This was a pretty nice hotel with a great beach. The staff was wonderful. They were a cut above. Always ready willing and able to help. We had an ocean view room in building 9. For a middle range hotel it was great.
Old, dirty, poor attention to details, towels smelled horrible, dirty beach, lousy "all-inclusive".
Buffet didn't have enough options for foreign travelers, and food was below average.
Only good thing was the coffee and spa.
Don't go there! Westin or Sheraton is your best choice
My man and I had a great time, as the staff was very attentive. There were a ton of kids, so if you are looking for a little more "quite" pool-time, I would suggest Adult-only...which I will do next time. ;)
I would say the all-inclusive was worth it. Of course the drinks were not "premium", but what do you...
Reserved a Family Room they stuck us in another room. Went back to desk and were moved to another room they claimed was more expensive--checked online and rate was significantly less. Paid for all inclusive but had to request water in the room every day (4 days). Also they only supply sodas in the room on the first day. Restaurant...
I am a time share owner at this resort. Frustrated by the lack of care given to the villas. I have owned the time share since 2006. The VERY SAME bed cover is still being used! We visit for at least two weeks per year. In general, I have to call the front desk for items such as a coffee...
We travelled there in middle April for our anniversary we couldn't get over the service everyone was willing to help we didn't do the la carte but the buffet was awesome it was different every evening the buffet is situated on the beach so it was eating by the ocean the only down side was the people on the beach...

I read all the reviews about Krystal before making an RCI exchange. I was somewhat skeptical about going there because of some of the reviews, but we had to use some time or lose it. The Krystal was one of the few resorts that was all inclusive optional. We just can't eat and drink enough to make it worth while....

This is a good hotel to stay in; nice rooms with space and some with kitchen equipped with basic things like toaster, microwave, stove, blender, some pans and pots, cutlery and freezer which can be very useful.

My wife and I spent a weekend here and both agree that it's an average hotel.
I'm going to list a few things that you need to be aware
1 paking it's not free it cost 50 pesos per day

3 the refrigerator it's noisy...
We have been owners at the Krystal for the past 10- 12 years a few years ago they sold off part of the property to Hilton, which meant the best part if there sort was gone. A couple of years ago we ""Upgraded" from the villas . Not a good choice . The pool used to be the highlight it...
Hi! We stayed at this resort in 2009, we stayed in the hacienda's/villa's and loved it. We are returning in February 5--12, 2016 and have booked a 2 bedroom,(we are celebrating a 30th wedding anniversary with friends)and hoping to stay in the hacienda's/villa's again. We exchange through RCI and are hoping you can help direct us to whom to contact about this?
Thanks, Paul
We will not be all-inclusive at the resort. Are the restaurants pricey or reasonable in cost?
we would like to do all inclusive for just part of our stay - is that possible?
Hi, I am looking to book this hotel and on one website it says you have to pay for internet but then this website says it is free, can anyone confirm this for me?
We have booked a studio suite that sleeps 4 - is there a refrigerator in these rooms? I know there is a microwave

Olympic Shine Fading

Enjoy seeing NHLers at the Olympics in Italy. It could be the beginning of the end. It just seems like the appeal of NHLers at the Winter Games is really starting to lose its golden glow. Players are opting out for personal reasons while others are faced with loyalty dilemmas (club or country?) when it comes to injuries. Taking a two-week break from the NHL schedule is not looking like the pain is worth the gain. Except for those years (rare) when the Games are in North America, the broadcast times of the hockey games are ridiculously early or late in the day.read on update 7:02am, The idea of having hockey in the Summer Olympics adresses most of the problems it now faces- from the Mercury News,
Injuries are always going to be part of the equation, but with so many players having to weigh team loyalty and a shot at the Stanley Cup against national pride and a chance at an Olympic gold medal, maybe hockey would be better suited for the Summer Games. If basketball, which has the same season as the NHL, can be a summer event, why not hockey? This isn't like the Winter Olympics in the 1920s when they played hockey on outdoor rinks.more

