It's hard to see what the argument actually is. Do away with the concept of Manifestations because they're difficult to deal with in some scenarios? That misses the point. Establishing a framework for discussion up front makes sense. Enumerating the conventions for handling concepts within the framework makes sense.
That's what FRBR and RDA are doing. Throwing out some examples of complex Manifestations as if they demonstrate that FRBR and RDA are broken doesn't make sense. All they demonstrate is that some convention has to be adopted and perhaps some software developed, but what is being discussed and proposed is still fully covered by the overall framework in FRBR and RDA.
In my last posting, I wasn't so much hitting RDA or FRBR, I was answering the question you put to me: "Why would anyone need to "catalog" these? File characteristic metadata are generated on the fly, and can easily and automatically populate any database."
Then I attempted to show the problem of how to deal with "formats/manifestations" when they can be generated at the click of a button, and disappear as well. "The Imitation of Christ" example is really good since it shows new formats and obsolete ones in the Internet archive, although they still seem to be there. So, we can imagine this multiplied into the millions, e.g. HathiTrust or Google Books flicking a switch and suddenly, all the texts are in avi and mp3 and wmv and epub and open office and daisy and mobi. Each one creates millions of additional manifestations, although those manifestations may only "exist" when you click the button, kind of a print on demand except it's format creation on demand. Then those same people can decide that nobody needs, e.g. wmv and millions of those resources are gone.
This is probably happening now and is certainly well within the bounds of predictability. In this scenario, there are no theoretical problems handling everything in traditional ways, creating separate manifestations for each format of each resource, but in practical terms the workload quite literally makes this solution impossible. So, my observations were not about cataloging rules but everyday cataloging. It will make a huge difference if these formats are handled separately or not.
I don't know what the solution is, although I can imagine a few options. Obviously, there must be some cooperation with the website administrators, or lacking that, a more generic form of catalog record must be considered.

