LOL - he is in a stand stay, then I just placed his legs!
He is still a little low in the muscle area right now. He was looking really good about 3 weeks ago, but 2 things happened simultaneously
1) he has had another growth spurt and has grown at least an inch in the last month. So he looks super lanky to me right now, whereas before this he was more "balanced" looking...LOL just part of growing up I guess.
2) he had either a bad Rabies vaccine or had a bad reaction 2 weeks ago, either way he almost died and it took him 4 days to be able to walk and a week to be able to jump in the truck unassisted. He lost 5-6lbs in 4 days, we have almost put the weight back on, but he is still a little lean.
So we are now getting back into "conditioning" but it is definitely harder at -25C.

text: Technology that aims to keep congestive heart failure patients out of the hospital is gaining traction. The idea is for heart patients to take readings like their weight, blood pressure and other key metrics using wireless and other technologies; the data are then transmitted to a case manager or medical care giver. That way health care givers can catch, and address, warning signs before the patient lands in the ER with shortness of breath or a heart attack. In the past, patients have found such technology difficult to use. But a number of managed-care companies are experimenting with electronic devices meant to make the process easier.

Jordan Aumiller, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound outside linebacker/tight end from Boyle County H.S. in Danville, Ky., is starting to pick up speed - literally. The prospect got some news from his coaches recently that gave him a good goal to shoot for when it comes to getting enough speed to play at the college level. Cardinalsports.com has more on Aumiller, including an update on his recent visit to Louisville
"I was talking to my head football coach the other day, and he was saying I could probably get an offer from somebody if I ran a 4.6 in the forty, so I've been working hard on that," Aumiller said. "And last week I ran a 4.66." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

very beautiful
This is lovely
This is so very lovely. This one looks like Christmas.
so beautiful
Absolutely beautiful !!!
So much MORE than beautiful! Would you consider offering this as a POSTCARD in the Deviant Art print shop? I have been collecting various ones to send to friends and relatives to hopefully inspire them to fractal-making...
Thank you so much, Jenny ~ for your lovely comment and the ! I've never offered any of my work for print purposes (although I've had quite a few requests) ~ that's because I don't have a PayPal account or any way of receiving any profits from them. Can you give me some pointers? I clicked on the print section and I'm not sure what to choose ~ there are so many print options! Would I just delete all but the 'Postcard' option? Coco
You got it right! That's what I do when I want to buy a post card of my own work. I just unclick anything else clicked.....and choose only the postcard option. I think that Deviant Art will pay you in points. But I am not sure. When someone buys one of my fractals I prefer points....because I turn right around and use them by giving them as gifts or buying postcards from outstanding fractal artists!!
I hope this helps.....and I appreciate your willingness to do this for me. Your fractal postcard is going to go to one of my daughters (age 22) who has been feeling very down and sad lately....for many reasons. I want to remind her that to me and her father she is a precious pearl that we have loved since the day she was born...and nothing can change that.
Well, I've probably said enough.....thanks Coco
Thanks Jenny ~ I would love your daughter to have this artwork as a postcard, but try as I might, I can't get the thing right. I chose 'Postcard' in 3 finishes and the first 3 sizes, but I can't seem to make it change from the largest (and most expensive) size, to the smaller sizes. After much frustration, I would be delighted for you to print the image out for yourself, if you have a printer, but I guess you probably want the address part on the back. Sorry to be such a print dummy! Coco
wonderful creation.
very pretty!
Fantastic! I love that you added the little stars, not many would think to include such a detail. I think they add so much to the image overall! Def a must full view to appreciate this on every level! It reminds me of the halo that surrounds the moon and stars on a damp rainy night.
Nice alternative to your traditional Xmas tree!
Beautiful Like snow falling on the branches of a pine tree
So beautiful
Really pretty! Love those colours!
Looks like Christmas time is here again, Coco - all baubles and beads, even if no bangles. I do like the way that you have opened up your compositions so that the fractal element is less obvious. I find them less geometric (not that I'm against geometry) and more abstract, less regular. Coupled with your ever amazing palettes, this is another winner for me.
Thank you so much, David ~ once again for your wonderful comments, the and greatly appreciated feedback! Yes, definitely a seasonal kind of image, although not purposely so ~ it just kind of turned out that way! I'm happy you like the colour palette ~ I've always been attracted to blue & brown together! Cheers, Coco

Francesville, Ind. (AP) -- One pastor is concerned that confused church members will be on three different times after this weekend's time change in Pulaski County, Indiana.
That's because the farming area 90 miles north of Indianapolis is springing ahead not one, but two hours. It's switching from Standard to Daylight Time, and moving from the Central to the Eastern Time Zone.
The Federal Transportation Department assigned the county to Central Time when all of Indiana started observing Daylight Time two years ago. But it gave in after locals said they didn't like being out of sync with their friends to the east, and the county's biggest school district decided to hold classes on Eastern Time.
There were even different times on the courthouse and bank clocks.
A lot of folks just avoided confusion by calling ahead and asking whether they were going somewhere on "fast" or "slow" time.

Aces lose despite Ryan's 25, Taylor triple-double
Updated: December 29, 2012, 11:44 PM ETAssociated Press
OMAHA, Neb. -- Colt Ryan had another big game against Creighton, and Troy Taylor posted his first triple-double.
Yet for the 14th straight time, Evansville left with a loss after visiting the Bluejays.
Doug McDermott scored 14 of his 29 points in a 6½-minute stretch of the second half to help the No. 16 Bluejays pull away for an 87-70 victory on Saturday night.
Ryan, who scored an arena-record 43 points last season in Omaha, overcame a slow start to match his season high ...

The Machine That Changed the World: Interview with Ted Nelson, 1990
Full-length interview with Theodor 'Ted' Holm Nelson. Portions of this interview were featured in episodes from the WGBH/BBC Series, The Machine That Changed The World. The Machine That Changed The World was a five part series chronicling the personalities and events of the computer revolution. The program traced the history of the development of the computer to the modern personal computer, to future developments on the horizon. There was a focus on history of computers from 19th century to PC, present day applications, and future developments. Ted Nelson founded Project Xanadu in 1960 and has been called a pioneer of Information Technology. Select metadata for this record was submitted by John Campopiano.

