Book in a Book

It is a simple case that looks like a old, well worn, weathered leather book. In fact it holds something that could contain 100,000 books. What a wonderful combination of old world craftsmanship being put to 21st century use. I […]

She creates haunting, beautiful works of fine art from real feathers, wood, felt, polystyrene and glue. This stuff is enchanting in the best way.

As soon as I wake up and reply to a txt I have people txting me ALL DAYlike I don't have things to do. If I don't answer the txt back, I get talked crap to like I'M a bad person. Seriously done with people I consider "friends" who keep doing this to me.
Add a Comment Give Advicei cosign this.. this crap happens to me too.. just say it is what it is..lol
That's a good problem to have...people want to hang out and talk to you. Just be assertive and tell them you have sh*% to do, if they don't like it, it's tough noogies for them. LOL
The funny thing @simonlowenstein is I DO tell them, "hey I'm doing this or that, ill ttul". What do I get back? Here's a typical response, "Why do you have to be such a bi**h? If you don't want to talk to me just say so!". All the while I'm here with a dumb founded look on my face. I'm sure in the end it all adds up to be my fault for allowing insecure and inconsiderate ppl to be around me. Haha thanks for your input @secretp and @yesman :)
Correction: I meant to type @secretceo but my fingers didn't type it that way XD much apologies!

Wutz & Wiebke
by Turid Zarse
Wutz and Wiebke, a greedy pig and a forgetful goose, want to go to Italy together for their vacation. But because of their gluttony and forgetfulness there are some difficulties…
The film did hardly convince me. The story isn´t very original, but the voices were much worse. I got the impression, that they were supposed to be extra cool and funny, but they were not. All in all a sweet film, but not more than that.

I'd visit as podiatrist and spend some money on custom made insoles. :-) cortizone shots weakens tendons and thins out fatty tissue which cushions your feet. good idea to limit activities that makes it worse. otherwise you'd be in a hard boot for 4 to 6 weeks. coming up with all kinds of joint problems... you got arthris in your family MD?
i wonder if avoiding the hardcourts and just playing on clay help plantar fasciitis? hmm..

You don't expect Hollywood to deal accurately with any complex global issue: case in point, the ludicrously over-praised drug movie Traffic, which took a very fine British miniseries on the same subject and twisted it into a pathetic comic book story with neo-Nazi Mexican drug lords, a suburban L.A. matron operating a cocaine cartel, and coke somehow molded into Tickle-Me-Elmo dolls to be smuggled across the Frontera.
But Sleeper Cell totally trumps Traffic in taking a complex issue and reducing it to a faux-Quentin Tarantino action farce with totally unbelievable characters behaving like no human being has in the entire recorded history of mankind. The writers and producers of Sleeper Cell evidently think by sprinkling a few "Asalaamaleikums" and "Allaho akbars" through the dialogue they are accurately portraying typical "Islamo-fascists."
Would it were that easy.
Sleeper Cell's plotters jabber fanatical diatribes, yell and scream at each other, concoct idiotic plans a child of 12 would reject as unrealistic, and do everything but march up and down Sunset Boulevard wearing six-foot-high black turbans and sandwich signs reading "Moslem Fanatic" to advertise their villainy. Since a show based around a bunch of weedy, quiet-as-mice Ay-rab conspirators who talk about arcane Koranic theological issues 18 hours a day while waiting for their bosses to say "Go" in some innocuously worded chatroom message would have about as much appeal as "Celebrity Moss Gardening," the creators of the show have dreamed up a fantastical crew of angry African-American and hunky Wasp converts, gun-totin' Middle Eastern gangstahs, and diabolical fanatics who do everything but twist their mustachios and kick dogs to show how evil they are. Their law-enforcement adversaries are heroic, conflicted double-agents and tough cops who shout racist insults as they beat "intell" out of suspects.
Actually, if you want to know why there is a War on Terror, you could do worse than sit through an episode or two of SC. The program's ignorance of Islam and total contempt for same, its total lack of recognition that terrorists might actually have coherent motives for their activities, all do a lot to explain how we have turned a formerly friendly, moderate global Islamic community into an angry realm bubbling with resentment toward the United States. I wonder how many real life sleeper cells sit down in the evening across our nation to take in the latest episode of SC and hoot at the idiotic way they are portrayed while they eat pizza and swill chai, and then go back to the serious business of plotting our demise?

