I've never "shown" before, I know there's a registration deal for the official car show portion, I know there are "free" areas most of the motorheads hang out at that isn't officially part of the registered show. I kind of like the unofficial area myself, only 40ish cars fit in that area as opposed to being lost in the crowd of 3000+ cars entered. Besides that, it's right by the hooters and ice cream shop. Just not sure if that's a first come first serve area, of if you have to coordinate with hooters or what.
So I think I can get a little 18"x24 to 30" placard made up with engine mods and a dyno sheet or something....and PWR contact info on it. Anybody else with a PWR modded motor in a LX/LC/Jeep want to try and meet up early enough to take a couple spots and show it all off? I'll find pics of the area I'm talking about, it's typically pretty damn busy there, some monster motors usually end up sitting there the few times I've been.
Does PWR have any freebie give-aways for something like this? business cards, hats, shirts? Or is that too much?
Challenger Mods: PWR 393, Mean Street heads, Procharger D1 pushing 11+psi, SHR Nag1, DSS 1400 axles and drive shaft, SHR trans but with Paramount Dominator and stage2 valve body to finally be error code/limp mode free. BBS CH-R's and custom splitter with 2011 front spoiler. AAC SMD halos, 3K fog lights, white stripes, cervini wing, hotchkis springs, custom 10" sub w/ kicker amp, sequential tail lights.
2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Procharger D1 Supercharger: 10.895 @ 126.720 MPH
that's true, I never put manufacturers stickers on the outside of my car based on "it wasn't free, why should I promote them".....and I guess it could be said the same for a vendor I'm purchasing from. But even though I've paid for everything, I've gotten some great deals from them, and a good amount of help so far. Time has been a factor in all of this, but understandably so with Brad King's health, and now he's back on the horse and working on my car. For some reason, I don't mind helping PWR out at all in this instance. If they are ok with it, then I'll promote the product if somebody is interested at the cruise.
ah hell, didn't realize they had a age limit! when do I get to attend?!?! so it's got to be beyond a classic to get into that? hadn't realized, maybe I should have actually went down there to look. Oh well, I'm fine with the idea of homesteading at hooters....the kids like it there and at the frozen yogurt place anyways

Kathleen Parker frets. President Obama "appeared weak." It is "amateur hour." He is "not fully formed." He "wants too much to be liked." My, what a revelation it has been.
Excuse me, but this should not exactly come as a surprise. Indeed, the pundits told us many of these qualities were actually positive attributes in a president. We were tired of "macho, cowboy-style" presidents. We wanted someone who could admit error. We didn't need someone with years inside the Beltway. Professional politicians got us into the mess, so we needed someone untouched — "unformed" I supposed — by the brew of D.C. politics to fix it. What was important was to be smart (which meant "degreed" not accomplished) and worldly.
The guy with the years of legislative experience, who understood the importance of projecting strength, who was going to stick to his guns and who had no tolerance for ethical missteps lost. We decided on change — an unformed premise for a presidency if ever there was one. So if we get a president who lacks executive acumen and "maturity"and appears to be a push-over, the voters have no one to blame but themselves. But they might have a bone to pick with all the pundits who thought none of this would be a problem.

