The Eagle's Nest Restaurant Review: One of the most romantic spots in the city, this 22nd-floor restaurant offers a panoramic view of Indianapolis as it revolves 360 degrees each hour. Sip a cocktail and savor the atmosphere over escargots with wild rice and pesto butter, followed by a game entrée of a rack of elk, crispy duck quarter or peppercorn-crusted bison tenderloin. Not feeling adventurous? Pan-seared salmon and roasted chicken breast with savory bread pudding are equally tasty. Linger over a brandy or Kahlúa with coffee and a warm slice of apple strudel, topped with vanilla ice cream.

Developer: RhinoScript
Summary: Discuss efficient VBScript array comparison.
I need to take two collections of items and determine how many of those items had the same name. I am currently using this method for comparison:
intSame = 0 For Each strFirst In arrFirst For Each strSecond In arrSecond If StrComp(strFirst, strSecond, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then intSame = intSame + 1 Exit For End If Next Next
This method, although straightforward, is extremely slow. Is there anything I can do to speed this up?
Let's say there were 5000 items in arrFirst, 3000 items in arrSecond, and 1500 of them had the same value. Every one of the 3500 unsuccessful searches checked all 3000 arrSecond items, and the 1500 successful searches on average checked 1500 arrSecond items each. Each time through the inner loop does one loop iteration and one string comparison. Add all those up and you get millions of function calls to determine this count. Now each individual function call was only taking a few microseconds, but all of these calls adds up!
Try building a faster lookup table rather than doing a full search through the collection every time.
Set objLookup = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") For Each strFirst In arrFirst Call objLookup.Add(strFirst, 0) ' 0 = some useless value Next For Each strSecond In arrSecond If objLookup.Exists(strSecond) Then intSame = intSame + 1 Next
Which is much, much faster. That's only a couple of thousand function calls. Thus, we at have good reason to believe that this is going to be several times faster.

Police say a man armed with metal bar or pipe has been accused of attacking three fellow residents at a South Texas assisted living facility.
The Cameron County Sheriff's Department says 28-year-old Brandon Schmitt of Harlingen was in custody Monday on three counts of burglary of a habitation. Bond has been set at $150,000.
Jail records did not list an attorney for Schmitt, who was arrested Friday at Villa Residential Care in Harlingen. Details on why he lives at the facility weren't released.
KRGV-TV reports all three victims are women.
Police say the victims were transported to a hospital. Further details on their conditions were not immediately available.
A message left with the assisted living facility was not immediately returned Monday to The Associated Press.

Gant and Pinckney celebrated
Pineville native Lillian Gant and Kingstree native Sherrie Pinckney, both of Charleston, were honored during Sunday Worship Services at the New Bethel R. E. Church in Charleston on Jan. 13.
Both ladies were celebrating birthday milestones.
Mrs. Gant was celebrating her 79th year of life, while Sherri Pinckney was celebrating her 70th.
The ladies were acknowledged by church Bishop and Rector, the Right Rev. William J. White of St. Stephen.
Following a most moving and invigorating worship service, family, friends, church officers and members joined the ladies in various celebratory settings.
Elizabeth Hunt Alston
Elizabeth Hunt Alston, daughter of the late Sadie Theirse Hunt, formerly of Pineville, served as a panelist on the Charleston YWCA's "A Meeting of Great Minds" MLK Celebration on Jan. 17 at the Brith Sholom Beth Israel in Charleston.
The program was co-sponsored by the YWCA of Greater Charleston and Brith Sholom Beth Israel. Both groups networked among key constituents in advance of the event, sharing information, with the intent of building an informative program open to the public.
Panelists included national civil rights leader the Rev. Nelson B. Rivers III; educator, historian and consultant Elizabeth Hunt Alston; attorney and civic leader Judge Arthur C. McFarland; nationally acclaimed civil rights attorney Armand Derfner; longtime civic pillar Joan Warshauer Fox; and education administrator Andrew HaLevi, who served as panel moderator.
All panelists were highly accomplished in their fields and most of them have been featured in national media outlets.
Historic ties between Black and Jewish groups have achieved impressive results, and the panel discussion delved into how this once overt coalition effectively functions in today's society, from the courthouse to the White House.

