- Sit under the starsWytocaDined on 8/27/2014Faz has the most delightful outdoor dining. You sit outside among the redwoods with a view of the stars. A rock waterfall providing a nice backdrop and a feeling of privacy. It is one of the nicest outdoor spaces in the Bay area.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/27/2014We were happy with our experience. The only advice would be that waiters should get the right dish to the right person. I ordered medium meat in my hamburger as did one other guest. The third guest ordered medium rare which is the plate I was given. By the time I received my plate the other person had taken a bite so I ate part of my meal and left the rare. I brought these three ladies to Faz because I always like the outside patio ... so did they. It was their first time at your restaurant. Two of the ladies are from out of town. The third lady and myself are from Danville.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/6/2014We recently celebrated a birthday and Faz for the bill for a great lunch! The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. The menu offers a balance selection for every palate. To sum it up in one word - tasty!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food / Slow ServiceHappyDinerDined on 7/29/2014The menu has many great selections and the food is great. Great ambiance and setting. Friendly service, but very slow. On a slow weeknight, it took 50 minutes to get our entrée. The complimentary pita and sauce were not a great substitute for a very slow kitchen. Will definitely return, but only when I know I have enough time to waste an hour or so before eating.Special Features:
- Consistently Excellent RestaurantGritboyVIPDined on 7/26/2014We have been patrons of Faz Danville for 20 years, and it always delivers excellent food and service in a very inviting atmosphere. The outdoor dining is the best in the East Bay, with a large enclosed deck, graced by several tall redwood trees. The salmon is always superb - the best we get at any restaurant. Danville has many excellent restaurants, and we dine out a lot. Faz is among the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always ReliableTravelgurudanvilleVIPDined on 7/25/2014We have been comingto Faz as long as the restaurant has been here, 25 or so years. What do we love? The beautiful outside deck set among huge redwoods and the tables set far enough apart so conversation is easy without having to strain to hear or needing to talk loud. The food is consistent and the nightly specials have always been good...particularly the fish. But the rest of the menu has not changed over the many years we have been frequenting the place, and while good, it would be nice to see it updated. It was nice to see some fresh new wait staff who were attentive, enthusiastic and excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingstevejsDined on 7/22/2014Faz, it seems, has gone downhill from how it used to be. We visited the restaurant on a week night when it was not crowded and, despite this, received poor service overall. Our waitress did not take our order for almost 30 min., did not bring our drinks without several reminders, and did not check to see if our meals were okay once we received them. The rack of lamb we ordered was cooked rare, instead of medium-rare. At $32, this was not acceptable. We enjoyed one of the desserts (the chocolate pecan torte), but the other dessert was covered with a chocolate syrup, rather than a house-made chocolate topping, and disappointed. Though we have enjoyed dining at Faz in the past, we probably will not be back given this most recent experience.
- Surprisingly Poor Service1UnluckyExperienceDined on 7/22/2014We came in for our Anniversary, asked to sit outside but weather changed and ended up inside. Ordered the Rack of Lamb. First time it came out Well-done, Second time it came out Raw. Asked to speak with the Manager, and was told "No Manager on Duty". Could talk with either the Hostess or the Bartender. Wife ordered 16 oz. Tee-Bone Steak @ $32.00, and was told they were out, and substituted Filea. I was amazed that they charged the same price as Tee-Bone, and it was a very little piece of steak. Waitress offered to give us a Free Desert, brought it to the table, and spilled the cream. Thankfully, they did not charge for the Rack of Lamb. This was the first time this ever happened, maybe not a good idea to go during the middle of the week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Downhill, needs a revampOpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 7/19/2014The place could be great with the right people running it, needs a makeover bad. The outdoor setting could be awesome if they fixed it up. The old wood deck needs replacing, the tables and patio chair need replacing. The food quality needs improving, the items on special were good, but nothing from the menu were worth the price. I might return only for drinks to enjoy the patio, but that is it.
- Great local spotluv2eat4meDined on 7/10/2014The ambiance and service was excellent. Food was very good. Wine options excellent. The Thursday street fair blocked traffic access, unless you knew the alternate route. Therefore, the restaurant traffic was light. It meant we got extra attention. Would highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Caymanmama43VIPDined on 7/9/2014Food was good, ambiance by the water feature on the deck lovely, but the service was very slow. Then at the end of the meal, we were never asked about coffee and dessert. We had to request the menu and then wait again for the one dessert to arrive. In fact, one of our group had to leave before dessert or the check arrived.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gorgeous outdoor seating!!Micheleb0706VIPDined on 7/5/2014My husband took me there for a special birthday celebration with another couple. It was simply perfect! A tiny bit noisy, give we were sitting outside right by the musician. Conversation was a little stretched...but that is so minor, I would not even call it a complaint. The food and service were top shelf. The ambiance sitting outside was perfection.Special Features:
- Intimate DiningKtDansrVIPDined on 6/20/2014Have enjoyed Faz for several years, for different occasions. Have attended several wonderful parties, both formal and casual. Food and drink service always exceptional. Bar service has always been top notch, whether ordering food or not. Table side service for 2 always seems to be slow as that must not be their top priority. My only complaint is the lack of vegetarian (preferably vegan) entrees. There are 2 items I can order without major modification. I'd love to see the chef get creative with vegetables! Us plant based diet folks are fast growing in number based on concerns for global warming in addition to health concerns. We'll be back as we dine out in Danville every Friday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special dinnerScooterDined on 6/15/2014Great setting in the trees. You'd never know you are in the middle of town. Nice range of dinner specials on top of an already-great menu. Great food. Waiter adjusted a number of items to accommodate dietary preferences. Very nice evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Graduation Dinner CelebrationHungryDinerDined on 6/13/2014Had a wonderful meal out on the beautiful patio. The service was taxed to the limit with the big crowd, but everyone was very pleasant and the food was delicious.Special Features:
- simply awful2000sfdinersDined on 6/13/2014Our white wine was warm when brought to table - we were told refrigerator was broken and told to put wine in ice bucket and wait for it to chill. Background musician thought he was giving a concert - music was very loud. Service was awful. Do not waste your money or time.
- Special that wasn'tWildaboutBoarDined on 6/13/2014My husband keeps telling me that at FAZ I have to stick with the pasta and other Mediterranean dishes. I ordered a fish "special" and it was so bland and boring I would have been embarrassed serving it for dinner at home. The crab cake disappointed as well. What has happened to FAZ???
- Danville Delighttreat2eatVIPDined on 6/13/2014Great wines, great food, great service. Very enjoyable experience.Special Features:
- DisappointedDWhiteDined on 6/7/2014We have been to Faz in Danville in the past for special occasions but this was by far our worst experience. The medium rare New York steak was very well done and we sent it back. Their expensive duck dish was dry. The chicken kabob was also dry. Because of the problem with the steak, the chef sent out a complimentary dessert dish for us to share but we would have rather had them take a portion off the bill since it was our son's birthday and we already had a homemade cake waiting for us at home. The patio tables and chairs are so old, outdated and dirty, I felt hesitant to sit down. They could update their outdoor furniture and clean it up a bit back there. We won't be back at those prices.
- Never againNotafanDined on 6/6/2014The staff was incompetent and inconsiderate. We left after drinks and went to another restaurant. The whole buzz at neighboring tables was about how disorganized and sub-par the service was. I have never waited so long for a drink.
- ServiceAnniversaryDined on 6/5/2014Service s very slow. WE have been to this restaurant several times and the service has been slow all of those times. The food this time was ordinary. We went especially for the steak and were disappointedSpecial Features:
- UpdateOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/31/2014The outdoor patio had a nice ambiance but it may be time to update the patio furniture especially the tables / chairs to compete with other restaurants in the area.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/21/2014We were disappointed in the food. My wife and another in our party ordered a lamb entree. It did not taste good nor did it smell good. I think our waitress said they had taken it off the menu. A reliable restaurant would not have had it on the menu in the first place.
- A wonderful experiencegrassfedloverDined on 5/20/2014The rack of lamb was one of the best dishes I ever had. Served whole after being roasted in a wood burning oven, seasoned superbly with just the right touch of garlic and fresh herbs, served a medium rare as I asked. A rack from a small, young animal, not the old lamb that is so common today. Tender, so delicious I would take a bite, close my eyes, slowly chew the wonderful meat, and savor the experience. Served with perfectly roasted potatoes, crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. The broccoli and carrots also served were simple, yet delicious. Friendly competent service. The food took awhile to arrive, but tasted freshly cooked, not reheated. We enjoyed the view of redwoods while waiting. Relaxed and happy after the meal.Special Features:
- cfsimDined on 5/13/2014love the outdoor patio! The drinks were great and food is consistently yummySpecial Features:
- JulietDined on 5/11/2014I wish that I would have known that it was a buffet for Mother's Day Dinner. I was a bit disappointed by the food and very steep price for the Adult meal ($42.99).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and ambiance at Faz4myfamilyoutingDined on 5/11/2014A great place for lunch or brunch, good service, excellent ambiance and reasonable price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day BrunchMarkDined on 5/11/2014The buffet was messy, food was not being replenished, food scrapes on the floor and around the dishes. Typical of a buffet the food was not had in some cases. Was a bad experience for Mother's day. We have had dinners there before without issue, but this was horrible. We expected expensive, but at 200 dollars for 4 people we had higher expectations.
- Wonderful!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/11/2014I took my mother here for brunch on Mother's day and it was outstanding. The food was delicious. There was a wide variety of items to choose from. But the service is what sold me. The wait staff was very attentive and sincere. What impressed me the most was Jonathan. He stopped by our table on more than one occasion to see how we were doing and to see if there was anything we needed. There was one hostess who was not very friendly and I just attributed that to the fact that maybe she didn't want to work on Mother's day.Special Features:
- great brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/11/2014We had a really great Mothers Day Brunch at Faz. The service was great, the food was great and we enjoyed out selves. The only downside was that we were first sat outside. The tables were too short (we are a pretty tall family). We requested to be moved indoors, which they happily did. The carving station was very good, buffet was great and we enjoyed ourselves.Special Features:
- Wonderful food, Gorgeous settingJimboDined on 5/11/2014Fa's has long been a favorite for the wonderful outdoor setting among the redwoods, and for the delicious mediterranean fare. They did a wonderful job with mothers day brunch. All the traditional brunch fare, but also the worlds best baba ganoush, and a delicious selection of cheeses.Special Features:
- Oops... time for a server class!OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 5/10/2014Terrific in the past but awful tonight! It's simply a cardinal sin to bring the main dish within SECONDS of serving the salad AND THEN LEAVE IT on the table for guests to fend for themselves. Worse was not checking back to remove the salad plates that needed to be stacked at the end of the table after finishing salads so the orphaned main dishes could be 'served' again. And the specific request for a glass of water with no ice for the guest with sensitive teeth-- should be a really easy one to get right [or ask of the busboy] before heading over to the table that just sat down to push some cocktails. Alas, 'twas just not your night this time. Dessert and coffee? No thank you-- not worth the risk it this time through.
- The following 728 reviews are from the Faz Danville reviews archive.
- Disappointing foodWallyDined on 5/2/2014The crab cake appetizer was served lukewarm. The pizza was cold and doughy. My wife sent it back. We weren't charged for the pizza, but it was still very disappointing, since we have come this restaurant for years.Special Features:
- Great food but perhaps understaffedJJJJDined on 4/26/2014We've been to Faz many times. This past time the food was definitely up to our expectations, but the service left something to be desired. We sat for a long time waiting to order and finally had to flag down a waiter (not ours). We'll probably go back anyway because of nice ambiance and good food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday eve at the FazDDAdventuresVIPDined on 4/25/2014The food was good, yet could have used a bit more creativity. I sat with a group of 5 people and we decided to sit in the lounge area to hear the live musicians. A saxophonist and pianist alternated and played some lovely tunes. We all ordered entrees and wine. The Faz prepares traditional seafood, pasta, and meat dishes with accompanying potatoes or pasta. Wish there were healthier alternative such as quinoa. The vegetables were simply steamed veggies and wished that they could put a little more creativity with them. The liked that provided a good price range of dishes. I had the seafood pasta and there was nothing fancy about it. Surprisingly, they close promptly at 10 pm and were told we had 5 minutes to finish up on a Friday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FAZOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/24/2014Great restaurant with excellent service and atmosphere... Managers and staff check in regularly with patrons and location is great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall: ExcellentBomboDined on 4/24/2014Beautiful outdoor environment; courteous and attentive staff; delicious food; warm, comfortable ambiance; spacious private parking lot.Special Features:
- Faz at lunch was sub-parWBWGYVIPDined on 4/21/2014I had an Open Table reservation and no one even greeted our party for about ten minutes. It appeared that they had one server working lunch and he had his hands full. Surprisingly the food was good - which is what I remember from a decade ago - ...but they need to work on having adequate staff or close at lunch. I won't be back any time soon...sadly.
- Hpy2bout2eatDined on 4/20/2014Service was horrible. Horrible The food lukewarm at best and very picked over. Not replenished. So not worth the money. It took us asking three times to even get water. Forget about coffee. Many other choices for brunch. Next time we will pick another
- Love This PlaceRobertDined on 4/20/2014I have been coming to Faz for over 15 years. We Love This Place. I would suggest that anyone looking for Great Food and location go to Faz.Special Features:

Two men are in custody and a cache of assorted weapons seized after authorities saw their vehicle nearly collide with a cement barrier in Phoenix.
The driver, Michael Doyle, 30, and his passenger, Christopher Dewey, 26, were placed in handcuffs, searched and booked into jail on 14 counts of misconduct with explosives, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
When the DPS officer approached the vehicle near U.S. 60 and 91st Avenue on Aug. 27, the lawman saw Doyle was wearing a ballistic vest and had large bulges in his pockets, DPS said.
A large number of weapons and explosives were discovered inside the vehicle. They included:
Officers said they also found a set of handcuffs in Doyle's back pocket, a pipe bomb with a red fuse in his front pants and a ballistic vest.
Seven complete improvised explosive devices were discovered and rendered safe by the State DPS Bomb Squad.
Detectives, working with the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office and the Northern Narcotics task force, located Doyle's estranged wife. During a police interview, she said that Doyle considers himself a sovereign citizen, DPS said.
During a search of the home, detectives said they found a cassette tape with Doyle talking about killing and doomsday. They also found Molotov cocktail devices and a 30-06 scoped rifle.
Doyle and Dewey also face two counts of misconduct with a weapon and use of body armor during commission of a felony.
A records check showed Doyle's license was suspended, DPS said.
They were booked into the Maricopa County Jail.

