"Terrible Service"
The worst stay ever in my life. Staff at front desk was very rude and impolite. I will never consider a Holiday Inn again.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Close to airport"
The room was nice and big and the pool was right outside a sliding door. It was quiet and the staff was wonderful! The room was very clean. It was close to the airport which was convenient for me. I would stay there again! It was a great deal for the money!Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
It took 30+ minutes for the shuttle to show.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"For the Cost it cannot be beat"
Got a great rate on this hotel. Very close to Grapevine Mills Mall. Excellent hotel. Best stay for the money that we've found so far.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Single Shuttle Van"
They only had one shuttle van [approx 8 people], had to wait at the airport for 50 minutes before transfer to hotel. Next morning got last two spots on shuttle to the airport, next shuttle to airport was 45-60 minutes later. The heater/fan in the room was very loud, we unable to turn the fan to a lower speed or even off, very little sleep.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Great!! Will stay again!!!"
Comfortable, convenient, accessible. Reasonable rate. Good breakfast!!!Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"never again"
There was a very large party with a DJ going on, on the second floor 24 hours a day all weekend, kids running up and down the halls screaming all the time and the staff did nothing to stop itUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would of like was regular scrambled eggs for breakfast. Everything was great otherwise. we would come again.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Close to the North entrance to the DFW airport"
The hotel met all of our travel needs. It was one exit away from the airport which was our primary goal. We did not make any effort to explore the area for restaurants so we were limited to the one restaurant available in a nearby hotel that was only adequate. The neighborhood was essentially a "hotel/motel strip mall" with one gas station (with inflated […] prices) to take care of the obligatory fill up before returning the rental car.

"close to my sisters home in Irving"
Hotel was very nice and clean. We booked a suite with a king sized bed. We expected the bedroom to be separate from the kitchenette and living quarters. It was fine just not what we expected.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Virtually Nothing Good to Report About Our Stay"
We were sorely disappointed with our stay. We were only in town for 2 nights for a memorial service and have a 5 and a 6 year old, so just wanted convenience. We ran a search on Hotels.com for a hotel that had a 24 hour airport shuttle (since our flight did not get in until midnight), a breakfast buffet, and a pool. I called ahead to see how we could […] pick up the shuttle and was told by an insanely rude hotel clerk that they do not have a 24 hour shuttle. No apology when I told her my confirmation clearly stated they did, no offer to inform the manager so the misinformation could be corrected, just a snotty attitude. So, we rented a car. In our room the A/C unit was so loud it sounded like we were sitting on a freeway. We turned it off and slept without a/c. Because we arrived so late, we slept in until 9:30 then rushed down to breakfast, which they said ended at 10. Well at 9:40 a.m., there was not a stitch of scrambled eggs, bacon, or toast left. We foraged for some cold cereal that tasted like it was made of paste. Later, we went to the pool and wondered why it was completely empty even though it was 90 degrees out and the hotel was full. Turns out, it was so brutally cold it was impossible to use. Our 5 and 6 year old were so disappointed. I really having nothing good to say about our stay.

"Holiday Inn Express - DFW Airport"
There was a horribly loud party in one of the conference rooms that the hotel allowed to continue well past 1 AM. There were DJ's blasting hip-hop music much to the disregard of other hotel patrons. We asked the front desk several times to intervene and they would not since the party guests had booked 45 rooms.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Poor communication with Airport Shuttle"
Bad experience with free airport shuttle. I called the hotel and informed them we arrived and had are luggage. I was told to go to the exit by gate E14. After waiting 45 min, a Taxi driver told me the hotel shuttles only pickup on the arrivals level. I called the hotel to verify and they confirmed this and told me the shuttle was full and I would have […] wait for the next one. We stayed one day at the beginning of the trip and used a Park n Fly package. This could been avoided if they would of provided clear instructions where the pick point is. We seen shuttles from other hotels stopping where we were at. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Blame Hotels.com"
The check-in process was seamless until I reached my room. I reserved and paid extra for a king bed but was given two queens. When I called the desk I was told they have no more king beds so I simply asked if they could adjust my rate back to the quoted price online for a room with two queen beds, this was the response: "no I can't, you booked online […] with hotels.com and they shouldn't have even offered you that type of room, you'll have to call them". My 20hr day of international travel was topped off with no working lights in the bedroom or power to the alarm clock... It will be interesting to see if this survey matters to either of the two parties that were more than happy to take my payment for the room. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

Overall, this hotel is very good. The king size bedroom I was reserved for was very comfortable. Not too much noise can be heard from the inside of the room. Housekeeping did a good job.

