Long story about the original Bernie Brewer.
My QUESTION is - how can a bad batch cause death.
the story is that in 1970 Milt Mason (69) said he would sit in a chalet on top of Milwaukee Brewers Stadium until the Brewers had a game with 40,000 figuring it would take 1 or 2 weeks.
40 days later the Brew Crew hit 40,000.
He slid down rope causing massive rope burns on hands and legs and then dropped the last 15 feet breaking a dozen bones.
The Milwaukee Brewers gave him a life time supply of beer.
In 1973 he died from a bad batch.
WHAT would cause this. I've looked for news stories on this but find nothing about the death.
Grinders Island Brewery - Pipeline
Bottled! Award winning East India Porter, Oatmeal Stout, Milk Stout, Saison fermenting at a nice controlled 85 degrees (up from 70) as it should be - weird isn't it.
Lemme see if I got this straight...
He wins a LIFETIME supply of beer, and then mysteriously has a very short LIFETIME???
Conspiracy if you ask me.
[QUOTE]Poison in a tainted batch[/QUOTE
I think that classifies as a bad batch.
but who/what - was it on purpose?? People here this and think a tainted(bad) batch of Home Brew can kill them.
Since google basically turned up the same info one each site, almost verbatum, we're talking repeated urban legend...More than likely it never happened...He more than likely died of liver failure/ALCOHOL POISONING from drinking a lifetime supply of beer in one sitting.....
It's kinda like the hops and dogs thing...every warning is cut and pasted from ONE source...no one has bothered to re-write the damn thing...more than likely it's just a colorful urban legend, with little basis in fact (the part about how he died I mean)....
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
It could have been something on the can that got him sick. We put our lips right on the can that we have no idea where it has been. A big rat could have peed on it yesterday at the warehouse. That can't be healthy.
At that age any small amount of kritters could overpower the immune system and kill him when most might just think they have gas.
Yea - I have been googeling for a week and find the exact same words over and over.
I can not think of ANYTHING that would kill someone or even make them sick especially from Milwaukee which is big on beer.
liver failure/ALCOHOL POISONING seems to be the reason.
If it were during prohibition I would say some counterfit "beer" was passed on to him, but according to your initial post It was in the 70's that this had happened...if there was deadly batches of beer on the market there would have been massive recalls...in other words there would have been info outside of the legend to corroborate this story....we're talking my lifetime here....I remember the tylenol scare, I remember the PCB scare in the 70's where mass quantities of animals were killed to keep it out of the food chain....There was no "bad batch of deadly beer" scare that I remember....
Which means more than likely either he was murdered via poisoned beer...or Like I said...Liver failure...
It's funny how things like urban legends get repeated over and over without anyone thinking logically...I mean...1970 was NOT a period in antiquity...It's in many of our lifetimes...

The Connection
March 26
March 26th. 7:00pm
Sorry, This event is SOLD OUT.
The Connection is a film about how frontier research is proving that there is a direct connection between your mind and your health. The film features scientists, researchers, writers and doctors, as well as remarkable true stories of people adding mind body medicine to their healing toolkit to recover from severe back pain, heart disease, infertility, cancer and multiple sclerosis. While the science is complex, the solutions for people suffering with illness are astonishingly simple. The film shows that we can counter the harmful affects of stress with an equally powerful relaxation response triggered through specific techniques such as meditation. It shows that emotions can impact the course of an illness for better or for worse and could even be the difference between life and death. The film explains the mechanisms behind belief, which scientists now know contributes 30 to 50 percent of the effect of any known biological cure and explores how scientists at the cutting edge are now learning that the mind can even influence the expression of genes and the rate at which we age.

