Planning a spring road trip with a girlfriend that will include an overnight stop somewhere in the vicinity of Birmingham. I was wondering if there were any nearby towns that might be good alternatives to the city. After a long day on the Interstate, it would be nice to stop somewhere with something to offer besides chain hotels and restaurants. A dose of southern charm would be great.
Any suggestions?

Eat at the Highlands Bar and Grill - http://www.highlandsbarandgrill.com/
I'd probably stay at the Hampton Inn in Homewood if I had my choice.
Report Abuse
Marriott ~ Renaissance Birmingham Ross Bridge is a beautiful place to stay.
Eat at Olexas and get some cake it is a must do!! Lunch or late lunch no dinner service.
Report Abuse
Highlands menu does look great!!
Report Abuse
Thanks for the ideas. You guys certainly have good taste!
I looked at the Highlands menu and the Renaissance websites, and both look lovely but too fancy/pricey for this particular overnight stop. The Hampton Inn looks good, though.
More info-- We will have traveled over 600 miles on the Interstate when we get to this stop. While we will be tired and won't have time for exploring, I thought we could make the most of it with a comfy place to sleep and moderate but yummy non-chain meal. I live in Dallas and am burned out on the typical commercial chains, malls, stores, etc. Love seeing something unique to an area, and even enjoy funky as long as it's clean and the area is safe.
The next morning we will head up through Chattanooga on U.S. 59, so it would be nice to spend the night in a location convenient to that route. Like I said, it doesn't have to be right in Birmingham, but that general area puts us where we need to be for the next part of the trip.
I really appreciate your help!

Would there be any good place to spend the night between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham?
Report Abuse
Where are you staying in Chattanooga?
I think you would LOVE staying here - I know I did.
I'm confused. Where is your starting point?
Report Abuse
Starting point is Dallas, headed to a friend's cabin in Blue Ridge, GA. We want to get most of the 800-plus mile drive behind us on the first day, hence the idea to stop in the Birmingham area. We could stop in Tuscaloosa, but since I have been there, it would be interesting to see something different. I was hoping to find kind of a neat, maybe historic area to spend the night and have a good dinner.
The next morning we will drive to Blue Ridge via Chatanooga instead of going through Atlanta. I can only take so much Interstate and have heard the Chatanooga area is beautiful. I will check out your lodging suggestion for a future trip!
Thanks, starrs:}

Where do I begin? First of all, Caren is a wonderful host. She deserves the title "Super Host". Her home is beautiful, clean, and extremely family friendly. The pictures were very accurate. The neighborhood is immaculate, quiet, and modern. The neighbors are friendly as well. The pool - oh the pool! Gorgeous. Caren's home is close to downtown along with everything else. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything Caren! God bless you and your family.
Everything was wonderful..House was great and Caren made out stay very enjoyable. .Thank you
Caren made us feel very welcome by having a breakfast basket there for us and having a list of suggestions for us.
Caren was a gracious and attentive host. The home is exactly as pictured, and the neighborhood is quiet and convenient to downtown. The kitchen was stocked with goodies, and we felt right at home. Caren was easily accessible via text message and responsive to any questions we had. The only challenge was a complex TV system and series of remotes. We opted out of trying to get Pandora to work, so we decided to watch the extensive collection of DVDs. Thanks for everything Caren!!
Great house, conveniently located a short drive from downtown. It was super clean and well set up when we arrived. Instructions on where to find things and a description of the neighborhood were very clear! We would definitely stay at Caren's home again. Perfect size for a group of 6 people.
Check in was simple and smooth. Everything was as expected. The house is big and was clean, consistent with pics and description. The location is located 10 minutes from downtown by car and the way is simple.
Caren left us a lot of food and drinks, very gently.
We stayed well and I feel like recommending it for families of groups of colleagues travelling to austin for some events, as we did
Caren made us feel at home and was an incredible host! The neighborhood is great and this is a perfect set-up for a family with young children. Thanks Caren!
About the Host, Caren
We are a young family of 5 who love to travel. By hosting, we're putting money in our "go" account! We love living in Austin, and enjoy getting out in our neighborhood and being so close to all the fun Austin has to offer.

We found Tropical Sky by chance when we were looking for a holiday to the Caribbean and booked 15 nights at the wonderful Soco Hotel in Barbados through them,from where we've just returned.
I was very impressed by their friendliness and professionalism when I contacted them by 'phone and email and they provided the required information immediately,
As we usually book holidays through one or more of the more well-known travel companies I was also very impressed by their more personal "touch" including a quick call to us before the holiday to wish us a good holiday. A simple thing perhaps but the first time I've received a personal call in many years of travelling !
Everything was as described by Tropical Sky and we had a fantastic holiday. I would certainly recommend them highly and would like to use them again.

