TravelPod Member ReviewsTimhotel Gare Du Nord Paris
Well the hotel can only be described as average, if even that. The place looked clean enough but in no way would I say was really clean. However, I haven't stayed in any other French hotels to compaire it to but I have heard that they do not tend to be very clean.
All the staff who we spoke to were very friendly and we didn't have any major problems during our stay. The only thing I'd say that was lacking from this very basic hotel was tea, coffee and water in our room. As I said, we didn't really have any problems however, the shower did not reach the holder on the wall and therefore you had to hold it in your hand whilst showering. Not very practical.
I can't say I would recommend this hotel, but I also wouldn't say it was very bad. In the end, I didn't book or pay for the hotel, but was surprised it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be!! It gets 2 stars, not because it was bad, but because it wasn't good enough to be deserving of 3 stars!

Historical Traveler Reviews Timhotel Gare Du Nord Paris
Quite possibly the noisiest place on the face of this earth.
Alright, the hotel itself is not bad. I must admit i would have expected it to be much dirtier than it was. There was some mold on the bathroom ceiling, but thats nothing to worry about. Don't eat the breakfast, its 8.50 a person, which is an atrocious price for their average breakfast. The only problem, and it's a big one, is the noise. There is no AC at this hotel, but thats ok, since paris is a cool city and all you have to do is open a window at night to let the Air in. Unfourtunately, this hotel happens to be directly in front of Paris's largest train station, the Gare du Nord, hence the name. There is a train every minute, and most of them are old trains that screech and scream for very long periods of time as they are braking. If that isn't enough, the hotel is next door to both the fire department and the emergency hospital, where the sound of trains is complemented by ambulances and fire engines ALL NIGHT LONG. good luck.
Timhotel, first and last time!
We booked the Timhotel Gare du Nord through an internet travel agent as part of a short break to Paris. I think its described as "a typical late 19th century Parisian building". What they failed to mention was that the fixtures and fittings were of the same era.
The staff at the main desk were polite and curteous on check in and we didn't envisage any problems, until we got to our room. The room we were given was absolutely tiny, there was barely enough room to squeeze between the bed and the very small writing table at the bottom of it. The "en-suite" bathroom was not big enough to stand in and stretch both arms out and the tiles were cracked and stained.
The climax of this trip was when my wife was using a travel iron and went to place it on the top of the bathroom sink (this was where the one and only power socket was), the said sink then cracked into two pieces and fell onto the floor badly bruising her foot. On reporting this, the hotel duty manager tried to charge us 310 euros for the repair of the sink. I'm sure you can imagine what my reply was and rest assured, the 310 euros is still firmly in my wallet.
There are plenty of hotels in this area which are of a far higher standard for roughly the same price (Ibis etc). If we ever go back to Paris we will certainly not be gracing Timhotel group with our custom!
Worth the Money
We also were booked at this hotel as part of a Go-Today package. We were there for nine nights and were not disappointed (our last morning we were talking with a couple who had paid almost as much for their airfare to Paris as we paid for our entire vacation). Our room was standard for this level of hotel - we seldom upgrade our room since we don't spend much time there. Breakfast was very good. As others have mentioned this is not a 4 star hotel, however, as with most things you get what you pay for and this hotel is a good deal for the money.
Not bad, definitely not great
I was at the Timhotel in April. It is definitely a budget hotel. We arrived early, but were told we'd have to wait another 5 hours for our room. We were very tired from the long flight and you'd think that since they know many of their guests would be coming in early from North America that they would have some rooms ready earlier. We've been to places that do take that into account.
We dropped our luggage off downstairs in a locked room, but anybody who borrowed the key to drop off or pick up their luggage could rummage through everyone else's. Since we had time to kill, and were tired but had no room, and weren't in a particularly interesting or aesthetic area, we decided to do the breakfast. It lived up to the reviews. It was sustenance and not much more. They had one girl who was about the slowest person I ever saw. The 5 or so tables they had had dirty dishes and cups piled up all over them - some of the guests were even just moving them around to clear a space big enough for their own plates - surrounded by a multitude of previous diners' dishes and trash! There was virtually nothing to eat nor drink. This was a common occurrence throughout the week - the breads and beverages and clean dishes would run out and take an eternity to be restocked - and when she did she'd come out with 5 cups or a few croissants - to which the desperate guests would lunge and take before we had a chance.
On top of this - the desk clerk told us we had to pay for this breakfast - even though I explained to him that we were there for 6 nights, entitled to 6 breakfasts, and would be leaving too early the final day to catch our breakfast, therefore we took it now. Other places we've been to didn't care much about substituting one for the other - but this guy wouldn't budge. Luckily when we checked out the following week he was not at the desk, so we were not charged.
I went back to the desk after maybe 4 hours of waiting and that guy did get us a room - it stank! It actually smelled bad!! I thought it would clear out in a day or so - but it didn't. Finally after 3 days we complained and they moved us to another one. They said that room was always like that because it was on a sewer line! I guess that guy was a real ------- after all! The rooms are the smallest I have ever stayed in - and I've traveled fairly extensively - almost every state and 21 countries. The smallest...
The area is nothing to rave about, but the train station - as anyone can tell by walking out the front door - is very close, so that helps. We also frequented a small Indian/American/Mexican place on the main road down the block and right around the corner - just over the bridge. The owner was very nice to us, and the food was decent and cheap.
