"便捷交通之选"由 "Hong Kong" 的 Hao 於 2012年01月07日留下評價
酒店位置离机场非常近,距离迈阿密的海滩也只有半个小时车程。虽然不比出门就是海滩的XX beach hotel, 但是相应的价位也较合理。 酒店房间很干净舒适,设备齐全,一侧房间的景色是高尔夫球场, 很令人满意。 注意酒店停车场每天会收取15美元费用。

"Hidden Gem"
I had a great time staying at this hotel, my room was much better than I expected. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. There were a few issues with the wifi and housekeeping but was quickly addressed. I would definitely stay here again.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Way overpriced"
The hotel is immensely overpriced for what you get in return. The beds are hard (matress on a wooden plate), the cleaning staff is extremely loud: they talk/shout to one another the whole time, not caring about hotel residents who would like some rest at 10 AM. The staff is overall friendly, but they forced us to buy a Vanilla gift card to give a 150 […] dollar deposit for the rooms. The deposit is reimbursed after your stay, but it takes up to 7 days to appear on the gift card again. We were home in Europe after 2 days and guess what: the Vanilla gift card can only be used in the US. They would not accept a cash deposit. For a price over +100 dollar/night (2-person bedroom), this is not worth your money! 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Not bad for last minute!"
Overall nice hotel. Got a great deal last minute that I couldn't beat for its location. Staff was helpful n friendly (Hi Porcha) Walls of hotel are thin so you will hear your neighbors ;-). Love the showers n bathroom with waterfall shower head. Cable in room sucked for when I wanted to watch a sporting event.....would I stay again?....hello yea!Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Nice hotel and location"
An excellent hotel for the money, although there are some hidden fees that are not clearly stated on expedia. Make sure you check those before you purchase the room. The first time we checked-in the person at the front desk was not very welcoming but I want to think it was his bad day. The room was super clean, and there are many up to date fixtures […] in the room.The room service people were very nice.Overall it was worth the money. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Not a wise choice"
I don't know who gave this hotel a 3-star rating because it definitely wasn't one. The bed linens were dirty, the staff semi friendly, the bathroom had only the absolute necessary toiletries, it was smelly and there was enough air blowing out of the vent to cool down an airport terminal (not to mention the noise it would make) and finally, the wifi […] didn't work 90% of the time. Not going back for sure. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

The hotel is nice and not too far from the trade show. It is close to the beach.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
Good location. Decently clean. Very rude, and lazy staff. The maid even yelled at us as if it was our fault that she didnt clean our room for three days. Good location.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Perfect location"

"Great location and price"
Great location and friendly staff! Walking distance for almost everything. No views, small rooms, nice shower, comfy beds, and no elevator for 2nd flr guests, but staff is happy to bring bags up or down. Concierge was friendly and knowledgeable.Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"Overall not satisfied"
The immediate impression of the hotel is that it's very seedy looking (although many of the miami beach hotels give this impression). There is a bar immediately when you walk in. It might be fine if you're there for college spring break, but I was there for a conference. Although clean and with some new fixtures around the room and bathroom, the room […] is overall very small with an old, with a "cheap" feel to it. I ended up switching to a different hotel because 1) the room was too small, 2) the beds were too low -- they're barely more than a mattress on the floor, 3) the mattresses were uncomfortable, 4) the bathroom was too small with a small standing shower (no bathtub), 5) the room was very dark and the lighting very harsh, 6) if you opened the shades to let in more light, you looked out on a parking lot where it was very easy to see right in, 7) the safe was semi-broken (only 5 out of 9 numbers worked), 8) the shower was broken (couldn't switch to the main shower head, was stuck on the handheld head. To the hotel's credit, they were very nice and the manager very accommodating when I wanted to switch. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Clean, but I would not return."
Not a regular bed. A platform bed. I think that should be noted in the description. Light by front door was burnt out, shower knob was broken and we couldn't get the rainfall to go on without extreme effort. VERY dark in the room. Terrible lighting. Not enough hangers. Bathroom is so small there is no room to put any toiletries by the sink, refrigerator […] went on and off so drinks weren't cold. Took too long to get car when we called ahead for the valet. Took about half hour. Slightly noisy because of the wood floor in the hallway. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"Good location but bad hotel"

