"Wonderfully romantic weekend"
Fantastic experience. It's really a one of kind spot and a very special part of the LA experience.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Shutters On The Beach"
One of the very nicest hotels I've ever stayed in Southern California five stars all the way.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Worth the money..."
Superb: Amazing location right on the beach and near everything good in SM. Rooms are clean, linens are top flight, hotel staff is fully accommodating. Turn down service with robes and slippers. Room service is excellent. Pool is hip, happening and fun. Lots of int'l travelers. Great vibe, very alive. Manager personally thanked us on the way out. Final […] bill was right (what a treat!) Effortless experience. Not superb: Mostly things outside of personnel control: Layout of mulitple buildings is confusing. Rooms are tiny, bathrooms very attached to sleeping areas, not providing much privacy. Most shelf space is in closet. Gym is awkwardly located and too small and hot (why bother?) Within management control: Staff in Coast restaurant is very uneven, breakfast is excellent but otherwise food is ok and expensive. Car valet system is overwhelmed but staff handles it pretty well; doing their best in too-small a space. No gluten free or other limited diet menus Overall: Looking forward to going back soon. Worth the money. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Wonderful hotel - will not return"
I did not feel special at the hotel or even welcomed. I felt the hotel charged for too many services - I used a chair and umbrella at the beach - $30 plus tax. I did not price the other rentals. A single concierge for Labor Day with 2 weddings handling guests and the phones was ridiculous - after using the car service I called for 40 minutes straight […] with no answer. The hotel room was fabulous, location is great and loved the jazz music on Friday and Saturday. I stayed in a bungalow at the Fairmont for less last month and enjoyed my stay much better.

"Convenient location in Santa Monica"
We had wanted to stay at this hotel since our last visit where we were at Casa Del Mar. The architecture and interiors are beautifully done and resemble a Cape Cod beach house. The rooms are very small and cramped with low ceilings in the entry. They are, however, well appointed. The bathrooms are dated and in need of refurbishment. The staff uniforms […] are terrific and befitting of the style of the hotel. Very brand aligned. The service was very hit and miss. We found quite a number of staff quite snooty and indifferent. They often forgot that they are there to service the guests. incredible really when I find that service in the US hotel industry is of a generally high standard. Not a single person assisted my family on departure with 10 bags and 3 children in tow. They weren't busy; they were quite apathetic. I wouldnt return simply because of the inconsistent service. Judging by other reviews are there is a systemic problem here. I doubt it will change. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Brilliant,food,staff, hotel and a heatwave Expensive but brilliantGenuine Expedia guest review
We were married here 3 years ago. Returned for our anniversary anniversary and it was as wonderful as we remembered. Upgraded to a fantastic corner unit on 5th floor with great ocean view. Only negative was that there was a convention if some sort here so hotel was very crowded.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Lovely Hotel Staff extremely helpful and welcoming"
This has to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and I would recommend this to anyone. From arrival to departure the staff at the hotel looked after us extremely well making the stay feel very special.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel on the beach"
An excellent position. Everything is close by. Pool overlooking beach is great and service excellent.Genuine Expedia guest review
"It was okay, valet horrible"
When we drove up, I was disappointed. Entered hotel, dark - further disappointed. Had to transfer from one elevator to the next to get to our room. Room was cramped with tons of tables and shelves, but they were all filled with their stuff, no real space for our suitcases and purses and bags. Made it difficult to move around in. The sleep was great. […] Valet didn't get our car when we called and then proceeded to lie to us and told us that it was sent back. We came out immediately after calling. That didn't happen. The best thing would have been for them to admit the truth - they dropped the ball! For the price I would not recommend this place at all. Not worth it! V Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Shutters on the Beach Dear Disappointed Frequent Traveler, Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. I am sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and apologize for the setbacks you encountered with valet. We take honesty and integrity extremely seriously and I personally investigated this matter. From our CCTV, I can confirm that the car in question was brought up, and then back down again. Although sending the car back to the garage was certainly an error, for which we truly apologize, the integrity of the valet staff is intact. Thank you for bringing these matters to my attention. Sincerely, Gregory Day, General Manager Shutters on the Beach
"Gorgeous hotel right on the beach"
A lovely hotel, very comfy rooms and helpful staffGenuine Expedia guest review
"A little advice!"
We had just stayed at 5 other hotels before this one and all of the hotels were wonderful and so we compared shutters to them and they lacked in a few categories. They knew it was my 60th birthday just like all the other hotels and they were lacklustre about it. Of course I knew what the other hotels had done to help "kick it up" for the occasion. The […] staff were not as friendly as the other hotels and we were paying the same kind of fees to stay at all of them and so they should feel somewhat the same. They need a lesson in customer service and what customers expect when they are paying. $500.00 plus per night. Mgmt should check out the service standards at the four seasons Biltmore if they want to see what I mean! I was disappointed for sure! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Lovely, colonial style hotel on the beach."
Lovely pool area with deck overlooking beach. Very nice casual restaurant Coast. Easy walk to Pier and main shopping areaGenuine Expedia guest review
"Amazing small hotel. Wonderful surprise."
If you prefer a quiet little hotel on the beach at Santa Monica this is for you. What a wonderful surprise to find such a pretty and intermit accommodation. We both felt relaxed from the moment we walked in the doors. We were frightened that staying in a hotel over the Christmas period would be a bit noisy but we had none of that. Having flown in from […] the UK Christmas Eve there was something very special about our whole experience. The rooms & facilities are excellent. The staff helpful. & accommodating. Our trip & stay was much too short only 2 nights, really must stay longer next time. We will be back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

