About Robyn and Jim
We are a family of 4 who have been coming to Acadia every year since 1989. Jim came to visit Acadia National Park as part of a Field Biology class for college and fell in love with Acadia. When Robyn graduated from college, he wanted to take her somewhere special, and so we went to Acadia. We fell in love with the beautiful mountains and cliffs that overlook oceans, the lakes and the woods, and just enjoying nature. We loved the lighthouse and the natural seawall that are nearby. We also enjoyed the laid-back, slower lifestyle of the Down-easter's. We loved Acadia so much, that we purchased a piece of land with the hopes of retiring in Acadia some day. We were fortunate enough to be able to build a home on that land and begin using it in 2006 and offer you the chance, as well, to use it also to enjoy the piece of heaven we found in Acadia. Our family loves to vacation here each year, and we know that once you visit, you will love Acadia, too!
Robyn and Jim purchased this house in 2006
Why Robyn and Jim chose Acadia National Park
Our home is in a quiet,wooded area where you can enjoy wildlife as well as peace and quiet. We like to watch the birds, deers, squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits. We have seen a fox and coyote also. We also enjoy the wild flowers in the garden as well as the humming birds and dragonflies that visit daily. Our neighborhood is safe. Children can ride bikes in the neighborhood since it is off the main road and has very little traffic. We love that we are close to many Acadia National Park areas, especially Echo Lake, Seawall (great place to see shooting stars), and Bass Harbor Lighthouse, yet not in the noisy, crowded areas at night when we wish to get a good night's rest for the next days activities. We can even ride our bikes to the town post office to catch the FREE Island Explorer bus. These buses are the Best deal on the island. We love hiking the near-by trails and looking at the Milky Way at night. You have never seen so many stars, except maybe at a planatarium.
What makes this house unique
We have gone out of our way to make our home comfortable for you and ourselves. Our home is much more than just a rental. We also use this house for vacation, so you know it's comfortable and well stocked. We have added many, many extras such as nightlights, flashlights, extra supplies in case you forget to buy them the 1st time you are at the market. There are even cookbooks, DVD's, Books, Games, and puzzles (great for rainy days). We have an overflowing Welcome Package chalked full of ideas for your vacation. We also enjoy using the picnic table and grill to enjoy the outdoors and wildflower garden.
Guestbook comments from the owner
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2011 for a stay in August 2010
We have been coming here each year since 2006. We always find the house very clean and comfortable even the beds. The house is always well stocked with linen, bath towels, kitchens towels, etc. and everything you would need for cooking, grilling, & baking. Thank you for the many extras (night lights, flashlights, spices, foil, plastic wrap, etc). We appreciate the folder with things to do and places to eat. We find your house to be in a peaceful/quiet neighborhood and yet close to town to do shopping, dining, and antiquing. But also wonderfully located to do hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and exploring in Acadia National Park.

PORT JEFFERSON STATION, N.Y. – Army reunions have been held as long as soldiers have been going off to war, yet a reunion this week was perhaps like no other in history.
National Guard soldiers from New York who befriended a stray dog while on patrol in Afghanistan were reunited with the 65-pound mixed breed and her seven rambunctious puppies after the animals arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Wednesday.
The reunion was made possible by the efforts of a Long Island pet rescue organization whose motto is: Paws of War – No Buddy Left Behind.
They really became part of the family to us, 1st Lt. Joseph LaPenta of Staten Island said. The soldiers befriended the dog they called Sheba after arriving in Afghanistan in January. She sometimes joined them on patrol, chasing away other stray dogs that may have threatened the soldiers, they said.
In March, Sheba had a litter of seven puppies. Because Sheba was weakened from the births, they nursed her and the puppies back to health, feeding her their allotment of beef jerky and MREs – Army issued meals ready to eat. Later, relatives sent bags of dog food from home.
Soon, however, the soldiers learned their base would be closed as part of the U.S. draw down in Afghanistan.
It really broke our hearts that we might have to leave them there LaPenta said.
That's when Staff Sgt. Edwin Caba of Long Beach sprang into action and contacted an old high school teacher. She put him in touch with a Long Island group called Guardians of Rescue, which has for several years collected donations to bring dogs back from combat zones. They had rescued about 20 when the request came in for help getting Sheba and her pups.
We won't turn our back on the servicemen and we won't turn our back on the dogs, said Guardians of Rescue president Robert Misseri. Working with a private organization in Kabul called Nowzad, the groups arranged to have the dogs sent to the United States so they could be adopted by the soldiers.
Misseri estimates it costs about $4,000 for every dog rescued from a war zone. He said an online crowd sourcing fundraiser is still collecting money to pay for Sheba and her pups.
The puppies, already six months old and about two feet tall, are named Cadence, Rocky, Sarah, Jack, Buckeye, Breezy and Harris. Two soldiers are taking two dogs each, and three others are going home with one dog apiece. Most will stay in New York; two are headed for the Cincinnati area.