"A good place to rest your head in South Beach"
This is a nice spot in South Beach for the right people. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. However, the room is bare bones -- basically a bed and a TV. The bathrooms are newly-renovated and the shower is delightful. We moved after one night, because we really wanted something more luxurious (there wasn't even a chair in the room, except […] for a hard desk chair on wheels.) However, a young couple who checked-in after us loved it because they just wanted a place to come back to after spending their time in South Beach. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Great for location, superb for hospitality"
If you are looking for a small, clean, friendly Art Deco hotel one block back from Ocean Drive hotels, paying a fraction of their prices, this is the place for you. We spent two wonderful days at The Clifton Hotel and must say the staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, guiding us to all the best places to see and in which restaurants […] to eat. The Manager in charge, Michelle, was particularly helpful, thanks to her we would certainly go back. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Easy as Sunday morning...."
Easy going staff, but very helpful. No elevators in the 2-story hotel, but they help you with luggage so it's ok. Awsome location!Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Great hotel for young couples"
The room was very quiet & cozy for being on Collins Ave. For the price, I was satisfied with my stay. There were a few issues with the room such as the phone not working and the AC took a big leak in the room after we turned it up, but other than that, it is a great stay for a young couple. I would not recommend staying here if you have problems with […] beds that sit low to the floor, since all the beds do not have frames or a box spring and essentially are a foot off the ground. Additionally, if you have a lot of luggage and/or kids, there isnt an elevator, so you will have to hike up a floor or two. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Quiet and comfy this is the place!!"
Small but very comfy. The staff was very efficient and FAST when I arrived. My room was awesome it was very clean n cozy. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the beach area. The hotel was also a block away from the beach and restaurants as well :)Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Not what we imagined"
Extremely noisy.after reading other reviews we thought we had an idea of what it would be like but you could here people talking normally at the other end of the corridor.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Dirty hotel"
The rooms are nasty. The bedding was dirty and walls of the rooms were unclean. At one point they were switching our bed sheets because of hair, burn holes, and stains. We watched the guy put on 4 different sheets and take them back off before he found one set that was actually useable. He was even shaking his head in disbelief!Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Nice small Art Deco Hotel"
The hotel is a nice small Art Deco Hotel one block from the beach. The Hotel is known for its green initiative. I do recommend getting a room on the second floor, because there is a first floor bar and it can be loud. This didn't really bother me or my mother, and we slept well. There is a resort fee, and for the valet parking; but you can find other […] parking areas. The internet is free which is a nice perk. All in all, it was a nice place to stay for the money. I definitely know that we will come back to this location again. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Comfortable and Accomodating"
I didn't like that there was a $12.50/day resort fee that I wasn't aware of upon arrival. Also, the acoustics weren't that great. I could hear everything in the rooms next to me and in the hallway. On the other hand, the hotel staff was friendly and the hotel was clean. The first room I stayed in had a couple issues, the staff promptly move me to another […] room and made the stay comfortable. The hotel is within 1-2 blocks of the beach. Very close. I would probably stay again. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Its ok"
While I like the idea of a carbon neutral footprint hotel, it wasn't the best experience. The bed is quite uncomfortable, shower pressure was quite nice. The lighting is horrible, very dim no matter the area in the room. Beach towels are provided which is a big plus. BIG downfalls are (1) walls are paper thin. Always heard our neighbors and when the […] bar was open Sat night, heard ALL the music and people til late! (2) there are FEES not paid for thru hotels.com and no it was not because of using the mini bar. According to the bill it was a resort fee + state and local taxes PER day! For 4 days an extra $60. Wasn't expecting it at all. The hotel is ok if you just need a bed but I'm sure there are better places. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"comfort and convenience"
The staff was extremely welcoming and accomodating. They always greeted us with a genuine smile and hello. I would def stay here again and am in fact looking to book another trip in the near future. The location is perfect. 1 block from south beach.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"A little better than expected"
My stay was a little better than expected, mostly because of the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the hotel. I expected a small room, so I wouldn't complain about it, but after living in it for 4 days I would have preferred a slightly larger room. I like the fact that the Clifton is a LEED Gold certified hotel. I am making plans to stay […] here again on my next visit. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Clean, practical and good location but a bit noisy"
In general the hotel is good considering the price of the room wich for southbeach is low. The hotel is a bit noisy, specially if you are in the first floor close to the lobby. I had to catch a flight at 7.00 am, so the night before asked reception to turn off the music from the bar at 1.30 AM and they said the music would be turned off at 4.00 AM. […] A bit contradictory if what you expect in a hotel is to rest. However, above all, the rest of my stay was ok. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Too many hidden charges"
While the room was nice, and the location convenient, I would never recommend this hotel. There were a lot of extra fees that no one told us about until we were checking out. Also, whereost hotels will take your credit card info as a precaution, they put a hold on our card without telling us. Which won't be released until almost 2 weeks after we've […] already checked out. Also, when I asked why we weren't told in advance, they were very rude. Just keep in mind to add about $20 to the nightly rate if you're looking for a deal. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Very pleasant stay one block away from the beach!"
Not a high-end hotel perhaps but definitely decent if you mostly want to be outside and don't plan on spending too much time in your hotel room. Location was great. We were not bothered by noise during our stay. The shower was fantastic. The pool at the sister hotel one block away was just what we needed with our young children, we were the only ones […] in it !!! (perhaps because a block away you are on the beach!). The staff was very nice and helpful. There is a municipal parking garage on the block (1$/hour) that is cheaper than street parking. The hotel provides beach and pool towels. A block away we found a great sandwich place, called "la sandwicherie". Two drawbacks: lighting is poor in the room and we couldn't open windows because the wall from another building was REALLY close, so it makes the room a little grim. Also, the AC was either blasting freezing air, or the room temperature got hot and humid, we never really found something in between. Overall, it was a great experience and we would go again. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"The worst experience I have at a hotel"
I paid for three nights upfront. When I got here they asked for my credit card and charged a big deposit without saying that was what they were going to do. When I said I was not happy they said well it will take ten days to get it back. No apology. Next issue was you pay this type of money and they don't even offer coffee. No breakfast. Then I get […] a blanket out of the cabinet and some used person lubricant falls out of it. So I have no idea if anything has been cleaned! The next morning I am trying to get ready for a convention and my hairdryer is not working. I go to the front desk and tell them, ask for another and the attendant said I don't have one. I also show him the lubricant and he throws it away and doesn't even apologize nor act like there was anything wrong with finding it left in a blanket! I told him I need a hairdryer to get ready and he said "I don't have one, and there is nothing I can do about it". Again no apology. I had to get angry and tell him he needed to contact a sister hotel and get one ASAP. He finally did. When I said I can't believe I have not even received an apology, he said you will have to contact the manager. There is no pool, no coffee, no continental breakfast. Nothing that would give this hotel a reason to ask so much for a night besides being one block from the beach. I will never stay here again and I highly recommend someone look elsewhere to stay. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Clifton hotel, Miami Beach"
The very thin walls were the problem here. The reviews mentioned this, but I chose to ignore them.light conversations and Tv from next door were as if you were in their room. When they moved out, maid didnt turn off their alarm clock so it rang all night.Mini bar was unstocked, and filthy, when I went to store some milk. I was upset to find out on check […] out that I needed tob pay an extra $13 a night for a 'resort fee' even though Hotels .com had it tiny writing way down their page. Very sneaky. Should not be allowed, as I admit I chose it on price above other considerations. Hotel said that was for their facilities, like coffee maker and minibar! Isnt that what the room price covers anyway? Front desk staff didn't let me know I was entitled to use pool or fitness room at the Carlton, so I trailed round trying to find a gym else where. However the main fixed weight equipment was broken anyway. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Good vibes and good price"
Clifton is good for young people trying to stay in a good area at a reasonable price. 13th and Collins is an amazing location next to all the bars/clubs/strip clubs/hot beach scene. If you are old farts looking for a relaxing luxurious vacation, the Clifton is not for you. If you are a young party-er who intends to spend more on alcohol then on his […] hotel room then this place is perfect. Cheap enough to afford but nice enough to bring back a lady from the club. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"No business deal"
The hotel is recently renovated. The rooms are the size of large closets. My view was onto an alley. The desk was 18" wide, the "chair" a stool--no back. The Wi-Fi did not work in the room-- a dead spot in the hotel. I was there on a business trip--a disaster to work in the room. If you are going to the beach all day, perhaps it is fine.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"My brother and I and our families loved it!!!"
Just got back from a weekend at Clifton. We went with another family. All three rooms were amazing. Very nicely appointed, clean, modern and each had a huge wall mounted TV in each. Bathrooms were very modern, clean and nice. They have this eco-friendly thing going on there...actually kinda nice...ie soaps and stuff that are environmentally friendly. […] Internet was available throughout property...wired and wireless. Its sort of free...ie its included in this surcharge on all rooms. ( Think 12.50 daily) Staff was very friendly. The alarm clock radios in the room have an ipod dock. Each room had a small fridge you can use. Hotel is much better than we expected. Very good value for money. Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Property is centrally located (ie very close to all the South Beach action) and is a block from the beach. There is no pool right on the property. They share with a sister property a couple blocks away. We didnt see the pool since we went to the beach everyday. It was a great experience and recommend it to all. Definitely will go back there next time in South Beach. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Resort Fees"
After you arrive at this hotel they require you to pay more. The require you to pay a non-optional resort fee. Therefore, the price on this website is a lie.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
I wish they would have at least had ESPN but it wasn't that big of a deal.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"not a bad deal if you don't expect too much and are not staying for long"
The hotel is in a good location and has decent service if you don't want to stay at the pricier and more posh hotels. Staff was very friendly, the guy at the front quickly checked us in after short paperwork and explained that the extra resort fee is unfortunately mandatory..Bellhop took all the luggage upstairs and introduced us to the room. Which […] is pretty compact, but as you know, if you go for a weekend you won't spend much time in your room. The room was clean and the beds felt comfortable enough, but after the second night I did encountered an unusual backache. I see some efforts to show that this is a eco-hotel, but maybe it was more so in the construction or converting it to green than it's operation. But I guess having the rooms really small helps. The showerhead is a great feature, although it's likely you'll use a lot of water after a long night. AC works well, the walls were thin, but not so bad as to be annoying and everyone in my room got sound sleep. Lobby is small and basically features a small bar that you can pre-party at and many people were there right before a huge limo took the group to the clubs. I definitely recommend for 2 or 3 nights if you get a decent deal, recommend for friends and couples, not much for families or seniors unless it's off-season. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

