The Sun Sets Over Purr Purr
It was a chilly day in December 2000—back when winters were still cold and you didn't have to wear a tank top at Christmas. I'd seen an ad for a kitten at a local pet shop and went to meet her during my lunch break. The kitten was born on Halloween, and I loved Halloween, so I thought we'd be a good match. I thought wrong.
The kitten was hyper, rambunctious, and made a lot of noise. I suspect she would have gotten along well with energetic children in a big house, but I was renting an apartment and could tell by the way she used her claws that I wouldn't be getting my deposit back if I brought her home.
Back in the corner was a quiet, unassuming kitten with sleepy eyes and dark stripes over silver fur. She was from a different litter, but they estimated she'd been born around the same time. I picked her up and she looked dreamily at me, her whole body vibrating as she purred in my arms. I enjoyed her lazy demeanor and the soft sweetness of her face. I knew she was the one for me.
How I Wrote My Second Book in 20 Days
Chapter Two
It was on this day in 2014 that I completed the first draft of my first book. I was so relieved to have accomplished it, yet I never looked at it again, nor did I ever share it with anyone, not even my husband.
Yeah. Lame, right?
But I wrote it for myself to prove that I could. It was something I'd always wanted to do, but always wimped out when my inner critic's voice overpowered my own narrative. So I finally did it and was proud of what it was.
Then a lot of things happened! Soon after I finished the book, we found out we had been matched with a child for adoption. That fell apart a few months later, and then a few months after that, we did end up adopting a child… A different child, who's now our son. (Sunshine of my life, I might add.)
That brought us to August 2015, when I had surgery to remove the cancer in my testicle, and then three days later, got on a plane to move to California. (Because one life changing event at a time wasn't enough, and we were on a schedule.)
And finally, we find ourselves at August 20, 2016. I set a goal to write 20,000 words in 20 days, starting at the first of the month. I'm happy to reveal that I met that goal and have my first draft of a second book.
So what's next? 20,000 words is typically classified as a novella. That seems to be my comfort zone for now. The previous book was in that range too. It's enough to put some real meat on the bones of the story, establish characters, plot, and settings, but it's a quick read too. Those are the books I tend to enjoy reading as well. And this one is something I'd like to seriously consider moving forward with.
I'm going to let it rest for awhile, take a break and come back to it with a fresh set of eyes. Then I need to round up some trusted people to read it and give input. After that, I think it would be wise to find an editor. Writers need editors. Most of us are too sensitive, too emotionally tied to what we've created, and an objective third party can take something from good to great.
I fell in love with the story. It's very personal for me. I used elements of my cancer surgery and recovery to give a unique perspective to the protagonist. The story's set in the outskirts of San Francisco, so that was endlessly fun to write about.
That's where I'm at today. I'll post an update when I have one.
In Memoriam of My Right Nut
Dear right testicle,
Today is the one year anniversary since we said goodbye. I've thought about you often, and sometimes feel like you're still here with me. It's bittersweet to think of the time we had together. You looked so perky and perfect next to my left one. I really felt you two belonged together.
But now you're gone, and sometimes when I search for you, I'm startled to find just a lone uniball in a sagging sack. There's an empty space in me since you went away. Why, oh why, did you betray me? You grew that awful tumor, putting my whole body at risk, just because you felt the need to show off and grow twice your size to put your partner to shame.
Still, despite the ways you hurt me, I will remember you fondly and feel sad that you're gone. I guess that's how it is with love sometimes. And I did love you. I really did.
Now all I can do is hope that my left testicle treats me better than you have, and won't betray me. For if he abandons me too, a part of me will never be able to stand tall again.
Rest in peace, you mean little bastard.
Sincerely yours,
The Demise of Iconic Gay Cinema
To celebrate Pride month, Daniel and I have been catching up on some of the iconic gay movies of the 1990s, many of which were pivotal in my life as a gay teenager.
Trick, 1999
These films were campy, often with cringe-inducing dialogue delivered by colorful characters based heavily on stereotypes. Although the movies may have not been worthy of an Oscar, they are still significant to our history.
The 1990s was the first decade in which we really saw LGBT characters in mainstream cinema. Previous decades were dotted with them here and there, and homosexual subtext dates back to the very beginning of film-making. But now they were finally out and proud. Homosexuality was the focus of the films. Previously we usually just saw gay people as the quirky sidekick who delivered a few lines and then disappeared.
But the thing that's really surprised and disappointed me is how difficult it is to attain these movies if you want to view them today. Many of them have not been converted to Blu-ray. They aren't available to stream digitally on Netflix, or purchase on iTunes. Essentially they have died with the DVD copies, which are often out of print.
I signed up for Netflix's DVD service because it was the easiest and most cost-effective way to view them. Many of them arrived on battered and scratched discs, which I shudder to think they may be the last copies in rotation.
One movie that really has a special place in my heart is Trick. I think it's one of the first gay-themed movies I ever rented at Blockbuster. (Sidenote: Remember when you had to rush to Blockbuster on Friday to snatch up the good New Releases before they were gone?)
Trick is the story of a young gay man looking for love in New York City, who ends up hooking up with a go-go dancer. Will they fall in love, or will our protagonist end up heartbroken and alone in the morning? This movie has drag queens, fag hags, musical theatre references, and any other cliche you can think of. But it's a charming movie which has received several DVD releases, but has never been remastered for digital, which means it's doubtful future generations will get to see it.
Another fun one is Boys Life. It's three stories about young gay men coming of age and coming out in the early 1990s. There are red ribbons, Silence = Death shirts, and an entire storyline built around the phrase "Friends of Dorothy," which was the gay equivalent of a secret handshake. These are all elements that were deeply integrated into our culture back then, captured in cinema.
I hope someday these films will be given a proper transfer for the digital age. As silly as some of them were, they gave us hope, especially those of us who grew up in a small town. It was the first time I saw characters onscreen who were struggling with the same problems I had, and I felt a little less alone in the world.
Don't Let the Media Take Orlando Away from Us
Sometimes I really hate the mainstream news media.
I blame them for catapulting Donald Trump to the top of the Republican primary, when he should have been written off from day one. The media gave him free exposure 24/7 for a year, so it's no surprise that he became the presumptive nominee. That's how marketing and psychology works. When you're exposed to a candidate day after day, he'll become familiar and likeable to you, no matter how much you disagree with him.
And now it seems the news media is manipulating the narrative of what happened in Orlando, less than 48 hours after the shootings occurred.
This was an attack on the LGBT community.
There is no way around it. 49 lives were claimed, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. And it happened because the patrons were at a gay club.
This needs to be the focus on every news program and in every article. Those victims were targeted for their sexuality. It is homophobic. It is discriminatory. And it is simply hateful.
But the dialogue has quickly shifted, and now the media is focused on ISIS, on terrorism, on Islam, on gun control, and what it all means for the safety of Americans. These are all valid talking points, but I've noticed that journalists and news casters are shying away from the words "gay" and "LGBT." They don't seem to want to say those things. Perhaps it's far more comfortable and familiar to talk about terrorism than it is to acknowledge the gay community.
Well it's time to get uncomfortable people! Because it's real and it happened to gay people on U.S. soil. Gays were the victims. Gays were the target. Gays died because even in 2016, we still live in a culture of hatred and homophobia.
Religious groups have contributed to this hatred. Politicians have contributed to this hatred. And yes, even the news media has contributed to this hatred of the LGBT citizens.
So don't you dare try to take this away from us. The men and women who died that night deserve to be acknowledged. And can we please stop showing those goddamn bathroom selfies of the shooter?! Let's focus on the poor victims whose lives were cut short, all because of who they love.
It was all because they were gay.
BBQ, Sweet Tea, and Gay Finger Banging in Nashville
We recently went back to Nashville and were able to experience the city we once lived in after being away for over half a year.
The place is really booming. I often see articles that suggest Nashville is one of the top 10 "it" places to live, and it was easy to see why. There's been so much growth and there's so much to do at any given time.
The people were much friendlier than they are here in California. I miss that a lot. The food was delicious. We ate a lot of BBQ and drank a lot of Sweet Tea.
If you're not from the South, Sweet Tea is not the same as regular tea with sugar in it. It's made with a thick syrup that's probably on par, if not worse, than regular soda as far as how unhealthy it is. But it tasted so good. The funny thing is that when we lived in Nashville, I rarely ever had BBQ or Sweet Tea, but something about being back in the city as a guest made me crave the local favorites.
