Enjoyable and very informative guide / driver
A really good tour with a very knowledgeable and nice guide!!
We saw turtles on the beach which was a real bonus!!
Chris is a amazing guide! Best trip ever:)
Expert driver, saw all that was advertised, driver was very helpful and kind, went out of his way for those handicapped.
Great tour, highly recommend. This was a 12 seater bus which was intimate and comfortable. The tour showed us a lot of the Island, beaches, the beautiful Byodo-in temple, green mountain areas, Sea turtles and the Pineapple plantation. The guide was great, friendly, helpful and full of information. The stops were just the right length of time and we all enjoyed this tour.
Although you spend a lot of time sitting on the bus (compared to time spent out of the bus), this is definitely a worthwhile trip! You get to see a lot of the island in half a day, there are some great photo ops, and my tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The Dole stop was a little bit long, and I wish we could have stopped in Haleiwa (we only drove through it), but all around, it was a great experience!
Dante did a fine job as our guide.
The tour guide and driver was great , we really enjoyed her
Worth every penny! I got to see beaches of the North side which were so different from Waikiki. Plus...the sea turtles! Pineapple ice cream at Dole was very, very sweet!
Our trip to the North Shore was great. Our guide, Nett, was wonderful and kept us on schedule. I love how Viator picks us up on time. The only problem was the huge waves or lack thereof. There weren't any due to the season. Of course, this is no fault of the guide or Viator. This was my 3rd tour with Viator and I will definitely book with them again.
excellent day good guide lots to see well worth it
This was an outstanding tour! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area and provided great information that we would otherwise not have known.
The only negative we have is that we would have liked to have been able to stop in some of the small towns on the north shore to look around a
Enjoyed the guide!!! Much information!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip - very informative young lady led the trip and at the end recommended a restaurant for me " The raging crab" which was a unique experience for me. overall a very worthwhile trip
Lovely afternoon trip via a beautiful temple, some good beaches, we did see a turtle and home via the dole plantation for some delicious pineapple ice cream. None of the stops too long and all operated very smoothly.
Excellent tour, highly recommend. Get to see all the highlights of the northshore without the hassle of driving yourself.
This was a fantastic tour and excellent value. Our guide, Jeanette, was very knowledgeable and made the afternoon fun and interesting. We saw so much of the island.
Dante was a fantastic guide with lots of insight and humour as we travelled around. A really great way to see the mountains and Oahu beyond Waikiki. The only thing that would have improved it was more time at the Dole Plantation but other than that it was our favourite tour of the trip :)
Wonderful boat ride and snorkeling. It was raining and cold, but still fun.
The spinner dolphins were great.
This was probably the best tour we had on our whole Hawaii trip and it was the cheapest too.
Our tour guide/driver was not only extremely knowledgeable but had a great sense of humor too! Our group was a mixture of all ages and a fun time was had by all. I am a travel agent and know of the best rated tours on all the islands. My husband and I rated this one of our best tours this trip.
Gra Australia
Ronna our tour guide was fantastic. She explored many parts of the north shore and explained with detail which was great. Great company and lots of places to see. Highly recommend....
The tour was the perfect ending of our vacation. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. In a short period of time we were able to see more of the beauty of Oahu.
Great tour..knowledgeable and entertaining guide..Rana
The tour was fantastic - we enjoyed every minute of it and our tour guide was very informative.

Move along men there's nothing to see here, just a mare with her vault and money, nothing special.
I like it.

wow this reminds me bout the story 'friendship is tragic'
nice pic

Looks impressive! Cool!
She's more like a dragon than she admits, lounging around large piles of money as she does.
I am happy that I watched you....YOU WORKS ARE SO AWESOME
I like where this is going, mostly because I know where this is going, but I still like it. Also bad ass picture!
Are those stacks of money?
And once again the art is so totally, mind-blowing awesome.

