"Repeat Keys Traveler"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
While the property is a little dated it is well maintained and the setting is perfect. The staff, especially Sandra, was most courteous and helpful. We are not divers and only stayed one night. We could spend more time here on a later visit.
"Decent for the price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
The room was OK but needs to be updated
"Great pool"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
Wonderful 3 BR suite well maintained. Friendly staff -great heated pool. Maid service seemed to be on demand and usually resulted in a bag of towels being left in the room-not a big deal just odd.

"travelodge quality with nice dock in back of hotel"
THE GOOD - the rooms are as advertised and the staff was helpful. THE BAD - main concerns I had was that the room did not have phone in them, so you could not get incoming calls or call the front desk. Unless your cell works in the keys, no one can reach you and you cant call out. Best not be on a minutes plan like me, becasue I had to buy 2 phone cards. […] Also there was no "do not disturb" card, so I had maids wake me up at 815 am each morning. They also did not leave fresh soaps during the 3 days I was there. That seemed a bit cheap. Aside from this, the staff was nice and parking was easy. Picture a motel that has a nice keys vibe. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location for exploring the Keys"
Although there was considerable construction going on during our stay, the service was good and the views of the creek was excellentGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"creekside inn comfortable stay"
We had a very nice room overlooking the water and dock. Paddle the water was right beside and we had an overlook from our balcony. Spacious room was very well situated and the staff were very friendly and helpfull with advise on local sights etc..The facility is still not fully completed but did not interfere with our enjoyment and our stay was very […] pleasant, we slept very wetland for the price it was good value. will stay again as we were made very welcome. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stop over on way to Key West"
The window in our bathroom had a broken lock, we had light shining into our room all night as the balcony lights could not be shut off, the air conditioner was up so high we could not reach it and the room did not have a phone so we could not even call the front desk for help. Additionally,we found long black hairs in the shower and we both have blond […] hair. The best thing about this hotel was it's location making it a convenient overnight stay on the way down to the Keys. This hotel is way over priced! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very good hotel !!! -:)"
Very comfortable stay in the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very nice staff, very helpful! Back deck is a joy to sit out in the evening / morningGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"It was fine"
Our room was small but I knew it only had one bed and no couch so i wasn't surprised. It was clean and tastefully decorated. The place has one big BBQ for grilling (it's a small property). It has a dock, a place for boat parking, and one hammock. My only complaint was that the wall air conditioning units leak onto the exterior hallways. There happened […] to be a huge puddle right in front of my door from the AC next door to us. Although i saw water elsewhere in the hallway, the only door that had a puddle in front of it was mine. If the leaky AC problem was fixed, my rating for the condition or maintenance of the hotel would have been 5 stars, but i gave this section 3 because it was a big deal to me. No problems with the front desk staff. The people in front of me at check in were upset because they booked a room with a water view or balcony but got neither. However, the front desk explained that if you book through a booking site (instead of the hotel directly) you can only request a specific type of room, but it will not be guaranteed. Some of the rooms have a back door that opens up to where the boats park on the water, but some other rooms have front doors opening to the main road. No private balconies but there is a second building which i didn't visit. I thought the price was a little high for one bed but it was a holiday weekend. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Creekside Inn Islamorada Thank you for your comments on our property! It is great to know that you had a good time. We are always working on making our hotel a little more comfortable and welcoming for our guests. All our AC units are new and there are a couple that leak water but this is something we are working on fixing. We do have very nice rooms with private balconies on the water located on our second building to the north of the one you stayed in. There are also doubles and doubles with kitchenette available, as well as two suites which have separate bedrooms for those planning on traveling with a big family. Hope to see you again soon!!

"Low-key stay in the keys"
My husband and stayed here for a couple of nights for our honeymoon. It's such a great deal for being in Islamorada, and only minutes away from Morada Bay (the most romantic restaurant in Islamorada). Our room had a balcony over a little water way that had several tropical fish and we even saw manatees swimming through one morning! We were tempted to […] snorkel right outside our room! The only complaint we had was the uncomfortable bed, and the fact that you can hear everything through the walls. But overall, it was very laid back and relaxing. We really enjoyed our stay!

