Editor's note: During the dog days of August, much of the city of Barcelona – including many dining establishments – shuts down for an extended vacation. We're happy to rerun this review of La Pubilla, one of our favorite Catalan restaurants, which remains open this month.
When chef Alexis Peñalver was looking for a location to open La Pubilla, he found this gem adjacent to the Mercat de la Llibertat in Gràcia and decided to keep the name of the original establishment. Continue »
Most people who visit Barcelona are sure to spend at least some time at one of the city's beaches. Yet few are aware that when seeking respite from the bustling urban streets, heading up into the forested hills above the city can be just as pleasant. Vallvidrera, a village at the entrance to Collserola National Park that offers gorgeous views of the surrounding forests and the city below, is just the place for such an excursion. Continue »
As a child, Manel Palou spent hours playing in the kitchen of Andorra, his parents' restaurant in Barcelona's Barrio El Born. Later, as a teenager, he helped out behind the counter while his brother Miki cooked in the kitchen. Originally bought by his grandfather in 1952, the small restaurant had been around for as long as anyone could remember; even the old-timers in the neighborhood can't remember where the name comes from or who the previous owners were.

At first glance, Restaurant Roma doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary. The nondescript brown tiles covering the floors, the dark wood bar, the vaguely Mediterranean-inspired wall décor and the rectangular paper Ikea lamps are similar to those at hundreds of other midrange restaurants throughout Barcelona.

Mercè Vins is exactly between two worlds, located on the quiet, narrow and dark Carrer d'Amargós, close to the shopping area of Portal de l'Àngel, near the Cathedral and Plaça de Sant Jaume, and on the border between the Barrio Gótico and Born neighborhoods, where there are numerous offices and public institutions, filled with employees looking for a breakfast that goes beyond a sad, ersatz "croissant" or for a lunch that approximates the kind of meal they would get if they were able to sneak back home.

Catalan owners, Filipino chefs and a menu offering comfort food inspired by the cooking of Iberian sailors: La Flauta, a restaurant-cum-tapas-bar that goes long both on good taste and good value, is an excellent reminder of the benefits of Barcelona's being a port town. Continue »
When chef Alexis Peñalver was looking for a location to open La Pubilla last year, he found this gem adjacent to el Mercado de la Llibertat in Gràcia and decided to keep the name of the original establishment. Pubilla is a bygone word in Catalan for the eldest daughter destined to receive the family inheritance in the event that there were no male heirs. Nowadays a pubilla (the prettiest girl in town) is named reina de la fiesta at many festivals in Catalonia. Continue »

"I know well this decision wasn't easy for any of the Machinists or their families, and I know that many of those men and women decided Boeing's latest offer was still unacceptable," Murray added. "Their concerns about income and retirement security for current and future generations of aerospace workers - and all American workers - are legitimate."
Bearden, speaking in place of District 751 President Tom Wroblewski, who has been ill, said Boeing production workers "faced tremendous pressure from every source imaginable." He took a dig at "the politicians and the media, and others, who truly didn't have a right to get into our businesses, were aligned against us and did their best to influence our folks' votes."
Machinists International President Tom Buffenbarger, who forced the issue to a vote over the objections of local union leaders, said in a statement that "the impact of this agreement extends far beyond IAM members who voted today.
"For decades to come, the entire region will benefit from the economic activity and technological innovations that will accompany" the jet production.
Washington state has always been the most natural place for Boeing Co. to build the 777X, since most of the company's production is still done in the Puget Sound area. Chicago-based Boeing offered to keep the 777X in the region but sought two big deals: An extension of tax breaks all the way to 2040 and a new contract with the Machinists union that would transition workers away from traditional pensions.
In November, state lawmakers swiftly approved the tax benefits — valued at some $9 billion — but the Machinists rejected a proposed contract shortly afterward. After the initial contract rejection, Boeing immediately began soliciting bids from other states. The company said it received submissions for 54 locations in 22 states.
The competition has underscored Boeing's commanding bargaining position in an economy where top-notch manufacturing jobs remain scarce and elected officials feel obligated to aggressively pursue such opportunities.
Boeing improved its offer after the last vote by machinists. An initial plan to slow the rate that workers move up the pay scale was tossed while the company also offered $5,000 in additional bonus money and improved dental coverage.
In addition to the pension issue, opponents decried increased health care expenses and slower wage growth. However, some machinists will likely see their base salaries rise above $100,000 under the new agreement.
Boeing began offering the 777X in May, and company officials have said they needed to move swiftly to decide where the plane will be built.
The company recently received orders for 225 new 777X planes from three airlines at the Dubai Airshow.
Boeing has said the 777X is expected to carry as many as 400 passengers and be more fuel efficient than the current 777.
Associated Press writer Mike Baker in Seattle and photographer Elaine Thompson in Everett contributed to this report.

