"Smoking Rooms"
Overall, the hotel was fine. Only real complaint is the smoking rooms need better ventilation. We had to stay in a smoking room and we're non-smokers. Our luggage and clothes brought that disgusting smell back to the house.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
回應者:揚斯敦恒庭飯店 (Hampton Inn Youngstown) Dear Brett, Thank you for your feedback. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience of staying in a smoking room. I understand how disappointing this must have been, and I'm very sorry that it kept you from enjoying your stay with us. I hope that if you find yourself in our area in the future, you will give the Hampton Inn Youngstown Boardman another try. Sincerely, Annette I. General Manager
"Decent hotel"
Breakfast was good, scrambled eggs over cooked. No pay movies. But a very decent hotel.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Accommodating to children"
Very good. I had two kids with me alone (family wedding) and it was great. Awesome food, nice workers, and the pool was perfect for them.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Clean duvets"
I like Hampton Inns because there is never a dirty, tired bed spread. The clean duvets are great. But, this hotel is tired and in need of a facelift. The mattresses are too soft and don't provide support.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"My birthday visit home!"
I have travelled many times to the Tiffany South area and only chose one hotel. I am very picky! But chance had it this time that there was no availability at my favorite place and I was forced to try something different. You have improved so much. I was shocked at how beautiful the entrance area and seating was. My room was really nice and very comfortable. […] Cleanliness was an issue for me the last time I stayed with you and this time that was not even a concern. It was perfect. I check the floor along the baseboards and it was spotless with no fuzz in the corners. Wow!!! You did it big this time!!! 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"A very comfortable night"
Everyone there was extremely helpful and kind. The room was immaculate. The bed was extremely comfortable.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
NO NOTICE WHAT-SO-EVER REGARDING CONSTRUCTION! Lobby, outside pool area, fitness center, dining area tore up. Bare drywall and plaster everywhere. Drywall mess in halls and elevators. Dust everywhere. Desk clerks very pleasant and excited about the renovations to include an automatic door. Restaurants nearby-great location.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
Overall very nice. Construction was a bit of a inconvenience, but a necessary burden.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Outstanding Service!"
Everyone in this hotel was extremely friendly and overly accommodating. The rooms were clean and the FREE breakfast was so good! It really helps you to save on money getting a free breakfast – a lot of places do not do that anymore, and it was a HOT breakfast with breakfast burritos, waffles, eggs, etc. VERY impressed and will definitely stay here again. […] The staff was AMAZING and so friendly. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"It's a Hampton Inn, of course it's pretty good."
My only real complaint would be the quality of the bath tissue. I was dealing with food poisoning and comfortable paper would have made that experience a little less uncomfortable. Breakfast was very good.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"A nice Hotel"
Beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows with two together didn't make one. But overall it wasn't a bad place.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"close to university"
Overall good.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Nice hotel..."
Stayed here several times over the years. Clean and relatively quiet.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Close to all things on vacation"
We had a great stay at the Hampton Inn Youngstown. All staff from the managers on down were very gracious . My husband and I are originally from Struthers and Campbell so it was nice to be able to talk with some of the staff about places in the area. We will be back to stay at the hotel again on our next vacation to the youngstown area.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Hampton Inn Youngstown-great"
Really liked the hotel. The staff very helpful, very nice. Pool just the right size for little kids. Breakfast buffet very good lots to choose from. Well stocked Only suggestion it would have been nice to have mini fridge and microwave in room for drinks and snacks. would stay there again.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Pretty good for Youngstown"
In my experience Hampton Inns have a reputation for friendly, reliable service and comfortable clean rooms. This hotel did not disappoint in that respect. Staff was super friendly. Perhaps because of the area of the country Youngstown is located in, the thing that bothered me was the smoke smell. There was one room on the first floor, right next to […] the exit door I used that allowed smoke to waft into the hallway. Also, the first room they wanted to give me reeked of smoke and I had to ask for another room. I guess i have a thing about smoke smell. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"No Whirlpool, jumping kids,outside construction"
On booking the room online, the 3rd party representative promoted this to be a honeymoon suite with a whirlpooltub? Upon seeing the room, we realized it was not. The children above us throughout the night made constant noise-jumping, banging and making loud noises.We were awoke by the sound of hammering and sawing by a construction crew.Definitely not […] a romantic honeymoon night. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
This place has obviously upgraded itself to just the BARE MINIMUM standard to be called a Hampton Inn, and not a millimeter more?!?!?!?Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Great Staff"
David (I hope that was his name) was awesome! I checked in close to midnight and he was cheerful and attentive to what I needed in order to enjoy my stay. The complimentary breakfast was great too!Way better than I expected and I will definitely stay there again.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Our Stay at Hampton Inn in Boardman, OH"
We enjoyed our stay in Ohio and would use your Hotel again in the future.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Perfectly adequate family hotel"
We chose this hotel because we have two young children and desired a hotel with a hot breakfast each morning plus a pool. During our 4-night stay there was good variety on the hot selections. Additionally, they offered some healthy options, though we would have liked to see one or more non-sugar cold cereal options. The pool is adequate for young children, […] but since the max depth was 4.5 feet, we will likely seek another hotel as our children get older. The staff was very friendly. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Great location!"
The carpet needs to be replaced and even with the spray, it still smells like smoke. The staff was very attentive but the place needs an up date!Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Good Stay at the Hampton Inn in Youngstown, OH"
The room was clean, the complimentary breakfast choices were excellent and different every day and the staff was very accommodating. This was near our destination in Boardman OH so it was ideal. The hotel was full of children who participated in a little league tournament but we were not at all bothered. They were well behaved and the hotel made sure […] they were accommodated. I would recommend this hotel for your next stay near Boardman . It is near shopping centers and restaurants. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

