TRANQUIL RETREAT -Three bedroom home situated on a mini 'On Golden Pond'. Only three other homes on the privately owned 10 acre pond. Canoe, paddleboat, rowboat or kayaks- all available onsite to navigate the crystal clear water.

Historic Fort William Henry and Lake George Battlefield Park, Prospect Mountain with the 100 mile view that overlooks Lake George. Lake George village boasts outlet shopping, Lake George Steamboat Cruises, nightclubs, arcades, restaurants, horseback riding, mini golf, and fireworks every Thursday night over the lake. Great place to stay for Lake George Winter Carnival and Lake George Forum events.
Eric and I grew up in Lake Luzerne, NY...and even though we've since moved away, still consider it Home. More than ever, we appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the Adirondacks...and the incredible gift of having grown up there. We've enjoyed renting our pondhouse since 2006...and have many guests returning year after year!
Diane Powers purchased this house in 2006
Our 'pondhouse' was built by Eric's grandfather. It is a magical place, full of fond memories of family gatherings centered around the peaceful natural surroundings.
The house is not a camp or cabin; it is a year round home, heated, and available for rent year-round. It is not 'closed up for the winter'...and therefore does not smell like a camp or cabin!
The property had everything we needed and more. It was great! The property had a private pond where we enjoyed using the paddleboat and the outdoor deck to bbq. The house had everything we needed and it was very clean. The owner was great and it was even better to have a relative live near the property if we needed something or had any questions about the property. The location of the property was close to lake george and other attractions. They had great restaurants nearby and had many activities and attractions that we could enjoy. it was a great and relaxing memorial day weekend.
We had a lovely week and Diane was very responsive. We appreciated her greeting us and showing us around the property. It was great to be able to sit outside and enjoy the large pond. There were several boats which were used by my family every day. We also walked up to the beach at Lake Luzerne many of the days. The water at the pond was sometimes not ideal for swimming because of floating stuff from the pond but the beach up the street is really great. We liked walking into the village to eat at the Upriver Cafe - a fabulous lunch & dinner spot. The village has a pharmacy and a small grocery store. We also went to a great weekend bazaar in the park by the beach and made several great finds.
The house is a typical lake house, older, a bit musty, but charming and great for our family. We are a family of four and were able to stay in the upstairs bedrooms. This left us a guest room downstairs with a queen and twin bed in it. This came in handy as we had guests on two different nights who utilized the room.
It was quite warm when we were there but the bedroom we stayed in had a wall air conditioner and Diane added another one in the living room during our stay. It cools down so much at night though, that window fans work fine too. The shower is good as well. (No tub)
We are runners and there is a great run from the house if you are interested. Just head out Lake Road and it goes along the river (ironically). It's quite pretty. As for things to do, we could not fit in all we wanted in a week. There are multiple white water raft and tubing companies within a couple miles. We went to a place called Tubby Tubes with a tube slide that you do on a hill. The kids really enjoyed it (age 9&12). Six Flags at Great Escape makes for a full day and we had a wonderful time on the roller coasters and at water park there. We also went to Adirondack Extreme Adeventure which is a zip line, ropes course kind of place. It is well worth the cost and unforgettable! It was scary but very fun. There are many great hikes. We missed out on climbing Hadley, but it is recommended.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and the time went much too fast. Enjoy your visit to this sweet location.
This property is beautiful, and the pond is pretty quiet. It's not a huge pond, but it's definitely enough for fishing and kayaking, which are included with the property. The neighbors are nice and keep to themselves. There is a lot to do nearby, with Lake George only about 10 minutes away. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet time away.
We had a great time staying at the Mini Pond house! The house was in great shape and very clean when we arrived! The owner met us at the location to welcome us, which we appreciated very much! The pond was great! great fishing! All amenities worked great! it was a very comfortable stay and I would definitely recommend this property for anyone for a nice and quiet vacation!
Michael and I felt wonderfully refreshed after our 3 night stay at Diane's pond house near Lake Lazerne, a 20-minute drive from Lake George.
We had originally planned on staying at Diane's river house on the Hudson, but due to an unexpected delay in renovations there, Diane offered to switch us to this cozy property on a privately-owned pond where swimming was very pleasant and much less frigid than Lake George at the beginning of June. The change in reservation went smoothly and Diane was extremely helpful in providing information for our stay, most of which has to do with guest access to the pond for swimming or taking out the row boat, kayaks or paddle boat.
The water is clear and refreshing, a natural ecosystem to enjoy around the private cove, or out on the water in a boat where peace and quiet accompanies the warm sunshine. Signs are posted on the land surrounding the pond to dissuade guests from climbing on the small dam or walking on the neighbors' property. However, as the listing's description and photos accurately show, there is more than enough space indoors and outdoors for couples, groups of friends and families to enjoy the yard, the Gazebo, the Dam Landing, and the house in beautiful surroundings. Inside, the living areas are clean and comfortable with everything needed to prepare food, sleep well and simply relax. Of course, a cottage in the woods comes with the usual earthly smells and critters, but the fresh air and pond constantly give an outdoor feel to the place.
Diane kindly offered suggestions/brochures for activities and restaurants in the area. We enjoyed eating dinner at Upriver Cafe overlooking the falls and taking a hike up Prospect Mountain. Driving the entire length of Lake George is a 3-hour road trip with gorgeous views and historical sites beyond Bolton Landing and Fort Ann. The town of Lake George itself has lots of places to shop, eat and drink with views of the lake and live music. The weekend turned out to be great for visiting local breweries and enjoying delicious meals with freshly prepared produce, including lunch at Battle Hill Brewing Company and dinner at Smokey Joe's Saloon & Grill.
We highly recommend Diane and this property, and we look forward to returning to the area for a stay at the river house in the Fall.
Many thanks,
Thomas and Michael
Beautiful place. The backyard and the pond were amazing! Diane was super welcoming and friendly. Will definitely come back.
My husband and I spent our 22 Anniversary weekend here we had a great time. Diane met us there at check in to show us around that was truly a added bonus. She gave us a recommendation for place to go for dinner it was the Upriver Cafe. I would highly recommend it too the food and staff was wonderful. If your looking for a peaceful weekend or week this is definitely the place for you.

Cheney brought many great points out yesterday like the non-funding. Notice, the media is ignoring it today with the exception of Limbaugh and Hannity.
The RNC PR team could do a better job, as well.
Did they point out the funding votes with regard to funding the efforts in Afghanistan? If not, which Freeper has an inside connection with Sean and/or Rush?

