The Heartbreaking Fate of One of Syria's Historic Hotels
Throwback Monday to… a time when Aleppo was a popular tourist destination.
The Baron Hotel was one of the finest hotels in Syria when it opened in 1911. Charles de Gaulle stayed here. So did Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. Agatha Christie wrote Murder on the Orient Express in room 203. "Hotel Baron, the only first-class hotel in Aleppo" says a poster from the 1930s strung up in reception. It's the oldest hotel in Syria.
Or, rather, it was until last week, when its owner revealed he's closed it.
"It's been nearly four years since the war began and I see nothing that inspires any optimism in me, quite the contrary," Armen Mazloumian told AP. "Honestly, the hotel will never go back to how it was."

Another Ugly Truth About Hotels Exposed: The Remote Control is Filthy
Look. We're not stupid. We know that several, many, maybe hundreds of people have stayed in a hotel room before we got there. We know this.
Which is why we always throw the comforter or top blanket on the bed to the floor and why we avoid touching the remote control and never drink out of the bathroom glasses. But just when we think we had mastered the germs in hotel rooms, here's come another new report just reminding us how filthy hotel rooms can be, even after housekeeping has come by.
A new study from The Rossen Reports team went into hotel rooms at five major hotel chains after housekeepers finished cleaning the rooms and began conducting bacteria tests. They also waved the trusty old backlight over the room. Bacteria was found in the in-room telephones (Ew) and suspicious stains were found throughout the room (Ew but also, eh). However, the remote control proved once again to be the filthiest object in the room.

Another Crappy Hotel Tried to Charge Guests for Negative Online Reviews
In August, we were completely pissed off that a hotel outside New York City posted a note on their website about how they would charge guests $500 for leaving a bad review of the place on any online review website. After the policy made national news, the owner backed down saying, "it was just a joke." Of course, we don't believe it was a joke but regardless, the terrible policy has inspired another hotel to do the same thing.
The Broadway Hotel in Blackpool, England actually charged two guests 100 pounds for writing a negative review of the hotel online where they called the place a "dirty rotten stinking hovel run by Muppets." (Hey now, no need to involve our beloved Muppets.)
Unbeknownst to the guests, the hotel included their "No bad reviews" policy in the booking documents. Here's what it says:
"Despite the fact that repeat customers and couples love our hotel, your friends and family may not. "For every bad review left on any website, the group organiser will be charged a maximum Ł100 per review."
Man. This hotel must be raking in money. Go to TripAdvisor and check out all the terrible reviews of the place. It really is a dirty rotten stinking hovel. Following up on this, The Daily Mail pulled some photos from TripAdvisor to further show off the hovel and they are frightening. Doesn't the hotel have health standards it needs to abide by?
However, there will be happy ending. Word is the couple will have their money refunded and the hotel will stop enacting the policy. Now, all it needs is a renovation and for someone to remove those dirty socks from the nightstand drawer.

How to Know Which Hotel to Avoid in Cape Verde
How do you know when not to stay at a hotel? Check out the celebrity guestlist. And if you've got Kerry Katona, Danielle O'Hara and one of the Black Eyed Peas, you have your answer.
These were the 'stars' who attended the opening bash of the Melia Dunas Beach Resort & Spa in Cape Verde last week.
The hotel is a five star, all inclusive resort, with 1251 "units" (rooms, apartments and villas). According to the Daily Mail, there's an acre of pool-age, a fitness center and spa, five restaurants and – the telling bit if you're wondering who they're going for – 14 bars. By the looks of the photos, they also have (or had, for the opening party), staff dressed as mermaids and Jack Sparrow.

Drink Your Own Water In Your Room, Pay A Corkage Fee At The Fairmont Monte Carlo
Charges for keeping your own stuff in the hotel minibar – that's so Vegas. Our sister site VegasChatter spotted a $50 "restocking fee" at MGM Grand last year, and the story went round again last month at MGM's sister property Mandalay Bay.
But a "corkage fee" for merely having a bottle of water in your room? Now that's a new one.
This was a note we saw in the info book at the Fairmont Monte Carlo when we stayed earlier this year. The Fairmont is one of Monaco's iconic hotels, right on the Mediterranean. At check in, we were impressed that staff went out of their way to tell us that we should sign up for the President's Club in order to get free WiFi (if you can't be bothered to do it now, do it at some point during your stay and we'll take the charge off at check out, they said, which was awesome).
And then we stumbled upon this note. This penny-pinching, parsimonious note. "A corkage fee will be charged on an item purchased outside and consumed at the hotel", it said. €15 for champagne and spirits. €10 for wine. €5 for soft drinks and water – water! Not bottles illicitly stored in the minibar, remember – bottles merely kept in the room.
There are so many problems with this. For starters, the sign wasn't prominent – it was buried in the info guide, which is only read properly by geeks like us. Not a peep on the minibar, not a squeak on the bedside table.
For another, how can the hotel distinguish between drinks consumed in-room and bottles from drinks you bought earlier and didn't bother to throw away? Chuck out that empty bottle of water in your bag you've been carrying around all day, and suddenly it's chargeable.