"Several Observations"
Overall, this was a great hotel. Perhaps that is why the few small things that didn't measure up were so glaringly obvious. It was one of the biggest motel rooms I've ever had. Lots of room. Separate shower was nice. Room was very comfortable. Some negatives. I could never find a hotel directories book in the room. The air conditioner was loud and not […] very effective. It ran the entire two days I was there, never reaching the desired temperature of 67 degrees. There seemed to be a lack of attention to detail at check-in. I was given a room card different from the room number. I noticed and she corrected it. But at 11:00pm someone tried to get into my room, even after double-checking the room card they had been given. Finally, the dining room area was VERY loud. It looks nice and modern with all the tile and glass, but perhaps some wall hangings or floor rugs would go a long way in lowering the noise level. I could literally hear the roar of it as I approached. I can't imagine having a conversation with someone in there. I took my food back to the room both days I was there. Yes, I would stay here again, but a few minor changes would really push this place over the top. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

We had 14 people in 5 rooms and we were all very please. Only complain: a couple of rooms had loose faucets in the kitchenette, no real biggie. It was a little tricky figuring out where to exit, (one guy wanted to just kick it in to 4-wheel drive, I mean it was right there) but once you figured out you could only get on the frontage road at Freeport […] Pkwy, no more problem.

"Nice sccommodations but overbooked with no parking"
Accommodations very nice. Stayed in suite with ample space for 4 people. Near DFW and hotel has a park and fly program. Hotel was completely booked weekend of our stay. With bookings and park and fly program, there were NO parking spaces upon our return to the hotel each evening. We had to park in one of the hotel entrances the first night and the second […] night we got the last available space and noticed vehicles were parked in the grassy areas of the hotel. In addition, breakfast is served 7a-10a during the weekend. Fortunately, we made the decision to eat early but learned the hotel ran out of most breakfast selections by 9 a.m. We did not have enough towels in our room and when we inquired at front desk to obtain additional towels, were we told they were out as guests had taken room towels to pool rather than using poolside towels. we had to use hand towels after our showers.

ASU freshman Jacobsen off to solid start
A 6-foot-10 forward, Jacobsen is averaging 4.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 12 minutes of action per game.
The Hamilton High School product grabbed nine rebounds against Sacramento State and scored 16 points against Hartford a few days later, showing glimpses of the potential that has head coach Herb Sendek excited for the player's future even while his present has been pretty good.
"Usually you're just not as far along as somebody who's 21 or 22 years old, especially if you're a frontcourt player," Sendek told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday. "There's still a pretty good learning curve in terms of the level of detail that now goes into each and every game."
Sendek likened Jacobsen to former ASU star Jeff Pendergraph, who entered college quite a bit smaller than he needed to be to compete at a high level.
"Eric comes in and he already has a solid base," Sendek said. "That's one real fundamental difference, is just being physically ready to play, which he is."

My husband and I traveled to Belize for our first trip ever to Central America! It surpassed our every expectation!
Our Un-cruise Christening on the Safari Endeavor. We had the pleasure of staying aboard the ship over the weekend and kayaking, eating gourmet food, and relaxing.
This spring my husband and I set off to explore Belize on our custom "Adventure's in Paradise" Tour. We began by relaxing on the beach in Ambergris. Then we were on to a luxurious stay at Hamanasi Dive Resort to swim with the sea creatures that abound. Finally we ended our Belize tour at Pooks Hill Jungle Lodge with excursions to the ATM Cave and the magical Mayan ruins that surround …

Belize is wonderful, so much diversity, jungle, animals, beautiful birds, ruins, barrier reef (which is the second largest in the world).

We traveled to Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls to visit with our son, Danny, who is studying in BA for a semester. With side trips to Colonia, Uruguay and the Tigre Delta, we had an action packed week of sightseeing and adventure. Enjoy our trip photos!!
This was truly an adventure of a lifetime in Belize. From the jungle to the ruins to the reef off Ambergris Caye - it was all a unique and wonderful experience on our Belize tour.
Our Peru travels took us from Lake Titicaca to the Sacred Valley and the fantastic Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. We finished our Peru trip with a few days in Cusco. Good people, great food, inspiring culture and unforgettable landscape.

