"Close to the Airport"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
It was a pleasant, clean and modern place to stay before we left Italy the next morning. The free shuttle service to the airport was a nice perk. The evening reception desk person was very friendly and also gave us great advise of a good place to eat in the area.

Made famous by 'La Dolce Vita' film in 1960, the Via Veneto is going through a glamorous renaissance. Bars, restaurants, chic hotels and boutiques all vie for attention in the street which coined the expression 'paparazzo' – the surname of the photojournalist in the film. Nearby, the Spanish Steps are the place for lovers' trysts, shopping, and honing the Italian art of 'dolce far niente' – idling and people-watching.

"old school italian, too old."
Very Nice staff.... very helpful, and positive That said, its an old hotel. with old plumbing, septic, rugs, blah blah. I paid for a big bed,(the hotel is already waay overpriced to be this OLD) but because i was one person they tried to put me in a single. Im 6'3, so after a big protest, they found another room. dark and old, two single were put together […] to become a king? ugh. but a bed i could sleep in. A shower that i was bigger than, made the whole room a mess. Just not for me. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Better than average in the area"
Better than average hotels in Termini area... It really doesn't say much. Termini is a very poor area. The closer you get to the station, the worse it gets. The attention at front desk is good. The room was clean. The bathroom was small, but functional. Would I came back? I am not sure. I will probable consider an hotel further away from the station, […] even if this implicates the need to take taxi when I need to carry the luggage. Any other time, public transportation is good anywhere in Rome. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Close to everything. Near metro, bus and good food"
I loved staying at Turner and my trip to Rome. I did all the city by foot. If you like to eat good pastas and good pizzas, go to te little restaurants near the fontana di trevi. Loved the pantheon and the coliseum.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome Hotel"
Business or Leisure in my opinion. I didn't get on my flight and I needed a convenient hotel to stay at for the night that was close to the main train station in Rome an that had wifi. I found Hotel Turner had a single room for 56$ and it fit my requirements so I booked it. I was expecting no-frills, just a basic hotel. I got lost getting there, because […] I was in a rush and hadn't looked up proper directions, so I walked into a hotel to ask for a map and directions. It was really fancy and I was so pleased that they were even willing to help me. Funny story - it ended up being hotel turner where I had my reservation. I was shocked that I got such a cheap room at such an awesome place. The staff was very helpful, breakfast included (didn't eat it, but it was available!) free wifi all over the hotel, they even had a lounge with an available desktop computer for use, on the roof they have a very charming patio with chairs and and inside bar. My room was perfect for what I needed. Small, but one person doesn't need much room. And if I wanted to spread out then, the down stairs lounge was available. Overall, I had a great stay there. it was a charming hotel, with a convenient location. not in the heart of things (which I don't particularly enjoy) but so close to the station with all the and buses and even right outside their place the 60 bus which goes to the other main bus area in the city.

