Top 10 Haunted Hotels in the U.S.
1) Provincial Hotel
Part of this hotel, located in the French Quarter at 1024 Chartres Street, was once a Confederate hospital. In that part of the building, maids have reported seeing confederate soldiers and surgeons of the era. There are also reports of blood stains appearing and disappearing mysteriously on bedding in some rooms. There's even a report that once, as the elevator door opened onto the second floor, the entire hospital was in view.

2) Hotel Del Coronado
The Hotel del Coronado is a luxury hotel in the City of Coronado, just across the San Diego Bay from San Diego, California. It is one of the few surviving examples of an American architectural genre: the wooden Victorian beach resort. The hotel is located immediately behind the beach, facing the Pacific Ocean. It is the largest beach resort on the North American Pacific Coast.
A famous resident of the hotel is the purported ghost of Kate Morgan. In 1892, she checked into room 302 (then 3312, now 3327), to meet with her estranged husband Tom, but he never arrived. She was found dead on the steps going to the beach six days later. The case was declared a suicide, but forensic evidence processed more than a century later revealed she was shot.

3)Stanley Hotel
The Stanley Hotel is a 138-room Georgian hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. Located within sight of the Rocky Mountain National Park, the Stanley offers panoramic views of the Rockies.
In addition to its regular guests, the hotel is reported to play host to a number of otherworldly visitors. The most notable is F.O. Stanley himself who is most often seen in the lobby and the Billiard Room, which was his favorite room when he was still alive. On one such occasion, he was said to have appeared during a tour group's visit to the Billiard Room, materializing behind a member of the tour. Bartenders at the old hotel also report having seen F.O. stroll through the bar, disappearing when they try to cut him off at the kitchen.
The neoclassical hotel was the inspiration for the fictional Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's novel The Shining. While he and his wife were staying at the Stanley, King conceived the basic idea for the novel.

4)Le Pavilion Hotel
Built in 1907, Le Pavillon New Orleans Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America and maintains membership in the Leading Hotels of the World. It is located at 833 Poydras Street in downtown New Orleans.
At least four ghosts have been identified enjoying the hospitality of Le Pavilion Hotel. The hotel hired professional paranormal investigators at one point to identify the ghosts.

Completed in 1927, the Heathman Hotel was replete with details evoking the Italian Renaissance and opened to reviews heralding its "surprising beauty" and a restaurant that was named the "finest in the city". Oregon Governor I.L. Patterson and Mayor George Baker joined owner, George Heathman, for a formal debut on December 17th, and radio station KOIN's studios featured a live band and orchestral pieces.
Ask old-timers about ghosts at the Heathman Hotel in Portland, Ore., and they will all eventually mention Room 703. During a visit in 1999, a celebrity psychic staying in room 803 claimed to see a ghost at the end of her bed. "The hauntings have all taken place in the column of rooms between 303 and 1003. My theory is that someone once jumped to their death and is haunting the rooms he passed on the way down," said the psychic, Char.

6)Carolina Inn
Recognized as one of America's "cultural resources worthy of preservation," The Carolina Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
From the day it opened in 1924, the Inn has played an important role in the life of the University of North Carolina and the Chapel Hill community. And it has long been one of the most popular sites in North Carolina for special events, weddings, business meetings, and academic conferences.
Local legend has it that the ghost of Carolina professor and longtime inn resident William Jacocks has steadfastly retained his rights to room 252, long after his death, to taunt its future occupants.

7)Sagamore Hotel
The Sagamore in Bolton Landing has had reports of haunting since the 1950's. This hotel has been in Bolton Landing for more than 100 years. Guests and staff have reported three different apparitions. A small boy, a woman in white, and a couple of lovers have been seen.

8)Cresent Hotel
The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa has a rich and fascinating history. Read about some of the earliest accounts from these stories taken from the Eureka Springs Times Echo, one of Eureka Springs' early newspapers which is still in existence today and some fascinating information on Dr. Norman Baker, one time owner of the Crescent Hotel who ran a "Cancer Hospital" in his "Castle in the Air".
Millions have now seen the incredible footage of the full-size male paranormal apparition caught on thermographic videotape by the Sci-Fi Channel's "Ghost Hunters." Thousands more have actually visited "the morgue" where it was "captured." And during October, a few can have the opportunity to sleep in these lower-level series of rooms that are said to be one of the most active areas here in "America's Most Haunted Hotel," The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa.

9)Ramada Plaza Hotel
The Ramada Plaza Hotel is a historical landmark hotel in the heart of downtown Fond du Lac, Wisconsin within walking distance of shopping, entertainment and restaurants.
Rumor has it that Walter Schoreder (past owner) was murdered on the property and haunts the hotel. He likes to turn on the faucets, lights, bangs on the walls, screams, and people report seeing his apparition.
Visit Official Site
10)Queen Mary Hotel
After her retirement in 1967, she steamed to Long Beach, California on the west coast of the United States, where she is now permanently moored as a tourist attraction. From 1980 to 1993, the Queen Mary was accompanied by Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose, which was located in a large dome nearby (the dome is used by Carnival Cruise Lines as a ship terminal as well as a soundstage).
Ghosts have been reported on board only after she reached California. Many areas are rumored to be haunted. Reports of hearing little children crying in the nursery room, actually used as the third-class playroom, and a mysterious splash noise in the drained first-class swimming pool are cited. In 1966, 18-year-old fireman John Pedder was crushed by a watertight door in the engine room during a drill, and his ghost is said to haunt the ship.

