Proximity to the slopes.
Location and decore were beautiful, really liked the balcony on our room.
Wished this hotel had better access to food on site.
The hotel was very nice and cozy. Room was spacious (once we got in the correct one). And location was ideal.
The check in staff seemed confused about our room. After the 3rd try we finally got in the Junior Suite room we had reserved. There was a "welcome bag" on the bed with water, sunscreen, pain reliever, chips and an inexpensive mp3 player. We often get these at various resorts so we thought it was a nice touch. Turns out the bag was meant for a wedding party but there was no name tag on the bag or any indication it was for a wedding.
Upon checkout, my husband, 13 year old son, and myself were independently grilled about what happened to the bag and the contents of it. I even received a vm from a staff member. I consider this extremely unprofessional as this was a hotel error by not having their room assignments correct.
On another note, the shuttle driver was very nice, pleasant and helpful.
Bien situé
This extraordinary boutique hotel was a perfect mix of elegance, attention to detail, and outstanding customer service! Everyone from the valet to the front desk exceeded our expectations, and made us feel like we belonged here. Absolutely cannot say enough good things about this hotel and the staff.
Having to leave at the end of our stay...
Great staff, location, spa facilities
Got a great deal last minute
Resort fee is annoying - just include it upfront
Room felt a little dated - bed surprising uncomfortable (too soft) for a 4-star hotel. I had 120 hotel nights in 2015, and this was less comfortable than any of them
Still four stars because everything else was good
Great facilities
Staff needs a bit of training. Service was only so so.
Beauté et confort des chambres
Pas de pt déjeuner et restaurants fermés
Location was the best!
The hot tub isn't open in the winter...which is the only time when you would want it.
location was great and rooms were clean
noise from bar went until 130AM on Saturday night. Rooms were cramped
Room was clean. Front desk taff excellent.
Not enough parking. Construction noise.
Heather at the front desk was very nice and flexible. She helped us with all of our needs and was super friendly.
I couldn't be happier with my stay at the Victorian Inn. The staff is super friendly and made special accommodations for checking out. The room was immaculate and clean. The Inn is right next to downtown and the gondola making everything super convenient.
The only issue was that I didn't stay longer.

Maryland Adopts International Green Construction Code | Facility Executive - Creating Intelligent Buildings
Maryland's adoption of the IGCC, effective in March 2012, will apply to all commercial buildings as well as residential properties more than three stories high.
Maryland Adopts International Green Construction Code
On Tuesday, May 10, 2011, the International Code Council announced that Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley signed into law legislation passed by the state's General Assembly adopting the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) as an optional requirement for new construction. Maryland's adoption of the IGCC, effective in March 2012, will apply to all commercial buildings as well as residential properties more than three stories high. The IGCC is a tool designed for jurisdictions to adopt into laws reducing the environmental impact of construction projects while keeping construction safety measures intact and enforceable.
"We applaud Maryland's leadership in adopting an adaptable, affordable, and enforceable code that will set the standard for safe and sustainable buildings throughout the state," ICC CEO Richard P. Weiland said.
The Building Codes—International Green Construction Code Act (HB 972)—which was passed by the Maryland General Assembly and enacted into law by Governor O'Malley authorizes the state's Department of Housing and Community Development to adopt the IGCC, while allowing local jurisdictions to make amendments to the IGCC under certain conditions as long as the local amendment is adopted in accordance with applicable local law.
"Adopting green building codes and standards is a prudent way for Maryland's jurisdictions to demonstrate their commitment to a more sustainable and safe future," said Delegate Dana Stein, the legislation's sponsor. "The International Green Construction Code is coordinated with several related I-Codes used for construction throughout the state."
Recent IGCC adoptions also include: an optional code in Richland, WA; an alternative requirement for new public buildings in Rhode Island; and the nation's first tribal community enactment in Kayenta Township, AZ, with an optional requirement with mandatory applications still under consideration. Fort Collins, CO, approved significant extractions from the IGCC and the National Green Building Standard, ICC 700, as part of green building code amendments to the city's building codes.
The IGCC is an "Allowable Green Building System" in Keene, NH's, Sustainable Energy Efficient Development zone, a voluntary urban incentive-based area that promotes green building and redevelopment in its downtown. Fort Collins, Kayenta, and Keene are the first jurisdictions in their states to adopt the IGCC. The Code Council expects several more state and local adoptions of the IGCC within the next few months.
The IGCC was established by the International Code Council to improve the long-term performance and safety of commercial and high-rise residential buildings. The code's cooperating sponsors are the American Institute of Architects (AIA), ASTM International, the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).
The International Code Council, a membership association dedicated to building safety, fire prevention and energy efficiency, develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. The International Codes also serve as the basis for construction of federal properties around the world, and as a reference for many nations outside the United States.

