6 Ways the Expanded Universe Ruined Star Wars
Posted 25 May 2011 - 11:17 AM
Got to love the extended Universe.
...And this is why I only like The Old Republic era BioWare/LucasArts have created.

But yeah it is of no use to debate this it's done.

Wasn't trying to start a debate. I think most people can quite easily agree on this.
I simply found it an article worth reading. Made me laugh a little too!

Anyway, if they're going to bring the Vong into a list like this, i would have thought that having three different species from the same distant galaxy just happening across the Star Wars galaxy should get a mention.

Yep, throwing in a Jedi character that allegedly did a bunch of $**t between Episodes III and IV like pulling down Star Destroyers and laying waste to entire capital ships, was Darth Vader's super-secret apprentice, and could beat both Vader and Palpatine single-handedly?
F**k you, LucasArts.

But yeah the expanded universe guys love to mess around with the Force and make it out to be some awesome superpower that can pretty much do anything. Before Starkiller, there was Kyp Durron yanking a starship out of Yavin using the Force

It's just crap nowadays. All these extra superpowered characters only serve to make the genuinely interesting ones look weak by comparison. The Emperor looked amazing the first time you saw him do the Lightning thing on Luke, as was the battle against Yoda on Coruscant. And Darth Maul for example, and Obi Wan Kenobi, etc. But the most important part of it all is that they weren't much stronger than Luke was in Return of the Jedi. They weren't some Neo/Agent Smith characters that could do anything.
Then along comes Starkiller and the writers make an effort to say that he's better than all these other characters? They make him battle them all through a droid and, "Oh wow, he's so awesome"?
It's like a serious case of poorly-developed fan fiction, where the author injects his own author-created characters into the story and changes the focus from the real main characters, to how-the-universe-revolves-around-these-new-guys.

See, if TFU had Bioware's writers instead, Starkiller would have more emotional development. He'd romance the droid and then they'd have sex.

Long as he's not trash compacting AT-STs and other things with the Force on a ridiculous level. Restrict it to the stuff in Knights of the Old Republic? I can handle that.

6. Emperor cloned:
- Everybody loves cloning themselves but they shouldn't be able to be an exact replica personality wise. Must of went through training....And ya, I can see how that would ruin the trilogy. Must of costed the Empire an arm and leg to reproduce the exact situation to give the clones the required personality. I can't see Palpi' body switching...anything is possible with the force I guess.
5. There's No Light Or Dark Side To The Force:
- Really? Seeing the good vs bad made Star Wars Star Wars. But seeing it have a neutral zone was also somewhat interesting. This is the only one that I can say works with EU. Well, at least a little?
4. Luke Was Never The Last Of The Jedi:
- All of Luke's hard training and maturing was for naught? I'm pretty sure the Republic-turning-Empire would of found every last pocket of surviving Jedi's....even those that....uh...mated over the years . Weird way to float a boat?
3. The Force Does Not Tie All Life Together:
- Probably *shrugs*.
2. Luke Turns to the Dark Side:
- Point taken. Silly Luke! Undid all your maturity as a Master Jedi?
1. Darth Maul Is Reborn With Robot Legs:
- Um.....How about a revival as a murderous ghost that haunts Leia's dreams?

On the other hand some are complete crap, anything to do with the Yuuzhan Vong I absolutely detest. And yes I did read the whole thing, all +20 books of them.
I devoured nearly all of the EU in novel form when I was a teenager, there were some good but most were just plain bad. Or at least if they were well written they were complete garbage as far as contributing to the SW universe. Though in some ways you can't really blame the writers of the classic trilogy's EU, concerning continuity anyway. I believe most of it was accepted as canon before the prequels came out. And Lucas just completely ignored all of the EU when he made the prequels and the prequels made the classic trilogy's EU look utterly ridiculous.
The prequel novels on the whole are a lot better actually. Most of them are about the Clone Wars set between II and III and they're not half bad. BUT then that cartoon came along and ruined it, even though it was slightly cool, (I think the art style is ridiculous) they through everything out the window that all of these writers had spent years editing and re-writing. Not only that but much of the SW takes the cartoon as canon over the novels! Not much of a surprise since most SW fans on the nets are under the age of 16 but even so.... And then the 3-D cartoon just joined in on the plunge....
Anyway the Vong and #4, all of the surviving Jedi, are my biggest problems with the EU. The Vong are just stupid, though it was an interesting story. #4 just ruins the whole idea, the whole story.

