Good comfortable hotel. Nice pool and sauna. Didn't eat there. Parking was with a fee and in an underground garage. It is near the park and football grounds, but a ways (few kilometeres) from the town center - not walking distance. I will come back next year.

The president's account — (at)BarackObama — is run by his 2012 campaign. The campaign says the president will personally send the occasional tweet, with those messages marked "-BO" to signify that they're coming directly from the president.
Obama used the town hall as an opportunity to deliver a remarkably critical line about Republicans who are fighting with him over raising the nation's borrowing limit. Obama said GOP lawmakers should not use their votes on that matter as "a gun against the heads of the American people" to retain the tax breaks they want for corporate jet owners and oil companies.
Obama fielded questions on college costs, immigration, collective bargaining rights, the debt limit, manufacturing jobs, the housing crisis and many other topics as Twitter users sent queries in by the tens of thousands.
A handful of journalists from newspapers around the country were asked by Twitter to join the event as "curators," a role that entailed trying to generate questions on the economy from Twitter users and helping the company to identify trends in the inquiries.
The White House used its official Twitter account, (at)WhiteHouse, to boil Obama's answers down to 140 characters or less. Twitter was also retweeting the condensed answers.
For example, when Obama was asked about protecting collective bargaining rights, his answer ran more than 2,600 spoken characters. The White House summarized him in two consecutive Tweets: "Collective bargaining responsible for so many benefits/protections we take for granted on the job ... All of us will have to make adjustments for 21st century, but principle of collective bargaining must be protected".
Tweeters responded en masse with ideas for how to reduce the nation's deficit: cut defense contracting, trim the war on drugs, stop giving money to Pakistan, raise taxes, cut oil subsidies.
As to that first question on mistakes made, Obama allowed that his administration had underestimated the severity of the recession, and so he did not prepare the American people "for how long this was going to take" and the tough choices that lay ahead. Obama also said the problems in the housing market were more stubborn than expected, and he'd had to revamp his assistance programs several times.
The town hall also marked the first White House "Tweetup" — that's an in-person gathering of people who are connected through Twitter. The White House invited about 30 people who follow the administration's official Twitter account to come to Washington to take part in Wednesday's event.

Reader Question: Mizani Classic Rhelaxer versus Mizani Butter Blend
By Grow It Girl on April 30, 2014
I recently received a question from a reader after posting about the best relaxers to use to texlax. It is no secret how I feel about the Mizani brand and I believe it is the best relaxer for texlaxing. A reader inquired about the difference in the Classic Rhelaxer and the Butter Blend Hg formula.
I was more than happy to reach out to the manufacture to find out the official explanation. I know I can tell the difference but there is nothing like having the official word from the brand. Loreal offered an offical answer to my reader's question. Read their answer... "What is the difference between the original relaxer and the Butter Blends formula?"
Thank you for stopping by. Please sure to visit Grow It Girl for more on hair, beauty, and nails.

At Vienna Restaurant and Historic Inn's Austria-inspired getaway, chef and owner Jonathan Krach maintains a culinary dialogue with Europe more than 100 years after his grandfather passed through Ellis Island en route to the United States. The restaurant's plentiful dining rooms each have their own working fireplaces where visitors can cozy up and dig into plates of beef stroganoff and smoked pork shanks. In one of the dining areas, a portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph directs his gaze over white linen tablecloths, intricate light fixtures, and gold-colored walls, waiting patiently for the return of the Habsburg Empire or for someone to tickle his whiskers. Listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places, Vienna Restaurant and Historic Inn boasts Italianate Revival architecture with 12-foot ceilings and a Mansard-style roof. Two-hundred-year-old copper beech trees ward off hot sunrays on the outdoor patio, and a dwarf japanese maple tree on the front porch hovers over shoulders to catch a glimpse of the day's paper. On cool nights, an outdoor patio fireplace warms guests. The hotel portion of the building comprises five two-room guest suites, each with unique decorations

In 1935, the Wells family sought out a place to display their massive collection of New England antiquities. When they couldn't find one that was sufficient, they decided to build a museum. Since its founding, Old Sturbridge Village?a living-history museum with its own rich history?has granted visitors a chance to experience New England life in the 19th-century firsthand.
As they navigate a town and rustic countryside filled with 40 historic buildings, including an old schoolhouse, mansion homes, and three water-powered mills, visitors encounter heritage farm animals and interpreters in period costume. At regular times throughout the day, specific sites become interactive. A shoemaker cobbles a new pair of shoes, a blacksmith submerges steaming hunks of metal, and a soldier makes lifelike musket sounds with his mouth?all for the benefit of live audiences. Throughout the year, events such as cooking and craft-making classes further enhance the educational experience.

