Rated 2 out of 5 by Jason19 1st TIME GREAT - 2ND TIME DISAPPOINTMENT First time we stayed here we LOVED it and told everyone about it. Last night, It all went wrong. Shuttle failed. Staff Failed. Heater Failed. Wife had to sleep in winter coat. Had to move rooms at 12:40 am. Would maybe stay again and give them another chance, but the bitter taste in our mouth may take a while to dissipate. Beautiful hotel with unlimited potential, just had a snowball of bad experiences packed into a 24 hour period. The supervisor Mike was somewhat polite, but full of excuses, offered us points for a free room, but still feel unsatisfied with that. I would have felt better if they would've reimbursed me for my cab fees and refunded our room rate, since we didn't get what we paid for, a comfortable room in a nice hotel. Is that too much to ask from such a nice place. I guess I also would've rather heard from the GM. I am a GM of a private golf club and I dread anything like this to happening to one of our guests. If it ever did, I would've went to the moon to repair the relationship with the guest. February 28, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by acanon0203 Great room, terrible service I was apart of a wedding party and checked in after our reception. While checking in the gentleman stated that the wedding party had a little gift bag and when he went to grab mine it wasn't there, he stated that I should call down if it is not in my room so we can figure that out. When I checked into my room I noticed it was not there and when I called down as requested I got an attitude and was told I "wasn't on the list to get one." He was very disrespectful towards me. Also, the bride and groom had paid for our rooms already and all we had to do was check in and they took my credit card information and ended up charging my card for the full price of the room. When I called to attempt to get it sorted out I received a voice mail yet I have not received a call back. I will say the room was nice and the after bar was interesting, however I would never stay at this hotel again and I would not recommend you do either. March 12, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by DBLJ Incompetent Made reservation a month before daughter's wedding night, August 17, contacted front desk two days before to verify reservation and late night checkin, was assured enerything was taken care of. Bride and groom arrived to checkin and told no room available as online system overbooked hotel. "The computer did it" Where i work people operate the organization, not computers. Staff on duty gave form apology letter with directions to the Ramada. Staff had lemon attitudes. Customer checked out so waited for room to be cleaned and certainly had the "late" checkin. Ths hotel is the joke of the wedding party and won't be forgotten for a long time. August 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carhartt Great Stay! Great hotel in a convenient location. I always enjoy my stays at the Aloft Minneapolis and this trip was no exception. The front desk staff is prompt and courteous. I like the wide ranges of food and beverage selection available. The location is close to everything. The only minor negatives I experienced is the self parking is luck of the draw at the garage across the street where the gate seemed to be broken on two occasions not admitting me (not part of the hotel property) which forces you to park on the streets and run down first thing in the morning to put money in the meters. Overall a great hotel!! July 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Britni Worst experience I drove to Minneapolis over Valentine's day weekend to meet up with some friends, have dinner, and just relax. I requested an early check in just to make sure my room would be ready when I got there as I had an early dinner reservation. I arrived at 5:30pm and my room wasn't available. Not only that there were about 25 other people in the lobby, some of which had been waiting for 3+ hours. The manager was no where to be found. I didn't get in my room until the sun had set and it was dark out, I was also late for my reservation as I barely had time to change. It took me complaining on Twitter to even get a response from upper management, Would not recommend. Not only that but they didn't even acknowledge me even being a starwood member. I special requested a room with a skyline view and had a room view of the back construction site. February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MinnesotaMarilyn Miscellaneous comments We were there on Thanksgiving, so it wasn't too busy. I was worried after reading negative things on the reviews, but found very few problems. I did leave my pillow behind and called the same evening, but they didn't have it. TV on treadmill didn't work. I called; they said they'd send someone, but no one came. Pool area seemed pretty chlorine-y, but really, despite these negatives, most things were VERY VERY nice and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.Shower nice, Bed nice, view, nice. I struggled with figuring out the lights. Overall: Good. November 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 Amazing Hotel was amazing. It was our first time staying at Aloft. Perfect location since we went to the Vikings game. Great view of downtown. Everyone was super nice. Only downside was the bed was really hard. We will stay here again. November 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kmarie1212 Fun! I think that the aloft was a great hotel. We stayed there for my friends birthday, and the staff was nice and helpful, the room was ready early and room service was quick. There was also a DJ at the bar which was fun too! I think that the only complaint I have was that the light switch in the room controlled the whole entire room, and I couldn't only turn on the light by the sink without annoying everyone sleeping. Also, the light in the bathroom didn't work, but we didn't have time to call maintenance for that anyway. Overall, it was a fun stay and I would definitely stay there again with my friends!

