Rated 3 out of 5 by Trb123 Honeymoon Stay My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon last week and overall this is a very nice resort in a prime location. I am a Platinum member and since we were also on our honeymoon, I hoped that when I mentioned to the front desk that we were on our honeymoon they would treat us to something special - leave a bottle of champagne in the room or do something nice, at least. We didn't receive anything from the staff. I would not recommend eating here. Luckily Platinum members receive free continental breakfast, otherwise the continental breakfast was $21 and buffet $28 - which definitely by taste and looks, is not worth that price. It was also annoying every time we went to breakfast for at least 3 of the staff to ask if we wanted to upgrade to the buffet. Overall, the staff did not seem adequately trained or happy to work there and it reflected in their service. September 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry238 Upgrade to ocean view I don't usually think view upgrades are worth the expense, but this hotel is different. There were whales no more than 100 yards out from our balcony every morning. We saw dozens, including lots of mother and calf pairs. We could sit on our balcony in the early morning and see all sorts of whale behaviors. It was better than a whale watching cruise. February 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by STONEMAN924 The perfect Hawaiian Vacation It's rare to say a hotel stay was perfect, but this one was. Everything about the room was outstanding, the staff was most helpful & friendly and the Black Rock restaurant served us the best meal of our 12 night stay. Would not change a thing!!! June 25, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Trav4 Disappointed! After staying at this hotel 6 times over the last 40 years, I doubt we will ever return, as it is now tired, the quality of staff and service is poor, and the restaurant and bar options are limited, and food is of only a very average quality. March 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MauiSun Perfect Place to Stay on Maui The location can't be beat; right at the most scenic part of Kaanapali Beach. The hotel property is beautiful and has stunning views of the beach and Black Rock. And the views of the sunsets from the our room were amazing. If you want the perfect scenic place to stay on Maui, this is it. (Not to mention that the snorkeling right in front of the hotel is great and we frequently saw sea turtles there). October 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lplummer232 One of the best resorts on Maui! Please ignore the few petty, negative reviews you read on websites concerning noisy pools, outdated rooms, and rude staff at this resort. I can assure you after my stay that those reviews are ALL NOT TRUE! Sheraton Maui provided exceptional service from check in to check out, provided tasteful yet subtle room décor that was far from dated, was one of the most peaceful and tranquil locations I've stayed at in Maui, and catered to my every need. Upon arrival, they even upgraded my ocean view room to ocean front free of charge, which gave me the best view I've ever had on the island. My only minor gripe was that food is definitely on the pricey side. But close proximity to the great (and much cheaper) local food spots in Lahaina and Front street more than made up for that. Black Rock is also a remarkable location to be situated upon. Generally, Sheraton Maui exceeded my expectations in every way. 5 Stars! November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shell40 Simply beautiful hotel Arriving from Australia, my husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at your hotel. The professional, friendly staff ensured that we settled in quickly with everything that we may need. We had a lovely room and view in a beautiful location. We think this hotel, location and amenities cannot be beaten. Would love to return one day. Thank you to all. Shirley and Jeffrey. May 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Racquel1 Best Resort on EARTH! Let me just say,, we were blown away! The resort, staff, location,,and room was far more then we could have dreamed. The beach,,at black rock was unreal! Went snorkeling every day,,pool staff were awesome! Our suite was huge and super clean! In room dinning was cheaper then going out to some of the local places,, WOW! We will be spending all of our upcoming vacation time here! January 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by fred9 Sheraton Made our Day My wife and I celebrate our wedding aniversary at Sheraton Maui. This year was our 44th aniversary and we were pleased by the warmth and freindliness of the staff. The restaurant manager Marssia Solomit presented us with an anniversary cake and gift basket. The housekeeper (Emeria?)using flowers made a beautiful heart design on our bed. The location of the hotel is great. October 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by sp100 Hotel is nice but expensive - bring cash! The hotel facilities are very nice. But you have to pay to rent a chair on the beach! Coke is $5 for atiny plastic cup and plan on $30 per person in the am and $60 per person for any other meal. If coming to Maui - plan to eat out in Lahina - do some grocery shopping to cut down the cost. But the hotel was beautiful and in the most beautiful setting. Pool is not heated. February 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Dima2m Nice location - terrible service. If you ask for some service, be ready to get it next year. Asked last night to bring water to the room, which was overlooked by the room service for 3 consecutive days. Today, next day, still waiting. Could be faster to get it from local supermarket. March 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Smellyandunshaven Great pool - very pricy For platinium members it starts with the $30 per day resort charge, which includes a shuttle and towels. Pool equipment, snorkel rental and everything else is additional. Food is overpriced. So be prepared for a very expensive holiday. On the positive side the pool is great - the kids spent a lot of time there. Location on beach next to black rock is also excellent. August 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by zosia suggestions have map of hotel in room. Be sure always have enough beach towels. Enjoyed the stay. would return. location is wonderful. March 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kingston What Kaanapali Beach is all about. This is your location for the Maui experience. A friendly/knowlegable staff, best snorkeling on Kaanapali and a short walk to restaurants, shops, and local tours. Don't gamble, book it. March 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by STBJ Rest in Heaven This was our first trip to Maui and staying at the Sheraton made it the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday we have had in a long time. The location, the rooms, the pool and beach allowed everyone in the family to be able to enjoy themselves how they wanted. We would love to return to Sheraton Maui next year for holidays. January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by USDiplomat Worth a special