We got to the port and everything went smoothly. We had all our documents ready, and since the rest of our large group was in suites (we had a balcony cabin) we were off on our own while they did VIP check in. There still wasn't much of a delay at all, and my toddler in his stroller caused no difficulties as there were plenty of elevators/helpful staff for those in strollers or wheelchair/walkers. Our number was quickly called and we were onboard. I think I can safely say that is the last thing that went smoothly.
I won't bore you with all the details, but we went not even 24 hours without a problem of some kind. It took multiple phone calls to get ice, sharps containers for our diabetic supplies, or the fridge unlocked for storing our medications and we didn't get handsoap until day 3. Requests to our steward in voice and writing about things in our cabin were greeted with smiles and nods and then disregarded. It is the least complaint but we only got 3 towel animals all week and we did ask for them for our son's sake. Instead we bought the book on how to make them and my HUSBAND started putting them on our bed for us. We did promptly get our portable crib for our son which was appreciated. Luggage was also delivered promptly. The cabin was nice and not too crowded. In fact I think our cabin was less crowded than the regular suite (not wraparound) that my father had purchased for more money. The closets and drawers were spacious and even with our toddler gear we had room for everything.
The ship decor was...too much. Most of the elements were pleasant individually, but crammed too closely together so that instead of a lovely ambience it was like walking into a closet filled with abstract art. Too loud, too busy and too much. Lovely Parrish prints were surrounded with glitzy Vegas lights, Impressionist art was laid side by side with Dali and Peter Maxx modern works for an overly garish feeling. The dining room suffered the most I think. Those grapes gave a heavy oppressive atmosphere.
The female hostess was very friendly and helpful. My son had bumped his head and so on first formal night he was not in a good mood and it was pretty much the only time we had to take him back to the cabin. She made sure the rest of my dinner got sent to my cabin. All other nights he was well-behaved but it was very nice to still get a good meal.
Room service was pretty prompt, but the sandwiches were pretty bland (very cheap quality meats) and tasteless. The salads were excellent though.
The first thing we did the day after returning home was to choose one of our favorite restaurants. We missed good food so badly and I had actually lost weight.
The excursions were wonderful, though Carnival was so late and disorganized with tendering one day that it was 1:30p before I got onto the shore even though I left my cabin at 10:30a and got a tender ticket quickly. The beaches were fabulous. I am pregnant so we stuck to sightseeing, snorkeling and nature-oriented activities. The Bacab Eco-park in Belize was delightful and the wild wings butterfly exhibit there was quite nice. We also did the Butterfly farm on our own at Grand Cayman for $4 pp cab fare up the street, $15 pp entry and then a walk around the corner to the Royal Palms Beach Club. My husband (and sister and Dad) also greatly enjoyed the Mexican Cooking excursion in Cozumel.
At Costa Maya, the town shopping area was small and not very impressive, but we picked up some nice souvenirs and ate delicious food (chicken quesadillas) at the Cat's Meow and at the hole in the fence Chac-Chi beachfront. The water was too choppy for snorkeling that day but we waded a bit and our son by that point had become part fish and loved all the beaches.
The shows were a great deal of fun. Cruise director Chris did a delightful Belushi impression and the Blues Brothers show was great. We also enjoyed the Beatles show and the hilarious comedian Allyn Ball. There was a juggler as well that we found quite entertaining and funny. My family has always enjoyed trivia and games and we made it to as many of the trivia and games as possible. A lot of the trivia activities start on time or a little early and go quickly so be sure and be prompt if these are your cup of tea. My group was rowdy and light-hearted so were were pretty noticeable whenever we participated. The games and shows really made the at sea days fun. I would recommend if possible having more activities later in the evenings for those who have early dinner.
The director of CC was useless, less than polite and certainly unsympathetic for having ruined my anniversary celebration. I wasn't looking for a comp, just an apology, and got none. I spent the night all dressed up in my cabin alone with my son while hubby went to the midnight buffet and the shows without me. The director said she memo'd corporate to get the info added to capers telling folks of the advance notice required, but that does me no good as I doubt Carnival will ever get my business again.
We were a nice sized group cruising together, several suites (including wraparounds) + our balcony cabin, my whole family traveling together, and I just was singularly unimpressed with their level of (dis)service and (un)professionalism. Any comments made to the purser's desk were not really addressed except with an insipid "we're sorry you feel that way" type response. I think I would have forgotten and brushed off any one event or disappointment, but the constant small problems and the few big problems that would completely derail our planned fun just gave an overall feeling of disappointment with Carnival's unsympathetic incompetence in several key areas.

I'm trying to get my brain around what it must be like to be turning a mere 22 and knowing that you never have to work another day in your life if you don't want to. Mr. Grint seems to have his head on straight, though, and be serious about pursuing his craft while doing some good in the world with his wealth through philanthropy. I wish him all the best and hope that he never lacks for a sense of purpose throughout the rest of his life and career.

People took part in the Global Expo at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site and the neighboring King Center.
The daylong festival-style event was a chance for locals to gear up for the 50th anniversary commemorative March on Washington later this month.
People braved the rain for a chance to remember a civil rights leader and his historic speech.
"I really enjoyed the film. We just looked at the March on Washington," said spectator Ronald Williams.
The year was 1963, and King's mission was about jobs and freedom.
That same theme took center stage at Saturday's Global Expo.
The event brought together everyday people with global organizations like UNICEF, which works to make a difference in the lives of people.
"What we are doing is minimal compared to the sacrifices that they made," said Dr. Bernice A. King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr.
King took time to remember not only her father's work but the sacrifices of those who stood beside him.
"Starting in Montgomery [AL] when they walked for 381 days." said King. "Many of them put their jobs, their lives, their families, their homes on the line."
Martin Luther King Jr.'s nonviolent and charismatic approach to change got the attention of the nation.
Georgia state Sen. Nan Grogan Orrock was at the march.
She told CBS Atlanta News that as a student working in Washington, DC, the march taught her more than any textbook.
"I was taught civics, democracy and freedom and liberty and justice for all. The march lifted up the fact that we didn't have liberty and justice for all," said Orrock.
The commemorative March on Washington is Aug. 28 in the nation's capital.
CBS Atlanta News will be there.