The Global FlyFisher - A Good Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly TyingTie BetterFirst published January 1st 2002 - More than 12 years ago
More about: Advanced | Fly Tying | Tying Thread | Tie Better | Comment All about fly tying thread - Thread controlThread control is one more tool to use in the process of tying nice flies. Learn it here.
Spinning the thread
Flat thread
Thread has an inherent twist
What happens is that the thread starts twisiting when you start winding. And as you can see, it gets more and more twisted the more you wind. The twisting has two obvious effects; the thread adds a still thicker layer on the hook shank and it becomes and increasing problem to keep the turns close and tight. So, let's learn to remove the twist and flatten the thread. Spin the bobinholder
Squeeze the thread You will want to repeat this maneouvre once in a while when you are tying. it is natural to do so before preparing material or a couple of times when you are winding thread over the shank.
Twisted thread
There's no one way Yes, I think I do. What I'm trying to tell you is that there's no one way of handling a thread. Knowing the way the thread works under any condition
Let's have an example
is the key to using the thread. In other words: thread control. Reverse twist
First example
Reverse the problem
While you tie you put in many revolutions of clockwise twist. These will make the thread curl towards the eye of the hook when the thread is slack. Thread control, example 2
Problem: ugly tinsel body Let's analyse what you just did. What happened in the example above was the following:
Solution: A smooth foundation If you want to make a really nice looking tinsel or floss body, it's highly important that the thread underneath is as smooth as possible. This is not very hard to obtain. The first thing is to choose a good thread. Some threads are easier than others when it comes to flattening. The best of all are undoubtly the Bennichi and Dynacord threads which are extremely thin and made from absolutely parallel strands. These can be made to lie in an almost invisible single strand layer. Of the ordonary threads I have tried, the Monochord is the best for counterspinning and flattening. It's fairly thick, but nice to tie with. The Uni Threads are the roundest of the bunch. Still good and fairly strong, but harder to get flat. Using the 8/0 version of this thread will make good results possible as many of the best tyers prove daily.
Cover all the shank Types of thread
There are a number of brands and types of threads on the market. Modern threads are almost all versatile threads, that are strong enough to be used for many kinds of tying. I have tied with the following threads, and will comment shortly on each of them below. These are my personal opinions. Other tyers might feel otherwise...
Monochord is a 'classic' type of thread. It's fairly thick, waxed and kind of stiff. It's very easy to use and quite strong. It flattens well which is good because it's thick. It comes in a variety of colors amongst others a lot of nice light ones. Some people like waxed threads, but personally I prefer to apply wax where needed and have a smooth thread for most of my tying. The wax always seems to end up in the tube of the bobinholder and on the outside of the heads of small flies. The Monochord is very durable when it comes to flaring. Hit a point or a sharp edge of a bead chain eye... and probably nothing will happen. Uni-Thread is a fairly round and rough thread. It's probably the weakest thread compared to thickness of the ones that I have tried. I still like to use it because it's very pleasant and easy to work with, and not least because it comes in a lot of natural colors: greys, browns, olives etc. It also comes in several thicknesses: 3/0 (very thick! - good for ribbing), 6/0 and 8/0. The 6/0 is good for general tying, but as the thread flattens poorly it will add some bulk to most flies. The 8/0 is a great thread to tie with, but it breaks fairly easily. And I don't think I'm particularly tough on it. None of the Uni-Threads seems voulnerable to hook points and other sharp edges. This thread comes from Italy and is nominally a 12/0 thread. But even thought it is thin, it's probably more like 10/0 or so. In spite of this, the Bennechi thread is an extremely strong thread made from GSP (Gel Spun Polypropylene). The thread is milky white and made from many very thin and absolutely parallel strands. These can be made to lie in an almost invisible single strand layer. It is unwaxed and extremely smooth. This can be a problem if you are used to waxed or rough threads that bite. A bit of hard wax on small sections of the thread will solve the problem. Hit a hook point or anything sharp with the Bennechi thread and it will shed a lot of extremely thin strands. This doesn't seem to weaken the thread, but it's very annoying especially when tyeing small flies. The thread only comes in white. It can be colored with markers, but I personally prefer to change to a colored thread where it's needed. Dynachord is marketed in Europe by German RST. It is a GSP thread of the same type as the Bennechi, but a bit thicker and almost unbreakable. Like the Bennechi thread it can be flattened to be almost invisible. Unlike other threads the Dynachord seems to be wound with a counterclocwise spin, which actually means the a right handed tyer winding clockwise will remove the twist while tying. The comments on Bennechi regarding smoothness and color applies to Dynachord too even though I have had a pinkish Dynachord thread once. Kevlar is strong, but that's almost the only good thing there is to say about it. Some tyers prefer to use it for lots of flies mostly muddlers, salt water flies and bass bugs, but I find the very stiff, thick and rough thread annoying to use. It's also rough on fingers, materials and tools - namely bobinholders and scissors. This is a thread I have only seen in one place, when I got a few spools from Gudebrod to try while tying at a show. I was immediately pleased with the thread which is fairly thick, but very strong and easy to flatten. The spools I have contain 200 yards which means that they last a long time. I like to use this thread for deer hair flies as it flattens well, is strong enonugh but doesn't have the drawbacks of Kevlar or the GSP threads.

