PS All Stars Save Data WON"T Sync
I have a PS3 and a PS Vita.
Both are fully up to date.
Both have PS All Stars.
Both are signed in on the same account.
Both are using a working and tested internet connection.
My PS3 Save progress will NOT sync to my PS Vita at all.
I've even tried manually coping the saves on my PS3 to online storage
and still nothing.
I called in about this and spent 20 minutes on the phone with a girl
who had no idea how to address this issue and told me there was
nothing she could do to help me fix this.
Greatly appreciate any help as I hope and plan to seamlessly swap
between consoles as I go about my day wihtout having to unlock
everything TWICE
Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: PS All Stars Save Data WON"T Sync
If it works the same as MLB 12 The Show, then the save data does not sync at all, and is not intended to be seamless. With MLB 12 save data was transferred between the PS3 and Vita versions of the game by copying it to dedicated online storage (not the same as PS3 or PS Vita Playstation Plus online storage) manually via an in-game menu command. I would assume that PSASBR, which is from the same studio system, would work similarly.
Re: PS All Stars Save Data WON"T Sync
Unfortunately not. The in game menu only controls sound and such. There is no option for save data management.
The lady on the phone tried that.
But thanks.
Re: PS All Stars Save Data WON"T Sync
So far I found a partial work-around...or perhaps it's intented to work this odd way.
I'll post it here in case anyone else has this same problem.
It ONLY seems to coordinate data between the two now if I compete in online multiplayer.
To get it to work...
1) play some multi on my PS3...ok done...exit to main menu.
2) open game on vita...no data yet.
3) connect to multiplayer...load a character that should have new data...data loads....not always most recent, exiting to main menu and coming back seems to fix that though.
If you want to go from Vita to PS3 and pickup where you left off do the same thing....exit to main menu on vita...Start game over from main menu on PS3 and goto Multiplayer...load a char that should have new data.
I'm getting it to work with this method right now...more or less. But it seems too stupid for them to have planned it this way.
I hope they fix this soon.
Re: PS All Stars Save Data WON"T Sync
Every game that supports cross-saves seems to implement them differently. I agree that it makes no sense to not have a standard method for implementing this feature, but as these games have been in development for a couple of years already; it is too late to do anything about that now for currently released titles.
Re: PS All Stars Save Data WON"T Sync
That's a common misconception. Just because they have the ability to patch code, doesn't mean that the design of a game is going to change after release. In fact, that almost never happens. Once the game ships, the development team is disbanded. There are very few people left to work on the software, and most of them will be working on multi-player support or developing DLC. Only the most critical changes to the basic game will be made after release. They aren't going to reimplement something that is working, just to make it work better. By the time they release it, the game will have already sold the vast majority of the copies that it will ever sell; so there is no business case to do the work.
Re: PS All Stars Save Data WON"T Sync
Besides if kids in their basement can patch code and write fixes I'm sure their master programmers for the company are more than capable of doing so a they do on a regular basis.
By your logic nobody should buy black ops for Vita because they'll never fix the dropping/freezing issue in multiplayer that the last patch didn't fix.
Hike what your saying might be true for useless backwater reject games that nobody really cares about, te vast majority of games owned by reputable companies will be maintained.

J.Lo wowed audiences at this yeas American Music Awards with her performance AND her wardrobe! At first we thought she was performing a slow song in a leopard sarong gown, but then BAM! Off came the dress and on came the music! Her outfit underneath was a nude body suit with sparkles, similar to the one Britney Spears wore in her 'Toxic' Music video. Her dance moves with rapper Pitbull made the newspapers for being too sexy but at 42 we think J.Lo looks amazing- what did you guys think of her performance?

Hi all,
I have a little problem with the discovery of our Shoretel IP phones. SW will find the ones in the local office fine. SW will find the phone switches and T1 connections in the remote offices. However, SW will not find the phones in our remote offices. The IP ranges are all configured correctly as I can see the terminals or desktops connected through the phones. All phones have the latest firmware and are the same models throughout the system.
What am I missing here?
2 Replies
Jan 24, 2011 at 5:56 UTC
phones on separate vlan if configured properly...
PC's will have a completely different IP range than the phones....
If the Layer3 switch is not configured to route your remote subnet into the PhoneVlans you won't be able to scan or see them at all...
Jan 25, 2011 at 7:53 UTC
In every location, all devices are on the same VLAN and IP range.
I can ping any phone from any location.
Routing works fine for internal calls so its not a routing issue. Unless the issue lies with SW discovery using a non-routable protocol to find the phones.

Kilbrittain 6 miles
On April 16, 2007 by Donncha With 6 Comments - Beach, Black and White, Canon 20D, Cork, Flickr, Garretstown, Ireland, Landscape, Photos, Sea, Sigma 18-200, Signs, Sky, Water
A sign points to Kilbrittain in Co. Cork near the beach at Garrettstown.
Has it been 2 years already Ryan? My Flickr account expires in February 2008 so I have a bit more time on my hands. It's been well worth it however!

Thanks! I love prominent foregrounds 🙂

I dunno, that sign looks pretty old so it could be miles. Only thing for it is to go down to Garrettstown beach again and go for a drive! Oh the hardship!

The coastal area of Kilbrittain is as pictureque as you will find.

Well, it's been a fun ride. But in a day or two I'll be gone from this site...
... For about a month. I'll be back around then. I'll be in a little trip to Chile, South America. So don't miss me that much. There's a possibility I will still be able to get in the Wikia during that time, but I won't be as active as before.
So, wish me luck!