This might be a reason to rethinking buying up beaten-down shares of Facebook. Salesforce is reportedly purchasing Buddy Media, the Facebook ad-targeting technology company, for $800 million, and supposedly beating out Google in the deal, says Peter Kafka of All Things Digital.
Though that's a trifle amount compared to Facebook's current $62 billion market capitalization, it shows interest in (and the value of) the social network to big brands.
This comes at a time of some controversy and skepticism in the Facebook ad space. General Motors announced it was pulling ads from Facebook the same week the company debuted on Wall Street. Now it seems that decision was based on the social network's unwillingness to meet G.M.'s demands for bigger, splashier ads. My colleague Jeff Bercovici details the back and forth here.
So far ad targeting on Facebook feels unsophisticated and that's an area a company like Buddy Media looks to improve. Facebook ads are more targeted than most places online with the big exception of Google's search and email products. But even that better than average targeting isn't yielding superb click through rates. We click on our friends' vacation photos, not advertisements. And so Facebook or companies like Buddy Media have to figure out more ways to get not only our attention, but our clicks.
It is worth noting that the only ad-marketing more successful than Google ads is email. As Scott Dorsey, the CEO of ExactTarget, put it to me last week: "It might not be the buzz right now, but email is the work horse of online marketing, by far." ExactTarget does primarily email marketing, but also helps brands manage campaigns on Facebook.
Salesforce's CEO Marc Benioff has been an early cheerleaders of all things social with his own Facebook like offering for businesses, called Chatter, as well as his purchase of social network listening tool site Radian6 last year.
Buddy Media would seem to give Salesforce.com customers interesting ways of finding and directly targeting potential customers. Beauty brand L'Oreal used Buddy Media to embed product ads on the Facebook pages of salons. This generated 21 million impressions from 6,000 salon sites with 1.7 million clients, per Buddy Media. Pretzel Crisps ran coupon promotions online using Buddy Media and doubled its own Facebook fan total. Redemption rates on a "buy one, get one free" coupon averaged 95%.
If the deal happens, it will be interesting to see how Benioff and Salesforce.com broaden these social offerings. Buddy Media would seem to be well suited for a top marketing executive, but Benioff may see the functionality as possibly useful for the average sales rep at a company. In other words, the guy who really knows his customers and could use new ways to reach them more regularly, online.
Salesforce wouldn't comment on the deal, for now.

Pastor from Pakistan to speak at Christian Business Association luncheon
CORPUS CHRISTI - On Feb. 6, 1997, Mujahid El Masih was awaiting the birth of his second child in Pakistan when he received word Pakistani police and thousands of Muslims were attacking villages where he, a Christian pastor, had ministered.
Once a radical militant who was willing to die as a martyr for Islam, Masih had given his life to Christ at age 25. He'd then gone on to Bible college and, upon graduating, planted churches in Pakistan.
Now churches were being burned to the ground, along with homes and Bibles. All because of an accusation that Christians had desecrated a Quran, which is considered to be the sacred holy book of the Muslim people.
Masih had been born and raised in Pakistan, a country that is mostly Muslim. He had converted from Islam to Christianity and felt he could not live in that country given the unrest at the time.
After the U.S. Embassy turned down their initial appeal for visas, God impressed upon Masih and his wife to fast and pray. They did. Three days later, they returned to the Embassy and, without any questions, were told to come back for their passports in a few days.
"We literally felt Jesus walking with us," said Masih, 45. "At the time we didn't have a single cent in our pocket to pay visa fees or purchase plane tickets to the United States. We just believed that God was going to provide."
God did provide, and Masih currently travels the U.S. sharing his testimony of God's faithfulness.
Masih will be the guest speaker at a luncheon hosted by the Christian Business Association on Feb. 28 at the Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz Center, where he will share some of his testimony and discuss Islam and Christianity, and the comparisons and contrasts between the two.
"(Masih) is a very devout Christian who connects with people, and he brings an educated awareness of the differences between the Islamic and the Christian faith," said CBA board member Dr. Keith Hood.
Cost to attend the luncheon is $15 with a reservation and $20 at the door. Reservations must be made by noon Feb. 26.
Masih also is scheduled to speak during the 10 a.m. service March 3 at Rock City Church, 3401 Santa Fe St.
What: Christian Business Association Luncheon
Where: Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz Center, 402 Harbor Drive
When: 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 28
Cost: $15 with a reservation; $20 at the door