It looks like they Photoshopped demons into the fiery furnace photos!
This is a fascinating process, dangerous too.
The femen girls should be put to work there as punishment for their media exposure
Engineering and Machinists PORN!
excellent tour and very well explained, lucky this place didn't get completely destroyed during the war.
Job only for tough men!
These arc furnaces consume a few dozens of megawatt electric power, as much as a small city! Each electrode delivers current of about 50000Amp, while average house consumption is usually no more than 20A! And transformer to supply such enormous power has the size of a small railway car.
I liked that this plant is quite neat and uses modern technologies, somehow out of the stereotype that all Russian industry dates to Brezniev time.
OMG, I was on the edge of my seat with anxiety while scrolling through the photos because I just knew some of the hot melted metal was going to splash onto a worker's testicles and rob him of his chance to procreate.
Now I can relax.
You don't really want to boil your iron. Crucibles and ladles are the proper terms where they've been referred to as boilers. Nice plant tour for an operation with an amazing history. Makes a large portion of the American Rust Belt look like a flash in the pan.
Great pictures of the Arc Furnace. I'm from San Manuel where they had Flash Furnace. The whole thing was torn down and moved out of the country. Anyway, my father worked for the company for over 30 years and worked everywhere until they upgraded the furnace to a Flash. Then help build the O2 plant and was the Manager there.
Other then that you got the machining labels wrong as I'm a machinist and have been on for over 17 years.
Starting from the seventh picture is 1960's lathe controls. Very much still great at doing the job it was design for. Eight:Starting to machine off the rust and to get to a ruff OD. 9th: Can't tell if he is measuring the OD or using a ultra-sound machine measurement. 10th: A guy bolting the Steady rest. 11th: The Chuck and Saddle..He is machining down the OD on the blank. 12: Another view to his work. 12: Cooling mixture while it looks to be machining the ID of the blank. The rest is pretty much easy to guess.

Blaming users for virus chaos?
The common rallying cry heard around IT Security departments is the need for more security awareness training for corporate users.
This cry seems to resurface every time a new email-borne virus comes out that dupes our users into clicking on an attachment and infecting their PCs. The IT security team invariably finds itself shocked that users could be so easily fooled into clicking on that attachment. They're blaming users for not knowing any better.
But is it really (or only) users who are at fault? I say that there's plenty of blame to go around. And more awareness training will not fix the problem. Oh, I think user awareness training is a good thing, but let's be realistic about what we can reasonably expect it to accomplish.

Pat Alviso traveled to Denver from California to urge delegates to do what they can to keep her son from a third tour in Iraq.
But Alviso didn't think delegates attending the Democratic National Convention would hear her message while inside the Pepsi Center or above the chants of competing protest groups.
"We want to stop combat operations now," Alviso said. "Eighteen months makes a difference to us because our kids could be dead by then."
On Monday, Alviso and other protesters got a chance to be heard during a one-on-one meeting with Colorado delegates on the 16th Street Mall.
The meeting was organized by Nikki Lamagna and Mandi Jones of voxboxing.
Live Updates
Noonan, who also runs coloradocapitolwatch .com, showed up with five delegates.
"We are here to listen to you, to learn what you have to say and to try to be movers and shakers," Noonan said to the protesters.
Code Pink asked the delegates to place pink "I am a delegate for peace" signs on the back of their state posters and to make their opposition to the war known on the convention floor when they vote.
Lamagna says she hopes delegates and protest groups can meet at 2 p.m.
Alviso and Rossana Cambron, of Military Families Speak Out, voiced their concerns to Colorado delegate Carmine Iadarola, who said he came to listen to the protesters because he is also concerned about the war in Iraq.
"I heard people say they don't want to talk to the protesters," Iadarola said. "But I need to know what they are thinking and that they are willing to talk in a civil manner."

Pan Pacific Theatre
7554 W. Beverly Blvd. | map |
Los Angeles, CA 90036
Opened: 1940
Architect: William L. Periera
The theatre building that fronted on Beverly Blvd. also housed a cafe, ice rink and bowling alley. It was a structure separate from the 1935 Pan Pacific Auditorium, which was behind the theatre building.
An ad from the collection of Marlaine Hysell announcing
ice skating at the Ice Rink that was part of the "Pan Pacific
Village" adjacent to the auditorium. The Village was advertised
as "Amusement and recreational center of Los Angeles
Ice Skating * Theatre * Bowling * Cocktails."
Note the theatre at the far left of the drawing.

Status: Closed in 1984 and soon demolished.More photos and information: See the Cinema Treasures page on the Pan Pacific Theatre for lots of comments.

Pan Pacific Auditorium
7600 W. Beverly Blvd. | map |
Los Angeles,
Walter C. Wurdeman and Welton David Becket of the firm firm of Plummer, Wurdeman & Becket designed the streamline moderne structure. Construction time was reported to be 56 days. The west-facing facade was 228 feet long. It was a food frame building initially intended to be a temporary structure. The auditorium was about 400' x 250'.
The name derives from a proposed Pan Pacific exposition that was talked about in the 30s. The exposition never came off, but the name stuck. The Auditorium was built by Phillip and Clifford Henderson for their private corporation, Pan-Pacific Corp.
A program for the 1943 Ice Follies at the Pan Pacific.
The program comes from the collection of Marlaine
Hysell, whose grandfather was noted Los Angeles
theatreman John Quinn.
full size view
In 1947 Pan-Pacific Corp. sold the auditorium, theatre and bowling alley to E.L. Cord, the former auto manufacturer. It eventually ended up under the control of the City of Los Angeles.
Everyone with a big show from Elvis to the Ice Capades played the Auditorium. See Gs Jansen's Pan Pacific Flickr set for some programs for Ice Capades and other events at the complex.
Seating: 6,000
Closed in 1972 and was allowed to decay. Many events that formerly played here were siphoned off to the new L.A. Convention center.
The auditorium was demolished after a May 24, 1989 fire. The fire was of suspicious origin and occurred on the eve of a planned restoration. There's currently a new Pan Pacific Recreation Complex building on the site that has echoes of the original structure. See Floyd Bariscale's photo of the new building on Flickr.
The Pan Pacific In the Movies: The facade of the Auditorium appears in "Funny Lady" (Columbia, 1975).
The best known role is in "Xanadu" (Universal, 1980) in which the decaying ruin is transformed into a nightclub with roller skating patrons operated by Gene Kelly. Somehow roller skating in night clubs just didn't catch on. The film used only the building's exterior.
More photos and information: See the Wikipedia article on the Pan Pacific Auditorium. The Scotty Moore website has an an interesting page devoted to the history of the Pan Pacific Auditorium -- and Elvis.