Another reviewer mentioned the 'Maison Blanche'. I read the review before I left but forgot the name -and was caught in their web. I will help you travelers NOT get caught. The reason it is appealing is because it is across the street from the train station (as with many other places to eat) and they have a little rotating menu in 4 languages - one of the few there that has english. Do yourself a favor - take a chance on one of the other places that only have the french menus displayed - it has to be better. The appetizers were actually good, but the entrees were terrible (I had duck that I thought would be fantastic, but food in a cafeteria would be better - and the food at the other place I mentioned earlier was better and cheaper!). Then the waiter lied to us as well about the tip not being part of the bill, even though I pointed it out to him, he just shrugged it off and lied to my face. Also, when we initially went in there, even though there were only one or two other tables occupied, they tried to seat us next to a pole, which made movement difficult. We asked for another table by the sidewalk. The only other people there were tourists like us - Germans in this case I think. So remember - AVOID the place with the rotating menu in 4 languages if you forget the name! It was $75 that could have better spent at the other place for several meals of better quality!!
We also recommend dining and walking near Notre Dame - in and near the Latin Quarter - that was our favorite area.
The Timhotel had a few nice features - utterly small balconies to look out from; a very small but actually charming courtyard (check it out); and from our room we had a beautiful view of Sacre Coeur lit up at night. The elevator is small - can only hold 4 people w/o luggage, or 2 people with it. They do seem to cater to school field trips - as there was an incessant stream of kids, and if you hit breakfast at the wrong time you'd either be waiting in line or going to a room that looked like locusts had just swarmed in! So, realize it is very budget, but we went to Paris for the other sights - not the hotel. Not the worst place, but it has seen better days, and most likely we'd spend the extra money and upgrade to a better and maybe closer to the center-of-the-city hotel.
Might have done better elsewhere
I stayed at Timhotel from May 4 - 10, 2004. We arrived at the hotel after the red eye flight from Washington DC at about 8AM and wee told that check in time is 3pm, leave the luggage in the downstairs luggage room and come back. No offer of coffee or anything. Had to carry th eluggage downstairs and back up at 3. I was given a room 3' across an elevator, asked for another room and was told no. The room was OK and was overlooking railroad tracks and Sacre de Cour, whichever way you look at at. The first couple of nights I had trouble sleeping due to the trains passing by. I would choose another hotel just for this.
The bathroom was lit by a single energy saving fluorescent lamp and I cut myself several days while trying to shave in semidarkness.
The hotel had breakfast buffet which was serviced by 1 person, in a 50+ room hotel. Every morning there was musical chairs for a table and after that at least half the edibles were gone. Only staples were bread and cheese. My BF consisted mostly of bread, cheese and coffee, but even the coffee machine was broken 1 morning. May be it was the hotel's fault in part. The hotel caters to group tours so busloads of young and hungry travelers ate dinner sized BF, maybe stocked their backpacks with bread and cheese for the day and left the BF room empty of food and tableware. But having just 1 person to refill and clean was the hotel's fault. I complained about this and there was no action. Only 1 out of 3 desk persons I met was friendly. So, if you go, bring your own cup and don't count on eating eggs or yogurt, etc. as the maid put out like 10 eggs or 10 yougurts among a crowd of 20-30 tourists. I have read many places that it is impossible to have a bad meal in Paris, but here is one place.
We liked this hotel
We were booked at this hotel as part of a package deal with Go-Today. After reading reviews in some Travel books, we were concerned about the area. One article called it "the Porno" section. All we saw were 2 sex shops, which we did not check out. (This hotel is in the 10th arrondissement.)We thought the hotel was great for the price we paid. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast, which is included in the price was above average compared to what we have experienced in other hotels. There was a choice of really nice pastries and French stick bread, cereal, fruit and 2 kinds of cheese. There were 2 kinds of fruit juice as well as tea and coffee. And on Monday morning, there were even eggs, hard boiled, which was fine with me.The previous reviewer mentioned something about friendly tramps looking in the windows. We were on the ground floor and we did not experience anyone trying to peer in at us.Our package did not include transfers and we had to get from Gare du Nord to the hotel ourselves with our luggage. Even with a map, we had difficulty and the first person we asked did not speak English. My long in the past high school French, was just enough to get us pointed in the right direction and then we found someone who could direct us. The problem is the streets. After almost every block they are given a new name and the blocks are triangular in shape. It is almost impossible to "go around the block". If you are in the 10th arrondissement, you MUST go to Brasserie Flo, 7 cour de Petits-Ecuries. But if you find 5 cour de Petits-Ecuries, don't assume the place next door is Brasserie Flo. We wondered if the name had changed and went in to ask. We were directed back to Fauberg St. Denis, and walked down it until we saw the sign. We had to turn into a dark alley and there it was! The dining experience there was worth it, if you want to try authentic Alsation food and wine.However our experience at "La Maison Blanche" near the hotel and across from Gare du Nord, at 21 rue de Dunkerque was a different story. The service charge was included in the price and the waiter told us it wasn't, so we added another 15%. Later when we looked closer at the bill, right at the bottom I saw "service 15% compris", which means it WAS included. We did not bother to go back and complain. A regular mug of beer was 7.40 Euros, which is about $12 Canadian. Look for some place else.I would definitely go back to this hotel. The low price allowed us to experience Paris for a few days, something we felt we could only dream about. We are planning to watch for another good deal on Travelzoo and go back again next year.Contrary to what we had also heard, we did not find the French people to be rude at all, but very willing to help.
Beautiful Hotel
An absolute belter! Scruffy Streets overlookin the hotel where an absolute gem. Loved the tramps looking thru the window at night were extremely friendly. PURELY BELTER!!