We have stayed in some fantastic hotels throughout the world , but shutters really is very very special , it's got that rare combination of ultimate luxury , yet feels so homely . Location is fantastic on the sea front , we wished we had more time to stay , I was sad to leave . Staff were very helpful & friendly . We really couldn't find fault with […] anything .

Situated on Venice / Muscle Beach, Sanat Monica, LA - a wonderful location if you are looking for sun, sea and fun. Busling atmoshere and the occasion celeb hanging out. Absolutely loved itGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beach holiday"
4 tables for outside eating and drinking was a joke For the size of hotel it was rediculousGenuine Hotels.com guest review
This is a lovely hotel in a good location but it's too expensive. The rooms are beautifully decorated but not overly large, we had a view of the street which meant that traffic noise, sirens etc were audible throughout the day and into the evening.Genuine Expedia guest review
"great holiday hotel"
Amazing hotel! great staff and great experience...... one thing i was a little shocked on is that they charge you for internet use...this day and age this should be free of charge.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A little bit of Luxury"
I first visited Shutters with my daughter a couple of years ago, then it was just for lunch but Iknew my husband would love it so this year brought him for a treat. Unfortunately we were only able to sat one night as we had to move on. He was just as taken with the style and comfort as I was and we will return ! We have photos , which we will send on. […] Our friends back here in England love the look of both the interior decor and the stunning facade both by day and night. Our only disappointment was that we were not able to eat in the dining room as it was closed for a private function that night. We enjoyed a meal in the lovely hotel next door but really didnt want to leave the comfort and ambience of Shutters which was very much more our style. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Perfect in every way"
Amazing location right on the beach. Throughout the hotel so much attention to every detail. One of the most comfortable hotel beds ever slept in. Great staff. Pool area is superb.Genuine Expedia guest review
"An expensive treat"
Not the newest hotel in the area but the service and facilities are fabulous and as a special treat I think just about justifies its sky-high rates. Go on - spoil yourself for a night or two...!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great LA hotel"
This is a fantastic hotel, perfect as a base for exploring Santa Monica, Venice Beach and for day trips into Hollywood, Beverly Hills etc. The staff were all very welcoming. Facilities were excellent and the restaurant staff were great. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel,would stay again , but park myself"
We stayed in Shuttes for 3 nights during a road trip around Southern California, this was he Highlight Hotel of our trip , it was everything you want from a hotel. I travel a lot worldwide and enjoy many top rated hotels, this is the one of best hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at. The only downside are the chargeable WiFi which should be included […] in all 5* hotels as standard , it is not necessary to charge this when the hotel rate is high. Also the Overnight Valet parking for 3 days is charged at a daily rate which is unreasonable. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Sexy Shutters does it for me."
Shutters is a stunner. It really is a brilliant, sexy, little hotel in paradise. It's size enables it to be intimate and staff to really provide you with a personal service, whilst it is big enough to to cater for all your needs. The room was great - great amenities, comfortable bed, jacuzzi, balcony - and decorated to a really high standard. Gym […] is well stocked with a great little steam room. The sun deck and pool are also great to catch a few rays. I haven't stayed at any of the other LA hotels but don't need to - in comparison to the majority of hotels I have stayed in Shutters is up there. Its a 35-45 dollar taxi to LAX.