Acheiving Holiness
Blogged by Ella Preece 1 Day ago...
Through our participation in the Sacraments particularly in the Eucharist, where we accept God into our very being, our holiness is honed and enriched. The more we choose to set ourselves aside from the world (hagiosyne) and dedicate ourselves to God (hosiotes), trying not to be influenced by for example, secular morality, the more we achieve this holiness. The parable of the talents makes it clear that the more we strive to do God's work the more gifts and graces He bestows on us, helping us to achieve more for His glory. We are justified in our attempts to achieve holiness by our salvation through Christ's Paschal sacrifice, which we partake in through baptism. This "Justification includes the remission of sins, sanctification and the renewal of inner man" and it is that renewal that is the honing of holiness within us. The call to holiness requires us to model our lives on Christ, who separated Himself from worldly ties and persuasions, focusing on God and the mission God had for Him. We must follow this example of separation and focus on the mission God has for us, we must "be perfect just as your heavenly Father is perfect" and strive to "be holy in all you do" because we have been told, "the holiness without which no one can ever see the Lord". God gives us gifts with which we can use to achieve this perfection for us and others, but it is important to remember that what might be a gracious gift from God is intended to be used as a tool... "What God wants is for you all to be holy".
It is also important to be aware that "The ways of holiness are many" because of the variety and skills of the laity. We do not have to achieve this holiness by struggling on our own merit, there is a call for "training in holiness", to be adapted to people's needs. The main source of this training can be obtained through deepening our prayer lives. The apostles saw this when they asked "Lord, teach us to pray", but this is not enough on it's own the "primacy of holiness and prayer is inconceivable without a renewed listening to the word of God" which we receive in during the mass. As Christians we strive to live our Christian life in the fullest possible way and are therefore able to live our lives for the glory of God. Though this is no easy task we can strive to achieve it to the best of our abilities, after all as St Gregory of Nyssa states "Christian perfection has but one limit, that of having none".
Is Holiness only for the Baptised?
Blogged by Ella Preece 4 Days ago...
Is it only the baptised Christians who can take up this call of holiness? Gregory of Nyssa states "An image is not truly an image if it does not possess all the characteristics of the pattern" If God is holiness and if man was created in the image of God, the image of that holiness, then he is set aside from the world (hagiosyne) for God's work (hosiotes), therefore all humanity is called to holiness.
When Christ died for the salvation of humanity, He died that all might be saved, we see this in action at Christ's crucifixion when Jesus assures the thief a place in paradise, even though he had not been baptised. Jesus clearly states that Baptism is necessary for salvation, this applies to those who have heard the Good News and therefore could not refuse themselves this sacrament.
There are many people who are unawear of the Gospels but who strive to search for the truth. Gaudium et Spes talks of how God created us in love, inscribing on our hearts a law, the way that brings us to Him. It discusses how man chooses to observe this law that he will be judged. Those who have not heard the Good News, and therefore are not baptised, may still be saved if they truly search for truth and follow the path God calls them on; they may unknowingly become partakers in the Baptism of desire. If one can obtain salvation without having received baptism then as Paul informed the Hebrews without holiness no one will see the Lord We can only conclude that all mankind has been called to holiness because we are all called by God to Himself, which requires all of us to separate ourselves from this world in search of the truth that is God (hagiosyne), in love/desire for Him (hosiotes) whether we are aware that our love is for Him or not.
It is important to remember that it is not only those who are baptised Christians whom God has chosen to do His work (it is the Pagan King Cyrus who is chosen to re-build the Temple in Jerusalem). James states faith without works is dead and John states "everybody who does wrong hates the light and avoids it […] the man who lives by the truth comes out into the light […] that what he does is done in God". Therefore those who do "good works", who follow those laws God has inscribed on his heart are striving to find the truth that is God.
This may mean that even though a baptised Christian may have a fuller understanding of the call to holiness, because "All of us who are human beings are in the image of God, but to be in his likeness belongs only to those who by great love have attached their freedom to God", that is to say through our baptism the Holy Spirit fulfils this natural call to holiness with a sacramental sign of our separation from the world and dedication to God. There are some who may be ignorant of God's message who still manage to achieve part of that call to holiness without necessarily realising it!
Because "we are God's work of art, created in Christ Jesus to live the good life as from the beginning he had meant us to live it", it is therefore imperative that those who are baptised Christians take up the call to evangelization and being witnesses of the faith seriously, as we understand more fully the call to holiness which encompasses the whole of humanity. It is our duty as part of the covenant we have undertaken that we make sure our family, friends, work colleagues and strangers on the street are aware of the holiness we are all called to.
Baptism makes us holy
Blogged by Ella Preece 1 Week ago...
The "call to holiness is rooted in Baptism", through our Baptism we are united to the Body of Christ. Baptism removes Original Sin, which ties us to the world. The removal of Original Sin separates us from the world (hagiosyne) making us adopted children of God (hosiotes); we are renewed and guided by the Holy Spirit. By accepting this covenant with God we must take up the call to holiness and act upon it, it would not make sense to say that you wished to be a member of God's family being set apart for His glory but then reject the call to holiness by not wishing to be set aside for Him. "It is the whole of [human] nature, extending from the beginning to the end [of history], that constitutes the one image of Him who is". Though it seems we are individual members we make up the one body of Christ, it is this ontological unity which unites our attempts to achieve holiness with that of all the members, thus achieving holiness for one and all.
The universal call to holiness
Blogged by Ella Preece 1 Week ago...
""This is the will of God, your sanctification" (1 Th 4:3). It is a duty which concerns not only certain Christians but "All the Christian faithful, of whatever state or rank, are called to the fullness of the Christian life and to the perfection of charity"".
In his letter on the universal call to holiness Pope John Paul II reminds us that all Christians, what ever their position or circumstances in life are called to holiness through living their Christian lives by devoting themselves entirely for God and striving to remove themselves from worldly influences, in particular honing the fruit of the spirit charity.