The Viola is nothing short of a work of contemporary art. When closed, this leather jacket with stretch side paneling is form fitting. Its angled zipper, flared bodice, and front upside-down v-slit simultaneously slim your waist and flatter your curves. From the back, leather and stretch fabric intersect in exciting, irregular geometric panels. Unzip for a looser but equally dynamic look where open zippers and panels of angular fabric create eye-catching asymmetry.
- Fabric content: 100% lamb leather
- Care instructions: Professional Leather Clean Only

Know How To Write A Business Report
The Importance Of Knowing How To Write A Business Report
A business report is important in any company. It can be used to propose solutions to present problems. It is also used to state relevant information such as annual or quarterly financial reports.
These reports clearly document where the company is now and where it should be in the future. Especially those business reports that have financial forecasts in them. This will enable the company's owners to make the right important business making decisions that should be able to benefit the business as well as it's employees. That is why those who are tasked to write a business report should know what they are doing.
In order to do it correctly, you need to know what the business report is all about. You need to know the scope of your report, who it is for, its format and how it should be presented. The scope of your report will be able to determine the topics that you would need to tackle and how detailed the report is going to be.
Those who can write a business report often have a greater advantage when compared to those who do not. The great thing about this is it is never to late to learn how to do so. In fact, there are techniques and strategies that will help you make your own business report.

On campus until Wednesday, to discuss the curriculum of Loyola's Cultural Language Center in Mexico City, Father Hernandez feels that Latin America will play an important role in the future of the world, a role the U.

Placer County will hold a first-of-its-kind forum Thursday, Oct. 14 to consider ways to strengthen the manufacturing sector of the local economy.
The 2010 Manufacturer's Forum will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Renesas Electronics America, 7501 Foothills Blvd. in Roseville. The event is sponsored by the Placer County Economic Development Board (EDB).
"We hope this forum will appeal particularly to manufacturers with operations in Placer County and firms that are interested in locating or expanding here," County Executive Officer Thomas M. Miller said. "Our goal is to have a forum where manufacturers, elected officials and other interested parties can discuss ways to make it easier to do business in Placer County. We need to make sure our county remains competitive so local manufacturers want to stay here and others want to join them."
The keynote speaker will be President Jack M. Stewart of the California Manufacturers and Technology Association.
Other featured speakers will include Director Joel A. Ayala of the Governor's Office of Economic Development; Director Ryan Sharp of the Center for Strategic Economic Research in Sacramento; Jes Vargas, a consultant to Sierra College's Center for Applied Competitive Technologies; and Brian McMahon, executive director of the California Employment Training Panel.
The forum also will have two panel discussions: one an interactive session featuring local manufacturers and another session focused on tools and techniques manufacturers can use to control and reduce costs.
"Manufacturing currently is a relatively small sector of Placer County's economy, but our county has a lot to offer manufacturers, including a well-educated workforce, a central location in the Sacramento region and available land and buildings," Vice Chair Robert M. Weygandt of the Placer County Board of Supervisors said.
"Adding manufacturing jobs is an effective way to boost a community's economy because generally new manufacturing jobs each create about 2 ½ jobs in other sectors," said Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery.
Supervisors Weygandt and Montgomery represent the Board of Supervisors on the EDB, an advisory body that assists the county with its business attraction and retention efforts, film-promotion program and Business Advantage Network.
Supervisor Weygandt was president of the EDB last year and Supervisor Montgomery currently is vice chair. This year's EDB chair is Steven J. Nichols, Northern Region services and sales director for Pacific Gas & Electric Co.
All three will join other local elected officials and executives to offer opening remarks, introduce speakers and serve as moderators for the panel discussions.
The EDB has representatives from Placer County; the town of Loomis; and the cities of Auburn, Colfax, Lincoln, Rocklin and Roseville; as well as members who represent agriculture, education, utilities, manufacturing and tourism. Later this year, the EDB will add a healthcare representative.
Manufacturing businesses in Placer County are mostly small to medium in size, but agile and extremely diverse. They create top-quality niche products and high-performance components for both mechanical and high-technology applications. The creative process involves skilled craftsmen, who can produce parts just in time for sale to global markets. Placer County also has its share of well-known larger firms, including the internationally recognized Hewlett-Packard; Renesas Electronics America (formerly NEC); Gladding, McBean; and Sierra Pacific Industries.
The cost of the forum is $35 per person in advance and $40 at the door. The cost includes a continental breakfast and luncheon.
Reservations will be accepted through Sept. 30.
For more information or to register for the forum, call Kelly Kreeger at 530-889-4016.