Dear Readers,
I have been experiencing this annoying & stressful bug for a couple of weeks now, since the late betas of iOS 5. I'm writing this post in order to find more people Worldwide, who are experiencing the same and exchange some ideas and thoughts in order to, eventually, find a solution. Please leave your comment below.
Summary: Incoming calls show up only as phone numbers, not with the caller's name.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) On your iPhone, save a person's phone number in contacts with the country's dialing code in front (+ZZZ-XX-YYYYYYY, where +ZZZ is the country code, XX is the carrier, YYYYYYY is the person's phone number);
2) Make a call from that person's device/number to your iPhone;
3) On your iPhone, while ringing, shows the above number without +ZZZ and without the person's name.
Expected Results: No matter how the number is saved (as +ZZZ-XX-YYYYYYY or simply as XX-YYYYYYY) the caller ID should always show up, as in previous iOS editions.
Actual Results: Caller ID does not work as expected and as in previous iOS versions.
Notes: When I receive voice calls, the number comes in without the country dialing code in front, simply appears as XX-YYYYYYY (where the XX is the carrier code and YYYYYYY is the phone number) and the caller's name does not appear. In my address book all my contact's telephone numbers are preceded with the corresponding country dialing code, because i travel a lot. If I delete the country code from a contact's phone number, and that number calls me, then the person's name appears.
On the other hand, SMS's are OK, i.e. the Caller ID is linked to the phone number and shows up (because SMS's are receiver with the country dialing code in front of the phone number, p.ex. +244-XX-YYYYYYY)
I'm am in Angola (country code +244) using iPhone 4S, iOS 5, carrier: UNITEL (92).
It has something to do with the Carrier Settings Update as in iTunes i get the error message 1630 which states that: "iTunes could not check for un update to the carrier for your iPhone. An unknown error occurred (1630)."
For some reason, iOS 5 is trying to match the number "as it is" instead of considering ONLY the last 9 digits.
UPDATE: Well, let's see - I have been reporting this in Dev Forum as well as over at Bug Reporter since Beta 4 of iOS 5 and yet this wasn't fixed when released to public. Now I'm updating to iOS 5.0.1 Beta today! Let's see if it is still a problem. Hope not! Will keep you posted.

40th annivesary of another hot-button issue...abortion and Roe v Wade
by jpcola
posted Jan 22 2013 12:00AM
It seems as if gun control is the big hot button issue that is polarizing the nation. Nearly every day there's another report of some sort of mass shooting, whether it's at a movie theater, or a shopping mall, or an elementary school, or at a community college like what was reported today in Houston Texas. It seems the nation is split down the middle between wanting the President and congress to pass new, strict gun control measures, and wanting people to have access to weapons to defend themselves against crazies and/or against a tyranical government. When I was a kid I remember my church, Nativity of Mary Catholic Church in Bloomington campaigning against legalizing abortion. After church services and church events there were posters showing fetuses in the womb, plastic models showing the stages of child development, and often-graphic descriptions of abortions. And since I want to Catholic school, we were also educated in the classroom about abortion. Despite all that, the U.S. Supreme Court, which is elected by no one, passed the Roe-V-Wade decision which essentially allowed states to legalize abortion. This is the 40th anniversary of the passage of Roe V Wade. Bill Poehler with Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life says in Minnesota alone, the lives of nearly 580,000 babies have been taken by abortion since 1973. I'd wager to guess that's many times higher than all the mass shootings in the United States since that time. Sarah Stoesz with Planned Parenthood was quoted as saying "It's a shame that super-overheated rhetoric from the MCCL continues at a time when we should be reaching out and seeking common solutions to some of the challenges that we have." Sarah...this is not just an MCCL issue...as a Catholic, a Christian, and a human, I can honestly say legalizing the killing of innocent children is one of the darkest chapters in the history of this nation, as repugnant as slavery. We finally woke up, found a moral compass and abolished slavery, yet the slaughter of the innocents continues.

Please Enter Your Comments Below
Roe vs Wade
You are free to have your opinions, but don't you dare try to legislate my reproductive rights.
Roe vs Wade
Making abortions illegal will not decrease the number of abortions. It will increase the number of dead women. What have you or any of the other religious right done to take care of the living "least of us", the families who are living in the cycle of poverty? And how strongly do you support free unlimited access to contraception? And sex education, the only 2 proven methods of decreasing the number of abortions? Patti and Paul Heyl
Roe vs Wade
Very well put. People keep saying it's my right but it takes two to tango something as big as this should be a joint decision and a family one it effects more then just the woman and in most cases if family got involved they would see all the support they really have. As scary as having an unwanted pregnancy is at first Children are a great blessing
Roe vs Wade
50 million babies would thank you for your comments if they would have been given the chance. I also appreciate John Piper's comment on the desiringgod.org blog post "We Know They are Killing Children-All of Us Know" which said, "Staying alive is more precious and more basic than not being pregnant. We know what we are doing when we kill a child." Life is a precious gift.