Response by Creekside Inn Islamorada Thank you for your very nice comments!! It was a pleasure having you here for your Honeymoon. All our beds are brand new so that might be the reason they are still not so soft. Hope to see you again soon!
"hotel with dockage for diving and fishing vacation"
The new manager was miserable. We have never been charged for dockage for the last several years. We were informed that we would have to pay a significant dock fee for each day that we were there. There were not enough towels or ice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Unacceptable. The dead bolt lock on the room to our door was not working, and the door would not close well. When closed, a gap remained between the door and the frame, and the small chain was the only thing preventing break-in. I immediately notified the hotel staff, and she advised me a maintenance crew would come to fix the door. That never happened. […] My wife did not sleep well that night, fearful of a break in. We will never stay in the Creekside Inn again. The hotel does not maintain the rooms, and is not responsive to guests. Unacceptable. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stay Away from this hotel"
This hotel was suppose to have a waterside view, instead I was looking at a dumpster and a sandlot. They charge my card twice and it took 10 days to receive my deposit back to my account. That really hurt our ability to have the freedom to spend what we wanted to. The location is split up and we had to walk 2 blocks to use the pool if we wanted to, […] past resturants and along a busy road. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just OK"
It is a place where you can stop to sleep, but don't expect much else. Some things that I notice and found a little off where that the ice machine was kept under lock so I could not get any ice. They advertise Wi-fi but it was locked and I could not get the password because the staff leaves at 8pm. Also the bed's headboard was extremely dusty. If you […] can overlook things like this and just go there to sleep then this is a place where you can stop. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Creekside Inn Islamorada Thank you for your feedback! We provide all our guests with a bucket for ice in each room and at night we leave a big bag of ice inside every refrigerator. Also, we do have free Wi Fi and it has a great signal. The password plus some information about what to do while here and our favorite local restaurant is on a laminated brochure by every TV. We have an emergency number posted on the lobby door so that once we close all our customers have a choice to contact us with any concerns. All our rooms have been renovated and have new furniture from Tahiti. Sorry for your inconvenience and hope to see you again soon!
"On a canal just off Snake Creek"
Clean, comfortable room. NO VIEW from room. Back door opens to the canal and docks. Clean, clear, water. Dolphins swam by in the morning! Nice little pool enclosure; on the street side, but secluded with fencing and landscaping.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Last second room find"
Well, the bed was new and nice and the bathroom recently remodeled and the refrigerator worked fine so the room was nice compared to the outside and surrounding neighborhood. Fringe neighborhood in shabby area. Tavernier translates to ghetto. But the was room was decent considering other factors and it was only needed as a desperate search for a room […] during busy keys weekend. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not the nicest Florida Keys location..."
Rooms were decent size and clean, but smelled musty. Hotel is right on an inlet and good location for fishing - but nothing much in walking distance and no Ocean view.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great stay!"
Great place to stay for a short trip. Rooms are small but everything was very clean! Good location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Horrible service"
Worst service ever! My fiance and I came for my family reunion on Friday night at 10:00pm; we were unable to check in because they were closed but was able to access the key from a coded lock box. Once we arrived it smelled, the air conditioning was not working properly and the TV was not functioning AT ALL. The next morning I woke up to a HUGE florida […] palmetto bug aka COCKROACH in the middle of the floor... disgusting. I told the cleaning lady and we reported it to the management office. Nothing was handled properly, customer service is horrible here. It was so unbearable we did not stay the 2nd night. I will never come back.. nor will I suggest their service to anyone else .

They are under renovation in part of the motel. The service is great. Very nice by canal. The main motel is beautiful with lots of plants. The room was very clean and newly done. Convenient to the area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I HAVE SPENT 166$ plus taxes for a night"
Where to start: I've stayed here for a night and it has poor conditions. It really needs renovation, They don't have a lot of things like: hair drier, you have to ask for it in the front desk "ridiculous, ", only 2 big towels in the bathroom. the bathroom so dirty, I would never chosen this one! I don't recommend it! .I spent my money in a horrible […] place Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very Disappointed"
We were very dissatisfied with our 2-night stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, but the bed mattresses were hard and very uncomfortable. We paid extra for a nicer room with a balcony and a view... and the view was not pretty at all. The cleanliness of the bathroom was questionable. The bathroom window faced the shower and had no curtains!! There […] was a tiny sink... and no counter space to speak of!! The towels in the bathroom were old and rigid from having been washed so often. I would not recommend this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"El Dumpo!"
Couldn't wait to leave the next morning. Way over priced. $166.00 for one night. Do not recommend to anyone!!!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good Value for Price"
Good Value for Price. Loved the canal side, incredible breeze. Excellent if you have your own boat and want to fish in keys, slips in the back, go right out Atlantic. Would go backGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A roach a day"
Staff tried to charge me $300 for a lost key...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great get away and very relaxing"
Great time good services and very nice place. Would recommend to everyoneGenuine Expedia guest review
It was a nice hotel. We used the restaurant next door 2 of the days. The food was not good the first day but it was excellent the 2nd. I enjoyed the canal behind the hotel. We however had a problem with booking, (a computer problem) and ended up being booked into 2 hotels at the same time for 2 nights. The other place was very accomodating and cancelled […] one night, Creekside would not work with us at all even though we stayed there 2 of the 3 nights we had booked. They told us it was their busy season so they should have been able to rent out the room but they didn't even attempt to work with us. The hotel was nice and the maid I encountered was wonderful, very friendly and very thorough. Was not impressed with the shower in the bathroom. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Never againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Make sure you get a room with a balcony"
The newly remodeled room was nice and quiet. We booked a room there with a balcony and because the hotel is in the canals that was really wonderful. The staff was very nice, and helpful. The hotel location was satisfactory, we felt it would have been better to be closer to the Marathon area for things to do.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"On the water"
Our room was large with a full sized fridge. Our son enjoyed the lights in the canal that let him see the fish swimming and night. The shower was quite dirty... To the point I didn't really want to use it. The beds were creaky and very hard. If they improve those things it would be an above average motel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A convenient, cute place in the Keys"
We had a brief stay at the Creekside Inn recently and we enjoyed it. If you check-in after 8pm they will put the key in a lockbox outside the room and give you the combination over the phone. Service isn't that great, they put a $100 hold on your card until they inspect your room after you leave. They call you later on that day to tell you the room […] was fine and the hold was removed. I don't like the fact that you are guilty until proven innocent, makes for some uncomfortableness. The canal area out back is lovely and the hotel's strong point. Very relaxing and beautiful at night especially. I would stay here again if we return to the Keys. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Great stay enjoyed for the price . Only minus was the construction next door was noisy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
There was no water pressure for the shower. The water came out Of the shower head and ran down the wall I was better off tryin to take a shower in the sink. Horrible experience. We were supposed to stay two days and left after the firstGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The staff at Creekside Inn is superb. Extremely friendly and always eager to help. This has been my 2nd stay at this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Weekend at the keys"
Not bad, rooms were nice but don't know if I'll stay there again??Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just O.K."
It was just o.k. I have never been charged $100 key charge to return a key. Then they had to go check the room and believe me even the towels were not worth drying yourself with. The only good thing was the restaurant next door called MADE 2 ORDER for breakfast. That was the best ever. That was worth the $100 deposit that we did get back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I really like the hotel and the room itself beside the price if it can be more affordable but if i have to come back again i will not hesitateGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"great location"
Exellent Location we stayed here on our way to Key WestGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Our Stay"
At first impression we were not impressed. The room was small and would rate it below average. Our opinion changed when we went out back by the water. The rear deck was very cozy and it was nice sitting by the canal. The most upsetting issue with us was when we were told that $100 was being with held on my credit card until our room was inspected by […] the house cleaning staff. We've stayed in a whole lot nicer places than the Creekside and It just made us feel like riff raft and not guests. That alone will be a deal breaker for me for the next time..