A car was found in the Mahwah River this morning in Hillburn, setting off an effort by volunteer firefighters from New York and New Jersey to get onto the fast-moving river and get to the vehicle.
Officials said a search determined that there was no one in the car and they are uncertain how the vehicle got into the river. The car was in an area that has seen several similar incidents in recent years.
The incident, which started at about 8:30 a.m., led to about a two-hour operation so that volunteer firefighters could safely reach the car. At the time, water was rising at about a foot an hour and was moving very fast.
Firefighters from Hillburn were assisted by firefighters from Mahwah, NJ, who brought a specialized fan-driven boat that could be used on the river. Firefighters were able to inspect the sunken car from the boat.
Hillburn volunteers were also assisted by volunters from Stony Point, Thiells and Sloatsburg, with Suffern volunteers on standby in case of other emergencies.

Adam Richman issued an apology on Tuesday for "inexcusable remarks" he made on Twitter and Instagram that led Travel Channel to pull his new show Man Finds Food, ABC News reports.
Last month, the former host of Travel Channel's gluttonous�Man v. Food showed off his shocking 70-pound weight loss in a mostly nude photoshoot for the July issue of Cosmopolitan. He also added a photo of his new body on Instagram with the hashtag #thinspiration, which didn't sit well with readers since the hashtag is often associated with eating disorders.
More celebrities posing nude!�
After negative comments began to pile up, Richman was quick to fight back. He went so far as to tell commenter to "grab a razor blade and draw a bath. I doubt anyone will miss you."
"I'm incredibly sorry to everyone I've hurt," Richman said in a statement. "I've long struggled with my body image and have worked very hard to achieve a healthy weight."
Travel Channel announced Monday that Man Finds Food, which was slated to debut Wednesday, has been postponed. No new launch date has been announced.

Saab Exhaust Hardware Parts
Saab is a reputable brand that has been in the auto industry for over 50 years out of their headquarters, in Scandinavia. They positioned their quality driven designs early on to establish themselves as something unique, even in their first vehicle line. Today, their vehicle parts allocate your Saab to have the same innovative parts sold with the same engineering you are familiar with. Saab has always been revered for their quality in all of their products and vehicles, and even their exhaust hardware parts and components. The most seen exhaust hangers in modern times consist of rubber. This is a durable material that upholds just about all of the weight in your Saab's exhaust assembly. Even though the rubber material is created to last over a long period of time, it can get worn out, just like any other part on your Saab can. When this does happen, the hangers will have to be replaced with new ones. This is a simple procedure and you do not have to be a mechanic to do so. It depends on what make of Saab you own, but you may not even have to use any tools. One of the first things you need to do is to jack your Saab up. It is imperative to make sure it is in place well enough to handle some shaking. You may want to take off catalytic converter so you have more room to work with. You may not have to remove your exhaust hangers on all Saab's, but taking off the exhaust will make the procedure easier for you. Next, locate your Saab's exhaust hangers and them out. Pull them off the exhaust, but if they are in terrible shape or are extremely tight, you will most likely have to lubricate them to get them off. FCP Euro has a large stock of Saab exhaust hardware parts and components, including all parts for Saab's vehicles.
Saab Exhaust Hardware Parts Online
If your rubber hangers are not budging, you can take at them off and bring them loose with a flat head screwdriver. Your Saab's exhaust hangers are produced to maintain the exhaust assembly while the heat flows into your Saab's cabin. They also help reduce the overall shaking. If your exhaust begins to vibrate, it is a good idea to look at the whole system in your Saab for leaks or damaged hangers. Also, if you are putting in a totally new exhaust, you should also replace all of your hangers to make sure it is does not shake. FCP Euro's steadfast and exceptional call center team is always available and waiting to help out with any support or questions you have. If you would like any help in finding out which exhaust hardware part works best for your Saab, FCP has a huge selction for the Saab brand. Check out FCP Euro's website for all products, as well as our continuously updating inventory. If you have questions, would like to put in a phone order, or just have feedback, do not hesitate to give FCP Euro a call at 877-634-0063 to connect with our service friendly team.

As Suncoast Animal League volunteers were on the way from Tallahassee with 23 rescued dogs bringing them to Pinellas they learned about 66 more puppies and dogs saved from a mill in the panhandle.
The new rescues had to be picked up in 24 hours - the shelters holding them didn't have space and ability to take care of those pups.
The SAL volunteers left at 2 in the morning to drive to those shelters and bring the dogs to Pinellas County.
The newly rescued dogs are designer mixed breeds, Poodle-Shih Tzus and Poodle-Malteses. They are small and very matted, volunteers said.
They are working on finding temporary housing for the new dogs and providing them with the proper veterinary care. SAL staff and volunteers will try to make them available for adoption as soon as possible.
If you can help SAL in any way, you can contact them at 727-786-1330 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com

3.35/5 rDev -8%
Pours a yellow and gold color, substantial clarity, so fresh and so clean, 1" of white head on the top, good lacing, remnants stick on the non drinking side of the glass for the duration of the 12oz.
Aroma, pretty crisp, a little bit of sawdust in it at times. Assume that's the pilsner malt.
Floral hop taste, mild, spritzy carbonation, still smelling/tasting a mild sawdust component in this beer. Reminiscient of Mendocino's lager/pilsner beer. Higher ibu count than most pilsners. The bitterness seems to be a little to similar to a metallic bitterness moreso than one derived from beer ingredients. Noble hopped I suspect.
Mouthfeel tries to be dry and clean, but there is a musty sawdust clove lemon aspect of the aftertaste that just doesn't go away.
I dunno, this is really only a Left Hand offering that I think would be a repeat drink in the summer months, at best.

