Our second trip to Newport and first to the Almondy Inn. Put the B&B we previously stayed at to shame. Beautiful inn, outstanding hospitality and a 5 star breakfast. Well worth the extra cost. Will definitely be our go to place in Newport.

My wife and I recently stayed overnight at the Almondy Inn in downtown Newport. It exceeded out expectations. Its convenient location to Thames Street made it unnecessary to take the car to shop or enjoy restaurant week. Evelyne was welcoming and informative. Our room was outstanding with fireplace, Jacuzzi, tv and free internet. Wine and cheese in the afternoon and the delicious breakfast in the morning added to our mini vacation. We will definitely be returning for a longer stay next year.

The Almondy Inn was a beautiful and enjoyable place to stay. We enjoyed every aspect of the experience. Evelyne and Herber are such warm, and down to earth people. Conversing with them and the other couples that were also staying there was such a fun and uplifting time. Wine and cheese each evening, an unbelievable breakfast that was custom to each persons nutritional restrictions, and a suite that was downright gorgeous! What more could you ask for? Each person was tended to in a personal way, down to my sugar and carb restrictions. Evelyne made me muffins that were unbelievable, something I haven't had in about 8 years. It is an experience that you shouldn't miss! Thank you again, Evelyne and Herber....can't wait till we book again!

We stayed at the inn this past weekend. The Inn, service Location was perfect. They went out of their way to accommodate our friend's special dining restrictions and were very attentive. We were there for a belated anniversary weekend

One night at the Almondy Inn is definitely not long enough. The room begged us to kick back and relax, but we were off and running around Newport - where there is so much to do - one can't see everything even in 1 week! It was not our first visit, and now that we discovered this delightful Inn - so close to the Wharf, we will return. The Blue Bay room was spacious and had partial views of the harbor and the bridge. The large jacuzzi tub was excellent. it was a little difficult to keep water from splashing onto the bathroom floor when using the shower. The room was very clean except for the windowsills. The bed was comfortable with nice linens, although the mattress was starting to sag slightly toward the middle. It was such a lovely room with blue and gold drapes, a fireplace, and elegant touches of antiques. Herber and Evelyn were wonderful hosts.The Inn is restored with beautiful furnishings and large windows. Evelyn's breakfast of blueberry pancakes with a hint of lemon zest and vanilla were fabulous. She also presented home made cappuccino muffins with white choc. chips. The coffee was good, and strong enough- which we do not always find to be the case in R.I. We could hear music wafting up from the wharf during the Seafood Festival, and if the bar next door has loud music on Saturday nights, you may hear that as well. Otherwise, the street is nice and quiet at night. We slept well. What a joy to be able to park in their private lot and walk to nearly everything you would want to see. Parking downtown is not easy during peak seasons. The inn creates a stress free experience.

We were extremely pleased with our experience at the Almondy Inn. The room (Blue Room) was well appointed, clean and had excellent seating available. Evelyn was a wonderful host. The breakfasts were different each day, the service was excellent. Being a small B&B, the mornings were delightful. We met people from Scotland, Sweden, England and New York. The conversations were quite interesting. The Almondy is quite close to the harbor and within easy walking distance of restaurants and shops. I would recommend this to anyone, at least during the off season. During the summer, it might be somewhat louder with its proximity to the bars and harbor life. Overall, a very excellent choice!

This is an exceptional Bed and Breakfast. The location is absolutely perfect and very convenient to anything that you wish to do in Newport. There is off street parking in the back, and once we parked, we had no need to drive until we left. The property was immaculately clean. Herber and Evelyne are gracious hosts and their hospitality was outstanding. The breakfasts were delicious and there was wine and cheese in the afternoon. This is the second time that we stayed at the Almondy Inn, and we highly recommend it.

Beautiful rooms in a great location in Newport. Be aware that younger children are not allowed - we surprised the innkeepers with our kids. (It says so at the bottom of the "policies and procedures" link but we never read it). We didn't eat breakfast there but the spread looked quite impressive from what we saw.
4,8 en agosto 27, 2013
We greatly enjoyed our stay. Our hostess was very helpful, and the location is really convenient to waterfront attractions. Just a short drive to the mansions of Newport.

my husband and I enjoyed our 3 nite stay very much. even though the inn is very close to town it was quiet enough to sleep peacefully. The off street parking was a huge bonus. The owners were very friendly and we enjoyed the chance to chat with them and the other guests every nite along with complimentary wine and cheese.

B&b was overall nice but the location couldn't be beat! Breakfast was a little lacking but overall it was very nice.

My husband and I had a night getaway for our anniversary! The Almondy Inn was the perfect location! Walking distance to almost everything and the owners were so personable and nice! The wine and cheese was a great relaxation period and breakfast was beyond delicious! Cannot wait to go again!

Almondy Inn was terrific in every aspect. It is friendly, spotless and good value for money. I highly recommend it.

You honestly can't ask for more when visiting Newport. The location of Almondy was absolutely perfect for us. The owners are unbelievably friendly and warm. The rooms are very nice and very comfortable. I will stay here every time I go to Newport.
4,4 en agosto 03, 2013
What we expect at a quality B&B is a high bar. Quality service, clean and comfortable accomadations and a welcoming host. Almondy met all of those, and then some. Incredibly convenient location -- a block away from the main wharf and all the shops and a comfortable walk or short drive to the mansions and other sites and sights of beautiful Newport. Our room and bath were a little small, with a window AC but very comfortable. We would definitely return.
5 en agosto 03, 2013
Our stay at the Almondy Inn was fantastic! We stayed in the Lanai suite. It was perfect. The bed was very comfortable. We had a nice view of the water from our balcony. We looked forward to breakfast in the am it was delicious. We also really liked the wine and cheese in the afternoon. It was a nice way to meet the other guests. We would love to visit Newport and stay at the Almondy again soon.
5 en julio 31, 2013
This is the B&B to stay at! We have been staying here for years. The breakfasts are wonderful and the rooms are lovely. You will not be disappointed. It is only a short walk to the corner and you are at the wharf!

