I was looking into a way for the PC to use cards (like what is found in the Red Box) instead of continually referring to the PHB.
I came across an example item on Amazon:
And as I read the reviews, one of them states:
*NOTE TO BUYERS* If you're using the "Essentials" line rule books then these cards are of very little value. The blank cards can be used to create the powers necessary for the Essentials line however.
However, if you're using the Player Handbooks and don't want to use the updated Essentials rule books then these cards will be very useful.
Being new at this hobbie, what is the difference between the "Player Handbook" and the "updated Essentials rule book" ? I assumed these cards were printouts from the cards in the PHB.
To add more confusion we are finishing up the "Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Game: An Essential D&D Starter (4th Edition D&D)" and was recommended to go next to the "Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms: An Essential Dungeons & Dragons Supplement (4th Edition D&D)" which has "Essential" and "4e" in the title?!
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated.

|Anderson's 10 RBIs lead Angels; rookie pitches Tigers past Tribe
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 21 August 2007 23:12
The Detroit Tigers also got an exceptional effort in an important game - from a 21-year-old pitcher making his second big league start.
Anderson drove in a team-record 10 runs, hitting a grand slam and a three-run homer Tuesday night in the Angels' 18-9 rout of visiting New York.
The three-time All-Star also had a two-run double and an RBI double, becoming the 12th player in major league history to have 10 RBIs in a game. He was the first to reach double digits since Yankees star Alex Rodriguez also had 10 against the Angels on April 26, 2005.
``It was an incredible night for Garret,'' Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said.
The same was true for Tigers rookie Jair Jurrjens, who allowed only one hit in a 2-1 victory over the Indians at Comerica Park.
The right-hander outpitched Fausto Carmona and carried a no-hit bid into the sixth inning until Jhonny Peralta homered with one out for Cleveland's lone hit of the game.
Jurrjens (1-1) walked four and struck out one over 6 2-3 innings in the opener of a key three-game series between the top two teams in the AL Central.
``I'm going to remember this for the rest of my life,'' he said.
Carmona (14-8) retired his first 12 batters before Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen homered to start the fifth, helping Detroit pull within a half-game of the division-leading Indians.
In other AL games, it was: Boston 8, Tampa Bay 6; Seattle 7, Minnesota 2; Baltimore 6, Texas 2; Oakland 6, Toronto 4; and Chicago 5, Kansas City 2.
For the first time in franchise history, the Indians' lone hit was a home run. The last time they had only one hit was April 15 in a 2-1 win over the White Sox.
Hard-throwing reliever Joel Zumaya, who had been out since May 1 with a ruptured tendon in his right middle finger, retired his only batter for Detroit. Fernando Rodney pitched a hitless eighth and Todd Jones worked a perfect ninth for his 32nd save.
Carmona, who beat Jurrjens in his big league debut last Wednesday, gave up three hits in eight innings while striking out five and walking none.
``What gets lost in this game is Carmona was fantastic,'' Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. ``The guys were remarking that his stuff was tremendous.''
At Anaheim, Calif., Anderson got the first curtain call he can remember, going to the top step of the Angels' dugout and doffing his helmet to a roaring crowd after his sixth-inning grand slam gave him 10 RBIs.
``It's nice when the fans appreciate you,'' the 34-year-old slugger said. ``I think it's the first one I've had, and it was kind of a shock.''
The major league record of 12 RBIs is shared by the St. Louis Cardinals' Jim Bottomley (1924) and Mark Whiten (1993). The AL record of 11 was set by Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees on May 24, 1936.
Anderson had a chance to break the major league mark when he came up in the eighth inning with runners at the corners and two outs, but he grounded out to shortstop.
Rodriguez hit a pair of solo shots, giving him 42 homers this season.
Kelvim Escobar (14-6) allowed five runs in six innings for the first-place Angels, who improved to 6-2 against New York this season and stayed two games ahead of Seattle in the AL West.
The Yankees were rolling along for more than a month and closing fast in the playoff chase before visiting the Angels, a longtime nemesis. New York, which has lost the first two in a three-game series, fell six games behind first-place Boston in the AL East and 2 1/2 back of Seattle in the wild-card race.
Los Angeles jumped out to a 7-1 lead against Mike Mussina (8-9), who lasted only 1 2-3 innings for his shortest outing this season.
``It was just bad from the start, and I don't know why because I felt good warming up,'' Mussina said. ``That goes in the top five worst games of my career right there. It was just awful. If I could explain it, I would know how to fix it. And right now I don't.''
Red Sox 8, Devil Rays 6
At St. Petersburg, Fla., Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo hit two-run doubles during a five-run fourth to back Jon Lester (2-0). David Ortiz had a rare triple and Jonathan Papelbon got four outs for his 30th save in 32 opportunities.
Mariners 7, Twins 2
At Minneapolis, Adrian Beltre and Richie Sexson hit consecutive homers, Jarrod Washburn (9-10) earned his first win in seven starts and Seattle won its fifth straight.
Orioles 6, Rangers 2
At Baltimore, Erik Bedard (13-4) struck out 11 over seven innings to win his ninth straight decision, and the Orioles got homers from Miguel Tejada and Aubrey Huff.
Athletics 6, Blue Jays 4
At Toronto, Dan Haren (14-4) matched his career high in wins and Oakland overcame Frank Thomas' two homers plus Vernon Wells' two-run shot. Huston Street earned his 12th save.
White Sox 5, Royals 2
At Chicago, Jim Thome hit his 493rd homer and Javier Vazquez (11-6) won his third straight decision, leading the White Sox out of the AL Central cellar. Danny Richar and Paul Konerko also homered for Chicago, and Bobby Jenks got his 35th save.