Bright golden color, very transparent with a white head.
Not the cleanest nose, kind of a dirty earth character with grain water added.
Taste is a little better, but it turns kind of harsh. A salad of grass, pepper, and lemon come to mind.
With all the better examples out there I don't think i'll see this one in my glass again any time soon.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine July 2007.
A good part of Polestar's authentic appeal comes from the award-winning Weyermann Pilsner Malt that Left Hand uses. This beer has also has a great blend of Perle, Vanguard and Saaz hops. Very pale golden-yellow hue. Clarity is perfect, with lots of tiny bubbles racing to the top. Impeccable head retention, as two fingers froth stick all the way down to the bottom of the glass. Light and fluffy biscuity malt aroma, as well as spicy, grassy hops in the nose. The crispness is so embedded and the smoothness so laid-back, it's incredibly refreshing. Fresh, biscuity malt flavor throughout--simple yet perfect. The grassy hop bitterness is not abrasive in any way, actually comple- menting and balancing out the beer very well. Suggestions of grape skin appear, minimal but persistent. Dry finish with a spicy hop and a clean graininess that lingers.
By far one of the best and most drinkable lagers brewed in the US today; one that gives the German Pilsners a real run for their money--and not on freshness alone. A heaping bowl of piping-hot chili verde will do the trick for a pairing.

I got this case from Rick in Alexandria after seeing it highly rated in a NYTimes review. It pours slightly cloudy, pale gold, lots of bubbles coming up. The soft fluffy head dissapates after a bit but leaves a ring. There's a slight flowery aroma with a bit of malt but it's not a great nose. It tastes very flavorful, nice malt/hops balance. It's soft in the mouth and goes down wonderfully. I think this is a somewhat better beer than the average rating indicates.

Bottle pours a clear pale yellow body with a two finger white head. Good retention and some grainy patch lacing. Aroma is a bit subdued but features spicy and grassy hops, a hint of lemon, and a solid pils malt biscuity malt base. Light to light medium in body and well carbonated. Taste is pleasantly balanced between the slightly sweet biscuity malt base and the grassy and spicy hop bitterness. A hint of lemon underneath. Finishes clean and even. Another solid American made pilsener that is tasty and highly drinkable.

12 ounce bottle with bottled on dating printed on the front label. Pours light and clear, golden uner a nice looking fine white, leaving plenty of fine lace. Grassy is how I would describe the moderatly pungent nose. Pleasant, easy drinking lager, with wiffs of lime, more grass with some snappy and quite dry hops sealing the deal. Thirst quenching, crisp and dry. Respectable sessioner. Nice for a summer lunch.

Appearance: clear, bright caution light yellow, 1/3 inch head, high carbonation
Smell: yeast, grass, and malt
Taste: sweet malt, sugar, grass, honey, and small hops in the finish
Mouthfeel: crisp, medium light, moderate carbonation, semi-sweet with a small bitter finish
Drinkability: A highly sessionable pils that I could have in any season. This is a little on the sweet side. Another winner from one of my favorite breweries.

The beer pours a very clear straw color with a large white head . The aroma is classic pilsner. I get a lot of lighter pilsner malts, as well as some honey and grass. About what I expected. The flavor is pilsner malt and a lot of grassy hops. Fairly hoppy for a pilsner. Medium bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium mouthfeel. A nice, easy drinking pilsner.

This beer pours a perfect look. Just the right shade of golden with a nice thick head. Could not help but notice the born on date. Smudged, it showed a little over a month ago. Then, the smell. I smelled that smell before and I cursed the day when I first smelt it. The smell is a dead ringer for Milwaukee's Best, The Beast. The salty smell was overwhelming. Being hopeful with the looks, I took a drink. The salty beast was all over it, though I remember The Beast (been over 10 years) to be worse. Not smooth in the mouth or going down. After drinking the beer, which was good enough to finish but it is rare that I would ever not finish a beer, I needed a drink of water to kill the taste out of my mouth. Assessment, if you are dirt poor and want to get drunk to drown your worries, drink something cheaper.

12oz bottle poured in a pint glass.
Very nice big 2 finger head, light golden color. Smells like Corona. Tastes better though. Good mouthfeel, just the right amount of body for a light beer. Overall I'd say it's a decent summer beer but I wouldn't buy it often.

12oz bottle in a sampler pack. Pours an extremely clear pale gold. Two-finger, creamy head, showing decent retention and some slight lacing.
The aroma is faint, dominated by grain and dry hoppiness. The flavor is standard pils, though seems out of balance on the end, a bit of a bite, rather then a strong hopped finish. The hops are lacking and there's a bit of a plastic bite.
It's light bodied and well carbonated, seems a bit unbalanced, kind of chalky and acidic. Not that drinkable, just do the misaligned flavor profile. Not one of the better offerings from LH.

Another sample beer. First beer of the night poured into a pint glass.
Looks like a pilsner, tastes like a pilsner. Must be a pilsner, which is okay with me. Grew up on it and still enjoy it.
Appearance was a bit cloudy yellow straw. Head was short-lived and smell was expectedly minimal. Clean and crisp. Not much on the flavor, but quenched the thirst. Good mouthfeel, above average taste.
Good beer for the right occasion. If you are having more than one, and who isn't, then this is a clean crisp and easy drinking beer. Wouldn't want to eat anything heavy with it, but would be good with clams or oysters or on its own.
I like this beer, but on the take home scale I would have trouble justifying the extra cost for this pilsner. I would pass it up on the shelf.