Good day! On Tuesday the market managed to recover a large portion of the losses from a gap lower in the indices that left the Dow Jones Industrial Average down nearly 300 points at the opening bell. The market's increased pace to the downside was the result of several factors. The market was already favoring corrective move lower out of the congestion zone that had taken place along the 50 day moving average, but the pace was not expected to be a strong one.
The correction accelerated, however, following an 8.9 earthquake off the coast of Japan that sent the island nation into a tailspin as it was left to deal with the aftermath of the quake and subsequent tsunamis and aftershocks. The most perilous is the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Several explosions rocked the facility in the days following the quake and radiation levels have hindered workers trying to contain the damage at the site. It was this particular catastrophe that led Wednesday's market.
Dow Jones Industrial Average (Figure 1)
The index futures had closed near intraday highs on Tuesday, albeit still in negative territory for the day. Throughout that session, the climb off morning lows had been a choppy one with a lot of overlap in price from one bar to the next on the 5 and 15 minute time frames. As I mentioned in yesterday's column, this, combined with strong resistance levels intraday into the final 30 minutes of trade on Tuesday, allowed the index futures to fall quickly off the intraday highs in afterhours trade.
That weakness we saw underlying Tuesday's trade followed through into the early morning hours on Wednesday. Although the index futures retested the zone of Tuesday's highs afterhours, the momentum was beginning to shift. The index futures pulled back off the 15 minute 200 period moving average a second time at 21:00 ET into midnight. This was followed by a substantially more gradual pull higher into Wednesday morning. This slower trend contained three wave of buying into 4:00 a.m. ET, which exhausted the trend move, and it also held the 15 minute 200 sma once again. By 5:00 a.m. ET this larger triangle formation that can been seen on the 15 minute charts had triggered a short setup.
S&P 500 (Figure 2)
The pace of Wednesday's selloff increased after U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu stated that he believed a partial meltdown did occur in Japan and reported to the House Energy & Commerce subcommittee that the situation was more serious that the worst nuclear disaster in American history at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island in 1979 that had involved a partial core meltdown. Infant mortality spiked in area in the immediate years following the partial meltdown in PA, and although the wildlife was also suspected of being highly affected, the official documentation was inconclusive.
Alternative energy companies, particularly solar, garnered a lot of attention over the past several days. Although energy companies were the strongest performers in the S&P 500 on Wednesday, solar took a back seat. Yesterday we looked at several companies and the main trait shown intraday was trend extension in the short run. As expected, the short-term highs were established by Wednesday morning. This sector remains of interest, however, so it's worth continuing to track in coming weeks.
Nasdaq Composite (Figure 3)
The indices sold off throughout Wednesday's session, but attempted to recover once equal move levels had been hit as compared to the descent off Monday's highs into the premarket lows on Tuesday. This is shown in blue on the 15 minute time frame. As on Tuesday, the lows were retested, which created a 2B afterhours on Wednesday evening. This is a reversal strategy and helped shift the pace of the selloff to allow for a better corrective move off lows.
Although the market is at strong daily support at 20 week moving averages, the 15 minute 200 sma on the all-sessions time frame will remain resistance into Thursday and there is a strong chance for once more test of the week's lows before the market can stabilize on the daily time frame for a larger correction to the selloff.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) had a loss of 242.12 points, or 2.04%, and closed at 11,613.30 on Wednesday. Every single one of the Dow's thirty index components posted a loss on the day. The weakest performers were IBM (IBM) (-3.79%), General Electric (GE) (-3.37%), American Express (AXP) (-2.93%), Boeing (BA) (-2.87%), Exxon Mobil (XOM) (-2.56%), and Disney (DIS) (-2.45%).
The S&P 500 ($SPX) fell 24.99 points, or 1.95%, and closed at 1,256.88. Only a few dozen of the S&P's 500 index components managed to end Wednesday's session in the black. The top percentage performers were in energy. The leaders were Peabody Energy (BTU) (+3.90%), Range Res. Corp. (RRC) (+3.81%), Southwestern Energy Corp. (SWN) (+3.28%), Chesapeake Energy (CHK) (+3.09%), and Consol Energy (CNX) (+1.71%). The weakest percentage performers were NASDAQ OMX Group (NDAQ) (-5.15%), Medco Health Solutions (MHS) (-4.90%), Qualcomm (QCOM) (-4.72%), and Apple Inc. (AAPL) (-4.46%).
The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) ended the session lower by 50.51 points, or 1.89%, on Wednesday and it closed at 2,616.82. Only eight of the stocks in the Nasdaq-100 managed to end the session in positive territory. The leaders were Altera Corp. (ALTR) (+1.66%), Xilinx Inc. (XLNX) (+1.59%), Warner Chilcott (WCRX) (+1.36%), Whole Foods Market (WFMI) (+1.18%). The weakest performers were Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) (-4.72%), Apple Inc. (AAPL), Maxim Integrated Prods. (MXIM) (-4.40%), and Sandisk Corp. (SNDK) (-3.73%).