Moments…we all live for those wonderful pieces of time that make us feel…incredible, unbeatable, inspired.
For me, most of the moments in my life come from songs, films and books. The crunching chord in the chorus of 'The Power of Love' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The bridge in 'All the things she said' by Simple Minds. Any moment Rocky Balboa overcomes insurmountable odds ("Get up you sonofabitch…cos Mickey loves ya…'). The chord change in 'Why does my heart feel so bad?' by Moby. Scrooge's redemption in 'A Christmas Carol'. Rutger Hauer's death speech in 'Blade Runner'. The heavenly choirs in both 'The Last Dalek' by Murray Gold and 'All For You' by Paul Leonard-Morgan. The lyric 'I know you have a little life in you yet, I know you have a lot of strength left…'.
I could go on. It would be easy to list many such moments.
But sometimes, moments are all I ever seem to get from Tiddles. Such is the nature of our fragile relationship these days, such moments of pleasure come all too fleetingly and are sadly gone just as quickly.
We danced the other night.
I was in the kitchen and he came in and without even being asked, stood on my feet and we danced around in a circle in our tiny kitchen. It only felt like a minute but in actuality it was probably less. It wasn't long I know that much.
Then he suddenly put his arms around me and squeezed me tightly. My arms were pinned so I couldn't hug him back, but it didn't matter because I had misinterpreted the hug. I could feel him walking me backwards, out of the kitchen. We got to the living room door and he turned me to go through it. Then he realised he wasn't where he wanted to be so turned me round and walked me back towards the office, where he pushed me in and shut the door.
'Relax Riddler, you're in no hurry now…' He said, mimicking Batman – The Animated Series from the 70's. Knowing the next line, having heard the damn thing so often, I replied.
'You…you…caped creeps!'
And then he laughed the fake laugh beloved of that particular genre of 70's cartoon makers.
Then he left me. He had had his fun, his momentary connection with me now severed, he walked away ready to move on to the next thing.
This is a common theme here. I get moments. Sometimes the moments last a bit longer, most of the time they are no more than a minute. And sometimes it's difficult to accept. It actually breaks my heart to write this down sometimes. Cathartic it is not. But I still write them down. I hope people get something out of them, even some small moment of clarity, comfort, even a feeling of smug superiority, I don't care. I write them for whatever heartbreaking reason that I do. He's my beautiful Quiet Prince and his distance from me is for me to deal with, whether anybody reads about my sadnesses and successes or not.
The other night, my son and I, we danced.
My quiet Prince…
Except he's not of course. He's loud and vocal, constantly chattering and shouting at times. He repeats lines from a wide variety of films and television shows from Batman Forever through to Batman the animated series (70's version), encompassing Stingray, Thunderbirds, Wind in The Willows, Willo The Wisp, Joe 90, Oakie Doke, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and of course, the autistic's weapon of choice, Thomas the Tank Engine along the way. At times it's difficult to keep him quiet.
Except of course, when you speak directly to him.
Then, you'll be lucky if he says more than 3 words to you. And they are 2 more than he actually wants to say to you. If he can make himself understood with a nod or a shake of his head, then he will. It's only with a bit of prompting that you may get a 'yes'. And then with more prompting, a 'Yes. Please.'
It's something we've tried to combat, but to no avail. My Quiet Prince knows on a deep level that we know what he wants and that we don't need him to tell us. But we still try and get him to engage by asking.
Why? Why do we bother?
Because I/we love him. And that reaching across to Narnia is something I/we will never stop doing, because to do so will mean that I've lost him forever and I'm just not prepared to do that.
I wait patiently for THAT connection, that moment when HE becomes my boy, my son, my friend even if only for a second.
Understand that I COULD do something else. I COULD not bother to wait and when I get some of the reactions from Tiddles sometimes, nobody could blame me.
But these moments are precious. When they happen at home, I don't tend to make too much of them. I think because I fear that in doing so would break the spell and I like to take the moments where and when I can.
I'm reminded of a great song taken from the latest album by (Sir) Billy Idol, 'Love and Glory', which contains the line;
"In another universe, if the planets are reversed, would I still wait patiently, for you?"
Yes, yes I would.
There is no glory in being a parent to any child. If there was, then parents probably wouldn't split up. Parenting can be hard, mainly because there is nobody that you can look to as THE ideal for How To Be A Parent. But we do it anyway and we do it for the love that possibly may come our way. And with Tiddles, possibly is an oft used word and that's why I love the moments I do get and crave more of the time between us when he rejects me.
I'm grateful of course. How can I not be? It would be churlish of me to criticise the quality or quantity of the time we spend together, but of course, you always want more.
But, he is as ever, my beautiful boy. My son.
My Quiet Prince…
The all encompassing word, meaning -depending on the circumstances – what goes around, comes around OR you reap what you sow OR that bastard got what he deserved…(delete as applicable).
I'll make an admission here. I've not always been the best of men.
I'm far from perfect. I've made decisions I've come to regret and I've done things I'm not proud of. I've let down at some time or another, my close family, relatives, friends, even strangers at some point in the 46.75 years I've been around.
I've been rude and insulting. I can be vain, greedy, lazy, dishonest. I have been and continue to be at times, selfish, unthinking and very not very likeable.
And now it's come back to bite me.
Karma…what goes around,comes around…the bastard got what he deserved…
A lifetime of choices, good and bad have led me to Tiddles, my judge. The very thing I want, is to be forever in sight but never attainable.
I'm not a 'good' man, and I think the universe has been biding it's time to show me that.
I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but one of my favourite stories of all time is 'A Christmas Carol' by Dickens. I can watch several different versions of this tale over the Christmas period and have done so in the last month. The ultimate story of redemption for a man who has been weighed down by the chains of the decisions he has made over the course of his life. I love it and every time I get to the resolution, Scrooge's promise to keep Christmas in his heart and live in the past, the present and the future, I always think, 'Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to be a better man, somebody that I'm proud of. Somebody people would be glad to know.'
And maybe then, Tiddles would love me a little bit more. Or at least, acknowledge my existence as something more than a figure of…indifference?
'He does love you,deep down.' People say. So why doesn't it feel like it? Why does everything that he shows me is contrary to that belief? Because I believe that personally, I am not a 'good' man. And this is how the universe has chosen to show me.
Now I can already hear most of you reading this saying to yourselves, but that's what everybody is like. Nobody's perfect.
And you'd be right. You would be absolutely spot on. But I cannot speak for you, I can only speak for myself. I've passed my judgement on people I hardly knew before and it's another thing I feel I am having to atone for. But, my blog – and I've always written it from my point of view with as much honesty, brutal or otherwise, as I can – may not always be pretty, but it is always from the heart.
So I want to be 'better'. If the universe has a plan for me and Tiddles and this is what's involved, then I have to do whatever it takes to see if it leads me to him. There may just be a path to Narnia that is hidden until such time that I'm deemed worthy enough to see it. Who knows?
Nothing is certain but unless I do something about it, I'll never know.
I'm probably closer to Ebeneezer Scrooge than I ever realised and this could be my wake up call. My redemption. All of the years of watching 'A Christmas Carol' and I probably should've been taking it more to heart.
I've always thought I could make a difference in this life. The reality of it is that actually, right now, I can't even make a difference with Tiddles. I'm treading water with him. And if I'm being honest again, little by little, I'm actually drowning. I just don't realise it.
So. Can I 'be the difference I want to see in the world?' All the self help books tell me I can. But until I can get up and act instead of just theorising about it, then the answer will continue to be a loud, resounding 'no', followed by a mocking laugh from all who witness this ridiculous charade.
I'll continue making bad judgements, of course. Wrong decisions, mistakes. I'll be rude at times, say things in the heat of the moment that I'll regret, etc. I'm human. Who doesn't stumble, no matter how good the intentions? And if I do, will there be anybody to catch my fall? Time will tell…
Do or do not. There is no try. But never give up.
I'm not a good man.
I'm just a man who loves his son.
Perceptions and realities…
We all like to think that we are a tolerant bunch. Good Samaritans who would stop and help somebody in need, or not judge somebody just by what we see. That we'd get to know the real person before making our minds up. Kind, thoughtful, caring…all that other stuff.
The reality of course is that we're not and we do. It's human nature. The sad fact is that we have lots of thoughts flashing through our heads in a second of all the possible scenarios of what could happen. I'm as guilty of this as the next man/woman/child/traveller. It's not that we don't want to help, it's more the fear of the unknown-what could happen to us? If they're bleeding, might we catch something? Might they get violent? Are they armed? Are they drunk?
What almost never crosses our minds until possibly the last microsecond is that maybe there are mental health issues at the root of their behaviour.
Whatever the reasons, self preservation takes hold and we would rather steer clear, shake our heads in disbelief, or worse, mock them for their behaviour and let's be honest we've all done that in our younger years, because to our youthful eyes, it's funny to see a tramp shouting at pigeons or an old lady who moves slowly and talks in a rasping voice.
We don't appreciate that the tramp may be a paranoid schizophrenic who has slipped through the net because of his circumstances or that the old lady could have chronic arthritis and throat cancer.
Who knows? I certainly didn't and still don't, because we all know you can't judge a book by its cover…unless it's 'Judging a book by it's cover' by Judge Bookcover and then you probably can…
When Tiddles was younger, I used to walk along the street holding his hand. We thought nothing of it, because it was something we did to keep him safe. Now he's 16, and I'm still walking along the streets holding his hand, or have him link his arm in mine. I still think nothing of it, because I'm still keeping him safe on the roads. He's getting taller, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he ends up dwarfing me eventually.
But what do other people see?
Tiddles doesn't look autistic, whatever that means. There are times when he will suddenly shout out loud in crowded places, usually scaring a few old ladies…('shhh Luke, not so loud…I'm terribly sorry') or he'll jump and flick his feet, Riverdance stylee, but nobody looking at him for the first time would say, 'ah, autistic…'
But they would possibly shy away from him for fear of the unknown. Which, as we have already said, is a natural human reaction. Sadly.
But do people see a dad walking along the road with his son? Or do they see a middle aged man walking arm in arm with a teenage boy? Same thing, different perceptions.
