Tori Spelling Gossip
Tori Spelling gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Plastic Face vs Plastic Robot
Tori Spelling is selling a new book so that she can buy a vasectomy. At one point she talks sh-t about Katie Holmes. Apparently she and Katie were friends when Katie was on Dawson's Creek. Then they ran into each other years later at their vocal coach's office after Katie married Tom Cruise. Full Story
Tori Spelling & KFed Jr are broke
KFed Jr left his wife for the Spelling fortune. He thought he would have it easy. And now his wife is giving interviews to PEOPLE talking about how they're so short on cash money, they can't even afford to buy him a vasectomy. Really? After 5 minutes of research on Google it says it costs between $500 and $1500 for a vasectomy in the US. Full Story
Belly cupping
Tori Spelling is pregnant. And while I don't know how that feels, the way she's feeling right now, and do not intend to, I do know that if I had to be put in that position, I would never, ever, EVER pose with the dude's hand on my belly. YES, it's a beautiful thing. YES, it's a happy thing. Full Story
More attractive with money
Tori Spelling and her husband Kevin Federline Jr were in New York promoting yet another season of their dumbass show yesterday, which, who is watching that sh-t so that it keeps getting renewed??? Anyway, the rumour is that she's pregnant with their 3rd child because she's been wearing flats whenever she can and she's not as sickly thin right now as she's been in the past. Full Story
A friend of mine emailed me today with the subject line: I don't f-cking get it. Me neither. The Oxygen Network has announced that they've not only renewed the Tori Spelling reality show for a 6th – 6!!!! – season, they've also moved ahead with a second show for the couple called, try to restrain yourself here, sTORIbook Weddings, in which Tori and Kevin Federline Jr "turn the bride-to-be's dreams for a beautiful event into a reality (and) help the groom-to-be navigate all the twists and turns. Full Story
She has friends
And they all went shopping together yesterday. And while the paps were around they decided to take iPhone shots of each other. Those are her friends. Here's Tori Spelling out in Brentwood yesterday, skinny as sh-t and makeup free, spending time with her girls. Or whoever they hired to be her girls. Full Story
They're both in yellow
And skinny as f-ck. And blonde. And, um, well, you know, in the face. Sh-t vs diarrhoea. Here's Donatella Versace in blinding yellow in London last night and the wife of Kevin Federline Jr in Miami the other day, also in blinding yellow, at a book signing because... WHY? Every time I ask the question, at no time do I understand. Full Story
On Canada Day
Seems fitting to open with a Canadian. Jason Priestley was photographed yesterday in Toluca Lake and from this distance, underneath those shades, he could still be Brandon Walsh. Looks good, right? Jason is returning to television soon having just booked a guest-starring role on the new series Scoundrels on ABC. Full Story
Bad combination
Tori Spelling was in New York City last night promoting her new book. She keeps coming out with new books. Who the f-ck is reading these books? Who the f-ck is lining up for signed copies of these books? Why the f-ck aren't they reading good books? I hate people. Anyway, as you can see, the woman who married KFed Jr has been looking extra emaciated lately. Full Story
Dumbest Idea Ever: Tori Spelling edition
First there was that assf-cked report that Robert Pattinson was lobbying to play Kurt Cobain. Now ABC is apparently developing a talk show featuring Tori Spelling and her "bff", some random gay they're still searching for who will bounce off her bones like Will & Grace styles. Really? And people would watch this. Full Story
Attention starved
Literally. Last week some bullsh-t report surfaced in Life & Style about trouble between Tori Spelling and KFed Jr. Apparently the publication was able to screen advance footage from new episodes of their show and there are scenes in which the two are questioning what happened to their love. Or something. Full Story
Another useless author
She's already written two, or is it three?, best selling books. Now Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Tori Spelling will be releasing a children's book called Presenting...Tallulah "the tale of a spunky little girl who is constantly told what not to do: not to wear jeans, not to get dirty. Full Story
Junior from behind
If I'm, say, Miss Zahara Jolie-Pitt, and I see naked photos of my parents all over the house, really, there's really not all that much to complain about. Same goes for Nahla Aubry. Definitely Nahla Aubry. But what if your parents are Tori Spelling and Kevin Federline Junior? Would you walk around the house blindfolded? I would. Full Story
Junior's audacity
I thought it was stanky a couple of weeks ago when Tori Spelling and her husband KFed Jr were all mopey faced about her being sick. Of course they shared it on Twitter. And if you suspected it to be a sympathy grab, you wouldn't be entirely off base. Because Jr's ex wife Mary Jo Eustace wrote a book. Full Story

Video shows what looks like iOS 7 running on an iPad
Apple has yet to give developers an iPad version of iOS 7, but photos, videos, and reports are popping up left and right about what the new operating system will look like on the tablet.
A new iPad iOS 7 video (see below) surfaced Tuesday from a Russian-based YouTube user named Rozetked who claims to have the upcoming OS running on his iPad. In the video, the user holding an iPad taps and swipes through different screens and features.
What's shown is awfully similar to what is known about iOS 7 for the iPhone and iPod Touch. When Apple … Read more