100 S. Central Expressway, 14
Richardson, TX 75080
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Richardson & Vicinity
As we age, films take on different functions. Take Brazil, for instance. Sure, it's become a cult classic, as most dystopian, bureaucratically steeped, darkly satirical cinematic spools do. But it's more than that, really, because Brazil ties with Videodrome for most frequently shown hipster bar video of all time. (Is that a factual statistic? Nope. But it sure does feel that way, don't it?) At noon Sunday, the Alamo's giving Brazil your undivided attention, as it screens the paperwork-filled life of Sam Lowry. It's an installment in the Alamo 100, a new curated list of 100 essential films all humans should see according to Alamo Drafthouse. Brazil's in good company with Blade Runner, Bottle Rocket, the Buster Keaton silent The General and some more questionable guilty pleasure airplane movies, like Love Actually, Mean Girls and Clueless. So, you know, pick and choose. Tickets are just $5. Visit drafthouse.com.

Based on other reviews, I vacuumed this rug multiple times upon receiving it, continously filling and re-emptying the canister. In addition to the wool shedding, I noticed the decorative bursts were losing ribbons from my light vacuuming, and the base of the rug was exposed. Also, it bears mentioning that the blue was more washed out than depicted. Needless to say, the rug went back to Overstock.
Area rug arrived as described. Pretty and seems like good quality. Fun and functional.
Just an excellent product. The colors are exactly as pictured on-line, the quality seems great - I can't say yet how it will wear over time or resist soiling/ease of cleaning because I've only had it a couple weeks. That being said, the review as of now is uniformly excellent. 5 stars. Just as I expected - actually a little MORE plush than I expected.
This rug is more than I expected. It is very plush and the flower bursts make it look like a 3D rug. I am very happy with my choice. It fits great in our family run and really makes our wooden floors stand out.
This was a great purchase. I had been looking at this rug last year at a different site and then stumbled upon it on Overstock and couldn't resist not buying it this time. So glad I did!! It goes great in my living room! I love the colors and the texture of the bursts.
I absolutely love this rug. I think it is very true to the colors in the picture, it doesn't barely 'shed'-- just normal new rug stuff. I'm so happy I ignored some of the negative reviews and bought it. It's absolutely gorgeous.
I was pleasantly surprised when I rolled the rug out when it arrived at my door. The quality is amazing and the colors look great under my dining room table. I must say that the blue is a very faint light blue, almost looks like a light gray. Good price and great rug!
We were concerned that the colors in this rug would be different as viewed online. No worries. it is as close as possible to what you see on line. The quality is excellent, of course, we will see how it wears. The design makes a real statement in our bedroom and adds a nice "pop" to the surroundings. Easy to vacuum and so far has not lost any threads in the starbursts. No excessive shedding with this rug. Very pleased and would definately recommend it to other customers.
We love the look of this rug! Terrific with our dining table and chairs. Yes it does "shed" a lot and might not last forever, but I would buy it again for sure - great price!
I've had this rug for almost a year now, it's very nice I love the size and style. However it sheds alot!!! The fibers are coarse, has yet to stop shedding no matter how much I vacumm it.

Japan, 2000 (MIFF 2001, Shadows – The Dark Side of Cinema)
Director: Norio Tsurata
Sadako Yarnamura spends thirty years trapped in a well, and lived. More specifically, an evil, vengeful and utterly horrific trace of Sadako lived. The fatal video virus, ensuring a miserable, screaming death, that she unleashed was the subject of Ring and Ring 2 (MIFF 2000). Ring O.The Birthday travels back in time to the events of the 50s and 60s that prefigured those very nasty occurrences. Fans of the previous Ring frightfests will devour this excellent prequel but seeing them is not essential to enjoying this latest chapter of the wildly successful Japanese saga. After a public demonstration of psychic powers by Sadakos mother every person who witnessed the unbelievable spectacle died horribly Kumiko. the fiance of one of the victims is determined to track the Yarnamura mother and daughter and exact revenge Kumiko has no concept of the malignant forces she will have to contend with. "If you can get through it without grinding your teeth into dust, you're a better man than me."

New Hyperbaric Chamber Arrives at Sycamore Medical Center
MIAMISBURG -- A new hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the largest in Ohio, is being installed today at Sycamore Medical Center.
The chamber has the ability to dive patients to 165 feet in depth. Inside the chamber, medical attendants accompany patients during each treatment. This 12-patient chamber measures 25 feet in length with a 10-foot diameter.
Dr. Louis Pilati is medical director of the Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Center at Sycamore and Kettering hospitals. He and Dr. Richard Garrison, who also treats patients at both hospitals, are two of only five physicians in the state of Ohio who are board-certified in Hyperbaric Medicine.
The chamber was delivered by flatbed trucks from San Diego and was to be installed today by crane.