Wings of Life - A Screening Celebrating Pollinator Week
June 19
June 19th. 7:00
From Disneynature, the studio that brought you "Earth," "Oceans," "African Cats" and "Chimpanzee," comes "Wings of Life" - a stunning adventure full of intrigue, drama and mesmerizing beauty. Narrated by Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, this intimate and unprecedented look at butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, bats and flowers is a celebration of life, as a third of the world's food supply depends on these incredible--and increasingly threatened - creatures.
Bee City USA Hosts Pollination Celebration!: Leader of National USDA Bee Lab Is Keynote Speaker
Marking its second anniversary, Bee City USA announced that Dr. Jeff Pettis, lead scientist at the USDA Bee Research Lab in Beltsville, MD, will be the keynote presenter for this year's Pollination Celebration!, underwritten by Tupelo Honey and Ingles Markets. On Tuesday June 17, Dr. Pettis will address area beekeepers on "Challenges for Today's Beekeepers" at the Mountain Horticulture Crops Research and Extension Center in Mills River. On Wednesday, June 18, his topic is "Give Bees a Chance: The Pollination Puzzle" presented at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Asheville.
If you want to go:
Tuesday, June 17: "Challenges for Today's Beekeepers:
Pettis will share his research exploring the role of pesticides in colony and queen health and the reasons for rapid queen failure; testing for interactions between, viruses, Nosema and pesticide exposure; and, exploring the role of diverse bee forage on colony health.
Mountain Horticulture Crops Research and Extension Center in Mills River, NC
Reception: 6:30; Program: 7:00
Co-hosted by the Henderson County Beekeepers

Wednesday, June 18: Give Bees a Chance: The Pollination Puzzle"
A special event geared for a general public audience, and designed to provoke questions, conversation, and possible answers. Honey from invasive plants, kudzu and Japanese knotweed, will be available for tasting.
Unitarian Universalist Church of Asheville (corner of Edwin and Charlotte)
Silent Auction, Exhibit, Reception at 6:00; Program at 7:00
$10 Suggested Donation
The puzzle: how to pull back from what Dr. Pettis called a "turning point" (TIME cover story Aug 2013) and still feed the millions (billions?) of people whose lives depends on the food? How to provide pollination services for millions of acres of fruits, vegetables and seed crops that are increasing every year with an ever decreasing supply of honey bees (and native bees) and commercial beekeepers. How can all of us, every single one of us, see the ways that we may be inadvertently contributing to this dilemma and then discover the endless possibilities--tiny and large--to contribute to and participate in the solutions?
Other Pollination Celebration! events include art exhibits about pollinators at Blue Spiral 1 and K2 Studio, Asheville GreenWorks Father's Day Garden + Pollinator Tour, a world honey tasting at Asheville Bee Charmer, the Wings of Life documentary at Fine Arts Theatre and, for children, monarch rescue and pollinator walk programs.
Join us to learn how insects vital to our health, face unprecedented challenges to their health. For information about these events, or to learn how to become a Bee City USA, visit beecityusa.org
Bee City USA urges municipalities, individuals, organizations, corporations, and communities to plant for the pollinators and avoid or minimize pesticide use. When Asheville, North Carolina, became the first Bee City USA designee in June 2012, the City Council committed to participate in an annual celebration, ideally during National Pollinator Week.

"It's not a way of making a living, it's a way of making a life."
This film examines the life and philosophy of an acclaimed artist who, for the last 40 years, has chosen not to sell his work.
Paulus Berensohn was born to Jewish émigré parents in Brooklyn NY and, despite family opposition, became a dancer who studied with greats Merce Cunningham and Martha Graham and appeared in major Broadway productions.
Then Paulus found clay, and has spent the past forty-five years discovering his relationship with this living substance. Along the way he has taught countless workshops at Penland School of Crafts and numerous other places both nationally and internationally.
In the film he discusses his life, philosophy, views on the art world and his fairy godchildren, his love of movement and ongoing practice of Qigong and the Alexander Technique, and death and dying.
British reviewer Keith Howes wrote: "See this film, breathe it in, use it as a journal, a way of moving forward. Paulus believes that "Everybody is an artist", whether that art is embodied in decorating an envelope or creating a miracle on a potter's wheel. This elegant, endlessly insightful film is a call to touch, to feel to enrich our world from a universal palette."

Sign Painters
June 13, 2013
June 13, 7:00 pm
Presented by The Center for Craft Creativity and Design
There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade.
In 2010 filmmakers Faythe Levine and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features the stories of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. The documentary and book profiles sign painters young and old, from the new vanguard working solo to collaborative shops such as San Francisco's New Bohemia Signs and New York's Colossal Media's Sky High Murals.

