We enjoyed our stay very much. Very good location. We were in the Tower Building on the 4th Floor and had a very nice view of the gulf. Rooms were clean and had a nice balcony. Pool was nice. Location is right on the beach. Staff was all very nice to us. Self-park was easy and free but I can see it being pretty tough in season. Food was all very good, just pricey.
I am a golfer and the course had nice bones but the fairways and greens were rough -- like 20 different kinds of weeds mixed with grass. Prices for some of the food at poolside and in the little food shop were pretty steep - I guess it is on the beach. Only issue with room was the grout on the bathroom tiles needed to be re-done -- it was a bit nasty.

The location was central to many of the activities that my family had planned.
There was a roach problem with the first room; however, the staff corrected the problem.The first night a roach greeted us at the door. I immediately went to the management. They upgraded our room and apologized for the inconvenience. Originally, we had a 3 night stay; however, extended our stay for an additional 4 nights because of the excellent customer service. During our week stay, I can honestly say that other than the first night's room, we saw no other roaches or pests. Additionally, their quick response to the roach greeting us at the door, truly, impressed us because we did not have to sleep in a roach/pest infested room and we were resituated in bug/pest free room within 15 minutes. For us, what made the difference was the quality of the customer service. The staff was courteous, friendly, and helpful. Most importantly, they took ownership for any problems, ...

"I would probably say my blog is a fashion blog. You might think it's just a normal and common blog that talks about fashion, but I would say I am different than others because I have my own style. I post up pictures of the outfit that I wore for the day and I describe a bit about how I put these few pieces together and I share it out. Moreover, I like to share the current trend, my current obsession as well as my favorite fashion icons who never fail to inspire the people who love fashion a lot. "
April Cole Studio

A place where inspiration dwells and creativity comes alive! A place to fill your life with color. :] I challenge others to have the courage to draw outside the lines … and just make art. "
"I started Globicate because I wanted to focus on issues, ideas, lessons, and teaching that embraces global concepts. I believe our students' world is completely different than the one we grew up in, and in order to meet their needs, we as teachers need to change how we educate them. This also includes environmental and cultural awareness.
I believe that we need to educate not only ourselves, but our students and children about the Earth and about global issues that affect all of us on a daily basis. I also believe that we have a responsibility to embrace global teaching and connections."
LadyD Books
"My blogging adventure started after becoming a grandma as a way to share my grand-parenting adventures and has quickly grown into a personal blog featuring children's book reviews and giveaways.

"Hi. My name is Jessica and I am the writer and photographer behind the blog, Domestology. Though I usually end up posting about food each week, I love anything and everything to do with the home, domestic life, and its meaning and influence on American culture. From books to homemade cleaning products to old cookbooks and recipes, I love to look at the home today using the past as a reference and learning tool. I am also an artist working primarily with embroidery, and much of that work shows up on the blog."
Country Mouse in the City
"Country Mouse in the City is where I blog all about my adventures and frolics as a woman and teacher in London, England. I'm a writer, a singer, a long-walks-in-the-park-er, an avid reader, a Christian, a Joinee, a Junior League-er, a country girl far from the hills and fields of home, and a very silly person! I love to laugh, spend time with my friends, sing along to my iPod and pretend I'm in a music video, bake, volunteer, wear pyjamas, write letters and nap. "

Vintage in a Modern World
"Vintage in a Modern World is a vintage-inspired fashion and lifestyle blog. I love the 1880s through the 1960s (with particular emphasis on the 1920s). As a full-time university student, I have a small budget and pride myself on creating an affordable vintage look by combining real vintage with me-made pieces. I also post hairstyle tutorials for achieving 1920s hairstyles with long hair, as well as inspiration images from (really) old magazines."