The 45-year-old has already received rave reviews at the Toronto Film Festival, where the cast were given a standing ovation, apparently reducing Jen to tears.
According to reports, the film will hit cinemas for one week in December in order to qualify for Academy Awards consideration, with a wider release date set for January 2015.
It could be a career-changing role for the star, who is best known for her comedic performances.
"It was a no-brainer," Jen previously said of her decision to sign up to the film. "Just reading Patrick's script I actually saw myself doing it. I just felt like it was already happening and it was pretty easy to say, 'Yes'.
"It was such a beautiful, complex, layered, tortured character. I just tapped into something I was meant to do."
The film's producers have stated that Jennifer was their only choice when casting the movie.
"When my life and producing partner Ben Barnz and I first read Cake just 14 months ago, we knew we had to go to Jennifer Aniston," director and executive producer Daniel Barnz said.
"It was the most obvious un-obvious choice – she's mega-talented, but we've never seen the whole range of her extraordinary comic and dramatic abilities showcased in one role."

I've seen a few guns with similiar grips in the past - always thought they looked cool.
If I did that to a gun, though, I'd keep it only as a range gun. If I used it in a self-defense situation, some DA could really go for the throat and make U out to be a crazy, aggressive person... I know, that's only speculation, but I work in the court system, and I could see it happening....
But yea, it looks sweet
Good looking pistol you got there. How's she shoot? Looks real cool.

The Clown, Experimenting
With each vicious swing, Tina winced and the masked Stanley accordioned further, until he was just a yellow-and-green ball with a streak of black-and-white. The Joker swung the mallet like a golf club, and sent the Mask-ball ricocheting around the Coco Bongo.
The dynamo hit tables, upturning them completely and sending up shrieks from the occupying patrons. Musicians scattered, gathering their instruments and fleeing the club. Glasses shattered every which way. The Mask-ball spectacularly smashed through a crystal swan on the mayor's table, leaving the portly man and his nubile young consort sparkling with ice flecks and apoplectic with horror. The ball collided with a waiter, who went tumbling as his tray went spinning. Cheesecakes, chocolate tortes, and raspberry tarts landed in women's hair and veiled hats, in men's jowly faces and belly-stretched dinner jackets.
Harleen managed to catch an airborne tart before the Joker snatched her hand and pulled her under the table.
"Well, Puddin'," she said, licking the raspberry preserve and munching into the pastry. "You definitely ain't gonna copy acrobatics like that..."
"You're right, Harl, " he agreed, lifting the table cloth in order to monitor the action. "I mean, frankly, you've got a better chance at copying that than I do."
Harleen beamed, her cheeks full of the dessert. She swallowed and made a small squeak of delight. "Ya mean that, Mistah J? I didn't think you noticed my gymnastics skills..."
The Joker smiled indulgently on his assistant. "Of course I do, Harley," he purred. "That ball is you on one of my bad nights."
Harleen stared at him, dumbly. She looked away, and swallowed a lump in her throat that threatened to gag her.
She murmured, "You can be a real heartless jerk, ya know that, Mistah J?"
With a short laugh, the Joker chided, "Me? Have a heart? Oh Pumpkin, you know it's only a whoopie cushion in there..."
He withdrew the joy buzzer from his coat and applied it to his hand. "What've I told you about getting your hopes up?"
Harleen said nothing, and the Joker clambered out from under the table. Without thinking much about it, as per usual, she followed him.
The Mask-ball rolled to a stop in front of the Joker, before popping out back into man-shape. The Mask panted dramatically, and actual five-pointed golden stars circled his head.
The Joker slowly applauded. "Well. That was a decent start. So, the bumps and bruises aren't such a big deal for you, eh? I guess you were one of the kids where sticks and stones actually didn't break your bones... never mind what the school marms said."
The Mask straightened, fists again at this hips. "Satisfied?" he flung out, irritably.
"Not in the slightest!" disagreed the Joker. "Now I wanna see how your nerves function. Whaddya say, pal? Put 'er there!" He thrust out his gloved hand.
The Mask eyed the Joker suspiciously. As he accepted the clown's hand, Harleen swore that the expression the green man wore was positively knowing.
As they clasped hands, the Mask lit up with blue electricity. He shrieked and convulsed into different silhouettes. Even his skeleton flashed a few times.
"Wo-ho-hoah!" yelled the Joker. "Harley! He shocks like Wiley Coyote! I love it!"
Harleen folded her arms impatiently, and rolled her eyes.
At this point, several more incidental spectators had collected their wallets and purses and marched out of the club, righteously offended. Tina, still hiding in the shadow of the palm tree, gazed at the masked Stanley and was at a loss. What are you doing, Stanley? This won't earn you sympathy; this is just stupid.
It occurred to her that the police may have put him up to this, whatever this was.
Bastards. Those enabling bastards. That does it.
Quietly, Tina stood from her crouch and slunk off to the lobby to make a stern phone call.
The Mask's unearthly screech and frenetic convulsing abruptly ended as the Joker withdrew his gloved hand. The yellow-and-green man dropped to the floor. Almost immediately, he sat up and vaulted back onto his feet. "Sssssmmmmmoooooookinnnnnn!" he exclaimed.
The Joker stood with his fist at his hip. He admired the freak of nature before him. He inhaled sharply, flaring his white nostrils.
"Actually, you aren't," he marveled. "That's brilliant! Harley, isn't that brilliant?"
"You called it, Boss," came Harleen's bored reply.
The Joker again reached within his violet coat. "Let's see how you handle this, shall we?"
With a flourish, he leaped into the air and flung a deck of razor-tipped playing cards in the Mask's direction.
Immediately, the yellow-and-green man bent his knees and flexed his arms. Huge yellow, black, pink, and green licorice allsorts ringed his limbs. A metallic red barrel encased his chest. A protective helmet formed around his head, from a puckered blue licorice lozenge. The cards bounced off the metal and lodged harmlessly in the squishy candy armor.
The Joker regarded the display curiously, and scratched his head. "Very good..." he mused. "But I fear I'm missing a reference?"
The Mask tugged off his licorice helmet and avidly explained, "I'm a character from an old British science fiction television show which they really, really should bring back..."
He promptly acquired a thick black moustache and his fedora morphed into a little black derby. "Top notch stuff that show was, wot wot!"
"Oh, I see," replied the Joker, as the Mask plucked the cards out of his squishy abdomen and placed them in the Joker's gloved hands. "Well, I'm afraid I'm as American as green-apple pie, my friend!"
The Joker passed the cards to Harleen, who perked up with interest. "Harley, here," he said. "You clean these off."
"Sure thing, Boss!" she said, and began licking the sugar off the stiff cards.
The Mask waggled his eyebrows at the Joker. "Had enough yet?" he taunted. "Because I could do this alll daaaayyyyy... In fact, I do have allll daaaayyyy..."
"Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet, Big Head," said the Joker, with a confident smile. He smooth his hair back, conceitedly. "You must understand: aside from the sneezing powder and the black eye telescopes, despite the guffaws and the lockjaws, and underneath this frankly fabulous face, I'm a scientist."
"Oh?" commented the Mask.
"That's right," said the Joker. He touched a few petals of the flower on his lapel. Demonically, he grinned up at the yellow-and-green man.
"And I never get tired when I'm experimenting."
The clown lunged forward, pinching the flower's stem.

