In the Frame: Il Dolore
© Olycom
Words by Simon Lamb
"The photograph is a guillotine blade that seizes one dazzling instant in eternity." – Henri Cartier-Bresson
On my desk at home I have a box of photographs labelled Cycling Photographs to Frame. There are 87 prints, scans, magazine cuttings and photographs in the box, and each one I have decided at some point was my favourite cycling image, good enough at least to want framed. I don't have one favourite cycling photograph; I have 87. But for the sake of this article, I've whittled it down to four to choose from.
Is it a photograph of my favourite rider, Felice Gimondi? Either a portrait during a quiet moment of the Giro, or a photograph of Gimondi's family and friends awaiting his return from the Tour de France. Should it be a classic La Gazzetta dello Sport press photograph, by an anonymous photographer? Or a new photograph, in which case I would choose something by Camille McMillan, for me the best artist working and photographing cycling today. His photograph from the 2006 Ghent six day of Iljo Keisse perfectly shows a direct link back to the great photojournalists of the last century.
So I started a process of elimination. Keeping Camille's work, I removed most of the other contemporary prints. There are many great photographers working today. However, it does occur (far too often for my liking) that many professional and amateur photographers are presently fixated with capturing only the facts of the race, the winner, the star rider, the decisive break. This approach to photography disappoints me and it often misses the crucial journalistic essence of race photography.
© Camille J McMillan
I can appreciate how this approach to cycling photography has taken root, a natural and often demanded constraint of working commercially in the medium and satisfying the requests of editors and publishers alike. But I am consistently left cold by the majority of contemporary cycling photographs, feeling they lack the unique elements of cycling that illustrate the unparalleled beauty of the sport. Take away the "big stars" or grand but predictable alpine landscapes and I believe the majority of what I see in the established cycling media is repetitive, dull and lacking any real sense of soul.
This is symptomatic of the new social media exhaustion which accompanies digital lifestyles. I no longer feel I see the photographer's best work, the final edit, but now I feel bombarded with leaked out-takes from team and race PR departments, instagrams from the finish line or team training camps and quickly rushed edits online to satisfy an impatient, media-hungry audience.

But I had come to the conclusion that cycling, like photojournalism, can be defined as a struggle or duality between art and technology. I don't log the miles I ride on a computer and rarely even calculate them. I tend to ride in hours instead of miles because my heart knows time, it doesn't recognise distance. The obsession with GPS, data and power output recording that I see so much within professional and amateur cycling puzzles me as I find I want to experience a moment during cycling that cannot be quantified and compared to anyone or anything else. I want to escape into cycling, not measure it. With this in mind, choosing a favourite photograph became a much easier exercise.
But, after all the thought, it had to be that photograph of Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali riding in the Alps during the 1949 Tour de France. This one image, more than any other, says everything I want to say about my relationship to the sport of cycling, its history, its photographic documentation and its myth. I escape into cycling when I look at this photograph.
To my knowledge there is no photographer's credit and no indication of what original publication it was taken for. To be honest I stopped searching for the answer to this question as this anonymity is fine with me, it only adds to its beauty. I often imagine that I could have been the photographer standing on the side of the mountain that day.
The more I look deeper into this photograph the more I hope that it was not staged, it may have been, many were at that time, but if it wasn't then they are no longer Coppi and Bartali but instead just two men struggling through the extremely painful job of riding a bicycle up a mountain day after day. They are doing so because it is their job, and not the privileged lifestyle choice I chose for myself to follow and emulate. Thinking in this way helps me remember that these two heroes of mine should only ever be judged as decent working men, men that have flaws and moments within their lives that I'm sure they would have preferred not to have picked over by public and press. Thinking this way keeps me level headed about my heroes of modern cycling and that they too are also, underneath the wealth and stardom, just decent working men and women who should not be seen as any different from myself and others.

I have seen many versions of this image, but this version with the riders slightly off centre is my favourite. Many editors succumb to cropping the image so that Coppi and Bartali are the main focus, maybe thinking that this makes the image more harmonious or perfect, they crop out the mountains behind and draw the focus solely onto the two riders. The fact that in this version they are slightly off centre, slightly imperfect, speaks volumes to me. I see the whole frame and the greater expansive landscape they are riding in; and this brings the photograph back to life and with it deeper meanings.
I love the silence of this photograph, if I stare long enough at it, which I often do, I can hear Coppi and Bartali breathing and the crumble of dirt underneath their wheels. Within this frame there is no victory, no crowds and no adulation. Bartali simply follows Coppi. All we see is one 125th of a second, the click of the shutter, but a beautiful slice of the journey of two of Italy's greatest ever cyclists.