Jan 14 2013, 9:51am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
New Delhi, Jan 14 — The Supreme Court Monday allowed telecom operators whose licences were cancelled by its Feb 2, 2012 order to continue their services till Feb 4.
A bench of Justice G.S Singhvi and Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan passed the order on a Department of Telecommunications (DoT) application seeking that the existing licence holders be allowed to continue operations till the auction scheduled for March 11, 2013 was completed.
However, the court only extended the time till Feb 4, the next date of the hearing.
The court, while adjourning the hearing till Feb 4, asked the DoT to give the names of the successful bidders in the auction held on Nov 12 and 14, 2012.
it also asked the DoT to indicate the reserve price that it would fix for the auction scheduled to be held in March.
However, the apex court, in the course of hearing, made it clear that all those telecom service providers who had not participated in the auction of the cancelled licences would not be allowed to continue and take advantage of the situation.
"There is no reason that they (telecom operators) should continue in the circles where they did not participate in the bidding process," the court said.
As court said this, senior counsel Harish Salve, appearing for one of the service providers, told that court that telecom operators did not participate in the auction held in November last year because of high reserve price as it did not make any economic sense.
He told the court that they were keen to continue but not with the existing price and want to know what was the revised price.
The DoT in its affidavit told the apex court that it has decided to hold another round of auction in four service areas of Delhi, Mumbai, Karnataka and Rajasthan in 1800 MHz band and in all 21 service areas in 800 MHz band where no bids were received.
The court was told that the government had already fixed a lower reserve price for 1800 MHz in the four circles Delhi, Mumbai, Karnataka and Rajasthan and revised reserve price for 800 MHz band was under consideration.
The affidavit said that government has decided to conduct an auction for 900 MHz in three metro service areas where the licences are due for renewal in November 2014. This, the affidavit said was in accordance with the recommendations of TRAI that mandates to conduct such auctions at least 18 months prior to due date of renewal.
Summiting that its efforts were aimed at an optimal realisation of revenue by the utilisation of spectrum for which no bids were received, the DoT said, "it would be in public interest to utilise a scarce resource with effective participation and proper discovery of market price rather than allowing it to remain unutilised due to non participation."
The DoT urged the court that in case it did not favour extending the period of operation by the service providers whose licences have been cancelled by it, then Telecom Department may be permitted to issue them temporary licences with revised terms and conditions including higher price till March 11, 2013, auction was completed.
The price that the telecom companies would be paying in case they opt for temporary licences would be either the reserve price or the auction price whichever is higher. This enhanced price would be effective from Dec 19, 2012.
It said that it would provide subscribers an uninterrupted services.

- Lee Bontecou, Untitled, 1966. Structure made of polyester, fiberglass, and metal frame, with collage of fabrics, skins, and paint; 9 feet long by 6 feet tall by 22 inches deep.
Lee Bontecou is one of the great underappreciated artists. Walking through Elles for the umpteenth time late last night, when Seattle Art Museum was on the verge of closing and I really didn't have time to get caught up in any one artist among many, I became transfixed in front of this giant insect/race-car/war machine on the wall. I've seen it before, and other of her works, but I sometimes forget how much is in a single one of these pieces. Her works since the 1960s are less interesting to me, but there's so much in these massive early constructions that I still want to mountaintop-shout her name. (A different 1966 sculpture by the artist was a part of my childhood that I'd forgotten for years.)
Some of the materials are left alone, patched up like pieces on a quilt. Others are shaped and slung over frames of steel. Curves wear airbrushed paint for adornment. You can see the angry battle masks of ancient societies, the hopeful and glinting parking lots of 1950s American car dealerships and airports, the Pentagon, the Borg.
Bontecou stands out even in a room of towering, majestic works of art by the late Louise Bourgeois and Louise Nevelson, titans of the 20th century. And this particular sculpture in Elles isn't even her most aggressive—toothy, as she might phrase it. "Like war equipment, with teeth" is how she once described her visceral, dark, crawling, swooping wall sculptures that look too top-heavy to avoid threatening you with their stowed weight.
Bontecou retired from the art world after the 1960s, not making her roaring comeback until a retrospective at the Hammer Museum in LA in 2003 (the exhibition site has lots of images), after which she became iconic but far from a household name. (A 1963 photograph of her by Ugo Mulas became the cover of Spoon's 2007 album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, but few people can probably identify that badass coolly surveying her studio.)
Untitled, 1966 is a map of the universe. My eyes scan the surfaces hungrily. Meanwhile, my mind races up and down paths in history, art, science. The loving bondage of Eva Hesse. Robert Rauschenberg's messed bed. The Development of a Bottle in Space by Boccioni. More, more, more; the looking-tripping can go on forever. Scarabs. Alien. Boeing. Canoes. Whole schools of philosophy are alive in that pure velvet void at the lower right.
January 15 will be Lee Bontecou's 81st birthday. Which drink do you want to drink in her honor?
Elles is up for two more weekends only.

Quality second hand goods can be more durable than equivalent new goods. Second-hand goods may have faults which are not apparent even if examined purchasing sight unseen for example from an Internet auction site has further unknowns.

Twice-Baked Potatoes Recipe
4.5 10
One of the things I like about twice-baked potatoes is that they are very versatile. They can be served as a complement to an entree, or they can be the main course with a salad. Either way, they are tasty.
- 6 large baking potatoes
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 to 1 cup milk or heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon minced chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Dash pepper
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- Paprika
- Scrub and pierce potatoes. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells.
- In a large bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in the milk, bacon, onion, chives, salt, pepper and 1 cup cheese.
- Spoon into potato shells. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 6 servings.