The call to holiness is not something that is a personal thing, in fact it is assumed that the lay faithful play a fundamental part in "fulfilling the mission of salvation within the Church". It is through the variety of gifts and talents that are bestowed on individual members that regardless of "rank or status [we] are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity".
This call requires us to place our focus on God, to do God's will by not being influenced by worldly demands, but separating ourselves from the world (hagiosyne) by living our lives for God in the way God intended. We do this by placing our trust in Him, giving ourselves to Him (hosiotes). Through our redemption through Christ we cannot refuse this call, as Mother Teresa stated "Holiness is not a luxury; it is a necessity."
Jack Regan was Lying
Blogged by James Preece 3 Weeks ago...
Jack Regan - founder of CatholicYouthWork.com, advisor for Youth Ministry for the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, CYMFed member, Flame Congress organiser... takes time out of his busy schedule to shed a bit of light on days gone by...
I ran a Catholic website for years (not huge - but the biggest within its own sector) and had to do battle with bloggers. One in particular, who virtually stalked the site. I even invented a pseudonym who could do battle with him while I maintained my 'okay, calm down everybody...' administrator demeanour. It worked a treat. Definitely not a tactic I'm proud of, but alas, that was the Catholic web back then. My moderators told me time and again just to kick him off, but I felt he could be reasoned with and persuaded by sound argument. I was very wrong.
No, the blogger I refer to was a lad from up north somewhere. He's long gone now (I assume?
So basically, he lied. He pretended to be two people when he was only one person. He told me one thing with one mask on and another thing with another mask on. Note that despite the lying, I was the bad guy. Got it?
He's not proud, but that was the Catholic web back then... Ah yes, back then - when, er, lying was okay... apparently?
When Jack Regan tells you I "stalked his site" what he means is that I visited and contributed to the discussions that were going on. I'm a dad with three kids who helps to run a weekly parish youth group - is it not reasonable for me to join in with a forum called "CatholicYouthWork.com"?
When Jack Regan tells you that he felt I could be reasoned with and persuaded by sound argument but that he very wrong, what he means is that he never had a sound argument in the first place. His argument always was (and remains) de force majeure. He never tells me I'm wrong, he just explains that I'm not going to win because nobody cares about blogs any more.
This is how Jack tells it..
For a period (circa 2008-2009) the blogs wielded a fair bit of power.
The very thought of being 'blogged about' sent planning meetings at Eccleston Square and other places (I was in many, albeit in a very junior capacity!) into a real tailspin.
Sometime around 2010, somebody a bit more level-headed did a study in to how much influence the blogs actually had. The reported verdict (quickly spread) was that your average blog (like the one stalking my site) was being read by about as many people as your average parish newsletter.
After that, the atmosphere quickly changed. In 2012 I was in a planning meeting at Eccleston Square for a national event and somebody mentioned the prospect of being 'blogged' about and asked if that spectre should change our approach. The chair dismissed the comment with a quick "Oh, nobody cares about the blogs any more", and that was that. Three years later, when the same event came around, blogs weren't even mentioned.
The blogger who had stalked my site tried his best, bless him, but nobody really noticed. By that stage, the people running that event had their comms well sorted and the blogger was basically throwing stones at a battleship.
Note - the people at the planning meeting don't seem particularly concerned about whether they are doing anything wrong. They know they are doing something wrong. When somebody raises the prospect of being blogged about - they already know they have something they would rather the world not see.
The decision made had nothing to do with the rightness or wrongness - they only established that since "nobody cares about the blogs any more" it would be okay to do the thing and get away with it. They are like whited sepulchres - who on the outside have got their comms sorted but on the inside are filled with dead men's bones.
Truth Jack? What is that?
Pope Francis: Continue the Good Work in the Liturgy
Blogged by James Preece 2 Months ago...
Pope Francis asked Cardinal Robert Sarah "to continue the good work in the liturgy begun by Pope Benedict XVI"..
In his message to the Sara Liturgia USA Conference in New York, which began on Monday, the Guinean Cardinal said: "When the Holy Father, Pope Francis, asked me to accept the ministry of Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, I asked: 'Your Holiness, how do you want me to exercise this ministry? What do you want me to do as Prefect of this Congregation?' The Holy Father's reply was clear. 'I want you to continue to implement the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council,' he said, 'and I want you to continue the good work in the liturgy begun by Pope Benedict XVI.'"
That would be the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council that said..
"the use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin rites"
"steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them"
"The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services"
And Pope Benedict XVI who said..
What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church's faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.
Looks like Cardinal Sarah is going to be a busy man!
Same Old Same Old..
Blogged by James Preece 2 Months ago...
GK Chesterton writing almost a decade ago...
"A generation is now growing old, which never had anything to say for itself except that it was young. It was the first progressive generation – the first generation that believed in progress and nothing else…. [They believed] simply that the new thing is always better than the old thing; that the young man is always right and the old wrong. And now that they are old men themselves, they have naturally nothing whatever to say or do. Their only business in life was to be the rising generation knocking at the door. Now that they have got into the house, and have been accorded the seat of honour by the hearth, they have completely forgotten why they wanted to come in. The aged younger generation never knew why it knocked at the door; and the truth is that it only knocked at the door because it was shut. It had nothing to say; it had no message; it had no convictions to impart to anybody…. The old generation of rebels was purely negative in its rebellion, and cannot give the new generation of rebels anything positive against which it should not rebel. It is not that the old man cannot convince young people that he is right; it is that he cannot even convince them that he is convinced. And he is not convinced; for he never had any conviction except that he was young, and that is not a conviction that strengthens with years."
- G.K. Chesterton, Illustrated London News of July 9, 1921
I used to say "Fight them!" but now I can only say pray for them.