Recognizing signs of dementiaWritten by Stephen Roberts | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Many of us know someone who is losing their intellectual capacities. We also may wonder if we ourselves are showing the early signs of dementia or Alzheimer's disease, as we go through our days forgetting things and misplacing glasses.
Roughly 2 million Americans have severe dementia and another 1 to 5 million have milder forms of the condition. Risk factors for dementia include smoking, heavy alcohol use, high levels of LDL cholesterol and Diabetes.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia with close to 5 percent of Americans between 65 and 74 having the condition. Almost 50 percent of people over 85 have the disease.
Estimates are that by 2050, 13 million Americans will develop Alzheimer's disease if preventive measures are not further developed and carried out. Many scientists have been working to discover relationships between various behaviors and the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in different populations.
Dr. Suvi Rovio and colleagues questioned 1,251 Finnish people in midlife about their exercise history with regards to intensity, duration and frequency. The participants were divided into two groups: those who had exercised to the point of becoming breathless and sweaty for 20 to 30 minutes twice a week or more, and individuals who did less. Those who were in the active group had a 2.9 percent chance of dementia while those in the more sedentary group had a 5.2 percent risk of dementia.
Dr. Amy Borenstein and her research team studied more than 1,800 older Japanese-Americans from Seattle about their previous eating behaviors. They found that those who had a history of drinking at least three glasses of fruit or vegetable juice a week lessened their risk of developing Alzheimer's 75 percent, compared with those who drank juice less than once a week.
Dr. Joe Verghese and his colleagues followed 469 adults aged 75 to 85 for five years to discover the impact of leisure behaviors on dementia. The questionnaire that was used measured the occurrence of various activities such as: reading, writing for pleasure, crossword puzzles, board and card games, group discussions, playing musical instruments and several physical pursuits. Behaviors that were associated with a lower risk of dementia were playing board games, playing a musical instrument, reading and dancing. An example of a more specific finding was that a participant that worked on crossword puzzles four days a week had 47 percent lower risk of dementia compared with someone who did them only once a week.
Other behaviors that have been associated with a decreased risk of Alzheimer's are losing weight, flossing and brushing regularly, eating foods with omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, almonds and walnuts and taking supplements of folic acid.
It is important to point out the behaviors mentioned in this article have not actually been proven to decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Rather, the studies have pointed out that people with a lower risk of the disease are more likely to have participated in the mentioned behaviors. Other variables that have yet to be thoroughly studied may be having a significant impact on the prevalence of the disease.
The good news is that most people are able to easily engage in the behaviors that have been mentioned. It is also the case that the activities that have been discussed are considered healthy for most people whether they decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease or not. If you plan to make significant changes in your exercise or dietary behaviors be sure to check with the appropriate health professional.

It may seem counterintuitive, but making time to rest during a trip to Walt Disney World is vital to saving time in the long run. Building this time into your schedule is crucial for saving time in the long run by avoiding time wasting tantrums and increasing your ability to maintain energy over the course of your vacation.
We've all seen kids have meltdowns in the parks after rushing from one ride to another all day, often in hot weather, becoming physically exhausted. Brains are also taxed to capacity by hours of sensory overstimulation by the sights, sounds and smells of Disney. Sadder still is witnessing a parent yelling at a child for a tantrum that could have been avoided or seniors struggling to keep up with families bent on sprinting through the park.
This article presents three strategies for making time to rest during your Walt Disney World vacation.
Afternoon rest at your resort
If you are staying on Disney property, many times it is feasible to go back to your room for a rest—perhaps combined with a visit to the pool—before returning to a park for after dark entertainment. If you are relying on Disney transportation, travel time from the park you are visiting that day to your resort can be long if they are on opposite sides of the property.
Examples of inconvenient pairings for this strategy include the Magic Kingdom to Saratoga Springs, or Animal Kindgom to Fort Wilderness. For the most part, however, if you want a longer and more restful break, nothing beats stretching out on a bed in a climate-controlled environment for a nap, or spending a couple of hours by the pool with a book.
Rest during the day at or around the parks
If you don't want to take a long break or doing so is inconvenient, there are many options around each park to create some sensory down time and get off your feet for an hour or two.
Epcot and Hollywood Studios
On an Epcot day, and moreso when visiting Hollywood Studios (which has fewer dining options), my family likes to have a late lunch at Captain's Grille in the Yacht Club, then sit out at the resort's beach for an hour or two. A Disney-operated ferry runs between the International Gateway at Epcot, the Boardwalk Resort, the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, the Swan and Dolphin Resorts, and Hollywood Studios, so the Yacht Club is convenient from both parks, and the boat rides to and from can be a relaxing part of the journey. Captain's Grille is rarely crowded for lunch, so you shouldn't need to make advanced reservations.
Animal Kingdom
Visiting Animal Kingdom, in the southwest corner of Walt Disney World, is not usually conducive for going to and from a resort to rest, but since the park has no nighttime parade or fireworks, you can either leave the park for good by mid-afternoon or take a midday break in the park.
Our favorite spot to rest in Animal Kingdom is at one of the plentiful and scenic pavilions at Flame Tree Barbecue, a centrally located counter-service restaurant. Grab lunch and snag a pavilion spot along the water, then spend an hour off your feet enjoying the view of Expedition Everest and planning the rest of your day. If you want to spend more time away from the park, take a Disney bus to the Animal Kingdom Lodge for lunch or to enjoy the rocking chairs on one of the observation decks overlooking the savannah, and see what critters pass by.
Magic Kingdom
Options are plentiful at Magic Kingdom, including taking a ride or rides on the train, which encircles the park, or on the slow moving and continuous Transit Authority PeopleMover in Tomorrowland. If you want to take a longer break, plan dessert at or relax in the lobby of one of the monorail hotels-- the Contemporary, Polynesian or Grand Floridian Resorts. Holidays are a particularly good time to visit resort lobbies to view decorations and other special touches on display for each season.
Take a morning or full day off
A final option for building rest time into your vacation is to take a morning—or even a full day—off from the parks if your schedule allows. There are days when you won't want to leave the parks or take much of a break because of an afternoon parade or show, or you may have scheduled only one day for a specific park.
Even families with young children can usually squeeze out a fast-paced and long day or two in the parks with nary a tantrum, but beware the third or fourth day when exhaustion strikes and every step is drudgery. For most of us, the body and mind are simply not seasoned to go full tilt in Disney parks for several days in a row without consequences. Those consequences can spoil an afternoon—or worse, the remainder of your trip. So take a morning off, or even a full day, if your vacation is long enough that you can afford it.
Vacations serve many purposes, including resting from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. While it's tempting to go full bore and soak up every bit of Disney our hard-earned money can afford, resting regularly is critical for all ages and will help maximize your time so you can return to real life refreshed and full of magical memories. A trip to the World presents many options to take those breaks and the tips in this article are just a few of many.
Does your family have a favorite resting strategy or spot when you visit Walt Disney World?

