Hotel deLuxe

The Hotel deLuxe is a hotel located in southwest Portland, Oregon, in the Goose Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1912, the hotel was commissioned by Rufus Mallory, a Portland lawyer and politician. and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as the Mallory Hotel). It was sold in 2004, renovated, and reopened as the Hotel deLuxe in 2006.

In 2004, Jemiah Jefferson—who "set a section of one of [her] novels there"—called the hotel "one of the last magical places in [Portland], so precious and evocative of a better-dressed time of sloe-gin fizzes, slingbacks and Benny Goodman, where the bartenders are good-looking, heavy-pouring charmers and mystery seems to lurk in the brilliant reflections of the mirrored walls.

Hotel (board game)

Hotel (known as Hotels in North America) is a dimensional real estate game created by Milton Bradley in 1986. It is similar to Square Mile and Prize Property. In Hotel the players are building resort hotels and attempting to drive their competitors into bankruptcy.

Gameplay

Players take turns moving around the board. Each square on the board is adjacent to one or two hotel properties. Most of the squares are either purchase squares or building squares.

Whenever a player lands on a purchase square which is adjacent to an unowned property they may buy that property by paying the purchase price. Once they own a property they may attempt to build on it whenever they land on a building square. A special dice is rolled to determine if permission to build is granted or denied. If it is denied the player must wait for a later turn.

When permission is granted to build the player may add new buildings or facilities to their property. Each hotel has from one to five buildings and a set of recreational facilities. The main building must be built first, followed by the other buildings then the facilities. The cost of each addition is listed on the deed card for the property.

City Sleeps

City Sleeps was an American rock band, formed in 2005. Originally called Smugface and playing an aggressive, somewhat progressive style of alternative rock in line with the nu metal of the late 1990s and early 2000s, it wasn't until around 2004 that this Atlanta-bred quintet changed its sound and image, and subsequently its name to City Sleeps.

Smugface consisted of core members Adriel Garcia (guitar), John Whitney (drums), and Elliott Sharp (vocals); early demos—produced by Rick Beato from Universal recording act Billionaire—got the band considerable attention in underground rock circles, as well as on the popular music site MP3.com. Members of alternative metal outfit Cold got wind of the group and were impressed, eventually bringing them to the attention of Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, who almost signed Smugface to his Interscope imprint, Flawless Records.

Things were slowly changing internally, however, and by 2003, Smugface were noticeably transitioning into a much more melodic rock band, complete with big guitars and near-pop choruses. This new sound led to the band being noticed by producer John Feldmann (of the ska-punk band Goldfinger), who had previously worked successfully with similar groups like the Used and Story of the Year. He contacted the group in 2004 and the guys flew out to Los Angeles to record with him. City Sleeps—as they were then going by—were soon signed to Maverick/Warner Bros. Records, and by the following year, they had completed their debut, entitled Walker's Ridge, which was scheduled to be released in early 2006.

Background

Boxy Boy

Souko Ban Deluxe (倉庫番DELUXE, Sōkoban Derakkusu), known as Boxy Boy in the United States is a puzzle arcade game released by Namco in 1990; it runs on Namco System 1 hardware, and is based on the Sokoban game series, by Thinking Rabbit. It is a graphically enhanced implementation of the then-8-year-old Japanese puzzle game phenomenon, and is the only implementation of Sokoban to be released in the arcades - and while it features all the rules of regular Sokoban it also has a timer which determines how long the player character, "Rabi-kun" will have to clear the current round, before the game ends - and even if the player decides that he or she has to start the round over, the timer will not be reset. If the player runs out of time, he or she can insert another coin to continue from the current round, with a full timer; there are fifty-five in all, and the player can start from the first, twelfth, twenty-third, thirty-fourth and forty-fifth ones. The five rounds whose numbers are multiples of eleven are also indicated with a question mark - and, after the player clears one of the five rounds whose numbers are multiples of ten, he or she shall actually get to see the following (question-marked) round. If the player clears a round in enough steps (a step is counted every time the player pushes the joystick, or presses the Reverse Button to undo one of his or her previous moves), he or she will also receive a "Best Steps" or "Good Steps" bonus - and some of the music in this game was later reused in Namco's unreleased prototype game Puzzle Club (although it was never actually released in the arcades).