20,000 Days on Earth
October 23
October 23 - 7:00
One Night Only!
"This day is both more real and less real, more true and less true, more interesting and less interesting than my actual day, depending on how you look at it" – Nick Cave
Drama and reality combine in a fictitious 24 hours in the life of musician and international cultural icon Nick Cave. The film is an intimate portrait of the artistic process, celebrating the transformative power of the creative spirit.
Cave says, of first-time feature directors Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard; "I've always liked their unorthodox approach to things and on a personal level we have always gotten on very well. I invited them in to film some promotional footage for the new record. In the end, the footage was so compelling we decided to expand the idea."
20,000 Days On Earth takes us deep into the heart of how myth, memory, love and loss, shape our lives, every single day. A line in Cave's songwriting notebook calculating how many days he'd been alive inspired the film's title. The film delves into Nick's artistic processes, unpicking the stuff that makes him tick. Fusing drama and documentary to weave a cinematic day-in-the-life with unique verité observations of his full creative cycle.
We meet those who have affected his life, including regular musical-collaborator Warren Ellis; actor and friend Ray Winstone; former Bad Seed Blixa Bargeld; and Kylie Minogue, with whom Cave duetted on Where The Wild Roses Grow.
Cave comments, "I hadn't really seen Blixa for some years before I sat in the car with him and we started talking. I had never asked him why he had left the Bad Seeds, for example. Kylie was similar. These scenes just found their own dramatic tension. In the Kylie scene there is something rather lovely going on as we can't see each other's expressions but the camera can."
We also witness Cave open up to psychoanalyst Darian Leader as he discusses how his early years continue to inform his work. Later, we join him on a journey through his personal archives.
"During the archive section, I just sat there for a couple of days and looked at photos and talked about them and largely forgot about the cameras and you can see that in the relaxed nature of these scenes", Cave remembers.
It is this archive that would go on to inspire the film's digital partner project, the Museum of Important Shit.
20,000 Days on Earth premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the World Cinema Documentary awards for for directing and editing.

Reiki Energy International hosts open house April 21
Staff Report
Reiki Energy International will hold an open house from 6 to 9 p.m., Thursday, April 21, at Community of Christ Church, 6103 Forest Hills Road, Rockford. The event will celebrate the group's second anniversary as a 501(c)(3) public charity.
Reiki is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui that uses palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative medicine. Through the use of this technique, practitioners transfer healing energy in the form of "ki" through the palms.
The April 21 informational and social gathering will explain and demonstrate the group's focus of "Advancing the Use of Reiki Energy Healing." The informal gathering is open to anyone and will include educating the public about Reiki and free treatments. Light snacks and soft drinks will be provided.
The purpose of the organization is to provide leadership and growth for the advancement of Reiki and encourage greater awareness of Reiki through volunteer community service.
Reiki Energy International utilizes the Usui System of Reiki Energy while offering educational and social opportunities to new and existing members.
Current members include Reiki Master Teachers (RMT) and Reiki practitioners in the northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin areas as well as from other areas in the United States and foreign countries. This core group has established membership guidelines and group goals that include performing community outreach and creating awareness of Reiki.
Other REI group activities include: holding monthly organization meetings; holding regular Reiki share sessions open to the public; creating opportunities for social gatherings and networking; generating public awareness through trade shows and special events; providing Reiki energy work opportunities for those who can't afford them; and distributing information through the REI website at reikienergyinternational.com.
Membership is open to documented Reiki practitioners. Membership opportunities will be offered at the open house.
Meetings and member activities are held at Community of Christ Church on the first Thursday of each month. Free treatments to the public are given every Monday from 6 to 9 p.m., and the third Thursday of each month from 6 to 9 p.m. at the church.
REI also holds an annual REI Health Fair & Expo each summer. This year's event will be July 9 at the Clock Tower Resort from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The group accepts tax-deductible contributions. For more information, call (815) 398-6326.