Quick Quotes – Skylanders to save toys from video games
"I wanted to reinvigorate toys, because I see the magic of toys has dropped. Younger and younger kids are losing interest in toys. Video games are so powerful and engaging and fun that toys don't typically compete with your average kid. But I believe there is a place for toys.
"I want to see more stuff like this. What I hope is that, a year or two from now, a kid goes into the store expecting the toy car or the robot that he gets is going to come to life. I bet you they have to."
– Toys for Bob's Paul Reiche talks to Kotaku about the idea behind the statue-to-game character mechanic of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures.

Sail-World.com : Marine Photographers urged to use IPTC metadata to protect Copyright
Marine Photographers urged to use IPTC metadata to protect Copyright
'Image with IPTC data' Brendan Maxwell
Sailing and boating clubs and events need to address the need for copyright protection of images taken by event photographers. This is not a new problem, but as the media world consumes more and more images, the problem of unattributed or incorrectly attributed images being supplied by clubs and events to media is growing.
There is a constant struggle to get sailing coverage in mainstream media, and the photo attribution issue does not aid that struggle. Media react badly – very badly – having published event-supplied images in good faith when they are sent legal letters or receive aggressive emails or phone calls from event photographers complaining that their images have either not attributed or incorrectly attributed.
This seems to happen mostly when images are supplied to clubs by amateur or semi-professional photographers who are unfamiliar with the professional solutions available to ensure their data stays with their images.
The solution was developed almost 30 years ago. The magic words are 'IPTC metadata.' IPTC metadata is a standardised data set of textual information in images defined by the International Press Telecommunications Council. Developed for professional photographers, it allows photographers to attach information to images for electronic submissions.
The IPTC data stores captions, keywords, location, photographers' contact details and copyright information, among other items.
Because the image's information is stored in a standard way, it can be accessed by other IPTC-aware applications, used by major media outlets.
Professional marine photographers routinely use IPTC metadata. However there are a range of amateur and semi-professional photographers supplying images to events and clubs, causing the industry issues because they are not conforming to professional standards.
No IPTC metadata - Brendan Maxwell
So what is the solution for event managers?
Ask your event photographer to show you the IPTC metadata on supplied images. This does not just apply to paid media but to anyone supplying images to your event.
Insist in writing that all images supplied and distributed by photographers to the event contain specific details: event name, photographer name and photographers website at an absolute minimum.
This is sensible protection for the photographer, and it is a simple way to ensure you do not become the meat in the sandwich between angry media and angry photographers. It's a no-win situation that no one needs.

It turns out this topic was more timely than I realized. Today (March 28) the American Academy of Pediatrics says Facebook causes depression in children. I think that probably goes for our inner children as well.