This is the most significant environmental legislation adopted in Maryland this year. The IGCC is at the confluence of pro business and pro environment. It is what is best about the modern environmental movement and will quickly be adopted across the country.
On behalf of the ICC, thank you for writing about such an important topic. As Stuart stated, the IGCC is meant to support the construction industry and promote healthier communities around the country.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA�s Terra satellite captured this image showing large bush fires burning in southwestern Victoria on February 18, 2013. Red outlines indicate hot spots where MODIS detected unusually warm surface temperatures associated with fires. Winds blew a long plume of smoke south toward the Bass Strait.
About 300 firefighters using dozens of vehicles and 14 aircraft were battling the fires, which were burning near Grampians National Park. Lightning ignited a number of fires about a week ago; two of them merged to create the large fire shown here. Authorities estimated that it had burned about 6,000 hectares (15,000 acres) by Feb. 19.

This company is so hard to deal with. It is physically impossible to get to someone that has answers on the first call. Each person gives you a different answer. If your receptionist is there just to answer phones and not give you account information then maybe she shouldnt be giving you account information. They don't report anything to your credit whatsoever. Which is the idea behind having to go with them.

I have very bad credit and they financed me to get me into a very nice automobile. They have always been pleasant and polite and even worked with me when I couldn't make a payment on time. If you have questions they have a email address on their website and will usually return your call the next day. I have been with them for a year now and have nothing bad to say about them.

If the staff is on the phone with another client, the client on the phone is directed to voicemail. All staff return voicemails within 24 hours as is standard business protocol.
The receptionist's job is simply to transfer calls. They do not know any specifics on accounts and do not assist client regarding their accounts. The receptionist is trained to transfer calls and not answer questions regarding the account.
At this time, the company only reports to Equifax under the business name of HLS of Nevada DBA Nevada West Financial. The company is working to be on all three major bureaus.

Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
Join us for a little pre-preseason debachuary tonight and a final farewell to Kid K in parachat. Plus the Oscars are tonight, so we can pull double duty talking about the red carpet (ZOMG, did you see what Kate Winselt was wearing?)
You have three viewing options, either you own the Chicago Cubs DVD set, Itunes for $2(search for Kerry Wood or a series called Baseball's Best) or Mlb.com(It's the Houston broadcast and you have to register and possibly been a past owner of MLB.tv). Game time is 9pm CST. With no commercials it shouldn't run more than two hours I believe and Transmission should be doing a parachat recap for tomorrow. Maybe this time we can get Kevin Orie to make the play.
Some quick notes from Mesa after the jump...
- Lou is going to ease Carlos Zambrano into their Cactus League rotation.
''There's no reason,'' he said. ''There's just no hurry.''
I'm not suppose to be worrying about his shoulder, right?
- Marmol still hasn't decided offically about the WBC, but sounds like he wants to skip it. Out of the major leaguers, it'll just be Geovany Soto, Ted Lilly and Kosuke Fukduome missing camp. Speaking of, Fukkadome hit a grand slam yesterday in an exhibition game for Team Japan.
- Jeff Samardzija will start the Cactus League opener on Wednsesday versus the Dodgers.
Hope to see some of you tonight in parachat.
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
I'm not sure if anybody has mentioned it or not, but MLB Network's "30 Teams in 30 Days" series will cover the Cubs on March 10th.
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
Yeah, I'm on the recap....

Won't be there, alas, as I have an early morning over here in GMT+1, but for the record, and to get things started,

You know, I don't post much here but I read a lot of you guyses comments and I am amazed at the intelligence and humor here, but, and I'm sorry to say this, you're all a bunch of morans (spelled like how Cardinal fans spell it). I mean, shit, dudes, let it go. Oh boy, here come the flames. Hey, it's Sunday, and this place needs a little controversy. So, I say again, let it go. Spend some time with the fucking kids or something. Sheesh.

Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
Sorry. My irony radar is not internet compatible.
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
Well, on a more serious note, even though I won't be able to watch tonight, it's good info -- I didn't know the game is available via itunes, so thanks for that. And for those of you who actually took me seriously (a distinct minority, I'm sure)? Relax.
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
How old are you and you spend your time hanging around on a message board with guys mostly in their 20s and 30s?
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
That's a damn good point. I suppose it's cuz I wanna know why they're always asking us old guys for money.

also, i'd have to go make some kids before i spent time with them and i definitely would pass up a recap of a 10 year old game for that.

Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
Also, I just like to make fun of your spelling because there's somebody else I can kinda relate to. We all know I type like a special needs child.
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
c.) Cardenal Richelieu
everyone watching that show knew that he played the OF for the Cubs from 72-77
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
So, what happens in this game and why are we gathering to watch it? Kerry Woods earns $20,000 dollars? I thought he was paid much more then that...
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
How long do you think this internet thing is going to last? Anyone else preparing the Y2K? I've started building a bunker in my backyard.
Re: Kerry 20K Viewing Party Tonight
How does the sync-up work? Should I just hit play right at 9 CST, or is there a parachat-based starting pistol?

so...what's chan-yong lim up to these days?
yes, those hamilton WAR numbers are very reasonable. i'm on your side now based on that biting commentary and reasoning of why he's a 3.5-ish WAR player over a 600 PA season.
those numbers are obviously well deserved and worthy of no scrutiny...none at all. no issue.
CF D is rarer than a jon lester pickoff at 2nd...totally irreplaceable...no way in hell there's good D, low/no-hitting CF's in anyone's system that could do what hamilton is doing. guys like this don't exist...you get like, 2-3 at any given time in history.
Please do not discuss War here. I think the Cub Reporter should be politics free.
But yes, whether you support War or Peace...Mike Trout is ridiculously consistent and good.
"According to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi, Tim Tebow's baseball workout Tuesday in Los Angeles will be attended by scouts from "roughly half" of the 30 major league teams."
"One scout told ESPN.com last week that Tebow's swing is so long it might "take out the front row." That's not a good thing."
MyrtleBeachPelicans [email protected]
The #MBpelicans and @Cubs have extended their PDC through 2020!
Carolina League getting 2 new teams too.
CF WAR is ridiculous...billy hamilton is pulling a 3.0 WAR somehow...and managed a 2.0 WAR last year (even though he missed a month of the season)...and a 3.7 WAR in 2014.
yeah, a lot depends on how one is doing relative to others at a given position, but WAR is common used (right or wrong) as a blanket comparing all kinds of players.
trout's one of the best, and at this point should probably win over donaldson (and should have more MVPs in the past, too), but the defensive aspect of valuing WAR still needs more tweaking...imo.
Mike Trout is ridiculous
Don't know if Cubs will recover from "spanking" Gordo
2nd in defensive WAR, NL.
6th in NL in RBI
Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.

Brussels (AFP) - An explosion at a criminology institute in Brussels early Monday has caused major damage but no casualties, prosecutors and the fire service said.
Oil prices fell about 1 percent on Monday as Iraq's production rose and as Iran said it would only cooperate in producer talks to freeze output if fellow exporters recognized its right to fully regain market share. International Brent crude oil futures were trading at $49.32 per barrel at 0558 GMT, down 60 cents, or 1.2 percent, from their previous close.

Guerrero: God Put Me Here To Humble Floyd Mayweather!
NEW YORK – It's been a couple of hectic but satisfying and productive days for Robert Guerrero, who along with his wife, Casey, appeared on "The 700 Club" with Pat Robertson and Terry Meeuwsen on Monday in Virginia Beach, Va., met Robin Roberts on the set of "Good Morning America" in New York City on Tuesday and then later in the morning were joined by Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports®, Stephen Espinoza for an "invite-only" media brunch at Vanderbilt Suites in The MetLife Building in Midtown Manhattan.
During Tuesday's brunch, which was emceed by Golden Boy Promotions Chief Operating Officer, David Itskowitch, Guerrero, who turns 30 on Wednesday, was presented with a birthday cake.
Guerrero, a Six-Time and Four-Division World Champion, will challenge undefeated Eight-Time and Five-Division World Champion Floyd Mayweather for the WBC Welterweight World Championship on Saturday, May 4, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. The event, which will be produced and distributed live by SHOWTIME PPV®, starts at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
Below is what Guerrero, Espinoza and Itskowitch said Tuesday.
"I want to thank everyone involved, Golden Boy and SHOWTME especially. I'm excited for this fight. Man, I just can't wait to get out there and fight Floyd Mayweather. I plan to shock the world.
"It's funny because I've been talking to the media and telling them that I'm going to beat Floyd. Now, it's time to get out there and do it. I'm ready. A lot of people think I'm crazy, but I think you're crazy for thinking that I'm crazy. Just look at my wife. She asked the Lord to heal her and He did.
"When you believe, amazing things happen. I'm telling you all now that I am going to beat him. I believe God does things for a reason. I believe he put me here to humble Floyd Mayweather, and it is going to happen.''
"We wanted to put this breakfast together partially to promote the fight, but anybody who knows anything about boxing knows that this is going to be a tough, tough fight. Anybody who says Mayweather is too fast, too strong and too good for Robert, well, they were saying that before Robert's fight with (Andre) Berto too.
"We wanted to make sure the East Coast knew about Robert. Knew how classy he is and how wonderful he is as an individual. It will be an incredible event on May 4. Dave (Itskowitch) said this will be the toughest fight of Robert's career. I think at the end of it, this will also be the toughest fight of Mayweather's career.''
"Robert Guerrero is an amazing fighter in the ring, but he is probably a more amazing person out of the ring. I know his story has been told a lot, but I don't think it has been told enough.
"The first fight we worked with him was in 2007. We got a call the day before the fight's final press conference with the horrifying news about Casey. I couldn't believe when he walked into the room that he was going to fight a few days later. The fight happened. He blitzed Martin Honorio in less than a minute. I guess he wanted to get back home to Casey.
"When Casey's condition got worse, he had a decision to make. He had to give up his title to take care of her. A lot of people questioned his decision, but it was the right thing to do. He's now sitting in front of us facing the biggest fight of his career.''
"MAY DAY: "Mayweather vs. Guerrero," a 12-round fight for Mayweather's WBC Welterweight World Championship, is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Corona, O'Reilly Auto Parts, AT&T and Star Trek Into Darkness. Also featured will be Daniel Ponce de Leon vs. Abner Mares, a 12-round fight for Ponce de Leon's WBC Featherweight World Championship.