2773 N Main St, Santa Ana, CA | Directions 9270533.774440 -117.867002
Mon-Fri 11:30am-1:30pm; 5pm-2am Sat 6pm-2am
Sushi Fix here – I usually go to the Geisha House in Hollywood, but after an amazing day in Laguna I found myself out with some friends near the one in Santa Ana and was craving some amazing sushi, so decided to give this one a try. I usually don't like to change locations, but I really needed my Salmon and Cowboy roll ASAP. We decided to sit in the bar because we were just going for a small bite to eat. It was a very nice relaxed vibe as it was a Wednesday night. We were in and out and left very satisfied. The bartender was our server and he was on point are food tasted great and the drinks were very tasty. Needless to say Geisha House did not disappoint!
If you have not been, GOOO either location is a HIT!!
Great Sushi in OC! – I am glad I came in last week to check this place out. Nice decor and great sushi! I will definitely be back soon =)
Steer way clear of this dump. – Like to give places the benefit of the doubt - but five trips here confirm for certain that this place just sucks. Maybe it's all happening late in the evening with atmosphere etc. - times I'm never there - but just today we spent 25 minutes sitting at a table - with the entire place EMPTY, staff chatting and catching up, and no one came to take our order - we asked and were told they'd be right over - but no. Then to cap it off, they sat another table next to us and a waitress bounces right out - to them. We left 'cos they'd ruined our appetite. Rude, unfriendly - better sushi in almost every joint I've ever been to. Don't waste your time.
Great atmosphere - Great VIBE :) – I am really surprised about all the negative reviews about Geisha House OC. I am a big fan of the Hollywood location, so was excited when they opened one near me down in OC. Yes, I admit, the location is not necessarily my "ideal" (would prefer more Newport/CDM/Laguna, but it's worth the drive from my beachside home inland up the 55 to Santa Ana to enjoy the vibe of this place. It's really a great concept. First, the restaurant oozes red...the decor and the energy is contagious. It's not your average run-of-the-mill restaurant, where you sit and it's boring and quiet. The Geisha House is large and bustling with activity (but no so much that you cannot hear yourself - or others - talk at your table). Groovy tunes play in the background and the waitress have really unique costumes on, that go hand-in-hand with the geisha theme. There are many seating options...on the large outdoor patio (nice in the summer months), or inside, or even upstairs...The bar is away from the dining area, so if you're there for just a drink, you can go mix and mingle, and be apart from the diners. From visting Geisha several times, the one thing I always notice is how friendly the waiters and waitresses are. They seem to get along well, and work in a team-like way. For example, if one is busy, then someone else will take over or help out....I like having multiple people at my beck and call while dining! We tried many of the appetizers, and I found them all to be delicious. When I get sushi, I like to sample various things, and ALWAYS ask the waiter their opinion about the rolls, and appetizers, and I find that you cannot go wrong in this case! I loved sampling the various dishes and I appreciated the great suggestions. The other amazing thing about Geisha, I found, that OTHER Sushi restaurants do NOT have, is the extensive Sake' list and Alcohol options. The Sake Menu is extensive and it was interesting to sample various kinds - both hot and cold. I loved that!! Finally, I most-recently went here on a weekend night. The owners have come up with a great concept to keep the fun happening on Fridays and Saturdays. At around 10:30, after dining has ended, the Geisha HOuse turns into a Club...it's great - they have DJ's, Dancing, Music, and it's just a great overall vibe....So if you go on Fri and Sat, and get a little buzz going, then you can stay later and dance the night away!! :) One last comment I have is about the Monday night half-priced Sushi....All you can eat, at 1/2 off on Monday....one of my fav nights to go. You can't beat that!!! :) All Hail to Geisha House!! :)
Citysearch Editorial Review – This Ashton Kutcher-backed chain (there's even one in Atlanta) offers a young, upscale spot for sushi and sake lovers in Santa Ana. Loud rock music pulses around a flowing, cavernous interior decorated with black and red lacquer, sleek leather booths, giant fashion photos and a myriad of pop art. The huge tower of fireplaces dominates the room, even against a backlit bar and half-dozen flat screens. Though the sushi prices are fairly pricey, the restaurant manages to attract an upbeat crowd willing to spend on cocktails and contemporary Japanese dishes like uni shooters, Kobe beef carpaccio, miso-glazed rock shrimp, grilled Mongolian lamb chops and over a dozen huge specialty rolls.

Minnewaukan Leaders Optimistic About Flood OutlookDespite a troublesome spring flood forecast, city leaders in Minnewaukan aren't too worried about the water this year.
By: Adam Ladwig, WDAZ
Despite a troublesome spring flood forecast, city leaders in Minnewaukan aren't too worried about the water this year.
Minnewaukan Mayor Myron Jury says the temporary dyke that was built two years ago should hold up through this flood season. He says even heavy spring runoff wouldn't be as bad as what Minnewaukan has seen in the past. The city is also moving forward with the relocation program. Eligible homeowners should receive bids for their property by the end of April, before deciding whether to move to the new Minnewaukan town site. But Jury says even those homeowners shouldn't have to worry about flood waters this year.
Jury: "I got four foot snowbanks in the back of my yard, so there's gonna be a lot of water into the lake this spring. We have our temporary dyke that should take care of most of it."
The relocation of homes in Minnewaukan isn't expected to begin until late this summer or the spring of 2014.

OK David...you have officially taken the reins from Joe for the most off-beat news stories!
Looking at their faces I think he passed gas while the photo was being taken!

Yes David, you deserve an award for best News Story thus far!
Well That Stinks!!
We will forever miss you at TCB
Tell Elvis we say HI
"You may call me me miss Corbett". That name was mentioned in the article - must be eating pineapples or something..?
"wouldn't you rather hold me than Abigail?"
all the goons I left behind, memories still linger..
I guess a suspension wasn`t really such a price to pay...I mean the alternative would have been him exploding!
I wonder how big his carbon footprint is now?!!!
Where do people find this kind of stuff?
What I really should have said was,what's the big stink about a student passing gas in school?
The One and Only King of Rock'n'Roll.
True story.....my hubs teaches and coaches. There was a boy at our school that was suspended for one day of school last month. The teacher had told him to quit talking and get back to work, so the boy stood up by his desk, bent over so that his rear was facing the teacher, and let one rip.
Of course the parents were at school the next day raising hell because their son was suspended for a day. They said their son "was just having a little fun"......and you wonder what's wrong with young people today and why they have NO respect for anyone.
You can be sure that the story is more like the story you just told Rosanne. We only hear the parents side. Being a teacher myself I see this sort of thing happening all the time. Make no wonder the children show no respect when they can do no wrong their parent's eyes.