Sheba's future is still being assessed, said Dori Scofield, vice president of Guardians of Rescue, who is caring for the dog at her Port Jefferson Station animal shelter. There is hope Sheba may someday be trained as a service dog to work with veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, although Scofield said it is too soon to know if Sheba would qualify for such training.
Caba, whose home was destroyed in Superstorm Sandy, said the dogs helped divert his attention from his troubles at home; he has just completed his third tour of duty in Afghanistan.

text: Suspect in Colorado Shooting Spree Released from Prison Four Years Early Print article Send a Tip by Michael Patrick Leahy 2 Apr 2013 post a comment Evan Spencer Ebel, the now deceased suspect in the March 19 murder of Colorado Corrections Chief Tom Clements, was let out of a Colorado state prison four years early, Colorado authorities acknowledged on Monday. Ebel was released on January 28, 2013, rather than January 28, 2017, as his court sentences required, due to a "tragic clerical error," according to Pueblo County Colorado Commissioner Buffie McFadyen. In 2005, Ebel, then 20 years old, was convicted by a Colorado court in connection to two armed robberies and sentenced to eight years in prison. In 2008, while serving that term, he pled guilty to assaulting a Colorado prison official. The judge who presided over that 2008 case sentenced him to four additional years in prison. However, according to a statement issued on Monday by Charles M. Banton, Chief Judge of the 11th Judicial Court District of Colorado, the sentencing judge failed to explicitly state verbally at that time that the extra four years were "consecutive"--that is, added to his eight year term--and the clerk recorded the sentence, apparently on his or her own volition, as "concurrent": On April 9, 2008 defendant Evan Ebel entered into a written plea agreement. It stated that the district attorney and the defendant agreed that the defendant would plead guilty to Assault in the Second Degree and the court would impose a consecutive sentence of up to four years in the Department of Corrections, plus a mandatory three years of parole. A sentencing hearing was held on June 11, 2008. The judge announced a sentence of four years in the Department of Corrections but did not state it was consecutive because it was already required by the terms of the plea agreement. Because the judge did not expressly state that the sentence was consecutive, the court judicial assistant did not include that term in the mittimus, the sentence order that went to the Department of Corrections. The district has undertaken a review of its practices in an effort to avoid a re-occurrence of this circumstance. Had the clerk properly recorded the sentence that the plea agreement explicit stated was to be served "consecutively," Ebel would not have been released until 2017. Since the eight year sentence ended in January 2013, and the counting of the four years added in 2008 began incorrectly in that year, rather than in January 2013, the Colorado Corrections system released Ebel on January 28, 2013, rather than January 28, 2017. The names of the sentencing judge and the errant clerk have not been released to the press. Shortly after his release from prison, Ebel apparently persuaded a young woman to legally purchase a gun and then illegally give it to him. Under the terms of his parole, Ebel could not legally purchase a gun. According to the Associated Press, "Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents on Wednesday arrested a suburban Denver woman suspected of legally purchasing a gun and then transferring it to Ebel. Records related to the arrest of Stevie Marie Vigil, 22, were sealed." On March 17, less than two months after Ebel's release from prison, a pizza delivery driver, Nathan Leon, was shot and murdered in Denver, and local police believe that Ebel committed the crime. Two days later, on March 19, 2013, someone shot Colorado Corrections Chief Tom Clements to death on his front porch. Two days later on March 21, 2013, after he shot and wounded a Texas Highway patrolman, Ebel was killed in an exchange of gunfire with Texas authorities in Decatur, Texas. The gun he used in that gunfight matched the gun used to kill Clements. In his statement on Monday, Charles Banton, Chief Judge of the 11th Judicial District, expressed condolences to the families of the two men allegedly murdered by the man prematurely released by Colorado authorities. "The court regrets this oversight and extends condolences to the families of Mr. Nathan Leon and Mr. Tom Clements," he said. Nathan Leon's widow found little solace in the judge's statement. On Monday, Katie Leon told a Denver television station that "sorry ain't going to bring my husband back." In a scathing critique of the fatal error made by Colorado's 11th Judicial District, she added, "It makes me sick and it angers me something fierce, to sit there and think this could have all been prevented. I'm a thirty-year-old widow with two little four-year-olds (and) I have to go on the rest of my life explaining what happened to their dad." The video of her interview can be seen here:

"It means the world to me [winning the title]. I couldn't have wished for this year to be better, it's been amazing. Only in my wildest dreams could have imagined this. It was a really sad day [when we were told the manager was retiring]. Everyone understands it and everyone is thankful to him. It's a massive honour for me to work with him for a year. It's only a year but he's had a massive impact. The way he is in general as a person is incredible."
Robin van Persie
"It's been an emotional day for everyone. It was a strange feeling and it's been like that all week. It was a special, special day. Even in the changing room he tried to keep it as normal as possible but in the back of your mind you were thinking this is the last one. With the reception he got, it was amazing."