3 Huge Problems With Student Loans and How to Fix Them
Student loan debt is often the bane of a young professional's existence. An extremely competitive job market and an ailing economy make graduate and post-graduate degrees necessities but the debt we incur while getting our educations puts us in the financial hole for years after our diplomas are framed and caps and gowns are buried in storage.
In light of this looming crisis of highly-educated but delinquent debtors, TheLoop21has identified three of the biggest problems with the student loan system and offers solutions to them:
1 – No longer is the interest on Stafford loans (for graduate students) subsidized by the government while the student is in school.
So not only will graduate students be getting deeper into debt, they'll be doing it with even less assistance from the federal government.
A fix would be to subsidize loan interests until the graduate starts working. This would be far too cost prohibitive to do for all graduates into perpetuity. Instead, it should be done when the general unemployment rate is above a certain level — say 8%. This would not only give students more confidence in pursuing their programs of choice, it'll also increase their range of job positions because they'll be able to accept less pay, relatively speaking. In a USA Today poll, "22% [of college graduates] say they've taken a job they otherwise wouldn't have because they needed more money to pay off student-loan debt."
A similar plan is already in place. The Income-Based Repayment Plan caps payments and is based on 15% of the difference between your [adjusted gross income] and 150% of the Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guideline for your family size and state. For instance, a person with an annual income of $50,000 could cap their monthly payments at $421, far less than would be the case with another repayment option. So, if Congress believes we can afford this, then why not a plan that does even more to stem interest costs in the event that the economy is particularly bad?
Check out the rest of the problems with student loans and their fixes here.

'Bombastic' Ballmer's Move No Surprise in Silicon Valley
Steve Ballmer's decisive shift from software to basketball may have surprised some people. But not those who worked closely with him–or against him–over the years.
The former Microsoft CEO's decision to step down from the company's board came a day after a frenetic appearance at a rally for the Clippers. Shouting in a hoarse voice, Ballmer described his love of basketball, the team he just bought for $2 billion and the city of Los Angeles–even though Ballmer has lived for decades in the Seattle suburbs.
Ballmer implored fans Monday to whoop and cheer, and he yelled his support for how "hardcore" the Clippers players were. The team's coach and several players broke into laughter at Ballmer's antics, including his promise not to move the team to the city up north.
His appearance immediately provoked comparisons with the famous "Monkey Boy" speech in 2000, in which Ballmer exhorted Microsoft employees to chant "developers, developers, developers."
That focus and intensity may be Ballmer's most lasting imprint on the tech sector, after inheriting a company whose technical legacy was largely shaped by co-founder Bill Gates.
"Bold, bombastic Ballmer," summed up Patrick Gelsinger, who now heads Microsoft rival VMWare and had many interactions with Ballmer as an executive at chip maker Intel. "He was aggressive. He was loud. He was out there."
He recalls intense meetings with Gates, Ballmer and former Intel CEO Andy Grove, in the days when the chip giant and the software kingpin set the agenda for the personal computer business.
More recently, Gelsinger recalls sitting at breakfast with a seemingly calm Ballmer when an unspecified topic provoked him. "All of a sudden he is yelling across the table," Gelsinger said. "That was Steve. He was just all in."
Gelsinger adds that Ballmer had a very soft side when it came to Microsoft. "For better or worse, for all his good decisions and his bad decisions, he loved the company," he said.

Depression: Dealing With Medicine Side Effects
Side effects are a common problem for people who take antidepressants. If you are bothered by side effects, reading this information can help you learn more about how to cope with them.
- Most side effects are temporary and will go away after you take the medicine for a few weeks.
- Some side effects may not go away, but usually there are ways you can learn to manage these problems.
- If the side effects bother you, your doctor may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine.
- Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine. That could cause withdrawal symptoms or a return of your depression.
- Be aware of possible serious side effects of antidepressants, such as chest pain or a serious allergic reaction, and call your doctor right away if you notice any.

