Feminists' discovery that "identity" was politically serviceable did not end with Friedan's book. Subsequent feminist efforts illustrated even more broadly than Friedan's partiality to Maslovian theory how the language and theoretical tools of psychology could be made relevant and usable to the women's movement. Before the 1960s, discussions of "identity" were confined mainly to the literature on developmental psychology. During the 1960s and after, the term served as a clue to who had power, who did not, and why. It became so central to feminists, in fact, that the term "identity politics" circulated widely as a shorthand reference to a particular political position. In an abbreviated fashion, it alluded to the constellation of ideas that held the building blocks of individuality—gender, age, race, class, sexual orientation, among others—to be an efficient means of both understanding and dismantling the structure of social and political inequality. It offered, in other words, a way of tying individual experience to social context.
Throughout the postwar era, the concept of identity was closely identified with the work of German emigré psychoanalyst Erik Erikson.[69] Erikson dated its origin to his clinical work with World War II veterans, who had reported an eerie loss of feelings related to personal uniqueness and historical continuity.[70] It was during the 1950s that "identity crisis" entered the language as a common term for the first time. As a national panic over an epidemic of juvenile delinquency esca-
lated, the concept seemed a convenient way to think about the dangers posed by adolescent male development. During the 1960s, Erikson suggested that young people had also lost their place in history, just like the veterans he had treated. In Erikson's psychosocial ideas, many young people found confirmation (or at least an explanation) of their own commitment to radical politics. Numerous social scientists also used Erikson's work as an aid in exploring the origins of the period's social movements.[71] Erikson repeatedly assented to such sociological applications.[72]
A 1964 article, "Inner and Outer Space: Reflections on Womanhood," brought Erikson to the attention of feminists.[73] Based on Erik-son's work in a two-year University of California child study (which had not been intended as an investigation of gender identity or development), the article explored the gender differences in special relationships that Erikson had observed in children's play. Boys, he found, emphasized outer spaces, protrusions, and people and animals in (sometimes destructive) motion. Girls, on the other hand, emphasized inner spaces and peaceful enclosures containing people and animals at rest.
To Erikson, it was obvious that such differences indicated that "a profound difference exists between the sexes in the experience of the ground plan of the human body."[74] He explained that his concern with women's reproductive biology was not "a renewed male attempt to 'doom' every woman to perpetual motherhood and to deny her the equivalence of individuality and the equality of citizenship."[75] He nevertheless concluded that "women have found their identifies in the care suggested by their bodies and in the needs of their issue, and seem to have taken it for granted that the outer world space belongs to the men."[76]
Erikson came under fierce feminist fire.[77] Kate Millett, in her widely read Sexual Politics, accused him of reducing sexist social arrangements to biological inevitabilities and denying women the freedom he automatically granted to men: to forge identifies not circumscribed by "somatic design."[78] In part, what irked his feminist critics was also that Erikson's analysis sounded benign, at least in comparison to vulgar biological determinism. His sympathy for women, and his willingness to accord them ethical superiority in their presumed fidelity to peacefulness and nurturance, struck Millett as a clever way of leaving unquestioned the "clear understanding that civilization is a male department."[79]
Wounded and angry, Erikson defended himself. He pointed out that the essay was intended as an alternative to orthodox psychoanalytic theory, a direct challenge to the objectionable notion that female psychological development revolved around the absence of a penis. Erikson, who considered himself a friend to women, was dismayed that his ideas had been interpreted as a mockery of women's human potential, and suggested that the unfortunate misunderstanding had occurred because his ideas had been ripped from the context that made them intelligible.[80] Their lack of appreciation for his prowoman stance prompted Erikson to attribute to feminists a "moralistic projection of erstwhile negative self-images upon men as representing evil oppressors and exploiters," a statement that feminists doubtlessly perceived as both a slur and yet another example of how easily experts could dismiss feminist demands by resorting to psychological analysis.[81]
Whatever their differences with and attitude toward Erikson, feminists proceeded to use "identity" in their own way and for their own purposes. Theorists at various points on the political spectrum of feminism quickly latched onto the process of female socialization as the preferred explanation for feminine thought and behavior. It was an explanation that necessarily favored nurture over nature, history and culture over biology. Because socialization was a social process by definition, highlighting it highlighted the power of deliberate social arrangements in the manufacture of gender's meaning. In comparison, most feminists believed, biological sex was purely accidental and altogether trivial.
Kate Millett proclaimed "socialization" to be the ideological foundation of patriarchal power. Without "the formation of human personality along stereotyped lines of sexual category," she argued, consent for a system of male-dominated "sexual politics" would be impossible to obtain.[82] Such uncompromising emphasis upon the social dimensions of subjective experience was a common theme in the early years of the women's movement. Socialist-feminist Meredith Tax, for example, wrote,
We didn't get this way by heredity or accident. We have been molded into these deformed postures, pushed into these service jobs, made to apologize for existing, taught to be unable to do anything requiring any strength at all, like opening doors or bottles. We have been told to be stupid, to be silly. We have had our mental and emotional feet bound for thousands of years. And the fact that some of the pieces that have been cut out of us are ones we can never replace or reconstruct—an ego, self-confidence, an ability to make choices—is the most difficult of all to deal with.[83]
Tax expressed the rage and pain many women felt about "the pieces that have been cut out of us." But the argument that female identity had been distorted by sexist social programming and interpersonal relationships had a very bright side. Identity could be changed through social decisions and actions.
Over the long term, alterations in childrearing practices appeared especially promising as a method of reforming gender socialization. Bringing children up differently held out the possibility of eliminating polarized roles, traits, and behaviors and encouraging gifts and boys alike to explore a wider range of human possibilities. Nancy Chodorow, a graduate student in sociology during the late 1960s, was interested in how the division of childrearing labor reproduced gendered personalities. Inspired by the work of culture and personality anthropologists, she noticed that although wide cross-cultural variation existed in behaviors and traits categorized as either masculine or feminine, women were always the primary socializers of infants and young children. Female caretaking was an apparent "cultural universal."[84] She hypothesized that a developmental process requiring both girls and boys to separate from their mothers in order to gain an independent psychological identity was at the root of problematic gender differentiation.
In hers, as in the other feminist critiques reviewed above, a central theme was that most psychologists, anthropologists, and other social and behavioral experts had done a terrible disservice by transposing malleable feats of culture into supposedly ironclad facts of nature. Chodorow's analysis offered an alternative. The sharp division of socializing labor between men and women because of the alleged fit between childbearing and childrearing was revealed to be a thoroughly cultural construct with profound implications for the production of gendered personalities and the maintenance of male supremacy. Chodorow tried to illustrate how the construction of gender identity might be treated as a social process while still conserving the psychoanalytic tradition's close attention to the significance of early childhood and the familial environment.
Shocked to learn they were different from their female caretakers, she speculated, boys had to actually do something in order to achieve masculinity, and that something often involved distancing themselves from the feminine by attributing power and prestige to whatever activities were culturally defined in masculine terms. Girls' development was smoother, but the results were more self-destructive. Because they were not different from their female caretakers, their identity did not have
to be earned through activity distinguishing them from their mothers. Feminine identity simply was. Ascribed as a product of nature, women's identity was readily internalized by girls as a given, only to be re-created through the next generational cycle of childrearing. "Until male 'identity' does not depend on men's proving themselves, their 'doing' will be a reaction to insecurity, not a creative exercise of their humanity, and woman's 'being,' far from being an easy and positive acceptance of self, will be a resignation to inferiority."[85]
Chodorow was neither the only theorist impressed by women's exclusive responsibility for child care nor the only one to stress that gifts and boys alike would benefit from growing up around men and women whose creativity managed to encompass child nurture and a wider range of other activities than were typically allowed by either masculinity or femininity. An equal division of domestic labor between men and women, from dishes to diapers, became one of the movement's central demands. Organizing projects were formed to draft men into child care, to promote nonsexist educational materials, and to ease women's domestic responsibilities. Practical equality, feminists maintained, was a simple matter of social justice for women. But it was also, as Chodorow had suggested, a matter of everyone's mental health. If men and women were equally represented as socializers, and if children were exposed to a diversity of adult possibilities, the result might be a new, and improved, experience of self. Girls and boys alike would grow to be more integrated, secure, and fully human women and men.