"Bedre kan det knapt bli!"
Fantastisk hotell, med dyktig betjening.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
素人が撮影しても絵になる風景のなか、客層もファッショナブルなセレブな人たちばかり。スタッフの対応も良く気分良く過ごせました。レストランで夕食と朝食を頂きましたが盛りつけも味も良かったです。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
眺めが全くない、残念な部屋でしたが、サービスはとても気持ちがよく、また滞在したいと思わせるものでした。レストランのサーバーもとてもフレンドリーで、食事もおいしく、満足でした。 設備面では、バスルームの塗装が剥げていたり、カビが生えていたり、シンクの栓が壊れたりと、メンテナンスに費用をかけていないことがあからさまで、ホテルの値段には見合わない状況でした。ベッドのスプリングも古くなっているのを感じました。そろそろ投資をして、リノベーションをしたほうがよいと思います。設備の老朽化を考慮してもまた泊まりたいです。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fabelaktig beliggenhet"
Dette er måten å oppleve Santa Monica på!! Spis frokost på koselige Coast før du rusler ut på Santa Monica Boulevard og opplever folkelivet på stranden. Det er bare en liten gåtur fra både selve Santa Monica Pier og handlegatene. Hotellet la meget godt til rette for at vi hadde med oss en liten en. Eneste negative var at vi glemte igjen noen verdisaker […] på hotellet etter avreise og måtte kontakte hotellet noen dager etterpå for å høre om de hadde funnet noe. Verdisakene var allerede funnet, men jeg var overasket at de ikke tok kontakt med meg umiddelbart da de ble funnet. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Immer wieder gern im Shutters, dem perfekten Hotel am Strand von Santa Monica. Die Lage ist einzigartig (daher auch der Preis). Zimmer u Hotel insgesamt sehr gemütlich. Zu empfehlen ist das Frühstück im "Coast".Genuine Hotels.com guest review
お部屋もレストランもちょどよい大きさで、居心地はいいのに品格が漂う雰囲気がとても良かったです。スタッフもフレンドリー。日本人はほとんどいませんでした。周囲は裏手の道がちょっと夜になると怖い感じがしましたが、海岸にダイレクトにアクセスできて散歩には最適でした。バスタブがあり、しかもジャグジー月でした。ただ歯ブラシがないので、持参の必要あり。ベットは登るという表現がぴったりなくらい高いですが、寝心地は抜群です。観光というより、ホテルでゆっくりしたい人にピッタリかも。また泊まりたいです。Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell Interview Cover December 2012
Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell Reveal All For Interview
Supermodel friends Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell have reunited for their first joint cover since the February 2008 issue of Vogue Paris.
Moss and a bare-chested Campbell cover the December 2012 issues of Interview Russia and Interview Germany, photographed in black and white by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. That both the models and the pictures are black and white underscores a portion of their joint interview in the magazine. In an excerpt from it, Moss asks Campbell whether being one of the most visible black models in the world felt "like a battle you were fighting?"
"I can't say that the word battle is the right word but it definitely felt like it was an uphill struggle for something," Campbell says. "I felt like I had to do what I had to do for my race and to keep awareness out there."
Herein, a peek at the images. Warning, some may be unsuitable for work.

The hotel was really located in the heart of Sorrento so that was great! Do not spend all your time on the main street. The smaller ones where the markets are have great restaurants and lower prices not to mention it is not as noisy. The staff in this hotel looked tired and bored all the time except for the front desk morning and night person. Each time we asked a question it seems it was not appropriate.

nice hotel,staff helpful,coffe and tea at breakfast was weak and tasteless but every thing else about the hotel was quite good and would recommend it if you want to stay in the centre of Sorrento.

The hotel is located in the heart of Sorrento and is close to everything we needed. It is on the main steet and near the main town square. We took the train in from Naples (Not a great choice) but the train station is within walking distance. The room was adequate, the front desk staff was helpful and pleasant. The only real negative was the breakfast service and choice of foods. The coffee offered was really terrible. Considering that you are in Italy, the coffee is normally great, this tasted like bad instant. We ate some of our breakfasts at the English Pub down the street to the right as you come out of the hotel.

Is This the 2014 Barracuda Hiding Out in the Weeds?
March 28, 2012
Recently, CBS's staid block of news programming 60 Minutes sat down with Fiat/Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne and chatted about the roll coaster ride the company has been on for the last few years. Some of the topics discussed ranged from negotiating the controlled bankruptcy of Chrysler with the US government back in 2009, the horrible bureaucracy that plagued the company, to the recent introduction of the Dodge Dart. It's all very interesting to listen to and, whether or not you care about Chrysler, you do gain a certain respect for Marchionne who, as it turns out, is one of the biggest workaholics in the automotive industry.
As we've seen in the past, though, when 60 Minutes sits down with a notable auto exec and takes their cameras inside the halls and rooms around company headquarters, what's usually out of focus in the background of certain shots can sometimes be more interesting than the story that's being reported on. And it seems members of the Chrysler-centric website Allpar may have locked in on something.
At around the 10 minute mark in the video, 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft takes a break from chatting with Marchionne to talk to Chrysler's SRT Division CEO and head of design Ralph Gilles. In the background of the footage of the talking Gilles, there appears to be a design for a coupe of some sort painted in red paint. Okay, so it isn't hiding out in the weeds, but whatever it could be is hiding out behind Ralph Gilles. Chrysler has reportedly been working on the revival of Plymouth's old Barracuda muscle car to be sold either as a Dodge or underneath the Viper as another SRT-branded model. Could this be it? What do you think?
When Automotive News picked up on Allpar's findings, they contacted Chrysler where a representative responded and said the design was "just one of the many concepts and projects in our studios. That one [was] a student model." While I have no reason to doubt any of that, the rep also didn't say it wasn't a student design for a new Barracuda.
The 60 Minutes segment can be viewed here. Again, the car comes in around the 10 minute mark. It's also worth watching, if you haven't already.