Gay rugby teams from around the world were in Nashville for the Bingham Cup. When we went out to the bar with friends, the place was filled with tall, husky rugby players and I suddenly found myself feeling like an ant trying to navigate a place that used to be familiar territory. Admittedly, Daniel and I didn't go out much after we were married, and even less after we became Dads. So it took awhile to adjust to the loud, crowded atmosphere, especially with the additional rugby teams taking over the place.
Funny story though: As we were sitting in a booth with our friends, we saw a guy standing at the bar just casually getting finger banged underneath his shorts like it was no big deal. The guy doing it was sipping a drink with one hand while he probed with the other. And then the recipient of the fingering (the fingeree?) reached over and started fingering another guy under his shorts.
Meanwhile, several feet away, two other rugby guys were standing at a table talking, and one had his hand down the other's shorts, giving him an aggressive hand job. Their faces were all casual, just having a conversation. What could they possibly be discussing in the middle of a jack-off session—the stock market, politics, the season finale of Scandal?
In all the years we lived in Nashville, I can honestly say we never witnessed finger banging and hand jobs being casually and openly served in the gay bars. At least we witnessed something unusual to tell a story about.
We had a fun trip and it made me happy to see our family and friends. It was certainly a visit we won't forget.
I'm Living in My Farmville
Our son is learning about farm animals and the sounds they make, and he quite enjoys them. Sheep seem to be his favorite, which is a big deal for my mom, because she loves sheep too.
Yesterday, as I watched our son playing with his toys, it occurred to me that he might really love Farmville. You remember Farmville, don't you? It's the place we wasted so much of our time in 2010. A simpler time, before we were overwhelmed with Snapchat and Instagram, and endless news feeds about Donald Trump.
Today I visited my old Farmville, and I immediately felt a rush of nostalgia as I returned to the familiar place, which had been unchanged by time. Zynga was even kind enough to preserve my grape crops, which surely should have been dead by now.
My son watched in wonder as the screen filled up with trees and vineyards, and all the magical places I'd laid out when I designed my home. That's when I caught my breath upon realizing it… I was living in my Farmville.
Talk about the law of attraction at work. I had a yellow Tuscan villa, much like the yellow house we have now in California (obviously not identical, but close enough to recognize the similarity). There was a pool in the backyard and fruit trees, again, just like our current home. There was even a small playground in the side yard of my farm, because even back then, I knew someday we'd have a child. It was truly amazing to realize that years ago, I put an intention out in the universe, and it had finally manifested.
My farm was always about building my dreams. Most people treated it as a novelty, where they threw down some chicken coops and plants, and competitively tried to earn as much virtual coin in the shortest amount of time. But it wasn't about that for me. In fact, I hated clutter and chaos, so I had scaled it back to reflect the world I wanted to live in. There are courtyards and arbors, and a little chapel where Daniel and I got married… Halloween haunted houses and cupid's castle… Now if only I could turn those cotton candy trees into a reality.
It's funny how the long and winding road of life can end up taking us exactly where we're supposed to be, and how our dreams can gradually come true without us even seeing the design unfold.
Well, I made it. 2016 is almost here and a few months ago, I wasn't even confident I'd make it this far. By goddammit, I did, and I plan to be here for many years—decades—to come!
On this day a year ago, if you told me what the new year would bring me, I would never believe you. If you told me I would be moving from Tennessee to California, that I'd become a father, and that I'd survive cancer… No way. I'd say you had me confused with someone else. There's no way that would be my life you were describing. But it was, and it is.
As we say goodbye to another year, I am thankful for the love and support of family, and friends, and even the kindness of strangers, who have touched my life in some way and helped me on this journey.
I'm excited to begin a new year with a fresh perspective, and I really hate to say it… But please, please let this just be a boring year. I just want to live in the Golden State in peace and good health with my husband and son, and other then the excitement of watching our little baby grow up, I hope there are no major events to report a year from now.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good night.
Hello, It's Me
I finally feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief. My follow-up blood work and CT scans confirmed I am cancer-free. I was technically cancer-free three months ago, but the doctors expressed some concern (a less than 5% chance) that microscopic cells had spread to my lymph-nodes. Now that these results have come back, I finally feel able to accept that I'm free from those shackles.
A lot has changed in three months. We live in California now. I'm not sure how we survived the move. Having cancer, having surgery, going through recovery, taking all our personal belongings and saying goodbye to people we loved. Whew. Just typing it out puts me in a state of disbelief. But somehow we did it.
Our son is perhaps just days away from taking his first steps. This morning, he started standing up with the help of furniture. I couldn't believe it when I saw him standing up in his bed, with that huge grin on his face. He knew what he'd done and he was proud of it. It breaks my heart a little.
I've been looking through photos and videos, taken just mere months ago, and feeling like they were only yesterday. How did this little baby, whom I held in my arms day after day, night after night, turn into this active little boy, giggling and playing, and growing up much too fast. Every parent talks about how quickly their children grow up. I knew it was true. I never doubted it. But I also wasn't prepared. It just rips your heart out in a way I can't describe.
I love who he's growing up to be. He matures a little each day, and becomes better and better at communication. Sometimes I look at him and our eyes meet, and I capture this moment of "knowing" that we've connected somehow. And yet I miss the days when he was just a little spud, whose little head fit in the nook of my shoulder.
Ah, that nook. Parents know that nook. We spend less and less time cuddling, and someday his head won't fit there at all.
What was the point of my story…?
Life changing, babies growing up, life speeding by.
Well this is just a combination of thoughts, and feelings, and memories. Tomorrow I will start a new day, reaffirmed as cancer-free, and clinging desperately to each moment of our son's time as an infant.
Dear Mrs. Madrigal
I decided to write a letter to Mrs. Madrigal, the fictional character from the Tales of the City series by Armistead Maupin. I associate her with warmth, wisdom, and comfort, living in my favorite city in the world. It makes me happy to imagine her reading this, and it actually helped to write this letter. Even though Mrs. Madrigal may not be real, she is always alive in my heart.
Dear Mrs. Madrigal,
I've been upset about the news I received today because it wasn't what I was hoping for. I wanted to hear that everything was okay. I wanted to hear that all my worries were gone. And although the news I received was mostly good—that I'm cancer-free, it still feels like I have to hold my breath as we wait for my three month test to see if any signs show that it's spread to my lymph nodes. Three months feels like a very long time.
I know I haven't had the best attitude about this. I know that bigger things are happening to other people, and people endure worse fates every day. But this is the biggest thing that's happened to me, and that's where all the fear, sadness, and anger comes from. I can only feel to the extent of my own experience, and I'm doing my very best to understand all these changes. It feels bigger than I am, and so far beyond my control. I just hate it.
But I am trying to be brave, and strong, and happy, because I know that's what you'd want me to be. And as soon as I get the chance, I'm going to come to San Francisco to see you again.
I am looking forward to living in California and I can't wait to live in our new house. I think you'll like it. It's a Spanish Ranch style, with a Tuscan yellow stucco exterior. I love it because it's just so ridiculously Californian, and so different from the traditional middle-America brick house we have now.
We never saw ourselves as the type to live in a Ranch house. We've preferred having the division of two stories. But this one is different. It's a very smart layout, with plenty of privacy for guests on the opposite side of the house. As soon as we saw it, we fell in love and knew it was meant to be our new home.
There's a park across the street with a bike trail right by our house. No cars to worry about. It's great because I hate walking in our neighborhood now, right by such a busy road. I get nervous about a driver going up onto the sidewalk, especially after what I witnessed that time a few years ago. I probably would have died that day if I hadn't crossed the street when I did. So I'm glad that with our new home, there will be a safe place for us to walk with our son and our dog nearby.
I feel better thinking about these things, and imagining the life that waits for us there. Maybe I'll feel better after we move. It won't be much longer.
And I'll feel better when I go to San Francisco again and stop by Barbary Lane. It's going to be quite a workout climbing the streets of Russian Hill, especially with a stroller! But I'm ready for the challenge. I have to wait six weeks to heal before doing anything strenuous, and I'm so ready to get out and be active again.
Thank you for listening, Mrs. Madrigal. See you soon.