Cotto: Pacquiao is Just as Strong as Mosley, Faster
By Rick Reeno
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto sat down with BoxingScene.com to discuss Saturday's welterweight clash between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley. Cotto has been in the ring with both boxers; winning a twelve round decision over Mosley in 2007 and losing to Pacquiao in 2009 by way of a twelfth round stoppage. Cotto is sitting ringside with an obvious interest in facing the winner at some point in the next twelve months.
"In strength, they are the same. Pacquiao is just as strong as Mosley. They are both fast. Pacquiao is a little faster. The thing that will give Mosley the most problems is Pacquiao's movement. When I fought Mosley I started as the puncher but ended the fight as the boxer. With Pacquiao, he was better that night, but we did very well against him in the first few rounds. That night Pacquiao was faster and stronger," Cotto said to BoxingScene.com.

Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop… (2003)
by David Kushner
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I love a good success story, and that's what this book is about. Also, I grew up during the time period involved, and my first few jobs out of college involved working as an artist and animator on the games that followed in their wake. I really enjoyed the behind-the-scenes stories of how John Carmack pioneered the tech I use daily in my career.
A fun, fast paced, hard-to-put-down read that does a great job of telling the story of John Carmack, John Romero, and the groundbreaking games they created (Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake). By the time I was done, I had a massive desire to a) play games, b) play old school games like quake, and c) spend all night coding and eating pizza.
My favorite quote from the book:
Video games don't let people really live their dreams. They let gamers live a developer's simulation of a dream. The action is digital. It's confined to a computer or television or a handheld device. Players experience it thought their eyes, ears, and fingertips. But when they're done careening down the Daytona Speedway or storming an interstellar military base, they feel as if they've really been somewhere, as if they've momentarily transcended their sac of fat and bones, their office politics, their mounting bills. Games let them escape, learn, recharge. Games are necessary.
Like many thousands of others in the early 90s, I grew up playing games such as Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. 100s of hours invested and even today I can easily boot up Doom and play for hours. This book brought to life what happened behind the scenes and the mentality of the people that were crucial to video games of this era. I really enjoyed the book and having grown up hearing about the contrasting personalities of the 2 John's I was eager to read about this in the book. Very glad I read this book and would recommend to others who also lived and breathed Doom and the other video games of the early 90s.
This audio took at hard look at the inside of a growing company, and the people who lead it. It portrayed them warts and all. Interesting to watch the outcome of how they followed their vision. Sometimes a vision is not enough.
"Doom" and some of the events mentioned in the book are part of my high-school memories. It was specially interesting to read about all those urban legends in the pre-internet times, the truth behind and how all that marked a milestone in the games (and computers) industry.
The book mixes very well the personal lifes of Romero and Carmack with the overall gaming scene of their times and the key business decisions they needed to take. Interesting and informative, I dust off an old copy of "Doom" after finishing...

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0812972155, Paperback)Doom, the video game in which you navigate a dungeon in the first person and messily lay waste to everything that crosses your path, represented a milestone in many areas. It was a technical landmark, in that its graphics engine delivered brilliant performance on ordinary PC hardware. It was a social phenomenon, with individuals and companies hooking up networks specifically for Doom tournaments and staying up for days to blast away on them (well before the Internet went big-time). The game's publisher, id Software, used an unusual shareware marketing strategy (give away the first levels, charge for the more advanced ones) that worked very well. On top of it all, the gore-filled game raised serious questions about decency in products meant for use by school-age kids. Masters of Doom explores the Doom phenomenon, as well as the lives and personalities of the two men behind it: John Carmack and John Romero.
This book manages, for the most part, to keep clear of the breathless techno-hagiography style that characterizes many books with similar subjects. He tells the story of Carmack, Romero, and id--which includes far more than Doom and its successors--in novel style, and he's done a good job of keeping the action flowing and the characters' motivations clear. Some of the quoted passages of dialog sound like idealized reconstructions that probably never came from the lips of real people, but this is an entertaining and informative book, of interest to anyone who's let rip with a nail gun. --David Wall
Topics covered: The biographies of John Carmack and John Romero, and of their company, id Software. The development and marketing of all major id games (including Wolfenstein, Doom, Doom II, and Quake) get lavish attention.

Tells the rags to riches story of John Carmack and John Romero, creators of the Doom and Quake video games, describing the development of the game programs, and discussing the controversy that arose over the popularity of the violent game action.