There was a moment, maybe a few days actually, where America watched the silhouettes of U2 raging from the TV screen and said "What's that song?" Hard to imagine that the earth-shaking "Vertigo" was a mystery tune for a while, but one thing's certain: it became known damn quick. Those iTunes campaigns have introduced us to some very cool tracks.
The latest is Feist's wildly catchy "1,2,3,4." Though the Canadian indie chanteuse isn't as well known as Bono, her stock is on the rise. During the last few days, the Web search queries for "iPod nano song" and "iPod nano commercial" have
tripdupled risen significantly. Yes, the world is getting a grip on this occasional member of the acclaimed Broken Social Scene. The quickest way to fall into Feistville, however, is to check our You Oughta Know pages, where vids, tour dates and lots of other info lives. And if you're seeking a sweet live take on "1,2,3,4" and other Feistian ditties, come down to our "Unplugged" session. You're probably wondering what she's knows about music, too, right? A couple months ago we gave her a blindfold test. She did just fine.
What's your favorite song by Feist?

Is there documentation (and maybe even a library) on the content of the stream? If a file is opened, written, and closed (but no fsync): is there any indication that the file is now 'done'? Is there a limit on the number of mirror-read-streams that can be opened against any single PFS? (I'm wondering if this would efectively give me something akin to a whole-PFS inotify or similar: one of the challenges with that is always to know when data writes are completed on a file that has been updated in a number of operations) Thanks James

New York, N.Y. - November 26, 2007- On November 29 at 10:00PM (ET/PT) MTV viewers will watch Vanessa and Angela Simmons become the newest members of the Girl Scout family! On this episode of "Run's House", cameras follow Vanessa and Angela Simmons - daughters of Rev. Run (aka Joseph Simmons of Run-DMC) as they meet with the Girl Scouts for the first time, discover the opportunities available for giving back and encourage others to join the organization.
Viewers will have the chance to follow Vanessa and Angela online through their official Girl Scouts page- www.girlscouts.org/vanessaandangela- as they spread the word on Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy Programs at Girl Scouts. The Simmons sisters, Rev Run and their mom Justine, a Girl Scout alumna, have recorded a variety of television Public Service Announcements (PSAs) and interviews for the cause.
"There is a real lack of people encouraging young ladies to be leaders," says Vanessa Simmons, on her new role at the Girl Scouts. "Promoting entrepreneurship and financial literacy is important. Girls need to be business-minded so we have more female leaders in the world." Adds Angela Simmons, "And starting now is the best thing girls can do. Selling cookies is a business and you develop those entrepreneurial skills at a young age."
"It's hard to find positive images for girls in the mainstream media," says Kathy Cloninger, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA. "That's why we are proud to partner with the Simmons family. Vanessa and Angela Simmons have demonstrated what being a positive role model is all about. We hope they will encourage other young professionals to volunteer at the Girl Scouts- whether it's once a month, on weekends, or whatever your schedule allows. Our girls need role models and positive mentors like Vanessa and Angela in their lives."
About Run's House Season 4
At Run's House the laughs, drama and excitement never seem to end. Rev. Run and his wife Justine continue to manage a very bustling household and keep the lives of their 5 children as normal as possible. This season the eldest sibling Vanessa, 24, lands her first acting role on the day-time soap opera "Guiding Light" and finds that perfecting her craft is harder than she thought. Angela, 20, sets her sights on expanding her current magazine insert into a bona-fide fashion/entertainment magazine. The Simmons sisters also look into expanding their sneaker company Pastry into a lifestyle brand complete with apparel. The full season 3 of Run's House reached over 55.4 million viewers across MTV and ranked #1 in its time period among females 12-34.
Watch Vanessa and Angela join Girl Scouts on MTV's hit reality show Run's House, Thursday, November 29, at 10pm (et/pt); Girl Scout TV PSAS, Exclusive footage and more at