Member Spotlight by Dodie Cross
Member Spotlight on: NORMANDIE SINGH REILL
"I know a little bit about a lot of things..." After interviewing Normandie, I can attest to that statement by her. She's been a very busy gal, recreating herself over and over. I called her for a quick summary of her life, and wound up with a novel.
Normandie was born in Chicago and moved with her family to San Diego when she was two years old. She attended Pomona Catholic Girls high school, where she took four years of journalism classes, and worked on the school paper, holding every position possible.
She then attended the University of Southern California where she majored in Journalism and Public Relations. Not enough action for this busy gal, she then switched to the Drama Department. Within a year, the department petitioned the university to make her a teaching assistant, and she soon became the director of PR. So as a sophomore, she had the position of a graduate student. She did playbills, box office, and advertising with newspapers. She was in almost every production while studying to be an actress.
Normandie also studied for the ministry, and became ordained in a metaphysical church in Los Angeles. In 1977, she moved back to San Diego to work with her father, a general contractor, builder and developer, where she supervised construction and sales, and ran her own business as an interior decorator.
In 1980, she traveled to India to meditate, and stayed for six months. While there she met and fell in love. She says she wore a sari and rode on the back of a scooter to her wedding. She has made two more trips back to India.
Recreating herself once more, Normandie took courses and received her CNA for nursing, doing hospice nursing, hospital work and private duty nursing for cancer patients. She injured her back, which ended her nursing career, then decided to go back to work with her father. In 2001, when he passed away, she took over as CEO of the corporation. When the real estate market slowed down in 2005, she sold all her properties and moved out to the desert.
Recreating herself once more, Normandie decided to go back to her writing days as a journalist. She volunteered at JFK Hospital in the Auxiliary Department, as chair of the PR Department creating a newsletter for them. She's also been published in the Desert Sun, and a nonprofit spiritual magazine called Know Thyself
Normandie tells me she has wanted to write a novel for over ten years and finally is working toward that goal. She's not sure how she came upon the Guild, but was so excited to find it. "I had an endorphin high the first time I attended," she said. Her first visit was in November, and she joined in January of this year. "I've signed up for novel writing classes and I'm on my way." I'm sure there's no doubt she'll have her novel out by this time next year, at the rate she's going.
As a new member, Normandie met with Diana, our VP of Membership, and has graciously volunteered to be web editor for our Guild.
"One toe at a time," she says. From what I now know about this energetic and giving lady, I'm sure she'll have both legs in very soon.

Evaluation and Management Coding (CPT) and Documentation for Psychiatrists
This program will educate participants on how to code using the CPT codes for general medical evaluation and management of patients. These codes are often the most appropriate codes to use for the care provided by a psychiatrist. The use of these codes may result in better remuneration. Medical evaluation and management is a critical part of current psychiatric practice. However, despite its prominent role in the practice of today's psychiatrists, general medical evaluation and management (E/M) codes remain an under-used resource. To date, there are few resources on the topic of E/M coding that teach the learner how to identify the appropriate E/M code and collect the necessary documentation. The documentation required for E/M codes is more complex and specific than that required by standard psychiatry codes and is explained in guidelines published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Research Literacy
This course aims to educate students and clinicians on what it means to critically appraise the scientific literature, why it is important to be able to do so, and how to appraise the scientific literature in a critical, thorough, and systematic manner. Not only will this course help students and physicians stay abreast of changes in the field and identify gaps in the literature, in a practical sense, it will enable greater access to evidence-based care and inform clinical decisions. Prior to starting the course, participants will read the article entitled "Reducing Suicidal Ideation and Depression in Older Primary Care Patients: 24-Month Outcomes of the PROSPECT Study" by Alexopoulos, et al. (2009).

