David Gandy Stars in Lucky Brand Jeans Shoot
Lucky Brand jeans chose model David Gandy as the face for its spring/summer catalogue. The photo shoot took place in Malibu and were taken by photographer Guy Aroch. It seems as though everyone wants a piece of David Gandy right now, being that he is the face of Banana Republic's summer campaign as well as the star of the magazine August Man.
One Response to "David Gandy Stars in Lucky Brand Jeans Shoot"-
Hi there! This post couldn't be written much better! Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He continually kept talking about this. I most certainly will forward this information to him. Fairly certain he's going to have a great read. Many thanks for sharing!

I have a Dyna 2200 mill that I have a program in the controller. I also have a laptop with the serial cable connected to the mill. I have not had any luck getting the program to download to the laptop (I even have software for the machine on the computer). Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't figure it out. Thanks.
Assuming you have figured out how to make the controller actually spit out the program, the only thing i can figure out that you might be doing wrong, is you need a "null-modem" cable for transfer. A straight-through serial cable won't work.
A null-modem cable crosses the "Transmit Data" line, with the "Recieve Data" line, and crosses the "Request To Send" with "Clear To Send"
You can buy null-modem cables or adapters, or you can make one. (google it)
Once you get that squared away, the communication parameters should be set as follows:
Parity: none
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1

I am so excited about reading this book! I'm contemplating breaking my "Bad Corey! No more Strand for a substantial amount of time!" rule to go buy it! :D
I'm also really glad you commented on the translation since I was a bit worried about that. Have you read The Stone and the Flute? The translation from the German is particularly bleh. Actually, you might enjoy it if you're still up for more young adult fantasy. :)
Dude, be pumped! It's amazing — I might even like it more than The Golden Compass, which is saying something! It's absolutely charming, and Inkspell is even better, if that's possible.
I am trying desperately to break from children's fantasy…while it's wonderful, I feel like I wouldn't know what to do with an adult book anymore. :\
Okay, moral crisis: the Strand has now sold out, Books of Wonder has it for $25 (unnecessary hardback, signed by Cornelia Funke), Shakespeare & Co also has a hardback copy (unsigned) also for $25, and Seaburn Books is out of stock, but Barnes & Noble (my sworn enemy of corporate evilness!) has plenty of copies for $10.99! What to do?! I finished my book at lunch and I was banking on the Strand having an Inkheart. Oy bookstore drama.
Anyway, that should give you an idea of exactly how pumped I am about reading this book!
Ooo, if you're not in a rush and it doesn't fall into the realm of evil corporate madness, I'd buy a used copy from an independent seller on Amazon, maybe. But it does give me an idea of how excited you are!

FitAWare is a drop-in replacement for conventional corporate or school walking programs. Combining a better, easier, fully-automatic way of measuring activity with an online social network for motivation, FitAWare is a fun, cost-effective way to get your people moving. And FitAWare really works.
TheActionTracker is smaller than an iPod Nano and weighs less than 1oz.
Analogic Corporation, New England's largest manufacturer of medical devices, first signed up for FitAWare service in the 4th quarter of 2008 with 50 participants. Analogic decided to renew the subscription in the 2nd quarter of 2009, doubling the size of the program and running a creative six-week fitness challenge pitting management against the employees. The rules were simple — the team with the highest average performance over the period would win. If any team beat the management, or "Operations" team, the operations team would serve the highest-performing team lunch at the end of the competition. On the other hand, if no employee team won, then the lowest-performing employee team would have to serve management lunch. The stakes were high and the competition was on.
What happened? Collectively, the 100 Analogic participants walked over 50 million steps during the six weeks of the challenge. The top individual performer turned in over a million steps during the period, and one participant logged a 62,000+ step day. Testimonials included "I lost 40 pounds," and "I'm down to my college weight for the first time in 20 years." Converted to distance, the total steps equaled the circumference of the Earth at the equator. And the Operations team? They put on tuxedo-printed T-shirts and served the "Happy Hoofers" lunch at the awards banquet. The event was a huge success, and Analogic is already looking forward to the next FitAWare challenge later this summer.