Sportvision strikes again
It makes you wonder how we got along without it all of those years. Now we know if our football heroes made the first down or not.
Now the same folks who brought you the virtual yellow line are, not surprisingly, in Turin working their magic for NBC at the Winter Olympics.
This time, Sportvision is providing virtual lines and distance markers in the ski jumping competition. Now we know exactly who had the longest jump, what the Olympic record is, and what the world record is.

Going The Distance For Israel
by Steve Lipman
Staff Writer
Photo Galleria:
In Rabbi Eric Ertel's pursuit to help Israel, it was P. Diddy who jogged his mind on how he should do it. The rabbi, educational director at Aish NY, wasn't quite sure how to get started in his efforts to assist the country he had lived and studied in for several years. Then he read about the rap star running the New York City Marathon last year to raise money for local educational programs. So Rabbi Ertel, a high school track and cross country athlete in his native Stamford, Conn., who had virtually stopped his exercise routine 10 years ago when he went to Israel, will be among the 35,000 participants at the Staten Island starting line Nov. 7. His quest is to raise $1 million for a group he started called Running for Israel, which in recent months has brought in what Rabbi Ertel called a "decent amount" for four charities: One Family, Keren Y&Y, Hasbara Fellowships and Honest Reporting. At least 10 "teammates" who have assisted Rabbi Ertel in his cause will join him at the marathon's start. "We're all going to run the first mile together," said the 27-year-old rabbi, who will be participating in his first 26.2-mile event though he has considered the idea for a few years. Rabbi Ertel has spread the word on Running for Israel via Web site, e-mails, newspaper articles and synagogue announcements. He has asked contributors for lump sum payments in advance instead of pledges per mile. Running for Israel, which is selling T-shirts as part of its campaign, is supported by Aish NY, but it's Rabbi Ertel's program. The rabbi, who was inspired by the death of a Jerusalem neighbor's son in a terrorist attack, said he is the first supporter of Israel to mount such a marathon-related drive. Rabbi Ertel began training after Passover, a few miles a day inside on a treadmill, longer routes on Sundays in Central Park near his Upper West Side home. Since April he has dropped 10 pounds, to 130, off his 5-foot-6 frame. In recent weeks, after peaking with an 18-mile training run, he started tapering his distance, as most marathoners do. You may be able to watch the rabbi in future New York City Marathons, he said — depending if he reaches his financial goal this year. "If I don't get the million dollars this time," he said, "I'll keep going till I get it." Those who want to check out Rabbi Ertel next Sunday, he'll be wearing a kipa and blue bandana on his head and a Running for Israel T-shirt on his chest with entry number 52,636. Contact Running For Israel at (212) 579-1388; Web site, www.runningforisrael.com.