Winning a national championship did not mean a financial profit for the Yorkton Terriers.
In fact the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League franchise went from a $112,424 profit at year-end 2013, to a $34,309 deficit for the year ending May 31, 2014. It is a swing in fortunes of $146,673 for the Royal Bank Cup-winning Terriers.
In giving the franchise's financial report at the team's Annual General Meeting last Wednesday, Director Gerry Smysnuik said the numbers were not to his liking.
"I know it bugs me," he said of the loss.
But Smysnuik said when he crunched into the numbers, the expenses he sees are, for the most part, going to continue.
"The costs incurred this year will probably continue in the future," he said.
The actual loss of $34,000 though, is one which can be attributed almost entirely to the cost associated with making it to the RBC.
The Terriers did receive just shy of $19,000 in revenues from the RBC, but showed direct costs of $28,000.
In addition, there are a number of costs, while not directly tied to attending the RBC, were incurred because the Terrier season was extended by three weeks because of the national event, said Smysnuik. Such costs included wages for part-time staff, additional room and board for players, sticks, championship rings and similar costs. He said the overall costs are in the $35-$40,000 range.
The remainder of the year-to-year loss of some $112,000 came from a combination of revenue drops and cost increases.
On the revenue side the farm crop fundraiser saw a drop of some $24,000.
"We didn't grow the gold crop (canola). We grew wheat," said Smysnuik, who added they are again going with canola this summer.
The Terrier Lotto net return to the team was only $16,844, down from $47,946 a year earlier.
The return from the Lotto "continues to be less and less every year," offered Smysnuik, adding it remains obvious the team needs a successful lottery to operate.
Game day gate receipts also saw a decline, from $205,181 in 2013 to $164,862 this year,
Smysnuik said there were a couple of reasons for the $40,000 decline, including having revenue from one less home playoff game this season, and a $17,000 increase in season ticket sales which impact walk-up ticket sales.
In terms of expenses several areas saw increases, increases Smysnuik said, will carry forward.
The Terriers spend $14,585 on player education.
"This year a lot of kids went to school," said Smysnuik, adding the team covers a portion of post-secondary course costs taken by players through the hockey season, with the rates based on years of service with the team. "We believe that is a good thing."
Player room and board also rose, but by design, as the Board approved a rate increase from $350 per month to $400 being aid to billets. The result was a $22,000 increase, reported Smysnuik.
Wages for staff, coaches, marketing and office were up $14,000, but again Smysnuik noted that was expected as the Board approved a three per cent increase to cover the cost of living hike.
To help pull the numbers back toward the black moving forward the Board has made the decision to raise ticket prices.
Season tickets for adults and seniors will climb $25, or about a buck a game, pointed out Smysnuik. The hike leaves an adult season early bird season ticket at $290, ($320 regularly) and a senior early bird ticket at $275 (regularly $305).
Teen and pre-teen season tickets remain unchanged. Teens are $99 for early bird ($129 regular) while 12 and under are $49 early bird ($79 regular).
Game day tickets will climb from $13 to $14.

It is very obvious that Google author rank is most recent update following penguin and panda update and it has the prospect of being the latest term in SEO world for 2013.It is synonymous with the page rank which Google programmed to for the analyses and identification of the value of a page rank or sites. Whereas Author rank is set to discover the authority of a content creator, web author of a blogger, page rank is that value which Google allocates to the web page for its relative quality. The reason behind this is for the identification of any quality content writer as well as their skill on specific subject. In 2013, the reputation of any blog author will not only speak for him, it will always go a long way since the identity will always on the site page rank.

How does Google Author Rank Works?
Basically speaking, if you are really serious about improving your page ranking in each of the major search engine and increase your visibility, SEO is the only way out. It is generally acceptable that suitable and quality articles usually originated from competent and experienced authors, hence the Google Author Rank is applicable for selecting the best and then rank search results. Google usually give consideration to tweets, social shares, +1 and so on, coupled with how influential the creator of these signals. It may interest you to know that uncountable number of sub standard websites have high PR, yet lacking quality content. Hence, Google's Author Rank update will control the connecting structure and sieve out the best quality article's site in the search outcome. As a result, suitable and desired information is offered to the users. Indeed, Google has a way of measuring and evaluating author's internet activities such as their forum participation, social networking, blogging and many more similar activities.
Tips for improving Your Author Ranks
- Create a blog – In case you do not have any blog prior to this time, you may use this opportunity create one so that can be writing about your passion. As you begin to have followers, it becomes easier to communicate and interact with them productively.
- Make remarks on blogs - The best way to tell others about your blog is to comment on the blog of others. This will not only give you room to open a discussion, it will as well help in backlinks.
- Consistent submission to blogs and directories - Directories are the best places to be seen because they are useful for searching for blogs. They will provide you backlink and even keep telling others anytime you update your blog for the purpose of their visitation.
- Obtain links from closely link sites - Always remember that visibility is visibility. You may check this out in related sites and blog rolls but avoid spamming.
- Obtain backlinks from social media -Those who are not exploiting social media in this current dispensation, they are only short-changing themselves. Here, you have the prospects of getting vital links with many professionals and your colleagues.
- Always submit articles to various directories - In particular, pay more attention to your niche directories and general directories for maximum result.
- Maximize Forums - Indeed, forums give you room to link up with both existing and potential audience via the demonstration of your professionalism. It is an avenue for interaction, questioning and responding.