Heal Thyself - Spotlight on Prediabetes
By Christie Aschwanden
When Karen Bouse was in her late forties, a series of puzzling dizzy spells sent her to the doctor's office. It turned out the dizziness was linked to stress, but the blood tests her doctor ordered yielded an unpleasant surprise—Bouse was prediabetic.
Like most of us, Bouse was well aware of the epidemic of diabetes that's been wreaking havoc with the health of some 18 million Americans. But she was taken aback to learn that another 41 million of us suffer from prediabetes—a condition that's risky in its own right—and that she was one of them.
The problem of prediabetes, defined as overly high blood sugar (a fasting glucose level of 100 to 125 milligrams per deciliter or a two-hour glucose reading of 140 to 99), isn't just that it's the stepping-stone to the full-blown disease. A study of more than a million people published last January found that just being prediabetic was linked to developing, and dying from, several types of cancer. "And simply having blood sugar levels in the prediabetic range puts people at 50 percent greater risk of heart disease or stroke," says Massachusetts General Hospital dietitian Linda Delahanty, author of Beating Diabetes.
For Bouse, now 62, these statistics hit close to home. Her diabetic mother had her first heart attack at age 56 and died at 62. Among her five siblings, Bouse is the only one who hasn't either developed diabetes or suffered a heart attack.
That's largely because she was lucky enough to have gotten tested early—something more of us should be doing, says endocrinologist Robert Rizza, president-elect of the American Diabetes Association. Since prediabetes lurks silently, most people who have it don't have a clue they're in danger. If you've been steadily gaining weight that you can't seem to shed, don't exercise regularly, have a family history of diabetes, or are over 45, you should have your blood sugar checked, then rechecked every three to five years.
And if it's high, what then? At least there's one bright spot in this dreary picture: Prediabetes can be reversed, without resorting to medication. Here's what you need to do.
Get moving
One of the simplest ways to move yourself out of the prediabetic category is to, well, move.
A landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2002 showed that building even a little exercise into your day (along with dietary changes, more about which later) can substantially cut blood sugar levels.
The trial, known as the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), enrolled 3,234 prediabetic people to examine whether diabetes could be prevented. The participants were assigned to one of three groups. One took the diabetes drug metformin, another group got a placebo, and the third started exercising and tweaked their diets.
The results were so dramatic that researchers stopped the trial early so that everyone in the study could take up the lifestyle program. People in the diet and exercise group reduced their...

News of The Muse Hotel
Read guest reviews and get the inside story of the Muse Hotel, a Kimpton Hotel.
The New York Times::"Guests staying with pets at the Muse, part of the Kimpton chain, receive an amenity bag, the size of which depends on whether you own a teacup Pomeranian or a Doberman pinscher, said Ericka Nelson, general manager. The bag, which guests get to keep, includes a water bowl; organic treats; a squeak toy; a pooper scooper; a leash; a special Do Not Disturb sign to let the staff know your pet is in the room; and The New York Paws, a guide to area parks, shops, pet sitters and animal hospitals.
Wall Street Journal Webinar::"The Muse* makes it easier for guests who travel without devices by providing them with Nook e-readers during their stays. We noticed travelers were packing books less and less. They're cumbersome and take up valuable luggage space, but it's really hard to replace the joy of reading a great book on the road,' Nelson said. 'It's also important for families that forgot to pack their tablets because games (and other contents) are big hits with bored kids.'"
Passport Magazine: :"Hopelessly in love or hopeless in the love department, Kimpton's The Muse hotel, just steps away from Manhattan's renowned theatre district, has you covered this Valentine's Day. Whether you and your significant other want a romantic escape to the city or your friends want to avoid Cupid's arrow all together, make The Muse your home base in NYC with this customizable package."
USA Today: Post-Sandy New York eager for holiday tourists - Among the more than 3 million spectators lining the sunlit streets of Midtown Manhattan for Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade were 5,000 special guests: survivors from nearby neighborhoods hit the hardest when Superstorm Sandy slammed ashore late last month. And the Big Apple's tourism industry, like the giant balloons that symbolize the launch of the city's peak season, is still flying high after a storm that killed dozens and paralyzed much of the region. If you go: Through Nov. 30, The Muse will donate $10 of each reservation booked with rate code REDC to American Red Cross relief effort.
'Travel with Val' on NY1: Travel Industry Offers Special Rates For Residents Displaced By Sandy, Volunteers - The travel industry is supporting relief efforts with special rates and promotions for those displaced by Hurricane Sandy or visitors just wanting to help. NY1's Valarie D'Elia filed the following report. Hotels from New York to Florida are doing their part to help out in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Here in New York, the Kimpton group of hotels, including The Muse are donating $10 of each reservation to the American Red Cross through November 30. For more info, visit www.kimptonhotels.com.
Forbes.com: Travelers: Here's How To Help With Sandy Relief Efforts Right Now - Life may have returned to normal for many East Coasters in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, but for the millions left homeless and without power, hardships go on. Here's how you, as a frequent traveler, can still help with disaster-relief efforts: The Charles Hotel in Cambridge and the XV Beacon in Boston, along with Kimpton Properties the Muse and 70 Park Avenue, in New York, are among hotels donating a portion of your Thanksgiving stay fee to Sandy relief efforts.
Thrillist New York: Hurricane Sandy Relief: 35 Ways You Can Help - Although things may seem back to normal if you're lucky enough to be at a working office today, much of New York is in rebuilding mode. But if this city can survive the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, it can survive Sandy. Here's a list of quick ways you can help get people back on their feet, just through eating, drinking, and dancing in the afternoon. NIOS Restaurant (located in The Muse) will donate $1 to the Red Cross for every glass of red wine bought through November.
ABCNews.com:Superstorm Sandy Stuffs Hotels With Stranded Tourists, Displaced Residents - Travelers have started to check out of the hotels where they've been stranded as a result of superstorm Sandy. But the rooms will be quickly occupied. New Yorkers without power, heat and water are anxious to check in. There are 500,000 New Yorkers without power, Mayor Bloomberg said Thursday afternoon. Ericka Nelson, general manager of The Muse New York, said, "I'd say we get about 50 people a day begging for rooms. They have nowhere to stay." The hotel has been sold out since Saturday. Advice for those looking: "Every morning I go through the departures list while someone else is simultaneously going through the arrivals list, trying to figure out who is really coming and going," the Muse's Nelson said. She said her best advice for getting a hotel room is persistence. "Use every avenue available to you," she said. She tells the story of a family who came in with a baby and told her the baby was cold, they just needed somewhere to go. "It pulls at my heartstrings," she said. Staff going the extra mile: For those lucky enough to find a hotel room, some staffers are going above and beyond to make sure guests are comfortable. The Muse is pet friendly and it has "an incredible number" staying at the hotel. Luckily, a veterinarian whose three-day stay turned into a 10-day stay has offered his services to all animals at the hotel. He was needed at 9 p.m. to assist a guest's dog, Nelson said, and was happy to help. "Everyone is pitching in," she said.ÊThe hotel even tried to make Halloween special for the kids. "The kids dressed up and went trick-or-treating from department to department," Nelson said. And because the hotel already had pumpkins in house, they put one in each room with a child with carving tools.
Esquire Magazine: Inspiring CEOs - Success is often measured using unimaginative metrics when it comes to the American chief executive officer. The bottom line, often in the form of the stock price, is the classic criterion used to pick out the best CEOs - as if that tells you anything real about the human in charge. We chose instead to look at each executive's ability to inspire. Here we honor corporate leaders who believe that by making their employees' working lives better they can make people feel good about working hard. Mike Depatie's masterpiece is Kimpton, a chain that perfectly fits its time: friendly, cool, and upscale seeming, but at a sweet-spot price point somewhere between the Four Seasons and, well, La Quinta. A one-night stay at a Kimpton hotel revealed signs of Depatie's influence. 7:00pm: Check into room 1902 at the Muse, 46th Street, New York, a half block from Times Square. It's a suite with a rate of $459, about 400 square feet and two rooms, bigger than you'd think for a boutique hotel. There's a plate of cheese and strawberries, a mirrored coffee table, and a kind of ersatz Dali painting on the wall. The bust of a Roman goddess on the minibar is both confusing and perfect. 8:35pm: Dinner at Nios, the hotel restaurant. It's classic Kimpton: There's a mellow crowd of tourists and midtown happy-hour workers buzzing around the slick bar/dining room. Two flat-screens show sports. There's smoked duck, "disco fries" (bacon, brown gravy, Parmesan, fantastic), charcuterie, flatbread pizzas, dynamite lamb shank, a burger on brioche Ñ fancy enough to seem special but regular enough for people who like comfort food. 10:20pm: Back in the room, a bowl of popcorn has appeared. A memorable, inexpensive gesture. 9:15am: At checkout, a chipper Kimpton employee stands at the front desk holding a Pomeranian. The woman says the Pomeranian is the director of pet relations.
Whirl Magazine: New York, New York - At the end of our annual summer beach trip, our emily sought to prolong the good times with a weekend stay in Times Square, New York City. We wanted to indulge the full-on Broadway experience with shows in the evening and streetwalking during the day. Our first call to The Muse Hotel came in under two minutes, consisting of a room check and verification number, all handled deftly. Pulling up to the hotel blocks from Times Square was slow with traffic, but doorman Willie made it all seem worthwhile. The subtle attention to detail quietly exudes throughout the hotel, from the smooth and cool contemporary lobby, to the unique styling dcor for each room. The Muse staff lives up to the thoughtful and intelligent aura, with personal greetings for all, even the pets who are lucky enough to experience this boutique hotel in the middle of New York City.
OutThere Magazine: Stay and Play - New York has always been known for its debonair sense of style - a city that constantly reinvents itself to keep you on your toes - from the design credentials of its places to play or stay (or in most places both together), to its chic boutiques where you'll find men's couture from Varvatos to vintage, to the people with larger than life personalities who plug-in and upload to its big creative machine. Check out; or rather check-in to a Spa Suite at The Muse, another special member of the Kimpton family of gay-welcoming hotels. This midtown hotel room is the perfect soft backdrop to a romantic night in that's bound to impress and score you some serious love points. The suite comes with an oversized bathtub that is great for sharing as with, but don't forget to put a towel over the stone-carved bust of Greek goddess Thalia, she has a penchant for watching.