Now firmly cemented as one of the staple tracks in the Dirtyphonics discography, "Hanging On Me" made headlines earlier in 2013 for its huge dubstep sound. Now a number of versatile artists have lent their hands to remix this dancefloor devastator into wholly different creations.buy alprazolam no prescription
Borgore and Ookay teamed up for their remix of "Hanging On Me", bringing together two different genres into one tight package. The first drop in this track leans on devastating hardstyle sounds with its snapping kicks. The second drop however will surely leave crowds surprised, as it breaks into a full trap workout. The Kastle remix goes into a polar opposite direction. Pulling off the fresh new remixed sound seamlessly, the Kastle remix is proper 2-step garage. This track fits perfectly into club sets, with its warm lead sounds and triplet sections, all whilst keeping Liela Moss's vocals intact. Finally, the Slogun & iOh remix turns "Hanging On Me" into the drum & bass we know and love. A sizable reworking of the original track's synths turns this remix into a break-beaten killer track for the D&B massive.buy xanax online no prescription

Episode 506: I Dream of Janie -- Or, It's Not Over Till The Vodka Bottle Sings
by Barbara Lippert on Apr 24, 5:43 PM
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold. Boy, was that William Butler Yeats guy onto Matt Weiner! Yeats' description of a world gone mad, with the beast slouching toward Bethlehem, was in answer to the near-apocalypse of World War I. In this episode, there are "Sopranos"-ish flashbacks and Tarantino-like screwings with chronology. They're weird and jumpy but somehow work, when dealing with the dropping of beans, acid, and fecal bombs.

Episode 505: 'Signal 30': Fixing the Drip, Or The Punishment Of The X-Y (Gene)
by Barbara Lippert on Apr 17, 8:57 PM
You have to admit that the announcement "He was caught with chewing gum on the pubis!" is a new one, a big surprise no matter what you think of the season so far. Don had earlier suggested that you'd need a cold shower after driving the new Jaguar. But who could possibly come up with a fix for that post-wad-o'-Doublemint predicament?

Episode 503: Strange Bedfellows, Sleepus Interruptus, and Tales of Sterling, Cooper, Draper, & Grimm!
by Barbara Lippert on Apr 10, 5:35 PM
Wow! I thought "Mystery Date" was easily the best (if the most visceral, violent and upsetting) episode this season so far. "Haunting" just doesn't cover it. As with the symbolic landscape in such fairy tales as Hansel & Gretel, or Little Red Riding Hood, the woods are scary, dark and deep. And Don had miles to go before he slept -- and/or strangled someone, whichever came first.

Episode 502: 'Tea Leaves,' -- Or, Requiem For A Heavyweight
by Barbara Lippert on Apr 3, 6:34 PM
To paraphrase Allen Ginsberg's "Howl," I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, and/or fat suits so grotesque that their characters turn into the Macy's-Parade-balloon version of themselves. That's certainly true for Betty, the former Mrs. Draper, who was never a great mind, to be sure, but managed always to hold on to her huge beauty and Grace Kelly-like style. And since John Hamm (who plays her ex, Don Draper) directed this episode, I'd say that while they are divorced in their fictional roles, there's also perhaps some previously undiagnosed tension in their offscreen ...

