Good 3.7 /5 from 175 reviews
Great place to stay ,nice fitness room. Close to everything. Quick check in service.
Great hot breakfast included with the price of the reservation. Pool was very relaxing, but needed some repair on the bottom at the shallow end where it was breaking on the floor surface.Room was comfortable and close to everywhere I wanted to go.I would definitely stay here again in the future.
Horrible customer service
Older hotel in need of finishing updates. Comfortable beds. Old popcorn ceilings with a lot of water stains in my room. I would probably stay again if I needed to. Breakfast was not good. Everything was overcooked or no longer there. Had a waffle station but no mix.
Hotel located great for access to University of Acron campus

British Intelligence Needs Internet Specialists
One of Britain's intelligence agencies is struggling to find computer whizzes. They are inviting would-be employees to hack a website to test their skill.
And now the last word in business today comes from one of Britain's intelligence agencies. It's struggling to find Internet specialists so it's tried to go viral with the phrase Can You Crack It. That's the name of a website. GCHQ is spreading around social media networks. GCHQ stands for Government Communications Headquarters. Sounds harmless enough. The spy agency is targeting computer whizzes, maybe even hackers who may not be exposed to traditional advertising and who don't know the agency could use their talents. Those who crack the code will be redirected to the agency's jobs website and invited to apply.

Church educates young Nargis victims
Cyclone survivors benefit from training projects
ucanews.com reporter, Yangon
February 24, 2011
With aid work in Nargis-affected areas winding down, the social arm of the Catholic Church in Myanmar is offering young villagers 'life skills' so that communities can develop and take better care of themselves. Cyclone Nargis ravaged Myanmar in 2008 and religious organisations report that many families are still struggling to recover. As a result children's education has been suffering. "Rehabilitation projects are ending soon so we are providing training in certain skills so that villages can develop and prosper when we have left," said Father Joseph Maung Win, director of Karuna Yangon Social Services. He said 101 young people from 40 villages are currently in Yangon pursuing two month courses in mechanics, sewing and nursing. Sixteen girls also attended a February course in collaboration with the livestock breeding and veterinary department in basic veterinary skills, he said. The course in mechanics is really useful since we had to depend on others to repair boats and tractors, said Linn Yaung, 25. "Now I will be able to do all this myself and I will share what I've learned with others for the development of the village," he said. Naw Wah, 22, said the nursing skills she is now learning will be very important. "I'll be able to provide medical care quickly. People have to travel along way to get care if they are ill or suffering from snake bites," she said. In another project, Pathein diocese has introduced a commercial water purifying scheme, the profits of which will be used to help educate underprivileged children. "We are looking to support children's education in the long term by selling drinking water," said Father Cyril Win Maung, who was behind the scheme. He said when the diocese first bought the drinking water machine five months ago, there was initial opposition from priests and parishioners who said the Church should not be engaging in a commercial enterprise. But now they can see the benefits since the business is now earning about 1 million kyats per month (US$1,000), Father Win Maung said. Peter Zaw Moe Lwin, who is in charge of the business, says they are initially looking to provide guaranteed support for 100 children who would otherwise have had to rely on outside donations. "We still need, however, to improve our marketing skills," he said. Augustine, 14, who lost his father during Nargis, said his education came to a halt after what was the worst natural disaster in Myanmar since records began. "Now I can finish my education thanks to the Church. I'll show my gratitude by working hard in classes," he said. .

Markiplier Animated | Mark Of The Survey Corps
This took far too long to make...3.93 / 5.00 3,582 Views
The over all has one or two flaws, but it could be improved easily. I like the general concept, but the animation is choppy, and the flashbacks could have been better, but I can see the artist doing something really great with this start.
You know what?
10. Yeah, the animation could use improvement, and the humor MAY have been improved if you used the actual audio from the g ame (even though I see why doing that voice would make it funny)
But I can see a great effort here.
The movements are a bit choppy, you could of animated some of the flashbacks, and the whole sequence is a bit too long.
But it's a great concept. I hardly know anything about Portal, but i still laughed. The camera shots and art is also pretty good.
I'm not a great animator myself, but if the animating was a bit better here I would of given this a eight or nine.
Trying to be generous...
Should definitely put more time in. Its so much more entertaining when you produce something with the extra man hours in it. Like others say also, there is quite a few "Portal" parodies out there and in order to really make one stick, its has to stick in the mind.
Great Idea
Loved the music and story behind it, but the animation lacks...a lot. Put this to better animation and you might have a winner.