13 Hotel Trends We Wish Would Die
It's time for another epic Hotel Rant! Got a hotel rant you want to share? Let us know!
In the spirit of both Monday, October 13th and Halloween, here are 13 Hotel Trends We Wish Would Die.
1. FRIENDING: We blame the Millennials for this one. To all the new hotels out there, and all the hotels considering a rebrand, we don't want to be friends. Yes, we like friendly faces at check-in and peppy voices answering the phone, but we don't need to be reminded constantly to "Friend" you on social media or tag our photos with a ridiculous hashtag that you made up.
2. ANNOUNCING OUR ROOM # AT CHECK-IN: Yup, we've griped about this one before but seriously, STOP DOING THIS.
3. MINIBAR SENSORS: Nothing says "Relax! Enjoy our hotel" like a minibar security sensor just waiting for you to touch an item in the minibar so it can ring up a $8 bill for Pringles on your folio.
4. PEEK-A-BOO BATHROOMS: How many more times do we have to say this? No one wants to watch someone else go to the bathroom. If that were true, then we'd just stand outside of the Meadowlands watching people who've been tailgating too long pee into a bottle instead of spending money on a hotel room.

Is It Farewell Or Good Riddance To Scotland's Most Expensive Hotel?
In two days time, Scotland will go to the polls to decide whether it wants to become an independent state or remain part of the United Kingdom. Politicians and business people are tussling over what would be better for the country.
In the meantime, Scotland's most expensive hotel ever – the first to charge Ł1000 a night – has quietly closed its doors.
The Atholl, in the West End of the city, opened in 2012 after a Ł5m conversion project. And now, according to owner Alison Davies (and the Daily Mail), it's closed for good. No more Hermes wallpaper, no more Albert Roux restaurant, no more "award-winning garden". The hotel will be converted into apartments.

Well, This Is A Novel Type Of Room Category...
Dar Ayniwen, in Marrakech, looks like a beautiful place to stay.
Surrounded by two hectares of grounds in the modern Palmeraie district. A beautiful hammam. Eight beautiful suites, including some freestanding ones in their own pavilions. Like the Pavillon ŕ la Rotonde, which is "romantic and secluded", "ideal for an intimate getaway" with its "private garden and jacuzzi". How glorious! Until you come to the booking page, and it describes it as "Poo Suite: Rotonde".
Yes, of course this is an extremely juvenile thing to be giggling over. But it's also a serious reminder to hotels to check through every page of your websites, and to keep names uniform across the site – because even if it said "Pool Suite: Rotonde", we'd be wondering whether that was in fact the Pavillon ŕ la Rotonde we'd so wanted to book.
Hotel Fees / Hotel News / Hotel Hell / Hotel Pet Peeves / HotelChatter Flashbacks / → All Tags
All Those Hidden Hotel Fees are Adding Up
Every so often, the mainstream media gets fired up about hidden hotel fees. This usually happens when it's revealed how much hotels are making off these miscellaneous yet maddening fees. This year it will be about $2.25 billion, according to a new NYU report.
Us, being both regular hotel guests and hotel trend watchers, have become somewhat accustomed, but no less outraged, to the random fees that pop up during a hotel stay.
Back in 2010 we detailed 10 Most Ridiculous Hotel Fees, included the heinous WiFi charges, the confusing room service charges and the annoying resort fees.
The next year, we followed that up with 5 Hotels That Are Acting Like Airlines with Extra Fees and made it clear we did not like the fees for making a reservation over the phone, nor the early check-in fee and certainly not the baggage storage fee.
Just last year, we uncovered more hidden fees, including the fee for the bottled water on the night stand, the towel at the pool and the safe in the closet. And soon after that, we were blindsided by a random newspaper charge. #GRR. Most recently, we uncovered another sinister type of fee creeping around London, the minimum spend fee during peak hours at the bar.
But hotels want to make money, so fees for things you would expect to be free have long been how they do business. The only way to avoid these fees is to assume that everything you use inside your hotel room, save for the water, towels, and toiletries, will cost extra. Study the little notes placed around the room by the hotel, whether it be the mini-bar menu, or the note about WiFi placed on the desk, to see if there is a charge and how much it will be.
And of course, if a fee pops up unexpectedly on your bill, head right down to the front desk to dispute it. Just make sure you know how to effectively complain to them.

The 5 Worst Celebrity Hotel Guests
The types of crazy demands celebrities make when staying in hotels are tales as old as time, or as old as the hotel business. But requesting white tea candles and expensive linens are small-time compared to the outrageous behavior demonstrated by these 5 Worst Celebrity Hotel Guests. Here's who they are and why we hope they start using AirBnB more often:
LINDSAY LOHAN: Aside from ignoring a hotel's no-smoking rules, Lohan uses her guest room as a mini-storage space, carting in tons of clothing and jewelry that she probably won't wear but thinks she needs to wear to keep the paparazzi from catching her in the same outfit twice. Yet the smoke damage and the hoarding can be dealt with. Even the security logistics she requires can be managed. Lohan's biggest problem is that she doesn't have much money yet books suites at nice hotels and is known to run up the tab without ever paying it. And no hotel needs the "exposure" that badly.