ITEC gets St Peter's Hospice 100 Club off to a great start
By sophia1980 | Wednesday, August 21, 2013, 16:23
Bristol-based print solutions company, Itec, has signed up to the newly launched St Peter's Hospice 100 Club with a pledge to raise thousands of pounds for the local charity.
Lauren Wilcox, Jamie Turner, Dave Curtis and Charntal Gallagher from ITEC are preparing for the race
Itec, based in Whitchurch, is one of the first businesses to sign up to the initiative which asks Bristol companies to get behind the local hospice and collectively raise much-needed funds.
As a first fundraiser, employees at ITEC plan to take part in the upcoming Dragon Boat Race on 22 September at Baltic Wharf, where they will enter four teams and hope to raise a whopping £8000.
Nick Orme, Chief Executive at Itec said: "We have been inspired by the concept of the St Peter's Hospice 100 Club and can't wait to lend our support. We hope that many other Bristol businesses will join this cause and help sustain the work of one of Bristol's great charities."
As the title sponsor of this year's Dragon Boat Race Itec has entered four boats on behalf of St Peter's Hospice, with each team of 16 rowers and a drummer drawn from employees, suppliers and customers, so it is truly a community effort.
Non-rowers will be manning the Itec Events Village and Party Boat on the Harbourside with a live band, refreshments, face painting, caricaturist and Dragon balloon modeller all helping raise additional funds on the day. Over half of the 120 employees at Itec are taking part.
Corporate Fundraiser at St Peter's Hospice Caroline Booth-Morris said: "It is fantastic that Itec has joined our 100 Club and has such ambitious plans for their fundraising efforts. The 100 Club asks companies to try to raise £1000 for us but it looks like ITEC are going above and beyond!
"The 100 Club is a great idea for local businesses that want to support a cause within their community. Bristol is full of businesses that can collectively make a massive impact on the work we are able to carry out. By aiming to raise £1000 in a year they can help us reach our targets and make a real difference to patients and families. We realise that some companies will raise more, like ITEC, and some less – but it's about the collective effort.
"£1000 is achievable for most businesses but absolutely invaluable to us so the idea is that everyone pulls together to help the hospice which helps so many others."
St Peter's Hospice is Bristol's only adult hospice and now in its 35th anniversary year it cares for around 2,670 patients yearly as well as family members. It costs £6.8 million to run the hospice with 77% of that coming from the support of the local community.
The 100 Club is looking for 100 local businesses to sign up and try to raise £1000 for the hospice. It is hoped the initiative will raise £100,000 in much needed funds for the charity. £1000 for the hospice means a community nurse can make 10 home visits to patients or 50 memory boxes could be made to help bereaved children cope with the death of a parent.
Other local businesses already signed up to the club include local hotel DoubleTree by Hilton, Bristol, the Arch House Deli in Clifton and digital media company Sift.
For more information about the St Peter's Hospice 100 Club visit www.stpetershospice.org or call Caroline on 01275 391 448.

College students excel in graphic design field
Corey O'Brien, left, Reg Wemple and Kevin Massey are pursuing careers in graphic arts and received a jump-start by taking classes at Lassen Community College. Photo by Ruth Ellis (Click SEE MORE for more photos) |
Feb. 28, 2013 — Students pursuing careers in graphic design can get a jump start for success through Lassen Community College's (LCC) digital graphic design program.
Several students who started their secondary education at LCC are either in the process of completing or have already completed their bachelor's degree.
Reg Wemple recently received an acceptance letter to attend the University Colorado, Denver where he will study digital illustration and animation during the four-year program.
Kevin Massey, who graduated from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla., created this image called "Red Balloons Go By." The woman is his friend in a fantasy, steam-punk world. He explained she is watching a balloon race where it is assumed her family ship is in the lead. On the horizon is a "leviating city of balloons." Photos submitted | Corey O'Brien, a former Lassen Community College student and recent graduate from the Art Institute of Portland, Ore., created this piece depicting an android character from a graphic novel he is in the process of writing. O'Brien explained the woman "just returned from the battlefield and must endure some monotonous attention from maintenance droids to fix her up." |
Corey O'Brien was accepted into the Art Institute (AI) of Portland, Ore., and graduated with his bachelor of arts degree in media arts and animation in September.
Kevin Massey graduated from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla. with a bachelor's degree in game art in March 2012.
Hillary Edwards, a former LCC art/design student, is attending her second year at the San Francisco Art Academy and Alyse Ashley will be graduating from AI in the spring with a degree in graphic design.
Lori Collier, LCC graphic design instructor, said, "As an educational institution, LCC is extremely proud of all their students who seek a higher level of education and/or who develop the skills here to find a career within their field of interest. As an instructor to those who have gone through the digital graphic design program here at LCC, it is thoroughly rewarding to hear of these student's successes."
LCC offers an associate of science degree in digital graphic design and an expanded certificate of achievement in the same discipline.
Some of the courses include: computer graphics, digital layout, digital illustration, web page designing, digital and traditional photography, typography, printmaking, production graphics, two-dimensional design, marketing yourself as a designer, exhibition and gallery design.
O'Brien, who is pursuing a career in freelance illustration, said, "What I learned here, particularly with the Adobe products, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, really gave me a jump on most of the first year at the art institute. A lot of kids going into there, they've never even touched Photoshop before."
At AI, O'Brien continued his studies learning the modern day techniques of animation, digital illustration, storyboarding, film storytelling and script-writing classes.
Massey, who is building his portfolio and looking to work at studios, said, "The instructors here were always helping me go back and break down the foundations of art and so those were really the building blocks that I took when I went to Full Sail that put me ahead of everyone else."
He described Full Sail as a very tough, accelerated school that only had a 20 percent passing rate when he attended. Classes can go 16 hours a day, six days a week. When he first started the program, Massey said he learned the principles of design and a lot of English. Then, it moved into game art that got progressively harder and included animation, modeling, storyboarding and storytelling, technical classes and texture work with Photoshop.
"But when it actually came to art and actual portfolio time, I didn't get that there," Massey said.
He is learning those things such as basic drawing, figure drawing and understanding the rendering of shapes, at LCC.
By getting a jump start at LCC, Wemple said he learned how to use Photoshop proficiently, Illustrator decently and the ins and outs of art.
According to Wemple, the best class he took at LCC was graphic illustration, which was first introduced last year and touches on digital illustration, including storyboarding, developing characters and taking pictures and completely animating them.
The three also imparted advice to anyone interested in pursuing a graphic design career and taking classes at LCC.
O'Brien said if students go to a community college first, they should take as many general education classes as they can.
"Because here, they're going to be cheaper. You don't want to be taking pitch package class and storyboard development and advanced character design alongside Astronomy 101, you know, when you could've easily gotten that out of the way earlier."
Wemple said, "Go for it. It's definitely helped me out a bunch."
Had he left right away, Wemple said he wouldn't have gained the experience needed to succeed.
Success in the graphic design field does not just come from talent, but a person's motivation and professionalism such as time management and punctuality.
"Motivation, it's huge," said Massey.
In his class at Full Sail, Massey said 80 percent didn't make it and it has been said a similar number of people don't get hired in the end.
"So the only thing that separates people is not talent, necessarily, its motivation," Massey said. "As long as you are motivated, and you are wanting to learn more … and you keep educating yourself, you'll keep growing, you'll keep doing better. Whenever you stop doing that, you lose focus of your goal. That's when it becomes tough."
O'Brien also agreed.
He said, "There are a lot of kids at the AI where they were unbelievably talented, but they never turned anything in on time, they never followed the curriculum. They have not graduated, they have no jobs. There are people less talented than them who have careers ahead of them already just because they respect deadlines. If you can't respect deadlines, it doesn't matter how talented you are."
At Full Sail, Massey said if a student was late by five minutes eight times in a month, the student was expelled from the class.
"Professionalism is a big deal and that is more valuable than my grade point average when I came out," he said.
Collier said, "Massey, O'Brien, and Wemple all began taking classes within the program not knowing what their futures would lead to. These students knew they were creative and loved art, but didn't know what opportunities within a career field or higher education were out there for them or how to obtain those goals. LCC gave them a better understanding of Digital Graphic Design and a strong foundation to be competitive beyond Lassen County. All three of these students embraced the education LCC had to offer and ran with it. I am so very proud of their continued dedication and motivation to move forward. They will truly be successful in their lives."
She continued, "Here at LCC, all instructors offer students a great base from which to build a future. It is up to the students themselves to embrace what we have to offer. This can be challenging at times as students learn to push themselves harder and balance their daily schedules to meet deadlines, similar to that of a "Real Life" job experience.