Hey hey guess what. It's four years later and I just read this and I loved it and cried a little. Many of us Fanfiction writers could learn a bunch of things from this peice. I just want to say thank you for existing.

So great! Only thing I can say that bothers me is that in your sentence 'Lust quickly lost to fear', it should be the other way around, since lust won out at the end.
| jocaramel chapter 1 . 3/29
This is. By Far. The best. Fanfiction. I. Have. Ever. Read. This is so detailed at I like the beginning and the end. A lot of fanfictions which I have read lately have an "okay" plot that slides into reeeeeally good smut, but this is better than what I expected. This has a really nice, comedy touch at the ending, and it leaves me really wanting another chapter for this. I haven't checked out your profile yet, but I have no doubts that your stories are some of the best around.

Cuban artist points the finger at the Catholic Church in controversial child crucifixion art project
The paedophilia scandal continues to haunt the Catholic Church, this time through the realm of art – though some may disagree about how appropriate the use of the term "art" is in the case of Cuban artist Erik Ravelo's project "Los Intocables" (The Untouchables).
Ravelo recently published a controversial photo collection, featuring images of children "crucified" to the backs of a number of symbolic figures representing different contexts in which violence is notoriously inflicted on children. "The images refer to paedophilia in the Vatican, child sex tourism in Thailand, the war in Syria, the trafficking of black market organs "donated" by children in the third world and obesity," Australian website news.con.au reports. "Erik Ravelo took a series of photos of children hung like Jesus from a cross, but in the place of the cross were soldiers, surgeons, priests and Ronald McDonald," the website explains.
The image which points the finger at the Catholic Church, depicts a young boy in nothing but his underwear, pinned to the back of a Catholic cardinal. It is a painful reminder of the sex abuse scandal that has plagued the Catholic Church in recent years.
Ravelo said he took the photos to make a point about the state of childhood in the world, though numerous complaints have been made about the degree of nudity in the pictures. Ravelo has continued to publish the photos despite Facebook having removed them and shut down his account, news.con.au reports.
Many comments on the artist's Facebook page (most of them in Spanish) seem to show a positive reaction to Ravelo's interpretation of the crude reality of sex abuse against children.
In a statement to Argentinian newspaper Clarín, Ravelo said: "What a coincidence that they should only remove the photo of the cardinal. I think many people get irritated when someone tells it like it is and now they are annoyed at the fact my art is so frank," Ravelo told Clarín.
According to the website, Ravelo, a Christian, said the religious icon of Jesus on the Cross does not belong to any one person or group.
"The religious icon is not someone's else religious icon. It's my icon too, it's my culture, it's my education, it's the way I was taught to communicate. So, in any case I'm talking about me too," the artist apparently said.

Product Description
World historians should read Duchesne's controversial book and join him in debate. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. D.M. Fahey (Miami University), "Choice," November 2011 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
From the Back Cover
This extensively researched book argues that the development of a libertarian culture was an indispensable component of the rise of the West. The roots of the West's superior intellectual and artistic creativity should be traced back to the aristocratic warlike culture of Indo-European speakers. Among the many fascinating topics discussed are: the ascendancy of multicultural historians and the degradation of European history; China's ecological endowments and imperial windfalls; military revolutions in Europe 1300-1800; the science and chivalry of Henry the Navigator; Judaism and its contribution to Western rationalism; the cultural richness of Max Weber versus the intellectual poverty of Pomeranz, Wong, Goldstone, Goody, and A.G. Frank; change without progress in the East; Hegel's Phenomenology of the [Western] Spirit; Nietzsche and the education of the Homeric Greeks; Kojeve's master-slave dialectic and the Western state of nature; Christian virtues and German aristocratic expansionism. "The Uniqueness of Western Civilization" is every inch the embodiment of the striving spirit the author finds so characteristic of the endeavors of Western man -- a hankering after high achievement and a wish to make one s mark through the overthrow of accepted opinion. But Duchesne is no polemicist. For all its argumentative power, "The Uniqueness of Western Civilization" is old-school scholarship at its best; consequential, closely reasoned, richly evidenced, and professionally courteous. Stephen Balch, Chairman of the National Association of Scholars With this book, Duchesne...becomes more than a good man -- he stakes his claim to being thought a sage..."Uniqueness" may persuade readers to ponder on the ineffable nature of the human soul. It will certainly become an indispensable reference on the great passages of history. Eric Jones, author of "The European Miracle" World historians should read Duchesne's controversial book and join him in debate. Summing Up: Highly recommended. D.M.