Now that suburbia is close to hugging the Everglades border, West Kendall has evolved from an agricultural hub to a residential hotbed. Strawberry fields and orange groves are now upscale restaurants and friendly neighborhood watering holes. From a movie theater that serves up gourmet eats to a tapas bar in the heart of a strip mall, here are the top places to grab a memorable meal or a stiff drink in West Kendall.
The best meals are often the ones tucked away in unexpected places. Miami has plenty of places for culinary double takes. From a lavish tapas bar at the other end of a gasoline station to an offbeat winery in the heart of South Florida's farm country, we reveal our picks for unearthing Miami's surprising adventures. (Photo: Courtesy of El Carajo International
Given Miami's popular shoreline, tourists and locals alike take in the salty seas and are left hungering for seafood. Thankfully this town can throw a net or fishing line down like the rest of them, and an easy way to spoon into the maritime flavor is with a hearty bisque. From traditional lobster to crab meat and even more culinary tweaks, a good cup seafood bisque always warms the soul.
Downtown South Miami has grown up in recent years. Trying to catch the same lightning in a bottle that defined the Grove in the 1980s, a stroll down Sunset Drive between Red Road and U.S. 1 is enhanced with outdoor cafes, charming boutiques and unpretentious bars. From an Irish pub to a jogger's paradise, here are the top places to grab a memorable meal, a stiff drink or a shopping bag in South Miami.
In Miami, this we can guarantee: There's always a party going on somewhere. From a high-tech playground in the financial district to a dueling piano bar in the Grove to a high-tech wine bar in South Miami where swiping plastic is the key to unlimited sips, South Florida has it all. These were Miami's hottest spots in 2009.
South Florida's inviting weather makes eating out a year-round affair. There's never a shortage of buzz-worthy kitchens to check out. From a modern chophouse scooping up rum-baked plantains to the home of a 10-pound burger beast, Miami has something for every palate. Now, in no particular order, find Miami's best restaurants of 2009.
It never fails. Someone throws a potluck party and you're stuck trying to tickle the taste buds of your family, friends or co-workers. From gourmet seafood rice entrees to decadent sticky bun treats, we know where to go when you want to impress even the most jaded of foodies.
A dollar isn't what it used to be, but there are buck magnets beyond the suburban dollar stores. From fish tacos to shots of hot sake, there are $1 deals to be had around Miami if you know where--and when--to look. Let's go over a few of the deals that won't break the bank.
Miami may have faux snow and palm trees wrapped in lights, but the holiday spirit is still as bright as a Christmas tree in South Florida. From Christmas ballet classics to romantic bayfront yuletide concerts, shake away the inner Scrooge this season at these holiday events all over town.
It's party time in Miami. Whether it's co-workers shooting down tequila shots at a corporate soiree or celebratory milestones with family and friends, there is no shortage of restaurants, clubs and museums around town that would love to host the catered affair. From a lively warehouse with all of the nightclub trimmings to an animal park that encourages guests to show their wild side, we found the venues that set the right tone for your festivities.

This skid plate lasted for 3,000 miles of single track mountain trails with big rocks, roots, and log crossing. It lasted 2 trips in Moab with over 500 miles of expert rocky sections. Aside from being functional, it also fits perfect and looks stock. The aluminum skid plates are bulky and create weird sound reverberations. Another plus is the ease of one quick turn of the D-ring to remove it for maintenance or cleaning. It finally broke but I am buying another one since it lasted so long on the ultimate test terrain.