Top 10 Beastie Boys Tracks
Published: May 4, 2012
Top 10 Beastie Boys Tracks, Adam Yauch, better known as MCA, one third of the Beastie Boys, has died at 47, according to several sources close to the singer.
Yauch was diagnosed with cancer in his parotid (salivary) gland in 2009, a fact the Beasties immediately revealed in a YouTube video.
Unable to tour, the band made great use of the Internet to stay connected to fans. Just over a year ago, they streamed their last album, the Hot Sauce Committee pt. 2, for free on their website after bootlegged versions became widely available. The Beasties also released a star-studded half-hour video on Hulu and YouTube, Fight for Your Right Revisited.
Within minutes of the news hitting Twitter, nine of the top 10 trending topics in the US referenced MCA or an album by the Beasties. It's an honor Twitter users bestow rarely, if ever. (Mashable)

The advising system at Alma College
All students who enroll at Alma College are assigned an academic advisor drawn from the ranks of faculty and staff. All have had advisor training and are familiar with the rules, procedures and resources available for students.
What advisors do. Your advisor can assist you with a number of things, including charting your path through college, as well as helping with academic skills and course scheduling, and pointing out ways to personalize your college experience. Advisors help with both normal and unusual situations you encounter, and can help you strategize your way through problems. They can connect you to potential careers based on your interests and skills. The page on "Advisor and advisee responsibilities" includes more useful information.
Important relationship. Most students report that having a good relationship with their advisor was an important and satisfying part of their Alma Experience. Advisors differ in their style, from laid back to more active, and in their personal characteristics. Your needs are unique (although there are commonalities), so finding the right match is important if you are to work together effectively.
Initial assignment. Initial advisor assignments are made on the basis of your application and the interest survey you returned to the college. Since your interests are likely to change rapidly, changing advisors may be necessary during your career at Alma. Remember, it's all about setting up the best situation for you, and advisors understand that changes might occur. They will understand your need to grow.
If you would like to change advisors:
- Talk to potential advisors. They must agree to "take you on" so look for a good fit.
- Obtain a "Change of Advisor" form from the Registrar.
- Complete it. Have it signed by your new advisor and return it to the Registrar.
- Your former advisor will receive a note to send your file on.
- Your new advisor will receive your file and take over helping you.
- There may be a delay as the paperwork is completed.
- For immediate help from your new advisor, bring an unofficial copy of your transcript.
Using "multiple" advisors, or the "Chat with many" approach: Although you can only have one "official" advisor who maintains your advising folder and signs forms, some students discuss their plans or gain perspective from multiple advisors and others. This arrangement is especially true for those in Pre-professional areas, or in Education. You would make appointments early in each advising cycle to develop possible strategies before meeting with your "official" advisor to develop a final plan.
If an advisor "fires" you! (It's often not a bad thing!) Sometimes you "graduate" from your advisor before you graduate from college. An advisor may suggest you seek another advisor. Possible reasons include:
- You are ready to shift to an advisor within your major
- You need more focused help
- Your advisor was a transitional one and it's time to move on
- Your advisor feels the match is not a prospering one
Remember, the relationship is a complex one. You need to find the right fit. Feel free to ask for advice on potential new advisors and make the switch promptly.

A judge in New Jersey has sentenced a 16-year-old to 13 months of intensive supervision for pulling off a series of pranks last year.
The teen admitted dialing 911 in October and telling authorities he was inside a closet at a restaurant in Gloucester County because a gunman was going from room to room shooting customers.
Officers from a half dozen police departments arrived at the restaurant and found just people eating.
The teen also admitted using Facebook to threaten students and teachers at Clearview High School, where he's a student.
The boy won't go to jail but will be in court supervision until his 18th birthday.

In the meanwhile, I just finished creating my pictures with all the players on the app: U n RCB
And I enjoyed doing it! Have you tried it out yet? Please upload your photo on Facebook, this website, wherever you can!
See how easy and amazing it is......
One of us might just get lucky and win an iPad! However, I'm looking forward to win the Kumble wide-angle book! I was also thinking of giving the posters of the players as a prize. What do you say? Would like to get posters? Let me know!

« Bill Clinton dozes during MLK Speech: media dozes, too |
Blog Home Page
| Big Fed Rate Cut seeks to settle stocks »
January 22, 2008 Dem Debate Gets Testy
In the most contentious debate to date, Democratic presidential candidates Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton traded charges that the other one was not being entirely honest:
The debate turned personal almost from the outset, as Obama accused the Clintons of misrepresenting his comments about Ronald Reagan and the Republican Party's ideas, as well as his record on the Iraq war.Obama clearly came to the debate loaded for bear: Obama went after Clinton during a discussion on economic stimulus by recalling his years as a community organizer in Chicago, adding: "While I was working on those streets watching those folks see their jobs shift overseas, you were a corporate lawyer sitting on the board at Wal-Mart."Ouch! The change in tone reflects a decision in the Obama camp not to let the Clinton's get away with what they believe to be misrepresentations and outright fabrications of the Senator's record. Meanwhile, Hillary seems content to let husband Bill do much of the heavy lifting: The campaign has settled on a new strategy: Turn Bill loose.I suppose if you have a spouse who can command instant and widespread media coverage for whatever he says, the best way to utilize him is to use the former president as an attack dog. Obama has been slipping slightly in the polls and not making up any ground in the Super Tuesday states like California and Connecticut. A win in South Carolina, while expected, should elevate his candidacy and give him a boost going into the all important February 5 contests. But he's facing a double barrelled attack in the form of Team Clinton. Whether he can fight both of them is open to question. |

