Satanic War in Jerusalem
Well here's something unexpected: Israeli black metal. But don't worry, they're not traitors to the BM cause, they just happen to be hail from Jerusalem, giving Arallu an authentic view of the people that their northern brethren rail so loudly against. In fact, they lay down the gauntlet in their bio: "we got in touch with some of the known "black metal" bands of today, invited them to share our blasphemy and share a stage with us here. The "virtual black metal" bands were afraid to come here...They feel good to be virtual warriors." Well, with that said, the time has come to see if they deliver on their promises.
The vocals are done in a mid-range, raspy tone, while the music harkens back to the 80's. The music has a good bit of Celtic Frost laced throughout, but the drumming is taken up a notch, and the riffage is faster. Another influence is the mighty Slayer. Case in point, the Araya-esque shriek that kicks off Evil has no boundaries. In fact, much of the guitarwork is in the Slayer style, but slowed up 25-50%. A few songs also start off Sabbath-style: with slow and heavy groove. The production is pretty clear, particularly for a little-known black metal act. It's good to see bands not getting caught up in this minimalist business that I despise so much. The drums are a little too far in front for my tastes, but they in no way detract from the guitars or vox, I just really notice them when they are at near-blast speed.
The album starts off with the requisite intro track that succeeds in relegating the first song to the second track position. Beyond that feat, it doesn't do much at all. On the other hand, the opening song, Jewish Devil, is pretty solid. My favorite tracks are the opener, Evil has no Boundaries, and the thrashy Arallu's Rage. On the whole, these Israelites have some promising material. There are quite a few nice thrash moments between the blasting and the slowed-down intros and interludes. While the songs tend to lack cohesion, the end result is quite listenable. Better than I expected from a black metal submission.

Get back to basics! Whether you're just staring a physical activity program or, like Marc, Lauren and Anne, in training for an event like the Bayshore, energy and nutrient balance are key to support training and every day health. What's also important getting started is what and how much you eat, and when you eat it—to give your body energy when you need it—during your active awake time at work, training or play. Timing is everything! Eat and drink right to be alert and perform well.
Eating light or skipping meals during the day and indulging at night gives your body too much energy at one time and not enough at others. Eating just the right amount at each meal or snack helps reduce fatigue and fat storage. For most people this is 3 meals and 1-2 snacks spread evenly throughout the day, according to your schedule.
If it has been 3 to 4 hours since your last meal or, like Marc you are planning a training run or ride that will last longer than 60 minutes good hydration and a small balanced snack will prevent early fatigue and help fuel you to train harder and longer. Likewise, more fluids and a snack immediately following will help muscles refuel and recover for the next day's session.
Watch for specific hydration and fueling strategies when we cover eating before and after exercise during the Race to Bayshore.
The USDA's MyPlate is a simple concept that can be applied anywhere to make sure you're getting energy and nutrient balance. http://www.choosemyplate.gov/
Simply plan to fill half the plate with fruit and non-starchy veggies, one-quarter of the plate with grains and starchy vegetables and one-quarter of the plate with lean protein to balance calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fats.
On a very basic level, altering plate proportions depends on whether you are trying to change or maintain your weight. For the athlete, the plate ratios depend on the stage of training—off-season, pre-season (base) or in-season (competition) and body composition goals. Plan your plate before and after training and competition to support performance and muscle recovery. Consider working with a registered dietitian who specialized in sports nutrition for a plan that is personalized to your body, your sport, your stage of training, and your goals.
What fuel really counts when it comes to training? Follow the team's 16-week training program as I help guide them through making the best choices from each group as well as other practical nutrition tips for optimal performance in the weeks to follow.
Marc, Lauren and Anne can try the following MyPlate meal ideas as they build their training base:
Whole grain cereal (ready-to-eat or oatmeal) with low fat Greek yogurt and, fresh or frozen fruit
Whole wheat English muffin topped with baby spinach, mushroom and egg omelet (1 whole egg + 1 white)
Whole grain tortilla spread with hummus or fat free refried beans, rolled up with grated carrot, cucumber slices, red bell pepper strips, baby spinach inside, followed by fresh fruit
Whole grain bread (crisp, pita, sour dough…), lettuce and tuna "salad" mixed with dried cherries and low fat dressing, alongside veggie "crudités"…carrot, radishes, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets
Whole wheat pasta cooked with an equal amount of broccoli (add broccoli to the boiling water just a few minutes before draining the pasta), tossed with sautéed tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, kalamata olives, and tuna or cannellini beans
Baked sweet potato with grilled pork loin or black beans and sautéed apple and veggies—try Brussels' sprouts, red bell pepper, Swiss chard, onion, garlic, ginger