Not amazed, but pretty practical.
Posted by doppelganger on Apr 05, 2014
The set is so-so, lets say just average. The pouch is really good and I like it quite much, but I'm not that satisfied by the quality of the brushes.. I guess it's an ok set for the price but I would recomend it only as a travel kit. The crease brush is amazing, the blending brush is a bit too big but works fine.I personally favourite the smudge brush which is really really good for concealing spots! The angled brush is my least favourite because is bit all over the place and too huge to fit my lid.
A really weird set, weird brushes, but OK
Posted by MasksOffMasksOn on Jul 30, 2012
I ordered this set since I wanted to have few smaller eye brushes to go in my morning makeup bag. These brushes are short in their length, but the Blend, Highlight and the Crease brushes' heads are SO big! Bigger than normal brushes. So you can't really apply eye shadows accurately with them. I've also found the Shade brush to be too small for anything but applying a light shadow in the inner C of the eye. The Smudge brush was too itchy to use around the eye area... The Blend brush even lost some hairs, and that was a big turn off for me... BUT- I've found out that if I use them differently they do a pretty nice job so overall I did find use for them all and after the first not so good impression I had on them, I started liking them. I use the Blend brush as a highlight brush. I use the Highlight brush as a crease brush- it's perfect to blend shadows in that area. I use the smudge brush to conceal tiny areas. I use the crease brush as a shade brush, even though it is a little too big for that. I use the shade brush to apply highlighter in the inner C of the eye. The brushes are "green" and the case is really comfortable to carry while traveling. They are also soft and nice to hold. So- Not a "must have", not even "good to have", but OK to have.
set of brushes