What God Desires (2 of 3) by Jeff Strite
This content is part of a series.What God Desires (2 of 3)
Series: The Attributes of God
Jeff Strite
Genesis 3:6-10
OPEN: Recently, President Elect George W. Bush has been going through the process of having Congress approve his cabinet selections.
During John F. Kennedy's presidency, there was one member of his cabinet who had a unique relationship with the President: the Attorney General was his brother Robert. Robert Kennedy was reported to have greeted new lawyers entering the Department with the following message:
''This may appear to be a large organization, but when you do something well, I'll hear about it and it will go on your record. I want you to recall that I was recently a lowly worker in the Justice Department myself, but that I now serve as Attorney General, due to perseverance, long hours, hard work, and the fact that my brother became President of the United States… not necessarily in that order.''
APPLY: It helps to be related.
One of the key messages of the Bible (from beginning to end) has been: We're created in God's image.
That gives a unique relationship with God. And because of that relationship, God places immense value on you and me.
In Genesis One, God created the Light and said: ''That's good''
He created the sun, moon and stars and said: ''That's good''
He created the vegetation and said: ''That's good''
He created the animals and said: ''That's good''
But on the 6th day, after having created man and giving him dominion over all the works that He had created, God said: ''That's VERY good.'' Or in other words: ''That's REAL good.''
In Psalm 8:4-9 we read the question: ''What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths ...