"I've never talked to the media about it, and I prefer to keep it that way," says the frail voice over the phone. "It's not something that should be publicized."
But try telling that to the residents on Roanoke Drive, where rumors persist that the "Exorcist house" remains a portal to the netherworld.
Next-door neighbor Jean Kustura tells how the young couple living in the house years earlier complained of the northwest bedroom -- where the exorcism is said to have occurred -- being eerily cold and drafty.
Greg LaFontain, a Bel-Nor neighbor on nearby Bellerive Drive, recalls the time he and his wife, Elizabeth, toured the house years ago when it was up for sale. Upon ascending the stairs an illness swept over Elizabeth, who ran from the house. When her husband joined her on the front lawn, Elizabeth was adamant that they not purchase the home.
Mark Willingham has heard all the tales and laughs them off.
From 1991 to 1999 he and his wife, Diane, lived at the home before moving to the Central West End and later to a house in mid-county. A no-nonsense insurance adjuster, Willingham says he learned of the home's occult past only after he purchased it.
"Sure, it came as quite a shock," he recalls. But Willingham maintains that nothing out of the ordinary ever occurred in the house while he lived there, and he assures future homeowners that they, too, have nothing to fear.
"We loved that house," he adds wistfully. "Way I see it, the place was blessed so many times during the exorcism, it's probably the safest home in all St. Louis."

Not a great weekend to be a fan if Florida's basketball teams are your thing. First off, I don't know if it's karma or what for flip-flopping University of Florida coach Billy Donovan, but what the hell is going on up in Gainesville? As if the two straight NIT appearances after back-to-back NCAA championships weren't disappointing enough, now the program appears to be in shambles. First Jai Lucas leaves the team, then Nick Calathes says he's making himself eligible for the NBA draft, then Allan Chaney says he's leaving, and now the Gators' leading rebounder and 2nd leading scorer, forward Alex Tyus, announces he's transferring to an undisclosed school for an undisclosed reason. What!? And for good measure, one of their 2009 signees, DeShawn Painter, already backed out of his letter of intent earlier this month. As the Gainesville newspaper questioned on Saturday, is Billy losing all control or taking control? Whichever it is, his players clearly can't stand him and the program appears to be in chaos. This time the blame can't be put on Noah, Horford, Brewer, and the rest all going pro at the same time two years ago.
The pro news was even more disheartening. The Miami Heat got absolutely destroyed by the Atlanta Hawks, managing to score only 64 points in their playoff opener. MVP candidate and NBA leading scorer Dwyane Wade was held to 19 points, 11 below his average. How ugly must that have been for you Heat fans out there? But even more inexcusable was what the Orlando Magic managed to pull off yesterday. Orlando and its 59 wins and homecourt advantage and 3-0 regular season record against the mediocre Philadelphia 76ers coughed up an 18 point lead late in the 3rd quarter like the fowlest hairball imaginable and blew it bigtime, losing 100-98 on a great shot with 2 seconds left. The Magic had been 48-4 with a lead heading into the 4th quarter, and 52-1 when leading with 5 minutes to play. But not on Sunday. Philly roared back with a 35 point 4th quarter by shooting a blistering 74% and taking advantage of every bit of Orlando's shoddy defense.
Maybe Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis are more injured than we're hearing. Maybe it's the Sports Illustrated jinx since Magic superstar big man Dwight Howard was on the cover last week (though he certainly did his part with 31 points, 16 rebounds, and 2 blocks--pretty awesome). Maybe they were overconfident. Whatever the reasons, the hometown boys better get their shit together and play like they're capable of beginning Wednesday night's Game 2, or this "magical" run deep into the playoffs will be over before it's barely even started.

Google says he's a Master Franchisee. MASTER Franchisee, mark you. Presumably the arch-nemesis of the Doctor Franchisee. Not sure about this regeneration, though. He might want to "accidentally" get in the way of a Dalek's death-ray or something and see if the next one is any better.

Top Ten Japan Classic Adventures
Snowfall is Nagano's raison d'être—as you might expect from the venue of the 1998 Winter Olympics. The area—comprised of 22 resorts and 40 miles of runs—might actually discourage the light at heart. Twice the size of Vail, the Shiga Koen is Japan's skiing and snowboarding Mecca, where everyone from the local butcher to Tokyo TV stars go for a weekend getaway. For the hardcore snow bunny, the area's courses feature deep snow runs through pine forests. For relaxed types, there are enjoyable roller-coaster-like runs that weave back and forth between lifts. Spend a day taking in the dips, then top it off with a bowl of noodles and a soak in an open-air onsen (hot spring bath) at one of the many lodges tucked away in the pines.

text: Color Club First Looks Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "blue green metallic." This is an incredibly rich, inky blackened navy blue with bluish-teal micro-shimmer. The way the shimmer is catches the light makes the polish look like it's glowing on the nails. NARS Night Flight has larger blue shimmer. MAC Biker Blue is bluer with larger shimmer. Rescue Beauty Lounge Under the Stars has much larger shimmer (more like particle glitter) that is sparse.