By Jamie Dupree
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced on Wednesday evening that she would not run for President, becoming the second high profile Republican in two days to opt against a bid for the White House.
Here is Palin's statement that she issued to supporters:
October 5, 2011
Wasilla, Alaska
After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.
My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office - from the nation's governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the "fundamental transformation" of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.
From the bottom of my heart I thank those who have supported me and defended my record throughout the years, and encouraged me to run for President. Know that by working together we can bring this country back - and as I've always said, one doesn't need a title to help do it.
I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, including in the race for President where our candidates must embrace immediate action toward energy independence through domestic resource developments of conventional energy sources, along with renewables. We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.
Those will be our priorities so Americans can be confident that a smaller, smarter government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people can better serve this most exceptional nation.
In the coming weeks I will help coordinate strategies to assist in replacing the President, re-taking the Senate, and maintaining the House.
Thank you again for all your support. Let's unite to restore this country!
God bless America.
- Sarah Palin

Gallery | Best Movies of 2013 (So Far)
- 25. 'The Great Gatsby'
Why We Loved It: A bore or an overwhelming spectacle, an inventive re-imagining or an insult to the novel -- Baz Luhrmann's adaptation was called each by critics and audiences alike. Yet regardless of whose team you're on, it must be said that "The Great Gatsby" is a bold endeavor that succeeds in being what it purported to be: a Baz Luhrmann film. The movie is filled with dizzying, dazzling extravagance and a mesh of the modern and the classic. While it has its flaws, "Gatsby" still brings a daring new vision to our era of uninspired remakes and adaptations. -- Erin Whitney
- 24. 'Room 237'
Why We Loved It: The year's most bizarre documentary explores Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and "what it really means," but not in any way you're expecting. Presenting several extensively researched (conspiracy) theories using nothing but film clips ranging from Kubrick's entire filmography to classic Westerns to '80s slashers, the film becomes a hypnotic display of evidence that will put you in a trance as you weigh all the possibilities. Was "The Shining" a metaphor for the massacre of Native Americans? Was it a confession that Kubrick helped NASA fake the moon landing? Everything you'll hear in "Room 237" will sound both outlandish and true, demonstrating that no two people see a movie the same way. -- Erick Larnick
- 23. 'Now You See Me'
Why We Loved It: While the reviews for this magical heist movie were not the best, it struck a nerve with audiences (it received an A- on CinemaScore), and we can understand why. In a summer filled with sequels and superhero epics, it was somewhat refreshing to have a movie with a unique script and premise thrown into the mix. And aside from Morgan Freeman (who, admit it, everyone enjoys watching on-screen), the movie featured one of our favorite underrated and often overlooked actors, Mark Ruffalo (sorry, Jesse Eisenberg). -- Laura Larson
- 22. '42'
Why We Loved It: Jackie Robinson's story is a compelling one, even for non-baseball fans. The movie appealed to the history-buff in us, and gave us a glimpse into the life and internal struggle of a man who stands for so many different things to so many different people. We loved being introduced to talented newcomer Chadwick Boseman (Robinson), whom we predict we'll be seeing a lot more of in the near future, and it was also refreshing to see Harrison Ford in a somewhat out-of-the-box role as MLB chairman Branch Rickey. -- Dana Taddeo
- 21. 'World War Z'
Wy We Loved It: Everyone was predicting "World War Z" to be an absolute disaster, what with the reshot ending and rumored fight between its director Marc Forester and star/producer Brad Pitt. Lucky for us, we were all wrong. Instead of a mess, we got a miracle -- a harrowing, relatively small-scale apocalypse film featuring a worldwide zombie attack. Sure, it wasn't like the book (the film was based on Max Brooks's novel), but it never was going to be. "World War Z" stood on its own, which is a testament to everyone involved -- Brad Pitt in particular, who helped drag this thing across the finish line. -- Alex Suskind
- 20. 'The Heat'
Why We Loved It: Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy paired up as tough and funny cops? We're sold! We've wanted to be BFFs with McCarthy ever since her Oscar-nominated turn in "Bridesmaids," and we've wanted to hang out with Bullock since, well, forever. Putting these two in a comedy together was a no-brainer. Though "The Heat" has its critics, the movie was filled with laugh-out-loud moments, and it was awesome to see a buddy-cop film feature two strong female leads for a change. -- D.T.
- 19. 'The Bling Ring'