Great service, clean rooms, the biggest downside was that there were two twin mattresses pushed together to make out queen bed so we were falling through the crack the whole time. Location is great, close to the bus stop and not far from termini station.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel and very Friendly"
Great Hotel and very friendly Staff. Though we only spoke English they did a great job of helping us get going in the right direction and even got a cab for us when needed.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful hotel with old world charm."
Hotel staff is very helpful and knowledgable about buses, trains, restaurants, etc. Hotel interior is absolutely gorgeous (I've never seen so many types of marble!) and room was always well kept with no disturbances from any persistent house keepers, although room had a funky smell that wouldn't go away. Free breakfast in the morning was a plus- juice, […] coffee, pastries, yogurt, etc. all was very tasty. A short walk to a local super market, pizzeria, and gelatoria. I would definitely recommend this hotel to a friend and if my travels ever put me in Rome for a night again, I would be happy to stay here once more. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"just ok"
Hotel experience was ok , just ok. Very very small rooms and tiny bathroom.Genuine Expedia guest review
My daughter and I were traveling together. When we checked in, we went to our room only to discover that instead of the two twin beds we requested when we booked, we had one twin bed. We went back down to the desk where we got an arguement. She showed me a paper that said one or two twin beds. I showed her mine that said two twin beds. The reservation […] was for two adults. After about a half hour, she reluctantly gave us another room. The second room was not nearly as nice as the first one (not withstanding the bed situation). It looked like the hotel was originally two different hotels that were later combined. Half of the hotel was nowhere near as nice as indicated on the hotels.com website. Our room was in the worse half. The room was small but OK. The bathroom was uncomfortably tiny. The shower was so small you could barely stand in it without touching the walls. The location of the hotel wasn't bad but very far from all the places we wanted to go. We would not stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Andrea Farnya Visit -April 2012"
Generally the hotel was GOOD in terms of Quality of Staff Service, in case of any information or any place needed, the room service and their staff were perfect as well and i thanks them very much, the hotel location is ideal as it's near to city center which make things easy for me to access any location i'd like to visit. and the breakfast is very […] good. well every thing was ok except the WIFI access as the internet connection was all time failed or disconnected or sometimes so slow when i'm connected, on which i hope you will consider this non-official complain to work to fix it. Lately, if the occasion to come to Roma another time i'd prefer have my stay with you. Thank you & regards. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Turner Hotel"
This was our second stay here. The staff is polite, friendly, and helpful. The rooms are nice and very clean. The roof top terrace/bar (new since our last visit in 2004) is a nice place to relax in the evening after a long day of sight seeing. The array of breakfast foods was excellent and well stocked. It included cooked foods such as eggs and ham, […] in addition to the traditional rolls, pasteries, cheese, and meats. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Could not have asked for a better stay"
I could not have asked for a better experience. Expedia gave me an incredible deal (I paid approximately the price of two nights, for a seven nigh stay). The hotel is four stars, but it could easily be five. Porta Pia / Nomentano is a great location, connected by buses to major landmarks in the city, as well as a metro stop (Castro Pretorio), a five […] minute walk away. The room and bathroom were small, of course, but very typical of European accommodation size standards. The decor is elegant and beautiful. My only objections were to the breakfast and to the limited bathroom supplies provided by housekeeping. The breakfast, if not included, is expensive, and either way is of mediocre quality and limited selection. The housekeeping service did a very good job cleaning the room, but I twice ran out of soap and toilet paper from their failure to replenish it. Service at the hotel was excellent, with most of the staff proficient in English, German, Spanish, and French. Be aware that because it's a four star hotel, you will have a 3 euro / night charge, which is a city preservation tax for your stay. Highly recommend this hotel! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel!"
This is a historic building with lots of charm. Great location and easy access to bus lines to go to all the sites in Rome. The hotel staff went out of their way on several occasions to ensure our stay was the best. Would stay at the Turner Hotel next trip to Rome!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Average hotel."
Hotel is in a good location. Staff on the front desk was, at times, unwilling to help and just plain rude. In it's time it would have been nice, but it now seems to be a little rundown. Maybe it's time for refurbishing.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel"