Samsung Electronics will train, develop and update the IT skills of 100 young people in Saudi Arabia from the ages of 14 to 19 years under a student program, from Al-Bir Society at the New Horizons Institute.
New Horizons is an independent IT training institution, chosen by Samsung Electronics to support these students for a career in this sector. Samsung's initiative includes sponsoring 50 boys and 50 girls from Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam for a period of approximately a year, where they will receive training from certified and highly-trained instructors.Gye Choon Cho, general manager of Samsung Electronics, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia said: "This CSR program is to help, prepare and train these ambitious individuals on the modern, technical skills and receive the necessary know-how to enter the work environment and begin to set forth their career goals".

It will also enable participative management and student training. Each month, one department head and Samsung employees will visit New Horizons Institute, and present the students with a lecture on the area of their expertise.

On an average day, the White House gets 100,000 e-mails. Yesterday, 20 percent of those, if it was an average day, came from one group, on one issue. Christians United for Israel, in a written statement, explains: "More than 20,000 Christian Zionists emailed the White House in just over twenty-four hours in order to express their disappointment with the Obama Administration's exaggerated and unnecessary reaction to last week's announcement by Israel's Interior Ministry on construction permits in Jerusalem. The emails were sent in response to an action alert distributed at noon yesterday by Christians United for Israel (CUFI)." The statement continues:
"The incredible response to our action alert is a clear indication that Christian Zionists are firmly committed to a strong US-Israel relationship," said Pastor John Hagee, founder and chairman of CUFI.
"While the timing of the Interior Ministry's announcement was regrettable, the Administration has turned a minor flap into a much larger incident. This overreaction does not advance the cause of peace, and may well imperil it. Let's not forget that the Israelis have taken repeated risks for peace over the years and continue to support direct negotiations towards a two state solution. Nothing about this Israeli approach has changed," said David Brog, CUFI executive director.
"CUFI will continue this effort through the week, and our hope is that in the following days the President will recognize that Americans of all faiths expect his administration to be a more careful steward of the long-standing US-Israel relationship," Brog said.
There is, it seems, a broad coalition — from secular, liberal Jews to Christian conservatives — that takes strong exception to the Obama anti-Israel offensive. And while the Left and J Street crowd remain on the other side egging the administration on, they seem on this one to be badly outnumbered. As in so many things, the Obami find themselves tied to the hip with the Left — and facing a broad and energized coalition on the other side. No one can say they haven't brought people together or encouraged political participation.