Tiddles walks with me because he has been conditioned to do so. It's something he does, because it's something he has always done. Given the choice, however, he probably wouldn't. If we ever go out as a family, either with or without The Eldest Child, Tiddles always has to be reassured that TCMH is coming with us. She sometimes doesn't come out straightaway, for whatever reason and so Tiddles is always vocal in making sure that it's not just me taking him out. And he casts the occassional glance over his shoulder to see if she is indeed coming too. He doesn't understand the concept of lying, but he does know that if you say you are going to do something then you are going to do it. So if Mummy is coming with us, you had better be damn sure that she is going to do just that, or else…
It's difficult to define the relationship that we have. We're not friends, not in the traditional sense that some parents are lucky enough to have with their children, and that I have with The Eldest Child. We're just…together, I suppose, but not. We have the same surname and we share the same spaces, but we don't have the same rules as to who we are. He's Luke, that's Jake, there's Mummy and I'm 'Go away'.
The pain of losing somebody close to you is something that takes many people a long time to get over and come to terms with. But they do, because they have the memories of that person, which are probably all of the good times whilst tending to gloss over the bad.
But how about losing that person whilst they are still here? Tiddles' attitude towards me has not improved in the last 20-odd months and as I have stated previously if anything it has gotten worse. I don't like it. I hate it, but I can do nothing about it, except go on being there for him, holding his hand and keeping him safe. But I have lost him to Narnia.
And eventually one day, I'm not going to be here. It's a sad fact, but a fact all the same. Will he miss me? No, probably not. But that's strangely ok. He won't have to deal with that loss, and in a perverse way, that makes me happy that our relationship is at that stage. He won't mourn, or cry, or be sad. And that is good.
I can see now, that like many of my friends from whom have drifted from my life, I have served a role. I was the one who swam with him, picked him up when he was tired, pushed his bike uphill when he was still on it. Maybe, possibly I was once an important part of Tiddles life. I don't know. Now I can see that I'm not.
Perceptions and realities.
I'm still his father of course, that will never change, but am I his dad? Only Tiddles could tell you that.
But I'm not the centre of his universe any more.
Perhaps I never was…
Dancing with Tiddles.
TCMH is a lovely mum and wife. Sometimes though she does something that becomes a habit that is hard to break. I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about Tiddles.
Let me explain…
A few weeks ago, Tiddles came up to me and wanted me to chase him, something I never pass up. I ran after him and we ran around the house, ending up as we usually do with him jumping on the sofa. It was at this point that TCMH said,
"Say freeze, Luke!"
"FREEZE!" repeated Tiddles and I dutifully froze in my tracks, just as I reached monkey boy. Laughing, he pushed me away and, seeing as I was frozen, I fell over, still keeping the same position.
"And now you have to say "Unfreeze…" said TCMH.
'UNFREEZE!' Tiddles repeated. I relaxed and started to get up.
'FREEZE!' shouted Tiddles. I froze.
'UNFREEZE!' he said again. I did as ordered.
This went on for another 5 minutes. Tiddles loved the fact he had this magic power over me, so much so that he even went upstairs and brought down his magic wand to cast the freeze spell over me. And so it set the scence for the last month or so. Whenever I get close to him, he yells out 'freeze' and I stop in my tracks, allowing him to move away from me or push me over, or whatever he wants. And I – Like An Idiot – allow him to do it.
Because it's magic to him. To him this world can be mysterious, confusing, frustrating and sometimes even frightening. But it can also be magical. Christmas, birthdays, even some holidays, are all magical to him. He adores Christmas, and the wonderful fantasy of Father Christmas will always be a source of wonder to him, because we have always kept that magic alive for him. He goes to sleep, eventually, on Christmas Eve, he wakes up early on Christmas morning and he has a stocking full of things that he has asked for! Magic!
Who are we to crush that beautiful dream for him or for any child who still believes? I and my family absolutely adore Christmas, so we are more than happy to indulge at this wonderful time of the year.
And so the same goes for this other magic spell. Who am I to refuse that for him? He believes he can freeze me and delights in doing so. It's his power now. The reverse doesn't work however. I tried freezing him the other day but he just carried on doing what he was doing, looking at me in his cat-like way, and giving me a two fingered salute with his eyes as if to say,
"I have no idea what you are talking about…"
This has been taken to extremes though.
The other day, when my parents – Dennis Waterman & Mrs Shufflewick – were here, Tiddles decided that he wanted chasing again. Again I obliged. Any excuse to have a cuddle with him if I can, was my thinking. We ran, I got close, he put his spell on me and I froze. He then put a blanket over my head. He's done that before so nothing new there, but then he unfroze me and guided me into our little office at the front of the house.
Then he froze me again.
Then he shut the office door…
And went and watched TV.
And I – like an IDIOT, AGAIN – stayed in there, frozen for about 5 minutes. Dennis and Mrs Shufflewick, who could see me in the office through the door with a blanket over my head, were laughing their heads off. But did they do anything, like open the door? No…they also left me there, standing stock still with a blanket over my head, as they tried to convince Tiddles to free me…
The power of love, eh? It's not just a force from above…
This is the first blog after the milestone 50 that I reached last week and to be honest I wasn't really that sure if I was going to write another one.
But today is a rather special day.
When I started writing these blogs 18 months ago, Tiddles was 14. I was writing about the chunky, cuddly, shouty teenager, whose voice was breaking and for whose boyhood I grieved as he grew bigger.
Today, October 22nd 2014, is Tiddles 16th birthday. Another milestone and another sign of all of our mortality. The little blonde baby has gone, replaced now by the slimline, ever-growing, spotty youth with the voice of a young Hannam. And the hair! His legs are so covered in dark hair it looks like he's auditioning for the part of a Faun in The Chronicles of Narnia…
But whilst I will be sad as I look at old pictures of my beautiful boy, and whilst I will also be scared of what's to come in his life, I will also marvel at the little things that he can do.
For instance…TCMH has been unwell this week, so Tiddles keeps going to her and giving her imaginary medicine, feeling her forehead, rubbing her stomach and saying, 'all better now…'. He's capable of making himself something to eat, as long as it's a marmite sandwich and a peeled carrot – which he peels himself.
I could go on, but the birthday boy is awake and for Tiddles, it's all about the presents. Cards are to be opened and put aside for mummy and daddy to read. Presents are a-waiting! Unless it's clothes…cos they're boring.
So, I'll relate this story which happened last week.
It was TCMH's birthday and with her money she had ordered an old Bakelite style phone, which she had always wanted. It turned up and I connected it, and duly rung it for her to answer. Then we showed it to Tiddles and I rung it for him to answer. He picked it up and he quoted some lines from 'Joe 90′ before putting the receiver down again.
TCMH came back into the living room and we sat watching some TV, listening to Tiddles talking on the phone, this time quoting lines from 'Trumpton' – he does love his classic childrens TV shows. Then the phone rang, for real this time. TCMH went and answered it and I could hear her saying,
'Yes, I'm very sorry about that, it's my son. He's autistic. No, I do apologise, we'll certainly try, thank you.'
She came back in.
'That was the police…Luke dialled 999 when he was talking to Trumpton Fire Station…' Before she could say anymore, the phone rang again. TCMH answered it.
'It's for you,' she said, 'it's Essex Police again…'
'Is that Mr Hannam? We're just checking everything is alright as we have had a couple of calls from your number which only lasted a few seconds…'
'Yes, I'm very sorry about that, it was my son whose autistic. He was pretending to talk to…it doesn't matter. I do apologise…'
Happy Birthday Luke Hannam, with love from your Dad.
Dear Tiddles…
When I started writing these, it was to document the ever growing distance between us. It was also a way of telling you things that you would never know, never care about, or even ever give a thought to. They were my feelings and thoughts about us, me and you. Father and son. Dad and boy. A love letter that spanned 50 blogs, thousands of words and 18 months. Has it made a difference to us?
Not in the slightest. It could be that its because you will never read these, know the feelings I have for you, or my frustrations not on a daily basis by a minute by minute basis. From the first time I see you awake in the morning, to when I eventually go to bed, my anger at what fate or life or the universe, God or whoever the hell is calling the shots has dealt me is suffocated by my dealing with the fact that one of my beloved sons really doesn't like me or even want me around. So much so that he would rather punch me and face the consequences of his actions than try and accept me for who I am…which is your dad. And it hurts Tiddles, it really does, physically and mentally.
The other day, you were so upset about something or maybe you were in pain, that you were screaming. And you were manic, frantic almost. You ran the length of the living and slapped the conservatory windows so hard, we thought you were going to break them. You then ran back, screaming and launched yourself at me, ramming your knee into my stomach/hip. That was one of the worst pains I've ever felt from you, but I held onto you and let you scream and cry safely, without the risk of hurting yourself.
That's just what I do for you. I try to protect you, as I try to protect everybody I love. Most people know this, but you…well you couldn't care less.
But that's not a problem. There are some things between us that will just never be, but I wonder – and not for the first time – what would happen if you could talk to me, even just once? Would you know?
"Yes, Luke?"
"Why do you always seem so sad?"
"Sad? Do I? Well…I don't know really. It's probably because I was tasked to do a particular job and I haven't been able to do it properly."
"What was that?"
"Look after you, be your dad."
"Oh, right…"
"Is there something about me that you don't like?"
"I can't answer that."
"Why not?"
"Cos I don't know the answer…the best I can come up with is that when I see you there is something about you that seems to, I don't know, anger me. I don't seem to like you talking to me. Why do you keep talking to me?"
"Because you're my son and I love you. What am I supposed to do, just ignore you? I'd hate that!"
"Have you ever considered that I might love that?"
"No. Would you?"
"I can't answer that. Have you tried it?"
"I hated it…but you didn't seem to mind…"
"There you go…"
"But we don't have a lot going on between us anymore! If I just stopped talking to you, what would we have left?"
"What do we have now?"
"Listen, I'm just trying to be your dad. I hate the fact that you can't bear to be in the same room as me sometimes, but I deal with it. I deal with you hitting me…why do you do that, by the way?"
"I can't answer that. I just do."
"You don't seem to know much about this do you?"
"This is your imaginary conversation, not mine…"
"Ok. Well, I'm not going to stop loving you. Ever. I'm going to take care of you for as long as possible, whether you like it or not."
"I know…gotta go now."
"Go where?"
"Back to Narnia."
"Do you have to? Please stay a bit longer?"
"I don't want to. But I'll come back again."
"I'll be waiting for you."
"I know. Bye Dad."
"See you soon, Luke. I love you."
See you soon, Tiddles.
Love Dad