The Divisiveness of Artisanal Mayo
Let's say you're this hotshot chef. You've got a degree from Johnson & Wales. You've been a pastry chef at wd-50. You've had a hip restaurant in SoHo AND opened a bar in Williamsburg. You've got your own show on IFC where you serve dinner to indie bands -- a show that you claim to have landed because the creators googled "tattooed hipster chef." You've set up a booth at Smorgasburg where you sell artisan mayo.
What's the next logical step?
OBVIOUSLY it's to further your artisanal mayo empire by opening a storefront/kitchen lab in Prospect Heights & calling it "Empire Mayonnaise."
That's just what Sam Mason (the aforementioned tattooed hipster chef) & his partner Elizabeth Valleau did early last month and, since then, the blogosphere has pretty much crowned it as the moment that artisanal Brooklyn officially jumped the shark. It didn't help that NY Magazine dropped their article "The Twee Party," which took artisanal Brooklyn to task, a week after the joint opened.
To be honest, I don't know why everyone's got their panties in such a bunch. Yes, there's something ridiculously hipster about being able to walk into a store to purchase mayo in flavors like nori or yuzu chili -- mayo that's been lovingly handcrafted by a celebrity chef. Is it really that bad though?
In reality, here's the situation:
The storefront is TINY. It's got one single counter featuring a bunch of jars of mayo...
...and an iPad with a flavor and price list. The rest of place is a test kitchen, so it's essentially like having a booth at Smorgasburg with a kitchen in the back & higher rent.
So what's the fucking big deal? Why is an artisanal mayo shop a sign of the apocalypse? Is it the fact that it's "artisanal" mayo? Is it the fact that the purveyors fit the "hipster" mold? Is it the fact that a 4 oz jar will run you $6-8? Are we that cynical about people who try to make unique foodstuffs & sell it to us?
I suppose so. I mean, a stupid artisanal mayo store would never fly in Park Slope, right? We have more integrity than that, right?

Whatever It Takes ;; a stable roleplay [lb]
It's a small town, where everybody knows each other, so settle down and ignore the stares. You may be here for the wonderful riding opportunities at Silver Star Riding Academy, or you might be the next rehabilitation case at Damaged Soul Stable, but either way, you're new and no one knows you. Not yet, anyways. You see, there are two stables in this small town. One, Damaged Soul, is set on trying to help small-time criminals on probation or those with issues that therapists can't seem to help, through the learning of horsemanship. The second is a riding academy, Silver Star. They hold in-house shows often and there are even places for you to stay on grounds if you plan to being there and training under their overly-qualified coach. Something new has started recently though. Damaged Soul Stable has begun training to compete in the shows held at Silver Star, and it's made the two barns, which used to co-exist peacefully, into rivals. The only question now is who will win next time? Those who have fought to gain a horses trust in the round pen, or the ones with the money and the warmbloods? One thing is for sure; theyll both do whatever it takes home . rules . ads . affies --- Month old, and quite active --- Friendly, active staff --- Lovely skin --- Simple points system --- Contests and OTMs ongoing |

Staying in touch with the latest styles can be a challenge for many women and men. Since fashion designs often change on a monthly basis, a fashion accessory that was in style one month may be out of style by the next month. The following guide provides simple tips and tricks on how to catch up on the latest fashions. When looking to purchase the latest styles, it's important to look for bargains. For example, whole designer handbags can be a great way to save money while looking great. In addition to quality wholesale designer handbags, it's possible to find great deals on a variety of fashion accessories. By using price comparison tools to shop for good deals, it's possible for one to save money on his or her next purchase. It's also important to look for the latest styles through different forms of media. While visiting a retail store or website can be a great way to explore different designs, it's a good idea to comb magazines for fashion ideas too. In many cases, magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan will have excellent information on the latest styles and fashion accessories. In addition, movies and television shows can be a great way to stay on top of the latest fashions. However, it's important to remember that television shows are movies are not broadcast live. Because of this, one may be watching a television show or movie that is several years out of date. While it may be possible to find some fashion designs that are still current, many fashion designs from movies and other forms of digital entertainment will fall out of style over time. When getting fashion ideas from movies and television shows, it's a good idea to stick to content produced in the last few months. Since movies take several years to film, there can be a significant lag time between an actor being filmed and an actor appearing on screen. During this time, fashion styles may change in several significant ways. One of the best ways to learn about new fashion designs is from entertainment television and movie awards. Since stars usually wear the latest fashions, it's possible to quickly and easily learn about new styles while catching up on lots of exciting celebrity gossip. Fashion shows can also be a great source for fashion ideas. However, not all fashion shows are broadcast in real time. Because of this, it can be challenging to stay in touch with the latest fashions and accessories. However, there are a number of ways one can catch up on what happens in fashion shows. Many fashion shows will broadcast clips on services like YouTube. This can be a great way to catch up on fashion trends within hours of a fashion show. In addition, social media tools like Facebook and Twitter can be a great way to find out more about different changes in fashion, like wholesale designer handbags. While staying on top of the latest fashion trends can be a challenge for many men and women, new communication technologies make it easy to research information on the latest fashions.