Invasive Algae Found In Savage River
Didymo found below Savage River Reservoir
ANNAPOLIS, MD (December 16, 2009) — The Maryland Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) announced today that didymo, an invasive non-native algae has
been found in the Savage River below Savage River Reservoir. DNA tests by
fisheries managers earlier this year indicated the likely presence of this
troublesome organism, but the findings could not be confirmed until DNR
Fisheries staff found a small mass of the material in late November near the
Allegany footbridge.
"The confirmation of didymo in the Savage is troubling," said DNR Inland Fisheries Director Don Cosden. "We are concerned about potential impacts to native brook trout populations here and upstream of the Reservoir as well. We are also concerned that the algae could spread to the North Branch of the Potomac River below the Jennings Randolph Reservoir, a prime trout fishing habitat."
Didymo is an algae diatom that sometimes forms dense mats. It is not a threat to human health but it can cover the stream bottom and suffocate beneficial organisms. It can also create difficult fishing conditions, fouling lines and terminal tackle. The mats may persist even after the algae dies, causing habitat damage for an extended period of time. Didymo, also called "rock snot", looks slimy, but feels like wet wool or cotton, and can be white, brown or yellow.
Didymo first turned up in Maryland in 2008 in Gunpowder Falls below Prettyboy Reservoir. Subsequent monthly DNR surveys in the Gunpowder watershed have shown that densities peak in late winter, particularly in the Falls Road area. It is too early to tell how didymo may impact aquatic insects and other important organisms in the food web.
Didymo has been spreading rapidly into clean cold streams along the Eastern Seaboard for the past few years. These streams are prime habitats for trout and the organisms that support them.
Didymo's appearance in popular trout fishing areas indicates that it is being spread by anglers. Felt-sole boots used by anglers are understood to be a major contributor. DNR is encouraging anglers to replace their old felt-soled boots with the new sticky rubber-soled models, which are much easier to clean and disinfect.
Anglers and outdoor enthusiasts can help prevent the spread of this and other unwanted aquatic invaders by thoroughly cleaning and drying all gear that has been in the stream. Scrub away all dirt and debris before leaving the area. DNR has set up wader wash stations at some key access areas where anglers can disinfect boots in a 5 percent salt solution as they leave the stream. DNR also recommends washing with a salt solution or with common dish detergent when you return home to avoid carrying didymo to your next fishing destination.

I am looking for anyone who has refused the newborn screen in TN and what the steps were. I can't find a whole lot of info on anyone refusing it.
I am VERY well educated on the risk and benefits of having this test done. I am a Nsy nurse so I know the risk and benefits. I am planning to have what test I want done completed thru a private lab to where I will pay cash.
I just have never had a patient refuse the test and I'm not sure what will happen with the state contacting me if I do just wondering if anyone else has experience with this. The doctor who will be delivering me is okay with me refusing the screening and just having selected test done.
You can private message me if you like.
Just wanted to say cool you are looking at doing this. We almost did the same thing but ran out of time. In Canada they keep results on hand for research and dna matches until the child is 18. We didn't like that either.