Michael Carrick
"Sir Alex just said play the game and not the occasion. He wanted to win the game, wanted it to be an entertaining game and for us to do the things which he has wanted us to as a manager. The memories of him that stick out are when I was younger. When I was 13 playing for Salford Boys and looking to the sidelines and there was Sir Alex Ferguson watching."
Ryan Giggs
"It's been incredible [working under Sir Alex Ferguson]. He's a fantastic manager. What he's done for me has been fantastic and I can't thank him enough."

There is more than a couple of these same questions answered but they are answered by dumb people saying too much protein won't do anything!!! I am not asking about protein, I am asking about protein shakes. Due to a hectic schedule I am planning on getting 100 grams of protein from a mixture of whey and casein shakes. I am asking if this much amount of protein POWDER can harm my body. I weigh around 250 pounds and I am eating around another 100 grams of protein from regular food. My only concern is if the high concentration of whey protein powder will harm me and how much would it take. And I already know too much of anything is bad or if you take it for a long time its bad but I'm asking if it will harm me short term or evidence that it will harm me long term OR evidence that this much protein from protein powder a day will not harm me at all.

For those of you who don't know, Skype is a chat and instant messenger that permits you to simply click a button and get in touch via your computer with people the world over. Skype lets you make free phone calls all over the world using just a single mouse click. What could be easier than being able to either talk through your PC microphone or type your messages and have them instantly fly to your friends or loved ones for no cost?
Skype has been called an "imaginary bridge" to people that you know around the globe. That statement is closer to the truth than you can imagine. Many of us simply can't afford to make international calls to our friends in England, Ireland, or Australia. The cost of those phone calls can be exorbitant if we make them from a land line and pay traditional rates for each minute that we speak. Skype doesn't charge a minute-by-minute fee for the phone calls to friends. In fact, Skype doesn't charge any fee in many cases for a phone call to another Skype user.
Skype and Verizon have teamed up to make one of the most powerful new duos in the world.
Using your Verizon phone you can make unlimited Skype- to- Skype calls or use the Skype instant messenger to visit with anyone around the world.
You can make your Skype calls now on your Verizon mobile phone. That means that you're not tied to a computer when it is time to make those skype calls. In addition you can use your Verizon mobile phone without losing a single minute of your time. Your Skype calls don't count against your total minutes used when you use your mobile Verizon phone to make the call to another Skype user, although they do deduct minutes when you call a land line or mobile phone using Skype.
Skype is mobile now which means that staying in touch with your Skype friends just got easier to accomplsh. Verizon is among the most reliable wireless phones in the world, so that means your Skype just got more reliable too. You can contact someone in the UK or even Australia using Skype from your Verizon mobile phone and not have a single minute deducted from your wireless minutes so long as you are calling another Skype user. The advantages of having Skype on your mobile phone are readily apparent. If it doesn't use your minutes, and it doesn't cost you long distance, it's one of the most useful new tools that you've had on a cell phone in years.
Everyone loves Skype. Staying connected to people all over the world and making calls on your skype is part of the fun. Being tied down to your PC wasn't part of the fun, but that's changed thanks to the team-up of skype and Verizon that just took place.
Skype Mobile is a new tool that users around the world can simply put in their pocket and go. Skype mobile makes your life a lot easier. Free calls from your Verizon phone that don't take minutes are a great offering from both Skype and Verizon.
You can download Skype Mobile from your Verizon website. Simply click the download button and install the software. If you don't currently have a Skype user name, register for one following the leads you're going to see on your mobile phone. The rest is easy as pie. Even if you've never used Skype before you're not going to have any problem at all. Add your contacts which you can import from your PC, or if you sign in using your pre-registered name, Skype will load your online contacts for you so they are already in place. Just click the phone icon next to the user that you'd like to call and you're ready to go.
Instant phone calls to any other Skype user in the world and no minutes deducted from your Verizon wireless plan unless you choose to call land lines or phones that do not belong to Skype users. Encourage your friends and family to install Skype mobile on their own Verizon mobile phones so that the two of you have a better and cheaper way to stay in touch all the time.

One Response to "Get the latest on Skype and Verizon…"
I have verizon as a provider but I am not happy about this duo. Let me explain why,
1) No normal phone gets this Skype add on. Only ones that do are the high-end $30 per month smartphones. Not everyone can afford that or really need it.
2) Verizon has set it up in a way that you will lose a good amount of data using it. I called customer service and they explained a 5 minute video call can cost 10mb. I was shocked.
Just a few comments from me. Its still a good business deal from their end.

PANAMA CITY, Fla- A local semi-pro basketball team made another step to getting the team started here in Bay County Saturday. The Panama City Dream held its first open tryouts Saturday morning at The Boys and Girls Club of Bay County.
The team will be part of the ABA, and play games all over the region and even some games across the country. That's the plan for team owner and former College, Pro, and Harlem Globetrotter player A.J. Stallworth.