China struggles on soft power
By Ying Zhu, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Ying Zhu is professor and chair of the Media Culture Department at City University of New York-College of Staten Island and author of 'Two Billion Eyes: The Story of Chinese Central Television.' The views expressed are the writer's own.
It's been almost a year since the U.S. outpost of China Central Television (CCTV) launched under much scrutiny. So far, though, it hasn't made much of a splash. Most Americans have never heard of CCTV, and those that have probably assume that it is the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party. And, in a sense, they are on to something.
Founded in 1978 and funded initially by the Chinese government, CCTV is very much state-owned and controlled. It is supposed to be like public TV -- think PBS or Britain's BBC -- because of its public service mandate. But it is also financially self-reliant like commercial networks such as CNN or NBC. And, just as U.S. cable networks compete fiercely for ratings and revenues, if a CCTV show fails to attract viewers, it gets cut.
But the commercial underpinnings of CCTV shouldn't disguise the fact that CCTV is ideologically driven, and its U.S. arm is the latest effort by the Chinese government to try to project the country's soft power. As a result, for CCTV-America, ratings and revenues are secondary to a higher calling: polishing the image of China.
Last December, CCTV took out a one-page ad in the New York Times, pronouncing, "The world has changed China. And China is now changing the world." And while it is unclear how much cash CCTV-America has at its disposal, its reportedly competitive salaries have persuaded a number of high-profile Western journalists to join it.
For a start, there appear to be limits on controversial news that deviates from the Communist Party script, meaning it can get left behind when Western outlets are covering major news that could embarrass China's leaders.
More from CNN: China works hard at soft power
For example, when The New York Times published a story about the staggering wealth that had allegedly been accumulated by the family of outgoing Premier Wen Jiabao, CCTV-America was silent on the issue. And when Bloomberg ran a report about the multi-million dollar assets allegedly held by the extended family of incoming President Xi Jinping, CCTV-America remained tight-lipped.
Perhaps in part to avoid such sensitive political issues, reporting by CCTV-America is skewed towards economic and financial news. True, it doesn't shy away from big political news around the world -- except, of course, when that news is taking place in China.
When it does cover big political stories in China, it provides no enticing revelations beyond the Communist Party line, meaning the channel missed out on some decidedly juicy ratings fodder last year, as controversy swirled around corruption and behind-the-scenes power struggles. And at a time when foreign correspondents say they are finding it increasingly difficult to secure visas to report from China, Beijing is missing an opportunity to help the rest of the world understand it.
This reality encapsulates the difficulty that CCTV-America finds itself in -- how can it build international credibility while ignoring major stories about China that are being talked about by mainstream U.S. media?
CCTV-International was established a decade ago to emulate CNN's 24-hour open platform of news production, and Chinese officials no doubt hoped that the expansion of CCTV-International would see the channel become something akin to an Asian version of Al Jazeera, bringing alternative voices to an international audience. But while CCTV can be accessed on cable and satellite around the globe, CCTV-America is falling short of its hopes of providing compelling alternative narratives about China.
CCTV might have aspirations to playing in the same pond as the likes of CNN and the BBC. But unless officials loosen their editorial grip, CCTV will remain gasping for air -- and grasping for an attractive identity -- in an increasingly competitive international market.