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 564 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by traveller1397 Good experience Fay at check in and conceirge staff were particularly pleasant and efficient. Very pleasant breakfasts thanks to Alem and her team in the restaurant. Smaller room than last stay but comfortable enough. Hotel is in an excellent location for tourists. Walking distance to most major attractions. December 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Victor1940 Platinum! Just reached SPG Platinum level and the Westin staff went out of their way to recognize and celebrate my new status. Last thing I expected when I checked in near midnight, but waiting for me in my room was a beautiful cake and a bottle of red wine! Well done! December 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Celine78 Excellent place This place is beautiful. The staff is attentive and it's always with pleasure that I'm going to the Westin Close the major attractions, museums. December 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by RJL2014 There are far better SPG places in the DC area The service at breakfast was atrocious. The server adjusted her undergarments in view of us and other guests and then went about serving food without washing her hands. The sound proofing in the room was non-existent. The valet (self-parking is not available) damaged our car, and when we complained, referred us to the valet company without returning our calls or emails. The valet company has denied our claim, alleging that the damage already existed when it didn't, and now the valet company adjustor refuses to return calls or emails. This location is sub-par for the Westin name. November 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Merubitas Great location! You are near great restaurants and attractions. The breakfast buffet is outstanding. November 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by NotHappyCustomer2014 Extra charge in my invoice Overall the hotel is fine. When I checked out, it took 10 minutes to get a staff. Since they can send the receipt in email, I didn't ask for a paper copy to be green. But when I checked the receipt in my email after a few days, I found out an extra parking charge. Then I need to contact the hotel again. After several phone transferring, I got an answer machine. I still need to call again, and it totally waste my time, and my travel report will be delayed. I can't believe how it could happen. Not happy at all. Very bad experience. November 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by santri1969 Stayed weekend - good for touristy stuff A little worn out Westin, okay for weekend touristy stuff. November 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1588Dan Nice weekend in DC We enjoyed our stay and found the staff very kind and helpful. November 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Glenber Best Breakfasts! Great Location Courteous Staff!! Another fantastic stay at the Westin. From the Valets, to the Front Desk Staff, Wait Staff this is a GREAT place to stay. Must try the Cuban sandwhich and the scallops in the FringeTree Restaurant. FringeTree is a great restaurant, tucked just outside the lobby and has some of the best food in town. Everything is clean, staff is accomodating!! Looking forward to my next stay. November 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by wigstheome Decent Westin Checked in on a Wednesday night, fairly late. As a Platinum, was not offered any upgrade, although status was acknowledged. Checkin was otherwise straightforward. The room was fine, but nothing to write home about -- in relatively good physical condition, but definitely on the small side. That said, the bed was comfortable and the HVAC worked well. Breakfast in the restaurant was surprisingly good, with very helpful service. All in all, not bad, but not overly impressive either. October 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by starbucksguy first impressions are everything From the moment we arrived. we knew we would enjoy our stay. the hotel was bright friendly and clean. At the reception desk we were greeted by Nazee Alikhanova. She was full of smiles, friendly and very welcoming. After having Nazee assist us with check in, confirming all details because we had 2 separate reservation. We knew we were off to a great start to our fun weekend in DC. All was just what u expect when staying at a westin hotel. We had dinner in your restaurant one night. Our server who's name I can't recall was attentive and friendly. the food was ok, but we orders a few drinks which we thought were a bit pricy but perhaps doing happy hour would of been a better choice since we were a little surprise of the cost. DC is a great city to visit. So easy to navigate thru public transit. I would absolutely suggest everyone to plan to visit the Westin DC City center. You won't be disappointed. October 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by pepe12 Great Staff This hotel has great staff, they made our stay very pleasurable. October 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RPwalker Great hotel The Westin was in a great location - close to everything, the services were exceptional, the room was comfortable and clean, the fitness center was very complete and the bar/restaurant served quality food at reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and look forward to my next visit. October 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Glenber Great Location / Excellent Staff Great location. Wonderful experience. The breakfasts in the morning are the best. The Westin was very clean and comfortable,really impressed with the Heavenly bed and shower. The staff is very accommodating. Everyone on staff was friendly and courteous. Looking forward to a return trip to the DC Westin. October 5, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JBirdontheroad Total lack of attention I am a Platinum member and was in DC for a conference. I decided to stay at this Westin rather than the conference hotel since I am a big Westin fan. I have to say that the total lack of attention my simple request received was not in keeping with the usual high Westin standard. When I first checked in at Noon I was given a 2 double bed room that had a view of the interior courtyard instead of the King I requested on my profile. I asked the front desk to move me to a outside view King room, reminded them I needed a feather-free room, and left for the conference. I returned at 5pm to get into my new room and change for dinner. I was in an outside King but it was not feather free. I asked the front desk on my way out to please have housekeeping de-feather the room and left. I returned at 10:30pm and went to my room which STILL had not been de-feathered. I returned to the front desk and requested for the 3rd time that day to have the room de-feathered. A half-hour later a gentleman from Westin Corporate came to my room with a cotton blanket. I helped him make the bed and he left. There was no apology or acknowledgement from anyone on staff for this. I occasionally have to ask once to have my room de-feathered but 3 times in one day and to not even be offered an Upgrade as a Platinum member is bad management in my opinion. I will not be staying at this property again! October 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoOnTheGo A successful meeting, yet again - and the food is spectacular This is our second year hosting our annual conference in D.C. at the Westin City Center, bringing together staff from every state. It was wonderful to see the beautiful rennovation the hotel has undergone. The entire hotel staff up to and includding the General Manager were constantly checking in to be sure everything was running smoothly. all the attendees were extremely impressed with the quality and presentation of the food - Chef Nunez is very talented! Chef helped us tailor the menu and offered alternatives that accommodated all atendees pallets - Presentation of the food was beautiful and mouthwatering! From beginning to