Here is just some of the news that made the news in the Kankakee Valley this week:
Nathan Hummel was arrested Tuesday on charges of Armed Robbery, Criminal Mischief, Resisting Law Enforcement, Dealing a Controlled Substance and Disarming an Officer. He and Jonathan Hummel allegedly robbed the CVS in Knox Tuesday by knifepoint and stole several bottles filled with narcotics. Jonathan Hummel remains at large.

The Eastern Pulaski School Board got an update on tax rates for the school corporation and surrounding corporations. Superintendent Dr. Robert Klitzman said that Eastern Pulaski's tax rate is in the lower third of the schools in the area.
The LaPorte County DUI Task Force is out conducting saturation patrols to rid the roadways of impaired and dangerous drivers. The increased enforcement will continue through the New Year's holiday.
Dale Hite, of Plymouth, pled not guilty in Starke Circuit Court to two counts of Resisting Law Enforcement in Death, two counts of Reckless Homicide, and one count each of Resisting Law Enforcement, Possession of Methamphetamine, Failure to Stop at a Stop Sign and Failure to use Headlights from Sunset to Sunrise. The charges stem from a pursuit accident in Starke County on October 16th, 2009 that took the lives of Amber McMillen and Nicholas White, both of Plymouth.
The Pulaski County Commissioners denied a request by Ed Clark for the employment of a part-time person to work at the Pulaski County Recycling Center. The County is currently under a hiring freeze.

The North Judson Town Board rejected two trash bids because not all of the paperwork was submitted. The Board plans to rebid the contract that clarifies all of the paperwork needed for the bid. Richard's Disposal will continue to pick up trash on a month-to-month basis until a bid is secured.
Jasper County Circuit Court Judge John Potter took Linda Belork's case under advisement after a hearing held yesterday. She is fighting a temporary restraining order filed by the Starke County Commissioners that prohibits her from returning to the office.

I really doubt that she has the flu. I'm not saying she's lying about being sick, but the true flu is far less common than most people think, and it takes a lot longer to recover from than what the Cohen Camp is reporting. More likely it is just a bad cold.
As I've said before, all of these athletes (at least the seniors) should all have had flu vaccine (without some serious contraindication. Any coach who lets their athlete go out there in the crowds to risk getting the real flu at the wrong time is just being ridiculously callous about the health of the skater at a time when they need to be at their best. Or else some coaches may like the idea of an excuse (no fingers being pointed now!)
OMG, I wonder what the USFSA will do if she has to withdraw and asks for a bye.
She can recover from this in a few days...There is a flu going around right now that last a few days,you get a sore throat,fever,cough,phelgm.My husband had it over Christmas took him about 3 days and I caught it but it only lasted for me about a day or so because i eat so much fruit,i had enough Vitamin C to not get it as badly.My sister had it too. It's not a cold it's a flu bug.
This may be a way to get the pressure off Sasha, since she is so heavily favored to win this time. I am not saying she did not have the cold or the flu, but I doubt it is something serious. Sometimes hard work, stress, etc. can cause symptoms like those (throat related). I am sure she will recover in time for the nationals.

We stayed a couple of weeks ago and it's a great location, great home and had all the amenities. I have three teenage children and the four of us were very comfortable. We would defnitely do it again.
Thank you.
Our friends meet on North Conway the same weekend every year. We recently discovered this website, and we're loving it...this hideaway was perfect. Communication with owner was excellent. Price was right in our range. Very clean, perfect size for 6 .. thank-you, Sharon
Very clean and spacious. Quiet neighborhood. It was amazing!!! Close to lots of restaurants , stores and things to do. Perfect location! I would definitely use this rental again!
First of all, Sharon was very responsive, personable, and helpful from the time I submitted questions online through the end of my stay via email, texts, and phone calls .Sharon is simply the best!! She is extremely gracious and genuinely wants you to enjoy her little slice of heaven. Sharon and her family has clearly poured their absolute best into the cabin to make it a retreat for all who are fortunate to enter its doors. My wife and I were looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of New York. This cabin was PERFECT! We did not want to leave. We had everything we could possibly need. Décor was beautiful, clean,comfortable, all the amenities of a 5 star hotel, sans the butler. A well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room. We had a fantastic music selection, books, cd's, dvd's, games, and most importantly for me, a hammock in which I lazed and read a 400 page book in the back yard, surrounded by the tall birch trees!! We loved the location. Shopping, swimming in Echo Lake, hiking, and kayaking, were all within 5 to 8 minutes from the house. In the evenings we sat on the well lit furnished porch, listening to the chirping and night sounds, and played scrabble. In the morning we were visited by a most gracious humming bird. Life seemed to slow down while we were there and it was exactly what we needed.
Book this cabin! You will love your time here and be looking at the calendar for a return visit!!
I stayed up here from Friday May 20'th to Sunday May 22'nd with My family and we had such a great time. The house is perfect for keeping everybody entertained. It has such a clear view of the yard from anywhere upstairs so you can feel comfortable relaxing anywhere while being connected with everyone. It is the perfect distance from the center of town and all the attractions. I felt completely safe in the area throughout my stay and then on Sunday morning while we were packing up we got a visit from a friendly black bear. He strolled through the yard inspecting it for any trash and after giving me the seal of approval he continued on to his next appointment I guess. Needless to say we loved it and we will most definitely be returning for another stay in the future.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Dear Den in North Conway. The house was comfortable and well-stocked with firewood, kitchen ameneties, an (outdoor) grill, etc. We had a couple of days of warm weather where we enjoyed the large back deck followed by a few snowy days. The driveway and access road were plowed promptly each day, and the wood stove heated the entire upstairs (as an unnecessary but nice alternative to the regular heating system). Our deposit was returned promptly. We would be pleased to stay there again.