Throw a Cinderella
Tea Party
You don't need a magic pumpkin, or even a fairy godmother, to get this tea party underway -- just a teapot, delicious cake, and proper invitations. Here's a plan that's got you covered on all three counts. Plus, it includes a few teatime activities based on the story of the young princess who inspired the party: Cinderella, herself.
The Cake
Teatime Table Cake: Topped with a fondant tablecloth and miniature teacups and saucers, this layer cake really sets the mood for a tea party. Plus the tea set makes a nice bonus gift for the birthday child. If you haven't worked with fondant before, don't let the thought of it intimidate you. This recipe is made with marshmallows, resulting in a consistency that's easy to roll and will hold together well when you drape it over the cake.
Tea Party Decorations
Because the table is the focal point of this party, a pretty tablecloth is a must. A vase of flowers (fresh picked, silk, or colorful paper ones) is a nice touch, too. You can even add a sprinkling of silvery or iridescent star confetti as a reminder of the starlit sky Cinderella and the prince danced under right before she fled the ball at the stroke of midnight.
Tea Party Crafts
Lacy Paper Glove Invitations: Cut from paper doilies, these fancy gloves with their lacy trim make fittings invitations for a Cinderella tea.
Pretty Paper Teapots: With this stand-up paper teapot craft, party-goers can take turns pretending to pour each other a spot of tea. You can even set up a crafting station for kids to decorate their own pots during the party.
More Tea Party Activities
Dress in Style: Despite her evil stepsisters' attempts to foil her plans, Cinderella arrived at the ball dressed in a beautiful gown and matching accessories -- thanks to her fairy godmother. For fun, provide a collection of inexpensive costume jewelry and/or decorative hair clips for the girls to choose from to complement their teatime outfits. Then, when the party is over, they can take their picks home as favors.
Try On the Magic Sandal: Before the party, transform an plain flip-flop into a sandal reminiscent of the glass slipper Cinderella lost at the ball by wrapping sparkly ribbon around the straps. You can even glue faux gems onto the ribbon. Set the slipper on a pillow beside a chair and let the girls take turns trying it on.
Blow Bubbles: When Cinderella fans get together for tea, no doubt they'll be bubbling over with excitement. Provide party guests with bubble solution and wands, and their enthusiasm will float sky high. You might even lead them in a round of "Sing, Sweet Nightingale," the song Cinderella sang as she scrubbed the floor and soap bubbles filled the air.

