Ok, thank you very much. For some reason my IE browser refuses to recognise the font weights then. As long as others see it right.
This confirms why IE is not my best friend. :)June 4, 2014 at 2:17 pm in reply to: Google fonts not working in IE #274498
So based on your suggestion, Yigit, this is what I've added to functions.php:

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, Ismael.March 28, 2014 at 2:24 pm in reply to: Advanced layout editor to build your own blog layout? #244359
Just as loyalzoo said. Following those steps gives us a blank page, no matter what page we choose, it stays blank indeed.

I have been using multiple fullscreen sliders on one page for months now, it always worked perfectly fine until the latest 1 or 2 updates, where there seems to be a small glitch until you resize the browser a little.
If multiple fullscreen sliders per page is becoming a problem for future updates, then I'll be forced to use fullscreen color section, but that would mean I need to edit about 250 pages. That's why I would prefer it just works fine again. :)
Reason why I use a second fullscreen slider instead of fullscreen color section is simply because the latter wasn't available yet, back then.March 26, 2014 at 2:45 pm in reply to: Enfold Showcase #243363
Unfortunately it won't work. Thanks for the info, though. Perhaps one day it will be added to the theme by default.March 26, 2014 at 10:07 am in reply to: Fullscreen slider srcoll down bug – page 2 #243233
It should be the latest version, I probably just forgot to update the style.css file.
I've noticed the problem fixes itself by resizing the browser after it's loaded, but I can't add a message to my webpage telling visitors to resize their browser, now can I? :)March 25, 2014 at 10:17 am in reply to: Enfold Showcase #242610
Strange, that's where I looked and can't find anything even close to what you said.
Perhaps we're not on the same theme then. :)March 24, 2014 at 6:24 pm in reply to: Enfold Showcase #242233
And in which file would that be?March 24, 2014 at 6:11 pm in reply to: Enfold Showcase #242222
Hey Liminalty, nice site.
I like how the top menu bar disappears when you scroll down so only the main menu bar stays. I haven't seen an option for this, so can I ask how you did that?March 23, 2014 at 10:14 pm in reply to: Advanced layout editor to build your own blog layout? #241865
Hey loyalzoo,
I haven't offered Devin a login yet as I mainly just wanted to see how this works. The way I use it now does the job fine, I was just curious what the difference/benefit is. Apparently I couldn't get any information, so I'm left no wiser than before. :(March 21, 2014 at 9:45 am in reply to: Fullscreen slider srcoll down bug – page 2 #241067
Nope, sorry to disappoint you, but that's definitely not the case. As I said, it doesn't even happen only when I click that scroll down button. It happens even without clicking it.
It is there for sure, already 6 colleagues have reported this to me and I have it as well. Note that I'm using Safari on a Mac, but only one of those colleagues has a Mac as well, the others are PCs.
I guess I'll have to make a video of it, as it seems you guys keep denying this issue actually exists.March 17, 2014 at 11:33 am in reply to: Fullscreen slider button link to page removed? #238626
Why would I want to do that? Why use fixed url's when WordPress offers the ability to select a page to link to so the link doesn't break when that page url changes? Why would I use a primitive fixed url if the fullscreen slider always allowed it and now it's suddenly gone. Not only that, but it's ONLY gone for buttons, it still works for a link on the image.March 17, 2014 at 11:27 am in reply to: Fullscreen slider srcoll down bug – page 2 #238624
Updated to 2.6.1, problem is still there!March 14, 2014 at 10:57 am in reply to: Fullscreen slider button link to page removed? #237515
Not for me, it isn't. The reason why I noticed the button option is missing was because the button on my homepage stopped working after the update. I thought I had to redo some settings just like with the header settings, but it turned out the option is just missing altogether. Screenshots below (by the way, it would be very helpful to be able to upload screenshots through this forum).

March 14, 2014 at 10:48 am in reply to: Enfold Feature Requests #237513
Would you consider adding the same "scroll for more" button (now available for fullscreen slider) for fullscreen color sections?!
+1March 14, 2014 at 10:46 am in reply to: Enfold Feature Requests #237511
PLEASE add some social media short codes buttons or pre – styled custom sharing option on blogs and products.
I personally agree that it's strange something so basic as this is not yet implemented in an advanced theme such as Enfold. I dislike the fact that I am to find some third-party plugin just to add some sharing buttons that are quite standard on the web today.March 14, 2014 at 10:42 am in reply to: Advanced layout editor to build your own blog layout? #237509
I have changed the seetings of Enfold (static page: News; static page: select; …) and the Customize settings of WordPress itself (static page: News; static page: select; …). Nothing changes the empty page unless both are set to "select".
Is there any example/video of how this is done and what it does? What's the difference with doing it just the way I do now?March 13, 2014 at 6:14 pm in reply to: Advanced layout editor to build your own blog layout? #237087
Thanks murphy88, but in my case it's not about fixing a/the problem. I use it the same way you do, at the moment, and it works fine. I was just wondering what this new functionality offers and how it works.March 13, 2014 at 10:37 am in reply to: Enfold Feature Requests #236798
Enfold is a great theme but something is missing: nested columns for the builder
I have been struggling with this in the past as well. I can imagine this isn't an easy modification, but it would definitely be great!March 13, 2014 at 10:31 am in reply to: Advanced layout editor to build your own blog layout? #236794
Logically yes, but I do have a blog element on that page, that's why I don't understand why it isn't showing anything. It just disregards everything in my layout. Here is the entire code of my News page:

The city's annual criterium — that means serious bike race — returns Aug. 7, but first up is a VIP raffle. The professional bike race, sponsored by Presbyterian Hospital, benefits brain-cancer research. A new wrinkle this year is the raffle, with three winners to be selected on race day. Tickets cost $100 each and are limited, with 400 to be sold. Prizes include dinner for eight in your home prepared by a Johnson & Wales chef and an entertainment package with suite seats for both the Paul McCartney and Carrie Underwood concerts, as well as tickets to the Broadway musical 9 to 5. Details at btfcnc.org.
Dem pitch is a long and winding road
Leaders of Charlotte's Democratic National Convention bid decline to comment, but TT hears a site visit could be coming later this month — and in concert with an appearance by former Beatle Paul McCartney at the arena on July 28. Whispers abound that DNC reps might be treated to seats at the McCartney show while they're here scouting the city. The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority has a suite at Time Warner Cable Arena, which, coincidentally, would be the main site for the Dems' 2012 party if Charlotte is selected.

Thinking Out Loud
I need some new craft tools. Okay, maybe "need" isn't entirely the right word, but you know what I mean. It would be nice to have the tools I feel I need, though I'm sure my life will go on swimmingly without them. It has so far!
On the one hand, yarn which has been wound on a ball winder takes up less space. I have a lot of hanks and skeins of yarn. Sunday, I will be getting yet more yarn (and crochet and knitting needles), that belonged to my recently deceased cousin. I barely have room for the yarn I already own, so anything that makes it easier to store would be awesome. If I wind it all into center pull balls by hand, I will be at it until the day I die, so a ball winder would be nice to own. Cheap ball winders are cheaply made, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's not to scrimp when buying tools. You just end up paying more in the end. While I'm not inclined to pay $200 for the best ball winder ever, because once the heavy lifting of balling up my and my mother's yarn stashes is done, the thing isn't going to get used a lot. Therefore, I have picked out a mid-range $50 ball winder that gets good reviews and will probably do the job I need it to do for the rest of my natural life.
On the other hand, I've really been enjoying working with wire and have an eye to eventually making myself (and maybe my friends and family) some jewelry I designed myself. Would make some awesome Xmas presents! Problem is some of the wire working tools I own are not appropriate to the delicate task (because I have used them for more industrial purposes where mangling the wire isn't a problem), and I lack a few tools that would really make the whole process easier and the outcomes better. Also, better wire would help. All of these things add up to $50. Amazing isn't it?! I swear it's like everything always adds up to $50 these days.
So I've been debating with myself on the merits of buying one thing over another. Sure, I could probably afford to buy both, but they haven't yet genetically engineered a tree that spouts dollar bills, and I'm not yet made of money myself, so I prefer to be as frugal as possible … and I'm trying to trim down the number of "things" I own to simplify my existence, so just buying everything all the time is like the antithesis of that philosophy. No matter how much I might WANT (or, you know "need") all the things all the time, I can't let myself just buy them all. My house is too small, and my bank account isn't that large either. Also, they aren't really necessary for my existence, like say food and utilities.
In the end, the thing I should spend $50 on is silver paint or ink and black acrylic to get to work on the project I have decided will be the first use for that roll of primed canvas taking up space in my living room. I don't know if any of you remember this little painting I did some months ago (exceedingly long blog post about it here).
I've decided to go ahead with the gallery wall filling series of interconnected paintings based on this tiny little thing. Possibly even some metal sculpture work as well in the same theme. People love this little painting (as do I), and of all the work I have been doing, it's the one that won't leave me alone. It keeps screaming MORE DO MORE AND BIGGER at me. So I'm going to do just that. But to do that, I am going to need a lot of black paint, and I need to do product testing to find some silver ink or paint that will be easier to work with and better than Sharpie markers (nothing against them, I love them, but on the scale I'll be working they won't do). So that's what I should be buying, but I'm pretty sure all that paint and the new brushes I'll need are going to cost significantly more than $50. In fact, I'm sure I don't want to think about how much it'll cost.
So … I might as well spend a piddling $50 on either yarn organization or wire working, right? It's not going to make a dent in the major project in the long run. And like I said in the post I linked to above, I can't really start working on large canvases until such time as I have gotten my workspace in order, and because I am in the middle of doing just that (this week I have begun tackling the closet which contains more art supplies than it does clothes creating madness in my whole home), obviously anything that brings me closer to being ready for working on this project is technically money spent investing in said project! Right? RIGHT?! You know you agree with me. My logic is impeccable.
Therefore, the correct choice for what to spend $50 on is clear. I should buy the ball winder, so my yarn takes up less closet space, thereby allowing me to move things taking up room in my workspace into the closet, which will facilitate my being able to work on large canvases and get moving on this project.
Justification complete! A ball winder it is!
So Much Depends Upon…
I Can See!
I've needed new glasses for a while now. My old ones were very old, and they've been dropped, sat on, chewed by cats, and had all manner of other tragedies befall them during the two years I've had them. Also, I'm quite blind, so I'm wearing my glasses all the time. In the past, I only ever had one pair, and needing to replace them was always a huge crisis, because yo, glasses are expensive. Except now they aren't, because Zenni Optical is awesome. No, I haven't been paid to say that. I really am a big fan.
A few years ago, I desperately needed to get new glasses with an all new prescription, and faced once again with the only option of choosing one frame that would have to go with everything I do and wear and paying far too much for them, I decided to find other options. Ordering eyewear online was still pretty new at the time, and even though I was only spending a tenth of what I would have spent locally for a single pair (and getting multiples of pairs), I was pretty nervous about it. I mean, if they totally sucked, I'd have waited weeks to get them, and returns or corrections would be a huge hassle. But, I did it. I ordered the cheapest glasses I could and waited for them to arrive.