The New York Red Bulls have had a void on the left flank since trading away Dave Van Den Bergh, but they look ready to fill that void with Khano Smith, a player who has had his share of success in New York through the years.
The former New England midfielder is set to be traded by Seattle to the Red Bulls, multiple sources told SBI on Tuesday. It is unclear what Seattle will receive in a trade but allocation money is likely to be part of any deal since the Red Bulls currently have a good amount of allocation money and the Sounders have used most of theirs.
The development comes on the same day that Seattle acquired defender Tyrone Marshall from Toronto FC for $100,000 in allocation money. That deal, which reunites Marshall with Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid (who coached Marshall in Los Angeles) paves the way for Toronto FC to make its next acquisition, an international central defender whose identity has yet to be revealed.
In other news, sources tell SBI that former Red Bulls defender Jeff Parke is ready to return to MLS but is not interested in signing with Seattle, which secured his rights in the MLS Expansion Draft. No word yet on where he might wind up, but there are several teams that could use a defender with Parke's ability, including D.C. United.
What do you think of Khano Smith joining the Red Bulls? Do you think Toronto was wise to deal away Tyrone Marshall? Would you like your team to trade for the rights for Jeff Parke? As a Seattle fan, do you like the central defense trio of Tyson Wahl, Tyrone Marshall and Taylor Graham?
Share your thoughts below.
ECS sucks
"Acquiring Marshall is the stupidest move the Sounders have made yet."
I'll take that as a compliment. Back to the east Coast for Smithers
Charlie N.
Is Jacqueline Smith left footed? If so, Bring her in!!
1. Khano Smith is fast, especially for his size and has a cannon of a shot. If he plays, it probably (along with some of the other speed demons) give RBNY the fastest team in MLS.
2. Khano Smith is an idiot who plays dumb soccer and is incredibly inconsistent. He is the anti-Dave van den Bergh (who was all about vision, consistency, intelligence, positioning, playing smart).
3. It's a hoot to hear all this talk about how strong Seattle is. We heard the same thing with San Jose, same thing with Toronto, same thing with RSL before the first ball was rolled out. Maybe Kasey Keller will stand on his head every game and they'll be dominant. But I see the West being stronger this season, LAG and San Jose not being the weak links that they were last season (look at "goals scored" for SJ plus number of times they were shut out, and you'll see what I mean). So this idea that Seattle is going to be strong–they've got to pick up wins somewhere if that's true. I'd like to hear from the Seattle fans who are so convinced they're going to be strong, who those wins are going to come against? Will the East be significantly weaker? Houston is suddenly going to be terrible?
cammie v
As a Revs fan, I always had hopes for Khano…he works hard, and is incredibly fast, BUT…you never knew which Khano would turn up, the one who could turn on a dime and deliver an incredible goal, or the one who delivered that free kick into the upper stands at Gillette, and didn't seem to understand how to connect with his teammates. I wish him success, and when you guys play the Revs I hope he delivers more balls into the upper stratosphere.
Has there be no speculation as who this high profile central defender signing could be for TFC? Anyone hearing or reading anything?
Jason Woodward
Quote: "Khano is terrible; I'd rather he'd continue to be on any other team so we could continue to heckle him for his poor play when he plays against the Red Bulls"
We heckled Khano quite a bit in Foxborough. No reason why you guys can't heckle him as well. I for one will miss him. Khano-oh-oh-oh-oh
Chest Rockwell
As a DC fan, I think this is great. Can't wait to see Smith send a shot out for a throw-in, send a cross well out of bounds, take a dive, and get sent off in a 5 minute span.
Ken U
He might be able to fill in at left back for us so we have a wing back that can cross and join attack at times and also Goldy can move into CD with Petke.
Is Smith my favorite no, but the trade could be worse
Cesar Barrientos
Parke + Petke + RB =the best team in MLS
i want Parke, that's all. meh at Smith.
Such a bad move, i don't care how fast we are, this guy is horrible, inconsistent, and a cancer in the locker room. We are selling our soul for a little extra speed.
2 things he is fast, very fast.
also he sucks, very sucks.
he was so bad that us NE'ers had our own cheer just for him. KHAN-O-O-O-O-O. He does have some flashes of brilliance. but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
now with christman and khano gone, perhaps NE can win the cup…
NYRB should not give Seattle last years snow for Khano Smith.They have to do better than him. at the same time you are also telling everyone else that is trying out at that position they are going to be cut as they are not a good enough player.
Dave Clark
I'll throw in Jarrod Smith as well. Parke and the two Smiths for that DP that Red Bull doesn't want.
I mean if I can read other people's dreams, they can read mine.
He was the worst player on the Revs, so I guess he's just perfect for the Red Bull.
So Ives any updates? on RBNY and this movement?
Tim F.
This trade would surprise me. His play in MLS Cup two years ago was awful and very costly to the Revolution. I didn't think he would interest the Red Bulls/Osorio even though he can provide flashes of speed down the left flank.
Wow, "wipes sweet of forehead!!!" I'm so glad the sounders dished off Smith. He is total rubbish…I've hated watching him play for years now. When I found out we picked him up in the expansion draft I was shocked.
As far as Marshall goes, I guess its an OK pick up. Graham and Wahl are far better players than he is though…He can give the sounders depth.
On another note, I could care less if we keep Parke or not. Anyone that shoots the juice is not worthy of putting on the green and blue…He is not even that great of a player anyway. I hope he ends up sucking his thumb in the USL all year….I'm still pissed we didn't pick up Mike Randolph.
Count me as another Revs fan who was ecstatic to see Smith taken in the expansion draft. He is the epitome of a player with tons of physical talent, but no mind for the game at all. I don't know how many times he'd leave me screaming at him, either directly or through the TV, after he'd get the ball with a chance to do something, and he seemed to pick the absolutely worst option to take. Each season he will have a few plays meriting inclusion in the weekly highlight clips, along reels of bloopers.
Ives, one thing I've always wondered, has Khano had concussion problems or anything? He's always one of the tallest guys on the field, yet he never goes in on offensive corner kicks. I always wanted to think the reason for it was something other than the coaches thinking he wasn't tough enough or willing enough to fight for a head ball in traffic.
The fact that Seattle is offering Smith says Sigi is happy with his other wingers. LeToux, Nassi, and Z Man tore up the turf at the Home Depot. Just one more CB or a DM and Seattle will surprise.
smith is worth one moment of brilliant every other game, meantime there is nothing else but childish frustration.
Why do I get the feeling Sigi is pulling the wool over everyone in the league, slowly but surely?
Any word on who this international defender is?
As a Seattle fan, I'd like Parke to come to Sounders. But, either way, we have the MLS rights to him. If he comes back, someone will have to trade for him. That should benefit Seattle.
smith is a good pick up but he's always annoyed me. His temper can be infuriating and he can pull some real boneheaded moves and can at times be lazy but he's a solid guy to have. I still want to see Richards, Oduro, and Kandji on the field at the same time.
RBNY fan
What happened to Palguta,great left backer at Rochester. He's better by far than No No Smith (Sorry, Khano)
ok here is my utlook on the whole situation…guy is really fast,i hate him for the couple of briliant moves and goal against us in playoffs.But he is cheap..and again really fast .Our line up is so fast right now that i am starting to worried a bit,bc we might be faster than the ball…and we will deffenetly be most cought on offside team in the MLS.
RBNY – Bring back Jeff Parke
I'll take it. Khano's superfluous in Seattle and would be at least 4 in the depth chart behind Le Toux, Nyassi and Zakuani. #5 back if Freddy L.'s healthy.
Mark my words. Seattle's going to be led to the playoffs by Fredy. That's Fredy with 1 d, last name Montero. Montero, Jaqua and Le Toux are gonna light up the scoreboard. That's before even getting to anything we can get out of Ljungberg, Nyassi, Evans, Zak and the other mids.
O wow… Khano Smith wat can i say Welcome to NY. It aint gonna be easy. This looks like a good move but there can only be 1 Van DBerg.