There may be cause for cautious optimism in connection with the ugly problem of child abuse and neglect. But much clearly remains to be done.
Nearly a quarter century ago, the late Henry Kempe, MD, and coauthors awakened the national conscience by coining the phrase "the battered-child syndrome" (JAMA 1962;181:17-24 and JAMA [MEDICAL NEWS] 1984;251:2069). Leaders in the fight against child abuse gathered in Chicago recently at the Seventh National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect to review how far remedial efforts have come—and how much farther they have to go—in the aftermath of Kempe's landmark paper.
Some of the conclusions depend on how the data are interpreted. Richard J. Gelles, PhD, professor of sociology and anthropology and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston, and Murray A.

By posing as real customers, mystery shoppers give you a detailed view of what goes on in your business, even when you're not there to see it for yourself. Identifying the areas that your employees need improvement in helps you determine how to retain customers and improve your bottom line.
Mystery shopping is of growing importance in our economy with the expansion of large retail stores and growing corporations. Local businesses are working hard to compete with these larger companies. They want to satisfy their target audience and build customer relationships that can last. These businesses are relying on our mystery shoppers to observe and critique every aspect of their interaction with customers, from their employees' ability to practice good customer service to the quality of their products and the atmosphere of their stores.
On-Site Mystery Shopping
On-site mystery shoppers give an authentic representation of actual customer experiences
Recorded Phone Mystery Shopping

Hidden Video Mystery Shopping
Hidden video mystery shops add a visual element to ensure you're capturing everything you want to know
Competitive Shops
Send secret shoppers to your competitors to see how your business stacks up against the rest of the field
Our secret shoppers are required to remain confidential during their observations. Shoppers act as every other consumer, buying products they need and interacting with employees as they would normally do. Employees must not know they are being observed for customer service skills. As independent contractors, shoppers have a flexible schedule with the opportunity to accept or reject any assignment they are offered. Becoming a mystery shopper is easy and convenient. Our goal is to help businesses reach their true potential for customer satisfaction. Help us achieve this goal. You can be responsible for the next great shopping experience.

