If you've heard of Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot before, you've led a charmed life. See, you've already witnessed the absolute height of comedy. Consider yourself charmed. If you haven't, sit back and enjoy the strange ride as we present to you - the absolute worst Japanese monster series of all time!
The story about how I got into this one takes us way back to the early 80s...for some reason, they always showed this series on Thanksgiving. My older brothers for years had regarded Sokko as, bar none, the funniest thing ever created. The video I have of it is kinda choppy - I missed out on the first 10 minutes or so of the story, making everything seem that much more ridiculous. But I've researched this thing...my god have I researched, trying desperately to piece it together to find out what the fuck is going on. To their credit, I've realized that yes, the movie does have a plot! But then again - so did Jaws IV...that doesn't make it good. :)
Here's the very short plot...I'm here to make fun of the movie, not give an in-depth synopsis: Futuristic Earth is plagued by the evil doings of the so-called 'Gargoyle Gang', lead by the ridiculous Emperor Guillotine - who kinda looks like a cross between an octopus and a solid gold dancer. Johnny Sokko, or U7, has the ability to call upon the power of Giant Robot, a robot who can fly and suspiciously looks like an Egyptian pharoah. The robot is the Unicorn Agents' - the good guys - only hope at stopping the villains, because as fate would have it, the bad guys have more stupid giant monsters in their arsenal than the entire cast of Amen!
That's the plot, now here's all the wonderful characters and plot oversights...
That's U7 (Johnny Sokko) and U3 (Gerry), otherwise known as the main good guys. Gerry gets jealous because Johnny controls the robot - but that's not the only reason for Gerry to get jealous. In one scene, Johnny takes a shotgun blast to the skull, and all he needs is a little rest time at the hospital! I should mention that whoever dubbed this flick did a really shitty job. I'm not saying that they just speak when their lips aren't moving - I'm saying that there's no way that could possibly be what they're saying. Whomever dubbed this evidently didn't know Japanese from French, and just used their best judgement to come up with the lines.
That's Emperor Guillotine - the main bad guy. While his costume leaves a lot to be desired, understand that this is one powerful motherfucker. At the end of the movie, he becomes a giant version of himself complete with the ultimate weapon: the ability to rip off and throw his fingernails, causing huge explosions. An avid collector of Egyptian art, Emperor Guillotine seeks to make Giant Robot his own, with the sidebar goal to simply crush the people of Earth under his mighty squid grip.
Emperor Guillotine's not an idiot. He knows he can't accomplish his goals alone, so he's hired some of the best guns money can buy - including this guy, Dangor the Executioner.
Along with Dangor the Executioner comes this guy. I don't know his name, but we'll call him Destro. Simply because he's obviously an inspiration for Cobra's number one son. Destro is probably the most vocal about wanting to kill everyone, which does lead to a problem because, when he talks, bad translations follow. An example, direct from the show:
Destro: Dey embarass me! Dey won't get away with that!
I guess you had to be there. But Doctor Destro is not only a powerful higher-up in the Gargoyle Gang, he also wears a cape that has two big scary plastic arms on it. When U7 and U3 rip the cape off him, shock and despair follow!
Now, no bad guy team is complete without filler. Filler being the guys who get killed that nobody cares about. In this case, it's the Gargoyle's human bad guys, who for some reason all look like German war heroes or French painters...take a look:
See the guy in the sunglasses on the right? He dies pretty quick. I have no problem with that, but I do have a problem with him turning up in the next scene unscathed, only to get killed again. And while I don't have a major problem with that, I do have a major problem with him turning up in every scene, unscathed, despite dying at least 136 times in the course of the series. He may dress like a cool cat, but rest assured, a cat he ain't. He don't have no nine lives.
The good guys aren't without a lot of agents either. Agents who for some reason wear motorcycle helmets and pink scarves while flying battle jets. This is the only series in history where the costume and props came exclusively from the old lady's garage sale down the street. As a general rule of thumb, any Unicorn agent who isn't known as U1, U5, or Usomething, is a pretty safe bet to be dead on arrival. These guys drop faster that kids playing Photon by the 9th precinct.
Now it's time to talk about...the monsters. The backbone of the Gargoyle Gang. It's at these points where the line between science fiction and hilarious comedy becomes really thin...
The Nucleon! Sadly, this is the best monster we'll get in terms of credibility. I say 'sadly', because it's nothing but a ball with some spikes that you can clearly see being puppeteered by strings in at least 5 different shots. To it's credit, it gives us one of the lamest special effects sequences ever...
Giant Robot throws the Nucleon at the Gargoyles. Notice that some of the Gargoyles have decided that it'd be best to try hiding under the car instead of inside it. But, then again, they're safe. It's not the Gargoyle's car that's being destroyed, but obviously a Hot Wheels car. Kickass.
This one, who we'll call the Water Monster, is also pretty interesting. See, it's inactive in the water and without power. The natural conclusion would be for the monster to drink all the water. That's like someone saying that they're in pain in a pool of acid, so they better drink it all up quick. This was probably the lamest of all the monsters, simply because it didn't even fight back. As soon as Giant Robot hit the scene, all it had to do was punch the fucker a few times.
Another terrific effect came to us from the Dog Monster, who eats a train. Or I should say, eats a model train so small that even I'd eat it on a dare. If that's not enough for you, the monster appears to be made entirely out of paper mache. The thing looks like a fucking animated pinata, so obviously, Giant Robot has little trouble punching holes through it.
Opticon was pretty cool. Reminds me of Digdogger from Zelda. A giant eye with tentacles and virtually no offense. I don't know why anyone was even remotely concerned with it. It was about as effective in battle as a Macy's Day Parade balloon. You know, now that I think about it, maybe Giant Robot wasn't all that powerful afterall. Anyone could take these monsters.
I won't spoil the end for you, but I will say that it involves them throwing in a plot twist, and then completely abandoning it for the sake of ending the abomination. If there ever was something in dire need of the MST3K treatment, this is it. And if you ever feel like becoming bulemic without shoving your fingers down your throat, simply pop this video into the VCR player.