Annual Budget Process for Minneapolis
The City of Minneapolis annual budget process integrates information from the City's strategic and business planning process, capital long-range improvement committee process and the departmental performance measurement review process (Results Minneapolis) to establish annual resource allocations.
Preliminary year-end budget status report
Finance presents a year-end budget status report for the previous year to the Ways and Means/Budget Committee. This is a preliminary report because the audited comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) is available in the second quarter of the year.
Capital improvement budget development
The City has a five-year capital improvement plan. The departments prepare and modify capital improvement proposals on annual basis. Finance, CPED, and the Capital Long-range Improvements Committee (CLIC) review capital improvement proposals of the departments. CLIC is the citizen advisory committee to the Mayor and the City Council on capital programming.
Strategic planning
The City engages in citywide strategic planning every four years to develop citywide goals and strategic directions. These citywide goals and strategic directions set guidelines for each department to develop its business plan. Early in the year, elected officials and department leadership participate in sessions aimed at setting a future direction for the City within the financial parameters anticipated. As a result of the decisions arrived at in these sessions, a new vision, five-year goals, and strategic directions are adopted.
Operating budget development
Departments work in coordination with Finance and Property Services to prepare operating budgets based on programs. In addition to preparing operating budgets for programs, departments prepare proposals that describe policy and organizational changes with financial implications. The program proposals form the basis for the Mayor's budget meetings with departments held in June and July.
Capital Asset Request System (CARS) plan and budget development
Departments work in coordination with Finance and Property Services to prepare five-year plans for the replacement of smaller capital assets and operating capital. The plans are based upon the need for replacements and the addition of capital assets for operational effectiveness. Each request requires a justification and estimate of the impact on operating budgets, as well as identifying funding sources.
Mayor's Recommended Budget
The Mayor's Recommended Budget will be based on program proposals submitted by departments. These program proposals are reviewed and discussed by the submitting department, the Mayor's Office, Council Members, the Coordinator's Office and Finance and Property Services for priority-setting. In addition to reviewing operating budgets, the Mayor meets with representatives from CLIC before finalizing the capital budget recommendation. By City Charter, the Mayor must make recommendations to the City Council on the budget no later than August 15.
Maximum proposed property tax levy
As a requirement of State law, the maximum proposed property tax levy increase is set by September 30 by the Board of Estimate and Taxation (BET). The BET sets the maximum levies for the City, the Municipal Building Commission, the Public Housing Authority and Park Board.
City Council budget review and development
The City Council budget review and development process beings with a series of public hearings on the budget. Departments present their Mayor's Recommended Budget to the Ways and Means/Budget Committee with all Council members invited to attend. Following departmental budget hearings, the Ways and Means/Budget Committee amends and moves forward final budget recommendations to the City Council. The Committee-recommended budget includes any and all changes that are made to the Mayor's Recommended Budget.
Truth in Taxation
Truth in Taxation (TNT) property tax statements are mailed by Hennepin County to property owners indicating the maximum amount of property taxes that the owner will be required to pay. These statements also indicate the dates when TNT public hearings will be held. State law was changed in the 2009 Legislative session to eliminate a separate TNT hearing. It was replaced with a requirement to allow public comments at the meeting at which the final budget adoption occurs. The City Council has maintained this hearing however as part of the regularly scheduled budget meetings. According to State law, the meeting at which the budget is adopted must be held after 6:00 p.m.
City Council budget adoption
The City Council adopts a final budget that reflects any and all changes made to the Mayor's Recommended Budget. Once the final budget resolutions are adopted, requests from departments for additional funds or positions made throughout the year are to be brought as amendments to the original budget resolutions before the Ways and Means/Budget Committee and the City Council for approval.
The independent boards and commissions adopt their own operating budgets. State law requires that final budget adoption occur after November 24.
See budget overview videos and accompanying presentations delivered to the Ways and Means Committee in 2014.

Another top aide for Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., announced on Friday that he's leaving, the latest in a stream of senior staffers to depart the faltering Republican presidential candidate's team.
Doug Sachtleben, who has spent time on both Bachmann's congressional staff and her presidential campaign, announced that he's joining the staff of two-term Rep. John Fleming, R-La., next week. Sachtleben insisted he has no hard feelings for his soon-to-be ex-boss.
"I leave Rep. Bachmann's office with nothing but the highest regard for Michele," he said. "It has been a pleasure working for her and I continue to admire and appreciate her unwavering conservatism."
Even so, Sachtleben's career trajectory mirrors the highs and lows of Bachmann's political roller coaster. He moved from the congresswoman's Capitol Hill office to her presidential campaign earlier this year, as Bachmann rocketed upwards in the polls immediately after her entrance in the race. But earlier this month, Sachtleben moved back to the congressional office in part of what Team Bachmann billed as a reorganization. It also involved the departure of the biggest name on Bachmann's staff, veteran Republican strategist Ed Rollins.
Since then, Rollins has been openly skeptical of Bachmann's strategy and her chances. More recently, Ed Goeas, a respected GOP pollster, also left Bachmann's team.
In an article posted earlier this week, the National Review Online described the Bachmann campaign as being riddled with internal dissension and infighting.

The group contact is a feature of outlook not your touch so just go to your computer address book and delete the one you dont want then sync again
Hope this helps
You mean I should delete it in my outlook?
I don't see any duplicate in my computer.
Could you give me a clear instructions? Thank you:-)