I'll also go out on a limb and say the car in the video looks too small to be LX... perhaps a study for a possible Avenger-sized coupe?
GM did the same thing with the CTS and the Granite, though that was later canceled.
And, ATS, unless that what you were referring to
I'm with fullmoon here. If the Barracuda comes out, I think its going to either look very similar in shape to the Challenger or else the rear of the car will have a first/second gen roof/deckline... and the car pictured in the video is not striking me as either.
I'll also go out on a limb and say the car in the video looks too small to be LX... perhaps a study for a possible Avenger-sized coupe?
The rumored new Barracuda is supposed to be a blend of contemporary styling and a few retro cues pulled from each generation of Barracuda. It won't just be a revival of the old E-Body Barracuda like the LC Challenger was a revival of the old E-Body Challenger. It's also hard to say if the roofline would be like a '68 or something completely different, too.
It's interesting you mention the apparent size of the design study. There are rumors the new Barracuda may turn out to be Avenger-based, since the next Avenger may turn out to be rear-wheel drive and have a lot in common with a new rear-drive Alfa sedan. Chrysler is supposed to be working heavily in tandem with Fiat on a new "CUSW compliant" rear-drive architecture for a host of new mid-sized vehicles.
There are also rumors that the revival of the Barracuda doesn't signal the end of the Challenger, either. The Belvedere plant is rumored to shut down for a period of time at the beginning of next year while a new car is also rumored to show up at the Brampton plant.
If this new rear-drive architecture is supposed to be "CUSW compliant," then it makes sense Belvedere shuts down to tool up for two new models (the 'Cuda and new Alfa). Also the plant shutting down in early 2013 to tool up for a new vehicle or two could also mean it would've been shown to the public in the fall, which is when it's rumored Chrysler will show some sort of confirmation for the new Barracuda. If the 'Cuda is produced at Belvedere, then what will be the new car at the Brampton plant? It only makes sense the Challenger would be that car, since a larger Challenger would fill a different niche than the Barracuda. Also, if the Barracuda is branded as an SRT vehicle and not a Dodge, then it's completely logical to assume Dodge would want their sole coupe to continue on.
The waters are certainly murky.

Yes, I've read that as well... what styling cues made the 1st/2nd gen Barracuda special?... the front end and the roofline/deck and taillights. The roofline in the video is clearly nothing like any previous 'Cuda roof/deck. Also, depending on how you look at the image in the video, there might be wraparound taillights (ala Altima Coupe)... which would also be not much like a 'Cuda. Hence, I do not feel this is the new Barracuda. After all, if the new Barracuda is nothing like the old one then, sure, the image in the video could be it... or it could just as likely be Jeep's not-so-upcoming new passenger coupe.
To be honest, I don't like the car image in the video. I hope that any modern 'Cuda will have a healthy set of historic styling cues... at least something of a wraparound rear window... something that has been missing from the car industry for a decade.