Out hunting by myself day two as my brother had already shot his deer and my nephew had to leave us. Spent the morning in the double stand and saw absolutely nothing, cold and windy. Was hoping to see another big deer as had seen a rub on a very large cedar the day before. Around 10 a.m. with rain forecast for later that day I made a trip down to the plywood stand ground blind to see if it had a chair in it, and found it had blown over. So spent some time setting it back up. Made my way back to the barn, put a turkey in the smoker, and we went ahead and took my brother's deer the the meat processors. We were eager to get a weight on it.
Got back to the farm around 1 p.m. Thought about taking a nap, but passed on that. Started sleeting around 2 p.m. so like a good hunter I got bundled up and headed out on the ATV. That stuff stings driving into it at 10 mph.
Was torn between where to hunt, a ground blind on the New Plot, which always seems to show deer, or as my brother suggested down by the dozer trail where he shot his deer. Big scrapes all through that area. One huge one about a yard in diameter I had spotted walking to his stand to help him haul his deer out. I decided since I had to pick up a chair left in our tower stand I'd go ahead and listen to my brother and hunt the dozer trail. He had steered me right 3 years ago when he said he thought he heard a buck grunt down in a draw, then left to go home while I went and shot the deer.
I picked the chair up out of the tower stand and took it with me into the woods figuring I'd hunt from the ground. It was sleeting pretty good by then, and after about an hour and moving my chair 6 times I was cold and wet, then I remembered the plywood stand ground blind I had set back up earlier in the morning. So packed all my gear up and traipsed the 75 yards to it, figuring at least I'd be dry and I could hunt the side of hill that runs our edge feathering back into the woods.
Spent about 5-10 minutes adjusting windows and getting myself situated and being thankful I was out of the sleet. About 20 minutes in, the sleet finally started to let up, but it was still noisy enough on the blind to let me know I wouldn't be hearing any deer coming in. Was doing quite a bit of frequent calling, grunts and bleats with a can, but not seeing anything. I was being pretty loud figuring with all the weather the deer were probably hunkered down and my calling wasn't going to scare anything.
About 3:45 I caught a glimpse of two deer moving through the brush about 80 yards in front of me. I couldn't tell what they were, does or bucks, but got the scope on one as it stood still in the brush. Had a good sized body, but unable to see the head I had to let it pass. I figured where there were two, more might be following so I repositioned my chair in the blind to be able to look a little further to the left. In about 30 seconds two more deer appeared. Got the scope on the first one and saw he had enough points to shoot, but just wasn't sure about the size. I brought the scope down to locate the second deer and as he stood with his body behind a tree and his head sticking out my first thought was - cow - big bulging neck going straight into the head. I then noticed his antlers, three up on the side facing me and extending out to his nose. I was pretty sure he was definately a shooter. So got my scope on him and tracked him to the other deer. They did a little bit of jostling around, and then started to move away from me. At that point I saw those 3 points up on the right side, extending past the ear and said to myself "what are you waiting for, shoot this deer". So put the crosshairs on his right side as he quartered away and BOOM!
The recoil of my 300 WSM is such that I can never hold the sight picture after the shot and this time was no different. I pretty much rolled with the punch then came back down to see what I could see. I noticed a buck moving slowly off to the right and figured I had hit him, and needed to put another round into him. As I jacked another round into the gun a glimpse of white on the ground and kicking feet caught my attention to the left. That was the deer I shot. I kicked a few more times then stopped. From 70 yards away I could easily make out his white belly. I watched him for a minute or so more, then headed out to see exactly what he was. I crossed a small creek and headed up the hill, as I came up on him I could tell he was good size from about 20 yards away, but still couldn't see any antlers. I got a little closer and looked up and there was the other buck that had been traveling with him watching me from about 25 yards away. He decided to run off and I went on up to the deer.
He was a big boy and had been fighting. Quite a bit of hide rubbed off his back, several gouges in his hide, a gouge in his nose, a broken brow tine, and a bloody area behind his rack. A nice 10 point with 4 stickers and a broken brow tine, for a total of 14 points, would have been 15 had he had both brows. As I looked at him I could tell he was one of the biggest bodied deer I ever shot, he had a belly that was just bulging. Which of course let me to my next thought, I had gut shot him. But that wasn't the case - he just had a lot of guts, the gutpile nearly half again as big as my brother's deer.
Shot this guy at about 70 yards, quartering away, took out both lungs, liver and some of heart. Missed the gut completely. Filled with blood, but no external bleeding - could not find entry or exit wounds until we got him field dressed, and then only from the inside. Time was 3:45 p.m. Sunday afternoon, weather cold but sleet had finally stopped. Used a 300 WSM shooting Federal Fusion 165 grain bullets. He field dressed at 193 pounds, aged at 4.5 years. We scored him at 146 2/8, taking no deductions. Had he not broken that brow tine he would have cleared 150. He stumbled maybe 5 yards to the left of where I shot him before going down.
Perfect ending to a perfect weekend. Now we're sitting here watching the rain which has been going on since early this a.m. being very thankful we tagged out early and don't have to hunt in this weather.

Toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease found in some farm animals and household pets. Cats arethe a carrier of the disease and can transmit it to people through feces-especially when fecal material handled or allowed to sit until old and dry. The fecal matter is then either ingested or can become airborne and then is inhaled.
Although cats can transmit the disease, they are not the major sources of infection to humans. People are more likely to pick up toxoplasmosis by handling or eating raw meat or not cleaning up thoroughly after handling the meat.
Cats can get toxoplasmosis from eating raw meat or prey of animals such as mice. Therefore, cats who hunt stand a greater chance of being exposed or infected. In most cases, cats will show no signs of being infected. However, lethargy, loss of appetite, and fever may indicate early infection with the disease.
People who have contracted toxoplasmosis may exhibit mild, flu-like symptoms. However, the problem is more serious for pregnant women or immunocompromised individuals. An unborn child of a woman infected during pregnancy may develop birth defects. Immunocompromised individuals developing toxoplasmosis usually have a reactivation of a previous infection.