'Ol Jackson, Lord Aldric Nightsong
An Imperial Noble, ousted by his younger brother, turns to a life of crime.
Sex: Male
Age: 57
Physical Description
Brief History
'Ol Jackson was born Aldric Nightsong, first son of Samuel Nightsong, and heir to the Nightsong Noble House. A Stormblood born to a house not notable for their Essence gift, he was a surprise to his father. Eager to groom his son into a powerful Noble, he took Aldric from his comfortable life at an early age. The Bannister Military Academy was not known for it's hospitable environment, but more Navy Admirals had graduated from it than any other school. Life in the Academy was hard on Aldric, and despite hopes that his Stormblood would let him excel, he only passed the Academy with marginal scores at best. Without quick advancement through the military ranks Samuel Nightsong grew disinterested in Aldric and focused his attention on August, Aldric's younger brother. August was gifted with leadership qualities allowed him to rise much higher than Aldric at the Military Academy, and by the time he was graduated he was already being sent invitations from multiple Officers in the Navy. Aldric was fine with this, and while August did tours of duty in the Imperial Expanse, Aldric settled down. He married a wife of good standing, and was chosen by the Empress to Governor of a small Worldshard close to Ilysium. He was in his mid-twenties when his father passed away due to mysterious circumstances. Still heir to the Nightsong Family, he returned to Nightsong Lodge and began to manage his family's estate. Everything was going well when his brother returned from duty.
Immediately tension began to grow between August and Aldric over how the family should be run. The older, calmer brother was taken aback at how vicious and cruel August had become after his time in the Navy. The two would stay up late in the night arguing, until one day Aldric finally had enough and dismissed August from Nightingale Lodge, the ancestral Worldshard of the Nightsong Family. It wouldn't even be a week before Aldric woke up in his Father's office to hear the sound of screaming. Looking out the window, he saw an Imperial Destroyer floating over Nightingale Lodge. A large crash came from behind him, luckily his wits were about him enough to send a bolt of lightning in the direction. It dropped two of the assassins sent to kill Aldric. More were around the Lodge, killing servants and spreading havoc all throughout the estate. Dressed as Crimson Sky Rebels, August hoped to claim the deaths were an attack by outsiders, and that he arrived just in time to stop them. Not before his poor brother Aldric was murdered of course.
Aldric escaped to safety, and attempted to use his contacts in the Government to expose his brother. Unfortunately those contacts never answered his calls, or they never went public and lived. He tried to get into contact with his wife, only to find that she was in on the conspiracy and was now sleeping with his brother. Aldric was forced to hide in Olympia for a few day while plotting his revenge against August. Those days turned into weeks, and assassins came for him again, this time killing one of his most precious friends in the crossfire. Those weeks turned into months and he found himself in the Imperial Expanse, a group of Rebels recognized his nobility when he helped a farmer jump start his engine with an electric bolt and a lynch mob formed. Months turned into years and he was on Haven looking for work, when an Outlaw with an eye for talent spotted him charging batteries for coins.
Years turned into decades, and 'Ol Jackson has been flying the Wild Blue for sometime now. His hatred has cooled to an eerie simmer that only burns at the mention of his family, his brother, or his true identity. While many on his ship know he must have some Noble Blood in him, only the few he trusts completely know he is Aldric Nightsong, heir to the most powerful Noble House in the Empire.
Motivation: Kill his brother.
Jackson has a calm soul by nature, and he very rarely lets things anger him. He isn't fond of violence, and likes to let his words win his battles. He is more pragmatic than many would assume from first encounters though. While he seems like a man who would rather spend his days in repose, he is actually more than willing to get his hands dirty. He values loyalty more than anything, and is secretly afraid of betrayal. In conversations he likes to point out things unrelated to what is being discussed. He enjoys the company of younger woman, and is a bit of womanizer. He likes Imperial Music (akin to Classical Music) more than Free World music (more akin to Modern Music). He hates people who alter deals.

Notes: I'm still building this character's history. Sort of want to take a Hamlet approach to his background. The main difference is that rather than taking the Vengence trait, I'm going to play his hatred of his Brother as cold, logical, and calculated thing. It has been over 20 years since he had been forced to leave his home, so he isn't as emotional about it as he was when it was still fresh. He doesn't even want to be an Imperial Noble anymore (although technically he would still be considered one since his Brother can't legally denounce him), he is content with his current life as a Smuggler. He simply wants retribution for what was taken from him, not to get it back. As a Blooded Noble he has a longer natural lifespan that a normal person, and will live for another hundred years. Because of that he doesn't really see any big rush to change his course in life.
Concept: Garth (Fable 2), Reddas (Final Fantasy 12), Lando Calrissian (Star Wars), Benjamin Sisko (Star Trek)

If you can move the slats, you can wash them carefully with a damp microfiber cloth. If they are stained wood, you could use furniture polish. If they are painted, a good wash should bring them back to life unless the paint is starting to crack and chip which would require removing the shutters and repainting or replacing them. | ||||

Posts Tagged 'hk-tk'
A Weekend, or Five Years?
Yesterday, I got this tweet, so today I want to talk about it:
I wrote this game over the weekend" is like saying "I painted the Mona Lisa in a day"; it makes the rest of us
Putting aside the self-deprecating "trust me, HK-TK is no Mona Lisa," that it's only 6500 words, and that other people designed most of the parts to this — that reaction is something I've thought about my whole adult life, as it's been said often to me ever since college.
Except it was said about being a programmer. A few of us were always done with coding labs within ten minutes, when we were given an hour. Other people who were struggling in class would ask us how we were so fast at it. The answer was both simple and useless: in my case, I've been fucking with computers since I was six years old. And while the specific subject matter is new, it builds on subject matter I've been contacting with for years and years. I certainly wouldn't have been able to finish these exams back then (putting aside that I might have just walked away to find a juice box).[1]
No, I know I'm not a particularly fast writer; at least, not consistently so. On the other hand, my friend Matt Forbeck is known for his Herculean writing feats. He's often teased on Twitter as a robot, or we "lesser" writers tease each other about our own tiny wordcounts. Matt's an icon when it comes to our industry. But, just as I wouldn't be able to do the coding things I can without the nearly-three decades of practice and scholarship, neither could he have done his tremendous daily wordcounts right out of the gate.
Well, unless you believe some of the Myths of Forbeck, in which case he was born from the written word itself, so yes, he could.
That's because what we're doing in a day or weekend or whatever relies on what we've been doing for years before that. I've been solidly fucking around with RPG text & game design since 2006, and half-assedly well before that. So I have a sense of what reactions & rewards I want, which pieces produce what reactions, what happens when you put different pieces together, how to present them in text, etc. I'm not saying HK-TK actually works; it hasn't been tested. But it certainly isn't something I could have written in 2006. Or 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. Maybe I could have last year.[2]
I'm sure it's the same thing with John Harper's Lady Blackbird, which was also quickly written up & visually designed if I remember right.
With time & practice comes understanding of your craft, and with that comes loads and loads of little tools in your mind that allow you to do things faster or better. And while this might impress some people, the reason I'm not self-impressed is because I see all the little marks of time in this document, the mistakes I've made in the past or seen others make, places where I am trying things that have worked in the past, stuff like that. I see five years of practice in a hastily written, unedited document.
Pretty much anyone can do that. Just takes time & practice. Which means it just really takes passion. So if you're passionate about something, start putting some more time & practice in. It'll pay off like you won't believe.
And with enough passion, time & practice, perhaps any one of us could ascend to be like Forbeck. ;)
- Ryan
P.S. And just because something looks easy to another person doesn't mean it was. But the hardest parts of writing HK-TK is another post.
[1] And I certainly wouldn't have been able to finish them without exposure to how other people do things, learning from them. Not unlike taking pieces other people have designed, seriously thinking about them, tinkering with them, and putting them together. Same principle: no one of us is an island.
[2] Disregarding the fact that I wouldn't have been inspired by Push until 2009.
HK-TK, a Game I Wrote Last Weekend
For the last few months, ever since I hacked Technoir to play Push, I had thoughts about making a Push-style game. Some ideas hit home after I wrote about using Unknown Armies passions for characters in other games. And in order to make it leave my head (while also using it to take a break from working on some projects that I've been working on for quite a while), I challenged myself to write this in a weekend.
Technically, I fell short. I spent two hours today working on it. Anyway, if you want to check out my little, hastily-written game about psychics in Hong Kong's underworld, here you go.
Later this week, I'll talk about where the various influences of many games come from and why they're there. Because, in my mind, that's actually the important part of this experiment. (Though I do hope the game actually works and is fun, too!)