Live By The Takeout Menu? 5 Ways to Eat Healthy
Apr 19th
If you find yourself eating more takeout meals than home cooked meals, chances are that you aren't eating as healthy as you could be. As more popular restaurant chains add drive-thru or carry-out services to their menu, more people are dining out for the sake of convenience. If this sounds like you, it's time to take control of the takeout menu and begin to eat in a more healthy way. Here's how:
Order Dressing on the Side
Dressing is a virtual salad killer. If you're ordering a salad in an attempt to eat a healthy meal, the dressing that you choose can ruin your meal in no time flat. Instead of having your dressing added to your salad, ask for it on the side. When you sit down to eat, don't pour your dressing over your salad. Instead, dip your fork in the dressing and then pierce your lettuce. You'll have just the right amount of dressing to add flavor without adding dozens of calories!
Get Down With the Brown
Whether you are ordering a main dish that comes with sides or ordering sides in lieu of a meal, skip anything that's white. Choose brown rice, whole grain breads, wheat pastas and sweet potatoes instead of their lighter colored siblings. Not only will you be choosing healthier options, you'll be selecting foods that are more satisfying. Eating these foods will fill you up more quickly and keep you fuller for longer.
Skip the Fried Food
Fried food is yummy, there's no doubt about it! Fried food is also ridiculously high in calories. Instead of choosing fried chicken or fish, ask for grilled or broiled meats or fish. Grilling and broiling are much healthier ways of preparing meats and are just as flavorful.
If there is a particular dish that you're craving, don't skip it just because its featured meat is fried! Ask if the cook can prepare the same dish using grilled or broiled meat instead. Most restaurants will be happy to adjust a meal to please their customers.
Load Up on Veggies
Whenever you're given the choice, load up on veggies! Whether you're ordering a side or main, packing your plate full of vegetables is one of the easiest ways to make sure your meal is healthy. Most restaurants offer vegetarian dishes or dishes that can easily be transformed into vegetarian dishes. If you decide to fill your plate with vegetables, make sure that they aren't slathered in butter!
Order it Naked
Many meals on any restaurants would be healthy if it weren't for the sauces, butters, gravies and cheeses that they are swimming in. If you simply can't resist having that double cheeseburger, go for it! Just ask for it plain. When you bring it home, add healthy toppings from your own refrigerator to make it uniquely yours. If the sauce s your favorite part of the sandwich, ask for it on the side. Dip your sandwich before you take a bite to get flavor with fewer calories.
If you're trying to eat healthy, there's no reason why you can't order takeout from your favorite restaurant! If you know how to choose healthier options and aren't afraid to ask that some menu items be tailored to your tastes, you can eat in a healthy way, even if you aren't cooking it yourself!

Do You Actually Know Why You Want to Lose Weight?
Mar 15th
There are a lot of weight loss programs and diets available in the market, but not all people who undergo these programs were able to lose weight. Even in terms of dieting, not all people who follow strict weight loss diet achieve their target numbers on the scale. It is not because these diets and programs are hoax or ineffective; it is because these people who try to lose weight are not motivated enough to achieve their goals. A lot of them would tend to backslide every now and then; hence they do not get the desired result and blame it on the weight loss program or diet. Read the rest of this entry »

Lying Labels: 4 "Healthy" Food Items that Aren't
Jan 6th
A preoccupation with healthy diets, especially among women, has lead many food companies to label their products as healthy. They use many variations on their labels, like "helps control weight", "all-natural", "heart-healthy", "low-fat", or "no sugar added", ostensibly leading the consumer to believe that what they are purchasing has solid nutritional value that won't add to their waist lines. However, many of these labels are a little off-the-mark at best and downright deceptive at worst. Here are a few food or beverage items that any self-respecting health nut should avoid.