What are friends for?
I don't like to admit it, but I've been feeling a bit down in the mouth this week. Perhaps I'm missing New York, or maybe it's the changing season - the days are getting shorter (it gets dark here around seven thirty) and it's cold now when I go for my early morning run in the park.
The leaves are turning yellow and they will soon begin to fall. I've also just received my credit card statement for August and realise how much money I spent in New York (ouch!). Then my sister was rushed into hospital for an emergency operation yesterday. Oh, yes, and my girlfriend and I just broke up (so I suppose I should say my ex-girlfriend). It's not been a good month. Advice and tips, please.
But then I went online and read your comments on my previous column, and they cheered me up enormously. It was like reading a letter from an old friend. And what are friends for? So thank you.
I laughed aloud when I read Kirsti's (France) comment. I hope my New York friends didn't read it! Gaga (Georgia) was wonderfully concise. I laughed aloud again.
No, Anh, (Vietnam) I wasn't bitten by insects (or anything else!) in Central Park. Thank you all for your concern. Iza, from Poland, may be right: perhaps I was lucky not to have been mugged. Antonis, from that lovely Greek island, Crete, used a nice word: grumpy. Personally, I am never grumpy [and if you believe that you'll believe anything - Lucy].
Yes, Ana (Poland), the cat survived me, and I survived the cat. Monica (Brazil), like Lucy, also thinks I'm not safe to be left alone, but I love the way she ended her comment with 'Take care and behave yourself'. In fact, many of you have sent good wishes in very affectionate ways: 'Thanks and God bless' (Anil Ray), 'Cheers' (Jill Huang, Beijing) and 'Good luck boy' (Analu Lima, Brazil). I even got some virtual Brazilian kisses (Adriana) to brighten up a chilly London autumn day.
Excuse me for a second, that's the phone.
Well, I've just had some good news about my sister. Her operation was successful and, after a long period of total rest, she should recover completely. And then I received an unexpected (small) cheque in the post. Things are looking up. Lucy took me to an excellent Indian restaurant last night for my birthday. And I've saved the best till last: Lu got the grades she needed to take up her place at university! Thank you all for asking. We didn't stop partying for a week! Right now we're packing her books and clothes into a huge trunk ready for our trip to Scotland at the end of the month. I'll take photos of where Lucy will be studying to show you in October.
Meanwhile, many thanks, take care and please keep writing to me.
Best wishes,
to admit to accept something is true which you would rather was not true; to acknowledge something, reluctantly feeling a bit down in the mouth sad missing If you miss (or are missing) a place, you feel sad because you are not there. turning changing to credit card statement a printed document you receive each month which tells you how much money you have spent using your credit card, and how much must be repaid was rushed into hospital was taken into hospital suddenly and very quickly for emergency treatment ex- former; if you are divorced, your former wife or husband can be called your 'ex-wife' or 'ex-husband'; in colloquial English you can refer to a former partner as 'my ex-' (for example: 'I bumped into my ex- at the pub last night.') tips suggestions cheered me up made me feel happier aloud the opposite of silently what are friends for? what is the purpose of friends? concise brief and direct grumpy bad-tempered, miserable and cynical (and, by the way, Lucy is completely wrong!) affectionate demonstrating fondness; showing caring friendliness chilly rather cold and (feeling) unpleasant Things are looking up. Things are getting better. trunk a strong case or box for storing things or transporting things on a journey
Focus on tenses Re-read the first paragraph. How many different tenses have I used? Can you find examples of the Present Simple, the Present Perfect Continuous, the Present Continuous, a Future structure, the Present Perfect, the Past Simple and the Past Simple in the Passive Voice? As you identify each tense structure make sure you understand why I used it (try translating into your mother tongue if you need help understanding tense selection: this can help even if your mother tongue doesn't have 'tenses'). Word groups I described an autumn day as 'chilly'. How many other English words do you know which describe low temperatures? Use a good dictionary to help you distinguish between 'cool', 'chilly', 'chilled', 'cold' and 'icy' and then try the same activity with 'mild', 'warm', 'humid', 'hot' and 'heated'. Use each of these ten words to complete the sentences below. Use each word only once. a) Take care when driving because it's freezing and the roads are __________. b) We had some pleasantly unseasonable __________ weather in January this year. c) My new car has a __________ driver's seat which will be very welcome in the winter months. d) I'm very __________. I need a hot drink. e) You should always keep chocolate in a __________ place. f) Champagne should always be drunk __________. g) My room isn't __________ enough. Can you turn up the heating? h) Be careful not to burn your mouth, the coffee is very __________. i) If you want to grow tropical plants in a greenhouse you will need to keep the atmosphere very warm and __________. j) If you're feeling a bit __________ maybe you should put on an extra sweater. ANSWERS: a) icy; b) mild; c) heated; d) cold; e) cool; f) chilled; g) warm; h) hot; i) humid; j) chilly WRITE TO STEPHEN Thank you for sending your comments, this topic is now closed.
Kirsti, France I think my comment was lost as the comment system crashed. I had said 'Many happy returns', though it was already a bit late. And I mentioned that your age, Stephen, was no secret any longer, and that you were a mere stripling, compared to me.
Hana, Somalia Hi Stephen, it's my first time to write to you, but i always read your columns and i really enjoy the way you describe things, i hope someday i will write like that. Dear Stephen what should i do to be great writer pleas, thank you for your columns.

Andrea, Forlì, Italy Hi Stephen, this is my first time that I read your column and I like it very much. All the BBC learning web site is perfect for me. I was rushed into the hospital too, as your sister, at the end of August, because a very unbearable back pain. The CT scan showed a hernia between the 4th and the 5th vertebra. So I was admitted in the Neurosurgery unit for the operation. Now I feel very good, but I'll not play tennis, my favourite sport, for several months! It is not so big problem! Keep up your spirit! Best wishes!
Ruth ,China Dear Stephen this is a great morning for me ,because i learned a lots of useful words and sentence from your column.i feels very satisfied and happy,thank you Stephen.by the way this is my first time visit this blog.enjoy everyday!
Nour, Syria Hello Stephen, It's first time I write to you, but I used to purchase your columns, I'm happy that things ended up very well, I was so worried from the beginning about what will happen in the end. I'm sure that Lucy will be doing well. and I do wish you both best wishes
Adriana, Brazil Oh! Only now I see the comment I have written here isn't appearing. Sorry Stephen, it must be some technical problem because I've sent.Bye
Jake (Adana Turkey) I love the idea. This is a great thing. I head about what your were doing with this site from a student and have used your recent column in two private english lessons already. I wish you had a RSS feed for this site. I'd like to be alearted on my blog reader whenever you post a new column. BBC Learning English replies Hi Jake, Stephen's column is on RSS feed.
Viktor, Clorinda, Argentina Dear Stephen,It's the first time I read your column, and I liked it. Sorry about your break up and your sister. Hope you get well. I'd like to write more things but I'm in a cyber(=a place where you pay a fee to use a computer, that's how I study English) and I'm supposed to leave now. Anyway I'll be reading your column from now on. Cheers.
Víctor Dear Stephen,It's the first time I read your column, and I like it. Unfortunately I don't have a computer at home, so I can't read it regularly, but I printed this recent column and took it home, as I do with all the material I read on interent to improve my English. Sorry about your break up and your sister. I don't imagine how hard it is--I've never had a girlfriend;). But, as we say in my country, "al mal tiempo buena cara"; it's difficult to translate, I think an English equivalent may be "every cloud has a silver lining". Well, I won't tell you (yet)where I am from because there's a myth about the inhabitants of my country--they are impolite, and they swear every three words! I remember one of my teachers said, "never ever say you're from ..., you won't be welcomed"--that's unfair, every country has people like that and not every one is like that (certainly I'm not!). OK, I get to go now. Get well!
Dunia, Iraq Dear Mr. Stephen, This is my first comment on your article, your writing making us live your life and imagine the style of life in the other side of the world, please don't be sad we all pass through moments of pain but then we recover and continue our life with our believe in GOD and with hope we can skip the hard moment in our life, so keep writing your beautiful article to enable us learn more and more about English. I'm Iraqi citizen trying to escape from Iraq after improving my skills and acknowledgment. Wish you all the best.