: Bleaching hair
Is it damaging to bleach the end of curly hair?
I went CG 4 days ago, but I've always considered bleaching my hair for that ombré effect. Would this damage my quite frizzy hair? Should I wait untill I have healthier hair? (as a result of weeks with the CGM)
Also, is it damaging to straighten my roots? I'm not too happy with them :-)
- Type 2, I think 2B
- Porosity - very low
- Density - medium-high
- Hair width - coarse
- Length - Long
- Rarely oily hair, I can not wash my hair for 1 week ++

'Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers seeing that
there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going
back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of
monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone
catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each!
However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant
would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. 'Look
at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I
will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you
can sell them to him for $50 each.' The villagers rounded up with all their
savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again, only lots and
lots of monkeys! Now you have a better understanding of how the stock
market works.'
Story is not finished yet.
...Villagers went to the city and asked the man, why he disappeared.
Man told them that he lost all the money and cannot buy more monkeys.
Villagers collected some money from surrounding villages to help that man
so he can continue his business of buying monkeys. Now you have a better
understanding of how bailout works.

How to patch up these small drywall holes in the ceiling?
1 Attachment(s)
I wasn't expecting these. I was getting rid of my current kitchen's old lights and putting in a bunch of recessed lights. After I took out the current big ceiling light I found that there are a bunch of holes in there. The biggest one is 1" diameter, the rest are like 1/2".
Also, the center peeling paint looks like original which was from 1957. I assume it's the lead paint. :mad:
How to patch up the holes? And what to do with the peeling paint? Thanks!
Scrape off the loose paint and skim coat the area with drywall compound, let dry, knock off any high spots and skim coat again with very thin coat, . Then sand off with a fine dry wall sanding sponge. Then prime and paint.
For the lead-paint safety: a nosha approved facemask and gloves - thoroughly vacuum when you're done . . . and vacuum some more.
I've found it best to remove as many items from the room as possible before scraping to ease this cleanup process.
But you shouldn't have too much if you're working in a small area.
For those 1" or 1/2" diameter holes, can I just use compound to plug it? Or do I have to enlarge it a bit to use a larger piece of dry wall to plug it?
A 1" hole is nothing. I've patched holes much larger than that. Pack some mud in it, scrape it smooth with a putty knife, let dry, sand, done.
for the question of lead paint find out for sure .lowes and home creepo sells a test kit for about 20 dollars ,easy to use you will know right away.they have a web site and you can find testing video on youtube .with that said i doubt its lead paint .but hey what do i know:huh:. anywho how i handle holes of that size ill use 45 set its a quick setting mud mix with water. but you can use reg. joint compound. ok this is key:yes: , as for the holes depress in the holes slightly with the round end of a screw driver or the handle end of your putty knife,only slightly .depending on the size you could just skim over it wait till it dry and skim over it again .also i have tore a small piece of paper towel covered it it the mud balled it up and pushed it in the hole then skimmed over it . your going to have to skim over the perimeter of where the old light was ,a very light skim .if you take your time and sand prime and paint , it will turn out beautiful:) .for this i would use a high quality washable flat:wink:.
:thumbup:I agree, with ltd. use handle of knife or screwdriver to push everything hanging out of holes so they taper into the holes. use mud, right out of can/bucket, no mixing or thinning. apply mud by slapping it into the holes hard. making it go completely through hole and leave a good on top. when you see the mud begin to nipple out of hole, place a piece of drywall tape over hole, use your finger and push the tape and mud back in forming a dimple. let dry, as it dries it will suck the tape deeper into hole. then coat again, another piece of tape in a cross form. coat over both pieces of tape with bowed trowel, and taper to your satisfaction.
when you're happy? sand lightly and paint good quality paint.
without the tape, when mud is completely dry in say a couple weeks or a month? you'll see a hairline crack all around the hole.
as always, just my thoughts.
take what helps? ignore the rest!
If you have any fiberglass tape laying around you can cut a small ball and shove it in the 1" hole. Have had great success with this method and less cracking in the long run.

Diablo 3 - Preset Attributes Editorial @ Diii.net
In the third of a series called On the Drawing Board, Diii.net examines Blizzard's decision to use preset attribute progression in Diablo III. Here's the intro:
The Blizzcon announcement that they'd removed player-customized attributes, and that D3 items would not have attribute requirements to equip, caused a huge stir of controversy. Blizzard said it made the game easier to balance and kept noobs from wrecking their characters. Angry players lamented the loss of character customization and the "training wheels" approach to D3. Approving players said they'd never liked attributes in the first place and pointed out that everyone on Battle.net has the same build anyway. There were more arguments than just those, of course, and they're all summarized in this installment of On the Drawing Board.

Open Line Friday Caller Of The Day – Big Ron's Joke! [AUDIO]
Open Line Friday, you never know what you're gonna get! We were all over the board today, people early on were calling about that whacko church group protesting military funerals. We had our fair share of "shout outs", and later in the morning we had a few calls about what is or is not "Country music".
All of them were good and we may get more into those topics in out articles here on WGNA.COM, but for me today, I think I just needed a little light hearted levity. SO i picked this to be the call of the day.
If you missed it, "Big Ron" calls every week and usually tells a joke, but he likes to make it sound like it's a real life story so the punch line sneaks up on you. Now, this isn't the best joke in the world , as most clean ones aren't, but I bet you use it on someone else today.
Here is the call, just click the play button and enjoy!