Experienced striker Karl Hawley is Gulls' latest signing
Posted: August 01, 2013
|EXPERIENCED striker Karl Hawley has become manager Alan Knill's seventh summer signing ahead of Torquay United's first game of the 2013-2014 season at home to AFC Wimbledon on Saturday (3pm).
Knill has also secured an eighth new face before United face the Dons, with young Derby County forward Callum Ball, 20, joining the squad.
Knill has worked for months behind the scenes to sign Hawley, 31, who has scored more than 90 goals in a career which started at Walsall and has taken him to Carlisle, Preston, Notts County and Scunthorpe United last season.
Hawley scored 11 goals in 37 starts for the Iron during the 2012-2013 campaign, but could not prevent them from being relegated to League Two.
Hawley is a permanent signing, while a two-month loan has been agreed for Ball.
Ball spent most of last season on loan at Coventry City, where he scored three goals in three cup games and made another 15 league appearances, but he's still highly rated at Derby.
Centre-back Krystian Pearce from Notts County became United's sixth signing of the summer this week, penning a two-year deal earlier this week, but Knill has had to wait longer to sign the forwards he's needed to complete his squad.
"Physically and mentally, the players are ready for the new season," said Knill.
"We have had to be patient on many players, but especially the strikers, but it's been important to try and get them right.
''These signings give us four strikers and I'm delighted to have them,'' said Alan. ''I know Karl really well from when I had him at Scunthorpe and he has always scored goals in his career.
''Karl is a proper man. When you grip his hand, it's a proper handshake. He's strong and powerful, and I felt we needed a little bit of experience as well.
''We've been looking for a different type of player to play with Elliot and Ash. We were let down on some but, all of a sudden, Callum has become available.
''I didn't think we'd have a chance of signing him [Ball] but, fortunately for us, Derby County manager Nigel Clough has allowed him to move. Callum feels it will be a good move for himself and we're delighted to have players of this calibre come to Torquay United. Callum is initially here on a youth loan and we will look at it again in October.
''Karl is a permanent signing and I've been speaking to him for well over two months. It's taken a while for various reasons but we're delighted to have him. He is a little short of match-fitness but still looks fit and strong.''
United face a busy week ahead – they travel to League One Swindon Town in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night (7.45pm) before a longer trip to Morecambe in League Two next Saturday.
With Wimbledon expected to bring a sizeable following, United are hoping for a 3,000-plus gate on Saturday to kick off Knill's first full season in charge.
After hauling the club out of relegation trouble last Spring, Knill has seen them through an unbeaten five-game pre-season campaign.
Now for the serious stuff...

February 18. 2013 2:05PM
STRAFFORD – A family of six, including three children and an infant, were lucky that smoke woke them up before a fire tore through a 242-year-old home they had been renting for about a year, according to Fire Chief Paul Stover.
Stover said he had just stoked the fire in his own wood stove when he heard the first report of a structure fire at 483 First Crown Point Road, Apt. 1, around 4:30 a.m. By 4:43 a.m., police, firefighters and emergency personnel had responded to the scene, where fire and heavy smoke was billowing out of the home.
By the time he passed the home on the way to the nearby Crown Point substation, Stover said two adults and four children – ages 11, 9, 2 and the baby - left the home and tossed the family cat out the door as they fled for safety.
"Given the conditions and lack of smoke detectors, it could have been a tragedy," Stoker said, adding the American Red Cross is assisting the family.
Stover, who first arrived with Officer Randy Young, said he sounded three alarms within the first 10 minutes at the scene, and called for five within an hour to bring additional firefighters to help battle the wind-driven fire.
Local crews were assisted by firefighters from Allenstown, Barnstead, Barrington, Chichester, Deerfield, Farmington, Louden, Milton, Northwood, Nottingham, Pittsfield and Rochester. Epsom and Louden provided station coverage.
"The wind met the back of the house square-on," Stover said, explaining that stoked the fire in the old farmhouse, which was made with square nails and thick, heavy timbers – providing plenty of fuel.
Stoker said the cold temperatures hampered efforts since hoses and equipment froze. Although the home was a total loss, firefighters were able to save the attached garage and remove the large propane tank before it ignited, he added.
"They shut it down, cut it (the line) and rolled it," Stoker said.
Stoker said the 2½-story home was constructed in the post-and-beam style, and had narrow stairways, which made access difficult. He credited Rochester firefighters who attempted an interior attack before being forced out by the intense fire.
While Chichester brought a rehabilitation truck, Stoker said firefighters kept warm in the nearby fire station, which was within sight of the fire.
"It helps a lot because it's so bitter cold," Stoker said.
Despite the constant wind, with gusts of up to 50 mph, Stoker said firefighters were glad it was blowing into a snow-covered field across the road, rather than towards nearby homes.
"If this was late fall or early spring, we'd be chasing spot fires all day long," Stoker said.
He said firefighters would have to hose down the smoldering pile of rubble during the day. He added they might even ask the town's road agent to break through the debris as a precaution.
Stoker said the fire, which appears to be accidental at this time, remains under investigation.
"We have an area of origin, but not a cause," Stoker said, adding firefighters will talk to the property owner to determine how the home was laid out and what appliances or equipment could have been inside.