N.C. State's Bryant Shirreffs will transfer, a spokesperson for the Wolfpack's football team confirmed Wednesday.
Shirreffs, a backup quarterback last season, ran for 158 yards and a touchdown and threw for one touchdown in a "wildcat" role as a freshman. He was moved to fullback in the spring.
Shirreffs told the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Herald that he wants to play quarterback and he didn't want to wait behind designated starter Jacoby Brissett at N.C. State. Shirreffs, who chose N.C. State over Yale out of Jefferson (Ga.) High, did not indicate where he plans to transfer. Joe Giglio

Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Steve McMichael has lost his bid to become mayor of the Chicago suburb of Romeoville.
With all precincts reporting incumbent Mayor John Noak received nearly 61 percent of the vote and McMichael received about 39 percent of the vote.
The outspoken McMichael brought much media attention to the mayoral election. He gained the support of his old coach Mike Ditka, who endorsed him for mayor and made headlines when he lost his job with Chicago's ESPN radio affiliate.
"The fact that all this publicity that came out of this, the Republican party should be jumping for joy that I made him and gave him a name," McMichael told FOX 32 News. "People know who he is now. Statewide. And businesses know Romeoville too now. That's what everyone should be happy about now."
McMichael moved to the village last year. He says he was prompted to run by his desire to help the district where his 4-year-old daughter will attend school and conversations he's had with customers at his sports bar, Mongo McMichael's. It was his first time running for public office.
Noak says he was honored Romeoville voters put their trust in him for another four years.
"I think people have recognized what the community has been able to accomplish during these tough economic times," Noak says. "We've been a very successful community over the last four years. I think it's really shown and I think our residents have seen that day in and day out. One of the things we're most proud of is the residents have been involved in the success and I think that shows tonight."
McMichael says he'll run again in four years and might have a better chance then.

In 2010-2011 the college began a courageous conversation about stereotypes and how they affect our work with each other – as teachers, staff, managers and students. The goal of this project is to help each of us achieve to our full potential and to build relationships that will help narrow the achievement gap at our college. The college will continue its work on this issue with a focus on mentoring in 2011-2012.
The Project was inspired by the book Whistling Vivaldi and Other Clues to How Stereotypes Affect Us by Claude Steele

This documentary tells the story of residents of a Long Island village taking action after a local immigrant is killed in a hate crime attack by seven teenagers. While starkly revealing the trauma of hate, the film provides a blueprint for people who want to do something before intolerance turns to violence.

Dave Iverson interviews social psychologist Claude Steele, provost at Columbia University, former professor at Stanford and author of Whistling Vivaldi, on KQED's Forum program. "Stereotype threat," being in a situation where a negative stereotype about your group could apply, pervades American life, according to professor Steele.
Bay Area African-Americans Examine 'State of the Race'
A group of Bay Area non-profits, businesses and African-American leaders will gather for a "State of the Race" convention to discuss strategies to improve the quality of life and economic status of local African-Americans. The meeting follows the release of data indicating high levels of economic distress and Black population flight from some Bay Area cities.
Reducingstereotypethreat.org was created by two social psychologists as a resource for faculty, teachers, students, and the general public interested in the phenomenon of stereotype threat. This website offers summaries of research on stereotype threat and discusses unresolved issues and controversies in the research literature. Included are some research-based suggestions for reducing the negative consequences of stereotyping, particularly in academic settings.

PEORIA, Ill -- The Peoria Police Department and the City Council are making some changes to the department.
Monday night, Peoria Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard told council members he filled two of the three funded residential officer positions. That's the program where officers would live and work in high crime areas.
Two officers will start in May, working on the East and West Bluffs.
First District councilman Clyde Gulley said by not putting an officer on the southside, the city is missing the area that needs it most.
The Police Chief said he couldn't get anyone to work there.
"I was only able to get two officers to come in, and those two officers wanted to work those two locations that we had already identified," said Chief Settingsgaard.
Councilman Gulley said, "If we couldn't find an officer that would move in those areas, that should be a sign of what's going on in the neighborhoods there, if no one would take that opportunity."
Part of the savings from the open position will go toward a $75,000 contract with John Jay College of Criminal Justice for services involved with the 'Don't Shoot' program.
The rest will go to the re-instatement of the Assistant police chief position that was eliminated in 2009 due to budget cuts.
Chief Settingsgaard hopes to fill that position in the next few weeks.