Why We Loved It: Sofia Coppola does not force an opinion of her characters in "The Bling Ring," she shows them for what they are: shallow, soulless, and apathetic. While this may make them, and the film itself, less compelling than your typical Hollywood fare, it offers a closer, more honest telling of a true story. Free of extol or harsh criticism, Coppola shows us the fame-obsessed culture we live in, revealing an underlying loneliness and desire for attention that flows through each of her films. Instead of satirizing a current culture like "Spring Breakers" or sympathizing with it like "Frances Ha," "The Bling Ring" simply puts our times in front of the mirror. -- E.W.
- 18. 'Warm Bodies'
Why We Loved It: With swoony vampires and werewolves running amok in Hollywood these days, it's refreshing to see a shuffling, slouchy, undead teen -- especially one played by handsome British actor Nicholas Hoult -- fall for the girl instead. A genius riff on the massively popular zombie genre, as well as a nod to "Romeo and Juliet" and a commentary on our technology-obsessed culture, "Warm Bodies" succeeds as both a rom-com and a spoof, served up with a side of suspense. -- L.L.
- 17. 'Pain and Gain'
Why We Loved It: It's vintage Michael Bay, but more in line with the "Bad Boys" series than his bloated mega-budget spectacles like "Transformers" or "Pearl Harbor." Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Mackie, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson star as a trio of steroid-injecting gym rats and amateur criminals, whose kidnapping plot quickly escalates into a drug-fueled spectacle of torture, gun battles and twisted dark humor. You know what you're going to get with Bay at this point (id-driven alpha male escapism with a sexy music video style), but "P & G"'s secret weapon is Johnson, who pushes his charisma to new limits. -- E.L.
- 16. 'Side Effects'
Why We Loved It: Steven Soderbergh's slick thriller hinges on something truly unexpected: Channing Tatum, the director's current go-to man ("Magic Mike," "Haywire"), doesn't make it through the first hour. But that's not why we enjoyed the film. More than making up for the untimely loss of those abs are brilliant performances from Rooney Mara and Jude Law -- Mara, as Tatum's disturbed widow, and Law, her psychiatrist. One of the apparent side effects of the movie is an inability to glimpse the characters' true intentions until the very end, which is a serious feat of intrigue in this age of transparent villains and too-obvious "twists." -- L.L.
- 15. 'Blue Jasmine'
Why We Loved It: Fans of Cate Blanchett, rejoice! If you want to see the powerhouse actress in a role where she's blubbering and dishevelled instead of secure and godlike, then this is your movie. Many critics are calling this Woody Allen's best film in a long while, and we're inclined to agree. Great performances and a fun premise make this a wonderful movie treat. -- Chris Jancelewicz
- 14. 'The Conjuring'
Why We Loved It: Like an ice cold drink after a desert trek, "The Conjuring" is that sweet find after a sour slate of horror films -- and it has surely been a bad drought lately. James Wan's film doesn't necessarily do anything wholly new, it just does everything right. Both an homage and a reworking of horror gimmicks, the film refrains from overindulging (as many do) and instead teases the audience with brief scares until the tension is so high it's past its boiling point. While its creepy faces, unnerving noises, and disturbing tales are indeed scary, the most terrifying part of "The Conjuring" is the unrelenting anxiety it creates and leaves you with. -- E.W.
- 13. 'Mud'
Why We Loved It: Matthew McConaughey's career renaissance continues with a lyrical Southern suspense about lost love, lost innocence, and a rickety old boat hanging in a tree. McConaughey is the titular Mud, a mysterious drifter hiding out on a coastal island and on the run from the law, who recruits two young boys in his quest to reunite with his long-lost love (played by Reese Witherspoon) then escape to freedom. With Mud being pursued by dangerous bounty hunters, the boys learn hard truths about heartache, sacrifice, and the pain that is felt with growing up. -- E.L.
- 12. 'Pacific Rim'
Why We Loved It: Sure, it's loud, but Guillermo del Toro's Kaiju vs. Jaeger sci-fi epic is also a rollicking CGI spectacle featuring some seriously impressive acting, courtesy of Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, and an ass-kicking Rinko Kikuchi. As far as canceling the apocalypse goes, this movie is pure, unbridled, edge-of-your-seat entertainment. -- L.L.
- 11. 'Before Midnight'
Why We Loved It: It's hard to find a film that depicts the raw emotion of falling in love. However, Richard Linklater's "Before" trilogy has managed to do it three times. In the third and (possibly) final installment, we once again meet up with Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke), now 18 years after the two first ran into each other on a train to Vienna. They're now married with kids and facing the same types of issues most middle-aged couples face. And that's what's so special about this movie and its predecessors: they're real, they're vulnerable, and they are unequivocally devoted to its two main characters, who you can't help but fall in love with yourself. -- A.S.
- 10. 'Fast And Furious 6'
Why We Loved It: The sixth (!) installment of this unlikely hit franchise had everything we wanted: guns, explosions, Vin Diesel jumping over a highway, a kickass fight between two kickass ladies (Gina Carano and Michelle Rodriguez), a car taking down a plane, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The best thing about "Fast 6" though, was that it didn't take itself too seriously. This film knew exactly what it was -- a big, fun action-packed heist flick made for the masses. Plus, Diesel and the Rock teaming up for the movie's final fight sequence was the kind of stuff action film junkie dreams are made of. -- A.S.