Recommendations for one dinner in Philly
- b
- Ben Reiner May 1, 2007 03:11 PM
Hi Pennsylvania Hounds
My immediate family and my wife and I will be in Pennsylvania for a birthday party at the end of the month, and we will have time for just one dinner in Philadelphia, so I'm looking for recommendations. We're open to just about any place with great food but that isn't very loud. Two that we've been considering are Morimoto and Alma de Cuba but I'm not sure about the noise factor. I don't have an idea of an absolute price limit but if it's in the range of the two places we're currently considering that would be good. Alternatively if you have other options, I'm all ears
Ben Reiner
Ben, Matt Ito has just re-opened Fuji in Haddonfield, which is not that far from Philly if you are a Japanese food (sushi, sashimi, omikase dinner, etc, etc) lover. Far less expensive than Morimoto, and even better in my opinion. I'm going there for lunch on Friday, and can't wait.
re: Bashful3
Because of the two you mentioned I would also recommend Buddakhan.
For eclectic food done with style there is Bliss right near the Academy of Music and Kimmel Center.
For excellent seafood but a big price tag, Estia right across from the Academy of Music.
re: idia
How about Fork? I wouldn't exactly call it silent-but the food is so fabulous that you won't mind cupping your ears a bit. Anyway, I ate at the bar at prime time on a Satruday night, so maybe the noise level was at the high end. But the food-ummmm!
I also recommend places like Brassiere Perrier and Rouge on Rittenhouse Square. They are both (somewhat) bigger names of Philadelphia and more iconic names within our restaurant revival. You should have a much easier time getting into these places as well.
Morimoto is a great choice - terrific food, and not especially loud. Get seats at the sushi bar if available and order the omakase. Buddakan and Fork are both deafening when crowded.
Hi Ben,
I think we could probably use more information from you on what you're looking for overall if you want to get really good advice. You want it quiet - do you mean business quiet or romantic quiet? Your two ideas are both see-and-be-seen, larger-than-life places- do you want that, or had you just heard those were good? Some people are steering you away from that, but maybe that's your idea of a fun night out. On the other hand you asked for quiet... :)
If there are specific cuisines you are or are not interested in (it didn't sound like it) that would be good to let us know too... and if there is an area you are confined to, please let us know that as well.
re: Adrienne
Thanks everyone for the suggestions thus far. I'll try to provide some more context about the "decibel factor". My wife and I don't care too much one way or the other in that respect but my parents get a little agitated if a place is really loud, so being able to comfortably hold a conversation is pretty important.
Regarding the places I was looking at - I think I have a sense for what the Starr restaurants are like - they sound like they could be fun but the ambience or larger-than-life aspect is not really a factor in my decision - we're all about the chow! In fact, my first choice might have been Vetri but when I mentioned those three it finished last amongst everyone else (on the basis of menu). We were looking at Alma de Cuba because the menu sounded very appealing and we can't get high end Cuban food in Toronto, and Morimoto for the obvious reasons. I read good reviews for both although it sounds like Morimoto is less popular these days than it was at one time. Saw some really positive reviews for Alma de Cuba and I thought I read somewhere that it's not too loud - is that true?
As far as cuisine type, we're all pretty adventurous - only caveat being that my mother doesn't like Indian food.
re: Ben Reiner
Ben I agree that the "Starr experience" is more hype than substance. They are usually mobbed and noisy. If your parents are sensitive to that type of thing they won't be happy. When we have friends come from out of town we try to steer them to a Philly place. If you like the menu at Alma try Pasion. It has a great atmosphere and the food is excellent. Alternatively consider one of our fine Italian restaurants. We rarely eat Italian elsewhere because we are so spoiled in Philly.
re: joluvscards
I agree with this. Pasion is much quieter inside and the food is just as good. Vetri is still probably the best thing mentioned here, but I understand you want something more dissimilar from what you can get at home at Pasion probably fits the bill (I recommend the baby goat).
Honestly most of the other places on my mental "best-of-philly" list are boisterous, other than a few French and French-inspired places which seem pretty silly for me to recommend to a Canadian.
re: Adrienne
Vetri may be hard to get a reservation at less than a month in advance, but I would highly recommend Osteria. It is the new venture by Mark Vetri, and when I went it was truly wonderful. Beautiful ambiance, great wine, and absolutely delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. I would also recommend Amada, it may be a bit louder than Osteria depending on the night and time that you go, but the food is probably my favorite in philly (and it is quieter than alma de cuba).
re: illafoodie
I highly agree with Amada. Although not "traditional" (who really cares!) Spanish tapas. It tastes great, is very creative and it can be more interesting to share the small plates. I would ask for the back room so it is more quiet!
re: Just Me
I loved Amada, but I think (depending on where you're seated perhaps) it stands a chance of being too loud for this request.
re: Adrienne
I'm ruling out a tapas joint in part because there are a lot of them in Toronto right now (it's a big fad here right now) and also with 5 of us it might be a little awkward sharing them. Does look very good though but unfortunately we only have the one night on this visit :(
re: Adrienne
Thanks for the help! I looked at Pasion and it looks really good. Really appreciate the guidance - I'm going to push for either Pasion, Vetri or Osteria now
re: Ben Reiner
Ben and I finally decided on Pasione. Thanks so much for this recommendation. It was a fantastic experience and everyone was really happy. We started out with some cocktails, (Mojitos and caiparinas) as we ate the delicious bread. We have never seen (or eaten) a bread basket like that before! Corn bread muffins, little puff rolls dusted with cheese, flatbreads with a nice kick of spice, and another kind of white roll. One of each of these came for each person at the table. And once we finished the basket, a new full basket appeared without even asking for more!
Many of us at the table ordered their famous ceviche which was very tasty and different. Not the typical lime/acidic flavour. Their was a tuna, a mahi mahi, and a dominican white fish (can't remember the name). We also had the Trio Taquitos (eel, crawfish and smoked trout) - little bites of heaven.
For mains, I had the chino latino (bass cooked perfectly moist with a crispy top), and Ben had the Churrasco de Entraña (grilled skirt steak, nopalitos, and these delicious croutons). Other mains at the table were the rabbit, pork, and the salmon special.
We were so full to order dessert but the waitress brought us lollipops of cheesecake covered in chocolate and nuts. A great touch at the end of the meal.
All eight of us were really happy and satisfied with the meal and the service. It was inventive, presented beautifully, and so fulfilling. Thanks again Philly hounds!
P.S. We also stopped Saturday afternoon for a drink at Rouge. Didn't eat there because we were on our way to dinner but the burgers that we saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious :) Maybe we'll have time to go there the next time we're in town. You guys have a great city of food. We're looking forward to returning.
Ben and Mandy - your fellow Toronto hounds.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Vampires and werewolves have vanquished a dark knight.
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" took in $72.7 million in its first day to break the single day domestic box office record previously held by "The Dark Knight," which had a $67.2 million opening day last year.
The Friday haul for the "Twilight" sequel includes a record $26.3 million from midnight screenings alone.
If "New Moon" maintains its pace, it might have a shot at the all-time best opening weekend record of $158.4 million, also held by "The Dark Knight."
"New Moon" continues the story of teen romance between a girl and a vampire (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson), with the sequel adding a love triangle with a teen werewolf (Taylor Lautner).