We spend lots of time in some back storage rooms of the complex in "Tuff Turf" with James Spader and Robert Downey, Jr. (New World, 1985). But there's nothing exciting to look at except a few signs left over from various events. It just looks like any old warehouse.
The Bruce Torrance Hollywood Photographs collection has 30 views of the complex dating from the 30s through the 70s.

10 Adorable Checkered Pieces to Buy for Your Little One!Latonya Yvette
For this last leg of my checkered-induced craze, I thought it was fitting to introduce some checkered kids pieces. If you've been reading along, I did posts about checkered pieces here, and here. I personally do love to see little ones in pieces that follow adult trends. Like motorcycle jackets, slouch pants, and little ankle boots. A kiddo outfitted in checker is no different.
Here are 10 adorable checkered pieces to buy for your little one!
Checkered Relaxed dress 1 of 10
I promise you, I have a dress that looks just like this! Time to buy this for my little girl!
Belted Checkered Dress 2 of 10
This little girl's dress is a mix of boho and modern. It would look fantastic with a pair of brown moccasins.
Clean "Mad Men" Checkered Dress 3 of 10
This is one of those little girl pieces that have me making a terrible face and crying "whhyyy?!" Why can't they make this in my size! And if you watch Mad Men, doesn't this dress look like it belongs in that series?
Mild Baby Birds Checkered Dress 4 of 10
J.Crew's baby section is just about the cutest thing ever. Yes, it is on the pricier side, but each piece sure is swoon-worthy.
"Picnic Blanket" Checkered Dress 5 of 10
This dress reads transitional to me. In spring it would look great with a pair of red Saltwater Sandals, in fall with a pair of little kid booties, and in winter with a pair of tights and flats.
Holiday Style Checkered Shirt 6 of 10
If you're anything like me, you are already shopping around for your child's holiday attire. We don't do much, but we are always dressed up. Year after year. It never fails. Oh, if I had a boy!
Available at Zara.com for $25.90
Dress Me in Mustard Checkered Shirt 7 of 10
This top, found in the boys section, is for sure a unisex top to me. Maybe because I do believe mustard is universal. Also, the thought of any kid - boy or girl - in the color just about melts me.
Perfect Purple Checkered Pants 8 of 10
These purple pants are the perfect stand-out piece for your little!
Mod Checkered Sweater 9 of 10
I love the Chanel-esque vibe on this little girls' sweater.
Checkered Bow tie 10 of 10
How cute is this?
A bow tie is one of those accessories that can be passed down from child to child.
Available at J.Crew for $25.50

