St. Petersburg is a city defined by beautiful squares, ornate, onion-topped cathedrals and grandiose palaces. While not as big or bustling as the nation's cosmopolitan capital of Moscow, travelers can still receive a royal treatment - they need only book a room at the Taleon Imperial Hotel, a former palace dating back more than 250 years ago.
A portrait of the artist's retreat
One of the top sights in St. Petersburg is the Winter Palace, originally commissioned by Empress Elizabeth and eventually finished under the direction of Empress Catherine the Great. Yet, while that palace stands as an iconic landmark, another building served as the royal home before its completion. In 1755, Empress Elizabeth had a wooden residence constructed near the Moika River, which was later presented to the Chief of Police in St. Petersburg by Catherine. He had his own palace built on the site, which eventually became a symbol of Catherine's reign and an architectural treasure of the city, according to the Taleon Imperial Hotel.
Over the years it also became the stage for concerts, masquerades and other cultural goings-on in the city. The building passed hands and turned into a hotel, but continually grew in cultural notoriety, at one point hosting a cultural salon in its Grand Ballroom and at another boasting one of the most modish restaurants in town. It once served as the residence of the Eliseevs, a patron family of the arts, and later turned into a center for revolutionary artists in the 20th century. After years of war and neglect, the building was finally restored in the 1990s, eventually becoming the Taleon Imperial Hotel.
The hotel today
Guests can still bask in the elegant culture of this former palace. Multiple restaurants offer history and tradition in the form of authentic Russian cuisine, while the Griboedov and Atlantes bars provide a place to kick back from cocktail hour until the evening. Those looking for a less formal affair can always head to the Atrium Café.
The accommodations inside the hotel are grand and charming, but its location in St. Petersburg helps make it second to none. Nearby are some of the city's greatest landmarks, including the Winter Palace, the Hermitage Museum, St. Isaac's Cathedral and even the Church of Our Savior of the Spilled Blood - instantly recognizable by its colorful, oddly shaped domes.
(Athens, Mykonos)
Embark on this adventure through sundrenched Greece. Explore Athens, Mykonos and Santorini, and get happily lost in its vast and varied landscape and abundant treasures of antiquity. Book this Kensington classic itinerary as is by Dec 15th 2014, for travel anytime between May 1st - October 31st 2015, and save $1000 per couple!

Possible candidates for German presidency
BERLIN, Feb 17 (Reuters) – Germany's conservative
Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday she would consult the
centre-left opposition about a consensus candidate to replace
Christian Wulff, who quit over a series of allegations about
favours and his private finances.
Merkel hand-picked Wulff, a politician from her Christian
Democratic Union (CDU), for the largely ceremonial post of head
of state in 2010 after the former International Monetary Fund
head Horst Koehler resigned as German president.
German President Wulff quits over sleaze probe
BERLIN (Reuters) – Angela Merkel's hand-picked choice for the ceremonial post of president was expected to resign Friday in a scandal over political favors, dealing a blow to the German chancellor in the midst of the euro zone crisis.
Christian Wulff, who has been under fire for months, was to give a statement at 1000 GMT. Merkel abruptly postponed a trip to Rome where she was to hold talks with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, and scheduled a news conference for after Wulff speaks.

Germans bury Prussia taboo to fete Frederick
POTSDAM, Germany (Reuters) – Portraits of Frederick the Great line the streets, bookshops are bursting with new biographies, talk shows debate his legacy and toymaker Steiff has made a limited edition teddy bear of the Prussian ruler in his blue uniform coat and tricorn hat.
Germans gearing up for a year of celebrations to mark Frederick's 300th birthday are showing a new, relaxed pride in the much-disputed figure and in Prussia itself, long considered a byword for the militarism glorified by the Nazis.
Newly bequeathed letter shows Beethoven's misery
BERLIN (Reuters) – A rare handwritten letter by German composer Ludwig van Beethoven complaining about illness and a lack of money has turned up at a northern German institute as part of a bequest, causing excitement among lovers of the musical genius.
The Brahms Institute in the northern city of Luebeck said the six-page letter bearing the composer's signature and original seal was, in essence, an attempt to sell his well-known "Missa solemnis" mass which he completed in 1823.
German president under renewed fire after apology
BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany's top-selling Bild newspaper said on Thursday it planned to publish a potentially explosive transcript of a message left by President Christian Wulff for its editor trying to stop the publication of an embarrassing home loan story.
The move could further damage Wulff who on Wednesday went on television to try to defuse an escalating scandal about the private loan and his apparent attempt to pressure the paper.
German media attack president after he vows to stay
BERLIN (Reuters) – German media and opposition lawmakers renewed their attacks on President Christian Wulff on Thursday after he went on television to try to defuse an escalating home loan scandal and made clear he intended to cling to his job.
Wulff looks set to ride out the storm for now, not least because he still has the backing of Chancellor Angela Merkel who pushed for his election to the largely ceremonial post in 2010.
German president admits "grave mistake", won't resign
BERLIN (Reuters) – German President Christian Wulff admitted on Wednesday making a "grave mistake" by trying to stop a paper publishing an embarrassing story about a home loan, but said he had no plans to resign.
The scandal that has swirled around Wulff since mid-December risks becoming a major distraction for Chancellor Angela Merkel as she tries to focus on solving the euro zone debt crisis.
Merkel backs German president amid media scandal
BERLIN, Jan 4 (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela
Merkel gave her backing on Wednesday to President Christian
Wulff, who has faced growing pressure to resign for trying to
stop Germany's top-selling newspaper from publishing an
embarrassing story on a home loan scandal.
The scandal is becoming a major distraction for Merkel as
she tries to focus on solving the euro zone debt crisis. Critics
say it reflects badly on her judgement as she pushed for Wulff's
election in 2010 over a popular opposition candidate.
Pressure mounts on German president after media threat
BERLIN (Reuters) – German President Christian Wulff faced growing pressure to step aside on Tuesday after several conservative allies turned against him for trying to kill an embarrassing newspaper story on a home loan scandal.
Waning support from parties in Angela Merkel's centre-right coalition, which voted Wulff into office 18 months ago, underscored how precarious his position is and raised the risk of the scandal becoming a major distraction for the chancellor as she grapples with the euro zone debt crisis.