journey Gorgeous property with beautiful landscaping and prime oceanfront real estate right by the famous Black Rock. It's the best location on Ka'anapali Beach for snorkeling and scuba diving. Rooms are homey and comfortable with standard Sheraton amenities. We had an oceanfront Ohana suite and it was lovely. Look forward to the daily rainbows and come with a smile! March 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beachlovers Fabulous beach hotel This is a well-kept hotel with a fantastic location. We had a room with pool and partial water view close to dining areas, etc. The snorkeling by Black Rock is great, and Whaler's Village is in walking distance. The luau on grounds was enjoyable, On the negative side, food was a bit pricey for the quality, and all extras seem to involve charges. August 15, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by caress pool under furnished! not enough lounge chairs around pool. Felt like a idiot trying to find a place to rest. No pool help. couldnt believe there was a charge for regular beach lounge chairs! one hour late for room got in at 430 and desk clerk was rude. waited 15 for seating at breakfast when their were tables ready. Out of many items at 930 brunch was below average March 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by chicago view we upgraded our room for $50 a night - money well spent. view was wonderful. everyday we would watch the whales - I can't say enough. it was great way to end our vacation. The hotel has a wonderful beach and easy walking to great restaurants. Evelyn at the front desk was exceptional. She went above and beyond to help us out - great employee. February 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GlobalRoadWarrior Best Hotel on Maui The hotel has one of the best locations on Maui. The rooms are steps from a great beach, and you can walk to many other activities including Whaler's Village. I think it was originally build in the 60's but has been kept up to date and is very classy yet relaxed. The staff is also first rate. They know how to make your visit very low stress. April 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by TJ1964 Excellent Stay This resort was beautiful with a great beach front. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. I will definitely stay here again. Only minor complaints . . . poor wifi in rooms and high food and beverage prices considering the cost of the room. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Perand Good value The Front desk staff could have provided more information but this is my second stay here and overall it is good value for money. The resort charge should be abolished though. The pools, restaurants, bars and proximity to the beach make it an ideal place if you want options to relax and chill out without having to leave the Resort. August 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Larken Perfect Honeymoon This was the perfect spot for our honeymoon. We enjoyed everything about the hotel (except for a few errant fire alarms). At the concierge desk, Summer helped us plan all our activities and gave us great insight and advice. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by paddlegirl1 Paradise My boyfriend and I are both blind and we knew we would need assistance from the staff at the Sheraton Blackrock. On a daily basis we needed an escort and the security/staff were so willing and eager to help out at all times. I would just like to say thanks especially to: Kalani, Orlando, Chad, Shaun, Bear, Pono, Frankie, Monica, Jennifer, Michelle, and Cheryl. Kalani went far and beyond my expectations in customer service. What I loved about this resort was the awesome pool and how it leads right to this spectacular beach. I love the boardwalk just right in between the pool area and beach, which leads to more beach and restaurants. The rooms were awesome and super clean. Just a recommendation for those who like to hear more waves and ocean sound opt for the ocean front instead of "deluxe ocean view". Overall, I would say that this has great location, awesome staff, okay restaurants, and it's so close to the beach. You can't beat that!! Highly recommend.... September 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by PattyMarie Pool Closed Private party closed the main pool during our spring break trip. It was very disappointing especially since we paid a daily resort fee. It would have been more managable if the managment had given notice to the hotel guest before we checked in. Too many other issues to list. We will be back next year and hope that it improves. April 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SeaSIx Sheraton Wowee Beautiful resort, perfect location, the staff and the food were wonderful. Internet access was slow and problematic - needed tech support 3 times. The food was very pricey - eggs benedict and an omelet for room service cost $66.00. OUCH! Nice that it was walking distance from Whaler's Village. December 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gary911 This hotel needs improvement Disgusted to find my bed was wet after a long day (12 hours) of travel. This event ruined our trip. We dreamed our trip back to Maui 30 years later would be much better. It took too long to rectify situation. In room phone was not functional. No hotel shuttle from airport cost us $100 just to get to hotel. October 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Terrapintravellers Best Location on the Beach We had a wonderful anniversary celebration at this very beautiful resort. Valet attendants were welcoming. The gentleman who checked us in went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay perfect. We felt that after having received correspondence ahead of time from a woman at the hotel that our anniversary would have been acknowledged. It was not. However, the same man that checked us in more than made up for the missed opportunity. Overall, we felt this particular property needed a bit more training in the guest relations department. The staff at the pool bars and indoors were friendly and attentive and so were the delicious food and beverage selections. The location for the beach was awesome. The Whaler's Village was a lovely, short walk for breakfast. The pool areas were delightful. We enjoyed floating around on the huge floats at the pool and the waterfall! The cliff diving show was cool. Fun stuff, great weather and a gorgeous property. We had a truly memorable time! December 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DiscoDes Anniversary Trip I have to say that this was a trip long comming due to unforseen delays but when I arrived at the Sheraton it was worth every delay! Our experience was wonderful and as a meeting planner I'm very hard to please. Our gift to my son and fiancee for their honeymoon in 2015 is a stay at the Sheraton! April 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Austinite Amazing Location From check in to departure the staff was courteous and helpful. The location is perfect with beautiful views and a wonderful beach. The pool bar/restaurant was great. My only complaint would be the $5 Room Service charge to bring towels that should have been left by housekeeping to start with. February 6, 2013