Police 'failed' domestic abuse victims
Live updates
Police dog 'close member' of officer's family
As a former member of the dog unit myself, I know the strong bond between a police officer and his dog.
Whilst they are working dogs, they also become a close and important member of the police officer's family. This is a very sad occasion.
Dog killed in training paired with handler 'for four years'
Baron had been paired with his handler for the last four years. Essex Police says they had made many arrests together:
He was injured and taken immediately to a veterinary practice but sadly he had to be put to sleep.
The circumstances surrounding this tragic incident are currently being reviewed.
Baron's handler and family are understandably very upset.
Police dog dies after falling from roof during exercise
A police dog has died during a training exercise in Essex. Baron, a five-year-old German Shepherd working for Essex Police, was taking part in the exercise with his handler at a disused building near Chelmsford yesterday when he fell from a flat roof.
Police launch manhunt after robber flees court
Police have launched a manhunt after a 19-year-old fled a court dock as a judge was about to send him to jail.
Unemployed Ricky Kerry ran from the dock at Southend Crown Court after being sentenced to 28 months in prison for robbery, Essex Police said.
A spokesman added: "He made off on foot at just after 12.45pm in the direction of Baxter Avenue. He was wearing a grey tracksuit and has brown eyes."
It is understood that Kerry, of Jones Close, Southend, escaped through heavy double doors at the entrance to the court and down two flights of stairs.
Security guards chased him but could not catch him.
Police said Kerry was being sentenced for a robbery in Sutton Road, Southend, in April in which he punched a man and took his mobile phone.
Anyone with information should contact Essex Police on 101.
Essex Police 'must do more to protect women from domestic abuse'
Essex Police has been told it must do more to protect women from abusive partners.
It follows strong criticism of the way the force handled three cases, in which women died. Maria Stubbings, Christine Chambers and Jeanette Goodwin were all murdered by their ex-partners.
Essex Police says it is committed to helping victims of domestic abuse and acknowledges that more needs to be done to streamline processes and improve communication.

Police 'failed' domestic abuse victims
Following a report into the failings of Essex Police in dealing with domestic violence the HMIC have published a series of recommendations.Read the full story ›
HMIC: More action need to tackle domestic violence
Domestic abuse is a very serious crime, as the tragic cases of Maria Stubbings, Christine Chambers, her two-year-old daughter Shania and Jeanette Goodwin demonstrate. And it's absolutely vital the police get the handling of these cases right for victims.
Essex Police should be recognised for taking the positive step of asking for this issue to be reviewed, and the force has taken a number of important steps to address how domestic abuse cases are handled.
However, there is still more work to do to ensure that victims get the best possible service from their force.
Essex Police 'committed on tackling domestic violence'
This report recognises the substantial steps that have been taken to make sure suspects are arrested at the earliest opportunity, that calls are dealt with quickly and that intelligence is developed to identify those at greatest risk.
But I also recognise that it highlights several areas where we need to streamline our processes, improve communication, and provide a better service to victims.
There has been some really positive work done so far and I have already acknowledged that there is still much work to be done.
We are very conscious that we must get our response right every single time.
We are committed to helping victims of domestic abuse and we would urge anyone suffering at the hands of a violent offender to contact us immediately.
Essex Police domestic abuse failings
Repeated failures in Essex Police's handling of reports of abuse were highlighted by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) following the cases of:
- Maria Stubbings, a 50-year-old mother of two from Chelmsford, was strangled with a dog lead in 2008 by Chivers who also killed a previous girlfriend.
- The IPCC found there was no assessment of the risk Chivers posed to Ms Stubbings and as a result she was not afforded proper protection.
- Christine Chambers, 38, from Braintree, who was shot dead in 2011, along with her daughter Shania, by her ex-partner David Oakes.
- Ms Chambers had been complaining about violence from Oakes for two years before the murders. The IPCC found the force's response was "inadequate".
- Jeanette Goodwin, 47, was stabbed 30 times by Martin Bunch, 44, in 2011, in front of her husband at her home in Southend, Essex.
- The IPCC found she received an "inadequate response" from Essex Police on the day of her murder, adding that the force did not recognise the need for urgent action.
Police force criticised over handling of domestic abuse
A police force in Essex, which failed four murder victims, has been criticised over their handing of domestic violence cases.
Repeated failures in Essex Police's handling of reports of abuse were highlighted by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The report follows the 2008 killing of Maria Stubbings by her ex-boyfriend Marc Chivers, the 2011 fatal shootings of Christine Chambers and her two-year-old daughter Shania by David Oakes and the murder of Jeanette Goodwin at the hands of her ex eight weeks later.
In the report, HMIC inspectors said the force took steps to improve the way it handles such cases but said further work is needed to ensure the risks to victims are properly managed.

United BackpackersMelbourne, Australia
Loved this hostel and great location right near flinders street station and CBD. Everything was clean and rooms were well equipped. One of the best lounge room set ups I have ever seen with the large steps, meant that there was plenty of room for everyone to have space. Would highly recommend this hostel if needing to stay in the area.