Last week I posted some holiday pictures that I found inspiring and creative. I really liked this picture and thought I might try to recreate something like it for my coffee table.
Here is my version of the Christmas candle/cake platter.
First, here is a picture of the coffee table before my little decorating experiment.
And here are some pictures of the newly decorated coffee table.
I used a Mikasa cake stand, some old plain glass tea light candle holders, some red glass votives and some Noel candles that I bought on sale last year from Crabtree and Evelyn.
I am so happy with my Christmas candle/cake platter! I wonder what I can do next week....
Thank you so much for coming to spend time with me today. I hope you will be back again soon!
Best wishes,
Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart. Washington Irving

Best of the Modern Wing
Here's why we love the new addition to the Art Institute.
Renzo Piano designed it. When the Art Institute tapped the Pritzker Prize–winning Italian architect to design the Modern Wing in 1999, Piano had only a couple of finished museums on his résumé. (It helped that one of them was Paris's Centre Georges Pompidou.) During the past decade, however, he's completed elegant additions to Atlanta's High Museum and New York's Morgan Library & Museum. The New York Times' architecture critic calls Piano's 2008 California Academy of Sciences "a reaffirmation that human history is an upward spiral rather than a descent into darkness." The light-filled Modern Wing should keep Chicago's architectural cachet from disappearing into the Spire's black hole.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sadie kept her jet-black eyes completely focused on the prize. No, not the prospect of winning America's top dog show. She wanted whatever treat handler Gabriel Rangel was teasing in his mouth.
Moments later, Sadie was on her way at Westminster. The monster favorite breezed past four would-be rivals Tuesday afternoon and walked off as the best Scottish terrier at Madison Square Garden.
If the early win was a lock, it was hard to tell by watching Rangel.
He hid Sadie behind a black curtain before entering the ring, away from photographers eager to snap her picture and shielded from curious fans who might accidentally step on her paws. Two assistants hovered over Sadie, brushing her coat to assure a perfect appearance.
Rangel constantly wiped his brow while waiting to be judged. After the win, he grabbed a napkin from a concession stand to towel off.
"Expectations? Never expectations," Rangel said. "If you think that way, you get nervous and in trouble."
Judge Elliott Weiss was set to make his pick as best in show shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday. He's already seen Sadie — he chose her as the winner of an event in North Carolina last September.
The terrier, sporting and working were to be decided shortly before Weiss stepped into the ring. Among the top contenders was a precious golden retriever named Treasure. Always a popular breed in this country, a golden has never won Westminster.
Four dogs secured their spots Monday night — a whippet called Chanel who can run 35 mph, a fancy toy white poodle named Walker, a French bulldog that became the first of its breed to win Westminster and a puli that's been the best herding dog for two straight years.
The 134th Westminster Kennel Club event drew 2,500 dogs from 173 breeds and varieties and is regarded as the nation's most prestigious show.
Sadie has already won the two other big U.S. canine competitions, the National Dog Show in suburban Philadelphia before Thanksgiving and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in December.
The 4-year-old Scottie with the champion's name Roundtown Mercedes of Maryscot has earned 111 best in show ribbons and was poised to become dogdom's first Triple Crown winner. Rangel said he'd eased off Sadie's schedule as the trip to New York approached.
"She's taking a little rest. Maybe too long," Rangel said. "She wanted to get in there today. She was full of herself."
Then again, maybe Sadie had a reason for being in a hurry.
"She likes to watch TV," he said. "We have dinner together at the hotel and watch Animal Planet."

In the past, Patagonia's Capilene base layers have proven themselves worthy time and again. That being said, when I was given the opportunity to try out this year's edition, I jumped on it.
I set off on the Appalachian Trail with the Capilene 3, an updated version of the previous top I've used in the past. At first glance, I noticed the cut of the garment was much different. The torso was slightly shorter and the newly lowered sleeves were much roomier. For my purposes, this was a blessing because I was going to be wearing it as a standalone piece. These changes made it wear more like a normal long sleeve T-shirt. But for those of you that may want to wear this under a mid layer, these characteristics make it a more difficult.