This is a good article.
A shame that just scanning Simon's twitter feed all you read is a vile tirade against cycling and cyclists (particularly those who fit the Rapha customer profile), which makes the entire article completely false and insincere.
Good luck Rapha - you've lost my custom as a result of your association with him.

Got a feeling you might not have been a customer in the first place there Peter.
I'm also familiar with Simon's Twitter feed, whilst you say a tirade against cycling and cyclists it merely reflects his views that are echoed in this good article. There is no denying Simon is a man who is impassioned by cycling but forgoes its modern baggage.
Is this not what Rapha started out to achieve?
Andrea Parish

A beautifully written article Simon, and a calm, reflective read. Thank you for sharing.
No idea why anyone would be so crass as to comment on your Twitter feed though, which, incidentally, I enjoy very much too!

Peter, agree with you that the article is excellent.
I am somewhat stunned by your other unnecessary comments.
It's a shame you feel you can no longer support the brand. Your overbearing sense of self importance lends itself perfectly to the Rapha percieved profile - if not it's actual profile

There's a third rider in the last image that I'm surprised is not mentioned. Notice the shape made by the clouds on the mountain in the background.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
And now let's -- dial in the king -- New York Donald Trump the author of time to get tough commodity Donald good morning.
So everybody was watching at least part of the Super Bowl last night.
The ravens won what did you think.
Well it still that the game was good I thought having the power go out was really embarrassing maybe -- bit a little bit embarrassing to the country.
Because this sort of aware of countries -- just like that stadium was working and it's I think it's really really an embarrassment that was.
A bad thing obviously for television for the NFL but.
I thought I look at the bigger picture I think was a bad thing for the country -- -- what's -- but whether it's infrastructure whether it's whatever it is.
A very very.
Embarrassing moment for the cut.
You treated that in fact during the game you said this the lights went out New Orleans the country's lights went out also.
We are not the same place.
And then he treated the country is being run just like.
-- -- Other -- comes you right away when when that happened or did you give it some fodder or how did you make that conclusion.
Well you know my Twitter does so well because I do give it thought obviously but I put down what's up my my -- just seemed appropriate to be to put that down because.
Frankly if you look at what's going on with the country if you look at contraction I never heard the word contracting for.
I did O 2016 that's going to be a -- here could be considered -- bad.
China will overtake cast as the great economic balance and -- was unthinkable five years ago ten years ago was unthinkable so.
Stated that very very sad thing very very says it's it's happening.
You know it's being -- bad speaking of France China and Donald it's it's funny on the Twitter verse in on the Internet they're all these conspiracy theories floating around.
Could have been Chinese cyber hackers it took down the power grid at least for the super ball on that one night.
Well I don't think so let me got his close friend of ours and I certainly don't think so but I think that we have old infrastructure.
We are no we're spending all our money and other places were giving them trillions and trillions of dollars and that's what really -- -- about the word trillion.
And yet we don't we build our own country what are we doing we're letting our military down because you know -- Obama last night.
It took about cutting the military I I wanna build up the military -- where target for every country in the world that we're cutting our military's so.
We can do think through what we should be cutting his obamacare because I have so many people that I know and friends that have businesses where.
Obama care is putting them at a distance.
You know why because because they they pass to open up the when he tipped into into the for a -- started for into the two and a half years now it's beginning after the elections over.
But -- -- -- -- -- in the big picture I was shocked do you the president say flat out we need more revenue is gonna need it from guys like you.
Well he'd give to the Republicans because the Republicans for whatever reason didn't make the big deal that made a little deal that was a tax increase and everybody thought that was going to be the end and once they got -- and I and others from.
It's called negotiation 101.
You negotiate and you do the right job by at least we have people's I'm a Republican do we have people that know what they're doing.
So they've made a DL and as soon as the deal was made it's again about that this happens and business all the the deal was space Serbs to get about the deal that was supposed to be beat tax increase bout they gonna do other tax increases.
I would have I told you wouldn't you show that was going to happen -- -- -- based.