The Times Hostel - Camden PlaceDublin, Ireland
This hostel has a really funky, friendly and social vibe without becoming a party hostel (where you never sleep). The rooms were clean, spacious and well equipped and this would have to be one of the best kitchen set ups I have seen and it was well maintained. The only downside for me was not having a separate communal toilet downstairs in the common room as with shared en-suites in dorms, having a backup is often very handy. Overall, would happily stay here again.
A&O City HackerbrueckeMunich, Germany
We were staying during Oktoberfest but in the four nights we stayed we only had our bathroom (shared between 8 people) cleaned after the first night so it wasn't too pleasant. The dorms are basic but spacious enough. Wifi was really bad and didn't get better even when you paid for it - but this also could have been due to Oktoberfest and so many people online. The staff were great and would assist with early check-ins when they could.
Old Kings Fuessen Design HostelFussen, Germany
We loved our stay here, not only was it central and easy to walk to from the train station but the themed rooms made for a great atmosphere and loved the communal kitchen and table downstairs as it was really easy to meet other travellers. One of the best laundry services we have had in a year on the road and the staff were always willing to help for activities and tours in the area. Would highly recommend this hostel and this town in general if touring - much better than a day trip.
Bellpark HostelLucerne, Switzerland
We had a lovely stay here but was a surprise to have booked a 6 bed ensuite dorm and have the main door unlocked so that other people could also use the bathroom, for security and limited space. The breakfast was a great change to have the fried rice and egg and loved the staff. I would love for them to assist more with the check in during the middle of the day as having reception closed until 4pm was a bit frustrating, however once we were in, the location was never an issue to tour comfortably
Funny-FarmInterlaken, Switzerland
This would have to be our favourite hostel for views during a year of travelling! Amazing. The rooms are basic and its a downside that there are no lockers, but the staff were great and would store key documents like passports etc. in their safe for you. I would have loved to have access to a kitchen (even just kettle, microwave and fridge). Overall we had a great stay and would happily stay again.
City Hostel GenevaGeneva, Switzerland
Centrally located hostel to get around to the key attractions in Geneva and having the travel card really made a great saving as accommodation in Geneva was quite expensive. We loved the kitchen set up where there was an individual locker for each room/person (this included the fridge) so you never had the issue of off food sitting in a communal fridge for days/weeks. Common areas were bright and comfy and the staff were happy to help with any request. Also great shared bathroom setup.
SLO Living HostelLyon, France
This was a really funky hostel and we enjoyed our stay. The rooms were bright and spacious and we rarely had to wait for a shower or toilet to be available in the shared blocks. Loved the outdoor garden and relaxation area, however if you are a non smoker it is sometimes hard to escape the smell. The only real downside for us was the lack of a kitchen but the staff were prepared to help microwave if required in their staff kitchen which was a help. Overall a lovely place to stay to explore Lyon.
Lisbon Poets HostelLisbon, Portugal
Loved the common room in this hostel, so open and funky with all the different bean bags, couches and hammock. Has a great set up, plus having the kitchen available really makes a difference. They provided a great breakfast and the rooms are well equipped. We were welcomed by friendly staff on arrival and they were available to help at any time. We really enjoyed this hostel and wished that we had longer in Lisbon. Highly recommend!"
Casa CaracolCadiz, Spain
Very funky hostel and loved some of the common areas. The rooms are bright and beds well set up with shelves and points but would prefer for improved security to be able to lock the doors - but you still have lockers for key valuables so still ok. The hostel did some great cook ups for dinner, however if you cant wait until 10pm to eat, then at least the kitchen will be available for you (but this is Spain time). If you are looking for a central hostel in Cadiz (great location) and social.
Hostal Playa SurConil de la Frontera, Spain
We were so happy with our stay here and had a very relaxing break. The owner was so helpful and was continuously looking for ways to improve the hostel, such as putting in the microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster/oven. The place is clean and very centrally located, and is fantastic for couples wanting a quiet break. There is no common room as such, but you have enough space in the rooms to relax or close to the beach and town to enjoy.
La Casa de AnaMalaga, Spain
We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone who was looking for a laid back hostel experience. Since it is a small apartment and no bunk dorm rooms, staying here feels like a home away from home. Ana the host is so lovely and is happy to help you plan your days if you require.
HelloBCN HostelBarcelona, Spain
Great hostel central to the key attractions in Barcelona. Loved the common area and kitchen was well equipped. They provided a great breakfast and staff were wonderful. Best room keys we have had on our trip so far! Only improvement would be to install lights for each bed as that would assist with rude people who turn the main bedroom light on at all hours of the night. Would strongly recommend this hostel.
Pop' HostelAvignon, France
Had a great stay here right in the centre of Avignon - you could not ask for a better location. The hostel had a wonderful feel to it and loved the happy hour specials at the bar (fantastic value with the tapas). Staff were lovely and helpful. Bed design was the best so far, lights, power and usb points and full curtains. Would highly recommend!
Hostel Alessandro DowntownRome, Italy
Rooms are spacious, bright and clean - which is a great start. Location is central to the train station and easy to get around to key attractions. Was great to have the kitchen and a fridge, however there seemed to be different crockery etc available on different days, plus there were large groups in using the kitchen for a big cook up and made it difficult to access at times. All in all was a lovely stay and enjoyed the hostel, would recommend.
PLUS Camping RomaRome, Italy
We only found out that there was actually a microwave and kettle that is in the Laundryroom after our stay, so that was a bit annoying. Location is not convenient at all to tour the city - even for day trips as the return trip always takes forever with the bus connections. Camp area is noisy as other travellers mistake tents for actual soundproof walls and the security and staff do nothing to assist keeping noise down during the night. Pool area is fantastic and the camp is nice in general.
PLUS Camping RomaRome, Italy
Staying in the tents and we really enjoy the set up. You always have a bit of a walk to get to the toilet/shower blocks, but they are well maintained and clean. The camp really needs to have an onsite kitchen. Pool setup is fantastic and a great atmosphere. The worst thing about staying with this chain is the slow check-in time as you can wait up to and over an hour in line (really needs to be improved).
Ostello S. FoscaVenice, Italy
We had quite an enjoyable experience at this hostel, good location and the private room was lovely overlooking the courtyard and the river. Reception staff were lovely and helpful, and the general common room was open and clean. The biggest area for improvement would be the kitchen as it was the dirtiest I have seen in 10 months so far of staying in hostels around the world - providing that is improved, or you are prepared for it, you will have a lovely stay.
PLUS Camping JollyVenice, Italy
This is a convenient place to stay if you are on Busabout due to the drop point, however it is a long way from the city itself, so can be a long day even if you take the shuttle service. The pool, onsite shop and restaurant are great however it would be better if there was a camp kitchen. The biggest downside was if you wanted sleep, as I got more staying in a 40 bed dorm, lack of curtesy from other patrons and no assistance from the onsite security- it was quieter in a tent than a private cabin
Jaeger's MunichMunich, Germany
We stayed in the 40 bed dorm purely for the experience and for a cheap night. We were happily surprised by the setup and had a good nights sleep. There are two big dorms, and the other one with the bathrooms attached does get very hot and sticky. The downside to here is the lack of fridge or kitchen and the lack of walls between the showers.... as long as you are prepared for that, enjoy. Oh and the welcome shots were a nice addition :-) Central location to many restaurants and Oktoberfest.
Hostel MondpalastDresden, Germany
Had a fantastic stay here and would again if in the area. It was an easy walk to the old town, supermarkets and cheap eateries, plus the onsite kitchen and lounge was a great way to chill out (especially as a non smoker). Plenty of toilets and showers and bright and clean rooms.
MEININGER Berlin Mitte HumboldthausBerlin, Germany
Fantastic Hostel and would highly recommend staying here if you were heading to Berlin.
St Christopher's Inn - Bauhaus HostelBruges, Belgium
Our stay here was great, and would highly recommend this hostel as a great base to explore Amsterdam. The only downside was that they didn't have any facilities to assist the longer journey traveller such as a basic kitchen (microwave) or even easy access to cups so that you could have a glass of water, you had to buy bottles from the bar. But if this was the worst issue, overall it is a great hostel.
Hotel de ParisParis, France
While the hotel is not located right in the direct tourist district, it is right next to a subway station which so cheap and so easy to use to get around to all the sights. Rooms were clean and quite spacious and it was really great that the reception had a mini kitchen and microwave on site that they let you use so that was a big help. Only having one bathroom on each floor could potentially be an issue, yet we never had an issue for the 3 nights we stayed. The staff were also all fantastic.
Smart Hyde Park Inn HostelLondon, England
We had a good stay at the hostel but there are a few things that could be done to make it a really great stay. You have to pay for lockers under your bed (that take up all the space), the toilets and bathrooms are on different levels for the non en-suite rooms and for a tall person, they would struggle to be able to sit down as they are pretty small. The common areas are good but need more chairs and they need to get people to move away from the doors and windows when smoking downstairs.
HostelPoint BrightonBrighton, England
The rooms are bright & clean, plus the design of the individual lockers under the beds were fantastic. The en-suite bathrooms can get a little wet as the shower door doesn't seal properly. The breakfast has a good range and is a nice inclusion. Unfortunately if you are a non smoker you will get the smoke wafting in the common room as people stand right on the doorsteps with all the doors open. The kitchen (while it has potential) lacks cooking utensils. I would still recommend for the location.
Bath BackpackersBath, England
Fantastic location in Bath, easy to get to from the train station and to explore the rest of the town. Rooms were bright and clean. The only downside was that the common room area is a little small for the amount of people staying and the kitchen storage area probably needs to be a little more organised. But aside from that would recommend this hostel for a great stay.
The Fort Boutique HostelYork, England
Such a central location in York and the interior design of the hostel was so bright and bubbly that you want to almost change room every night to see all the different themes. Great facilities and having a separate mirror and hairdrying station as you can always get access to a bathroom. Only downside is not having a permanent receptionist as such, but it wasn't an issue as they give you all the required information and contact details. Would highly recommend this hostel. Enjoy!
YHA WhitbyWhitby, England
The location of the hostel is fantastic as is right beside the Abbey and has amazing views over the town. The hostel itself has some amazing features such as the large size kitchen and dining room, plus we loved the common room as it was so nice and bright. The room was spacious and despite a small mouldy smell, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hostel.
Hatters at Hilton ChambersManchester, England
Loved this hostel. Great variety for breakfast and the rooms were really comfortable. Common room was well equipped and loved the playstation setup too! It can be a little busy and crowded in the kitchen and common room in peak times, but overall would highly recommend this hostel.
St Andrews Tourist HostelSt Andrews, Scotland
We loved our stay here. The rooms were spacious, bright and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked and its nice having the all day tea and coffee available. There was a nice atmosphere around the common rooms and a really comfortable place to stay that we wished we could have stayed longer. Would be good to have a bit more signage on the street to find it, but the staff were so helpful that it really didn't matter in the end.
Inverness Tourist HostelInverness, Scotland
We could highly recommend this hostel and had a great stay. The kitchen and common room are well equipped, but both can get a little crowded when the hostel is full. Rooms were clean and comfortable and bathroom setup was great. Plus the location is so central to get around and tour.
Loch Ness Youth HostelLoch Ness, Scotland
The hostel itself is lovely and facilities great. The most frustrating part is the 5pm check-in as you have no time to actually make use of the location right on the loch and beside the great glen trail. There are no powerpoints in the rooms which can make things challenging and they mentioned online that they are close to a supermarket but realistically this is a local post office that I was told may or may not be open.
Roy Bridge Hostel & Grey Corrie LodgeFort William, Scotland
Loved the location of this hostel as it is in a small little town surrounded by farmland, so quiet. The hostel isn't new and modern, but it has clean and adequate facilities that you require for a stay. The kitchen was well set up and we enjoyed chatting to other travellers in the shared common room. Would happily stay again.
Paddy's Palace BelfastBelfast, Northern Ireland
Simple hostel but ok for a nights stay. Great breakfast but didn't help that the staff slept in on the day and were not too worried about setting up close to 20 minutes late - when you have a flight to catch and you are on a budget, timing and getting what you paid for is important. The hostel does need a little clean/upgrade in some areas, but overall still an ok stay.
Belfast City BackpackerBelfast, Northern Ireland
Was a nice hostel to stay in, good bright common areas and they also provide a good variety breakfast. Was an enjoyable stay however we would prefer that the staff when selling the tours have a bit more knowledge about timings.
We actually enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay and slept in both the 6 and 9 dorm rooms and could recommend both. There isn't as much storage space in the 9 bunk room, but if everyone is considerate, there was no issue at all. The staff were so helpful and were able to accommodate us into the same bed for 2 nights rather than having to change as we ended up making two separate 1 night bookings. Would strongly recommend this hostel.
We had a fantastic stay here and would be happy to recommend to any travellers. It is so close to the bus station and a great central location to Eyre Park. The staff were so helpful and friendly and we were also happy with the breakfast provided too. The facility is all new so clean and in good condition and seemed to attract similar like minded travellers rather than the permanent 'live ins'.
Loved the stay and the staff were fantastic. Would highly recommend this hostel.
Paddy's Palace KillarneyKillarney, Ireland
We had a fantastic stay here and the location was fantastic. We would have preferred the locks on the bedrooms downstairs be updated as they are old school keys so the doors remain unlocked along with other people not closing the door means that people can walk in straight off the street into the room. But aside from that it was great and we didn't feel unsafe at any point.
West Side YMCANew York, USA
The best things about this hostel is the location and the gym facilities. The rest simply is just a bed for the night, and you can feel the springs through the thin mattress. There is no change area for the showers as the curtains open straight into the shared basin area. The bathrooms could do with an overhaul but were much cleaner on level 8 then on 9. The cleaning staff do an amazing job considering the amenities. You pay for luggage storage which is only available on check-in or out. No ice.