Pope Francis: Time for Parents to Resume their Educational Role
Blogged by James Preece 3 Months ago...
Pope Francis has been talking about the educational role of parents..
It would seem like an obvious statement, there are difficulties still in our times. It is hard to educate when parents only see their children in the evening, when they come home tired from work.
Above all, the question is: how should we educate? What tradition do we have today to pass on to our children?
Intellectual "critics" of every kind have silenced parents in countless ways, in order to protect the younger generations from the damage — real or presumed — of family education. The family stands accused, among other things, of being authoritarian, of favoritism, of conformism, of the emotional repression that generates conflict.
In fact, a rift has opened up between the family and society, between the family and school, the educational pact today has been broken; and thus, the educational alliance between society and the family is in crisis because mutual trust has been undermined. There are many symptoms. For example, at school relationships between parents and teachers have been compromised. At times there is tension and mutual distrust; and naturally, the consequences fall on the children. On the other hand, the number of so-called "experts" has multiplied, and they have assumed the role of parents in even the most intimate aspects of education. With regard to emotional life, personality and development, rights and duties, these "experts" know everything: objectives, motivations, techniques. And parents must simply listen, learn and adapt.
They tend to entrust them more and more to the "experts", even in the most delicate and personal aspects of their lives, putting themselves alone in a corner; and thus parents today run the risk of excluding themselves from the lives of their children. And this is very grave!
It is clear that this approach is not good: it is not harmony, it is not dialogue, and rather than fostering cooperation between the family and other educational agencies, schools, gymnasiums... it counteracts it.
Christian communities are called to offer support to the educational mission of families, and they do this first of all with the light of the Word of God.
I hope that the Lord bestows on Christian families the faith, freedom and courage necessary for their mission. If family education rediscovers the pride of its leadership, many things will change for the better, for uncertain parents and for disappointed children. It is time for fathers and mothers to return from their exile — for they have exiled themselves from their children's upbringing — and to fully resume their educational role. We hope that the Lord gives this grace to parents: to not exile themselves from the education of their children. And this can only be done with love, tenderness and patience.
I sometimes read those "Section 48" reports (e.g. St Marys College, Hull PDF) that Middlesbrough Diocese (and others?) do on the "Catholic Life" our local Catholic Schools and they are always telling me how wonderful everything is...
Throughout the report are bullet points such as "How well do pupils respond to and participate in the school's Collective Worship" which are individually graded and make up the overall score. You will note that not a single one of these bullet points mentions parents at all. The extent to which Catholic Schools work with parents is not even being inspected never mind fixed.
Familiaris Consortio tells us that "schools must never forget that the parents have been appointed by God Himself as the first and principal educators of their children" but for some reason the Section 48 inspectors don't seem very interested in who God has appointed as first and principal educators so they have an entire section on "Leaders, Managers and Governors" instead.
I'm not kidding. Why is there no section for "How well do staff respond to and participate in parent's attempts to be the first and principal educators of their children"?
There really should be.