It was a crucial time of great transition for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Israelites fresh out of slavery and camping in a remote wilderness. So, Moses went to Mt. Sinai where he focused on God and fasted for forty days and forty nights. He came off of that mountain with words from God that established the law for Israel and the Ten Commandments that continue to influence the world to this day.
Jesus also faced a crucial time as he prepared to transition from the carpentry shop into his earthly ministry. He was led of the Spirit into the wilderness where He focused on God and fasted for forty days and forty nights. He came out of the wilderness under the care of angels and immediately launched a ministry that continues to change the world to this day.
Piedmont is at a crucial time of transition as we pursue a vision of expanded influence across the country and around the world. Our goal is to grow enrollment to 500 main campus students and 5,000 online and/or grad students from every state and nation. By God's grace we are well on our way with an overall enrollment of 790 in the last academic year along with record inquiries and applications for next year.
Concerning our vision to graduate key, gospel-multiplying, self-reproducing, highly-influential Christian leaders from every country, we are so inspired by the fact that PIU has already enrolled students from over one third of the nations on earth. Our Lord's command to "teach all nations" is our literal goal.
To continue expanding our influence, Piedmont must pursue a variety of new approvals from state, federal, and international government authorities as well as additional accreditation. Understanding our deep need for God's good hand to accomplish this, we are end
ing our academic year with a call for forty days and forty nights of continuous prayer that begins in chapel on March 17 and proceeds uninterrupted through the end of chapel on April 25. Our primary prayer request for Piedmont is that this university will follow the example of our Lord Jesus Christ and find favor in the sight of God and man (Luke 2:52) as we seek the various approvals and licenses. We also encourage each participant to share prayer requests and answers as well.
Our three goals are: (1) to have 100% participation from faculty, staff, and students and also include many alumni and friends; (2) to have 100% of the half-hour slots claimed so that the prayer chain continues uninterrupted; and (3) to document clear answers to specific prayer requests. Please sign up using our online form and then "like" us at the official Facebook page to follow the progress, share encouraging words and write your own prayer requests and answers to prayer.
This year the online sign up form has a simple calendar view. You can click on the day and then click again on the time slot which will open a dialog box where you can enter your name and contact information. If you want a recurring prayer time, please write "daily" or "weekly" in the comment section, and someone will auto fill that slot for you across the forty days. "Daily" means that you will pray at the same time each day, and "weekly" means that you will pray at the same day and time once a week.
Finally, Moses and Jesus both fasted during their forty days, and we are encouraging those participating in our prayer chain to consider some form of fasting for some period of time during these days. In addition, we are asking that individuals and groups take initiative and create your own prayer times. We look forward to hearing about what God does in your life and ministry as well as sharing what He does here at Piedmont as we embark on forty days and forty nights of uninterrupted prayer.