1 answer
A:It is intended to sit on the skin for at least 10 minutes so that your skin can get the full effects of the deep cleansing, but it does have aduki beans to scrub, so it will also scrub your skin if you want to try it that way.Answered on 7/31/2015 by Haley from Lush Direct
Q:I just used this product and noticed it is almost one month past the expiration date. When purchasing, I didn't realize how quick it would go bad otherwise I would have not bought it considering I still have 3/4 of a container left. Are there any harmful effect of the use of this product after expiration? Should I expect a rash or anything? Or is it still ok to use?Asked on 7/23/2015 by B
2 answers
A:I'v used mine past the expiration date. Nothing really happens that is
harmful. If anything it just might not work as well. I would try and use it
as fast as possible though. I say 2 months past and you're still okay.
After 2 months, or if it starts to change colors, I would toss it. Save
your pots for free face masks! Mask of Mag works wonders on my skin and I
love it! I use it 2-3 times a week.Answered on 7/28/2015 by Anonymous
A:You can think of the expiry date as an optimal benefits time frame. Although it's best to use the product within this time frame, there's no problem using it a few months past.Answered on 7/25/2015 by Myriam from Lush Direct
Q:Do you have to refrigerate this product?Asked on 7/22/2015 by Franny

4 answers
A:We can most definitely give you a sample for Mask of Magnaminty! You will just have to ask for one if you're in one of our shops or request for one when you're processing an online order (by clicking the gift option and writing your request).Answered on 7/17/2015 by Pauline
A:It depends on the Lush you go to. I would suggest going to your closest Lush and say you need a sample to make sure it works for your skin.Answered on 7/16/2015 by Lobrown from pleasanton, ca
A:Actually yes they do give free samples. The employee who was helping me recommended the Mask of Magnaminty, but sadly didn't have the small size. She just gave me a little cute jar for me to try if I liked it. Hope this product works for you!Answered on 7/16/2015 by Jordan! from Lowell, Ma

Q:Can i use this if I have oily skin? And if this is a mask why is it grouped with facial cleaners ? and which is a better face mask, brazened honey or this?Asked on 6/24/2015 by Adia from Philippines
1 answer
A:You can definitely use this if you have oily skin! It does a great job to reach deep into your pores to pull out any impurities and leave your skin super cleansed. It is grouped with the cleansers and not with the masks because it is not a Fresh Face mask because you can purchase it online and it does not need to be refrigerated. I can't say which one is better as it really depends on your skin. This one lasts 4 months, and it is still very effective, but Brazened Honey has super fresh ingredients to pull out grime.Answered on 6/25/2015 by Haley from Lush Direct
Q:what do you mean i shouldnt use it 5-10 min?Asked on 6/23/2015 by esther

Q:Is it okay even when my face gets all tight after like 15 min? Is it a bad thing when my face gets all tight ?Asked on 6/16/2015 by esther
1 answer
A:Yes, that's completely normal! It's suppose to tighten your pores and clean them out. You should not be keeping on your skin for about 5-10 minutes!Answered on 6/19/2015 by Pauline
Q:Hello, I recently received my Amazing first order from LUSH, ♥, But my mask of magnaminty was only filled a little more than 75% of the way, with a large gap on the left side all the way to the bottom. Am I able to receive a few samples of the mask to make up for the amount missing?Asked on 6/14/2015 by Lanae from Mesa, AZ
1 answer
A:Our potted products are all filled by weight, so it is possible that it may have just moved around in shipment in such a way that created gaps. That said, if you don't think this is the case, give us a call at 1-888-733-5874, send us some pictures, and we can look into this for you!Answered on 6/20/2015 by Sal
Q:If my mask expired jan 5th but its not even halfway used, should I just throw it out or finish the mask? Because it would be a really inconvenient to loose soo much productAsked on 1/11/2015 by Valeria from Guatemala
1 answer
A:Hi there! Thanks for your question!
Just because there is an expiry date doesn't mean the product is needed to be thrown out. Its just a sticker stating when it is most freshest :)Answered on 1/12/2015 by Anonymous
Q:can i leave this on for an hour or two?i have tough skin and it's never dry. also, can i use this daily?Asked on 1/6/2015 by euphoria from co
1 answer
A:Hi there! Thanks for your question.
It is totally up to you how long you want to leave the mask on, I'd say it starts to get pretty tight and dry after about 20 minutes.
And yes you can use it daily, but I wouldnt suggest using it twice a day, because you dont want to over-exfoliate your skin!Answered on 1/13/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Could I use this product not only as a mask, but as a cleanser as well?Asked on 1/3/2015 by Ali from Columbus, OH