ProPublica collects the story's major developments and the changes in Komen's official explanation.
It's been a week since the Richter-rocking PR disaster about defunding Planned Parenthood struck the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity, and on Tuesday another big figure at the foundation shook loose.

Laurie DeCrow of Hood River has been named as a new independent agent for Child Shield, U.S.A., a national organization dedicated to the safety of America's children.
DeCrow shares with Child Shield, U.S.A. its goal of helping to prevent and recover lost, missing, abducted, and runaway children throughout America.
According to the United States Department of Justice, these situations befall about one-half million children each year.
Unfortunately, far too many American parents have an "It can't happen to my kid" attitude. According to the Vanished Children's Alliance, every 40 seconds another child is missing or abducted.
"We are not doing our children any favors by pretending that these things don't happen," said Ellen Slockbower who, with her husband David, co-founded the Pennsylvania-based Child Shield, U.S.A. in 1990.
"By keping our children ignorant of these dangers, we are also keeping them vulnerabnle. To educate them is empower them," she says.
The primary goal of Child Shield, U.S.A. is to reduce the numbers of lost, missing, abducted, and runaway children in America.
Their child safety package provides an easy to follow educational program designed to empower parents and children with important knowledge that can help to prevent an unfortunate occurance.
In additon, the educational part of the Child Shield, U.S.A. service includes the unique Safety Seven poster and their Play It Safe coloring and activity book. These materials provide ongoing reenforcement and help children retain the important safety informaiton they've learned.
This unique database contains hundreds of law enforcement agencies, missing children's organizations, and national news media contacts.
For more information on how to protect your children with Child Shield, U.S.A., contact Laurie DeCrow at 387-5819.

Rare listed villa for sale in Greytown
Built for "an English gentleman"CALEB HARRIS
Relevant offers
A heritage-listed home built by one of Greytown's first town clerks is up for sale for just the fourth time in over a century.
The renovated Victorian villa at 54 Kuratawhiti St, in Greytown's historical area opposite Soldiers Memorial Park, comes with more than a hectare of land, has a rateable value of $1,030,000 and was listed for sale last week.
Property Brokers agent Vicki Eckford said it had already sparked interest from Australia.
Owners Alison and Gordon Paterson bought the property in 1999, coincidentally at the same time as they began taking in "many, many" foster children.
With three children of their own, their Ladybird childcare centre in Greytown brought them into contact with a lot of children with nowhere to go.
"It's just lovely that you've got the room to share . . . this is a home, and it's meant to be lived in," Alison Paterson said.
It was believed the house was built about 1873, with newspapers from that era found lining walls.
They called it "the old coach house" because of its circular driveway designed to drop off guests, and servery hatches which suggested lodgers.
The first owner was English immigrant and early Greytown town clerk Horatio Dudding, who was said to have requested a home "built to the requirements of an English gentleman". He sold it in 1918 to farmer Alf York.
York's daughter Rachel Thompson said she had fond memories of spending the first 22 years of her life there.
"I've still got quite a lot of my heart in that place . . . all the local children used to come and congregate on our lawn and play games because it was so big."
Eckford said it was the only house for sale in the town's historical centre with that amount of land, with the "park-like" grounds including large mature trees, meadows and the original stables.
The Patersons reclad the stables with Canadian cedar shingles at the same time they renovated the house, installing a spa bath, central heating and adding a new kitchen, dining and family rooms.
The house is listed by South Wairarapa District Council as a building of historic importance and architectural significance.

Jason Kidd is sitting out Monday night as the Mavericks take on the Los Angeles Clippers and could be out a week or more due to a strained right groin muscle, reports ESPNDallas.com.