When they did, I was amazed. The frames were no worse in quality than what I had paid many hundreds of dollars for (just the frames, mind you), the lenses were nice, and the prescription was perfection. I swore to never buy glasses anywhere else again. And what's really funny is that I'd ordered some pretty funky and fun frames, because I hadn't intended them to be the actual glasses I would be wearing everyday. These were just test glasses. But … I fell in love with them and wore them to pieces. When it came time to get new glasses again, I didn't even have to think about it. I ordered them from Zenni. When Mom was going through two years of cataract surgery and needed weird new prescriptions every few months, we turned to Zenni (and saved almost two thousand dollars). I am a firm believer that everyone should be buying their glasses from them.
So since I've needed new glasses for a while, I've been stalking their website for months. The holdup was mostly me agonizing about whether or not to get bifocals or stick with my two pairs of glasses for two functions way of doing things. It wasn't so much me having any hangups about bifocals meaning I'm getting old. It's that bifocals require lenses and frames that are much larger than I prefer to wear. They are also more expensive (a whole $50 at Zenni, so really, not expensive), which means having fewer pairs, and I like having eyewear options. But then I got an email in early July announcing a buy two get one free sale at Zenni, and since I hadn't yet found any frames for bifocals I was totally in love with yet, I decided to stick with my usual way of switching between glasses or just dealing with the fact I can't read tiny print while out and about. I mean seriously, how could I pass up a sale like that!
First I picked a duplicate pair of my daily wear frames. I love them so much, and I was thrilled they still had them. They suit my coloring and match most of my wardrobe. Don't mess with perfection!
If they'd still had the frames for my reading glasses, I'd have bought a duplicate of them too, but they didn't, so I picked something I'd been thinking of getting for my daily wear pair. Clear half frames. Turns out, I love them, and I'll probably be getting a pair for distance vision too.
I thought about getting a new pair of sunglasses, but my old ones are still in great shape, and I don't need two pairs of sunglasses. Since I would be getting this pair for free, I thought I'd go wild. It was hard to pick something that wasn't in my usual color range, but there was one pair I kept going back to. Green, blue, and yellow … with rhinestones. I was sure I wouldn't like them much, but what the hell. They were going to be free, and they could sit in a case for emergencies should something happen to my main pair. Well, I love them. Sure, they don't match any of my clothing, but they look fabulous! I'll just wear them with black things until I find some shirts to match my glasses. LOL!
So yet again, Zenni has given me the ability to see clearly in all instances and do it with some style. How much did I pay for these three pairs of vision correction devices? $30. Had it not been a sale, it would have been $45. That's why I will always buy my glasses from Zenni. They are such a bargain!
For real, this has not been a paid announcement. People need glasses, and it's ridiculous how much glasses cost at all the usual eyewear buying places. Even the cheap ones aren't cheap, and once you get into speciality prescriptions, none of them are cheap. I love Zenni, and while I rarely go on at length about brands or stores, they are the exception, because they are awesome.
Wire Experiment #3
Not Much…
So Orb, what have you been up to lately?
Not much, and a whole lot! All at the same time! I'm amazing that way.
The removing of useless stuff from my existence continues. I'm getting really good at getting rid of things. When I started this whole thing last fall, I should have made marks on the wall for every overstuffed trash bin, recycling bin I lugged to the curb to keep track of how much stuff I have tossed out of my life. As well as the bags and boxes that have gone to charity. I'm down to the closet area of the bedroom, my art supplies, and the library of books I rarely touch anymore. That's a few more weeks of work, no doubt. Then there's the Box Room (i.e. my future studio). I'm pretty sure that's a two-person job (some large and heavy stuff and some stuff not belonging to me). Hopefully by the time I get to it, I'll be an expert at decluttering and tossing things out.
I had to take most of last week off from life due to the air everywhere being full of pollen and spores (and other things like dust and ash) that make me feel wretched. Soon enough it'll be ten thousand degrees outside when summer fully arrives and every living green thing will turn brown and die, so I'm not actually complaining about the plants breeding so heavily. I guess I have a love/hate relationship with nature. If only there could be all those pretty plants and flowers without all that nasty sneeze and congestion inducing pollen. Can't have the good without the bad I suppose.
I've also jumped fully down the Surrealism rabbit hole and have been intensely studying surrealist techniques and games. Nothing much that I would call art has come of it yet, but I'm enjoying the experimentation and learning new things, so … it's better than not working on anything artsy at all. I have finally decided to give up on oil paints though. I just don't enjoy working with them as much as I do acrylics. They don't feel right to me, and I don't have another 40 years to get used to them. Best to stick with what I know and try new things with them to expand on my already acquired skill set.
Aside from these things, I have also very recently (like this week) begun to try my hand at making wire jewelry! There's definitely a learning curve, and it feels a little steep at the moment, but I'm just doing it for fun and leisure (and to maybe have some unique and cool jewelry to wear), so no stress or pressure. It'll probably be like knitting and sewing … something I get out and do for a while and then pack away for a few months until the mood strikes again. I knit during the winter, sew in spring, so maybe wire jewelry will be my fall or summer activity.
Actually, my fall activity should be writing. Wow, I have not been writing AT ALL this year.
Anyway, here are my first two attempts at making rings. They aren't all that, but I'm rather pleased with myself. The most important thing is that I'm having fun with it. Well, fun mixed with a bit of aggravation. So it goes with all new endeavors.
That about sums up what I've been up to. Other than bill paying, house cleaning, cooking, doing Sunday brunch, reading on my Kindle, cat herding, and managing my crazy family members (and solving their many problems). Oh, and playing some Skyrim (I finally started a new game) and Game of War. So yeah, I've been doing a lot, just not much of anything exciting or terribly productive. Except the life decluttering. That's been the most productive thing EVER. Someday I hope to be free of all the useless things I have moved from home to home my entire life!
And now back to your regularly scheduled blog silence. LOL!