Two people were beaten during a robbery in Gurley over the weekend.
Investigators said James Howard Stewart beat a man and a woman at their home on Childress Street, Saturday.
They said he forced his way inside the home and beat the couple. He didn't take anything, but he appeared to be under the influence of drugs, according to investigators.
The victims were taken to the hospital. The woman was treated and released, but the man is still recovering with non-life-threatening injuries.
Their names have not been released.
Neighbors who heard the
commotion rushed to the couple's aid and held Stewart down until deputies could
arrive and arrest him.
They said as Stewart was being held on the ground, he
called himself God and said he was going to kill everyone.
Stewart was charged with two counts of assault and one count of burglary. This was not his first run in with the law; Stewart has several drug
charges on his rap sheet going all the way back to 2004.
He was booked into the Metro Jail on $90,000 bond.

TOWSON, Md. – Freshman guard Dominique Johnson scored seven straight points during a stretch of 75 seconds late in the second half, lifting the Tigers to a 69-60 Colonial Athletic Association win over Hofstra on Tuesday night.
The victory was Towson's second win in a row.
Johnson began her outburst with the Tigers nursing a one-point lead and less than three minutes to play. The freshman guard connected on a three-pointer to extend the Tiger advantage to 59-55. Moments later, she hit a runner off the glass with 1:28 remaining for a 61-55 advantage.
When she made another jumper with 56 seconds left, she gave the Tigers a 63-55 lead. That eight point advantage proved to be too much for Hofstra to overcome.
"The kids worked really hard and played really hard tonight," Towson head coach Joe Mathews said. "We made some huge plays at the end of the game."
The Tigers clinched the win by scoring 17 of the game's final 25 points as they posted their second straight victory.
Junior guard Tanisha McTiller's lay-up with five minutes left tied the game at 52-52 and started the closing run for the Tigers (9-16, 3-11 CAA). McTiller finished as the game's leading scorer with 24 points while adding eight rebounds.
The Tiger defense limited Hofstra forward Shante Evans, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, to just 10 points and 11 rebounds on 4-of-12 shooting while she battled foul trouble in the first half.
The Tigers also received a solid effort from junior forward Nyree Williams, whose 14 rebounds and five blocks were each game-highs. Her five blocks tied a career-high, which was also set against Hofstra in February, 2012.
Although Hofstra's bench outscored Towson's 10-0 in the first half, the Tigers were an efficient 13-of-27 (48.1 percent) from the field in the opening period. Williams hit a key three-pointer, the first of her career, to cap a 7-0 run and give the Tigers an early 9-7 lead.
The Pride shot just 35.1 percent (13-of-37) in the first half as the Tigers took a 29-27 lead into halftime. It was the first time since Nov. 28 against Coppin State the Tigers led at halftime.
For Johnson, the reigning CAA Rookie of the Week, it was her fifth straight game in double figures. Johnson finished with 18 points and five assists.
Candace Bond led Hofstra (12-13, 8-6 CAA) with 16 points and had five rebounds and four steals.
The Tigers have a quick turnaround as they face the James Madison Dukes at 7 p.m. on Thursday night in Harrisonburg, Va.