The Los Angeles Kings finally have their name in lights. Their Stanley Cup triumph has lifted a weight from the shoulders of die-hard fans who have been pining for a championship trophy for 45 long years.
The scrappy Kings grabbed the National Hockey League's prestigious Stanley Cup with a 6-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. Now La La Land is rolling out the red carpet for ice hockey's tenacious new champions, who won a long-elusive crown with Hollywood flair and reality-show grit.
"I have no words to describe this," one fan said. "Other than my children being born and having graduated the Police Academy, this is the single most joyous day of my life." Now, he says, he can scratch one more item off his "bucket list."
"The mountain has been climbed!"
For him and other Kings' fanatics across Southern California and in the team's growing and crazed diaspora, the championship -- the first for the Kings since they began play in 1967 -- ended decades of futility for a franchise struggling for success in a sport typically associated with frigid temperatures and icy lakes.
"We're No. 1!" long-suffering Kings fans shouted as they streamed out of the Staples Center after the game on Monday night, undaunted by a heavy police presence.
Others formed a mosh pit outside the arena, jumping and smashing into one another other in celebration. As of late Monday evening, Los Angeles police reported a few minor arrests but no major problems.
The Die Hard Los Angeles Kings Fan Page on Facebook chronicled the rapture, relief and disbelief from the legions who've pulled for the team, as one fan put it, "through thick and thin."
"I love you My Boyzz," one elated fan said. Another didn't know if this was a Hollywood movie or reality: "I still need to be pinched."
"An amazing feeling," another fan said. "Phew. Man. Just. Wow."
Once an afterthought in the city of showbiz and bright lights, the Kings reached the pinnacle of professional hockey in a region long dominated by the NBA's Lakers and Clippers, baseball's Dodgers and Angels, and football and basketball at UCLA and University of Southern California.
The Kings have even been overshadowed by their crosstown Pacific Division rival, the Anaheim Ducks, which won the Stanley Cup in 2007 just 14 years after the franchise started.
This year, Los Angeles just edged into the playoffs as the 8th and last seed in the NHL's Western Conference. Regarded as a solid and respectable team, chances appeared slim that the team would advance in the grinding post-season play that started two months ago.
But the black-clad underdogs, led by goalie Jonathan Quick, slew Goliaths in several best-of-seven series on their way to glory.
They humbled the Vancouver Canucks , a team that had scored 111 points in this year's regular season, the most in the league.
Then the Kings swept the St. Louis Blues and overpowered the Phoenix Coyotes.
They dominated the Devils, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, in the first three games of the series, but New Jersey, with great players such as Ilya Kovalchuk, Patrik Elias, and Zach Parise, didn't say die.
After taking a 3-0 lead, the Devils beat the Kings in the next two games. For the Kings, the specter of losing the series after taking a 3-0 would have been a nightmare for a script that appeared headed to a happy ending.
But the Kings rose to the occasion at the Staples Center on Monday night and blocked the Devils' dream of an upset.
The pace of the game was set in the first period, when the Kings scored three goals during a five-minute power play in the first period after the Devils' Steve Bernier was ejected for boarding. That's when a player is pushed or checked violently into the boards of the rink.
"I'm probably going to watch the Kings Stanley Cup DVD everyday until next season starts," one person said on the Facebook fan page.
Quick displayed his usual prowess, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player during the playoffs. He outshone Devils' goalie legend Martin Brodeur in the finals, but he deferred credit for the Kings' success to the team.
For example, Drew Doughty and Jeff Carter performed with power and flair. Darryl Sutter, longtime player and coach, took over as Kings' coach in December when the team was faltering, and he spurred the team to greater achievement.
Captain Dustin Brown -- who hoisted the cup before a roaring home crowd at the Staples Center before the trophy passed from one screaming King to another -- was another cog in the Kings' wheel.
"You can't say enough about this group and how hard they worked," Quick said.

Sea salt is healthier only because it gets stuck in the holes of the shaker and you can't actually put it on your food.

A Fox News exclusive now on the deadly consulate attack in Libya new information revealing that the US mission in -- -- Ghazi warned the State Department.