The tagine is something of a unicorn in the kingdom of food. Many people will recognize the word as referring to a stew of Moroccan or other north African provenance, but it also refers to the pot in which the stew is cooked. And, though you may be an inveterate Moroccan-restaurant-goer, chances are you've never seen the tagine pot in its full glory. Read more »

Heresy is the true spice of life, and it was with this thought in mind that I sat one evening in Bar Bambino, a two-year-old wine bar in a most unlikely location a heretical location? and had a beer. The beer was a Moretti but also dark, a La Rossa. I'd never before seen Italian dark beer, either here or in Italy, and, truth be told, I didn't know the Italians even brewed dark beer. The party of the second part, a beer skeptic, reached across the table to take a sip from the large, shapely goblet.
"Mmmm! That's good!" was the verdict. Read more »
Fish might not need bicycles, but does a restaurant with an Italian name need pasta? Terzo does offer fish on its menu and pasta too, though rather glancingly, considering that many of us would put pasta right at the center of Italian cuisine. But despite the name "terzo" means "third" in Italian and is meant to suggest the public spaces where people gather when they're not at home or work Terzo isn't quite an Italian restaurant.

Although Brick shuffled off this mortal coil toward the end of April, it did leave part of that coil behind, in the form of an impressive brick wall.

For a small restaurant, Contigo is physically complex. As you enter, you glide along a six-seat food bar at the edge of a display kitchen, while beyond the host's checkpoint opens a two-level dining room enclosed by white oak banquettes, like the remains of a Viking ship. (The wood was actually recovered from a Connecticut barn.)