end, service was exceptional. We will plan to have more of our meetings at this location. September 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by KV08202 Terrible Service Hotel staff was unprepared, and uninterested. I was overcharged for multiple items (parking, internet, and bar tab). As a gold member I received none of my benefits. After requesting a late check out (3PM) the staff began pushing me out the door starting at 10AM. Housekeeping ignored the do not disturb on my door and entered the room on three separate occasions, insisting that I must checkout immediately so that housekeeping can service the room. At noon I was checked out of the room automatically, my keys stopped working, and housekeeping showed up again, this time arguing that this room was already checked out and I "MUST" leave to allow them to clean. The bar closes at midnight, at 11:40 the bartender initially refused service, because he'd be closing soon. Eventually he did serve us, but then turned the lights and TVs off just a few minutes later, again before midnight and while at least a dozen patrons were still there finishing drinks and watching TV. I was then charged more than the listed price for parking, and charged for internet, which was supposed to be free for SPG Gold. When the line at check-in was long, I waited in the Gold and Platinum line. One clerk serviced the main line, and neither of the two additional staff members at the desk made any attempt to help any other customers (with or without status). Overall just terrible service from a multitude of people across several departments. I certainly will not be returning to this hotel, which is clearly mismanaged from the top down. September 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Michabc HVAC in rooms needs upgrading The HVAC is so noisy that it prevents restful sleep. This is pervasive throughout hotel and staff knows it September 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by TravelsWithKids Uneven service While the hotel was recently renovated, there were several things off with our room: the interior doors didn't fully close, the sliding door of the shower came off the hinges, a picture was hung upside down. While staff was nice, our room was not ready when promised (even when we called ahead, and this was for a regular - NOT early - checkin time) and the crib we had requested was not there. We had to call twice before it was brought upstairs. The facilities in general were nice though and the lady at the front desk went out of her way to make up for our room not being ready, sending snacks up for the kids. September 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TMicci Fabulous DC experience at the Westin City Center! I stayed at the Westin for a conference and had the most enjoyable time there. The staff was not only helpful but friendly and courteous. I enjoyed getting to know the staff and the chef is phenomenal!!!!! I can't wait to visit again and stay at the Westin! September 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Disappointed2k Breakfast was terrible Reservations staff was excellent. 2nd time to have breakfast here and it was very expensive and quite bad. Wait staff looked bored, table wasn't set right (no spoon) fresh fruit was by no means fresh, toaster didn't toast bread till you put it through 3 x but coffee was good. Room had no place to hang clothes and was freezing no matter hoe much I raised the temp on thermostat. Conceierge took my bag to hold it for me and made a pt of telling me he was leaving prior to when I would pick it up (so I would give him a tip?). I expect more from westin September 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by totoro Undervalue service The hardware was great. The signature heavenly bed and room temperature helped feel me home. Service was lack of elegance and skillfulness. 1) Long queue at the front desk to check in. 2) No invoice so very inconvenient to check later for wrong charge. 3) It was only SPG hotel that could read BRG rate from the system. Unlike other SPGs, it complaint the guests should hand in printed version of BGR approval upon arrival. Haha~ August 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kzook Not the spg experience Chose this hotel while I dropped off my son for college.. Not because it is the closest hotel to campus, but brand loyalty to Starwood as I have the Amex too. Valet is 50/day and they could care less when you arrive..3 guys there and no one even opened the hotel doors for us. I did not recieve an upgrade as I am supposed to with my spg status, although instead of an atrium view, we got a room a football field away from the elevator w a window view, not helpful. Not bigger or nicer, just further and a view of another hotel.. Turns out I only needed the room for one night, but the rate that I originally booked was for 3 nights, so I had to pay for the 2 nights I wasn't there. Couldn't even adjust one night, they had me pay for 2 empty hotel room nights. They also had the audacity to charge me Valet for all 3 nights when I wasn't even there the last 2. So I get to call and hopefully get my bill adjusted, inconveniently. So when I return to DC to visit my son, brand loyalty is not important. I will not stay here again. August 26, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by fred79 A disappointing exprience The Westin DC completely failed to meet the expectations I am used to with Westin properties. The staff responsiveness was below average, the in-room dining was a total disaster (mixed-up the order, twice, spoiled food) and the hotel itself is old and in dire need an upgrade. I have been a long time Starwood Platinum member and have grown to expect the excellence that a large majority of your hotels provide. The Westin DC Center failed me miserably. August 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jim127 Not driver friendly The enterance is very had to find when driving. At least 4 members of our group had to go around the block and try to find the enterance the second time. When I lchecked out it took 33 min to get my car delivered. the esculator to the meeting rooms omly runs one way down in the morning and up in theafternoon. a pain it you are in and out of meetings. August 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by jbone425 Not a good place to stay Well, let's see if they delete this review like the one a did a couple weeks ago that was detailed and took me quite a bit of time. This has neither the feeling, comfort, or service that a Westin does. Old dank atrium in lobby that unfortunately a lot of rooms look into. Rooms with outside views have sliding doors that are sealed shut for your comfort. After 3 phone calls to property and 2 to plat concierge I still have not received the 2000 SPG points owed me for making a "green choice" That stay was a month ago. Perhaps instead of deleting my review someone could contact me and resolve my issues. I wonder how many other poor reviews of this hotel have been deleted. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AFisher125 Great hotel for business travel Good accommodations and would recommend August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BobbyL Great choice... THE WESTIN WASHINGTON, D.C. CITY CENTER proved to be a fantastic choice for our trip to the Washington area with our friends the Walshes. The accommodations were superb and the staff was extremely attentive... especially the bellman Ernest who went to any means to ensure our complete satisfaction. The location is very convenient to the tourist attractions that tell the many stories about our Country's history. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by michele4 Nice hotel We enjoyed everything about the hotel except that our room was next to the elevators which were very noisy so it kept us up late and up early with some hammering or repair on the elevator. August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Twocs Small room but comfortable and very clean Room is small but very comfortable and clean. Westin beds are the best. August 17, 2014