Are Fairfax going down the toilet like the Herald now?
One thing you could say for Fairfax over the last year is that they made less errors than the NZ Herald.
That may not last.
In a cost cutting exercise to chase more shareholder value, they're dressing this up as a mere matter of training

I just got back from the 2006 E3 and one of my favorite pairs of products were two golfing simulators. In both cases you take a REAL club and swing - and see the ball fly off on your XBox!
In the first simulator, you buy a custom golf software program along with the unit. The graphics on the game were relatively good, with detailed courses and characters. The base box sits at your feet, and two "strings" go from that base up to a pair of gloves that you wear. The strings are under tension so that as you move your hands up and down, left and right, the strings move in and out and know exactly where your hands are. You calibrate the system so that it knows how tall you are.
You hold any club you wish in your hands, and as you settle into your stance, you watch your character onscreen do the same. As you swing, the pair of strings move with your hands to know exactly what you are doing. The onscreen character reacts properly, and the ball soars out into the air. You can drive, chip, putt and in general do most golf activities using your own clubs. If you don't own clubs, they include a plastic one you can use.
There's no ball here - this is all about swing. You hit a "virtual" ball and see the results on your TV screen.
The second virtual golf game we played with was from QMotions. This is more like the traditional golf trainer you might find in a golf store. In this case, there is an actual ball on a string. When you swing your club, you contact that ball, and it spins around on the unit. The string knows how hard you hit the ball and at what angle, and it translates that motion into the on screen ball movement. So where the MadCatz game is keeping track of your hands and determining club position by that, the Qm-Golf game is actually sensing what you did to that physical ball, to know where it went.
With Qm-Golf, it works with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005. This is a standard golf game that many people play all the time with regular controllers. The graphics and gameplay is quite good on this game, so you know that the software itself is of good quality. All you're doing is adding on a "new controller" to that software.
Comparing the Two
I've bought the MadCatz unit and will be testing it over the next few days, and will load up a review of that. The MadCatz unit is available in stores. The QMotions unit is NOT in any store I've ever gone into - you would have to buy it online. It's also more expensive - around $199 instead of $69. The question of course is how well it'll hold up. On one hand it seems to make more sense to have a system where you hit a ball vs a system that has you hitting "air" and judging success from hand position. On the other hand, I really have to imagine that whacking a ball-on-a-string repeatedly would cause it to fall apart really quickly. I'll be testing that system as soon as I can, to see just how well it works.
Check back to see how the two stand up! My boyfriend is a VERY avid golfer so this will be of great interest to us, as well as to many of you visitors who have written in asking about these systems.

I am VERY pro nuclear. I see the Japan earthquake / Tsunami as an opportunity to assess how robust and disaster tolerant our nuclear facilities really are and improve that infrastructure. In any field of engineering, a design gets improved only in the face of failure or intense competition.
If thousands of people were to be sickened or killed by the fallout of the Japanese nuke plants overheating, by all means we should re evaluate current and future implementations.
Does that logic apply to the Hoover Dam busting open due to a terrorist attack or or act of nature and killing thousands in Nevada?
Does that logic apply to the millions of Americans we have living on the coast lines who will be wiped out if a Tsunami hits our west coast?
The facts of the situation on the ground in Japan are that thousands are dead, not because of a nuke plant blowing, but because they lived too close to the ocean, in areas which had Tsunami alarms much more reliable than any of those on our coast lines. The nuke plants, though in dire circumstances, have performed remarkably well considering the magnitude of the disaster. The fact that experts and disaster teams have had a week to triage the situation is a testament to how robust the plant is. Yes, it can and should be better. But the world should look at this objectively.
So death due to a Tsunami is an acceptable risk to take in order to have a good view, but nuclear energy is not because of fear of what has never happened.
Note: Chernobyl doesn't play into this calculation as that plant was not at all of the same design and the Ukrainians had the plant held together with chewing gum, duct tape and poorly trained monkeys.
Here's a link that is a must read (they had me at craptastic MSM coverage) by some people who know a thing or two about nuclear power and radiation.