Crescent Video was recommended to us by our wedding planner. They documented our rehearsal dinner night and wedding day events. They did a magnificent job, creating a trailer and hour-long movie showing the highlights. Best of all, they did so without getting in anyone's way during the event.
The DVD and Blu-Ray products were amazing, including multiple copies for us to hand out to parents. The audio and video quality was superb. The content was set to a soundtrack that we picked. When there was more video than music, Crescent filled in with very tasteful choices. In addition, they were happy enough to send us the raw footage so we can see what didn't get into the videos.
We were so very happy to make the investment getting our weekend documented in this way. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

These people are AMAZING. I loved having her around, she filmed my rehearsal dinner night, the day of the wedding, and the wedding/ reception. the video is amazing, all I did was provide her with songs to use.. absolutely unbelievable!!! When we watched the video we did not even know she captured what she did, you never even knew they were around. She made the pictures and moments go perfectly to the beat of the songs.. it was incredible!! Amazing work. We laughed, cried and screamed out of joy about things we saw on our video.. absolutely wonderful. Wonderful service and people to work with. HIGHLY recommended!!!!!

Spain's Javier Gomez took the lead with about a mile left in the run to defend his title in the Hy-Vee Triathlon Sunday in Des Moines. Emma Moffatt of Australia won the women's race.
Gomez and Moffatt each earned $100,000 for their victories. Though the event's purse was cut from $1.1 million to $500,000 this year, it still offers the biggest prize in the world for Olympic-style distance triathlons.
Gomez, the silver medalist from the London Games, was more than a minute behind the leaders after the cycling portion of the event before catching them in the run. American Hunter Kemper was second, finishing :12 behind Gomez.
Moffatt, who won in Des Moines in 2009 and finished second twice, was 1:26 ahead of runner-up Melissa Hauschildt.