Jes Baker, who blogs under the name "The Militant Baker" and wears a size 22, changed the brand's A&F logo to "Attractive & Fat" in a mock, black-and-white Abercrombie ad to challenge the line's branding efforts.
The company doesn't carry above a size 10 or large for women.
The photos come as a provocative response to contentious comments Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries made in a 2006 Salon article. "In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids," Jeffries said. "Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong (in our clothes), and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."
"I challenge the separation of attractive and fat, and I assert that they are compatible regardless of what you believe," Baker, 26, wrote in a public letter addressed to the CEO. Jeffries has since apologized in a statement: "While I believe this 7-year-old, resurrected quote has been taken out of context, I sincerely regret that my choice of words was interpreted in a manner that has caused offense."

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
In 2013, Greensburg city government will be tackling a number of critical projects, some of them having been in the works for several years.
On Thursday afternoon, Mayor Gary Herbert and a number of department heads sat down with the Daily News at City Hall to provide an outline of government plans for 2013.
Water and Wastewater Office Manager Donna M. Lecher and Water Superintendent Rick Denney said their department's major project in 2013 will be the addition of Radio Read Meters for water and waste water billing of the city's water utility customers.
The city's water department currently has about 4,000 customers, according to Lecher. The city plans to replace the current reading devices in those homes with Radio Read Meters and hopes to have those installations completed by Fall.
"That's not set in stone, though," Lecher added.
Herbert hailed the efficiency of the new units, stressing that customer rates won't be raised with the new system.
He further explained that water utility rates to pay for the upgrade were slightly increased in 2007. The increased revenue has been saved each month since to pay for the new systems.
The mayor added that the new readers, unlike the majority of current readers, can be read remotely, saving manpower hours for the city and reducing overall costs.
The new readers can also be read year-round, whereas most current units can't be read in temperatures of 20 degrees or less, Lecher said.
A supplier of the new readers, along with pricing for the entire packages have yet to be determined, Denny added.
According to Denney, Lecher, Greensburg Fire Department (GFD) Chief Scott Chasteen and Herbert, the city will also upgrade its waterline system in 2013.
The primary, 12-inch main piping used in the current system, Herbert explained, extends around the city in a semi-circle, causing a potential problem with outages in certain areas in the event of a severe leak or other emergency due to a lack of system redundancy.
The system upgrade, Chasteen added, will extend the current piping into a complete circle around the city, allowing for redundancy and a significantly decreased chance of water outages around the city.
Also in 2013, the GFD will complete its purchase of a new fire engine. The new engine has a 77-foot ladder, Chasteen said, whereas the department's current engine is a 1979 model with a 55-foot ladder.
According to Chasteen, the department saved a total of $50,000 on the purchase both by buying outright and by buying through the Houston-Galveston Area Consortium (HGAC).
Herbert described such a purchasing consortium as a "kind of Sam's Club." Chasteen agreed with that assessment, adding that the HGAC is simply a way in which communities combine resources to purchase equipment in bulk, thereby consortium member costs on large purchases.
Chasteen added that the department was able to purchase the vehicle without financing through the city's "Cumulative Fire Fund," which is generated through property taxes.
Chasteen added that he was pleased with a recent upgrade in the ISO rating of both the city of Greensburg and Washington Township.
According to the chief, ISO ratings are used by insurance companies to determine homeowner insurance rates for fire protection. On the ISO ratings scale, a 1 is best and a 10 is worst.
Greensburg, he added, improved from a 5 ISO rating to a 4, while Washington Township improved from a 9 to an 8b.
Wastewater Superintendent Jeff Smith said that his department will oversee completion of construction on a new administration building in early 2013. Smith expects the project — which started in April and whose planning stages stretch back to 2006 — to be completed within 60 days.
Street Commissioner Mark Klosterkemper told the Daily News that the final touches on one of 2012's biggest projects — the Gas Creek Watershed Project — will be completed in 2013.
Storm water retention facilities within the watershed will help prevent flooding by collecting large amounts of drainage water (more than 30 million gallons) much more quickly than it's released, Klosterkemper explained.
Also in 2013, according to Klosterkemper, the city expects to oversee the installation of an automated traffic signal at North Michigan Avenue at the Honda Associate entrance.
Klosterkemper added he expects the light to be directing traffic sometime between April 1 and May 1. He stressed, however, that the date could change depending on weather conditions, which will impact the construction schedule.
The street department also hopes to perform significant changes to the intersection at Vandalia Road and Michigan Avenue in 2013, Klosterkemper added. That project will include completely eliminating the turn at Vandalia and Michigan and horizontally re-aligning Vandalia Road.
The city will also replace bridge 188 on Vandalia Road, according to Klosterkemper (nicknamed peanut hill bridge by some), making it wider and less prone to flooding.
Herbert's most ambitious 2013 project is unlikely to actually get underway this year, although the mayor anticipates laying significant groundwork for a project his described as "vitally important to the city of Greensburg."
With the Veteran's Way construction project, Herbert envisions the building of a new east-to-west highway running through the city from "just east of the Hampton Inn" to an outlet between Burger King and MainSource Bank on Lincoln Avenue.
The naming of the new roadway, the mayor said, has been approved by the city's TIFF board. Now the project awaits final approval for phase I of an anticipated three-phase construction process.
When finally approved, the project's first phase will be paid for by the city in hopes INDOT will step in for the latter phases.