Jimmie Johnson Wins Crown Royal Curtiss Shaver 400
INDIANAPOLIS, Sunday, July 29, 2012 – Make room for Jimmie Johnson among the legends of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Johnson won the Crown Royal Presents the Curtiss Shaver 400 at the Brickyard Powered by BigMachineRecords.com on Sunday, July 29, joining Jeff Gordon as the only four-time winners of the annual NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at IMS.
Five-time Sprint Cup Series champion Johnson also won in 2006, 2008 and 2009. He joins Gordon and Indianapolis 500 legends A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears as four-time winners of an oval race at IMS. Michael Schumacher won the United States Grand Prix five times on the IMS road course.
"Man, you just hope to race here," Johnson said. "To come here and win is a huge honor. And to win four – four wins! I'm at a loss for words. It was a total team effort. We put it on them today. It was nice."
Johnson drove his No. 48 Lowe's/Kobalt Tools Chevrolet to a 4.758-second victory over the No. 18 M&M's Toyota of Kyle Busch. He earned $430,461. Hendrick Motorsports earned its eighth Brickyard victory, extending its event record.
Greg Biffle finished third in the No. 16 3M Ford.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished a Brickyard career best fourth in the No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet, taking the Sprint Cup points lead. Gordon was fifth in the No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet, his 11th top-five finish in 19 starts at this event.
Johnson led 99 of 160 laps in a dominant performance. He took the lead for good by passing Biffle on Lap 132. Johnson's crew won the race in the pits on the final stop of the race, under caution on Lap 134. Johnson then did his part by holding off Biffle on the final restart of the race, on Lap 141, and he pulled away over the final laps on the 2.5-mile oval.
Pole sitter Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski were Johnson's toughest challengers over the first 100 laps.
Hamlin led the first 26 laps in the No. 11 FedEx Express Toyota and one lap thereafter but finished sixth. Keselowski led three times for 22 laps in the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge but faded to ninth.
Indiana natives and Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart both finished in the top 10. Newman, from South Bend, placed seventh in the No. 39 Quicken Loans Chevrolet. Stewart, from Columbus, finished 10th in the No. 14 Mobil 1/Office Depot Chevrolet.
2011 "400" winner Paul Menard finished 14th in the No. 29 Menards/Nibco Chevrolet.
The next event at IMS is the Red Bull Indianapolis GP MotoGP World Championship motorcycle race Aug. 17-19.

Surface:Asphalt and gravel
Last year's RallyRACC-Rally de Espana was unique in that it was the only true mixed surface round of the 2011 World Rally Championship season with one day taking place on gravel and two days run on asphalt.
The use of asphalt and gravel stages on the same event not only increases the challenge facing the crews due to the different driving style requirements, it also adds to the workload placed on the mechanics and engineers, who have to convert their cars from gravel to asphalt specification in a restricted timeframe.
Based on Spain's Costa Daurada in the country's Tarragona region, the event is always one of the highlights of the WRC season and its inclusion as the final round in 2012 will doubtless increase the number of fans who travel to the popular seaside tourist town of Salou to enjoy the party atmosphere and visit the permanent service park at the PortAventura theme park.
While the opening day in Spain last season was in theory a gravel-only leg, just one repeated stage took place entirely on gravel with two repeated stages using a mixture of gravel and asphalt as a means of increasing the challenge for the drivers and raising the spectacle for the many spectators following the action.
But it's the sweeping race circuit-style asphalt roads that characterise this event that will once again dominate the competitive route. To be quick, drivers must maximise their pace through the high-speed turns by taking the optimum line at all times.
As well as hosting the last round of the 2012 world championship season RallyRACC-Rally de Espana will host the WRC's three support championships.

I have had a lot of posts about foodplots lately but i just want to do something that will work. I have limited options for places to put a foodplot. There is a piece of land that i have been hunting that is about 20 acres of a mix of just about everything. There is a trail running through the middle of it that is about 5 yards wide and is about 150 yards long and it opens up into about a 5 acre field but i do not have permission to plant or hunt the majority of the field. I was thinking about disking and planting the trail and right where it opens up into the field in a little 30x30yd area. I was planning to lime and fertilize and then plant with a logger trail seed mix.
I was just curious to hear if you think that this set up will work. I am in northern WI and baited the area last year but i want to get away from baiting to hopefully get more deer movement in daylight hours. Im not sure if such a long skinny plot will pay off though.
Do you think this will work???
Thanks in advance