A few months ago I heard a startling and sad statistic. Over $3million is spent EVERY SECOND on pornography. I'm not saying every person who spends money on pornography is an addict, but I am saying that alot of that money is being spent by addicts.
Some addictions can be abstained from, such as alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc. However, there are some addictions where there is a slippery slope and unclear boundary line. Some of these include sex, food & spending. With these 3, it would be ridiculous (and life threatening in the case of food) to abstain from them altogether. This is why it's hard to find that "what's appropriate?" line when it comes to sexual addiction.
We've seen relationships & marriages struggle and self-esteem be shattered by this sad, but widespread addiction. For the most part, it is generally men who struggle with the addiction, but there are women who identify themselves as sexual addicts. Wives have questioned their attractiveness and feel broken when facing a husbands sexual addiction. It's not only important for the addict to get help, but those closely involved to seek healing as well.
If you find yourself struggling with this issue in your life & where that boundary is for yourself, then you might want to seek further information on this topic. Some good resources are Sex Addicts Anonymous, or either of these two books: Out of the Shadows by Patrick Carnes or a christian resource, Every Man's Battle by Stephen Arterburn & Fred Stoeker. A christian resource addressing this issue for women in a relationship with a male with a sexual addiction is Every Heart Restored by Stephen Arterburn & Fred Stoeker.

Our Interesting Expert of the Week is Linda Webb, aka The Fraud Dog.
Webb, who ran AIG's Global Fraud operations, is president of Contego Services Group, a provider of insurance services, including fraud investigations and cost-containment solutions.
Webb specializes in the most complex organized crime rings and anti-money laundering, including insurance fraud, mortgage and financial fraud, and Medicare and healthcare fraud. She has managed more than 20,000 investigations and over $1.2 billion in exposure.
Some of Webb's complex investigative cases include: an organized crime ring involving doctors, attorneys and clinics; a counterfeit retail product crime ring; a $300 million fake insurance ring; a $10 million fake death ring; and a money laundering case, with D&O exposure to a U.S. company.
Webb is also a frequent speaker on fraud and the investigative industry, and travels with her canine sidekick, Buster, to help increase fraud awareness.
We asked Webb to tell us more about her job – and, of course, Buster:
How did "The Fraud Dog" become your nickname?
You have to be "tough as nails" to fight the fraudster. I've had a gun put to my head and a knife put to my throat in fighting criminals my whole life. I've been fighting fraud around the world 30+ years. Fighting fraud is my life. People tell me I chase criminals like a dog with a bone. I don't stop until I catch the fraudster.
What is your most memorable fraud case?
I am compassionate about helping children and the elderly. The faceless fraudster preys upon all ages, including the elderly and the young. For teenagers, it is the Craigslist babysitting scam (reverse sell scam), and for the elderly, it's viatical life insurance fraud.
Viatical life insurance fraud targeting the elderly is my most passionate case, because any time I can stop a crooked insurance agent who tries to sell viatical life insurance fraud scams in an elderly community, it could very well save lives. In this scam, if the insured (i.e., the elderly person) doesn't die soon enough, they are murdered. In most cases, this goes undetected because people think they just died of old age, and the relatives don't know about the viatical fraud life insurance policy, because the agent made the benefactors a bunch of investors, organized crime rings or modern day mobsters.
What is it like being a woman leader in a male-dominated industry? Have you ever felt your personal safety was at risk?
I would be the first to admit that being a woman in this investigative field wasn't easy when I first started, but that is nothing compared to being face-to-face with a leader of an organized crime ring who has stolen millions from people due to fraud. I don't have time to think about fear when fighting the fraudster. I do not fear death. My legacy is to stop fraud around the world – end of story.
What's the most rewarding part of your job?
Saving someone from getting killed is always first and foremost. Fraud can result in people getting killed, getting hurt, and losing their life savings. For every faceless fraudster I stop, I have hopefully saved a few lives, prevented people from getting hurt, and stopped someone from taking another person's life savings.
What's the most frustrating part of your job?
When I was in Times Square, two elderly ladies told me some horrific stories about how their life savings got stolen from a fraudster. Imagine: You work your whole life to finally retire, and then a fraudster steals your retirement money. Wake up, America! This is happening and we need to get the word out. When we educate the public, they become aware and cannot be victimized. Fraud awareness must be a priority, hence the reason for "The Fraud Dog" television show: to inform the public about the latest fraud scams.
How does fraud affect us as a society/nation?
Within the next two years, every person will experience some form of fraud. One in three people per year will experience some form of identity theft. Every child in America will be victimized by some form of fraud. Fraud is here to stay, and cyber fraud will consume our business industry in the next five years. We cannot afford to sit back. We need to educate the public as the most preventive way to stop the fraudster.
How can we, as individuals, protect ourselves from fraud?
If someone tells you, "Pay me cash today for services tomorrow," beware! During catastrophic fraud, the fraudster loves to prey upon those victims in areas stricken by hurricanes, floods and tornadoes. Don't be victimized twice. Do your due diligence. Turn to the Internet. Ask for references. Ask friends, neighbors, the Better Business Bureau. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Are there any telltale signs?
Faceless fraudsters do not want to be identified, so if you feel you are confronted by a fraudster, take the fraudster's picture with your cellphone! Be sure to ask the fraudster for identification. If the fraudster does not want to be identified, or tries to hide their identity, then something is not right. Fight back, America! Be proactive and fight against the fraudster!
Buster is a cutie. Can you tell us more her? What's her role?
Buster is my sidekick when fighting the fraudster out in the field. Buster's amazing agility and Fraud Dog senses helps the Fraud Dog team in fighting fraud.
Buster also wants to teach children fraud awareness around the world. Buster will help kids understand that they can also be victims of fraud scams like cellphone texting, social-media fraud scams and Internets scams. Buster asks parents, families and communities to teach our kids to also become Fraud Dogs when they grow up.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Help us stop fraud by reporting fraud scams to 855-FRAUD-DOG. The more scams we learn about, the faster we can tell the public.