"Tiny rooms - excellent overall though."
Rooms are tiny but very nice for their size. Very friendly service and excellent location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Small BUT well appointed room"
I was pleased with my stay and would definitely stay here again IF it was the right price. I WOULD NOT pay full price for this room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I'll be Back!!"
Wonderfully help full staff, always smiling and energetic. Clean rooms, Good breakfast. great view.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel, but sleeping in not allowed..."
Hotel is clean, decor is modern. Rooms are very nice though a bit small, even for NYC. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was very small with little to no counter space. Shower had a "rain fall" head but there was little water pressure, so it took forever to wash off the soap - a bit disappointing. Free wi-fi (the kind where you have to re-enter a […] username and password every time you turn back on your phone/laptop). Window AC unit may be a problem for some (noise, proximity to bed) but for us it was no problem. Staff was really friendly and eager to offer any assistance possible. Checking/checkout was fast and easy. However... Housekeeping starting knocking on our door at 9am on checkout day (a Sunday morning). And yelling, "Come back later!" from the bed (3 feet away) didn't work until we literally SCREAMED for them to go away. It was a rude awakening, but not nearly as rude as the fact that they knocked again 30 minutes later. What was the urgency when checkout isn't until noon? The third time they showed up in the span of just over an hour, I felt forced to put on some clothes to reach out and hang the DND sign - but by that time we were well awake and annoyed, so we just showered and left. It really ruined the weekend... Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Small gem"
A small hotel that was convenient to most things. Rooms were small but comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Interesting Property"
It certainly is a "boutique hotel" - completely white lobby, tiny elevators, gorgeous bathroom, microscopic hotel room. The hotel does off complementary wifi and breakfast, but get to breakfast early, since there is no seating outside of ottomans.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fine- could get a better place for price though"
Room was small and hotel was under construction. Only one elevator was working so i had to wait a while. They only had room service from one restaurant without breakfast. Breakfast was continental- pastries, coffee etc. Besides for that everything else was good. Staff was nice.Genuine Expedia guest review
"business option"
Great value for what I paid. Perfect for quick NY trips No business center but there are numerous office support services with 3 blocks and very convenient.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Easy solution for inexpensive night in Manhattan"
Good price, small clean room, modern bath, WiFi, flatscreen, and free light breakfast. What else do you want? I plan to return..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I was shocked when I got to my room to fine that behind the bed was really dusty and dirty. That should have been my first clue, but because I didn't see any bedbugs, I stayed. Big mistake... I woke up to find blood all over my pillow and sheets, and their poop all over the pillow!!!!! Sooooo gross! I went down to tell the front desk and check out as […] fast as humanly possible, but was shocked at their reaction....."Oh, ok, I will call housekeeping."... I called later that night to see if they treated the room, and to try again to get some reaction from them, as I was still in shock and to my dismay they had actually put someone in the room that very same day!!!!!!! Nasty Nasty Nasty!!! Never again.... Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"tiny room"
Not bad if you just need a room to crash. No view and slow elevator.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Mave hotel"
Nice pod hotel CLEAN! Room kind of small. Excellent front desk. No elevator in the morning, but convenient and nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The MAve Hotel - Great staff!!"
We have recently found a hotel that offers an excellent location, good size rooms, great value and clean. The staff are always friendly, helpful and cheerful. It is a pleasure to stay in a hotel with these attributes. We will be back!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Small room but very clean and convenient. Perfect for one-night and one person.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I'd go again tomorrow"
Small room, but everything we needed! All things were new. Great shower. Great staff. Great price. Great location. What more do you want from a hotel in NYC when you're out of the room all day???Genuine Expedia guest review
"Goog things come in small packages."
The rooms are very small but perfect for me. Bathroom was beautiful and the bed was insanely comfortable...better than at more expensive hotels. I slept like a baby. Would definitely recommend and stay there again in the future.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Lipstick on a Pig"
Late one night after getting back from the office, I found that room had not been cleaned. The hotel does not have cleaning staff in the evening, so I was out of luck. I received no discount on my stay or anything complimentary for the inconvenience. The facade of the hotel looks "boutiqey" like so many NYC hotels these days, but the rooms themselves […] have laminate flooring and are heated by window units that could have been picked out of a dump site. The rooms literally looked to have been designed by a college kid on a shoestring budget. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent Value and Outstanding Staff"
I stayed four nights on business. I upgraded to the queen size room for space purposes. The room was nicely sized by New York standards in particular for the price point of the hotel. The best part of the stay was the staff. They went out of their way to be accommodating.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall recommend"
Only one of two elevators worked for entire hotel; hotel staff was amazing & so helpful though. When we got to hotel (two of us total), we originally booked a room with double/full size bed..... room was TINY and we just couldn't do it (no where to put our luggage even!!); so we upgraded for $30 more a night to two double beds.... Much better for two […] people to stay vs. first room. Location is dead center Manhattan & only a few blocks from Empire State building w/ tons of restaurants within walking distance of hotel.... would recommend overall! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Comfortable, convenient"
This hotel gave good value for the money. The location is very convenient - it's pretty centrally located for sightseeing in NY. The room was pretty small, but very clean and comfortable. We only stayed one night, so I can't say how good a job the cleaning staff does during your stay. The bathroom was nice - showers designed without doors means the […] floor gets pretty wet, but no big deal. Staff at the front desk were nice. The lobby is undergoing renovation and one of the elevators wasn't working, so getting to our floor took a while sometimes, but those things really weren't a big deal. Overall, a good, relatively reasonably-priced place to crash for a short trip to NYC. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The MAve NYC - small but stylish!"
In New York, all I really want it a clean room where I'm not afraid to touch the bedspread. I guess I don't have the highest expectations, but either way the MAve certainly passed with flying colors and provided everything we needed for a quick one-night stay. The room, while small, was stylish, well equipped and most importantly, *clean*. I will say […] though, that if you are accustomed to lots of space or require it for whatever reason, this might not be the best place for you. If however, you are like me and live in a 400 sq foot apartment and can pack in a small overnight bag, this place is perfect. Location was great and the staff was really friendly and helpful. They stored our bags when we got there (too early for check-in at 3) and after we checked out as we were spending the rest of the day in New York, which was perfect! Would definitely stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
smallest hotel room i've ever seen -- and i've stayed in a lot of new york city hotels over the years. there literally was not room to stand next to the bed. this would be redeemed if there was a lobby or some good common space in the hotel, but there is none of that either. also, the advertised breakfast was just pastries and coffee -- no yogurt or […] fruit or anything like that. it's fine for someone who is not planning on spending any time in the hotel. otherwise, stay elsewhere.