Yes, Mask of Magnaminty is a face mask, but you can also use it as a cleanser by not leaving it on to dry! It will still work it's magic :)Answered on 1/17/2015 by Anonymous
A:i think so, i don't think it would have any bad effects. it's not going to remove makeup though, otherwise i would use it as a cleanser :)Answered on 1/6/2015 by euohoriaa from FC, colo
Q:Is it okay to use this mask everyday following with the ocean sea salt cleanser? or is that too harmful?Asked on 12/19/2014 by Milad
2 answers
A:Hi there! Its totally depending on your skin type. I'd try to limit it to 2-4 times a week. You could also be removing healthy skin cells by exfoliating too much and it might irritate your skin.Answered on 12/31/2014 by Anonymous
A:I'd limit both to 2-3 times a week depending on skin type. Once a week if you have dry or sensitive skin. You may be removing healthy skin cells by exfoliating too often and it could irritate your skin. It will disrupt the protective layer of your skin and make it more sensitive to the uv light.Answered on 12/19/2014 by Anonymous
Q:after mask, do you still put your reagular cream or jsut leave it and go to sleep?Asked on 11/30/2014 by Crystal from United States
3 answers
A:It is up to you to choose what regime that you use for your skin. It would be dependent on your concerns and what you are looking to fix or how you choose to pamper your self.
Mask of Magnaminty isn't technically a daily 'facial wash'; it's actually a deep cleansing face and back mask.
China clay and fresh peppermint reach deep down to pull the debris from your pores, giving you that delightful tingly-clean sensation.
We add loads of aduki beans to exfoliate flaky or dry skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey to soothe. Our inventors created Mask of Magnaminty to be the 'ultimate face mask', intense but not harsh or abrasive on the skin. We recommend using Mask of Magnaminty weekly to keep the skin in good condition.Answered on 12/3/2014 by Jenean from LUSH DIRECT
A:You can use a cream, It leaves my face very soft after i rinse it off, but by habit i put on my night cream. It depends on your skin type. If you're normally dry, Use a cream for added moisture (which i do in my case) but if you're normally oily, i would just rinse off and go to bed, no cream.
Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy® Note 4.Answered on 11/30/2014 by Jiannama from NY
A:I normally just take it off and then put on moisturizer because my skin
gets irritated easily so...yeah. Just the mask and then moisturizer. Hope
that helps!Answered on 11/30/2014 by Anonymous
Q:How do you know if the product has gone bad? Mine isn't suppose to expire for another 2 months, but when I opened it yesterday, there was some kind of liquid inside, and after leaving the mask on for 20 minutes, it was still fresh. It didn't harden like it usually does. Is this product still safe to use?Asked on 10/17/2014 by Xiomara from United States
1 answer
A:It is perfectly fine to use, that liquid is more than likely just water. The same thing happens to mine and it still works wonderfully!Answered on 11/14/2014 by Anonymous