The carnitas are so good, melts in your mouth. The price is average for this type of place. You will not be disappointed. The previous rating of 1star is totally off base. They do not know what good food taste like
Son works his butt off to make all his meals great. He is also one funny dude..his regulars love him. His Pho, chicken or beef Bun and chicken curry are a nice addition to his regular fare of sandwiches made on his own fresh baked breads. His burger rocks also. Breakfast cant be beat with his special pancakes.
Lets just say it is worth a try..oh and his egg rolls are best in town.
The best fried rice in town. Great Chinese food. Authentic Viet food. And good Thai food.
Fantastic food, friendly service and great prices.
I have visited Son's often since finding his restaurant (and also to allow my wife the opportunity to shop at the grocery outlet store). Everything on the menu is worth trying because you cannot go wrong. In other words they taste and look good without being pretentious or overwhelming. Even the coffee is delicious and is not permitted to run out. Friendly people visit and the staff also.
Love this place. I have been coming here since I was a kid ( 30 + years sgo) Always great steak and beans. Pit beef is also excellent. My kids love the wild west show, train, and general store. My first choice for a steak dinner.
M. Bright
Service and food is great. They go out of their way to prepare what you like if you don't see it on the steam tables. Going beyond the mundane Chinese dishes is where they shine. The oysters, escargot, variety of soups, sushi all are superbly prepared.
We have never found the food to be cold and certainly irt is full of flavor.
We go to their other restaurant in Green Valley-Sahuarita "Panda House Restaurant".
Sean, Tim, TuiLynn, Emma and all the staff are courteous and can explain everything fully if you qwant to know. We have been there a coulpe of dozen times and never disappointed.
We are from San Franciso and enjoy Chinese Food to its fullest.
P.S. We like it!
Delicious. Love them. Keep smokin' the Best BBQ in Tucson
I think the food at Caruso's is great! I have never been disappointed. The house salad dressing they have is so delicious I am always asking for more bread to dip in it. I am very happy that there is a place in Tucson that has history, great food and good service!
Great vibe, and a must for a light meal or drinks after attending an event downtown. Steak (now pork) frites was well-cooked and appropriately seasoned; mac & cheese was rich without being overwhelming. Featured cocktails change from time to time, and the adventurous won't be disappointed. Can feel a little understaffed at busy times, but the service remains cheerful and efficient.
I go here all the time, the half sushi roll everyday can't be beat. My family is also a fan of the lunch box menu. The service staff seems to change a lot, but I can't say I've ever had bad service.
Great place for happy hour.
Maria Bonita was a wonderful place for a family, also with very delicious food. My family and I loved it. We were truly sad when we saw it closed. I seriously hope to see a Maria Bonita opened once more, but from my understanding why this family restaurant closed was in fact for the building, not completely sure but the owner had said that the building was in bad bad condition. Anyways hope to see it open once again, and if does my family and i will in fact be there.
I couldn't have enjoyed my experience more. The IPA was delicious, as were the burger and onion rings. Nice adult atmosphere and the service was good. I look forward to more visits in the future.
A real restaurant. Well run, professional, good food, actually decorated. A reliable place to put on the list.
We've been here five times now, and keep coming back. The atmosphere is Japanese Modern chic, with lots of black and red. The service is excellent and the sushi is too! It's fast becoming our sole sushi restaurant.
We stopped in thinking it was an Italian deli only and were pleasantly surprised by their dinner menu. They serve handmade vegetarian ravioli-several types, including a slightly sweet squash filled pasta that contrasted nicely with the buttery, garlicky sauce. My husband had the baked ziti with plenty of handmade sausage.
The cannoli made a fine ending to the meal. We noticed the variety of cookies in the pastry case but it was the unfilled cannoli shells that caught our eye. Chocolate dipped or plain? We asked our server for both and he cheerfully brought us cannoli that were perfect- they aren't filled until the customer orders them, keeping the shell from becoming soggy.
Bread baked fresh on the premises, overhearing some funny banter between staff, great food left us wondering, why hadn't we stopped in before?
We're grateful for decent restaurants on the eastside.

"Comfortable hotel out of town"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 24, 2012
No complaints about this hotel. The king bed room was comfortable and staff friendly. Just didn't realize how far away from the action it is. However, staying in Napa would have been twice the price, so good value for money with a basic buffet breakfast.
"Comfortable old style"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 20, 2012
Room comfortable and clean. Services good. A little out of town but convenient. Breakfast good but a little late at 9am for those who like to get on the road early.
"Excellent reasonably priced family hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 3, 2012
Friendly service and convenient when visiting relatives in Marin. Good pool and spa and close to all south Marin sights and shopping.