Technomic research recently predicted that the $680 billion restaurant industry will see three percent growth in 2015. What else can industry leaders expect in 2015?
Getting noticed is a challenge, you have to offer something truly great and differentiate yourself in several ways, says CEO of Louisville-based Loui Loui's.
Instead of exhausting yourself trying to change customer behavior, take the necessary steps to minimize the distractions cell phones can present.
Look into markets that sell seconds or items that are discounted because of overruns.
For independent operators, it's important to understand futures and have a good relationship with distributors and manufacturers to best manage food costs.
A majority -- 88 percent -- of restaurant patrons indicate a preference for self-service technology at their table, while 12 percent indicated a preference for a kiosk upon arrival.
Themes for 2015 include customization, freshness and mobile ordering/payments.
Even though going green may cost more than conventional items, consumers are willing to pay more for the opportunity; for them it is not an indulgence but a necessity.
The focus on healthy menu attributes, such as grass-fed beef, antibiotic and hormone-free products, etc., seemed to be more prevalent than similar products in the United States.
On top of record-high commodities prices, labor inflation, technology costs and health care/menu labeling logistics, there is also intensified competition in foodservice.
Technomic released results regarding the 500 largest restaurant chains in the United States, which found that the restaurants accelerated their cumulative sales to a 4 percent increase growth in 2014, totaling an estimated $274.4 billion.
LivingSocial has released its "Restaurants Trends & Insights for 2015" report, which found that 68 percent of restaurateurs have limited marketing budgets and 49 percent of respondents have difficulty tracking ROI of marketing investments as their most significant marketing challenges.
Chick-fil-A and Papa John's deliver the best customer experience in the fast food industry, according to the 2015 Temkin Experience Ratings.
The National Restaurant Association's Chief Economist Bruce Grindy revealed his thoughts on the latest employment trends in a statement: "Despite the challenging winter weather conditions in parts of the country, restaurants continued to add jobs at a robust pace in...
Technomic's New Consumer4Sight Group gathered data from 81,870 consumer foodservice occasions over one year to take a look at the 2015 landscape.
The National Restaurant Association's Chief Economist Bruce Grindy breaks down the latest employment trends.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Fast-Food & Home-Delivery Outlets Market Report 2015" study to its inventory.
Louisville, Colorado-based customer intelligence solutions provider Market Force Information released the results on its latest study on consumer's favorite quick-service restaurant chains. The study includes four food categories: pizza, Mexican fare, chicken and sandwiches.
The RPI – a monthly composite index that tracks the health of and outlook for the U.S. restaurant industry – stood at 102.7 in January, which represented the fourth consecutive month above the level of 102.
The National Pork Board in partnership with Crimson Hexagon analyzed more than 30 million Facebook, Instagram and Twitter food posts with Crimson Hexagon's ForSight Tool to discover what makes up an American meal.
Research and Markets has published the "Pizza Market in the U.S.: Foodservice and Retail, Second Edition" report.
Plant proteins, insects, algae, and synthetic biology sources may make up over 50 percent of the alternative protein market by 2054.
States whose restaurant workforces represent the largest proportions of their overall employment include Nevada, with 16 percent; Hawaii, with 14 percent and Florida, with 12 percent. Nationally, the percentage is at about 10 percent.
To keep up with restaurant competition, retail pizza marketers are offering consumers more options aligning with health and wellness trends, according to the Pizza Market in the U.S.: Foodservice and Retail, 2nd Edition report, as fast casual "alters the fast food landscape."
This release is the first for the accommodation and food services sector and covers Colorado and Hawaii.
Research the latest restaurant industry trends and statistics. Understanding the trends driving the industry and how to leverage that knowledge for future growth will keep you ahead of your competition.