STOCKBRIDGE — Zyer Beaty has a lot to smile about these days. The Spelman College student from Stockbridge was granted an internship to Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy in South Africa.
"I'm so grateful for this opportunity because God is showing me things that I would have never imagined," Beaty said.
Beaty, along with other students from Spelman, will leave today and stay in South Africa for six months.
A psychology major with a Child Development minor, Beaty said it was only right for her to apply to be a part of Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy.
Beaty was selected from a competitive pool of people and recalled the application process being vigorous. It consisted of eight essays, two recommendation letters and a nomination from a teacher or administrator. She said she had an interview with the president of Spelman College, Beverly Tatum, and was granted the opportunity along with one other Spelman students.
While studying at Spelman, Beaty also has been an intern at United Way of Greater Atlanta. She said that experience allowed her to understand the impact that nonprofit organizations, civic and community engagement and public policy have made in the lives of many children.
"I know this will be a mission for me to be the light for the girls at the academy and I plan to take full advantage of each day," Beaty said.
Beaty graduated in 2010 from Therrell High School in Atlanta as the valedictorian of health science and research. There she maintained a 3.9 grade-point average. She became a Bill Gates Scholar and was able to participate in various extracurricular and community service activities. She was awarded the Gates Millennium Scholarship and said she will use it to her full advantage.

The midfielder left the Gelsenkirchen club for Tottenham in January of last year but has failed to become a first-choice regular at White Hart Lane.
Schalke have indicated they would be happy for him to return to the Bundesliga but not until Jermaine Jones leaves the club.
Keller said: "We can't really imagine such a transfer financially. Talks have not yet reached an advanced stage.
"Lewis has already played as a defensive midfielder under me. He can play there and is tactically very well-schooled."
Schalke will face Real Madrid in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League next month.