"I'm into all that sappy stuff — a surprise picnic, nice dinner, or traveling. I'm kind of an old romantic."
-Will Estes
The Long Beach Summer Concert Series began this week. Tonight's concert is being played in an older park with grassy knolls and a basin perfect for acoustics. It's not far from the historic Rancho Los Cerritos, one of the few remaining 2-story adobes in Southern California. As the sun slips away, beach breezes meander inland. It's a wonderful experience and the Long Beach Municipal Concert Band is top drawer!
I, too, am an "old romantic," especially when it comes to picnics. I had an elegant plan for tonight which defaulted to my family's schedule. So, instead I will be picking up shredded potato salad from a German deli. My parents are contributing sandwiches with a generous portion of hot roast beef.
So, next week I will be making the recipe below...
Note: Like many of you, I have tried an embarrassing amount of diets in my life. The Fit for Life plan yielded no weight loss for me, but the recipes were delicious and satisfying. This recipe continues to be one of my favorites.
From "Fit for Life"
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups diced red onion
- 1 1/2 cups diced red pepper
- 1 1/2 cups diced green bell pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 4 to 6 cups cooked corn
- 1/2 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Ground rock salt
- Freshly ground pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion and sauté for two minutes, stirring frequently. Add red and green peppers and sauté, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes more. Add curry powder, oregano, and turmeric and sauté briefly.
Combine corn and sautéed vegetables in a large bowl. Stir in olives. Add mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste, and cilantro. Stir well. Refrigerate until serving.
Serves 6.

Brad Paisley's Makes Dreams Come True!
Brad Paisley made a dying man's wish come true by playing the custom-made guitar that Lee Feldman gave him while recording his album Wheelhouse.
Brad said he met Lee during a meet-and-greet last October, "He said, 'If you're going to play it, I want you to have it. If you ain't going to play it, give it to somebody else.' I don't want it collecting dust."
Lee died that November of pancreatic cancer. Brad played the guitar on the album's last track, "Officially Alive".

Jeannette Senior Legion back on winning track
That's what they needed.
After an unorthodox two weeks during which the Jeannette senior American Legion baseball team played just one game — an ugly lopsided loss — the squad got back to its winning ways last week.
Jeannette took two of three games, evening its record at 5-5, giving the team more wins than it had all of last year and, most importantly, keeping the playoff hopes alive.
The team is thrilled to be back on the winning track, but they're not satisfied.
"It feels good to win two, but three of three would have been better," said outfielder Brady Cameron, an 18-year-old who will play for Waynesburg College next year.
Cameron has been the top offensive producer for Jeannette this season, leading the team with a .353 average. As head coach Jules Ponterio explained, the team, overall, needs to up its offensive production during the season's home stretch.
"A little more offense to go with (the) pitching we have is key," said Ponterio. "If we can get the offense going, then I think we'll be pretty tough to beat. "
Last Tuesday, Jeannette got revenge on Greensburg – the team which beat them 14-1 just three days earlier – by taking a 5-2 win.
"I was very confident we'd come back and beat them," said Ponterio.
Rob Duffy struck out nine and allowed just four hits in seven innings on the mound. Dom Disso had the key hit of the game, a bases-clearing double, and finished with four RBIs.
On Thursday, Jeannette beat Derry 7-6 in dramatic fashion. The team jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but Derry came back to take a 6-5 lead in the sixth inning. But, in the bottom of the sixth, Jeannette scored two to reclaim the lead when Dom Disso and Rob Duffy collected RBIs.
That's all Garrett Elliott needed as he threw a clean seventh inning to seal the win. Overall, Jeannette had 11 hits, including three by Disso. Elliott struck out eight while tossing a complete game.
The winning streak ended Sunday when Jeannette fell to West Hempfield 4-2. Duffy and Nick Spankler combined to allow only two hits but they also combined to walk four and hit six batters.
"We just couldn't get the big hit today," said Ponterio. "When you give up just two hits you've, got to win that game."
Even with the loss, Ponterio is happy with the week overall.
"I'll take two-of-three in a week every time," he said. "This week coming up is very important."
Jeannette hosts Latrobe on Thursday, plays at Yough on Friday, hosts Mt. Pleasant on Saturday, then visit Unity on Sunday.
"They guys are confident," said Ponterio. "They know it's a big week for us."
Cameron said there's an added level of intensity around the team right now.
"I think we've all got that same focus for this upcoming week," he said. "I think we've been playing pretty well all-in-all. I think we'll call come together and have a good week."

Veteran Miami Herald photographer Patrick Farrell has been awarded journalism's biggest award, the Pulitzer Prize, for his harrowing images of the victims of the storms that ravaged Haiti in 2008.
Farrell, 49, visited Haiti four times during last year's hurricane season, capturing scenes of the dead and the survivors of a series of storms that generated devastating flooding across the impoverished nation.
He was in Haiti the night Hurricane Ike — the fourth storm to hit there in a month — washed across the already overwhelmed countryside, drowning even more homes and people. Read More here

Aug. 15: Getting settled into the hotel is the first order of business.
The first night we eat at the hotel cafe under the atrium. Cozy and comfortable dining with dim light from mini candles and soft music from the piano in the lobby.
The hotel room has two twin beds, just wide enough for me to lie down on my back and not fall off either side. I am a back sleeper, though, so I don't mind the narrow beds. I slide my bed next to the window so there is a wide open space in the middle of the room to use for my stretching and tai chi.
The next morning I grab a quick breakfast, then down to the medical room for a massage. I know this is going to hurt, but I don't mind. A deep tissue massage is supposed to hurt a bit.
I take a nap and get ready for practice at Lichterfeld Stadium, about 25 minutes away. Carrie, our event manager, makes sure we have all what we need to get a good practice. I need a few extra discs to throw as I only have the two discs that Carrie brought over in her luggage.
When she returns she has four discs borrowed from a volunteer that happened to have some in his trunk. Wolfgang is a discus thrower competing in the masters division and he let me use his 1K discs. I think his discs might be a bit heavy because every time I throw them they land in the right side of the sector and my discus on the left side.
They will work well for practice, especially since I am too lazy to keep walking out to the field to retrieve my discus. I call it laziness but I know it is just a matter of energy conservation. I save all of my energy to throw far.
Aug. 16
Today we walk to the accreditation center to get our credential. Credentials are like gold here; a passport to all things championship. A credential will get you into the venue for all sessions, meals and entry to the hotels, official bus transportation and free travel on all the public transit in Berlin.
Later I travel to the Olympic Stadium and start a practice session on the track. Today is not a throwing day but I have some supplemental training I need to do. One of the men's high jumpers is walking with me to the track and I notice that his pants fit him perfectly in length.
Back at the hotel I nap in the afternoon and then decide to take a trip to the corner store to buy some essentials that would just not fit into my carry-on. I spend about an hour looking at different bottles trying to decide if they are shampoo, conditioner, or bleach. I decide on a few items and hand my euros to the cashier.
I have not yet mastered any German words other than "Danka."
Last night I played a game of cribbage with the USA men's coach who knows a little German. I attempted to speak all of the numbers in German while counting my hand. It was a great learning experience but still I can only retain the ten numbers. I still don't know the word for zero but as poor as I can play the game, I surprisingly never need to use it.
The cashier gives me my change but as I leave she starts to yell at me and runs out the door. Apparently I left a ten euro note on the counter. "Danka," I say.
I walk by a cafe on the way back to the hotel and decide to stop in for an espresso and cookie. I sit down in a booth and grab the Berliner paper and try to understand the captions under the pictures. This holds my attention for a while but soon I find a much more interesting activity, people watching. This is by far the best part about traveling abroad.
Watching people chatting, laughing, walking with dogs on leash, pushing babies in strollers. Most people carrying groceries from the store use small rolling carts as cars are more of a luxury then a necessity. Gas is more expensive. Food prices are very high and portions are small. It makes me realize why many Americans eat too much: The food is plentiful and cheap.
Tonight is the talent show!
Every year the team has a talent show to showcase our talented artists on the team. Most people sing in the show but we had one dancing act. I have to say that some acts were horrible but having the courage to make a fool of yourself in front of a hundred people is talent itself.
Three coaches sat on the judging panel and we had a Simon Cowell judge making everyone feel terrible and two other coaches giving praise.
Our winner was a sprinter named Charles and his voice was magic. Gave me goosebumps. He was the outright winner but was disqualified shortly thereafter due to an anonymous tip that he was not an amateur and had a CD out. I hope this does not carry over to the track. We don't need any more scandalous disqualifications by the sprint team at this meet!
Galt resident and Olympic discus champion Stephanie Brown Trafton is writing about her experiences at the 2009 IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Berlin. The discus prelims will be held on Wednesday and the finals will be on Friday. Following are excerpts from her second and third entries from her blog, which can be accessed at www.stephaniebrowntrafton.com.