A-level results: Plenty of success stories at Cumbrian schools
Published at 12:08, Thursday, 16 August 2012
Students nervously anticipating their A-level results found out their grades this morning.
Results were given out at schools across Cumbria, with pupils lining up from the early hours to find out how well they had done.
And the early indications show that there are plenty of success stories.
"We are very pleased so far," said Alan Mottershead, who is the headteacher at Trinity School in Carlisle, as he was sorting through his pupils' grades.
"We've got lots of students with straight A*s or As and other students who I think are going to be pleased with their results."
Trinity pupil Lucy Meekley got an A*, and two As. She is going to study English Literature at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
She said this morning: "I feel like I'm going to faint, I'm so happy."
Lucy said she was going to celebrate by having a meal with her family and then going out with her friend Jessica Adams, 18.
Jessica was also successful and achieved three As. She is going to study English Literature at Lancaster University.
She said: "I don't know how I feel, its just sinking in at the moment and I guess I can enjoy the summer now."
Also celebrating was Natalie Farmer, 18, of Lowry Hill.
She got two A* and three As and is going to study natural science at Durham University. "I am very happy," she said.
"I will spend tonight with my mates."
Dale Callaghan, 18, of Garlands, Carlisle, did better than expected. He got three As and one A*. He was going to study environmental science but is now looking to study law at Sheffield University. "I am absolutely ecstatic," he said.
John McAuley, headteacher at Newman School, was also full of praise.
He said: "Once again, many of our year 13 students will be heading off to university, college or employment with excellent A-level grades. We are thrilled with their success. There are some first-rate individual results and also high performance in specific subjects."
Mr McAuley added that there had been good AS level results for his year 12s. "There is a lot of pressure on young people to do well, and I am always impressed by how they cope with this and continue to achieve success," he also commented.
Nelson Thomlinson School in Wigton also had plenty to celebrate.
Janet Downes, headteacher, said: "We are delighted with our results and our students have achieved some excellent grades once again, with around a quarter of all entries being A or A*.
"Early indications are that the majority of our students have been successful in securing their offers for university, apprenticeships or work related training."
Richard Rose Academy saw record results at both its Central and Morton campuses.
In particular, it has seen a 16 per cent increase in pupils getting grade C or above – from 83 per cent in 2011 to 98 per cent this year. It is the fourth consecutive year of increased performance.
Katie Robinson, headteacher at Richard Rose Morton Academy, said: "We are really pleased, there have been increases in every threshold condition we have looked at."
She also said the results were an endorsement of the way students are taught across two campuses, which gives students access to a range of courses.
Alongside this, she also believes the school's links with local businesses means pupils have a good idea of how to apply their education and qualifications once they have left school.
Russ Wallace, outgoing headteacher at Richard Rose Central Academy, said his pupils' successes were the ideal way for him to mark his retirement from the profession next week.
He said: "It's a fantastic send off and I am walking away with my head held very high."
Mike Gibbons, chief executive of the academies, said: "I am absolutely delighted for all of our students.
"We have tried to create a multitude of learning environments and opportunities and it has paid off. Every individual learns and is motivated by different environments and our 'Pathways' approach provides that flexibility, particularly as it involves two campuses and double the subject matter confident that the GCSEs will follow the same pattern."

"Feeling hot??"
Clean room, friendly staff and good location. The room was sweltering HOT. Even with the "air conditioning" on full blast (in November). Couldn't leave fast enough in the morning to get some fresh air,.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

"Close to university"
It was fine, huge hotel, great breakfast.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
The front desk attendant was extremely unprofessional and inattentive while trying to check in and during our stay. We requested additional sheets and when we went down to the desk to pick them up he then informed us he didn't have a key to access the linen closet. Room smelled a little musty/ smokey. On the upside the breakfast was decent (typical […] hotel spread) and the location is great for walking to downtown Ann Arbor or catching the bus on game days.

"great location to attend Uni of MI Football game"
Thought we could have had a better location within the hotel as the hotel wasn't filled to capacity. Apparently because we booked through your site we had to take a room located in what I consider "The South Wing" meaning the less attractive part of the hotel, the location was like an addition to the hotel which looked like a motel. I was unaware of […] how nice the hotel really was until I went to breakfast and noticed the other side. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

"Better than expected"
Everything was perfect for my visit: the price, the room, the front desk, the breakfast! I was pleasantly surprised because when I first drove in the place did not seem like it would be a clean, nicely maintained hotel. The front desk person was wonderful, my room clean and neat, nice amenities and though it looked like an "iffy" neighborhood, it was […] really nice. I accidentally left my car unlocked and everything was left undisturbed. I will stay there again Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Large facility. Not crowded. GREAT breakfast"
I would definitely stay there againÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Outside not well maintained"
Our room was 298 which was next to 210 so we walked around the long hallways twice and asked several members of the staff where it was and nobody thought to say that it was next to room 210.Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

"Need thorough renovation"
I reserved four nights for my parents who were visiting me in AA. I chose Clarion Hotel because it's near my place and conveniently located. Other than the location, neither my parents and I liked anything about the hotel. The room keys kept malfunctioning. And when we asked them to fix this problem, I don't recall I ever heard their apologies. The […] room smells a little moldy. The dining area smells chlorine because of the swimming pool. The place seems under renovation, so let's hope everything will be better. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Look Can Be Deceiving"
When I booked on line I selected the hotel based upon it's proximity to the destination of my visit and the photos that were posted. I admit I was a litle disappointed when I pulled into the parking area. the landscape was not the best I've seen and thought the inside of the hotel would reflect the condition, however, I was pleasantly surprised. It […] was quite nice inside. It was apparent the hotel have seen better days. My only complaint was the need to step out the room to obtain wi-fi connection and the hotel lobby and common areas really was not up to sanitation par with webs in the windows and rips in the sofas which were in need of serious cleaning. Also continental breakfast was inaccessible to people in wheel chairs because of the steps. However, I would not have a problem staying there again, although I do think that room charges are higher than what the hotel merits. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Not at all like pictures"
This is an old motel that they have tried to turn into hotel. There was a 1 inch gap under the door to the hallway and a strange vent above door so you can hear all of hallway noise. Shower was very difficult to turn on and when I called front desk they were snippy with me. I have stayed in many hotels and this was the worst!!!!!!!Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"old and stinky"
My first room had wet floors and smelled like mold, my second room had the air conditioner quit working and got very hot, only good was seems to be safe neighborhood and has a good hot breakfast, but with the repairs needed here, it is a 50.00/night hotel and not a 90.00/night hotel for sure.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"U of m"
The lobby was beautiful and rooms around it were nice. However we were put in their oldest section of rooms along the highway. We were there in the middle of the week and plenty of available rooms existed. The old rooms were very old!!!! The hallways were stained and unaircoditioned. They just had fans stuck in the walls to cool it down. The paint was […] peeling. Lights in our room didn't work. We felt like second class compared to the other hotel guests. I don't know why they would put us in those rooms when nice rooms existed. I will not stay there again. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"A little outdated, but comfortable"
Some of the furniture shows its age with a little wear, but the hotel is clean, the pool and hottub were a nice relaxing activity for the evening, the continental breakfast was nice, the air conditioner was heavenly. One downside: the hotel outside of the rooms was rather humid, the elevator was humid, broken ice machine on my floor, but easily accessible […] machine on the floor just below. Bathrooms and showers were very nice. Microwave and fridge in room. Desk with a comfortable chair to do work at, nice TV, REALLY comfortable bed. All in all, I recommend it for the price!