A man cleaning his gun at an apartment off Cliffdale Road accidentally shot two people in a neighboring unit, the Fayetteville Police Department reported.
The neighbors suffered minor injuries, said police spokesman Gavin MacRoberts.
Ethan Chriman of the 400 block of Regency Drive was cleaning a .45-caliber pistol when it discharged, MacRoberts said. The bullet struck a man in the arm and a woman in the leg.
Chriman went to the apartment to ask if they were OK, MacRoberts said, and he called 911. The injuries were treated at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center.
Chriman was charged with discharging a firearm inside the city limits, MacRoberts said.
In a similar incident in Chadbourn in Columbus County last year, a man's rifle discharged in his home. The bullet went through a window into a neighbor's yard, where it struck three people. One of them, a 16-year-old girl, was killed.

A 2-year-old Mississippi girl is the first child to be "functionally cured" of HIV, researchers announced Sunday.
Researchers said they believe early intervention -- in this case within 30 hours of birth -- with three anti-viral drugs was key to the outcome.
A "functional cure" is when the presence of the virus is so small, lifelong treatment is not necessary and standard clinical tests cannot detect the virus in the blood.
The finding was announced at the 2013 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta.
The unidentified girl was born HIV-positive to a mother who received no prenatal care and was not diagnosed as HIV-positive herself until just before delivery.
"We didn't have the opportunity to treat the mom during the pregnancy as we would like to be able do to prevent transmission to the baby," said Dr. Hannah Gay.
Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, told CNN the timing of intervention in this case, before the baby was diagnosed HIV-positive, may deserve "more emphasis than the particular drugs or number of drugs used."
"We are hoping that future studies will show that very early institution of effective therapy will result in this same outcome consistently," she said on the eve of the conference.
High-risk exposure
Dr. Katherine Luzuriaga, an immunologist at the University of Massachusetts who worked closely with Gay, called the developments fascinating, including the fact that the toddler was found to have no virus in her blood even after her mother stopped giving her treatment for eight to 10 months.
"This is the very first case in which we've conclusively been able to document that the baby was infected and then after a period of treatment has been able to go off treatment without viral rebound," Luzuriaga told CNN.
Because it was determined the Mississippi mother was HIV-positive, once the baby was delivered, Gay immediately began giving the infant antiretroviral drugs in an attempt to control HIV infection.
"We started therapy as early as possible, which in this case was about 30 hours of age," the physician said. "And because it was a high-risk exposure, I decided to use three drugs rather than one."
Within a couple of days, Gay confirmed that the child was HIV positive. She says the baby had probably been infected in the womb.
The child remained on antiretroviral drugs for approximately 15 months. Her mother then stopped administering the drug for some reason and care was resumed after health officials intervened, Gay said.
Researchers have long known that treating HIV-positive mothers early on is important, because they pass antibodies on to their babies.
"One hundred percent of (HIV-positive) moms will pass those antibodies, but in the absence of treatment, only 30% of moms will transmit the actual virus," Luzuriaga told CNN.
HIV-positive mothers given appropriate treatment pass the virus on in less than 2% of cases, Luzuriaga said.
"So all babies are born antibody positive, but only a fraction of babies born to HIV positive women will actually get the virus, and that fraction depends on whether the mom and baby are getting antiviral prophylaxis (preventative treatment) or not," said Luzuriaga.
Newborns are considered high-risk if their mothers' HIV infections are not under control or if they are found to be HIV-positive when they're close to delivering.