Welcome to the Star's Immigration page

The Star has launched its Immigration and Diversity Page , an online resource of information, commentary and personal stories documenting Canada's changing immigration landscape.
The page will serve as a public record documenting the country's immigration past, present and future for years to come.
We begin with a special mapping project looking back at the country's immigration patterns.
The first series of interactive maps and charts shows the number of immigration applications received, and rejected, from every country around the world over a 10-year period, from 2001 to 2011 — with many countries having a rejection rate hovering around 45 per cent.
By clicking on different maps, individual years and countries, readers can see a change in patterns based not only on Ottawa's fluctuating regulations but also on shifting demand, often depending on overseas war, politics and economics.
In total, Canada received 4,419,163 applications from 2001 to 2011, rejecting 826,781 or an overall 18.7 per cent over the decade.
The highest year for applications was 2001 at 551,510, just prior to changes to the Immigration and Refugee Act introduced by the Liberals in 2002. That same year, 69,451 applications, or about 14.2 per cent, were rejected although some were received in previous years.
The largest number of rejections — 110,349 — took place in 2005, representing a rejection rate of 31.1 per cent.
The data reveals other interesting facts. For instance, only a single application was filed from some countries in a given year, including Greenland, Liechtenstein, Sao Tome and Principe, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
The raw data, provided by Citizenship and Immigration and analyzed by the Star's Aneurin Bosley and Matthew Cole, does not include acceptance rates. It focuses solely on applications and rejections. However, for those who aren't immediately rejected, acceptance for permanent residence is not a forgone conclusion. The immigration process can take several years.
A note about the maps: There are some gaps in the data (that can be downloaded here ), which had to be addressed. For example, there are records where the country of birth was listed as "Africa" or "Asia." These records were removed before the maps were created, because, as noted by Citizenship and Immigration, there is no way to know which country they belong in. As also noted, these numbers are mostly very small, and have a negligible impact on the overall data.
Some other entries have been consolidated. For example, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Mayotte and St. Pierre and Miquelon have been added to France, while Azores and Madeira have been added to Portugal. These groupings are noted in the map hot-spots.
Finally, population numbers are based upon World Bank data .

There are rabbinic voices who have sent the message that the messiah may choose to appear by stepping over the body of a murdered child.19:07 03.08.15 | 0 comments
But he, apparently, is not. If it is so important to him, why doesnt he live there? And why is he apparently in agreement with zionist zealots who order Palestinians out of their homes in Sheik Jarreh? Where was his voice of conscience then? His attack is scurillous and does him no credit. Primo Levi was a far superiour witness to the Holcaust and had a much stronger moral conscience. He did indeed rise above politics and stood for the good of all humanity.

Barnes fakes, Kobe doesn't flinch
Mar 8, 2010, 10:11 AM EDT
I may start rooting for a repeat Lakers/Magic NBA Finals, just so we can get more Matt Barnes and Kobe Bryant. That was the best part of Sunday's game (unless you are a big Magic fan, then you might go with Barnes dagger three after Kobe sagged off him and the Magic getting some revenge with a win thing).
My favorite play came with just over eight minutes left in the third, after a free throw Matt Barnes goes to inbound the ball for the Magic and Kobe follows him over to guard the inbound pass.
Barnes then fakes a pass right at Kobe's head, coming within a few inches of it. And Kobe doesn't even flinch. It's amazing. Watch the video. Then start hoping we get more of these two, because Kobe is right, Barnes is entertaining.
- Li - Mar 8, 2010 at 1:07 PM
Kobe didn't flinch is your story? Well, yeah, I guess when it's all you got. . .
- Kev - Mar 8, 2010 at 2:31 PM
Oh course Kobe isn't gunna flinch it's Matt barnes…. He isn't even half the player Kobe is.
- Lakers#1 - Mar 8, 2010 at 2:48 PM
Come on, Kobe flinch from this guy . . . whats his name . . Batt Marnes or something like that, lol. Who does he think he is, what he think he's on the same level. Thats the only way he's gonna make his name, riding off Kobe's swagger. Kobe:"Get off me Boy"!
- Seriously - Mar 8, 2010 at 5:41 PM
Of course Kobe didn't flinch. He was thinking of raping someone.
- Foul Dwimmerlaik - Mar 21, 2010 at 9:15 AM
Must be the other way around. Maybe you were wishing Kobe was raping you instead…
- Seriously - Mar 24, 2010 at 4:08 PM
…mmmmmmmmmm, nope. I was thinking Kobe is a rapist. Thanks for checking in though.
- Rob - Jul 31, 2010 at 7:37 PM
Are you joking me? Do you know anything about that case? The supposed "victim" went to a local club and bragged about almost having sex with Kobe. In fact, they didn't even have any sexual relations other than some oral foreplay. Get your facts straight you idiot before you go posting something that stupid.
By the way, the case was dropped because there was no evidence supporting the "victim's" claims.
Stop trolling and get a life.