This Hotel Will Charge You $500 for Writing a Negative Review
UPDATE: The hotel told CNBC the policy was a joke and "It was meant to be taken down long ago and certainly was never enforced." We say, "That's convenient."
UPDATE, 8.6.14: The owner has posted this apology and update on the hotel's Facebook page. While the negative review policy may have been a joke gone wrong, the hotel still has a bunch of other ridiculous policies. Be sure to read those in our story below.
Hotels have been striking back at online guests reviews over the past few years in various ways. The most popular and most sensible way is the constant responding of management to all reviews--good and bad (so long as you aren't a dick about it.) Then, there's the requesting of really bad reviews to be removed from the site, which TripAdvisor has agreed to recently, especially if the property has been renovated since the negative note. Hotels have also gone straight to the guests,
bribing them offering them perks during their stay or discounts for future stays if they write a positive review.
But this one hotel in Hudson, New York now has the audacity to charge wedding guests $500 for writing a negative review. Here's the controversial policy in place at the Union Street Guest House:
"There will be a $500 dollar fine that will be deducted from your deposit for every negative review of USGH place on any internet site by anyone in your party and/or attending your wedding even if you stay here to attend a wedding anywhere in the area and leave us a negative review on any internet site you agree to a $500 fine for each negative review."
The policy is in effect for wedding guests in the area and wedding parties at the Inn, not regular guests (although this a strange distinction to make.) The hotel will also refund the $500 if the review is taken down.
Um, yeah, well now that this policy is being condemned on the news, we can safely say this has back fired for the hotel.

Hotel Majestic Barričre in Cannes is Far From Majestic These Days
It's time for another Hotel Rant! Today, a reader tells us about a horribly disappointing stay in Cannes. More like can't. Har har. Got a hotel rant you want to share? Let us know!
Today all eyes are on the opening of the 67th edition of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival on the French Riviera. And where better to stay than right across the road at the five-star Cannes Majestic Barričre Hotel whose rooms have an unobstructed view of the red carpeted stairs so many have dreamed of ascending?
That's what we thought too, until we actually stayed at the hotel and witnessed how its low standards are making an utter mockery of the luxury hotel industry.

Smokin Willy catered my 10/4/2014 VA Vineyard wedding. They brought grills on site to serve chicken and steak. My wedding guests had nothing but great things to say about the food served, and enjoyed the experience of walking out to the grills to get their dinner. Chris Scharrer was a pleasure to work with. He was very familiar with our venue and offered great input, his staff was also extremely friendly and provided excellent service at the wedding. I would highly recommend Smokin Willy to cater a wedding or any upcoming event you may have!

Everyone absolutely raved about the food and we couldn't have been more pleased with the service of Chris and his team. Funny thing is that Chris called me a week before our wedding to relay that Tracey (whom we had worked with in the planning process) was no longer available to run the event BUT reassured us that it would be amazing and gave us his personal guarantee. He followed through on that!! Te food was amazing, his team set up the reception site wonderfully and they knocked it out of the park. They have this catering business down to a science. I HIGHLY recommend Chris and his team to anyone and have gladly relayed his contact to others that commented at our wedding. ?

Tracey and her team were fabulous! She was easy to contact, answered all of our questions, and was extremely flexible with our menu options. Our guests repeatedly told us how great the food was and kept going back for more! Her and her team went above and beyond our expectations for the set-up and clean-up. Our event could not have been successful without them!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Smokin Willy for our wedding. We were looking to have bbq/picnic style food for our reception, and Tracey Giffith completely understood our vision and helped us put together a fabulous menu for the cocktail hour and dinner. Right when we went in for our tasting, we knew we had found our caterer! Throughout the whole process, Tracey was very responsive and even came out for a site visit to get an idea of our venue and where the food prep and serve stations would be set up. She made everything so easy that we didn't need to worry about a single thing when it came to the food. The staff and cooks were wonderful as well! All food was prepared in a timely manner and they cleaned up everything so quickly and discretely.
The food was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend getting the pigs-in-a-blanket for an appetizer. They are divine! We also had burgers and grilled chicken, which were out of this world! All of our guests were raving about how delicious the food was.
We are so glad that we chose Smokin Willy for our wedding. I really believe that we couldn't have found a better caterer. They have the perfect combination of value, quality, professionalism, and delicious food. Thank you!!!

Our guests are still raving about the amazing food that Smokin' Willy served at our reception! Tracey and her team are AMAZING to work with - we couldn't have asked for a better caterer. Tracey answered all of our questions leading up to the big day, and helped my mom feel at ease and calm (not an easy feat!). The food was absolutely scrumptious. 110% recommend Smokin' Willy!!!!

We want to express our appreciation to the Smokin' Willy's team for the outstanding job catering our event.
From the start, they worked with us to plan a great menu and even accommodated our special requests. They maintained contact with us from the tasting through service of the food at the event. Their thorough communication with us made the party planning process much easier because we had no worries about the food.
When party day came, the Smokin' Willy's team was on time and organized with set up and food preparation. Appetizers and drinks were politely served and perfectly mixed to make a wonderful introduction to the evening. The end result was a buffet that was beautifully decorated and nicely presented to our guests.
However, the most important factor is always taste. Again, Smokin' Willy's came through with flying colors. Everyone commented on the deliciousness of the food. Confirmation on the quality of the food was that our guests were competing to take the leftovers home.
The party turned out to be a gigantic success and much of the credit goes to the Smokin' Willy's team for delicious food planned, prepared and served in a professional manner.
Thanks for everything and, rest assured, we will recommend Smokin' Willy's to anyone planning to cater an event.