Victoria Azarenka once revealed that it had it not been for being sent out of her homeland at an early age to a strange country where she knew almost no-one, that she might not have developed a hard outer shell and have become a more trusting and accessible person.
But that was not the Belarusian's fate. Her parents believed that she could never develop properly as a tennis player, so they sent her to the state of Arizona in the United States, where she lived with the family of ice hockey player Nikolai Khabibulin and rapidly developed her game under the eyes of coach Antonio Van Grichen of Portugal.
But what she did not develop was a keen sense of the world around her and how her actions might affect others – off court and on. Attention was paid to her and her alone, and not surprisingly, without a strong authority figure around telling her that other people's feelings and careers were just as important as hers, she developed a reputation amongst some as being an occasionally selfish and fragile person.
Up until mid-2010, she had turned off the international tennis media to the point where she was rarely requested for interviews – even in the second weeks of Grand Slams when most players are sought after. Even after victories she could be sullen, give one-word answers, never make eye contact and take even the most innocent queries as an affront.
But then she decided to come out of her shell and show the world at least a portion of who she is – a tough, non-nonsense person with a normal amount of insecurities.
"I actually regret that stuff a lot because I could have turned around a few things and people getting to know me better, not starting now, and that would have been more in my favour," she told me back in the mid summer of 2011.
"The Belarusians have a different mentality. We are Eastern Europeans, it was part of the USSR and we were closed and didn't have that openness. You learn, and when you start to understand it, it's actually exciting."
Like many other elite players before her, there was a time when she was purely combative in the face of controversy. Former No 1s such as Ilie Nastase, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Jennifer Capriati and Serena Williams have battled back when one or more of their actions were called into question.
Azarenka has too, but on Thursday after a medical timeout she took up 5-4 in the second set against Sloane Stephens was called into question and she was accused by some analysts of gamesmanship, she stood up and answered every question that was fired at her without the hint of a sneer.
She said that she would never cheat Stephens, whom she has known since the 19-year-old was "a little kid." She admitted that she should have taken the medical timeout two games earlier and added that it was 'her bad'. She said that the choking or panic that she discussed on court immediately after the match was the result of not knowing why she couldn't breathe due to a rib injury.
She did not, as the usually cooperative yet controlling Maria Sharapova once did at a Grand Slam, try to shut down a line of questioning about alleged on-court coaching the minute she got to the podium, or as Jennifer Capriati once did, hold a public press conference to read a letter about her past transgressions so that she would never have to answer questions about it again.
She met with the press on Thursday, and once again on Friday, and whether you believe her explanation or not, at the very least she put herself out there and answered everything single query.
"I'm being really honest here, what I'm talking about, she said. "So I'm just glad that I'm here to make everything clear."
But it's not just the media that have had problems with her. Early on in her career, she developed a reputation for calling the trainer too much and retiring too frequently.
Back in 2009 at the Beijing tournament during a three-set victory for Sharapova, the Russian thought that Azarenka was faking an injury during a medical timeout and loudly asked the umpire: "is her last name Jankovic?", referring to her junior rival who has reputation for excessively using medical timeouts.
According to now coach Sam Sumyk, that chatter around the locker room hurt Azarenka more than anything, so she vowed not to call for the trainer unless she felt it was nearly a life or death situation.
But despite her efforts, she has had a hard time keeping herself out of hot water. A few weeks after she won the 2012 Australian Open, she was facing Agnieszka Radwanska in the Doha semis, whom she knows pretty well as they are around the same age of 23, and both at the time had Caroline Wozniacki as one of their best friends.
Radwanska thought that Azarenka was faking injuries and didn't need to given the high level that she was playing at. Azarenka went on to win the tournament.
Radwanska said she surprised at what Azarenka did and was a little disappointed.
"Maybe she won the match or the tournament, but she lost a lot of respect because I don't think those kind of behaviour is a good image for women's tennis," Radwanska said. "
Just like she did on Thursday in her Australian Open semifinal victory over Stephens, Azarenka denied that she was employing gamesmanship and said that she still considered herself to be on friendly terms with Radwanska.
"For me is not about having friends, it's about being civilised and a good person. It's a matter of being respectful," Azarenka once said.
What Azarenka now has in common with the likes of McEnroe, Connors, Capriati and Serena is she that speaks her mind. It's extremely rare to hear a player admit to choking right after a match on court in front of thousands of fans, but that's what she did against Stephens.
"For me it's important to feel myself," she said. "The main key is I never lie to myself. If I feel nervous, I'll say I feel nervous. If I feel relaxed, I'll say I feel relaxed. So I feel this is important to be honest with you yourself and never be afraid of your feelings."
Last summer at Wimbledon, she showed just how unafraid she was to let her feelings be known in public. The WTA had come to an agreement with the Grand Slams and the ITF to try and tone down on-court grunting. She's considered to be one of the WTA's loudest grunters, but had declined to discuss the issue. When approached and told what the tour's plans were, she sharply responded: "Tell them, good luck with that."
What all the aforementioned No. 1s were been able to do, and what Azarenka has yet to show she can also do, is to have consistent Grand Slam success under fire. McEnroe yelled and screamed his way to seven Grand Slam singles titles. Connors cursed his way to eight. Serena, who has been on a charm offensive for a year and a half now, has 15. Capriati, who never cared about being charming but did like to be liked, collected three.
Azarenka has one Slam title, and will go into Saturday night's final against Li Na as the favourite as she has beaten her the last four times they have faced off. She also admitted she needed to calm down and relieve herself of the stress that Thursday's controversy caused.
Her support team is doing everything it can to get her into a positive headspace. That team includes: her coach Sumyk; his wife, the former player Melien Tu, who is also her manager; her agent, John Tobias; her newly-hired press officer Benito Perez-Bardillo (who also works for Rafael Nadal) and yes, her now good 'friend' the pop singer RedFoo, who is on site.
Win or lose the final, Azarenka has pledged to be herself. Like her on-court behaviour or not, she will continue to put herself out there.
"You don't want to be fake," she's said.
"There are a lot of players who are made up and they have this image they have to follow. For me, I think, 'Screw that,' I am who I am'."

Random Videos of Horrific Violence: Be Careful Out There Sledders
Its winter time and there's snow on the ground, which means that its time for the time honored tradition of sledding down hills in wooden or plastic sleds by people who have no business doing so…and thus sledding accidents. I've been searchin the interwebs (or just Break.com) for a few good ones and I couldnt decide which one i liked, so I'm sticking them all up there. To save front page space, i'm just going to stick the rest after the jump. If you are bored and need to get some joy out of the physical pain of others…well enjoy…sickos.

The GMC Sierra truck clipped the hydrant near the driveway of the home, shearing the hydrant's head off. A geyser of water shot into the air, flooding a portion of the street.
Tracy police and fire crews blocked the street while a fire crewman shut the water valve, stanching the flow.
No one was injured, and the Public Works Department was called to repair the hydrant.