Players from, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and even local standouts like Michael Vogler, a Bay, Chipola, and Troy alum are trying out for the team.
The team is looking to fill its 12 man roster, and give players another chance to play.
They are also hosting tryouts for a Dance Team to perform at the team games this winter. The team plans to hold another tryout later this month.

Printable View
I am new to ruby programming. I would like to know how to create a document and add elements like texts and tables. I also need to modify those and then write them into a file.
Is it possible to do it with Ruby?
Here's an article on creating and editing text files with Ruby: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/..._Files_in_Ruby
You can add tables within views using Rails just like you would on any other website. Or, you can use CSS instead and pop your collar like all the other cool kids do.
Thanks for your suggestion. But I am purely using only RUBY. Could you please tell me how to create elements like (text, tables) in memory, then edit them in memory and finally print it on a file.
At its simplest form this does what you are asking for:
However, that is extremely simplistic and fails to use Ruby's object orientated splendidness. So although it works and is useful to demonstrate that what you ask for can be done, in reality you would package this up into classes to manage the process and make the code easier to maintain.Code:
# A table is basically an array of arrays. So start by creating the
# host array.
table = Array.new
# Then create some lines. Each line is itself an array
line1 = ['name', 'colour']
line2 = ['George', 'blue']
line3 = ['mary', 'grean']
# Then put the line arrays in the table array
table << line1
table << line2
table << line3
# Alter the second cell in the third line
# (note first line = 0, and first cell = 0)
third_line = 2
second_cell = 1
table[third_line][second_cell] = 'black'
# Create an output file
file_name = "output.txt"
File.delete(file_name) if File.exist?(file_name)
output_file = File.new(file_name, 'w+')
# Add the table info, and close
for line in table
output_file.puts line.join(", ")
This is better:
class DataTable
attr_accessor :current_line, :current_column
attr_reader :file_name
def initialize
@table = Array.new
@current_line = 0
@current_column = 0
def add_line(*entries)
@table << entries
def alter_current_cell(entry)
@table[@current_line][@current_column] = entry
def output_to_file(file_name)
@file_name = file_name
def create_file
File.delete(@file_name) if File.exist?(@file_name)
File.new(@file_name, 'w+')
def put_data_into_file
output_file = File.open(@file_name, 'w+')
for line in @table
output_file.puts line.join(", ")
data_table = DataTable.new
data_table.add_line('Shape', 'Sides')
data_table.add_line('square', 'four')
data_table.add_line('triangle', 'six')
data_table.current_line = 2
data_table.current_column = 1
Thanks! That code worked brilliant.
Is there a way to delete one of the elements / row of elements from the table?
Could you please explain how well OO concepts is implemented in the code.
Thanks in advance
Is there a way to create doc in memory and then add the table elements to it?
Add this method to the class DataTable
Then you can do this:Code:
def remove_line(line_number)
Note again that the first line is line 0. Line 1 is the second line.Code:
data_table = DataTable.new
data_table.add_line('Shape', 'Sides')
data_table.add_line('square', 'four')
data_table.add_line('triangle', 'six')
data_table.current_line = 2
data_table.current_column = 1
Thanks you so much. I was wondering whether it is possible to include HTML feature into the existing code.
1. I need to provide formatting options to change the color and font of HTML text
2. HTML support in Tables elements should support the following:
Primary and Alternate row background colors.
Border on or off.
Color/Font settings for the text in the optional header.
Color/Font settings for the data rows.
3. Write the document to an HTML file.
Thanks in advance
Yes. All that is possible. You just need to invest some time in learning Ruby, HTML and CSS.
I'd recommend you either invest in the latest copy of Dave Thomas' "Programming Ruby" or at least read one of the on line original additions.
As for the HTML stuff: both of sitepoint's HTML and CSS references are a good place to start:
Does CGI script helps for performing what I asked for or Using a module such as Haml or ERb help better?
If you want to serve web pages via a Ruby system, the simplest place to start is Rails.
You may find in the future that you use a different Ruby base technology to serve up web pages, but at the moment there is no better supported Ruby based web page server than Rails. Therefore, there is no better place to gain experience of Ruby for web page delivery than Rails.

Welcome to St. Ignatius Catholic Church
St. Ignatius Catholic Church celebrated its 100th anniversary on May 5, 2013. St. Ignatius was originally dedicated on January 12, 1913 and was named in honor of Rt. Reverend Ignatius Conrad, OSB,who was Abbot of Subiaco Abbey at that time. A larger church was built in 1920. In 1959, the exterior was covered with rock veneer. In the early 1970's, the interior of the church underwent changes mainly in keeping with Vatican II renewal. A major updating of the interior occurred in 1988 for the 75th Diamond Jubilee. The upstairs organ (built prior to 1940) was restored in 2000 by friends of Fr. Raphael DeSalvo. The main interior of the church was completely refinished in 2013 in preparation for the Centennial Celebration.