We stayed for a romantic, one night anniversary get away. The innkeeper was helpful but not intrusive. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. We loved the whirlpool tub. The best part is the location, walk out the door and you are in the heart of Newport. Rooms are pricey, but you are paying for a great location.

Cannot beat the location. The hosts were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Would recommend for location and quaint appeal.

We stayed here for two nights as part of a three week honeymoon around New England. We both had the best night sleep of our entire trip in this Inn. The room was beautiful with an amazing bed and lovely fixtures in the room. We couldn't say enough about the location, you are just set back off Thames street, so everything can be reached within a few minutes walk. The breakfasts were really nice, a two course affair, very tasty and they set us up for the rest of the day. Ivan was a really nice host, and took great care of us each day. We met the owner, Evelyn on the last day and she was such a nice lady. She made sure everything was to our liking and was extremely courteous and helpful on checkout. Housekeeping were also excellent. We left something in the room after check-out, and then came down and put it under our car wipers, whilst we'd headed back into town to buy a few odds and ends after having checked out. Room Tip: We chose the Sunset room, great bed and lovely fitting and fixtures. Bonus of partial harbor view.
4,8 en junio 15, 2013
What a fabulous bed and breakfast, beautifully decorated and finished, in a great location right next to Thames Street and the waterfront. Free Car parking off road meant we were able to wander the area and enjoy all the sights without running up expensive parking charges. The home cooked breakfasts were to die for and a sociable wine and cheese hour in the late afternoon meant a chance to chat to fellow guests. Evelyne was the perfect hostess and we would highly recommend this inn to anyone looking for a boutique hotel experience. Ceri Hill and Graham Screen, Wales UK

My boyfriend and I stayed overnight at the Almondy, and we wished our stay had been longer. The hospitality was wonderful, and we especially enjoyed the wine and cheese hour in the evening. It allowed us to get to know some other very interesting guests at the Inn. One of the best aspects of this place is the location. You're within walking distance of numerous restaurants, bars, and shops. We didn't even need to drive our car after checking in for the evening. The only very minor complaints we had were that the bed wasn't quite firm enough for our taste, and we would have appreciated a mini-fridge with more beverages than just 2 bottles of water. There was a loud bar playing live music about a block away, but we didn't really notice the sound with the windows shut. The room was clean and beautiful. The jetted bath and bedside fireplace were especially nice. We highly recommend staying here!
4,2 en junio 02, 2013
We stayed in the Sunset room, it's on the small side but very comfortable. There were a few peculiarities, like the T.V. is located in the corner to the left which makes it difficult to watch from the four-poster bed as one of the four posts is in the way. Otherwise lovely room, the bed is super comfortable and the bathroom has a great shower. What makes the inn special is Evelyne, the inn keeper, who is friendly and accommodating. Her idea of hosting a wine and cheese get together for guests every day at 5pm is inspired, this sort of attention to detail means the Almondy Inn stands out from your average hotel. Breakfast changes every day and is cooked fresh and served with fruit, tea/coffee & orange juice. What more could you ask for?

We have stayed at many B & B's - the Almondy Inn is by far the best yet. Loved it and can;t wait to return. Nancy and Pat

My wife and I had been planning a trip to the east coast and decided that Newport would be an interesting destination. Rather than the standard hotel we decided to B&B it, and after some research decided on the Almondy. It was a great choice.

The staff were very professional. The rooms were very clean , and the breakfast was excellent. We had a wonderful time.

My husband and I went for our honeymoon. The owners were away, but the gentleman taking care of the place was super nice and sweet. The location is right there by the waterfront, restuarants and shops. The place was very clean, I was a little disappointed that they didn't have drinks, tea, coffee out all the time for your convenience, all the other B&Bs I visted did this, but the store was right down the street. Also, there is a bar that you can hear their music till 2 in the morning, however, you should expect to hear some noise since your so close to everything. Overall we had a nice time.

Spent one night at the Almondy Inn. My husband and I were very happy with the location, the cleanliness of the rooms and the breakfast. The Inn is beautifully maintained, Evelyne and Herbert are very friendly and welcoming. When traveling my husband and I will usually only stay in Bed and Breakfast establishments, and we are happy to say we would certainly stay at the Almondy Inn again and we would recommend it highly. Thanks!!

My girlfriend and I were here for a weekend in April, 2013 and I was very happy with the Almondy Inn. The owners definitely take pride in their Inn and it shows. Rooms were very clean, fresh, and inviting. Breakfast was great both mornings we were there as well. The location couldn't be better - literally steps from Thames street and very easy to get to restaurants, bars, etc. We would definitely recommend/go back.
3,8 en mayo 05, 2013
We really enjoyed the hospitality provided by the owners, including sharing some life stories over complimentary wine and cheese! The location was perfect for the time of year we went (pre-season, in April), with a very short walk to Thames St. with all of the downtown shopping, food, and bars. We were still able to drive around and see all of the attractions, including beaches and mansions, within a 10 minute drive. The breakfast served was fantastic each morning, and provided a great time to mingle with the other guests. We had a wonderful stay.
4,6 en abril 29, 2013
Evelyne was a fantastic hostess. She went above and beyond to make our stay special. It was wonderful to have the wine and cheese hour to meet the other guests. I highly recommend this property. It is close to all the major attractions. We would definitely go back! Hope to see you soon, Evelyne! Cheers!