Excellent JohnI bought this jacket a week ago and I can tell it will be my go to for many winters to come. It's perfect for around town even in the cold and also has Primaloft, so it's well suited for intense activity in the mountains under a shell. The quality is what you'd expect from Arc'teryx or Patagonia-- it's light, has nice materials, zippers, seams, and well thought out pockets including comfortable hand-warmer front pockets. You can't go wrong with either color.
looks greatjetmy husband has it and I bought it for our son - stylish - kind of hip.
Great all around JacketBomberThe Lofty Sky is a one-stop-shop jacket. It's great for activities and it's professional enough for work, or an evening out in the sub-zero temps. It's as warm as my old 'puffy' that will definitely be collecting more dust this winter.
Very happy East jackson Medium fits like a champ. Weight is light. Velcro on cuffs a nice touch for tight fit.
A Great Multi-Season JacketMatt StirnI moved back to Jackson a month ago (early November) and in that time I have seen cool/windy fall days, freezing rain, and -20 degree temps. This jacket performed fantastically in every condition and was light enough to stuff into my messenger bag. The jacket also performed well when I was caught unexpectedly in the rain. It's been a great layer for the fall and winter and I can't wait to bring it into the backcountry next summer.
It's the little thingsGreg SIn this age of super tech fabrics and insulation, it's the little things that separate good from great...and this is a great jacket. From the wide adjustable cuffs that prevent slouch sleeves to the easy-to-slip-my-iPhone-into inner pouch, this jacket hits on all cylinders
Fabulous Jacket!CupcakeI bought this jacket for my husband and he loves it! He typically wears a Large/40R and the large is a great fit. It is perfect for city living but will also work in the country and on the slopes. The black is sharp and he loves the cut, the style and the weight. Five stars all around for this jacket!
Poor cut for an athleteSLCWas hoping Stio would cater to the outdoor active crowd. Unfortunately, this jacket is cut for the average american with an ever expanding waistline. As such, way too big around the middle. I really hope Stio changes to more of an athletic cut in the future.
Outstanding valueMikeI have previously purchased from Stio and like their design and quality. Wanted a jacket that I could wear in wet conditions and offered warmth.
Excellent coat for Michigan winter weatherWhiteyThe coat is very comfortable and is an excellent fit allowing room for under layers. I am into outdoor photography so the numerous zippered pockets are great for carrying lenses, filters, etc. The coat is ideal for winter weather in the -10 to +40 F range. The quality is good for a coat in this price range. I would definitely recommend this coat to active outdoors people.
Rockin JacketHowardregLove this jacket. Got the Black in a Medium which fits perfect to size. The jacket itself is very well built. Not to bulky and looks awesome. I have had and tried about all other similar brands in this style and nothing comes close to STIO's version. This is a must have jacket to add to your line up.
Fabulous jacket.LBThis is an extraordinary jacket - super warm, lightweight and very well constructed. As a NSP member, I see a lot of different winter products. This is absolutely at the top of the list.
Phenomenalskialta23Great versatile jacket with western style. Sauntered around Whistler BC all last week and the jacket was amazing. Plenty warm with just the right pockets. Another great product from Stio:)
mehgood eyeslooked great online. liked square waffle, simple lines, and zippers looked silver metal to give this soft jacket some rugged urban edge. turns out zippers are gray plastic. and cut is too boxy, especially around shoulders. for a slender guy not a good fit. what looked like a home run online turned out to be a foul ball in person. oh well.
Hip JacketMile HighGreat compromise between being too "Mountain-Y" and too "City". Very smart and up-to-date look-no puffy Michelin Man look. I had to go down a size to medium, as it is more of a "regular" cut in the chest/waist, and I'm 6', 185 and in good shape. Not heavy enough for 0 degrees, but perfect for a sunny winter day in CO.
Love the jacketPandaMy first Stio garment. Functionally, it is exactly what I was looking for. Synthetic fill jacket for the cold days that will work with the rest of my outdoor clothing for walks to work and look stylish. I love the inner pockets - 1 one zippered one and the other stretchy 'quickdraw' style. The outside pockets are large enough to comfortably warm my hands and the top zippered pockets have enough volume for just about anything. It slides on and off easily and the fuzzy fleece is comfortable on my chin when the jacket zips all the way up. I'm on the East Coast; the jacket has a touch of 'western flair' that makes it interesting to me. At first I wasn't sure about the thickness of the cuffs but I get compliments from my wife that it makes the jacket look great. So, it's a keeper (the jacket[and my wife without saying]) ! Thanks
Great jacketAndyI am really happy with this jacket. The Moroccan Blue is a super pretty color and the construction is top notch. I am 6'2" and weigh about 190 lbs and the large fit perfectly. I wear a 42L jacket size and the sleeves were long enough. Warmth is great but I live in Northern CA so we're talking about generally > 40 degrees F.
Great jacket but runs largeskimanGreat light insulating jacket with great styling. Only drawback is the sizing. It runs a size large. I'm 5'9 and 150 lbs and got the small and felt that it was too boxy on me. Wish it was a little more fitted. Ended up returning it but still a fan of Stio's products.
Great Product (with one flaw)Steinke BasinGreat jacket. Versatile. I've now bought two of these jackets and was hoping that Stio would address the one problem I had with the first one -- and that is my beard shreds the collar a bit. Needs a tougher material there.
My New Favorite#snowbirdI've had the luxury of spending my first week in my Lofted Sky jacket and I couldn't be any happier. This Jacket is equally at home in the midst of a storm on the slopes or in the city. I love it ! Chest Pockets rule!
Great coat. Lightweight, great fit, warm.KyleCool design, like the horizontal zippers on chest pockets, velcro cuffs. Works on its own or great as a layer. Would recommend to a friend.
I love this jacket! Paint DogIt is sharpe looking and much warmer than I thought!

Top NotchDaveI've had my Lofted Sky Insulated jacket for a week. Our Colorado spring weather has been a mix of rain and snow with temps from the hi 20's to the lo 40's. The jacket is top notch. I've received complements and comments every day in what is otherwise Patagonia, North Face territory. I'm a borderline Medium/Large guy. I ordered the Medium. The sleeve length is perfect and the body fit is slightly but comfortably fitted with room for a sweater or pullover underneath.