"Week end in the keys"
rooms are dark , small , air conditioner not working , staff available from 8am to 8.pm difficult for a late checking.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Expensive for what you get"
I stayed there last weekend. It more a motel that a hotel actually and I found expensive what I paid for it. I have been in the key many times and there are several better options for this price. It certainly does not worth the price.Genuine Expedia guest review
For one night it was fine but I wouldn't recommend it for an extended period of time. Second floor rooms really don't have windows to look out of unless you open the bathroom window. Not that you spend much time in your room but it was kind of odd. Young woman at front desk was very nice and accommodating. Mattresses were a cheaper brand so squeaked […] when you moved. It is right on the water with a very nice house across the channel but a really run down house across from it so a mix of a neighborhood feel. Don't eat at the Great Wall Chinese restaurant - food was below average. McDonald's close though. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice canal view doesn't justify poor quality"
Had to go to Office and ask manager to unlock ice machine for ONE bucket of ice. That's all we were allowed!! Office closes at 8pm which means no ice after 8pm. If I stood under a garden hose that shower would have been better than the shower in our room. No windows except one small one in the bathroom which people could easy look into. Security door […] chain broken. Only 2 towels provided. Very Clean, friendly helpful staff, very nice spot on canal. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"My stay at Creekside"
At first glance I was disappointed . After checking the rooms and surroundings I was pleasantly suprised . I think if the management invested in some great beds ,( mine was a little uncomfortable) Creek side would be a great place to stay for a vacation we went to John Penny-camp I will come back .. They have an amazing location right on the canal, […] with plenty of chair's to enjoy the evening . Grills for cooking and a lot of room to eat dinner on the patio Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean hotel."
Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Would stay here again. Overlooks canal- nice and quiet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall Disappointing"
No ice machine anywhere near room. Did not have enough linens for 2 people, no counter space or hooks in bathroom, room almost two blocks from office. No one in office after 8:00.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Its OK for an overnight stay"
Room was clean. air conditioner was noisyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Only one available for a reason."
Just old, everything in the room worked. Nice location on the water.Genuine Expedia guest review
Pretty location. Bedding was worn and needs replacing. Bathrooms needed basic maintenance. Waited too long to check in due to prolong conversation with another guest. Get breakfast with package. Resturant was next door with good breakfast. Overall it was ok.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A nice quiet place to stay."
The cons were that the room was small, we couldn't connect to the wifi, and the curtain did not keep out the light at night. That being said, the hotel was in a very nice area, had a great view of the canal below, and was walking distance from a great restaurant called "Old Tavernier Inn." (Pricey but worth it.) There is a walkway on the first floor […] with seating available to hotel guests that has a view of the canal and the beautiful homes that line it. I would definitely stay here again as the cons were minor and we overall enjoyed the room. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Because I originally did not want to spend that amount of money, I tried a different mat... and then another. Didn't like either of them. Ultimately bought this one which I should have done to begin with! I would definitely recommend this mat. |

Founded by artists, Yale Union is a center for contemporary art in South East Portland. It is led by a desire to support emerging and under-acknowledged contemporary artists, propose new modes of production, and stimulate the ongoing public discourse around art.
We are a small organization in a large building. At this point in our development stage, it would be disingenuous to say that our building, a handsome brick block, isn't as much an albatross as it is an instrument. While still in renovation (see PLAN section) Yale Union (YU) will demonstrate that a contemporary art center does not need to be architecturally complete to foster culture.
In 1916, an article in the Portland Evening Telegram reported that Yale Laundry (built in 1908) had 125 employees. The majority of the workers employed in the laundry business were women. They worked long hours under harsh conditions. By 1919, the plight of the laundry worker had become symbolic of the need to enforce state labor laws; that year the laundry workers went out on strike. In response to labor trends, several power laundries were consolidated in 1920 to form the Home Service Company in order to share resources and meet new regulations forming around hours and wages. This consolidation was successful and the laundry business boomed.
In 1927, owner Charles Brown sold his remaining interest in Yale Laundry to the Home Service Company; soon after it merged with Union Laundry. The laundry operated until the mid-1950s, when personal washing machines became affordable for middle-class families.
The building is now listed on the National Registry of Historic Places for its ability to convey information about American industrialization and the industrial laundry business of early 20th century America, the women's labor movement, and the rise of the middle class. In 2008, the Yale Union Laundry Building was purchased for the creation of YU. It would be easy to cheat with a building this pretty, but in our minds, sometimes nothing feels more antagonistic to being sans-serif in our thinking than a 100-year-old building. That's an un-lasting sentiment; one of the chief functions of Yale Union is simply to turn dead matter into a living contribution to Portland.
Please check back regularly for updates on scheduling. If you would like to attend the Finlay exhibition and visit the library, schedule an appointment for a Sunday from 1-6pm.
By public transit, YU is situated near the intersection of the 15 & 70 bus lines. Vehicle and bicycle street parking in the neighborhood is traditionally easy. Entrance to exhibitions is free although a donation of $5 is suggested.
Access to visitors with physical disabilities is not limited, but please call 503 236-7996 once you arrive for assistance.