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 346 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sm0814 Personalized Touches made for a wonderful experience. My wife and I stayed at the Westin Poinsett for our 10th anniversary. We were very appreciative of the staff there. In particular, Janice Smith and the concierge team were kind to surprise us with Champagne and dessert in our room! We look forward to returning there for future anniversaries! May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tom121 Location, location, location All the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed being able to walk to the Peace Center and to local restaurants. The halls were quiet, we weren't not expecting that on such a busy Saturday night. An all around enjoyable evening, thank you. May 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MKBUK Grand exterior, best location in town, rooms need work The hotel boasts a grand exterior that sets an expectation for the public areas and rooms, that isn't quite delivered. The room decor particularly disappoints, being drab American 1970s standard, with motel-like bathrooms. The standard room allocated was VERY expensive for a Saturday night stay. As a Platinum, I have to expect not to be upgraded when hotels are full, but to be pre-allocated a standard room on floor 4 (out of 11) when I specifically requested "Best view" was disappointing. (Perhaps there are no standard rooms higher up?) Despite having a reservation for two adults, the allocated room was clearly intended for one person, having just one bathrobe, one complimentary bottle of water and 1 turndown chocolate. Front desk indicated that late check-out was subject to availability for Platinums, so I presume this is one of the hotels registered with SPG as being a conference centre or resort hotel. (I don't have the list to hand, so can't check.) The check-in agent stated that the Platinum amenity as points would be just 250 rather than the 500 that I am used to at Westins. Is this a change in the SPG programme? I took the breakfast benefit, so did not find out if this was merely a mistake. Breakfast exceeded expectations. Platinums get the full buffet, and I found the choice and quality of food (as a vegetarian) to be excellent. May 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by reggio Perfect location...Perfect hoel Our stay here was perfect. The hotel is beautiful, staff very attentive and friendly, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. A really nice touch is being picked up at the airport in a BMW. The driver gave us a brief tour of the city on the way to the hotel. We knew the minute we got in the car we had made the right choice. We would not even consider staying anywhere else when we return to Greenville! May 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JimmyB67 Not what it should be We booked months in advance, asked for adjoining rooms, and got 308 and 309, which are on different halls altogether. My wife has kept her own last name forever--and we have been married for more than thirty years. She was treated rudely and almost not allowed to check in without me. Do let them give you room 309. It is dark with no light coming through a window that faces a brick wall, and noise from the band at night can be heard 3 stories up. Don't leave cookies out on a plate; the maid throws them away even when covered with a napkin. It was not a good stay for us. Better luck to the rest of you, May 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sgreed Wonderful room,great staff We came in town for a family wedding. We got checked in quickly got the room we wanted, king size bed. The staff was friendly, we asked for a few things for our room and got them right away. The room was cozy, bed was amazing! Shower was great too. May 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Francolino Staff Responsivness on the night of friday april 24th, there was an event in one of the conference rooms, with music and following my call they arrange in matter of minutes a new room for me to be able to sleep early and get rest ! Great and really thank you April 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tammy23 Great location We had a very pleasent stay. The staff was gracious and helpful. The hotel is in the middle of down town right on the main street which was lovely. We walked to many restaurants and shops. I only wish there was an in room refridgerator for personal use. April 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GV19 Journalist - Travel Editor The principal attraction of this hotel is: History, Elegant, Comfort and Location. In general the service is excellent. April 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Parrothorizon So Superb! Staying at a Westin was on my bucket list! I recently have been diagnosed with lung cancer. I went to Greenville, SC to see a concert at the Peace Center. The staff at the Westin was kind, concerned and wanted to help make my stay perfect at any cost. The room was so clean and the beds SO comfortable. I could not hear anything in my room. The only bad thing it rained cats & dogs all weekend. I have added to my bucket list....go back to visit Greenville, stay at the Westin for 2 nights and I hope it does not rain! Thank you for everything! April 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brad1000000 Only SPG Game in Town Greenville is a great city, and for a town this size to support a Westin is amazing. Staff was friendly and professional, and platinum received upgrade to a suite. There is no club, though there's a "preferred level"; free breakfast in the restaurant was offered to compensate lack of club. The hotel is very old, but is well maintained (not sure when it was converted to a Westin). It is in the heart of Downtown, within walking distance to many restaurants, the ballpark, etc. Street parking is free, and fairly plentiful nearby. I would certainly stay again, but this property is expensive compared to cities with more SPG competition. April 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VeronikaK Pleasantly Surprised My partner and I recently booked a room to spend the night for the Melissa Etheridge concert. We had the option of driving the hour and a half back back and forth from home, but decided to treat ourselves at this fine hotel. We were greeted with a very friendly and worldly parking attendant who was kind and helped us to find a convenient place to park. Upon check-in, the staff was very accommodating and gave us plenty of instructions that were very helpful during our stay. The room was so lovely and the bed just divine. It was so nice to come back to at the end of the night and an indulging way to unwind. We debated on going out for a late breakfast on our way back home when it was time to leave the next day. The late check-out was really nice and helped us to relax and not feel rushed. It also gave us more time to enjoy the poshness of our room. We decided to opt for room service. It was an easy experience to find what we liked off of the menu, which is sometimes tricky for us since we have dietary restrictions. The room service attendant was very nice and greeted us warmly. The food was just incredible. I never wear robes, but after showering decided to slip on the one that came with the room. As my girlfriend and I lavishly dined, I felt like a queen wearing the robe and feasting on the food expertly prepared by your chefs. This is our second stay at The Westin and most definitely not our last! We made a promise to each other to stay at a Westin hotel the next time that we want to treat ourselves, whether it's a simple excursion or a dream come true seeing Melissa Etheridge perform. The fruit infused water in the lobby was a great touch. We came home and made ourselves a batch! April 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Verky First of Many Stays... Convenient location. Charming facility. LOVELY staff. I am happy to have a great oasis adjacent to my business needs in Greenville. April 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Paul1963 I expected more for the price For about $200 I had high expectations. No pool, in room TV's are tiny, and no frig! The quality of the room was good but did I mention tiny TV's? There was water in my coffee maker but I had not idea how old the water was so we skipped making a pot. Water should not be in the coffee maker! The hotel nor the staff did anything to set this high price hotel apart. April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by havebusinesswilltravel One of the best stays to date. I have had mixed reviews in the past of this property, one great, one less than great, but this stay will go down as one of the best so far at an SPG property. The Valet team took great care of us, I was towing my Harley in the back of my truck so they accommodated us by parking it out front. Leah the front desk agent is probably the nicest, most professional staff member I have had the pleasure to work with at SPG, or any hotel for that matter. Without asking she saw our situation (traveling with kids and a dog) and put us in a room much more appealing after a long day. I truly feel like my platinum status was taken seriously and we were treated accordingly. She deserves an employee of the month, perhaps the year award. Thank you Westin of Greenville for renewing my faith in your hotel, I hope for many future great stays with your company! April 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by slamball1 Stellar personalized service I thoroughly enjoyed my visit back to the Westin Poinsett. It was expecially gratifying to be recognized as a return guest by the restaurant manager Mary and concierge Janice. April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DMac16 Westin Poinsett Great historic hotel. Fantastic staff, centrally located near great restaurants and shops. March 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CheriP Disappointing I used an upgrade to secure a larger room but as platinum to be on 5th floor with a handicap room was disappointing. Clock in room was off by an hour which I didn't notice as I went to bed so I was up earlier than I needed to be. When I told front desk they yet said oh. What about so sorry. Front desk asked what time I would be leaving yet still had housekeeping knocking on the door early. This has always been one of my favorite hotels but this visit as below par. March 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Noel6 Just average There are just certain things we found not to expect when staying at a hotel in the middle of a city. Having to pay for parking. Not having the appliances we are accustom to when staying at a hotel outside of an urban or downtown area (having the rent a small frig, possibly having a terrible view, and no micro wave oven). And of course you pay more for a little less. The location however was good, plenty of resturants and shops. March 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chief1624 Great Place to Stay... This was my third time in the Greenville area and my first experience staying at the Westin Poinsett. The hotel was very welcoming and the staff was very hospitable and friendly. My room was very comfortable and well maintained, however special attention to detail is warranted. The bathroom door was in need of attention and needed to be sanitized and wiped down by housekeeping. Other than that, it was a great experience. March 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rholloway51 Bad checkin experience My wife scheduled a surprise birthday getaway and during check-in all the staff was interested in was what time we were leaving so they could get the maid's schedule early for the room. This is my second review, and the first was a bad experience because the room was not ready at check-in. It seems this Hotel has a service problem. You would think at the rate of almost $300 a night you would not experience these issues. Do not stay here if it is for a special occasion because they do not care. March 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RBrandt The staff at this hotel is the best! I booked my room weeks in advance for a business trip and for some reason it got lost in the system, so when I checked a day in advance of my trip, it was gone. I called the hotel and they were fully booked, but the woman assured me that she would send an email to her manager and that if there was anything they could do, they would call me right away in the morning. As promised, Dru, the manager, called in the morning to tell me they had figured out how to get me a room and would love if I'd stay with them. When I arrived, they had put me in the Presidential Suite for one night! Dru came out from behind the desk to greet me, thanked me so much for staying with them, apologized for the issue with my reservation, and sent me ice cold Guinness for St. Patrick's Day. I do a lot of travel for work and stay in a lot of SPG hotels, but this may be the best customer experience I've ever had at a hotel, SPG or otherwise. Bravo! Thanks to Dru and everyone in Greenville! March 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jennifer65 This hotel has a great staff My daughter stayed here with her bridesmaids the night before her wedding and stayed with her husband the night of her wedding. The staff was very accomodating and they were very friendly. They made her stay very easy on a day that could be very stressful! Andre was a bellman who helped us tremendously! Their stay was a great experience! March 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hal47 Outstanding Service Amazing front desk staff and very efficient! The servers/staff/cooks are wonderful at the restaurant, and the food is great! I have participated with trek travel ride camp which has the lodging set up with your hotel, and what a great and smart relationship that is for you. I have fallen in love with your hotel because of the ride camp and have come down numerous times because of the set up. Great job! March 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Poinsette Disappointing I arranged a special evening for my husband and I to get away from our three small children and busy life. We were hoping to rest and relax. I asked at check in if we could be on a quiet floor. The front desk clerk assured me it was. Unfortunately, he was wrong. The party in the next room started at 2 am with loud knocking every hour as more people joined in and ended with a loud singing at 5 am. We left more exhausted than when we showed up. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by muffit Wonderful Experience We stay here whenever in town. It is our favorite hotel in the Carolinas. Love the area so much we are moving in 2 months to Greenville. Still plan to visit the hotel for special occasions. The employees are great. They are very attentive to your needs. Restaurants serve great food and reservations try to meet your special needs. If in the area, do not miss this hotel. March 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Paul8413 Drop in service I've stayed at this hotel many times for business and have had great service and a nice room. This time was visiting Greenville with my wife for a concert. Service was not so good and the room was very small. Hotel was booked, so was told another room was not available. First coffee maker in the room would turn off after brewing a half a cup. Staff replaced it with one that would not turn on. When I told the front desk at check out, they thought it was funny. March 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tami55 Wonderful staff! Excellent location The staff was very helpful and friendly. Raymond gave us a ride to dinner and returned to pick us up. That was a nice plus. I will definately stay at the Poinsett again. March 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by havebusinesswilltravel Worst treatment to date as an SPG member. I am for lack of a better word appalled at the treatment of my family and myself this stay. I have stayed at this location before and had no problems, but this time has been anything but. First we were told we could not be upgraded unless we paid, which fine, we had the rooms booked through a third party site which we never do but a new admin assistant thought they were helping. Regardless of that fact we are Platinum SPG members that stay exclusively at Starwood properties. Then we were told we would be in a room with two queen beds, well it was actually two double beds. So in the morning I asked to be moved to a room with a king and a roll away, checking online i confirmed there were still rooms available. I went to the front desk and was told Yeah I can do that, let me just check on something. And then when the front desk person returned she said "unfortunately we can't actually do that, we are in an oversold situation" It makes me question why we are even members of the SPG program. Ive never been so disappointed in an SPG property. If I had not already booked one additional stay here I would NEVER stay at this location again. March 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sneezy58 This hotel has a great straff Any member of the staff with whom I had contact was friendly, courteous and knowlegeable. TThey were a credit to the hotel. February 28, 2014