The mere fact that a police constable had been instructed by a superior officer to arrest a person was not capable of amounting to "reasonable grounds for suspecting" that person of being involved in terrorism under the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1984. The constable must be given some basis for such an instruction, such as a report of an informer, from which he could reasonably form a genuine suspicion in his own mind.
The House of Lords dismissed an appeal by the plaintiff, Gerard O'Hara, against the decision of the Court of Appeal on 6 May 1994, affirming the decision of Mr Justice McCollum on 14 September 1990, dismissing the plaintiff's claim against the Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary for damages for unlawful arrest and false imprisonment.
Section 12(1) of the 1984 Act (now section 14(1) of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989) provided that:
a constable may arrest without warrant a person whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be . . . (b) a person who is or has been concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism . . .
The plaintiff was arrested on 28 December 1985 after a search had been conducted at his house at 72 Duncreggan Road, Londonderry. He was detained for questioning at Castlereagh Police Office before subsequently being released without charge.
At the trial of the plaintiff's action against the Chief Constable, the arresting officer, DC Stewart, said in evidence that he had attended a briefing at Strand Road Police Station at 5.30 am on the morning of 28 December 1985. The purpose of the briefing was to mount an operation to search houses to look for weapons or other evidence and to arrest a number of people in connection with a recent act of terrorism. The briefing was conducted by an inspector and was attended by a number of other officers.
The court held that the information given at the briefing was admissible and was sufficient to constitute the state of mind required of an arresting officer under section 12(1)(b).
Hugh Kennedy QC and Barry MacDonald BL (B.M. Birnberg & Co) for the plaintiff; Patrick Coghlin QC and Piers Grant BL (Treasury Solicitor) for the defendant.
Lord Hope said the test which section 12(1) laid down was a simple but practical one. It related entirely to what was in the mind of the arresting officer when the power was exercised. In part it was a subjective test, because he must have formed a genuine suspicion in his own mind that the person had been concerned in acts of terrorism.
In part it was also an objective one, because there must also be reasonable grounds for the suspicion. But the objective test did not require the court to look beyond what was in the mind of the arresting officer.
It was the grounds which were in his mind at the time which must be found to be reasonable grounds for the suspicion he had formed. All the objective test required was that these grounds be examined objectively and that they be judged at the time when the power was exercised.
The question was not whether the arresting officer himself thought at the time that they were reasonable, but whether a reasonable man would be of that opinion, having regard to the information which was in the mind of the arresting officer. It was the arresting officer's own account of the information which he had which mattered, not what was observed by or known to anyone else.
The information acted on by the arresting officer need not be based on his own observations, as he was entitled to form a suspicion based on what he had been told. His reasonable suspicion might be based on information which had been given to him anonymously or it might be based on information, perhaps in the course of an emergency, which turned out later to be wrong. As it was the information which was in his mind alone that was relevant, it was not necessary to prove that the information or facts on which his suspicion was based were true.

The best hot chocolate that is steamed with whatever ice cream you want-- Delicious!! Ice cream is great too! Cute Atmosphere
Did you know that Bobtail Ice Cream Company at 2951 North Broadway is the only Chicago company that makes its own truly home-made, hard-pack ice cream? Now you do. Established in 2004 by Jeff Wilcoxon and Chris Hill, who joined with partner John Rutledge, Bobtail has opened five other locations in Chicago, including its first suburban location in Wilmette.

So many flavors, so little time. I am fortunate that I have young kids so they are obliged to give their mama a taste of their ice cream.
I had the daily, special peach. I thought it was great, but after sampling my girls flavors I realized I had not chosen wisely. Chocolate and mint chocolate chip, are boring standards,...
It is 95 degrees outside. Their fridges didn't work correctly and the ice cream was very soft and warm. Gross. No seats in shade, we had to sit in the floor. The picture shows the only shade.
Everyone loves ice cream! This is super flavorful ice cream from an old fashioned ice cream parlor. Outside seating is available.
Friendly place to stop and have a yummy cup of ice cream. At times you may need to wait in line before being serviced. No worry it will be worth the wait.
Some their flavors are okay, others are poor quality. There are definitely better places in the area. I've seen staff there be very friendly and I've seen other staff members behave rudely, acting like they are doing you a favor. Also, when the first opened, one could walk in and ask for a milkshake five minutes before closing and get...
A great place for a summertime treat or anytime for that matter. We really enjoyed stopping at Bobtail for a treat on a nice day.

In short, I would recommend this place. I had a chocolate milkshake with smores and it was awesome. The people working there are all very nice and patient. The menu there wasn't that clear to me and they patiently waited. Great place with some great shakes.
5 stars for taste, location, service, friendly staff, and value. Yes I paid $3+ for a scoop, not too bad considering it is located in the busy street of Broadway in Lincoln Park. This place is nestled in a busy street of local restaurants and other shops.
Great tasting ice cream for sure! There's no 2,000 flavors but honestly, will...

we bought a used vehicle in 2011 from a dealership they gave a clean carfax just recently we tried trading the vehicle in and was told by the dealership that the vehicle is worth nothing that it was a total loss no one disclosed that to us at time of purchase we would never have bought that vehicle please help don't know what to do
You may have a misrepresentation claim in this particular situation. Step one is to find out which of these conflicting reports that you were given is correct. It is unsafe to assume that the current dealer is the correct dealer without substantiation. Make sure you get ALL documentation related to the car, then contact an attorney to review the documents for you so a determination can be made as to whether you have a case, and against whom.Ask a similar question
You may have a claim fraud, misrepresentsation, and others against the dealer.Ask a similar question
You may have a claim for fraud, misrepresentation, and violation of the Michigan Consumer Protection Act. Contact an attorney not afraid to try cases as this one based solely on the facts given should not be settled unless you are made 100% whole.Ask a similar question
Dealers often will hide behind a supposedly "clean Carfax" even though they know the vehicle they are selling was previously wrecked (and sometimes they look for these vehicles because they know they can still be sold at a premium). Carfax itself says that its reports are not to be relied upon.
A dealer that knows or reasonably should know about prior damage to a vehicle (especially a prior total loss), and that fails to disclose this to a purchaser, touches on many legal areas: unfair and deceptive practices, fraud, and warranty to name a few. Whether you have a claim (and how strong that claim is) depends on a lot of things: what took place during the sales process, the nature of the prior damage (total loss obviously indicates the damage was severe - although states have varying definitions of what constitutes a total loss); whether the damage was repaired properly; how obvious the damage was; and what the dealer knew at the time it sold the vehicle (where did the vehicle come from, were there any disclosures made to the dealer, or pre-sale inspections made by the dealer, etc).
You will certainly want to have the vehicle looked at by a competent body shop who can tell you the nature and extent of the damage and prior repair work, and whether the vehicle is currently safe to drive. Needless to say, these cases get complicated. I recommend speaking to an experienced auto fraud attorney in your state who can look at the sales paperwork and other facts, advise you of your options, and help determine what steps need to be taken to investigate your issue.
You are fortunate to live in a state with some highly experienced auto fraud attorneys who may be able to help. Check out the National Association of Consumer Advocates (www.naca.net) for referrals.