Duchesne views Western civilization (starting with the Greeks, and, as we'll see, actually much earlier) as largely unique among the large cultures of the world. He explains that many of the multiculturalists are actually relying on Western ideas of universal human equality, or of the equality of cultures across the globe (a uniquely Western idea, not a wonder that most multiculturalists are in fact Westerners), and similar ideas. So while many people argue that the West is a non-existent civilization, or that it's the worst or most aggressive civilization - well, the West is the only culture which produced people criticizing their own culture in these terms.
Duchesne's point of view is largely Hegelian and non-materialistic, which makes it possible for him to think not in terms of economic development only. He accepts that for example Western Europe was not more developed circa 1750 than China - but in the same time makes a very good case of why it was largely unlikely that China would ever have had an industrial revolution, whereas it was only a question of time in the West. One compelling case is the case of Western science: China had a lot of practical knowledge, but didn't have anything like modern science, for example no Chinese philosopher or scientist ever made fame (before the Europeans arrived, that is) by disproving the theories held at his time, whereas in the West it was and is the dream of any scientist - to disprove received wisdom.Read more ›

In the book's first half, Duchesne undertakes a vigorous and exhaustive interrogation of the entire gamut of academic world history's current pace-setters (Andre Gunder Frank; Immanuel Wallerstein and world systems theories: Pomeranz-Wong-Goldstone et all on the Great Divergence; Patrick Manning on Big History; Felipe Fernandez-Armesto; John Hobson on the East's influence on the West; Jack Goody, etc.). It is a tour de force challenge to the prevailing academic paradigm in this field. It deals specifically and rigorously with the work of the above mentioned scholars and incorporates and summarizes a huge amount of the research of many others who in various ways challenge the paradigm - David Landes, Joel Mokyr, Aaron Maddison, Joseph Bryant, Margaret Jacobs, Peer Vries (partially), Edward Grant, Toby Huff, Harold Berman, Victor David Hanson, and a number of others.
Duchesne explores a great many facets of the debate among these scholars, but I will mention just one: the arguments about the "Great Divergence," of the West, or England, from China. It is inescapable from Duchesne's exhaustive review of the counter-evidence that there is an enormous amount of solid research calling into question the contentions of Kenneth Pomeranz, Bin Wong, Jack Goldstone et al that China and Europe were economically similar through the 1700s and that only England's luck at having nearby coal and bonus land resources from its colonies gave it an edge. (Goldstone's view is somewhat different from this but results in the same overall conclusion - that the West was in no way uniquely enabled by its cultural history to launch the industrial age). In my view the evidence Duchesne reviews is pretty conclusive against this theory, but it is clear in any case that those defending the theory simply do not deal with much of this evidence rigorously, if at all.
I do not think anyone will be able intelligently to defend or criticize the prevailing paradigm any more without grappling with Duchesne's thorough analysis. He comes down solidly on the side of the critics of the current paradigm, but he deals honestly and rigorously with the ideas of those he disputes - plus he gives all of them plenty of credit for advancing the field as they have in many ways.
Duchesne devotes the second part of his book mainly to his own theory about the uniqueness of Western civilization. That theory is definitely not a mindless Eurocentric celebration of the West. It is much more of an acquired-taste/hard-liquor take on Western uniqueness - stressing as it does the role of a uniquely aggressive, restless, aristocratic-warrior derived individualism, which Duchesne traces back to the Indo-European horse-riding nomads of the Pontic steppes. It is this combination of qualities he sees as forming the matrix within which the West's rationalism, science, philosophy, art and literature, as well as its industrial drive and dynamism, war-fighting proclivity, and imperialism evolved. I happen to find his take intriguing, bracing and clarifying, I admit. But even if you don't, you cannot expect to understand the debate at the very heart of this field without finding out what Duchesne's take is and grappling with it. Aside from his case for "uniqueness," which will excite opposition I am sure, his stress on culture and intellectual life, ideas, over the current sociological and economic emphasis is in my opinion long overdue.
(By the way, one of the ironies in Duchesne's analysis is his view that the multicultural critique of "Eurocentrism" is itself as Western as can be, a manifestation of a unique "negativity" inherent in the dynamics of Western culture, with its constant and restless curiosity about what is just over the horizon, what is unknown and unbounded - or, to put it in more fashionable words, the "Other.")