The continental breakfast was very good with plenty of choices. Hotel is conveniently located. The decor could use some updating, but it was very clean and the pool/hot-tub are well kept.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
The condition of the hotel was okay but at $75/night I was hoping for more. I had an outdoor room which was a little confusing to find at first. When I entered the AC was blasting and the room was freezing. Not terrible, considering how hot it was outside. The hotel appeared to have some staffing issues so getting initial service was a little slow. […] Overall, the hotel met my needs for the one night I stayed.

"Great Nights Stay w/Jacuzzi& Zingermans Roadhouse"
Our stay was OUTSTANDING! Comfortable, accessible, quiet, complimentary breakfast was good and the lobby decor and pool is awesome! My husband and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! We were there for a conference but definitely enjoyed some amenities while we were there. Right down the street is, "Zingerman's Roadhouse" in the West Gate shopping […] plaza. Their Delmonico Steak with cheesy mashed potatoes & charred grilled asparagus was delicious! The BEST steak I've had in years. Their sweet potato fries are actually thick wedges and dee'lich as well! The hotel does have their own bar & grill inside it but, we arrived rather late in the evening and it closes at 10pm. Zingerman's is a great not even a 1/4 mile alternative (but our first choice from here on out!). There are refreshments ongoing in the front lobby of the Clarion coffee, tea, lemonade, ice water and cookies. Nice touch to an extended drive and a treat on the way to your room! Grand job CLARION Ann Arbor, MI. No complaints here whatsoever ;) ! Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

They really really need to up date the rooms ! good if you are staying to sleep, Service was good, had to ask to be moved to a different room. Was to far away from everyone being by myself.

Too many bad things to list again but the worst was that the room was never cleaned during our 3 night stay and we had to ask every day for clean towels.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Don't bother, there are better places in Ann Arbor"
The front desk clerk was rude, the spa was out of order and my room was stifling hot, for starters. Also, the TV remote control didn't work and the hotel is a maze. I had to go back and ask for a map because there is such poor directional signage, I couldn't find where my room was.

I got to the hotel after a long day at work, I got to the room and unpacked my stuff. Just wanted to relax, take a hot shower and get ready for dinner. I go to take a shower and there is no water. I called down to the front desk, and 15 minutes later they sent a maintenance man, he worked on it for 20 minutes and was unable to resolve the issue. I called […] the front desk and they decided to move me to the room next door, I the. Proceeded to move my things to the room next door. I am now in the new room, I go to take a shower, and again.. No water!! I am now frustrated, so I call the front desk and ask if I can move again with a room upgrade, they agreed and put me in a Jacuzzi suite, which you think would be nice, but ended up being a noisy night! The Fridge was loud, the sleep number bed was stuck on 100, and it was like sleeping on cement.

1. Check in not pleasing. They asked for my credit card for incidentals. Normally I don't have a problem with it. But I asked what incidentals? The restaurant, and room service were not available. Then they said just in case I damage the room (yeah right). 2. Bathroom door hinges rusted. Had to force door to shut. 3. The entrance door to the room would […] not close behind you when you entered the room. I had to force that door closed as well. If you wanted to eat between 10am and 5pm you had to leave the hotel.

"Not recommended"
I would not recommend this hotel. It is an older hotel that is in need of repairs. The A/C did not work in the exercise room and they did not have any milk available for the continental breakfast.

"Clean the hallways"
Our stay wasn't worth the cost of it, frankly. The place had dirty hallways. The side doors were left opened several times with rocks, which did not make me feel safe. There were cobwebs in the stairwells and the carpets looked very old. I also thought I was trapped in the bathroom because the door was getting stuck locked.