DC Lofty - Convention CenterWashington DC, USA
The dorm rooms were comfortable including the beds and there was sufficient space in the room for bags and to move around. The kitchen and lounge areas are also comfortable and well equipped, however there was at times lacking some cutlery, plates etc, plus it was difficult having a rule where food had to labelled individually rather than in one bag as things would go missing. The downside to this hostel was the bathrooms and would be good to see improved. While still clean, needed upgrade.
West Side YMCANew York, USA
The location of the hostel is amazing, plus the facilities at the gym are brilliant. As per previous reviews, the accommodation itself is very very basic and could do with an overhaul. The beds are not the most comfortable as quite thin so you feel the springs a little. The female shared bathroom on level 9 was not very good and would flood everytime that someone has a shower. But overall I would still stay here again as it is still one of the cheapest for the Manhatten area and was central.
HI BostonBoston, USA
Hostel is jam packed with amenities and the included breakfast has a great range. Rooms were clean and well set up (not a lot of room, but enough to still get around). Location was fantastic.
HI-TorontoToronto, Canada
Really good hostel and enjoyed the stay. Was great to have the onsite bar and served cheap and delicious meals. Great facilities in the kitchen and really loved the shared condiments, leftover food section as it really helps to have these to create a better meal. I only rated the security down a little as I had some food stolen from my bag in the fridge - but this can happen at most hostels.
Wicked Hostels - CalgaryCalgary, Canada
When we had initially red the reviews and info about this hostel, we were a little hesitant at first as we just had a nights stopover in Calgary, but we were so glad that we stayed here as the staff are fantastic, everyone at the hostel were so friendly and you could walk into a room and have everyone say hello, so it was so easy to meet and get to know other travellers. Even better was the breakfast, the range was fantastic and because they have longer hours to eat, there is no rush. Loved it!
HI-Vancouver CentralVancouver, Canada
Hostel stay was fantastic and was a great location, central to everything. We loved the fact that there was heating and it was maintained at a great level. Had a good range for breakfast and general facilities were great, would be great to see some improved cooking facilities in the kitchen as only a microwave and toaster (but we were aware of this when we booked anyway).