"Mostly disappointing"
As a child, I spent a fair amount of time (all summer, each year) at nearby Lake Winola. As a family, we went to Shadowbrook often for ice cream, and occasionally miniature golf. I was SO excited to go there! My husband was so disappointed in the room that he was up most of the night, and ended up around 4 going for breakfast (he said that was a pleasant […] experience, at least) and we then proceeded to get showered and ready to leave hours earlier than intended. I never even got to see the restaurant, which was my reason for going there. I was saddened by the condition of the room. The staff was kind and friendly, which was the only thing that was acceptable. I'm so sorry to have my childhood memories shattered. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia
"Decent hotel, great if you love to golf"
It appeared that one side of the hotel was renovated and the rooms looked amazing. We were stuck in the non-renovated rooms for a hefty price considering the condition. It's not near many activities except golf and a quite town 5 minutes down the road. Place to go sky diving near by, movie theater and some restaurants that's about it.Avaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia
The bathroom was gross. Very outdated. The television stand was outdated. They had an old entertainment with a flat screent tv stationed on top of it. You had to look at the ceiling practiclly to watch television. The king size bed only had two flat pillows on it Then the only thing we looked forward to was the pool and the hot tub and we could not […] even use it because they had to schock it. I woud not recommend this to my enemy. Oh and then we ordered food and it was the worse philly cheese steak i have ever ate in my life. The whole expereince was terrible.

The stay was horrible the room is very out dated but I could live with that. The carpet on the floor was stained I couldn't even tell you what color it was supposed to be. There was several soft spots in the floor that felt like you would fall through. After getting a shower and grabbing a towel off the rack there was bugs in it but not just one towel […] all of them had bugs in them. I stayed here because I was at a wedding and wanted to stay on site NEVER AGAIN. I was supposed to have a king bed and ended up with two full. They were as comfortable as laying on the floor.

"In bad need of renovations"
Our second stay here (first was in Oct 2012). I had observed at that time that the place badly needs renovation, everywhere. Well, no such renos were done... Unfortunately, there are only a few hotels in this area, so I surmise that hotel management is banking on that fact to keep offering sub-par accommodations at a premium price. I had reserved two […] rooms: one was just OK in terms of cleanliness, but it was ostensibly located near some machinery room and we could hear that machinery go on periodically thru the night. Second room had this strong moldy smell to it. The front desk attendant was the same one as in Oct 2012, with the same 'I don't care' attitude as before. On the upside, the swimming pool was a welcome amenity during this balmy weekend. Nice quiet surroundings. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com

The place is clean and the staff was helpful. The place is a little dated and needs some upgrades. Good entertainment at the bar and a good meal. Big room with plenty of space.

"One night stay was worth the money."
My daughter and I stayed for one overnight stay. The hotel address was not on my gps so I had to get cross street address from hotel in order to find it. It seemed as though it had many gas line workers staying there. You could hear people getting up early, water running and doors opening and closing around 6:00 a.m. The room was clean and bed was comfortable […] it also had free wifi which worked well for me. The furniture and bathroom was dated. It would be nice if furniture and decorations were updated. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia

"nice getaway"
Contrary to the other reviews, that I have read about Shadowbrook, we had a marvelous experience. If you are going into your trip that you are going to the Waldorf Astoria, you will be very disappointed. If you are going into your trip wanting a quaint, nostalgic resort nestled in the mountains with activities and tranquility of days gone by, you will […] have an amazing time. While there, we played a round of golf and attended a wedding. They are in the process of updating rooms. We were in an older room, that had not yet been updated, but it was clean and comfortable. The bride to be had a renovated room and it was also clean and comfortable. Both had flat screen tvs and refrigerators and microwaves. The only complaint that I had was the bathroom was very small... but then again, since the sink was outside of it, it wasn't an issue. We will be going back for a weekend getaway, hopefully before the snow starts to relax again. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia
"Ok place to crash..."
I got to the hotel after 11 so I had to ring the front desk to be let in. The lady at the desk was nice...but after I went out to move my car and get my bags I had to be let into the building again. I understand the point but it does make things complicated. The room itself was pretty good, though there was a musty smell to the room like it hadnt been […] used in a while. While the place was not dirty it was also not kept up. Everything was really old and needed a fresh coat of paint. But if you are just looking for a place to crash for the night like I was, it wasn't bad. Though it wouldn't be my first choice of a place to stay. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia

"The Truth"
We are staying here right now...We just had to go get sheets to make our own bed because room service is once a day (8:30 am - ish) and if you miss that you are out of luck. BTW the sheets provided at 11:30 pm to make our bed were not the correct size, contacted the front desk twice and still do not have the correct sheets but made do with what we had. […] Now lets describe the accommodations: The hand towels looked like they were recycled from the 70's -dingy, worn, and not customized for adults; antiquated light fixtures; center window handle broke and window does not shut- left unsecured; no doors on closet - no hangers; doors on bath room sink are made from peg board (the stuff you hang tools on in the garage); the sink and shower show years of use without upkeep; air conditioner has only one speed and that is high; one little bar of soap, the main door has damage (appears to be a fist) and is not custom fit to the door frame therefore you can see about 1 1/2 inches under the door into the hallway; Despite the above list of terrible items - they are a few surprises of modern amenities - nice flat screen TV, mini refrig that is actually cold, a microwave that looks useable, a one cup coffee maker, hot water, a unconcealed safe, and finally (although we didn't golf) the course appeared to look ok. For best service - do not refuse room service if they knock at any hour!!! If you do you will be on a treasure hunt for clean linens and more towels.

I have to be honest b/c that is what these reviews are for. The girls that worked there were absolutely sweet and nice. However, at the front desk, they did not "look" professional. A few had wet hair and just appeared unkept. For a place with the name "Resort" you need to look professional. The certainly were professional in their actions and were […] friendly, but appeareance is a lot. The front desk is like your bussiness card. It should display the image you want to portray. Also, the spa at the pool had jets but no hot water, it was the same temp as the pool. That is the first time I have ever seen anything like that. My children had a great time.

The end of the Chris Moyles Radio 1 breakfast show in just five weeks time also signals an end to his trademark sung, sometimes cheesy, jingles as BBC bosses advise producers of the new imaging to "steer clear of sung jingles and variants of breakfast themes and identities past and present."
The BBC is right to demand a different sound from its new show.
The singing jingles, the play on nostalgia and the utter cheesiness of some of them were the Moyles trademark. Love them or hate them, the words and the tunes got into our heads and stayed there – as they were intended to do. It was sheer genius in terms of promoting Radio 1′s flagship programme. However the new man, Nick Grimshaw, has to do something completely different. His challenge is to build his own identity and in many ways do the complete opposite to his predecessor.
So, does that mean the love 'em or hate 'em singing jingle has had its day?
Not at all! Sung jingles are in with a vengeance and are still one of the best ways of promoting a brand. When Chris Evans took over the Radio 2 breakfast show, he introduced his own singing jingle to open the show, again to be distinctive from his predecessor Terry Wogan who'd successfully stuck to a simple music and chat format for many years. Each presenter needs to stamp their own identity on his or her show and the best way is to do something new so you're seen as being different and not constantly compared with the person who occupied the hot seat before you.
Sung jingles are a very clever way to get your message and brand into our heads, if people are singing your slogan you can't really top that. The TV ad men have known it for years, and radio stations – which are brands in themselves – are rediscovering the power of the sung jingle to reinforce their station names and slogans. Who HASN'T found 'you can't get quicker than a Kwit Fit fitter' buzzing around in their head at some point, or had an operatic moment in the bath thanking their stars that they went to Go Compare?! Whether it's the "red car and the blue car had a race", in which smart old blue "took the Milky Way" or the singing lovelies in the pink convertible urging "girls get onto Sheila's Wheels", when the jingle's in your head, the ad men have done their jobs.
That's why radio is rediscovering sung jingles as a way to create a memorable brand, essential in today's crowded radio marketplace. With modern recording techniques sung jingles are becoming more economical to produce making them accessible to the smaller radio stations as well as the big ones. Music Radio Creative makes quality sung jingles designed to be accessible to business owners, internet radio stations, podcasters, DJs, community radio and hospital radio stations.
Have your say on sung jingles in the comments. Do you love them or hate them?