Best Late Night Jokes of the Week – 12/06/13

Here are the best jokes of the week from the late night comedians including Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Kimmel (the other shows are in reruns):
At a White House holiday party, the Obama's dog, Sonny, reportedly knocked over a small child. So although President Obama's approval rating is down to 40 percent, he's now number one on YouTube. –Conan O'Brien
Earlier today, Vice President Joe Biden arrived in South Korea to talk to the people there. Yeah, first time ever people from South Korea have tried to sneak into North Korea. . –Conan O'Brien

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford reiterated that he should be re-elected mayor of Toronto because he saves taxpayers money. I think he should be re-elected because he's hilarious and because I don't live in Toronto. –Jimmy Kimmel
The NSA collects almost 5 billion records a day that can pinpoint a cellphone anywhere in the world, track its movements, and map the personal relationships of the person using it. I'll tell you what this means. You know the crazy people that wear the tinfoil hats because they think the government is tracking them? Turns out they were right. –Jimmy Kimmel
How is it possible that they can track every cellphone in the world but can't build a healthcare website? Maybe they should put the NSA in charge of Obamacare. –Jimmy Kimmel
One of the biggest movies to come out this weekend was the Disney movie, "Frozen," which is an animated film about the Obamacare website. Kids hate this movie. An hour and a half of characters trying to fix the website. –Conan O'Brien
In Nevada, where prostitution is legal — true story — prostitutes are signing up for Obamacare. Which explains why the most popular pick-up line in Nevada is, "Let me help you with your co-pay." –Conan O'Brien
This week, fast-food workers in 100 American cities are going on strike, a true story. The workers behind the counter want higher wages and better conditions. The drive-thru workers? No one can understand what they want. What? What did you say? –Conan O'Brien

You know in some countries seeing an unmanned drone means your village is about to be destroyed. In America it means you ordered Mad Men on Blu-ray. –Jimmy Kimmel
The drones will allow Amazon to make deliveries in 30 minutes or less, or we will be on the phone with a customer service rep saying, where is the drone? I ordered this thing an hour ago! Hopefully they can attach pizzas to this. –Jimmy Kimmel
Barbara Walters revealed her list of the most fascinating people of the year: Robin Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, the cast of Duck Dynasty, Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Edward Snowden, and Pope Frances. What an honor it must be for the Pope! –Jimmy Kimmel
A new annual report called the Youthful Cities Index has determined that Toronto is the world's most youthful city. They judge on diversity, entertainment options, public spaces, and does your mayor smoke crack. The world's oldest city, the world's least most youthful city? Metamucilton, Illinois. –Jimmy Kimmel
"Obamacare is still struggling to get off the ground. Experts now say the success or failure of Obamacare will depend on whether young people sign up. Which is why as of today it covers medical marijuana." –Conan O'Brien
"This is a crazy story. For two decades, the secret launch code for America's nuclear missiles was 0000000000. Even more amazing, George W. Bush forgot it twice." –Conan O'Brien
"Today gang members were caught on wiretaps saying they have photos of Mayor Rob Ford doing heroin, which is weird because I thought he had an exclusive deal with crack." –Jimmy Kimmel
"There is information that Mayor Ford tried to buy the infamous video of him smoking crack. And the gang members wanted $500,000 and a car. Sounds like Ford would make a good game-show host." –Jimmy Kimmel