Ports: Portland a nice city port
BarHarbor: One of the MOST beautiful places I have ever been too.
St Johns: You have GOT to be kidding!! I LOVE Canada, but this is NO vacation spot. Why would any ship ever stop here?? It offered zero on the excursion we took.....boring, dirty, old, falling apart port city. They should
spend two nights in BarHarbor.
Halifax: Nice stop, of course great people. Did I say I love Canada??
This was my first time on an inside room on RCCL, second in my life. Room was acceptable, small but adequate. The beds?? HARD AS A ROCK!! And I mean HARD!! They did bring us an eggcrate topper which helped immensely.
The Crew: This is where RCCL really shines! The best, plain and simple.
Portifinos: We ate there on night 4, dinner was good, steak was fantastic, appetisers were tasteless.
All in all, I still had a good time and a $400 bar bill;)
The ship nickle and dimes us on every corner, perhaps they might consider cutting their 45% cut on excursions so that we may enjoy the cruise and attend more often...

The U.S. Attorney's Office says a federal grand jury has charged a Tucson man with producing and using chemical weapons. FBI agents arrested 48-year-old Todd Russell Fries Friday morning.
Prosecutors say Fries is charged with prohibition against chemical weapons.
U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke says Fries developed and executed a chlorine gas attack that impacted an entire neighborhood.
The devices were placed in the front and back yard of a couple living on the northwest side of Tucson in August of 2009.
When ignited, the weapons produced a football-field-sized cloud of chlorine gas that hovered over the neighborhood and resulted in the evacuation of numerous families.

A local woman on her way to see "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" finds real-life drama on a subway platform.
Instead of the movies, she ended up in the hospital after a gun mishap right next to her.
This happened at 3:17 p.m. on the Market-Frankford Line platform at 40th and Market streets.
FOX 29's Omari Fleming reported live Friday night from Southwest Detectives that the man whose gun went off on the SEPTA El platform is cooperating with police. He's a security guard, and he also called to turn himself in when he saw himself on television.
In the SEPTA surveillance video you see 22-year-old Shirley Williams jump up from the bench, then touch her arm and face where she was shot while waiting for the El at 40th and market.
Police believe the shooting is likely an accident. They say it happened while the man next to her, now identified as a security guard, was rummaging through his bag.
You can see the two jump at the same time when the gun inside the bag goes off.
Investigators say the bullet ricocheted off the bench and wall then went through a trash can wounding Williams.
Because of the screeching trains, police believe the man may not have known what happened.
"He may not have realized he discharged a weapon because of the noise down in that environment," police Lt. John Walker said.
The security guard calmly walked away boarding a train.
The man was seen getting on an eastbound train, and for some time after the incident, police were stopping trains along Market Street in Old City as they searched for him.
But after seeing this video on TV, the 21-year-old security guard called in, police say. We're told they picked him up at a home in West Philly.
There was no immediate word Friday night on whether that security guard will face any charges. We've learned that the woman who was wounded was released from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania on Friday night.
We've also learned that she was on her way to take in a movie with a family member from West Philadelphia, Fleming reported.

Elizabeth Gillett Marion Tropical Palm Scarf 2 2
Scarf fabric not substantive enough for price I don't buy many scarves, but when I do, I look for better quality and consider them an investment (as opposed to a passing, trend item). The gold scarf's color was much less bright or deep than on my monitor and palm tree design more subtle. The size was great; the fabric is very soft (less substance, - feeling like it's all synthetic)... I'd rather invest in a piece that will stand the test of time and worth the price, from my perspective, -- though it was pretty and I'm sure would be of great use and fun, probably to someone younger :/.. March 13, 2014
Love this scarf! I ordered the navy print. It is lightweight and plenty long to be tied multiple ways. Depending on how it's tied it can appear navy or really light if the ends are tied up. It also looks great hanging long like the model! February 4, 2014

Arrests made in High Wycombe in relation to suspected 100k vat fraud
2:14pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News By Rebecca Cain, Reporter
THREE men have been in arrested in early morning raids in High Wycombe as part of an investigation into a suspected £100,000 VAT fraud.
Officers from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), supported by police, executed search warrants at six addresses in Buckinghamshire, Wiltshire and Middlesex in relation to VAT fraud involving the importation of luxury vehicles into the UK from the EU.
Three men aged 36, 36 and 47 were arrested at residential addresses in High Wycombe on suspicion of VAT fraud and money laundering.
Documents and computers were also seized for further examination.
The six premises searched were two business and two residential addresses in High Wycombe, one business address in Chippenham, Wiltshire and one residential address in Harrow, Middlesex.
Superintendent Gilbert Houalla, from Thames Valley Police, said: "This investigation is being conducted by HMRC and it is routine for Thames Valley Police to support other law enforcement agencies when they carry out arrests in our area.
"I want to assure my community that all arrests are carried out sensitively and proportionately."
If anyone has any information to report to HMRC about any individuals or businesses that may be evading their tax, contact the Tax Evasion hotline by calling 0800 788 887 or go to http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/reportingfraud/online.htm

3.15/5 rDev -12.5%
Located just off Rt 59 across from the Palisades Mall, the 'Shady Bevy' lives up to its name, both inside and out. Looks pretty ramshackle from the outside and musty and worn on the inside. This place won't win any interior decorating awards, that's for sure. The nicest part of the decor were the two dogs that run around inside, being friendly to everyone who walks in.
The store is split roughly in two, with the right side containing the standard BMC fare while the left side has all the craft stuff. Naturally, I migrated to the left and was mildly surprised at the selection they had. There's a decent number of breweries represented including Weihenstephaner, Rogue, Stone, Great Divide and Southern Tier. Nothing super rare from what I could see though. As so many other reviewers have stated, LOOK AT THE DATES. A lot of the stuff there is really, really old, just judging from how much dust is built up on the surface of the bottle. I found some Weihenstephaner Kristalweizen that was bottled in 2006, so it's definitely not something you'd want to buy now. Might be okay for some of the imperial stouts lying around, but certainly not for the stuff that needs to be fresh like weizens and IPAs. That's not to say that everything is ancient as the store does have some recent stuff, but you'd do well to check everything just in case.
Prices were pretty decent overall, nothing too extravagant. Rogue and Stone bombers went for $6-7 dollars, some of the 750mls like Chimay and Unibroue went for a little more. Not going to break your bank.
The lady who runs the store smokes CONSTANTLY, so you're going to be fighting the smell as you browse. She seemed nice enough, though. And her dogs are pretty adorable, so it's not all bad.
Not one of the better stores I've been to, on the whole. Cable Beverages in Bardonia is a better bet and just a few more minutes away. Might go back just to pick up some imperial stouts that have been pre-aged for me!