Well let's take a listen to what the president is set on CBS last night before inseparable when he sat down with Scott -- You can raising tax rates.
Well I don't think the issue right now is.
Raising rates the question is.
If we're gonna be serious about reducing our deficit.
Can we combined some Smart spending cuts there are things that we can do to reduce health care costs.
And can we close -- loopholes.
And deductions that.
Folks were well connected and have a lot of accountants and lowers if you combined those things together.
Then we can not only reduce our deficit but we can continue to invest in things like.
Education and research and development that are gonna help us grow without raising rates again -- -- restored to the.
So I'm not hearing you say read my lips no new taxes you think there's going to have to be additional revenue over the next four and there is no -- we need additional room.
-- cancer is gonna get additional revenue Donald -- not gonna raise the tax rates.
Closing loopholes and of course -- and get rid of deductions and automatically a lot of people think well there goes my.
Home mortgage interest deduction or there goes my chair charitable -- deduction as well.
And some other high end stuff.
Because the government is a furnace that -- money like crazy and it needs more.
Well that's true and a lot of those reductions affect a lot of people and I'm not talking about rich people you know and obviously there are affected but a lot of people are affected much greater to a botched.
Greater degree events so.
If this is just a continuation this is why -- did you have -- the big deal you'd have to make that big deal what deal and get the country back on track.
And -- you know up.
I'm so disappointed that the Republicans.
Let's push total weight that the -- Obama Obama is getting away with murder it it could have been stopped so easily and very very.
In our Republican negotiators.
So you agree -- -- governor Bobby Jindal says we have to stop being the stupid party.
You agree with that.
No I think she was stupid for using that term because that term is so.
Obnoxious and so good to the other side is that he should not have used that because that term is going to be living now -- the Republican party for a long time.
And they're gonna have his space on television saying it for the next four years I thought it was -- ought to really look.
I speak.
Ill of their negotiating abilities I speak ill of certain things that make mistakes but I wanted to -- -- -- that term.
Used to by the governor it was a disgrace said he shouldn't abuse that I thought it was very demeaning to the Republican Party what do you like -- -- you like -- job they're doing that not.
It's going to be used for a long time against the Republican.
You don't -- you don't obviously because you do yourself you don't disagree with.
Calling out Republicans when you feel like they need to improve on certain things.
-- but you -- use the word stupid because the word stupid is now going to be a part of the vocabulary of the Democrats are going to be using Bombay -- Dell's.
Line probably is states saying it I thought it was a horrible thing for him to say frankly I think it was a stupid thing for him to say.
I asked him that when we come back.
In part to -- we are caught up -- in Baton Rouge and Donald Trump did you have any money on the game.
No I I start you know is going to be very very close game my sort of figured that maybe San Francisco might when they're little but of hotter team the other -- lost a lot of games at the end of the season but.
-- -- -- if Flacco was a basic -- a quarterback can both teams are basic over the way they came back the way since it is still.
Came back was a great tribute to them.
It was a very close game and it was ultimately good game but it was -- very badly by the power failure yeah that was crazy I don't have to protesting this today because you -- Bill -- promised the five billion dollars yes related write five billion dollars you have breaking news big story -- what is it but he promised these five billion dollars to charity if I provided certain information -- provided the information.
He did today.
So today -- Phil Barbara five billion dollars -- charity.
I'll allow us and we build -- yes and my friends at FOX & Friends have its first.
Guys do it by about 12 o'clock today so how much five million dollars or British charity he said.
If you do this you make me an -- I accepted the offer immediately write that he didn't come through with a five billion W maybe a five million dollar offer -- there's just so.
Today I'm suing him on behalf of charities are suing -- billion dollars I have no idea how that's going to turn out to be honest but you know I felt I had an obligation Sulu on behalf of.
Jerry and I I read that on your Twitter last week or two weeks ago while -- you know what his attorneys gonna say it's gonna say -- he was only junket.
Well they -- and let's see what happens I don't accused of -- that it -- venom that was -- that -- -- joke contract he was nervous when he that it.
It was like really it was a bit static delivery.
But he's dead I will give and I said I will accept so let's see what happens I have an obligation to the charity -- So I haven't told anybody I just don't you go.