The St. Tammany Parish Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is calling for a mandatory evacuation of homes near the Pearl River Diversion Canal, which is just east of LA-41, between Locks 1 and 2 on the canal.
According a post on the St. Tammany Parish webpage and the St. Tammany Parish Facebook page, "The area is from Lock 2 in the community of Bush reaching south to Hickory/36, south to Hwy 41. The Town of Pearl River is NOT included, nor are any other areas to the south."
Earlier postings on the Facebook page said that failure of Lock 2, in Bush was imminent, saying that the dam would soon fail and send water flooding into homes south of Bush.
The St. Tammany Parish Deptartment of Engineering is working to relieve the pressure on the dam.

SAN ANTONIO (February 28, 2014) An off-duty San Antonio police officer shot and killed an armed man early Friday during a dispute at the drive-thru window of a restaurant.
The 23-year-old man, whose name wasn't immediately released, was a passenger in a vehicle that may have bumped another vehicle in the drive-thru, police said.
The off-duty officer spoke with one of the drivers and instructed him to turn off the engine.
As he did that, the front seat passenger got out and flashed a gun, police said.
The officer shot the man, who started to run, and then collapsed and died.
His handgun was recovered nearby.
The officer, whose name wasn't released, will be placed on paid administrative duty during a review of the shooting.

Nov 17, 2013According to the authors, this movie is for Poles and about Poles.
Two brothers are in the center of this controversial move, the older one comes from America to visit his younger one after 20 years of living separately. They discovered that their village played a role quite different from the official version during years of Holocaust. They found out much more than they wanted to.
The movie is made as a thriller which I personally do not like. But I understand the intention: the authors wanted a wide audience to see it and discuss it. And they hit the target. Many theaters in Poland banned the movie but it is sold in DVD format in large numbers. Both authors and actors keep receiving death threats for creating the movie. I applaud their bravery.… Expand
Dec 4, 2013About as subtle as a sledgehammer, AFTERMATH has an important story to tell about the duplicity of Poland during the Holocaust and tells it like a horror tale from the depths of WWII.
An uneven but consistently compelling film that, with its roots in the horrors of World War II, generated no small amount of controversy in its native Poland when it was released there in 2012.
Although Pasikowski is heavy-handed in his filmmaking, sometimes in the extreme, Aftermath does show the danger inherent in this kind of groupthink.
Director Wladyslaw Pasikowski has made the mistake of going about his business as if he were fashioning a horror film.

Global TV shipment growth turned negative in the second quarter of 2011, declining 1% year-on-year and falling more than 6% year-on-year in developed regions, which more than offset 3% growth in emerging markets, according to a DisplaySearch report. Softer price declines and inventory pressure at retail due to lackluster consumer demand continue to put pressure on TV brands.
TV shipments had been soft in the first quarter of 2011 as the worldwide TV supply chain digested excess inventory, but growth was still up 1% Y/Y.
"Q2'10 was a very strong shipment growth period due to greater price erosion and more confident consumers, so the comparison of this year's shipments to a year ago is tough, especially considering the surge of shipments in early 2010 due to anticipated demand related to the World Cup Soccer tournament." noted Hisakazu Torii, vice president of TV Research at DisplaySearch. "Due to weakening macro-economic conditions, similar to what happened during the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, the TV industry is becoming somewhat pessimistic and reducing inventory, especially in North America and Western Europe."
LCD TV shipments worldwide grew at least 20% each quarter in 2010, but so far have only risen 9% Y/Y in Q1'11 and 6% Y/Y in Q2'11. The slowing growth impacted both developed and emerging markets, with LCD TV units falling 5% and rising 19% respectively, both well below the rate of growth a year earlier.
The main inhibitor to faster LCD TV price erosion, something that has a strong positive impact on consumer demand in the highly elastic TV market, has been the transition from CCFL (cathode ray) to LED and slower component pricing declines. LED share increased from 18% of LCD TV shipments in Q2'10 to more than 43% in Q2'11, but still carries a 74% average premium across all sizes, though this is down from a 120%+ premium a year ago. The research firm said LED backlight cost breakthroughs have been slow to materialize.
The firm reported plasma TV shipments showed surging growth in 2010, increasing 30% Y/Y after negative growth in 2009. The boost in growth had a lot to do with market pricing advantages against LCD for similar sizes and consumers who continued to focus on price. LCD TV prices started to narrow the gap this year, and the premium for a 42-in class CCFL LCD narrowed from 13% in Q2'10 to less than 1% in Q2'11 over plasma, which is having an impact. Plasma TV shipments fell 6% in Q2'11 after double digit growth throughout 2010.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grassy and corn. The flavor is very similar. I get a lot of grass and corn notes as well as some bready malt and a few spices. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
There is nothing offensive about the beer, but there is nothing really exciting going on in it.