On this marvelous journey, experience the rich history and visually stunning scenery of Great Britain, famous for its castles and countryside seemingly untouched by time. Explore the city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to a variety of theaters, museums and other cultural venues. Take a trip back in time in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare. Wander the venerable streets of Oxford, home of the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Visit Windsor Castle, the world's oldest and largest inhabited castle, experiencing both historic treasures and modern-day life as you travel through the storied English countryside.
Day 1
After disembarking the ship, enjoy a leisurely drive to Bath, passing by Stonehenge on the way. Founded by the Romans as a thermal spa and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bath boasts some of Europe's finest architecture in an absolutely gorgeous setting among the rolling green hills of the Avon Valley. The preserved Roman remains, including Bath's famed complex of hot spring-fed baths, stand in stunning contrast to the elegant Georgian homes so characteristic of Bath.
While driving through Bath, you will also see the charming 18th-century Pulteney Bridge, the only bridge in England with shops on both sides. Its other interesting features include three arches and a central Venetian window. Following your panoramic drive through town, you will have time to explore the traffic-free heart of the city, an area full of enticing museums, cafes and shops.
Continue north into one of the most quintessentially English regions in the entire country: the Cotswolds, known for its gentle hills or "wolds" and beautiful villages constructed of honey-colored limestone. One of the most delightful villages that you'll pass along the way is Castle Combe. Its houses are typical Cotswold style, constructed of stone with thick walls and roofs made from split natural stone tiles. Many of the homes are listed as historical monuments. Castle Combe may look familiar, as it was a setting for movies such as "War Horse," "Stardust" and "The Wolf Man."
Castle Combe is often called "The Prettiest Village in England," which is quite a statement considering the other beautiful villages in the Cotswolds, including Bilbury, where you will stop to see Arlington Row, a group of 16th-century cottages overlooking the river. You will also pause for photos in Lechlade on Thames, Burford, and Northleach, eventually arriving in in Cheltenham Spa, where you will spend the night at the Ellenborough Park Hotel or similar.
Day 2
After a full English breakfast, drive through Broadway, a village with the Cotswolds' longest High street, and on to Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born and lived. Its layout is based on a medieval cross system, and many of the buildings are ones that would have been familiar to Shakespeare. As you drive down the town's characteristically wide streets, you will also pass Harvard House, the former home of John Harvard, who founded Harvard University.
Then, you will visit the nearby thatched farmhouse where Shakespeare courted his future bride, Anne Hathaway. Much of the furniture is original, including Hathaway's bed. Shakespeare and Hathaway married in 1582, when he was 18.
Continuing on via Chipping Campden and Upper and Lower Slaughter, you will enjoy lunch and then pass through even more villages. There is lovely Bourton-on-Water, a village built almost exclusively in the warm, yellow Cotswold stone and Stow on the World, the highest village in the Cotswolds.
Then, it's on to Blenheim Palace, home to the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. Considered by many to be England's finest palace, it has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace is also famously known for being the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, whose ancestor was given the palace as a gift after his victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704.
By late afternoon, you will arrive in bustling, cosmopolitan Oxford for a panoramic drive through town. It's home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world. You will spend the night in the center of Oxford at Cotswold Lodge Hotel or similar.
Day 3
After breakfast, head to Windsor Town and visit Windsor Castle, the official residence of the Queen. The world's oldest and largest inhabited castle, it stands on a chalk outcrop, rising majestically above the surrounding countryside. Walking along the immense courtyard of Lower ward, you will see St. George's Chapel, where 10 monarchs are buried. The castle's State Apartments feature painted ceilings, paneled walls, Adam-style fireplaces, classic furniture and priceless paintings and drawings. This magnificent suite of ceremonial rooms is used by the Queen to entertain visiting Heads of State.
In time, you will depart through the Henry VIII Gateway, which bears the king's coat of arms and that of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
After lunch, spend some free time in the main part of Windsor Town, which developed around the castle in the Middle Ages. There are plenty of quaint Georgian shops, houses and inns. The most prominent building on the High Street is Guildhall, completed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1689.
After exploring, you will drive to Central London for check in at the Mayfair Hotel in London or similar. Spend the rest of the afternoon and the evening at your leisure. Or you make take an optional Thames Dinner Cruise. It must be booked when you book this post-cruise program to guarantee availability. The cost includes the return taxi transfer.