By AMANDA BEAM
Local columnist
As a child, nuns and priests fascinated me. I loved their clothes and the fact they didn't marry. And when you saw one on the street and grinned, they almost always smiled back.
Last month, all these thoughts came to mind after I read about a homily delivered by Pope Francis. In it he said, "The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone!"
Later in the same lesson, he would continue to espouse the belief in a common goodness among people of all faiths, even those without religion. I loved this lesson and wanted to hear more.
In retrospect, I never really was exposed to the Pope or his teachings growing up. Southern Baptist girls rarely heard very much about Catholicism, at least not in my family. That was, unless a relative married someone of the Roman faith. Then, in low voices fit for a confessional, our lady kinfolk would gossip about the tragedy of the situation and the likelihood the union was headed toward destruction, or at the very least, a lifetime of hell.
Those people pray to Mary, you know.
But the thing was, I didn't know. Ignorance breeds ignorance. Small towns at the time didn't necessarily have the greatest record of interfaith dialogue. And my Catholic friends never really discussed the sacraments of their faith. Scratch-n-sniff stickers and new Michael Jackson albums clearly took precedence over saints during those early years.
If you had asked me, the Catholic faith couldn't have been so bad. Heck, girls even got to wear those pretty white veils on special occasions. Photos like these began to appear on mantel tops of my elementary school friends. The kids resembled little brides, their patent leather shoes reflecting the smiles on their faces. Money and cake were their rewards for drinking some grape juice.
Considering my church dunked your head in a tub of water for the same communal opportunity, I was slightly jealous.
Still, whispers about the Catholic faith were heard. Stories emerged that sounded like something from a Grimm fairy tale. In the hands of the uneducated outsider, Catholic ritual was transformed into a nighttime campfire story. Turning bread into Jesus's flesh sounded like cannibalism to a kid. Let's not forget the whole transubstantiating wine into blood then drinking it. By third grade I was certain a coven of vampires existed in the community, mutant ones that actually manufactured crosses and holy water without getting hurt.
Of course, the closest I'd come to attending a Catholic ceremony was when my mother and I mistakenly wandered into Mass one Saturday evening while looking for a yard sale. Heat had been climbing that day, and so we wore shorts and tanks just right for the weather. Church, on the other hand, probably not. If any parishioners looked up that day, they would have likened us to a different kind of Madonna; the one who wore a white negligée wedding gown while rubbing her body across the MTV stage.
Mother began to ask greeters around the lobby about the obviously nonexistent yard sale so I decided to sneak a peek at what was lying beyond the double doors. Followers were kneeling on some small wooden benches in the sanctuary as a man in robes read something from a book and made strange gestures with his hands, like the type you might make if a bug was bothering you something fierce. At first inspection, no fangs or blood were visible, a welcome relief.
Breaking the spell, my lost mom touched my arm, a signal for us to go. As we left, I wanted more than anything to be able to see what other mysteries I could uncover in this unknown faith, albeit hopefully next time I'd be wearing some longer pants.
Ten years later I got my chance. A state drama conference in an unremarkable Indiana town emerged and my classmates and I decided to attend. For the last day of the festivities, the hotel had scheduled a Mass for anyone who wanted to go. This time around I decided to tag along.
Ok, I didn't only attend, I fully participated. I even took communion. Wasn't that interfaith cooperation at its finest? Not really. Problem is that I had never been baptized, not to mention I didn't truly understand the Eucharist. Both are big no no's I would come to find out. Who knew?
Yet in that transgression, I gained a greater understanding. God gave us different languages, but communication between cultures still exists. Fundamentally we all are the same. Religion, no matter which kind, doesn't change that.
With the homily recently given by Pope Francis, somehow I think he might agree. Even when a subsequent Vatican press release would go on to say the "there" in his message wasn't meant as heaven, but instead the common ground of goodness, progress has been made. Hopefully more and more religions and denominations will take this welcoming approach and continue the call for a peaceful coexistence.
Regardless, I'm once again in awe of a priest. This time around though, I understand why.

David Frum Dismissed from Conservative Think Tank for Too Much Thinking Inside the Tank
They know it was you, David…
Conservative columnist David Frum has been perhaps the most pessimistic seers of things to come, calling [health care reform] the GOP's Waterloo in a much-linked about response.
You broke their hearts…
Frum posted on his blog yesterday that he'd been booted from his perch at the American Enterprise Institute, the conservative think tank where he's worked for years…
This morning, Frum explained to Politico that he's a casualty of the war of the rabid conservative base against its elite wise men. "The elite isn't leading anymore. It's trapped. Partly because of the desperate economic situation in the country, what were once the leading institutions of conservatism are constrained."
They don't feel they have to wipe everybody out. Just their enemies. (Which is only mostly everybody.)