Lexmark unveiled a family of what it calls "smart" multifunction printers that will help partners broaden their managed print services portfolios and reel in new sources of revenue.
Lexmark's lineup now includes 18 new MFPs, including the CX510 color laser and MX611 monochrome laser, which provide embedded solutions for content and document workflow management. These applications are accessed through the MFPs' new touch-enabled screens and, according to Lexmark, boost enterprise productivity by automating workflow and approval processes, rather than having to perform them manually.
These solutions-enabled MFPs range in price from $599 to $5,499.
[Related: How The BYOD Phenomenon Is Shaping The Next Era In Managed Print Services]
Smart MFPs will drive growth for Lexmark partners because they essentially serve as two products in one, explained Sean Endicott, manager of channel business development at Lexmark, Lexington, Ky. Not only are they multifunction printers, but they are platforms that streamline workflow automation and other, often tedious tasks, such as invoice processing or contracts management. This two-in-one package allows solution providers to differentiate themselves from competitors and deliver greater value to their customers, Endicott told CRN.
"You're enabled to protect your margins because, again, you are not just selling a piece of hardware at a lower price point. You are solving a problem, and customers are typically willing to pay for something that really solves a problem for them," he said.
What's more, solution providers in the managed print services (MPS) space stand to gain by wrapping configuration, installation and training services around Lexmark's new smart MFPs. They also can take advantage of offering a totally new breed of MFPs, especially as customers seek out more sophisticated print environments.
"Once you're involved in [MPS] and you are reasonably proficient, you are going to need to find more for the customer," Endicott said. "You are helping them print more effectively and you're controlling those costs, but customers are going to be [asking], 'What's that next piece of value that you are bringing to me?' "
Lexmark partners selling the company's ImageNow solution for secured document storage also can bundle this software with the smart MFPs for more margin growth, said Endicott.

Kerry acknowledged the need to change the military "imbalance" on the ground in order to change al-Assad's "calculus."
"Right now, President Assad is receiving help from the Iranians, he's receiving help from al Qaeda-related, some elements, he's receiving help from Hezbollah, and obviously some help is coming in through the Russians," Kerry said. "If he believes he can shoot it out, Syrians and the region have a problem and the world has a problem."
Members of the rebel Free Syrian Army have said they've received shipments from some countries and seized and purchased weapons from government troops. But al-Assad's forces have heavy weaponry and warplanes.
Last week, the French foreign minister said he wanted to lift a European Union arms embargo and start arming rebels.
"We must go ahead and allow the Syrian people to defend themselves against this bloodthirsty regime. It's our responsibility to help the (opposition) Syrian National Coalition, its leaders and the Free Syrian Army by all the possible means," Laurent Fabius wrote in an op-ed for the French newspaper Liberation.
"If not, the slaughter will continue, and there will not be any other possible outcome but to strengthen the most extreme groups and the collapse of Syria with devastating consequences for the country itself and the region."
In February, the European Union renewed its arms embargo on Syria for three months -- but amended it to allow greater nonlethal support and technical assistance to help protect civilians.
The latest EU arms embargo is set to expire in May. Member countries could renew it, add amendments or veto it.
A new opposition leader
A Syrian opposition alliance elected Ghassan Hitto, an information technology executive and U.S.-educated Kurdish businessman, to lead its provisional government.
The National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces made the announcement Tuesday.
The contingent government's formation should assuage concerns from the West -- particularly the United States -- about who would lead Syria should al-Assad be deposed, the Syrian American Council said.
"This question has now been answered," the group said.
For two years, the lack of a clear alternative to al-Assad's government has hampered the opposition's efforts in gaining more international support. Some say the absence of an alternative leader has helped prolong the bloodshed.
It didn't take long for Hitto to declare what many in the opposition have said: "There will be no dialogue with the Assad regime."

Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) _ Actress Tempestt Bledsoe says she's thrilled to be returning to network television on a show that portrays ``a positive black family'' similar to the long-running hit sitcom she was a part of for roughly eight years _ ``The Cosby Show.''
``That show was my childhood,'' said Bledsoe, who played middle child Vanessa in the show that also starred Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Lisa Bonet and Keshia Knight Pulliam. ``It did so many things. It greatly influenced the kinds of projects I did. It helped form my core values, like my work ethic.''
Bledsoe and actor Anthony Anderson spoke about a new show they're starring in, ``Guys with Kids,'' which premieres this fall on NBC.
In an interview after their public appearance, the co-stars told The Associated Press they were thrilled the show will spotlight a ``positive black family on network television.''
``We just don't have that right now, not on network television,'' said Anderson, who has two children of his own. ``Like the Cosby Show, this will be an opportunity to see the love, support, humor and beauty of a black family on TV.''
The show, produced by Jimmy Fallon, is about three 30-something new dads trying to hold on to their youth. ``Guys With Kids'' will also star Jamie-Lynn Sigler of ``The Sopranos'' and actors Zach Cregger and Jesse Bradford. One of the characters is a single dad, another is a working father and Anderson's character is a stay-at-home dad raising four young sons.
Bledsoe, who plays Anderson's working wife, chuckled as she spoke about his character's daily challenges wrangling the children, including a set of twins under the age of two.
``There's nothing funnier,'' Bledsoe said. ``This role was tailor-made for Anthony.''
Anderson said he was drawn to the role for several reasons, including his strong feelings about the importance of having a father figure and the fact his character ``chooses'' to stay at home with his children rather than being forced to do so because he lost his job.
He said he also recognized that in these tough economic times that more dads are choosing to stay home in part because of child care costs.
``A lot of them get funny looks because it's not what people are used to seeing, and this show reflects this new dynamic in the American family,'' he said.