I haven't had a chance to test one out yet, but with HD capabilities and a comparable price point to that of the Flip HD camcorders it looks like Hewlett-Packard is looking to compete with the big dogs. Hopefully we can get the cameras in house soon for a hands on review.

Price Anderson Coverage Cleanup Costs
Does Price Anderson Cover Offsite Economic Costs? ANI implied that it does to the NRC Commissioners; NRC OGC representative told ACRS that he doesn't know; Inside EPA investigative report, supported by emails between EPA, NRC, FEMA obtained by FOIA, July 2010 concluded that Price Anderson only covered partial costs-not cleanup. The report said that,
NRC officials also indicated during the meetings that the industry-funded account established under the Price Anderson Act -- which Congress passed in 1957 in an effort to limit the industry's liability -- would likely not be available to pay for such a cleanup. The account likely could only be used to provide compensation for damages incurred as the result of an accident, such as hotel stays, lost wages and property replacement costs, the documents show, leaving federal officials unsure where the money to pay for a cleanup would come from.

Cleaning a Gas Fireplace
Dear NH,
I moved into a 10-year-old house two years ago. It had a natural gas line going to the fireplace with artificial logs. Not knowing whether it had been used previously for burning wood, I had the chimney swept I've decided to stick with gas logs. How often need I have the chimney cleaned in the future?
Lucky you! You probably don't ever have to clean it again. The exhaust from gas logs is primarily water vapor, some carbon dioxide and, if combustion is not efficient, some carbon monoxide. These combustion byproducts are not corrosive and leave no residue to speak of so they will have no significant short-term effect on the lining of your chimney.
Of course, it is wise to have an occasional checkup by a pro just to make sure that no cracks have developed in the chimney liner or, if you have a metal chimney, that it has not become rusty. Leakage of the moist exhaust into the walls around the chimney could result in typical moisture related problems ... lifting paint, rotting wood, mildew and insect infestation. This inspection should not cost very much, and should be done at least every 3 to 5 years.

Sham contracting is rife on building sites operated by Lend Lease, the construction union says.
According to a report in The Australian on Thursday, the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CMFEU) says that the practice of hiring workers as contractors when the nature of the relationship is in reality akin to that of an employer and employee is common at on projects run by the company – with workers missing out on superannuation, sick pay and holiday pay as a result.
"They have got in our view a serious track record of lots and lots of sham contracting on their sites and that's of grave concern to us" CMFEU state secretary Dave Noonan says.
"They don't have a good record in terms of ensuring that workers on their site receive their legal entitlements".
According to the report, it is understood that on Lend Lease's building projects that whilst a core workforce would typically include labourers, some crane crews, hoist operators and amenities people, both formwork constructions and finishing trade workers and their services would be contracted out.
Noonan says that those contractors themselves are engaging in sham subcontracting because Lend Lease is forcing them to do so in terms of the price they demand.
Lend Lease says it continues to work within the framework established by the government and that it remains committed to ensuring full compliance with relevant employment guidelines on the part of contractors.
Lend Lease also says it has received a number of broad complaints regarding allegations of workers being denied proper entitlements as well as some specific allegations, but that no untoward behaviour has been found is subsequent enquiries by the company.
The union's complaints come at a difficult time for Lend Lease as the company battles to rebuild its reputation after admitting to cheating its clients in New York by overbilling on its projects.
The allegations also come amid increasingly intense debate about 'sham contracting' – the use by building firms of engaging workers as contractors in order to avoid obligations associated with superannuation, annual leave and sick leave.
Whilst unions say that the practice is rife on building sites throughout the country, building industry groups disagree. In January, Master Builders Australia hit back at what it said were false statements by the CMFEU about the extent of sham contracting in Australia. Master Builders says the majority of contracting arrangements are legitimate arrangements being entered into freely by participants who choose to operate in this manner to take advantage of the benefits of being a contractor.