Internship Opportunities
The Yale Union Internship program provides an opportunity to be involved in the development and execution of a progressive and engaged contemporary arts program. The internship is designed to offer in-depth training and first-hand experience to those interested in pursuing a role in the fields of curating, exhibition production, or arts administration. Internships are usually a glimpse-behind-the-curtain-exercise, a classic look but don't touch scenario, a time of gluey lips and stamp-lickage. At YU, interns touch, smudge documents, and activate projects. From the gate, interns feel the implosion of work, swift responsibility, and a steep learning curve. The position is ideal for a recent college graduate, or MA/MFA level student (not mandatory), with interests in non-profit arts organizations and an existing engagement with contemporary art. The post is for a four-month period (with possibility to extend if appropriate), and requires a minimum commitment of two days per week. Yale Union offers internships in the following areas:
Curatorial/Research Internship
YU will consider applicants who demonstrate exceptional research and writing skills as well as a strong interest in contemporary art and architecture. The Curatorial Research Intern will work directly with YU's curator and curatorial assistant to conduct extensive research associated with YU's upcoming exhibitions, as well as commissioned projects and publications.
Development Internship
Want to know how art gets funded? Gain valuable insight into the Pacific Northwest's fundraisers and grant makers by working behind the scenes to support our projects. All the while, develop a sense of how a small non-profit operates. Interns will work closely with the Development Department on various long- and short-term projects including fundraising, event planning, and corporate sponsorships. Experience all stages of the donor prospecting process: discuss projects with curators, research potential corporate, foundation, and individual supporters, draft text and design proposals, and coordinate grant schedules and materials. Get acquainted with Portland's social scene researching and planning events and representing YU. Assist with Board of Director relations and planning. And rack up impressive skills for any future career in the arts or the non-profit sector, including database knowledge and specialized research. This internship is particularly appropriate for recent graduates interested in getting a broad overview of a non-profit arts organization, and graduate students in Arts Administration/Public Administration/Non-profit Management programs wishing to gain relevant experience. Organized, upbeat, and motivated interns who are looking to explore their interest in the arts are encouraged to apply.
Preparator Internship
Want to learn how exhibitions get realized? With several projects in production at any given time, you will gain experience in the various stages of the production process from initial to final presentation stage while working with the Curator and Director. While specific tasks vary per project, you will conduct research (e.g. sourcing and pricing, installation research), assist in the workshop, and attend curatorial meetings, with the opportunity for active participation. Interns showing a healthy commitment and particular aptitude may be assigned special design and build-out projects.
How to Apply:
Please send a cover letter, resume, and writing sample (no more than three pages) to email@example.com
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

One of the jewels in the Museum's crown is its drawing collection, numbering over 8,000 sheets. Collected since 1816, this distinctive trove is the country's earliest public drawing collection. It is also one of the finest, whose strength resides in its unparalleled late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century material to furnish a comprehensive survey of American art from its inception, dominated by European artists, up through the 1860s, by which time native-born artists had asserted an American identity. Stellar clusters after that time include around 640 drawings by James Carroll Beckwith, ten of which are the earliest portraits of John Singer Sargent known; six sheets by Sargent and watercolors by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Beginning with rare colonial objects collected for their historical interest, the collection documents major events in the history of the nation. It also records the cultural firmament, for example, the highly significant 217 16th-century watercolors of European birds by Pierre Eskrich and colleagues collected by their donor that antedate the publication of the first printed ornithological treatises.
While panoramic in scope, the New-York Historical Society's drawing collection encompasses large holdings by a single artist or group. Among the highlights are the 500 watercolors by John James Audubon, including all 435 preparatory for The Birds of America. These national treasures form the centerpiece of the Historical Society's Audubon holdings, the largest repository of Auduboniana in the world. Others are the 221 "outline" drawings of George Catlin recording Native American culture; an incredibly rich cluster of drawings by Hudson River School artists such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Frederick Kensett; and all the known watercolors by William Guy Wall for the seminal The Hudson River Portfolio (1820–1825), the namesake of the nation's first indigenous landscape school that set the itinerary for the American Grand Tour. It also numbers over 350 drawings and sketchbooks of Asher B. Durand.
Landscape, including cityscapes, is another significant category; the earliest is a 1650 view of New Amsterdam, after which a legion of draftsmen recorded New World

The Coolest Beards in Baseball
You know, Brian Wilson may actually have something here.
The Giants closer has made a killing off his trademark beard, but he's actually following in a long and storied tradition of great facial hair in baseball.
It used to be the mustache. Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, heck, all the greats had one. Now it seems like the beard is the facial weapon of choice these days.
Here are the 10 coolest ones in Major League Baseball.
No. 10: Chris Perez
Jason Miller/Getty Images
Chris Perez is like your buddy from college who could always grow an amazing beard. It's a little unkempt, but nicely trimmed at the same time.
He probably claims that he's too lazy to shave it off, but we all know it's because the ladies love it.
No. 9: Brett Myers
Bob Levey/Getty Images
It just wouldn't be right to have an Astro without a pointy, King Tut-like beard.
Obviously, Jeff Bagwell carried that torch for awhile, and carried it well, but Brett Myers has been there to pick up where he left off.
It looks like if Jay Leno grew a beard.
No. 8: Kevin Youkilis
Elsa/Getty Images
As a goatee guy myself, I think they should definitely count in the beard category, and Youk has one of the best in baseball.
I give him extra points because it's the only hair on his head. Not easy to pull off the bald and bearded look.
No. 7: John Axford
Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images
Very Captain Jack Sparrow.
Throw in a pretty epic mullet, and I would say that Mr. John Axford is significantly rocking that look.
No. 6: Jayson Werth
Patrick McDermott/Getty Images
Dangit, Jayson Werth is just so cool.
His beard isn't quite what it used to be, but the man just knows how to pull off the look. The big shaggy hair and the face whiskers say "I don't care about my appearance (but I secretly do care, ladies)."
No. 5: Tommy Hanson
David Banks/Getty Images
Sadly, a lot of people out there are ashamed to be redheads. For some reason, our society has turned our backs on our redheaded fellow man.
I love redheads, which is why I fully support them when they grow out a beard. It's like saying "not only do I have red hair on my head, but it's all over my face too. What now?"
Total power move.
No. 4: Brian Wilson
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
I personally think Brian Wilson's beard jumped the shark a season ago, but he's still dying that thing, wearing it proudly and looking more and more homeless each year.
Doesn't matter. Wilson is one of the most recognizable guys in the game, which is funny to say because I don't think anyone would be able to tell who he was without that beard anymore.
Also, I was going to include Sergio Romo on this list, but he and Wilson are basically the same person now, so it doesn't count.
No. 3: Yu Darvish
Jason Miller/Getty Images
Yu know we had to do Yu.
I'm not the biggest fan of the chinstrap, but if you're a baller like Yu, I'll allow it.
At least it merges into a respectable goatee instead of chinstrapping all the way around his face. That would have just been unacceptable.
No. 2: Prince Fielder
Christopher Pasatieri/Getty Images
I don't know when Prince Fielder decided to let his hair completely take over his face, but I fully support that decision.
He's got one of the best neckbeards in baseball and, as someone who can grow an epic neckbeard, real recognizes real.
He needs to just let that thing keep going to ZZ Top lengths. He'll be bigger than Brian Wilson in no time.
No. 1: Johnny Damon
Jason Miller/Getty Images
The godfather of the beard. It's more manageable now, but there was a reason we used to refer to Damon as The Caveman.
Damon is still alive and kicking in the big leagues, and, ever since he got free of the dreaded Evil Empire, he'll be rocking that beard til the day he hangs up his cleats.