Often, the simpler the recipe, the better it tastes. My marinara sauce, with only six ingredients, is so very perfect in its minimalism. This juicy sauce is the best thing to eat with a big bowl of freshly cooked spaghetti. Plus, dinner will be on the table in less than half an hour. What could be better?
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves, very finely chopped
- One 26-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, no longer than a minute. Add the tomatoes, 1 cup water, oregano, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes longer.

Today, Associate Editor Erico Guizzo offers us a special blog on what has happened to the Norwegian glacier he reported on a year ago.
Erico Guizzo
You might have heard that Earth's warming climate is disturbing the lives of a wide range of animals, from Arctic polar bears to Scottish seabirds to tiny zooplankton organisms called pteropods. Now, a new species can be added to that list: British researchers.
The specialists in question are a group of engineers and scientists from the University of Southampton that for several years have been studying a glacier in southwestern Norway. Just recently, the group was forced to abandon the glacier, because it's rapidly disappearing—the crumbling ice gulping with it the monitoring equipment the researchers had set up there.
In the summer of 2005, I accompanied the group on one of their trips to the Norwegian glacier called Briksdalsbreen, part of the largest ice field in continental Europe (and reported on it in "Into Deep Ice"). The group, led by Kirk Martinez, a professor of computer science, and Jane K. Hart, a professor of geography, uses custom-built sensors that, embedded deep within the ice, send temperature, pressure, and other measurements to a base station at the surface of the glacier.
Photo: ERICO GUIZZO
Late last year, the group was contacted by a person who visited Briksdalsbreen and had some bad news: the group's base station had fallen down a deep crack that had opened in the glacier.
The researchers knew the glacier was shrinking, but the pace of its melting surprised them. In one year, it retreated nearly 100 meters. To see a 2001-2006 sequence of photos showing how the glacier has changed, see this example.
"The glacier is gone," Martinez told me in an email. "Lost a lot of gear in the lake. And the crash and splash [of the base station] killed the hardware before we could get any new data from the summer's new probes. So quite sad, really." He added that working on Briksdalsbreen is now too dangerous, and so the project will have to move to another glacier.
It won't be easy.
This week, the World Glacier Monitoring Service, in Zurich, released a preliminary report that says that mountain glaciers around the world are melting at an accelerated pace, confirming a trend already observed in previous studies.
According to the United Nations-backed report, from 2000 to 2005, the average ice loss rate was 1.6 times that of the 1990s and three times that of the 1980s. "The recent increase in rates of ice loss over reducing glacier surface areas leaves no doubt about the accelerated change in climatic conditions," Michael Zemp, a research associate at the World Glacier Monitoring Service, said in a statement.
Photo: ERICO GUIZZO
This past November, the Southampton group set out on a "rescue mission" of their glacier-swallowed equipment. They found their base station half submerged in the icy lake at the bottom of the glacier. The good news was that the compact flash card that stores the glacial measurements was intact, and the group will try to recover the data.
But even if that information is lost, they believe they have gathered enough evidence to probe into the dramatic melting of the Briksdalsbreen, and they're confident their findings will help understand what may happen to other rapidly melting glaciers worldwide.
Of particular concern are: the outlet glaciers of Greenland, which play an important role in controlling ocean circulation patterns affecting the climate of Northwest Europe; and also the massive West Antarctica ice sheet, which holds a volume of water equivalent to a sea-level rise of 6 meters and, if it collapsed, as some scientists speculate, would have catastrophic consequences.
The Southampton group's study is important because, despite decades of glacial research, scientists still don't know much about what takes place at the bottom of a glacier, where the ice meets a slope of bedrock or water-soaked sediment. As one researcher puts it, "Sub-glacial dynamics is an area with a gaping hole in knowledge."
So while researchers understand some of the basic glacier-shrinking processes, they still can't create accurate computer simulations, which in turn are key to know what the future holds for Earth's ice masses. It's this piece of the puzzle that the British team hopes to supply—if they find another glacier to continue their work.