Mother and Sons Killed in House Fire; Neighbors Trying to Cope
It's an unthinkable tragedy... but neighbors say they're trying to learn from it, as they begin to heal.
On Saturday, a mother and her four sons died in a house fire, and now, neighbors are protecting their own homes in hopes a tragedy like this doesn't happen again.
Nothing is left of the mobile home in Ocala that caught on fire Saturday morning, killing Tabetha Belanger and her four sons... 6-year-old Hunter, 4-year-old Nicholas, 2-year-old Michael and 2-month-old Aron.
Officials' latest findings: The victims were alive when the fire started, but they aren't releasing the official cause of death yet.
It hasn't been released yet whether or not the 800-square-foot home had working smoke detectors.
Firefighters say... they will provide and install smoke alarms for citizens who can't afford them free of charge.

I have a P229 less than one year old and a P239 less than 3 months old and I'm completely satisfied with their performance.
Curious as to what the catastrophic failures were? I googled it and no mention anywhere of a problem with any Sig - as a matter of fact most police links highly recommend it!
My son prefers the Glock to the Sig as a combat weapon but that is because of it's durability. Drop it in the mud, full of sand, 120 degrees outside and it still fires. He prefers the Sig for a patrol carry weapon though and hates the Berretta.
The Mosquito is a .22 - everyone has problems with .22's - usually it's the ammo they feed it. The P238 had a recall after Sig identified a problem with the safety - they called them back and are repairing the weapons. Hell even Honda and Toyota have recalls.
Don't count them out so quick shootingftw

Mokhiber: Ari, could I follow up on that? According to the Washington
Post yesterday in an article titled "Sharon's Action in 1982 Massacre
Stirs New Debate," this whole issue was triggered by a BBC Documentary
called "The Accused."
This is the key point of evidence that they raised. During the BBC
program, Morris Draper, the U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East at the
time, said U.S. officials were horrified when Sharon had allowed
Phalange militias in the camps, "because it would be a massacre,"
according to Draper.
And this is Draper. He told the BBC that after the killings began, he
cabled Sharon, telling him "You must stop the slaughter. This situation
is absolutely appalling. They are killing children. You have the field
completely under your control and are therefore responsible for that
And that's why Human Rights Watch wants a criminal investigation.
Does the President support a criminal investigation, given that
Ari Fleischer: I think the very fact that the President is meeting this
afternoon at the Oval Office with the duly elected leader of a
democratic nation speaks for itself about what the President will do and
what the President supports.

It is wrong to accuse Clinton of "pay for play" when the available evidence doesn't support that accusation. And if Sanders wants to hold her to a standard of absolute purity, he should apply that same measure to himself.
Here's the game. The reporter who breaks the story that brings down Hillary — wins.
Name-brand Texas politicians such as Gov. Greg Abbot and Sen. Ted Cruz have made fools of themselves by lending plausibility to what is essentially a mass psychiatric delusion.
In his New York Times column today, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman criticized Obama for going easy on the bankers. Krugman's complaints are part of a broader frustration among progressives that Obama is too close to Wall Street and big banks. But this particular column had an unusual booster: Obama's 2008 presidential opponent John McCain. […]

Robert Griffin III Raps About Pop Rocks & Tootsie Pops
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III married Rebecca Liddicoat on Saturday. To celebrate, they decided to make a rap video that praised Pop Rocks and Tootsie Pops.
Then, they shared it with the world.
Watch the video. Griffin is wearing a mask and he is backed by his wife and another woman. This is probably not how every star quarterback spends his offseason.

Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
I have a pretty annoying grinding noise that happens usually at very slow speeds. It is strange as it seems to happen right after moving from a stop, and right before shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. It will also grind continuously if I'm going about 10 miles per hour and keep the rpm just right (like right before a shift, but not enough rpm to let it shift). Once I let off the gas, or if i shift to neutral, the noise immediately goes away. It makes no noise when in park and revving the engine.
I am thinking it has something to do with the differential. The transmission seems to shift fine, i haven't noticed any slipping or clunks with it.
Could low differential fluid or improper fluid ratios cause this problem?
I have a 99 WJ V8 w/ Quadradrive, which uses the special fluid....
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
It could be a problem with a few things, since you said it only happens when moving I will stick with driveline parts that move the vehicle. I would check both the transfer case and differentials for low fluid and any problems with the fluid. If you haven't changed them its probably a good idea to do it anyway. The transfer case takes Mopar NV247 transfer case fluid, also known as mobil fluid 424 or amsoil has an equivalent hydraulic tractor fluid. It takes less than 2 quarts so it can be done for $20 or less yourself. The diffs take synthetic 75w-140 gear oil, nothing really special but you may need a limited slip additive (although many leading sythetic gear oil makers say an additive is included, such as royal purple, amsoil, mobil, and valvoline). I have heard different stories on whether extra additive is needed for quadradrive, so far mine have been ok on RP, but I will be going to amsoil soon. Diff oil is a little more expensive, about $30-40 per axle (about 1.5 qts for the front and close to 2 qts for the rear)
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
A dealer should have the right fluids to use, depends on the outside shop if they care enough to look up the right specs and use the right fluid. They SHOULD but.... they cut corners sometimes too. The transfer case can be done on the ground, but you have to lift the body up so the axles drop enough that you can get to the diff cover to remove it. Otherwise its regular bolts on the diff covers and hex plugs on the tcase. Just pull the fill plug to make sure it comes out (upper plug) and then remove the drain plug with a pan underneath. Once drained you can fill it back up with a cheap fluid pump from the auto store. But if you aren't sure about it it would be best brought to a shop. Out of curiosity you don't happen to live in MN do you?
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
Sounds like its gonna cost $500 or more to have a shop or the dealer do the transfer case and diffs fluid replacements. And another $300 or more if I do a transmission fluid replacement too. Being that i'll probably be ordering a 2014 in December or January, I think i'll pass on the issues for now.
Could I just buy some oil and fluid and fill the transfer case and diffs if they are getting low? Anyway to tell if they are low? Can I just fill to the top and call it good?
I do remember a shop telling me a while ago that the diff and/or transfer case both had leaks....
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
You can certainly top them off if they are low. Again for how cheap it is I would recommend just draining and refilling the transfer case, $20 for fluid and its only 2 quarts. If you can crawl under the truck on the ground you can do it. Either way, fill it until some fluid starts dribbling out of the fill hole. You can do that for the diffs but that would be slightly over full (maybe not a bad idea if they are leaking) otherwise they should be about 1/4" to 1/2" below the fill holes if I remember correctly.
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
If you did your oil changes before, i would say that T-case and diffs are not a big deal to do yourself as well. I do it myself as well and its no rocket sience by far:D
As Aaron said, T-case is just removing the fill plug and then the drain plug (only in that order to prevent to end up with an empty T-case and a rotten in place fill plug), Just fill it up until it starts overflowing.
For the diffs there is no drain plug, you have to remove the cover and need RTV to seal it again when installing. Only for the rear you have to jack it up a bit to get access to the upper cover bolts, but for the rest nothing difficult. Takes you less then an hour per diff working slowly and saves you big money and gives a good feeling when done.
You could ofcourse just fill it all up and call it the day and keep an eye on the level once in a while.
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
Thanks guys, can you give me a list of what oil/fluids and quantity I need for the transfer case and diffs? Any types/brands you would recommend? Can I get these at any parts store?
Can I fill diffs (not replace) without having to jack anything up? Are the fill plugs accessible from underneath when on the ground as normal?
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
Also, the diffs don't have a rubber gasket? Just RTV? Anything special when applying that? Just make sure it goes around all the way with no gaps?
Now that we are talking about it, it really doesn't sound that difficult... so why are shops trying to charge $150-250 per diff/tc to do it??? Does it really take them a couple hours to do each? Wouldn't seem likely, especially with a lift.
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
They charge that much because they can. lol. You need 2 quarts of fluid for the transfer case, the dealer is the best bet for that otherwise if you can find mobil 424 it will work as well, but I haven't seen that at any parts stores by me. The gear oil is a 75w-140 weight, and make sure to get synthetic. 4 quarts is enough to do both diffs with about 1/2 a quart left over. You will need to jack it up to get at the top bolts on the rear end, but you shouldn't need to for the front. You can always get a siphon pump to remove the gear oil from the diffs but that can be a long process with how thick gear oil is and doesnt ensure all the old fluid is out. Black RTV will work perfect to seal up the cover to the diff, just make sure to get a good bead all around and let it cure for a bit before adding oil. My trick is to pull one cover off, drain, clean, and reseal it, then go do the same on the other axle. Then go back and fill up the first one and then fill the second. You could even do the tcase in between sealing and filling the diffs. If they are leaking from around the cover like you said I would definitely go with taking the covers off rather than the siphon method, I heard from someone that the shops will do the siphon rather than deal with taking the covers off. :glare:
Re: Grinding Noise... low differential fluid?
1. What do I need to lift the rear end? Will the stock jack work, or should I go buy a floor jack? Where do I put the Jack to lift in the rear?
2. You mentioned "cleaning" the diffs... what is involved in that. Wash out with water, let dry, etc? Or avoid water, and just use a towel to wipe out?
3. I have heard this transfer case needs a special fluid.. its quadradrive (NV247 I believe)... where do I get that and what ratios do I use? Or will the Mobil 424 work without adding additive?
4. Lastly, is there any write-ups anywhere with details on either of these jobs?
Thanks so much again guys!

West Papua is a place far away inhabited by people of whom we know little. Unfortunately, these people lack oil in their country so why would anyone in the western world give a damn what happens to them. They are ruled by Indonesia and several thousand inhabitants rallied to express their displeasure with being ruled by a colonial power which denied them basic rights. Security personnel(it is amusing how today we term thugs, "security personnel," fired into the crowd killing several people and then arrested dozens.
The Indonesian Minister of Security, Djoko Suyanto, justified these murders on grounds his nation faced violence. "The police raided the rally because it was already considered a coup d'etat" and West Papuans refused to recognize the president of Indonesia as their president.
There are no reports of any West Papuans possessing weapons. A rather interesting coup d'etat without weapons.