"MAve Dec 2011"
Excellent location, nicely decorated room. Rooms are not large, but are comfortable. Breakfast pastries were excellent, staff was helpful. Only downside was construction going on across the street.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Solid choice for hotel."
Small but clean rooms with nice light. Centrally located neighborhood. Hallways a little tired with old carpeting, but passable considering they had rooms for under $200 a night. Friendly staff. Will definitely stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Felt like a hostel...not a hotel"
Do yourself a favor- pay a bit extra and stay elsewhere. We could not have been LESS impressed by the Mave on all levels- from the room itself to the cleanliness to their mediocre customer service. The previous night we had stayed at Hotel Indigo (for the same price) just 3 blocks away and the difference was night and day. Hotel Mave felt more like […] staying in a hostel than a hotel...will definitely stay elsewhere my next visit to NYC. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean, Comfortable and SMALL"
The room we stayed in was very clean, very comfortable, AND VERY SMALL. If that doesn't bother you, then the MAve is a good place for you.Genuine Expedia guest review
"MAve Hotel NYC"
Room was tiny, but well appointed. We were in a room tucked away in a corner on the 3rd floor, so we barely heard any street noise. Location couldn't be beat, with the subway only a street away. Continental breakfast was a mix of high quality danishes, muffins and croissants which were much better then many hotels fare. Staff was very friendly. I would […] defiantly stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Small room, great staff."
If there had been a chair it would have been MUCH better. Only the bed, end tables, and a dresser. Too bleak.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Wonderful Surprise"
Very comfortable rooms, super nice and clean considering price. I found parking right out front and hotel even upgraded us. I will be recommending this to friends coming in and using myself whenever last minute stays come up.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"One of my worst hotel experiences"
The only thing good I can say about this hotel is that the bed was comfortable. The room was very small and there was no nightstand and no lamp beside the bed (so no reading in bed). There was a step up into the bathroom, which was very small. The desk was shoved up tightly between the end of the bed and the doorway to the bathroom so that the door […] to the bathroom could not open fully, which made getting into the bathroom a challenge and made it impossible to use the full length mirror that was mounted to the inside of the bathroom door. There was no counter space in the bathroom. The heating was provided by a window unit (similar to an old fashioned window air conditioner) that blew cold air most of the time, even with the thermostat turned to 78 degrees. I was fortunate that my activities allowed me little time in the room except to sleep; otherwise, I would have been entirely miserable rather than just miserable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Another Boutique Pig with Lipstick"
The lobby is intriguing. The rooms are like dorm rooms, with cheap laminate wood flooring and a loud window ac/heating unit that must have been removed from some slum. The thing would switch from heat to a/c to get the temperature right. Good way to catch a cold, which I did. Service? They forgot to make my room the first day. When I got back from work […] at 10pm, there was no one in housekeeping. Hope that helps. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"MAve Hotel - "Room Service, send up a room!""
The hotel service was adequate as in I checked in fairly uneventfully however in the morning, the coffee and pastry set up was sparse at best. Do it, or don't do it at all. If you didn't like French Vanilla in your coffee, you could be out of luck. I did not indulge; partially because I was in a rush. What I did find outrageous was when I opened the […] door to my room, I immediately felt claustrophobic. Now, I've stayed at hotels all over the world and I understand space in some big cities can be an issue but I had no place to hang my clothes, as in there were no closets! My winter coat shared a hook behind the door of my bathroom next to a wet towel! The convenience of the hotel location and its price were my true motivators. That said, the area was lined with small boutique hotels like MAve. I think I could do better. Thanks for reading.... Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The staff were so helpful"
Great hotel for a city, couldn't be happier with our choice excellent service! Would happily stay there again!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good location"
Comfortable and clean hotel. The staff were extremely helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Modern, stylish, good value, friendly hotel"
This hotel had excellent, helpful front of house staff, the room (Boulevard King) was presented well with a clean, crisp, modern look. The wi-fi, safe and tea-coffee making facilities (all free of charge) all added to making this a good value room, along with the bathrobes and bathroom toiletries also provided. The recommendations provided for different […] restaurants were all good, we tried 3 off the list and were not disappointed. Upon leaving the hotel provided free bag storage after check out and arranged a private car to take us to the airport, which was not much more expensive than our original taxi to the hotel. The location is ideal for holiday makers, being located a short walk from the 6-line on 28th street and only a couple of blocks off Broadway, making it a nice 15min walk to Times Square. If I had negative comments to say it would be that the glazed area next to the lobby looked like it was undergoing work and would have been easy enough to mask off temporarily to make it look a bit tidier (although one day there was a band playing in there with the guy on the front desk playing drums, which was pretty cool - see picture). Also the milk/cream was not topped up adequately in the rooms on a daily basis. These really are minor points, but points I hope (and think) the hotel can easily rectify. On the whole this was an excellent hotel that I would recommend to anyone that wanted a holiday maker base to set up from. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Can't really fault it!!! Thank you"
Absolutely fantastic. The Mave really is a superb hotel. Loved the modern, stylish themes throughout the place. We stayed in a Boulevard King room and it was very spacious. Breakfast of coffee & pastries was a very nice treat as most hotels don't offer breakfast in NYC. Staff were great too. Thank you to the Mave ;)Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great for a quick break"
The room we booked was an urban full and was a little small for a couple not much ro to move around and walk. But the staff, location and house keeping were fantastic!Genuine Expedia guest review
Free breakfast was pathetic --just a hotel room with coffee and some pasteries/muffins. Had to look under bed for an item that fell (ring) it was full of garbage and dust.(no wonder I was sneezing a lot). Also the glasses in the bathroom should be clean and wrapped new--who knows what rag was used to clean them. No counter-space to place toiletries […] in the bathroom. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel for people on budget"
Was a very nice hotel. The rooms can be a little noisy during the night due to the thin windows. I would recommend upgrading to a room better than urban full suites as our room had a view of a fire escape and brick wall. Other than that it is a very good hotel. The staff were extremely helpful. I spent my holiday mainly sight seeing and coming back […] late. And the room was a welcoming site! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Dirty and misleading"
Dirty hotel, dust everywhere, they never change ur shears and the room is super tiny. U can barely move around the room, the hot water barely works and he water pressure is pathetic. They advertise as being union square but this is not accruate eitherGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A great place to stay for anyone visiting New York"
The hotel was in a superb location. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Our sons were extremely pleased with the free wi-fi. The complementary breakfast were very much appreciated. Don't miss the chance to go to 'The Shake Shack' Thanks everyone for a good stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"All good, will definitely recommend to others!"
Made to feel very welcome by all staff, very good local knowledge. Central location and 2 minutes walk from empire state building. Very helpful with supplying taxi service to airport and nice complimentary breakfast included.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Small and noisy"
Room was a pigeon hole -comfortable queen sized bed pushed up into wall so had to climb over to get in. One desk chair that blocked access to bathroom if being used. No sitting room for 2nd person. Great location near up and downtown. We walked everywhere with ease. Continual noise from outside traffic - if noise sensitive beware! No lobby and breakfast […] supplied is a joke. State they have minibar in hotel info but nothing in room. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Small but perfectly formed."
Great staff, very friendly and willing to help. The rooms are small (ours was very small) but very suitable for us. Let's face it you dont go to NYC to send time in the hotel room, and as a result the size isn't an issue. The hotel staff cleaned and changed the towels in the room every day, which in 95 percent humidity is a must. The hotel location […] is also great. If you like walking it's location is walking distance to the financial district, 5th Ave, Central Park and the Empire State and the Flatiron buildings are only a couple of blocks away in the opersite directions from the hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Stay in NYC"
The hotel is great. Very clean and modern. The front staff is really friendly, and there is someone there 24/7, which is a nice comfort. The area is great - close to everything you need and a good middle between uptown and downtown. The only thing that might strike a nerve with some people is the room size. Our room was tiny - smaller than anyone's […] bedroom I've ever seen. However, being to NYC several times before, this is something that can be expected. I was hardly ever in the room, so it personally doesn't bother me. The bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. Also, the windows aren't soundproofed, so noise from the street will be heard - again, expected in NYC. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"few little improvements to be made, but v good."
Larger towels More then just pastries for the complimentary breakfast Slightly larger rooms Aside from that, amazing location and the most awesome staircase i've ever seen.Genuine Expedia guest review
"MAve RAve"
The location is unbeatable for Flatiron district and easy to walk to shops, restaurants, bars, burger joints etc. Close to subway easily connecting to JFK express line & downtown. Continental breakfast of truly excellent patisseries. The staff were so helpful, welcoming, polite and interested. My PC had a wifi protocol issue. I was immediately supplied […] with a cable and offered a call to their online engineer.The Mave system sorted the problem out itself but the staff attitude was spot-on. Very clean and well kept, funky decor in public areas. Nice bathroom & toiletry selection. Inside hotel is very quiet. Downside: Madison avenue is busy so it's noisy day and night. My single room was great for one but would be crowded with 2. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"The MAve Hotel, excellent location"
Small boutique hotel, in fabulous location. Close to Madison Sq Park and Union Sq . Great restaurants within walking distance and within 1-2 blocks of multiple subway lines.