"Only about 50,000 people can use the site at a time. Why can only 50,000 people use a government website without crashing it, but 4 million people can watch a kitten try to get its head out of a bag, no problem?" –Jimmy Kimmel
"Some people got through the Obamacare process only to discover they had inadvertently joined the Navy. They ship out next week." –Jimmy Kimmel
"A list of the most corrupt countries in the world was put together by a group called Transparency International. There's no real surprises. For coming in at No. 1, Kim Jong Un will receive economic sanctions from the U.N. and dinner for two at a great restaurant." –Craig Ferguson

America's top military chiefs -- spoken they wrote a rare joint letter to the senate warning against military cuts Walt.
The current budgetary uncertainty that we are at grave risk of and impose mismatch between the size of our nation's military force.
In the funding required to maintain its readiness.
Which will inevitably lead to a hollow one.
Fox News strategic analyst and author of McCain at Gettysburg colonel Ralph Peters -- is now.
Colonel Peters sequestration is going to be wanted to big battles -- -- watching -- a gigantic possible gigantic cuts in the military.
Many people are saying that we eventually have to do this and it appears maybe from this letter though that these generals are against that.
Well first -- We -- the Defense Department has to accept that in an age of not enough money.
The Defense Department is it's gonna have to military services are gonna have to make some cuts some trends.
And they are ultimately want to do that they recognize reality the problem.
Is -- that the chairman of the joint chiefs the service chiefs and even -- sector.
I don't have a budget in the sense of the corporate bush.
They're bankers.
They propose a budget to congress.
Congress cherry picks it.
And congress funds specific programs for specific amounts and even the sec -- cannot move money between accounts the wise it's a problem.
It's a problem because despite all the raw raw talk from congress left and right about how patriotic they are they don't vote for a strong military.
They vote for jobs and companies in their home district.
We even you -- -- look nobody from Washington State is gonna get vote against funding for Boeing.
So what the joint chiefs are worried about.
It's -- congress will continue to fund the programs that benefit their home districts so while the military takes a terrible -- So so what you're suggesting then.
Is that maybe it's not the generals who want to all of this spending but it actually congress or a law makers.
Who are trying to get as much pork as possible for their constituents.
Absolutely nursing numerous amount of pork in the defense budget.
But that it that it dimension of -- this service chiefs chairman of the joint chiefs is to keep a force in readiness.
I joined the army as a private in 1976 after Vietnam.
I don't ever want to go back about hello -- we couldn't get spare parts we didn't have enough fuel we have enough training ammunition.
We were -- -- we -- using Second World War vehicles in the 1970s.
And Germany.
And so what I'm arguing for is really more daylight on all this because if we're gonna make cuts and we are going to make cuts.
We need to take care of would protect.
Real military capabilities.
And not just protect favored defense contractors and that's tough because congress hopefully doesn't give a damn.
About just -- private your stuffy or Sargent rock they care about their home districts that's where system works.
So then having said that I think -- you're talking I'm thinking maybe the osprey -- was very controversial program.
Ultimately what we do these cuts that are inevitable that you -- are inevitable.
What gets cut I mean will it actually be decided by who's got this -- the highest rank in congress and not necessarily who's got the highest rank within a military.
Whether it's it's gonna be decided largely by which defense contractors which defense contract -- giants have -- Lockheed Martin.
This for the Bane of my existence as a military supporter.
Did you solicit.
-- the most expensive fighter and in history.
-- the F 22.
Without an inventory almost a decade it's such a mess it has not been able to fly a single combat mission even though it cost 350 million dollars a copy.
So what was -- penalty for Lockheed Martin.
They've been awarded the largest fighter aircraft deal in history for new aircraft the F 35.
It's deeply troubled that software is a -- can't fly properly -- short written negligible range it wouldn't be useful at all against China.
Can't carry many bombs.
But because Lockheed Martin owns and it.
Owns the project he can't kill -- soccer are the problem is we can't congress will not kill trash weapons -- don't work.
And the -- -- who pays the bills.
That the that the corporal on food stamps.
You know what the scenario that you're paying them.
Seems like we're going to be stuck with the junk and when that these cuts do come they're gonna hurt individuals and that the big corporation.
Romney that we focus on killing power not spending power colonel Ralph Peters we appreciate it we'll definitely have you back real soon.

It reflects and reveals our society and adds meaning to our cities. As artists respond to our times, they reflect their inner vision to the outside world, and they create a chronicle of our public experience.