Whether he's sorry for doping or for getting caught (or both), I'm sure Schwazer is kicking himself for being so stupid. But he has only himself to blame.
I feel very bad for Carolina, after such a great season she should have been enjoying herself, but now she will have to deal with this instead - she's already being mentioned as his girlfriend in the media coverage, and I'm guessing there will be speculation about what she knew and when. I'm going to assume she didn't do anything wrong, and I hope this will not have any adverse effect on her career.

Just as spectators flock to a NASCAR race because of its inherent danger, bull riding possesses a blood-and-guts excitement that sells tickets. In Fried Twinkies, Buckle Bunnies, and Bull Riders, award-winning sports journalist Josh Peter takes readers along on the 2004 Professional Bull Riders (PBR) tour to witness the sport's exploding popularity--and discover why athletes in spurs, cowboy hats, and colorful chaps are hooking millions of fans across the country.
The 2004 season begins like all PBR seasons, with 800 cowboys competing for a chance to be in the top 45 who ride in 29 major events during the season, with the best of the best taking home a $1 million bonus. Success is measured in seconds--managing to stay on a bull for 8 seconds without getting tossed is likely to secure a rider a big score. Most riders fail. Many get seriously injured; some die. Josh Peter captures the high drama of the sport and introduces readers to a culture that's rife with colorful characters: the courageous riders chasing their dreams, the scouts, breeders, love-struck groupies, and a few of those very angry bulls.

Will the new slate of elected officials make a difference?
Change isn't always for the better
So for that price and the benefits derived, we are now manufacturing 350+ hp truck engines that produce exhaust that is cleaner than the ambient air in many major U.S. cities. I don't disagree that exhaust from trucks looked and smelled really bad every time they pulled away from a dead stop. It really needed to be cleaned up, and with our having the best technical resources in the world, we accomplished that.
At the same time, however, the economy tanked, bank lending dried up, freight slowed down, etc. The result: we now have finally sold as many new trucks as we did in 2006, but it took four years to do it. Point being, regulating something as extensive as truck engine exhaust had a series of unintended consequences.
We are now facing new regulations on mandated carbon output and heavy truck fuel economy. The laws passed a few years ago are now kicking in.
Patterns tend to repeat and we will see a push-back from the new vehicle purchasers on vehicles being developed to meet these new standards. I suppose that is good news for anyone that likes to keep equipment for extended periods of time, particularly the people responsible for the repair of those vehicles.
As we go forward into the next chapter of divided government and look forward to more change, it is important to remember that we are the ones responsible for those people in D.C. that love to micro-manage our industry. They work for us.
We want the environment to be clean and we want to do whatever we can to reduce fuel consumption. It just seems to me that those are issues better solved by the business people running our various elements of this great industry.
As an avowed free-marketer, I look forward to watching how effectively the next class of elected officials has listened to the voices of the people.

original fit. When you've got a lovely jumper like Uniqlo's stripy nautical knit (reduced to £14.99) you want it to last as long as you can. With that in mind we've decided to show you how to fold a jumper.
After the jump, There's a text summary of how
to fold a jumper and a Harold Bishop look-a-like

Drawing from his decades-long involvement in this tradition and his work in the field of bioenergetics, Smith explains how the energy body shapes our perceptions, determines our state of consciousness, and forms our reality from the infinite possibilities presented by our thoughts, feelings, and those around us. Illustrating our energetic anatomy and its connections to the nervous system, chakras, and meridians, he provides step-by-step exercises to awaken the energy body, expand awareness, and begin consciously creating your own reality.