Hotel is nice.Staff is kind . I like the location of the hotel. It is in Via Nomantana . Only 15 min walk to Piazza Rebublica and Termini. We would be back again.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Nice open surrounding area, fancy old fashion"
Conviniente location for buses stop that will take you almost everywhere to touristic attractions. Hotel was clean and neat. Friendly staff. Great breakfast, just gets a little crowded. Surprinsly clean and smelling good for being an old building. Could only freshen bed sheets a little more, but we love it!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"1 star, not even!"
When the concierge opened the door of our room it was damp, smelly and unbelievable. The bathroom fixtures used to be gold ages ago, now they were all scratched, and worse than that the water would barely come out of the faucets. The shower was one of the cheap ones you can find better versions of it in motel 6 or alike...Can not believe how they can […] claim 4 starts, while the quality of the room was next to zero star. The only star we are willing to give this place is for the welcoming staff. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good for Price"
Room was smaller than what was shown on Expedia site, different than what picture showed on Expedia. Shower was too small and no sunlight into the room. Some staff were helpful but others did not understand english. Hotel has great terrace on roof which made it easy to relax on a sunny day.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Historic Hotel not far Center of Rome"
The hotel is walking distance to the central train station in a quiet neighborhood. The property is well maintained, clean rooms, friendly staff, good breakfast buffet. I would recommend this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Faded Belle Époque Glory"
If you like aggressive gilt and bordello brocade (and I do) The Hotel Turner is an excellent choice. It's clearly a hotel that has seen better days, but the rooms are clean, the bed comfortable, the towels fluffy and the decor fabulous. Don't expect the wifi to, you know, "work." That said, it's just about as far from everywhere you want to go as it […] can be and still be in Rome. The neighborhood feels like the Upper East Side and Washington DC had a love child, but I suppose even Rome needs to put its Ministry of Agriculture somewhere. To the left is an excellent pizza place. The gorgonzola and mushroom slice will go toes up to Jesus in your mouth. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nothing special"
Turner hotel was a lot less nice than I'd hoped it would be. It looked really good for the price when I booked. However: - there were bugs in the bed! I acquired about ten pretty big and conspicuous insect bites in bed over two days. Three days on they're still there and painful to the touch. Yeah. - The internet was almost non-existent. There was […] a pretty cumbersome username/password scheme to access the wireless, but the big problem really is that the connection speed was worthless, (and the connection kept dropping) even to check email. Forget about anything more bandwidth intensive. - The location: it's not too bad, but you should be aware that this place is at the north/east edge of central Rome where all the sites are. From it to Palatine or the Colosseum (southern edge) is about 3 km, while St. Peters or the Vatican museum (eastern edge) are a bit more than 5 km away. Mind you, the walks involved are quite pleasant and take you through the heart of Rome, so if you enjoy walking it's a perfectly adequate place to stay. Still, if you prefer being more central you should pick something else. - The good: the rooms actually do look nice. Marble and gilded panels and such. The breakfast is sumptuous. They don't hit you with hidden charges. Overall, I'm pretty sure you can find something better / more central at this price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Vexingly Roman"
I was not amused by the Turner hotel at all. Yes, the location is not bad, but it could be better. Yes, it has free internet, but it can be quite moody and it's on and off. The staff is certainly friendly but when one is paying for four star service one does not expect a room that can be generously described as an elegantly decorated cupboard. My […] two cents, pick a different place. It is absolutely not worth your money. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Turner Hotel Rome -OK with caveats"
The hotel was certainly well priced. The room had the basics and was clean. I was disappointed that the promised WiFi did not work in my room. To their credit the person at the desk had a bellman walk me to a few other rooms to check - and was willing to move me if one was better - but none was. So I had to go sit in the lobby anytime I wanted to be […] on-line. Also note that there are a number of bus lines right outside the door but metro stops are a bit of a walk Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"When in Rome"
We we're delayed getting a flight out of Rome and needed to stay an extra night. Turner Hotel Rome was an easy solution close to the train and very affordable. Enough that we had the time and Euro left over for a nice dinner and even better, a last minute ticket at the Borghese Galleries, plan ahead and don't miss this site! The Turner was pleasant […] but may be suffering economically. The room was clean but not as sparkling as accustomed in Sicily BnBs. An earlier review of the Turner noted a remarkable hearty European breakfast. I was satisfied but fresh fruit was substituted by fruit cocktail from a can, juice was from concentrate, and pastries were not quite fresh. Recommended but not to enhance a Roman holiday.