Torvalds Releases Kernel 2.6.25: GPL Only Restriction Imposed
Linus Torvalds has released the new 2.6.25 kernel just slightly behind schedule. Besides improvements to the CFS scheduler and a plethora of new drivers, the kernel also introduces a political aspect: it debars non-GPLd USB drivers.
Linus Torvalds actually wanted to release version 2.6.25 last weekend, but the large number of patches caused Torvalds and the developer team to wait another couple of days before going for the release, and to introduce an intermediate pre-release. The final release is now here and it considerably boost the range of supported hardware. Many lines of code introduced various improvements for the fairly recent Mac80211 WLAN stack including the new "Ath5k " driver for Atheros WLAN chips, as a successor to the Madwifi driver. The new driver is dual licensed under the GPL and the ISC license, a simplified BSD license, compared to Madwifi which never made the kernel due to proprietary components. "rtl8180" now supports the RTL8180 and RTL8185 WLAN chips by Realtek. Support for chips that support the fast Draft N standard has been introduced and no longer has an experimental tag.
Another fairly recent kernel component has been reworked, the Completely Fair Scheduler, which has been optimized for realtime environments. The SMACK security framework is completely new. It promises improved handling compared to SELinux. A patch that allowed the kernel to use a differentiated system description table (DSDT) in the initial ramdisk has been removed. This re-introduces the kernel's reliance on the DSDT information in the computer BIOS which are often erroneous.
A political dimension has been added in the form of a controversial change to USB support. Developer Kroah-Hartman pushed through his change outlawing proprietary USB drivers. This has been implemented in the form of the USB kernel driver "EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL" flag which has to exist to export required interfaces. This means that drivers will need to be GPLd or released under a compatible license to make the grade. The kernel had a similar patch previously, but it was removed in favor of better hardware support.
The enhanced "ext4" filesystem is not yet suitable for production use and is included in the kernel mainly for test and development purposes. Among other features it includes large file and large filesystem support, along with journal checksums that log changes to the filesystem and thus allow data to be restored after a crash. Progress has been made with respect to the x86 and x86_64 branch merges. New drivers have also been introduced for the network and audio subsystems..
The changelog has an extensive list of changes. As usual, the new kernel is available either as a patch, or as a complete source code package from the kernel.org site.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
The hotel's impressive history and grand lobby elevates an otherwise standard mid-tier property to mythic status.
In a city that wears its historic pedigree like a badge of honor, even the hotels boast storied lineages. And none is more impressive than that of the Omni Parker House. Opened in 1855, the 551-room landmark is the longest continuously operating hotel in the country, and the first in Boston that offered running water and elevator service. The hotel's famous guests -- and former employees -- read like a laundry list of the political and cultural elite: Charles Dickens did the very first reading of A Christmas Carol on American soil for members of the Saturday Club literary group. Decades later, Ho Chi Minh worked as a baker in the basement kitchen, likely churning out the hotel's deservedly famous, eponymous Parker House rolls. JFK proposed to Jackie at a table at Parker's Restaurant, where Malcolm X once worked as a busboy.
In fact, you can't walk two feet without stumbling over some historical artifact or site of a ghostly encounter at the Parker. With gentle prodding concierge Seamus Murphy, who's worked for the hotel for 33 of his 49 years, will regale guests with tales of the 19th-century whiskey salesman's ghost who lives in the closet of room 303 and plants booze-soaked kisses on slumbering female guests. Given the Omni Parker House's notable heritage, the absence of a special tour or even a printed guide highlighting the hotel's history (and haunted floors) is surprising.
Much of the original building was razed and rebuilt in the 1920s, but portions of the hotel -- including some guest rooms towards the back of the building -- date back to the 19th century. The hotel completed a $30-million renovation in 2008 that maintains the building's architectural integrity, particularly apparent in the spectacular lobby with its ornately carved oak paneling, chandeliered ceilings, and hammered gold elevators.
Rooms are a welcoming hybrid of old and new -- carpeting, linens, and furniture were all updated recently and manage to blend well with the hotel's charming turn-of-the-century vibe. Service, however, is about what you'd expect from a mid-tier chain -- fine, but not overly impressive. For an equally grand, historic feel, with a few more upscale services thrown in, try the Lenox Hotel, which has contemporary perks (Bose speakers, chauffered hybrid SUV service) and freebies (an extensive snack menu), or the Fairmont Copley Plaza, with its gorgeous rooms and an award-winning Oak Bar overlooking Copley Square.
Service -- with the exception of a few charismatic staffers -- is nothing special.
With its grandiose legacy, opulent gilded lobby, and uniformed valets and porters waiting to greet guests, the Omni Parker House projects an image of old-world luxury and white-glove treatment. But the first word in the hotel's title sums up what you can expect once you've checked in. The Omni chain provides decent, but by no means extraordinary, service, and sometimes a lack of professionalism mars the hotel's luxe veneer.
Example: My room was directly across from the housekeeping closet, and as I passed by, I found a maid sitting on the floor of the closet in the dark, chatting on her cell phone. I requested an 8 p.m. turndown service from the front desk, but when I returned after dinner, I noted that the request had not been administered. For a place with such a remarkable history, there are no guides or other informational services plainly available to guests at the reception desk or inside rooms. It's up to ambitious lodgers to track down a concierge, or better yet, the burly head of guest services Seamus Murphy, who gamely relates tales of the hotel's famous guests and ghostly residents to interested parties.
In the heart of downtown, just one block from Boston Common
Omni Parker is situated in the heart of downtown Boston, just outside Beacon Hill, a historic, wealthy, residential neighborhood known for its Federal-style rowhouses, brick sidewalks, narrow streets, and more than 40 antique shops. The hotel is directly across from King's Chapel, the Old Town Hall (now a Ruth's Chris steakhouse), and a block-and-a-half from Granary Burial Ground, where the likes of Paul Revere, Sam Adams, John Hancock and Mother Goose were laid to rest. The blocks surrounding the hotel are lined with bars, Irish pubs, and restaurants that characterize much of Boston's food scene -- steakhouses and seafood joints.
Up-to-date, but with itsy-bitsy bathrooms
Unlike some historic hotels, the Omni Parker House has successfully updated guest rooms to suit modern travelers' needs without forfeiting old-world charm. All rooms underwent soft renovations in 2008, so carpets are spotless and furniture is in excellent condition. My 260-square-foot deluxe room (about average for downtown) was clean, spacious and attractively decorated with brand-new plush furniture, mirrors with old-fashioned moulding, brocaded faux fabric wallpaper, and a new 32-inch, flat-screen TV. A large wooden work desk was outfitted with a data port for laptop plug-ins. The one place that vestiges of the old hotel were felt in a less pleasant way was the cramped bathroom, where I had difficulty maneuvering in front of the sink without being attacked by the heavy fabric shower curtain.
Few amenities aside from a large gym and a storied history
With the exception of the ghosts that supposedly haunt the 3rd and 10th floors and a spacious new gym, there aren't any special features at the Parker House.
Okay for families
Although standard rooms are on the small side, there are adjoining rooms available, free cribs, and small amenities for children upon check-in. If families don't mind riding the T (Boston's subway system), it's only one block away with easy access to many sites. Faneuil Hall is just three blocks away.
Small pets are allowed for a fee.
The Omni Parker House allows pets under 25 pounds for a one-time fee. Pets can be left unattended in rooms unless disruptions occur. No other special amenities are offered.
Recent renovation has left it pretty clean.
The lobby and hallways may be dark, but they're clean. Guest rooms feature brand-new carpet, bedding, and furniture, but some stains are apparent on wallpaper and there are minor cracks in the marble of the bathroom's showers. I found a crumpled up receipt on the floor under the desk in my room that had been left by a previous tenant.
On-site, upscale Parker's Restaurant and more casual, The Last Hurrah
The hotel's full-service restaurant, Parker's, is as historically significant as the rest of the hotel. Not only did Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X, and Emeril Lagasse all work there, it is, after all, where the famed, buttery Parker House rolls were invented. Ditto the Boston cream pie, though the restaurant's contemporary rendering is virtually unrecognizable from the traditional dessert (it more closely resembles a Little Debbie Zebra Cake in looks and taste). Slightly less famous, but a signature dish nonetheless, is the bland, beige New England Schrod, the etymology of which once referred not to the actual type of fish but the acronym "Special Catch (Haddock) Received of Day," according to my waiter. (Nowadays it's just plain haddock.)
Steeped in history, stuffed with ghost lore, and teeming with old-world grandeur, the surprisingly affordable Omni Parker House is the place to stay for a taste of Boston's literary and political past. But manage your expectations when it comes to service and rooms.