It was, by definition, a rematch of the NBA finals from last June. It sure didn't feel like it. Because these are the same franchises and the same uniforms, but they are not the same teams. The Miami Heat got a comfortable win, 106-85, playing with more energy than we have seen in recent weeks.…

Select Local Merchants
Downtown Crepe CafeRead MoreA visit to Downtown Crepe Cafe can help jump-start an entire day. This isn't just due to the coffee and tea drinks, though those help with varieties like classic espresso and lavender latte. It's not just because of the savory and sweet crepes, either, although no one leaves hungry with the Canadian breakfast, ratatouille, and chicken-filled taco styles on offer. In part, what makes Downtown Crepe Cafe so fortifying is its onsite gallery, which unites the original masterpieces of local artists and aims to inspire all who pass through.28 Benton StreetKitchener, ON CA
The Robin's NestRead MoreInside the welcoming clove-coloured café, baristas grind fair-trade organic beans to create a variety of drinks that spotlight the distinct flavours of the world's best coffee-growing regions. They customize these concoctions with flavoured syrups for a touch of sweetness, or pour them over ice for a quick way to cool down on a summer's day. New chef Natasha Frank's expansive menu features a selection of sandwiches and flatbreads, as well as appetizers such as jalapeno popper and salmon pinwheels, and vegetable soup. The café helps foster a sense of beauty and community by showcasing local music and artwork, including a rotating collection of oil paintings, pottery, and collages.29 Church Street WestElmira, ON CA
Seven Shores Urban Market and CafeRead MoreGrab a seat and dig in! Seven Shores Urban Market and Cafe in Waterloo offers tasty eats everyone will enjoy. Warm weather, delectable dishes, and an awesome atmosphere make for a dream night out at Seven Shores Urban Market and Cafe. Heading to Seven Shores Urban Market and Cafe for a tasty meal?

Red Brick CafeRead MoreWhat services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? Red Brick is a little piece of Europe in Downtown Guelph. We have amazing art shows, a busy neighbour hood scene, and our well-loved Wednesday Night Music Sessions. We have two amazingly romantic patios, and more marriage proposals than we can count. What is one of your most popular offerings? How is it prepared? We are most loved for our award winning cappuchino, giant home made muffins, and soups from statch. Recently, we've added local craft beer, an evening tapas menu at 5pm, table service, creating a vibrant evening scene . What was the inspiration to start or run this business? I loved the cafes I encountered travelling in Europe - the easy mix of coffee, wine, beer, and food, where both family and friends can mix and hang out in a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. What do you love most about your job? The people: my amazing staff, the regulars, and seeing the pleasure the cafe brings when new people discover Red Brick for the first time. (and then when they come back for their wedding photos with us)8 Douglas StreetGuelph, ON CA
Harry Ten ShillingRead MoreHarry Ten Shilling boasts a history as rich as its homemade desserts. The building's original identity was the Union Hotel, which served as a stopover for early pioneers. Later it would become a bootlegging operation, then an antique store, and then an art gallery. Finally, in 1977, the storied location transformed into Harry Ten Shilling Tea Room—a name that pays homage to William Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part II. During the play, characters reference a 10-shilling coin marked with the face of Henry III, who was also known as Harry. Harry Ten Shilling's traditional teatime experience bridges the gap between past and present. The café complements cups of chai and naturally flavored black tea with homemade finger sandwiches, jams, and signature scones. Cooks arrange the delicacies on fine china and supply all the proper tea fixings—milk, sugar, and splints for keeping pinkie fingers angled at precisely 45 degrees.9 Huron RoadShakespeare, ON CA
Beantown Coffee Co.Read MoreCuisine Type: Coffee, tea, latte, cappuccino, smoothie Established: 2014 Handicap Accessible: No Number of Tables: 1–5 Parking: Free street parking Most popular offering: Coffee Kid-friendly: Yes Delivery / Take-out Available: Takeout Only Outdoor Seating: No Pro Tip: We offer a comfortable lounge with free wifi. Carl, the owner of Beantown Coffee Co., keeps his company a small, family-run operation. But that doesn't mean he lacks grand aspirations for his product. "The coffee is 100% organic [and] fair trade," he says. "And it tastes out of this world." The beans can be found in everything the baristas whip up, from hot, dark drip coffee to milky lattes. For the caffeine-conscious, Carl recommends a cup of socially-conscious loose leaf tea or the "amazing hot chocolate," which pairs well with a pastry or even the frozen hot chocolate, if you want to mix them together and have regular chocolate.9 Reeve StreetWoodstock, ON CA

So the CBA negotiations basically can be summarized thusly: The big-market teams don't want to pay the small-market teams, the small-market teams don't want to pay the players, and so, of course, the NHL is stuck in its flawed approach that satisfies both of these constituencies while reaching deep into the athletes' pockets but doing nothing to generate revenue for cash-poor franchises.