Four weeks may not make a trend; investors could change their minds later this year and turn on stocks once again. But a perceived lessening of risk, a lack of investment alternatives, and a view that the global economy, particularly the U.S., is getting better may combine to herald the return of the individual to the markets.
"It's a sentiment issue, and it just seems like sentiment is starting to turn," said Greg Holohan, senior wealth adviser at ScotiaMcLeod in Markham, Ont. "People are in a position now where they feel certain stocks are worth the risk."
The big question is: Are they right?
It's easier, first, to examine what is happening to cause a brighter mood. And that is as much a story about the human brain as it is about the euro zone crisis or the U.S. debt ceiling.
Human beings tend to make decisions based on what they remember most vividly. In psychology, this is called the "recency effect" – we tend to remember newer information better, and it influences behaviour more strongly than older information, which gets hazier over time.
Meir Statman, author of the book What Investors Really Want and a behavioural finance professor at Santa Clara University in California, describes investors' post-crisis approach to stocks as similar to a bad road trip.
He paints this scenario: You're driving down the highway when the truck in front of you suddenly slams its brakes. Your heart jumps into your throat, but you stop just in time. Naturally, your nerves are going to be on edge until you get out of the car.
But the market crash in 2008 and 2009 "is a case where we plowed into the truck," Prof. Statman said.
Any driver who has ever been in a bad car accident knows it takes a while to get back on the road. But eventually, the mental scars heal. It's the same for investors who lose money. "They see the future as being more positive [now], and they see stocks as being more positive," Prof. Statman said.
The market has lurched from one apparent crisis to another over the past several years. Once the financial crisis had eased in 2009, it was replaced by worries of a collapse in the euro zone because of the unsustainable debts of member countries such as Greece and Ireland. Then, in 2011, that was coupled with concerns about U.S. political leadership, which brought the world's largest economy to the edge of a debt default in an argument over taxes and spending.
Now, with the Jan. 1 resolution of the U.S. "fiscal cliff" and the euro zone crisis receding, many of the negative headlines have been removed – or investors have simply tuned them out.
After all the dire warnings, the sky hasn't fallen and people have stopped reacting reflexively, said Michael Obuchowski, a portfolio manager with North Shore Asset Management in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology.
He calls it "systematic desensitization." In other words, "when you repeat it [the fears of economic calamities] 200 times over two years, people really stop paying attention to it. They become desensitized to that type of information."
Or, perhaps, we have reached a point where there truly are fewer risks investors need to worry about.
"There are no 'known unknowns' right now," says Pierre Lapointe, the head of global strategy and research at Pavilion Global Markets Ltd., using a phrase made famous by former U.S. defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "It's the first time since the beginning of 2007 that we see much less uncertainty."
That allows market watchers to turn their attention to economic news, which has generally been positive for several months, as well as corporate profits, which have been at record levels for two years.
The tangible numbers of people buying cars and homes and finding jobs have been improving since the second half of last year. Now that the risk-driven headlines are disappearing, investors like what they see.Report Typo/Error

His catalogue is extensive, and his opera, orchestra, chamber and solo works are by turns ethereal, hypnotic, unsettling and very emotionally direct. Much of his work seeks to expand the definition of virtuosity in music-even the deceptively simple pieces can be fiendishly difficult to play and require incredible concentration by musicians and audiences alike.

Ford City cruises in PIHL Open Class quarterfinal
The Ford City hockey team lived up to its status as the PIHL Open Class Chiefs Cup favorite during a quarterfinal win at the Belmont Complex on Sunday night.
Ahead by six goals after the first period, the No. 1 seed Sabers (19-2-1) cruised to an 11-1 victory over No. 8 Carrick (5-17) and advanced to the Chiefs Cup semifinals for the sixth season in a row. They'll play No. 4 Hollidaysburg (15-5-1) at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday at the Belmont Complex.
Eric Lindey finished with a team-high five points (two goals, three assists), Robert Kinsey had four (one goal, three assists), and Josh Oliver, John Phelps and Jesse Valasek each added three points.
"Having to play down the stretch to win the section and get the No. 1 seed really made a difference for us," coach Glen Kilgore said.
The team Ford City will host Tuesday delivered the Sabers a 5-3 loss on Nov. 29. Hollidaysburg, a 6-5 double-overtime winner in the quarterfinals, features the Open Class' top two regular-season scorers, William Power (61 goals, 44 assists) and Brandon Ritchey (41, 55).
Kilgore welcomes the opportunity to play a second home game in the playoffs — the Sabers, a No. 1 seed last season, suffered a semifinal upset.
"I think definitely playing at home at the Belmont is advantage for any team who plays there," Kilgore said.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- A partnership between the City of Sarasota and Sarasota County to create a homeless shelter for those in need is officially over.
This week, the city commission decided to end the joint pursuit of a shelter.
Now Sarasota County is trying to decide its next move. At a meeting Tuesday, homelessness expert, Dr. Robert Marbut, suggested the county move forward without the city's involvment.
County commissioners, who have supported Marbut's recommendations for a "come as you are" shelter, want to discuss the idea further before making any decisions.
In the meantime, the county is continuing to search for shelter sites.