Jill Huang, Beijing Hey hey hey, Stephen. Are you feeling better now? Does your sister recover now? I believe so. In the next blog, will you show us an optimistic, happy, humorous Stephen and a big smile? I'm looking forward. Last week, for me, was hard too. I was ill, a little bit serious. I didn't see a doctor, but took many kinds of different medicines. But now, everything returns to normal. I'm ok. Are you OK? You should remember we are all on your side. You are happy, so we are happy. You feel sad, then we feel the same. You have a huge fun club! Oh, please accept my late birthday greetings! Happy birthday to you~~~ it's late, but I know you won't mind. What a gorgeous daughter you have! :) How many wishes do you make on your birthday? Ok ok ok, I won't ask what they are. So, take it easy. Here comes the most important thing: congratulations to Lucy! Enjoy the upcoming university life! Stephen, cheer up! Take care and best wishes for Lucy's and your magic trip to Scotland. Waiting for more stories from you. Jill.

Richard, China I love your story, hopefully, I can study as if your students. I am really appericiating your writing style.I am lacking of writing. Sometimes I try to get some information from Internet, but I didn't to copy them. I do not know weather it's a good way to learn Enlish or not if you have any suggestions. One more question, do you know what kind of job should be fit a Chinese who is learning Enlish? Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!
Helen, Russia Hello, Stephen, it's first time I have read your blog, but cant help feeling that I have known you for a long time. Imagine, we have met in Russia - your name would have sounded like Stepan, by the way /second sillable is stressed/,and the girl - Lyusya, and the autumn, oh, it always sounds the same, drizzling in a whisper. Time to withdraw into ourselves? For a while, perhaps...
Emily,China Things always change nowadays,but don't mind them. Always look on the bright side of life,that's what we can do.And that will make our happier.
Leila, Iran Hi Stephen,It's been a while since I've been reading your blog. Very nice and exciting. I've lived in the UK for a couple of years and all those stuff you write, remind me the sweet memories that we've (my husband, my son & I) had back in England.So sorry for your break up and happy birthday! Carry on writing and make us feel we are still living in the rainy and cold autumn of the UK! (; Thanks v. much
Paola, Argentina Hi Stephen! This is my first message and I'm very happy...I wanted to say your column it´s great, I always enjoy reading it! The way you write, the words and useful expressions encourage me to keep improving my english every day. Thanks a lot. Bye, Paola:)
Klara, Hungary Hi Stephen! This is my first visit in this page...your story is so enjoyable! I was in England during last autumn and after reading the first pharagraph I just started to remember and, every words are true.However it is the nearly the same here now, but I'm still waiting for the indian summer.(Hope there will be!:-)Well, I keep reading your stories. Take care, and do not miss New York(too much:-)!Bye, Klara
Anja, France Giving you what I received from my friend from Califoria: "tough times never last, tough people do!"
Rachelle (Dubai, UAE) Dear Mr. Stephen,Hi! I'm new here... I just read your adventure and its really very interesting... I am not good in English so please forgive my grammar. I am really looking for something / any materials which could improve myself... And I think I have found your article! Thank you! I will keep on reading and learning from you! Keep it up!Rachelle
Mehmet Seyman, Turkey I have been looking for ages this kind of job. because of my poor English,when I read an article, I can't understand it very well. ı think your writing would be very useful and helpful who wants to improve their English. So thank you very much and appreciations everythink you have done for English learners. Best regards Mehmet.
Pinar Koc, Ankara, Turkey, Middleeast Hello to everyone, I came across this site while I was searching on the internet. It is very helpful for people who want to improve their English. I am going to follow the suggestions specified here. Very nice day to everyone....Pinar Koc (actually "i" written without a dot but well...)
Silwal Kishor, Nepal Hi Stephen, When I read your column, I can not stop reading whole material as soon as possible but I am really unlucky to do so in a single sitting. When I concentrate myself to read, I get disturbed by visitor or telephone ring. When I thoroughly read first paragraph I found sentence structure with simple present, present continuous, and present perfect continuous. As you mentioned, I could not find past simple and past simple in passive voice but I am able to find then in the second paragraph. Then in my mind, I get a doubt whether I am unable to distinguish the first and the second paragraph. I found your column really helpful to learn English word, phrase and idioms in interesting manner. I expect such type of material again and again.
Maria, Pakistan Hello, I read your column for the first time, your expression is warm and lively. I enjoyed. I like the way people use words to express themselves, I'm into English literature by the way.Regards.
Hyoshil, Lincoln, UK Ou! Stephen, I think you have been some disastrous days. I am really sorry for your broken relationship with your ex-girlfriend and your credit card statement. I am waiting for my credit card statement and thinking of it makes me trembling because I've been to Korea for 6 weeks and I just only guess how much will be. I am so happy for LUCY and you and of couse your sister, too. I hope your sister is better soon. Good luck to Lucy for a new life in Scotland! Do you feel your baby is leaving you?
Marianna, Slovakia Hi! I want to reasure Lucy, the beautiful young lady, about taking long a suspicion which Addeax specified well recently. And, since I have been playing a game for months I continue. Believe me or not the day of your birthday was a day of my forname in our calendar. You may be aware of the tradition in my country (in Czech rep. too) that our first names are on a particular fixed day in the calendar. When it comes the Datum with your forname below it, we celebrate then at work, with family or friends. Last week there was my name, too, which I forgot completely.(My nephewes are away with another names in their heads or harts!) The day I switched on the computer at work, opened a page with my newspaper and searching acros the news, in the space with blogs, I registered a title ´Marianne´. I knew the name of the blogger. Actually, his appearance suggests a monster the best. He is the wellknown political commentator and an university teacher. I opened the article and read the breathtaking stunning love letter which you would hardly ever read in a book! It seemed to be written VERY personally to some real but unknown woman who by the merest chance was holding my name. You can imagine that below this article some commentators wrote such words as...´he had to get completely mad´..or´I had to shot my insuline dose´..and so on. This is the true story, but there didn´t appear my two words ´Thank you´ below the blog, because I wasn´t able to get through the applying procedure... Don´t be sad, the fall is the best for reading, walking and more learning! Good luck for all of you!