"The worst hotel I have ever been in"
We were supposed to get a room with two beds, but instead with got a smalll! room with a queen bed and a small window to a dark patio with no ventilation. The room was boiling hot and the whole 3 days that we were there, the air condition was broken!! The breakfast was of the lowest quality and everything tasted really bad. The shower was toooo small […] that there were no place to move your arms to wash your hair!!! The only good thing about this hotel was that it was clean. I would never stay there again or recommend it to anyone. I guess this hotel equals a two-star hotel!!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Horrible In Rome"
This was not a 4 star hotel except for maybe the wallpaper. We had 3 rooms. We had to change our rooms because the air conditioning was not working. We moved but the room was hardly better.

"Expected More...Received Less"
My wife and I recently stayed in Hotel Turner Rome. Let me preface this review by saying that I am not the type of person that has a rough time at a hotel, does not let the management try to solve the issues, and then blasts the hotel in the review. My wife and I were excited about the hotel because we got a decent deal on it, it had relatively positive […] reviews, and it was in a great location. Upon arriving at the hotel we were greeted cordially by a staff member and our bags were brought to our room. We arrived in the morning and apparently that is the time when repairs are normally done on the building, so there was a terrible hammering noise while we tried to sleep. I asked the desk if they could move us to another room or assist in any way and the gentleman said he would, but the hammering continued. We could not sleep and left the hotel. Later when we went to shower, it was clear that the shower had not been cleaned in a while. There was mildew in the shower and a black grime at the bottom of the shower curtain. I informed the desk about this issue and was told it would be cleaned. After we returned to our room later that night, the shower was the same. Overall, we were pleased with the free wife (even though it didn't work in our room), the free breakfast, and the hotel's location; however, I would not stay there again. The hotel would be better served with more attentive staff and renovations to the hotel and its facilities. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
We were expecting a small full size bed but the bed appeared to be two connected twin beds which appeared as king size bed. It was comfortable. Inside looked nice, it had a refrigrator which was helpful for us to store my daughter's milk. They also provided us a crib even though we had not asked for one. It was very close to bus station so it was very […] easy to use bus. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Lovely hotel in Rome"
We are extremely satisfied with the hotel. Parking is easy in front of the hotel. It cost us only ~12Euro for the whole day (must buy the parking ticket from the TABAC shop nearby). All staffs are very helpful and friendly (night and morning staff). We have 9 people (2 babies) in 2 rooms and they are lovely decorated. On the first day, we park the car […] in the hotel and we took taxi to go to Vatican, and other places. As the hotel is very central, the taxi cost us only 10 Euro one way. Since we were there during Christmas, we have Christmas dinner in the hotel. The food was not bad. Overall, it was a very memorable experience and I fully recommend the hotel to all kind of travellers (by the way, the price that we got is very reasonable). Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Where do I put my clothes"
Just one poky inconvenient cupboard to store my clothes. With such a shortage of space: get rid of TV, minibar and writing desk - how many use them anyway. PRIORITY: put in a decent wardrobe with shelving.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Highly recommended for a city break"
Very accommodating staff. Very helpful and keen to make my stay pleasant. The bathroom in my room was a little bit too small and quite outdated. Hotel needs to invest more in amenities; I found it quite annoying that the hotel was unable to supply a functioning hair dryer and I had to rely on the one affixed to the wall. Breakfast service very efficient […] but could do with a wider choice. Location wise , I had no problem walking to the main sites and there is a fabulous restaurant not too far away from the hotel serving lovely wine and amazing food Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Make sure you get the best room possible"
The turner hotel's picture are pretty accurate It does have a lovely old Italian feel about it. Its the opposite directions to the other attractions which was a bit of pain after a long days walking to go back to the hotel to change. But overall I liked this Hotel and would consider staying again. I have booked 3 nights are the start of the week but […] then returned for a final night before flying home, booking the same quality of room. But the rooms were very different quality. I think I would be much more positive about my stay if the 3 nights had been in the 1st stays room. It was so much nicer I cannot advise you more to check out other rooms before settling like other reviews had advised. Higher up rooms are so much nices, I was in 104 to start then 116 later, 116 was lovely. 104 was just ok Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good Hotel"
One member of staff was particularly helpful. Others really needed to learn to smile, but we found this in most places around Rome. The hotel was beautifully decorated but the rooms needed some attention. There was thick dust all over the floor and side cabinets. Bathroom was OK. Fantastic breakfast with fresh pastries and great coffee. Would have suited […] us better if the hotel was a little nearer the main attractions. Also no open bus tour stop nearby.

"it is a good place to stay"
Everything was great! In term of location, I would walk all the way to city center or take the bus that is right infront the hotel. The room I had is pretty quiet, so I slept pretty well. Except the Stand shower room it seems broken before, instead of having glasses wall, it covered by a shower curtain and is very small (I can't bend down, I am slim […] too), so everytime I took a shower, the whole floor got wet. But it got clean every day morning quickly. For wifi, the wifi is working fine, except the signal is really weak 1-2/5, so there is some disconnection sometimes. But overall, I like this hotel.

The first day they gave me a internal room that it wasn't good at all.wifi internet didn't worked for 3 days,i couldn't do my job,but after 3 days they fixed the problem with internet and they gave me a better room.so everything was better.The position of the hotel is very good with a bus stop in 5metres to go downtown.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The largest of the U.S. states east of the Mississippi River and the youngest of the 13 former English colonies, Georgia was founded in 1732, at which time its boundaries were even larger—including much of the present-day states of Alabama and Mississippi. By the mid-19th century, Georgia had the greatest number of plantations of any state in the South, and in many respects epitomized plantation culture and economic dependence on slavery. In 1864, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman invaded Georgia, captured Atlanta and began his infamous March to the Sea, cutting a 200-mile-wide swath of fire and destruction reaching all the way to Savannah. Georgia's landscape varies greatly as it sweeps from the Appalachian Mountains in the north to the marshes of the Atlantic coast on the southeast to the Okefenokee Swamp on the south. Georgia is the country's number-one producer of peanuts, pecans and peaches, and vidalia onions, known as the sweetest onions in the world, can only been grown in the fields around Vidalia and Glennville. Another sweet treat from the Peach State is Coca-Cola, which was invented in Atlanta in 1886.
Date of Statehood: January 2, 1788
Capital: Atlanta
Population: 9,687,653 (2010)
Size: 59,425 square miles
Nickname(s): Peach State; Empire State of the South
Motto: Wisdom, Justice and Moderation
Tree: Live Oak
Flower: Cherokee Rose
Bird: Brown Thrasher
Interesting Facts
- Although initially conceived of by James Oglethorpe as a refuge for London's indebted prisoners, Georgia was ultimately established in 1732 to protect South Carolina and other southern colonies from Spanish invasion through Florida.
- The 13th and last of the British colonies, Georgia was the only one to be governed remotely by a Board of Trustees in London for the first 20 years. It was also the only colony to prohibit slavery from its inception—along with lawyers and Roman Catholics.
- In September of 1906, a race riot broke out in Atlanta after newspaper reports of black men allegedly assaulting white women. Although the attacks were never confirmed, thousands of angry white men gathered downtown, killing dozens of blacks and causing extensive damage to many black-owned businesses. The riot made both national and international headlines and influenced the subsequent statewide passage of prohibition in 1908.
- Georgia was the first of 10 states to vote against ratification of the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. Even after it became federal law on August 26, 1920, Georgia women were prevented from voting until 1922. The state legislature did not officially ratify the amendment until 1970.
- In 1957, Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights advocates formed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in Atlanta. Dedicating themselves to the nonviolent attainment of equal rights for African Americans, the group was a significant contributor to the civil rights movement and continues to be active on social justice issues.