When Hawthorne Lane became Two late in 2007, I quietly mourned. The original restaurant had been, from its opening in 1995, one of my very favorite places in the city none better and when you are sitting on top of the world, where is there to go but down? The idea of attracting a younger clientele made a certain steely-eyed business sense; nearby Bizou had become Coco500 largely for this reason, so there was precedent. Read more »
Nopalito might or might not offer "far and away the best Mexican food in the Bay Area," as a hyperbolic toot harvested locally and posted on the restaurant's Web site contends I say not but the food is very good. The menu card, moreover, gives a brisk tutorial in the persistence of Indian language and culture in Mexico and is worth scanning just as an intellectual artifact. Read more »
Waterbar is, obviously, a seafood house, but it doesn't shout this fact in your face. The building is handsome in a generic way, and the interior décor is notable mostly for its artful blend of bustle and hush. Read more »
The words "Korean" and "barbecue" might never be woven into an eternal golden braid to compare with Gödel, Escher, and Bach, but they are definitely interwoven, perhaps even fused. When you say you want Korean food, you almost certainly will be understood to mean the kind served at the barbecue joints that line Geary Boulevard in the blocks just east of Park Presidio.

Rated 2 out of 5 by James99 Hotel with potential that falls short on recognition We are SPG Gold members and stayed at the Westin Miyako Kyoto from May 24-26. The hotel is very large and seems to be focused primarily on package tours and groups, not business or individual leisure travelers. • Check-in was at 3:00 pm or afterwards – our request for an earlier check-in, even by an hour, was denied. • The room we received was a standard run-of-the-mill room at the end of four long corridors, not an "enhanced" room that is supposed to be offered to SPG Gold members. • The reservation email advertised that we would have a Westin "heavenly bed." We did not have this in our room, at least one similar to other Westins – rather it was one of the firmest mattresses without give I've encountered in a hotel in a while. • The SPG Gold Amenity was not offered to us at check-in. I had to work with SPG customer service afterwards to liaise with the hotel and even then did not hear from the hotel even after two outreach attempts by SPG customer service. • This Westin charges for gym use for Gold members and below. I find this micro-charging for frequent guests inappropriate, and inconsistent when compared with sister Westin properties in Japan, like the Westin Nagoya Castle, which offers use of the gym and pool as a courtesy to Gold members. • The highlight was Ms. Chieko at the Concierge desk, who was very helpful with reservations. • On another positive note, the hotel did agree to a late check out of 2:00 pm. All in all a rather disappointing experience from this Westin, and it's one that I won't be returning to any time soon. June 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JasDeb Poor Service and Amenities We travelled there from Australia for our honeymoon and were sadly let down by the Hotel in several departments compared to Starwood's other hotels. Considering we had paid over $500 AUD per night to stay there, it was especially upsetting. As we had stayed with Starwood before, for considerably less price, we had very high expectations! While the Hotel is located in an excellent position for sightseeing, that was about the only positive. Yes the staff were friendly but when you pay so much money for a room, you have certain expectations on the level of service and the quality of the room. The only thing they gave you was free WiFi. 1) They offered no recognition, discount to my wife and I that we were Starwood Prefered Guests. 2) They had no english speaking channels or TV programs in the rooms. 3) They had no inhouse movies for guests. 4) We thought their bike hire would have been complementary but they charged us $2000 Yen a day. 5) The rooms were very poorly lit and needed renovation. 6)The buffet breakfast they supplied was second rate. All the hot food was unedible due to being cold. 7) Basically the hotel had no atmosphere and made you feel unwelcome. 8) Finally, the price for room service meals, in house laundry services and bar prices for drinks was exorbitent and excessive. 9) Communicating with staff was hard as their english was limited from the staff I spoke with. We felt so strongly about these things, we ended up checking out early and rebooking at a hotel further down the road with better facilities, for half the price. While locals might think the hotel is great, I caution foreigners from staying there for the above mentioned reasons. December 12, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by MassMutual Dated, poor management, expensive for what it has to offer They would not honor the Starwood special offer that I got in the mail. We did not like the room, it was dated, the drapes and carpet were old and the bathroom was small and needed updating, so we wanted to shorten our stay to four days from four. We asked to speak to the manager who refused to do anything about it, the manager did not speak hardly any English, which is absurd in an international hotel in the city of Kyoto which is very touristy. The management was inflexible and again refused to honor the Starwood offer for an upgraded room and access to the Executive Lounge, and refused to refund the credit for the fifth night, although the terms and conditions read that there was no penalty for canceling a reservation until that day. Aside from our bad experience the hotel is way off the major tourist areas or the center of town, there is precious little to do in the area and hard to find a nice restaurant nearby. The restaurants in the hotel are ridiculously expensive, around $50 for a buffet dinner per person but they had nothing to offer, all the platters were nearly empty. The hotel it self is really dated and old fashioned, the lobby is a disgrace for a hotel that charges those prices, it is something out of the 70's. The only good thing about this hotel is that they provide a shuttle bus to the train station. April 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by epie Below Starwood standards The hotel is not to the standards I've experienced in the 20 plus years I've stayed at Starwood properties. The carpet in the room was soiled and worn, the walls were marred and the couch was worn. I would not stay here again. July 13, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gil24 NOT WESTIN STYLE This hotel is well located and very nice. However, this is an AMERICAN Hotel where is hard to find good English Speaking People. I went to the Gym, they charge for it. I ask for Gym apparel they do not have. This room although clean was old and not up to Westin Standards March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Napafan Perfect Location for Visiting the Temples in Kyoto This place is amazing. In addition to spectacular grounds, the rooms are exquisite. You can request to stay in either a typical Westin room or, a traditional Japanese room with Tatami mats in a building separate from the main hotel. The view from the SPG club allows you the chance to take in Kyoto's unique sky-line. From here, you can tour the temples along the Philosopher's Trail and, walk through the traditional Geisha neighborhoods. Ask the concierge for their help and they will set you up with any reservations that you need. November 23, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hamab Outstanding Service by An Excellent Staff Mr. Yuji Osawa, Front Desk Manager, greeted us upon our arrival and had everything set up for our first visit to Kyoto. He also arranged for our baggage delivery to Haneda Airport prior to our departure. Chief Concierge, Ms. Kaori Kato, made our Kyoto experience something we will always remember. When none of the kimono shops were available, she was able to negotiate a time slot and arrange to have our daughter get an appointment. We are so grateful for the extra