INSIDE: Meet the Prosecutor 2 Sexual Assault at Victory Christian Center 3 Murder-for-Hire Convictions 4-5 Major Case Convictions 6-7 Justice for Victims 11 Message From Tim Harris 12 WINTER 2013 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose faith, it would be better for that person to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around the neck. ─ Bible Matthew18:6 TIM HARRIS TULSA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY In Pursuit of Justice VOLUME 6, ISSUE 1 Assistant District Attorney Michelle Keely told the jury in closing argu-ments that she believed that Amber was mad that Josh was leaving her. She said evidence showed she caught him unaware as he stood near the window and shoved him from behind, sending him out the window. In Amber's statement to police shortly after his death, she said Josh was "messing with the TV" near the window and she pushed him. Amber and her defense attorneys said she pushed Josh in self defense, but Keely said the evidence showed that was not the case. Witnesses said he went out the window, face first. Amber claimed that Josh grabbed her by the shoulders and she pushed him backwards. Amber said he fell into the wall and some candlesticks and then out the win-dow backwards, yet police photo-graphed the scene and the pictures on the wall and the candlesticks were not disturbed. Nothing in the apartment was out of place, other than the two broken windows. Evidence indicated Joshua had a cell phone in his hand when he went out the window, making it improbable that he had grabbed her shoulders with a phone in hand. And Keely said Joshua's arms were so much longer than his wife's that she would not have been able to reach him to push if he had his hands on her shoulders. In addition, Amber never told police or first responders at the time that she was acting in self defense. "It didn't happen the way she said it happened," Keely told jurors. In a recording taped at the police station shortly after Joshua's death, a sobbing Amber told her grandmother that she pushed her husband and that Joshua's parents were right: "They kept saying if we stayed together, I'm going to kill him." In March, a Tulsa County jury convicted AMBER HILBERLING of SECOND-DEGREE MURDER in the death of JOSHUA HILBERLING and sentenced her to 25 YEARS IN PRISON. J oshua Hilberling, 23, told his father he was giving up on his short, troubled marriage. It was July 7, 2011. A month earlier he had asked the court for a protective order after his 19-year-old wife, Amber, threw a lamp at him, causing him an injury that re-quired staples and stitches. It wasn't the first time the 6-foot-4 former football player had been the victim of domestic violence at his petite wife's hands, friends and relatives said. Joshua had packed his bags and placed them by the door of his apartment. He called his Dad to come get him, saying he was leaving Amber and planned to divorce her. His father was at work and told Joshua he would have to wait until the end of the day for him to pick him up. So Josh called some friends, who said they would be by to get him after a while. That same day, Amber Hilberling notified apartment management that a window was broken in the bed-room of their high-rise apartment and glass repair-man Armando Rosales was sent to fix it. Amber later said she had broken the bedroom window with a laundry basket. Rosales said Amber, 7 months pregnant, was angry when he arrived. He said Joshua was nice at the door, but became angry when he learned the cost to repair the broken window. Rosales was on the balcony repairing the window about the time other neighbors reported they heard the couple arguing inside the apartment. One said he heard rushing footsteps and a woman yelling "No! No! No!" Then he heard a crash. Two witnesses said they saw Josh Hilberling plunge face first out the large window in the living room of the 25th floor apartment. He fell to his death. Rosales said after hearing the crash he went to the living room and said Amber screamed, "My husband fell out the window. I pushed my husband and he fell out the window. I killed my husband!" Hilberling's crumpled body lay on the roof of the parking garage 17 stories below; his broken cell phone strewn on the ground nearby. His wallet was still in his pocket. Woman Convicted of Murder, Sentenced to 25 Years For Shoving Her Husband Out of High-Rise Window Joshua Hilberling, 23, was pushed from his 25th floor apartment window and fell to his death on July 7, 2011.

The storm is expected to produce strong winds, rain, and possible snow but could potentially combine with a cold front to form what experts are calling a "Superstorm."
The impact of the storm is expected to be felt strongest in the northeast but Ohio could be susceptable to strong winds and a wintry mix if the storm combines with the expected cold front.
The Ohio insurance institute encourages people to take preventitive measures against a possible storm. Some of those measures include making sure you have enough food, batteries, and to double-check your generator, if you have one, to make sure it's working. Another possible measure could be to search your yard for loose or dead tree branches.
The summer storms may have left a lot of people with damaged trees so its important to make sure they wont cause an issue if the expected high winds occur.