Say what you will about the current Michael Mayer-directed revival of the 1965 On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, which will close Jan. 29 after 29 previews and 57 regular performances at the St. James Theatre, but the musical did introduce New York audiences to a new star-in-the-making, Chicago native Jessie Mueller. Mueller, who is making her Broadway debut, plays a 1940s jazz singer named Melinda, whose no-nonsense personality and striking vocals draw the attention of Dr. Mark Bruckner (played by Tony nominee Harry Connick Jr.). Mueller, who often reminds one of a young Judy Garland or Liza Minnelli, greatly impresses with her jazz-tinged vocals and her ability to shift from a whispery tone to a powerful, rangy Broadway belt within the same phrase. Her performance of "Ev'ry Night at Seven" is especially exciting and makes one hope a Jessie Mueller concert will be presented in the not-too-distant future. Just a few hours before it was announced that On a Clear Day, which also co-stars David Turner and Kerry O'Malley, will end its run at the end of the month, I had the pleasure of chatting with singer-actress Mueller, who spoke about her Broadway bow, her Chicago roots, her famous co-star and more; that interview follows.
Question: Since we haven't spoken before, where were you born and raised?
Jessie Mueller: I was born and raised in Evanston, IL.
Question: When did you start performing?
Mueller: I didn't really start performing until high school. My whole family is actually in the business, and started in the business in Chicago, so I was going to shows when I was a teeny-tiny kid, but I didn't really start performing until high school.
Question: When you say your whole family is in the business, what do they do?
Mueller: They're all actors.... Roger Mueller is my dad. My mom's name is Jill Shellabarger. Then I've got my brother Matt Mueller, my sister Abby Mueller, and my brother Andrew Mueller.
Mueller: Not yet. I'm expecting and I hope they all get to, but just not yet.
Question: When you were in high school, what shows did you get to do?
Mueller: I think my first show was The Wiz, and I was in the ensemble… [Laughs.] I did Working in high school — that was really fun. I feel like everybody does that in high school or college.