Hands down, the most delicious food we have EVER had. We approached multiple caterers about our vision for our wedding - hearty comfort food done well (totally wanted to embrace the fact our wedding was in the middle of winter). We gave Tracey a list of our favorite comfort foods (chicken pot pie, mac&cheese, grilled cheese, VA BBQ, cornbread, sweet potato fries etc) and the result was unbelievable. To this day, many of our guests are contacting me saying that it was hands down the most delicious wedding meal they have ever had! So much so, that they went back for thirds, fourths, even FIFTHS! I also had a vision to host a "bubbly bar" and a "whiskey bar" at the wedding. Tracey helped us figure out exactly how much of everything drink related we needed to purchase, and made sure that each bar was a slamming success!
Aside from the outstanding food, Tracey was an absolute delight to work with. She was so accommodating to our needs and proved to be someone we could really trust throughout the wedding process. She pays great attention to detail and has a knack for taking people's visions and making them a reality - you will not regret working with her!

Everyone at the wedding loved the food! Most people ended up getting a second plate. The employees were on the ball and Tracy would always get back to me in 30 minutes or less when I sent her an email. She went above and beyond by making a schedule for the night so everything went smooth! We will be visiting the store so we can grab a bite to eat and remember the phenomenal food that we got to share with family and friends

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Smokin' Willy's! Tracey went out of her way to make sure that everything was just like we wanted it, she and her staff were so professional, helpful and did the most amazing job setting up; tearing down and cleaning up! They even left the kitchen in better condition than when they got there. It was so nice to know that we didn't have to worry about anything because Tracey and her staff had it all handled!
The food was more than amazing! We are getting calls asking us who our caterer was and we are not shy about telling them! We had brisket, chicken, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, grilled veggies, mac n cheese, cornbread and salad. Even one of our close friends who is extremely picky about his BBQ said it was the best that he has had in years!
Tracey was so helpful and responsive when it came to all the silly and last minute questions that we had, we couldn't have asked for a better person! Her staff did such a great job, they looked and acted professional, the bartender was perfect and they went out of their way for us and our guests!
I would definitely recommend Smokin' Willy's/Deli South to anyone having an event, not just a wedding. Working with Tracey made everything so easy and stress free!

My husband and I met in Texas, and so we wanted to have a Texas vibe at our wedding, complete with live music, a keg of Shiner beer, and of course, awesome BBQ! Smokin Willy's did an amazing job catering our wedding. Tracey was so accommodating and pleasant to work with, from the beginning til the end. The staff was extremely professional and helpful. Our guests loved the food, especially the brisket, which was very authentic. We would definitely recommend Smokin Willy's for any couple's wedding reception. And until we move back to Texas someday, we'll be going out to eat at Smokin Willy's often to get our BBQ fix!

We were looking for a BBQ joint in Loudon County, VA to cater our wedding--I'm a BBQ nut--and Smokin' Willy was the first--and the last place we tried. Their catering operates out of DeliSouth in Leesburg, and they absolutely blew me away. Their brisket was the absolute star of the show--the owner's wife is from Texas-- but the pulled pork, BBQ chicked, collards and mac and cheese were also spectacular. I've travelled all over the country eating BBQ and this was easily the best I've had in Virginia.
So that takes care of the food, but how was the service? First rate!!! Tracey the catering manager is a wonderful person and a true pro. She met with us five or six times, came out to our site twice and had everything under control at all times. On the actual wedding day she was working another event (a possibility we had known about) so Chris the owner ran the show and he was every bit as good. Their waitstaff and bartenders were friendly and professional, and were so good that we didn't need to think about catering for even a second on the wedding day.
We give Smokin' Willy's our enthusiatic, excited, thumbs up, absolutely no reservations recommendation.

I recently worked with Chris and Tracey at Smokin Willy for a wedding I was planning. I honestly don't know what I would have done without the two of them! When it came to coordinating the details together, Tracey was sure to help out in any way possible and was more than happy to give my clients exactly what they asked for. Prior to the event and on the day of, Chris was a phenomenal right hand man! I was also in the wedding, so it was such a relief to have someone I can trust to finish prepping and overseeing the set up. I really look forward to working with Smokin Willy again. I would very highly recommend them to anyone planning an event, no matter the casualty!

Smokin' Willy's catering is INCREDIBLE. I can't say enough positive things about them and we absolutely give them our strongest recommendation. We were very fortunate to have excellent vendors for our wedding, but Tracey at Smokin' Willy's takes the cake.
We had our wedding June 2013 at my husband's parents farm with approx 140 people on a 90 degree hot Virginia day.
The food was absolutely delicious. Pulled pork, Mac n' Cheese, sausage stuffed mushrooms just to name a few. . . did I mention the pulled pork??? We received so many compliments from our guests on the food!
They were so easy to work with and very flexible. Tracey was responsive by email and phone, helped us think of every last detail to ensure a smooth catering experience. Working with Tracey felt more like working with a family friend than a vendor. She even visited the property a few months before and the week before the wedding to ensure they understood the lay of the land and would be completely prepared. We really wanted to add many personal touches to our wedding including specific selections for beer/wine. They provided bartenders, set up, break down and everything we needed --- they moved quickly and guests never had to wait in a long line to get a drink. On that note, they set up 4 lines for the buffet and strategically called tables so the lines moved at lightening speed (there's nothing worse than waiting in line for your meal at a wedding!)