City Hostel SeattleSeattle, USA
The stay was fantastic and by far the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in, you can tell the owners take pride and the staff work hard. It was also great to see the difference that having a dishwasher in the kitchen made as all cutlery was clean and in good condition. Breakfast had a great range and the facilities on site, i.e. shared bathrooms, wifi, kitchen and the downstairs cinema as great. The only downside for me was that I do not believe that hostels are a place for children.
Amsterdam HostelSan Francisco, USA
Stay was fantastic and enjoy the 4 person rooms rather than bigger dorms. Would suggest that the beds need ladders as quite challenging to get up without them. Also installing an individual shelf for the top bunks and separate reading lights would be fantastic.

When I turned up the salon looked clean, modern and busy so was worried about noise, but when I was taken to the therapy room I was taken by surprise at how different it was - wooden panelling, lanterns, dim lighting, ambient music- really calm. The therapist told me to take a few minutes to undress and relax, and spoke to me beforehand to tailor my massage to my needs. The massage was amazing - I felt really relaxed and almost fell asleep. She also was quite firm throughout, which was what I had requested. I'd definitely go back again. Only criticism would be the room was next to the bathroom and occasionally you could hear water passing through pipes, but not enough to be annoying.

Eye Spy Glasgow: Tiger Tiger burning bright
Eye Spy Glasgow, Iain Lundy / / Lifestyle
A walk along a Glasgow street nowadays doesn't just reflect the city's rich heritage - it reveals how multi-cultural a place it now is.
Last week this column highlighted the church in the West End where Polish soldiers worshipped during World War 2.
There are representatives of almost every country on earth in Glasgow - and most have left their mark.
A walk across Jamaica Street bridge reveals one of the most striking and dramatic images.
Painted on a black wall on Clyde Street is a massive piece of graffiti art depicting a tiger, commissioned in 2010 to mark the Chinese Year of the Tiger.
The tiger is shown chasing a large ball of string and the mural is wrapped round three walls so it can be seen "folded in" on itself.
But it wasn't the city's Chinese community that commissioned the piece - it was the idea of the Singapore-based Tiger Beer company.
A plaque on the wall beside the tiger explains the reasoning behind what was called the Tiger Lucky Eight project.
It says: "Tiger Beer has commissioned a unique series of collaborations curated by Josef Valentine across the UK to celebrate 2010 the Year of the Tiger. Five of these represent the elements of the Chinese zodiac: Water, Earth, Wood, Fire and Metal.
"This mural, depicting Fire, was designed and produced by McFaul Studio, whose creative director John McFaul's family hail from the city of Glasgow."
The mural is close to the South Portland Street suspension bridge and strikingly visible from the south bank of the river.
It took the McFaul workers three days to complete the project and a time-lapse Youtube video shows the work from beginning to end in two minutes, 20 seconds.
The end result is an epic, psychedelic, fiery piece of work.
The Lucky Eight project also saw murals being completed in Birmingham, Brighton, London and Manchester

Obese Teens More Likely to Be Attracted to Fast Food Ads
Fast food advertising can be extremely persuasive, especially for obese teens a new study found. Researchers from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire showed more than 2,500 teens and young adults fast food ads with the company's name taken out. Researchers found that those who could easily identify the company behind these ads were more likely to be obese, HealthDay revealed.