UPDATE: As had been feared, Dustin Keller will miss the entire 2013 campaign due to the knee injury he suffered on Saturday, according to FoxSports.com's Alex Marvez. Read on to see how the injury affects Keller's next contract and how the Fins may replace him.
Tight end Dustin Keller took a financial gamble as a free agent this summer by turning down a long-term deal with the Miami Dolphins, opting instead to ink a one-year deal. It made some sense at the time, because injuries limited him to eight games in 2012, and a shoddy New York Jets offense limited him to just 28 catches for 317 yards and 2 TDs in those appearances. His thinking was that by joining an offense on the rise, he could have a big statistical season and go for a much better long-term payday as he entered his age-30 season next year.

[1]Babies are being saddled with some strange names this year … or at least so says Babycenter.com's annual baby-naming survey[2].
"Picking a unique name" was listed by more than 4,000 parents as the top factor in choosing a name. And some of them sure did.

Title: Special Meeting, City Hall, 165 Church Street, Second Floor, Meeting Room #2
Description: Date: 11-20-13Title: City Hall, 165 Church Street, 2nd Floor Room 2, New Haven, CTStatus: ApprovedThe meeting was called to Order by Wayne Hobbs, Vice Chair in absence of Barbara Carroll, Chair.Roll Call: � Present: Wayne Hobbs, Leslie Radcliffe, Robert Spirito, Lena Largie, Bianca Bowles, Noemi Rivera, George Carter, Catherine Gootkin, Evette Hamilton, � Absent: Barbara Carroll, Frank Cochran, Evelise Ribeiro, Reginald Thomas (CRB Coordinator)� Staff: Roderick Williams (Corporate Counsel)The purpose of this meeting was to address specific matters of eligibility, nominations, elections and voting pursuant to CRB Bylaws.Sec. 3.6. An Officer who has served two consecutive terms may not stand for re-election until a full two- year term has passed. This limitation may be waived by a 2/3 majority vote of the entire board.� Frank Cochran submitted an opinion to Corp. Counsel that Barbara Carroll was not eligible to be elected interim chair during the special election of September 2013. He informed the board that he had no issue with her being elected Chair for the next term beginning January 1, 2014.� The board members present had extensive discussion on the interpretation of the intention of the Bylaws on the matter of eligibility of a member to stand for reelection. It was felt by the majority that the intention was that no one member would serve more than 2 consecutive terms and that the language needed to be further clarified to express that intention. This would be an item that would further addressed by the Bylaws Committee. Barbara Carroll�s full term as elected Chair ended December 31, 2011. After discussion, it was the consensus of the CRB that Barbara Carroll is eligible to be nominated and reelected to serve as Chair in the upcoming elections for the 2014 term.Sec. 3.9 New Members. New members shall: a) Comply with initial orientation as outlined in 3.8; and b) Agree to training as outlined in 3.8. New members shall be sworn in after complying with a) and b) and attending three (3) regular CRB meetings. After being sworn in, new members shall be eligible to vote on issues, vote in Board elections, attend executive sessions and participate in review panels.� Frank Cochran submitted the opinion to Corp Counsel that George Carter should not be considered as a �new member�. Barbara Carroll submitted the opinion that George Carter be considered as a new member. George Carter vacated his position as the Dixwell representative to the CRB after the January 2013 meeting.� All members present felt that George Carter did not need to repeat the orientation and training as �new� CRB members participate in. However, it was felt by some that as he had been absent from the board for several months, it would be appropriate for him to attend 3 consecutive board meetings before being sworn in as a full member of the board. By doing so would show his commitment of service to the board. After much discussion, it was decided that the matter of George Carter�s eligibility would be tabled until the December meeting.A motion to adjourn was made, seconded and approved unanimously.Submitted by: Leslie Radcliffe, Secretary