Weighing the Lasting Harm of Affordable Health Care
So, now that health care reform has passed the House, and the Earth has not been swallowed by a giant space worm as was foretold by conservative shaman (yet), a lot of people are now speculating on what speculations people will be speculatively speculating upon going forward.
Conservative columnist David Frum has been perhaps the most pessimistic seers of things to come, calling it the GOP's Waterloo in a much-linked about response…
No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to re-open the "doughnut hole" and charge seniors more for prescription drugs? How many votes to re-allow insurers to rescind policies when they discover a pre-existing condition? How many votes to banish 25 year olds from their parents' insurance coverage? And even if the votes were there — would President Obama sign such a repeal?
We followed the most radical voices in the party and the movement, and they led us to abject and irreversible defeat.
Which is weird, because radicals usually lead people to extremely popular and well-understood successes. Probably why they're called "radicals."
Not all conservatives share Frum's gloomy disposition about the bill's passage. Other have a totally different gloomy disposition, one about people's ability to put two-and-two together…
Republican leaders dismissed any suggestion that the bill would hurt the party over the long term.
"Someone at Harvard or in San Francisco might think that, but not the rest of the country," said Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee.
Sen. Alexander is probably right. With all due respect to Mr. Frum, you'd really have to be an east coast, socialist, atheist, academic egghead or a west coast, liberal, bathhouse-going-to, homosexual pervert to see through the Republicans' brilliant plan of saying 'no' to everything. Real Americans would never catch on to that game plan.

Q: On What Issue Do Democrats and Rush Limbaugh See Eye to Eye?
A: On whether or not Rush Limbaugh should be considered "the voice and the intellectual force and energy behind the Republican party."
David Frum, however, does not agree. In fact, he has a whole nuther take on Rush Limbaugh's Earth-moving speech from CPAC than you're likely to see many places elsewhere. He sees its orator as..
A man who is aggressive and bombastic, cutting and sarcastic, who dismisses the concerned citizens in network news focus groups as "losers." With his private plane and his cigars, his history of drug dependency and his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history, Rush is a walking stereotype of self-indulgence — exactly the image that Barack Obama most wants to affix to our philosophy and our party.
And we're cooperating! Those images of crowds of CPACers cheering Rush's every rancorous word — we'll be seeing them rebroadcast for a long time…
But do the rest of us understand what we are doing to ourselves by accepting this leadership? Rush is to the Republicanism of the 2000s what Jesse Jackson was to the Democratic party in the 1980s.
Now that's just mean. Come on, David Frum, show some couth…
He plays an important role in our coalition, and of course he and his supporters have to be treated with respect.
That's better. I mean, you don't want Rush bad-mouthing you for three-seconds on his show tomorrow and therefore sending his mouth-foaming minions upon you.
I do have to say, it feels really nice having Limbaugh doing all his damage on the other side of the fence. At least for a little while.