And the fans shouldn't want to pay the high ticket prices that were promised to come down after the last lockout.

I'm guessing the minnesota signings left a bad taste in the mouth of the big market teams.
Small market vs. big market .
Small market vs. players.
Big market vs. players.
As a red wing fan, I don't like the salary cap. As a hockey fan, I love the salary cap.

Brooke Shields Replacing Bebe Neuwirth on Broadway
Nathan Lane (who played Gomez Addams) has already exited the production; he was recently replaced by Roger Rees, who appeared on 'Cheers' in the early '90s -- the same series that gave Neuwirth her big break.
This is the fifth time Sheilds, 45, will star on the Great White Way as a replacement for other actresses.
She took over as Rizzo in 'Grease' in 1995, she inherited the lead role in 'Cabaret' from Gina Gershon in 2001, she replaced Donna Murphy in 'Wonderful Town' in 2004, and she stepped into the role of Roxie in 'Chicago' in 2005. Last year, Shields appeared in the rotating cast of female stars headlining Nora Ephron's off-Broadway hit 'Love, Loss and What I Wore.'
A post-college career lull in Hollywood originally prompted the onetime teen model, 'Suddenly Susan' star and author to step onstage years ago. "I thought the shortest way to get my career going would be through Broadway," Shields recalled in a 2010 interview. "If you can handle it and grow in it, there's nothing better as a challenge than musical theater."

I saw "The Addams Family" in previews last March and can't believe it is still on Broadway. It was really awful!!!

"This is the fifth time Sheilds, 45, will star on the Great White Way as a replacement for other actresses."
And the fifth time Broadway tried to salvage a rotten play by adding a "Name" to the cast. A bad actress for a bad play.
- Saturday 02 April
Brooke certainly has the height to play the role. At first I was thinking Nathan Lane was all wrong for the show, but remembered that Gomez was not originally as we saw him on tv. Remember, in the cartoons, he was shorter and kind of fat. As for the Top Chef finale, who cares? It was just another reality show that wasted huge amounts of TV air time.

Shields is not a star and does NOT belong on Broadway, not now, not over. She has absolutely NO talent. Everyone should BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT this show until the part of Morticia is given to a real actress. Shields should be working in a mailroom at minimum wage so one of the many talented NYC actresses can do justice to this role. Height means nothing if you're an empty shell. And she's not even attractive unless you like women who look like men in drag.

Great play with the original cast. I don't think Brooke can pull off Morticia, but who knows. Give the girl a chance, haters.

Sue, so sorry you've never seen really good acting, or you would know the difference. And so sorry you wasted your money. I would never pay a penny to see that good for nothing not talent. I've seen many really great actors and actresses in NYC, and she is not in their league.

Kroger has announced that it is expanding its presence in North Texas in an effort to capitalize on the large metropolitan population there, the company said. Over the next 24 months, Kroger will invest $150 million in the region to build five new Marketplace stores and expand three current locations.
The retailer also plans to open multiple fuel centers and remodel existing properties. The growth initiative is expected to create more than 1,700 full- and part-time career opportunities that offer competitive pay, healthcare plans, retirement options, product discounts and other incentives, according to Kroger.
"Kroger is a company that is focused on smart, strategic growth and providing a highly satisfied customer shopping experience. Dallas is a market that continues to attract new residents and retailers because of its economic strength and stability," said Bill Breetz, president of Kroger Southwest. "We've operated here since 1958. In that period, we've grown our footprint to 85 stores and 43 fuel centers. We've successfully reached this point by closely monitoring the unique needs of this market and evolving to meet the requests of our customers."
New Kroger Marketplace and Fuel stores will be located in: Forney, TX, Bartonville, TX, North Richland Hills, TX, Lewisville, TX and Granbury, TX. The following Kroger Signature stores will also be expanded: Flower Mound, TX, Irving, TX and Rockwall, TX.

Named after the notorious Mrs Simpson, Wally (Cornish) is in a 1998 New York auction house examining a vast collection from the life of the British king who gave up the throne for the woman he loved. In swirling flashback, Wally's story is woven in with that of Edward (D'Arcy) and Wallis (Riseborough) in the 20s and 30s, including Wallis' marriages to the violent Win (Hayward) and the accommodating Ernest (Harbour). Meanwhile, Wally is stuck in a cold marriage to William (Coyle) and looked after by a kindly security guard (Isaac).