Rated 4 out of 5 by NigelB Quick, but pleasant, stay Had to make an emergency trip to Toronto and for travelling convenience, stayed at the Westin Prince for the first time. Everything was great with the room and common areas. It was a long day for us, but staff were friendly and helped us out quickly and efficently when needed. We had a great dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Food was very well prepared and good value for cost. Food services staff were very friendly as well. The only negative was paying for parking at a suburban hotel, where more than 50% of the lot was empty. The cost was't over the top for parking ($11 - self park), but disappointed a fee was charged. I would absolutely stay here again if I was in the area. March 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Scotty1264 Horrible welcome I am an SPG Platinum member and I travel for business to Toronto very often for business. I decided to try your hotel again after staying there 2 summers ago. Last Monday , on my way to Toronto, I got tot he airport and realized I forgot my wallet. I had $240 cash with me , so I realized I couldn't get a rental car but would have to taxi my way around til I got my wallet. So I called my assistant and asked her to courier my wallet to Toronto at the ad agency where my meeting was, so I'd have it next morning (Tuesday). I thought that being an SPG Platinum member with my Credit card number on file, there shouldn't be any issue checking in to the hotel. I was very wrong. Upon check in, I explained the situation to the agent, showed her my passport and explained my wallet would be arriving on Tuesday morning, and since I was staying for 2 nights, I would present my credit card when I got back to the hotel on Tuesday night. The agent refused to check me in without a card. So then I asked for the Front desk manager. She told me I would need to pay for the full amount of the room in cash . I only had $170 left after cab fare, and the room was $189 plus taxes. She said the hotel policy is for the room to be prepaid with a credit card, or cash and that this was policy . I asked what options I had and she said there were no other options. After persistence on my end, she then asked if they could email my wife and have her transfer money to the hotel. When I offered her my wifes address (hotmail), she then said that only business emails would work. This sounded very odd to me. After more pleading from me, they agreed to take $120 fromme, leaving me money for food and cab fare to the subway the next day. This whole process took 15 minutes. Needless to say, it was very upsetting and not necessary whatsoever. I felt terrible, like some kind of criminal and I couldn't believe how they could treat a loyal guest so rudely. Both the manager and the agent were very cold and uncaring, showing no compassion whatsoever, and only interested in getting my money,no matter how much I reminded them they had my Mastercard number on file, that I'd have my wallet next day ( I even offered to show them the email confirming my wallet being couriered, but they declined) My hotel room is my home away from home when I travel, and when I check in to a hotel its nice to be welcomed warmly. This is by far the worst front desk experience I have ever had, and in my opinion , its a clear example of employees not being empowered to do the right thing. I highly doubt I would ever stay at this property ever again but I hope you are able to rectify this so if anyone else has this issue they don't have to suffer the treatment that I received.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Noplugs No power plugs Hello, Although I really like the SPG brand. I am forever amazed at how little power plugs you have in your rooms. The plugs in the lights never work, and the others are always blocked by TV units or beds. My room was 404 and I had to pull the king sized bed out, unplug the lights and plug in my charger for my iPad and iPhone. Rather inconvenient don't you think? Not to mention there is nowhere to plug in the iron!!! With today's electronic world of business travellers carrying iPhones, iPads and laptops I would expect hotels to follow suit. Maybe a power bar in each room? Thanks Jeff February 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by appledc Usually good, but not last visit During my last stay I was awoken by incessant knocking. It was a man stating to be the hotel manger (Curt?) and a facilities person demanding that I leave the room for a fire alarm check. I indicated for them to come back later. He kept knocking and knocking demanding I leave the room immediately because they weren't going to alter their schedule. I said I wasnt' notified, since it wasn't mentioned at checkin, not posted in the elevator or my floor, or on my door. He said there was a notice hanging inthe lobby and that I had to give them access immediately. I was ticked off and left the buiilding. Nornally the rest of the staff is outstanding, but I can't believe these two acted like stormtroopers to evict guests who weren't notifed. I've been at this hotel before when the power went out a couple of times and that didn't bother me because of the great overall staff,, but the recent treatement does. August 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by beryb pleasant stay but far from downtown Positive: Courteous staff, clean, spacious room, super comfy bed/pillows, taxis on site readily available, nearby bus stop which takes you to subway and on to downtown in about 35 minutes), in-rooom items such as coffee maker, fridge, hair dryer, etc. Negative: distance to downtown, shower curtain smelled moldy, not so nice view from room 508, difficulty using wifi Didn't use any of the on-site facilities like pool or gym. Dinner at Katsura- chef was entertaining, food was good, but not quite worth the expense. July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by familyrocks Wonderful beds We stayed at this hotel following a celebration of life ceremony. Good things were room cleanliness, the comfortable bed and the friendly efficient bartender. Check out staff were also warm and friendly. Areas to improve - better quality toilet paper please! The check in process could have been more