We met Dario Sciolla for the first time in Piedmont a few years ago and were very impressed with his wines. He hails from a little town called Bastia Mondovì about 16 miles south of Barolo in dolcetto country. Dario's family has been growing grapes here for generations, the vineyards surround the family home but Dario was the first to bottle wine. His winery is about as big as your garage, ok maybe slightly bigger, but his was built around the time Columbus was dodging hurricanes in the Caribbean. He drove us up the hill about a mile away to see his pride and joy, the stunning Bricco San Bernardo vineyard. Bricco is a Piemontese word for the top of the ridge and from this ridge the view of the Alps is unbelievable, you can literally see for 50 miles on a clear day. This ridge was a favorite of the Partisans during Italy's Civil War in the middle of WWII and today there is a chapel dedicated to all that lost their lives during WWII. The yields at San Bernardo are very low (for dolcetto) at 3 tons per acre. Dario has stainless steel tanks for fermentation but relies on 18 months of aging in big Slavonian oak for this wine. The San Bernardo is classic dolcetto - rich and broad on the palate. The wine is powerful, dark and full of exotic fruits with great balance and wonderful length! This is a wine for aged cheese, game or, best of all, lamb.

works better at controlling ordor than the current Su Kin deordorant i am using. powder is a bit rough, but it's okay for me. smells like jasmine - initially a little put off by the smell, but after a while, is quite pleasant once your nose gets used to it. not yet the greatest at controlling ordor though. a slight smell still. but decent ordor control if not active work out.

I love this product! Doesn't keep me all dry but prevents the smell! The scent is amazing, I love it! I would really like to know what it is. I usually don't like any fragrances (actually i'm a bit sensitive to them) but this is something else!!! If you want to save some money, you can make this easily your self: put some baking soda (Red Mill's is my favorite, also available in iherb), add a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil. My favorite is one drop of tea tree oil combined with two drops of lemongrass oil. Very fresh and mild!