My boyfriend and I took advantage of the off season rates and spent a night at the Almondy B&B. We stayed in the Blue room. The room was beautifully decorated , the bed was extremely comfortable, and the fireplace added to the romantic atmosphere. My favorite aspect of the room was definitely the 2 person jacuzzi tub. I'm 6'2 and it was so refreshing to have access to a bathtub that was actually long enough for me. We really enjoyed the personal touches of the inn, wine and cheese at night, a warm delicious breakfast in the morning, bathrobes in the rooms. We can't wait to go back!

My wife and I spent a long weekend in Newport to celebrate our anniversary. Evelyne & Herber are wonderful hosts and clearly love what they are doing. We can't say enough great things about this B&B! The breakfast offerings were far above and beyond anything we've seen in a B&B. The wine & cheese hour was a very nice touch allowing us to meet and chat with the other guests. With only five rooms these events served to bracket the day and really make us feel at home with the other guests in the house.

Breakfast was particularly enjoyable, as food was delicious and served promptly, and the "communal table" which can be a real negative turned out to be very enjoyable. We made several new friends during our brief stay.

My wife and I stayed at the Almondy Inn during the America's Cup World Series in July, 2012. It was our first visit to Newport and we knew little about the town, but I don't think we could have found a more perfect place to stay. The location is fantastic, just steps away from the wharfs and the center of the village. The room was wonderful, the innkeepers charming, and the breakfasts were amazing. We will absolutely be returning to the Almondy Inn the next time we visit Newport. Very highly recommended.

Stayed at the Almondy Inn for two nights in September. The Inn was very close to Bowens Wharfe, which was excellent for dining options at night , as there were lots of restaurants to choose from which were only a short walk away. The Inn was beautifully appointed. Breakfasts were lovely and we were offered wine and cheese between the hours of 5- 6. Would have been nice to have coffee machines in the bedroom for early morning coffee. Staff and owners very friendly and helpful with tourist information requests. Would stay again.

We stayed at the Almondy Inn for our honey moon. The experience was fabulous. The location is great, the rooms are spacious and luxurious, the Evelyne and Herber are phenomenal hosts. The breakfast quickly became the most enjoyable part of our stay (and I am not a breakfast person). Getting to meet and talk with other guests while eating a delicious home made breakfast was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. We definitely plan on staying at the Almondy Inn again next time we visit Newport.

I stayed at the Almondy Inn for 2 nights in August and loved it. The inn is beautiful and well kept, the owners are so gracious and created a great environment. The daily breakfasts are delicious and the wine happy hour is a nice touch. The location is superb, lots of dining and shopping is just across the street and it's a short drive to the mansions and beaches. Would definitely go back!

Quaint Inn and great location. Clean and comfortable. Home made breakfast and wine and cheese in the evening. Evelyn is a perfect B&B owner.
5 en julio 27, 2012
After many hours of research of various B&B's in the Newport Area, we chose The Almondy Inn. We were not disappointed!!! We are very particular in every regard, and the Almondy Inn met and/or exceeded every expectation we had. It is meticulously clean, both inside and out. The food was abundant and delicious. The room and bathroom were spotless and more than comfortable. The inn was within walking distance to downtown (literally 2 minutes), and saved us a bundle on parking. We arrived early, and The Valkenbergs were wonderfully hospitable. Without a doubt we would come back to this Inn! My husband and I felt is was the best B&B around. The previous reviews were spot on! Can't recommend it enough!
5 en julio 15, 2012
Had a wonderful time at the Almondy Inn. Would highly recommend it. The owners, Evelyne and Herber were very warm and welcoming, made you feel like part of the family. They asked us about any dietary restrictions (vegetarian and lactose intolerant) we may have had and went above and beyond to meet them. They were able to give us many recommendations on the area (restaurants, attractions, etc) and knew the history well. The rooms were lovely and well maintained. The free parking during our stay was key as with most other hotels in the area you have to pay a fee. Overall, it was a great experience and this will definitely turn into a yearly trip.

We loved our stay at Almondy Inn. It was clean and close to all the sights. Our hostess helped us to obtain vouchers for the mansion tours, gave us a map of the city with some "insider tips" for parking and the best beaches. We'd definitely stay here again. Cheryl & John, New Jersey

Me and my husband stayed at the Almondy Inn on June 8 and June 9 to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. The location of the Inn was outstanding, just steps away from Thames Street where all the restaurants, shops and Bannister's Wharf is located. We stayed in the Blue Bay room and it was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable. We also had a jacuzzi in our bathroom, which was very relaxing after a long day of activities. The breakfasts were also very good and if you didn't like something that was being served on that day, Evelyn was happy to make something different. We would highly recommend the Almondy Inn to our family and friends and if we ever have the chance to go to Newport again we know exactly where we will stay.

We spent last weekend at Almondy Inn, and would return in a heartbeat. The Inn was conveniently located near great restaurants and shops. We were within walking distance to everything. The Inn was beautifully decorated, clean, and accommodating. The staff was available to answer questions about the area, and gave great tips about the sites. Our mansion tour voucher was giving to us upon arrival. Breakfast was served on time both days, and was delicious. Our room faced the wharfs, and was warm and inviting. We could not have asked for a better place to stay while in Newport. I would recommend the Almondy Inn to anyone planning a visit to the area!