World-Class Brands Line Up Behind AOL's New Innovative Format In Display Advertising
Sep 27, 2010
Leading Creative and Industry Icons Work Together with AOL to Re-Imagine Relationship between Online Advertising, Creativity and Content
Research Shows Project Devil Ads Outperform Standard Display Ads in Consumer Likeability and Ad Effectiveness Metrics
NEW YORK, NY – September 27, 2010 – AOL Inc. (NYSE: AOL) announced today that seven of the world's leading consumer brands have signed on as founding partners for AOL's new display advertising format. The new "Project Devil" ad system, designed and developed with creative input from some of the most well-known and respected people and agencies in the advertising industry, radically improves the aesthetic quality, impact and interactivity of online ads in ways that better promote the beauty of advertising and significantly enhance the consumer experience.
Founding partners include General Mills brands Cheerios® and Pillsbury® Crescents, Lexus, Macy's, Procter & Gamble's Olay, Sprint, and Unilever's Suave Professionals.
"We're incredibly excited that such a stellar lineup of world-class brands are as enthusiastic as we are about Project Devil and the creative evolution of the Internet that it represents. Our partners see that, more than just a new ad unit, this is a re-imagining of the intersection between content, advertising and the consumer experience," said Tim Armstrong, AOL's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Project Devil addresses the traditional limitations of online advertising head on to create ads that look better and work better for agencies and advertisers. It raises the standard for publishers and advertisers to improve the experience for consumers, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive."
The new Project Devil ad format will launch September 27 at the start of Advertising Week 2010 on AOL's Moviefone.com and StyleList.com before rolling out across other AOL properties. In a departure from traditional display advertising, the new format offers a large ad space segmented into interactive panels, allowing advertisers to customize different streams of functionality within one interface. With one large, visually striking ad per page, Project Devil eliminates distractions and clutter to streamline consumer focus and guarantees 100% share-of-voice to the advertiser. The result is a canvas that allows for optimal expression of creativity, customizable usability and a consistent, engaging and beautiful experience for users.
Within the unit, there are three panels that can be customized with media streams and applications including video, slideshows, mapping, 3-D rotation, quizzes, polls, text messaging and other options. Every ad is fully interactive, eliminating the need for consumers to navigate away from the page to explore its features.
"Devil changes the ad model from interrupt to interact," said Amanda Richman, EVP, Managing Director at MediaVest. "Instead of competing with content and attempting to divert the user's attention, these ads become part of the content experience."Creative Consortium for New Aesthetic Standards in Online Advertising
Project Devil was developed over six months in partnership with the Creative Consortium, a group of top innovators from leading digital and creative agencies across the industry guided by the shared desire to create a new aesthetic standard for online advertising. AOL incorporated the Consortium's feedback and ideas into the design and development of Project Devil, which will continue to evolve as a new system for display advertising.
"Fundamentally, display advertising had not evolved a great deal over the past decade. Project Devil re-imagines not only the look and feel of display advertising but also its place on the page," said Barry Wacksman, EVP and Chief Growth Officer of R/GA, and a member of the Creative Consortium. "There is a great opportunity for creative liberty with this canvas and it represents the first phase of the next iteration of online display advertising."
Other members of the Creative Consortium include:
• Ben Palmer, CEO and Co-founder of the Barbarian Group
• Shenan Reed, Managing Director and Founder of Morpheus Media
• Matt Seiler, CEO of Universal McCann
• Darren Herman, Chief Digital Media Officer of Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners
• Dani Nadel, President, Publicis Modem USA
• Nancy Hill, President and CEO, 4A's
Early Quantitative Research Validates Devil System: Users 18% More Engaged
To study the effect of Devil ads, comScore conducted pre-launch quantitative research that was fielded to 1,500 participants.
The study reveals that Project Devil ads on Web pages lift overall user engagement; consumers spend an average of 18% more time on the page when a Devil ad is present versus when a standard 300X250 ad is present.
As expected, greater engagement and larger ad size helps advertisers deliver more effective communication: 65% of respondents rated Devil ads as "easier to understand" and 77% felt the ad "gave more new information." The cumulative effect is that advertisers can make a greater brand impact with Devil ads: 63% said that Devil ads "made me feel better about the brand" while 68% said the ads "made me want to buy the brand."
Countering the intuition that larger ads are automatically more intrusive, 61% of respondents in the study felt that a Web page is "more visually appealing" when the Devil ad appears. Fifty-eight percent said that the Devil ad "made the overall Web page better."

By now it is likely that you have heard about The Tiger's Wife, the debut novel from Tea Obreht. The advance praise this book has received is just short of the "I have seen the future of rock and roll, and his name is Bruce Springsteen" hoopla that preceded the release of Born to Run. And while The Tiger's Wife is not the greatest rock album of all time, it is one hell of a book, and certainly deserving of all the attention it has received.
From The New York Times to The Christian Science Monitor to The Los Angeles Times and every possible publication in between, The Tiger's Wife has been touted as THE book of 2011. No doubt part of the reason lies with story of the author herself: at 25, Serbian-born and US-raised Obreht is the youngest member of The New Yorker's "20 Under 40," a group of young writers the magazine has subtly labeled "the future of American fiction." I don't know about the rest of the group, but if The Tiger's Wife is any indication, they are dead-on in Obreht's case.
The novel's narrator is a young physician named Natalia who is on her way to treat orphans in a neighboring Balkan country after years of civil war when she learns that her beloved grandfather has died. Her memories of him and her quest to discover the circumstances of his death are interwoven with the folktales he used to tell her on their trips to the zoo in "The City," an unnamed place that is obviously her stylized version of Belgrade. Two of these tales form the second and third plot lines of the book: the story of the deathless man and the story of the tiger's wife.
"Everything necessary to understand my grandfather lies between two stories," Natalia says, "the story of the tiger's wife, and the story of the deathless man. These stories run like secret rivers through all the other stories of his life — of my grandfather's days in the army; his great love for my grandmother; the years he spent as a surgeon and a tyrant of the University."
I won't go into any detail about the two tales here; part of the joy of this book is encountering them for the first time. Because one thing is clear from the first few pages: Obreht is a magician with language. Her prose is beautiful without being flowery, and the pacing of the novel changes slightly to fit each of the separate stories perfectly. Through this gift with language she shows us the importance of stories and storytelling in the lives of individuals and communities.
The Tiger's Wife is the kind of book you savor, get lost in, and are sad when it's over, wishing it had gone on for a hundred pages more. Hopefully we will see many more novels from this fine young writer, because (to paraphrase the line quoted above) I have seen the future of literature, and her name is Tea Obreht.
"When you sell a man a book you don't sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue — you sell him a whole new life." - Christopher Morley, "Parnassus on Wheels"