Country Inn Cottages: There's an old-style motel or inn in the city, but we heard the cottages on the ranch were much more attractive and liked the country atmosphere we found there. 830-997-2185. 3319 Lower Crabapple Road, Fredericksburg. www.mycountryinn.com/ cottages. Note that you'll need to stop by the inn on the west end of Fredericksburg to register and pick up your key for the cottages.
Tin Star Ranch: Far out of town, with the Old West town facade and wildlife to entertain us. 830-685-3464 or (toll-free) 877-782-7379. 456 Tin Star Road. www.tinstarranch.com. Lone Star Palace provides space for special events.
Coyote Cabin at Double Deer Ranch: One of three cabins with plenty of privacy on this working ranch, the Coyote Cabin was perfect for a couple and full of contemporary charm. Book through Gästehaus Schmidt Reservation Service at 231 W. Main St. or call 830-997-5612 or (toll-free) 866-427-8374. www.doubledeer ranch.com.
Where to eat
Vaudeville: This modern furnishings store at street level has a gallery upstairs and a terrific bistro downstairs with pastries, quiche, pizza, wine, coffee, tea and much more. We loved the margarita pizza here and cheese sampler for an appetizer. 230 Main St. The V Supper Club offers three gourmet events a week on the main level courtyard: Monday night gourmet dinner, Friday lunch and Sunday brunch. (Reservations needed.) www.vaudeville-living.com. 830-992-3234.
Otto's German Bistro: Fairly new to the dining scene in Fredericksburg, Otto's is a different take on the German food you may be used to. Yes, there's a Wurst Plate (the menu changes weekly though) and you might just as well find pan-grilled salmon or gnocchi. A must-try appetizer at this upscale spot: the Flammkuchen — German flatbread with cambozda, gruyère, crème fraiche, carmelized onions and pesto. Wine pairings are suggested with menu items. The homemade cheesecake with strawberries was a great (decadent) dessert to split. 316 E. Austin St., a block off Main Street. ottosfbg.com. 830-307-3336.
Silver Creek Beer Garden & Grille: I went for the German sausage plate and hubby had the sauerbraten short ribs. The menu here offers a good variety and there's live music on the porch Fridays and open mike night Mondays. 310 E. Main St. www.silvercreekfbg.com. 830-990-4949.
When you first drive into the Double Deer Ranch about five miles north of Fredericksburg, you spot the back of the Coyote Cabin on the side of the road and wonder if you've come to the right spot. With only tiny windows high on the rectangular stone box from this perspective, this doesn't look like your traditional Hill Country cabin with a porch and rocking chairs. It's a stone barn.
Hold your horses before you make a judgment, though.
Park, walk around the left end of the building and behold — two big beautiful doors on the wide porch, with two red retro metal chairs sitting on one end in front of a big American flag draped on the wall. Inside, more surprises await. Contemporary furnishings that look like they're right out of Red, one of the hippest shops on Fredericksburg's Main Street. Two modern leather chairs face the double-sided fireplace with a set of nesting tables I'm sure I saw in the window at Red earlier that day. Nice graphic paintings decorate the bedroom part of the cabin and electric guitars hang on another wall. The bedding is lush and colorful on the king-size bed with reading lights on each side. I KNOW the oval clock in the kitchenette is from Red because I went back to the store after we left and bought a turquoise version to take home. A large whirlpool tub and shower are on the other side of the fireplace. A sliding barn door gives privacy in the bathroom.
We've stayed in a number of B&Bs in Fredericksburg — over the bakery, in a compound where our second-floor room featured Southwestern furnishings and a small balcony with a friendly cat, and at several log cabins. But this was our first modern cabin, made of stone (private and well insulated), with furnishings that might be just as appropriate for a New York loft. We loved it.
Outside, we spotted a deer in the valley at dusk, but missed the pair of miniature donkeys that roam the property. And when it grew dark, we enjoyed star-watching from chairs on the front lawn.
Yes, you can find just about any kind or style of B&B around Fredericksburg to suit your taste or mood — something to remind you that you've escaped the city to enjoy the change of scenery and wildlife.
Two other recent stays were at the Country Inn Cottages and the Tin Star Ranch — both a good drive out of Fredericksburg.
Our Cabin 23 at the Country Inn Cottages sat on the end of a ring of similar stone and lumber historic buildings from the 1800s, about five minutes out of town off Lower Crabapple Road. We arrived at sunset, surprised to see a large herd of deer foraging in the golden light as we pulled into the 200-acre ranch. As we unpacked our luggage, we noticed a few fire pits glowing in front of our neighbors' cabins. A fruitless search for firewood near our cabin to start our own little bonfire or fire in the fireplace prompted us to watch for fallen tree limbs along the dark roadside on the drive back into town for dinner. (Next time, we noted, we'd arrive earlier to hunt for firewood before dark, or bring our own.)
A sign on the fireplace advised us to crack a window when we made a fire to get ventilation going to pull the smoke out of the chimney. We did, but the cool air on this winter night made the cabin a little chilly. And the cabins' proximity to another was a reminder that conversations would need to be in quiet tones.
But with a little Christmas tree in the corner and a cactus wreath on the wooden door, the cool cabin seemed appropriate — and nothing that couldn't be overcome with a glass of wine and a blanket in front of the fire.
A walk around the cottages at daylight introduced us to a variety of amenities — including an outdoor fireplace and sitting area, and a hot tub. But with our king-size bed, mini-kitchen, plasma TV offering HBO and Showtime, Jacuzzi tub, big shower, Wi-Fi and charming rustic décor, we were happy to stay in, sit for a while in rocking chairs on our porch, and enjoy a couple's night and the country life for a while. Since our stay, a new special event lodge opened (to host weddings, galas and such) and the Cottages now offer a variety of upgrades (firewood, flowers, chocolates, cheese plates, Champagne and even massages, wine tours and helicopter tours). Phone ahead 48 hours before your arrival to add any of these.
Last spring, relatives from Tennessee visited, and our trip to Luckenbach and Fredericksburg ended at the Tin Star Ranch, 6 miles from Enchanted Rock and about 13 miles north of Fredericksburg. We rented two cabins — guesthouses built in the Old West tradition from the 1880s with antique furnishings, Jacuzzi tubs, large showers, stove top, microwave, refrigerator and satellite TV. Big porches and rustic chairs provided a nice view of the property's pastures of deer, longhorns, bison and horses.
The Tin Star Ranch also has a special event facility and has a nearby Old West town façade with a jail and Alamo replica, so you don't have to stray far from your country cabin for a good photo opportunity. We had a picnic for dinner, but when two early birds in our bunch made a breakfast run into town in the morning, we worried that we wouldn't see them until lunch. But a breakfast outdoors around the picnic table was well worth the wait.
We've noticed a trend during recent B&B stays. It's been a while since we were greeted with a quaint basket of banana bread or muffins and juice for breakfast at our cabin. Instead, we find coupons for one of a few places that serve breakfast in downtown Fredericksburg. That gives us more options for breakfast, but also leads to an earlier departure. And often we just want to linger in our charming little getaway spot as long as we can.