Darkness and Death collide.
Zanaria had one thought running through his mind as he dodged yet another blow from his shadowy twin. "Damn he's good."
His shadowy tiwn let out a screech before diving at Zanaria again. Zanaria quickly tilted to the side just as shadow Zanaria swung, slicing the air where Zanaria once stood. Zanaria swung his blade but the doppelganger blocked it and returned a swing. Zananaria blocked that slash, letting out a laugh. However it was short lived as his shadow counterpart brought his knee upwards and knocked the wind out of Zanaria.
"Son of a..." Zanaria groaned before falling towards the ground. His shadow twin laughed and lunged at him. The shadow Zanaria brought his sword up to strike but a rock whizzed right by his face. The shadow looked up and saw a boy with a trench coat on staring at him. The shadow screeched before diving towards London.
"Stupid idea, stupid idea!"
A twitch in the eye.
"Shut up! The plan is to distract him!" London yelled.
A twitch in the eye.
"Well it's working! Bird boy's right behind us!" London turned around and was knocked to the ground as the shadow Zanaria passed right above them. London spat dirt out of his mouth and stared at the smiling shadow, menacingly approaching. London closed his eyes and braced himself for his death.
A twitch in the eye.'
"Stupid idea I told you!"
Suddenly he heard and oomph sound and opened his eyes. He saw Zanarais, buised and a bit bloody beating the shadow with his fist. Rage filled his eyes as he swung faster and harder. Shadowy little creatures began to pour out of the shadow Zanaria's face. He then grabbed hold of the creatures neck and tightened his grip. He then glared at London.
"Don't just stand there," He yelled. "RUN!!" London nodded and scarmbled to his feet. But instead of running away from the ravine, he ran towards it. He scanned the area hoping to find Anna when he heard a weak cry for help. He looked across the ravine and saw Anna in the grip of the shadow demon lord. He smiled as the four other figures approached. The one in the black trenchcoat laughed at London.
"It's over." he cried in a wraith-like voice. The shadow Alastor brought his hand over the ravine, with Anna squirming to break free.
"So long!" shadow Alastor cried. He then released his grip and London screamed as Anna began to fall...