Just spend a wonderful weekend at the Almondy Inn. Hosts are gracious, rooms are well appointed and clean, food was creative and delicious....it is the perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway. Location was ideal as well -- just a short walk into town. This B&B comes with my highest recommendation!
4,2 en septiembre 22, 2011
My husband and I have been to many B&Bs and truly enjoyed this experience. The owners were very open and friendly and we enjoyed our conversations with them. The room was beautiful and immaculate, the breakfasts left us with no room for lunch and the location can't be beat! We'll definitely be booking with them again when staying in Newport!

We have stayed at The Almondy many times. We always enjoy the company of fellow guests. Evelyne will do anything to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. Her breakfasts are exquisite. Afternoon wine and cheese in the living room is a wonderful way to meet others staying at the inn. The Inn is beautifully decorated with fresh flowers adding a touch of elegance in all the right places. We always feel warm and welcome at The Almondy.

Evelyn and Herber are the ultimate hosts; we had a great night sleep each evening and woke to a fabulouse breakfast! They have restored the house beautifully and tastefully. Almondy Inn is literally steps from Bannisters Wharf, the Newport Yacht Club marina and directly behind 3 nightclubs; but despite the close proximity to just about everything we didn't hear any noise at all once we closed our window. A very peaceful sleep in the middle of all the action. We will be back!!

Went for a couple of nights to see Newport and wanted to stay at a B&B. We were both very happy with our choice. Evelyn (innkeeper) was very gracious, more then helpful with dinner suggestions, etc. The Inn had off-street parking which was great considering how crowded it is in the historical area (and expensive to pay for a lot). Gourmet breakfast was great, and we loved the wine & cheese hour in the evening. We have already recommended to friends!

We have visited Newport in the last three years and stayed at a hotel and two B&B's. The Almondy is by far our best experience! It is a beautifully restored inn. We stayed in the Blue Bay Room. It was comfortable and exceptionally clean. The jacuzzi tub was a treat! It is evident that Evelyne and Herber take great pride in their establishment and welcome each and every guest as family. The inn is impeccable both inside and out. Ample parking is available. Evelyne knows the area very well and offers great suggestions for restaurant dining and things to do. Breakfast at the inn is superb! She is very accommodating to food allergies and can offer vegetarian options as well. We enjoyed chatting with guests during our stay at breakfast and at the end of the day at the wine and cheese hour. The inn is steps away from all the activities on the wharf area but is also very quiet and relaxing. We had a great experience and will certainly return!

My parents have been coming here for a few years, and this time my husband and I took a trip with them. Upon entering the Almondy Inn, my expectations were substantially exceeded. From the hospitable welcome at the front door, to the immaculate, spacious rooms, service, EXQUISITE breakfasts, and other "homey" touches, my husband and I had only wished we started staying here sooner! We were treated like relatives of the innkeepers, and Evelyne assisted us with our daily itineraries, never once leaving us disappointed. Our 4-night, 5-day stay was filled to the brim with activities and delicious meals at the area's superb restaurants. This establishment is run with the utmost professionalism, and the location is spot-on. With just a short walk down to the corner, Bannister's Wharf awaits you. After long afternoons, you can expect "wine and cheese hour" in the parlor and a lovely chat with Evelyne. After dinner, it was a pleasure returning to our charming rooms, but not without relaxing first, on the front porch, enjoying an ice-cream cone from the corner chocolate/ice-cream shop. We will certainly be returning to the Almondy Inn, just like some of the other repeat-guests that we met while staying there. If there is anything you ever need throughtout your stay, Evelyne and her husband Herber are always around to assist you with a smile. We were so sorry to leave!
5 en julio 17, 2011
After having stayed at The Almondy Inn several times, I must say it never disappoints. The rooms are immaculate and Evelyne's breakfasts are superb. We are treated like very dear friends as opposed to guests. We feel very at home there. Also, it is very convenient to the wharf. A very short walk. The only place we will stay in Newport is The Almondy Inn!

You could not ask for better accomodations even at the Ritz. Almondy is by far the best bed & breakfast we have ever stayed at. The location is perfect to downtown Newport, walk to everything. Can't say enough about the room, the view, quiet, the cleanliness, like new condition, and victorian charm, all with a European flare. Now, breakfast was cooked to order no buffet and by candle light at the dining room table. That's over the top. Harold & Marilyn Taylor, Plymouth MA.

We received a gift card for Bed and Breakfast.com and chose Newport as we have never been there. I researched every inn using this site and Trip Advisor and my husband and I agreed that the Almondy was perfect. The location is the best; you are a few short blocks from the wharves, the historic district and all the action, shopping and restaurants on Thames St. Evelyn is gracious and helpful and it is easy to see that she loves what she does. Her breakfasts are absolutely delicious and served elegantly. We enjoyed fresh fruits, homemade muffins and croissants, eggs florentine, etc. She serves up wine, cheese and conversation at 5pm which is a great way to meet other people or just get ideas from Evelyn. She is extremely knowledgeable about all things Newport and with so many choices it helps to narrow things down. We stayed in the Blue Bay room for two nights. The room is immaculate as is the large bathroom, which has a lovely basket of luxury toiletries. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! The guest areas of the house are just as well kept, gracious yet inviting. During our travels we did see many of the other B and B's listed and we were so glad we chose the Almondy Inn. We are already planning our return trip!

Well located for the wharfs. Very pleasant inn that is exceptionally appointed. Kingsize bed can leave little room for any luggage in room. Wine and cheese on greeting. Very pleasant

My friend and I had a wonderful stay for 1 night at the Almondy Inn. Evelyne, the innkeeper, is a gracious host and serves a delicious breakfast. She provdided the perfect balance between Newport guide and host while maintaining our privacy. Within walking distance to the main harbor, shops and restaurants. Having parking available as well was a huge convenience. We would definitely consider staying here again with our repective partners.