Before the deadly terrorist attack.
They killed four Americans including ambassador Chris Stevens joining us now congress -- Peter King he's the chairman of the house committee on Homeland Security.
Also Danielle -- -- with as the vice president of foreign and defense policy studies.
At American Enterprise Institute Danielle be with the in his second and it's gonna talk to congressman -- -- here who's dealing with the aftermath.
A hurricane hurricane -- in his community congressman your reaction to this latest news.
Oh as far as Libya as there's absolutely does just proves once again that this administration is not exposed so that they had to have been forewarned.
Clearly they were not ready -- -- that is bad enough in itself but the fact they've continued to.
You know to cover this up just spread mystery stories this absolute inexcusable -- Popular place about six but the loss of American -- Is -- gold -- com before politics.
And they're clearly the six popular social rules in Libya in big guys in Tripoli awarding of this I mean we've known for a period of -- or I don't have.
Training camps in that area we knew it was -- are better -- Qaeda and Islamist.
And just -- inadequate security and then but not to respond -- the attack was made and it's finally.
Not finally but to continue to difficult to stop the spread the -- stories just apps we're gonna spears well.
Congress -- the lawmakers that continue to ask question are all Republican lawmakers that are continuing to the pressure on the White House for more answers.
-- think the fact is that this is not bipartisan that this is not bipartisan in nature.
-- been asking for more information on -- Ghazi is -- -- affecting the public from getting some more answers.
Serious -- first you have the -- -- it.
Most Democrats are refusing to -- have become involved the most they wanted to just wait -- election's over second either mainstream media.
Is not -- -- yes.
-- -- and so it puts less pressure on the administration.
To make use formation known before or should it try to run out the clock yet but some eighty -- vest -- -- American should always -- before.
Politics -- should not be a partisan issue I would still hope -- more Democrats involved.
I think again this is just the Gator breaks the essence of what a commander in chief -- to do.
That's protect America protect American interest that was not done yet.
And they've continued.
This terrific trapped there by against by spreading misleading story after misleading story.
Congressman king I -- you're very busy in your community thank you for the time today.
We appreciated as always thank you -- Danielle is with this now Danielle how do you see you've been covering a foreign policy -- for years now how do you see just how all of this is evolving and what this new information really means.
Well what the new information really means and we've really seen a drip drip drip of it over the last few weeks.
Is that not only was the administration aware that a terrorist group was involved in the attack on our -- being -- But that they were aware and had been warned by the -- so the regional security officer in our embassy in Tripoli.
That they didn't believe they could protect the conflict in the event of an attack that's what you all reported yesterday and it's absolutely consistent.
With everything else that we've seen coming out and in the press reporting.
-- I was out looking at an article from the New York Times it was from a couple days ago so be curious how maybe this new information changes they're report.
-- but basically the New York Times says listen the smoking gun that Republicans are looking for is not surfacing.
And basically.
Places on a bad strategy that was developed by -- department that became outdated as a situation and they got the change.
And so that's the way that they are describing.
What happens.
With the State Department and -- -- do you agree is there no smoking gun at this point.
I don't really understand how.
You can explain that but I -- as smoking gun unless you're talking about politics.
If you're talking about politics.
Then -- it's absolutely right is there -- smoking gun do we know did the White House know who did it and protect them absolutely not no one suggesting that.
The problem is that the White House and the Democrats in congress are obstructing an investigation.
The other problem is that the White House asked again and again and again about this is continuing to Stonewall and frankly continuing to tell life.
About what happened on September 11 2012 in Ben -- Senator Graham is gonna join us in just a moment and the big question for him now with this investigation.
Is now what -- the investigation is ongoing.
-- -- no answers the question is.
What comes of this John.