A veteran Senate aide with tax-policy expertise has been tapped by the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to serve as its staff director, committee co-chairs Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, announced on Tuesday.
Mark Prater, 52, is the deputy staff director and minority chief tax counsel on the Senate Finance Committee, where he has worked for more than two decades.
"The know-how and experience Mark brings to this difficult task is exactly what we agreed must be the top priority for the staff serving all the members of this committee," Murray and Hensarling said in a statement announcing their decision.
Prater is well-liked and widely praised on both sides of the aisle. "We look forward to working with him and are confident that his approach and expertise will be valuable as we weigh the difficult but necessary choices ahead," the co-chairs said.
Prater's expertise extends beyond taxes to other areas under the Finance Committee's jurisdiction including health care, which is a top target for finding savings. In 2001, Prater helped guide the Bush tax cuts through the committee, and he has worked to abolish the alternative minimum tax.
He has had a strong working relationship with Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., as well as Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, formerly Finance's ranking Republican. In a statement, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., heaped praise on Prater. "Mark is one of the brightest, most knowledgeable, trusted and professional staffers on Capitol Hill," he said.
According to the law establishing the panel, the joint committee must hold its first meeting by Sept. 16. The deficit committee is facing a tight clock that requires the 12 lawmakers tapped to serve on the panel with finding $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction measures over ten years by Thanksgiving. When Congress returns next week, the panel has just eleven weeks to complete their task or face unpopular across-the-board spending cuts.

Rob and Robin give special attention to street carts in today's "Underground Gourmet," but they're not the only ones showing love to the humble vendors. Ramin Bahrani's Man Push Cart, currently doing boffo business at the Angelika Film Center, has done for Pakistani street vendors what The Bicycle Thief did for poster hangers. The drama, which centers around a roll-and-coffee seller with a mysterious past, comes on the heels of the Vendy Awards and increasing attention to legendary New York street vendors like midtown's Muhammed Rahman or Jackson Heights' "Arepa Lady."
1. Ahmed, Man Push Cart
His proletarian struggles earn our respect, but it's his rock-star past that earns our love.
2. Lemonade Vendor, Duck Soup
Edgar Kennedy's nameless character, tormented by a clearly insane Harpo Marx, remains one of film's iconic figures of suffering.
3. Tommy, Trees Lounge
He's an unemployed alcoholic who drives an ice-cream truck and molests a 17-year-old Chloë Sevigny. But he's played by Über-mope Steve Buscemi, so we adore him anyway.
4. Derrick, Party Girl
Talk about an unrewarding part: Anthony DeSando's stoic falafel vendor must stand there while Parker Posey riffs and undergoes dozens of costume changes. And for this he left Lebanon?
5. Joe Oramas, The Station Agent
This guy's so likable that even the world's unfriendliest dwarf can't turn him away.