Death By Blackberry

I have reached a new low, a new pathetic nap in the gutter of fandom and the means by which I'm forced to watch/listen to/track my Wings. As some of you know, I restlessly bide my days in DC waiting for Mrs. IwoCPO and the brood to head north from The State That Hockey Forgot, or Forgot Hockey, or whatever.

Are You Well Enough To Watch?

Bubba doesn't feel well. He's got the flu, a broken foot, an upper body issue and a back thing going on. But he's the picture of health compared to the Wings.
Injuries: Detroit—Tomas Holmstrom (upper body), G Dominik Hasek (thigh), F Todd Bertuzzi (back), F Henrik Zetterberg (back), F Dan Cleary (knee), F Mikael Samuelsson (foot), F Tomas Kopecky (collarbone), out.
Nashville—F David Legwand (upper body), F Jason Arnott (flu-like symptoms), probable; F Peter Forsberg (upper body), doubtful; F Steve Sullivan (back), F Scott Hartnell (foot), out.
Can you recall a game this allegedly important with such a rash of injuries? Me either.

Myself Is Conflicted

Did a little research last night after the game, wondering if my suspicions were correct. What suspicions, you ask? Well, I was under the impression the Wings had lost 611 consecutive OT games. Apparently I was wrong. They've won 11 out of their last 39. So that's better.
But am I the only one? Am I isolated in my sadness when they're tied at the end of regulation? My wife watched the whole game with me then left the room without saying a word as soon as overtime started. She knew.

Poisoning The Room?

Steve Simmons knows Detroit hockey almost as well as Andy Strickland or Mitch Albom.
First the Detroit Red Wings tried to get Owen Nolan. Then they traded for Todd Bertuzzi. Apparently, their goal is to determine how quickly they can poison their environment.
Yeah, because the Wings have a long history of disgruntled players in the room. Of all the concerns out there regarding Bertuzzi, disharmony is the least of them.
As for Nolan? I suppose because the Leafs had issues with him, and vice versa, that means every other team would too? That, my friends, is a stretch.
Thanks to Lindy at Red Wings Central for the pointer.

Unleash Bertuzzi

The day after the deadline we saw the predictable column of outrage from the Delicate Genius, Mitch Albom. It was precisely the formula he's followed the last five years: ignore the Wings until an event occurs that makes it impossible not to write something, anything; then scribble out a few paragraphs with no original thought, and certainly nothing that would require a trip to the Joe.

Khan(!): Hasek Out Sunday, Chelios Possible

According to the DD Captain,
Dominik Hasek came in for treatment on his sore thigh but did not go on the ice and won't dress for Sunday's game vs. Colorado, as Chris Osgood gets his second straight start. Chris Chelios (groin) said he thinks he'll be able to play, but coach Mike Babcock said it would be a game-time decision.

A Rudderless Ship

Longtime poster from MLive, RWBill, has begun a thread over at the Godfather's Message Board on the league's unwillingness to address the number of shots to the head.
The NHL front office is surely the biggest collection of cowards in a professional league as this great Hockey Ship careens rudderless in stormy waters. We're all on board watching in horror with no way to right the ship while Captain Bettman is locked in his quarters playing backgammon with no concern for the welfare of the crew. Concussions and injuries requiring hospitalization continue to pile up without so much as a peep from the NHL.