When my husband and I were first engaged, we were initially overwhelmed by the idea of finding a caterer. We simply could not find a caterer in Northern VA to fit our small budget. I exhausted every option. It's crazy how many people are unwilling to work within a budget less than $10,000. ;) We had a 2pm wedding, so we just wanted light food, not a huge meal. After much frustration, we stumbled upon Smokin' Willy and decided to contact them. Tracey contacted us right away and assured us it would be possible to work within our budget....in fact she went UNDER our budget of $3,000 for about 200 guests! Tracey really found a way to magically make everything work. We received constant compliments on the food during the reception...honestly, you would never know that we spent so little.
In addition to all this awesome food, is Tracey's knowledge and willingness to work with special diets. My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease during our engagement, and Tracey was one of the first people I contacted. She provided me with so much valuable information on the disease and created THE best gluten free food we have ever had for the wedding, specifically for my husband and me!
I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone!

Tracey and Chris did an excellent job with helping us prepare for our daughter's wedding. With less than seven months for planning, Tracey and Chris were easy to work with, patient and gave us great advice on all aspects of the wedding. I really felt that they were invested in making her wedding very special and our lives stress free. The catering and food that Smokin Willy's provided was flawless. Our family and friends are still letting us know how tasty the food was especially for an outdoor wedding. So many were impressed that the meat was cooked right on site and to perfection. The staff stayed on top of everything and were very professional and well organized. We will definitely keep Smokin Willy's on the top of our list for future events and will visit them at both Deli South and Smokin Willy's. THANKS AGAIN Michelle and Tom

Nov 08, 2012 Bob Buskirk Full Systems, Multimedia, Reviews 6
Using a touchscreen is something we are used to with our mobile phones and tablets but it really has not translated to the desktop all that well. Yes there have been all-in-one touchscreen systems, but for the most part they have been clunky and Windows 7 really is not made for a touchscreen. This all changes with Windows 8. The Metro interface in Windows 8 is more or less designed to be used with a touchscreen device. Today we are checking out Lenovo's flagship all-in-one and their largest as well with a 27-inch touchscreen display. The IdeaCentre A720 features a very sleek and thin design, NVIDIA GeForce Graphics, a TV tuner, HDMI in and out, WiFi, Bluetooth and much more. Read on as we have some fun and check out this system.

Keene's shot lifts Youngstown St. over UMKC 66-63
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) Marcus Keene hit a 3-pointer with 4.2 seconds remaining to give Youngstown State a 66-63 victory over UMKC on Wednesday night.
Keene's basket came after UMKC's Martez Harrison drove to the basket and scored, tying the game for the seventh time with 16.7 seconds left. A final desperation shot by the Kangaroos was short.
Keene scored 18 of his 21 points in the second half and put in the Penguins' last nine points. Shawn Amiker added 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Penguins.

About 50 people turned out at Clark Memorial Clubhouse on Thursday, Jan. 5, to share ideas about roughly two acres of land within the long-dormant The Highlands subdivision, now know as Crossroads at Mingus.
If the land is to become a park, will it be an active park or a passive park, or perhaps both? Those were the questions organizers wanted answered at the forum conducted by Community Development Director Jodi Filardo.
The Crossroads at Mingus is located near the intersection of Scenic Drive and Old Jerome Highway. The subdivision is platted with two parks to be dedicated to the town as community parks, Filardo said.
The meeting was the first of several to gather public comment from Clarkdale residents about the type of park these plots will become. Since Clarkdale residents will be the most likely users of the park, developers want to hear from them first before anything goes up.
"Nothing is set in stone," Project Manager Steve Biasini told the gathering. "We're not in a position to build anything right now."
The developer is willing to create whatever design the town desires, so long as it is within budget, Biasini said.
Filardo presented a preliminary design for the park and asked for comments. The preliminary drawing shows renovations to a large disturbed area formerly occupied by a wastewater plant. It includes seven parking spaces and divides the park into passive and active sections.
Parks may be considered passive on several levels. The most passive use is viewing, including views of nature, seasonal interest and human activities, Filardo said.
Passive recreation includes hiking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, biking and other non-motorized activities, she said.
"In other words, no organized sports that require athletic fields such as soccer, baseball or other types of active recreational uses," Filardo said.
Passive parks are for small groups and individuals. They do not depend on a delineated area designed for specific activities.
In contrast, well-designed active parks include flexible spaces that accommodate a range of occasional activities. It should allow separate activities that can be enjoyed in relative privacy without disturbing adjacent areas, Filardo said.
Active parks usually include an open, gently-sloping lawn for spontaneous activities and an area for unstructured softball, soccer, Frisbee and pick-up games. They also include formal fields, outdoor courts, picnic shelters, restrooms and event areas.
Charles Seiverd and Sarah Irani attended the meeting with their children. They would like to see specific amenities at the park.
Irani would like to see an open area for locals to grow fruit and other kinds of produce. Seiverd wants park facilities in need of water to use gray water, which is recycled drinking water.
David Stiller of Sedona, who purchased a lot in the subdivision as an investment, said he would like to see more focus on roads and utilities, infrastructure the subdivision lacks that is preventing Stiller from building on his land.
Without the infrastructure, Stiller cannot obtain a certificate of occupancy from the town, Town Manager Gayle Mabery said.
Residents will have additional opportunities to discuss the parks at the Wednesday, Jan. 18, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting and at a future Design Review Board meeting to be scheduled Tuesday, Feb. 14, Mabery said.