We had a near-perfect stay at the Almondy Inn. We stayed in the Plantation Room, which was very comfortable, if a bit overwhelmed by a large, very comfortable bed. The location is as good as it gets. Our hosts were very friendly, very helpful, and very accommodating (pun intended). Breakfast was delicious. When I declined a suggested meal, a fine alternative was cheerfully supplied. If we're ever in the area, we would certainly try to stay here again!

Evelyne & Herber Valkenberg are wonderful hosts. They are eager to please and are gracious and welcoming. Their B&B is located about two blocks away from shopping, restaurants and the waterfront. They're also only a 5 - 6 minute drive to the famous Cliff Walk. They offer offstreet parking, a quiet location, a very tasty breakfast, a nice wine and cheese hour where you can chat with them as well as their guests, and lovely amenities. If you're planning a stay in Newport you should definitely consider The Almondy Inn.

Joe and I spent two nights at the Almondy Inn in Newport during the "heat wave" (last week of August, 2010). We had the Burgundy Suite, which was fabulous - superb 4-poster bed, tons of space, and great A/C. Evelynne, the owner, is an extremely gracious, multi-lingual, cultured woman - a delightful hostess, who makes you feel completely at home. The two women who work at the Inn are lovely, charming and helpful. The full breakfast is excellent - wine and cheese in the afternoon a perfect break in a busy sight-seeing day, and an opportunity to meet and talk with other guests (when we were there they ranged from 2 couples from Connecticut, to a lovely couple from Germany who were driving through New England). The Inn is 1/2 block up Pelham Street from Bannister's Wharf - close enough to walk to restaurants - far enough to feel you are in another, quieter, more relaxed world. We will definitely stay there again if we should return to Newport, which is very likely since we didn't get a chance to see all the Mansions, etc.

5/9/09--This was the first time my husband and I stayed in a B&B. Our experience at The Almondy Inn was nothing short of spectacular. The inn is conveniently located to wharves for great shopping and good eating. Our room had a very comfortable bed. Overall, the inn is very clean and elegant. Plus, parking is free in their driveway! Evelyn is a wonderful hostess and goes out of her way to make you feel at ease! We would definitely return again.

More important, says the Rev. Joyce Giola, a North Carolina counselor, is that even seemingly harmless lies can build up and eventually cause big problems. "First you tell white lies, then you have to tell other lies to hide the first lies, which causes even more stress," Giola says.
Honesty doesn't need to be brutal, though, says Butterworth. There are ways to couch things like, "I know this might upset you," to show you're sensitive to your partner's feelings.
How to spot a lie
Mark Meadows, a sociology professor at San Diego's Union Institute, says couples can tell if their other half is fibbing by watching these signs:
Body language: Crossed arms and fidgeting can signify discomfort.
Eye contact: If you're not making eye contact, it's unlikely you're getting the whole truth.
Inconsistencies: If your partner says your pals are the best but is always busy when you've scheduled to go out together, something fishy may be going on.
Hesitation: Stuttering, stalling and changing the subject are clear signals that all is not on the up-and-up.
In this age of situational ethics and political correctness, there's something refreshing about total honesty. I found much more research, however, on why honesty is not always the best policy.
At the end of the day we all have to make our own choices. After all, we're the ones we have to live with. And we're the ones who suffer if we can't sleep at night.
Some parting comments:
"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." - Mark Twain
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave - when first we practice to deceive." - Sir Walter Scott

Baby Costume Ideas:
A Little Buggy:
- Whether your baby is a cuddly caterpillar or budding butterfly, a bug-themed costume is a fun choice. Start with a sleeper in the appropriate color for your bug of choice; often this will be black. To make a butterfly, cut wings out of felt and glue them directly to the back of the sleeper, or sew the center point of the wings to the center of the sleeper's back and let the wings flap freely. For a bee, glue yellow stripes around the baby's tummy. To make a ladybug, add a red vest or sweatshirt over the black outfit. Glue black polka dots to the red piece. Add stripes to a green sleeper using fabric paint, and glue a few felt dots onto the back for a caterpillar. Two rows of felt fringe from the baby's underarms to the top of her legs will provide extra legs for the little caterpillar
Delicious Darlings:
- Food-related costumes are perfect for babies that you just want to "eat right up." You can make a few of these costumes quite simply with a sleeper and some extra fabric pieces. The easiest baby costume in this category is a burrito. Simply sew a little "lettuce" edging around the top of a beige blanket and swaddle your little one. To make a hot dog, dress your baby in a brown sleeper for the hot dog and make a bun out of felt. Lay a rectangular piece of yellow or tan felt out flat. Fold the shorter edges in by a few inches and sew pockets. Cut an arm hole in each and sew shut. Fill the sides with a little stuffing to make the sides of the bun. Glue the flat side of the bun to the back of the hot dog sleeper and slip the arms through the arm holes
Cute Critters:
- Animal costumes can be put together with little more than a tail and appropriately shaped ears. For a cat, a headband with small triangular ears and a long thin tail are appropriate. Use tall ears for a bunny and a small puffy tail made from a large pom pom. If your baby prefers sea creatures to land animals, you can turn any sleeper into a fish costume by adding felt fins and flippers. To make an octopus, stuff six tube-shaped pieces of felt with stuffing and sew them around the middle of a sleeper like a skirt. Your baby's legs will make the last two tentacles for a total of eight
How to Wash Velvet:
- Remove light or small stains using a small washcloth. Wet the cloth slightly with warm water. Take the cloth and very gently rub the stained area using an up and down motion. Rubbing too hard can damage the nap of the fabric. Rub the area two or three times with the cloth then take a paper towel and dab the fabric to remove the water
- Continue dabbing the fabric until you have removed all the water from the material. The stain should be removed. If not, repeat step number one but rub the area continuously until you no longer see the stain. If the stain is still present take the garment to your dry cleaner
- Take the garment to the dry cleaner for larger or stuck on stains. Stains are hard to remove from velvet and your dry cleaner is better equipped to handle these types of stains
Tips & Warnings:
- Use an infant's washcloth as it is specially designed and works the best on velvet
- Do not wash your velvet. Washing velvet can result in damage to the fabric and nap of the material
Package Included:
- 1 x Velvet Double Cloak Halloween Costume