- 9. 'Star Trek Into Darkness'
Why We Loved It: A mile-a-minute roller-coaster ride, "Star Trek" is a summer blockbuster crafted for Trekkies and non-Trekkies alike. Don't know who Khan is? Doesn't matter. The movie still boasts countless action scenes and amazing special effects. Of particular resonance is the now-infamous "space jump" scene, which is about as heart-pounding as they come. -- C.J.
- 8. 'Monsters University'
Why We Loved It: It's easy to be skeptical of prequels, but Pixar successfully avoids any pitfalls by focusing on the friendship of Mike and Sully. Billy Crystal and John Goodman's scare pros are second only to Buzz and Woody when it comes to great cartoon duos, and this story exploring their origins as freshman rivals is packed to the brim with hilarious college humor, colorful creative design, and character-driven warmth that will bring a smile to your face. "Monsters U" is one of those rare movies that is magically crafted to rouse pure joy out of audiences, young and old. -- E.L.
- 7. 'Spring Breakers'
Why We Loved It: "Spring Breakers" is not only commendable for its hilarious moments, its honest depiction of girl and party culture, and its bold cinematography and soundtrack. Harmony Korine's film is ultimately brilliant for creating a discomfort in the audience, causing them to question their reactions as they revel in nostalgia, shake heads in disgust, or embrace it with laughter. "Spring Breakers" becomes whatever the audience allows it to be as Korine probes his viewers as much as he does his characters, reminding us that we can (and more importantly, should) laugh at our culture's absurdities. -- E.W.
- 6. 'This Is The End'
Why We Loved It: Every Apatow-ian mainstay, plus cameos by celebrities from Rihanna to Emma Watson? Obviously "This Is the End" would be on our best movies of the year list. It was awesome to watch the likes of James Franco, Jonah Hill, and Seth Rogen play exaggerated versions of themselves, especially because alternate universe Franco was obsessed with Rogen, which allowed for some of the movie's funniest moments. The comedy also marked the directorial debut of writing duo Rogen and Evan Goldberg, a team we think should step behind the camera more often. -- D.T.
- 5. 'Man of Steel'
Why We Loved It: Rebooting a superhero franchise can be tricky. But rebooting one that is considered the godfather of superhero films? That is downright impossible. Unless, of course, you're Zack Snyder, who managed to pull off a spectacular retelling of Superman in this summer's "Man of Steel." The latest incarnation of Krypton's most famous story featured an all-star cast, with Henry Cavill as the titular hero, Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Kevin Costner as John Kent, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. In addition to the beautiful effects and explosive action sequences, the film featured our favorite villain of 2013 in General Zod (Michael Shannon). Seriously, Michael Shannon should play every villain.
- 4. 'Despicable Me 2'
Why We Loved It: Besides our favorite gibberish-talking creatures, the Minions, we loved seeing the softer, yet just as hilariously unenthusiastic side of former super-villain Gru (Steve Carell). Adding Kristen Wiig to the cast as Gru's partner in anti-crime didn't hurt "Despicable Me 2"'s appeal either. The movie also hit a nerve with families, specifically the non-traditional ones -- you'd be had-pressed to find a family more unusual than one made up of a reformed villain and his three adopted daughters -- and we can definitely appreciate that. -- D.T.
- 3. 'Fruitvale Station'
Why We Loved It: While this movie has a few clichés and flaws, you really want to see it for Michael B. Jordan's performance. It's not very often that a young actor possesses such undeniable charisma. He lights up the screen in every single scene he's in (which is, thankfully, most of the movie), and the tragic ending is absolutely devastating. This is a poignant movie for racially contentious times. -- C.J.
- 2. 'The Place Beyond the Pines'
Why We Loved It: Surprisingly raw and the kind of movie that goes in a totally different direction than you expected, "Place Beyond the Pines" is a fascinating multi-generational story about families beset by legacy and expectations. Spread across three separate-but-interacting plotlines, the format of this film is refreshingly original. But the what really cements it as our No. 2 flick is its all-star cast, which features Ryan Gosling as a a motorcycle-riding bank robber, Eva Mendes as a strong single mother, and Bradley Cooper as a young, conflicted police officer. -- C.J.
- 1. 'Iron Man 3'
Why We Loved It: The Iron Man we saw in the first two films was cunning, brash, and brave -- the product of a billionaire playboy genius looking to do some good in the world. However, for the third installment, we saw a new version of Tony Stark's alter ego. This was a vulnerable Iron Man, one worried about the effects saving the planet was having on himself and his family. Brought to life by the always excellent Robert Downey Jr. -- who once again proved why he was born to play this role -- "Iron Man 3" ended up being a superhero movie for the ages, filled with the type of emotion normally reserved for more "serious" fare. Bonus points go to Ben Kingsley, who gave us one of the most interesting superhero villains we've ever seen in the Mandarin. It's rare that a superhero flick, let alone the third installment in a franchise, can surprise us. This one did. -- A.S.