Police have released CCTV images after two men forced a female shop-assistant into a changing cubicle and demanded money.
The incident happened at Ross and Co women's clothing shop in Muswell Hill on Monday October 8.
While the suspects were still in the shop a woman walked in and paid them cash for a scarf, not realising a robbery was being carried out.
No weapon was used and the victim was not injured but was left very shaken up by the incident.
The suspects left in the direction of Fortis Green holding a green ladies holdall taken from the shop, a small amount of cash from the till and the shop-assistant's cigarettes.
The suspects are both described as being black men, aged about 23 years and approximately 6ft tall.
One of the suspects was wearing a distinctive multi-coloured jacket and the other was wearing a green three-quarter length jacket with a hood.
Detective Constable John Martin, Haringey CID, said: "If you recognise the men in the pictures or saw these men on Monday 8 October at around midday onwards, please contact police.
"I also am very keen to speak with the lady that came into the shop and paid the suspects for a scarf that she bought. She wasn't given a receipt and later returned to the shop to get one. If this was you, please contact police so that we can further our investigation."
Anyone that recognises the men in the images or has any information is asked to contact DC Martin of Haringey CID on 020 8345 0712. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Product Highlights
You're on the lookout for the Epson 69 T069320 magenta ink cartridge. Therefore, you most certainly own one of the numerous compatible Epson WorkForce and Stylus inkjet printers that are listed under our "Compatibility" tab. If it's an at-home printer, then perhaps you are in possession of the Epson Stylus NX515, an extraordinarily fast printer concentrated on home use, according to PCMAG's review.
As an Epson product, this printer has undoubtedly delivered on the expectations you had when you decided to choose it to complete your printing needs. However, there still exists one concern: the issue of replacing empty Epson ink cartridges. You might be convinced that the costly original Epson cartridges are the only way to go to preserve the exceptional printing capabilities exclusive to Epson printers. But, LINKYO is here to tell you that is not an accurate assessment because our remanufactured Epson T069320 ink cartridges can give you the same productivity at an inexpensive cost.
At LINKYO, we're dedicated to our green-oriented attitude toward the environment – ergo, we do what we can to make our products recyclable to help minimize landmass wastes. Also, we are proud of the process that we've developed and implemented for producing our remanufactured ink cartridges. This process begins with the attentive selection of recycled manufacturer cartridges that are acceptable by our high standards. After this, the cartridges are expunged entirely, removing all ink and dirt particles. Then, the cartridges are loaded with industry-standard printer ink. Before being sent to your doorsteps, the remanufactured cartridges are inspected to assure that they are ready to be popped into your inkjet printers. Through this process, we are able to make available a substitute for stock manufacturer cartridges that will accomplish printing jobs with the same efficacy. We are so confident in our remanufactured ink cartridges' ability to take the place of original manufacturer cartridges that we back them up with a 2-year satisfaction guarantee. Finally, and most importantly, we are able to provide this product for you at an amazing low price.
Thus, if your magenta ink cartridge is running low and you could afford to eliminate a few hundred dollars from your Epson inkjet printer's related expenses, then LINKYO has the optimal solution for you in our remanufactured Epson 69 T069320 magenta ink cartridge.
"Customers should recognize that because of changes in printer programming, cartridges that are evidently full might be read as low or empty."