There is no doubt; babies look too adorable no matter what they are wearing. But seeing a baby in a baby costume can melt anyone's heart. If you are planning to dress yourself according to Halloween theme party then why make your child dress like normal day...

Measles are caused by a virus. The virus takes about 11 days to develop.
If you think your child may have the measles, take him to your health care provider.
This is an unusual illness now that vaccines are given to so many children.
If you think your child has this virus, please make an appointment with your health care provider.
The following symptoms appear two to four days before the skin rash:
On the third or fourth day, a rash starts behind your child's ears. The rash spreads to the forehead, scalp, nose, mouth and neck.
Your child may have a body temperature of 103 or 104 degrees F. The cold-like symptoms become worse while the rash spreads all over your child's body.
As the spots multiply, they form large red blotches. The spots may give your child a burning or itching feeling.
On the sixth or seventh day, peeling may start on your child's face. The peeling will occur in the same order as the rash appeared.
Antibiotics will not help treat the measles. The virus will have to run its course.
The MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine should be given to your child at 12-15 months old and again at kindergarten entry (age 5).
German measles (rubella) are caused by a virus. The virus takes about 14 to 21 days to develop. The following are symptoms of rubella:
The rash can run together or show up as little spots. It can look like measles (rubeola) or scarlet fever. The rash goes away quickly from the face and neck.
Your child can spread rubella one to two days before the rash and about two days after the rash appears.
Rubella is a serious disease for an unborn child. If your pregnancy is in the first trimester (the first three months) and you get rubella, see your health care provider right away.

Director Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman, Beaches) has always tended toward unrealistically feel-good movies, and The Other Sister is no exception. Billed as "a love story for the romantically challenged," it concerns a mentally challenged young woman (Juliette Lewis) struggling for independence from her overprotective mother (Diane Keaton). With the exception of one scene late in the film, everything in this overly cute movie is played for laughs. It's the world as Marshall would like it to be.
Portrayed in flashback as a willful, angry, destructive child, Carla emerges from a private boarding school for the mentally handicapped as far more centered, sensible and capable than anyone else on screen. But Mama Elizabeth has always been slightly embarrassed by her youngest daughter (and, on top of that, has to contend with a lesbian daughter and an underachieving daughter). She just can't accept Carla as a responsible adult who wants her own apartment, is determined to take courses at a regular school and hopes for a boyfriend. He soon arrives in the form of Daniel (Giovanni Ribisi), an equally mentally challenged young man living on his own.
This is a very different role for former wild child Lewis, best known for provocative films such as Natural Born Killers, and she does a fine job -- as does Ribisi, most recently seen in Saving Private Ryan. The problem is, the film is so intent on being uplifting and happy that it treats the young protagonists almost like a circus act.
Much of what they say and how they view the world is humorous, but it's like laughing at small children playing grown-up and remarking, "Oh, aren't they cute?" In the same "out of the mouths of babes" vein, Carla reels off one platitude after another. She is by far the wisest character in the story.
The film's humor is as mainstream and broad as it comes. On Halloween, Carla walks into the living room wearing a cumbersome swan costume and announces, "I feel so delicate" -- the joke being that she looks anything but delicate. When Carla and Daniel start thinking about sleeping together, they consult The Joy of Sex.
The dark side of life is never shown. Yes, Carla and Daniel both get frustrated, but they deal with it in a far more mature fashion than any flesh-and-blood person would, mentally challenged or not. Only one scene touches upon the real hardships Carla faces and how terribly it hurts. Otherwise, everyone she encounters treats her with patience and kindness. Even Elizabeth's embarrassment at having a "less than normal" daughter is never allowed to get too ugly or unflattering.
Although Carla, her parents and two sisters are frequently on screen together, there is no sense of familiarity or chemistry between any of them. It's not a question of a dysfunctional family; it's that no one seems related to anyone else. Keaton never creates much of a character -- she seems to have stepped off the set of Father of the Bride -- while Tom Skerritt is all smiles and no personality as Carla's dad. A few stern words between Elizabeth and her husband are supposed to reveal some tension. But, like every other conflict in the film, the words and situations never become uncivilized. In his desire to present an upbeat, inspirational film, Marshall sweeps the less attractive aspects of reality under the rug.
The Other Sister.
Rated PG-13.
Directed byGarry Marshall. With Juliette Lewis, Diane Keaton and Giovanni Ribisi.