The Petaluma River, vital to the region's economy in the 1900s, is still active with ships and pleasure craft. The harbor fronts the Victorian downtown district, whose structures survived San Francisco's 1906 earthquake. These sturdy buildings now house antique stores and specialty shops. Visitors to other sections of town might recognize the high school from American Graffiti, filmed here in 1973.

I absolutely loved this hotel! The room was a bit small, but it was so cozy and cute. I loved the private areas for people to sit at outside of our rooms, and the community kitchen was amazing.

The place looked a little over the top in the pictures on the websites but was not so in person. It was clean and more like a B&B than a hotel but the staff was super friendly and helpful.

Check out the Helen Putman Park in town if you like to have a little […] outdoors hiking time and the Lagunitas Brewery & Restaurant was fun too. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"For Francophiles"
We loved this little French-flavored hotel. The only drawback is there is no elevator and the winding staircase to the second floor is somewhat narrow. That said, we're in our 60's and managed okay. There were no screens on the windows but we opened them anyway and bugs weren't a problem (we were there in October, so no mosquitoes or flies at that time […] of year). Nice atmosphere, but if you like modern decor, forget this one. Bed was super comfy and had quality linens with European-style bedclothes and pillows. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Unexpected hotel in Petaluma"
First off finding such a place out in Petaluma was entirely unexpected. the people who run the place day to day are very helpful and accommodating. Everything there is a delight. Some might call it "cute" (but i wouldn't ever use that word) so instead I'll charming!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cute hotel in Petaluma"
Definitely different from the chain hotels. Metro has a kitschy, Parisian theme. It works pretty well, but can be a bit over-the-top. Check-in was fine. Rooms are scattered around a rambling bulding (no elevator). Room was basic, but comfortable, but without a lot of amenities. No air-conditioning, so be careful in the summer. Easy parking and free […] wifi. A very sparse breakfast is provided--coffee and blueberry pound cake. Overall, it was a nice change from the chain hotels, but I am not dreaming about a return visit.

"adorable french romantic getaway"
I loved the personal touch that this place had, being from Petaluma myself my boyfriend and I decided to stay there one night after a road trip all through California and decided it would be a nice way to end it. It felt like we were in a little cottage in the country side of France! the rooms are so quaint and cute I never wanted to leave, and the […] cafe down stairs was to die for. the little garden outside was lovely, feeling like you're off in a distant land- although just a few blocks down the road is historic down town with some of my favorite coffee shops! The owner is so nice and helpful with anything you need. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"good location in up-and-coming Petaluma, fun hotel"
Kind of quirky hotel, very comfortable and clean but small room with rusty sink. Definitely not your name brand hotel. Nice cafe with good help-yourself coffee bar. Take a look at the photos and you will see what I mean. Petaluma has come a long way in the past ten years and is now a much nicer town with good connections to wine country, Pacific and […] San Fran. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
This is a cute little converted home, decorated and comfortable. They have a nice downstairs kitchen area that guests can use for simple food prep. Petes coffee in a pour over cup, do it yourself, in the morning.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This hotel is definitely for tourist. It has a lot of French rustic charecture. Very cute and traditional. As far as my being a business traveller on the functionality of the room I rented; I found it lacking acruechments.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fantastic place to stay; unique and charming!"
The hotel is very nice, secure, comfortable, and had great internet. I was first disappointed that each room did not have a refrigerator , but the hotel only has so few rooms that a communal fridge worked out well. Muffins were provided in the morning and my wife and I just loved the atmosphere.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Room is too small, small overhead window"
We were given a room with no window except an overhead skylight that opens with a stick. When we try to open it more, the stick disengaged. The shower does not work well. We were given a queen for two people . We have a down comforter in summer in a warm room with no A/C. Not a comfortable stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Cute, quaint hotel"
Enjoyed our stay at the Metro Hotel. Cute, quaint place with French flair. If you enjoy getting a different overnight experience than a Holiday Inn, you will like this place. Smaller, unique rooms. Our first room was too hot (no vent), but we were quickly moved to a much cooler room with a skylight. Petaluma is very cute too--wished we would've scheduled […] more time to spend in this small town. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quaint and Clean Metro Lodge and Cafe"
I booked last minute on hotels.com and booked this one because the rate was reasonable. I didn't realize it was a French-themed hotel, which pleased both my boyfriend and me since we like French things. But due to the holiday weekend, the front desk wasn't staffed much, though nothing was needed as we had all we needed. In the morning, the radio played […] French songs and there was coffee and tea. The store-bought plastic-wrapped sweet pastries didn't appeal to us, but we brought our own breakfast, so that was fine. We liked very much the patio area which was shaded by umbrellas and decorated with metal chairs and tables. We would definitely stay here again on our way north. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Charming French Theme"
We loved the decor, the yard, the room, the quaintness, the morning coffee. Overall a great place. Our only disappointment, and not totally unexpected in such an old building, is the shower in the morning went from icy to scalding.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quirky but Pleasant"
This is a nice place to stay in Petaluma that is based upon someone's vision of small, quaint European hotels. Quite quirky, but of good quality. No elevators, but they will take your bags up and down for you to the 2nd floor. Nice breakfast area, very comfortable beds. Best said is that my SO (female) loved the place. I thought it was good, but I am […] not a big fan of "quaint" and tend to like Hyatt Regency style to that of B&B's. My SO "aggressively" disagrees and really enjoyed staying here.