Duchesne's exploration of Western individualism and rationalism, with extensive discussions of Max Weber, Hegel, Homer, Nietzche, is more speculative than his analysis of research in the first half of the book. For one thing, in anthropological and sociological terms his own insights rest heavily on what is still only indistinctly known about Europe and the Pontic steppes back a good three thousand years BCE or more. Otherwise, they arise out of extensive explorations of the thought of some key philosophers and social theorists, most of whom are not considered relevant to this field, but should be. It will not be easy to convince the unconvinced that Duchesne's speculations in this realm are provable, but his ideas will still clarify the terms of debate even for those who disagree with them.
Unfortunately, the book is idiotically overpriced. I sincerely hope a cheap paperback is being planned, because at this point few will be able to afford the fee. A thorough discussion and debate about this book and its implications is going to be unavoidable if the field is to advance and recover a vitality it is now in danger of losing.
Since the 1990s, a potent revisionist movement has been trying to install a new interpretation of world history. Spearheaded by well-known academics from numerous fields (such as the late Andre Gunder Frank, Jack Goody, Ken Pomeranz, John Hobson, Jack Goldstone, and Ian Morris), the revisionists claim that prior views of the shape of world history are almost all "Eurocentric." They strongly disapprove of anyone who might suggest that the West is exceptional or that it blazed a special path in history. They hold that the "rise of the West" to extraordinary wealth and power was late, lucky, and is probably temporary. Duchesne dubs this movement "multicultural history." Because it declares the parity of all cultures and civilizations, its bias is to level down the West by pointing to instances of Western inferiority and backwardness, and by downplaying the disproportionate achievements of the West.
But now Duchesne's profound and wide-ranging "Uniqueness of Western Civilization" is leading a counter-critique of the revisionist movement. Duchesne outlines the intellectual context out of which this version of revisionism emerges; provides a detailed and devastating critique of the specific claims of the revisionists, particularly concerning early modern Chinese and European economic and scientific development; and offers a bold new explanation of how and why the path of the West diverged so markedly from that of "the rest." Each of these three elements is in itself a work of interest.
So, what makes the West unique? It is partly the singular emergence of democratic culture, including the capacity for self-criticism from which revisionism itself derives. It is partly the rationalization of so many spheres of life, from science to law. It is partly the culture of innovation and widespread competition. These are all classical explanations for the divergence of the West. What Duchesne adds is an emphasis on the "continuous creativity," as he calls it, of the West, and the argument that the creativity of Western civilization derives from a longstanding matrix of aristocratic libertarianism.
This is a long, challenging, and complex work; but it is highly rewarding. The book engages with both empirical and philosophic issues; covers economic, cultural and political history; and spans from prehistory to modernity. Like its subject matter, it is individualistic, contentious, and unique.
The book is a good overview of Western history as well, and I have found the references to be quite intriguing. It is obvious that a ton of research has gone into this project, and we are rewarded with this synthesis. I have since purchased some of the books he has examined and am enjoying these reads as well. The history of the philosophy on Western civilization is most rewarding, as he contextualizes the writings of Hegel, Weber, Spengler, Nietzsche, and others.
The book is bound well and the paper is good too. The hardcover makes the book a lasting one.
My inspiration for buying the book were two things: my recent travel to China, and the listening of this podcast on the New Books in history website: [...] The podcast will give you a good feel for the tone of the book.
One last note, this is a scholarly book. It is filled with references, citations, etc. This may be an issue for non-scholar types, but I made it through.
Bottom line: get it if you're interested in why the world is the way it is today instead of something else. That's my take anyway.
It was the vigor, boldness, and the acquisitiveness of Germanic war-bands that kept the West alive [after the decline of the Western Roman Empire]. These lads were uncouth and unlettered, much given to quarrelsome rages, but they injected energy, daring, and indeed an uncomplicated and sincere love of freedom, a keen sense of honor and a restless passion for battle, adventure, and life. (p. 465).
Duchesne quotes lines from Beowulf:
As we must all expect to leave
our life on this earth, we must earn some renown,
If we can before death; daring is the thing
for a fighting man to be remembered by. ...
A man must act so
when he means in a fight to frame himself
a long lasting glory; it is not life he thinks of.
Well, he is a Revisionist that makes you think outside the box.