Boiko Borisov, leader of the opposition party GERB, returned the mandate for forming a new Bulgarian government to Bulgaria's President Rosen Plevneliev.
On Friday Plevneliev will give the mandate to the second largest group in Parliament – the Bulgarian Socialist Party. Next on the list is the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS).

text: November 13, 2014 at 5:00 AM Special education is ineffective and too expensive, report says Posted by John Higgins In 2013, 76 percent of Washington's students graduated from high school within four years, but only about 54 percent of students with disabilities got their diplomas on time. Graduates with disabilities move on to higher education at less than half the rate of their peers. And in several large Washington school districts, special education students are between 2 and 3 times more likely to be suspended or expelled than their peers. But the vast majority of children in special education do not have disabilities that prevent them from tackling the same rigorous academic subjects as general education students if they get the proper support, so those low numbers reflect shortcomings in the system, not the students. Those are among the findings of a report to the state Legislature released Wednesday detailing the need for a statewide "blue ribbon" commission to improve the way the state's schools educate children with special needs.

If they find the gateway, they'll lead everyone into reality, Foo will empty out and the lack of dreams will destroy humanity. Although Clover's former "burn" (or master) knew all about the gateway and took him through it about fourteen years ago, Clover never got to see it and doesn't know where it is. A Lithen named Geth who knows where the gateway is had been captured and transformed into a seed by Sabine, but Clover knows that his burn got the seed and planted in in reality. Thus Leven and Clover set out to find Geth so that they can enter Foo and destroy the only way out.There are Five Books:

At the shore, Grottomon throws a tantrum, declaring that he�ll have to do something about Garmmon if he wants the other kids� Spirits. He creates a Golemon from the earth, hoping to use him as a weapon against Garmmon.With the group back together, the kids discuss Izumi�s loss of her Spirit to Gigasmon; while Takuya wants to head to Forest Terminal, Junpei wants to get Izumi�s Spirit back, and when Kouji voices his opinion that they shouldn�t charge brashly into things, Junpei responds with resentment that Kouji not only got to keep his Spirit but also managed to get a Beast Spirit of his own. Takuya and Tomoki try to intervene and Izumi says that they should keep going to Forest Terminal, but Bokomon decides to settle the disagreement by taking all of them to see a Shamamonnote for some fortune telling.At the village, they�re haggled by all kinds of shady-looking fortune tellers, and the kids express doubt that any of this is more than just a scam. Bokomon, however, insists that Shamamon is the real deal, and takes them to Shamamon�s castle. Shamamon warns Takuya and Tomoki that soon something dangerous will befall them, and that they could die if they don�t deal with it properly. The fortune-telling session is interrupted by Grottomon and Gigasmon, and as Shamamon stays behind in his castle, he�s startled by a light shining behind him...Takuya, Junpei, and Tomoki spirit evolve, and when Kouji tries to follow suit, he ends up trapped in a pentagram Grottomon draws on the ground and unable to move. Golemon proves to be extremely strong against them, but Agnimon, Blitzmon, and Chakmon manage to knock him away with a combination attack. In response, Grottomon slide evolves to Gigasmon and defeats Chakmon, taking his spirit and reverting him to Tomoki. Suddenly, a large and ferocious Digimon emerges from Shamamon�s castle, whom Bokomon recognizes as the Legendary Warrior Vritramon[[note]BurningGreymon[[/note]] of Fire, and Agnimon realizes that Vritramon is the Beast Spirit that he�s looking for.Vritramon is strong enough to completely destroy the re-emerging Golemon and cause Gigasmon to flee, and but Izumi and Tomoki are apprehensive of Vritramon, who�s going on a rampage. Agnimon hears a voice from Vritramon begging him to help and defeat him, expanding that he - Shamamon - had seen a light in his palace, found it to be the Beast Spirit of Fire, and had tried to touch it only for it to take control of him and go crazy. Agnimon tries to release Shamamon from the Beast Spirit by defeating Vritramon, and when Shamamon manages to retake control for a second, Agnimon uses the opportunity to slam him into the ground and scan the Beast Spirit, reverting Vritramon to Shamamon.There�s only one problem: scanning the spirit makes it enter Takuya�s Digivice, and the Beast Spirit immediately slide evolves Agnimon into Vritramon. Despite the other kids� attempts to make him get a hold of himself, Takuya isn�t able to control the Beast Spirit either, and Kouji is left with no choice but to spirit evolve to Garmmon in order to stop him.