I must say thats l33t
This is a 3d side-scrolling remake of the 1988 classic NES game Blaster Master' The tiny 8-bit sprites will be reconceived as high poly normal mapped models' Gameplay and level design will remain true to the original, but the art style will have a more organic/grotesque/creepy feel to it' The engine is based on the Quake source with some heavy modifications that I've made to the renderer' The game will be freely distributed and users do not need to own any other software to run it'
I must say thats l33t
Sweetness! Jason looks bad ***!!!
the visor's shape looks a tad off though.
Work in progress shot of the player model. I still
need to do more detail work and the animation
sequences. The skin texture is just a quick
placeholder. 910 triangles, normal mapped.

Yeah, sempre legal ver o arquivo sobre a Mel... viva a Mel!
Very cool!
Eu sempre achei que ela já tinha um profile. Mas gostei por resumir bem a descriminação, agora mãos com luvas? Isso é diferente.
Like the new changes on her outfit.
Can't wait for the rest of her sister's.
Cool one of Melodia AKA Cinthia Melo AKA Mel
Cinthia? Ela não tem cara de Cinthia!
lol o alter ego dela tem o nome bem parecido que o de uma amiga minha O_O''
She definitely belongs on file! ^_^
Nice perspective and bio! Well done for this project!
Looks like someone got a redesign. I really need to do this meme.
Mel I am sorry I drew you flying
Very nice, but it's musician, not musicist, if you wish to edit.
When did Mel start wearing gloves?
Mestre de Esgrima? Interessante...
Joinha de info,brodi

Is she still referred to as Melodia?
No, just mel and the alter ego is Cinthia (not sintia)
Awesome profile.
Ohh now she has gloves?
Heh! This will be information good to know.
Interesting. Didn't know Mel was a fencer; I guess she practises with Ignis a lot, when her sis wants to sharpen her katana skills.
Awesome stuff! She needed a profile for a while. Keep up the great work. ^^

He is entirely formula fed (no nasty comments on this please I have a medical condition and was told by doc to stop breastfeeding when he was 1 week old) he was taking about 33oz a day and was sleeping through the night for the past 4 weeks or so. The last 2 days he's been refusing to take more than 29 and 27 oz but wakes up at 4 am for food. He is not lethargic, not sick. What is going on?
Anyone else experienced this?

The truth will change you.
It's been more than 8 years since the last Deus Ex game was released, and it's about time we get a new one. Eidos Montreal are rebooting the series with the prequel Deus Ex Human Revolution on August 23rd.
The game is set in the year 2027 and puts you in the shoes of Adam Jensen, ex-SWAT and current Chief of Security for biotech company Sarif Industries. Sarif are one of the leading companies in the Human Augmentation market. The world around you is divided by the controversial merge of biology and technology. Society is torn apart and the world is changing. After an attack on the Sarif head offices, you are shot and left for dead. Sarif are able to revive you, while upgrading you with the very augmentations that are tearing the world apart. Augmentations make you stronger, faster, and more intelligent with skills such as hacking, sprinting, cloaking, regenerating health and many more.
Deus Ex Human Revolution is part first person shooter, part 3rd person shooter, part stealth and part RPG. The combat is played out similar to Splinter Cell Conviction with a cover system, stealth attacks, and plenty of weapons. When put in a combat situation you can choose to go in guns blazing, attract a ton of attention and put your life at risk. You could also sneak around the environment and take out each enemy like a silent assassin, or if you want to you can sneak through the level without killing anyone at all, if you can maneuver (objects can be moved to create new paths) through the obstacles without being seen. The way the camera works is you can zoom in and out from first person to 3rd person view, depending on your situation. If you want to take cover and sneak around, you can zoom out, want more intense shooting and zoom back in to first person. It's a very interesting idea which seems to work quite well. Fallout 3 had this feature, but I never felt the need to go into the 3rd person view, here you will find many situations to use it.
From what we've seen the game looks like a lot of fun with plenty of action (or not if you choose to be stealthy) but the most attracting part of Deus Ex is the RPG elements in play. There is the typical experience points you earn from completing story and side missions if you find and choose to complete them. You can use those EXP points to upgrade your weapons and augmentations. As you play you will also need to make decisions in certain situations, where the choice you make will have consequences. Eidos showed off an example of this where you are trying to solve a hostage situation and you can choose to try to persuade them to let the hostage go in exchange for their freedom but risk pissing them off and they kill the hostage. You can also try to take out the attacker and also risk missing and killing the prisoner. Regardless of your choice, it will change certain things in the game going forward.
Not only does having consequences for your choices make the game more personal, it also adds greatly to the replay value. You could choose to keep things quiet and use stealth to kill enemies, escape combat situations, and choose to be peaceful and try to charm your way through the game. Then start a new game and you could be a one man killing machine and tear through the enemies with an arsenal of weapons, and just kill people for what you want. Either way, it's your game, how you choose to play it. Play the game mutliple times, multiple ways, that's how you extend the life of the game.
Deus Ex Human Revolution comes out on August 23 and we couldn't be more excited from what we've seen so far. If you aren't convinced yet, then check out the trailer below.