Comments about prAna Large Headband:
Love this headband. It is light weigh fabric and thick so it stays on my head during long runs and keeps my hair off my face. Further, it doesn't slide off like so many of my other headbands. It also works well to wipe sweat off my face in hot weather. Washes up well too. Now that it's half price, I'll buy it in bulk.

Lapland boss fails to appear at court
4:44pm Friday 18th February 2011 in News
THE BOSS of a failed winter wonderland family attraction has again failed to attend court because of his continuing fight against cancer.
Victor Mears, 66, who has been advised not to travel more than 30 miles from the Royal Sussex Hospital in Brighton after suffering kidney failure, will undergo a further operation within weeks, a court heard.
He was behind Lapland New Forest at Matchams, near Ringwood, which was meant to be a magical winter wonderland featuring snowy scenes, real log cabins, a nativity scene and husky dogs.
But after it opened on November 29, customers who had paid up to £30 a ticket claimed log cabins were a few green painted sheds, the nativity scene was a billboard in a muddy field and the tunnel of light was a "joke".
They also reported long queues to meet Father Christmas and fighting elves.
Within days customers were demanding their money back and 5,000 people complained to trading standards. The park shut on December 4.
Council trading standards chiefs have brought nine charges against him and younger brother Henry, who was an officer of the company.
Henry, 59, did attend yesterday's magistrates' court hearing, but he was not legally obliged to enter a plea at this stage of proceedings.
Both brothers will now appear before a district judge, at Bournemouth Magistrates' Court, in November, when they are due to enter pleas.
The pair, from Brighton, West Sussex, face charges relate to misleading adverts and the way in which the event was run.
Gary Lucie, prosecuting, told magistrates the council would like the case committed to the crown court.
Magistrates can only impose a maximum £5,000 fine, whereas the crown court can impose a custodial sentence or an unlimited fine.
Wimborne magistrates, who remanded the pair on unconditional bail for committal proceedings, insisted medical evidence be presented should Victor Mears find it impossible to attend the November hearing.

'MoBay Nite Out' to return — Mayor Harris
BY HORACE HINES Observer West reporter MONTEGO BAY, St James
Thursday, July 26, 2012
MAYOR of Montego Bay Glendon Harris has promised to reintroduce the once popular 'MoBay Nite Out', in time for the upcoming winter tourist season.
"I am putting a committee together. I have started out with a few persons but acting upon recommendation we are going to expand the committee to include other persons," Harris told the Observer West. "So as soon as they have done their ground work then we will announce a start-up date and it's definitely going to be before December 15."
'MoBay Nite Out', a street party, once held along Gloucester Avenue popularly known as the 'hip strip' in the resort city during the 1990s on Monday nights, was discontinued following charges from some hoteliers that the event was severely affecting the flow of traffic on several roadways.
"We started it in the 1990s and it was stopped in the wake of complaints from some hoteliers about the blocking of the road when in truth it (the roads) weren't really blocked, we made it into a one way," the mayor explained.
Harris stressed that apart from its entertainment value the event will provide economic opportunities for many local vendors when it returns to the 'hip strip'.
".....So the event will provide economic opportunities for the different people............. the restaurants, the shops, up-and-coming artistes will get some exposure as well," Mayor Harris pointed out. "We will have the general populace getting something to do on a Monday night as they will get to lime and enjoy themselves. When people are relaxed they perform better."
Mayor Harris was speaking with the Observer West during the inaugural staging Caribbean Shrimp Festival held at the Whitter Village in Ironshore, recently.
Harris commended the organisers of the festival, pointing to the slew of benefits that can be derived for the staging of such events.
"Events like these which expose culture, widen knowledge, give persons somewhere to go, utilising people's entrepreneurial ability, will definitely create wealth and productivity within our society," said Harris, who is also the People's National Party's councillor for Maroon Town Division.
Meanwhile, despite the heavy rains which threatened to wash out the event, scores of patrons from a wide cross section of the society, streamed into the venue where they were treated to top-class entertainment and a diversity of shrimp delights.