Afghan women set themselves on fire to escape brutality: report
More Afghan women are choosing suicide to escape the violence and brutality of their daily lives, says a new human-rights report prepared by Canada's Foreign Affairs Department.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
OTTAWA –More Afghan women are choosing suicide to escape the violence and brutality of their daily lives, says a new human-rights report prepared by Canada's Foreign Affairs Department.
The 2008 annual assessment paints a grim picture of a country where violence against women and girls is common, despite rising public awareness among Afghans and international condemnation.
"Self-immolation is being used by increasing numbers of Afghan women to escape their dire circumstances and women constitute the majority of Afghan suicides," said the report, completed in November 2009.
The document was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
The director of a burn unit at a hospital in the relatively peaceful province of Herat reported that in 2008 more than 80 women tried to kill themselves by setting themselves on fire, many of them in the early 20s.
Many of those women died, the report said.
The frank evaluation of the plight of women was written against the backdrop of international debate last year over the Afghanistan government's so-called rape law.
The legislation, aimed at courting votes in the minority Shiite community, legalized rape within a marriage. It prompted outrage in Canada and many other countries.
The move was an attempt to codify social and religious practises, but the international condemnation forced the government to review the law. It was eventually enacted with some amendments, although the basic tenets remained unchanged.
"Rape is widely believed to be a frequent occurrence, though its true extent is concealed by under-reporting owing to the social stigma attached to it," says the 31-page partly censored document.
The Afghan practice of "honour killings" has been cited as a major problem by both the Canadian Foreign Affairs Department and the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights.
The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission said it has ``recorded 76 cases of honour killings in 2008, but the actual number is believed by local embassies and NGOs (non-governmental organizations) to be much higher."
A Calgary-based group, Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan, said Ottawa should put more emphasis on the issue as the country approaches the 2011 deadline for the withdrawal of troops.
"Human rights are human rights for a reason. They belong to everyone and they shouldn't be denied to half of the population," said Penny Christensen, the organization's treasurer.
"As Canadians we have a moral and ethical responsibility to support the women of Afghanistan."
She credited the Canadian government for placing special emphasis on improving the lives of women with a series of programs, but said it needs to further encourage the development of Afghan civil society.
The fact the Afghan constitution mandates the participation of women in the country's parliament should be taken as a sign that the situation is not hopeless, Christensen said.
A British study, cited in the Foreign Affairs report, said 87 per cent of Afghan women complained that they were the victims of violence, half of it sexual.
"The report added that 60 per cent of marriages are forced, and 57 per cent of marriages involve girls under the age of 16. Due to both social norms and lack of access to justice, women rarely report widespread abuse against them, particularly rape or sexual abuse."
And there are few places victims can go to escape abuse.
"Some women escaping from domestic violence can only find shelter in prisons, although the creation of women's shelters in some parts of the country now provides an alternative."
There are only 19 women's shelters in Afghanistan.
The Afghan government has sometimes been ambivalent about domestic violence, on the one hand condemning sexual abuse, particularly rape, but then backtracking in some high-profile cases.
President Hamid Karzai personally condemned the August 2008 rape of a 12-year-old girl in Sari Pul province, saying rapists should ``face the country's most severe punishment."
But in a separate case he pardoned two men convicted of gang-raping a woman in Samangan province.
The Afghan government has created special police task forces staffed by female officers to investigate family violence and crimes against children.
But the report notes those female officers often complain they're not allowed to do outreach and must wait for victims to show up at the police station.

The project's goal is to collect a list of iPhone (and Android) compatible pay-as-you-go (PAYG) SIMs from around the world. Since the card is pre-paid, they're useful for someone who will be traveling for a brief time. To make the list, a card must be capable of handling data as well as voice.
For example, in France you can get an Orange card called "Mobicarte," which provides 30 days of unlimited data for 12 euros, or a subscription from LFR called "La carte" which provides unlimited data for 9.90 euros. Voice and text are charge separately on a graduated scale.
Of course, the iPhone 4 has a micro-SIM, and they're more difficult to find on the PYAG shelves. Fortunately, there are ways to make a full-sized SIM fit. We posted about one method not too long ago. Basically, you can buy a kit to help you physically cut a standard SIM down to size. There's also a hardware cutter that resembles a stapler, which all but guarantees a proper cut every time. Plus, it comes with an adapter that will let you re-use the diced card with a full-sized device.
Some SIMs are locked to a given provider. The wiki provides information on how to deal with that, too. The whole thing seems well-curated and timely. Add it to your travel plans and avoid coming home to an iPhone bill equal to one month's salary.