The president still seems to have full confidence and Eric Holder something I don't share.
When it comes to a special prosecutor.
Eric Holder cannot investigate himself.
That was California congressman Darrell ice on FOX News Sunday this morning.
Calling for an investigation into what attorney general Eric Holder knew about the government sting operation fast and furious and when He knew it.
He's not the only one.
Nine sheriffs in Arizona -- the program -- out thousands of you us firearms to flood into Mexico some of them to drug cartels.
Of the trial that should -- -- holders removal.
And all county sheriff that Arizona county sheriff's.
All that -- joins us now live from Phoenix sheriff thank you for your time today.
And thank you for having me on appreciate it.
-- I understand your part of this group and you have gone as far to say that this whole thing means the attorney general Eric Holder should either -- -- be fired or He should resign.
There -- some strong martz.
This is threat not only to want fortunate that to our citizens how on earth -- our own government.
Facilitate 2000 guns he's our semi fully automatic.
Weapons AK forty -- fifty caliber sniper rifles they didn't just give them to any person on the street.
They give that gave them to the most violent criminals in North America the Mexican drug cartels and somebody's got to answer for this and what we have sheriff's the majority nine out of the fifteen elected sheriffs of Arizona are Democrats.
In were asking for special counsel to be appointed because we want the truth.
And we know we're not getting the truth from Eric Holder and the department of justice and ATF.
Well the White House is said it stands by the president stands by the attorney general that He has been truthful in what He said in his testimony before congress thus far.
And there are plenty of doubters about that the White House has resisted calling for special counsel do you think.
They will be persuaded.
I think they -- Ask -- this is a free society and a republic where we -- respect the rule of law.
Nobody's above the -- Eric Holder not above the law president Barack Obama is not above a lot there we don't have a king here.
And we need these people held accountable -- -- people who have been killed in Mexico 200 plus people.
We have armed these terrorists in Mexico that have worked to topple the Mexican government.
In my deputies and officers all across the southwest.
Could face the barrel of a gun that are owned government Eric Holder and and the president.
Put into these the hands of these criminals this we believe.
They should be held to account for this and whoever.
Approve this should be criminally held to account for this hacking.
Think that whoever is responsible and ultimately we may get more details is we learned today that war subpoenas are going out over this issue.
How do you think someone could have reason through that this was a viable plan that it did have a legitimate and that it could be a positive.
Investigation in some way.
While the only the only -- explanation AF -- today is while.
Where we were trying to track these weapons and to see as this investigate options spider -- we wanted mid level high level people.
In the drug trade organizations and take them down.
Okay that would be a plausible explanation because we do that would narcotics we do that with cash and was simple crimes where there's no severe threat.
This was a massive.
Organization program.
That 2000 weapons and they had no surveillance they were monitoring.
These people on the cell phones they weren't tracking them direct line of sight surveillance.
This position I -- this is a false excuse it's a lie and this is where.
It's it's insanity to ever give guns to criminals anyways and to somehow think that it's not it's going to and well it's ended badly now agent Brian Terry a hero in our Border Patrol has been murdered in our state into these weapons.
Were traced back to the -- -- there.
Fast and furious program so absolutely I believe He should be fired.
He He should He should resign if He had the honor in his in his office because he's the man in charge.
I'm the sheriff I'm in charge of my office.
Anybody in the military who who always relieve the commanding officer.
Whether they knew or didn't know and it appears to us that that He fully -- and he's only walking back these statements.
After evidence has been provided that shows Eric Holder knew a year plus ago and now he's saying well I was confused by the question.
I didn't understand what exactly they were asking.
That in law enforcement when we see that happening.
Our eyebrows are race and we and we know something doesn't smell right here.
All right.
Sheriff Paul W we thank you for your time today and certainly your bipartisan group -- share at sat add to the questions into the calls for more answers we'll see if you get them thank -- sheriff.

"College athletes should be paid." It's a very simple sentence. Most people either agree with it or they do not. A few go for the more subtle responses like "They already get paid with a scholarship" and "They already get paid with a scholarship so all we're negotiating is the wage."[1] By and large though, you could draw responses on a continuum and divide them into support or oppose.
Precisely because so many people have such strong opinions about amateurism and pay-for-play, rare is the article that actually tries to lure people to the author's side. That does not mean those op-ed columns were an illusion. It means that the issue of paying student-athletes is normally presented as a moral one. There is a right and wrong side and it does not matter whether one side is more popular than the other.
But while issues of how public institutions spend their money can be a moral issue, they are more likely to be judgement calls. Should these people pay more taxes to provide services for these other people? Should this program get cut in favor of that program? Should we expand this department or contract that one? History may eventually favor one side or the other, but that does not necessarily mean being on the wrong side of history should not be allowed.
Often the trump card in arguing for professionalizing college athletics[2] is the conclusion that either college athletes should be paid or major college athletics should cease to exist. The problem is that is not a conclusion, it is two options. And one option, closing up shop, is widely supported with more detailed arguments behind it than one would ever need in a debate.
Agree or disagree, pay-for-play advocates do a fine job attacking the status quo. They do a reasonable job of coming up with plans to pay college athletes. But the bit they get wrong is that they never do a good job persuading people to support their plan. Unless "opposing this idea is morally wrong" is considered a good persuasive technique.
What is being argued for is not a general idea, but rather a very specific one. There are very few people at this point who disagree with the general idea that there should be more professional opportunities for athletes, particularly athletes aged 18–22. But this debate is not about a general idea. It is about a very specific one: that public institutions, which all colleges are to some extent, should be providing the opportunities. That fewer students should have other opportunities and fewer schools should be able to offer them. And that revenue generation and entertainment should be embraced as the goals driving decision making.
My advice to pay-for-play advocates is to stop treating this debate as a legal one and start treating it as a political one. Rather than assuming that professional athletics and higher education can and should coexist, explain why. Do the research to show it will be better. Convince people that the things being gained are worth more than the things being lost or put at risk. Above all, make the case rather than acting like it has been won.