LECOM celebrates 20 years
Twenty years ago, medical experts deemed the idea of a new medical school both ill-advised and ill-timed. That did not stop the founders of Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine from building an affordable and highly innovative medical college.
Since that time, the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine has become the largest medical school in the nation.
"We were going against the tide of public opinion, and health care experts, who claimed there would be an oversaturation of physicians by the year 2000," says John M. Ferretti, LECOM's president. "We were confident a new school was needed."
The board of trustees of Millcreek Community Hospital thought the studies were wrong. They saw the need for more physicians for rural and poor areas. The hospital itself also had trouble attracting new doctors because of its small-town location.
"Our mission was to bring physicians to underserved areas or small communities," says Silvia M. Ferretti, D.O., provost, senior vice president and dean of academic affairs. "We saw that between Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo, there were underserved areas. If we just try to recruit from this area, we will be doing a service to those people."
The group voted to open LECOM in 1992.
The board purchased the former GTE data center on West Grandview Boulevard. The large industrial building provided space for classrooms and offices and offered a panoramic view of Lake Erie -- not that anyone had much time for gazing out of windows. Its founders had a dream of making LECOM a Chautauqua Institution of health and medicine, providing medical knowledge and help to the community.
The doors to that building would have never opened without the support of the late Gov. Robert Casey, who approved the charter in 1992, saying if LECOM could meet state standards and requirements, it should open. Dr. Silvia Ferretti says Casey, a man she never met, knew the needs of his state.
Osteopathic medicine
Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O., founded osteopathic medicine, and the first osteopathic medical school, in Kirksville, Mo., in 1892. He believed that the body was an "intricate machine that which if kept in proper adjustment, nourished and cared for, will run smoothly into an old useful age." Thus, osteopathic physicians are trained in preventive medicine, hands-on treatments and the "mind-body-spirit connection" to help the body heal itself. Still's principles guided LECOM's founders in creating the school's curriculum, which takes a holistic approach to wellness.
The first graduating class in 1997, with fewer than 40 students, earned LECOM its accreditation with its parent organization, the American Osteopathic Association. It became the 16th osteopathic medical school in the country.
LECOM continued moving forward with unique student-centered, learning pathways, three-year physician and pharmacy degree programs and master of science degrees.
As the student population grew, so did LECOM's main building, undergoing a major expansion that tripled the building's size. LECOM began to impact the Erie area in ways beyond providing more physicians. LECOM prompted an additional economic boost in Erie and Millcreek as contractors built more condominiums, apartments and houses along West Grandview Boulevard and refurbished old buildings.
LECOM also sponsored more local cultural events and sports teams.
"LECOM is a great example of how private enterprise can bring about economic impact within a community as well as being a good corporate citizen," Dr. John Ferretti says.
The school's mission of wellness spread beyond Erie in 2004 when LECOM opened a branch campus in Bradenton, Fla. The shortage of physicians in Pennsylvania also continued, prompting LECOM to affiliate with Seton Hill University in Greensburg. LECOM at Seton Hill opened in 2009, helping LECOM to become the largest medical school in the U.S.
For Dr. Silvia Ferretti, the opening of the John M. & Silvia Ferretti Medical Fitness & Wellness Center in 2009 was another successful moment in the history of the medical school. The center, adjacent to Millcreek Community Hospital, combines exercise and preventive health care with medical services, and it fulfilled one the school's goals -- to change the community for the better using osteopathic principles.
"When you actually get to the people, and help them change their health, that's what it is all about," she says.
And LECOM continues its growth. In July of this year, LECOM opened a School of Dental Medicine at its Bradenton campus. In 2015, supervised dental students will work in Erie, at a 30-chair dental clinic next to the LECOM main campus. Also unique to LECOM's approach to medical education is the requirement that all of its clinical faculty continue holding office hours and seeing real patients. In effect, the educators have to "practice what they teach," and that requirement extends to both the school's provost and president.
"It gives me a unique opportunity that most college presidents don't get to have," Dr. John Ferretti says. "I see the students and judge how well we are doing in preparing them."
With more than 4,000 graduates, LECOM isn't slowing down. In the 2012-2013 school year, enrollment will exceed 3,300 students in all programs.
Twenty percent of area physicians are graduates of LECOM and are practicing at local hospitals. LEL

The power may finally be coming back on at NBC tonight.
In the fall, NBC was the top-rated broadcast network, reversing years' worth of dismal ratings news. The victory was on the back of just three shows, though: "Sunday Night Football," "The Voice" and "Revolution."
Then, they all went away, and with them, NBC's ratings fortunes. "The Voice" and "Revolution" wrapped up in November, and NBC hasn't aired an NFL game since January.
Since then, NBC has gone into a freefall. The shows that were doing OK, like "Go On," have seen their numbers plummet without a lead-in from "The Voice." New series have tanked, like "Do No Harm," which was pulled after just two dismal outings, and "Deception," whose season finale ranked seventh for the night, lower even than shows on MTV and USA.
But tonight, the Peacock network brings back two of its powerhouses -- with some changes.
"The Voice" (7 p.m. on cable channel 5) has two new judges: Shakira and Usher will sit in for the season in place of Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green. I'm interested to see what kind of chemistry they'll have with the returning Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. But the show really rises and falls on the talent of the contestants, so even if they're not a perfect fit on the judges' panel, it may not hurt too much. (That said, the clips I've seen of the premiere show that Shakira has soem real potential.)
"Revolution" (9 p.m. on cable channel 5) faces an even bigger challenge. Reality shows generally don't suffer that much ratings-wise after a long break, but broadcast networks' scripted dramas can take a big hit in the numbers -- especially the mythology-heavy ones like "Revolution."
As you recall, the series takes place about 15 years in our future, after a global power outage has transformed the world. The bad guys (David Lyons and Giancarlo Esposito) had just gotten some power back on in the fall cliffhanger, allowing them to send some helicopters after the good guys.
They include Elizabeth Mitchell's Rachel, who has now been reunited with her kids and her brother-in-law with all of the knowledge of what caused the power to go out in the first place. Hopefully, that means we'll soon get some answers and the show will get a chance to deepen. Up until now, it's been fairly fun but mostly light entertainment. The cast and creators are capable of more, though, so here's hoping they get the chance to keep growing.
Also on:
- "How I Met Your Mother" (7 p.m. on CBS, cable channel 12): Future versions of Barney and Ted (Neil Patrick Harris and Josh Radnor) try to talk their younger selves into seeing something called "Robots Vs. Wrestlers," and Marshall (Jason Segel) wants to have a dance-off with Robin (Cobie Smulders).
- "Dancing with the Stars" (7 p.m. on ABC, cable channel 8): Couples must perform either a jazz, quickstep or jive routine.
- "Bones" (7 p.m. on FOX, cable channel 13): The team investigates the corpse of an undercover cop who is found stuffed with diamonds.
- "The Carrie Diaries" (7 p.m. on The CW, cable channel 11): Carrie (AnnaSophia Robb) gets to assume a new identity, but it's one with plenty of complications.
- "The Following" (8 p.m. on FOX): Jacob (Nico Totorella) returns to the fold after finally getting a kill under his belt and has a tense reunion with Emma (Valorie Curry).
- "Dallas" (8 p.m. on TNT, cable channel 42): Bobby (Patrick Ewing) struggles to keep the family together in the wake of a disaster that appears to have been caused by Christopher's (Jesse Metcalfe) clean-energy technology. Meanwhile, Afton Cooper (Audrey Landers) returns to check on her daughter Pamela (Julie Gonzalo).
- "Being Human" (8 p.m. on Syfy, cable channel 59): A vampire stripper factors into tonight's episode, but even more fun than that is the episode's title: "If I Only Had Raw Brain."
- "Top of the Lake" (8 p.m. on Sundance, cable channel 617): Robin (Elisabeth Moss) finds herself getting interrogated by GJ (Holly Hunter).
- "Mike & Molly" (8:30 p.m. on CBS): Molly (Melissa McCarthy) goes on spring break with her younger classmates.
- "Castle" (9 p.m. on ABC): Detective Ryan (Seamus Deaver) has a complicated past with a new case and has to go undercover to help solve it, much to the surprise of his co-workers.
- "Bates Motel" (9 p.m. on A&E, cable channel 31): Norma's (Vera Farmiga) older son (Max Thierot) shows up at the motel to cause trouble, and the Bates family learns more about the twisted history of their new hometown.
- "Lost Girl" (9 p.m. on Syfy): Linda Hamilton guest stars when Bo (Anna Silk) goes undercover to find a serial killer preying on an urban camp for at-risk youth.
- "Monday Mornings" (9 p.m. on TNT): A guest doctor (Ioan Gruffudd) has to explain a careless mistake, and the affair between Ty and Tina (Jamie Bamber and Jennifer Finnigan) causes unexpected troubles.
- "Inside Comedy" (10 p.m. on Showtime, cable channel 711): David Steinberg interviews Susie Essman and Carol Burnett.