About the Davenport
The Davenport Hotel opened in 1914 as a destination in its own right. It was to be a place where guests could experience a singular combination of world-class service, palatial splendor, and inviting warmth. Yet just beyond its doors was all the entertainment, commerce, and natural beauty that downtown Spokane had to offer.
That tradition has continued throughout the Davenport's long and impressive history — right up to the present day. The facilities and the guest rooms have since been modernized with 21st-century amenities like wireless Internet access, of course, but they retain all the character and elegance of the days when Louis Davenport oversaw the hotel.
This surprisingly affordable blend of historic luxury and contemporary comfort is why the Davenport Hotel is a AAA four-diamond establishment and is rated 4½ stars on both Expedia and TripAdvisor.
Inspiring Architecture
The Davenport Hotel is a regional landmark and masterpiece of the acclaimed architect Kirtland Cutter. Its public spaces inspire visitors. Grand rooms like the Spanish Renaissance lobby or the Hall of Doges, Spokane's oldest and most exquisite ballroom, draw tourists and architectural aficionados alike. Such extraordinary features have helped the Davenport Hotel earn a prized spot on the National Register of Historic Places.
During the hotel's renovation in 2000, owners Walt and Karen Worthy spared no expense in having the hand-painted frescoes, ornate woodwork, and European-inspired marble meticulously restored. Yes, that is real gold leaf around the lobby hearth, and the fireplace remains lit year-round — a hallmark of Davenport hospitality since the hotel opened its doors almost a century ago.
A History of Modernity
The Davenport Hotel was the first hotel in America with air conditioning, a central vacuum system, housekeeping carts, and accordion ballroom doors.
That cutting-edge approach to hospitality hasn't faded over the years. In fact, the Davenport Hotel and Tower can be counted among the world's greenest, most energy-efficient buildings. In 2011, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) awarded LEED® Certification to the Davenport Hotel and Tower, making it the only hotel in the state of Washington to obtain Gold status of this prestigious rating system.
Famous Guests
When you walk through the Davenport Hotel, you walk in the footsteps of film stars, explorers, writers, politicians, and other luminaries. Famous guests include:
- Charles Lindbergh
- Amelia Earhart
- Mary Pickford
- Clark Gable
- John Philip Sousa
- Lawrence Welk
- Bob Hope
- Bing Crosby
- Benny Goodman
- Vachel Lindsay
- John F. Kennedy
- Babe Ruth
And the Davenport Hotel has never just relied on the name recognition of its guests for its reputation — it has generated fame of its own. Its restaurant was the birthplace of the now-renowned Crab Louis (named for founder Louis Davenport).