SSU Sticky Mess or No...
I sell paint as some of you know. I recently gave a gallon of our Single Stage Urethane and the activator to a painter to try out. I have not seen his facilities but I think there is no booth. He painted a frame and the color is black. Anyway after he painted it he complained that there was overspray everywhere and the floor was sticky for a while. He says other brands he's sprayed don't do that.
Now, I have sprayed alot of SSU. In the past 3 years it's been our brand and it does create alot more sticky overspray than base/clear or even enamels. The floor does get sticky with stuff stuck to my shoes during subsequent coats, especially with items being sprayed close to the ground. I still shoot mostly with a conventional gun but I do have a booth. But before 3 years ago I shot PPG DAU and DuPont Imron with EXACTLY the same phenomina. I remember actually having a slippery build up of DAU on my shoes after shooting a 38 Ford.
So, I contend that this is just the nature of SSU in general and not brand specific. SSU is just much stickier to spray.
So what is your opinion? Is it true that SSU in general makes a mess of the surroundings or am I just totally off?
I agree Larry, all the SS urethane paints I've shot were like glue on the floor, like the old enamel days. Dupont's Chroma One was always the worst-thick stuff and needed some high pressures to break it up causing more overspray than normal.
Last ssu (nason) i shot was simular. Same as a clear job. Takes awhile for it to flash off for sure.
Question as well would be the temp he's shooting in also.
It would depend a lot on how much air flow in the spray area and how much atomization he had with the gun. You could create a lot of that overspray with just a change in gun adjustment. Different paints? I don't think there is going to be a noticable difference unless there was a big VOC difference. I never thought about it, but if you were to spray a 5.0 VOC urethane and a 3.5 VOC urethane, I would have to assume there will be more sticky overspray with the 3.5? Just a hunch, like I said never thought about it before.
All I know is, spraying ANY urethane, clear, color, whatever, without a booth you ARE going to have EVERYTHING in that area covered with sticky overspray.
How about when the bottoms of your shoes are so covered with overspray and dirt and stuff that they are no longer flat on the bottoms? You have that "Rocking horse" lumpy deal going on.
Larry I spray the Valspar Omega 2k 840 SS and have never had that problem.
I do have good guns / setup correctly.
I think if your shoes and the floor are getting sticky then you need to look
at gun technique. The paint is meant to go on the car.. not the floor, not
you. Not all over the place.. lol that just too funny are you for real ?
The SSU can be difficult to spray so most folks will up the pressure.
Key to getting it to flow out is "Metal Temp" get the metal temp
up to 65 degrees and life will be good, assuming the paint is mixed / reduced correctly.
The gfg plus gun with a 1.4 tip running 26psi will work good for ssu
also the Iwata lph400-lv gun with a 1.4 tip running 16 to 20 psi will do
even better. The fan is huge on the Iwata so its the best of the two guns
One other thing is Dont bomb SSU on.. go slow with it. Bomb it on to reduce
orange peel and the crap will go everywhere. The Orange Peel will go away
if the metal temp is up to snuff so no need to go wild with air pressure.
The last SSU I sprayed with was PPG Global. The overspray was much less sticky than the PPG SSU Omni I sprayed another vehicle with. The Omni overspray stuck to everything in my shop.
I had to shoot a big boat trailer frame years and years ago at work. All rails were sandblasting, including a ways inside, and needed to make sure I got some primer and paint shot inside the rails, not to mention crawling underneath the thing and the amount brackets and other things to get paint on. Crawling underneath, moving pressure pot, ect, fun stuff. It was a good part of the day affair shooting that in the booth, and of course it was singlestage (I can just imagine what it would have been like to go back and shoot again with clear). Shop used dupont, but can't remember if it was imron or something else I used. I felt like a fly on stuck to flypaper, sticking to the floor crawling underneath the thing and painting. That one I know ranks right up there with the least favorite things I had to paint. I shoot mostly base clear at home, and for awhile didn't have much ventilation. Don't remember the floor ever getting all that sticky. Never thought of it, but you may be on to something.
Well, according to X711, we are both dumb arses. I really don't get that, it is a kinda "known" thing to have a sticky floor and such from spraying a Urethane SS, as well as Acrylic Enamel and a number of other things. If it is a car body...yeah..maybe more ends up on the car but if you have a garage full of overspray, a heck of a lot ends up on everything in the garage. And if you are spraying frames and what not, a LOT ends up on the floor and you.
I don't know, I guess we have a lot to learn.
I've got to chime in and oppose the X 7/11 employee myself.
I completely agree, SS is sticky stuff, I've sprayed several brands (slick, and correctly!) on cars, frames, industrial engines, and even a few wrecker booms. It has actually gotten to the point that my wife can tell, by the sound of my shoes, when I step into the laundry room."Have you been spraying that paint that doesn't get clear again?" It doesn't matter if the booth (and car or other "metal temp") is 110 degrees or 65 degrees, the stuff is just sticky! Yah, I suppose, out of the booth, at lower pressure you'll make the over-spray travel a little less, but it will still be sticky around the car, regardless of spray technique.
I also do not advise using a gun with a "huge" fan when spraying a frame!
Thanks for the experiences guys.
It appears that most have experienced an increase in 'sticky mess' when using SSU as compared to base/clear systems. Possibly at different levels of severity. So at least I'm not totally out of line saying SSU is naturally messier than other systems. Seems that stickiness and mess is probably a function of a few issues. Namely amount of overspray, color, speed of activator, temperature, and item sprayed. Of course the item sprayed can release more crap into air because of edges, like spraying a car in pieces. I think a slower activator will cause the stickiness to last longer as would lower temps. Darker colors probably just look worse than lighter colors on the floor and tools and benches. And of course keeping the overspray down will probably really help.
X711, I am for real as you already know. I get very satisfactory result in terms of lack of orange peel and quality of job. But for me that entails using a conventional gun and of course more overspray. I do get the shoe buildup on larger jobs or frames and the like just like Brian says. It doesn't bother me much but it appears to bother the guy who tried it enough to think something is wrong with the product. I'm going to point him to this thread so he can see that it's not a product issue and possible tricks to reduce the sticky mess. Like I said, I've never seen his shop but I'm guessing no booth, conventional gun, paint volume turned up and narrow pattern to get those inside corners on a frame, and wide pattern on the straightaways. Basically, a ton of spray in the air.
I'm going to get that Iwata gun for base/clear anyway but I've tried the SSU with my SataJet 2000 and my Sate RP but I get the best results (meaning smooth, I hate sanding peel) with my trusty old conventional Sata or Devilbiss JGA502. So I'll give your method a try.
I just thought of something. At work they spray semis, and they use a lot of imron and centari. I am assuming thats what they used on the semi that was in the booth before. I went to help tape up a semi and went to lift one of the ladders. I thought someone had bolted ir glued that dang thing down somehow to the concrete for a minute as a joke or something. It was really stuck to the floor and I actually had to push on it kind of hard to break it lose from the concrete, and the other guy went and tried the other ladder and it was stuck the same way. We both just sort of laughed at that.
Well guys your all far from dumb and I bet you got a whole lot more experience than me for sure when it comes to painting cars etc but I can honestly say I have never had sticky shoes or a floor etc from SSU. Now its possible that I really have but never noticed it.. humm now you got me thinking I will check the next time I spray to see.
Its kinda funny really. Imagine painting and getting tacked in place. Next day the boss comes in and there you are gun in-hand lol like a statue !
I can see though that its entirely possible depending on where the Overspray goes. With the SSU its more akin to spraying clear than regular base and SSU
is as tacky as clear.
I absolutely hate Overspray and all the mess it brings with it.. So I go
real slow painting. Now if it were a frame or something other than a plain
old car then I can see that the floor may become tacky etc.
It REALLY makes a difference with the gun used, that is one huge variable. Let's say an Iwata LP400 verses a Binks 7. Holy crap, you could spray a whole car with the Iwata from what the Binks would leave on the walls. So that would be a big factor. There are LOTS of things that could change it.
I remember painting a 70ish Firebird Formula in my garage when I was a kid (about twenty) with Centari. I TAPED the door shut from the garage to the kitchen. There was still overspray ON THE DISHES IN THE CABINETS!! This was of course with a conventional non HVLP (Before it was even thought of) Devilbiss JGA502.
That was iwth my ex-wife in a galaxy far, far away. Man do I wish I could put some overspray on her dishes again. I don't mean that to be some sort of sexual inuendo, wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole. No, I really mean I wish I could cover her dishes in overspray.
You may be missing a sales point here!
A few weeks ago I was driving and get a call from an aviation place for a tech question, I had never meant these people before and found out I was going to pass them in my drive, so he says were painting two planes today stop by.
Walked in and the first thing he said is this is how can can tell if a paint is any good.
Takes me back to the painting room and starts almost running in place and says see how sticky the paint is on the floor? Good S--t.