If your idea of nightlife includes hitting a bar for drinks and socializing, then our Miami guide is just what you want. Capitalizing on first-hand experience and extensive research, we've located the best bars in Miami for hanging out and kicking back in. From long-lived mainstays like Mac's Club Deuce to busy places like Wet Willie's that get lots of 10Best reader approval, we present the top bars in town and offer details about them all. What's the energy like? How do the bartenders pour? Are most bars located in the South Beach area? No fear - we share all the facts!
10 Bardot
Live music, album/CD release parties, DJ bashes and other activities of a musical nature await at this hip Wynwood lounge. Bardot fills a void in Miami culture by providing the venue and the menu, which includes funk, electronic, blues, singer-songwriter and more. Cocktails--at $12, less expensive than most South Beach bars and lounges (that means affordable by Miami standards) range from the signature Honey Mule (Russian Standard Vodka, Honey Syrup, Pressed Lime & Hand Crafted Ginger Served in our Signature Copper Mug) to the Skinny Jeans Margarita (Corzo Silver Tequila, Cointreau, Organic Blue Agave & Fresh Lime Juice) to the simple Brown Sugar Mojito (Bacardi dark, Brown Sugar). Top-shelf liquors abound. Overall, even if you're not into the vibe of a particular musical guest, the experience at Bardot has come to define Miami's Wynwood and Design District nightlife. ((305) 576-5570)
9 RSMAS Wetlab
Boasting beachfront views and cheap beer, the Wetlab is one of the most unique and well-loved bars in Miami. Embedded in the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, the bar has a charming school cafeteria feel and a patio offering beautiful views of Biscayne Bay. At the graduate student-run watering hole, beers are priced less than $3, and it's just $9 for a pitcher. Mixed drinks range from $2.75 to $4.25.
8 Scully's Tavern
This relaxed neighborhood tavern offers lots of fun and great deals that make it a hit among a diverse range of locals. Perhaps the biggest draw is the live music that is featured on weekends. Top rock and alternative bands from around the region often play to a packed house. For football games, particularly if the Dolphins are playing, this is one of the best places to be, with rowdy crowds coming in for great deals on drinks and food. Happy hour at Scully's is known for its extensive free buffet, though a full menu is also available. (305-271-7404)
7 Wet Willie's
You know what you are in for as soon as you hear the name of this bar's most popular drink — the Call A Cab. Just about every alcoholic beverage is combined in this fruity concoction that often lives up to its name. There is a long list of sweet, slushy drinks, but they are far more potent than they appear. The lively crowd is diverse and friendly, and the view from the second-floor patio is one of the best. Grab a coveted spot here and watch the ocean and the action on Ocean Drive. ATM machines on the premises. (305-532-5650)
6 Clarke's
For Miami Beach visitors, this bar's casual coastal atmosphere and menu full of comfort food promise a fun and relaxing evening out. Clarke's wooden decor, low lighting, extensive wine list and variety of draft beers, including Guinness, Stella Artois, Harp and Yuengling, give the bar a comfortable Old World feel. The menu consists of regional American favorites, as well as traditional Irish pub fare like bangers and mash, shepherd's pie and corned beef and cabbage. (305-538-9885)
5 Botequim Carioca Brazilian Bar & Grill
What could be better than a Brazilian sports bar, located almost directly across from American Airlines Arena? Stop in before or after a Heat game for a terrific steak sandwich, made with sirloin and cheddar cheese (but called a cheeseburger de picanha) or the house special chicken sandwich with mozzarella and dried tomatoes. Tasty apps that go great with beer include spicy calamari or a bowl of feijoada, served as soup. For a light, sophisticated sweet, try the "Romeo E Julieta" guava jam with catupiry cheese. Then watch a futbol game on tv or a basketball in person, and watch other athletes burn calories; after all, you stay svelte by cheering. Just beware, during Brazilian national games, of the clamor of the vuvuzuela. (305-675-1876)
4 Globe Café & Bar
Coral Gables' answer to the South Beach crush, this popular cafe is a veritable magnet for upscale young professionals on weekday evenings. The work day done, they gather for intriguing cocktails and socializing, eager to slough off the cares of necessity — after a quick stop-off at home to freshen up, of course. If food's in order, the menu offers appetizers, pastas, seafood, steaks and sandwiches. Live jazz adds to the ambience, and on Friday nights, the party even spills out into the streets — with police approval. Should you desire a VIP experience, the elegant Black Room is a members-only refuge. (305-445-3555)
3 Zeke's Roadhouse
Beer aficionados find this Miami Beach bar's selection to one of the best. The impressive spread includes beers from all over the world, even unusual options such as Cristal from Peru, 33 Export from Vietnam and Prestige from Haiti. Most of these thirst-quenching brews come in bottles, but the bar does offer several drafts, including Purple Haze and Young's Chocolate Stout. Although Zeke's only accepts cash, all beers are reasonably priced at $4. (305-672-3118)
2 Mac's Club Deuce
Mac's is fondly known as South Beach's premier dive bar. Barflies, trendy types, and drag queens mix and mingle at this simple nightspot, where rock and roll on the jukebox provides the only entertainment — other than people-watching, which is endlessly entertaining here. Casual wear is recommended, but people show up in all manner of attire, from cutoffs to cocktail dresses. Another claim to fame at Mac's is the cheapest beer in South Beach, served to you with no frills in a basic plastic cup. The consummate seediness of the bar has made it a favorite with those from all walks of life. Smoking permitted at the bar. (305-531-6200)
1 Fox's Sherron Inn
Take a step back in time at this appealingly nostalgic bar that still looks much like it did back in 1946. The interior may be slightly worn from more than 50 years of business, but that simply adds to the laid-back charm of the place. Locals love to meet here for martinis and conversation, with classics by Sinatra and friends playing on the well-stocked jukebox. Bargain-hunting bar-lovers will appreciate the frequent two-for-one drink specials. Fox's is also known for great pub grub, from French dips to burgers. (305-666-2230)