The Eixample suburb was created 1860–1920 and consequently holds the city's finest Modernist buildings. The Passeig de Gràcia is the main artery, its wide pavements lined with designer shops and chic cafes. It is also home to Gaudí's two fairy-tale masterpieces, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, plus many other architectural gems. The undoubted star of the Eixample is La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's fabulous unfinished emblematic church.

"Really spacious, nice staff"
Although I was a hair skeptical upon arrival as the reception staff was not there and entrance is unimpressive, once the staff (called on intercom) arrived they were awesome. Apartment was spacious, very clean and large. It was great for a family of 5 and had tables, kitchen and more if you wanted to save a little money on food. We walked to a point […] of interest and grabbed one of the buses that tours around to see more easily. Overall very nice. Hotel shower was not great, but staff was awesome.

"First time apartment renter"
The hotel was noce and the woman at the front desk was very nice and helpful! The location was very convenient and relatively quiet. There was a water leak from the cooling system which took 2 days to fix. It didn't bother me, but it was damaging the hotel flooring and door. The only real complaint I had was that they made up the room every day, but […] didn't replace the coffee "K-cups". They said there was an extra charge for more cups, which I thought was odd.

"Good service, well-furnished suites."
Appreciated the A/C when it got hot. The lack of dishwasher was compensated for by the housekeeping service doing the dishes each morning. Only complaint about the service was that it would have been nice if they had also cleaned the floors. Also appreciated having a laundry machine in the suite. The friendly staff went out of their way to put the two […] halves of our family across the hall from one another and to explain how to reach the places we wanted to visit. An easy walk to Casa Batllo, a bit longer to La Rambla. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Clean & comfy central location"
Grandom Suites was ideally suited to our needs - a family of 5 staying in Barcelona for 2 nights on return from a holiday on the coast. It has a central location in a safe area. The apartment itself was very clean with comfortable beds, sofa & dining area. The kitchen was very well fitted out with appliances - washing machine, fridge, iron, coffee maker. […] Towels were changed & beds made daily. The only disadvantage was that the hot water was limited so our showers had to be quick!! A special mention should be given to the lovely receptionist Erika who was very friendly & extremely helpful. Another nice touch was that there was a complimentary drink and biscuits left in our apartment on our arrival. More pricey than other accommodation we had seen online but worth it. We have already recommended Grandom Suites to friends. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Nice apartment for family"
Nice full apartment for a family of five. Three separate rooms for the family for sleeping. The location is a 15 minute walk to city center. Not a typical US hotel with modern amenities, but not advertised as such. First time to Barcelona and it was very pleasant experience.Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Beautiful hotel horrible service"
After a long 10 hour flight we arrive to 2 hotel rooms that were unavailable , besides the fact that the receptionist and 'manager' was completely rude she refused to help us accomidate to one bigger room .. We waited until 230 to be able to get just ONE room when check in was at 1 , on top of that when we returned at 11 pm we called to ask for our […] second room the response was ' I'm busy now give me 15 minutes' amazing location but TERRIBLE service , honestly not recommended if you have other options IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Good for the damily"
We travelled with our two children aged 12 and 14. We had a junior suite with two doubles. One child slept on the sofa bed which worked v well. The apartments are v central for walking to major sites, the metro and plenty of local resteraunts. It was clean, well provided, and not too noisy. We would definitely go there again!Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Great hotel in a central location"
Our family of five (three teenagers) loved the Grandom Suites. It fit us all well and we had an excellent stay here. I couldn't believe how central the hotel is located - we walked to Las Ramblas and also to Gothic Quarter and to many great restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend trying the violet ice cream at the Tapas restaurant (telerific) beside […] our hotel. Also go pet the dog, Terry , at Juila's cafe. Great cafes!!

All as described, and to a very good standard. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and dining area. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children. We had a room at the back with two WCs. No noise at all. Would recommend as a well equipped well located self catering option.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Great option for family of 5"
The Grandom Suites Barcelona is a great option for a family of 5 traveling abroad. We stayed in the junior suite with 2 bedrooms + pullout sofa, 1 1/2 baths, kitchen, living & dining space; very roomy by european standards for a family of 2 adults, 2 teens and 1 pre-teenager. The staff (both at Splendom & Grandom) was extremely friendly and helpful. […] Three great restaurants are right out the door, steps away: tapas @ Teleferic, paella @ Casa Julia, and argentinian steaks @ Pampero. The metro is 3 blocks away on Passeig de Gracia. Although staying in Old Town may be more central and more idyllic, the Grandom Suites cannot be beat for quantity & quality of space as well as cost for a family.