"Cute hotel with excellent service"
This is a wonderfully located B & B just a couple of blocks to stores and restaurants in downtown Petaluma. Jeff, checked us in and was so kind, warm and very professional, his bosses should double his pay !!!!! He answered all of our questions, and made us feel at home. Because the hotel was built in the 1800's, the floors are a little creaky, and […] the walls a little thin, but that adds to the charm of the property. No extra charges were made for using the toiletries provided in the bathroom. They are CLEARLY in large containers which the hotel refills when low, and are not meant to be taken at the end of your stay. Don't worry, they won't charge for them as a prior guest had written. He probably took the 10 oz container of shampoo thinking it was free like the sample sized ones given at motels Although the room had no a/c, a room fan was provided in the closet and helped to cool down our room in summer. Highly recommended for a fun time at a wonderful location with a great price. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Right in wine country..."
The Metro hotel was perfectly located for our stay in wine country. The staff was very friendly, and the rooms were very well decorated. Very easy to get to downtown Petaluma, as well as the rest of Sonoma county and surrounding wineries. My only complaint is that Jeff told us he was moving us to a "better" room, however, the room he moved us to was […] right next to the kitchen and cafe, which meant a lot of early morning noise and traffic.

"Funky French Hostel Hotel"
The Metro has a nice hostel feel to it. Lots of interesting stuff in a really historical building. Road noise could be an issue but was not disturbing to us. Coffee and self serve breakfast was disappointing. Coffee was good , I was expecting more than pound cake as food. A bit of fruit, cereal or toast/bagel options would have been perfect. I would […] reccommend this hotel to people who can roll with that . Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Funky Fun"
Funky fun. It was nice for 1 night but I'm not sure my husband would have gone for 2. The rooms were clean with rustic, eclectic furnishings. It's an old building so the walls are thin. A lot of places for outside sitting but the cafe chairs are a little rickety. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel"
I appreciate the level of attentive service the hotel staff took to welcome me upon arrival. This hotel is a family run business and they certainly did a nice job of welcoming me to their 'home'. A historic mansion that was converted to a hotel, the rooms are small but clean and comfortable. Lots of quirky decorations and little nooks make this spot […] unique and a welcome change from the typical hotel chain. In the mornings they offer pastries and coffee. Thank you for a comfortable stay, I will be back! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good place for couples"
We stayed 2 nights. Quiet, nice bed, breakfast was only a choice of 2 sweet breads. Coffee was good but would be better made with filter funnels.

"Sweet Little Oasis"
The Metro is a sweet little oasis in the midst of an urban setting. The staff were very obliging and helpful, whenever we had a question. The room was clean and comfortable, and the furnishings really are shabby-chic, just as the photos suggest. We very much enjoyed our stay there and would happily return when we're in the area. Since we had lived […] very close by 50(!) years ago, we were eager to see if the area had changed. Not much. We were delighted to see that many houses have been beautifully restored and preserved, including The Metro. We walked a great deal through the neighborhoods, enjoying the homes of every style imaginable from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. P.S. Petaluma, like its neighbors Santa Rosa and Sonoma, has done a credible job of preserving its past while recognizing the realities of the 21st century. It now draws a great many young professionals to its vibrant downtown--quite a different scene from 50 years ago, when most of the folks on the streets were from surrounding ranches and farms. It's a great town to visit! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"A Delightful French Treat while in CA Wine Country"
After a long, exhausting drive in the rain and traffic, I landed, late at night, at this little Parisian-style oasis. There were some problems with the room key, and the attendent was quick to help. Because it's an older building, there was some noise from the room above, which woke me in the morning. I would recommend that the proprietors consider […] not playing both French pop music and American televised news at the same time in the foyer and cafe. It was too loud and a bit confusing as my brain did jumping jacks between the sweet French music and blaring American English. Otherwise, the inn was delightful, a lot of fun with the playful, antique French decor, and the attentive staff. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Sweet getaway"
The hotel is very cute, great rooms. The only two things that came up for me was the room had no windows and it got a little warm. A ceiling fan would have helped. Also, we were charged an additional $15 for using the soap and shampoo provided. I've never stayed at any hotel where I was charged for toiletries. I guess you're supposed to bring your […] own.