Predictive Sciences - Fame and fortune
by Dipankar Das
Complicated love life leaves you unloved. Marry for money if you must, but don't ask for love also. Want some more? How about: Ladies above 38 to mind their digestive system.
Marriage, money, healththe
three topics covered regularly by astrology columnists and read with enthusiasm
by a growing number of people with differing tastes. This number will increase
rapidly. And that is no astral prophecy, but a certainty, if we go by the proliferation
of astrology columns in newspapers and magazine and their multiplying readership.
Traditionally slotted alongside cartoon strips, astrology columns have
been associated with light reading. But, of late, astrology columns are
being elevated from back-page banality to stellar status, especially in
the Indian media. For instance, the Indian newspaper The Hindu,
after almost a century of stubborn refusal to have anything to do with
'superstition', has finally given in to popular demand and has decided
to introduce an astrology column in its Sunday magazine section. Similarly,
The Asian Age newspaper now devotes a full page to predictions
in its weekend supplement. The
Indian Express refuses to abandon the byline of Peter Vidal in
its daily astrology section, even though he has been dead for years. Two
English magazines, The Astrological Magazine and The Star Teller,
devoted solely to astrology, have a combined print run of almost 100,000.
Even Khushwant Singh, former Indian editor, columnist and author, declares
that though "astrology columns are for stupid people", they are popular.
The popularity of these columns has, in turn, led to an increase in the number
of astrology columnists and the visibility of their bylines. Some of them work
with Tarot and playing cards, and even
computers. What made them turn to stargazing? For Calcutta-based Kusum Bhandari,
it was a simple challenge: she wanted to prove that the predictions in these columns
were a whole lot of rubbish. But she soon converted, and today she is a self-confessed
student of astrology and writes a column for the weekly Sunday magazine.
Noted Indian Tarot card reader Ma Prem Usha was introduced to the cards
by a gypsyan American and a close friend of hersat the Osho
Commune in Pune. She found the cards utterly familiar at first sight.
That familiarity has been bearing fruit ever since. She now writes columns
for various Indian dailies and magazines, apart from being the in-house
astrologer at a five-star hotel in New Delhi, India.
Veenu Sandal, an Indian journalist who writes on waning
traditions and lifestyles and has stayed many years in Bastar and other tribal
areas, also writes astrology columns for The Asian Age. She was introduced
to Tarot card reading by the gypsies on whom she was doing a story in 1986. They
predicted that she would be reading cards one day, a prophecy that she promptly
dismissed. But the stars thought otherwise. She picked up a book on Tarot from
a pavement stall, found it interesting, tried reading a friend's fortune and,
in a sense, found her own destiny.
Like Sandal, Jagjit Uppal, Mumbai-based
astrologer, predicted his own future at a very young age. An Indian Air Force
cadet then, Uppal knew that the stars would bring him fame and fortune.
Astrology has never faced extinction even in urban India. But these columns are
breathing new life into its fortunes. Ajai Bhambi, a professional astrologer,
attributes this to the fact that "more able people are coming into this profession now."
Indeed this is so, as a new breed of high-flying, articulate columnists
are making their presence felt. The most well-known of them is Bejan Daruwalla,
author of many astrology books and a columnist for The
Times of India. Daruwalla, who lives in Virginia, USA, has been rated
as one of 100 great astrologers and psychics in the last 1,000 years by
The Millennium Book of Prophecy. Daruwalla views astrology as an
effective method for alternative healing and feels that one needs a strong
intuition to predict the future.
The veritable windfall in the fortunes of astrology cannot simply be attributed
to the supply side. As Bhandari puts it bluntly: "The popularity of astrology
columns is directly proportional to the level of insecurity in society." Adds
Sandal : "Traditionally, people had their own family astrologer, but with modernization
and the rise of the nuclear family, many don't have even parents to turn to for
Another reason could be that astrology rests on a bedrock of
psychology. The detailed account of personality types converts the columnists
into therapists, they maintain. "Whoever has a session with me leaves feeling
better. Hundred percent guaranteed," claims Usha. Brinder Aulakh Anand, a cancer
survivor and a columnist, is also a therapist counselor. She not only forecasts,
but is also encouraging readers to adopt a holistic lifestyle. Many of them are
drinking the juices that she prescribes in her columns.
In newspapers
and magazines full of tedious politics and gossip, nothing touches a reader as
personally as these astrology columns. "I was the first to start writing in a
very personalized style," says Usha. "It begins with a 'you' and now everybody
seems to be doing it." She believes the columns fill a vital need since in India
psychiatrists have not really caught on, so where else can one turn for advice
and insight?
While asserting that the columns' potential for harm is
minimal, Usha cautions : "Negative predictions are negative thoughts, people start
working on them unconsciously and make them happen." Sandal suggests that a columnist
should also recommend an upaya (solution) or a way to cope with a foreseen
hurdle. Uppal, however, sees upaya as going against the very grain of astrological predictions.
The columnists face another criticism from the incisive readers. Though they spend
about six to 10 hours on a set of weekly predictions, they are often accused of
not having anything specific to say. "The predictions outline only a trend and
should be read as such," explains Uppal. However, B.V. Raman, the doyen of Indian
astrology, differs: "The forecasts given in the media (both English and vernacular)
are unscientific and undependable."
Love them, or hate them. The fact remains that they are read, often secretly, by even those who are busy connecting with cyberspace. In a world where the norm is for ushering in the new, what happens when astrology refuses to be dismissed as history and instead develops a mass following? The stars are not telling.