In 1998 came the news that the estate of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor was to be auctioned off. No one was more interested in this news than Wally Winthrop, who discovers the romantic story of King Edward VIII and American socialite Wallis Simpson. Wally, who is trapped in an unhappy marriage, is enchanted by the way the unlikely couple were in love and she dreams of being in a love like that. She becomes obessed with Edward and Wallis and begins researching into their romance, by travelling to various places that the couple frequented and even visiting several auctions of the Windsor estate.

In December 1936, the UK was left reeling after the news that King Edward VIII would abdicate the throne, after only 326 days served as the head of the country. The reason for his resignation was so he could successfully marry two times divorcee Wallis Simpson, an American socialite, who would never be accepted because of her previous failed marriages.

Serving in both technical and business development roles on projects for organizations like Marriott & Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp:
• 3 years SaaS (Captive Reach) including servers, storage, database, networking, admin, analytics on the AWS platform
• 3 years SaaS & CCaS turnkey solutions for contact centers with centralized & distributed agents on the InContact platform
• 3 years digital marketing: media spend & social campaigns, development & consulting for web/mobile/social
• 12 years B2B, enterprise software sales & professional services at the director to CXO level
I currently manage a tech company, a digital marketing firm and am building a nonprofit. I love helping organizations solve technical challenges; building technical teams; and growth projects where organizations want to increase revenues, communities, users, downloads & subscriptions.
I've created 6 companies as a sole owner or 50/50 partner. I also co-created an LLC to take a cloud-based ERP system to market or sell it to a Fortune 100 enterprise software manufacturer. I spent 2007-2010 on a steering committee creating a nonprofit to help the City of Burbank achieve zero waste. Love has been a big influence in the projects I take on – from 2007 to 2014 I helped my daughter launch 3 companies, the newest company has an eCommerce website.
After starting and running a network integrator for 10 years, I co-founded a digital marketing firm in 2012 that focuses on web and mobile apps . To fast-track my skills, I took a job at a high tech creative agency that is sophisticated enough to produce a horse race betting mobile application for a prestigious race track pushing millions of dollars through the app during the first season the app was launched. Technology is changing so quickly, I had to align myself with an expert in the space of digital marketing, digital advertising, mobile applications databases and content management systems. In July of 2015 we agreed to end our alliance and I relinquished my options in the firm.
I am a futurist and am constantly looking for ways to improve existing products. As a fan and hobbyist, I love 3D printing technology, virtual reality (desktop and mobile ie Google #IAmCardboard), wearables (Muse brain sensing headband for meditation, Apple watch, Droid watch, FitBit, etc.), Internet of Things aka IoT, space travel, robotics, drones, artificial intelligence and am particularly fascinated by technologies like the Deka Arm that help people who have lost a limb. I'm also keeping an eye on machine learning, quant applications, avatar technology and carbon nanotubes technology.

I am ready to experiment: Krutika Desai Khan
[ Sun, Feb 24, 2013 ]
Mumbai, Feb 24 (IANS) Television actress Krutika Desai Khan, who has gone bald for her role in "Uttaran", says she has no qualms in experimenting with her looks on the small screen.
"Since the last few years when I have moved on to character roles, it doesn't matter (how I look). I am ready to experiment, go fat, go bald ... anything," Krutika, who will play the role of Ekadish, Akash a.k.a. Vishnu's mother, in the show, told IANS.
The actress is excited about it.
"I didn't think I was the first one to go bald on TV. I was excited because it was a different look but when someone told me it is being done for the first time, I was like, 'that makes it even more exciting'," she said.
The actress has been part of the television industry for over two decades and has done shows like "Buniyaad", "Chandrakanta", "Ye Meri Life Hai", "Annu Ki Ho Gayee Waah Bhai Waah" and "Ram Milaayi Jodi".
The actress feels television has advanced to a great deal over the years and is turning more realistic.
"TV is slowly moving towards more real looks than being decked up all the time. There was a time when it was all about being decked up with wigs and heavy jewellery and all that," she said.
Krutika is content with her journey so far.
"I think the journey has been eventful. An actor is always dissatisfied and when I feel like this, I look back at my work and feel that I have done different kind of roles. Then at that time I feel a little satisfied," she said.
"People do think of me as a versatile actress. I feel I haven't created a niche. If you want a satisfying journey then you don't want a niche, as you can keep on exploring different genres.
"If you see my career graph, I have stopped working for years in between. I feel that I reach a saturation point and so do my audience. So then I take a break and then come back. Now also, I was feeling the same thing, but then this (the show) came along. I am excited all over again," she added.
The actress's plate is full at the moment.
"I am doing a show 'Phir Subah Hogi' and then 'Uttaran'. So my plate is overflowing right now," she said.