Ah, the rt 59 bevie, my first intro to beer in Rockland County. If I had stopped here before I moved to town, I would have run and never looked back. I will have to say that the selection here is pretty good, avoid ipas from here like the plague, they are at least a year old. Make sure to bring cash, as they take nothing else. Hope you don't mind dogs, as one wanders around, friendly one at that. No heat or ac, but it stays near 55 all the time. The owner knows what to buy. She gets things that are great with some age, and the dust will show you it all has some. Be prepared too look and dig, I've found some diamonds in there. I use the place as my personal cellar, but I love to share. Stop in and bring cash, you will be amazed.

Wow, this is kind of a crazy place but definitely worth a stop if you're nearby. Yes they only take cash. Yes there are absurd things here, like 6 year old IPAs covered in an inch of dust. Yes there are multiple animals walking around and the place is dingy and filthy. The lady who works here or owns the place is rather gruff on the phone but turns out to be a very friendly chatty sort in person...at least to me, but I'm exceedingly polite.
Do yourself a favor and stop in. The prices are at minimum competitive and often as low as you're gonna find. And there's some crazy stuff in here, as the previous poster noted. Got some Vertical Epic 09.09.09, Weyerbacher Prophecy, and some Thomas Hardy's from 2004 (5 bucks a pop). Random boxes are sitting everywhere; found some Bruery stuff (nothing too rare) stashed under a shelf; tons of English beer, some of which is retired. Courage RIS was a bargain (6 bucks maybe?)..
Long story short, stop in, hunt around, see what you find..you may be pleasantly surprised. And don't be afraid to ask the proprietess...she knew where things were that I hadn't come close to spotting.

First off...BRING CASH. This place is still cash only and I don't think that will change any time soon. Second...It's dusty and dark so just deal with it. Third...Don't go if you're allergic to dogs, there's 3 now(really big golden retrievers) but they're very friendly. Fourth...Just walk in the door and turn left. There's nothing to the right but BMC but hey I'm sure thats what keeps the place in business. Fifth...Check dates on bottles if possible and I'd really just advice to not drink anything that should be consumed fresh unless its a first time beer. Stuff sits on the shelves at this place undisturbed for years. And finally...Be ready to dig like its 1848 in California. You may not find anything right away but if you keep looking you'll find the golden nugget the size of a baby's head looking right back at you.
Now that the ground rules have been laid, let's talk about the actual beer. This place is pretty interesting when it comes to beer available. You'll find some nice older vintages of beers dating back up to 5 years or even more. My last 2 trips to RT 59 netted me an Avery 13th Anny, Stone VE 09(a case and a half of 08 was sold a week earlier to 3 different people and I know all 3, 1 friend was nice enough to split a bottle with me), an Oak aged Yeti that is at newest from late 2008 because its the old label, and singles 12ozers of Anchor Christmas 06-10. So yeah there's some nice hidden stuff here but nothing that was never available. It just happens to still be available here. And the best thing, it's the same price it was new. The Anchor's would have been $12.49 if I had a 6-pack so she prorated it out to just about $2 a bottle for up to 5 year old vintage beer. The prices are in a rolodex on the counter that itself is probably 20 years old and the prices never change.
This place is totally worth the trip, especially with Cable Beverages just a few miles away and DeCicco's about 15 minutes away across the Tappan Zee. So all in all not the best store but if you want something old, look here first.

Decided to finally garner enough courage and check this place out. Adjacent to Dunkin Donuts and across the Palisades Mall on Rt. 59.
Once you enter, there's stacks of new and old cases everywhere, littered amongst numerous bottles. The shelves are somewhat organized: domestic, Belgian, and German/English. There's a substantial amount of dusty bottles and cases everywhere, but it's made up by their incredible selection. Some notable gems I found were: Bruery 2 Turtle Doves, Cantillon Rosé de Gambrinus, Stone VE 09, Stone 07 Old Guardian, Stone DB, Thomas Hooker Liberator Doppelbock, Weyerbacher Thirteen, Rogue Monk's Madness (though I doubt they would be any good now), and Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel. There were also double magnums of Stone DB and Chimay Blue. I was hoping their Belgian shelf would've had more unexpected bottles, like Drie Fonteinen, DeStruise and/or Boon, but oh well. The one irritating thing about this store is that there are no price labels on the bottles, so you have to gauge what you're buying or keep going up to the register to ask. A big WTF.
There's so many unexpected bottles tucked away in corners, in dusty cases and in random areas. It took me like 30 minutes just to look around because of what I was finding. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a hidden, dusty, old case of Westy 12 and 8, somewhere in that place. Seriously a treasure cove if you fine tune your eyes and are willing to go through those cases without making a scene. I left with a bomber of 07 Rogue Chocolate Stout, Westmalle Tripel and a Unibroue Trois Pistoles. I'll definitely be back though; this place has stuff that my local doesn't. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted by Rt. 59 Bevy.
Definitely check this place out, no matter how bad it's rated.