Peaks Restaurant
Online Reservations
We visited the Peaks Restaurant for lunch during our trip on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. The food was excellent. We had the hummus sampler as an appetizer and it was very tasty. The burgers were huge - definitely plenty of food. We were seated next to a window and the view was great! We would definitely recommend the Peaks Restaurant!
Lovely service, really nice salad and a great view
The food was great, the restaurant was neat, the view gorgeous!
We stopped for lunch after hiking to unwind and enjoy the spectacular view and a simple meal, not expecting much else at these kinds of places. We were pleasantly surprised and delighted by how good the food and service was. Will definitely come back and the future to dine at sunset.
We made reservations for 7 PM, but arrived earlier than 6:30 PM. We asked for a good table with a view for our date night on our reservations and we were seated, at 6:30 PM, on the top level over looking the restaurant, patio are and the valley below. We received just what we had asked for regarding seating. Ordered 2 steaks with sides and loved every bite. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Dellarie was our server and did an excellent job. She checked on us regularly without being intrusive. For us, it was a bit pricey. But it was well worth it for the view, service and food we received on our special evening out. I am only giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of the prices, other than that it is a 5 star rating.
Reasonably priced, great view, attentive service. We brought our young Marine for a special birthday (and to get him out of the desert heat). Venue discounted price by 10% and brought him a special dessert.
The food was well beyond expectation given the isolated location. Everything was well prepared and presented in an outstanding manner.
We were surprised by the quality of the food and the extensive wine list available for dinner. We had the pork chops and the salmon and each dish was wonderful. The pork chops were thick and tender while the salmon was very light and perfectly cooked. The decor was a bit "touristy" but the view was spectacular. We are trying to find justification for planning another trip back to tram and to dinner.
At the top of the Palm Springs Tram, Peaks offers great views and a memorable dining experience. Their one of a kind Beet Ricotta Fettuccini is absolutely wonderful and worth the trip alone. Other selections are limited and average. Service was attentive and pleasant. It would be a great advantage to this restaurant, however, if a credit to the $20++/ person tram fee was discounted for diners.
We enjoyed dinner @Peaks for 2nd time. Fabulous Frank (the bartender) full of conversation & kept us laughing! Recommended a wonderful wine managed to sell me the whole bottle Requested Joe for our server. He recommended the pork chop & fettuccine & were not disappointed. He also recommended some great places in Palm Springs to go to for dancing. Lincoln (one of the chefs)suggested we try the BLT's for lunch. He was so enthusiastic about his job & food we told him we would be back the next day. He kindly gave guest passes for the tram. He was right the BLT was great. Gerard (head of security) friendly & helpful. JoAnne, tram operator & we will wait for her to take us anytime we go she is so fun & loves her job. Highly recommend the trip up!
We were so pleased with our dinner at Peaks. The tram ride up is a bit scary, but well worth it for the views when you get to the top. The menu is limited, but what they do, the do well. Our food was delicious and our waiter was charming and just the right amount of attentive. If you are visiting Palm Springs you should go - you won't be disappointed.
We truly enjoyed our dinner at Peak's Restaurant. I would rate the food as a B and the view as an A+. The choice of entrees is somewhat limited, but when you consider what it takes to get food to the restaurant, it is not surprising that there are fewer choices. The food was well-prepared and the service was very good. There was a also a decent wine list. As other reviewers have noted, there are seats in the restaurant with views that will be blocked by people walking by the restaurant, but we were seated near the lookout point, which provided a beautiful view--especially as the sun went down. The price for the Tramway is slightly less after 4 p.m. too, which helps if you are primarily going up for dinner and don't plan a long hike.
My family and I dined at Peaks restaurant while vacationing in California. I booked the reservation in advance of our trip and everything was perfect. The view on top of the mountain was breath taking and the food outstanding. Our waitress anticipated our every need. The atmosphere on the mountain added to the experience. I would recommend this restaurant highly!
I took my 16 and 10 year old boys to Peaks and they loved it. The food was phenominal and the view was breath taking.
service was great. tables a little too close to others. salmon & steak was great.
Great view and great food. Could definitely be romantic. Service needs work.
We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing dinner at Peaks. The food and wine were good and reasonably priced for the location. The staff were wonderful.
Peaks Restaurant will become one of my favorites. At the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, getting there is absolutely wonderful. Once one arrives, s/he is seated with his/her party and treated wonderfully well by an enthusiastic staff. The menu has amble items from which to choose, and the food is excellently prepared. This is not a visit once restaurant as one will want to return. After dinner, catch the tram back down to the valley at night. It is spectacular. But be forewarned that women should have a wrap after summer as it gets very cool outside starting in mid-September.
Perfect treat for out of town guests. Celebrated a birthday and fun all around. Marvelous ambiance! Thank you
We read many mixed reviews prior to our trip to Palm Springs and were prepared for excellent scenery and "so-so" food. Our server explained the restaurant had recently changed chefs and told us she had received a lot of positive feedback since the change. I ordered the brick chicken and my wife had the pasta Parisian. Both were excellent and had us totally satisfied with our decision to try Peaks. The server was very friendly and attentive and the view from the restaurant was really amazing. The tram ride and our visit to Peaks was without a doubt the best part of our trip to Palm Springs. I strongly encourage those traveling to the Palm Springs area to give it a try. Thanks Peaks!!
My wife and I visited for our anniversary. We were 15 minutes early to our reservation and were taken in right away. The staff was very friendly and quick and worked well as a team. The tables were rather close in proximity so we were able to hear our neighboring tables conversation and I'm sure they could hear ours. Not a big deal, unless you are looking for privacy. My wife enjoyed her salmon dinner, and I did not enjoy my filet as one should enjoy a filet. I'm sure it was just bad luck as everything else including the dinner bread was on point. Be sure to visit the exterior views surrounding the restaurant before dark as the security team locks the gate for safety reasons.