Ad revenue sharing mods not working
I have started a new forum about 4 days ago now and I want to add an "ad revenue sharing" mod to it to help attract new members and keep them active. I have tried the only two mods I found on the SMF mod site, neither of them are working for me, they will not install without MANY errors.
I am looking for a working ad revenue sharing mod that will put someones adsense, yahoo etc ad block in a thread that they start (only one ad block per thread they start). I am using the "mysticjade theme".
If someone can help with this, it will be greatly appreciated. ;D
P.S. I tried adding the links to the two mods I have tried, but it will not allow me.
Grumpy Old Sod:

--- End quote ---
This is an anti spam feature we have here.
Would you pleasae state which version smf you are using so this post can be moved to the appropriate board.
How do you mean neither mod worked?
I am presuming there were some Test Failed messages on files.
The mods should install on the default theme and possibly require a manual edit on the theme you use. However the theme you are using is outta date being RC3.
I usually suggest people look no further back than 2.0
Any errors in the error log?
I am using SMF Version 2.0.2.
These are the names of the two mods I have tried with no success:
By mghq
Ad Revenue Sharing Mod
My karlbenson
And yes there are several Test Failed messages for both mods, definitely over half of the tests fail.
P.S. Thanks for your prompt reply.
Grumpy Old Sod:
OK the first thing ya need to do is find a theme which is compatible with 2.0.2
From 2.0 onwards.
The Ad mod the majority of folks use is the Ad Management mod.
It is my guess that the ones mentioned are rather old and possibly obsolete.
Grumpy Old Sod:
Just had a look.
The mods you mention are NOT compatible with 2.0.2
SMF Versions: 1.1.8, 1.1.10, 1.1.11
You have tried to install a 1.1.x mod on 2.0.2
I do hope you have a backup.

Welcome to SkyVenture New Hampshire! WE ARE OPEN: Mon - Fri 2-10 | Sat & Sun 10 - 10 Extended Hours - Click for more Information
No Plane, No Parachute, No Problem!
SkyVenture New Hampshire is a new state of the art indoor vertical wind tunnel where YOU can experience the FREEDOM of FLIGHT! There is no falling sensation, you just float above the trampoline floor with ease.
The indoor vertical wind tunnel is not only used by the world's best skydivers to train in but it was also designed for the general public to experience the sport of body flight.
SkyVenture completely immerses visitors in the world of high adventure skydiving, without ever having to pack a parachute, pull a ripcord, or jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
Reservations are recommended for Indoor Skydiving at SkyVenture New Hampshire. You can make a reservation by calling toll free 1-888-SKYVENTURE or locally 603-897-0002. We are open 7 days a week.
How does it work?Some tunnels (in warm climates) simply suck the air in from ground level, push it through the flight chamber and diffuser and expel it at the top. SkyVenture New Hampshire is a recirculating airflow skydiving simulator. This means the exhaust air is channeled and redirected to become the intake air. Because we have complete control of the air, we can maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the flight chamber regardless of the outside weather conditions. With the help of a certified instructor, you will be flying after a brief 20 minute training class. Come as you are and we will provide all of the necessary gear to make your dream of flight come true.
Who can fly?SkyVenture is so SAFE that virtually anyone that is in reasonable health and fitness CAN FLY! Children three and up and many customers over 90 have flown in a SkyVenture wind tunnel. Please check the list below to make sure that you qualify. We do require a waiver to be signed by a parent or legal guardian for anyone under the age of 18.
You can fly as long as you:

Customizing SMF > Mod Requests
Redirect guest to registration/login when they try to reply to a topic
I want to redirect guest to registration/login when they try to reply to a topic. Can someone build a mod to do that.
thanks in advance.
There is this one don't know if its any good for what you want
works by when they click on topic
Er... Unless it's enabled, a guest won't even see a "Reply" button.
So, that mod'll probably be best. :)
Thank you all for the quick reply. I want the "Reply" button to be shown to the Guest, but when they click to reply, they will be asked to register, before they can post reply. Hope that makes sense.
Yeah, I'm with you. :)
Have you searched the mod site, to see if such a mod exists, already?
If you have and there isn't, I wish you luck in finding someone who can help you.
Although, I would imagine (I'm no coder. So, this could be rubbish!) that it wouldn't take a lot of editing to make the current setup do that, incorporating the mod that TrickyRicky linked to.
Something like:
If clicker=guest then go to mod
else post
(I told you I was no coder) ;)
But, I wonder if posting in the Coding Discussion board might be better, for this.
Maybe a post, there, saying "Can this be coded easily?" with a link to this topic?
(Just thinking out-loud, here)