All my friends call it shady bevy and I can see why. This place is sketch city. There are no prices on anything; all the prices are in a Rolodex next to the cashier. Of note, I use the term cashier in the most generous of ways, really it is just a person who yells at the two dogs that are there while you shop.
The selection is varied in the most extreme way possible. There is mo way to predict what you will find on the shelves under a quarter inch of dust. Some are jewels, some are 10 year old budweisers.
You will need a shower when you leave and it is cash only.

I know this place as the "Shady Bevy." I've speculated on more than a couple occasions that its a front for some other business- like Gino's in the back room running numbers or something. I also don't like having to rank the quality, service, selection and value because its been hit-and-miss with me.
Fist off: NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED. Who the hell in this day and age doesn't accept credit cards?? Do they not realize how much business they're losing because of this? This is a big part of where the speculation that its a front, comes from.
Selection: This location caters to the Bud/Coors/Miller crowd. These are usually the only stacks of cases not covered in dust or look the least beat up. However, to the left are the stacks/shelves of imports & micros. If you look, you can find hidden gems. Just there for the first time in a while yesterday and noticed Stoudts, Heavyweight & some Dogfish that's no longer made. Also limited editions from 2001, 2006... WTF? Also found 2 bottles of 2007 Utopia and was informed that she had just recently "finally" sold all the old Utopias that had been "sitting around for years." Again, WTF?? (as a side note, they were hanging out with a banged up Sam Adams Historical 4-pack that came out like three years ago.)
Value: Prices were a bit higher than I remembered. I think someone has clued the owner in to the fact that she has aged stock and is now looking to profit from it rather than be happy that someone's finally buying it as she used to be. Picked up a few bottles and glassware from a now-defunct brewery and where did those $$'s come from?!
Quality: As some of the stock has been sitting around for so long, who knows what condition its in. We've picked up some stuff there that's been good and have gotten stuff with funk growing on the cork. However, the owner will happily refund you for any not-so-good stock you may happen to get.
Its definitely worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood. Its just a weird place.

When I lived in Rockland this was known as the shady bevy. Several reasons for this. First they do not accept any credit cards which chaps my ass off the bat. Second their hours are very strange. You can go the same time on back to back days and they will only be open one day. The woman who runs the place is nice and so are her dogs. What is not nice is the fact that she askes for ID with a tone assuming you are underage (I am closer to 30 than 20). The selection is great but as stated you need to be aware of old product. One great example is I picked up a bottle of St. Paul double in 2006. The importer went under in 2001 so I know that it was at least a 5 year old bottle. Stoneware so no light got in+no harm. Better off going to Cable beverage which is just up 59 then hang a right and up 304 for a little bit. You might find a gem here though.

Every time I have driven by this dump it was always closed. I thought it was defunct, but after reading these reviews I thought I'd call to find out when they are open. And I was surprisingly pleased to find all of my favorite beers inside... some that I haven't been able to find anywhere else in Rockland. I bought two sixes of pale ale and they were both in good condition. The microbrew selection was pretty good; Anderson Valley, Smuttynose, Brooklyn, Magic Hat, Victory, as well as Sierra Nevada's IPA and Ramapo Valley's Gluten Free Beer. They also have a nice selection of imports as well. Convenient and reasonably priced, this place is a must stop for all BAs driving down the NYS Thruway. Remember to bring cash and find out when they are open.

Heed the warning, watch what you are buying. There was a great selection of beers, but you really have to take a good look at everything. I know some of the stronger beers will probably be good for years, but some of their items are definitely past their prime. My one great find was a bottle of Westvleteren 8, which wsas the last they had. I also picked up a gift pack of Belgians that was fairly priced. Again the same problem, most itmes with no prices. Its a pain to keep asking the prices of everything. Two things to remember, they close early (6PM on a Friday night) abd they do not take credit cards.

Feds cracking down on Denver area dispensaries
Federal and local authorities are conducting an enforcement action against marijuana dispensaries in the Denver area.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says they're executing search and seizure warrants but won't say how many businesses are involved or what they're being investigated for. The warrants have been sealed.
However, a statement from the office's spokesman says the Internal Revenue Service criminal investigations unit is involved in the action along with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Jeff Dorschner also says that the operation is in accordance with the U.S. Justice Department's recent guidance on marijuana enforcement.

It may be that the car signaled to turn right and the bicyclist didn't stop in time, so as the car was turning the corner didn't feel he had hit anyone. Yes, the car could be at fault, so could the bike rider. Sorry to hear the bike rider had to go to hospital.

By Douglas Moser
---- — METHUEN — A man who argued with his wife about his drug use took his neighbor's car and crashed it into a house off East Street yesterday, landing the SUV upright against a second-story deck.
The man, whom police did not identify, drove at high speed down Ashford Street and rolled the GMC Jimmy across East Street, witnesses said. The truck crashed through a fence and into a yard, where it came to rest against a second-floor deck standing upright on its rear bumper about a dozen feet from a small swing and slide set.
The driver fled on foot, but police found him nearby, visibly injured, and had him transported to the hospital. Nobody else was reported injured, and no one was at the home at the time of the crash.
Police Lt. Michael Pappalardo said police responded to reports of an intoxicated individual needing assistance on Oak Street at 11:57 a.m. The person left in a vehicle just before police arrived, and moments later police came upon the crash.
Witnesses called the police station and reported to the officers on the scene a "shirtless, bloody and apparently injured man seen running through the area," Pappalardo said.
An off-duty officer with a dog assisted in the search, and eventually found the man police suspected of being the driver in a marshy, wooded area off Annette Street. Police gave first aid assistance, and rescuers transported the man to the hospital.
Pappalardo said police have not yet decided whether to file charges. "The possibility of criminal charges does exist, but I cannot reveal the nature of the charges due to the ongoing investigation," he said.
A woman at the scene of the crash who identified herself as the driver's wife said they had just had an argument about his drug use. She tried to convince him to get help, but he became upset and left in their neighbor's Jimmy. The SUV was not reported as stolen to police.
Pappalardo said police had not determined what the man was under the influence of.
Martineau's Towing pulled the truck from the porch of the house, located at One Weisner Parkway and set it on its wheels in the yard before removing it. The house did not sustain much damage, though part of a railing on the deck was destroyed.
The Essex County Sheriff's Office also assisted in the search. Methuen Patrolman Kara McMenamon is conducting the investigation.