Spoleto Castle Rental Photos and Description
Villa with 12 acres park and large swimming pool, 1.6 miles from town centre
'The Hawk Tower is a beautiful, ancient stone tower located 1.6 miles from the medieval town of Spoleto, and surrounded by a 12 acres private park. The villa sits on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley and facing Monte Luco, the first hermitage place of St. Francis of Assisi. Surrounded by an olive grove, the plush swimming pool with salty water is there for you to swim or to get lazy lying on a deck chair. The blue of the water melts perfectly with the ivory of the stone, the green of the olives and the violet of the lavender bush, permeating the air with its relaxing fragrance.
On the top floor of the Tower there is a magnificent, furnished panoramic terrace, and the pergola by the pool offers you a chance to breakfast in the first rays of the sun or to dine under the starry sky.
Details for The Tower 6 Bedrooms, Sleeps 12, 3 Bathrooms
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi all, we are a family of 4 and we stayed at the Tower during the last week in August. As probably many people have experienced often pictures are more promising then reality. In our case it was absolutely the contrary! Pictures cannot grasp the stunning and unique atmosphere of this exceptional location. Not only that the rooms and everything inside this tower gives proof of the tasteful arrangements of the whole facility; it is this atmosphere which made our stay such a great experience. This is just a wonderfull place where one can relax and get down again from stressfull times to find the inner balance. Even our "modern" kids were thrilled by the experience of staying at this great place. We would have loved to extend our stay but Beatrice's place was already booked. Beatrice is a wonderful host who has created one of these rare locations where you can find the "muse" to write a book or create art-work. I can highly recommend te Tower as well as the Falcon for families and groups of people who want to have a nice and relaxing break!

Michigan Thanksgiving holiday travel rush is on
Updated On: Nov 27 2013 08:32:56 AM EST
An estimated 1.3 million Michigan residents will travel 50 miles or more from home during the 2013 Thanksgiving holiday period, on par with last year, according to AAA Michigan.
They join 43.4 million Americans who will travel nationally. That's a dip of 1.5 percent, according to AAA's survey.
The holiday period is defined as Wednesday, November 27 to Sunday, Dec. 1.
Vehicle travel remains the most popular form of Thanksgiving transportation.
Ninety percent of Michigan travelers will go by vehicle, up 1 percent from last year. Nationally, 90 percent of holiday travelers will also go by vehicle.
In Michigan, seven percent of travelers will go by air, slightly less last year, while the remaining three percent will go by train or bus.
The majority of travelers (37 percent) surveyed plan to leave Wednesday, with 33 percent planning to return the following Sunday.
Another 24 percent expect to return on Monday, Dec. 2 or later.
While many travelers stay with family or friends during the holiday, those needing hotel rooms will find rates for AAA Three Diamond or mid-range lodgings are expected to average $142 per night, compared to $143 last year.
Based on a survey of traveler intentions, the average distance traveled by Americans this holiday will be 601 miles, up 2.2 percent. Median spending is expected to be $465, a 6.6 percent decrease from last year's $498.
Thanksgiving holiday travel is typically less expensive than other holiday travel because of the emphasis on the Thanksgivingmeal and family gatherings.
According to AAA's Leisure Travel Index, Thanksgiving airfares are comparable to last year, with the average lowest round-trip rate $187 for the top 40 U.S. air routes, compared to $188 last year. Weekend daily car rental rates will average $50, compared to $47 last year.
The holiday coincides with Michigan's firearm deer hunting season, with an estimated 700,000 hunters expected to be on the roads November 15 through November 30.
During last year's holiday period, Michigan State Police report there were nine fatal crashes resulting in nine fatalities on Michigan roads.
Three of those were not wearing seat belts.
Two of the crashes involved alcohol. AAA reminds motorists to be well rested and avoid alcohol if driving.
AAA's projections are based on economic forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight. AAA has been reporting on holiday travel trends for more than two decades. The complete AAA /IHS Global Insight 2013 Thanksgiving Holiday Travel Forecast can be found at NewsRoom.AAA.com.