welcoming. Not everyone is there for a happy event. On an up note the room attendants/cleaning staff were very friendly. September 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WGW27 Should include internet in suite. I was very suprised that the Westin still charges for WiFi use in the suite. I have travelled a lot the past 3 years in Europe, Canada and the US and have found that it is now standard to be offered complimentary in all hotels from modest to five star . For the amount of time I needed it, it did not make sense to pay the fees being charged but at the same time it was very inconvenient to always have to go downstairs. This will definately influence my decision to stay here again. June 11, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by paball Mistakes made What looks to be a beautiful property, just did not live up to our needs. It was our 20th anniversary and sadly our room did not work out. Everything was fine until the first of two nights. The room temp said it was going down to 60, but it was very warm and we could not sleep. I informed the staff and had a card in the room that said they fixed the problem. The 2nd night was worse. Very warm and had a very hard time sleeping. After the first day our room was never cleaned. I asked a maid in the hall and she said that her shift was over. We went out to dinner and when we got back the room was half cleaned. No towels. I called for towels and they never arrived. I called the next morning and it took 30+ minutes. For a hotel of this caliber, these mistakes and problems should not occur. Pretty sure our 40th will not be there. August 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chris Very nice hotel I am always very happy with the room and service. It's the little things that I appreciate. The coffee is replaced each day. Even the desk pen was replaced after I took it with me on the first day. Very clean hotel and the staf is exremely freindy and helpful. The only small complaint is the temperature of the rooms. There is a draft and I had to keep the heat turned up to 80. Other than that I have no complaints. February 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MAS4887 I love the Prince I always enjoy staying here and this saturday was a bonus as I was the starwood guest of the day. Which in itself is lovely but it was especially nice as I had driven through a blizzard from WIndsor to take my 87 year mom to dinner and a movie. What was normally a three hour drive took five and I was seriously questioning my judgement. So, to be treated with an upgrade was wonderful. Just a great oasis as always February 4, 2013

Rated 3 out of 5 by J5542 Uncomfortable temperature This hotel was uncomfortable in all the common areas. The temperature was stifling. The bar, the restaurant, the meeting rooms where all very hot. The bar was so hot I was sweating. So I just left. The picture quality on the TV is a joke, it was like they where using rabbit ears for the signal. Most unpleasant stay due to lack of air conditioning. June 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by webber1177 Staff is excellent This is our 10th stay at the Prince and Lidja normally takes care of us. Clara more than filled her shoes and the entire front desk staff was beyond excellent. Leroy, Ernie and Steve were their congenial best. Only the menu and food at the coffee shop still needs improvement. We will certainly stay with you on our next trip to Toronto.. September 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TP007 Nice for weekend stay Nice amenities. Good location if driving except there is a separate charge for self parking a vehicle. It is nice to have access to the tennis court. Fitness desk staff was helpful. It would be nice if there were a sign up sheet for tennis courts. Bathroom seemed small; showerheads seemed lower than normal. August 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by linda Linda Front Desk people are angels. Milia was our contact person and she was terrific. I will say that I was surprised at how much in excess of the room rate you "hold" on check in. I hope no one is close to their credit limit when that happens. Good thing I used a card with plenty of credit limit! February 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mount13 Our stay was pleasant We were satisfied during our short stay at Westin Prince Toronto, as the environment within and without the hotel was beautiful and very nicely maintained, the room was clean and pleasant, and the personnel at the front desk and for the service was kind and very helpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tara35 No stone left unturned The Prince met and exceeded my expectations. I felt well taken care of the whole time and while nothing arose that needed tending if it did, i knew who to ask and feel it would have been done. Staff were approachable whilst not being overbearing. February 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SHS34 Stay here frequently on business I stay here often when I'm in Toronto on business. The hotel, facilities, rooms and staff are all quite good. The little touches are appreciated. A couple of minor details: The pillows provided are generally feather pillows. As someone with severe allergies, I normally request synthetic foam pillows, which your housekeeping staff is happy to provide, but they are almost invariably old and lumpy and uncomfortable. Also, there aren't readily accessible electrical outlets to plug in devices like phones and laptops to charge. There's one at the desk, but the others are all hidden behind heavy furniture. Aside from that, a good place to stay. May 15, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Arrowmaker Nice Property, but the Kitchen does not meet the Starwood standard Stayed at here for the first time in 15 years a few days ago. Very impressed with the updates and, of course, always impressed with the 'Heavenly Bed'. Unfortunately, the kitchen is not up tot the Starwood standard. We went to the dining room about 8:30 pm on Sunday evening for a small bite after a day on the road. The warm Camembert I ordered was certainly not warm and essentially tasteless. The next morning, the kitchen could not correctly produce soft-boiled