Grant Knocks Botha Out, Funeka and Klassen Win Bouts
Monte Casino, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa - Francois Botha was seconds away from winning the fringe WBF heavyweight title when Michael Grant knocked him out on Saturday night. The South African was ahead on points when a huge right by the American sent him crashing to the canvas in the final round of their fight. Botha, who stunned Grant in rounds seven and eleven, stayed down for a while before his helpers got him back to his feet. The official time of the knockout was 2 minutes 23 seconds into the twelfth round.
Botha, nicknamed the White Buffalo, was in the best shape of his career and he outscored the much taller Grant in a rather boring affair before dropping his guard at a crucial stage. Grant, 39, improved his record to 48-4, with 36 knockouts. The 43-year-old Botha dropped to 48-6-3, with one no-contest and 28 knockouts.
On the undercard, Ali Funeka beat fellow South African Zolani Morali on a split decision. Funeka, 33 years old and a former SA junior lightweight champion, improved his record to 31-3-3, with 25 wins. Marali, 34, is a former IBO junior featherweight and junior lightweight champion.
Junior lightweight Malcolm Klassen beat Daniel Lomeli of Mexico on points over twelve rounds. Klassen, in his first fight since 2009, improved his professional record to 25-5-2, with 14 knockouts. Lomeli dropped to 21-2, 11 KOs.
Grant was about to get K.O. in the 11th round. He was lucky the ref didn't stop the fight.Comment by nycsmooth on 11-20-2011

Hard to hear/follow at first. Very good play, once story gets going. Best bet is to be in centermost seats...theater is in semi-round, so in side sections actors often are faced away from you. Plus at least one actor is deaf, so his speech can be difficult to follow, especially if you can't see his face. That said, good play that deals with issues most of us haven't given much thought to; very well staged and played.

He progressed from a stall-keeper to the embodiment of the new publishing phenomenon known now, as then, as Grub Street. He first comes to notice in 1706 with an edition published from the Strand, of Caesar's Commentaries.