Two-electrode voltage-clamp electrophysiology has been used to study the actions of two amyloid peptides (Aβ1–42, Aβ1–40) on α7, α4β2 and α3β4 recombinant human neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nicotinic AChRs), heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes.
The application of Aβ1–42 or Aβ1–40 (1 pM–100 nM) for 5 s does not directly activate expressed human α7, α4β2 or α3β4 nicotinic AChRs.
Aβ1–42 and Aβ1–40 are antagonists of α7 nicotinic AChRs. For example, 10 nM Aβ1–42 and Aβ1–40 both reduced the peak amplitude of currents recorded (3 mM ACh) to 48±5 and 45±10% (respectively) of control currents recorded in the absence of peptide. In both the cases the effect is sustained throughout a 30 min peptide application and is poorly reversible.
Aβ1–42 and Aβ1–40 (10 nM) enhance currents recorded in response to ACh (3 mM) from oocytes expressing α4β2 nicotinic AChRs by 195±40 and 195±41% respectively. This effect is transient, reaching a peak after 3 min and returning to control values after a 24 min application of 10 nM Aβ1–42. We observe an enhancement of 157±22% of control ACh-evoked current amplitude in response to 100 nM Aβ1–42 recorded from oocytes expressing α4β2 nicotinic AChRs.
Aβ1–42 and Aβ1–40 (10 nM) were without antagonist actions on the responses of α3β4 nicotinic AChRs to ACh (1 nM–3 mM).

VANTAGE The Washington State Patrol is routing westbound Interstate 90 traffic through Wenatchee and Blewett Pass as it investigates a crash near the Columbia River bridge at Vantage.
Interstate 90 remains closed following an 8 a.m. crash between Mileposts 137 and 138, the State Patrol reported.
Westbound traffic is being routed onto state Highways 281 and 28, then back south on U.S. Highway 97, the State Patrol reported. The route includes the nearest bridges over the Columbia River.
The State Patrol has yet to release any information on the crash. And troopers, so far, have not commented on using the Vernita Bridge south of Vantage, at the northern edge of the Hanford Reservation.
The State Patrol does not currently have an estimated time for reopening of the interstate.