Beta scale
The β (beta) scale is a non-octave-repeating musical scale. In one version, it splits the perfect fifth (3/2) into eleven equal parts of 63.8 cents each.[citation needed] Another interpretation splits the perfect fourth into two equal parts,[1] or eight equal parts of approximately 64 cents each[2] Play (help·info). This totals approximately 18.8 steps per octave. It may be derived from using 11:6 Play (help·info) to approximate the interval 3:2/5:4,[3] which equals 6:5 Play (help·info).
It was invented by and is a signature of Wendy Carlos and used on her album Beauty in the Beast (1986).
Although neither has an octave, one advantage to the beta scale over the alpha scale is that 15 steps, 957.494 cents, Play (help·info) is a reasonable approximation to the seventh harmonic (7:4, 968.826 cents)[3][4] Play (help·info) though both have nice triads[1] ( Play major triad (help·info), minor triad (help·info), and dominant seventh (help·info)).
The delta scale may be regarded as the beta scale's reciprocal since it is, "as far 'down' the (0 3 6 9) circle from α as β is 'up.'"[5]

If USC head coach Chad Kreuter had things his way a few years ago, UCLA pitcher Trevor Bauer would instead be taking the mound for the Trojans in today's rivalry game at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Kreuter believed he had the inside track on landing the highly touted right-hander. After all, Kreuter's son Cade -- who now plays at USC -- was a teammate of Bauer's at Newhall's Hart High School.Kimberly Lajcik/Daily Bruin
Trevor Bauer would be wearing a USC hat if Trojans' head coach Chad Kreuter had his way two years ago.
"I saw Bauer pitch 15 times as a junior and loved him," Kreuter said during a preseason media day earlier this year. "I was hoping that we could do something with him."
Back then, Kreuter admired Bauer's competitive nature, his physical ability and desire to win. Now, he's forced to plan against all of those things.
"He's a warrior," Kreuter said.
Just when Kreuter thought he was beginning to make progress in his recruitment of Bauer, the 6-foot-1 righty decided to graduate from Hart a year early. Kreuter, who had no idea that Bauer wanted to enroll a year before other class members, was blindsided.
"Maybe he'd be a Trojan if we knew that," he said.
Instead, Bauer seeks his 17th career victory today donning true blue.

We often remind our staff that how something is said is just as important, if not more important, than what is said. Tone, body language and other factors play a huge part in what a health club member hears and recalls, so our staff training and day-to-day staff feedback frequently involve this subtle topic.

Spirit: The Wall Street Journal also wrote basically the same message - that Trump is unfit to be president. The fact that four days after the debate he's perseverating on the Miss Universe issue calling her "disgusting" when any reasonable person would just have let the issue die away, and is now insisting that his mike was intentionally tampered with and the moderator was against him during the debate just shows how unstable this man really is. There is no theory under which this man should be anywhere near the White House.