From NAA and making the rounds of several news release services today. "When Dr. Offit went on Dateline he was probably disinclined to criticize the MMR vaccine since it is produced by the same pharmaceutical company that made him a wealthy man," said Jim Moody, attorney for the National Autism Association (NAA). "If people are to have confidence in the integrity of the Swine Flu vaccination program this fall then we need full disclosure of all financial relationships between proponents and manufacturers on every vaccine on the market. Who has an objective opinion about a company that has made them rich?" |

The Argentinean stopper has spent almost a decade with Crystal Palace and will be a key figure of the Eagles are able avoid relegation following their return to the Premier League this year.
Twenty years may separate the first and last Premier League campaigns, but one factor remains constant – they were won on both occasions by Manchester United.

I can honestly say, the past five months have gone by entirely too fast. I have found myself trying to juggle three boys, my church calling, and my husband's work schedule, all the while try to stay sane!
October always proves to be one of the most hectic months for me. Preparing for our ward's Primary Program causes many sleepless nights, but I have learned that it ALWAYS works out perfectly! It's very comforting knowing that it always works out, despite a hiccup here and there. Such as when Homeboy decides to take off his shoe in the middle of the program and pretends to eat it. Or when he makes faces at his friend during a song, that he should be signing, but instead causes his mother to attempt to shoot her laser-beam-glare, in his direction. And all of this happening while I am sitting next to the podium. In front... of the entire congregation. Awesome.
Although, Homeboy has managed to tame some of his inner demons, once in a while they do emerge. Such as the time he came out of his room, growling like a tiger and proudly displaying his tiger stripes that he drawn on himself, with a -wait for it- a sharpie marker. The stripes were still visible for our Primary Program. Again, I say, "Awesome".
All markers and scissors have been locked away and hidden from Homeboy, due to the example shown on the right...
Continuing my annual tradition of sewing my boy's their Halloween costumes, we decided to go with the OPD/Weber County inmate theme this year. Homeboy was an OPD officer, like his daddy last year, and demanded to follow suit, this year also. Unfortunately, he had grown so much, his pants resembled more like Capri's than official cop pants. So I sewed another OPD uniform. Homer was content to be the inmate. Orange jumpsuit and all! Our little inmate was so chubby, I couldn't fasten the crotch area of his costume. And when it was time to take it off, we had to cut him out of it! There was no maneuvering of his chunky thighs and arms through the openings!
I tried to convince the hubs to wear his uniform also, so he could be twins with Homeboy. Didn't happen. Party pooper.
I kind of have a feeling that no felon or lawbreaker, would take this officer too serious.
"You have the right to remain cute" Ahhhh hahahaha! I crack myself up! But seriously - I just want to eat him up!
Below is a rare site. I was actually able to capture the image of our elusive teenager, Homey. Apparently, he is 15 and is too cool for school. He arrived to our ward's trunk-or-treat, dressed as a teenager. And Homeboy seems to be "working it", next to him.
Man, they are cute!
My favorite shirt, of all time!
Every October I have high hopes of baking apple pies, going on nature walks with my boys, carving pumpkins, crafting, and frolicking in the leaves. And every October I find myself unable to accomplish all that is on my fall bucket list. But during those moments when I actually slow down and find some time to look out the window and enjoy the fall colors and listen to my family, in the next room, I try to remember to not reflect on the what-nots and instead, those precious moments that make my heart sing.
This past October will always remain a happy memory in my heart. We have a new baby to experience those moments with, a handsome husband who works hard to support his family and to protect the community, a teenager that tests our sanity but teaches us lessons, and a mischievous 5 year old that seems wise beyond his years... even when he stores change in his "special pocket" in the front of his underwear.
Remind me to never put that change in the piggy bank. Homeboy can keep it.