About Hocca Bar:
Hocca Bar at Mercado Municipal, in São Paulo, is one of those local traditions you try hard to experience, no matter how long you need to wait in line to savor their prized offerings.
The codfish turnover (pastel de bacalhau) and the mortadella sandwich at Hocca Bar have won founder Horácio Gabriel the José de Anchieta medal, an honor which acknowledges the fact that he contributed two delicious symbols to São Paulo's cultural heritage.
That's why you may want to join the local crowds and risk not finding a place to sit as you sample these classics. I don't mind standing up for them, especially when I can still feast my eyes on Mercado Municipal stained glass panels by Conrado Sorgenicht.
Order like at a fast food place (not so fast here). Get in line; browse a long menu (in Portuguese, with photos) from a lady who will try to speed up your order slip so you don't hold the line at the register. Keep track of the number on your receipt on an electronic panel, grab your order and sit in the food plaza. Sit where? Maybe at a table a friend has saved.
The Snacks:
The codfish turnover is at the heart of Hocca Bar history. In 1952 Portuguese immigrants Horácio Gabriel and wife Maria de Deus Ferreira opened their bar at Mercado Municipal and started making a codfish pastry according to a family recipe.
Huge and packed with shredded codfish, the Hocca Bar pastel is not the cheapest in town (over $5, much more expensive than street market pastel, for example). But it's worth every bite (and codfish is not cheap in Brazil either).
The also famous mortadella sandwich is a half-pounder made with Ceratti mortadella, another historic brand.
Hocca has many other sandwiches - which they call lanches, or snacks. Picanha (tri-tip) is an example. They serve shrimp pastel, bolinho de bacalhau (codfish croquettes) and tons more options.
I would love to review some of them for you. But so far, I've never made it past the bulky and decadently scrumptious pastel de bacalhau.

African Art Newletter: Challenges
Dear $email,
The main questions I receive into my mail box are about the valuation and authentication of African Art objects that people have in there homes. Also many starting collectors ask me how to acquie the expertise. The easiest way is to start a small thematic collection and try to visit as many museum collections as possible to set your standards. It is also importantto try to document your objects, since otherwise important informations can be lost.
I must say most of these objects proposed to me are usually just made for decoration, and it become more and more rare to find objects that where brought back at the turn of the XXth century. Unless you have objects that you know where collected before WWII by your grand father or far family, the chances are big it is not something special. Even around 1970 most of the objects coming out of Africa where made for decoration, and many missions where known to produce "copies" in workshops .
An interesting exhibition is in Liège this summer with objects collected by a doctor in Congo before 1929:
http://artafricain.info/leopoldville-liege-liege-kinshasa-les-collections-africaines-de-l-19 this exhibition is worth visiting if you can make it to Belgium before september 20,2012. These objects where brought back by Charles Firket a doctor that went there in the early XXth century when Leopold II decided to make Congo a Belgian colony.
You can see some objects of this collection in the following 2 pdf documents :

Place du 20-Août, 7. 4000 Liège
Also in Belgium, there is an interesting exhibition with some objects coming from the Tervueren Musuem on view in the Royal Palace, this exhibition is about technology, but some very nice and old objects are on view there.

Copped from Boing boing... Naijajams is a terrific musicblog maintained by a group of "like-minded Nigerians who share a common interest in Nigerian music."
It's not a commercial venture, just a labor of love -- and there's a lot to love. Great posts on contemporary afropop, juju, reggae, all things Fela, and vintage highlife, including this wonderful item about Ghanaian bandleader E.T. Mensah, known as the King of Highlife throughout English-speaking Africa some fifty years ago.
"If you were out dancing in Lagos or Accra in the 1950s and early 60s, highlife music is what the band was most likely playing," reads this post, "It was a music of the times – it reflected the optimism and hope individuals had in a the early days of self rule. You can hear this in the light-hearted themes and uplifting sounds."
When you listen to this MP3 of E.T. Mensah and his Tempos Band doing their midcentury hit, "All For You," it's hard not to feel a little more upbeat than before you clicked.

Red hot or not
The new Jurassic 5 single is out in our shops, damn fine tune called Red Hot, featuring a collaboration with killer funk band the Dap Kings, taken from J5's forthcoming album. Unfortunately, not all the collaborations on the new disc are likely to be this good...
"The upcoming Jurassic 5 album will have a duet with Dave Matthews. In the blogging world I believe the tired ol' phrase is "jumped the shark." It has never been more fitting. Congrats on losing those last two strands of street cred, J5, and good luck playing catch up with the Black Eyed Peas." via Coolfer.