Hey. I'm hoping to go somewhere warm to relax and practice Spanish a little for a week in early March, flying from Philly, Baltimore, NY, Newark, etc. Thinking about Puerto Rico or another place with good flight rates. However, this is probably the week of spring break for most schools so I imagine prices would be higher then. Any suggestions?

Go to Mexico City. I had the best time there at Casa de la Condesa and in San Angel. They have a huge market of art and crafts and it not a tourist trap at all. Very few people know English so we definitely used our Spanish and didn't have those awkward moments when the person responds in English. It looks sometimes grungy and "dangerous" but I never felt in danger. If we were lost families and people would come up to us and actually go out of their way to guide us to where we were going. There's a thriving art scene and delicious food. If you need help if you go, I can give you a lot of tips and places to go. Good Luck and have fun!!
Posted Jan 25, 2011
Add a commentThanks Lawrence. I'm actually considering this. Will get back to you if I opt for Mexico City!
Posted on Jan 25, 2011
Looks like folks hit the major ones except Cuernevaca...just outside of Mexico City. Antigua, Guatemala; of some schools in Costa Rica are the traditional ones in N. America.
Posted Jan 30, 2011
Add a commentHey James, I just answered another question the same way, but a friend just found a ticket to Nicaragua from NYC for $400 -he is going soon though, not sure about rates for March, but I would guess not many Spring breakers heading there....I have heard it is awesome.
Posted Feb 01, 2011
Add a commentMerida, Mexico (the capital of Yucatan state, the state where Cancun is located) is an easy trip from the east coast and a quaint city with some fascinating Mayan history.
Posted Jun 25, 2011
Add a commentI loved Costa Rica and thought everyone there was so friendly. The trick, however, is many of them want to practice English.
When I went to Puerto Rico, everyone spoke english.
Posted Jan 25, 2011
Add a commentGood point. I was kind of wondering about that actually...
Posted on Jan 25, 2011
Another option would be to go to Antigua, Guatemala - a beautiful little colonial city in the mountains (well, actually between a couple of volcanoes: Volcan de Agua; Volcan de Feugo) away from the urban craziness of the capital, Ciudad Guatemala. I spent a week or so in Antigua and loved it. And FYI Cafe Condesa is a fun place to get your morning coffee....
Posted Jan 27, 2011
Add a commentI'd second Costa Rica. Super friendly, affordable, stunning country.
Posted Jan 27, 2011
Add a commentOaxaca, Mexico. Great place to study Spanish, Mexican culture, THE BEST CUISINE in all of Mexico.
Posted Jan 27, 2011
Add a commentThe first place that came to mind was also Puerto Rico. Other ideas are: Costa Rica (like a few people have already suggested), Belize, and the DR.
Posted Jan 27, 2011
Add a commentMonterrey, Mexico - great people, superb cuisine. Getting bad press with the violence but was there in November when it was real bad and we had no problems. The key is the time of the day for travel. Great place to learn Spanish
Posted Jan 28, 2011
Add a commentI just got back to Costa Rica, and a good number of the people who live/work in tourist areas speak English, but they got excited when my cousin and I spoke Spanish to them. I think it's a good place to practice.
Posted Jan 31, 2011
Add a commentCheck out Costa Rica which isn't a huge spring break destination. March is its dry season so the weather should be beautiful for you to take your pick of exploring Arenal, Monteverde, Manual Antonio, Quepos, Guanacaste, among others.
Posted Feb 02, 2011
Add a commentSe Habla La Paz is a great language school in Baja. http://www.sehablalapaz.com/ They have homestays or can help arrange for hotels. I've used homeaway.com to find great apartments to rent while there. There is great kayaking and snorkeling there.
It can be expensive to fly into La Paz, but pretty cheap to fly into Cabo and then take the express bus up to La Paz. The bus picks you up right at the airport and goes directly to La Paz without stops. A great option if the flights to La Paz are outrageous.
Posted Feb 03, 2011
Add a commentThere are tons of Spanish schools in Antigua and Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, as well as Granada, Nicaragua. Reasonably priced flights (especially from NYC) and cheap costs once you are down there. Few people speak English (unlike in Puerto Rico), so you will get a great immersion experience.
Posted Apr 13, 2011
Add a commentI'm a fan of Merida, Mexico too. A lovely, clean and friendly city, 20 minutes from the beach in Progreso, and close to several of the best Mayan ruins. Beautiful parks, good food, very safe too. Also a good number of American expats and an English library. Check it out.
Posted Aug 22, 2011
Add a commentCheck flights to Liberia, Costa Rica in the Guanacaste province in the northwest. You can dive there in Coco, surf a little bit south toward Tamarindo, or bus a couple hours north to Nicaragua. In Nica, you can surf at San Juan Del Sur or go to Ometepe, the island made of 2 volcanoes in Lake Nicaragua. You'll need your Spanish much more in Nica than CR. Depends how much you want to practice. March is the end of the dry season in that northwest CR area.
Posted Sep 29, 2011
Add a commentJames, I agree with those who say everyone in Puerto Rico speaks English. Particularly if you stick to the San Juan area. I would say Costa Rica all the way. They will enjoy teaching you Spanish in exchange for some English phrases. Pura Vida fellow traveler!
Posted Aug 13, 2012
Add a commentI would say Merida too. Mexico has such amazing culture and a towns like Merida often have a vibrant zocalo (town square) with side walk cafes where you can while away the hours. Oaxaca could be a bit cold at night as it's up in the mountains (and that's the other side of Mexico). The spring break crowd is going to head to beach locations so those flights will probably be higher.