The 2014 Nitro Z-9 demonstrates capable speed and handling on the run, reliable level floatation at rest, and ample space on her casting platforms. Nitro Z-9 MissionThe Nitro Z-9 is built to fish big bass and get anglers out of the hole to the hot spots fast. We tested earlier models in the Z-9 line and found that the forward V-hull design enables her to handle well at high speeds in rough chop and avoid slip or skipping in turns. This V-hull design also limits pounding common to full bow bass boats. And in earlier tests, the Z-9 showed no issues with chine walking at higher speeds. The Z-9 delivers on features that enable fishermen to concentrate more purely on rigging and presentation of the bait, because "fish on" is what the Nitro Z-9 is all about. All of this is at a price that gives consumers extremely good value for the money.The Z-9 has a Minn Kota 80 lb. thrust foot controlled trolling motor as standard. Major Features• Rapid planing system (RPS) transom with 16-degree variable deadrise hull.• A conclave forward V hull design intended to enhance steering/handling capabilities in rough water; a stern design featuring sponsons—hull pods at the rear of the craft, extending out around the motor for more stabilized floatation and improved handling performance.• 22.5'' (56.7 cm) transom height with anti-splash, reverse flow transom design for dry power downs.• Choice of 4 Mercury motors mounted on an adjustable jack plate extending 10'' off the transom; a maximum 300 horsepower rating.• 2 custom factory-built aerated livewells, 20 gallon insulated, roto-molded with rounded corners; each with an oxygen generator and pump-out system; equipped with dual bow and driver's console controls including drain controls.• 22-oz. plush marine-grade cut pile carpet on the deck and floor with carpet edge trim; extra padded anti-fatigue comfort floor on bow casting deck.• Flush-mounted Lowrance HDS-7C GPS enabled fishfinder, standard.• Minn Kota Maxxum 24V foot-controlled trolling motor with 80-lb. thrust on 42 inch shaft standard.• 68 gallon fuel capacity and EPA-compliant fuel system.• Color-coordinated, tandem-axle trailer with many standard features including maintenance-free hubs with No Touch Vortex lubrication system.Ample storage is found forward and aft; the seating pictured is standard with the package, while the removable port console shown installed is an option. Elements of SuccessThe 2014 Nitro Z-9 is the newest edition in a lineage of professional-level bass boats that have been a familiar sight at tournaments in recent years. Their popularity is likely due to a thoughtful match-up of price, amenities and performance.Pro-Size Casting DeckAt 20' 9'', the Z-9 has a broad 8' beam. A study of the overhead view of the boat calls attention to a large bow casting platform, along with plentiful room as well on her stern deck. Low-rise, narrow gunwales add room on the fishing decks. Drawing an imaginary straight line across her beam, it's easy to see that most of the forward portion of this boat is all fishing platform.A 96'' beam and broad bow casting platform is shown without the standard power pedestal bicycle bow seat; note the center dry storage compartments and rod storage port and starboard. Optional Dual ConsoleAlthough the cockpit is understandably compact, it is highly functional. The Nitro Z-9 is a single-console boat rigged for a unique cockpit feature—an optional, removable port console that transforms the cockpit floor plan.Important Step-ups for Safety.The aft deck contains 2 molded-in step pads to the elevated stern fishing deck. The center step-up to the forward fishing platform contains a carpet covered cooler compartment and convenient removable trash receptacle. The portside storage compartment functions as a footrest or an additional step up to the bow deck if the port console is absent.A view of the fold-down aft fishing chair in foreground shows the passenger grab handles and the step pads leading to the stern fishing deck; contoured seats have high density foam for comfort. Seating. A complete set of 4 contoured fishing seats including an aft power pedestal folding chair plus a bow bicycle seat also with power pedestal are standard. The molded seats are constructed of high density foam for extra comfort. Helm and passenger seats are also designed with a shock absorption system for additional flex.In fact, so many seats are provided as standard, we wouldn't be surprised if some anglers took a couple off before leaving the dock.Ample Storage. In the center of the bow platform are 3 large dry storage compartments with manual lighting. The center bow compartments have under-lid lure holders/organizers. All storage compartments have insulated aluminum lids with welded corners. There are lift-out storage boxes aft of the cockpit seats, molded with ridges to accept and separate tackle trays.Rod Holders. Oversized port and starboard bow rod lockers with lid assists accommodate rods up to 8 feet long and feature automatic illumination. The portside locker has rod organizers. Speaking of rods, a partner rod ramp with rod holder organizer is right beside the portside seat and a strap is located aft right behind the seat back. There are port and starboard rod hold-down straps as well. Just forward of the console is a built-in, recessed tournament ruler. Bow and aft storage compartments are lockable. Port and starboard bow rod lockers are auto-illuminated; dry storage compartments at center have manual illumination and tackle/accessory lid clips; storage compartments forward and aft are lockable. An inboard courtesy light is also shown. A carpeted step to the bow casting platform contains a cooler and removable trash receptacle; cupholders in the Z-9 are stainless steel; the recessed tournament ruler (inset) is visible adjacent to cupholder and located starboard forward of the helm. The stern storage compartment under the aft deck has removable storage boxes, creating easy access to batteries and the bilge pump; boxes are molded with ridges to accept and separate tackle trays. Note the hat section under the hatch for extra strength. Livewells. Also aft of the cockpit seating, centered in the stern deck are 2 side-by-side insulated Guardian livewells, each with a 20 gallon capacity and equipped with the Max-Air aeration system. Nitro constructs these livewells at the factory; they are roto-molded with rounded corners and each features an oxygen generator and standard pump-out system. Dual bow and driver remote livewell controls include drain controls. The livewell design goes the extra mile to reduce stress on the catch and preserve tournament trophies for weigh-in.The Z-9's twin 20 gallon Guardian livewells are roto-molded and equipped with the Max-Air aeration system; each has an oxygen generator and pump-out system. There are dual remote livewell drain controls. Bow Controls. In addition to livewell controls, trim and bilge controls are located at the bow. The bow panel also has a trolling motor receptacle, anchor light switch and room for an additional depth finder. The trolling motor power distribution panel has 3 50-amp circuits and exterior receptacle. The trolling motor pedal recess is designed for Minn Kota and MotorGuide trolling motors.Bow controls include space for an optional depth finder, anchor light and trim switch; standard trolling motor pedal recess is shown in inset. The non-slip bow step pad is shown in the upper right. Inboard storage drawers are outfitted under the consoles; this image shows the optional removable port console installed. The portside storage drawer compartment serves as an additional step to the bow casting deck if the port console is absent. Engine Options. The Nitro Z-9 is packaged with a choice of 4 Mercury outboards:• 225 L OptiMax Pro XS, 2-stroke.• 250 L OptiMax Pro XS, 2-stroke.• 250 L Verado Pro, 4-stroke.