eggs; poached and hard-boiled were offered before we finally gave up. The wait staff were attentive, diligent, professional and truly apologetic. The deficiency was in the kitchen. September 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by drnature Getting your needs met Medical conferences can be exhausting. Flying in to a new place in the middle of winter can be disorienting. The Westin staff were friendly and seasoned at anticipating needs. I didn't have a car and the thought of either trying to find my way around or bracing the below temps was solved by eating at the lovely in-house restaurants. Want Japanese, Continental or Persian? - the choices were varied and I still want the grilled eggplant recipe stuffed with walnut paste and drizzled with pommegranite juice. The room was modern minimalist, but gave an expansive warm feeling. Great for anyone who suffers from claustrophia. Small details in the ammenities like the clothesline for wet swim suits, complimentary Starbucks, robe, hair dryer, iron, and toiletries. All of these things seem small, but when you are restricted from carrying items either because of security or cost they are welcome ammenities. It was lovely to wake up and use the fitness room, slip into the hot tub (could have been warmer) and then slide over to the sauna. Tyson, the concierge, was exceptional with coordinating ground transportation to the airport or answering any question or finding my not quite dry bathing suit after check-out and neatly packing it into my luggage. Without hesitation, I would stay at The Westin again. February 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacko Great location and a home like feel. We stay here quite often and have always enjoyed our stay. The staff are quite open, friendly and accomodating. The workout facility is well equipped and above what one would normally find at a hotel centre. The location of the hotel is fantastic being close to the downtown but not in the downtown. The 401 and DVP are a block away for easy access to anywhere you want to go. Things are quiet around the hotel and going for a walk or run is an easy option. The restaurant has a great setting with good service and food. The pool is seasonal (indoor whirlpool though) and is kept clean and inviting. A great place to stay and would highly recommend a stay here. April 11, 2012

Selling the Smart Grid - The Backlash
California learns painful lessons from its proposal to mandate demand response.
different pieces of the load management puzzle and try to find out what's the right combination of prices and technology that will give California the most response.
Fortnightly: What lessons were learned from this episode? What advice can you offer to regulators in other states considering DR programs?
Pfannenstiel: The first lesson we learned was the need to get information out in advance, make sure people understand what DR is and isn't, and why it makes sense. We haven't done that well anywhere in the country. Second, I'd stress economic benefits to customers, the potential savings that are available. Our society responds to prices but people don't know much about electricity prices. We need to compress the learning curve to have effective demand-response programs.
Fortnightly: In the past consumers have been disappointed when utilities and regulators promised cost savings, and then prices went up anyway. Doesn't it make more sense to tell consumers, "Prices are going up inevitably, and we're giving you the tools to manage your costs"?
Pfannenstiel: It makes sense in general, but for an individual household or business it's not necessarily the case. If you are a customer whose usage is primarily off peak, under cost-based time-varying prices, one would expect costs to go down. Those whose use is mostly on peak will see their electricity costs go up.
In moving to cost-based rates, the individual customer impact will vary enormously, and that variation may wipe out average cost variations. I believe a cost-based rate design is where we need to go, in California and across the country. We need to give people signals about the cost their usage is imposing on the whole electric system. This will be a difficult transition because we're so far away from that now. But if we start now, it will make other issues we're dealing with, such as technology applications, more tractable.

best beer for chili?
- l
- Lady_Tenar Jan 22, 2012 03:38 PM
I've made chili before with red wine (I know some people will think that's sacrilege but it was always delicious!) but never before with beer. It's something I want to try though, for variety. Anyone have any advice on what kind of beer is best to use for chili? I thought of a stout or porter, because I usually add a bit of chocolate to my chili but I wonder if that will be too assertive or too Irish stew-y (although all the different smoked peppers and other seasonings I add aren't exactly evocative of Irish cooking lol.) Thoughts?
Just made a pot o' chili myself, and I always use Modelo Negra. I always cook with dark beer and this is not only Mexican and dark, but cheap (ish) too.
re: paulj
I always put either cocoa or coffee in mine too, along with the beer....I'm not so much into pure heat. Not that it's not blistering spicy anyway. The beer I use to pressure cook the meat before adding to the pot. If it was just all hot peppers, don't know if it would be as well received, even by chiliheads, too one dimensional.
I've always made it with whatever pilsner I had on hand -- depending on my location, that's ranged from Bud or PBR to Warsteiner to Paulaner to the generic cheap-ass pils I keep on hand for boiling sausages and making chili.
There are so many other things going on in chili, both flavor-wise and texture-wise, that I agree with you that a stout or porter would just add more noise to the commotion than you'd really want.
I usually use smithwicks for cooking anytime I add beer to a recipe. It works amazing in beer cheddar soup and chili's I make.
I usually just add whatever beer I have on hand the day I'm cooking the chili. Made a turkey chili this weekend with some Long Trail Ale (an amber ale) - very tasty, adds a subtle background to the chili without competing/overpowering the other components.