Rosebud Prime
Online Reservations
Outdoor is large and very nice, but street noise can be a problem.. Outdoor is probably better for drinks and appetizers with friends. Indoors is much quieter. Service was outstanding.
I was meeting a colleague for lunch and we sat outside. An unexpected rain shower interrupted our lunch. The staff did a great job of moving everyone inside ans seamlessly continued our service. The manager comped our meal for the inconvenience. Very thoughtful plus great food.
On family vacation and out for special dinner. Boys 5,9,11 had a memorable experience. Servers took special care of boys. Comped dessert and made is feel special. Highly recommend !
Had dinner here before Book of Mormon. With 5:30 reservations we made it just in time for the 7:30 show by skipping dessert, not that we had room. Would probably reserve at 5 or 5:15 next time to avoid being rushed. The brick chicken & bone-in ribeye with bone marrow butter were both fantastic. Au gratin potatoes were very good (our favorite, Capital Grille still beats all others, but Rosebud Prime's potatoes are a not too distant 2nd). Skip the chopped salad & go for a standard or wedge instead. Staff were all very friendly & our server/sommelier Eric provided excellent service & really knows his stuff.
Although, the Hostess recommended we eat inside due to the impending rain, we preferred to chance it with four young children in the patio atmosphere. Even when it DID start pouring, our waiter remained gracious and accomodating. The side dish of mac & cheese that a 9 yr.old had for an entree was rich, creamy and more than he could eat. The hamburgers were juicy and nicely presented. The buttermilk fried chicken was outstanding and HOT. The mashed potatoes & gravy, super good! When we went to pay the bill, my husband discovered he had not brought his wallet! The staff was gracious and undertsanding, taking our identification info and believing our promise to return the next day, allowed us to get to the performance on time.
Came to this location because of its close proximity to Bank of America Theater. Food was excellent. Though our server seemed distracted at times, the manager stepped up and made up for anything lacking.
This was our second trip to Rosebud. This time, the entire family attended. One of the staff actually remembered the steak my wife ordered about three months ago! It was a great experience both times. This will be a must stop for all of us from now on! W also invited family friends who enjoyed everything about Rosebud.
Steaks done as requested. Excellent soup and salad. Excellent meat. Creamed spinach side had bacon,which was not expected, and ruined the dish. AuGratin potatoes very good.
We had an amazing dinner here with our friends! Great food, service, and ambiance. This is our favorite place to dine at before seeing a show. We will certainly be back!
We had a beautiful outdoor table, very polite waiters (who could possibly have been a tiny bit more attentive, but it was late, so I don't blame them), and our food was wonderful except for the corn which had a burnt taste, and they quickly took off our table, and our bill. As a wonderful surprise, they brought us a trio of Creme brûlée as an anniversary treat. It was such a nice surprise. The steak was melt in your mouth good, too. We would highly recommend it for the fantastic food and the very nice staff. We'll go back for sure.
Inside decor is dark wood paneled and mirrored walls create illusion of being much larger. After a slow service start our waiter was very attendant. Spent a bit more than expected mostly due to the pricey wine and alcohol. Food prepared and presented well, excellent deserts two of which could be easily shared. Recommended if you are willing to spend over $100 per person.
I have tried a lot of over-hyped and overpriced steakhouses over the years, but this was thoroughly enjoyable and worth every penny. Terrific food, excellent presentation, not pretentious. Very nice atmosphere. Most of the crowd on a Saturday is in the 8:00 curtain call rush, so we entered a packed restaurant and left an empty one. The main courses were excellent....very tender beef, cooked perfectly for rare. Very nice corn chowder for an appetizer, and excellent oysters. Parking can be an issue since they don't have a valet, but there are garages in the neighborhood. Overall, an excellent experience.
Great place for dinner before a show. Bank of America right around the corner. Staff very accommodating and fast. Would go back.
Stacks up well with the rest of the Rosebud restaurant lineup. High quality food and service.
We ate dinner prior to going to the theatre. The staff timed our food to allow us the appropriate amount of time to make an 8pm show. Our waiters knowledge on everything from the wine list to the entree selections and side dishes was incredible. And the food was absolutely wonderful, 5 of us agreed we had never had a better steak. We dined outside on the patio and it was a great atmosphere, perfect for the city!
Huge portions, well prepared, 5 star steaks/chops!
We had a server (Dio) who went out of his way to make us fee great....
We were celebrating my wife's 30th birthday. We were sat immediately since we had a reservation. Chris, our server, was awesome, he was honest and personable and not in a fake "I am nice because I have to be" way. You don't get that as often as you would think. Everyone had something different and we were passing everything around. Sides were amazing. For me it was a tie between the Ahi Tuna and the 12oz Filet. I have never eaten a 12oz in my life and I completely devoured it, having only shared two bites. It was that delicious. The deserts were great and we sang. My wife is still talking about the steak a week later. We will definitely be going back.
Food good. Best wedge salad going. Waiter Chris very engaging and not over the top.
First time here. We had fillets which were delicious and the sides, yummy. Wine was a little pricey, wish the waiter recommended a bottle instead of us buying individually.
Choosing a steak house in Chicago can be daunting with so many options. I was looking for someplace close to my hotel and settled on Rosebud Prime. I was more than satisfied with my choice. The food was terrific and the service was better. We had a late-arriving member of our party (due to flight delays) and they couldn't have been more understanding and helpful -- even looking up the traffic from the airport to the restaurant to help guess the arrival time of the taxi. Again, I expected it to be quite good and it was better than expectations.
Good spot for a business lunch. Tables were spaced to where you could have a good conversation and not worry about others hearing you. Chris, our waiter was great. Food was exceptional!
I went for the first time and would go back again! Everything from the service to the food (my petite fillet was cooked perfectly) to the ambience was wonderful - Hector our server was great! We told him we had a play to go see having only so much time for dinner and he had it under control no problem.
Three of us went for steak, I have been only twice before and had been happy with it. We were not disappointed and the food was excellent and the service more than adequate. In addition a lively jazz trio in the corner of the room added to the clubby insider feel of this place. Of all the major players in the steak restaurant business near downtown Rosebud Prime delivers a better bang for your bucks and terrific quality and taste - their are at least 6 or 7 others that come to mind but meat and preparation can't be better than this place in spite of much higher prices elsewhere.
Dined at Rosebud Prime after Book of Mormon. This was our first time and everything was wonderful!
I had the New York Strip (medium well, still nice and juicy), paired it with mushrooms and steamed broccoli. Very tasty. I would go here again. Intended to sit outside, tried it for a little while, but no patio heaters. The outdoor waiter helped us move inside.
Favorites were the crab cakes and bone-in filet with bleu cheese and Silver Oak cabernet.
This was my first visit to Rosebud. I actually picked the location because it was close to the office and my boss was pressed for time. I reserved an early time slot (11:30am) this is recommended because shortly after we were seated the outside, main level, and 2nd level filled up quickly. We were seated promptly. Service was top notch, our glasses stayed full of water and beverages and the food which was served promptly was delicious. I'm a fish lover and recommend the whitefish which was reasonbly priced for a fine dining restaurant. I will select this location again for future business and personal meetings.
I hate the Rosebud Italian restaurants. Heavy red sauces. No sophistication. I love Rosebud Prime. I consistently have the tuna for lunch (and dinner). Great outdoor seating (in the heart of the loop?), drinks, red meat. Perfect before theatre. Don't tell, its my secret gem!~
Everything was excellent, the service, the food, the wine list.
Food was goood and service was fast. We made it to the theater with time to spare.
We had a post race Sunday night dinner and the experience was great. We were feeling a bit beat up but choosing this place helped to feel better. The food was very good but most of all we had great service from everyone at the restaurant.
We had a reservation for a least a month- four of us (all women); going before play hostesses lead us to the least desirable table in the restaurant in spite of the early hour and relative emptiness of the dining room However, changed us immediately when I complained On the other hand- Food good- great; loved the veggies waiters attentive- and brought me a complimentary b'day dessert with a flourish enjoyed the evening and will definitely return as will adult children who had never been there
We had an early dinner reservation on a Monday night -- and the restaurant was nearly empty. The waiter asked if we were going to the theatre (we were going to the Lyric) and our drinks, salads, entrees and dessert were served in 40 min. which seemed a bit rushed. But I guess better than the other way around. The steaks were tremendous and side dishes huge, as he warned.
We stopped in to Rosebud Prime for dinner before seeing Once. Our reservation and table were held perfectly, and we got seated right away. The service was excellent. The food? It was good, but it wasn't quite as good as I expected. My husband had the soup of the day, bone in filet, and merlot. I had the house salad, bone in filet, and pinot noir. We shared the bacon cheddar mashed potoatoes and the garlic broccoli. The soup, salad, wine, and potatoes were all very good. The steaks? Good quality meat, but not seasoned well. I sprang for the brandy peppercorn sauce and it was bland. All in all, just kind of a bland meal. The broccoli wasn't very garlicky or seasoned, either. It tasted like streamed broccoli.
The food and service is very good, however, since we did have a reservation, I expected a better table. They sat us next to, and touching the band that was playing. The drums were hitting my seat!! We asked to be moved but they only moved us across from the band. There were quite few empty tables in the next room and upstairs but we were told they were all reserved. We were only going to be there for an hour since we had opera tickets. We made the best of it but it wasn't our best experience there.
Great food, wine and service for a small group of foreign visitors!
The cheeseburger sliders, cheeseburger, and filet mingon is outstanding.
Chicago is known for it's great steakhouses, and Rosebud is one of them. The service was superb, the food was just outstanding. Ordered the Porterhouse, cooked to perfection. I doesn't get any better than this!
We were very happy with our dining experience. Our server Janna was very attentive but not overbearing.
I had never really heard of Rosebud Prime but found it when we were looking for a place to have dinner before the theater. We were genuinely surprised. We did get a table up stairs where it was a little bit quieter. The music was a very nice surprise and definitely added to the experience. The food was very good...best steak my guest had in a very long time. So, bottom line, we will return.
We stopped in this restaurant for a drink late on Friday night, and enjoyed the staff and the music so much we returned for dinner Saturday night. We were not disappointed! The service was personalized and outstanding, and the food was outstanding as well. We were visiting Chicago from Fort Worth, and the steaks at Rosebud prime were right up there with any we have had in either city. We will return!
As always, the food is fantastic. Great service and atmosphere. A must for me whenever I'm in chicago.
We had a wonderful time. Great dinner, very nice waitress (very knowledgable) Deserts were out of this world. Thank you for a great experience
Steaks were perfect... there are many great steak places in Chicago, and Rosebud Prime ranks right up at the top. Good selections of cuts, variety of toppings and sides, and strong wine list.
LIke Rosebud's Italian expertise, Prime is the tradition of the Chicago Chop House. Attentive service and solid corn fed Prime Beef. Classic chop house.
Good ambient with an excellent jazz band, the staff is professional, friendly and good advise. I recommend this restaurant.
Menu primarily steak-oriented but nice selection of fresh seafood and one chicken dish. Wonderful service, very nice atmosphere and beautifully laid out restaurant. Highly recommend.
We were on a timeline to get to the theater and the staff made it happen - they were very accommodating without impacting the pleasure of the food/dining.
Great steaks!!!! Highly recommend to any steak lover.