Who Really Started This Kinky Madness in Hotel Rooms? Here's Who
It's time for a (romantic) walk down memory lane with a HotelChatter flashback!
Last week, we were embarrassed by certain hotels who had released eye-rolling, groan-inducing (not the good kind) 50 Shades of Grey-themed packages. To be clear, we weren't embarrassed because we're prudish people, but rather, the grab (again, not the good kind) for guests was obvious, uninspired, unsexy and just silly.
But a longtime reader reminded us that hotels were not always pushing serious sexytime in their packages or in their minibars. (Henry Blodget, this sexy history lesson is for you!)
Remember how daring it was when the Bryant Park Hotel in NYC partnered up with The Pleasure Chest in mid-2007? Guests could order their toys from The Pleasure Chest directly through the hotel by dialing zero on the room phone. Later, a discreet grey box would arrive in their room with the item or items the guests purchased. (Coincidentally, the Bryant Park Hotel first opened its doors on Valentine's Day in 2001.)

Luxe, Cheap and Bad Romance: 3 V-Day Packages We Would Totally Do
Hotels aren't very creative when it comes to Valentine's Day unless there's a kinky movie tie-in, but even then, the offerings end up being more embarrassing than romantic. So when we see romance packages that we like, it's a rare thing. And of course, we're going to tell you all about it.
InterContinental Los Angeles has put together an over-the-top hotel package that includes something we actually really like--a private outdoor screening of a movie of your choice. Check out the set-up! The hotel could almost offer this as an a la carte offering, for those not flush enough to book the whole romantic package.
Speaking of the whole package, it's priced at $14,000, also includes two-night accommodations in the Royal Suite with views of the Hollywood Hills, a chilled bottle of Veuve Clicquot la Grade Dame 1998 and chocolate-dipped strawberries; a private five-course dinner for two in the Grand Salon Ballroom, adorned with candles, flowers and dim red lighting from overhead LEDs, a private piano performance during dessert, a spa treatment for two in a couples' villa at Spa InterContinental, and a round-trip chauffer service in a Rolls Royce, provided by Black & White car rental, up the PCH to Malibu Wines, where couples will enjoy a day of sipping and relaxing and leave with a bottle from their selection of award-winning labels.
But hurry, the package needs to be booked today for stays this weekend. Call 310-284-6500 for more information.

50 Shades of Red: Embarrassing Hotel Packages Tied Into The Kinky Movie Release
We curse the persons who decided to release the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie on Valentine's Day Weekend. Because that means not only is our inbox overflowing with the usual schmaltzy hotel romance packages, we are now getting deluged with FSOG-themed hotel packages, promising some sort of "kinky" aspect to the hotel stay.
Despite our initial desire to quickly delete the packages (sorry, but we still haven't recovered from the hotel packages tied in with the book back in 2012), we've since had a change of libido and thought it would be fun for you to see these packages for your own entertainment.
Just a note: we've kept the hotels "blindfolded" so to speak so that they won't feel embarrassed about their spanking. (Of course, you can always Google the package to find out which hotel it is.)
And just so you know, the only acceptable hotels to role-play Christian Grey and Ana Steele is the Heathman Hotel in Portland, which was actually mentioned in the book. (Can't make it to the hotel? Um, maybe buy a pillow then?) along with the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver whose wood paneled Lieutenant Governor's suite is featured in the movie. (Rates of the suite start at $1,199 a night. No toys included.)