Manufacturer: Reinsman
Model: Comfort Fit Trail Saddle
Category: Trail Saddles
Likes: This is my second Reinsman Comfort Fit Saddle. I had to sell my first one, but I loved it so much, when the stars aligned, I went out and bought another! The leather is high quality, the saddle is gorgeous to look at, the seat is well designed and comfortable for me, the tree is perfect for my substantial Quarter Horse mare. I have never had sore knees or fanny in this saddle.
Quality: This is a very well constructed saddle (as was the first!) The leather is great, the stitching straight. I had it checked out by a professional saddle fitter, and it came out of the factory straight with no problems of tree crookedness.
Summary: I said before if I had the chance to buy another Reinsman I would, and I did! That says it all.

This week in… 1963 - The Vauxhall Viva HA
On 26 September 1963, The Engineer announced the launch of a compact one-litre car set to compete with Ford's 100E, the Morris Minor and Austin's A35 saloon: the Vauxhall Viva HA.
The 'economical, roomy and competitively priced car' was based loosely on the design of the two-door Kadett, produced by General Motors' stablemate Opel. It was also one of the first cars to be actively marketed at women.
There was conjecture over whether the Viva HA would have a front-wheel-drive configuration or a rear-engine, rear-drive layout. In the end, said The Engineer, 'Vauxhall… has been left unmoved by current design trends and… has remained quite faithful to the traditional layout.'
Outlining the 'Viva formula', the magazine describes 'a front-mounted, water-cooled engine driving the rear wheel through a four-speed, all- synchromesh gearbox'. It added: 'The unit construction body provides adequate room for four persons, who are certainly not greatly limited in the luggage they can carry in the capacious boot.'
Accelerating from zero to 50mph in 13.3 seconds, the article reports that top speeds in excess of 80mph have been recorded, while average fuel consumption was 'of the order of 42mpg'.
The first Vivas to roll off the production line cost around £436, and the great success of the vehicle saw a series of models launched until 1979, when the final Viva HC rolled off the production line. It was replaced by the Vauxhall Astra.