an upgrade to a suite
We have been expecting some extra bed for our child, but what we've got was more like two rooms apartment, with TV in each room, possibility to boil water (option very useful for baby food preparation). City center was also at very short distance and the place was quiet. Car parking by the hotel is paid. Nothing special in that, but you still must consider having small extra expense.
Dining Room Room was not cleaned after first night. Had to go to reception to get a change of towels
The staff were most helpful, spoke English, great choice of breakfast. Standard of cleanliness second to none. I have stayed there 3 times and I will certainly return. Nothing
Nice accomodation, modern hotel, good price, walking distance to Stare Miasto and shopping No a/c so could get hot in the room, loud noises from outside starting around 6 in the morning
Both the bathroom and bedroom were new, and of a good standard. Both rooms were very light and quite large. A covenient location for the centre of the city. The restaurant especially dinner was of a poor standard with the cooked vegetables being completely cold. The service could be more customer friendly.
The room was very big. Only one computer could be connected to the Ethernet network, so we had to bring our own Wifi router to connect 2 computers. Also, there were very few electricity sockets, which, however, was easily remedied by using an extension chord from the huge pile they have at the reception. Seems like we were not the only guests needing to plug in several plugs.
Clean, good food, smoking rooms available No tea, coffee facilities in room
Hotel staff and restaurant.
Room & breakfast
Very nice hotel for the price. Helpful and polite personnel. Breakfast was good. There was also free parking places, extra of the private parking area. Location is very near to Olsztyn center. :)
very clean, comfortable and quiet room, close to the centre
Very helpful friendly staff - an excellent location across the road from the old town - good restaurant in the hotel
Brand new hotel, good location, friendly englishspeaking staff. Very clean everywhere. Good value for money. Guarded parking.Would Not really, but a safe in the room would be nice.
Brand new hotel, good breakfast, friendly staff.
The rooms were beautifully decorated and the staff exstremely helpful. Dinner was very good in terms of quality. Very convenient for the old town of Olsztyn The fact that there was no air conditioning anywhere in the hotel. Given that the daily temperature was 34 and night time 28, it made the stay somehwat uncomfortable. The hotel did provide a fan at our request
Large room, beautiful interiors everywhere in the hotel, very friendly staff and excellent food at the hotel restaurant. Also the breakfast was among the best we've had. Good location, also for those who are traveling with pets.
A beautiful brand new hotel. I was told to be the first customer. It's quite a big hotel with nice rooms and a luxurious atmosphere. Breakfast was complete and very good. The hotel is close to the city center.
Location, location, location. Taxis as well as public transportation within a short walk. Very clean and friendly hotel. Very good continental breakfast. The hotel lacks facilities such as a gym but parks are nearby for the outdoorsy types. TV in the room gave us some trouble and could be updated in both size and set up/hook up.
location and attetude towards dogs
the stuff is friendly and nice too for away from central
Very good hotel
Price is too high for this hotel.
The provision of secure and convenient car parking and the excellent dinner menu in the restaurant. No.
Location-close to road to Warsaw. Air conditioning in rooms
Quiet beautiful place and wonderful lake for swimming. Puffet breakfast was good. No air-condtioning.
Very comfortable quiet hotel with a good breakfast and big car park. The large garden leads down to a lake with a swimming area.
Quiet hotel, in old-style building, good value for such money.
Beautiful building and interior. Very clean. Super restaurant, we had a dinner on gourmet level. Everything was fine.
Very good breakfast!
A nice villa with the garden, unusual dining room.
Nice room, big, and the building was beautiful. As mentioned in other reviews, the hotel seems to be a favourite location for wedding (anniversary) parties, so it was very noisy. The noise ended at midnight so it wasn't robbing me of too much sleep, but it would be nice if other hotel guests could be taken into consideration. Otherwise OK.
its clean too far from city by walking
The location, parking Breakfast, room
Well located, clean hotel. Very helpful and friendly service staff, good breakfast included. Quiet, off street parking. Nothing special, but it was a good base for seeing Olsztyn. Thank you.
Good value or money Cockroaches
good location, on one side of hotel should be quite good view from the windows poor breakfast and not very waitress
The breakfast was good, the rooms were cleaned every day. They could not speak English.. in a hotel like that, they should! We booked for 2x2p, but our friend decided on the last moment to join us.He asked the receptionist for an extra bed and she said that it wasn't a problem and it would be 160 zlotych (2 nights). At the end of the staying, it was another receptioniste and she demanded 278 zlotych for his staying. That's incorrect! The location was realy weird, in the middle of poor buildings. None of us had a view over the river, only on other poor buildings.
staff were helpful, excellent restaurant
Guarded car parking, free internet access, clean and cozy rooms provided a pleasant rest after a long journey. Price was fantastic! Breakfast is very poor, it is just better then nothing. Hotel is located on the outskirts of the town in the industrial area, so it may be difficult to get there if you are on foot or using public transport.
Very helpful staff´-activities trains etc-spotlessly clean-first class restaurant at lakeside neaby breakfast needs to be better
Free Internet. Quiet. This hotel is a complete joke, probably an old student dormitory that has been refurbished. Although not far from the old center, the walk through the seedy area is not at all pleasant. The smell inside is stale and typical of a low-end establishment. The staff are on the rude side and do not even have a city map to give out. The beds looked like the two parts of a sofa bed separated, with not even a mattress pad on top, and the blankets weighed a ton. The bathroom pretends to be fancy, but in a rather tacky way, and there is not a single hook for your robe or a shelf for toiletries. Parking is not free, and in general the hotel is much too expensive for what it is. Typical Polish amateurs in the "best" of Soviet tradition.
quiet staff cant understand english, elevator stucked, too far by walking to centre, resturant issue
I liked the hotel; its a very good value; the staff is friendly; and mostly you get everything what do you expect in that place.

I wish I could polish it more but the decision is coming soon so I'm putting it out now. REST IN PEACE Oscar Grant & lets RiSe Up against this racist Jim Crow Police State!
Oscar Grant R.I.P. by Revolt (http://www.myspace.com/riseupnrevolt)
Black blood fills the concrete crevice
at Fruitvale BART above the terrace
a terrorist guns down a four-year-olds parent
apparently racist without any merit
quick to cover their traces from someone who'd air it
got up in the faces of a camera witness
lifted cell phones like it was physical fitness
it's a typical pig standard of business
the man was defenseless but I'm not surprised
by skinhead goons wit blood in their eyes
would carry a noose if it would fit their disguise
then tell the jury booth
"It's for a horseback ride"
Mehserle cried but I'm not convinced
he'd eat his own shit if it would help his defense
and go into grants crib to plant evidence
indict another black man whatever the expense
Oscar Grant brother Rest In Peace
and Every Victim at the hand of the police
the system is sick; we in the belly of the beast
Enough of this shit-
Let's put Goliath on his knees!
All the Uncle Toms and the media puppets
try to acquit Mehserle in the eyes of the public
open letters from the priests tell us don't be destructive
Oakland's economy needs to be clean productive!
when the bullshit goes down we see your true colors
saying when no ones around cops can beat up on brothers
if you shoot one in the back just say he went for the taser,
that way you kill any teenager wit some gold and a pager!
Well I don't need to know math or celebrate the Sabbath
to say "Fuck 5-0, let's kick the pork habit!"
cause the poor have had it; this aint an isolated case
the pigs love to profile every kind of race
deporting immigrants with a baton to the face
if it makes it to court you better give 'em some space
for the judge to lick his ass—bestiality wit grace!
It's a Democratic State with the Slavery intact
you make minimum wage while Bill Gates getting fat
you know we getting played; we aint never been at bat
they holding all the cards & not shuffling the stack
bailing out the banks and putting shrapnel in yo ass
leaking oil from the tanks and outlawing all the grass
keep us in danger- that's their message
while they filling up prisons like pigeons on ledges
this incisions infected; its all part of the plan
as long as there's oppression we're all Oscar Grant

Story Behind the Art:
The sarong is one of the most versatile and earliest styles of clothing, dating back thousands of years, and used in various forms around the world. Artists on the exotic islands of Bali and Java in Indonesia have been handcrafting sarongs for centuries. These artisans are known worldwide for their skill, creativity and expertise, especially for their batik skills. Batik is an extremely difficult art, requiring a great deal of practice and patience. Design methods are handed down through the generations, usually from father to son or mother to daughter. Children start this work at an early age. Each batik sarong is a work of art and can take hours and sometimes days to create, depending on the difficulty of the design.
What is Worldstock?
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.