Women's Club 7s Standings Update |
Clubs - Women's Clubs | |
The Mid-Atlantic and Northeast have one more qualifying weekend before they name which women's clubs advance to their respective territorial championships on July 23. MARFU teams will attempt to earn points at Monk Vaughn 7s in Richmond, Va., while NRU teams duke it out at Cape Cod 7s. Last weekend's Cheesesteak 7s saw the DC Furies overtake NOVA for first place in the MARFU standings. Under the guidance of former USA Women's 7s head coach Sue Parker, the Furies dominated the competition en route to the tournament title. After beating pool play opponents Keystone, Norfolk and Philadelphia by a combined 88-5, D.C. continued its run with a massive 43-0 shutout against Norfolk in the semis, then 31-5 championship victory over Severn River. "Throughout the day, the team exhibited great teamwork on both sides of the ball," DC captain Jess Shipley said. "We had different combinations and newer players out there, so I was really impressed to see that the level of intensity and teamwork was some of the best we've seen this summer. It was great to see a lot of the things we've been working so hard on in practice start to come together, so we're excited about the coming weeks."
MARFU STANDINGS In the Northeast, the Boston Belles extended their first-place lead in the region by winning the Midnight 7s qualifier in New York City. During the final against New York, Ashley Clancy ran in the go-ahead try with no time on the clock, topping off a dramatic four-try comeback to win 21-15. The Belles' performance was rewarded with 24 points toward the standings. The tournament marked New York's first appearance at an NRU qualifier, and although the team finished second at Midnight's, it's currently ranked below the Village Lions, which earned points in both qualifiers. The Cape Cod 7s will be the NRU's teams' last chance to shake up the standings and earn an invite to territorial championships, to be held at Hell Gate 7s in New York City.
NORTHEAST STANDINGS In the South, Atlanta sent two sides to the Hotlanta 7s and ended up playing each other for the title. Atlanta won. Should the Harlequins actually attend the South Championship Club 7s this weekend at Life University, then a similar final would occur considering no opponents are currently registered. But this isolation and lack of competition is nothing new to Atlanta, and the team sports great depth that makes inter-squad games worthwhile. Atlanta is anchored by familiar names in Heather Hale, Patty Jervey, Kari Morrison, Sue Uchneat and Ros Chou, and bolstered by some fresh faces in Alana Padilla, who's played for the Philippine 7s team, and Corey Fredericks, who is currently at the USA Women's 7s camp. The Pacific Coast used the Can Am 7s in Bellingham, Wash., as the lone Pacific Northwest qualifier. The Seattle Breakers defeated the Emerald City Mudhens 13-5 in the final for the PNW seed. It's still unclear how Northern California will name its representative and whether the two Pac Coast teams will play for the higher seed, but since the national championship is in San Francisco, the union has more time than the rest of the country to make up its mind. The only other update comes from the Midwest, but it's vague at best. The territory plans to invite the summer's most successful clubs to the territorial championships on July 23, but the rumor is that many teams – Chicago North Shore, Minnesota Valkyries, Twin Cities Amazons, Chicago, Detroit – aren't all too interested in competing at nationals. "I think it's very unlikely that North Shore will go this year," former 7s Eagle Jenny Lui said of her hometown club. "But next year with a little more advanced warning, we should be able to at least put together a Chicago-area side. From chatting with people at Lakefront 7s, it doesn't look like the Amazons or Valkyries are interested either. It's strangely unpopular in the Midwest with clubs. Individuals show interest, but clubs rarely compete seriously." An update to predicted national seeds:

That's So Hot. (A List of What is and What isn't Sexy)
So I was out last night at a little tweetup, having fun, when all of a sudden it hit me – wow, our group was made up of a lot of pretty damn sexy individuals. Now I'm not saying this just to fluff a bunch of egos. Not at all. It's just what I was thinking at the time. That a heck of a lot of the assembled folks (men and women, and btw, men were in the majority) were sexy. At least, in my eyes.
So once my brain went there, it went to the next most logical place. Why did I think that? What is sexy, after all? And is it the same for men and women? Hmm. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that some of these things apply to what guys find sexy, but not all. And that the average guy's list would have a bit more emphasis on visuals.
Anyway, here's my list. My That's So Hot list. It's really just a tip of the iceberg. What came to mind today. No where near comprehensive. For what it's worth:
- A big, easy-going, natural smile. – A natural (not cheesy, salesman-like) smile tells me a guy is probably friendly and happy and maybe even well-adjusted. Or at the very least pleasantly drunk and in a good mood. If I walk in to a room full of virtual strangers, I'm going to look for a smiling guy, walk right up to him and start talking. Sourpusses, scowlers and men who have perfected the bad boy glare can all go stand in the corner by themselves and look cool.
- Taking care of yourself/not being horribly out of shape – Last night's group ranged from mid twenties to early fifties, with a healthy chunk of us wedged dead in the middle. None of the men present looked like they spent too much time in the gym, but they all looked they were aware of time's passing and worked to stay in shape. For the record, I think a 40 yr old guy with a busy life and a little extra padding is hotter than one who gets up at 4am every morning to go to the gym so that he never gains a pound.
- Smart as hell with lots of interesting things on the top of your tongue - I was trying to circulate last night, and while I did I overheard so many different, interesting conversations. I kind of wanted to stop and join all of them. And, btw, no one was namedropping, gossiping or talking about the latest tabloid scandal. That shit is so not hot.
- Chutzpah - (Sorry, I'm in a very NYC state of mind today) – I could have said confidence, sure. But it's more than that. Balls. Cojones. Audacity. No, I mean chutzpah. In a good way. This is very different than arrogant, but please don't ask me to explain it to you.
- Kindness – You might think this goes with the smile, but it's more than that. Like most gatherings, people arrived over the course of several hours. At one point in the evening, our little corner of the bar was packed and every seat was taken. Three different men were hopping up and offereing to go fetch additional seats because there was a a woman who was standing in a bending/awkward position to join a group that was talking. None of them knew her and none of them were a part of that conversation. AND, none of them wanted anything from it (hit on her afterwards). They're all just really kind, decent men who didn't want to see anyone uncomfortable, even for a moment. SO HOT!
So, ladies, what did I miss? If you were writing this list, what would be on it? And guys, what about you? What would be on your "So Hot" short list?