If I have it handy, I stick with Texas and use Shiner Bock - which is also lovely to drink with your chili, as well!
re: GH1618
I do not like beer to drink. What is the purpose of beer in chili instead of other liquid?
re: randyjl
The added flavor and liquid from the beer itself -- and there are lots and lots of flavor compounds that are alcohol-soluble, rather than fat- or water-soluble. Using a little alcohol in your cooking unlocks these flavor compounds -- that's why people add wine, beer, or liquors to dishes while they're cooking.
re: randyjl
Just added flavor. It should be a strong enough flavored beer to add some character, but not something which would dominate it. But if you don't like it, it's certainly not essential. The only essential ingredient in chili is chiles.
re: GH1618
Hmm. I don't think so. Sure chiles are necessary, but i think the defining spice is cumin. Without Cumin, it really isn't chili.
I mean curry has chiles in it, as do plenty of things.
re: TroyTempest
Cumin is one of the top ingredients in bottled curry powders.
The use of cumin does separate Texas style chili from Mexican meat stews that use similar dried chiles (carne con chile colorado). But the mild dried chiles like ancho and New Mexico that form the backbone of chili (at least in Texas) are virtually unknown in India.
re: randyjl
Most competition chili cooks won't put beer in chili because they say it gives the chili a funky scent. Other alcoholic beverages (wine, whisky, tequila, vodka, etc.) are more frequently used. I put zinfandel in one of my chili recipes.
re: Perilagu Khan
and whisky or tequila would arguably be more "authentic" (whatever authentic means...) -- only because I have a hard time imagining (in the Western that plays in my mind) Cookie making a big pot of Texas red for the cowpokes and tipping a bottle of wine into it....
re: sunshine842
The earliest chili recipes were extremely basic. Not much more than beef and peppers. I figure Cookie and the pokes would've poured that whisky and tequila directly into their open mouths long before it got the chance to make it into the chili pot. ;)
re: Perilagu Khan
re: Perilagu Khan
I'm not cooking for a competition, I'm cooking for myself and I just want to try different things. As I said, I frequently use wine for chili, and I've used whiskey too (and a smoky, peety scotch is nice too!). To me, one of the best things about chili is that there are so many "right" ways to make it. As far as I know, there isn't a single ingredient that can possibly be used for chili--ground meat, tomatoes, beans, wine, beer, etc.--that somebody somewhere doesn't howl objection to. The thing, is I like all those things and I think they can all be successfully incorporated into chili. I've made it a lot of different ways and I just want to try another one.
re: Lady_Tenar
somebody once said that there are as many chili recipes as there are chili cooks...and I think that still underestimates the number of recipes out there.
Use what you like and what tastes good to you...and you'll end up with chili that YOU like (which is the objective, I think....)
re: Lady_Tenar
Who's howling?
re: Perilagu Khan
Besides the beer, I do put a nice shot of tequila too. That goes straight into the pot.
re: sunshine842
Both, to tell the truth. Gotta make sure it didn't go bad!
re: rob133
A brown ale is probably a good choice for this role - enough of the complexity of the dark ales, but not heavily hopped.
I don't know anything about cooking w/ beer. However, reading the post title, Cave Creek Chili beer came to mind. Besides the beer component, It'll add some spicy kick.
I don't have a lot of experience cooking chili with beer, but have been experimenting with a Texas Brisket Chili recipe that calls for a bottle of cheap mexican beer. I couldn't even tell you the brand I used nor could I tell you exactly what it added to teh chili. Would have to make it with and without and haven't bothered.
When do most of you add the beer? I add it after I've sweated the aromatics. I add the bottle of beer and some apple cider vinegar and let that cook down till it's syrupy and starting to stick to the bottom of the pan. That's when the chilies and meats get added.
re: hawkeyeui93
I just made chili today with Shock Top which is also a Belgian White ale with coriander and citrus. It made a really tasty chili.
re: suburban_mom
I'd be worried that a lightly flavored beer like that would get lost among the stronger flavors of the chili.
re: TroyTempest
The argument for adding beer is that it is great for adding sugars and the maltier flavors. The sugars aren't precisely 'sweeter' but rather add depth of flavor.
re: hawkeyeui93
my point was that i wouldn't add a citrus flavored beer (or citrus flavored anything for that matter) to chili.
re: TroyTempest
Having not tried Shock Top in chili, I have no opinion. With that being said, I could also see it working. After all, a good tequila is peppery and citrus works magic with it.

Trapper captures dog-eating alligator in Orlando lake
A trapper late Wednesday captured an 11-foot alligator suspected of snatching and killing a 55-pound pit bull playing in an Orlando lake.
The gator was captured around 11 p.m. at Eagle Nest Park near Lescot Lane in Orlando.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said a man was playing fetch with his dog when the gator attacked the pit bull and dragged it underwater.
"My (dog), he turned around, came to me, and he took off to run back again," said Eric Glover, referring to King, his 10-month-old pit bull. "And when he took off again, the gator came out, snatched him in front of the bank here and took him in. And that was it."
The trapper tried to catch the gator for three days before nabbing it late Wednesday.
Several houses back up to the lake, which is near Kirkman Road and Raleigh Street. A bike path and jogging trail outline the edge of the lake. Neighbors said many children take the path every day to and from Eagle's Nest Elementary School.