Sunday best: August
Of course, I wear black whether it's plus or minus 30 celsius, so I'm not sure how much all this seasonality really affects me. After all, I would wear this today and wear it again in October with a big cardigan. I've never really felt that seasons, trends etc. apply to the way I dress, apart from exposing me to different ideas and new labels that might go with what I already like.
I did lots of small, niggling things in July... taking coats and blankets and duvets to the dry-cleaner, repotting plants, hanging new drapes, making a long put-off dermatologist appointment, trying new recipes. My list for August is similarly banal but satisfying:
- Replace pillows on my bed (I really want a Hastens pillow!)
- Get new trainers
- Cook from Jerusalem (I bought it yesterday and feel so inspired!)
- Re-establish my daily yoga habit
- Read A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing today (also, post copies to the giveaway winners)
Products: A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing by Eimear McBride | Saguenay Tunic Shirt from Toast | Splendid leggings from Net-a-Porter | ginette_ny Mother of Pearl Ring from Shopbop | 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel from SSENSE | Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil from NARS | Charley Booties from Madewell

Enjoy Jerusalem, Jane! It is an inspiring book - so many delicious recipes and interesting flavours!ReplyDelete
I love this outfit. the bag is gorgeous. and the ring too! have a beautiful sunday! ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, you too!Delete
I feel the same, both about feeling ready for cooler weather, and about clothing seasonality. And about yoga! I've been trying to re-establish my habit too.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's so hard once I slip out of. And then once I start again I'm like wtf was I thinking?! I'm such a mystery to myself haha!Delete
I have that Jerusalem cookbook and I adore it. I'm not really good with cooking from cookbooks, I tend to mess things up and not follow the instructions. But this one is pretty good, and I hope you'll enjoy cooking from it too. Try the Shakshouka recipe for a weekend breakfast/brunch - it's heaven. I sometimes have it for dinner too when I'm really lazy.ReplyDelete
P.S. I love the ring.Replies
Thanks Hila. Shakshuka looks delicious!Delete
I wish it were easier to order from Toast where I live! Summers here get very hot, like in the 100 fahrenheit/37 celsius range, so this outfit would have to wait a while here. Although, now that I think about it, I could probably wear it to work and be fine. It can be blazing outside, but the air conditioner makes it meat locker cold inside so that I have to keep a space heater by my desk. Kind of ridiculous really.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, we have the same thing here with A/C. I'm not good with the heat once it gets over 30 (and it goes up beyond 40 sometimes here too!) Looking forward to fall!Delete
I too have been cooking from the Jerusalem cookbook and loving it! I have become addicted to Pomegranate Molasses and its sticky sweetness. I can also vouch for the daily yoga practice - it is such a great feeling once you get into it - even three times a week feels good, but this still doesn't capture the quiet depths that are achievable with daily work. Enjoy!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I fell off the wagon with yoga when my workload increased dramatically. I just need to reclaim some time! It is transformative.Delete

I'm not shutting this thing off until I know we are back on because it doesn't like to start up too easily. Washing my hair in ice cold water this morning...after struggling with the generator for a half hour...so she could have power to get ready for work...