Introducing The Foxy Men Of Moxy Milan
Because who doesn't love a man who irons?
There was one thing that really stood out for us when we stayed at Moxy Milan last week. A free-flow work-eat-drink-socialize space? Nope. A surfeit of millennials selfie-ing their way around said work-eat-drink-socialize space? Nah – although it made a lovely change not to be the only one obsessively photographing every single yoghurt in the to-go fridge.
No, it was the men. Sexy, semi-naked men. Tattooed, ripped, even dressed – man flesh at every turn. Behold!
A shirtless man on the room key:
A shirtless tattooed man in the ironing room (no, those abs aren't making you see double, he was on the inside and outside wall – and the outside one was more graphic #boxers):

Let Sanctum Soho Set Up a Dirty Hotel Stay for You
Planning a dirty weekend in London? We've already declared the rooms at the Sanctum Soho to be among the Sexiest hotel Rooms Alive! but, look out, the hotel's BXG Suite aka room 404, is possibly now the sexiest of the sexy after teaming up with luxury erotic specialists, Box Of Grey.
The suite is decorated with "voyeuristic" images of models Jenny Goodall and Tessa Kuragi by photographer Ray Burmiston and, if you pay Ł350 extra (on top of Junior Suite rates that start at $620) , comes with a "Bijoux Sanctum" flight case filled with restraints, a BXG leather mask, grey tie, Lelo Whip, feather, latex Bondage Bow and bullet vibrator.

Is This Really The World's Sexiest Hotel Room?
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (of the boutique hotel guide, not the Brangelina movie) recently celebrated their ten-year anniversary by handing out their Smith Awards at a packed out event on London's Brick Lane. Among the various categories was "Sexiest Hotel Room", an award that was taken home by one of the first high-style, design-led hotels of the city: Blakes London, specifically for its Corfu Suite.
Watching the count down from 10 to runner up had us wondering whether we agreed with the result. Was this the sexiest hotel room? What would be our pick, and why? And what would you, dear reader, think?

SuperClubs Strips Ties With Hedonism II
SuperClubs has removed the clothing-optional, adults-only Hedonism II Jamaican resort from its dossier of all-inclusive properties. This comes after it unloaded unprofitable sister resort Hedonism III in 2011 and in earlier 2012 sold Breezes Trelawny to a Canadian tour company called Sunwing. Breezes Montego Bay was also let go in 2009.
The company recently announced that the sale of the Negril hotel has finally been completed to an investment group named Marshmallow Ltd., headed by financier Harry Lange, and made up of partners Jon Gross of UnWind Travel (aka Fluffernutters), some of SuperClubs' own chairman's family members, and Kevin Levee, the hotel's current general manager.
The sale will not change Hedonism's name, however, a $10 million room renovation is planned, which will certainly be welcome for the 30-year old hotel.
More importantly, what will remain the same will be the resort's day-to-day operations, which include saucy, devil-may-care fun that its patrons, often repeat guests, relish.

3 Hotel Suggestions For Newly-Made Porn Star Mom Nadya Suleman
The world cringed in horror this weekend as Nadya Suleman made the weird jump from eccentric, attention-seeking mother of fourteen children to porn star. TMZ reported that Octomom showed up to do her first video shoot at a mansion in San Fernando Valley, and actually did a pretty good job. Great.
Now that she's elevated herself into the lucrative (we hope) world of doin' it in front of the camera, a plain old hotel stay has the potential for so much more. So without further ado, here are a few places that might better suit her...purposes.
Photo booths are always a fun way to lighten the mood in any hotel lobby or bar, and in Suleman's case, could be a great money-saver if she ever needs to "rehearse" for her next shoot. Photos taken at The Shore Hotel's digital photo booth can only be emailed or shared via Twitter and Facebook—so whatever the self-loving Octomom may get up to in there, we at least know she won't be wasting paper.