Golf notes: Birthday treat for Jordan Spieth at Preston Trail
Paramus, N.J. • Jordan Spieth celebrated a big birthday with friends in Las Vegas, had a two-week stretch at Firestone and the PGA Championship, and then headed home to Texas to take advantage of the biggest perk to turning 21.
He finally played Preston Trail.
The private club in Dallas is strict about its rules, and one of them is that a player has to be at least 21. Never mind that Spieth contended at the Bryon Nelson Championship while still in high school. Or that he became the youngest American to ever compete in the Presidents Cup. Or that he reached No. 7 in the world when he was 20.
"I must have played Bent Tree about 50 times and I always looked over at Preston Trail knowing I couldn't go over there," Spieth said. "When I was playing in college, or even last year as a professional, I'd get home and a couple of buddies would say, 'Yeah, we're going over to Preston Trail.'"
He was invited to play by Malcolm Holland, a Preston Trail member and prominent USGA official. Spieth said the superintendent prepared for their visit by rolling the greens twice and finding some of the toughest pin positions. He played with former U.S. Amateur champion Colt Knost and Carlos Ortiz, who tops the Web.com Tour money list.
It was everything Spieth thought it would be.
"Like a tour event without the rough," he said. "We played 16 holes when the storms rolled in. I was at 6 under with a putt to go to 7. I was up a bunch of money and it washed all the bets. So I still haven't played 17 or 18. I told them the fact we didn't finish means we get another round."
Scott Verplank, another Dallas prodigy, laughed when he heard the story. He has his own tale.
Verplank was 17 when he received a phone call from Byron Nelson. It seems Lord Byron had been seeing some remarkable scores by Verplank in the newspaper and wanted to get together.
"He said, 'Why don't you meet me at Preston Trail?'" Verplank said. "So we go out there and I probably hit about six balls. Here comes the head pro. He says, 'Young man, how old are you?' I told him I was 17. He said, 'You're not going to be able to hit golf balls here.' Then he said, 'Mr. Nelson, y'all are going to have to leave. The club rule is you have to be 21.'
"Byron didn't know," Verplank said. "And me being 17, I was like, 'You're telling THIS guy he has to leave?'"
So they went to Northwood and played 18 holes.
Verplank eventually got in his round — and a lot more — at Preston Trail. He won an NCAA title at Oklahoma State. He won the U.S. Amateur. He won his first PGA Tour while still in college. And when he turned pro, he joined Preston Trail.
"My goal was to join when I was 21," he said. "I've been a member for 29 years now."
EARLY EXIT: The PGA Tour policy for a 54-hole cut — in effect when more than 78 players qualify for the weekend — was not popular among the players when it began in 2008 at the Sony Open. Imagine how much attention it got during the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Brian Davis was No. 100 in the FedEx Cup, and the top 100 advance to the second playoff event. He not only made the cut, he was five shots out of the lead going into the weekend, a real chance to move up. Instead, he went the other direction. Davis shot 77 and finished out of the top 70s and ties on Saturday. He missed the 54-hole cut. His season was over.
Scott Langley (No. 73) was four shots out of the lead. He shot 76 and made the 54-hole cut on the number. The next day, Langley closed with a 66 and wound up improving eight spots to No. 65. Now he has a reasonable shot at advancing to the third playoff event.