A few weeks ago UC Irvine Extension partnered with 99designs to run a contest for its marketing website MarketingZot.com. For us, it wasn't just an introduction to the word "zot" – a sound made by the tongue of an anteater and a popular chant heard at UC Irvine events – but also a first insight into a great marketing department with a keen eye for innovation.
MarketingZot solicited its readers to give feedback and choose the final winner of the contest. They received over 90 entries, with designers hailing from countries including India, Serbia, Italy, Croatia and Ukraine. A truly international crowd.
Take a look at the winner and runners-up below:

Now that I have been to both sides of Niagara Falls, I realized just how different the American and the Canadian side are and wanted to share with you the pros and cons of each side, similarities and the main differences, and which side I think you should visit when you plan a trip to Niagara Falls.
Unless you're a total geography buff, you're probably not familiar with the exact location and division of the Falls between the U.S. and Canada, so let's start with some background information.
Some background info on Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls are located 20 minutes (17 miles / 27 km) north of Buffalo, New York on the American side, and about 90 minutes south of Toronto, Ontario (75 miles / 121 km) on the Canadian side. The Falls are located on the Niagara River, a short river that connects Lake Erie with Lake Ontario (two of the five Great Lakes). Each side has a city right by the Falls, and both are appropriately named Niagara Falls. More on both later.
Niagara Falls actually consist of three sets of waterfalls: the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, and the Bridal Veil Falls as well as the American Falls on U.S. soil.
Together, they make for the world's biggest waterfalls by flow rate, with an average of 4 million cubic feet (110,000 m3) of water falling over the crest line every minute and up to 6 million cubic feet (168,000 m3) in high flow.
In comparison to other famous waterfalls, Niagara Falls are fairly small though:
Niagara Falls
- Width: Horseshoe Falls 2,600 feet (790 meters), American Falls 1,060 feet (320 meters)
- Height: 167 feet (51 meters)
Iguazu Falls
- Width: 8,858 feet (2,700 meters)
- Height: 210 – 269 feet (64 – 82 meters)
Victoria Falls
- Width: 5,604 feet (1,708 meters)
- Height: 360 feet (108 meters)
While they are only about a third in width of Iguazu Falls and less than half the height of Victoria Falls, they are still an incredible sight and well worth a visit, and they are still the biggest waterfalls in North America.
As I mentioned before, the Falls can be either visited from the American side or from the Canadian side, and I have compiled everything you need to know about visiting either side.
Let's start with what's similar on both sides. No matter if you're visiting from the States or from Canada, you can take a 30-minute boat ride close up to the massive Horseshoe Falls; the Maid Of The Mist leaves every half hour from the U.S. and its Canadian counterpart is the Hornblower Niagara Cruise. Another thing that both sides offer is the possibility to get close up to the Falls with a set of walkways / viewpoints that are right by the Falls.
It is possible to visit Niagara Falls entirely for free anything from either country.
The biggest difference between visiting the Falls from Canada and the U.S. are the views you get. Let's be honest, Canada just lucked out here and simply has the better vistas: you can get the entire panoramic view of all three waterfalls from the edge of the gorge here, while from the U.S., you'll have difficulties seeing the entire 'horseshoe', despite the various observation decks. The American Falls themselves can only be seen if you pay to enter the Cave of the Winds walkways, but then you also only see them from the bottom and not in full panorama.
The U.S. side has an advantage though: here, you can get really close to the Falls. While you can get close to the Horseshoe Falls in Canada, you can truly feel the American Falls.
Here is some more information on each side:
The Canadian Side
The Canadian side of Niagara Falls offers you the full panoramic view of all the falls. You can walk along a wide sidewalk along the Niagara Falls Parkway right on the rim of the gorge for about a mile and look down into the Niagara River and see the Falls across from you.
If you want even broader views of the Falls, you can go up on the Skylon Tower from where you have stunning overhead vistas. The Skylon Tower also has a revolving restaurant, so that you can enjoy a meal or some drinks with those epic views. Reserving a table here includes free access to the observation deck If you book only a ticket, it's only CAD10.71 if you book it online! The Brunch Buffet at CAD27.50 is actually pretty good value, considering it includes the observation deck as well.
You can get really close to the Horseshoe Falls if you pay for the Journey Behind The Falls experience. You get to take an elevator down 150 feet (45 meters), walk through a series of caves and finally get to an observation deck right next to the falls. While it is called Behind The Falls, don't expect to actually get behind them: it's more like getting a glimpse behind them. You will get drenched though (rain ponchos are provided), and will hear the thundering noise of the rushing water really close up. Admission for the Journey Behind The Falls is CAD15.95 plus tax.
If you stay overnight, make sure to come back at night to see the Niagara Falls light show. After sunset, the falls are illuminated in changing colors – it is a neat sight. During the summer months, there are also fireworks on Fridays and Sundays and on public holidays.
If you have difficulties walking, there is a hop-on hop-off bus service that connects the main attractions in town and several lookouts along the Falls; a day ticket is $7 per person. You can find the schedule and route map here.
The American Side
The American side might not have the panoramic views that Canada has, but it lets you get super close to the water. There is one big observation deck which you can enter for free and where you get the best vistas of a big part of the falls.
You can also take the 30-minute boat ride into the rushing Horseshoe Falls and get soaked that way, or you walk along the wooden walkways of the Cave Of The Winds experience. The cave that it is named after is long gone (it collapsed in 1954), but the walkways and viewing points, 175 feet (53 meters) deep into the Niagara Gorge, get you so close to the waterfalls that you basically get a free (and strong!) shower, especially on the appropriately named Hurricane Deck at the bottom of the American Falls. On this deck, you are only 20 feet (6 meters) from the Bridal Veil Falls! Admission for the Cave of the Winds experience is USD12 per person, the Maid Of The Mist is USD17.
In addition to these paid-for experiences, there is are several viewing points at the rim, one right in between the two American Falls (on Goat Island, a little Island that separates the American Falls from the Horseshoe Falls).
There is a hop-on hop-off trolley service in the Niagara State Park for only $2 per person if you have difficulties walking.
Winner: Canada, these views are just unbeatable!
The cities
Niagara Falls Canada
It's no secret that Jess and I weren't the biggest fans of this town when we visited the Canadian side in 2011. The city felt tacky, everything was set up to get every tourist dollar possible: haunted houses (seriously, who needs four haunted houses? Especially in a city that small.), wax museums, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Hershey's Chocolate World and many fast food chains.
If you can't entertain your kids with an awe-inspiring natural wonder, you'll get the chance to do that here (and spend lots of cash). Ironically, most of the chains who set up shop here are American, it seems like even they knew the Canadian side is the one that's bringing in the big bucks. For the grown-ups in need of additional entertainment, there are not one but TWO casinos to carry your money to.
The American side feels more tranquil, less crowded and less tacky – other than a Wax Museum of History, a haunted house and an aquarium, and the giant casino that's towering over all the other buildings, there is not much here. The town makes an effort though to provide some entertainment that you don't have to pay for and that's more family-friendly, like free board games, outdoor movie nights in the summer, concerts and even fitness events. You can find the entire program here.
I thought that there was much greener here, and it is known that you can go on better hikes along the Niagara River from here. This side is definitely right for you if you're planning a couple of hikes in addition to visiting the Falls. You can find some more details on the hiking options here.
Winner: Niagara Falls USA
Which side should you visit?
Absolutely no question: Visit both sides! I'd recommend planning in enough time to visit both Canada's and the American side to get the full Niagara experience. I thought it was very similar to my experience at Iguazu Falls – while I got to get a real close-up encounter with the Falls on the Argentinian side, the breathtaking vistas are what you only get from Brazil. At the Niagara Falls, you get the greatest views from Canada, but the better close-up experience from the U.S.
How to cross the border at Niagara Falls
Thanks to the Rainbow Bridge, which connects Canada and the U.S. right by the Falls, you can easily cross from one country into the other – as long as you pack your passport! Make also sure to check visa regulations for your country of origin. The toll to cross the bridge is 0.50 Cent if you cross on foot, but higher for cars, RVs and trucks. You can find the current prices here. If you visit the Falls with your car, there's no need for you to take it to the other side – you can just walk over the bridge and explore the Falls on foot, unless you aren't in good health.