SIP Trunks Aren't Just for PSTN Access
IT managers often think of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks as a lower cost alternative to the T1/PRI trunks they use to access the PSTN. But SIP trunks provide flexible access to many more communications services than just the PSTN. These services can increase business agility, improve productivity and reduce costs.
Tue, August 20, 2013
Network World — This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach.
IT managers often think of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks as a lower cost alternative to the T1/PRI trunks they use to access the PSTN. But SIP trunks provide flexible access to many more communications services than just the PSTN. These services can increase business agility, improve productivity and reduce costs.
Many stories have been written about enterprises that have slashed millions of dollars from their telecommunications bills by moving their PSTN services to SIP trunks. This Network World article, for example, discusses how Finish Line Sports saved $2 million over three years. But enterprises should also consider using SIP trunks to access cloud communications services and federate with business partners.
In fact, these services can be much quicker and easier to deploy while providing a high ROI. Tackling one of these projects before migrating the PSTN services gives the IT staff valuable experience and prepares them to migrate mission critical PSTN access services.
The Network World article notes the complexities of moving PSTN services from T1/PRI access lines to SIP trunks. These projects require close coordination with the enterprise's legacy network service provider to ensure the SIP trunk service provides equivalent functionality, including e911 services, compatibility with fax machines and other issues.
Cloud communications services
By definition, a SIP trunk is a virtual interface that connects enterprise communications systems with each other or to a third party communications service. They can be used to access audio or video conferencing, unified communications, contact center and other services, regardless of whether they are provided by on-premise equipment or hosted in the cloud. Cloud communications services are offered by a range of providers, from major carriers to specialty service providers.
Like any cloud application, all that is needed to access a hosted communication service is an IP network connection to the service provider and a SIP-capable communications system. The public Internet may provide a suitable connection, or a private peering relationship can be established over a carrier's MPLS network. Communications system makers have widely implemented SIP standards in their IP-PBX, contact center and UC product offerings.
By investing in SIP standards-based equipment, enterprises can take advantage of a wide array of communications services accessible over IP networks. They are no longer constrained by the one-to-one lock between access and service provider that typifies legacy TDM communications services. Enterprises can quickly and easily route communications traffic to specialist providers and optimize services based on cost, geographic reach, quality and other factors.

What is the most effective method to reduce sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) populations? |
Background Information:
A sea lamprey is a parasitic fish that is native to the Atlantic Ocean and
many of its tributaries. The sea lamprey invaded the Great Lakes region in
the early 1900's via shipping canals. The sea lamprey feeds on fish by
attaching to the host with a sucking disk and sharp teeth. The sea lamprey
will drain the body fluids from the host fish, ultimately resulting in the
death of the fish. Efforts to control the sea lamprey population have been in
effect since the early 1960's. Early efforts to control populations began
with mechanical and electrical weirs and the use of a
lampricide, a chemical toxicant. Today, these efforts are combined with new
methods such as low-head barrier dams, stream velocity barriers, electrical
barriers, and sterilization of adult male sea lampreys.
Click here to download a printable student worksheet.
To get
started, do research about sea lampreys and sea lamprey control on the web:
Decision analysis is a scientific way of assessing alternatives, judging alternatives, and forecasting consequences of the alternatives. As a team, you will follow the following series of steps:
Step 1 = Define the Problem;
Step 2 = identify and agree upon management Objectives to achieve; assign weights to the objectives;
Step 3 = determine probable Alternatives
Step 4 = forecast Consequences of the options; and
Step 5 = consider the Tradeoffs and use the model to rank each option
1. Step 1 = Define the Problem. What is the problem we are trying to solve? In this activity, the problem is defined for us (hint, see the title!)
2. Step 2 = identify the Objectives. What are the goals? What should the outcome include?
assigned groups establish 4
objectives. Management objectives are those actions which are specifically related
to the problem, can be measured, and have a specified amount of time.
The objectives should be guidelines which will be used to choose an
Sample Objectives |
Objective 1 |
Objective 2 |
Objective 3 |
Objective 4 |
3. Of the objectives written, weigh the objectives in terms of importance and value. Assign a value of 1 to 10 for importance with 10 indicating the most important. Even though there are only 4 objectives, use a 10 point scale (for instance, one objective might carry much more weight than another. Rating them on a scale of 4 might not show that one objective is a lot more important). Take into consideration tangible and intangible values.
4. Step 3 = determine probable Alternatives. Read about each population reduction method (these are the alternatives). Information on sea lamprey control methods can be found at http://www.glfc.org/sealamp/how.asp (also on this page, see fact sheets for different control methods). The control methods you will evaluate for this activity are:
Alternative 1 = No Future Treatment
Alternative 2 = Barriers
Alternative 3 = Sterile Male Release
Alternative 4 = TFM
5. Step 4 = forecast Consequences of the options. What can happen in each case? Evaluate each method (alternative) for possible consequences.
List 4 consequences for each control method (alternative). You may have to think about other possible consequences than just what is listed on the web site and fact sheets! What are the possible consequences for no future control methods?
Possible Consequences |
Alternative 1: |
Alternative 2: |
Alternative 3: Sterile Male Release |
Alternative 4: TFM |
6. Step 5 = consider the Tradeoffs. What is negotiable? What parts of the alternatives are you willing to give or take? Are some consequences negotiable?
7. As the final step, evaluate each option of sea lamprey reduction and decide which reduction method you would choose based on your objectives and possible consequences. Taking into account all of the steps above, create an Objectives by Alternatives Matrix (see below) to see how well each alternative meets your objectives. Using the table below, fill in your objectives, and then rate how well each alternative meets your stated objectives (for example, how does alternative 1 meet objective 1?). Keep in mind the consequences for each alternative, and the tradeoffs you are willing to make.
You can use a scale of 1 to 5, where 1=not at all, 2=not very well, 3=somewhat, 4=pretty well, 5=very well
[write Objectives in below] | Alternative 1
No Future Treatment |
Alternative 2 Barriers |
Alternative 3 Sterile Male Release |
Alternative 4 TFM |
Objective 1
. | . | . | . |
Objective 2 | . | . | . | . |
Objective 3 | . | . | . | . |
Objective 4 | . | . | . | . |
8. Now you have numerical results of your decision. Finalize the process by subtracting the consequence value from the objective value. This will give you a number that you can compare to the other reduction methods. The method with the highest value indicates your choice of the best reduction method to use.