"Charming, quirky hotel"
If you're tired of hotels with no personality, this hotel is for you! This charming little hotel has unique decor in every room and feels family run. We were greeted by two young ladies and pretty much immediately felt like they were my nieces! The rooms are small but charming; the walls are a little thin, so don't talk or step too loudly, though. My […] shower could have used more water pressure, but was fine. The complimentary breakfast is just pastries and coffee, and you brew your own coffee. Not a lot, restaurant-wise, nearby, so plan accordingly. Free parking lot behind the hotel. All in all, this was a nice stay and I would go back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Unique decor"
This was a very quaint hotel with lots of character. The rooms are very unique with comfortable beds and large bathrooms. There was a claw foot tub in the bath which was painted red. Lots of antiques around the property and very helpful staff. You felt like you were staying in someone's house instead of an "institutional" type hotel. I would highly […] recommend staying here.

"Good for one night stay"
Hotel seems to be trying very hard to be eclectic French- adorable quirky decor, but our room was small and awkward. We stayed four nights to tour wine country and San Francisco. No place to put a second suitcase( we asked for another luggage rack but didn't get one) no dresser, one tiny bedside stand with a huge lamp in the shape of a goose, one tiny […] shelf in the bathroom -so most of our stuff stayed on the floor. A case of form over function. Friendly staff. We did not use the self service cafe. Probably a nice one night stop unless you can get a more commodious room. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Imagine a world where childhood obesity is not an epidemic…a world where all kids, even the most disadvantaged, receive the guidance they need to be physically, mentally and emotionally fit…a world where children have positive role models and can themselves become leaders and role models for younger generations…a world where all students complete high school ready for higher education, the workforce, and a healthy, prosperous future.

Kevin's first book was True Strength which came out in 2011, and is about:
"On television, as the star of the popular Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Kevin Sorbo portrayed an invincible demigod. He relished living the part—putting in 14-hour days on set, doing his own stunts, and relentlessly working out at the gym. Until one day it all came to an abrupt end.
Now, for the first time, Sorbo shares what viewers didn't know: he suffered three strokes from an aneurysm in his shoulder that had been radiating blood clots throughout his body, likely for months. He was left partially blind and entirely incapacitated at just thirty-eight years old."