attention that Ms. Kato gave us. When we go to Kyoto in the future - we will definitely stay at the Westin Miyako Hotel. April 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by cucu1965 Nice with some shadows... On the good side: the location (nice view over the city, close to the metro station, nice temples within walking distance); the shuttle service; the restaurants; the executive lounge; the kind and professional service. On the less good side: the lounge is often plagued with crying babies; the hotel seems to live on its past glory, and needs renovation. June 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bruin83 spg member room they did not provide me with the spg member preferred rooms. instead rather clumsy room. other than that, it was o.k. also, had to ask to bring the bathrobes. did not have them inside the room. not Westin style! October 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Princess Great location and surroundings Stayed 2 nights here. Hotel is quite old but this cannot be helped and is the same for most places in Kyoto. The location is away from the city centre, but still extremely good, a short taxi ride (JPY700 approx) from Gion or Kyoto station (JPY 1300). Shuttle bus service provided. Plenty to do even if you do not wish to venture out from the hotel - there are 2 or more walking trails, many shrines and temples to visit around the hotel, as well as art boutiques, quaint shops and dining places. Service is good, with many (not all) english speaking staff. Will choose Westin Kyoto for my next trip! May 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lecturer25 A week in Kyoto The Hotel is beutiful, nestled in the suburbs of Kyoto but 3 minute walk from the subway (very good system), I booked a superior room, but the initial room was very small, the room was old, I asked to be changed to a room with a view (for extra charge) and the room was beutiful, I had a lot of help from the SPG - from twitter who contacted the hotel and help me, the new room was exactly what I was expecting from the Westin, the friendliness of the staff was amazing June 28, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by rabbit Best Hotel Experience I stayed at the Westin Miyako, Kyoto in September, 2010, and I must say that this was the best hotel experience that I have ever had. I have stayed at many of the leading hotels throughout the world, but the graciousness and attention paid to guests at this hotel was unsurpassed. They really made you feel special. I was in awe! The hotel is gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful, and the location is convenient. November 17, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kate29 Lovely hotel This hotel is a bit far from JR station, however, there is a shuttle bus departs every 30 mins. Avoid the rush hours as the bus may be crowded. The staffs are good and friendly. The room is clean. The Japanese buffet breakfast is worth and recommended. Upgraded? Yes, but after insisting. February 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pab31 Solid Stay As the second part of my honeymoon trip, Kyoto was a must-go city. After arriving at Kyoto Station, a free shuttle was available (runs every 30 minutes). During check-in, the Westin staff was friendly and fulfilled my request to be upgraded to one of their japanese-style rooms, located in another building behind the main one - in that sense, not that great after a long day walking. Breakfast can be challenging if you're not used to the local food, but not that big deal. Concierge was helpful when requested, providing local maps and general directions. August 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Clara Superior Hotel for travelers The hotel has a high standard of room amenities and hotel facilities. Though not near tourist attractions, shuttle bus service is provided with several stopovers. Excellent building and environment as if the hotel is a spot already. Worth to stay here and relax. PS: staff are friendly and detail-minded. January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Samjan The hotel everything is so perfect! The hotel has great service. Especially for my disable daughter. The breakfast was so delicious, everything was from local, so fresh, super great taste, we couldn't forget it. The Japanese room was so good, we all enjoyed the Japanese style life.Location is very comfortable, good view. Hope can live over there for a long time. April 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TeriFish Awesome hotel We stayed there just last week and the entire staff seemed to go out of the way to meet our needs. The birthday cake was an awesome touch. September 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by GaintsGO77 This hotel has very good features comfortable room and nice people I'm satisfied with all of things December 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RufusInHI Most Perfect 48 hours - Impeccable Hotel We spent two perfect days in Kyoto celebrating our Anniversary. Every moment spent at The Westin Miyako was treasured. The hotel is all class and a polished gem. If you are looking for perfection, the Westin Miyako delivers from the moment you check-in, and until you check-out. The entire staff is attentive, very polite, and professional. The room was modern, clean and full of amenities found at most 5 stars hotel. The breakfast buffet at the hotel's Aquablu Restaurant is a culinary delight. The restaurant staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. Hotel Front Desk Staff and Concierge provides recognition of your SPG membership and were always hospitable and gracious to any request or inquiry. The hotel is extremely stylish and exudes elegance and sophistication. Located within walking distance of downtown Kyoto and many temples and shrines, yet worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the hotel is surrounded by the serenity of near by mountains and lush trees. If the Westin Miyako were a US Property, it would be a SPG rated Category 6 hotel. I am a extremely delighted fan of the Westin Miyako. Thank you very much for the great stay and great service. December 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPGmomo Perfectly balanced stay The hospitality industry in parts of Asia really sets the bar for the rest of the world and the Westin Kyoto delivers on those high standards. Let's start with the beginning: a personal escort to your room who will explain the amenities in the language of your choice, English, Chinese or Japanese. An invitation to a free drink on the house as an SPG Gold member. A very attentive yet inconspicuous staff during your evening cocktails in the Executive Club Lounge. Housekeepers that do an amazing job without ever being seen or heard. It's been about 3 months since my stay at the Westin Kyoto and I often reflect fondly at the time I spent there. Its location in the hills of Eastern Kyoto, despite it being out of city center, is dear to my heart for the serenity and beauty that I woke up to every morning. Actually, it should be said that the hotel, both inside and out is shrouded in the kind of beauty that only Japan can provide. It starts with the green leaves and warm woods that decorate the lobby, to the traditional gardens and pathways on the outside and extending to the hiking trail behind the hotel that remains a best kept secret for the breath-taking views overlooking Kyoto city. Yes, it is AMAZING! I will admit this is one of the rare trips where I spent as much time enjoying the hotel as the city I'm traveling in. I loved having tea at the elegant Mayfair tea room, a cup of coffee in the Club lounge (where the view in nearly unrivaled) or just relaxing in my room after a long day of walking. Unlike most hotels in Japan, the Club Level room I stayed in was HUGE (and it wasn't even a suite) with a full bathtub, separate shower, and toilet stall (I loved how everything is separate!), a sitting area with a real couch, a corner office space and a Westin Heavenly bed worth dying for. The Westin Kyoto Miyako, to me, seems to be the perfect balance of tranquility and Western comforts. July 28, 2012