Barefoot running is gaining traction, as more and more company's start making and selling shoes to let you get into the sport.
For those not really aware of barefoot running, the idea is that you have as little cushioning as possible between you and the ground. In the case of the Merrell Barefoot shoes that means about 4mm of cushioning and no instep or big soft heel as you're probably used to.
As you can imagine, that means you are going to have to learn to run in a very different way and heel striking is entirely out of the question. What's also out of the question is jumping into the new shoes and running your usual 10k, or even 5km distances without having to re-learn how to run.
Why? Well, because you have to mid-foot strike, but also you have to change your gait and your cadence, and that involves using different muscles.
Merrell Barefoot
- Platform
- iPhone
- Price
- Free
- Where
- iTunes
To help you make a gradual from your regular trainers to the new shoe, the company has created an iPhone app to guide you through the transition and let you manage your training at the same time.
The app details the four key stages you'll have to complete and recommends a 41-day training programme to get you up to scratch using the Merrell Barefoot shoes - we used the Merrell Trail Glove shoes.
Each day you will be asked to do a number of tasks, from a 30-minute walk on day one up to a 15-minute run on day 40.
At the start of each stage there is an instructional video to help explain things further, and when you begin each session you can check in to your location and track your distance, as well as opt for the app to play music. To get the most out of training Merrell suggests you listen to tracks with a cadence of 180 beats per minute and it suggests severa tracks from iTunes that will offer you just that.
Music chosen, you are ready to begin your activity and once done the app records your progress so you can track how you are doing.
The idea is that by the end of the month you will have mastered how to run barefoot and be able to ditch the app.
As apps go, the Merrell Barefoot is pretty basic, it does do what it sets out to do, and that's help you move over to barefoot running. If you've just brought the shoes and need to know how to get the most out of them, before trying to do a killer run that will put you off for good, then this is a great companion app.

Stochastic Stability in Assignment Problems
In a dynamic model of assignment problems, small deviations suffice to move between stable outcomes. This result is used to obtain no-selection and almost-no-selection results under the stochastic stability concept for uniform and payoff-dependent errors. There is no-selection of partner or payoff under uniform errors, nor for agents with multiple optimal partners under payoff-dependent errors. There can be selection of payoff for agents with a unique optimal partner under payoff-dependent errors. However, when every agent has a unique optimal partner, almost-no-selection is obtained.

PODCAST: Wazzu Recruiting
Washington State is off to an incredible start in the current recruiting cycle with a class that is currently ranked No. 34 in the country by Rivals.com. That's a good thing if you're a fan of the team that wears crimson and gray on a weekly and sometimes bi-weekly basis from late August through, hopefully, December.
With the coaching staff scouring the country during the current evaluation period, there's no better time than now to talk about the state of Washington State football recruiting, with some basketball notes mixed in, too.
With that said, I caught up with Jeff Nusser, editor of CougCenter.com, an affiliate of SB Nation, to talk about the Cougars' recruiting efforts, which have been better than good and mostly great. We'll call this a podcast, because that's what it is. I'll think of a name for future podcasts, as I would like to do this on a semi-regular basis, but I'm not good at creative name-thinking off the top of my head, so deal with just "podcast" for now, I guess.
I hate the word podcast, anyways.
So here's what we're going to do, as Mike Leach famously said: "Now as a staff we're going to meet (it's only me, actually), and we're going to decide (still only me) what [to call this podcast] and I don't know what it's going to be. I haven't quite decided."
If you're still reading, you can watch the video-audio thing below, which we had a horrific time recording, so then it turned into a podcast with crazy-cool still pictures of the website.