Nordo's Notes - Friday From Camp
Eric Nordquist - @ericnordoKFAN
Minnesota Vikings Practice has just ended on this hot Friday, and here are some takeaways from the activities –
Players were in pads and shorts this afternoon, and practice didn't have the same pace and physical aspect that I saw yesterday. While there were plenty of action drills, a large focus was put on position technique. This leads up to tomorrow evening's scrimmage/practice at 7:30pm, where everyone should be suited up.
Safety Robert Blanton was sidelined earlier this week with a hamstring injury, and now it appears that Cornerback Josh Robinson is in the same boat. Both were seen at practice as spectators today, giving them one less day of reps in defensive system. With that said, Vikings Defensive Coordinator George Edwards was asked earlier today about how injuries may complicate installations during camp, and he didn't seem to be as worried about it as I was. Here's what he had to say:
"We have pretty much kept installations what it is and we kind of move forward. Throughout camp, we will still be installing. From that aspect of it we do not think that it will slow us down from there. Now, when the guys come back, they are going to be expected to know the same things. It is a little tougher when you have not been out there taking the reps at it, but from that aspect we expect them to be in tune mentally with the calls and the checks, the keys, the leads and the fundamentals of each position."
As of this moment, I haven't gotten any specific word to the severity of Robinson's hammy tweak. The defense, in my above average/below expert opinion, took a step forward again. For a team that lost a handful of games last season by giving up points in the final minute of regulation, everyone should look forward to what Head Coach Mike Zimmer and DC Edwards have up their sleeves. A lot of defensive players stood out today, speaking to the goal of added depth on that side of the ball.
Some thoughts on the QBs--Teddy has been impressive throughout his first offseason and camp, but he showed his inexperience today. The one interception he threw was due to a receiver falling down, but his trademark accuracy just didn't shine through for a majority of the drills and 11-on-11's. From my vantage point, it looked like he had a tough time with pressure today and acting quick enough to make solid throws. He struggled with hitting receivers in stride and overthrew a few receivers in deeper routes. Cassel, on the other hand, looked much more comfortable in all aspects and had a fairly nice afternoon. So, Teddy looked like a rookie, and Matt looked like a veteran. There it is.
In watching the quarterbacks, I'm about convinced that daily critiques of their performances may lead to a bad case of analytical paralysis. Vikings fans should be chomping at the bit for next Friday's preseason tilt against the Oakland Raiders, because that will truly be the first valid litmus test for rookie Teddy Bridgewater. Until next Friday, it will be a daily dose of comparing small details that nobody outside of Norv and Scott Turner can use to determine who holds the edge.

Yep, keep spending, Congress!
Keep running up those deficits and putting us deeper into debt! Keep making it more difficult for the dollar to actually gain its value back and for the economy to recover.
China, whose $2.45 trillion in foreign-exchange reserves are the world's largest, is turning bullish on Europe and Japan at the expense of the U.S.
The nation has been buying "quite a lot" of European bonds, said Yu Yongding, a former adviser to the People's Bank of China who was part of a foreign-policy advisory committee that visited France, Spain and Germany from June 20 to July 2. Japan's Ministry of Finance said Aug. 9 that China bought 1.73 trillion yen ($20.1 billion) more Japanese debt than it sold in the first half of 2010, the fastest pace of purchases in at least five years.
So if China starts dumping US Treasuries, how difficult will it be for the dollar to recover?
This is not my hedgehog, but it's someone's hedgehog, and it's cute.

