And since I don’t know that, I need you out of my sight. I want you to take your ego out of the equation and to judge the situation dispassionately. James Bond: “So you want me to be half monk, half hit-man.” M: “Bond, this may be too much for a blunt instrument to understand – but arrogance and self awareness seldom go hand in hand.” Is the man deranged? And where the hell is he?! In the old days, if an agent did something that embarrassing he’d have the good sense to defect. They care what we get photographed doing – and how the hell could Bond be so stupid? I give him double-oh status and he celebrates by shooting up an embassy. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous ass-covering prigs? They don’t care what we do. M: “Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister and even he’s smart enough not to ask me what we do. I have two pair and you have a 17.4% chance of making your straight.” Le Chiffre: “Weeping blood comes merely from a derangement of the tear duct, my dear General. I believe in a reasonable rate of return.” Steven Obanno: “Do you believe in God, Mr. Benefits of being section chief – I know of anyone of being promoted to double-oh status, wouldn’t I? Your file shows no kills, and it takes…” Dryden: “If M was so sure I was bent, she’d have sent a double-oh. Indian Laurel Fingerboard - Smooth and silky material, featuring a comfortable 12" radius and 22 frets.SlimTaper '60s "C" Neck - Lean profile allows for fast playability at all areas of the Mahogany neck.Hollowbody Design - Yields an open and airy tone, enhanced by the bright-sounding layered Maple tonewoods.Maintaining the classic design elements that make the Casino a rock n' roll legend - namely a large hollowbody construction, an elegant trapeze tailpiece and a punchy P-90 pickup pairing - the Epiphone Casino promises a scintillating sound with superb playability to boot! Key Features In the decades since, the Casino has remained Epiphone's best-selling archtop electric guitar, with a host of modern masters using the model's signature sound to great effect - including Noel Gallagher and The Edge (U2). The Casino is an original Epiphone guitar design with class and style in abundance! First appearing in 1961, the instrument was initially popularised by the likes of Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones), The Beatles and blues legend Howlin' Wolf. Horseshoe has provided a nice little dog park for their guests, but my dog refused to use it because it’s AstroTurf (he doesn’t pee on plastic) so you’ll have to walk a little further to find “real” grass. We were on the 2nd floor and had to hike multiple corridors and then past all the meeting rooms to the elevator down to the first floor to finally reach outside. The biggest problem with this being a pet room though is the distance from your room to the outside. Obviously an earlier dog guest wasn’t happy about being locked in the bathroom from the condition of the bathroom door, but I guess that happens with pet friendly rooms (although I’ve never noticed that in other pet friendly places). Situated at the far, far, end of a long corridor, it was sandwiched between the service elevator and the housekeeping office with a lovely view of the rooftop air conditioning units. A deluxe pet room is really just a standard room with a fake hardwood floor to make cleanup easier. In fact they actually list pet rooms on their site for booking. I love casinos and was delighted to see Horseshoe accepts pets. Play proceeds around the circle with all subsequent players following suit, meaning they play a card of the same suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs or spades) as the person who led the round. Then, the player to the left of the dealer plays a card, which will be the leading suit. Write down each person's bet for reference. After studying their cards, each player says the number of tricks they believe they’ll win that round. The top card from the remaining deck is flipped over, with the suit of the card becoming the trump suit. For a 4 player game, you could start with 12 cards per person while for a 6 player game you could start with 8 per person. You should not deal out all the cards since you need a few remaining cards each round. To begin each hand, an equal number of cards is dealt to each player. The game is best played with 4-6 players. The objective of the card game Oh Hell is to earn points by taking the exact number of tricks per round that you initially guessed you would. they had snacks and drinks in the mini bar and if any of the items were moved for more than 5 seconds, there was an automatic charge. Everything in the room had signs warning you about the charges you would incur if items were moved. nothing special for the $300+ /night price. Easily the worst value I've ever experienced it is extremely overpriced for what it offers. We stayed here this past weekend for a conference I was presenting at and I'm glad we did not have to pay for it ourselves.
The most significant addition to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino is the massive new gaming floor that is completely smoke-free. Let's take a closer look at some of the impressive new amenities you can find there! Smoke-Free Gaming Expansion And in true Hard Rock fashion, the grand opening included a ceremonial guitar smashing! The massive expansion project at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa took about two years to complete, and it has improved the facility to the point where it can legitimately claim to offer one of the biggest and most luxurious gaming experiences in the entire world. There is nothing in the world quite like the thrill of a gaming experience done right, and thanks to a brand new $100 million expansion to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa, residents here at the Villages of Citrus Hills can now treat themselves to an extraordinary experience any time they feel like making the 90-minute drive down to Tampa. The room was mediocre and was missing a chair to the desk and had scuff marks on it. Their website says to use the express check out but I just got an error every time I tried to use it. My bank would have happily released the $150 if I had been able to get a copy of my bill upon check out. I submitted a request for a copy of my bill via the website and never got a response even though they say they will get back to you within 3 days. I requested a copy of my bill and was told that since it was zero dollars, that they could not provide me anything, which I know is incorrect. The hotel staff just refer you to the billing department (who does not answer the phone) and who does not return phone calls after leaving a message. Then, I had to wait for the refund of one night to be put back into my account only to have the authorization for incidentals (which is $150) remain on my account for the full 10 days. First off, I was charged for one night when my stay was supposed to be complimentary. From the beginning, it seemed like there was misinformation from the staff at the hotel on several things. I wasn’t too impressed with the stay at this location. Hajji Ahmed, making his professional debut) gets help along the way from two university professors who feed his imagination as well as his literal hunger.Īs Ahmed tells us in Somali and English, his village is not on any map. "Sky" tells us about a financially poor but culturally rich new American who gets an education and, improbably, becomes a writer. Using a mix of storytelling and dramatic re-creation, Price and her capable cast invest us in the tenacity, travails and dreams of Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, who coscripted this rangy autobiographical work with playwright Harrison David Rivers. A rare, well-crafted work about a Somali-American immigrant, "Sky" offers authentic insight into a member of a community we know mainly from news stories about war, famine and terrorism - themes that are mostly muted here. Paul.īut to dwell on its fetching acting ensemble or the inventive elements of director Faye Price's production would miss something more significant. It would be tempting to focus mostly on the stagecraft of "A Crack in the Sky," the often absorbing and humorous play about a young man's journey from rural Somalia to urban America that premiered Saturday at the History Theatre in St. That earns it a solid place in the history books as the earliest filming of a Bond tale and makes Linda Christian Hollywood’s original “ Bond girl.” (Sorry, Ursula Andress.)īetter still, yesterday I found the full hour of that 1954 small-screen version of Casino Royale on YouTube. This version of Casino Royale, broadcast on October 21, 1954, as part of the CBS-TV series Climax! and re-casting Fleming’s man as a CIA agent, “Jimmy” Bond, predated Sean Connery’s debut as Agent 007, in Dr. She played Valerie Mathis, a character who isn’t in the book but who stood in for the more-familiar Vesper Lynd (and, like Lynd, eventually betrayed Bond). More interesting for Rap Sheet readers is that Christian starred alongside actor Barry Nelson in a one-hour American TV adaptation of Ian Fleming’s first James Bond novel, Casino Royale (1953). Its subject is Linda Christian (1923-2011), a Mexican-born actress who’s said to have relocated to Hollywood after enjoying a romantic fling with Errol Flynn, and who went on to appear in a variety of movies and TV shows on both sides of the border.