ADD TO Plan
Explore both cosmopolitan London and the quintessentially British countryside in the Cotswolds, admiring a variety of popular attractions such as Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and esteemed Blenheim Palace.
Disembark from your ship during the morning. A transfer will then be provided to your central London hotel, journey time approximately 2 hrs, subject to traffic conditions on the day. Please note whilst we will request an early check in, it is not possible to guarantee rooms will be accessible until 2:00pm.
The day is at leisure for some independent exploration of the city and all meals are on your own today.
Accompanied by a London blue badge guide, you will enjoy a full day of sightseeing, taking in many of the city's most popular attractions. They range from bustling Leicester Square at the heart of London's theatre district to serene Royal Parks, nested in the heart of the capital.
You will also have the chance to experience the pomp and pageantry of the Changing of the Guard, during which one of the Queens Foot Guard Household Regiments march from St. James Palace to Buckingham Palace. The event starts at 11:30am daily from April until July and on alternate days from August until April. In the event of heavy rain, where the ceremony does not operate, it will still be possible to view Buckingham Palace and the Horse Guards Parade, while your knowledgeable guide elaborates on this historic tradition.
Then, after a lunch of fish and chips in a traditional London pub, you will continue sightseeing by motor coach. You will drive through the Old City of London, passing the architectural masterpiece St. Paul's Cathedral before heading to The Tower of London, where you will see the Crown Jewels.
The Royal Regalia have been guarded at the Tower of London since the 14th century and exhibited for private viewing since the 17th century. Representing hundreds of years of British tradition and royal ownership, most of the collection has been used by successive kings and queens since 1660.
(Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions and times available at the Tower of London.)
By late afternoon, you will return to the hotel, where you can spend evening at your leisure.
Optional Theatre Package
A list of shows playing in London's West End will be available on request, and we will arrange for your tickets to be at the box office prior to the performance. Please check with RSSC or OCI Reservations for a list of available shows and for pricing on this optional add on package.
Tickets must be booked in advance of your arrival. Because shows are subject to availability we request that when you make your request for this package, that you list a choice of three shows in order of preference from the list that you receive. The producers of each individual show determine the booking period. This can be as far as 18 months in advance, or as little as 3 months in advance, it really does depend on the show. Thus if you wish to request a choice of three shows, your first choice or whichever is available will be confirmed once the booking period is open.
All tickets are allocated in best-available seats, but keep in mind that many London theatres are quite old and considered historic buildings.
Once tickets are selected and confirmed, there will be no refund for changes or cancellations. The theatre package also includes round-trip transportation between the hotel and the theatre in a private executive car.
When you arrive in London you will receive further details regarding your transfer time.
Today's excursion will take you out of London to one of the most quintessentially English regions: The Cotswolds, which is known for its beautiful villages and towns, rolling hills and countryside, stately homes, castles and magnificent gardens.
Departing London, you will head towards Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and perhaps England's finest palace. After journeying approximately 90 minutes, you will explore the palace's interior, visiting staterooms filled with exquisite examples of superb craftsmanship and priceless treasures collected over three centuries. Outside, you will admire the beauty and tranquility of the parkland, which dates from the 1760s, and the more recently designed formal gardens.
Afterwards, you will drive to Burford for lunch. Known as the Gateway to the Cotswolds, Burford has been deemed an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is protected by the Cotswolds Conservation Board.
The afternoon will be spent driving through the countryside, dotted with villages, hamlets, and small towns with buildings made from local honey-colored stone. You will also have free time to explore and shop in the villages of Bourton-on-the-Water, Upper and Lower Slaughter, and Stow-on-the-Wold, an oasis for art lovers.
Following this relaxing afternoon in the Cotswolds, you will drive back to London, which will take approximately two hours, depending on the traffic.
The remainder of the evening is at your leisure.
After breakfast, the morning is free for independent sight-seeing or perhaps a spot of last minute shopping in some of London's famous stores. Room check out is at 11:00am, however arrangements can be made for the hotel to securely store your luggage should you need longer.
A transfer will be provided to your departure airport to suit your flight departure.

A manatee calf was rescued Wednesday, Manatee Appreciation Day (the last Wednesday of March), from Bayboro Harbor in St. Petersburg. The 90-pound male orphan was brought to the David A. Straz Jr. Manatee hospital at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo suffering from cold stress. He is currently resting in a heated shallow water medical pool, and will receive around-the-clock care.
Officials say the manatee has taken a Pedialyte bottle from animal care staff, and has a good nursing response. His body temperature was low upon arrival, but has improved, and he appears more comfortable now in slightly deeper water.

(WMC-TV) - "They're upset about it. My wife is really upset about it," said the dogs and horse owner Marshall Ballard.That's how Ballard said he and his family feel about the recent death of his horse named Misty. Ballard said his three pit bulls attacked and killed the horse early Saturday afternoon."Evidently they chased her up into the fence and I guess when she turned into the corner, she stepped off into the net wire and when she got stuck she couldn't get out. She couldn't defend herself anymore," he said.It happened at Ballard's home in Desoto County near the Southwest corner of Highway 301 and 304 in Eudora.Neighbors said they were not surprised by the incident because it has happened before. According to Desoto County Animal Services, Ballard's dogs attacked and injured another horse belonging to Ballard two weeks ago. "It happened once before but we thought it was an isolated event, but they ended up doing it again," said Ballard.Now we're told the three dogs are in the custody of animal control."I've never had them bark at anybody aside from being outside. Never had them attack or try to bite anybody. My kids roll on top of them and play with them and they never even growled at them," said Ballard. "It shouldn't take a horse to die for somebody to do something about it. It's sad...it's sad!" said neighbor Charlene Faulkner.This can and does happen regardless of breed, according Memphis and Shelby County Humane Society executive director Alexis Amorose in a statement responding to this specific situation without details about the animals disposition.
"Such as the level of the dogs' socialization and whether they are spayed, neutered - it is difficult to offer any insight into what led to this happening. What we can tell you is that any group of multiple dogs is susceptible to a 'pack mentality,' in which their predatory instinct is activated.
Amorose said one dog becomes agitated and predatory, and then the others follow.
"It comes down to responsible ownership and stewardship: proper containment of your dog(s) and supervision of your dog(s) with other animals and people," said Amorose.Copyright 2012 WMC-TV. All rights reserved.