When a guy is having doggystyle sex with a girl standing up, he bends her over and lays forward on her back. He then lifts his feet off the ground and extends his arms out to look like an Acme Rocket on Wile E. Coyote's back. Works best if the girl is wearing roller skates.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Tres Palma
Wonderful stay
Our stay at Hotel Tres was simply wonderful. The rooms, staff, food, drinks, terrace, courtyard and i could go on.... make this the place to stay in Palma. Can't wait to go again!
Hotel Tres was prefect for us
We had a 4 night break in Hotel Tres before moving onto the Pula Suites and we certainly both agreed on our preference.
When approaching the Hotel our hearts sank a bit as the first impression when you go up the alleyway isn't at all postive, but as soon as you walk into the courtyard you see what the hotel is all about, compact and bijou, a contempory, modern feel to it, whilst retaining an old world charm. The wife and I had a bit of a laugh about the pretentious words in the hotel brochure but they turned out pretty accurate, about being a fusion of old and new.
The room is a bit small (we had a double superior) but it certainly does the job, very clean, has all the things you need and a lovely big comfortble cosy bed with nice sheets and big pillows.
The bathroom isn't the most private affair if you and your partner are not completely comfortable with each other, but i'm more interested in having a big, powerful shower and this was easily up to the job. No room for a bath for the lady though.
The breakfast was not bad, nothing special but did the job, and was available until 11:00am which was great for getting up late.
We only used the pool area a little bit, and whilst this was a bit small (you can only take a dip in the pool - you can't swim in it) it was not overly busy and was okay for sunning yourself. Also you can ring down for room service and get one of their lovely smoothies.
The location of the hotel turned out to be superb, being in the old part of palma, and less than 200yrds from the marina, within a 100 yard radius of plenty of sufficienctly good eating and drinking places, and being virtually next door to a highly unusual cocktail bar (i think it was called abaca?) which you should check out if you go.
Definately recommend for couples and we would use again if we go back to Palma.
Superb value!
2 adults and 5 children checked into Hotel Tres on a Saturday morning. We had one double superior, one twin and one triple room. All our rooms were spacious, with wonderful beds and superb linen, modern bathrooms with lots of stainless steel, tiles, hardwood, frosted glass and modern details. Absolutely lovely all of it! There was a minibar, safe, great towels, robes and we did not miss a thing.
The kids loved going to the reception to borrow free DVDs. One of them had her 12th birthday, and the hotel suddenly appared at the kids' rooms with complementary icecreams for all. We asked for help to reserve tables for lunch and dinner at good restaurants, and the choices that front desk staff came up with, proved to be great! The best tapas ever for lunch at the Boveda, and elegant dinner with surprising birthday cake even, at Artemis.
Our flight the next day was late in the evening, and without even having to ask for it, the hotel offered us to keep one of the rooms until leaving - which was great as it allowed us to go the beach and clean up afterwards.
I see that one user complains about the quality of the Mojito. I have to admit to being quite a Mojito lover myself, and found it very nice indeed, so his feedback must have helped! The Strawberry Daquiri though was not too good....tasting quite artificial.
Breakfast was plentyful and very good, with nice breads, salmon and cherries and a lot more.
The roof terrace gives you a lovely view of Palma and the cathedral. The kids loved it there, and we were all very impressed with the hotel, the location, the sense of a quality sanctuary in every detail and the staff that gave more service than was expected. We are definately going back!
Back again!
Back for the third time!
I am still getting that great relaxing feeling when I walk in to the lovely courtyard. This hotel is just the best! In Palma at least!!
Great atmosphere and great staff. Always smiling and very helpful.
If you want a relaxing romantic weekend with your partner, this is the place to stay! Have a nice trip!
And to you with the Mojito! You can not jugde a hotel if you have not stayed there! Go get your drink somewhere else, and try to sleep in the beds at Tres instead!
Highly recommend it!
Have just come back from a great long weekend at Hotel Tres. Stayed in room 102 - terrace room. Lovely rooms, bathrooms and nice big terrace - well worth paying the extra. The roof terrace and infinity plunge pool look fantastic and there are great views from the top. For the first couple of days, we pretty much had the roof terrace to ourselves.
The location is excellent, around the corner from bars, restaurants and shops and right next door to Abaco (great for cocktails!).
We had shortlisted Hotel Tres after Puro, but they had no availability. We wanted to see what we had missed out on so went to Puro for cocktails in the evening (excellent). However, after visiting, decided that it was a great place to visit but not sure that I would want to have that atmosphere (hectic) the whole time.
Would def. go back to Hotel Tres.
Minging Mojito
Although I didn't stay at this hotel, I did decide to visit the bar after reading rave reviews. The courtyard & bar itself are lovely - very contemporary cool. It's just a shame the barmaid didn't know how to make a Mojito. After waiting 30 very thirsty minutes for my drink, a glass was plonked down infront of me. At first glance, it appeared to be a Mojito only without any lime & a sole sprig of mint!? It appeared that the barmaid had attempted to compensate for the apparent lack of mint by adding mint liquer! I took the drink to the bar & advised this was not a Mojito as it had no lime in it - she responded by advising me that it did have lime in - LIME CORDIAL!!! Needless to say I left without drinking or paying for my drink but still very thirsty!!
I would still recommend a visit to Hotel Tres however not for a Mojito or when you are thirsty!
Tres and the Third Room
Just excellent. Stayed the first time with my partner and the second time with my young daughter. On both occasions we experienced the inspiring 'third room' - great personal attention to detail, fab location, good food, fantastic environment.... the third room experience. The grand suite is truly grand - the jacuzzi and roof terrace are out of this world - and worth every extra Euro. We will be returning in Sept and Oct and Nov!!!! And in 2006!!!! I have a child with stars in her eyes!!!
Fantastic hotel!!
Fantastic hotel - lovely, comfortable and well set-out rooms, helpful staff, great breakfasts and perfect location. The best part by far is the roof terrace - so important for a hot day in Palma, and probably one of the best views of the cathedral you can get. Made our stay in Palma.
Perfect City Hotel in Palma
Beautiful and Stylish with great service , the Hotel Tres was perfect for our city break in Palma. The roof top pool and deck are great , the rooms are cool with nice art and the staff are tripping over themselves to help you , we will be back , again and again

Travel Blogs from Palma
Bumming around Palma
Spent a day wandering around Palma... The city is quite large, and so I stuck mostly to the old areas of 'tourist' interest. There are churches, a cathedral, plazas and museums all over the place, but being there on a Sunday meant that I was limited in what I could see and do. Many thinks remain lose forgave reduced hours on Sundays, something that seems to be less common in North America but still prevalent in many other places. Being that I prefer architecture over spending ...
Can't ditch the last bike day!
... up touring over 250m of elevation climbing the reverse route from the mountain climbing day I missed a few days previous. Stunning views, more interesting switchbacks and road maneuvering, a nice way to end rides. Stayed at the hotel in Palma Nova for the afternoon, taking advantage of the pool and a last dinner with the WCCC folks before they headed out early the next morning and I headed to Palma for my day in the 'big ...