Back in 2002, under-the-radar American Idol contestant Kelly Clarkson suddenly found herself in front-runner status after belting a note only heard by dogs and Mariah Carey during her Top 8 performance of Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman."
RELATED: Best and Worst Performances of Grammys 2013
And just over 10 years later, the pop star returned to the hit during the 2013 Grammys, giving Idol fans a nostalgic trip back to the days when chunky highlights and love for Justin Guarini reigned supreme. (And we should enjoy the nostalgia while it lasts — what are the chances the singer will ever give a rousing repeat performance of "A Moment Like This" again?)
But the question becomes: In the battle between Grammy-winning Clarkson and bowler hat-topped Clarkson, which came out on top?
Trick question: We do.

Rajon Rondo was able to extend his streak of 10 or more assists to 34 straight games, but that was the only good news for the Celtics, who dropped a 103-83 decision to the Pistons on Sunday night in Auburn Hills, Mich.
The Celtics were outscored in the second and third quarters by a combined 48-32 margin after getting out to a 25-23 lead after the first quarter. The Celts, who were playing their fourth game in five days, allowed Detroit to shoot 54 percent from the floor while being outrebounded 39-30.
Jared Sullinger led all Celtics with 16 points off the bench, with Kevin Garnett netting 15 points in just 20 minutes.
But while Rondo made five of his seven shots from the field, the rest of the Celtics backcourt struggled. Starting shooting guard Jason Terry went just 1-of-6 from the field, while backup point guard Leandro Barbosa made just 1-of-6 shots.
Rondo finished with 10 assists, but the Celtics could manage just two additional assists as a team, with Barbosa and Jeff Green collecting one apiece.
The Pistons, who came into the game with just one win in 10 attempts, were led by Greg Monroe, who had 20 points and 13 rebounds. Monroe was a big reason for Detroit's 44 points in the paint.