I Lub You Berry Much.
Sunshine. Cool breeze. Blueberry Farm.
The task we set was simple. Pick a few fresh blueberries to eat and to freeze. I'm pretty sure she ate two for every one we actually took home, but isn't that why you pick them in the first place? The only thing she could manage to say was, "I lub bueberries! I lub dem!"
We're heading back to the farm this week to pick more. I love nothing more than to spend a day outside with a task, a packed lunch and wide open spaces. Now that makes for a great summer day.
To blueberries and summertime!
We visited Blue Sky Berry Farm in Wanatah. There's a great coupon for Blue Sky Berry Farm located in the Northwest Indiana Times here. For more U-Pick farms in Northwest Indiana, visit this list at PickYourOwn.org

E+J Bedroom Redo Update
Our bedroom is slowly coming along. We installed gray-blue curtains nearly the same color as the "Heavy Goose" walls (and no, they don't always look crazy like that — just were pinned back behind the door handles to let in some light for the photo shoot earlier this week). The curtains are from Ikea.
Today I ordered a gray chevron rug and zig zag pillow shams from Urban Outfitters. I realize that at some point I will tire of chevrons, but I think a $100 price tag for both zig zag-a-riffic pieces is keeping it under control.
Sidenote: did you know that Urban Outfitters has free albums and streaming music? Nice. I'm listening now (Phoenix … excellent). Thanks, UO!

Thursday Friday 'Chanel' Tote Bags
Tote-bag company Thursday Friday gained quite a bit of infamy earlier this year when news of its "Hermes" bags went viral, publicity which eventually led to a successful cease and desist by the real Hermes. While at Project in Las Vegas last week, we stopped by the company's booth (which was buzzing) to spy the newest copy, the incredibly iconic quilted Chanel bag.
[UPDATE: I've had an interesting exchange of emails with creative director, Roni Brunn, at T/F and need to correct an inaccuracy. While Hermes did sue T/F there was no "cease and desist" by any judge, the two companies settled out of court.]
Personally I'm not sure how I feel about this product. One thing I've always hated about fashion is how little can be protected from the knock-off artists, essentially forcing young creatives who live and die by their ideas to focus solely on staying one step ahead of the vampires. That being said, Hermes and Chanel are no innocents, yet still, I could see where they would be motivated to squash a blatent copy of an item that a large part of their image not to mention revenues is based upon.
There is an interview with Thursday Friday's creative director, Roni Brunn, at Glamour today and she compares the bags to pop art, a la Andy Warhol and Campbell soup cans. And sorry, but not quite–one is art the other is clearly commerce. I'm sure if Brunn made a painting featuring a Hermes or Chanel bag that landed in MOMA, they would be fine with it. And 'sides, if she really believed that then why did the company choose to leave out Chanel's famous interlocking Cs logo from the bags?
But then there's that feral side to me that's like, eff it, yeah, brands like Chanel and Hermes deserve this because on its face the whole idea of "luxury" is deserving of mockery and takedown. Just don't pretend your doing something noble and artisitc when you're not.
More "Chanel" bags on the flip.

Now that trick-or-treating is finally over in Weston, there's no better topic to turn to than the candy.
I inherited a sweet tooth from both my grandmothers. Nana always had a white porcelain candy jar in her hutch, and a glass bowl on the coffee table, hiding treats like mini Reese's cups or dark chocolates. Grandma loved hard candies — suckers — but also had a tin of Snickers, Milky Way and other chocolate treats on hand.
So today I thank both of them for my love of candy!
As a kid, trick or treating was exciting and fun, but perhaps the best part was getting home after and sitting at the kitchen table with my sister to sort and count our bounty. There were trades made, raisins given to my mom and tins stacked with mini candy bars to be rationed out over the coming weeks.
It's hard to pick just five favorite Halloween trick or treat staples, but here goes:
- M&Ms: Always a favorite of mine. I love peanut M&Ms, but due to their size, there are fewer than in a fun sized pack of plain M&Ms. But I've never seen an M&M I don't like, especially with all the fun flavors now made.
- Candy corn: I like biting off each colored layer, starting with the white tip, and making my way down the kernel. The candy corns that end with a chocolate layer are wonderful, and I'm also quite fond of the pumpkins.
- Snickers: A classic. Chocolate, nougat, peanuts, caramel. What's not to love?
- Crunch: I wasn't always a fan of these when I was younger, but came around to the delicious chocolate and crisp rice combo later in life.
- Charleston Chew: These were a staple of my Halloween bags of yore. Chewy and elastic provided for a fun eating experience. And frozen Charleston Chews are a pleasant treat as well.
I still need to hit the store to buy candy to hand out. Bought any earlier in the week or month, Halloween candy would stand no chance of making it to Oct. 31. There's still a chance it won't make it to 6 p.m. If you're still needing to pick up candy, I bet Sudbury Farms or Shaws still has a supply left.
I know there are many other candies I left off the list. Tell me, what's your favorite Halloween candy? What are you hoping to rob from your kid's stash? And kids, what do you hope your neighbors are handing out?