It served our purpose of being an overnight stay prior to destination for a reasonable price with a nice breakfast. The room needed updated and likely would not be our choice for an extended stay.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Run down"
I chose this hotel because it advertised wifi, a pool, a hot tub and an exercise room. No wifi for the first 2 days. Pool too warm and over chlorinated.

I loved the staff. they were great and worked really hard to make sure we were enjoying our stay. the hotel needs updates, but they were working hard every time i seen any staff , and you can tell they really were trying to make a good impression. the nice thing too is that it was very affordable, and for a quick weekend stay, its just what i needed.

FRANKENMUTH -- "It's almost like a relationship, like a friendship relationship with the small businesses," said tourist William Flint.
And for small business Saturday owners capitalized on what they do best.
"The ability to talk to the customer and talk about my product it adds a lot to the product itself I think," said Zachery Kidder.
Thousands of Little Bavaria shoppers couldn't complement these small businesses enough.
"They keep telling us they love the assortment Judy carries here because they don't find them in the big box stores so they do come here for a reason," said Toy Company employee Lila Roux.
And that reason is unique in a market dominated by big business.
"Where I am from there isn't a lot of small businesses, everything is a chain," said Flint.
But shoppers say they recognize the importance of small business Saturday.
"Creating jobs and making money. Bringing in just that warm feeling," said Flint.
"Everyone here is a one or two person business so it's just a way to give back to the community and they invest their funds into the community that grows them," said Dietrich Bronier.
These employee's aren't going on strike and aren't complaining about wages. Employee's at Mac's are still working with their hands and greeting customers with a smile.
"It is important to get people to focus kind of on the way it used to be. Being able to go into towns and enjoy the small business aspect of things," said Mac's owner Zak McClellan.

It took barely 24 hours for the troops-out-of-Afghanistan chorus to break into an outpouring of editorials demanding the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan now that Osama bin Laden is dead. Now you have your prize, they smugly hummed, so let's call it a day. Though there is sometimes an underlying resentment that bin Laden was taken from this world--like when Chris Hedges says his "stomach sank" upon hearing the news--the stoppist opportunists are seizing what they can from the moment anyways.
The "bin Laden's done, now let's desist" argument suffers from numerous fallacies, the first of which is an appalling historical amnesia. It's not in the very distant past that the US already once washed its hands of Afghanistan prematurely after some fairly significant covert meddling in Afghan affairs, in the interest of their own foreign policy objectives.
As Afghanistan turned to face a post-Soviet world at the dawn of the 1990s, it found America's back turned, and much of the rest of the international commmunity followed suit. Into the post-Najibullah void poured the competing muj factions who unleashed violence and chaos over a population in desperate need of a functioning state, rather than a...More >>

It had all custom built speakers ---
Mains were 4, 4" full range drivers, ported enclosure

My garage rig consists of a semi-vintage Realistic STA-870 receiver (that was my Mom's back in the 80's), a pair of Mirage M-290 that I rescued from Craigslist in non-working condition, and my original 1st Gen Playstation that is used for CD playback.
The Mirage had a crack in one of the crossover boards. I soldered a jumper across the crack and they not work fine (and actually sound very sweet). They were pretty beat up, but last weekend, I actually re-did the fabric on the grills and touched up a few areas with a Sharpie. Now they look pretty darn good. I am actually going to move these inside now and put them in my son's room, so I'll be looking for a new pair of garage speakers. Maybe a pair of large advents if I can find some cheap....
"What's your garage rig look like?"
The idea was to post some pics! Where's the pics?

For about the past week it has looked like this.
And it sounds surprisingly good.
I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
Here are some of my old ones:
Long live the Man Cave Garage Rig!
^ that last pic looks kinda familiar...actually 2 and 3 do as well. LOL
I've enjoyed them. Nice garage. I'd have to move all the garage sale stuff off my Fisher console on the carport to add any pics here. I'll put it on the to do list.
You can only run a garage rig up here for less than a few months. Mostly summer, so I haven't gotten around to it. I am thinking of throwing a Lepai 2020A+ T-amp out there with some appropriately matched bookies and a portable player device. I have a set of Celestion Ditton DL 6s in the basement that aren't used much there, perhaps they'll be "moving" soon?

Hey Steve,
Whatever happened to all that vintage stuff in your old house ? Didn't you have a vintage man cave thing going on ?
I'm using the rig, but all the 70's decorations are packed up. Doesn't really go with a santa fe style joint...LOL. I gave the HPM-40's to my buddy that helped me move.
I'm going to build a bar area in the shop one day, likely a santa fe/cowboy/mexican themed sorta bar, once we get the place repaired from the storm damage. I'm still "cooking" some ideas on the theme, but I think it will be really cool. Think wine barrel tables, rustic wood floors, oil burning lamps....