Report: Ford F-250 most stolen vehicle in America
After nearly a decade of being number one, the Cadillac Escalade has been dethroned by the Ford F-250 as the most stolen car in America.
According to a recent report done by the Highway Loss Data Institute, the Escalade's recent fall from the top may be do to its decrease in popularity and its new security technology.
HLDI Vice President Matt Moore said the security of General Motors vehicles has improved over the years.
"General Motors has put a lot of effort into new anti theft technology, so that may help explain the decline in the Escalade's theft rate,"
Below is a list of the top 10 most stolen vehicles between 2010-2012.

A better night's sleep for Down's Syndrome children
Scientists in the South are planning to carry out research that will improve life for hundreds of children with Down's Syndrome. They want to develop a simple screening programme for a type of breathing problem with long term risks.
Three quarters of children with Down's suffer from the condition when they sleep. Christine Alsford spoke to Jo Baddams from Totton near Southampton whose son Jack suffered with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and Dr Cathy Hill who will head up the research when it starts shortly.
You can make an enquiry about the research by e-mailing the children's charity Action Medical Research: email@example.com

Indianapolis — With just days to go before the deadline for a final budget bill, a new independent poll shows Republican Gov. Mike Pence may not have gotten much mileage for his travels around the state pitching his 10 percent tax cut plan.
The Howey Politics Indiana Poll released Tuesday shows just over 38 percent of Indiana voters support what the first-term governor declared his top legislative priority: a 10 percent reduction in the state's income tax rate.
The poll showed about 33 percent support a scaled down version of the Pence plan: a 3 percent cut proposed by Senate budget makers, while 17 percent opted for neither.
"It shows that after months of pressing the issue, the new governor has found little political traction," said Brian Howey, editor of Howey Politics Indiana.
The poll by Bellweather Research, a Republican polling firm in Washington, D.C., was conducted late last week, after the state's fiscal analysts released the April budget forecast that projected the state would receive an additional $290 million in tax revenues over the next 27 months.
Pence has spent much of his first four months in office pressing for the tax cut. When he found little support for it among the Republican-controlled legislature, he took to the road to ask Hoosiers for their support.
Pence's press secretary, Kara Brooks, said she'd seen the poll results, adding: "We don't comment on polls."
The Howey Politics Indiana Poll comes a week after the Americans for Prosperity Indiana chapter released its own poll that showed 46 percent of respondents favored Pence's 10 percent tax cut. That poll was taken after the organization, headed by a former Pence aide, spent weeks on an advertising and marketing campaign in support of the Pence plan.
Though the poll questions were worded differently, the Howey poll reflects the public sentiment found last December in a poll done for Ball State University's Bowen Center for Political Affairs, which found 64 percent favored investing the state's budget surplus in education and job creation over tax cuts.
Still, the governor is likely to get some version of a tax cut in the final budget bill: GOP leaders in both the House and Senate have said the final bill will contain about $500 million in a mix of corporate, inheritance and income tax cuts.
Other results
The Howey poll had Hoosiers weigh in on a range of issues that have been in the news lately, from decriminalization of marijuana (which most support) to the expansion of Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act (which most oppose.)
One of the more surprising results, Howey said, came to the question: "Do you favor or oppose requiring all gun buyers to pass a criminal background check, no matter where they buy the gun and no matter who they buy it from?"
Given that 47 percent of poll respondents said they had a gun in their household, Howey expected to see some opposition, reflecting the National Rifle Association's strong stance against the expanded gun background check bill that died last week in the Senate.
Instead, the poll found 83 percent said they supported expanded background checks, with 72 percent saying they "strongly favored" them. Howey called those results "shocking," considering how Indiana is portrayed by both Democrat and Republican politicians as a "God, guns and guts" state.
Some other findings from the Howey poll of Hoosier voters:
• A majority (55 percent) oppose Democrat U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly's decision to support gay marriage, after he'd publicly opposed it. The poll also showed the younger and more educated the voter, the more support voiced for Donnelly's position.
• A majority (54 percent) support the Common Core State Standards for K-12 schools that are under fire from conservative legislators in the General Assembly. Respondents who consider themselves the "most conservative" voters showed a split: 40 percent support Common Core, while 40 percent opposed.
• Support for decriminalization of marijuana has increased since Pence called for tougher marijuana penalties than proposed in a pending criminal code reform bill. Now, 56 percent favor decriminalization, up two points from October when an earlier Howey poll asked the same question.
• On expanding Medicaid coverage to the working poor under the federal Affordable Care Act, only 23 percent support that plan, while 48 percent support expanding the state's current Healthy Indiana Plan (for families that can't afford coverage.) Nineteen percent are opposed to any coverage expansion.