By MIKE McCALL
Tom Sermanni couldn't have asked for a much better start to his tenure at the helm of the U.S. women's national team.
Six games in, Sermanni's squad is unbeaten with a plus-15 goal differential, and a trip to Portugal ended with another Algarve Cup title. The team's 18 goals have come via nine different players, and a host of young talent has stepped forward to give the new coach plenty of options as he gears up for the 2015 World Cup cycle.
Even the worst result — a 1-1 draw against Sweden and former U.S. coach Pia Sundhage — still propelled the Americans into the final in Portugal, and a handful of injuries have had little effect thus far.
Friday brings another chance to add to that impressive early résumé, as the U.S. takes on Germany in Offenbach at 12:15 p.m. It's a rematch of the Algarve Cup title match and another clash of the top two teams in the FIFA World Rankings, and while this and Tuesday's friendly at the Netherlands won't carry much meaning, there are plenty of storylines to keep an eye on.
Here are five storylines to keep an eye on, along with the roster and our projected Starting XI:
1. The Youth Movement
Thus far, Sermanni appears much more experimental than Sundhage. Eight players on this roster have fewer than 10 appearances, and he included five who earned their first career caps earlier this year: forward Christen Press, midfielder Kristie Mewis, goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris, and defenders Crystal Dunn and Julie Johnston. Goalkeeper Adrianna Franch (uncapped) is also on board.
Of course, it's not just about being in the squad, and Sermanni will be looking for more encouraging signs from the group.
The 24-year-old Press has had a monster debut, scoring four times in only six games, and she and 22-year-old Sydney Leroux (who emerged under Sundhage but got her first start under Sermanni) give the U.S. excellent options behind superstars Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach.
On the back line, Dunn, Johnston and Whitney Engen have tons of potential, and it's a good bet that some of these names will find their way into the 2015 lineup.
After all, by then, more than half of the 2012 gold-medal squad will be 30, and turnover is inevitable as time passes.
The question is how soon these younger players can show they're ready, and these road friendlies bring two more opportunities.
2. Solo-less
Watching the U.S. without Hope Solo in goal is a bit bizarre — like seeing the men minus Tim Howard — and that will be the case again for these matches.
Solo (wrist surgery) and Jill Loyden (hand surgery) are both out, leaving Nicole Barnhart as the leader. Behind her, Harris and Franch have one cap combined, and it'll be interesting to see how they fare should Sermanni give one a shot. Harris' lone start came in the draw with Sweden.
Is there a Brad Guzan in this group? It's hard to argue with Barnhart's results in Portugal, when she blanked China 5-0 and Germany 2-0.
3. Chasing Mia
Up top, all eyes are on Wambach as she edges closer to Mia Hamm's all-time world scoring record of 158 goals. Abby sits at 154, and while it's doubtful that she'll catch Hamm in these two matches, every step is a big one.
Sermanni has said he'd like to see Wambach break the record at home, and these next three road matches (including June 2 at Canada) are a good time to set the stage.
And amidst the flurry of attacking success from players like Press and Leroux, it wouldn't hurt for Wambach to reassert her dominance.
No one would suggest benching the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year, but Wambach will be 35 by the World Cup, and Sermanni knows he'll have some difficult decisions to make in the future.
4. Filling the Lloyd Void
Midfielder Carli Lloyd's broken shoulder, which she suffered at the Algarve Cup, means a spot is up for grabs in midfield.
Megan Rapinoe should be a mainstay on the outside, and a strong case could be made for her as the team's best player. She was the Algarve Cup MVP despite missing the final with an injury, and the Olympique Lyonnais star scored last week as her club keeps steamrolling toward a third straight UEFA Women's Champions League title.
Shannon Boxx also figures as the backbone of the midfield, while the other two spots likely come down to Heather O'Reilly, Tobin Heath, Yael Averbuch and Lauren Cheney, with Press and Leroux also options.
Of that group, Heath is the one to watch. Perhaps the most skilled player on the team with the ball, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder would become a true force by translating her one-on-one ability into more consistent goals and assists. If she can make that leap in the run-up to 2015, the U.S. attack gets even tougher to deal with.
5. Strong at the back?
Often cited as the team's Achilles' heel, the U.S. defense has had a good start to the year: three goals allowed in six matches, and only one during four games in Portugal.
But those tests came in front of big, supportive crowds in the U.S. and in a church-like atmosphere at the Algarve Cup. Two weeks ago, a report surfaced that 10,000 tickets had been sold for the match in Germany (along with a great German poster hyping up Hope Solo — oops), meaning this will be a decidedly different atmosphere.
Christie Rampone, Becky Sauerbrunn, Ali Krieger, Rachel Buehler and Kelley O'Hara give Sermanni veteran options, and sprinkling in the aforementioned upstarts like Dunn, Engen and Johnston would provide solid learning opportunities.
Here's a look at the roster, followed by a Starting XI prediction:
USWNT Roster – Friendlies vs. Germany (April 5) and the Netherlands (April 9)
Goalkeepers: Nicole Barnhart, Adrianna Franch, Ashlyn Harris
Defenders: Rachel Buehler, Crystal Dunn, Whitney Engen, Julie Johnston, Meghan Klingenberg, Ali Krieger, Kelley O'Hara, Christie Rampone, Becky Sauerbrunn
Midfielders: Yael Averbuch, Shannon Boxx, Lauren Cheney, Tobin Heath, Kristie Mewis, Heather O'Reilly, Megan Rapinoe
Forwards: Sydney Leroux, Alex Morgan, Christen Press, Abby Wambach
Projected Starting XI:
What do you think? Can Wambach can put up four or five goals in these two matches? Nervous about the goalkeeping? Any youngsters you hope to see on the field? What's your preferred Starting XI?
Share your thoughts below.
Elite Hunting
Barnhart is a better back up than Guzan in relative terms. She's been with the USWNT for 9 years and has 49 caps. The real question should be does the USMNT have a backup the quality of Nicole Barnhart?
Really, you're measuring quality in terms of years and caps?
Elite Hunting
No, but it is one measure. The fact is that Barhart is a better number 2 than Guzan. If you watched the team play instead of just looking to argue, you'd know that.
Weston John
Elite…did u see the last 2 USMNT games? Guzan put up clean sheets against Mexico (in Azteca!) and Costa Rica in World Cup Qualifying games under extreme pressure. Guzan has been a complete stud at Aston Villa this year. Most people no longer view Guzan as a #2, but more of a 1(b) option with Howard being 1(a). Barney is a great back-up, but I think it's poor timing on your part to question whether the USMNT has as good of a back-up right after Guzan has proven his case beyond any doubt.
Elite Hunting
No one said Guzan isn't a great goalkeeper. I certainly didn't. I did say that Barnhart is a better, more solid # 2 than Guzan. Which she is.
I never questioned whether the USMNT has a good backup. You made that up and attributed it to me. Settle down a bit. Why so freaked out?
Lol funniest thing I have read all day.
Old School
I think this entire comparison is ridiculous to begin with.
Oh, hello there Alex.
best women's team in the world and yet we have no soccer league? what do we need to do to form an actual 12 league team in THE USA and have it be the best league in the world?
Be a smaller country. Among other problems, the travel and associated expenses are killers for the league.
Plus most other countries share resources with the men. When you already have a healthy set up for men's & youth teams, it's not that big a deal to add a couple of extra teams to use the fields/staff/facilities on an alternating schedule.
And we should mention that the Euro salaries aren't all that high (except for the stars). It's not uncommon to have a few well paid imports and then locals who don't get paid at all.
Get the public to care about women's club soccer, I think. We've tried in the past and so far we've failed.
It's not confined to women's soccer. Fact of the matter is women's sports do not have the same draw, regardless of sport.
It sounds like you haven't heard of the National Women's Soccer League. It's fewer than 12 teams and it remains to be seen how high the level will be. But if it's not the best in the world, it has to at least be close.
Josh D
Play exciting soccer for one. The women's game at the club level was dire.
Though this comes from someone who thinks watching the WNT play is utterly boring. It's hard to support team who's so dominate. How many games have they won in a row? 20? It's like putting Barca in MLS. There may be one or two hiccups, that's soccer, but Barca would destroy. The WNT destroys all the rest.
I will say, I think that domination comes from the college game which is extremely important to women's soccer, as opposed to men's where its importance is quickly dropping.
I apologize for the ignorant question but where is the best woman's league? England? Where are the US players playing club?
Weston John
My opinion is that best club teams are in France right now with Sweden a close second. Heath & Rapinoe play in France, Averbuch & Press play in Sweden, and Engen plays in England. The rest play in the new US league (National Womens Soccer League).
Germany, Sweden, France are likely the best. The big issue — the top teams are very good, but the quality drops off quickly. Only a few teams per league are really quality.
The NWSL will be among the top 4 almost from the start. With most of the USWNT, Canadian & Mexican NT players and a handful of top imports already on board, it will be able to hold its own.
Weston John
Agreed that NWSL could quickly become one of the top leagues in the world (if not #1) in terms of both quality and attendance. Champions League in Europe seems to decide the best team, so it would be cool to have a Club World Cup one day where the Portland Thorns could take on Lyon!
It will probably be the best league top to bottom, but not sure how the best teams will stack up against the best of the CL in Europe. Probably well, but you can't tell with new teams.
The pool of talent in North America is amazing (half the Mexican team is dual US citizens). I think over 1/2 the teams in the Olympics had at least 1 dual citizen American on the team (heavily biased toward GKs).
If the salaries can keep up, the league will be in a good situation vs. the rest of the world's leagues.
For your second question, there are USWNT pool players in Sweden and Germany and France plus one in England. England has lagged in salaries.
interesting considering epl is so profitable
It's a hobby and they usually only invest out of embarrassment. Here are the 8 teams in the FA WSL:
Birmingham City
Bristol Academy
Doncaster Rovers Belles
Lincoln Ladies
You'll notice a lack of a ManU team — I think they got rid of it in 2005.
And OMG, they don't have relegation… Not proper football at all.
England didn't really get a professional league until 2011 with the Women's Super League. And even that isn't fully pro and salaries are pretty low.
Have people buy their jerseys, watch the game on TV and go to the games.
it's nice to see Krieger back. real nice.
whats the point of 30 matches a year with the WNT. we know they're the best. can't we get a professional league going on?
Old School
The answer to your first question is the result of your second question: No
I wish it were on TV. I've yet to see a match since Sermanni took over.
The two games in Europe will be on ESPN3. So while not on TV, it will be watchable. And the Canada game will be on ESPNews.
Though we can offer you an England-born, Nigerian citizen from our U-20 team and another with Italian/Argentine/US citizenship, I think you are looking for the men's youth teams. Down the hall and to the left.
The coach is at least foreign so you can be sure they are in good hands.
The potential starting 11 looks good, but I think Pinoe and O'Reilly should be flopped. Germany is going to really bring a lot of offensive pressure. It will be interesting to see how Sermanni responds, if we play wide open toe to toe or sag and counter. Hopefully we see Morgan and Syd up top.