Your Freelance Visa for Germany / Europe
My girlfriend Catalina is from Colombia (nah, that's not her on the photo). We have been in a long distance relationship for the last 18 months and - oh lord - ldr sucks! I committed because I love her and I knew that eventually she would come to Europe and we would be together.
Before we could be together there was a minor issue to be solved, the visa. Since Colombia is not part of the most-wanted immigrating nationalities in Germany, this looked like a fun bureaucratic project. There were three options:
1. Student / Language course visa.
Pros: comparably little paper work. Cons: Language course or studies need to be setup before, including financial commitment to either one. No work possible during stay. Max. duration 12 months.
2. Au-Pair visa.
Pros: little paper work. Cons: No real interest to do au pair. Limited options to work.
A friend of mine from Canada, Aycha, told me that she got her visa through a woman, Steffi, who is specialized in getting visa for artists. The best of all: It allows the holder to work as a freelancer! The service is straight forward and the price (750 EUR) seemed ok.
So I got in touch with Steffi and we hired her.
Happy Ending: Steffi guided us through the process very smoothly and everything worked out as planned. Catalina just got her visa and is coming to Europe in a few weeks!
There are a few questions we had before we started with Steffi, which I have put together and answered below.
If you consider moving to Germany / Europe and would like to work here, get in touch with me. I am happy to introduce you to Steffi and help with the visa!
About Steffi
Steffi runs a Berlin based agency that specializes in getting freelance visa for international artists. In the last years she organized visa for dozens of artists from all over the world.
The Visa
She is spezialized in getting the so-called freelance visa for artists. The german immigrant law has very strict rules for most professionals trying to come and work in Germany, except for artists / freelancers. While for other professions the approval process of foreign certificates is very tediuos, for artists / freelancers it is not. The reason is simply because the formation of an artist is not as linear and formalized as other professions and thus it does not require an official certificate. Another reason is that the freelancer status is non-threatening for german authorities since the immigrating freelancer will not take any jobs from germans. In almost all cases the freelancer working and living in Germany will generate income and pay taxes in Germany.
For how long can I stay with a Freelance Visa?
Your visa will be granted for 12 months. After those twelve months the visa is easily renewable and will be extended for another two years.
What can I do with a Freelance Visa?
As a freelancer you will be able to offer your services to any kind of company that accepts invoices. Freelance work is most common in areas such as programming, design, consulting. Opposed to a normal employment you will need to cover your health insurance yourself (Steffi will advise you on which one is the best) and income tax is not automatically deducted every month but once a year (Steffi will assist you with this at the end of the first year of your visa).
Basically as a freelancer you can work for any given company in a very similar way as an employee, you just need to invoice the company instead of getting a salary.
Do I need to be an Artist?
No. Steffi specializes in visa for artists but you don't need to be a professional artist to work with her. She will need to prepare your application in an artistic way so every bit in your personal history that has an artistic touch, everything that could be related to you being an artist helps a lot. If you really have no artistic roots, she is also capable of guiding you through the process of applying for different visa (e.g. language course, au-pair).
Where can I live and work with this Visa?
The visa will be issued in Berlin, Germany. The visa is National visa that allows you to live and work in Germany. BUT: In order to comply with these rules, you need to officially spend 180 days of the year in Germany. Since there are no boarder controls within Schengen states, this is hard to control for the authorities so basically it gives you the possibility to live anywhere within the Schengen states, as long as you stay registered in Germany.
For your work live it is even easier: Since as a freelancer you might be working for foreign companies but can do your work remotely in many cases (programmers, designers) the mere fact that you are working for a foreign company is not enough to prove that you don't reside in Germany. Just for work relationships where on-site presence is required it is important that the amount of work days doesn't exceed 180.
So basically the visa gives you the freedom to live and work wherever you want within the Schengen states, without being an official Schengen visa.
How much does the Visa cost?
Steffi charges a fee of 750,00 EUR for our services. Here is her service in detail:
Advice for preparation of the required papers for a work permit (1 year) (incl. opening a bank account, getting health insurance etc.)
Assistance for the appointment at the German embassy in the originating country.
Setup of the appointment at the Visa office in Berlin, Germany.
Personal assistance at the visa office to translate and help after arrival in Germany.
Steffi has built a strong relationship with the authorities in Germany in the last years and until now all visa she applied for were approved.
How do I know this is not a scam?
True, there are a lot of shady people out there trying to make money of people's desire to come and work in Europe. This is not the case with Steffi. She runs a small agency that started of by helping international artists come to Berlin and would like to open this to a bigger public now. If you decide to work with her, she will sign a contract that defines her obligations and contains her legal information. In addition to that she can provide you with contacts of people who she has helped to come to Europe.
The Process
If you think that the freelance visa is the right visa for you, here is the process:
1. If you decide to work with her, she will sign a contract stating our and your obligations.
2. The service fee is due upon signing of the contract.
3. After the service fee is paid, she will send you a list of all documents needed for the application process. She will assist you in the preparation of the documents ( bank statements, health insurance, reference letters). From experience with former clients she can say that this step takes approximately 2 - 4 weeks.
4. You set up an appointment with your local German embassy.
5. For the appointment the package of document needs to be ready. You will personally go to the embassy and hand in your visa application with the complete package of documents. This package is sent via mail to the authorities in Berlin.
6. She is in touch with the authorities in Berlin to make sure to get notified as soon as the package arrives. She will then make sure that the details are ok and your case gets approved as fast as possible.
7. After your visa is approved by the authorities in Berlin, they will notify your local German embassy. You will then get a notification from your local Germany embassy, that you can go and pick up the visa. Usually they first give you a 90-days visa which then will be extended to a 12-months visa upon your arrival in Berlin.
8. As soon as you know, when you will get to Berlin, she will schedule an appointment with the authorities. She will accompany you to this appointment and make sure that you get your 12-months visa and work permit!
Thats it!