You don't actually have to hold a whole sustained note for it to "count" towards your next multiplier.
If I've got a track that's just a series of long sustained notes next to a track with more dense notes (i.e. a keyboard track with just long sustains next to a chatty vocal track), I'll mainly stay on the vocal track, occasionally popping over to the keys track to hit the initial note in a sustain.

The United States announced new sanctions Friday against Syria and its supporters, focusing on Hezbollah's support for the regime and a Syrian oil company for violating U.S. sanctions on Iran.
The U.S. State Department sanctioned the refiner Sytrol for selling $36 million of gasoline to Iran in April.
Earlier Friday, the U.S. Treasury Department announced an extension of sanctions against Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based Shiite militant group, for its support of the Syrian government.
Hezbollah, which the United States has designated a terrorist organization supported by Iran, has provided training, advice and extensive logistical support to President Bashar al-Assad's military campaign against an uprising that began in March 2011, the department said.
The agency accused the group of training Syrian government personnel inside Syria, and facilitating the training of Syrian forces by the Quds Force, an elite unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.
"Hezbollah's extensive support to the Syrian government's violent suppression of the Syrian people exposes the true nature of this terrorist organization and its destabilizing presence in the region," Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David S. Cohen said in a statement.
Friday's announcements came as fighting for control of Aleppo continued.
Also Friday, Great Britain announced $7.8 million more aid for the Syrian rebels.
The money is intended not for weapons, but for medical and communication supplies, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said.
"The people of Syria cannot wait indefinitely," he said.
Hague's announcement came as shelling and clashes continued throughout Syria.
Syrian security forces killed at least 180 people, including 75 in Aleppo, said the Local Coordination Committees (LCC) of Syria, a network of opposition activists.
On Thursday, the opposition group said at least 134 people were killed.
Syrian rebels arrested a number of pro-regime journalists while they were covering military operations in al-Tal, a suburb of Damascus, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Syrian state TV reported that a crew from Al-Ikhbariya TV, which is pro-regime, had lost communication with their office and that "armed groups and countries that are supporting them" are to be held responsible.
Residents reported intense shelling Friday in a village in Hama, as well as in two neighborhoods in Homs, the LCC reported.
An activist from the Al Midan neighborhood of Damascus told CNN that tanks were in the streets and smoke was billowing in the capital. Troops, he said, were raiding homes and arresting people.
"The situation is terrible," said the activist, who was not identified because of security reasons.
Witnesses also reported shelling in Aleppo, Syria's largest city, the LCC said.
Syrian armed forces were inflicting "heavy losses" on rebels in the neighborhoods of Al-Ithaa and Saif Al-Dawla, Syrian state TV said Friday.
The Syrian government and rebel groups have been battling for days to control Aleppo, a key front in a conflict that morphed into a civil war after government forces began cracking down on peaceful protesters in March 2011.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said Friday that its first convoy in two weeks had entered the city a day ealier and was delivering humanitarian aid.
"Our priority has been getting them food, clean water, mattresses, things people take for granted," said Rabab Al-Rifaï, head of communication for ICRC Damascus.
"Though the ICRC and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent are doing everything possible to assist civilians affected by the violence, it is up to the parties to the conflict to take every feasible measure to spare the civilian population the effects of the fighting," said Marianne Gasser, the head of the ICRC delegation in Syria.
The Syrian Arab Red Crescent had suspended most of its activities due to the danger, she said. "Still, dozens of volunteers have continued to work under extremely difficult conditions to meet the growing needs of the civilian population."