Wiltshire Council is anticipating a green Christmas as residents use their blue lidded bins to recycle record amounts of plastic bottles and cardboard.
The delivery of 135,000 blue lidded bins to homes across west, north and east Wiltshire means it will be even easier to recycle over the festive period.
Cllr Linda Conley, Conservative Portfolio Holder for Waste said:
The new plastic bottle and cardboard recycling service has got off to a good start. In the first month over 700 tonnes of plastic bottles and cardboard have been collected from households across Wiltshire and diverted from landfill.
The new blue lidded bins will make it much easier for people to recycle all their extra cardboard packaging and fizzy drinks bottles. We are expecting to divert record amounts of plastic bottles and cardboard from landfill over the Christmas period.
People can also take any extra recycling to one of eleven household recycling centres across Wiltshire. All household recycling centres will be open between Christmas and New Year. They will close at 1pm on Christmas Eve and be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. They will be open from 9am to 4pm (6pm in Salisbury) and Monday to Sunday at all other times.
Throughout January only, households that currently receive a garden waste collection can leave their Christmas tree beside their bin for collection on their normal scheduled garden waste collection day.
Cllr Conley added
"There will be minimal disruption to waste and recycling collections over the holiday period. Our bin crews won't be working on Boxing Day but will be working on Saturday December 31 to catch up and on Monday January 2 so there won't be any disruption to services over New Year."
There will be no collections of service, household waste, black box, garden waste, plastic bottles or cardboard on Christmas Day or Boxing Day. Please check our waste and recycling collection over Christmas page to see how this affects your collections.
The table below shows how collections change over the festive period.