What's the SCORE: Small businesses and the affordable care act
- Published in Local Business
SCORE's mission is to provide as much information as possible to assist existing small businesses grow and prosper as well as mentor entrepreneurs in the start up of new businesses. To that end, the purpose of "What's The SCORE" articles is to provide as much information as possible that is of interest and utility to the small business community. There is probably no issue today that is of more interest to small businesses than the Affordable Care Act. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, a great deal of misinformation has been promulgated regarding health care provisions as they apply to small businesses. Trustfully this article will help clarify those provisions.
Right off the bat (excuse the metaphor), it must be understood that SCORE is not a government agency per se. Yes, it is a resource partner of the Small Business Administration (SBA) and it does receive funding through the SBA, but all counselors are volunteers; they do not get paid and report to no one in the government. What I am trying to say is that SCORE is apolitical! It is also necessary to point out that the following information is abbreviated and that more detailed information can easily be accessed by going to www.sba.gov and/or www.healthcare.gov. OK, let's get started.
Q. As a small business, what do I need to know?
A. No small business employer is required to offer health coverage! But if you choose to do so, small businesses may get health coverage in the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Marketplace. Starting in 2014, businesses with 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees can use SHOP to offer coverage to their employees. This applies to non-profit organizations as well. Open enrollment, Oct. 1, 2013.
Q. What is considered a small business?
A. If you have 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees, you are considered a small business as it applies to the health care law. If you have fewer than 25 employees, you may qualify for the Small Business Tax Credit.
Q. What if I'm self-employed?
A. If you are self-employed with no employees, you are not considered an employer. You can use the individual marketplace to find coverage that fits your needs.
Q. What is the SHOP Marketplace?
A. The Small Business Health Options Program is intended to simplify the process of buying health insurance for your employees. Starting Jan. 1, 2014, the SHOP Marketplace is open to employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees. Using SHOP, you:
control the coverage you offer and how much you pay toward employee premiums; can compare health plans on-line on an apples-to-apples basis, allowing you to make a decision that is right for your business; may qualify for a small business health care tax credit worth up to 50% of your premium costs. You will still be able to deduct from your taxes the rest of your premium costs not covered by the tax credit. Beginning 2014, the tax credit is available only for plans purchased through SHOP.
Q. Does my business qualify for the SHOP Marketplace?
A. In 2014, SHOP is open to employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees.
If you plan to use SHOP, you must offer coverage to all your full-time employees. (usually those working 30 or more hours a week on average).
In many states, at least 70 percent of your full-time employees must enroll in SHOP (those with coverage through another plan count toward that requirement).
Q. How do I choose coverage that is right for my business?
A. There are four categories of plans in the SHOP Marketplace: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
The plans describe the way in which your employees and the plan share costs. The category has nothing to do with the quality of care the plan provides. All plans must provide essential health care benefits in 10 different categories.
Q. What is my immediate obligation to my employees?
A. Employers are required to provide employees with a standard "Summary of Benefits and Coverage" form explaining what their plan covers and what it costs. The Department of Labor provides a sample SBC completed form that may be used for reference.
As you can appreciate, this brief Q/A just scratches the surface of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act as it affects small businesses. By going to www.sba.gov and/or www.healthcare.gov, you will obtain more detailed information regarding those questions as well as access such subjects as Medical Loss Ratio Rebates, W-2 Reporting, Limits On Flexible Spending Account Contributions, Workplace Wellness Program, Use of Health Insurance Agents/Brokers, NH Marketplace and upcoming provisions in 2015.
If you have questions regarding the SHOP Marketplace, call 1-800-706-7915 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. You can also gain access to the aforementioned links by going to the mtwashington.score.org web site.

This is the website: coiffurestefan.be/wp
I'd like the "openingsuren" at the bottom to have the X when opened and the arrow when closed. How can I do this? I tried with CSS but it doesn't work like I want it to be.
Any advice?
You could toggle an "active" class on the link, similarly to how slideToggle() will toggle open the "openingsuren" div, toggleClass() can toggle a class.
Having has a quick look at your code I think you'd only need to add a small bit of code to the line that currently does your slideToggle()
jQuery(this).toggleClass("active").next("#openingsuren").slideToggle(500);
Then you can change the CSS rule for the active state to be:
#uren .heading.active
Hope this helps
Thanks! This works like a charm.

Wisconsin seniors stand against the Romney-Ryan plan for Medicare
Since its inception in 1965, millions of seniors have been lifted out of poverty, precisely because of Medicare. Today, tens of millions of seniors rely on it, including 900,000 right here in Wisconsin.
Crippling Medicare by turning it into a voucher program of diminishing value will have real and immediate effects not just on seniors, but also will introduce new burdens on those working families - many who also help take care of their parents and grandparents.
Today in Racine, Wisconsin State Representative Cory Mason talked about the importance of Medicare. In the 1st Congressional District, Paul Ryan's plan would have some other terrible effects based on research from the House of Representatives:
- The Romney-Ryan Plan would increase prescription drug costs for 9,700 Medicare beneficiaries who enter the so-called Part D donut hole.
- The Romney-Ryan Plan would eliminate new preventive care benefits for 112,000 Medicare beneficiaries in this District.
- The Romney-Ryan Plan would increase the out-of-pocket costs of health coverage by more than $6,000 per year in 2022 and by almost $12,000 per year by 2032 for the 137,000 in the District who are between the ages of 44 and 54.
- And finally, the Romney-Ryan Plan would deny 550,000 individuals aged 54 and younger access to Medicare's guaranteed benefits.
We stand with seniors against Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's dangerous agenda, but it's clear that its damage will reach far beyond our senior population. American cannot afford the policies of the Romney-Ryan ticket.

Automakers Request Changes to Proposed Fuel Efficiency Standards

The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers asked that some credits be given to automakers that improve technology to meet 2012-2016 requirements
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers approached the Obama Administration earlier this week to request the use of credits to meet the proposed
fuel efficiency standards
Last year, major automakers, the state of California, and the White House agreed on the new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) proposal that would
boost fleet wide fuel economy to 54.5 mpg by 2025
. The effort aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the country's dependency on foreign oil. The new rules also included a mid-term review to make sure that the 2021-2025 requirements are probable, which the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers also addressed this week.
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents Toyota Motor Corp., Detroit's Big Three automakers and eight other automakers, has requested that carmakers obtain some credits for improving technology to meet 2012-2016 requirements set by the new fuel efficiency standards proposal instead of automakers only receiving credits if they are "in use in a minimum percentage of its overall fleet."
"Providing this program feature in the earlier years improves the usefulness of the credit program and encourages manufacturers to introduce the listed technologies sooner," said the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
More specifically, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers would like automakers to obtain some credits for improving active grill shutters, start-stop technology, air conditioning and high efficiency lights for the 2012-2016 technology requirements.
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers also asked that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) explain the mid-term evaluation process as well as the specifics that will be reviewed. In addition, automakers want to know that the "timeline and procedures for assuring that the studies relied upon by the agencies are appropriately peer reviewed."
Automakers added that they shouldn't be held responsible for emissions from electricity generation from EVs.
"Automakers may now be called on to not only make an unprecedented investment into vehicles with lower emissions, but to also fill the void between this rulemaking and a comprehensive national energy policy," said the automakers.
The new rules are expected to save drivers $1.7 trillion at the pump, but the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) said last month that the new proposal
could add as much as $5,000 to the sticker price
of a new vehicle in 2025.