New Orleans Police say the dog was working in the Premier Parking garage in the 900 block of Iberville Street near the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at 6 p.m. when it fell off the roof. Federal Agents and Police rushed the Belgian shepherd to a Metairie Veterinary hospital by motorcade, but veterinarians were unable to revive the dog.

Senior campaign aide Robert Gibbs said instructions were sent several days ago to Reggie Love, the president's former body man and frequent basketball companion, to organize an Election Day game.
The game kicked off shortly after 2 p.m. at the Attack Athletics facility in downtown Chicago. A White House aide said that in addition to Love, "friends and staff" were participating in the game, including Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Obama friend Mike Ramos.
"I think it's safe all rituals will be observed," said Gibbs, who also noted that the one time the president didn't play basketball on an Election Day was when he had a surprise loss to Hillary Clinton in the 2008 New Hampshire primary.
"We won't make that mistake again," he joked.
One thing the president did not do Tuesday was visit any additional battleground states, the campaign's traveling press secretary Jen Psaki said, even as Romney went out to meet and greet voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania until polls closed.
That was a calculated decision not to get in the way of the campaign's get-out-the-vote efforts in the battleground states, said Stephan Cutter, a senior adviser to the campaign.
"On Election Day, the last thing you want to do is take your GOTV staff off from getting people out to the polls," she told CNN.
Instead, the president was aware his fate was largely out of his hands and instead in those of the thousands of grassroots operatives and volunteers who are charged with getting voters to the polls across the country.
Speaking to a Virginia crowd Saturday night, Obama mused that he now felt like a "prop" because there was little left he could do with so few hours remaining until voters issued their final judgment.
"It's up to the volunteers," he told the Virginia crowd. "It's up to somebody knocking on a door. It's up to somebody making a phone call."
Ultimately, the president spent the majority of his time Tuesday simply trying to stay at ease with a close circle that includes the first lady and old friends such as Martin Nesbitt and Marvin Nicholson.
He also put the finishing touches on two speeches -- one for a victory, and the other for the eventuality that he lost.
And just as the first wave of results flowed in, the president sat down to dinner with the first lady, his two daughters and mother-in-law -- all of whom flew in from Washington earlier in the evening.
At that final rally in Iowa on Monday night, Bruce Springsteen ended his 30-minute concert with his classic, "In the Land of Hopes and Dreams," crooning, "Well, you don't know where you're goin' now, but you know you won't be back."
It was a fitting end for a president who didn't yet know if he'd hold on to White House but could be certain his days as a candidate were forever over.

Anime: A History
Andrew Osmond reviews the book of anime's first century
Anime: A History questions the stories we think we know of anime's rises and falls, its heroes and breakthroughs. The book is about Japanese animation as a messy, multi-stranded medium, always struggling to adapt to new generations, technologies and business models, transforming so thoroughly that a kid may barely comprehend the cartoons his dad grew up with, let alone his grand-dad's.
Blue Exorcist versus Buso Renkin
If you liked that... you might like this
One advantage of Blue Exorcist over some other supernatural/fight anime is that it doesn't run for hundreds of episodes. Instead, it accommodates plenty of twists and transformations in just 26 parts (including one video). The same is true of Buso Renkin, an older show in a similar vein, available from Manga Entertainment in a single box set.

Tom Smith dives in to the band behind Naruto Shippuden Box 15
Who's NICO, and what's their obsession with walls? It's a question you may ask yourself upon discovering the artist name behind Naruto Shippuden's eighth opening theme. They call themselves NICO Touches the Walls and, despite the ridiculous name, they are a pretty big deal in Japan right now.

Madhouse Studios adapted the four manga volumes covering the last arc of Rei Hiroe's action-packed manga before its 2010 hiatus as five videos, released in Japan across 2010 and 2011, and there does not seem to have been much of a drop in quality from the first two seasons of Black Lagoon.