Acquired: Traded to Detroit by Montreal to complete a (9/11/45) transaction that sent Billy Reay to Montreal on October 18, 1945.
Born in Chicoutimi, Quebec, Gauthier played with the Shawinigan Cataracts in the QPHL and QSHL before joining the AHL's Washington Lions in 1941-42. After spending the entire 1942-43 schedule in the minors, the young forward was loaned to the New York Rangers by the Montreal Canadiens. He scored 14 goals as a rookie and worked well on a line with John Mahaffey and Ossie Aubuchon but was returned to Montreal after the season.
During the 1944-45 season Gauthier scored a personal best 18 goals while teaming with linemates Buddy O'Connor and Dutch Hiller. In October, 1945, he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings where he spent the last four years of his career. Gauthier was a consistent role player for the Motowners and helped them reach the Stanley Cup final in 1948. Following his NHL days he played briefly in the NHL before returning to senior hockey. Gauthier retired in 1952 after starring offensively for the St. Laurent Castors.

after his full time job for extra money. At first it was interesting. I was given a set price per each individual inspection. This varied from what type of inspection and what county, fair enough so I signed my contract. The first check took 2 months to get! I had to call and fuss every payday about them slowly taking money away from each inspection. I mean really? I was not pressured too much but was asked why didnt I work Saturday? I thought I was free to make my schedule?
After 3 months I received an email from Paul Bishop cutting the price per inspection down to, I one case, from $10 per to $6 per. Most per $4.50 in my case and they tried to knock it down to $4.25. I fought tooth and nail for .25 cents every
payday. It was doable at first but after about 4 months I was given so many inspections in an area that was so vast it was impossible to do these. Case in point: Had 30 inspections close by I could have done but was phoned by Paul
Bishop and was told that if I didnt do the 5 or so inspections that were an hour and a half away, one way, he was going to take $100 per inspection out of my already meager check! This was an area of Mississippi that was very dangerous. I had a gun pulled on me, my tires were baited, had some guys throw something at my vehicle that dented it, was chased and followed for over an hour by some black guys in an SUV. They followed me to 3 inspections and waited until I left the city before they broke off the surveillance.
This is also a reason I didnt want to do these inspections. My safety is NOT work $4.25. It took me almost $40 to get there and back. It got to a point that I was being called every day from Hunt asking when inspections were going to be
completed? I was told that I had that kind of flexibility!!! Oh no, what a lie. In one month I did over 400 inspections and was paid for maybe 50. These people are a true rip-off. You are vested with YOUR money and time. You have zero flexibility and they have you trapped because of this. My last pay spread sheet for 2 weeks of work reads:
206 Completed Inspections, roughly $1000 dollars give or take. Heres the kicker, 183 late inspections which equals you wont get paid for these. I now get $103. Back charge for inspections that were turned to another inspector is $110.00. I OWE THEM $6.50!!! Please dont waste your time. This company is owned by crooks that say one thing and give another. If you want to pay a company to allow you to blow endless amounts of cash in gas and wear and tear on your vehicle then these idiots are right for you. Read the other write up. What comes around goes around. I hope that Karma thing knocks these crooks out of business.