:O No. Way... I need to find me a tiger salamander.
A very suitable reaction to this
SillyStou: What will happen to this place when Rock Band ceases to exist?
RockBandRocker: We will all migrate to the Dance Central forums. It will be like Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt.
Munnchy: Only Flashier, with impeccable dance moves.
RockBandRocker: With more glitter and glam. We will survive
My manly melodic tones will definitely be in there.
Not everyone is in it (it's only 3 minutes 59 seconds and 60 microseconds), but the person making it guaranteed I would get my interview in it.
There's going to be Bohemian Rhapsody footage, Fancy Friday shots, interviews with several people (several of which I've talked about before), and other fun things. I'm looking forward to watching it.

Some people seriously think this is better than In-And-Out? I'm aghast.
It's not a terrible burger by any means, but it's nothing special. It tastes like a glorified White Castle burger. I am not knocking White Castle. The Castle is a nice little fast-food burger that many people on the East Coast love because it reminds them of their youth. NO ONE would ever call it a gourmet burger, but that's what people who review 5 guys call their concoction of meat.
It's twice the price and half as good. That can't be a winning combination, but the chain is growing like wildfire. If you wanted to pay that much, you could pay a little more and get a proper gourmet burger from a real restaurant.
The fries are good, but they pale in comparison to In-And-Outs.
You order a regular hamburger and they give you...what's this....TWO patties? I didn't ask for two patties. "Oh, but sir, that's how we do that here." Jesus. You might have warned me before I opened it up and thought you gave me an extra patty because no one else wanted it.
In order to get a 1 patty burger, I have to sound like a fruit-cake and order a "little" hamburger. In-And-Out calls it a double-double. It makes sense. Double means twice as many. 2 patties. Not one.
Have any of you eaten at this place?
Did you enjoy it?
If you've eaten at In-And-Out how would you compare the two?
Has the world gone insane?
Cliff notes:
- I ate at 5 Guys and deemed it is not nearly as good as In-And-Out.

Imagine just having in your hands the type of notebook used by the great, thinkers, artists, poets, among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. A simple black rectangle with rounded corners, an elastic page-holder, and an internal expandable pocket: a nameless object with a spare perfection all its own, produced for over a century by a small French bookbinder that supplied the stationery shops of Paris, where the artistic and literary avant-gardes of the world browsed and bought them. A trusted and handy travel companion, the notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or the pages of beloved books.
The legendary Moleskine notebooks have been lovingly up-cycled with hand painted oh-so-pretty vintage wallpaper!
Only one of each style available!!
I really like the colour mixes of these papers as well the designs which are reminiscent of many contemporary designers and high street designs.
The perfect little vintage notebook for all you ideas led creators!