Football Contest
Soccer boys go 2-2, girls drop three
By Craig Moorhead
, Government/Sports Writer
Wednesday, October 09, 2013 4:53 AM
The Caledonia/Spring Grove/Houston cooperative soccer teams were busy last week with three matches for the ladies and four for the gents with the Section 1A Tournament beginning this week.
Girls at La Crescent, Sept 30
Goaltender Olivia Schmitz had 14 saves for Caledonia, but the Warriors were shut out by the Lancers 2-0.
La Crescent forward Emmalee Finn volleyed the ball in off a side throw to score the first goal of the game, the only score of the first half. In the second period, senior Brielle Bierman added a penalty kick for the hosts, who improved their record to 13-1.
C/SG/H coach Tim Colleran credited defenders Hannah Felten, Haley Halverson, Sydney Halverson, Ella Pieper, Kelsey Hermanson, and midfielder Tressa King with holding the high-powered La Crescent offense in check.
King also had a shot on goal, as did midfielder Samantha Colleran. Attackers Ali Beardmore and Trece Frank had two shots each.
Girls at D-E, Oct. 1
"This game was just like the first Dover-Eyota game, which went into double overtime," Colleran noted. Caledonia had won the first match (Sept. 12) 2-1, but D-E evened things up last week by an identical 2-1 margin.
Midfielder Tracy Felten put CC/SG/H on the board first with an assist by Frank. Eagle Abigail Ramirez tied it up in the second period, and that's where things stood at the end of regulation.
There was no scoring in the first overtime session, but D-E tallied the winning shot with a minute to play in the second, via a penalty shot.
Schmitz had 11 saves, and Caledonia totaled 9 shots on goal. "This was two days in a row of very intense games," Colleran said. "Our team played very well in these two games and unfortunately came out on the losing end.
Girls at P-E-M, Oct. 3
The Warriors traveled to Plainview-Elgin-Millville three days later, losing to the Bulldogs 4-1.
Beardmore scored the only Warrior goal, launching seven shots. Trece Frank had two shots on goal, while Tracy Felten and Halverson each had one shot. Schmitz was again in goal for Caledonia, with 8 saves.
Colleran also credited Brenna Werner and Alison Goergen, who "played strong throughout the week at the outside midfield position. This being the last regular season game, I am proud of how hard the girls worked all season and how they came together as a team."
Boys at P-E-M, Sept. 30
A make-up match with Plainview-Elgin-Millville was played Monday, making up for a rain/lightning cancellation from the prior week. The Warriors were defeated 2-1.
"Josh Nord (assisted by Justin Inglett) was able to score our goal with some impressive build-up play," Warrior coach Dustin Moburg reported. "The game was a real nail-biter at the end. If we would have had two more minutes I'm sure we would have tied it."
C/SG/H goaltender Nick Strabley recorded 10 saves.
The Bulldogs credited junior Brandon Ching with a first period goal and sophomore Mitchel Hall with one in the second.
Boys vs. St. Charles, Oct. 1
In an offensive explosion, C/SG/H defeated the Saints 10-0 on the following night. The Warriors launched 29 shots on goal to 2 for the visitors.
Inglett and Nord led with three goals apiece. Henry Russert scored twice with one goal each by Nate Roble and Aaron Goetting. It was the first time this season Caledonia reached double digits.
Two assists were provided by Inglett, with one each by Nord and Goetting.
"Passing and man marking was great in this game," Moburg said. "The movement of the ball by our players was fantastic. St. Charles had some great breakaways and some fantastic shots. It was great to see chances open and for the players to see the chances. Goals and shots were spread through the team. A good game was played by all!
Boys vs. Holmen, Oct 3
The boys posted another win on Thursday, defeating Holmen 2-1.
"The team looked great," Moburg said. "We made adjustments as a team and kept up the communication. The goals were fantastic! The team play, the give and gos, and the man marking were all much improved. We need to keep this momentum going and push through playoffs!
Senior forward Devin Schiltz broke the ice at the 8:01 mark of the first half. Classmate Alex Marschall added the winning score with 1:47 to play in the second period - assisted by Schiltz.
Austin Moua of the Vikings had tied the match prior to halftime, but Strabley in goal didn't give up any more goals even though Holmen made 6 attempts.
In JV play, the Vikings won 3-0.
Boys vs. K-M, Oct. 5
Heavy rains overnight made field conditions tough on Saturday as the Warriors were defeated by Kasson-Mantorville 2-0.
"(It was) almost like playing in a marsh," Moburg reported. "The defense held their line, but our counterattacks were stopped by Kasson's containment."
Both KoMet scores (via senior Nick Murry and junior Joe Pathoulas) came in the first period. K-M also won the JV match, 4-0.
Up Next:
The boys begin post-season play on Tuesday, Oct. 8, when they take a No. 16 seeding into the Section 1A tournament at Rochester Regional Sports Stadium. Their opponent will be No. 1 seed Rochester Lourdes.
For the ladies, a No. 9 Section 1A seeding places them at No. 8 PEM on the same date. The winner of that contest will face No.1 La Crescent on Oct. 10. The Lancers will definitely defend their home field, since they have a first-round bye.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?

Jolie goes to war on AIDS

Angelina Jolie listens during a Congressional briefing by the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS in Washington.

Angelina Jolie has sought business allies to fight AIDS and HIV, reasoning that US war spending in Iraq dwarfed the country's international AIDS and HIV budget.
"I'm not saying I'm for or against war, but the amount that is spent every month, being, I think they said, $US5 billion, and to ... realise that we're spending $US15 billion on AIDS, for over, what is it? Three years, five years?" Jolie said on Wednesday in an interview with CNN.
The movie star spoke as she visited Washington in a bid to woo more donations from corporations to fight AIDS and HIV.
Earlier, she hosted a forum of the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS with Ambassador Richard Holbrooke to discuss business contributions in fighting HIV/AIDS.
Jolie pointed out that the US had not yet spent all the allocated funds.
"We haven't spent that. It's been 2.3 [billion dollars] which is what, two weeks [worth of spending on the Iraq war]?" she told CNN.
Trevor Neilson, of the coalition, told CNN: "We're trying to call on the world's business community to better respond to the AIDS pandemic and trying to use business leaders to put pressure on Government to do more."
He said that 8000 people died from AIDS each day.
Jolie also said she had adopted a daughter, Zahara, from Ethiopia, a so-called AIDS orphan, after her parents were believed to have died from the disease.