Please enter a valid mileage
Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Chrysler 300
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 8.8
The 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan is one of the few remaining big, powerful, rear-wheel-drive American luxury sedans, a layout that was once the hallmark of Detroit's Big Three. But, unlike those early giants, this full-size 4-door can handle like a German sport sedan, accelerate like a hyped-up muscle machine, and impress the neighbors as if it cost twice the price. Whereas the last-generation Chrysler 300 had a decidedly gangster feel to it, the 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan has moved uptown, showing softer edges and more tasteful use of chrome trim. The tall doors and narrow windows are still in place, although there is more glass in the rear for improved visibility. However, when riding on 20-inch wheels and clad in gloss black paint, the 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan still lets its tough persona shine through. The new standard Pentastar V6 engine is brilliant, as are the two Hemi V8 engines offered with the 300C and the all-new high-performance 300 SRT8.
If you demand your car's interior be as hushed as a library at midnight, the 2012 Chrysler 300 should be at the top of your car shopping list. Among its competitors, including the Ford Taurus, Toyota Avalon and Buick LaCrosse, only the 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan offers the superior handling that comes from a rear-drive platform.
While front-wheel drive is better in the snow than rear drive, the 2012 Chrysler 300 does offer all-wheel drive (AWD) on both the V6 and V8 models. Unfortunately, you'll end up paying a lot more than a comparable front-drive competitor and you'll see your gas mileage drop a bit.
The 2012 Chrysler 300 receives a new 8-speed ZF automatic transmission as well as new S letter series and Luxury Series trim levels. The new transmission is available on the V6 Limited, 300S and AWD models, with the S trim getting a "Sport" shift manual mode. Versions of the Chrysler 300 with the V8 get a new mesh grille, while the "Beats by Dr. Dre" audio system is offered on more models. Model-year 2012 also marks the return of the 300 SRT8, featuring a 6.4-liter Hemi V8, 2-mode adaptive damping suspension and 19-speaker harman/kardon audio system.
Driving Impressions With its powerful V6 and V8 engines, rear-wheel drive (RWD) platform and performance-tuned suspension, the 2012 Chrysler 300 is arguably the best-handling sedan in the segment (along with its Chrysler...sibling, the Dodge Charger). But, while we are in love with the car's acceleration and handling, we've also observed that the 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan doesn't return the road feel and steering feedback associated with high-performance sedans. We don't think this will bother most owners, as a car like the 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan is built more for cruising 'cross country than carving up twisting back roads. If performance is your intention, however, the powerful new 300 SRT8 is the sedan you'll want. Its 470-horsepower Hemi V8 can rocket it to 60 mph in under 5 seconds and achieve a top speed of 175 mph. You'll sacrifice some ride comfort and quiet, but the trade-off for the blistering performance the SRT8 offers is something we figure most enthusiasts can accept. The S and Limited trim levels offer interiors as quiet as a Lexus LS 460, or so Chrysler claims, and seemingly as luxurious as an Audi A6. Those who seek the thrill of acceleration will likely choose the Hemi V8 but, in truth, the standard Pentastar V6 is more than adequate in this car, delivering excellent fuel economy and smooth, quiet operation.
The Big Screen
The 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan's big 8.4-inch view screen features clear, easy to read and operate controls for the audio and available navigation. The UConnect Touch infotainment system allows control of an iPod via the steering-wheel remotes or voice activation and features hands-free texting. The available navigation radio also features voice activation, as well as maps by Garmin.
Quiet Highway Ride
The 2012 Chrysler 300 offers a bunch of tech-based features worth highlighting, but the most memorable first impression is the remarkably quiet cabin.
2011 Chrysler 300 Details
Compared to the last-generation 300, the 2012 sedan's interior is the difference between an army surplus cot and a goose-down feather bed. Gone are the drab gray plastics and hard surfaces, replaced by warm tones, padded armrest and console, and a dazzling array of back-lit instrumentation. If you like thick-rimmed steering wheels, you'll be happy to find in the new Chrysler 300 one of the world's thickest. The flagship 300C Luxury Series models are even more luxurious, offering such items as a leather-stitched dash cap, 2-tone leather seating, and heated and cooling 12-way power seats. Passenger comfort is paramount for the Chrysler 300, which offers generous legroom for both front and rear passengers, but the trade-off is a rather small trunk.Exterior
There is still widespread disagreement amongst our editors about the 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan's new grille. The flat-nose front end and horizontal grille stand in stark contrast to the previous model's protruding egg-crate grille, but the look is growing on us and Chrysler offers a number of aftermarket grilles as well. The familiar 300 silhouette is still easily recognizable, but there is a softer, more mature feel to the design. Intricate details, such as the vertical crease in the rear tail lamps, the chrome air-intake surrounds, and LED daytime running lamps speak to the Chrysler 300's luxury status. The 300 SRT8 makes no such claim, displaying a more monochrome exterior with low ground effects and 7-spoke lightweight forged aluminum wheels. But even the base 300 gets the star treatment, with attractive paint and chrome trim, 17-inch wheels and a host of available upgrades.
The entry-priced 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan is a lot of car for the money, featuring keyless entry and start, a big 8.4-inch touchscreen with climate and music controls, USB/iPod connectivity, dual-zone auto climate control, power driver's seat, one-touch up/down windows all around and a full complement of active and passive safety features. Bluetooth phone connectivity is among the few glaring omissions from the standard equipment list.
In addition to the 363-horsepower V8 engine, all-wheel drive, a navigation system and leather seats, a Chrysler 300C AWD loaded with all the options will include an impressive list of high-tech luxuries: Radar-based adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning systems up front, rear cross-path sensors out back, and blind-spot monitoring to help out on the side. In-cabin highlights include heated/cooled cup holders and a 900-watt, 19-speaker harman/kardon audio system.
The 2012 Chrysler 300's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is the most powerful base engine in the category. The Hemi V8 has just slightly less horsepower than the Ford Taurus' twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, but a substantially larger amount of torque. The SRT8's 6.4-liter monster pumps out 470 horsepower, more than anything in this class. On Limited, S and AWD V6 trims a new 8-speed ZF transmission helps boost fuel economy figures to best in class. All other models employ a 5-speed automatic.

"I have owned the car for over 2 years. No problems. Handles well, comfortable and excellent gas mileage. Can not say anything bad about the vehicle except, as with all Chrysler products it is too low on the front end which requires you to be very careful parking as you will bump into the curb which causes dents in the undercarriage. Can say anything bad about the car."

Taking daughters to school: easy to navigate the heavier traffic. Heated and cooled cup holders! Confident backing out of diagonal parking next to tall vehicles; because I can see around them with the rear-view camera. Love it, Love it, Love it. (did I mention massive power?)"

Mine does not have every bell and whistle but it is well equipped and I could actually afford it. The gas mileage is incredible..33 MPG on trips and 28 in city driving. I have a 6 cylinder but it goes like a bat when I need it to. Very comfortable interior and ride. What the heck else could I want?? Just love this car. I get lots of positive comments about my car.