There were three guys snooping around in the woods one day: A Vikings Fan, a Bills Fan and a Bears Fan. The men stumble upon a naked dead woman. Out of respect, the Vikings fan takes off his hat and places it on the woman's right breast. The Bills fan follows suit and places his on the woman's left breast. The Bears fan places his hat on the woman's private area. The men leave the woods, not knowing what to do.
A while later, the cops find out the woman is missing and find her in the woods the men had been in. The lead detective notices the NFL hats placed on the woman's places and takes a look under the Vikings hat, puts it back down. He removes the Bills hat, puts it back down. He picks up the Bears hat and puts it back down. Then he picks up the Bears hat again and puts it down. With an astonished look on his face, the detective does this a few more times. Confused, his partner asks," Why are you doing that?" The detective says, "Every other time I have looked under a Bears hat I found an as*hole!"

Authorities have been looking for Brady Hirschkorn for months -- and now they have him back behind bars.
Hirschkorn was profiled on the On The Run KX News segment in April.
Since then, the tips have been pretty steady.
A tip is what lead authorities to Hirschkorn early Friday morning.
They found him in a Bismarck home, hiding in a bedroom.
Hirschkorn was wanted for conspiracy to commit terrorizing.
Court documents say Hirschkorn threatened and planned to assault a man with a sledgehammer.
Hirschkorn is on probation.
In addition, both had recently been released from state prison.

A Monster in Paris
2011 'Un monstre à Paris' Directed by Bibo Bergeron
Paris,1910. Emile, a shy movie projectionist, and Raoul, a colorful inventor, find themselves embarked on the hunt for a monster terrorizing citizens. They join forces with Lucille, the big-hearted star of the Bird of Paradise cabaret, an eccentric scientist and his irascible monkey to save the monster, who turns out to be an oversized but harmless flea, from the city's ruthlessly ambitious police chief.