Kwalitee Fails
Core metrics
Excellent. This distribution passes all the core metrics.
Extra metrics
These fails affect your total Kwalitee score, but don't affect the one for the Game. Some of them should be fixed by all means. Others are just matters of taste.
|metayml declares perl version
This distribution does not declare the minimum perl version in META.yml.
If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs.
|no stdin for prompting
This distribution is using direct call from STDIN instead of prompt(). Make sure STDIN is not used in Makefile.PL or Build.PL. See http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?cpan_packaging
Use the prompt() method from ExtUtils::MakeMaker/Module::Build.
Experimental metrics
These fails are not serious and don't affect your Kwalitee scores at all.
|metayml has provides
This distribution does not have a list of provided modules defined in META.yml.
Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build does this automatically for you.
|has separate license file
This distribution does not have a LICENSE or LICENCE file in its root directory.
This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later.
|easily repackageable by debian
It is easy to repackage this module by Debian.
Fix each one of the metrics this depends on.

makes doing anything impossible. is incomaptible with my school and what they allow to upload. if u wanna upgrade you MAC it cost just as much as a new notebook from dell, that comes with all the programing you need
so many cool items.. i even almost bought something went to check out and they did not have a dollar converter I dont read french so i didnt know where to place an address
everything is high end and over priced. the Uggs are cheaper at Norstroms.
If your under a size 8... you cant shop here. and its a shame the prices are very affordable
They have very nice things but since they dont have an english option, makes it hard to know what your buying and how much. american consumers would jump on that if they could read what it was.
I use this search engine for everything, from maps to homework topics, to shopping. it makes my life easier
They need to upgrade the MAC version. I feel the PC version has better programing. Ex. on a PC you can snap pics of the people you chat with while on the MAC version u dont even have that option
I ordered something 8 days ago. U pay 27.99 for second day air. when its really not second day air. They came up with bullshit answers like did u read the policy. it says u must allow two days to process and 2 days to ship. and then its 2 day air to get to you. All they do is give you the run around. I was on hole for over an HOUR. and no one picked up. its a shame. i really enjoyed this website. when someone finally does talk to you they speak to you like your an idiot. im ashamed that i have recommended this site to my fellow army wives. They need to be more clear on the check out about the shipping.... it should not be called 2day air

A wondering wandering mind trapped on a planet with too many thoughtless beings. Most days I don't mind. Some days it bugs me. Other days it drives me mad.
For fun I spend time following thought trails like this:
And trying to untangle all my thoughts about things like this:
I'm insatiably curious about human nature.
I am a self-contained think-tank looking for other self-contained think-tanks.
I also participate in a flash mob, play tennis, do animal rescue and collect pretty rocks found in high up places to which I hike.
How about you?