The views over Palm Springs are breathtaking and are a wonderful acomponiment to the delicious food! The steaks were outstanding and cooked to perfection. The service was perfect and our waiter looked after our every need. I wish I lived in Palm Springs so I could visit over and over again, if you are ever in Palm Springs the aerial tramway with dinner at the peaks is a must do!
Nice restaurant made special by that beautiul view. Food was good, quick friendly service, overall a very niice place. We went early evening & got to view the sunset, highly reccomended
Great time, excellent service, great food. What more can you say.
The food at Peaks was delicious. We had a party of 8 and everyone tried something different and it was all great. The surrounding view of the mountains is also breathtaking. The only disappointing part was the restaurant its self. The Tables and chairs were old and the decor of the restaurant did not match the quality of the food.
My friend and I were very pleased with the food and cocktails. The view is astounding! Service was a little on the lax side, but may have just been that particular night. We will be back again and recommend Parks to others.
Excellent view watching the sunset as we had a glass of wine and a great meal! Food was really good and the service was just as good.
It was my first time up to the tram and Peaks, and it was awesome! The food was delicious!! I would like to come back and try dinner and see the night view.
A special occasion brought us to the top of the mountain. Great view. Food was ok, price ok, but view made it all worth it!
We were celebrating our Mom's 85th Birthday by fulfilling her wish to be in Palm Springs, and experience the Aerial Tramway for her first time. We included dinner plans at the Peaks restaurant . This was such a perfect evening. The views are breathtaking. The staff was very friendly, and the service was the very best. They made this celebration a very "special" one indeed. They put extra effort into displaying a sugar-free dessert which we brought in, and all gathered to sing a resounding version of Happy Birthday. Our Mom was thrilled, and we could not have been happier with our choice of dinner locations.
Whenever we're in Palm Springs for our wedding anniversary, we celebrate the evening with dinner at the Peak. The food is excellent and the service is fantastic. Very friendly and outgoing staff.
Great view and the service was very friendly. The food was a little slow getting to the table but you have te entire view from over 8500 feet up to keep you entertained. Food was very tasty though.
My first trip on the tram and dinner was a surprise. The food was very good with attentive service. The ambiance was like being at a ski resort in early October! Friendly, attentive- limited wine and menu but nice.... Unbelievable view at and to the restaurant! Worth the trip.
Ambience and setting were great. Salmon and Filet Mignon were overcooked (medium well had NO pink and outside was charred). Overall OK meal but certainly not a $38 steak (unless on factors in the cost to transport the meat to the top of the Tram). Would recommend for special occasion/views.
the ride up was breath taking and the atmosphere great! It was my wife's BDay we had a ball
First time here. There were 4 of us. For our appetizer we ordered the mushroom, brie cheese with apricots. Dinner we ordered filet mignon, pasta and the 14 oz steak. They were cooked exactly how we ordered them. The best steak I have ever had. Desert raspberry cheese cake, creme brule and bread pudding. Everything was perfection.
The service at Peaks is very good as was the food. Location is everything here as it sits atop the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and the view is spectacular if it is a clear night.
Great View, AMAZING service, wonderful food and wine. Will definitly come back again! Great ambiance and the meat load is better than my moms!!!
Great to place for a special occasion, it was our 23rd wedding anniversary and from going up to the peak by a cable car, then a great view of California from the top, and a great romantic dinner with great food. What else could you ask for.
Situated at 8,620' its an awesome view! Tram ride up to the resturant does add about $25 per person but the view and the food is worth it. Get there before it gets dark to really enjoy the ride up. The food and service is worth the extra cost.
Excellent place to enjoy family and friends in the relaxed atmosphere. The view is outstandingly breath taking.
seems like the seating should be more around the views
Wonderful place to impress someone special. Gotta tell you tho, the ride up will blow your mind I would advise to dine at night, then you can see, all the lights of the city. Someone might want to return the pleasure when you get home.
Overall experience was nice! We enjoyed the Turkey Dinner. The dinner started off with a scrumptious butternut squash soup! The soup was so good, we almost asked for a second helping. The dinner came next, a beautiful arrangement of sliced turkey breast drizzled with gravey, well rounded scoops of garlic mashed red (yum) potatoes and cornbread stuffing along with thickly sliced glazed carrots! The Peaks Restaurant turkey dinner was almost as good as home made! The large ceiling to floor windows provided a nice view of the patio or view of the valley below (depending were you are seated). The service was excellent. Thank you Peaks Restaurant for our wonderful experience!!
Thanksgiving they had no turkey for dinner. The waiter said they ran out of turkey at lunch time. The restaurant knew how many people were coming to dinner because of the reservations they had. The restaurant was out of a lot of food and overpriced. The food quality was good. The desert selection compared to other restaurant was poor. The children did not get enough food to eat off the children menu.
Well it was crowded and I expected that on the ride up, lots of families with small children. They added a new restaurant unfortunately, they did nothing to create a upscale restaurant the exact same flooring and furniture from the old set up. They added only a small storage room and two room dividers, which does nothing for the noise level because of the high ceilings. The prices are much too high for the "quality" of food, $16 for an appetizer of 8 shrimp! We went up for the thanksgiving dinner, they only bought 14 or 17 turkeys I overheard staff say so the portions were ridiculously small for the $28 per plate with the small salad. So they ran out before noon and our reservation was at 3 pm. Bad experience, don't waste your time.
The view is amazing, the service excellent and the pork chops were the best I've ever had. It was truly a magical dining experience. I am looking forward to returning in the near future.
Great place at the top of the Tram. Makes a wonderful day - the ride, the lunch and a little look around in the cold.
The food was delicious and nicely presented. We had the charred shrimp appetizer. The Caesar salad followed - all the familiar tastes but very unusual presentation. For encore we had the filet minon - delicious. I was not impressed with the creme broule, or the pumpkin cheesecake desserts. All in all all a bit pricey but most enjoyable from start to finish. The tramway rides and a hike at the top were a nice bonus
The Peaks not only provide an unequalled view, but the food does not disappoint. Steak and seafood, high quality sides and a generous and imaginative dessert menu. Attentive, but not too, service also. It adds up to a magical night for a birthday celebration. Bring family and friends for a wonderful meal with a view to kill.