In a few minutes voting ends and we await results. Why not check out my game Off to the Races and let me know what you think. It's fun, I promise.
Hey everyone,
With Ludum Dare's rating period ending in the next 12 hours, I'm looking for some games to play and rate. If anyone has anything they want me to check out feel free to post a link to your game in the comments. I'll be sure to try my best to give some good feedback as well.
If anyone else is looking for games to play, feel free to give my game Off to the Races a shot. I'd love to hear what you think of it. It's mainly designed as a hectic local multiplayer experience, but it has a single player component as well.
Good luck!
We'll be streaming games for the next couple hours and rating games on Twitch at http://www.twitch.tv/ryannielson. Feel free to drop by, or submit your games to us at http://goo.gl/forms/8fX9VdD6X2 and we'll try our best to check them out.
My name's Ryan and I, along with my friend Matt, will be streaming and giving feedback on games this Sunday, May 3rd, at around 1:30PM ADT, 12:30PM EST, or 4:30PM UTC. We created a game called Off to the Races this jam and have really enjoy direct feedback from streamers, so we figured we'd do the same to give back to this awesome community.
You can submit your games here: http://goo.gl/forms/8fX9VdD6X2, or feel free to contact me on Twitter (@RyanNielson) with your game and I'll add it to the list.
Twitch.tv channel:
Fill out the form to submit your game:
All the responses so far:
We look forward to playing your games, and hope to see you all on Sunday!
Ryan Nielson
There are so many games to play, I'm having a hard time deciding which I want to rate/comment on.There are so many great games to choose from that it can be a bit overwhelming. If you post links to your games in the comments, I'll be sure to rate and provide some feedback as soon as possible. I try to make sure I provide useful feedback in all my comments.
I prefer web, but I can play on the following platforms:
If you'd like to give me feedback on my game, Off to the Races, when you have some time I'd really appreciate it: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=13891.
Thanks, and I look forward to trying all your games.
My friend Matt and I created a game called Off to the Races for the jam. We decided to make a game with a local multiplayer focus this time around, just to switch things up a bit. It does have a single player portion, but it's really meant has a hectic local multiplayer experience. We had a bunch of fun making it, and we're hoping you enjoy playing it as well.
Hey everyone, I'm in for Ludum Dare 32. As usual, my friend Matt and I will be partaking in the Jam using the following tools:
This will be our third Ludum Dare, and we're hoping it'll be our most successful yet. We had some success in Ludum Dare 31 with Enter the Murderdome, and we're hoping to continue that trend and make an even better game this time around.
I look forward to playing your games, and hope you all have a fun weekend!
There are only a few hours left to rate Ludum Dare 31 games, so if you haven't had the chance to try out Enter the Murderdome yet it'd be awesome if you could give it a shot and let us know what you think. We're currently working on an expanded version of the game and any feedback to help with that would be appreciated.
We'd also like to thank everyone who tried my game over the last two weeks, especially those that provided feedback. We think the game is fantastic, and we're glad many of you do as well. Like I mentioned earlier, we're hard at work on a post-compo version and have some great ideas of how to improve it because of your great feedback.
Thanks again for playing, and if you haven't please considering giving our game a shot before the deadline is up! We both look forward to Ludum Dare 32 and making even more great games with this great community.
We made our game Enter the Murderdome for the jam, but decided to release the source code anyway. I'm a huge fan of open source, since it's always interesting to see how other people do things and it's a great way to learn. I'll admit the code is not the best, but it works pretty well for what it is. I used Render Textures to render the game with a pixellated look. Unfortunately, this means you'll need Unity Pro to get the most out of it.
If there are any other games that have source code available, I'd love to play them and check out the code. So please leave links in the comments.
Folks from across the Wastelands come to witness fools like yourself attempt to find fame, fortune, and glory in the Murderdome. Challengers face off against each other in the most violent of modern day bloodsports. Each room of the Murderdome is equipped with gun wielding psychopaths, campfires, and explosives. You will need to move fast between rooms, otherwise your life will be claimed by the arena. Prepare yourself challenger, and come see what awaits when you… ENTER THE MURDERDOME.
It was a long weekend, but the game turned out better than we could have hoped. Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think. If you leave a comment on my game I'll try my best to give yours a shot.
We made some great progress on our game yesterday. The core game loop is in place, we have a menu system, a couple different enemy types, and lots of neat effects. Today is going to be spent working on audio and any other niceties we want to incorporate into the game.
We're working on a top-down shooter that has a strict time limit in which you must clear the room. Basically, you're given 15 seconds and kill all the enemies and get out of the room before it explodes. You keep going until you lose, and your goal is to see how far you can get. We have a core game loop so far, we just have lots of polishing, effects, and audio to do.
I missed LD30, so I couldn't miss this one. I can't wait to see what everyone makes. This time around I'll be using:
My friend Matt and I just recently submitted our game entitled Mind the Gap. It's about an explorer who does exactly the opposite of the title of the game, and finds himself plunging down a seemingly endless hole. More your explorer left and right, avoid everything in your way all while making sure you don't hit the walls. You may even be able to escape!
This is our first real Ludum Dare, so we hope you all enjoy the game. We're open to any criticism, good or bad.
I'd also like to thank all the organizers and participants of this Ludum Dare. It was an awesome experience, and the next can't come soon enough.
Play here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=13891
And since you all like pretty pictures, here are a few. Enjoy the game!

The next seven days in China will do a lot to shape the next four years in the United States.
In a context arguably at least as important as the just-concluded elections in the United States, the week-long gathering of the Chinese Communist Party will determine what happens in the largest country on the planet.
Are you paying attention?
There's lots of speculation, as we shall report below, on who's who in CCP, who'll be on top, who'll be ousted, and who'll control the assertive Chinese military. And, like Kremlinology of the cold war, it's interesting to look at and make educated guesses about. But China isn't going anywhere: it's not falling apart, it's not on the verge of counterrevolution, and its economy will likely continue to grow at substantial rates. Beijing will become more assertive in Asia, and it will quietly but firmly challenge the traditional American hegemony in that part of the world. Handled right, the US-China relationship can survive and prosper. Handled poorly, especially in areas such the China-Japan rivalry, Taiwan's inevitable Hong Kongization, and China's need for unfettered access to oil from Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, it could mean serious conflict.
The 2,270 delegates to the eighteenth party congress will elect a new Central Committee, nearly 400 full members and alternates, and by next week more than half of its members will be freshmen. More than half of the Politburo, the twenty-five members of the top leadership, is retiring, and one, Bo Xilai, has already been kicked out. And the Politburo Standing Committee, with nine members—the ruling body that makes decisions by secrecy-shrouded consensus—will see major changes, possibly shrinking to seven members. Its composition, apparently already decided, and the relative rank of China's top leaders, will be revealed—at least to the extent that such matters are made public—next Thursday. Seven members of the Standing Committee are retiring.
What's it all mean? The man who will lead China now is Xi Jinping. We'll have to wait to see if Xi ushers in modest political reform, a little political reform, or none at all. It's unclear whether he's so close to the Chinese military that he'll allow them more influence, or whether he'll be able to control the generals effectively. And it's uncertain whether he'll move China faster toward market-type reforms that would weaken China's vast system of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) or whether, as favored by outgoing President Hu Jintao, he will bolster the SOEs.
Last week, in a major speech, Hu Jintao warned that his successors "should steadily enhance the vitality of the state-owned sector of the economy and its capacity to leverage and influence the economy." And while he supported some reforms, he warned: "We will neither walk on the closed and rigid road, nor will we walk down the evil road of changing (our) flags and banners." In a blunt section, he said that fighting corruption in China is so vital that failing to do so could collapse the state. "If we fail to handle this issue well, it could prove fatal to the party, and even cause the collapse of the party and the fall of the state. We must thus make unremitting efforts to combat corruption."