Losing three straight games to the Yankees when they needed them most hamstrung the Rays in their pursuit of the Red Sox. Now, teetering on the brink of extinction, the Rays managed to pull off a blowout of mammoth proportions, winning 15-8 (though that makes it seem closer than it was) by riding the bat of Ben Zobrist and the arm of their most promising young pitcher. In so doing, they moved to within two games of Boston.
Matt Moore is considered the best pitching prospect in all of baseball, and he had quite the first career start. Historic, even. For a rookie, and for anyone:
That's pretty crazy. It's worth noting that Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Alex Rodriguez and Brett Gardner were all given days off, but it's still impressive. If the Rays somehow do pull this out, it's not difficult to imagine Moore having an eerily similar impact to that which David Price did when the Rays went to the Series.
Moore went precisely five innings, giving up four hits and a walk, before yielding to his bullpen, which surrendered eight runs in four innings to a watered-down Yankee offense. Zobrist and B.J. Upton each went 3-4 with a home run and three RBI to propel the Tampa offense, which generated 13 runs in the first five frames.
Meanwhile, on the other side, this game meant nothing. The Yankees clinched the division Wednesday night, and are now in full rest-up-for-the-postseason mode. All three backup catchers — Jorge Posada, Jesus Montero and Austin Romine — saw action in this game (Posada at first base) and all hit. This is the only indecision concerning Yankee fans at the moment.
Bartolo Colon might have pitched himself out of the playoff rotation, giving up seven runs in three innings. After CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova, the Yankees might prefer rolling with Phil Hughes and Freddy Garcia over Colon and A.J. Burnett.

DALLAS — If you know yoga, you've heard of the "child pose."
How about the "newborn pose?"
"It's very beneficial, physical, cognitive development," said Debbie Freed, who teaches infant yoga in Dallas to students as young as three weeks old. "Yoga helps that for all these babies."
Some of the moves, implemented by the child's parent, have the effect of quickly turning a fussy baby into a serene child.
"Tears to smiles," Freed said.
She added that yoga also benefits a baby's digestion and sleep and eases colic.
"These poses create a stronger bond between them and their baby," she said.
And parents seem to agree.
"I think it's great for both of us," said Alyssa Spiegel, a mom practicing yoga with her son, Hudson.
"Just being able to have that eye contact during class and focusing on each other... it's nice," parent Sharon English said.

Starting in elementary school, each year I would decide what my "look" would be (unfortunately, some of the looks involved acid-washed jeans, oversized polos, and a few perms), and I would beg my mom to help me fulfill it at the mall. Luckily, kids' fashions are more chic than in my day, with many trends mirroring grown-up looks. If you have a tiny fashionista on your hand — or a daughter who needs a little direction in the style department — then consider this your back-to-school trend report. From neon and leopard print to quirky accessories and stomp-around shoes, these are the items your little girl should be rocking this school year. School Trend #1: Neon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who Should Wear It: Girls who aren't afraid to stand out! Why It Works For School: Color is always a great way to brighten your day, and neon is as bright as it gets. If your child needs a first-day pick-me-up, then neon is the way to go. Our Picks: J.Crew's silk rosette dress ($48) looks amazing paired with a jean jacket and a cashmere cardigan ($138). We're also loving The Cambridge Satchel Company fluorescent bag ($170, available in green, pink, and yellow), and Zorrro's neon pink pencil case ($42, also available in yellow). 1 / 6 School Trend #2: Animal-Print Skinnies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who Should Wear It: Everyone from wild girls to meek-as-a-kitten little ladies. Why It Works For School: Animal prints are this seasons' neutral. Wear them on your pants, and you can make everything from a plain white t-shirt to a contrasting print (stripes and oversized polka dots would work best) look cool. Our Picks: From left, leopard and snow cat print pants from Tractor ($38), J.Crew ($53), and Gap ($35, also available in purple leopard print). 2 / 6 School Trend #3: A Little Shine What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who Should Wear It: Aspiring rock stars and girls with a sparkle obsession. Why It Works For School: While head-to-toe shine is best saved for dress-up time, a little sparkle can totally work in the classroom. Just keep it confined to one item in your daughter's outfit. Our Picks: Awesome new subscription clothing company FabKids' Shining Star Leggings ($50 for a monthly subscription of three pieces), J.Crew's stripe sequin heart tee ($43), and Gap's sparkle stripe ballet flat ($30). 3 / 6 School Trend #4: Kick-Around Shoes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who Should Wear It: Girls who like to walk through puddles, kick soccer balls, and run fast. Why It Works For School: A cool pair of closed-toed shoes can take you through the Fall and Spring semesters and add style to even the simplest outfit or school uniform. Our Picks: Aigle's flower rain boots ($50) are almost too pretty for puddles, and their faux-fur lining will keep toes warm. Superga's metallic sneakers ($43, originally $60, also available in silver and purple) might be the coolest kids' tennis shoes on the planet. And J.Crew's polka-dot oxfords ($168) are enough to make me wish for kid-sized feet. (Seriously, J.Crew's kid shoes are killing it this season!) 4 / 6 School Trend #5: Quirky Accessories What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who Should Wear It: Any girl who wants to add a personal stamp to her ensemble. Why It Works For School: If your school has a strict dress code — or worse, a uniform — then quirky accessories are your best friend. Just ask Blair and Serena. Our Picks: J.Crew's glitter suspenders ($25, also available in navy), Oeuf's crochet flower necklace ($48), April Showers' Lina hairband ($28), and Sons + Daughters' Lenny sunglasses ($53) are all almost too cool for school! 6 / 6 School Trend #6: A Statement Jacket What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who Should Wear It: Little fashionistas with attitude — and girls who want to stay warm during recess. Why It Works For School: The playground can be brutal, so a girl needs the kind of armor only a superstylish coat can provide. Our Picks: Gap's trench cape ($55) is Nancy Drew combined with a dash of French ingenue. Splendid's Stripe Blazer ($58, originally $88) is made of cozy cotton and features two bright buttons. J.Crew's waxed cotton popover jacket ($98) has batwing sleeves that will look extra cool over a long-sleeved t-shirt. 6 / 6 27 7 12 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Kid ClothingKid ShoppingBack To School Back to School 31 Tips For The Best School Year Ever 6 hours ago How to Deal With Difficult PTA Moms (With Dignity) 12 hours ago 18 Healthy Sandwich Ideas That Make Lunchtime Special 23 hours ago 8 Stylish Updates to Your Childhood Back-to-School Classics 1 day ago School-Ready Apps For the Science Wiz 1 day ago Encourage Homework Diligence With an Inspiring Study Station 1 day ago Link Love Mom forced to stop feeding baby homemade formula — BabyCenter Blog The easiest ways to save on organic food — The Stir A look inside Fergie's second baby shower — Celebrity Baby Scoop Danielle Jonas debuts her baby bump — People Moms & Babies 7 light and fresh recipes to take you through Summer — FitPregnancy Does where you live affect your risk for PPD? — The Bump Where to find the best deals on school supplies — Real Simple Now this is how you announce a pregnancy! — HuffPost Parents