Good for the Price
loved it; even though the fabric wasn't really great quality but when she wore it she looked stunning and the pictures look great. If you want to have a real mermaid you will have to add a volume with a tulle petticoat under the skirt. The only thing I did not like was that it wasn���t completely white, it was sort of off white, more noticeable at the bra level, other than that it was great. See the pictures.

I needed a flattering dress that was also inexpensive for my upcoming nupitals. I'm having a very intimate wedding and didn't want to spend a lot of money on the dress. I ordered a few dresses online and this one was a perfect TEN! It's very lightweight and looks more expensive than it is.
I would HIGHLY recommend the Fit and Flare Slip Style 550, it gives the dress a more dramatic look. I can't wait to wear it!

This dress is beautiful! Great value for the money and the material is stretchy and forgiving. In my opinion, this dress works best with an hourglass figure. It accentuates curves but is also slimming.
The bust will have to be taken in, as it does not lay flat like many other reviewers pointed out. But that is a very minor fix. Other than that, no alterations needed! Fits like a glove. Oh, and by the way, I went 2 sizes up from my normal jean size.

We are a B2B web company, which offers a tool for online sellers ( amazon, ebay ).
Since we got more and more free trial user, our ratio from trial to paying ( which was before near 80% ) got back to 10%. Although our application is now much better and stable, than it was in the beginnig.
The only reason i can think of, is that we had a deeper connection to our earlier users, ( we stayed with nearly everyone over this 14 days in contact. per email or telefon ) - which we are not doing anymore. Well not so deeply. We have newsletters on which we tell our users about new functions or ideas. But its not the same as in the beginnig, when we talked about their ideas to the software and how it works out for them.
It seems to me, that we should go back to this kind of interaction. But how to do? What to tell/ask them? On a personal level, ( more like a personal service, with their own person in charge and build up kind of relation ) or on an professional level. Second one woudnt be that hard, but maybe not that effectiv. And if we should do a more personal relation, how to handle this effectivly, for a lot of users at the same time and that no one got forgotten. Is there some kind of strategie on which we could go forther?
Second question, how to handle with users, whose trial expired but are still in our DB with all their settings and products. So it seems that they simple forgot us. Also they didnt deleted their account. How to handle with those. Call them? Write them? Which strategie is best in such a scenario? Users get after their trial expires an automatic email, which informs them, but that doesnt change much.
Which strategie do you have? How do you care about free trial users and what do you suggest us?

A Hatfield woman was injured Tuesday morning when the SUV she was driving rolled over after striking a tree next to Keeler Road, near its intersection with Quarry Road in Towamencin Township.
Victoria Clegg, 23, of Hatfield was driving a 1995 Chevrolet Blazer southbound on Keeler around 9:15 a.m. when she lost control of the vehicle, according to Towamencin Police Lt. Jeff Kratz.
�Preliminarily, we have an admission from the driver that she was preoccupied with a cellular phone just prior to the accident, and was in the process of placing the cellular phone down� as she lost control, Kratz said.
�The vehicle went off of the southbound shoulder edge of the roadway into a heavy ballast stone shoulder, and she was not able to regain control or get back on the roadway, and hit a tree,� he said.
The Blazer vehicle traveled a short distance after the crash, hit the tree and then rolled onto its roof, according to Kratz. The shoulder and tree were in such close proximity that Clegg could not regain control before �the crash dynamics took over,� according to Kratz.
Clegg suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to Lansdale Hospital for treatment, according to police.

In Search Of Iguassu - Buenos Aires to Rio (JBR)
Get your South American rush with other young travellers not afraid to embrace the new. You'll kick off the adventure in sophisticated Buenos Aires before getting back to nature on day hikes at a working Uruguayan ranch. Marvel at Iguassu Falls, then hop a flight to São Paulo on your way to the Brazilian coast—no gruelling bus ride means more time on the beach. We'll wrap up in the party in Rio, where you're free to embrace the carnival atmosphere from our centrally located Copacabana hotel.
Highlights: Sample the cuisine and culture of Buenos Aires, discover Uruguay's rural beauty at a working ranch, marvel at Iguassu Falls, skip the bus and gain time (and comfort!) with a flight to São Paulo, sip caipirinhas on the beach, revel in the energy of Rio de Janiero.

Best of all, we'll fly over to Iguassu Falls for more time to explore the immense cascades. With accommodation and transport arranged by a CEO, this trip offers great value and is the perfect way to discover the South America's unique vibe.

You'll get plenty of energetic cultures, the great outdoors, and the company of other young travellers to keep you moving.

Rotating Sibling Sets
I'll suggest names for three siblings, two boys and a girl, that I think go well together. The next person gets rid of the first name and adds a name for the opposite gender that could go well with the other two. The next person does the same thing to the new set.
For instance, I could write Casen, Jayda, and Tyler. The next person might post Jayda, Tyler, and Bailey. The next might post Tyler, Bailey, and Brandon. The next might post Bailey, Brandon, and Breanna. And so on.
The first sib set:
Henry, Abigail, and Theodore.