Bat/Whip VS. Over Under
Which would you rather see people us in barrels?
Posted via Mobile Device
I rather see them use leg. I find a bat easier to use though, especially for newbies.
The way i see it, is they are already going balls out!! Same with on the race track. What, do they got a little reserve speed that they put aside that only comes out when their gettin their ass whipped! No, their already going BALLS OUT!! Whats the point? I have never seen a horse pick up speed from being whipped.
Well actually I have a few horses(mostly OTTBs) that need a little extra encoregment(sp) to get moving after the last barrel so I use an over under and sometimes a whip if I can't find a over under in the trailer.
Posted via Mobile Device
what is an over/under?
Neither. If your horse doesn't have the heart to give every ounce he's got and 15 more he didn't when you ask with your leg, then he will never be a champion barrel horse, no matter what you whip him with.
2 Attachment(s)
The over/under (or over and under, or however you're supposed to type it :oops:) is a length of leather or rope that attaches to the saddle horn. The rider picks it up and uses it on alternating sides of the horse.
I detest seeing BRs using whips of any kind. It not only looks messy and amateur, it shows a lack of training. I don't care how fast the horse needs to go, you should be able to send them that message with leg, seat, and voice.

Great tunes should sound great anywhere. You don't have to leave your music behind thanks to Monster's NCredible NErgy in-ear headphones. Developed in conjunction with Nick Cannon, the NErgy earbuds deliver big bass and big comfort. You can even wear them when they're not comfortably resting in your ears the magnetic earpieces grip each other, making them easy to wear around your neck and ensuring that your music will always be there.
The NCredible NErgy's ControlTalk Universal in-line remote gives you control over most Apple and Android devices. The built-in microphone and multi-function button offer the convenience of taking calls and playing music without rummaging around in your pocket for your phone.
Decent sound for ear buds. Mic worked but not all the inline controls on my galaxy S3. Absolutely horrible though about staying in your ear with all the different sizes of rubber ear pads. No better than a $20 pair from a discount retail store.
Cons: wouldn't stay in the ear
These headphones are really nice. I would say that they are close to the bottom line as far as nice headphones go, but at the same time they offer nearly the same sound quality. Any higher end than this, and your dealing with the little things. They have a very full sound, and the bass is very nice and balanced.
Pros: Magnets, button on cord, good sound, deep bass
Cons: not the most comfortable
Very nice headphones reduce outside all together but fall out of ear lot
I've always stayed away from Monster as I thought they were gimmicky and probably overrated. Then one day I was in the market for some "beater" headphones that I could mow the lawn with (don't want to stress my B&W C5s) so I purchased these. At first they sounded subpar, even less than what you'd expect at this price. But over the next few hours I found a balanced sound that is ever so lightly treble-ish with forward mids and nice, controlled (but not exaggerated) bass. The combination of beautiful sound, comfort, noise reduction, and utility (I have to admit, I love the magnetic buds that click together) make them my go-to phones. And now I have to find another set of yard-mowing buds.
Pros: Great sound, comfort, and utility
Cons: Kind of goofy looking

The ear buds have magnets on them so when they're not in use, you can attach them together and wear them around your neck to make a fashion statement.
ControlTalk Universal: The Beats Wireless includes a headphone cable with an in-line ControlTalk Universal remote control and microphone. ControlTalk Universal is designed for use with most smartphones, including iPhone and Android devices.