BY LIZA STROUT - Wider shoulders should lead to less controversy between vehicles and bicycles once the Boca Grande Causeway replacement bridge project is complete. At least that's what the board is hoping, considering bicycle traffic has skyrocketed within the last few weeks.
After several near misses on the narrow road, the subject of bicycling groups and bicyclist safety came up at a special board meeting of the Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority on Tuesday, March 20. The new Pioneer Trail has led to a great increase in the number of people crossing the bridges by bike since it opened, and another bicycle trail on Placida Road beginning in Rotonda is also in the works.
In the last month, approximately 190 bicyclists have paid to cross the bridge, more than double the usual number. The original plan for the new causeway included a four-foot shoulder on the road between the bridges for road sharing.
This feature was removed as a $350,000 cost saving measure, though the wider shoulders are still part of the plans for the bridges themselves. The plan at the time was to add the cost into the price of the swing bridge construction.
With an increase in "near misses" involving bicyclists, GIBA's Executive Director Jim Cooper and Chairman David Hayes are meeting with Charlotte County Commissioners to seek support for state funds to pay to have the "Share the Road" shoulders put back into the fixed bridge plan.
The state Metropolitan Planning Organization, which was part of the process for the no-interest $1.5 million loan that the Authority received last year, controls the funds that the bridge board is seeking. Charlotte County is a member of the MPO, and two Charlotte County Commissioners are on the board of the MPO.
According to Cooper, "The meetings that we had Wednesday (March 28) were very positive. The commissioners were quick to point out that these are troubled times, and we explained that we weren't looking for money from them, but for support for our application to the MPO." Cooper and Hayes intend to return to the Charlotte County offices on Monday, April 2 to meet with more commissioners.
Cooper is positive about the possibility of a grant.
"When we started out, we didn't count on the MPO money at all, so anything they approve is a step in the right direction for us," he said.

The presentation will be in room 2-233 at the Carlson School.
As service becomes an ever larger part of every developed economy, service productivity is increasingly the focus of attention. To increase service productivity, many companies utilize automation more extensively, to reduce the use of labor. The variability of service, however, means that decisions about service productivity must take not just efficiency but also effectiveness into account. Greater labor intensiveness all other things being equal, usually results in higher service quality. This implies, and research confirms, a tradeoff between service productivity (efficiency) and service quality effectiveness).
Based on this tradeoff, we propose service productivity as a strategic decision variable--that is, the company manages the service productivity level to maximize profits. We develop a theory of the optimal service productivity level that explains when higher or lower service productivity will be profitable, and distinguishes between short-term effects of service productivity, due to labor-automation tradeoffs, and long-term effects, due to the advance of technology. The theory results in testable empirical propositions, which are confirmed using data from more than 700 service companies in two time periods.
The research shows that service productivity should be higher when 1) profit margin is lower, 2) price is lower, 3) the market is more concentrated, 4) wages are higher, and 5) factors other than service quality have a larger impact on sales. Our empirical results also provide preliminary evidence that large service companies may tend to be too productive, relative to the optimal level, and if so, should place less emphasis (in the short run) on cost reduction through automation and more emphasis on service quality.

Morning Glory Featurette
When hard–working TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams) is fired from a local news program, her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at "Daybreak" (the last–place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Ford). Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts — let alone work with his new co–host, Colleen Peck (Keaton), a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning "news." As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky's blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Wilson) begins to unravel — and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.

The Gentleman Homicide
Understanding The Words We Speak
More craaaazy, angry short haired kids armed with a record deal playing a contrived death metal hardcore/emo mix...
With the exception of Foreknown, there's just something about Blood & Ink bands that don't sit well with me despite my above average levels of tolerance for this kind of music. I don't know if it's the label's inability to decently produce their records, or that their bands are basically complete cookie cutter rip-offs of every other band plying the same style.
For example Texas' The Gentleman Homicide, rough production aside, bring to mind about five different bands I enjoy, yet somehow manage to not be as enjoyable. I hear parts of He Is Legend, Between the Buried and Me, Job For a Cowboy, Life in Your Way and Glass Casket; a damn good mix on paper right? However, TGH just don't seem to blend all of their caustic, jagged, pseudo deathcore ("Questions, A Promise"), emolodic tangents ("No One Dies Without Deserving Less") and off kilter spazzcore that has bits of everything scattered around ("The Goodbye and the Morning After") into one seamless effort, rather more, the tracks contain some OK elements of each in spurts.
For example, nameless "Track 6" (actually the point in the album where things get a bit better) is a really nice, evocative instrumental with some deep melodic layering. The brief programmed techno and acoustic segues in "Being Torn Apart Through Self Realization" is teasingly wrapped between cookie cutter grinding discordance. "Looking Within the Heart of a Man" has some nice dramatic melodies, but they are mired in typical growly breakdowns.
The whole album, while certainly not terrible, as it's far from the worst I've heard, but sounds like it came from a 'Do It Yourself' home metalcore band kit and the band messed with the ingredients a bit to make it slightly more oddball and varied. TGH just aren't quite 'there' yet, though I'm not ruling them out yet, they still have a ways to go to be considered in the same class as their many, many peers.
Right now is also bad timing for this band because I'm really enjoying releases from The Demonstration, Dead Man in Reno, Veil of Maya, The Human Abstract and Burn In Silence - all equally contrived, but superbly done examples of the genre.