Julia Roberts is one of the most elegant and well-respected actresses working today — the definition of an A-lister. You may have thought she's too dignified to participate in Fallon's never-ending circus of Tonight Show games, but last night the Oscar winner proved she's down for anything, in this case having balls thrown in her face. Stopping by in support of The Normal Heart, her HBO movie that was recently nominated for an Emmy, Roberts offered herself up as a test subject for Fallon's newest game, "Face Balls." As the title implies, faces and balls are involved, as is a slow-motion camera that allows viewers to see the nuances of the contestants' faces as they're smashed with a clear beach ball. Looking incredible in both slow-motion and real time, Roberts rocked it, even cracking a few jokes along the way. Fallon was impressed. Watch below:

LAVAL, QC, Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - A number of media outlets have reported that Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. ("Couche-Tard") (TSX: ATD.A ATD.B) is among a handful of companies rumoured to be pursuing the acquisition of a minority stake in China's Sinopec.
Couche-Tard has no plan to invest in the Sinopec placement at this time. Furthermore, should Couche-Tard have material information to communicate, it would be timely circulated through a press release disclosing the news to the market.
Couche-Tard is the leader in the Canadian convenience store industry. In the United States, it is the largest independent convenience store operator in terms of number of company-operated stores. In Europe, Couche-Tard is a leader in convenience store and road transportation fuel in Scandinavian countries and in the Baltic States while it has a growing presence in Poland.
As of April 27, 2014, Couche-Tard's network comprised 6,241 convenience stores throughout North America, including 4,756 stores with road transportation fuel dispensing. Its North-American network consists of 13 business units, including nine in the United States covering 39 states and the District of Columbia and four in Canada covering all ten provinces. More than 60,000 people are employed throughout its network and at the service offices in North America.
In Europe, Couche-Tard operates a broad retail network across Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark), Poland, the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) and Russia, which comprised 2,258 stores as at April 27, 2014, the majority of which offer road transportation fuel and convenience products while the others are unmanned automated service-stations which offer road transportation fuel only. The Corporation also offers other products, including stationary energy, marine fuel, aviation fuel, lubricants and chemicals. Couche-Tard operates key fuel terminals and fuel depots in eight countries. Including employees at Statoil branded franchise stations, about 17,500 people work in its retail network, terminals and service offices across Europe.
In addition, under licensing agreements, about 4,600 stores are operated under the Circle K banner in 12 other countries worldwide (China, Guam, Honduras, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam and United Arab Emirates) which brings to more than 13,100 the number of sites in Couche-Tard's network.
The statements set forth in this press release, which describes Couche-Tard's objectives, projections, estimates, expectations or forecasts, may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities legislation. Positive or negative verbs such as "believe", "could", "should", "intend", "expect", "estimate", "assume" and other related expressions are used to identify such statements. Couche-Tard would like to point out that, by their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties such that its results, or the measures it adopts, could differ materially from those indicated or underlying these statements, or could have an impact on the degree of realization of a particular projection. Major factors that may lead to a material difference between Couche-Tard's actual results and the projections or expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements include the effects of the integration of acquired businesses and the ability to achieve projected synergies, fluctuations in margins on motor fuel sales, competition in the convenience store and retail motor fuel industries, exchange rate variations, and such other risks as described in detail from time to time in the reports filed by Couche-Tard with securities authorities in Canada and the United States. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, Couche-Tard disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking information in this release is based on information available as of the date of the release.

ETonline reports that the voices of Beatle Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono, wife of the late John Lennon, will be heard on the soundtrack to Judd Apatow's upcoming film THIS IS 40. Ono will sing the song 'I'm Your Angel' while McCartney will croon 'Lunch Box Old Sox.'
News of the two singers performing on the same soundtrack was released only one week after McCartney revealed in an interview that he does not hold the 79-year-old Ono responsible for the break up of the iconic rock band. "She certainly didn't break the group up, the group was breaking up," McCartney told British television's David Frost. "I don't think you can blame her for anything."
The interview will air in full today on Frost's program which airs on the Al Jazeera English TV channel. Apatow's 'This is 40' is set to be released in theaters on December 21, with the soundtrack becoming available on December 11th.