• 300 L Verado Pro, 4-stroke.The manufacturer is confident that the 225 -- part of the lowest priced package -- has plentiful power for optimal performance of this boat. Choice between 2 and 4 stroke motors is of course a matter of personal preference in addition to price. A remote oil fill is standard on models equipped with OptiMax engines. (Visit BoatTEST.com's reviews of Mercury outboard engines for details about each of these models.)Shown is the optional molded port console, which contains a large glove compartment; this port console is easily removable. Hull Construction and Design. The Z-9's glass hull is chemically bonded and mechanically fastened. She has a sturdy transverse and longitudinal fiberglass foam-filled stringer system and a full-width fiberglass-encapsulated all-composite transom for rigidity and strength to handle heavy engines. In addition, her hull is "hand-laid," meaning the builders add pre-cut fiber mats by hand and finish fill-in around them with more fiberglass to add strength and fully fill hull contours. Hull DesignThe 16-degree variable deadrise hull with its V-front is built to cut through rough waves and designed to deliver a smoother, drier ride. The hull warps gradually to the transom where there is a flat pad, common to many bass boats.At the SternThe sponsons or pods at the stern add to buoyancy and stability as anglers move about on the casting decks. The Nitro Z-9's Rapid Planing System (RPS) transom contributes effectively to reduced bow rise. The extended 10 inch adjustable jack plate on the stern adds to overall performance and an improved hole shot.The custom molded console has full instrumentation, a removable tinted windscreen, soft touch digital switches and hydraulic steering with tilt control. At the Helm. The Z-9 has a custom-molded modular console with a 2-tone paint design. New for 2014 is a reconfigured switch panel with soft-touch shroud. There's full instrumentation with speedometer, tach, fuel gauge, trim gauge, water pressure and oil reservoir level indicators and a dash light dimmer switch. She has soft-touch waterproof digital switches with the exception of the master power switch and accessory switches instead of traditional toggles. There's hydraulic steering with tilt control, and under the console is a footrest with a non-skid mat and a recess for an optional Hot Foot pedal. The molded, tinted windscreen is removable.Electrical Details. The Nitro Z-9 comes with water-resistant connectors on all pumps and stowable navigation lights with abrasion-protective wrap on wire runs. These two details of the Z-9's build are particularly important because traditionally, defective wiring and connections have been the Achilles heal of all boats.. She has an automotive-style labeled fuse panel with cover. Aft and easily accessible is an onboard standard, 2-bank, battery charger with exterior receptacle and 20 amp total rating. All of this is standardOptions Available. Here also under a pull-out storage bin is where her Interstate cranking battery and 2 Interstate heavy-duty Series 29 trolling motor batteries are located along with the bilge pump.The Z-9's list of options is impressive, from a battery maintenance system, charger upgrades and guest bank chargers, to a full range of Lowrance and Humminbird electronics. Buyers have their choice of 2 optional covers, 2 different factory-installed Power-Pole anchors, Bluetooth-capable AM/FM stereo and Sirius Satellite Radio. Livewell options are upgradeable, and other optional available amenities are too numerous to mention.The Nitro Z-9 has an integrated fold-down reboarding ladder at the stern. This is a safety device required by ABYC Standards. Standard Tandem-Axle Trailer. The Nitro Z-9's tandem-axle, drive-on package trailer is constructed on an all-welded, unitized tubular frame with powder-coat finish, Galvashield corrosion protection and fiberglass fenders. Axles feature the No Touch Vortex hub lubrication system. The space-saving swing-away tongue gives this rig a storage length of 24' 4''. Surge disc brakes on one axle are standard, as are 14'' radial tires with custom aluminum wheels. It is outfitted with a dual-wheeled, fold-up dolly jack, built in winch steps to the bow deck, and spare tire carrier, although a spare tire is optional.The tandem-axle trailer features a space-saving fold-away tongue and fiberglass fenders. 14'' radial tires with custom aluminum wheels are standard; hubs feature the maintenance free No Touch Vortex lubrication system. Topping out at over 71 mph without chine walking means the Z-9 should be a fun boat to drive. It looks like the anglers here are having fun. Performance and Handling Handling. According to our test captains the Z-9's tracking was straight and true without any torque pull when power is applied, meaning no need for corrective steering as she moves up on plane. Excellent steering response was notable. At WOT, she demonstrated no pounding in the chop as our test captain encountered, and any sign of chine walking is also notably absent. Nitro has continued to improve on features in this new 2014 model. The basic hull design and structural engineering in the 2014s continues to be optimal for a boat of this class.Performance. The Z-9's dry hull weight is approximately 2,100 lbs. Her estimated package weight is 4,050 pounds with a maximum weight capacity of 2,150 lbs. Rated for up to 4 passengers, her maximum person weight of 1,250 lbs. means she can carry some good-sized anglers to the hot spots with ease. The weight of the boat as tested was about 3,350 lbs.The Z-9 draws only 16" which means she can scoot through skinny water. WOT Speed. With a 250-hp Mercury OptiMax swinging a 14 x 25 aluminum prop we recorded a WOT speed of 71.1 mph at 5700 rpms. At that speed she was burning 23 gph.Best Cruise. Her most economical speed on plane was at 4000 rpm where we recorded a speed of 41.9 mph, burning 9.2 gph, getting 4.55 miles per gallon for a range of 278 statute miles. At 1000 rpms she moves along a 5.5 mph and sips fuel providing a range of over 396 statute miles. Clearly, running out of fuel should not be a problem with this rig with her 68-gallon tank, as all numbers above include a 10% reserve. Hole Shot. Her time to plane was 4.6 seconds and she hit 30 mph in 8.6 seconds. PriceEquipped with the standard 225-hp Mercury OptiMax Pro XS engine and tandem axle trailer she has a price of $41340 including dealer prep and freight. Upgrading to the 250 OptiMax, which is the engine combo we tested, will raise the price to $44,340 with dealer prep and freight. Powering the boat with the Mercury 4-stroke Verados of 250-hp and 300-hp will move the price into to the upper 40k range. ObservationsThe Nitro Z-9 is a dependable bass rig with many features and amenities only found in more expensive performance bass boats. She comes packaged with plenty of features as standard. The optional removable port console is a bonus to an already highly functional floor plan and there's no lack of storage and fishing amenities to support serious fishermen and pros alike. Her handling at high speed is exceptional and is as good or better than some far more expensive bass boats we have tested.

I think it's safe to assume that JOC visits here- that's where he got the intel/informed theory on how Wiggy has thrown a hissy fit about losing the lawsuit- mentioning something like that on the only other Stern site wold get you deaded at light speed.

Howard Stern✡ was once a great IRL Troll and self-proclaimed "half-Jew," famous for pioneering the talk radio format. Stern pioneered such ingenious bits such as dial-a-date, lulzy sound clips, the trolling of a whole spectrum of minorities, the exploitation of retards, crack addicts, midgets and various other mongoloids, interviews with dumb actresses and porn stars, and various forms of trolling and lulz.
However, Stern is now the biggest pussy and hypocrite to have ever lived. He proclaims himself to be the King of all Media, but now the old hebe's the King of all Lemonparties. To this day, he still tries to capitalize upon his past, not realizing how much of an IRL old meme he's become.