June has been unanimously declared Recreation and Parks Month in the city.
"The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (S.P.R.A.), along with other national and provincial parks and recreation associations, is promoting June as Recreation & Parks month. Designating June as Recreation & Parks month acknowledges the contributions recreation activities, facilities and parks makes to our quality of life in Saskatchewan. Each year recreation services and parks throughout the country utilize June to celebrate the return of summer programming, to gather their communities together, recognize volunteers, get residents involved in fun outdoor physical activities, and gain support for the parks and recreation sectors," Lisa Washington told the regular meeting of Council Monday.
"In addition to the many events and programs provided through Community Development, Parks & Recreation, there are numerous community-based, non-profit organizations that dedicate countless hours of volunteer time to provide sport, culture and recreation programs in our community."
Washington told Council, "There are many benefits to participating in physical activity and recreation pursuits. Recreation provides personal, economic, social, and ecological benefits to our people, our communities and our province."
As an example, Washington noted "Recreation enhances quality of life, active living and lifelong learning, helps people live happier and longer, develops skills and positive self image in children and youth, develops creativity and builds healthy bodies and positive lifestyles. In addition, recreation participation builds family unity and social capital, strengthens volunteer and community development, enhances social interaction, creates community pride and vitality, and promotes sensitivity and understanding to cultural diversity."
Council also declared Active Transportation Week in the city for June 4-8.
""Active Transportation" refers to any form of travel that is self-propelled, usually walking, cycling, in-line skating, and skateboard," said Shelia Hryniuk, co-chair of the Yorkton Active Transportation Collaborative.
The benefits of active transportation include those revolving around health, including helping with heart disease, obesity, and adult-onset diabetes, said Hryniuk.
There are also environmental benefits.
"It reduces noise pollution and congestion … (and) reduces your ecological footprint," said Hryniuk.
Hryniuk also noted that driving an automobile has significant costs, while walking or biking costs nothing. Plus it provides some – or all – of the daily physical activity you need.

Dorm Life There is no dorm life since Stanly Community College is just that, a community college. However, the College is in a very safe location.
Academic Rigor The main thing prospective students need to know is that as long as they are persistent with doing their work, submitting things on time, and demonstrating an effort to succeed they should do well.
Tips for prospective students Be persistent with your academics and don't lag behind.
In three sentences Stanly Community College is an institution which is very oriented toward bringing out each student's studiousness. This institution always promotes a sense of community and works well with the students to make sure their academic needs are taken care of. In one word, this institution is cohesive.

"Close to the Shuttle stop."
The room was clean and was located next to a bus stop. Convenient if you decide to take the shuttle to the mountains. Maintenance would respond late if you are in need. During our stay, the maintenance guy missed our room to finish cleaning it up. When we arrived in the evening, the detergent in the bath tub remained as is and the cleaning was unfinished […] (hope does not happen again). When we complained to the receptionist, she gave us a new room for that night. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

Bathroom is SMALLLLL. We couldn't sleep on the bed. It was VERY uncomfortable, Don't get me started on parking. There is virtually no parking space. I will never stay at this motel again.Great location though. Very close to all restaurants and attractions.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"Great location at Mammoth Lakes."
My husband and I stayed here for one night. It was perfect for a one night stay and the price was great. Would stay here again. It's an older hotel and has all the basic needs covered.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
Maybe you should rethink having this place on your list of hotels. The property was in a good location but is in need of some maintenance and upgrades. Th room itself was very large, furnishings were old and not very clean. we had 3 adults in our group and had to pay an extra fee for the third person even though we had 2 King beds and a twin bed in […] the room. on the first morning we were there we found, what I believe , was a bed bug. I left a note for the cleaning crew and nothing was addressed, we took the comforter and blankets off all the beds and used only the sheets so that we could see any other bugs.The sheets on all 3 beds were not clean looking,they were old and very wrinkled with small blood stains. Very gross, we had some bedding of our own which we used.We stayed away from the room most of the day and kept our bags in the car so we wouldn't pick up any bed bugs in our clothes.We used the shower and bathroom facilities which were clean and adequate, the towels were of poor quality,small, very rough and old. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, even the motel 6 down the street would be a better choice. On a scale of 1 to 5 this place gets a -5.

Wouldn't recommend this hotel. The hotel is in dire need of upkeep. The pool was empty in mid-August! The hallways have the Ick factor. The rooms are only "okay"after we shut the door to our rooms.