When his nephew is killed by a mugger, Lieberman will do anything to bring his family justice.
In a posh part of Chicago's North Side, two Trinidadian men look for someone to jump. Waiting outside an apartment building, they see a couple shivering in the cold as they make their way to their car. The Trinidadians draw guns, demand money - and quickly go too far. Shots ring out, and the muggers run. Behind them, the man is dead, and his pregnant wife lays bleeding in the street.The murder victim is the nephew of Abe Lieberman, one of the most dignified cops in Chicago homicide.
When he learns of the killing, Lieberman's calm facade cracks. As he works with his partner, Bill Hanrahan, to find the killers, Lieberman makes a pact with the devil - ready to sacrifice everything if it means finding the men who gunned his nephew down in the street.
©2013 Open Road Integrated Media (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"Vengeance or justice-sometimes a thin line."
I love the Abe Lieberman series, and this was a good story, actually several stories. Kaminksy's wonderful characters are brought to life by an excellent narration by Richard Ferrone. There is a surprise ending, rather artificially concealed, although hinted at in retrospect; Abe's "solution" to the dilemma facing him is creative but decidedly unrealistic.
"Found a New (to me) Author!"
I'd never heard of Stuart Kaminsky before. I'm so glad this book was offered on sale as it was great. I loved that the two police partners are a Rabbi and a questioning Catholic.
I'm also glad to see that he has over 40 books I still have to read!
"Good ending but the story was just OK"
I wouldn't listen to it again, I just wanted to get through it to start my next book . The personalities were a bit bland, I felt like I was hearing about a boring cop's boring life that happened to have a bit of drama in it one day. The murder of his nephew seemed to be "just a bit of drama" rather than a horrible experience.
No, but I doubt I will listen to another Leiberman story.
It may have been the story but it seemed to fit with the main character's personality. Dry, slow, a bit boring.
Yes, remove any Lieberman novels from my wish list.
"Not predictable, Nice surprises along the way!"
Engaging storyline, believable characters, and some really nice plot twists along the way. The arch of the story is strong with good pacing and juxtapositions in perspectives. Enjoyed this and will listen to more in the series!(
"Very nice. 👏"
Not usually into murder mysteries, but this book was well written and beautifully narrated. Well worth a credit.
"Quirky detective story"
This reminded me of some of the Ed McBain 87th precinct books - perhaps because of the weather scenes. I didn't like the narrator at first then I grew into his performance. The lead detective was an interesting character. I quite liked the book, but if there was a series I probably wouldn't buy any more.
"A very different kind of police procedural"
Very high.
Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series and Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti series. Good authors and many in the series.
One Horse Town
"Too Jewish"
I think that anyone who grew up in a predominantly jewish environment might enjoy this. I grew up on the north side of Chicago so I thought I would enjoy this but I found there was very little substance to the story and too much "jewishness". I am from a jewish area of the city but never experienced this type of environment. The reader mispronounced the street names which also drove me crazy. I would not recommend this book as the story itself was very weak and did not keep me interested.
Lack of substance. Too little time devoted to the mystery. Too much devoted to "fluff"

Do Republicans support Thad Cochran in a runoff and risk damaging tea partyer Chris McDaniel, who could wind up their nominee? Politico's Ben White reports.» Read More
The program so far seems to have been a resounding success, but what will the government do with lingering assets like AIG? Cramer talks to Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability Tim Massad.
One of the most significant legacies of TARP is that it has increased the chance of more bailouts, Neil Barofsky, the government program's special inspector general, told CNBC Wednesday.
This year at bonus time, it pays to work for Citigroup's investment bank. The bank is paying up to 65 percent of the bonuses for its traders and bankers in cash, according to people with knowledge of the payments.
Analysts are saying the end of March, but Cramer wants investors ready long before that.
When the biggest US banks submit their capital plans to the Fed on Friday, it will mark an important post-crisis milestone for the industry, clearing the way for many of them to resume providing dividends.
About 20 percent of the banks that received TARP funds from the US Treasury have missed payments.
Ninety-Eight banks that received TARP funds are still in trouble, based on their third quarter financial results. The number of troubled banks has risen from 96 last quarter. A 2 percent increase in the number of problematic banks may not sound like an impressive jump in risk — but it certainly isn't an improvement either.
While Citigroup has managed to rebuild itself from the ruins of the financial crisis, investors likely will have to wait until 2012 to reap the rewards, CEO Vikram Pandit told CNBC.
Cramer thinks it could be. To learn more about how it's working, he spoke with the Treasury Department's Tim Massad.
Yes, and here are four ways to play it.
Plus, Huntington Banc or First Horizon—Which do you buy?
The country is headed in the right direction, Alan "Ace" Greenberg, former Bear Stearns chairman and CEO, told CNBC Friday.
Stock sales are helping the government offset projected losses from its $700 billion rescue of the financial system.
The government's heavily criticized $700 billion financial rescue program has earned nearly $35 billion in income over the past two years, according to data obtained by The Associated Press.
Citigroup remains too "interwoven" to fail even after the government has plowed billions into rescuing the banking titan and Congress has passed laws taking aim at financial behemoths, Citi Chairman Richard Parsons told CNBC.
Since the US central bank launched its $600 billion round of asset purchases at the start of November, its critics have not hesitated to accuse it of recklessness, incompetence and conspiracy to devalue the dollar, often in vitriolic terms, the FT reports.
The bank has told US regulators that it has sold enough assets this year to meet the final condition that was set on its landmark plan to repay $45 billion in government bail-out funding. The FT reports.
Former President George W. Bush told me in a CNBC interview today in Salt Lake City that the stock market was not a fair scorecard of his presidency.
Unless stock markets move sharply this afternoon, GM shares are likely to be priced at $33 apiece later Wednesday—the top of their announced range—as part of the company's IPO, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The firm may declare a buyback to send a message about how cheap its shares are, according to an analyst fresh off a meeting with CEO Jamie Dimon.

I have a file (loop.php) which contains the loop (while (have_posts ... endwhile)
Next I have an index.php, archive.php and a search.php. All of which contain get_template_part('loop').
In my functions.php I add a hook called wp_ajax_infinitescroll which executes the following function:
function MyInfiniteScroll(){
$loop = $_POST['loop'];
$page = $_POST['page'];
query_posts(array('paged' => $page ));
Then I have some JavaScript which does (I left out some code here to simplify):
url: "http://xxxxxxxxx/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php",
data: "action=infinitescroll&page="+ pagenr + '&loop=loop',
success: function(html){
My problem: on index.php this works perfectly, it shows all posts.
On both archive.php and search.php the first "page" works also, but any subsequent "pages" load all the posts again and not those limited to the search or archive.
I suppose somewhere along the line WP_Query is "reset"? So what am I doing wrong here/am I forgetting?
PS: before someone tells me there is an infinite-scroll plugin, I know. However it is not usable in this particular case which is why I try to write my own.