The Federal Reserve extended until February 2014 a program that lends U.S. dollars to foreign central banks.
The U.S. central bank will continue to run its dollar swap lines with the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank through Feb. 1, 2014, the Fed said in a statement Thursday. Under the program, the Fed lends dollars to other central banks, which send back to the Fed an equal amount of funds in their currencies and make the dollars available to banks under their jurisdictions.
The Fed's action prevents the program from expiring in February. Used extensively during the financial crisis, the swap lines had been shut down in February 2010, but revived in May 2010 as sovereign-debt problems began to emerge in Europe. The swap lines are designed to ease financial conditions and avert short-term funding problems.

Teenager pleads guilty to string of auto burglariesA Hutchinson teenager pleaded guilty Friday to a string of auto burglaries last July in a neighborhood east of Hutchinson.
Simon Boast, 19, who appeared before Reno County District Judge Tim Chambers, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of auto burglary and a single count of aggravated burglary. The judge scheduled sentencing for March 29 and, following a plea agreement between the prosecution and defense, allowed Boast to be released from the Reno County jail on his own recognizance. Reno County sheriff's officers arrested Boast and two others last July in connection with the burglaries in the Homefield Addition south of Fourth and Obee Road, just east of Hutchinson. The judge on Friday warned Boast he'd better avoid trouble while out of jail prior to sentencing. "In essence, the state is giving you a break, but they're also giving you enough rope to hang yourself with," Chambers said.

Femulen and nursing
I have a few questions about contraception and Femulen during breastfeeding.
My husband and I are 25 years old and married for two years. I gave birth 10 weeks ago to a beautiful girl (our first child). I am exclusivly breastfeeding, and will be returning to work soon- I hope to continue nursing and pump milk during the day.
My bleeding stopped a few days ago, and i started counting 'shiva nekiim'. I went to my doctor ,and he recomended I take Femulen as contraceptive. (We decided to take a few monthes break before getting pregnant again). But I heard Femulen may cause bleeding and decrease milk production.
Will this kind of bleeding make me niddah? Will wearing colored underwear after I go to the mikve prevent me becoming niddah from spotting?
Is there a way to prevent the decrease in milk production?
Are there other recommended methods of contraception I can use?
Thank you very much!
Dear questioner,
Thank you for your question.
Mazal tov on your new baby!
Bleeding as a side effect of hormonal contraceptives does make you niddah. However, light staining does not make you niddah if it meets certain criteria. Please see the article on stains (ketamim) for a detailed explanation of these criteria.
The effects of progesterone vary from woman to woman. Some women (especially those who are breastfeeding) have no bleeding, some continue to have cyclic bleeding, and others have irregular spotting or bleeding. The first two possibilities generally do not present an unusual strain for observant women - but the last certainly can. There is no way to predict in advance how an individual woman will react. When starting the medication, you should be prepared to give it two months before deciding to discontinue, since many women who spot at the beginning notice a reduction in spotting after about 2 months of use.
Taking the pills at the same time every day can minimize irregular bleeding. Wearing colored underwear can help you avoid becoming niddah unneccessarily. But if you have heavy spotting or experience hargashah, you become niddah even though this is from the pill and not a period.
Halachically, hormonal contraceptives are the easiest to permit when contraception is allowed. For breastfeeding women, femulen (progesterone only) is generally preferred as it is less likely to cause reduction in milk supply. Most medical literature indicates that it does not affect the supply, but their have been exceptions. Nursing frequently is the best way to assure that your supply remains intact.
Many breastfeeding women do well on Femulen, so it is certainly worth trying. If after two months of use, you are still having serious spotting problems, or if you do notice decreased supply as reflected in decreased weight gain in your baby (weigh her after about 2 weeks of use), then get back to us for further advice.
This internet service does not preclude, override or replace the psak of any rabbinical authority. It is the responsibility of the questioner to inform us of any previous consultation or ruling. As even slight variation in circumstances may have Halachic consequences, views expressed concerning one case may not be applied to other, seemingly similar cases.

""Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu helmi 26, 2013
Kiva hotelli tosi hyvällä paikalla - ranta ja ostoskatu lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä. Huone oli melko pieni, eikä hotellilla ole uima-allasta, mutta huone oli siisti ja viihtyisä, oikein hyvä pariksi yöksi jonka siellä vietimme. Ystävällinen palvelu, myös vauvalle oli sänky ja peitteet valmiina, toisin kuin muissa matkan aikana yöpymissämme hotelleissa. Hidas wlan, mutta se oli enemmänkin sääntö kuin poikkeus tällä reissulla. Suosittelen lämpimästi!