The Real Poop
You love this job, you love it not..you love this job, you love it not...
Are you a fan of flowers? Think it would be fun to grow them professionally as a floriculturist? Unfortunately, liking flowers and growing acres and acres of them for the cut flower industry are two different things. Growing them as a commercial commodity can give those who've always liked flowers reasons not to like them.
Sure, most flowers are really excellent to work with when everything goes right, but they're still an agricultural commodity, like vegetables or fruit or grain, and growing them involves many of the same frustrations and just as much hard work. Plus, the pay is on the low side: around $33,000 per year (source) for the average laborer, and $45,000 per year (source) for managers.
We won't knock the work environment though; you couldn't ask for a more attractive physical environment in which to work, and if you're friendly to the flowers, you might make some real good buds.
Growing cut flowers is more intensive than growing other agricultural commodities. First of all, most cut flower growing operations grow several different types of cut flowers, both for security and to keep clients happy.
Multiple crops ensure that at least some of them will be successful even if one or more of the others fails. The variety of crops also helps the clients who would otherwise need to shop around with various growers to get all the different flowers that they need.
Variety comes with its own problems, though; many different crops means many varying requirements. Growing a few acres of Peruvian lilies, even fewer acres of gladiolus, and even fewer acres of baby's breath is nothing like growing a few hundred acres of artichokes. (Side note: if you one day have a baby and are concerned about her breath, don't feed her artichokes.)
Unlike vegetables, flowers need to be perfect—no pressure. They're grown for their color, their texture, their graceful swaying in a light wind...for their good looks, basically. Blemishes aren't allowed. There may be a few sweethearts out there who might want to take in and care for a tulip with broken petals, but not enough to make salvaging them worthwhile, unfortunately.
As a further downside, less-than-perfect flowers can't be made into flower "products." You can't break them down into parts and sell them for scrap. There's no such thing as canned flowers, flower sauce, flower soup, or powdered flowers. It just doesn't work. We tried—it was a regrettable experiment.
This requirement of perfection only adds to the intensity of the work. Besides working long hours in all kinds of weather, floriculturists need to be aware of how environmental conditions can damage their crops.
Some flowers may not like the heat of summer in particular locations. Others that grow through winter can't take the frost. In other words, they're more sensitive to temperature than your grandparents when the thermostat is on the fritz.
Floriculture's a bit more lucrative than other horticultural industries, but not by much. Why do so many people not only grow flowers, but actually seem to enjoy doing it?
The work can, at times, be just as stressful as many other types of work, but there's plenty of outdoor activity to help alleviate stress. Some of the clientele are demanding and crazy, but others can be fun to work with. It's not a bad little career if you don't mind never being able to afford a second house. But who needs all that extra space, anyway?
To an outsider, floriculture may not seem like much fun, so don't expect your friends to understand. There aren't many different types of jobs within the industry to choose from, and most of those involve basic labor. The allure is impossible to explain to those who aren't already interested in it. Either you have flower power or you don't.
Most of the people involved with floriculture are the laborers in the production crews. They do all the real work growing cut flower crops, including harvesting, processing, and eventually packing for delivery to wholesale clients. Sales representatives market the produce to brokers, wholesalers, and some of the floral design studios that want to buy directly from the growers.
The two main types of management are "production" managers and "operations" managers—though production managers tend to manage everything, including operations, for most cut flower growers. Many managers are also owners.
Humongous, megacorporate, big box factory-type growers are not as common in the cut flower industry as they are in the wholesale nursery industry (that grow nursery stock).
Floriculture is one of those idyllic industries in which the inferior quality of factory growers cannot compete. Growers of quality crops really prevail here. There hasn't yet been an assembly line that can turn out row after row of perfect sunflowers. We're sure someone is working on that somewhere, though.
On the other hand, there's considerable competition from South American growers that import (or export, depending on where you are when you're reading this) produce that's probably better than factory-grown, but still inferior to locally-grown. It's actually amazing that there's still a market for such produce. Yet it's still out there, crowding the wholesale markets and keeping prices lower than they really should be.
Imagine if other markets were flooded with cheap, inferior products. Thank goodness we don't live in such a horrible dystopia, and that this epidemic of inferiority is contained to the floriculture industry. There's nothing easy about floriculture, yet there are many advantages to it that appeal to those who choose to make a career of it. If interested, feel free to sniff around.

Probation revoked for Lansing man convicted of sexual exploitation of a child
Lansing resident Jesse Lee Thomas, 24, was sentenced to prison for 32 months Wednesday by Leavenworth County District Court Judge Gunnar Sundby, for violating his probation, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced Wednesday.
Thomas pled guilty to two counts of sexual exploitation of a child on July 7, 2010, and was sentenced to 36 months probation with Community Corrections with an underlying sentence of 32 months prison on Aug. 17, 2010. At a probation violation hearing Wednesday, Thomas' probation was revoked, and he was sentenced to serve his original sentence of 32 months in prison, plus 24 months post-release supervision. The case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Amy Hanley from Schmidt's office.

Dallas man flees after traffic stop, leaving 11-month-old in back seat of stolen car
A Dallas man abandoned an 11-month old boy in the back of a Buick after officers pulled him over last month for driving an unregistered car, police said.
Around 9:15 p.m. Aug. 16, a Dallas police officer stopped the man in the 9700 block of Royal Lane after his car came up as unregistered. The driver pulled into a Lake Highlands apartment complex, got out of his car and fled. The officer chased the man on foot, but he got away.
When the officer returned to search the Buick, he found a baby in the back seat. Dallas police said the officer pulled the baby from the car and played with him until he was given to Child Protective Service. The baby was later released to family members.
Police are still looking for the suspect and said they believe he was driving a stolen car.