Westchester County was once famous for its Republicanism and old money – money that bought huge parcels of land and big stone houses on hilltops.
Today, the attitude here is decidedly casual and laid back with traditional roots still intact. The 1939 clock tower at Sutton Corners, for instance, is wound by hand each week by the neighbors. Many of the wealthy landowners are farmers, too, tending to their land and livestock in dirty dungarees.
Old money still lives on, though. Francis Kellogg still lives in his family's 18th Century house at Mill Pond, and Robert F. Kennedy lives there with his family, tending to the region's pollution control and water sanitation regulations.
Martha, who adores new projects, snapped up Cantitoe Farm when it went up for sale and she immediately wrote a mission statement for the property, a manifesto of dreams, as it were, outlining all of her desires and plans for what she hopes will be her main residence from now on.
Borrowing design and homestead philosophies from the Shaker communities in New York and Maine, Martha envisioned a farm of unparalleled practicality and style. "I want to have a new kind of house, a smart house," she told Vanity Fair last year. "This is going to be the future. That's what I'm trying to do here."
Outdoors, she has had four miles of carriage roadways built on the property and she imported 100-year-old white cedar paddock fencing from Canada to create grazing paddocks for her five Friesen horses, also from Canada. Courtyards on the property are paved with cobblestones that once lined the streets of Elizabeth, New Jersey (Martha's home state) and were originally used as ballast on old wooden cargo ships.
There are more than 45,000 daffodil bulbs planted along the rock walls that line the property (45 different varieties) and nearly 3000 new trees have been planted since her arrival, including a hedge of Korean lilacs. There is a peony garden boasting 200 different plants and a 'boxwood room' next to the Summer House.
The entrance to the stables.
The stone used to build the stables was quarried in Vermont.

The pool was suddenly shut down because of an unknown issue. I have 2 children and the pool was one of the main reasons we picked this location. I expressed my disappointment and the hotel didn't seem to care.The rooms were okay but the bathroom was VERY small. I did not like that. The staff was pleasant but when we voiced our disappointment at some of the features (especially the pool being shut down), they simply shrugged their shoulders. I feel they should have offered some sort of complimentary stay or discount. The pool was a high priority for us. We had to walk outside to get to the building where the pool and common area was. In the summer, I'm sure that's not a big deal. In the winter, it was very inconvenient. There was free wi-fi BUT there was a cap on the number of devices that you could have hooked up to it.

I have been with this Bank for almost 4 years now. The customer service with the reps is outstanding, they are so caring and listen to you and try to help you in every way possible. They are a cut above the rest when it comes to the numerous banks I have been to around the country. The counter service personnel really are mostly unfriendly a crew, some of them do not seem to speak English, but even if you don't you can still gracefully smile, because that job is customer service. However, there are gems in this group, some of them are friendly and smile. There are also those who don't realize that their job is customer service, they need to socialize without repercussions. Hopefully in 2014 they would all be retrained on how to smile and be helpful and speak English as well.
Although my husband and I have been with FirstMerit for about 14 years, I have been disappointed to see that they are now looking for every way possible to take advantage of their customers.
They charge overdraft fees on authorizations, even though the amount has not been actually captured by the merchant. They take charges from high to low, regardless of order, so if you are overdrawn by $20.00 with 3 transactions for $5 and one for $50, they will always take out the $50 first, leaving you a $26 fee for EACH of the other 3 charges.
Don't even think of trying to make a deposit on the same day to bring your balance up, because they hold all but $100 until the next business day. We found out the hard way when we made our FirstMerit Mortgage payment at the same time we deposited a check that would cover the payment. They had no problem cashing my check and posting it to my account the same day, but wouldn't give us the funds to cover it until the next day, leaving us with another...you guessed it...$26 overdraft charge.
Mind you, my husband and I aren't in the habit of overdrafting, but practices that stack the deck in favor of the bank are not conducive to a good business relationship.
I'm now eying other banks that care more about integrity than they do the money they can weasel out of their customers.
Fees are exhorbant, convenience is non-existent, tellers are slow and often rude. It took more than 43 minutes to get a cashiers check one day, and there're wasn't another customer in the bank! in addition, I asked a teller for a balance after making a deposit last week, the woman looked at me and said in a short tone, "well we don't normally do that but I will today". Holy cow...I asked the woman for my balance after making a deposit, i didn't ask her to try and split atoms in a laboratory!
Whatever group of Citizens Bank executives who approved or inked the sale to First Merit should be shot! A bank this size should have better service and not seem like a generic institution as it does to most people I've talked to. Try and find a good review for First Merit somewhere, a positive review from a non-employee!
I am moving my business and personal accounts and so is my son. We gave them a few months to get their act together after Citizens sold to First Merit, it hasn't happened and I don't it will.
So long Citizens Bank, you will be missed. Good ridens First Merit....terrible all the way around!