"Much of what Coach Mendenhall said was just meant for us," said outside linebacker Spencer Hadley. "You'll have to talk to him about that, but we just want to put it in the past and move forward."
"There's a couple things that he addressed and we put it behind us," said Preston. "Our motto is this is a new week and we are a new team, and we're just going to be ready for our opponent this week."
For the Cougar defenders, it's important to them that they have a good game against No. 5 Notre Dame, especially after a not-so-inspiring performance last week.
"It's really important," said Preston. "I mean, it was a shot to our pride. We're offended when people put up points against us and that wasn't us [last week], and we have a lot to prove this week. We have a lot to prove every week. So, we're going to come out and make a statement this weekend, and, you know, just come play like crazy."
If BYU's defense is to be successful, they're going to have to prepare for two different Notre Dame quarterbacks that bring different skill sets to the field.
"Yeah, we know they have the two different quarterbacks," said Preston. "I know Coach Mendenhall and the rest of the defensive coaches are going to prepare us. We're going to be ready. One is more mobile and the other is a drop-back passer, so we'll have something ready for the both of them."
Notre Dame quarterbacks Tommy Rees and Everett Golson have been a dual threat for the Irish offense. During their last contest against Stanford, Golson suffered a concussion. Coach Brian Kelly said he expects him to be ready to play if needed against the Cougars.
"We're not going to rule out anything and I think we'll be prepared for the challenges that Notre Dame will present," Preston said. "We don't want to come out and not have our best showing. It's important to us that we come out and stop whoever lines up under center."
Last week against Oregon State that wasn't the case. Beaver backup quarterback Cody Vaz seemed to pick apart BYU's secondary at will.
"I personally feel like we beat ourselves in that game," said Preston. "It's like Coach Howell said, and he hit it right on, execution and a lack of focus was the problem."
BYU's defense wasn't accustomed to being scored upon, so when OSU's offense found success, it affected their overall mindset.
"We haven't really faced a whole lot of people scoring on us," said Preston. "We just got to get better at responding and being mentally tough. You know, playing our assignment and sticking together and stuff, and I don't think we did a great job of that last week."
The mental breakdown in the Cougar defensive secondary further exasperated the level of execution. The Cougar defense has to get back to its pre-Oregon State form in order to prove that the issues truly were execution-based.
"The combination of routes, and they just had a good scheme," said Preston regarding why BYU struggled against the Beavers. "Coach Mendenhall had a good game plan going into the game but we just didn't do a good job of executing it.
"There is something you can learn from every game, and I think there is a lot we can learn from that last game. I didn't think [Oregon State] was any better than us. You know, they're a good team and they have good players, but we just didn't play good. That's how it is. We didn't play good and we're going to put it behind us and I think definitely our defense and our team is really motivated."
The Cougars need to be motivated, highly focused, mentally tough, execution-sound and have one of the better defensive performances of the season if they are going to redeem themselves this Saturday. It's a tall order given the caliber of Notre Dame's program, a program that seems to be finding its groove halfway through the season.

State's largest public housing project transforms itself
Westlawn Gardens unveils its new environmentally friendly buildings
With an updated name designed to reflect its modern-neighborhood look and its environmental and sustainable features, Westlawn Gardens formally opened Wednesday.
The $82 million transformation of half of the state's largest public housing project, located on 75 acres on the northwest side of the city, began in 2010 with the bulldozing of 332 of the more than 725 units.
The 1950s barracks-styled housing stretched over 37 acres on the east half of Westlawn.
Those 332 units have been replaced with 250 units in sleekly designed townhouses, single-family units and multifamily apartments surrounded by flowers and plants.
Internal streets create a neighborhood feel. There's a playground, benches and a three-quarter-acre community garden that's been planted in cooperation with Growing Power to encourage residents to grow some of their own fruits and vegetables. Growing Power, based in Milwaukee, has gained national attention for its urban farming techniques.
"These are not cookie-cutter homes, but different designs of healthy homes designed to emphasize walkability," said Warren Jones, the development director for the Milwaukee Housing Authority.
The high-efficiency units are designed for LEED-ND certification, a national rating system for neighborhood design that uses the principles of smart growth and green building.
There are also bioswales on low sides of the streets to mitigate storm water. And the street lamps are all LED lights, which will mean a 46% energy saving for the city over the years, Jones said.
"We hope this will be part of the metropolitan revolution," said Tony Perez, executive director of the Housing Authority, at the Housing Authority's annual meeting Wednesday at Westlawn Gardens.
The project was built with money from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and federal tax credits.
Land has been set aside to build an estimated 140 market-rate units in the future, so that Westlawn will be a mix of affordable and market-rate housing, Perez said.
On Wednesday the housing authority also released requests for proposals to lease retail space that's available within the Westlawn Gardens complex.
"Milwaukee is leading the way for building sustainable, mixed-income neighborhoods with quality housing stock that is meant to last," Mayor Tom Barrett said.
"The housing authority is doing a great job in making Milwaukee stronger economically and helping families achieve economic self-sufficiency."
Angeline Prescott, 74, has lived at Westlawn for 27 years and recently moved into a new, one-bedroom unit in Westlawn Gardens that overlooks Silver Spring Drive.
She said she loves the open concept of the unit, which has a small balcony and a bigger kitchen and larger bathroom than her old unit.
And outside her door, there's a shelf for her small doll collection.
Low-income residents who qualify pay 30% of their income in rent, said Paul Williams of the housing authority.
There are also 20 market-rate units that are unsubsidized and that go for $657 for a one-bedroom unit, he said.
While city officials and others celebrated the opening of the new Westlawn Gardens, Perez said the housing authority is also applying for federal Choice Neighborhoods money to revamp the other half of Westlawn, which stretches to N. 68th St.

If stressing out makes you reach for a brownie here's a strategy to try to beat your food cravings: walk them off. It may seem like a silly strategy when your stomach seems to be demanding all the chocolate (and now!) but science shows it really works.
In a 2015 study in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers asked overweight adults either to walk briskly on the treadmill for 15 minutes or to sit quietly. Everyone then completed a stressful task and unwrapped sugary treats—two known craving triggers. Those who hoofed it had less of a desire to chow down compared to their sedentary peers, likely because exercise helps regulate food urges that aren't related to physical hunger, such as stress eating. Count it as another reason to move every day.
So next time a food craving hits—especially if it's stress related—take a stroll outside. When you...read full post »

The scene: My kitchen. The time: Tonight, about 30 minutes before everyone melts down from starvation. The options: Join in the meltdown; scrounge around for enough money to order pizza; or do something special with those innocent-looking potatoes in the pantry.

And in this case, I can turn them into Asparagus & Ham Stuffed Potatoes in 30 minutes and turn dinner drama into a satisfying family meal. (At less than $3 per serving, it's cheaper than pizza too.)