anyone got a clue of who revovler ocelot really is? cause im lost on that. after you beat the twin snakes it says Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes and you hear ocelot talking saying no one knows who he really is and after all that he says thank you Mr.President and then hangs up. sooo...any clues?
SnowMonkey | #94 Subject: ocelot Posted: 01/29/2006 22:09:04 |
im prolly wrong about this but i believe he is someone in direct contact with the patriots...like i said though im prolly wrong, but thats what i think
OneOfThoseDa... | #95 Subject: If you want to understand the story as best you can, Posted: 01/29/2006 22:12:19 |
First off, to those who think the Snake in the trailer to MGS4 is Big Boss, I laugh. Anyway, I've found that it might be that obviously Snake is old or even that Snake has made clones of himself that age faster. Also, the relationship between Snake and Ottacon was still apparent in the trailer so I don't belive it is Solidus, who should be dead from MGS2, but anyway.
Like the title says, if you want to understand the story as best you can, first start by playing MGS for the psx. I strongly reccomend starting with the origonal because it is the best (beating MGS3 because of its 'classic-ness'. I don't suggest playing Twin Snakes especially if you've played the origonal, I regret renting the game after fumbling with trying to first person shoot and by the unrealistic action stunts in every cut scene, totally turned me off so the origonal is the way to go! Anyway, play the first MGS about 4 times on whatever difficulty you want, doesn't matter. The point being to understand the story and because they'll be tons of stuff you'll miss and realize you missed after playing through at least a second time like the Metal Gear series storyline *cough* Grey Fox. Second, play MGS2 about 6 times because of the amount of stuff about the patriots that was crammed into it. Make sure you keep yourself fresh on MGS1 too to understand ties between the progressing storyline. Third, play MGS3 about 5 times. You'll need to play through it at least twice to understand the story of Big Boss and the prequel to the Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid series. What about the other three times you ask? Because the game is so awsome and so well done thats why, immurse yourself in the jungle and have fun! Also stay fresh on MGS1 and MGS2. Hell, I've found a 'Patriot' reference in MGS1 that I didn't realize what it ment until after playing through MGS3. To reply about Liquid and Solid (I'm still confused about Solidus though) Solid and Liquid were clones from Big Boss, the Les enfants Terribles project (most likely spelled wrong). Liquid was made with Big Boss's dominate Genes while Solid Snake got all the Recessive, even though it turns out Solid Snake (challenge that, I dare you!) just freaken rocks anyway and carries 'the perfect soldier' Gene anyway. The Genome soldiers were created from Big Boss using his soldier Genes to make the perfect soldiers. Lets see about Ocelot, I can guess that he works for the top management of the US government. In MGS3 he talks about working for the CIA and spying on the KGB, Volgin's ranks, and the Chinese (I think, but I doubt that thought). In MGS1 and 2, he talks of being loyal to Russia, his motherland, and helping its revival to a world super power. In which during MGS2, turns out to be fake and he is just using it achieve Metal Gear Ray with the help of the Russian forces and reveals himself as working with the dreaded La-le-lu-le-lo. So he is still working as a spy for the Patriots. Just what has me wondering about them is the conversation between Solid Snake and Ottacon at the end of MGS2, I wont spoil for anybody who hasn't seen it at the moment because I've made tons of spoilers above anyway... Quite a long post I know but I am willing to debate and discuss anything because I love the MGS series and plan on getting a PS3 for MGS4, it wont only be for MGS4 though but it will be one of the main reasons. The other reasons are that other than computer, the other games I prefer to play are on Playstations and I prefer a PS3 to an Xbox 360 anyway. -OneOfThoseDays |

Tenchi_Jeff | #101 Subject: Metel Gear Best Posted: 03/17/2006 02:12:44 |
The bestest version of Metal Gear I think would have to be the PC version, if you can find it.
Same as the original PS1, but has the extra missions, and hi-res graphics. Still kinda blocky and low detail, but I would still say its the bestest version. Unfortunatly on today's computers, there are bound to be some video compatability issues. |

OneOfThoseDays, I see your 17, so I guess you missed out on the games of the 80s. See, games were mostly all like that back then! Hard! You had to work the payoff! Games back then would always throw you into this big maze-like place with items and quests and crap everywere and you have no guide or hint what to do, you just have to figure it out. Thankfully they were short, Metal Gear 1 can be played start to finish in under 3 hours easy.
Back then the games looked so poor the payoff was mostly supplied by your own imagination! You will see what I mean if you finish Metal Gear 1. I played the remake on Nintendo, when you were in your mother's belly! i feel old |

Take Your Best Shot: Injection Safety
Originally broadcast May 19, 2011
Dr. Gus Birkhead
Deputy Commissioner, Office of Public Health
New York State Department of Health
Gina Pugliese
Vice President, Safety Institute
Premier Healthcare Alliance
Dr. Evelyn McKnight, Aud
Co-Founder of HONOReform Organization
Healthcare associated infections are a growing public health concern, including those associated with unsafe injection practices. Despite being highly preventable, unsafe injection practices are increasingly a problem in the United States. Since 1999, more than 130,000 patients in the U.S. have been notified of potential exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and HIV due to lapses in basic infection control procedures.
This webcast's objectives are to: raise awareness of the problem among public health professionals, healthcare providers and patients; highlight the corrective efforts of the Safe Injection Practices Coalition's "One and Only Campaign" in both New York state and nationwide; discuss how this problem might be eradicated through evidence-based education of the provider and empowerment of the consumer to ask appropriate questions; discuss means of disseminating the injection safety message through health education materials (posters, brochures, FAQs, provider training video, patient role-playing video).
Program Objectives:
After watching this broadcast participants will be able to:
- Describe the current research regarding unsafe injection practice and attendant patient exposures/infectious disease outbreaks
- Describe the impact of unsafe injection practice on patients, the community and public health agencies
- Identify means of empowering medical consumers (patients) and staff to "speak up"
- Identify educational resources available via the "One and Only Campaign" to raise awareness of the importance of injection safety (posters, brochures, Provider Training video)

When Jenny notices Robert peering in through her kitchen window, she senses that he doesn't mean her harm and strikes up a conversation. Suspicious of the mysterious newcomer's motivations and jealous of the attention his girlfriend is getting, Jenny's boyfriend Greg (James Gilbert) launches an obsessive campaign to humiliate and destroy Robert. After a heated confrontation Greg goes missing, and the authorities begin looking to Robert for answers.