Phone controls for iPhone include answer call, hang up call, decline incoming call, use call waiting, and use voice activation features. Playback and phone controls for other devices are more limited than those of Apple i-devices. See the ControlTalk Universal compatibility list here.

Divers Explore North Atlantic Shipwreck
Mort Raphelson, 92, was on that ship 70 years ago when it was sunk by a German U-boat. Divers presented him with two bowls recovered from the wreck.
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A World War II veteran got a visit from a group of divers over the weekend. They had found a shipwreck in the North Atlantic, the very ship Mort Raphelson was on 70 years ago when it was sunk by a German U-boat. He told the South Jersey Career Post he was eating breakfast when the torpedo hit, so when the divers presented him with two bowls recovered from the wreck, the 92-year-old thanked them, joking: Where's my soup?

Okay, we have to admit that we know next to nothing about the new ROBO*ROCK movie coming out later this month. Of course it could turn out to be a real bomb. But, it does have all the right elements to catch our attention. A giant robot, action, gangsters, excitement, a giant robot, young enthusiastic kids, and rock music. Oh, by the way, did we mention it has a giant robot?
The robot rock movie is scheduled to start its "road show" on Friday, November 23rd - a national holiday here in Japan, and the movie trailer (see video below) looks really cool. And, the official website has some downloadable wallpaper of... a giant robot!
The official ROBO*ROCK website looks cool enough by itself so that we will have to check out the movie as soon as it's in the theaters. Of course we'll post a review here on Robots Dreams after we get a chance to see it. There's no word on plans to distribute the movie overseas, but we'll try to track down some information and let you know.
And here's a look at the giant robot wallpaper (link below if you want to download a copy):

Playing for Potatoes: Akron – Utah State Preview
Before each college football season starts, every team sits down and sets their goals for the year. For blue bloods like Alabama or Ohio State it's "Championship or Bust." Non-brand programs like Iowa or Washington aspire for a division or conference title. Some teams, like the Akron Zips, just want to go bowling. The Zips accomplished that goal in 2015 during their 7-5 campaign...

Article Summary
Belgian diving enthusiast and inventor Rene Baldewijns found that dive boats were rarely available when or where he wanted to dive and that a lot of dive time was lost looking for the area he wanted to dive in. So he conceived a boat that that could drive itself off the trailer, along the road and into the water whilst carrying larger quantities of air and equipment than any diver could carry. His dream boat could travel to the dive area like a speedboat and then literally ... pull the plug out and dive. Whilst dived, it had to be able to cruise around underwater until he found the right area, then park on the bottom as an underwater base to support diving activities for two. When finished, the idea was to blow the ballast, surface, and return to land at high speed, driving out of the water and onto its trailer. The prototype he built has achieved all those aims.

Nissan Execs Were "Arrogant" About EV Market
It is no secret that Nissan has been disappointed with sales of the Nissan Leaf EV, falling well short of executive expectations. This has lead Nissan in recent weeks to pull back and re-evaluate their electric vehicle sales plan, as well as leading some executives to admit that their U.S. strategy was "…a little bit arrogant."
The arrogance has to do with Nissan's bold 50-state rollout plan, which the Japanese automaker expected to lead to increasing sales across the U.S. Initially, Nissan rolled out the Leaf to EV-friendly areas of the country like Hawaii, California, and the Pacific Northwest. By fall of 2011 though, the Leaf was for sale in every state, regardless of infrastructure or interest.
This has led to less-than-hoped-for sales, with Nissan executives expressing disappointment that their mass market EV hasn't had the market penetration they hoped for. Nissan's CEO Carlos Ghosn had predicted sales of 20,000 Leafs this year, though Nissan hasn't even hit half of that number yet.
The problem stems from the assumption that there were people in every state eagerly awaiting the arrival of electric vehicles. As it turns out, the initial wave of early adopters gave way to a more tepid response. Stabilizing gas prices and a series of plug-in car debacles probably haven't helped matters.
But Nissan seems committed to the Leaf EV, pledging a new strategy going forward. With their new Tennessee factory capable of producing 150,000 Leaf EVs and batteries annually, the Japanese automaker doesn't really have much choice in the matter. The question is, are buyers willing to commit?