Together at last: Adoptive parents of baby Veronica smile for the cameras they are reunited as a family after two-year custody battle with her biological father
- Baby Veronica was
handed over to her adoptive parents on Monday after a two year custody battle
- The Oklahoma Supreme Court dissolved a temporary court order leaving the child with her father and his family
- Matt and Melanie Capobianco of Charleston, S.C. had resolved to not leave Oklahoma until they went home with the 4-year-old girl
- The Capobiancos and the girl's biological father, Dusten Brown, had fought over custody of the girl for years
The adoptive parents of baby Veronica spent their first full day with the four-year-old girl today after winning a two-year custody battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
A spokeswoman for Matt and Melanie Capobianco said they will not announce when they intend to leave with Veronica, who lived with them for the first two years of her life before a court granted custody to her biological father, Dusten Brown, a member of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. The girl was returned to them Monday.
On Tuesday, the Capobianco family released a statement asking for privacy in a case that has drawn international attention.
Scroll Down for Video
Happy Families: In this photo provided by the Capobianco Family, Veronica, (center), poses for a photo with her adoptive parents, Melanie Capobinco, left, and Matt Capobianco, at an undisclosed location Monday, Sept. 23, 2013
'Despite our differences, and everything that has happened over the last several months, we all love Veronica and want what is best for her,' the family said. 'We are all doing well and our focus now is on healing and getting our life back to normal.'
The custody exchange was made around 7:30 Monday night just minutes from the home that Dusten Brown, Veronica's biological father, was living with his wife Christina Maldonado, according to Cherokee County undersheriff Jason Chennault.
Veronica has been living in the Cherokee Nation with her father, Dusten Brown, and his family since she was 2 years old. Before that, she lived with the South Carolina couple who had taken custody of her shortly after her birth.
Two South Carolina sheriff's deputies and a state Law Enforcement Division agent have arrived in Oklahoma to travel with the family, said Major James Brady of the Charleston County Sheriff's office on Tuesday.
Relieved: Melanie and Matt Capobianco stand side by side before a news conference in South Carolina last month - they have won their long legal battle to gain custody over Baby Veronica
Relieved: Melanie and Matt Capobianco stand side
by side before a news conference on James Island, South Carolina last
month in which they appealed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court to grant them
custody of Baby Veronica
Adopted parents: Matt and Melanie Capobianco were awarded custody of the girl they raised from birth
'Obviously, it's an issue that's created a lot of emotion,' Brady said. 'It helps to have deputies on hand to make sure that they get home safely.'
The Capobiancos had been in Oklahoma for the past month trying to win back custody of Veronica. After the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled in their favor on Monday, Veronica was returned to them by her biological father.
Legal issues and further potential challenges remain in the case, which already has been heard in numerous South Carolina courts and Oklahoma district courts, the high courts of both states, Cherokee tribal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Veronica's biological father, Dusten Brown, faces an extradition order to South Carolina on charges of custodial interference for refusing to hand over Veronica earlier this summer, after her adoption by the Capobiancos was finalized.
Brown is due in court October 3rd for a hearing on those charges.
Decision time: Dusten Brown (second from left)
enters the Cherokee County Courthouse with his wife Robin Brown last
month for a hearing in which he was granted a temporary stay of custody
of his daughter
Cherokee Nation Attorney General Todd Hembree said Brown still has a pending appeal asking the state of Oklahoma not to recognize the adoption, and attorneys advocating for him met on Tuesday to discuss 'a myriad of legal options.'
Brown will ultimately be the one to decide whether to keep fighting for Veronica, Hembree said.
'Dusten makes those calls about what is in Veronica's best interest,' Hembree said. 'It's a situation that no father wants to ever find himself in.'
The Capobiancos arranged a private adoption of Veronica with her birth mother, who is Hispanic, before the child was born in September 2009.
Brown, who was not married to Veronica's biological mother, signed away his parental rights but later said he did not know about the planned adoption.

He contested the adoption under the Indian Child Welfare Act, which aims to prevent the breakup of Indian families, and was granted custody of Veronica by a South Carolina court in 2011.
But the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that the act did not apply in part because Brown had not provided support to the birth mother or the child. South Carolina courts finalized the adoption in July, and Oklahoma courts ordered the transfer of Veronica back to her adoptive parents.
The transfer of the child came hours after the Oklahoma Supreme Court lifted a stay on Monday that had kept Veronica in the state, where she and Brown were living on tribal land in Tahlequah with relatives.
In a statement late on Monday, Hembree said the hand-over of Veronica was emotional but peaceful.
'Our hope is that this chapter has ended and both families can move on,' said Jennifer Cherock, a spokeswoman for the Capobiancos.