And it looks like a happy hedgehog, even though it's not mine, and even though I want to steal that hedgehog and cuddle it. Prickles, my hedgie, would be happy too if I got him a huge cake. As it is, he tends to abscond with Oreos!
Yeah, I'm back. Shut it.
I realize my blogging is not as prolific as it has been in the past. There are several reasons for this – most of them lame – but I'm listing them here anyway.
- I have a life
- I have a job
- I'm working on a new project at said job that has me waking up at all sorts of odd hours, getting to work when most people aren't even considering waking up, and popping Ambien (it's prescribed and legal – shut it!) just to fall asleep early enough to be functional when I wake up.
- I have kids
- I have dog
Shall I go on?
I realize the maximum effective range of an excuse is… well… zero, but it's my blog. Deal with it.
Do I sound cranky? Well, I am.
Reason #1: Julian Assange is one of the biggest, most rancid assbags on the planet.
WikiLeaks spokesman Julian Assange said Thursday his organization is preparing to release the rest of the secret Afghan war documents it has on file. The Pentagon warned that would be more damaging to security and risk more lives than the organization's initial release of some 76,000 war documents.
That extraordinary disclosure, which laid bare classified military documents covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010, has angered U.S. officials, energized critics of the NATO-led campaign, and drawn the attention of the Taliban, which has promised to use the material to track down people it considers traitors.
The Pentagon says it believes it has identified the additional 15,000 classified documents, and said Thursday that their exposure would be even more damaging to the military than what has already been published.
Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell described the prospective publication as the "height of irresponsibility."
I'm all for freedom of the press. I understand and respect the importance of the First Amendment, and I fully support it. I do, however, believe that with freedom comes great responsibility, and just because you have access to certain information, doesn't mean you should publish it just because you can.
Assange has no idea how documents can be exploited and what kind of information can be gleaned from them by the enemy! He looks at these records, and he probably thinks, "So what! There's nothing here that's earth-shattering! I just want to show the world that governments need transparency and accountability!" Yeah, great. If the enemy can glean critical information about operating procedures just by rifling through trash, what the blazing fuck do you think they can do with nearly 100 thousand reports?
Again, just because you have the information, doesn't mean you should use it. I'm sure Assange is loving the attention right now, but in the end, all he's doing is hurting people with his complete lack of responsibility. And frankly, if one Soldier or civilian dies because of what this pestilent fuckbubble has exposed, here's hoping he burns in a special kind of hell for it.
Reason #2: Obama defends the right to build a mosque at Ground Zero.
This is again one of those things… Just because you have the right to do something, doesn't mean it's a decent idea.
Standing up for the right to put a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, President Obama on Saturday warned that the country risks losing its distinct identity if it ignores basic American values such as religious freedom.
Obama spoke about the proposed mosque for the second time in two days, breaking a long silence on the controversy.
He told reporters after an event in Florida that his purpose in speaking out was to "simply let people know what I thought."
Let's be honest here. The murdering sub-human scum that flew planes into those buildings were FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIMS. Yes, they were Muslims. Yes, they practiced the kind of Islam that likes to chop heads off its victims, dress women in gunny sacks, because God and Goddess forbid they tempt some hairy, goat-smelling motherfucker into raping them, and wants to subjugate non-believers. It is a bad kind of Islam, but it's Islam nonetheless, perverted though it may be.
And putting a mosque near that site is insulting, insensitive and downright indecent.
Yes, I know I'm the last one who should be talking about sensitivity issues, seeing as my idea of sensitivity involves actually refraining from punching someone who annoys me in the face, but really… this is a little much even for me. It's about as decent as us building a gargantuan monument to Fat Man and Little Boy in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Is it legal? I'm sure it is, although I'm no attorney, and I wouldn't know. Do they have a right to do it? Sure, I guess so. Not sure how the zoning laws work in NYC, but probably. Is it a matter of exercising freedom of religion? No. Fucking. Way. No one is preventing Muslims from exercising their faith in New York City, and prohibiting this mosque from being built wouldn't be a First Amendment violation. Preventing the erection of a structure does not in any way establish a national religion or prohibit the free exercise thereof. It's a zoning issue, nothing more. But hey – they have the right to build it, and that has apparently been confirmed. OK, fine. Let's go with that premise.
But is it decent to do so, right near a site where those who practice a version of your faith murdered thousands in cold blood? Is it right? I don't think so. This is not a matter of the free exercise of faith, it's just a matter of decency. The same people who go apeshit over some cartoons of Mohammed have absolutely no sense of sensitivity when it comes to shoving their faith into the faces of those to whom some practitioners of that faith did irrevocable harm. These same people who screech at the top of their lungs that the First Amendment shouldn't protect insults to their prophet have absolutely no problem using that same amendment to protect their lack of respect and sensitivity to those who were killed on my son's fourth birthday.
Hypocritical assholes.
Reason #3: Some conservative bloggers are just downright embarrassing. When asked for a list of the worst figures in American history, most of them came up with this?
The list, compiled from the responses of 43 right-of-center bloggers by John Hawkins:
* 23) Saul Alinsky
* 23) Bill Clinton
* 23) Hillary Clinton
* 19) Michael Moore
* 19) George Soros (8)
* 19) Alger Hiss (8)
* 19) Al Sharpton (8)
* 13) Al Gore (9)
* 13) Noam Chomsky (9)
* 13) Richard Nixon (9)
* 13) Jane Fonda (9)
* 13) Harry Reid (9)
* 13) Nancy Pelosi (9)
* 11) John Wilkes Booth (10)