It appears that Brooke Mueller will be dodging prison time after being charged with felony possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute, and the woman Mueller allegedly assaulted during the whole ordeal is none too pleased.
Back in December, Mueller was arrested on cocaine charges as well as a misdemeanor 3rd degree assault charge. Mueller was charged with allegedly assaulting Liana Little, who says she bumped into Brooke at a night club. After a heated exchange of words, Mueller allegedly hit Little in the back.
Speaking to TMZ, Little said that she was "furious" about the situation, and that she feels that Brooke should face jail time not only for the cocaine charges, but also for assaulting her.
Mueller's lawyer is reportedly in the process of hammering out a plea bargain for Mueller, and confinement is apparently not on the table. Instead, Mueller will likely only be faced with a few months of community service and required drug education classes, after which point her charges will be fully dismissed.
Mueller's next court date is scheduled for April 2, when the judge is expeted to hand down her sentence.
Do you think that Brooke Mueller got off too easy?

Pope 'in and out of consciousness'
Page Tools
People gather in St Peter's Square at the Vatican.
Photo: Reuters
Pope John Paul II is showing the first signs of losing consciousness but is "not in a coma", the Vatican said.
In its latest update, a Vatican spokesman described the pontiff's condition as unchanged and "very grave".
Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said John Paul has been slipping in and out of consciousness.
But he said the pontiff is not technically in a coma and opens his eyes when spoken to.
The 84-year-old pope's health has rapidly deteriorated, with his heart and kidneys failing after he suffered a urinary tract infection. He is also struggling to breathe.
A new health bulletin will be issued at 6:00 pm (0200 AEST).
Earlier, it was reported that Catholics around the world were
waiting and praying as Pope John Paul II lay close to death,
after a 26-year reign that helped bring down communism and
vigorously upheld long-standing Vatican doctrines.
Tens of thousands of faithful held an emotional vigil in St Peter's Square deep into the night after Vatican officials said the 84-year-old Pope's health was fading fast.
"Stay with us. Don't leave us," the crowds chanted, many people weeping uncontrollably as they gazed up at the Papal apartments, where just two lights blazed.
But senior churchmen made clear that death was close at hand and Italian news agencies quoted medical sources as saying the Pope had lost consciousness.
"This evening or tonight, Christ opens the doors to the Pope," Monsignor Angelo Comastri said in St Peter's Square as he led a prayer session.
"The successor of Peter, the fisherman, is dying," American Cardinal Francis George said in Chicago.
Newspapers ran large photos of the Polish Pope, whom Italians considered one of their own.
Headlines like "Goodbye, Old Pope" and "Thank You, Wojtyla" filled the front pages.
"This is a life-changing night," said 26-year-old Roberto Mazzi, as he shuffled quietly into St Peter's Square. "He's the only Pope we've ever known and now he's dying. To be anywhere else, in any other mood, would be wrong."
Police estimated that as many as 70,000 people were in the vast, floodlit square as Saturday dawned, to be near the man who enjoyed the third-longest papacy in history and was a key world figure of the late 20th century.
Some sat huddled under blankets to ward off the night chills and others played musical instruments or simply prayed.
Once fit and athletic, the Pope has suffered a series of health dramas, including a near-fatal shooting in 1981 by a Turkish gunman. He suffered from Parkinson's disease in recent years and was twice rushed to hospital in February with breathing crises.
He failed to recover from throat surgery aimed at helping him breathe and on Thursday developed a high fever caused by a urinary infection. He told aides he did not want to return to hospital and received the holy sacrament reserved for the dying.
Some cardinals were summoned to say their final farewells to the Pope, who revitalised the Church, visiting 129 countries and territories in 104 trips outside Italy to bring his vision of Christianity to the masses.
The faithful said special prayers around the world.
In Warsaw, churches were staying open all night and Poles, who revere John Paul as the man who delivered them from 40 years of communist rule from Moscow, prayed in the streets for him to step back from the brink of
"If he were to leave us, we won't have anybody to show us the way, to help us understand the world," said Maria Danecka, one of hundreds who crowded in and around the basilica in Wadowice, the town where the
Pope John Paul II was born in 1920. He went on to be archbishop in the nearby southern city of Krakow.
It was from there that he suddenly sprang onto the world stage on October 16, 1978, a surprise choice for the papacy after his predecessor, John Paul I, died after only a month in office.
From the throne of St Peter he continued to flay communist oppression and human rights abuses elsewhere in the world with the same fire that had marked his sermons in Poland.
But his orthodox line on many Church teachings drew criticism from liberal Catholics in developed countries who opposed his proclamations against contraception, abortion, married priests and women clergy.
A spokesman for US President George W Bush said the outpouring of love for the Pope around the world was "testimony to his greatness".
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice hailed his contribution to the end of communism in Poland and elsewhere in Europe, saying he was "one of the most important actors" in the drama of communism's fall.
After the Pope dies, more than 100 cardinals from around the world, including Australia's George Pell, will be called to Rome to choose a successor at a conclave that normally starts in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel 15 to 20 days after the death.
There is no favourite candidate to take over as head of the Church, but some churchmen believe the developing world should provide the next
Pope as that is where the religion is most vibrant. Nearly half of all Catholics are in Latin America.
According to pre-written Church rules, the pontiff's mourning rites will last nine days and his body is likely to be laid to rest in the crypt underneath St Peter's Basilica.

Girls can choose to wear shorts or a skirt. But it hasn't always been so.
In the 1920s female tennis star Suzanne Lenglen caused a stir - just for playing without a petticoat or corsets.
Then Joan Lycett became the first woman to discard her stockings to play in bare legs and ankle socks.
In 1932, Britain's Bunny Austin became the first top male player to wear shorts in tournaments.
But it's all down to personal preference.
If you are wondering how women hold a tennis ball without having a pocket to use, the answer is a ball clip.
It attaches to the waist band and the ball can be clipped into it to hold it secure.

Rob Thomas Did Not Have Gay Sex With Tom Cruise, Fancies Ryan Gosling Instead
I don't know where the weird rumor that Rob Thomas and Tom Cruise had gay butt-sex together came from, but I do know that when people find out that I am a Matchbox Twenty fan that it's the first thing they tell me. I've heard several different versions of the rumor: one is that Rob's wife Marisol walked in on him and Tom in bed together. Another is that they had sex in a limo after some kind of awards show.
I don't believe the rumors one bit. Although I wouldn't care if Rob was gay, obviously, he has publicly stated in the past that he thinks Scientology is no bueno. And anyway, Tom Cruise doesn't seem like he would be his type.
But some people do, apparently — like the person who asked Rob about having sex with Tom Cruise this weekend during a Reddit AMA.
Here's the comment from a user:
a good friend of mine was once a limo driver in LA. He said that he drove Tom Cruise and the lead singer from Matchbox twenty once. and the definitely did it in the back seat. Not conclusive, because it is hearsay. But funny either way.
And here is Rob's classy response:
all jokes aside. i never slept with tom cruise. funny rumor, but i'm SO more of a ryan gosling fan.
Sigh. Are Rob and I meant for each other? Or are Rob and I meant for each other?