RIP Willie Hutch
"Veteran singer-songwriter-producer Willie Hutch, who helped compose several hits for the Jackson 5, died Tuesday of undisclosed causes in Dallas. He was 59.
Best known for his work at Motown, his association with the label began in 1970 when record producer Hal Davis asked Hutch to help complete a song for the Jackson 5. "I'll Be There" became a hit for the group as did Hutch's subsequent collaborations with the quintet: "Got to Be There" and "Never Can Say Goodbye."
Hired to work regularly with other Motown artists by label founder Berry Gordy, Hutch logged production credits on albums by the Miracles, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, among others.
Branching into soundtracks, Hutch penned the music for the 1973 blaxploitation movie "The Mack." The critically acclaimed soundtrack spun off two of Hutch's biggest R&B hits, "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" and "Slick." More here.

Jurors in Brown County are deliberating whether a former priest molested a ten-year-old boy at a Catholic school in Green Bay more than 15 years ago.
27-year-old David Schauer says he was sexually assaulted by Donald Buzanowski back in 1988 when Schauer was a fifth grader at a local Catholic school.
The defense attorney says because Schauer used marijuana in high school and had a brain tumor operation, his memory may be flawed. The prosecution says that's not the case.

You'll find a complete pictorial tutorial of the heart-shaped felted kitchen oven mitts, on the Liz's Felt Café blog. These mitts are not only a practical Valentine gift, but can be dressed up after their wet felted the with some needle felted embellishments. I could use a pair of these in my kitchen with my stainless steel handled pans that I am always burning my hands on when I use them in the oven and take them out using pot holders and them place them on the stove top and forget they are hot. Follow the links and check out this tutorial and the entire Felt Café blog. Liz has some very interesting projects on her site and also has a shop on ETSY!
Liz's tells about her blog.
The Felt cafe is the name of my wee felt business, where you can find hand felted wearables and functional objects, hand dyed and handspun yarn, and how to make felt kits. in 2006-2008, I was in Kobe, Japan, and the blog archives from that time are full of crafty explorations in Japan.

Excuse me while I get political, I mean pit bull. Having pits as pets divides the nation almost as much as this months presidential election; most people have a strong opinion one way or the other. There's a wealth of knowledge on the Internet yet depending what site you visit, you're not guaranteed accurate information.
I love pits and as most of you know, I'm a self-proclaimed pittie advocate. I've visited sites of those against pits and they make me nervous. They make me very nervous; nervous because of how powerful the written word is and how an article filled with 'facts' can sway a person so quickly.
While my kids are sound asleep and cuddling our dogs, one of which is a pit, I see the news stories about pit bull attacks. While my kids are dressing our pit into a fairy princess in the morning, I read about pit bull attacks in the paper. Pit bull attack stories sell, that's why the media jumps on them. Whether or not you are a pit lover or you are scared of pits, the headline grabs you and stops you in your tracks.
Disturbingly enough, the most recent article I have read is hitting close to home, around 8 miles from home. What's most disturbing is from what I take from the article 'Wilmette residents sue neighbors who own pit bull' is that not much of anything is based on fact, except the actual lawsuit. I'm not a dog behaviorist, however, I'm fairly certain dogs don't go out 'hunting' other dogs. Nor am I a lawyer, however I'm fairly certain much of this lawsuit is based on four families that are trying to sue someone over their own fears. Imagine if we all had lawsuits against our neighbors over things we feared in our minds. Things that haven't happened yet but hypothetically could happen. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
I can't imagine waking up one morning to find out someone was not only against the dogs I chose to keep in my own house but also took the time to recruit neighbors and contact the media with a hot selling pit story.
I'm assuming while those four families listed in the lawsuit have huddled together to make a big deal of something they fear in their own minds; there is a group of pit lovers, advocates, guardians, etc. that will also come together to support this family that is being 'bullied' by their neighbors.
Can't we work things out with our neighbors without getting the court system and the community involved? Can't we all just get along?

In case you can't tell which foods at Wal-Mart are healthful, the world's largest retailer will make it obvious right on the package with a Great For You label.
Wal-Mart, which now also claims to be the largest food seller in the country, will slap the green icon on the front of whatever in-house brands it deems to be nourishing. Starting this spring, those items will include Wal-Mart's Great Value tomato puree, pure canola oil, whole wheat bread and other foods that meet a certain nutrition standard.