ALEC "Brainwash": Arizona Legislator Peggy Judd Trained by Lobbyist Group
Listen to Judd's "brainwash" quote, 30 seconds in... See also: Jan Brewer's Arrogant Bull at ALEC's GOP-Corporate Love Fest See also: Jan Brewer's Top Sycophant, SRP Lobbyist Russell Smoldon, and ResistALEC's "Sleeping Dragon"
Talk about a poor choice of words.
Republican state Representative Peggy Judd is currently in Salt Lake City, Utah, attending the annual conference of the now-notorious American Legislative Exchange Council, the powerful, conservative organization that pimps pro-corporate bills in state legislatures nationwide.
She spoke to a Fox affiliate there on Wednesday, and her interview begins 30 seconds in. Judd relates how she participated in an ALEC leadership training conference in Washington, DC, about one month after she was elected in 2010.
"I wouldn't say they brainwashed me," she told reporter Max Roth. "Because when I got there, I felt so at home. I guess I could say my dad brainwashed me, to be a very strong conservative person."
Well, that's reassuring. Later in the broadcast, Roth relates how Judd told him that she does get lobbied in the ALEC meetings, even though ALEC is a non-profit, and shouldn't be lobbying legislators.
"She said, in fact, the meetings were officially supposed to be casual dress," stated Roth, paraphrasing Judd. "But the lobbyists wear such nice clothes, it's hard to dress down."
A recent editorial by Common Cause president Bob Edgar, "ALEC Is a Lobby, Not a Charity," calls ALEC out for "violating--flouting, really--federal tax laws and at least skirting some state lobbying laws."
Lawmakers receive "scholarships" to attend ALEC meetings, one of the perks of being a state legislator. Arizona legislators from both sides of the aisle take these sorts of "scholarships" from loads of different organizations. Though, ALEC draws mostly Rs, natch.
As far as I'm concerned all such gifts should be banned, along with the free lunches the legislators receive from various groups on the state Senate and House lawns. No free hamburgers for you, Representative Seel. You've been gettin' a tad plump of late.
You'll recall that ALEC was in Scottsdale this past December, and was protested by various activist groups, including one that occupied the Salt River Project's Tempe headquarters. The far right-wing-leaning SRP is closely tied to ALEC. Its fat cat lobbyist Russell Smolden sits on ALEC's private enterprise board.
If you want to read more about ALEC, investigative reporter Beau Hodai has been way ahead of the curve on exposing the organization's influence and detailing ALEC's involvement with the creation of Senate Bill 1070. Which is why ALEC hates him so much.
The Center for Media and Democracy has a collection of his articles, and Hodai's website dbapress.com is a must as well. I highly recommend checking out both, if you haven't already.

My 5-Year Blogging Anniversary & A KitchenAid Stand Mixer Giveaway as a Thank You! (Winners Announced)
UPDATE: The winners of the KitchenAid mixers are:
#1,931 – Janelle Thiessen: "I love your chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting!"
#2,042 – Joanne Quinn: Her comment on following Brown Eyed Baker on Twitter was the winner. As for her favorite BEB recipe:
"Love all your recipes – they're very dip/party-centric, and they're the kind I use most when looking for new recipes on the web. My current favorite – and only cuz I just discovered it & can't believe how easy & delicious it is – is the 3 ingredient Sausage dip. THANKS"
Congratulations Janelle and Joanne! You should have already received an email from me; make sure you reply with your color choice and mailing address so I can get your new KitchenAid mixer out to you!
Thanks everyone for entering and celebrating my five years of blogging with me!
Five years ago today, on February 11, 2007, I hit "publish" on my first blog post – Italian Wedding Soup. It looked like a lot of first blog posts look – a small, far-away picture, a sparse description, and a recipe for one of my all-time favorite "mom" recipes. I decided to start blogging to merge two of my passions – writing and baking. I saw a couple of food blogs pop up and thought that doing something similar would be a good way to keep my writing interest alive, as well as to chronicle my time in the kitchen, and to hopefully challenge myself to try some more advanced recipes.
Five years later, Brown Eyed Baker has turned into more than I could have ever imagined. And it would not be the site it is today without all of you. There aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for each and every one of you. For stopping by to check out the recipes, for commenting, for sharing your stories about what you've made, for your loyalty, for being the reason I keep making a mess of the kitchen more days than not, and, most of all, for allowing me to be a part of your lives. Part of your holidays, your get-togethers with friends, birthdays, showers, and celebrations.
For all you contribute to this site, each and every day, I wanted to say thank you. And I wanted to say thank you in a way that would pay forward kitchen love. What says "kitchen love" more than a shiny, new KitchenAid mixer??
I am giving away TWO KitchenAid Artisan stand mixers to two lucky readers. Check out the details below on how to enter to win, and note that I am leaving this giveaway open for a full week as a celebration of sorts, so as many of you as possible have the opportunity to enter.
Thank you again for being awesome readers, and for sharing your love of food with me. Here's to a lot more fun in the kitchen together!

FOUR consortia are working up bids for one of Belfast's biggest ever infrastructure contracts ? a £100 million deal to upgrade the city's sewerage.
The Belfast Sewers Project was launched last year by Water Service, part of Northern Ireland's Department for Regional Development. The department is embarking on a huge investment programme to bring the city's decaying sewers up to date and provide a modern system for 250,000 people in the greater Belfast area. The central area of the city still relies on two brick tunnels built in 1888.
Katharine Bryan, chief executive of Water Service, said: 'Many of the existing sewers in the Belfast area date form the Victorian era. This massive scheme will significantly improve the water quality in the Lagan and Blackstaff rivers, reduce the risk of flooding in the Belfast area and ensure compliance with stringent European Union environmental standards.' The lead teams on the four shortlisted bidders are Japanese contractor Nishimatsu, Murphy, French firm Bachy Soletanche and Morgan Est. The four have until the end of November to get their bids back to the client.
A winner will be chosen early next year. Work is due to start later that summer.
The job includes a 10.5 km tunnel up to 4m in diameter running under the city centre to a pumping station at Belfast Wastewater Treatment Works. It will also involve building a further 19 km of sewers, 26 stormwater tanks and the repair of 800 sewers. Water Service is hoping the step will cut pollution in the River Lagan and its tributaries by around 85 per cent.
A consortium of Atkins and Amec has already won a contract to the project manage the works. The entire scheme will take seven years to complete.

K'len Morris Interview
I had a chance to sit with K'len Morris at the Motor City Roundball Classic at U of D Jesuit last week. We were sitting with K'lens' dad, Coach Dawkins from Saginaw High, and Larry Wright. We were watching the Detroit Redford - Saginaw Buena Vista game.
At half time K'len and I talked about his game and the things he needs to work on to get ready for the next level. He talked about the season at Grand Blanc and the prospect of a run in the state tournament.
Then, we talked the University of Michigan basketball team and the effect of the injuries on their season. Click to hear what K'len has to say.