An aspiring medical student whose drug-addicted sister has recently died and who may be forced to relocate from her posh private school to the crime-infested neighborhood in which she was raised enters a step-dancing competition in hope of securing the funds needed to continue her education. Unable to afford the tuition needed to fund her private-school education, ambitious teen Raya returns to her family home in the city and is reluctantly forced to reevaluate her future. Upon learning that the top prize for an upcoming step-dancing competition is 50,000 dollars, Raya uses her impressive moves to earn a coveted slot in her good friend Bishop's predominately male JSJ crew. Isolated from the local females due to jealousy and separated from her fellow dancers by gender, the ambitious dancer is subsequently kicked off the team for showing off during a preliminary competition. Now, if Raya has any hope of realizing her medical-school dreams, she will have to either earn back Bishop's trust or organize her own dance crew and start over from scratch. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Mile Zero, director Andrew Currie's feature debut, focuses on the emotional journey of a distraught father, Derek (Michael Riley), who feels his estranged wife, Allison (Sabrina Grdevich), and his young son, Will (Connor Widdows of the Agent Cody Banks movies), slipping away from him. He surprises Will after school one day, taking him on a long journey through British Columbia to a remote spot in the Canadian Rockies. The movie jumps back and forth between the tense journey that Derek and Will are making, and home videos and flashbacks of happier times, and the gradual dissolution of the marriage. Derek doesn't cope well with their separation, even going so far as to surreptitiously install a video monitor in his son's room so he can watch Will sleep. When Allison starts seeing someone new, Derek's fantasies of reconciliation collapse, sending him down a desperate path that ends up endangering more than just his fragile relationship with Will. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

While imagining the childhood of Andy Warhol, Lou Reed once wrote, "There's only one good thing about a small town: you hate it, and you know you have to leave." A similar notion seems to have occurred to Mooney Pottie (Liane Balaban), a 15-year-old Canadian girl growing up in a village deep in the rugged coal mining area of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Mooney wants to be an artist and feels out of place among the rough-hewn villagers and her unsophisticated family. When her art teacher, Cecil Sweeney (Andrew McCarthy), tells her that he could arrange for her to attend an art institute in Manhattan, her parents refuse to allow her to go. Stranded in a place she hates, Mooney finally discovers a kindred spirit when new girl Lou (Tara Spencer Nairn) moves into the neighborhood. Lou's father was a boxer from Brooklyn, and she's inherited his talent for fisticuffs; Lou has a way with a sucker punch that soon has all the girls in town begging her to knock out their boyfriends when they get out of line. Mooney and Lou soon team up on a plan that will allow them to move on to bigger and better things. Canadian filmmaker Allan Moyle returned home for this comedy set in the mid-1970s, which features a soundtrack of classic Canadian rock, including vintage tracks by April Wine and The Stampeders. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Black, Bold and Beautiful: Black Women's Hair
Black hair can be styled in a number of ways, although among earlier generations, the subject was divided into two camps: natural or straightened. For many, the straight-hair look was a symbol of conformity and professionalism, while the natural style was adapted by the more adventurous. In contemporary times, all looks are acceptable, and some people vary their hair's appearance from day to day. Several women appear in Black, Bold and Beautiful: Black Women's Hair to discuss their choice of hairstyles and how much influence fashion exerts on their decisions. ~ Alice Day, Rovi

How do you say Polaroid in French ?
Marion Roussignol @ Just WM (Paris)
French touch, hard to describe. We are French but totally unable to give you the proper meaning of french touch. Or at least we couldn't explain where it comes from when we're able to feel it. Well, french people are hard to get even for other french people and that what makes their charm. Just a guess. And just a hint: it's more about attitude, about looks, about style than faces and features. France is a place where people and cultures from various part of the world have been quite mixed and mixing all over the centuries (and they actually keep mixing today). That's why you never really look French... Enough said as each person might have his own perception and let's focus on Marion.
She's French and we'd say the most french fact about her is on the first polas. The pencil in her hair, something we saw several times during our college and university years, something we experienced ourselves and - don't know why - we always considered as a french touch. Attitude. A certain kind of coolness. And truth is that it just first perfectly with Marion's face, with her features, her expression. With this soft drama coming from her slighlty and sweetly melancholic eyes. You'll never forget her gaze. She's also poised and quite laid-back in the way she poses, with an unmatched touch of elegance. Do we have to say it clearly ? She caught our eyes the minute we saw her (and actually we aren't the only ones). She's 5'11 (180 80-60-86) and, of course, one of these exclusive beauties you'll only find at Just WM.