Maya Angelou Wrote Poem For 2008 Olympics

Youth sport - squash: Amy upstages elder opponents to win at West Hants Club
6:00am Tuesday 1st July 2014 in Sport
TALENTED nine-year-old Amy Campbell-Wynter upstaged her elder opponents to win the Bournemouth Junior Open under-13 girls title at the West Hants Club.
The Christchurch Junior School star won all four of her round-robin games before toppling Amelie Howorth, from Hampshire, in the final.
Amy, who just turned nine in May, is ranked in the top 10 for her age group after finishing ninth in the nationals at Nottingham last month. She is the youngest player in the under-11 rankings.
Her brother, 10-year-old Luca, was also the youngest competitor in his Bournemouth Open category, finishing runner-up.
Both Amy and Luca are coached by their father Charlie at Two Riversmeet Leisure Centre.
Luca was one of six Dorset players to finish second in their competitions at West Hants.
In the under-17 finals, Phil Sargeant lost a close match with Hampshire's Cameron Ward, while Abbi Hurd bowed out to Oxfordshire's Eve Coxen in an evenly-contested girls' event.
Other Dorset runners-up were Joe Pannell, Ellie Corben and Lucy Hill.
Charlie Campbell-Wynter, meanwhile, is running a summer squash camp at Two Riversmeet Leisure Centre on 24-26 July.

OSO, WA - Workers with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Transportation today are trying to increase the flow of the Stillaguamish River through the Oso mudslide to reduce flooding.
Crews hope to clear the back up of water in the debris and to clear Highway 530 for drivers. Water from the river has backed up since the March 22nd slide.
Geologists and hydrologists with the state, Corps of Engineers, National Weather Service and U.S. Geological Survey also are working with Snohomish County to drain backed-up water at the landslide.
The University of Washington is also helping lead a geotechnical team to investigate what caused the landslide and what might be done to prevent similar disasters.
The team plans to collect information about the steep slope above the Stillaguamish River and why it collapsed.

Gerardo Ceballos is a man of vision -- sometimes from the back of a horse, and sometimes through a camera lens.When he looks at his native Mexico, he sees native beauty that should be preserved for future generations."Mexico is one of the most bio-diverse countries on earth", he said. "It has 12 percent of all the plant life on earth and only one percent of the land mass."To protect some of it, Ceballos believes you have to protect all of it. His approach is taking root in Mexico and breaking new ground for conservationists around the world.He came to this realization after focusing on mammals in the early days of his career but for 20 years now, he has been working to preserve the places where they live."I started to see that what I was learning with one species could be applied to saving landscapes -- because in a landscape, you save hundreds of thousands of species."So, in 1991, he began working to protect the vast Mexican landscape. Instead of focusing his efforts in the wild lands of his country, he went to the capitol of Mexico City and lobbied lawmakers to enact laws that favored conservation. His persuasive powers helped shape the landmark "Endangered Species Act" in Mexico, which now protects more than 4,000 different kinds of animals that otherwise would be in danger.From there, he worked to build the national system of protected areas. Rurik List of Mexico's Institute of Ecology said his friend's work has been priceless."He has helped to create several reserves, or expand other reserves and that's a work that will last probably a hundred years and benefit thousands of people."
As a finalist for the 2014 Indianapolis Prize, he could win an unrestricted $250,000 award to help in the work of preserving his vision and pass it on to future generations.

Flood warnings for the south
Heavy rain has led to warnings of possible flash flooding in the south east. There are also flood alerts in the south west of England. The Environment Agency has warned the drought in the south could increase the risk of flash flooding as rain is less easily absorbed by dry, compacted soil.
While the rain may be welcome for gardeners and farmers in drought-affected areas, the downpours are not enough to alleviate the drought that stems from two unusually dry winters in a row.
Forecasters at Meteogroup said the weather looked set to remain unsettled for at least the next week, with heavy showers and some more persistent rain. The public can keep up to date with the Environment Agency's flood alerts service by calling Floodline on 0845 988 1188.