... sky and fantastic temperatures we've had. Take it from me, this place is stunning. But after two challenging climbs with three more to go at midway, I'd had about enough. You'd think with the location that there isn't much to really push you over the figurative edge, but with a nagging knee and my back acting up on the last climb, not to mention the multiple and rapid descents that absolutely scare the **** out of me, the thought ...
The Cake Route

Merry Mallorca or Majorca
... The staff were courteous and helpful and the breakfast was good. To be honest we did very little in Mallorca except to stroll along the beach promenade, eat, and people-watch while drinking beer at sidewalk bars. The beach was jam-packed with sun worshipers ( yes topless female sunbathers) and the Mediterranean sea was surprising colder than expected. Despite putting ...

3Kindle case Posted by: Ironfire from: on I didn't realize I could get a cheaper case, somewhere else, so went with the one that fit my Kindle Fire 8.9--I thought it was pretty expensive for just a case! It serves the purpose, but I could have gotten one for a lot less, elsewhere, that would have served the purpose, as well!

5Great case Posted by: mlerose from: on Looking at how the case is designed and how it fits onto the tablet, you would not expect it to stay on. It works like a charm. The only time the case has come off is because I have taken it off. It has never fallen off. Great product and design.

4Good cover Posted by: spree40 from: on The origami case for Kindle fire is a good case. The protection is good, the case is sturdy. It has nice weight to it. The only con I have with the case is that the Kindle doesn't really "lock" in, it slides in place. If you tip the Kindle, it will fall out, otherwise it's somewhat secure.

4Classy case Posted by: Chapra from: Evanston, IL on I already own one origami case for my personal Fire, so I knew I needed to get one for the Fire that the family got for my uncle on his 88th birthday. The case is simple to affix to the tablet and offers a fair amount of protection from casual handling. It also looks classy in black.

4Excellent the custom made for the latest Kindle F Posted by: Daver from: Sammamish WA on The design allows the pad to be used standing up in full screen or portrait positions . Why not 5 points ? Well - you have to take the cover off to use the camera and it does not hold the unit as firmly as most since it is magnetic. Closing/opening the cover does turn the unit on and off which is another plus.

I really love this peanut butter and also like the creamy version. Has a good flavor and consistency. I think this is just the same as the top brands and who doesn't like to save a little money.
I like the fact that this is extra crunchy peanut butter. I could eat it all day!
I have been buying this for several years. Love it - lots of crunch. Have compared to others, comes in first, hands down in both flavor and price.
I like best the fact that it's kosher. Also, I look for all products that do NOT contain fructose! (corn syrup and fructose corn syrup are two entirely different things!) I like the down-to-earth real peanut flavor of this product---and also, it makes a good taste treat when used in place of butter, in some instances. Use peanut butter on pancakes instead of butter or margarine. Makes a great flavor difference if you use it instead of butter in your oatmeal cookie recipe, or sugar cookie recipe. Try a tablespoon of it melted in your breakfast oatmeal, with a dollop of honey. Great.
Just as good as Skippy or Jiffy and a lot less expensive.
Just as good as the name brands but at a much better price. Lots of chunkiness. Other less expensive brands tend to separate but this is definitely just as good as any other chunky peanut butter but at a savings.
I simply love any nut in a butter, and this one taste great! The crunch in every bite of your PB an J sandwich mmm, mmm, mmm. And my kids, well I've gotta hide it from them otherwise this 40 oz jar won't last, but seriously I've got to hide it from them.
this peanut butter is really good!!! the only reason i give 3 stars is because its advertised as SIX (6) cans and i only got 1!
Peanut butter is my favorite "recovery" food when my blood sugar goes too low.
This peanut butter is great! Tastes like Skippy to me!
It's not as good as Skippy which is what I grew up on but for the price difference it's fine and you can't taste the difference really when you put it with jelly on bread.
this is awesome peanut butter and it came right to the front door
We always buy the Great Value brand peanut butter, both crunchy and creamy, even when the name brands are on sale. Taste is as good or better we think and the price is certainly right. Just as good in sandwiches as they are for peanut butter desserts... even good on crackers or just plain.
This crunchy peanut butter tastes as good as the more expensive named brands.
Great Value Peanut Butter Crunchy is a great deal for the price and it taste wonderful. People name brands are not necessary the best. Try this product and see for yourselves.
With 5 children, we go through a LOT of peanut butter. This Great Value peanut butter is just as good as the more expensive brands.
This is my all time favorite crunchy peanut butter - lots of crunch. It may be a little on the dry side, but that is easily remedied by adding some honey to it and stirring in well. Also, if you get sundaes at McD's you can add the little packs of chopped up peanuts to get even more crunch.
This Great Value crunchy peanut butter is every bit as good as any national brand such as Skippy or Jif. In fact, I prefer it as some others are 'oily.' I recommend it for the price and taste.