* 11) Margaret Sanger (10)
* 9) Aldrich Ames (11)
* 9) Timothy McVeigh (11)
* 7) Ted Kennedy (14)
* 7) Lyndon Johnson (14)
* 5) Benedict Arnold (17)
* 5) Woodrow Wilson (17)
* 4) The Rosenbergs (19)
* 3) Franklin Delano Roosevelt (21)
* 2) Barack Obama (23)
* 1) Jimmy Carter (25)
Really? No Robert Hanssen, who sold sensitive information to the Russians? No Ted Bundy? No Jeffrey Dahmer? I would think that killing people and eating their body parts would at least earn you the consternation of the vast majority of Americans – more so than Barack Obama or even Skeletor Pelosi, ferpetessake!
Some perspective would be nice, people! As Jim Geraghty rightly points out:
I'm no fan of most of the Democrats on the list, and there are some good picks. But most of the modern political figures look ridiculous when we compare their actions to some of America's most really notorious figures.
No Charles Manson? Come on. You're really telling me Al Sharpton and Michael Moore outrank somebody like Jeffrey Dahmer, who ate people? Race-baiting and rabble-rousing outrank cannibalism?
Let's gain some perspective here, people. Really. Nancy Pelosi may be a daft, power hungry, clueless twit, but does she really deserve to be on the list of the worst figures in American history? When we knee-jerk into reactions such as the inclusion of the obese, unwashed, untalented and less than influential Michael Moore on the list of the worst figures in American history, is it any wonder that we get tainted with the broad brush of idiocy?
Reason #4: This crazy bitch needs to go away. Far away.
No, I'm not calling Justice Alito a crazy bitch. I'm calling Orly Taitz a crazy bitch. Although, I'm really questioning Alito's sanity on this one.
A request to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito by "birther" attorney Orly Taitz asking that $20,000 in sanctions against her be reversed was referred on Tuesday to the entire court.
U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land imposed the sanctions last year after he warned her and then gave her a time limit to explain why he shouldn't fine her in the September 2009 case of Capt. Connie Rhodes, who questioned the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency.
Taitz appealed the sanctions to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. That court upheld the sanctions in March, and Taitz sent an application for stay to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on July 8. Thomas denied it a week later.
Taitz then refiled it with Alito on Aug. 4. That request was referred on Tuesday to the entire nine-member court, the Supreme Court's website states.
The beauty of this nation is that even the crazies get their day in court. But why, oh why is this nutbag is being allowed to waste the time and resources of the U.S. judicial system?
There are other things that are pissing me off: the economy (no, you can't blame it on Bush any longer!), Rangel, Waters, the Congressional "swamp," the list goes on… No, I don't have PMS. I'm just kind of appalled at what's going on around us. And tired.
Averaging 3 hours of sleep is no way to spend your life. Trust me.
Just another reason
To abhor this talentless, classless, ignorant, attention-seeking, coke-snorting whore.
"I think it's important that people understand that it's a state of emergency for this place and this state," she said.
But Lady Gaga stopped short of dumping her Arizona tour dates like big name acts Kanye West and Rage Against the Machine who boycotted the state in protest of SB 1070.
Several notes here:
The spurious claim that this twat gazer actually thinks.
Would the "state of emergency" to which she refers be the slew of kidnappings, murders and other crimes committed by illegal aliens who cross the border into Arizona and wreak havoc in that state? And others…
Illegal aliens such as this piece of oozing ass drippings, who killed a nun while enjoying the federal catch and release program and driving drunk.
The man, Carlos Montano, a county resident, had been arrested by police twice before on drunk-driving charges, and on at least one of those occasions county police reported him to federal authorities.
"We have determined that he is in the country illegally. He has been arrested by Prince William County Police in the past," said Officer Jonathan Perok, a police spokesman, who said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was notified at the time of one of those arrests.
But hey – what's a dead nun in comparison to some kid Lady Gaga knows who had his brother deported? Really! Also note the refusal to put her money where her mouth is and cancel tour dates in Arizona. Because as much as she hates the state enforcing actual laws she certainly isn't willing to give up the cash for her principles!
Note to Lady Gaga: Put on some goddamn pants, and shut your yap until you've actually read the bill, you daft bint.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
negotiate when it is in the last Collection Agencies hand? I am looking for 48-60 month payoffs and it seems the collection agencies want 3-12 months. A lump sum is not an option.
There isn't a "one size fits all" answer to your question. It all depends upon the total debt, the age of the debt, the creditor, and your own financial situation.
In some instances (probably yours), the better strategy is to wear out the creditor such that the creditor is convinced that what you have to offer in terms of total amount and number of installments is the absolute best that the creditor can ever expect.
In other instances, the more effective strategy is to settle quickly but this usually requires a lump sum payment or conversely, financial statements showing you really don't have the financial resources to satisfy a potential judgment.Ask a similar question
If you can't come up with a lump sum, settlement isn't really an option. Settlement is about motivation & little monthly payments are not going to motivate a creditor. Once a creditor goes to the trouble to sue you, they know that when they get a judgment, they can attach your bank account & garnish your wages & unless you file bankruptcy, there isn't anything you can do to stop them!
Hope this perspective helps!Ask a similar question
My two cents: Based on my professional experience, I have seen creditors settle debts for pennies on the dollar AND take installment payments over period of time. For instance, one former client of mine owed $45K to AMEX and settled for 15 cents on dollar, or $6,750, and paid it over 61 days. Settlement occurred, in this case, when the debt was 11 months old. Point here is: there is no general rule--settlement will depend on various factors, age of debt, creditor/collection agency involved, etc.Ask a similar question