"Good for the price I guess"
The room smelled horrible, the bed was uncomfortable, and the continental breakfast was pretty bad, but the location and price made up for it actually. It was the cheapest place in Mammoth when I searched, and the lowest price was the most important factor for me. So, I got what I paid for.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"The best of an older hotel"
The stay was quiet and lovely..the staff very accommodating. Very clean although dated rooms...after all it's an old hotel. New carpet being installed during my visit in all guest rooms. I would request a king on Main Street side for pretty view. All double bed rooms are downstairs in the back..fine for a family.

"Just a place to stay"
Since I'm in the Army and don't complain much of where I sleep when I travel, since I'm use to field life but I would rate my experience at Econolodge just that- a place of shelter to get my 4-6 hours of sleep. I didn't spend any time at the hotel but if you're looking to stay where you want red carpet treatment- stay elsewhere! But if you're like me […] and just looking for a place to sleep only and spend most of your days from early mornings and late nights hiking or sightseeing, this is that place and cheap. However try Motel 6 first, looked much cleaner. But i loved the town and all the sights I visited during my stay. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
Went on business trip with husband & pool was amenity high on list. Pool was shut down due to underground leak & will not be fixed this year, if at all. Upset that it was not noted when making reservation. No appology or offer to discount. Continental breakfast was dried out mini muffins & even more dried out donuts, & dried cereal. Broken juice machine. […] Room was clean & we had 2 king beds instead of 2 queen; told no king beds available. Parking was tight and hard to fit larger vehicles. Definitely not recommend people that have difficulty walking or using steps as it is uneven to steps & railing is loose. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"Low Budget Accomodations"
Well located, low budget accomodations. If you maintain lowered expectations from the onset, then all should be fine.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
I picked this room up last minute for my fiancé and I. I booked this because it was the cheapest and finding it difficult to navigate expedite web site from my iPhone I didn't read the reviews. The front desk is extremely nice and quick to offer advice about snow chains and places to hangout. First our queen bed was only a double/twin, the dresser is […] missing a few drawer handles and the layout is nothing like the pictures. Once settled in we noticed there is black and green mold in the bathroom. After using the bathroom my fiancé went to use the sink and the fosset handle came right off. Afraid to touch anything and tired from the 5 1/2 hour long drive we decided to settle in for a cold snowy night and prepare ourselves for the epic day of fresh powder and snow. After discarding the top bed cover I went to grab the extra blanket. Immediately i jump back due to some very large, dried stains that I'm assuming was dried blood. The next morning we awake and I discover our coffee machine was still full of moldy grounds from the tenants before. The most disappointing part of our stay was that for $20 more we could have stayed at the next hotel with a better rating. If anyone is doubtful of my experience I took plenty of pictures. My fiancé and I stayed there for two nights, not because we enjoyed the hotel but because it was an experience, these kind of things bring you closer(literally, the bed is a twin!) and it gives you a fun adventure story full of endearment and humility. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
"Great price, Staff friendly, Rooms clean"
The Econo Lodge is on the Main Street making it easily accessible. The price was half, if not more, compared to the larger hotels. My room, a corner room with queen bed, faced the street which had traffic sounds however, there was a nice view through the pine trees to the mountains in the background which was a great way to wake up. The room had a mini […] frig, microwave and coffeemaker (which was clean so that using it for hot water to make tea didn't taste like coffee). The room also had a comfortable table and 2 chairs, which were positioned by the window with the view (where I enjoyed breakfast every morning having shopped at local Vons). Large screen tv which worked fine. Plenty of drawer space and two racks on the wall for coats (and for winter sports...hats, gloves, scarves, etc...) The closet had big wood hangers which could handle heavier coats if not using the coat rack. The room had a large heater which heated the room quickly however, it is loud (hence the 3 rating for comfort). The staff was very friendly and ameniable. There were some minor things needed in the room which they wanted to fix right away. In addition, I have allergies and brought my own pillow and a sheet which they were great about leaving as is, on my request. I think for the price it is a good choice. (There was also a small pool and hottub which I didn't use but did see other guests enjoying. Continental breakfast also included and that area, part of the lobby, seemed very clean.) קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Get what you pay for"
Bearing in mind that this was the cheapest place in Mammoth for Thanksgiving week, we took the experience with a grain of salt. Pros: decent location (central between town and Village), cheap, has DirectTV, cheap, has a fridge and microwave (really liked that), cheap, serves a basic breakfast for free. Cons: 1. Hot water was a major issue for us, […] but the staff claimed they were currently in the process of getting a new water heater, so this may or may not be a problem in the future. Had a really nice shower at 6 am, but anything after that was lukewarm, and sometimes not even that. 2. Our particular room kind of smelled like cat litter, and along the baseboards were remnants of animal hair in the carpet. If you don't want this to potentially be an issue, ask for an animal-free room. 3. Room heater works well, but was really loud and turned on and off throughout the night, so it woke us up when it turned on, and then again when it turned off. 4. Walls a little thin, so loud neighbors woke us up at 3 am when they came back into their room. I understand you get what you pay for, so again, being so cheap there's only so much I expected. Compared to other Econolodges I have stayed in, I'd say it was not quite as good, but it was certainly cheap! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