Confession time: I'm a brownie snob. For years I've turned up my nose at "blondies." (OK, maybe there's a little "brunettes vs. blondes" thing going on too.)

Don't judge a vegetable by its color alone. Vibrant fruits and vegetables have standout appeal, but recommendations to "eat the rainbow" can exclude one underappreciated category: white fruits and vegetables. These boast a variety of flavors and noteworthy nutrition accolades, according to research published in Advances in Nutrition. The researchers pointed out that many nutrients—including several that Americans don't get enough of—and good-for-you phytochemicals that give fruits and veggies their health benefits are not always colorful. Here are 6 reasons (and recipes) to eat more onions, turnips, cauliflower, potatoes, pears and garlic.

Erin Boheme's 'What a Life' beguiling
Erin Boheme, "What A Life" ***
Erin Boheme dropped off the radar after making an impressive debut as a traditional jazz singer at age 18. Seven years later, she's released "What A Life," the first album that another singer, Michael Buble, has produced.
A more mature Boheme has transformed herself into a pop singer-songwriter on "What A Life," performing tunes reflecting her own experience of falling in and out of love.
Boheme uses her jazz technique to accent her girlish yet seductive vocals on the relaxedly swinging "He Isn't You" and the Motown-soulful "One More Try." Although some tracks are overproduced, Boheme's voice is an expressive instrument that needs only minimal backing as exemplified by the Henry Mancini-inspired title track.
Among the handful of covers, Boheme adds a feminine perspective on unreciprocated love to Coldplay's "In My Place" and turns the Gretchen Wilson country hit "I'd Love To Be Your Last" into a romantic duet with jazz singer Spencer Day.
-- Charles J. Gans, Associated Press
Holly Williams, "The Highway" ***
Holly Williams is the kind of poetic songwriter country music once embraced. These days, the powerfully sensitive songs featured on her new album, "The Highway," are relegated to the independent Americana genre that exists outside of the arena-rock formulas of country radio.
The strength of Williams' songwriting and the subtle emotions in her husky, expressive voice suggest she is following in the cross-genre paths of Mary Chapin Carpenter and Kathy Mattea -- or the country side of Neil Young and Lyle Lovett.
Writing of struggles with family and faith, of living a transient life and of dealing with faithfulness and problematic men, Hank Williams' granddaughter uses personal experiences to explore universal issues. Amid a raw yet seamless blend of piano, acoustic guitar and subtle rhythms and sonic accents, her songs seek something true amid the bumps and bliss of daily life. She makes listeners feel why that search is important.
--Michael McCall, Associated Press
Tim McGraw, "Two Lanes Of Freedom" ***
Veteran country star Tim McGraw resolutely refers to independence and the highway in the title of his new album, "Two Lanes Of Freedom," his first since leaving Curb Records, his label for two decades. The title cut flaunts that freedom by employing world-music instruments, harmonies and rhythms to communicate just how creatively liberated he feels.
But McGraw's always pushed at the boundaries of country music. Here he balances experimental arrangements with hat tips to contemporary country music -- the hit "Truck Yeah" follows the current trend of matching rural signifiers with pounding rock, while "One Of Those Nights" nicely weaves in slice-of-life sentiments, a common McGraw theme.
Elsewhere, he succeeds at broadening his sound with hip-hop, bluegrass and piano pop. He also bridges the generations on "Highway Don't Care," a duet with Taylor Swift and Keith Urban that says even freedom needs an anchor in true love.
-- Michael McCall, Associated Press
Avant, "Face the Music" ** 1/2
Avant's seventh album arrives just in time for Valentine's Day: It's full of ballads and seductive tracks that highlight the R&B performer's singing and songwriting skills.
Avant doesn't break any barriers vocally on "Face the Music," but he does bring on a freshness that always makes him worth listening to. That's evident on the album opener, "Toast to Love," and the midtempo "80 in a 30," which displays the Avant we know and love.
"You and I," featuring KeKe Wyatt, sees the awesome twosome throwing down again, adding to their previous collaborations like the classic "My First Love" and "Nothing in This World."
Avant does stretch out of his comfort zone slightly on "No," opting for a more poplike sound, and it works. "Face the Music" isn't perfect, but it's an R&B goodie.
-- Bianca Roach, Associated Press

Thanks Frob for your much appreciated feedback and insight.
Open Source games it is.
29 October 2013 - 08:18 AM
Thanks Frob for the reply. (received no notification to say a reply was received!)
The game content is only a portion of the site as the business strategy focusses on several other avenues outside of the game arena.
Yes, I think open source games will work but where I'm having difficulty is finding out the true licensing agreements in place and what restrictions a third party website may face by using their games.
The difficulty we are having with Open Source games is they appear to be different to Freeware games and someone mentioned we should be focusing exclusively on Freeware games as opposed to Open Source
I am not interested in exclusivity - games in use by several other websites is not an issue. We simply want to provide good quality age appropriate game content that will form part of a website while we are in Beta to test the market response.
Any advice is appreciated.

When auditors opened the books at the Powell Clinch Utility District, they found excessive personal charges and weakness in other areas for the utility.
Del Roberts, the one time Powell Clinch Utility director, racked up $95,059 in personal expenses he attempted to have PCUD pay for, the report said. The audit, conducted by the state comptroller's office, was focused in the time between July 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009. However, state officials did note that as needed, that scope was expanded.