"Wonderful Service, highly recommend!"
I love this suite. The things I look for when I travel is cleanliness, great customer service and location. This place had all that and more! Just to give a little background on our situation, we went to Spain for a birthday celebration. This was our first time to Barcelona, luckily we found this wonderful suite!!! The receptionist was amazing showed […] us where to go, where to shop, sightsee, eat, party and cheapest way to get to airport (FYI train is only 2 euros to the airport, but cab ride in traffic was 23 euros). Anywoo she really went out her way, which made a stay a wonderful experience. Also they had free internet and water and snacks all day! Plus a kitchen with a washer for our clothes. I couldn't ask for a better place. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Vive Barcelona!!!! IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Top notch"
We were desperate for a bed, thinking something at a reasonable price for a hotel would get us a couple beds and a sink, ended up with a full kitchen, washer dryer, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a full dining room, with a balcony. Would definitely reccomend for anyone needing a nice place to stay.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Family weekend in Barcelona"
Grandom Suites provides an excellent base for the family (2+2kids) to explore Barcelona, the location is very central and feels very safe. Although it doesn't look grand from the outside, this doesn't matter unless you are worried about your own image!!Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Convenient with great amenities & service"
The management (Xavier & Susanna) was very warm and accommodating. We arrived a few hours earlier than expected, and they allowed us to wait in their sister hotel (Splendom Suites) until our room was available. They provided complimentary internet use, plush seats, and snacks. At Grandom Suites, our room was equipped with air-conditioning, a living […] room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, up to date conveniences, and a beautiful view of the park and streetscape from the balcony. Grandom Suites is ideally located in close proximity to Las Ramblas and other major thoroughfares, restaurants, and landmarks. Teleferic Restaurant is next door to the hotel, & serves a delicious breakfast, as well as over 40 tapas to select from for dinner. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
NICE QUIET LOCATION, BUT PLENTY OF GREAT RESTAURANTS IN AREA, SHORT WALK TO MAIN PLAZA, MARKET, RAMBLAS, ETC. STAFF WAS A DELIGHT TO WORK WITH. WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN. VERY ROOMY ACCOMODATIONS, PLENTY OF SPACE, KITCHEN AND LAUNDRY. ONLY NEGATIVE WAS THAT THE "KING" BED WAS REALLY TWO TWINS PUSHED TOGETHER, SO MY DAUGHTER AND GRANKIDS WHO SHARED […] THAT BED HAD TO CONTEND WITH THE "SPLIT" IN THE MATTRASS.

"More Like a 3.7 Star But Great For Families"
Good neighborhood. 30+ restaurants w/in 10 min walking; we tried 5 places, including 1 highly rated, and 3 were good. W/in 5 min of Metro & 7 from airport train. Very roomy; apt type setup w/ kitchen. Enough beds and chairs to accomodate 6 people. Bathroom and kitchen can use a remodeling which would push it up to a 4.3 star. Staff very helpful the […] 2x we interacted w/ them. Staff very nice and spoke English well (may be off-site). Place came with complenentary sodas and snacks; can walk 5 min to grocery store. Entrance to hotel is next to garage entry and maybe 3 meters wide so have to look carefully to see it; next to Hanoi restaurant which has a bigger sign and easier to find. WIFI was included with the room and was about 128kb/sec; however, the room we were in, the wifi only reached into the living room and not the master bedroom; could've been a setting (e.g. frequency) on the router and/or the walls being too thick since the router was immediately outside our main door.

"Decent location, terrible service"
We arrived around 7:30pm on Friday night when there was nobody on the check-in desk. The only way for us to get in past the locked door was to call a Spanish number (not that convenient from my UK phone!). 10 minutes later someone arrived to let us in, and then he spent the next 15 minute bumbling around trying to find the paperwork. We'd paid to be […] in the three person suite, but were given room shown in the pictures of the 1-2 person suite. When we went to check-out (at 11am, which is quite early compared to other hotels) we left our bags behind so that we could see the city. We were warned that the concierge closes at 7pm and if we were later than this we'd need to call, so I called at 7:45pm and was told there would be someone to meet us at 8pm. At 8:05pm I called again and they told me that they would be 5 - 10 minutes longer - and then ended up turning up at 8:20pm! Waiting 35 minutes to get our bags is pretty unreasonable, and any longer and we would have missed the train to the airport and our flight to London. We booked this as a nice compromise between price, location and convenience, but in the end these "suites" were a huge disappointment and a long way behind other 4 star hotels in Spain.

"Great Choice"
WIth 2 teenagers we just spent a great week in Barcelona in this hotel/apartment. The location is superb, walking distance from many major attractions. The environment is peaceful, safe, and relatively quiet (with the windows closed). There are good shops very close by where you can buy all you need - a supermarket just across the square - and excellent […] shops for luxury items too. With regards to the smell on the last comment, ok the drains in large mediterranean cities can be a problem, but we found that by leaving the plugs in the bath, sink, bidet and anything else where the smell can rise, the problem can be overcome. We loved it here, didn't want to go home, and would use again any time. btw if you have any problem with travel arrangements, ask the hotel staff, they were very helpful IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

in a 3 month journey around Europe this was the best Hotel my girlfriend and I stayed at. kitchen is massive, big fridge and room was neat tidy and decor fine. we enjoyed eating our breakfast on the private terrace and it was walking distance to all sites and 10 minutes walk to metro if going in/out of Barcelona. We couldn't believe the price and although […] it was winter we had fantastic weather. Barcelona is one of the best cities in Europe and i would recommend this hotel to anyone.