Do you hear the people sing lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light.
For the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Alright. I decided to kick off my own roleplay thread. My first thread, too. Now... I have a few simple rules...
1. No godmodding, example: "I headshot you with my magic. you're dead."
2. Character knowledge and player knowledge are two different things. You are NOT your character. You can't just know something and say your character knows it.
3. OOC or Out of Character. Make sure you tell every one WHEN you are out of character.
4. Your character can not immediately have everything and every weapon in the world. The Plasmid limit is 3. The Gene tonic limit is 4. Weapon limit is 3. You automatically start off with a service radio, unless you don't want to.
5. No Vita- Chambers...
6. I love grammar, please, please... feed me some good grammar.
7. The more plasmids and gene tonics you have, the more ugly and less charismatic your character is. Also, your character can't think straight some times, if you are heavily spliced.
8. Make sure you are descriptive about what your character is doing, nobody needs to get confused.
9. My setting is the one and only, you can't make a entire new story, unless you get my permission. What I mean by this is... say we're in Neptune Bounty, Ol' Johnny decides to make it so everybody is some how teleported to Adonis. NO!
10. This isn't really a rule, or enforced, but please help other players out by posting the time in your area. It can really help people decide whether they should post something serious immediately or later. You don't have to do this all the time, just every once in awhile!
11. This thread is constantly changing. Same with the story! Try to keep up to date.
12. Finally, characters. There can be 1 Big Sister. 3 Big Daddies. 2 special characters, like Brutes. The rest must be normal Splicers, or Humans.
13. Newest rule. Before you start playing, you must message me a parargrah stating why you want to play. This will lessen the stupidity. I'll only choose people who can spell correctly and make sense in their writings.
Alright, the story has started!. REPEAT, The story has started but you can still join!.
Creating Factions: A player can make his character start any faction. ANY. Just PM me if you want to create one.
You can now make multiple characters! Limited to two only
That's about it... don't be racial, don't swear unless it's in roleplay form. Groups CAN be made, Not big groups like the family, but small, joinable factions. Oh yeah, please post your character bio before you start playing. It's started, but you must post your bio before you start playing! Please enjoy.
I want to thank Beaten with a Rock for making the banners, and icons for factions!
My old character bio, and example:
Character Bio:
Name: Grathius Chetsliavun (Russian)
Age: 35
Sex: Male
Appearance: 5'11", Nose is irregular, since it has been broken and the bridge is now nearly pointing to his right. His eyes have a dim yellow glow to them, kind of like a Little Sister's except you can hardly notice his. He weighs about 190 pounds, he has found a way to grow foods of his own with heat lamps. He is pretty healthy from his own little farm. Of course, he is in Rapture though, so he must protect what is his, and he has gained some muscles this way. He has a few tattoos of barb wire, skulls, etc. A long, jagged scar runs across his forehead all the way to his chin, which points out a little abruptly. Splicing has taken effect on him too, he has six fingers on his left hand, his ribs have grown a little, you can see them nearly breaking his skin. Grathius has a bunny mask which has grown into his skin. It will not come off, it is an exstention of his body. His body has grown adapt to the Houdini plasmid, and is now so used to being rearranged and set back in place again, broken bones tend to some how find their way back to their original positions... though takes a bit.
Apparel: A tuxedo, Fedora, and Bunny Mask. These offer little protection but he feels stylish wearing them. He can't take the Bunny Mask off anyways, though.
Equipment: He always carries a entire sack of Eve Hypos, tied around his waist. He also has an old revolver stolen from a former Police officer, same with the gun's holster. He carries a Machete for his melee weapon. He slips it under his belt. He also has tied a Tommy Gun to his back, and slapped a good amount of bullets into a sling across his shoulder. His service radio is tied to his lower back.
Genetics: Houdini, Armored Shell 2 , EVE saver 2, Sports Boost, Metabolic EVE.
Additional Information: His slowly regenerating bones, skin, and muscle. Though this was already mentioned. He is also naturally made for teleportation it seems, when his Atoms are rearranged, even if interrupted, they some how end up back in the original spot. Metal Bunny Mask permanently attached to the skin of his face, that might protect him from some blows to the face with a hammer, or maybe, if lucky... a bullet.
History: Grathius is the son of a Russian artist. Grathius was born in Rapture, and he was set out to leave. Grathius always tried experiments with the teleportation plasmids the most, that is why his body is the way it is now. He always thought he could some how make it to the surface that way. Grathius was a fan of the Saturnine for awhile, but he grew out of that phase and went on to being an artist, like his father. He used his art to speak for Ryan, to fight against the rebel Atlas! Ryan had a talk with Grathius once, a deal Grathius couldn't refuse. He was to become a warrior, in Ryan's army! Grathius did so, and continued to paint for Ryan, too. After the Civil war, Grathius stuck around Ryan's general area, feeling safe. He hid when Jack took Ryan down though. When Lamb came along... he was shy at first, since he was a follower of Ryan, but he needed some place better. So he joined Lamb, and eventually came to her beliefs. He is one of those Splicers that draw and paint all over Rapture.

Greeley's Iconic Foods; Brian's Top 5 | K99 – Colorado's Best AND MOST Country
Every town has them. Those foods you can only get at that one place in town. The kind of foods you take people who visit out to try. The kind of foods that you miss and crave when you move away cause no where else on the globe will you find them. You won't find them in chain restaurants. Greeley is loaded with such places. I decided to put together a list of the top 5 in town that I know I would miss horribly if I ever moved away.