Models (Who Else?) Celebrate The Opening of Bimini Bay Resort's New Beach Club
If you happened to be in Miami Beach a couple of weekends ago, you might have seen what you thought was a mirage: a beach volleyball tournament played by the most beautiful, bronzed people on earth. And if you missed out on this walking daydream--the Ludus Athletics Model Beach Volleyball Tournament--you get another chance to watch the pretty people jump and spike this weekend.
That is if you can hitch a ride over to Bimini in the Bahamas. That's where the finalist teams--of models (it bears repeating)--will stage a rematch of the SoBe Tournament, to break in the Sakara Beach Club.
A luxury beach resort launching a new beach club--the European kind with sexy day beds, live DJs and tons of delicious things to eat and drink--is cause for celebration, no? Well, Bimini Bay Resort and Marina certainly thinks so--which is why they're flying in a slew of models to celebrate the launch of their new Sakara Beach Club.

Dita Von Teese Picks a Perfect but Pricey Paris Hotel
A "Salon Room"
In 2009, burlesque performer and all-around awesome celeb Dita Von Teese tweeted a Paris hotel recommendation to her followers. At that time, she named the art deco Hotel Lutetia, but in 2012, her loyalties lie elsewhere.
Earlier today, Dita answered the hotel recommendation question again for a fan:
The vintage rooms at The Hotel Raphael @MonsieurDeMatt: @DitaVonTeese I'm going to Paris in May... nice hotels you know?— Dita Von Teese (@DitaVonTeese) March 20, 2012
The Hotel Raphael is now not only Dita-approved, but moved to the top of our list after only a few minutes' time spent browsing their website. Those rooms! That furniture! The terrace in the Arc de Triomphe suite! Le sigh.
Glamor like this won't come cheaply, however; rooms start at 315 Euro per night, or 465 Euro if you want the lowest level of suite. That said, these rooms would make the perfect setting for a honeymoon, photo shoot, bachelorette night...etc. Thanks again, Dita!

Miami's Vainest Hotels
In "news" that will surprise practically no one, Miami topped a recent poll as the country's Vainest City.
To prove that the honor is not just a bunch of hot air, the Sagamore hotel is out to show that it, for one, is sexy and it knows it. Yes, that's the name of their new package: Sexy & We Know It.
But the whole vain Miami thing got us thinking: what other hotels around town might have helped earn the city this label? We're thinking The Setai and W South Beach, for sure, as well as the newly-revamped-and-shouting-it-from-the-rooftops, Shelborne South Beach.

Where Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue Models Stayed Down Under
Just try to pass a newsstand this month without double-taking at the scantily clad model Kate Upton, gracing the annual Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Issue. For 2012, the gaggle of photographers, stylists and models headed down under to Australia's Great Barrier Reef and Palm Cove, but of course did a stint in the capital, Sydney.
Before heading out to the azure blue of the world famous reef, the girls hunkered down at the Shangri-La Sydney, where we're guessing they probably had their makeup and wardrobe tests while savoring the ridiculous views the hotel has of both the opera house and the Harbour Bridge.
And then it was off to Cairns, and to another hotelthe Shangri-La at The Marina. The girls may have checked out many months ago, but anyone can score a night at the same hotel; we found rates of around 145 AUD ($155) for the end of February.

AP News : LimaOhio.com (Jul 4, 10:22 AM EDT)
"Hong Kong lawmakers said Saturday they would be unwilling to approve a plan to expand the city's Disneyland unless the government and Walt Disney Co. tell them how the theme park has performed since it opened in 2005."
"Scrutinizing the deal Saturday, lawmakers said the Hong Kong executive has not disclosed the park's attendance figures or told them how well it has performed in the more than three years since it opened. They said they needed to see more details of the expansion before they could vote Friday to approve or reject the plan.
"We have to decide whether to approve the commitment of this large sum as equity for the expansion of the park, but we have been given very little information. This is really depressing," said pro-government lawmaker Starry Lee."

As our hotel was located adjacent to The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Leisure Precinct we utilized this area extensively during our visit. We found it a wonderful place to just wander around during the evening. Plenty of interesting things to see from groups of locals enjoying some dancing in the parks or cracking spinning tops with huge stock whips to the very impressive nightly floodlit 'Fountain Show' to the many bronze statues and public artworks that are scattered throughout this wonderful area. Every city should have an area like this.

The graceful silhouette and detailed carving of this chair are in keeping with classical French elegance, but the weathered gray finish of the oak and the off-white linen upholstery add a contemporary ease.