Together with the Lithuanian writer Ramūnas Čičelis, the results of the two month residency are shown in the exhibition
"BRIDGE: TEXT SOUND VIEW". The exhibition consists of two main parts. The "Boad Trip Diary", a audiovisual project
that is oszillating between text, sound and views. Beside this project the two artists present three soundsculptures.
Video 37min
On this disc you will see, what you have already dreamt. The content of this film is known for you, but you
still never expressed it in words or views. That´s our common illusion, which becomes real. It´s not con-
structed: Sound, view and voice is on the border of understanding.
Sound soup gourmet
Bidirectional Soundobject (Souppots, Audio transducer)
The souppot is a traditional tool of lithuanian cuisine. A lot of different ingredients get mixed together with water.
Everything get´s boiled and transformation begins. Let´s replace the water by sound. We (and the cultural things
we created, like architecture, cars, alarm signals,...) are the ingredients. We mix that all together and create our
very own spicy soundscape.
Internal portrait
Stereo Soundobject (Easel, Loudspeakers)
Two easel are placed in the room in an opposite angle. No painters can be seen. Only the sound that was
recorded before, during a painting session is hearable. The text of the writer Ramunas Cicelis gets projected
into the wooden boards for painting. Through panning of the signal a audioficial dialogue starts.
Letterbox to subconsciousness
Mono Soundobject (Metal letterbox, Audio transducer)
A letterbox is a "every day object" but only the owner/adressee and the bearer have access to it. Suddenly it
starts speaking. The content is about you and your subconsciousness.

New Golfer approves, Mar 07, 2004 |
reviewer: Harry William Reineke IV
from New Orleans, LA |
I am a very new golfer, I've only been at it for 4 weeks, but I attend Marion Military Institute, and this is a very nice course. THe superintendant is our coach, and he teaches us a lot about how each hole slopes and turns, which is nice, because he is a certified AAA instructor, and he knows our course better than anyone. ALl in all, its a very nice course, and presents a challenge to many golfers. The fairwats are seperated by trees, but dont let that fool you, you can still accidentally hit into another one. When you come off the first green, the second tee is behind the green, and the fiarway is perpendicular to #1, not parallel, thats #6. Its a common mistake, but you get used to it. The greens tend to slope all over the place, but they are nice and fast most days. All in all, nine very nice holes with raised tees and greens on a few holes. Highly recommended by me. |

Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA) is not an organisation known for its compassion or respect for cultural and religious practices and sensitivities. They did not exactly cover themselves in glory by their high-handed and brutal action at Kg Rimba Jaya and Kg Karuppiah, Padang Jawa, on Oct 31, where scores of houses, a surau and a temple were flattened to ground.
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi often laments the existence of Little Napoleons who sabotage the well-intentioned policies of the government. Well, MBSA is no Little Napoleon - it is an entire Roman Legion on the loose; rampaging and brutalising the very people they were meant to serve.
One can only wonder why MBSA is willing to act decisively and even be prepared to use force when powerful commercial interests are involved, but drags it feet and appears toothless in other more important issues of public interest. This certainly reflects very poorly upon the Selangor Menteri Besar Khir Toyo's administration.
Much has been said about the demolition of the 100-year-old (which is certainly an exaggeration) Sri Maha Mariamman temple by the MBSA and how MIC president S Samy Vellu was powerless to help the Indian community. However, the alternative media was strangely muted when the works minister managed, within days, to get both funds and land from the Selangor government to relocate and rebuild the temple.
Such selective reporting by the alternative media raises questions about its objectivity and impartiality. It also certainly gives credence to the accusations that those who expressed solidarity with the community on this issue are merely out to exploit the sentiments of the Indian community to score political points and paint the ruling coalition, especially Umno, as racist.
While I very much disagree with the high-handed tactics of MBSA, the fact remains that the residents do not have an iota of legal or ethical rights to the land they have been illegally occupying. While I am not familiar with the specifics of the case, I can guess what had probably transpired based on numerous previous instances. Truth is often the first victim when politics and emotions are involved and I don't think it was any different in this case.
In most of these cases, news reports fail to disclose the fact that the residents had been issued numerous evictions notices over the years. In many cases, the developer and the local government would have offered compensation (either in the form of money or housing) for the affected illegal squatters. Some would have taken up the offer and moved on.
However, there will be always a group of opportunists - agitated and encouraged by some NGOs and political parties - who would hold on and make outrageous and impossible demands. This group of people somehow fail to take cognisance of the fact that the offer is purely based on humanitarian grounds and the residents have no legal rights whatsoever for compensations.
In many cases, such negotiations dragged on for years. In the end, drastic actions such as demolitions were taken when the patience of the developer and the local government finally run dry. In fact, this might well be the case in Kg Rimba Jaya and Kg Karuppiah.
Now, coming back to the issue of temple demolition, I truly wish MBSA realises that demolishing a temple is an affront to the faith of the Indian community. This incident has been skilfully exploited by certain irresponsible elements, turning it into a racial and religious issue. This should serve as a lesson to all town councils and the state governments.
Interestingly, while the issue of temple demolitions in Malaysia has been given international publicity by some NGOs, such demolitions are common occurrences in India.
In fact, the relocation of the Seri Maha Mariamman temple of Kg Karuppiah is also totally unnecessary as there are more than enough temples in the vicinity of Padang Jawa/Klang area for the Hindus to fulfill their religious obligations.
The MIC and the Malaysian Hindu Sagham (MHS) are fully aware of the problem of illegal places of worship and are conducting a survey in order to "legalise" them and prevent further constructions of such illegal structures.
However, unlike the proactive efforts of the MIC and the MHS, Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) has been pursuing a destructive strategy and illegal action that would do nothing to improve the situation. Headed by individuals with a strong predilection for cheap publicity and melodrama, Hindraf has been nothing but a hindrance to an amicable and legal solution of the problem.
Hindraf's dangerous actions of confronting and obstructing the authorities, getting arrested in order to gain cheap publicity will not solve the problems of illegal temples in the country. On the contrary, such actions will put the Malaysia Hindus into a state of siege and worsen the situation.
Also Hindraf's refusal to cooperate with the MIC and the MHS in taking proactive measures exposes the fact that its leaders are merely using emotional issues in confronting society to achieve their personal agenda and are uninterested in finding a permanent solution.
Being a Hindu myself, I appeal to my fellow believers to refrain from building illegal religious structures as there are more than enough places of worship available for the community in the country. We cannot expect Samy Vellu to fight for an alternative site every time an illegal temple is demolished as there are hundreds of them and more are added daily. There are more than enough temples for Hindus to pray, and in fact I am willing to bet that in terms of per capita, there are more Hindu temples than mosques in Malaysia.
The Indian community needs to understand there is no persecution of Hindus and the blame lies solely with them for erecting places of worship without consideration to law or the sensitivities of the other communities in our multi-religious nation. Constitutional right allows us the freedom of religion but not the right to build temples wherever we wish to.

About this album
The Sophtware Slump is the second studio album by American indie rock band Grandaddy. It was released on 29 May 2000. It is seen by some as a concept album about problems concerning modern technology in society. The album was released to critical acclaim. Being their second album, the title is a reference to a sophomore slump, a term given to an artist's second album which is seen to fail to live up to the first album.
The album was reissued in 2011 with a second disc of bonus material containing B-sides, EP tracks, outtakes, and demos. The album was written and recorded by frontman Jason Lytle alone in a remote farmhouse. He has been quoted as saying, "I just remember everything out there was dusty. Humidity and dust", and described having made the recordings "in my boxer shorts, bent over keyboards with sweat dripping off my forehead, frustrated, hungover, and trying to call my coke dealer". Regarding the album's recurring android, Jed, who appears in the tracks, "Jed the Humanoid" and "Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)", Jason Lytle noted, "I used Jed as my therapy vehicle, I guess… I was attempting to approach the subject of drinking, and possibly the fact that you may perhaps drink a little bit too much. Humour has always been way up there at the top of my list of dealing with anything that could be considered serious. Sometimes you don't wanna be smacked in the face with certain bits of reality like that."

The big 2010 hedge-fund merger of Man Group PLC and GLG Partners Inc. may have been among the biggest moves Man Group CEO Peter Clarke made, but now he's being replaced by the executive the deal brought in.
Man Group said today that Clarke will retire next year and step down from the board. The move comes amid a drop at the Man Group flagship fund, AHL, and a drop in Man Group's own share price. Investors had been agitating for change, and Clarke had worked on cutting costs and improving results.
Now he'll be replaced by Emmanuel Roman, who had been co-CEO of GLG when it was purchased by Man Group for $1.6 billion.
It is not as if the GLG merger has been everything the two hoped it would be. When they struck the deal, Roman said he expected new investor bases would fuel growth at the funds, instead client funds have flowed out.
Much of the blame last year year could be placed at GLG's feet. As Heard on the Street colleague Hester Plumridge wrote: "Worryingly, the main source of Man's troubles is GLG, the New York hedge-fund manager it acquired for $1.6 billion last year in a bid to diversify its product range and reduce reliance on main fund AHL. GLG alternative and long-only funds were responsible for $3 billion in negative investment performance in the last quarter and most of Man's $2.6 billion in net outflows."
But while GLG hasn't quite lived up to expectations, Man Group's shares plunged, dropping 39% this year and halving since March, as the market appeared to tire of Clarke and the AHL performance.
Monday's reaction says the market believes the acquired Roman may do a better job: Man Group shares in London rose 5%.