Hotelli on juuri sitä, mitä neljältä tähdeltä odottaa. Henkilökunta on auttavaista ja ystävällistä. Hotellista on helppo ajaa minne vaan, koska on isontien läheisyydessä. Huoneet olivat tasokkaat ja siistit. Sängyt erittäin mukavat. Ainut miinus oli Miamin lentokentältä kuuluva koneiden melu, siihenkin tosin tottui. Suosittelen!

"Please read if you are a minority!"
I've stayed in many hotels but never fealt the need to review them. This Hotel was the worst hotel experience of my life. Not only was my room downgraded initially upon arrival. I was given a room that was completely discumbobbled upon getting. Kitchen was a mess, dirty linens and towels were everywhere, the bathroom was flooded with toilet water from […] a broken toilet, and that wasn't even the worst part of my stay. It took management 3 hours to finally get us into a room (approximately at 11pm). We settled into our room after a long flight only to find out the toilet was still broken. We were not comped for anything, we were treated like second class citizens where as in the lobby I felt as if the white patrons were receiving much better service than us.

My husband and I just returned from a 2nd and 6 night stay at this hotel. We absolutely had a great time! The staff was really accomodating, especially Debbie, the day manager. She went out of her way to upgrade our room. Not that we didn't like the room we were assigned. We just wanted the same view we had the last time we stayed here. And she delivered […] with excellence. Amber the front desk clerk was also great as was Christophe the bellman. Very friendly staff at Hilton Bentley who are sure to please and great professionals! We plan on staying at this hotel EVERY time we're in SoBe. We very highly recommend this hotel to all of our family and friends!!! You won't regret staying here t this hotel!!!!!

"Greta location"
We stayed 2 nights, all in all an excellent experience. We are becoming more & more loyal to Hilton for our travels around the world, & this South Beach Hilton has just added to our list of preferences. This is the best location in Ocean Drive, within a 15 min walking distance from Lincoln Av & surroundings. The Hotel beach is excellent, good access […] & facilities, the staff is excellent & very attentive. The room was very large, with kitchenet & an excellent bathroom, quiet like the hotel in general. Apart from a small issue, with brief but annoying noise from the cleaning personnel early morning, cleaning the next door rooms, "screaming" in spanish on their cellphones, and carelessly closing the doors (but the same happened with the guests anyway...). One final word to the excellent quality of the breakfast and also th dinners at the renowned De Rodriguez Cuba restaurant, really worthy a visit. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Hotel -bad service, unclear fees"
Rooms were given late (beyond the check in time). It was difficult with the infant. Fees were incorrectly communicated and applied to the final bill.Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Quiet Hotel in South Beach"
This hotel is in a great South Beach location if you want to be on the beach, but want it quiet at night. You are only 4 blocks to 5th & Ocean - where all the activity is. The pool staff is excellent. They take great care of you. We stayed there three nights. Our room was never cleaned the first day and we had to call and complain to get it cleaned […] the second day. Then after it was finally cleaned, there was no new shampoo or toiletries. The ice maker in the refrigerator did not work either. The hotel maintenance staff was great and got it fixed, but it was very inconvenient to have someone working in our room with the refrigerator pulled out. Despite being fairly loyal to the Hilton family of hotels, on our next trip to South Beach, we will probably look to stay somewhere else. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
Hotel needs updating all over. They were renovating everyday right outside of our room, sanding and making noise. The continental breakfast which you would assume to be free was $56 for 2 people. Beach chairs and an umbrella will cost you $30/day. Check in isn't until 4 pm, we waiting 4 hours from 9 am to 1 pm until a nice manager saw us looking miserable […] and pulled some strings to get us into our room. I expected more from $200+/night and a Hilton hotel. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"A little odd"
Everyone loves you when you arrive, then you are forgotten. The rooms were very clean, except for the hair in the bath tub, yuck. We had a city view which looked upon vacant lots and Prime one twelve. The "Private" beach was nice with food and "beach butler", whom just takes your order and throws you food. When charging you for chairs/ umbrellas order […] food now because you will soon be forgotten again. After waiting 25 mins to order, I had the fish sandwich, it still had the tail on it, not something you want to deal with on the beach. I asked 4 times if I could get a towel, the butler I asked twice, never did bring one. The beach itself is very lovely. Beware of the hot tub! IT WAS SO HOT everyone was sitting around it. The sauna was off. Bad back or knees, DO NOT stay here. The whole room is of marble (which isn't child friendly and had some film on the floor) and the tub is in this mass of marble. So we literally had to grab the top of the shower and pull ourselves in over a huge step. We are 6'1 and 5'8, so good luck if you are shorter. They clean your room around 2-4pm. So overall, the beach was great. It was out of the way of "south beach" yet just a small walk. And the rent bikes are everywhere. If you are on a budget, I'd pack a sheet for the beach buy an umbrella (give it to a homeless person when you leave) and save the extra money by staying somewhere else. If you're not on a budget, I'd spend more money and stay somewhere else. :) LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Extremely disappointing!"
They abuse in charges every where all the time. 20 dollars per day to use the amenities at the pool and beach, EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE IT. One day they did not ofer the service at the beach because of the rain and they charged the 20 dollars anyway. Since I was in my parents room, they also obligated me to pay more 10 dollars if I wanted to use a chair […] in the beach, arguing that the 20 dollars just provided 2 chairs. But I payed to stay in their room! And the service at the beach is terrible. It just start at 11 am and is very slow, not corresponding to the extra money they obligate you to pay for it. Every where you go you must pay an expensive extra service amount and they sugest you to give 20 per cent in tips. In the restaurants they even charge you for the ice you use in your drink. Every where you go they try to take a lot of your money, frustrating your experience. This kind of service do not correspond with a serious hotel. You feel abused. I think the abuse imcreases because in the Hotel's area there are not a lot of restaurants and convenience stores out of its amenities. A few days before I stood at The James Hotel and the experience as ten thousand times better, with a much better area and service in the beach for free for its guests, as it should be. The localization is also 10 thousand times better, with a lot of restaurants at Lincon Rd near by. For this price you can also go to the Fairmont, also in a better localization and without this kind of exploration.. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu

"Gem of a Hotel"
The check in process took around 1/2 an hour but they offered us $30 in drink vouchers to compensate. The room was amazing, the largest bathroom that I've ever had and one wall was a full window and a bidet was a surprising addition. Comfy bed and the balcony had a full chaise lounge and two chairs and table. Perfect to enjoy the afternoon sun and view […] of the bay. Tried the tapas happy hour with a free mojito...delicious! Beach access is easy and $30 for two padded lounge chairs, large umbrella and beach butlers to bring you food and drinks...bliss!

"Firs timer in South Beach"
Very nice hotel, right on the beach. They have privet chairs and umbrellas that are not included so you have to rent them for $10 each for the day ( but it's worth it ). The hotel is not far from the restaurants but far enough from the nighttime noise. We went there late September and there was some construction going on in the hotel so I would recommend […] to call ahead to see if they are done. Or at least get a room on the opposite side of the construction - it was kind of noisy. Other than that our stay was awesome. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu

"Nickeled and Dimed"
The hotel has created a car parking monopoly. And I have to hand it to them, it's pretty slick. There is no option to park your own car at this hotel, valet only, which is fine, however, it costs $35/day to park at this hotel.....ridiculous in my opinion. The parking lot adjacent to the hotel boasts cheaper rates, however, you cannot park there between […] 3am-7am. So you're stuck paying the $35 per night at the Hilton. There is a charge for sitting in the chairs posted up by the hotel on the beach (umbrella is extra!). This includes guests of the hotel. I understand this is south beach we're talking about, and everyone is a millionaire, but that is crazy. We just laid our towels down directly in front of the chairs for spite! A couple positives are the staff, location, and attached restaurant. The staff was always courteous. Our bellman, waiter, and receptionist were all helpful and descent people. The cuban dishes at the restaurant are tasty. The hotel is setup in a great spot for beach access, restaurants, and bars. Overall in my opinion this hotel charges south beach rates with an outdated 80s decor look and feel. I would not stay at this hotel again and I usually lean towards the Hilton brand on most vacations. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