Origins of the DonationWe're not certain who faked the Donation, but it seems to have been written c. 750 to c.800 in Latin. It might be connected to the coronation of Pippin the Short in 754, or the grand imperial coronation of Charlemagne in 800, but could easily have been to aid Papal attempts to challenge Byzantium's spiritual and secular interests in Italy. One of the more popular views has the Donation being created in the mid eight century at the behest of Pope Stephen II, in order to aid his negotiations with Pepin. The idea was that the Pope approved the transfer of the great central European crown from the Merovingian dynasty to the Carolingians, and in return Pepin would not just give the Papacy the rights to Italian lands, but would actually 'restore' what had been given long before by Constantine. It appears that the rumor of a Donation or something similar had been traveling round the relevant parts of Europe since the sixth century, and that whoever created it was producing something people expected to exist.
Contents of the DonationThe Donation begins with a narrative: how Sylvester I was supposed to have cured Roman Emperor Constantine of leprosy, before the latter gave his support to Rome and the Pope as the heart of the church. It then moves into the granting of rights, a 'donation' to the church: the Pope is made supreme religious ruler of many great capitals – including the newly expanded Constantinople – and given control of all the lands given to the church throughout Constantine's empire. The Pope is also given the Imperial Palace in Rome and the western empire, and the ability to appoint all kings and emperors ruling there. What this meant, (if it had been true), was that the Papacy had the legal right to rule a large area of Italy in a secular fashion, which it did during the medieval period.
History of the DonationDespite containing such a massive benefit to the papacy, the document appears to have been forgotten in the ninth and tenth centuries, when struggles between Rome and Constantinople raged over who was superior, and when the Donation would have been useful. It wasn't until Leo IX in the mid eleventh century that the Donation was quoted as evidence, and from then on it became a common weapon in the struggle between the church and secular rulers to carve up power. Its legitimacy was rarely questioned, although there were dissenting voices.
The Renaissance Destroys the DonationIn 1440 a Renaissance Humanist called Valla published a work which broke the Donation down and examined it: the 'Discourse on the Forgery of the Alleged Donation of Constantine'. Valla applied the textual criticism and interest in history and classics which grew so prominent in the Renaissance to show, among many criticisms and in an attacking style we might not consider academic these days, that the Donation was written in a later era – for a start, the Latin dated from several centuries after the Donation was supposed to have been written - and thus proved it was not fourth century. Once Valla had published his proof, the Donation was increasingly seen as a forgery, and the church couldn't rely on it. Valla's attack on the Donation helped promote humanist study, helped undermine the claims of a church you once couldn't argue with and, in a small way helped lead to the Reformation.

L'edera (1950)
a film to (re)discover
Powerful melodrama, about Guilt, thanks to the quality of the direction, the beautiful settings (on location in Sardinia), the wonderful actors (Columba Dominguez is unforgettable), the photography and the successful atmosphere, L'EDERA (the ivy) - also known as DELITTO PER AMORE, is really worth watching (thank you FUORI ORARIO on RAI 3 who just aired it a couple of days ago). The visual tension starts from the striking beginning of the film and keeps you very concerned with the cruel dilemma Annesa is experiencing. Augusto GENINA is still generally despised - I think - mainly because of his very questionable link with the Fascist regime during the Second World War. It reminds me of the very low consideration such an interesting director like Edward Dmytryk (see The Carpetbaggers) suffers from the mainstream film-lovers (in France). By naming names during the Witch Hunt in the USA, he became a doomed director which films are often neglected if not rejected... I strongly advise you to re-discover the work of some directors who made mistakes in their personal lives, you may have powerful surprises !
The Memory of Justice (1976)
the memory of justice, Ophüls own favorite
Yesterday evening, Paris cinema Etoile, 23.00 : Two masters of documentary together. Accompanied by his friend of 40-years Frederick Wiseman (who insists on Ophüls' talent for quality interviewing), Marcel Ophüls tells the public that "the memory of justice" is his favorite own film and that it was a public disaster when it came out in 1976 in the USA... The public is still vibrant with the nearly five hours projection (although the version projected is a 10 years old TV recording in DVD - the only existing 16mm copy seems to be in Germany in 29 reels).
Very dense, tense and complex editing makes this film another fascinating film from the director. With wit and elegance, the film passes from one interview to another, focusing mainly on the lessons NUREMBERG trial left us, mainly through the point of vue of Telford Taylor (USA prosecutor at the trial) who as a character and in Marcel Ophüls' own words appears as "Mr Smith goes to Nuremberg" (he served also as historical adviser on the picture). Some Nazi talk to exonerate themselves, Albert Speer being the most controversial and in the same time most charismatic one. After having study NUREMBERG trial itself in the first part through archive images and long interviews of 1975's survivors of the facts, the film draws in the second part a parallel between Nazi atrocities, American exactions in Vietnam (contemporary to the shooting of the film) and French torture in Algeria...
A single review cannot contain all the complexity of the film but I was surprised no review had been written before. If you are lucky enough to see this title aired on TV in your country or projected nearby, please watch it or go to the cinema and bring young people with you in order to learn more together and start a discussion... (If I noted it 7 out of 10, it is because my personal impression of the film was that the second part lasted a bit too long and was a bit confusing in its first hour (third hour of projection))