Class of 2010: 'Welcome Home to the Real World'
Global Visions, Challenges to Dream Celebrate Heights of Academics Achievement
Zagats Offer Survey of Wisdom to 2010 Graduates
Class of 2010 Challenged to Embrace Change
By Melinda Law
Emily Malone '10 is a nutrition lover, vegetarian
chef, marathon runner and one of 432 students
who walked across the Time Warner Cable stage
to receive a diploma at the 5th Charlotte Campus
Commencement. Her blog, "The Front Burner,"
recapping classes at JWU, favorite reads, recipes
and homework was voted Charlotte's Best Food
Blog by Creative Loafing magazine for its Charlotte
Web Awards 2010. Her degree marks another
chapter in her journey.
It was a leap of faith that drove Malone to leave
a full-time job in nonprofit fundraising and event
planning, and move eight hours away from friends
and family to Charlotte. She took up running in
2007 and has since run in five marathons. "I had
become really interested in health and nutrition
as I became a better runner. Running and getting
healthy really changed a lot about me, and it made
me want to try to take that passion and turn it into
a career," she says.
"Today, we have come here to complete this
part of our lives, but tomorrow starts the beginning
of what we worked hard to accomplish," student
speaker Heather Head '10, a marketing major from
the College of Business, told Malone and fellow
graduates of the Class of 2010.
"I remember bonding over group projects, club
meetings, competitions, late nights and spring
breaks," she continued. "It is our time to embrace
our lives and the knowledge we've acquired, and
jump headfirst into the areas of business, culinary
arts, baking and pastry and hospitality."
Walter J. L. Royal '10 Hon., executive chef
of Angus Barn and The Pavilions at the Angus Barn
in Raleigh, NC, and recipient of an honorary
doctorate, assured graduates their time at JWU
was of significant value. "In becoming an educated
person, you build a foundation, and a foundation,
a very solid foundation, is something that will
prepare you for all the challenges ahead." And vast
choices abound.
"There is no doubt that you are graduating at
a time when the economy is challenging," said
Patricia A. Rodgers '10 Hon., hooded for an honorary
doctoral degree in business administration.
"You may wonder how that will impact your
future and how your career will be shaped as a
result of the current business climate," the CEO of Rodgers Builders Inc. continued. "I encourage
you to be optimistic. Remain resilient and do all
that you can to position yourself for a career that
will bring you fulfillment."
Malone and her fellow graduates are already
finding employment locally and changing the
face of Charlotte as restaurants and hotels grab
grads for key positions. Rose Hand '10 begins
work as a marketing manager for Chartwells
and the Compass Group; Amanda Netch '10
is joining Charlotte's Hospitality House,
Kaitlyn Greene '10, Charlotte Arrangements and
Katy Charles '10 and Jessica Allen '10 have
positions with LIVE NATION, Verizon Wireless.
Bank of America and Wachovia, headquartered
in the second largest banking city
in the world, are training College of Business
grads and putting them on the management
fast track. Todd Credidio '09 works in equity
trading operations for Wells Fargo.
Malone is spending the
summer as a culinary intern
at US Department
of Agriculture certified
organic Poplar Ridge Farm, 20 minutes south of
Charlotte. "A vegetarian myself, I'm hoping to
eventually work in food media and education,
helping others create healthy meals, and showing
people how to create easy and nutritious food.
Through my blog, which has over 2,500 daily
readers, I'm hoping to inspire."
After ceremonies, graduates poured out
of the arena and into the arms of pleased parents,
cheering relatives and friends. Wherever they are
headed, it is with confidence and experience.
In her blog, Malone posted, "I thank my
lucky stars that I was given
the opportunity to start my
professional life over. In just
one short year at Johnson
& Wales University, I learned
more about food and cooking
than I ever thought possible."

According to a new company named ManServants, what women really want is "a man who treats you like a queen." And what queens want, apparently, are personal butlers/handymen/fake boyfriends. (But not, to be clear, strippers or gigolos.) The San Francisco company will hire "ManServant" who meets your exact specifications — any hair color, any dress code — who will answer to any name you call him. He'll address all his female clients as "my lady" and respond to any request with "as you wish." The ManServant will serve you drinks, fix your flats, chauffer you around, and even speak in an accent if you so desire.
And all it takes is cold hard cash! I already have attractive friends. What I don't have is a minion who does chores. Let's pool our savings, shall we? Some task ideas for the ManServant I will definitely spend my hard-earned money on: Keep reading »

That's one of the first questions I put to artist Caitlin Hurd about
her oil paintings, which feature dazed, inert figures floating through
the landscape. But they aren't floating as much as sleepwalking,
according to Hurd. "It all started with how I wanted to live
my life," she says. "Dealing with expectations of finding a husband,
making babies, living in a house—it felt like I could go through all of
the motions but be sleepwalking through life. That's why I try to do
whatever I do with purpose—thinking about what I'm doing before I do
it," she says.
Meeting artist and Studio Incamminati instructor Lea Colie
Wight was a little bit like meeting a favorite celebrity and miracle worker all
rolled into one. Lea's execution and subject matter resonates with me, but it
is her perseverance and desire to share common experiences in painting that
really lights the way, inspiring me to turn works of art that I'd given up on
as disasters into paintings worth saving.
One of
the things I love best as the editor for Artist Daily is getting to know the
artists in our community. A few weeks ago, I saw a mixed media portrait in the
Member Gallery that caught my attention. The painting--a girl with wild,
colorful hair and a tranquil expression on her face--looked like some kind of punk-rock
angel. The contrast of bold colors in the figure's hair--red and blue--and her sweet,
tender face were startling and lovely.
I've always dreamed of having something, anything—shoes, a coat, a
car!—custom made. While all of those are pretty much still out of my
reach, I know that I can custom design how I get my art training. There are a lot of options out there for us art-minded folk, but I spoke to Rob Zeller, director of the Teaching Studios of Art, to get some guidance on what I should look for in art classes and what kinds of art instruction are out there to choose from.
Artists aren't superheroes. No capes, no spandex onesies, and no
butlers named Alfred. Artists don't necessarily lead extraordinary
lives in which they paint or draw between bouts of saving the world.
Artists are like you and me. They are you and me, actually. We
all go about our day-to-day lives and amidst the daily to-dos and
stressors we try to recognize inspiration when it hits, and then we try
to find enough time to actually do something about it.