Poll: In To Ride Upon Svadilfari, what pairing(s) would you prefer for Hermione? Vote Now!
Author has written 18 stories for Naruto, Harry Potter, Final Fantasy VII, Inuyasha, Mass Effect, Veronica Mars, and Thor.
From geekysoundcat comes Kill Your Heroes' new cover art, so go compliment the original:
(If the link isn't working, search for geekysoundcat This is the End).
Please view the new art for the Hel arc of To Ride Upon Svadilfari. (
Against my better judgment but in the interest of at least resting assured that you have some idea of what Harry looks like in his between-form, you can see the concept art for TRuS here. I know its bad and it isn't likely to ever get better, but my medium is words. As of 3/22, there's also a new concept sketch on my Deviant profile--it's under scraps and not gallery. But if you want to see a rendering of Hermione and Harry done by someone with actual talent, check out ice-vixen-x's version.
I'd like to extent a special thanks to the reviewers who have supported To Ride Upon Svadilfari's focus on Hermione's point of view, though this story actually spends more time in the POVs of other characters than in any other story I've written, which has been interesting because I have to be ready to invest myself into a worldview and grasp of the facts that might not agree with the character whose head we inhabited in the previous chapter. I don't read Harry-centric fiction beyond the actual books, but I have seen summaries and reviews of some of the stories that were admittedly less than flattering. I don't mean to imply that there aren't wonderful Harry-centric fics out there, but from what I've seen, the writers sometimes dare to venture where I would fear to tread. Or, at least, to seriously incorporate into the storyline, though I teased it awfully in Five Kingdoms.
If I were to directly substitute Hermione into Harry's usual role in these kind of stories, she would likely end up with Loki, Harry, Balder, and maybe Thor for good measure in a reverse harem that would make very little sense but would be delightful fun to write. Justifying its existence would be a challenge that makes it tempting, but I could probably only manage to do so after a word count worthy of two novels and I still would have no idea how to explain why Thor was there except for a sheepish admission that I couldn't bear to exclude his wonderful hair. Equal opportunity polyamory--if that happens to be a word--and all that. But I could only imagine the public outcry that would cause, even if it would be an excellent excuse to use the word selamlik in a paragraph and give it the same connotation as a seraglio.
An Apology for the Errors
My method for writing fanfiction differs from the method I use for original fiction. While the latter may lay dormant for years before I return and decide the writing is immature and scrap the whole thing while retaining only the original plot and only the bare bones of that. While this might sound familiar to all of you who read Five Kingdoms For the Dead in both the original and the redux, this process is invisible and painless when I don't have readers emotionally invested in the work. All in all, I think this process is usually for the better, but for fanfiction, updating chapter by chapter, I don't have the same luxury.
What you see on the screen as an update is the result of three or four hours of frantic typing, preceded by days or weeks of mulling over the newest plot twists and complications. Any editing that occurs are the errors I catch while working on the chapter. And with that kind of sloppy process, errors and mistakes are going to occur. When you point them out, I try to correct them and I'm always grateful. Sometimes I even have the spare time to go back and spruce up stories or chapters. But this is the process that works for me and that makes writing fanfiction a break from more serious kinds of writing. For me, fanfiction is almost like a freewriting exercise, because fanfiction itself serves as a kind of playground where plots too weak to exist as original fiction can flourish and be explored.
So the mistakes will likely continue and I apologize for that, but while I hope they don't detract from your reading experience too seriously, the editing process involved in producing a flawless masterpiece would detract from my experience.
Thanks for your understanding,
Andelevion recently completed a tribute fanart to Five Kingdoms.
However, while I only fool around, some people with actual artistic talent have made contributions, which you should view and applaud them for:
Sealed-Dynasty recently completed this subtle and wonderful portrait of Sakura. It's rewarding to know I don't have to disappear for months to have artists bring my world to life!
I continue to be spoiled by wonderful artists. Enjoy tenterhooks immensely great versions of Shiho and Jun and Sakura. I think Jun can safely be said to be a fan favorite. He's certainly one of my favorite characters to write.
Go on over and enjoy UzzleCue's wonderful Sakura and Jun!
saltygod's gotten in the on the campaign for a new chapter of First Flower with this work of Sakura and Shiho.
From the Five Kingdoms-verse comes this wonderful work of Sakura from cxxiong523.
A rendition of Jun from First Flower of Spring that has made me feel more than a bit guilty for neglecting that story. So if you get in the next six months, you'll have brokenmaelstrom to thank.
Fallen Night by Sakura Taichou
Also, a very striking depiction of Sakura in her Five Kingdoms ANBU guise.
Far better than anything I could have drawn for The Bone Eater is this work by the talented djfox31.
And you might have noticed the new and striking cover for Five Kingdoms, credit for which belongs to the talented Vonneguts, who also made the old covers.
See full sized cover here. And there were several others, all wonderful, that you never got to see.
Five Kingdoms of the Darkest Ink by Kason-sama
The First Flower of Spring by Evionth (I want to own her version of Shiho, seriously.)
Because I had to post this excerpt (i.e. self-indulgent free talk) somewhere and I like my readers too well to attach it to the new chapters of Five Kingdoms.
When I write new chapters, I always think it's such a pity that Naruto's such a shounen manga. In terms of its world mythology, it's kind of extremely sketchy. Scratch that. It is extremely sketchy. Beyond the missions and occasional trips to the ramen stand, the reader is left to wonder what life is like for these characters when they aren't experiencing emotional angst. In a format like manga, where you can literally show the reader without ever once saying something outright, really good stories usually have a strong feeling of taking place in a separate world with its own distinct rules, religions, and cultures. But Naruto...doesn't. What do they do for fun in the village? You have wireless headsets, so there has to be television, right? What's the programming like? What about karaoke? Bars exist and hotsprings full of monkeys and organizations that seem synonymous with yakuza, so it gives off the impression that we're in a psuedo-Japan, but there are gaping holes.
There doesn't even seem to be a native religion. The only one we observe is Jashinism, which certainly isn't the one commonly practiced. So I'll apologize in advance to all the Naruto purists who are still hanging on, because throughout this fic I've adopted in part and wholesale Shinto and Buddhism, because occasionally (mostly on evidence of the funeral of the Third, the Buddhist symbol used by the Hyuuga clan in their seal, and the Sage of the Six Paths--which would be the simplified Buddhist view of the six levels of existence that one can be reborn into, the appearance of the Three Imperial Treasures, and about a billion other things) it seems Kishimoto uses the social structure of feudal Japan and adds televisions. Even some of the summons, like Danzo's baku (the long-nosed tapir-looking thing that eats nightmares and is present for all of about seven panels in a fight that had a lot of dramatic-build up and then promptly collapsed under the strain of its own weight), are drawn straight from his native mythology, so I don't feel too guilty. Even about Byakko, who apparently is shaky ground because I implicated it would take more than the power a tailed beast to summon it. As I understand the tailed beasts in cannon-verse, they're only chakra constructs themselves, not an actual demon like the Ten-Tails, who can be created only with the addition of all the tailed beasts and is apparently magnitudes stronger than any of them singularly, even the Kyuubi.
They were created by the Sage of Six Paths, who is a semi-mythic legendary figure, like the Yellow Emperor of China (I'm looking for an example most people would recognize without having to Google and that was the best I could do without creating new controversy), but who is not part of a creation myth. Every culture that I'm aware of has one (many surprising similar), so by virtue of that, I made a decision as an author that there were obviously other beings in existence. For example, the Ten-Tails was not the only demon, just the most powerful. And given the nature of dualism, if demons exist, there must be equal and opposite beings of good. Hence the borrowing of the Shinto pantheon. But what about Byakko? Technically, Byakko is a symbol drawn originally from Chinese astrology (under a different name--I think its Baihu, but I don't have confidence in that), which would seem unrelated at first to the framework Kishimoto created. More within the context would be to transition to the Shitenno, the Four Heavenly Kings (Shinto deities apparently can be thought of as manifestations of bodhisattva once Buddhism was imported), but Komokuten would be both outside the ANBU zodiac theme and probably prompt a lot of, Say what? Who or what is that? And you're here to have fun, not learn about myth systems.
I wanted something that was unique to Sakura, something that could put her on the same level as the boys, but that they could not duplicate. So, therefore, an actual major kami that may or may not listen and whose summoning could occur only at great cost. After all, there had to be some reason the scroll was sealed away in the first place, yes? Think of it like the Fourth's sealing technique.
And if you're still hung up on the point, of course Naruto could do it, please remember that you're reading close third-person P.O.V., which means that you are not reading the be-all, end-all, Word of God decision of an omniscient narrator. You are in the mind of Sakura, a girl who is about to sacrifice herself in order to destroy both Obito and Amanozako. Of course she wants to feel that the act is special, that it matters. Would you like your last thoughts to be, Oh, if only Naruto was here. Then I could stand back and watch as he performs miracles and saves us all. If you're looking for that kind of Sakura, I'll refer you to canon. Five Kingdoms is meant to have a heavy psychological aspect. I try very hard to represent the unique mindset, values, and morals of each character in their P.O.V. (sometimes, like in First Flower, I'll even make an effort to adjust diction so that it's more obvious who we're seeing from the eyes of), but the limitation of this is that you can only experience the story as they do.
Alright, a word on the fights that occur in my version of the Naruto-verse; you'll see it quite heavily in The Tale of the Hime chapter of FKFTD and chapter 7 of First Flower, but upon many an occasion I use my own vision of violence rather than the epic, episode-after-episode length battles that occur in the anime and manga. Which I find all well and good, but upon occasion I sometimes want my characters to kill like ninja, not pit gladiators. Short, brutal, and swift are the keywords for it, though a few people have called it abrupt. To me, it's a kind of compliment, because violence on that scale should always be sort of shocking, not a forgone conclusion. It reinforces the transience of a life defined by violence and that some days, these people of impossible strength die not with some kind of glorious fanfare, but in some hidden, forgotten corner of the world. But that's my opinion. Feel free to PM if you wish to argue or discuss. I'm an English major at heart--I will always enjoy looking at the other side of the coin and nothing makes my heart flutter like intelligent debate.
And if anyone wants to do fanart for any of my stories, you are welcome to it. I would, however, like you to send me a link. After all, what fun would it be if I couldn't look at it?
You know how in manga the author sometimes takes advantage of extra space to ramble on about themselves, which the translators don't even usually bother with? This is that space.
What does Evil-sama like? Happy endings that don't feel contrived. And when my chronic second-lead syndrome is happily surprised by the fact that very, very rarely, the good guy wins.
What does Evil-sama dislike? When an author creates a capable, intelligent heroine and then proceeds to pair her with someone whose redeeming character points I'm blind to. My most frustrating example of this was the Harry Potter series, where I couldn't understand why Ron--who spent the better part of the series endangering Hermione's sense of self-confidence and self-worth--ended up married to her. I'd have rather her marry someone we didn't even meet in the novels, for I like her very much. Besides, in what sense is a man reliable if he abandons you in the middle of a war? My other pet grievance, which finds most of its fodder in the Naruto series, is when a formerly weak and blatantly 2-D character like Sakura seems about to undergo some major character development, only to find my hopes cruelly dashed. And, yes, before you tell me she did train under Tsunade-sama, I'd like to point out that relegating a female character to the role of healer is the oldest trick in the book for keeping her in the party but out of the way of the action. Real doctors are intelligent people whom I respect very much, field medics more so, but in the Naruto-verse they are far underutilized and seem an excuse to shunt Sakura to the side. And I've seen many people in fics cite the Hippocratic Oath as the reason she doesn't use her medical know-how offensively (mostly as part of a set-up to have her heal the enemy of her choice and fall madly in love with him), but that always leaves me a bit baffled. We'll skip the part where I sometimes try to imagine how and when the philosophy of Greek wriggled into a psuedo-Japan that's still under the feudal system and has never heard of Westerners except in one non-canon movie and delve right into the pragmatic assessment of their profession. They are ninja. Their primary roles are as spies and assassins. In either of these roles, is there room for setting aside a skillset that you've spent the better part of your life training to acquire? The answer to that, for me, is a resounding "no."
All right, about my personal preferences for pairings:
My other definite favorite is Naruto/Hinata, because they really deserve to be together.
Harry Potter:
Final Fantasy VII:
Yuffie and Vincent are my favorite characters, along with Sephiroth.
Story Status:
Five Kingdoms for the Dead: Complete.
The First Flower of Spring: In Progress.
Fallen Night: In Progress. And, be warned, it is a crack!fic. Which, if you've read beyond the first chapter, you'll figure out quickly.
Memorium for the Rain: Paused while I scramble to keep up with five actively updating stories. However, if you review it enough, I might be tempted to take a look.
Colors of Hate: Complete (oneshot)
Truth and Change: Complete (oneshot)
The Bone Eater: In Progress.
Where the West Wind Blows: In Progress.
Final Fantasy VII
Genesis Rising: Hiatus.
Harry Potter
Cold Gaze: Farmed Out.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to PM me, though I can't promise my response will be prompt. I'm usually busy with real life, but I'll try to get back to you.