Well & Good
Exercise and I have a chequered past.
As a writer, who spends inordinately long amounts of time sitting on my butt/shovelling biscuits into my mouth, I'm well aware of the benefits of exercise. The trouble is that like most mortal human beings, there are usually at least 27 things I'd rather do than a bunch of crunches.
My mistrust of exercise can all be traced back to two distinct events in my early childhood.
The first was during the annual Jump Rope For Heart 'Skip-A-Thon'. We had to skip up and down the playground, a bit like a jump-rope relay. Being a competitive sort (before my sporting spirit was crushed mere seconds later), I went at it at full tilt. Unfortunately this caused both my woollen tights and my underwear to fall down around my ankles. I didn't finish the race.
The second event was a couple of years later, where - at a new school with a far more serious physical education program - I had to take part in a fitness test. We were instructed to briskly walk, then run, around the netball court, while the teacher made notes in her folder. I later snuck a look in the folder, and found that she had written: "Clemmy Bastow" - please don't laugh - "inappropriate arm swing". INAPPROPRIATE ARM SWING? What even is that?
To this day I am still haunted by both moments, which is why I tend to shy away from running, lest my arms swing inappropriately and my underwear fall down. Consequently my relationship with staying fit and active has been disordered to say the least.
Yes, it's been a rocky road to fitness, and one characterised by many detours into the gimmickiest of exercise routines: I've done the Jane Fonda Workout (without the Jane Fonda Heart Attack, thankfully), the 1980s pilates-predecessor, Callanetics, spun around on a ridiculous Frisbee-like contraption called the "La Twister" in the hope of whittling my waist (instead I only whittled my stomach contents to the point that they became mouth contents once more), and done Linda Hamilton's pre-Terminator 2 regime (minus the rifle stripping).
However, this tale of athletic woe has a happy ending, and I'm pleased - if slightly surprised - to say I found it in the middle of a hula hoop. Yes, just like the ones we used to throw around the gym at recess, only a little more fancily designed: this one can be broken down into pieces and travelled with, and has a shiny silver tape twisted around it that may or may not make it go faster.
I bought it in a moment of desperation, a few weeks ago, hopelessly out of shape after a year-long break from any form of regular exercise. The PR said hooping was fun, a claim I would ordinarily look askance at, but as I found myself wheezing at the top of the ten stairs (as in individual steps, not flights) to my bedroom, I decided to take their word for it this time.
It also came with the requisite celebrity converts: Michelle Obama, Beyonce, Olivia Wilde and Marisa Tomei are all dedicated hoopers, with Tomei recently enthusing to Shape magazine that "A friend took me to a class a few years ago, and I smiled the entire time. Once I started doing it regularly, I felt like hooping worked all the little muscles around my body - it shimmied everything into place!"
The inside word on hooping is good, too. Having been in the headlines since about 2008, the international "hooping" community is now thriving, leading to the American Council on Exercise doing an investigation into hooping's purported benefits: they found that hooping "exercisers can expect similar results from hooping as they'd get from boot-camp classes, step aerobics and cardio kickboxing", and that the activity burns upwards of 400 calories per hour.
So, with my hoop set up, and the DVD playing on my laptop, I stood in the living room and tried very hard not to feel like a performing seal as I whipped the hoop around me, "passed" it behind my back, and attempted to "corkscrew" the hoop from above my head to my waist. You can imagine my surprise, as someone who usually thinks "Well, that ought to do it" after three-and-a-half minutes on the treadmill, when I looked at the clock and found I'd been hooping for an hour.
Since then I've become a card-carrying hooping nut: my hips and knees no longer bruise, and I bought some nifty bright pink gloves (they're very Desperately Seeking Susan) to increase my grip on the hoop in above-the-head moves.
I hoop for at least 45 minutes every day. It's quite a change for someone who once went to the gym twice in the one year (while paying membership every other 363 days as well).
Plus, as the ACE sagely noted at the end of their study, "hooping is fun", which is a lot more than you can say for slogging it out on the treadmill, hoping your tights won't fall down.

Two More Children Nearly Abducted in Chandler. Time to Freak Out
Hey, Chandler parents, it's time to freak out...
Yesterday morning, a kid was nearly abducted in Chandler -- and two others were nearly scooped up by a couple of creeps last night, which has caused the Chandler Police Department to increase neighborhood patrols.
Chandler Detective Seth Tyler says it's unclear if the two incidents involved the same suspect. However, the two near-abductions are remarkably similar.
The first happened about 8:00 a.m. when a 13-year-old girl was walking to school on Hartford Street just south of Shannon Street in Chandler, where a man got out of his vehicle and approached her.

The girl told police the suspect grabbed her by the hair and tried to drag her back to his car. Fortunately, she was able to free herself and run home.
The suspect in that case is described as a Hispanic male in his 20s. He's about 5-foot-9, 150 pounds, with short dark hair and a light mustache or goatee. He was last seen wearing a short sleeve black shirt, black pants and black work boots.
The suspect was seen fleeing the scene in an older model brown sedan with tinted windows.
The second near-abduction happened about 13 hours later, about 9:20 p.m., when a 14-year-old was walking home from a church event with his 11-year-old sister.
The two kids were near Dobson Road and Galveston Drive when they when a car approached them with its lights off. The car: you guessed it, a brown-ish sedan with tinted windows.
When the car approached the kids, a man -- described as a tall, thin Hispanic man in his 20s -- got out of the passenger side, at which point the kids took off running. The driver of the vehicle is described as a Hispanic man in his 20s with a mustache.
Tyler says the two incidents have caused the Chandler Police Department to step up neighborhood patrols.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Chandler Police Department at 480-782-4130.

You can't keep a classic character down. Much like Dracula and Beauty and the Beast, there's a lot of heat around Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Of course, there's the pair of films starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as well as the BBC series Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, but CBS has its own version called Elementary set in present-day New York City.
Deadline reports the network has signed former Eli Stone star Jonny Lee Miller to play Holmes in the pilot, written by Robert Doherty and directed by Michael Cuesta (Dexter, Homeland).
If anything, the more American Elementary is, the less it should be seen as a copycat of the very British Sherlock and more as another different adaptation of Doyle's creation.
Totally commented on this already…but…He was great in Eli Stone, and I believe he will be a fantastic fit for Mr. Holmes.
do. not. want.