Drunks can be such a royal pain in the ass. The falling-down ones tend to be comic or tragic or both, which keeps them from being boring. But how do you live with a maintenance drinker who has become laboriously convinced of his own great importance, and views the other people in his life as through a glass, darkly.
Consider Alan James (Rip Torn), the subject of Ira Sachs' "Forty Shades of Blue." He is a legend in Memphis, where at a time remembered by him more vividly than by anyone else, he was instrumental in the interracial union of country, R&B and the blues. This produced music less interesting than the pure forms of each, but could be sold to consumers who didn't know much about any. As the film opens, Alan is being honored at a banquet at which everyone except him seems to be attending as a duty. Extraordinary, how little interaction he has with any of the other guests, except for a tarty tramp he sneaks away with.
He came to the banquet with his girlfriend. This is Laura (Dina Kor-zun), who he met when she was a translator for his group of English-speaking businessmen in Moscow. She moved with him to Memphis, where they live in what she (and maybe he) thinks of as a luxury home, although it is furnished like a show home circa 1970.
After the banquet is over, Laura lingers for a while, waiting in the bar, but Alan has disappeared. She has been left behind -- not abandoned, which would be bad enough, but forgotten. She makes her way home. It is not the first time something like this has happened.
Laura has seen terrible things in her lifetime. We sense that. She puts up with almost anything from Alan because she has spent years putting up with worse. But how does Alan put up with himself? And how happy is he when Michael (Darren Burrows), his son from a previous marriage, turns up in town? We don't have to be told that Michael has seen his father at his worst, probably saw his own mother treated as Laura is now being treated, and therefore has none of the standard dislike for the new girlfriend. She's a victim, and they float around the house like victims of an emotional shipwreck.
There is a scene of some mastery, involving a party Alan throws in his own backyard. A big barbeque, with lots of booze and live music. His guests represent a cross-section of the Memphis music communities, black and white, young and old, and they all have one thing in common: A vast indifference to Alan. Watch him move through this gathering like a ghost at a banquet. Listen to his speech, at which with a grandiose gesture he tries to make things up with Laura; he is so ignorant of healthy human emotion that he has no idea he is only insulting her again, publicly.
There is poignancy to his character, yes. He and Laura have a small son named Sam. He feels love for the boy, but it is generic love, marked down and not made of the finest ingredients. His heart is incapable of the manufacture of brand-name emotions. Every day for him is essentially a balancing act between his enormous regard for himself, his need to be drunk enough but not too drunk, and the sullen enjoyment of his possessions. His human relationships maintain his cover; he would prefer to devote his days to being pleasantly sloshed and acknowledging applause.
The story then essentially becomes Laura's, because she is the one who can feel, and change. The question for her is, at what emotional cost is a comfortable life in Memphis overpriced? To be sure, Alan sometimes stirs himself to express warm sentiments and touch her gently, but she has grown beyond the point where these gestures work; he can touch, but she can't be touched, so they are working in different dimensions.
"Forty Shades of Blue" won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2005. It might also have deserved acting awards for Torn and Korzun. I despised the character of Alan James so sincerely that I had to haul back at one point to remind myself that, hey, I've met Rip Torn and he's a nice guy and he's only acting. He's acting so well he not only creates this character, but makes him into an object lesson. Sometimes the worst drunks aren't the ones who pass out or go down in flames, but the ones who just go on and on, relentlessly, staggering under the weight of their emptiness.

I think everyone should get a free respec (a proper one, not a forced respec) in the next week or two just to help cover people who messed up.
Didn't we gain a free respec at the same time as the forced respec? My main character had no respec tokens left yet I have one available on Holodeck so it had to have come from the forced respec as I haven't purchased a token since before December.

Ubuntu Linux For Mobile Phones Announced
Published on 02 January 2013 01:15 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
49 Comments
Canonical officially announced Ubuntu Phone OS today, it's attempt at pushing the popular desktop Linux distribution onto mobile devices. However, for the moment, if you're just an end-user don't get too excited.
Mark Shuttleworth announced Ubuntu for phones today after previously having talked publicly about
Ubuntu ambitions for mobile phones
. Canonical hopes to deliver a new user-interface and mobile experience for those using Ubuntu OS via a voice-controlled HUD and other innovations.
It will be interesting to see how Ubuntu Phone OS works out for Canonical, but before getting excited, there isn't yet any major mobile phone vendor or carrier that's backing this Linux operating system. Additionally, making Ubuntu Phone OS not too interesting for most Linux enthusiasts will be Canonical's focus for pushing the platform for low-end phones. We could end up seeing Ubuntu on higher-end phones, but likely no serious competition to the Apple iPhone or high-end Android phones for a while. Canonical sees the lower-end space as being more likely to bear fruit for the company.
Canonical will continue pushing Ubuntu for Android in time being while I wouldn't expect anything too exciting for Ubuntu Phone OS for at least another year. This new Ubuntu effort will be shown off next week in Las Vegas at the annual Consumer Electronics Show.
Embedded below is the video of Mark Shuttleworth talking about Canonical's new mobile phone play.
Canonical is also still trying to push
Ubuntu for TVs