The trailers for this looked quite good and it got hardly any press on its release here in Blighty. It seemed to be in the cinema and then gone. When the blu ray came through the post I was looking forward to it. I was not let down.
The animation is seriously some of the best I have seen. So stylised and unique. I loved it. The characters are extremely well rounded and each bring something different but similarly each is as memorable as the next. It's such a different story too with some great moments.
What makes this a five star film then? The music is one. Rarely do the films visuals and tone get such perfect accompaniment. But…
A wonderfully delightful animated film.
Imagine Cronenberg's The Fly. Animated.
For kids.
With musical numbers.
With no Goldblum.
If you're thinking what the f**k?(as you should be) then don't bother with this bizarre animated movie.
Recommended?: only if you want to see a film which features mutant singing fleas that are wonderfully talented tap dancers
A hybrid crossing "Mimic" with "Moulin Rouge" and with the aesthetic value of Luc Besson's "Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec".
It is easy to confuse this 2011 beautifully animated feature with the 2012 Academy Award nominated "A Cat in Paris" but I supposed the mesmerizing French capital played a key role in both films.
Directed and written by a native Bibo Bergeron, there was an authenticity of bringing the city (circa 1920s-1930s) to the forefront and with the character of Emile, expressed his love for the art of cinema.
Generally the plot might not be ground breaking and the flow of the story was riddled with hiccups; there is still ample charm with the setting, characters and a bit of…
Very cute movie. I loved it very much!!!
Brilliant A hidden gem.
Recent reviewsMore
Nope. Nice style, but nope. As soon as I heard the "banter" between a few characters I was done.
A cute story, nice characters and a gorgeous setting.
A Monster in Paris is a cute, feel-good animation movie set in the beautifully recreated Paris of 1910.
It's a rather slow but pleasant movie to watch, though in my opinion the story lacked something to make it a truly great film. It's a simple story that all in all is not very memorable.
However it's great to sit back and relax whilst enjoying the pretty animations and the songs, of which La Seine turned out to be quite the earwurm.
I can't believe this is directed by the same guy that did Shark Tale.
A Monster in Paris hits all the emotional notes just about when you expect them to, but in a very satisfying way. There are a bunch of fun twists and permutations of the formula that keeps the 1 1/2 hour time fun, sweet, heartwarming, funny, and exciting. Also, that first song - basically the only song performed entirely - is remarkably catchy.
The characters are delightful, the animation is technically competent, and the art direction isn't terribly distinctive, but it's definitely not a re-hash or anything. Fun little thing.
This was a real surprise and treat.
It is an animated film set in 1910 Paris. A flea is doused with a scientist's formula and becomes human-sized, creating a panic in the city. There is a "Phantom of the Opera" vibe to this story, because the flea is musically gifted.
There are echoes of classic Hollywood animation here. A "Pepe Le Pew" aspect to the setting, and the plot is somewhat reminiscent of "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing Opera." However, there is no one hero, but an ensemble. The songs are in a different key too. The title song is quite lovely and sad. And there is plenty of action and great chase sequences to keep children happy.
Really, this is a delightful gem of a film, and I'm very glad I found it.
The story is almost fairy tale-like and really builds on that with its design and setting, and delivers some good characters with believable relationships. A lot of the humor falls flat in the English dub, and some animation lacks texture and movement, but its overall a very sweet and heartfelt film.
-I loved the original songs! Moreover , the film is passed in Paris!
-The story isn't that great , I've seen many films like this
this was adorable in every way!! the dialogue was witty, the characters were fun, the story was unique! i loved it.
Esta es sin duda alguna una de esas películas que me generó bastante expectativa cuando salió, pero a la hora de verla choqué bruscamente contra la realidad.
La animación es sin duda alguna buena más no excelente, los personajes carecen de carisma y eso se nota a medida que la trama transcurre, el tiempo se dilata y los 90 minutos se hacen eternos.

Bexley and north Kent hospice chYps gets £20,000 from Text Santa appeal
3:28pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in Dartford & Swanley news By Tim MacFarlan, reporter
A BEXLEY and north Kent hospice for sick children has welcomed a late £20,000 Christmas present.
chYps, a charity which cares for youngsters in Swanley, Dartford Gravesham and Bexley, has been given the money thanks to ITV's Text Santa appeal.
The 2012 version on December 21 raised more than £5.2m for six UK charities including Together for Short Lives, through which 49 children's hospices across the country including chYps will benefit.
Rachel Holweger, director of fundraising at chYps, said: "We are thrilled that the funds raised from Text Santa will benefit children and families supported by chYps.
"The money will help support thousands of families caring for a child with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness."
chYps provides cancer care and palliative care in the family home, enabling sick children to spend precious time with parents and siblings in familiar surroundings.
Text Santa 2012 was watched by more than five million viewers with presenters including Ant and Dec, Phillip Schofield, Christine Bleakley, Paddy McGuinness and Together for Short Lives Patron, Holly Willoughby.