The University of Maine School of Performing Arts Reader's Theatre will present "The Heart of Art," a new play by Michael Weller at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7. The performance will be held in Minsky Recital Hall in Class of 1944 Hall. Admission is free.
The plot of the play surrounds an aspiring playwright from the Midwest whose new play is optioned by a scrupulous, yet desperate producer. A Broadway matinee idol, a bombshell actress, an alcoholic actor, a failed playwright turned dramaturg, and his assistant all make up the cast of this zany comedy, in which art is truth, compromise is king, and innocence is lost. The School of Performing Arts is helping Weller develop this script by providing a new public reading as it heads toward full production. Tom Mikotowicz, a UMaine theatre professor, is directing the play.
Contact: Monique Hashey, 207.581.4721 or firstname.lastname@example.com

- GoodfoodandserviceDined on 8/30/2014I have enjoyed the other entres I have eaten in the past, but not the chicken pot pie. Stay away from the chicken pot pie.

- Rushed and Wrong OrderJerryDined on 8/16/2014We arrived at 7:30 PM for a leisurely meal. We ordered a bottle of wine. As the server brought out the wine another server wanted to take our food order immediately. She even interrupted the wine server as we were initially tasting the first sip of wine. We did order without saying that we wanted to enjoy the first glass of wine before ordering - our mistake. Then the salad came out very quickly soon followed by the meal. We still hadn't finished our first glass of wine by this time. My wife got what she ordered by I had ordered the filet mignon but it came with an oscar sauce and crab meat which was a different dish on the menu. I ate it without complaint. I certainly wasn't going to send it back. Both meals were tasty.Special Features:
- Great music and serviceBsceneDined on 8/16/2014Tried Parkers for the first time to celebrate my husband birthday with a group. The service was great, very friendly and prompt. The food was pretty good and there were options for everyone (i.e., vegetarian). The music was also very nice. We had a great night out. I will go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- disappointedDined on 8/9/2014Food, was not very good the cocktails were not filled to the top. I ordered a margarita and it tasted like a big glass of sour lemonade. I'm sorry I will not be returning.
- Good but priceyOuttolunchDined on 8/9/2014I like that this isn't your typical chain restaurant, but it is pricey. We spent $175 (including tip) on 3 meals. We didn't order drinks, appetizers or dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DrRas42Dined on 8/9/2014We had dined at Parkers Blue Ash Tavern a number of years ago while visiting family in Cincinnati. On our most recent visit we decided to return to Parkers for dinner. We were very pleased with both the food and the service. My wife and I both ordered a delicious chopped salad followed by Salmon, which was also well prepared and served on a bed of rice with accompanying vegetables. Another family members ordered fish and chips and was happy with her selection. A bottle of Padrillos Malbec 2013 from Mendoza, Argentina complemented our food. The dessert list looked very tempting, but we were far too full to indulge in anything more at that point. Our server, by the way, was excellent.Special Features:
- Great happy hourOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/6/2014Nice selection of drinks and appetizers. The prime rib quesadilla was amazing!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Our daughter contacted the manager and made arrangements through him for our daughter and family and our son and family to have dinner and drinks on them. He also was kind enough to purchase the greeting card. We also appreciated the complimentary, delicious Creme Brûlée Cheesecake. Thank you again for making our anniversary very memorable!Special Features:
- Not close to Chicago foodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/25/2014Being from Chicago you have a pretty high standard of flavor and quality in the foods you order from a restaurant. I ordered the half slab of ribs and while the meat was well cooked the BBQ sauce was very bland and no seasoning at all. Definitely would not recommend this place for dinner.
- Consistently A Winner!GerriHVIPDined on 7/21/2014I love Parker's for lunch or dinner. Always high quality food and excellent service. This was a business lunch and we both had the club sandwich. So simple and so good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner out with friendsfood4meDined on 7/20/2014First time to this restaurant. Great selection of local beers. Our meals were delicious. Our waiter was attentive, prompt, and friendly. We will be back.Special Features:
- Beware of happy hourCsparksDined on 7/19/2014They have a huge sign out front that happy hour is every day from 3:30 to 7:00. However, you have to be sitting in the bar to get the specials. I heard 2 other tables by us ask for the happy hour specials, too. We would have asked to sit in the bar if we had known. They should serve happy hour prices throughout the restaurant. Silly rules make for unhappy customers. Waitress was super slow. Food was pretty bland. For such a pricy place, we expected top notch and didn't get it.Special Features:
- amazing foodjroushVIPDined on 7/19/2014The food was amazing and the service was outstanding. This is one of the top restaurants that we ate at.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bobbieVIPDined on 7/16/2014Terrible service. Waited over one hour and fifteen minutes. One waitress to serve 8 tables is not going to cut it. When told about the lack of service it was apparently ignored. They need to get their act together or we will never go there again.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/16/2014Our food was very good. Our server was very attentive. We would return to Parkers again. We were there for an Anniversary. Wouldn't necessarily say it was a romantic place, but the food is very good. The service was very good and our server paid very good attention.Special Features:
- Gresast night outBASSOVIPDined on 7/14/2014Added to good food and drinks was the special service of our waitress, Hannah, who became a "friend" and gave great personal service without being pushy. Hostesses were great about opening doors for us, as one of us has a walker.Special Features:
- shitakeDined on 7/13/2014My wife and I love going to different restaurants on Sundays for brunch, this one was worth the drive from Dayton.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Didn't live up to the price!MiddleagecouplehighendDined on 7/11/2014The steaks were very bland and had no real flavor. The service was horrible. When we ordered I changed a couple things on the salad and she (older lady) gave me attitude about it. When we were finished with our meal we waited almost 15-20 minutes for her to come back around to give us our checks. The buser asked her twice to please come to our table with our check. If you are going to spend over $100.00 on dinner I definitely wouldn't recommend this place.
- Just okXavierfanDined on 7/10/2014Seated near beverage station in near empty restaurant. Food ok, nice server. Do not plan to return.