"This is an extraordinary sedan from a price to feature standpoint,ride quality,exterior styling that projects a powerful presence and an interior that has a luxurious fit/finish.The ride quality has a solid,smoothness reminiscent of the large American sedans of yesteryear.Yet,its never floaty,when driven through sharp turns it has an agile response that belies its size/weight.The amenites i.e.adaptive AWD,burled walnut trim,power tilt/telescope steering wheel,voice navigation heated and cooled front/back seats and cupholders,power panoramic sunroof/rear window shade etc,etc are unbelievable at this price point.Frontand rear space/legroom is generous,the seats are power everything and very comfortable.The 8 speed automatic switches between "economy",AWD and accelerating modes flawlessly.The information system incorporates radio,comfort,climate controls,telematics,mp3,navigation etc,and is simple enough to learn literally in 10-15 minutes.Interior has numerous storage areas,3 12V power ports,and REAL burled walnut interior(light frost option) that looks like it came off a Rolls.I have gotten many compliments since I took delivery of this car.P.S. I am not a Chrysler/Fiat employee,or vendor."

"The Chrysler 300 made a huge splash when it was introduced in 2005. In 2011, it was given far more refinement and the mafioso look that captivated Obama and so many others was toned down. Nevertheless, this is still a car than will not be mistaken for any other. The cheap looking one-piece rear windows (typical of Chrysler in the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 21st century, were split so that they would roll all the way down, and the spot-welded joints between the roof panel and the side panels were replaced with laser-welded seams (a hallmark of quality automobiles--Audi, Porsche, VW and Mercedes). The ride is exceptionally quiet, the performance with the V8 Hemi is spectacular, and for a large car weighing more than two tons, the handling is commendable. Although the redesigned 300 has been somewhat ignored by fickle Americans since its 2011 redesign, the car is better than ever. A real gem!"

Editors' note: This editorial includes information that has been corrected.
First Amendment: Government's assault on religious liberty has hit a new low as the IRS settles with atheists who sued the government over an alleged policy of not enforcing restrictions on churches' political activities.
A lawsuit filed by the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) asserted that the Internal Revenue Service ignored complaints about churches' violating their tax-exempt status by routinely promoting candidates from the pulpit.
The lawsuit has now been dismissed without prejudice by a U.S. District Court in response to a joint request by the FFRF and IRS. The joint motion stated that the FFRF was "satisfied that the IRS does not have a policy at this time of non-enforcement specific to churches or religious groups."
The irony of the enforcement question is that it involves the same Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division of the IRS that was once headed by Lois "Fifth Amendment" Lerner and that openly targeted Tea Party and other conservative groups.
Among the questions that the IRS asked of those targeted groups was the content of their prayers.
Those who objected to the monitoring of what is said and done in mosques for signs of terrorist activity have no problem with this one, though monitoring what's said in houses of worship is a clear violation of the First Amendment. Can you say "chilling effect"?
Congress can make no laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion. So it's not clear where the IRS gets off doing just that by spying on religious leaders lest they comment on issues and activities by government that are contrary to or impose on their religious consciences. Our country was founded by people fleeing this kind of government-monitored and mandated theology last practiced in the Soviet Union.
The FFRF cites as its authority the 1954 Johnson Amendment, which states that tax-exempt groups cannot endorse candidates. A 2009 court ruling determined that the IRS must staff someone to monitor church politicking.
The FFRF claims that the IRS has not adhered to the ruling and that the settlement amounts to enforcing both the Johnson Amendment and the court ruling.
But is the Catholic Church "politicking" when it proclaims its "Fortnight for Freedom" dedicated to opposing ObamaCare's contraceptive mandate and the government's forcing schools and charities it considers an extension of its faith to include it in insurance coverage or face crippling fines?
Are Protestant and evangelical churches "politicking" when they participate in "Pulpit Freedom Sunday" this year on Oct. 5 to encourage congregations to "vote their faith," which they consider to be an exercise of free speech and freedom of religion?
The FFRF says that such events at "rogue churches" have "become an annual occasion for churches to violate the law with impunity." But doesn't the Constitution say that Congress can make no such laws?
Rather than "rogue churches," it's the rogue IRS that needs to be stopped.

Leafs Fan Fest
Thank you for making history this weekend as we celebrated our first ever Leafs Nation Fan Fest. Thousands converged on our home to kick-off the 2014-2015 season. You dropped the puck at centre ice, toured the dressing rooms, mixed and mingled with our Leafs family, and celebrated our storied past with a ring ceremony honouring our 1960's Stanley Cup Champions. You also stood tall as we unveiled our statue, Legends Row, a tribute to some of the greatest Leafs of all-time. As we near our Centennial season in 2017, this weekend served as a reminder that we have the most incredible fan base in all of sports. Our utmost appreciation goes out to you, Leafs Nation, for making this weekend one we won't soon forget.

Is this normal? Black Bean Plants turning yellow
Hello everyone! Longtime reader, first time poster. I live in Indianapolis and planted black, navy, pinto and kidney beans in my Garden Tower Project container with about 10 plants each around the sides and on May 20th. They are growing great, especially the black and navy with long healthy looking pods. The others are vining and just started growing pods about 3 weeks ago or so. I'm growing them to dry. The last few days it has been in the low to mid 90's with the deck temp reaching 100 or over but the area gets sun from 11am to 2pm and 4pm to 7pm so it gets a break. The yellowing of the leaves and pods started slightly along the bottom rows first but not so bad until I noticed this morning the pods too are yellowing on all of my black and navy plants. I've been taking pictures pretty much daily of the whole container and some close ups. Not sure how to post multiples so I'll start with today's. I'm new at growing beans so I don't know if this is happening because they are reaching their end or if it is a disease. My other beans are still nice and green but I noticed something strange on one of the leaves. I'll post a pic of it too. Thanks for your help and look forward to your insightful responses. If there is another thread that addresses this please post a link. Thanks.