I think it sucks. I think Edmonton trading Ryan (Jason, Smith, Smyth) sucks and sucks hard whether you're an Oiler fan or not. Not to belabor a point that's already been made (because I NEVER belabor, right?), but how much should one fan base have to put up with? How many Weights, Guerins, Josephs, Prongers and now Smyth (Smiths) do they have to lose?
I turn to BOA for their latest reaction and mystification at their own Deep Diggers.

The Importance of Getting It

Hot Damn. It's about time Jason Williams returned to form. We're going to need a little production from him as the playoffs get closer, especially with all those injuries.
What? Oh. My bad.
Funniest Babcock quote of the year (not written by me)? This one may be up there.
Williams, traded to the Blackhawks on Monday for Calder, scored both goals for Chicago. His short-handed effort on a breakaway at 11:15 of the second period cut Detroit's lead to 4-1. He added a power-play goal at 2:46 of the third.
"It's good to see him score, too," Babcock said of Williams. "What the heck."

Featured SecretI have recently started walking a mile and a half or more Monday through Friday during my lunch with a co-worker. This has really seemed to help. Browse All SecretsWhen I want to eat something I don't need, usually a Snickers, I grab my belly fat. I reminds me that I already have a Snickers in storage. The Skinny Shopping list...foods to always have on hand Apples, BlueBerries & Strawberries, Mushrooms, carrots Cucumber, celery, Grapefruit, oatmeal & grits, Shredded Wheat Cereal, Garbanzo & kidney beans, diced tomatoes, ground turkey, turkey breast, chicken legs,1 beef shank to make soup and cabbage, Ham Chunks, skim milk & Greek plain 9% Fage yogurt, lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, frozen broccoli, Nature's Own Honey Wheat Bread, Munster Cheese, Bordens Fat Free American Cheese, Brown rice, wild rice, Dreamfield's Pasta, canned tuna, spinach, bananas Planning meals & eating more frequently It has really helped me to plan my meals in advance and pack food to being with me to work. I eat 4 - 6 smaller meals thoughout the day rather than just a big lunch and dinner. The benefits? More control with my bs & successful weightloss! I keep a chain of paper clips next to my computer monitor at work. Each paper clip represents one pound lost. They are always front and center to help keep me motivated. I remember to say "No thank you" to the office doughnuts. When I asked a young woman who had lost 200 pounds how she did it, she said that she treated weight loss like a job. No matter how she felt, she showed up. She showed up at the grocery store to buy the right food, she showed up to track her food, she showed up to walk, etc.
To get over the plateau and keep your metabolism reved up. Figure out what you are hungry for - it might not be food
Hunger isn't necessarily for food! Kefir is a great source of minerals like calcium & magnesium, & phosphorus, which helps the body utilize carbs, fats and proteins for cell growth, maintenance & energy. You can try Kefir over fruit or cereal, in your morning smoothie, or straight from the bottle..there is even Frozen Kefir. Kefir contains different types of beneficial bacteria than does yogurt, but tastes almost the same....it is also easier to digest and helps with fatigue. Has vitamins and minerals,protein..a good probiotic. Healthy options means making healthy choices My downfall is potato chips, crackers and chocolate. I love these! Of course, the sugar and salt don't contribute to healthy eating. The other day, I bought some "baked" potato chips that were low in fat. As I sat eating them, I read the label. Yuck - that was enough to say no to even this supposedly healthy option. My secret - don't buy them and bring them in my house to tempt me. Making healthy choices means having healthy options.
I found a site with 65 facts about diabetes related problems an facts. Interesting and a must read for those really concerned about their health. May help scare anyone into staying on track. |

It requires several coats and it is tricky to get it on without the streaking, took a little practice. Didn't last though. After only two days big BIG pieces started chipping off. Now I'm finding the bad part about putting all those coats on to make it not look streaky is it's really difficult to get it off. It chips off but is difficult to get all of it off even with using acetone polish remover and soaking which then makes the nail dry out! So now I have little pieces that will not come off on just about every toe! Chipping after just two days along with this much trouble getting it off makes it not worth the $9 purchase price!!
Smells and acts like super glue. Dreadful to apply. Streaky and extremely hard to remove. Threw it away after two uses.

The contributions of larval growth and pupal duration to protandry in the black swallowtail butterfly, Papilio polyxenes

Get AccessSummary
Shorter male larval and pupal durations were sufficient to produce the protandrous emergence pattern of the black swallowtail butterfly. In 9 broods observed under natural conditions, the first male was seen 7.1±6.5 days before the first female, although the peak of captures relative to the first capture was similar in both sexes. The field data supported only weakly the predictions of the Wiklund-Fagerstrom model for protandry. Some prereproductive period was necessary for males, and they were limited in how frequently they could mate. A third of the females mated more than once.
Males were significantly smaller in size and weight than females in both diapausing and non-diapausing broods. Feeding experiments indicated that male larvae ate less and converted their food into biomass more efficiently than females. Female pupae contained higher proportions of fat and protein than male pupae. Differential body composition may be involved in sexual dimorphism differences in both larval and pual developmental rates. Thus, in addition to size, chemical differences in composition or metabolism may contribute to the observed natural protandry.