- not up to paranotherfoodieDined on 6/22/2014I dined at your restaurant last Sunday for brunch. I am typically a customer four or five times a year. This past Sunday, your food was up to your normal high standards. Your service, however was not. My guest and I were promptly seated when we arrived. After that we were, by and large, ignored. After a wait that got uncomfortable, I had to flag down an employee and have them explain how your brunch worked, (it was my first time at your Sunday brunch) and then had to do the same "flagging down" anytime we needed something. The wait for any request by your staff "if we needed anything" was just too long. Unfortunately this was the birthday celebration of my guest, and your poor service, was certainly untimely.Special Features:
- A great anniversary47CountingDined on 6/21/2014What a great way to celebrate 47 years together - enjoying a cocktail while complimented by the finest calamari and then following with an excellent cut of prime rib and a superb twist on mac & cheese...

- Not great this timeGeeBeeVIPDined on 6/6/2014We usually have a nice time at Parker's. This time was flawed due to a server who just did not seem to care. I asked a few questions that were greeted with unhelpful comments. For example, I asked if I could substitute a vegetable for mashed potatoes and was told: you can always order a vegetable extra. That really did not answer my question. I also asked if the pot de crème had peanut butter in it (the menu indicated it was served with peanut butter but did not really state that peanut butter was in the dish). The response was "I think so". Not helpful at all. A good server would have asked the chef and, by then, I was too unhappy to ask her to ask the chef. Not acceptable for a check in excess of $100. Hope this was a one-time thing.Special Features:

|Wildcats bounce Bearcats in annual backyard brawl
|Friday, November 01, 2013 8:31 PM
By TREY SMITH
DHI Correspondent
SPENCERVILLE — Jefferson traveled to Spencerville Friday night to compete against the Bearcats in one of the premiere rivalries in high school sports in the state of Ohio.
The Wildcats likely secured a home contest in next week's playoff opener with a 35-21 victory in a Northwest Conference tussle.
Jefferson (9-1, 6-1) also secured a tie for the league title.
Jefferson came into the game without sophomore linebacker Dalton Hicks in the starting lineup but showed no letdown in their defensive tenacity, stopping Spencerville on their first drive of the game.
After the Bearcat punt, the Red and White began their opening drive at their own 15. Jefferson made short work of the possession, going right at the Bearcat defense with a balanced offensive attack and scoring on a 1-yard run from Zavier Buzard.
Spencerville received the ball at the 40 after the ensuing kickoff bounced out of bounds and seemed to be gaining a little momentum after the Jefferson score. However, Ryan Kerby sparked the Wildcat defense with a tackle in the backfield on third down. Spencerville attempted to convert on the fourth down but was stopped at the line scrimmage by a host of Wildcats, giving Delphos the ball.
Jefferson ended the first quarter with possession of the ball and a third down at the 5-yard line. After getting the ball down to the 2, Spencerville held strong, stopping the Wildcats on a fourth-down attempt at the 1.
The Bearcats had very little turf to work with and were forced to punt from their own end zone after yet another stand from the Jefferson defense. The Red and White set up shop from the 33 in Spencerville territory. The offense continued to make short work of its drives, this one resulting in a touchdown pass from Austin Jettinghoff to Ross Thompson. Kurt Wollenhaupt added the PAT , extending the Jeffcat lead to 14-0.
Spencerville bobbled the following kickoff but picked up the loose ball and returned it all the way down to the Jefferson 37, their best starting field position of the night. They were able to capitalize on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Mason Nourse to Anthony Schuh.
Delphos ended its ensuing drive with a punt after a 3-and-out. The Bearcats regained possession at the 30 but again could not get much going against the Jeffcat D. After a 3-and-out, the Wildcats received the Bearcat punt with 1:26 left in the half and three timeouts. They had to use one timeout after a sack by the Bearcat defense with 58 seconds left. The play following the timeout included a connection between Jettinghoff and Thompson, resulting in a 60-yard score.
Jefferson's defense contained the Spencerville offensive attack and sent the game to halftime with the Wildcats leading 21-7.
Jefferson started the second half on offense. It didn't take long for them to get hot again. They picked up five first downs on 15 plays and used up over half the time in the third stanza, capping off the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run from Buzard on fourth down to up the lead to 28-7 after Wollenhaupt's kick.
The Spencerville offense possessed the ball for the remainder of the third quarter and continued its drive from the 25 of the Wildcats to start the fourth. The Bearcats found the end zone for the second time on a Nourse pass to Zach Goecke from the 6, reducing the Wildcat lead to 28-14.
"There were a lot of bright spots for us this season; I'm very proud of our seniors this year. Now we need to get ready for next year's off-season; we played a lot of young guys and will have some new holes to fill," commented Spencerville Coach John Zerbe.
Jefferson gained control of the ball at their own 30 after the Spencerville kickoff. They continued to eat up the clock by attacking the Spencerville defense with a healthy dosage of rushes and first downs, with Jettinghoff finishing the drive by hitting Thompson in the corner of the end zone over the top of the Spencerville secondary from 15 yards out, extending the lead to a commanding 35-14 score.
The Bearcats went to their hurry-up offense with time running out, scoring with 2:45 left on a Schuh 12-yard run and adding the extra point by Logan Vandemark.
Spencerville was forced to kick and recovered at midfield. They were backed up to their own 43 after third down due to a personal foul — also a loss of down — and Jefferson regained possession after an incomplete pass.
Jefferson entered the victory formation with a minute left and kneeled the clock out, sealing the win and a share of the NWC title.
"I was very proud of our guys tonight; they were resilient and bounced back after last week and came out here and got the job done. I'm proud for these kids bringing home a share of the NWC title for the first time since 2001," commented victorious Jefferson Coach Bub Lindeman.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Five more employees recently lost their jobs at the Peoria Riverfront Museum.
Museum Board Vice Chairman Dan Daly says the staff reduction aims to bring costs in line with revenue.
He told members of the Peoria County intergovernmental committee the museum has hired a consultant to enhance control of the finances.
Records show the museum lost nearly $290,000 in the first 10 months of operation.
Daly says work is underway to boost attendance and rectify the deficit.
"We're looking at both the short tem and long term," he said. "What's important is to get the museum on solid financial footing and then maintain that. So again, it's a new business, expectations are we need to make progress in the next fiscal year, which we will."
Daly says a budget will be finalized next week so it can be presented to the county in August.