Governor Pat Quinn wants the state to send every homeowner a $500 check by this fall, when he hopes to win re-election.
The cash is supposed to soften the pain of his plan to extend the state's "temporary" income tax increase. However, the taxpayer watchdog Civic Federation declared Tuesday that Illinois can't afford it.
The Civic Federation's president, Laurence Msall, noted that despite the income tax extension, Quinn's proposing to borrow $650 million for the General Revenue Fund. He said one easy way to balance the budget would be to eliminate the extra $715 million cost of the checks-for-homeowners program.
FOX 32 News didn't find anyone on State Street Tuesday evening who recalled hearing about the proposal. As we started to explain it, many liked it, at first.
"I think it's a great thing. I think it's a damn good thing. Anything anybody can get these days is very, very helpful," said Chicago resident Eric Horton.
The $500 checks would not go to renters, but only to homeowners.
And there is a tradeoff.
Homeowners could no longer deduct their local property tax bill at income tax time, a deduction in some cases worth much more than $500. That was the point at which several homeowners who liked the program at first blush jumped off the bandwagon.
"Not a good idea. My property taxes went up 30% this year," said Chicago homeowner Mike Merritt.
"If it's taking away my deduction, yes, I think that would be less beneficial than keeping my taxes as they are," added Clem Carroll, another Chicago homeowner.
A spokesman said Gov. Quinn estimates 92% of homeowners would pay the same or less in net property taxes and 8% would pay more than they do now.
Watchdogs at the Civic Federation, though, said that was only one part of the tax story. They pointed to the impact of Quinn's plan to extend what was originally billed as a "temporary" state income tax increase. The Civic Federation said that, for any Illinoisan with more than $40,000 in taxable income, the tax bill would jump by more than the $500 rebate.
"It just seems like a very extravagant gift to be giving when the state's not paying its bills, when the senior services are being underfunded, when the people who take care of the developmentally disabled have to wait years for their bills to be paid," declared Msall.
Msall also said that before starting expensive new programs, Illinois should pay down its pile of unpaid bills, currently more than $5 billion.

I used wool felt in various colors for the backing fabric of my ornaments, though you could use almost any material. Consider using natural linen or even burlap for a more rustic style, or choose different colored cottons to co-ordinate with your existing holiday decor.
I used the Fiskars Circles template and drew around the 3.5" diameter circle onto the felt and cut it out.
Next, I selected some Fiskars Christmas stamps and stamped my design in ink directly onto my felt. I recommend trying out a few different designs on paper before you commit to stamping on to the felt or fabric. Also, test your stamps on a fabric scrap to make sure the ink doesn't bleed onto the fabric.
After placing the felt into my 3" embroidery hoop and securing it tightly, I began to stitch along the lines made by the ink stamped design. In order to accurately follow the inked design, I varied the number of strands in my embroidery floss. Where the inked lines were thin I used as little as two strands. With the thicker lines, I used three or four. Even using two strands, the floss was thick enough to cover the ink lines completely.
When your design is complete, thread a small piece of ribbon under the screw to hang on your Christmas tree or wall.
If you are anything like me, you might want to buy a few more embroidery hoops in different sizes right from the start, to save you the inevitable return trip back to the store for more supplies. I found this project a lot of fun and just had to make more!

In a tight spot: residents pitch ideas for Stevens Creek Trail
Original post made on Nov 21, 2012

Long time Mtn View residents should be the only ones allowed to use the trail.
on Nov 21, 2012 at 12:48 pm
The value of the Stevens Creek Trail is that it is a continuous trail. You don't have to worry about cars pulling out of driveways or running you down from behind. You don't have to worry about getting lost at poorly marked or poorly lit intersections. Sunnyvale, Los Altos, and Cupterino need to do whatever it takes to build the same type of trail in their cities. Making the trail more dangerous will ruin the experience and prevent many families from using the trail.
Gas prices are never going back to $3. Highways are getting more and more expensive to build and maintain. Bicycling is a much cheaper alternative for cities and citizens, if safe and convenient bicycle routes can be built. Do the right thing now. You may never get another chance.
on Nov 21, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Mr DePortum, why do you feel that only long-time MV residents should be allowed to use the trail?