Best.collection.ever! |
The ingredients list on this sucked me in immediately, and I knew I had to try the collection. So of course I pre-ordered, and was not disappointed. This is, hands-down, the absolute best Vosges collection I have ever had the exquisite pleasure of trying. And mind you, I've tried a lot of the collections over the years (even the Italian one when it was still called the Vincent Gallo collection). The balance of flavors in each of the four truffles is just...perfect. I highly recommend it. And Vosges--please do not tinker with these--they are awesome as-is! I hope they bring the collection back every year. |

Title: Fun alternative to party hats
Date: Dec 11, 2009
My daughter was adopted from China a year ago where lady bugs are considered "lucky". She wanted a ladybug birthday and it was hard to find party supplies for that theme, but Celebrate Express had everything we needed and more. I was seriously impressed at how quickly everything arrived as I hadn't left myself a lot of time to put this together. Another great feature was being able to chat with a company rep while I placed the order - response was immediate. And about the ladybug tiaras, it was fun to be able to provide something besides the pointy traditional party hats (not that there's anything wrong with that). The kids got a kick out of them, but maybe not as much as the grown-ups! I had read it was hard to keep them on, but if you manipulate the bands, they'll stay put. My daughter, who is also into princesses, really enjoyed them as did the other kids,both boys and girls. I could also see these tiaras working for a butterfly theme!

Beginning tomorrow on Lake Effect, producer Stephanie Lecci brings us a series of conversations around the theme of death and dying in the 21st Century.The series was born out of a scholarship she received from the Religion Newswriters Association that allowed her to take a course at Alverno College in Control of Life and Death.Stephanie Lecci joins us in the studio to give us a preview of what we can expect to hear for the rest of the week.
The truth behind the phrase "starving artist" scares a lot of otherwise artistically inclined folks away pursuing an arts career.
One hundred and fifty years ago to this day, Union and Confederate soldiers met up near Sharpsburg, Maryland - by Antietam Creek. The ensuing battle would be a turning point in the American Civil War - and some say, a point of no return that committed the country to a prolonged and deadly conflict.
Before the break, we heard the story of the Iron Brigade's role at the battle of Antietam. It was a group of fights that are commonly remembered as the bloodiest day of battle in American history, and for good reason.

Yes! Thanks for Minotaur Project!
Most songs I've seen released in a long time! Just the Van Friscia one for me though. Those tracks of his never seem to disappoint and each one seems to be better than the last.
I'm on the fence on the "Skeleton" track..
Finally, we get "Fragments" on PS3!!!
And thanks for "You Get What You Pay For". It's a great song and I really didn't expect to see it ported to PS3 (despite my requests).
2/5 for me. And I'll give listen on the other songs...
"Show Me a Sign," obviously (I've known Azania for years), but "Passing the Ace" is another maybe; "Need Strange" was a fun song. It's getting all warm up here in my funk.
It's so very awesome to FINALLY see a J-Rock song come to Rock Band! I simply cannot wait to download it once I'm done and done with work today! Also, may I suggest that these J-Rock bands come to Rock Band too?
the pillows
Wait, didn't we get a J-Rock song already? Say Saionara or something? Also we got some J-Metal (Dir En Grey) so there is that lol
Say Sayonara can't really be classed as J-rock since the band is entirely English (it is really damn awesome though!). Esprit d'Air are from England but as far as I know the members are all Japanese so it's far more valid to fit into that category, but Dir En Grey are 100% Japanese and could easily be classed as J-rock (although I agree that they fit better under Metal).