'Idol' paces Fox to win on a down night
Reality show averages a 4.6 in 18-49s, off 15 percent
February 7, 2013
Several top broadcast shows fell to season lows last night, including Fox's "American Idol" and ABC's "Modern Family."
"Idol," the night's top show, paced Fox to yet another Wednesday win despite the decline.
The reality program drew a 4.6 from 8 to 10 p.m., according to Nielsen overnights, off 15 percent from last week and its lowest Wednesday outing this season.
"Idol" won every half hour against the other broadcast competition.
It was hardly the only show to see ratings fall last night. "Family," the evening's top scripted series, drew a 3.8 at 9 p.m., down 10 percent from its most recent original episode two weeks ago.
Another strong Wednesday show, CBS's "Criminal Minds," dipped 13 percent week to week to a season-low 2.7.
There were a few programs to buck the trend. ABC's "The Neighbors (1.8) and "Suburgatory" (2.1) both grew, though they faced easy comparisons to last week, when they both fell to season lows.
And the CW's "Arrow" was up 11 percent week to week to a 1.0
Fox led the night among 18-49s with a 4.6 average overnight rating and a 13 share. ABC was second at 2.2/6, CBS third at 2.1/6, NBC fourth at 1.5/4, Univision fifth at 1.4/4, CW sixth at 1.0/3 and Telemundo seventh at 0.4/1.
As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback, which includes shows replayed before 3 a.m. the night before. Seven-day DVR data won't be available for several weeks. Forty-seven percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.
At 8 p.m. Fox was first with a 4.4 for "Idol," followed by ABC with a 2.1 for "The Middle" (2.3) and "Neighbors" (1.8). Univision was third with a 1.5 for "Por Ella Soy Eva." CBS and NBC tied for fourth at 1.2, CBS for a repeat of "Person of Interest" and NBC for "Whitney (1.2) and "Guys With Kids" (1.2, up 9 percent from last week). The CW was sixth with a 1.0 for "Arrow" and Telemundo seventh with a 0.4 for "Pasion Prohibida."
Fox was first again at 9 p.m. with a 4.7 for more "Idol," while ABC remained second with a 3.0 for "Family" (3.8) and "Suburgatory" (2.1). CBS was third with a 2.7 for "Minds," Univision fourth with a 1.6 for "Amores Verdaderos," NBC fifth with a 1.5 for "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," CW sixth with a 0.9 for "Supernatural" and Telemundo seventh with a 0.5 for "La Patrona."
CBS moved to first at 10 p.m. with a 2.4 for "CSI," with NBC second with a 1.8 for "Chicago Fire." ABC was third with a 1.7 for "Nashville," Univision fourth with a 1.2 for "Amor Bravio" and Telemundo fifth with a 0.4 for "El Rostro de la Venganza."
Fox also finished first for the night among households with an 8.4 average overnight rating and a 13 share. CBS was second at 6.5/10, ABC third at 4.5/7, NBC fourth at 3.4/5, Univision fifth at 1.9/3, CW sixth at 1.6/2 and Telemundo seventh at 0.6/1.

By Jeremy Gordon on October 16, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. EDT
U2 have slowly begun an apology tour for the surprise, free iTunes release of their new album, Songs of Innocence. First, they made it easier for listeners to delete the album; then, Bono expressed regret for the way it just showed up on people's computers. Now, more criticism has come U2's way. The Black Keys' Patrick Carney has disparaged U2's release strategy, saying it "devalued their music completely," in an interview with The Seattle Times (via Billboard).

Tonight, BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast the annual John Peel Lecture, which features a "notable figure from the music industry" talking about "music and music-related media." The lecture is named in honor of the late, legendary radio broadcaster John Peel. This year also marks 10 years since Peel's death.
This year's lecturer was Iggy Pop. The topic was "Free Music in a Capitalist Society"; naturally, U2's recent album launch was discussed. Check out the audio here. Update: The full transcript is available here.
U2 Quietly Release Songs of Innocence Vinyl, Now Eligible for 2015 Grammys
By Jeremy Gordon on September 30, 2014 at 12:07 p.m. EDT
You probably already have a copy of U2's Songs of Innocence, because it was given away for free by the band and Apple. (In fact, there's probably a chance you don't want your copy of Songs of Innocence, and have specifically endeavored to delete it.) But in case you want to buy it on vinyl, it's in stores today in limited amounts, as Rolling Stone points out. And you have the Grammys to thank, apparently.

Apple Launches Site to Help You Remove the U2 Album From Your iTunes
By Jeremy Gordon on September 15, 2014 at 3:04 p.m. EDT
Last week, U2 surprised-released their newest album, Songs of Innocence, by giving it away for free to all 500 million iTunes users. There was some blowback, however, as not everyone was particularly happy to find a U2 album in their cloud. (Particularly those users with the "automatic downloads" feature turned on, who automatically got the album downloaded to their devices.) It was seen as a violation of privacy for some, the forced experience of a U2 album for others.

The beautiful demi parure of necklace and bracelet is made of a richly bright goldtone with just enough rhinestones to lift it into the glamour category, deserving its name "Celestial Fire".
The necklace has a design of loops of goldtone metal, centered by a row of rhinestones. The bracelet is similar, but has goldtone circles instead of loops.
The necklace is 17 inches in length, including the beautiful link chain which is interspersed with more rhinestones. The bracelet is 7 inches in length, with a safety chain.
The necklace has a tag marked Sarah Cov, and the bracelet is marked SAC on the clasp (see photo).