Camarillo school rocks out with guitars, music
In the auditorium at the Camarillo Academy of Progressive Education, hundreds of students clapped and sang along as Selena Gomez's guitarist and two other musicians performed popular tunes.
Guitarist Drew Taubenfeld and singers Emily Grace and Katelyn Clampett belted out songs including "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift and Gomez's "Love You Like a Song."
Later, a group of teachers also took center stage, whipping up enthusiasm with a rendition of the Disney star's "Who Says."
The performance was organized for the Camarillo charter school by Encinitas-based nonprofit Guitars in Classrooms, a nationwide program that provides teachers with guitars, music lessons, educational materials and children's song books.
The program has reached more than 100,000 kids and several hundred classrooms nationwide, said the group's executive director, Jessica Anne Baron.
For this week's show, teachers met Wednesday afternoons for two weeks to learn "Who Says" under the tutelage of singer-songwriter Janis Vaile. The educators have been practicing the acoustic guitar for two years, since the program was brought to the school.
"The teachers having been working hard for this and learning so fast," Vaile said. "Today, they're feeling like rock stars."
During the Thursday performances, Jayden Johnston and her friend Dina Tyo, both 9, turned toward each other and sang and danced.
"We love expressing our feelings with songs," Jayden said. "We also like to dance, and we have really funny handshakes, too."
Baron said in her seven years as executive director of Guitars in Classrooms, she had never seen as much enthusiasm as she saw among the 576 students who attended.
At 1 p.m., there was another performance for fifth- through eighth-grade students.
"This is extraordinary," she said. "The kids sound like angels."
Students asked the visiting musicians if they had appeared on television and when they learned how to play their instruments. Taubenfeld said he started playing guitar at 13.
"You guys are way ahead of me," he said. "It took me a long time to learn. But if you work hard and play it every day, it's easy and you'll have a good time."
He also explained music concepts like harmony.
"Think of the melody as ice cream," he said. "You can also add toppings to make it taste a little better. That's harmony."
Second-grade teacher Amanda Jacobs said performing for the kids was an exciting experience.
"Everything I do, from my morning greeting and activities to the lessons, are tied to music," she said.
Teacher Anna Sorensen said her participation in the performance was a way to stress the importance of perseverance.
"Some kids might be afraid to try something new," she said. "But when they see that we've been practicing and now performing, that gives them the confidence to pursue music and other activities."
Second-grade teacher Kristin Kaio brought Guitars in the Classroom to the school.
"When you play the guitar, this tranquillity fills the classroom," she said. "Students are zoned in and make up lyrics about whatever we're learning. I've had them write mealworm life cycle songs. Music engages kids."
Baron said the program is especially helpful to students whose second language is English.
"These songs let them practice something over and over again without getting bored," she said. "So the language skills shoot up with this program."

U.S. News & World Report Names Top Hospitals
"The problem is there are a number of awards given out to hospitals. There is Health Grades and U.S. News, and LeapFrog [Group] and Consumer Reports and they don't always match with one another," says Charles Ornstein, senior reporter at ProPublica, the nonprofit news organization, and president of the board of the Association of Health Care Journalists.
"Oftentimes they strongly disagree with one another and there are a number of cases where they recognize hospitals that are in serious violation of federal and state regulations related to quality of care. It is a concern that there is such a proliferation of rankings that they have almost become hard to decipher."
Ornstein says the U.S. News rankings in particular present "a great marketing tool for hospitals that are recognized."
"It is a name consumers recognize. And hospitals are looking for independent validation of their quality. So, this is something which, even though they may criticize the methods and especially criticize it if their ratings go down, they definitely want to make the list of top hospitals in their area or in the country," he says.
Ornstein says he is troubled that none of the various "rating schemes" use state and federal inspection data in their rankings.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

This rating system is rigged and not reflective of true quality performance. It also helps explain why consumers have so much difficulty getting real data to do any really meningful comparisons. This report is simply a popularity contest. We have to demand more.