Thread: A manual hybrid with decent hp
A manual hybrid with decent hp
I want to switch over to a hybrid vehicle, but I refuse to go back to driving an automatic. I need one with a 5-speed manual transmission.
But the only vehicle I have found so far is the 2005 Civic, which has an embarassingly low level of horsepower (under 100.)
Can anyone help me find a hybrid car that has a manual trasmission and is actually somwehat powerful??? I'm getting frustrated here...
A manual hybrid with decent hp
What are your reasons for not wanting an automatic? I came from a stick and never liked automatics either...
...but full hybrids are very different from conventional vehicles, and the CVTs are able to maximize efficiency better than a manual tranny. Since the vehicle blends power from different sources (gas engine & electric motor(s)), depending upon the amount of torque requested by the driver, traditional mechanical gears don't really work well. They would in fact defeat some of the advantages of a hybrid with CVT, since the CVT can run the gas engine at its most efficient RPMs for the given situation.
Once I got used to the automatic/eCVT, and learned how to drive to maximize its efficiencies, I fell in love with it.
A manual hybrid with decent hp
I agree with Brett. The eCVT used on the Toyota and Ford hybrids is nothing like the automatics in regular cars. You could not duplicate the efficiency of the eCVT with a manual transmission. It is computer controlled to run the gasoline engine at the most efficient point for the driving condition. The eCVT is an essential part of the full hybrid drive train. It is not a luxury feature for people who don't know how to operate a clutch.
Try driving one of the Ford Escape hybrids if you want something of that size. We are very pleased with ours. The actual horse power is about 180 for the combined gasoline/electric but the low speed torque of the electric motor makes it feel like a lot more. It goes great up to about 60MPH but isn't much different than the regular 4 cylinder Escape above that speed.
A manual hybrid with decent hp
The Ford and Toyota hybrids have nothing to "shift," either automatically or manually.
A manual hybrid with decent hp
Lilly, my wife and just returned from a two-week 3,700+ mile trip in her 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid with a 5-speed manual transmission (to be reported on my blog here shortly). Sure, the car slows down on some of the long mountain grades, but so do most of the other vehicles. And the miles-per-gallon of 43.9 isn't bad, considering most of the trip was at the consensus speed of 75-80 MPH. That's not embarrassing at all.
A manual hybrid with decent hp
Why did they stop making the manual hybrids? So, the only one on market is the 2005 Civic?
A manual hybrid with decent hp
Having a manual transmission in a hybrid really doesn't make sense from technical perspective. The reason a pure Internal Combustion Engine (ICE - gasoline or diesel) needs a transmission is because the ICE only performs well over a very small speed range (usually between about 3000 and 5000 RPM's). At slow speeds, however, they are very weak so it would be hard to start up - hence the need to shift the gears.
An electric motor, however, has its maximum torque and horsepower at zero RPM's but the performance remains pretty constant up to the maximum speed. Therefore, since a hybrid uses the electric motor assist for starting up, there is little need for a transmission at all.
If the industry starts producing strong hybrids, where by "strong hybrid", I mean that all the electric motor is strong enough to handle all startup, one will be able to eliminate the transmission altogether.
This is kind of going to upset the large power train division in the car companies, however, so we aren't likely to see the transmission eliminated altogether for a while. The CVT, however, is a 'darling' of transmission engineers so they are happy to put it in the cars while no one is particularly interested in the manual transmission and the demand is rather limited anyway.
We bought the '03 HCH with the manual because I realized it would probably be the last of the breed and my wife insists on driving a manual transmission so I can understand the interest. Now I don't get to drive it very often because she wants it to last forever :-(
A manual hybrid with decent hp
Maybe it's just a duh factor to me, but some people enjoy manuals - they're sooooo much more fun to drive. I don't care about the technically good reasons for hybrids to be automatics or eCVTs over manuals - I'm still interested in the fun factor, and I want that option. I refuse to buy an automatic for my car, so I would want a hybrid with a manual transmission, even if it was a bit less efficient. Consequently, I'm a fan of diesel cars now. Dude, if you don't want the manual civic hybrid (which I wouldn't) go by a VW TDI with a manual. You'll get a whole lot more power than the hybrid, and get great mpg.
A manual hybrid with decent hp
P.S. Lilly - I'm sooo glad to see I'm not the only one that's upset about the lack of manual cars as far as hybrids go.
A manual hybrid with decent hp
More ranting - not everyone needs or can afford a full hybrid - a mild hybrid with a manual that is affordable would be a good thing. That's what the civic hybrid was until Honda messed it up...

"The steering wheel did take 4-5 weeks to have done and be returned but does look very nice. The only complaint that I do have, as many others have expressed, the color chart is very small and somewhat inaccurate. The woodgrain on the wheel does not match the woodgrain in the car. But, again, it does enhance the appearance of the car's interior."

"Excellent "

"I have a 95 XJ6 Jaguar that was in need of a reconditioned steering wheel since the original leather was worn. I chose the Bird-eye wood and they matched the leather as close as they could to the existing leather. It was quite close. Where I made the mistake was with the Birds-eye choice for the wood. I should have gone with the lighter, more yellow wood color. As far as the workmanship, it was excellent. They made an old steering wheel look new. My only suggestion is to make the pictures of the wood choices larger so you really get a good look at the wood, grain etc. The steering wheel looks great, but the wood doesn't come close to matching my original jag wood."
Posted by Joe N.
"What a great looking steering wheel with quality wrapped leather around the bottom and sides. If I changed one thing about it, it would be the color of the paint along the top as it doesn't match any of the interior. I suggest it be a dark gray/charcoal so that it blends with any interior. I have suggested it in one of the Ford blogs as many others have experienced the same deterioration of their steering wheels on trucks less than 3 years old. I would have liked to send in the original to have you wrap it, but the vinyl around the inside of the wheel near the cruise control buttons is also worn and not certain how that would look with the nice leather wrap you do."

Every day, in so many ways, the beauty industry (and the media in general) tell women and girls that being admired, envied and desired based on their looks is a primary function of true womanhood. The beauty template women are expected to follow is extremely narrow, unrealistic and frequently hazardous to their health. The Love Your Body campaign challenges the message that a woman's value is best measured through her willingness and ability to embody current beauty standards.