With some truly great titles out there, and apps like Comixology making them easier to read then ever, there's never been a better time to be a comic fan.
But with so many choices, what exactly should you be reading? Particularly for comic newbies it can be a little daunting searching through mounds of comics, whether that's in your local brick-and-mortar, or on the virtual comic rack. Luckily, reading comics is part of my job, so I was all too happy to scour the four-color archives for the cream of the current crop.
There are superheroes, flesh-eating zombies, and, err, time-stopping intercourse — all of them read just as well on paper or your iPad screen. Personally, I'm a stickler for physical books, although digital ones are looking better all the time, and they're continuing to explode in popularity.
But ultimately how you choose to consume your comics is a personal choice. Just so long as you read 'em.
So get reading!

Dealers Room and Artists' Alley

Some of us did spend a good amount of time in artists alley (commissions, etc.) The artists' alley room seemed kinda small, and their space was limited, a larger room could accommodate more artists given that artists alley fills up very quickly.

I do wish that we had more space in the AA, though. 3 feet of space is really cramped. If the tables were 8 feet instead and we could have 4 feet of space that would be a little better, but the ideal situation would be for us to have a bigger room, or maybe even split the AA into two rooms if need be to give us the space for full tables.

It's always hard to strike the right balance. Bigger tables and 25% fewer artists? With the number of artists trying to get in, that would not go over well. Eliminate the dealers room (or cut it in half) and give AA more space? Eliminate AA (or cut it in half) and give Dealers more space? Each year we try to see if there's a better arrangement to how we use our rooms, and each year we have to make compromises to fit it all in.
The last time I checked, our Dealers Room is proportionally smaller than other conventions, and our Artists' Alley is larger. (That is, while we're 10% the size of Anime Expo in terms of "warm bodies," our Dealers Room is less than 10% their size while our Artists' Alley is more than 10% their size.) We are constrained by the space we have, and we have a contract through 2015 so we can't change things too much before then. We certainly are looking at finding a larger venue for the 2016 convention but it's far too early to announce anything about that.
We try to have a good variety of dealers in the room. We're looking at picking which dealers we let in, instead of a strict first-come-first-serve approach, to increase the variety.

As far as knockoffs, if you spot that please call it to the attention of the Dealers Room staff. Dealers who flout our no-bootlegs rule can be thrown out, or not invited back, but only if we know about it. (We have a dealer or two that are in that category based on their behavior this year.)

I personally would recommend giving attendants a way to complain about exhibitors who are acting out of line or in the worse case, doing something illegal(and yes, this does happen and it has caused ill effect on other dealers because of it)

We do have a way to do this, you go to the Dealers Control Table which I believe is at the back of the room. Or you go out front to Ops if it's a safety issue.

Prana Vital Life Spa Clinic
Verified (?) Visited Jul 2013
I booked this as a last minute treat after a stressful week. The price seemed really good value for a 60 minutes massage - £30 is a bargain in London!
The place was a little confusing to find as it is inside a large pharmacy. However the clinic can be found after going down a flight of stairs and it is clean,spacious and had a nice little reception area. Once there the therapist made me feel a form and asked me what type of massage i wanted and which area she should be concentrating on,which was nice since not all therapists ask!
My massage was aromatherapy massage and she used some lovely rose scented oil which smelt divine and didnt leave me completely greasy.
The massage was great and thorough - i really appreciated that the therapist took the time to concentrate on all areas.
I will definitely go back!