Former PSU President Graham Spanier Free on Bail
Former Penn State President Graham Spanier is free on a $125,000 unsecured bond after making his first court appearance since being charged in what prosecutors call a "conspiracy of silence" to cover up Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse crimes.
Spanier declined to comment on the charges as he entered and exited the courtroom for his arraignment Wednesday morning.
The judge ordered him to be fingerprinted, surrender his passport and stay in Pennsylvania.
He faces several charges including perjury, obstruction of justice and endangering ther welfare of children.
He's accused of conspiring with former Penn State administrators Gary Schultz and Tim Curley, who have also been charged in the case.
Commenting after the hearing, Spanier's attorney talked briefly about the prosecution's description of the case as a "conspiracy of silence."
"That is ridiculous. It is absolutely ridiculous. Dr. Spanier was never given a chance to speak to this grand jury to give his side of the story. And, we look forward to the chance to present his side of the story in the future," said attorney Elizabeth Ainslie.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next week, but Magisterial District Judge William Wenner indicated it likely will be delayed, possibly until January.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - The Miami Marlins continued the restructuring of their front office by promoting Michael Hill to president of baseball operations and Dan Jennings to general manager.
The moves were announced Sunday, two days after the Marlins announced that president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest and special assistant to the president of baseball operations Jim Fleming were ousted from the club's front office.
Hill, who has been with the Marlins for 11 seasons, started his baseball career as a draftee of the Texas Rangers 20 years ago. He was eventually moved to the Marlins position of GM in September of 2007.
Jennings, who had been the vice president of player development and assistant general manager, has been with the organization for 12 seasons.
Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria announced there would be no further changes to the senior executive team.
"It has always been our policy not to communicate publicly about people's careers until final decisions have been reached," Loria said. "For that reason, I wanted to wait until the end of the season to make these announcements. I hope this statement clarifies the situation and allows us to get back to the important work of improving our team for the 2014 season."
A few hours after the moves were announced, Henderson Alvarez celebrated his no-hitter in an uncustomary place -- the on-deck circle. The Marlins right- hander pitched the fifth no-hitter in club history, but was watching with a bat in his hand as Giancarlo Stanton raced home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Miami a 1-0 win over the Detroit Tigers.
Since moving into a new downtown stadium and removing "Florida" from their name, the Marlins have gone 131-193, including a 62-100 record this year.

Another Bogus NYT Story Baselessly Assumes Contraception Fight Hurting the GOP
On Monday the New York Times offered yet another unsubstantiated tale of the GOP scaring away female voters. Reporter Ashley Parker's story, under the headline "Romneys Court Women Alienated by Contraception Issue," not only fails to back up the headline, but contradicts itself.
The paper's own recent poll finding, buried by the paper last week, found most women oppose the Obamacare mandate that religious institutions provide contraception coverage. That tidbit from the poll didn't make it into Parker's story. And Parker didn't seem to realize the implications of a poll result she did cite: Social conservative candidate Rick Santorum is far ahead of the more moderate Mitt Romney among female Republican primary voters. If the paper's headline were true, wouldn't those "alienated women" be flocking to moderate Mitt instead of scary Santorum?
With the Republican nominating fight turning into a protracted slog for delegates that could potentially last all the way to the convention, Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, made an appeal on Sunday morning to a coveted group of swing voters in an effort to win the Illinois primary: women.
Unlike the headline, the text is suspiciously vague, implying that the fight over birth control and abortion is hurting the GOP, but never stating it directly, because the paper's own poll shows otherwise.
The Romney campaign is seeking to repair the political damage with women voters that advisers acknowledge has been inflicted by the Republican nominating fight.
In February, women were evenly divided between Mr. Romney and his chief rival, Rick Santorum. But in the most recent New York Times/CBS News national poll, among Republican primary voters, 41 percent of women backed Mr. Santorum and 27 percent favored Mr. Romney.
Mr. Romney is often introduced by his wife at political events, but her role has taken on greater meaning as the campaign looks ahead to independent voters, particularly women, who polls show have been put off by the candidates' rightward shift on immigration and social issues.
Parker only hinted that not all women are "alienated" by the Republican message.
While women are hardly monolithic in their politics, the Romney campaign is urgently trying to shift the conversation back to the economy from more divisive social issues.

Are running scared. The Obama mandate that religious organizations be forced to pay for contraception and abortions has failed in a HUGE way. They are trying to pick up the pieces of the mess and put humpty dumpty back together again the only way they know how...make up stories, hide statistics that they don't like and generally try and force the world to be the way they want it to be through their propaganda.
They are not publishing and airing facts, they are pushing their wishes and hoping that they can influence people.