Kim MacPherson | June 19, 2001 | Comments
If you ever find yourself in a quandary with respect to the creative development of a particular campaign, try going back to your roots. Step back far enough to take a look at the entire forest before trying to figure out what each tree looks like.
Recently, the team at Inbox and I were perplexed during the creative development of an email promotion for a client. Well... "stuck" is the word that really comes to mind.
This client had a variety of mandatory inclusions, and at first glance during the briefing session, they didn't seem too elaborate or numerous or out of the ordinary. He wanted to promote a special "Grand Opening" offer (a special savings coupon) and wanted to include a bit of verbiage about the party and another special offer associated with the grand opening.
The stumbling block reared its ugly head when we put the copy that we developed (including the client's "must-haves") into design. Round after round we went. Rework the placement of this graphic. Add this. Delete that. Move this here.
Why was this one so tough?
Believe me, we've been doing this long enough that within a couple of days, we can usually come up with a good, solid draft that we feel comfortable handing off to the client for comments or approval.
But this thing had us flummoxed -- it was eight days from the onset of the project, and we still didn't have creative that we felt was worthy of showing. And the grand opening that the entire piece was wrapped around was looming... what were we to do?
Hold the phone. We realized at this point that it was time to step back and re-evaluate the situation. Let's take a look at those aforementioned mandatory inclusions, we said. Is it really necessary for all of them to go into the promotion? Could one or two of them move over to the landing page, also currently in development?
The answers to the above (in order) were no and yes. We realized that the reason the design wasn't working was that too many things were extraneous to the heart of the promotion -- the main offer. No wonder we couldn't come up with a design we were happy with!
Of course, this brought us back to those good old direct-mail days, to an "ancient" principle: Focus the prospect/recipient on the main offer at hand with the text and the design -- and keep it simple in order to do just that.
Because we were so focused on those details, as well as on making sure the client remained happy, we neglected to see the proverbial forest -- the big picture -- for the trees. We temporarily lost sight of an elementary rule of thumb. We were taking the client's "mandatory" inclusions and attempting to spin them all in the promotion -- the "Part 1" of the campaign.
Upon reflection, we realized that we could, in fact, include all of the client's requests within the campaign, but we had to move all of these "necessities" over to the details section of Part 2 -- the landing page/microsite that housed the form and the downloadable coupon that was the crux of the main offer.
So, to summarize (in very simple terms) what we did, the email (Part 1) consisted of the following:
So if you ever find yourself in a quandary with respect to the creative development of a particular campaign, try going back to your roots. And take a look at the entire forest rather than each individual tree.
And what about the results for this particular campaign, you ask? Well, hopefully, by next week I'll have some concrete results to share.
Speaking of next week, gang, I wanted to give you a preliminary heads-up...
Although the Email Marketing column will continue in grand style, I will soon be leaving it to move on to other things. Next week's article will be my last here at ClickZ, I'm sorry to say. However, I will probably contribute spot articles from time to time.
Please email me if you want to keep in touch. It has truly been a blast.

Create Your Memories...
From Our Corner of the World

Built in 1887, the historic Strater Hotel is a prominent downtown Durango, Colorado landmark located two blocks north of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and one hour from the Mesa Verde National Park. Guests experience the Old West while just steps away from eclectic dining, shopping, and many outdoor activities including hiking, skiing, biking, rafting, jeeping, relaxing in hot springs, and much more. However, once at the Strater there is plenty to do and see. The hotel is home to the world's largest collection of American Victorian Walnut Antiques and the Louis L'Amour Room (designated a Literary Landmark). Once you're settled in unwind with daily live music at the Diamond Belle Saloon and The Office Spiritorium, and fine dining at the Mahogany Grille where you can experience Handcrafted Flavors of the West. For those wishing to create a memorable event for any occasion, please don't hesitate to talk with our Strater Catering and Events folks who will give you and your guests a fabulous experience (weddings, business, special events).