(CNN)You just checked in at the front desk of your hotel and are making your way up the elevator to your room.
Unbeknownst to you, there are people checking into their rooms in the very same building, but they're checking into an entirely different hotel.
How can that be? It's part of the growing hotel-within-a-hotel trend that's popping up at select properties across North America.
Aimed at a luxury-oriented, privacy-seeking clientele, these hotels-within-hotels are generally located on a specific floor or floors of an existing property and have their own entrance, their own staff and heightened services and amenities.
These hidden properties don't typically display signage and are rarely advertised, so you could well be staying at the same location and not even know the other hotel exists.
Personalized, refined
The Flagler Club is a 25-room boutique hotel discretely located within The Breakers, the renowned Palm Beach, Florida, resort.
It opened in late 2015 on the sixth and seventh floors of the property, following a $5 million renovation.
"The hotel-within-a-hotel strategy is used to create something more upscale, with higher levels of service refinement," explains Tricia Taylor, senior vice president and general manager of The Breakers.
"Hotels with thousands of guestrooms want to create an additional product offering within, that is smaller in scale to feel more intimate and personalized to guests," she says.
Staying at a hotel-within-a-hotel is not to be confused with staying on the club or concierge level of an upscale property, although the concept is similar.
"Concierge floors and club levels are found in chain hotels and primarily focus on inclusive food and drink," says Taylor. "Many hotels sell access passes to the concierge floor, or use it to reward loyal customers with upgrades.
"In essence, the concierge floor becomes a VIP perk, and its guestrooms could be in a dedicated area or spread throughout a hotel; they are typically the same design as all of the hotel's guestrooms," she says. In contrast, the Flagler Club's rooms, service and amenities are different from those The Breakers' main hotel offers.
"Nothing is replicated, not even the staff," says Taylor.
So where are these elite hotels-within hotels? Here are a few properties worth reserving:
5 hotels-within-hotels
The Breakers is an iconic Florida beachfront resort dating to 1896, and its guest registry over the years includes names like J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie.
Had the recently opened Flagler Club been around inside The Breakers back in the day, you surely would have found them enjoying its stylish digs and plentiful perks, like complimentary fully stocked mini-bar, exclusive use of the chauffer-driven Tesla house car and the dedicated staff there to wait on guests hand and foot.
From $950 a night.
Vegas is at the forefront of the hotel-within-a-hotel trend, and this retreat on the top floor of the Monte Carlo casino is just one of the secret hotels-within-a-hotel in the MGM Resorts collection.
Its 51 rooms are decidedly larger than those in the main hotel, and the long list of amenities includes private check-in, walk-in chromatherapy rain showers, complimentary airport limo pickup and free clothes pressing and shoe shining.
Best of all, Hotel 32 is one of the more affordable hotels-within-a-hotel you'll come across.
From $150 a night.
Canyon Suites, Arizona's only Forbes Five-Star/AAA Five Diamond hotel, is located at the foot of Camelback Mountain within the 250 acres of the itself-spectacular Phoenician resort.
Guests can hang out in one of the Canyon Suites' 60 rooms and suites or in one of the cabanas at the private infinity pool.
They'll also have access to a daily wine tasting with a resident sommelier, a personal Canyon Ambassador to assist them with requests, plush bedding and bowls and other perks for their pets.
Therapeutic Turndown service -- a bath prepared with a variety of soothing salts -- caps off a day at Canyon Suites.
From $484 a night.
This 343-room hotel within the Royalton Riviera Cancun takes exclusivity to the next level by restricting it to visitors over the age of 18.
Hideaway guests enjoy access to all of the main resort's restaurants, bars, activities and fitness facilities, but when they want more privacy, they can retreat to this adults-only haven.
Complimentary extras like weekly champagne and chocolate parties, in-room aromatherapy, 24-hour concierge service and personalized beach bags are available to guests.
From $166 a night.
There's already a Nobu Hotel -- a partnership between chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and film producer Meir Teper -- located within Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.
Now another one is set to open October 1 inside Miami's iconic Eden Roc Miami Beach.
When it makes its eagerly anticipated debut, the Nobu will offer not only the same stunning oceanfront views and Morris Lapidus design aesthetic as the Eden Rock, but feature its own signature Nobu restaurant, two pools, spa and fitness facilities and more than 70,000 square feet of event space.
Rates still to be determined.