The thirteenth installment of the popular JRPG franchise.
Part of the "ten year project" Fabula nova crystallis, which is latin for "the new tale of the crystal".It consists of the three games
Final Fantasy XIII , Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII which take place in the same universe but are not connected otherwise.
The main game, Final Fantasy XIII, takes place in the world of Cocoon that floats in the atmosphere of the planet Pulse. Cocoon was created by the Fal'Cie, some kind of gods, as a paradise for the humans that lived in the dangerous Pulse 13 centuries ago.
The main characters of this game were chosen to be l'Cie, servants of the fal'Cie, much to their dismay, and now have to complete their Focus, tasks given to them by the fal'Cie. If they can't complete them in time or die, they will become soulless monsters called Cie Corpse. However if they do complete it they become crystals and will be granted eternal life, but to a human it is the same as dying since they won't be able to do anything anymore. Because the government of Cocoon found a fal'Cie of Pulse in an old ruin, they exiled every person in the surrounding city to Pulse.This was called the Purge and here the game begins.
The (playable) main characters are:
Lightning - A young woman who was part of the military but had to leave because her little sister Serah became a Pulse l'Cie and eventually she became one, too. She now fights against the fal'Cie, because she doesn't want to be a tool for them.
Her weapon is a gun that can transform into a sword.
Snow Villiers - Serah's fiancé and leader of an resistance group called Nora. Lightning doesn't approve of his relationship with Serah because she thinks he is unreliable and thus doesn't like him. Snow also becomes a l'Cie and wants to save Serah.
His weapon is his coat, which powers his physical attacks.
Hope Estheim - Hope is a young boy who was part of the Purge and was saved by Nora. Because his mother died while fighting with them, he now hates Snow.
His weapon is a giant boomerang.
Sazh Katzroy - Sazh is a middle aged dark skinned man with an afro and has a baby chocobo living inside his hair. The chocobo was a gift to his six year old son Dajh. His son however was turned into a l'Cie by a Cocoon fal'Cie before the events of the game and the government now uses Dajh to find people associated with Pulse.
He wields two pistols which he can put together to form a rifle
Oerba Dia Vanille - Vanille is a mysterious girl who was also saved from the Purge by Snow. She has a very cheerful personality, but she supposedly has an unknown "dark resolve". Her tribal clothing suggests she comes from Pulse
Her weapon is a rod with several hooks similar to a fishing rod
Oerba Yun Fang - Fang has similiar clothing to Vanille and is a l'Cie working with the government of Cocoon. It is assumed that she is also from Pulse and she knows alot more about l'Cie than the rest of the party.
Her weapon is a double headed spear which can be seperated into a three section staff.
There are also summons in this game and they are called Eidolons this time. The Eidolons are related to the story and can only be summoned by a Crystal that is generated by a mark on the body of a l'Cie. Every Character has an unique Eidolon he or she has to beat before they can use them in battle. This time they have a "Gestalt mode". This means they can turn into another form for their summoners to ride or stand on. For example Lightnings Eidolon is Odin, who can turn into a horse for her to ride.
Here are some pictures of the Eidolons and their owners.
Lightning - Odin
Snow - Shiva
Hope - Alexander
Sazh - Brynhildr
Vanille - Hecatoncheir
Fang - Bahamut
This time the battle is an active time turn based battle and you can only control one character per battle.
In battle a bar(ATB gauge) will appear an screen and will fill up. Each command costs a section of the ATB gauge. For example normal attacks cost one section of the bar and powerful spells 3 sections. Because every command costs ATB points there are no MP's this time and Health is restored after every battle.
Another bonus is the "Break" bar. If you attack very often without being interrupted you will increase the "Break" percentage and if it is high enough you will "Break" the enemy. This means the Enemy will not attack as long as it is in the Break state and your attacks will do more damage. Most enemies can be hurled in the air by attacks while in the Break state.
Battle roles and Paradigms:
Every Character can be assigned a role before battle. Each role will have different attributes for example the role "Ravager - RAV (Blaster - BLA in Japanese)" will have higher attack and the "Sentinel - SEN (Defender - DEF)" will have higher defense.
There are six different roles:
Commander - COM (Attacker - ATK)
Ravager - RAV (Blaster - BLA)
Sentinel - SEN (Defender -DEF)
Medic - MED (Healer - HLR)
Synergist - SYN (Enhancer - ENH)
Saboteur - SAB (Jammer - JAM)
The Player can also change the roles of the party while in battle. This is called Paradigm Shift (Optima Change in Japanese).
Each Paradigm has a name, for example the paradigm Smart Bomb will change to roles of the party to RAV/RAV/SAB
The Ravagers will attack the enemy and the Saboteur will weaken the enemy with Spells
Here is a picture:
You can see the characters Lightning and Vanille on Screen and their life bars on the right bottom side. Sazh is in the background. You can also see the ATB gauge in the middle and the sign for paradigm shift above it. Below it are the commands for your character, in this case Lightning. On top right of the picture is the Break bar. It shows the current damage percentage and how much is needed to Break the enemy.
In this game there will be no experience points, but "Crystarium" points. If a battle is won, every character will gain Crystarium points, which will be used to increase stats and learn skills in the Crystarium System. The Crystarium system will work similarly to the Sphere Grid in FF X. This means the Crystarium System is like a tech tree where you can chose specific skills, which will unlock more powerful skills of the same kind. For example if you learn Fire, the spell Fira will be unlocked and so forth. Every role will have different skills and spells.