Jeevan, V K J; Majumdar, Kamalendu (INFLIBNET Centre, February 20, 1999)[more][less]
Abstract: The Central Library at IIT Kharagpur is continuously exploring new IT tools and techniques for better information organization and services. The entire collection details (OPAC) are computerized and can be accessed from the Campus LANIERNET WANl Internet IWWW. The OPAC menu also keeps the Institute users informed about other details like campus academic activities, continuing education programmes and the staff directory. Now since these details are being accessed through the library website (cental library link of http://www.iitkgp.ernet.in) any person through a computer connected to the internet can access them. Besides OPAC, a CD-ROM network facilitating access to the earlier stand alone databases subscribed in the Electronic Library, is commissioned and this facility developed with distributed access in mind could also be accessed by any Internet machine, subject to high bandwidth connectivity and shared access arrangements/ copyright restrictions. The basic steps of designing web server for library applications and connectivity aspects of internet will be stressed upon. The paper will summarise the local developments and suggest an illustrative account for Indian libraries to migrate from computerised to Internet services and to emerge as workable digital libraries in the long run.

Assembling the USA Dream Team We Wish Played in the 2013 WBC
The 2013 WBC nearly gave fans of Team USA—a dream team of sorts—a nightmare instead.
Team USA certainly had fans chomping down their fingernails before rallying with seven runs in the final two innings in their game against Canada on Sunday afternoon.
Facing elimination and a 3-2 deficit after seven innings, Team USA's offense finally came to life, the big blow coming when center fielder Adam Jones delivered a two-run double to give the USA a 4-3 lead. In the ninth, first baseman Eric Hosmer delivered the knockout blow with a bases-clearing double to put the game away.
The late offense was certainly the key for the Americans. However, the position they put themselves in early on in the tournament couldn't help but make one wonder—what could Team USA have been like if the sport's greatest stars actually competed?
In 1992, the U.S. put together the original Dream Team, a star-studded basketball team made up of the NBA's biggest stars at the time. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley were just some of the names on that team. Together, they crushed their opponents by an average of over 40 points per game on their way to a gold medal.
Think for a second what a dream team could look like when assembling the best baseball players for Team USA.
Here is a look at how that team might look.
Note: The USA dream team will be a 25-man roster rather than the 28-man roster currently in place for the WBC.
Starting Pitcher: Justin Verlander
Doug Pensinger/Getty Images
Just after arriving at camp for the Detroit Tigers in Lakeland, Fla. in early February, starting pitcher Justin Verlander declined the invitation to play for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Verlander didn't want to add more to his plate after throwing over 260 innings between the regular season and postseason last year.
Via John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press:
"I don't want to have to feel rushed to catch up to where I need to be," Verlander said. "I want to be able to do it the right way."
Verlander was alluding to the timing of the WBC and the fact that he would have to start preparing earlier than normal during the offseason. Considering his workload last year, his decision was understandable.
Still, imagine if Verlander had been the starting pitcher in Game 1. That's a pretty good way to give your opponent a scare.
Starting Pitcher: Clayton Kershaw
Rob Tringali/Getty Images
Just before the start of the 2013 WBC, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw talked about his disappointment in not being able to represent his country.
According to Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles:
"That's a huge honor to get to do that. I would have loved to," Kershaw said. "I think I owed it to the team to show I was healthy in spring training, even though I had two starts at 100 percent last year. I wanted to come in and show I'm 100 percent great and I know they didn't feel great about me going.
"Hopefully, in four years I'll get the honor to do it again, but I'll definitely have regrets watching it."
Kershaw was of course referring to the hip issues that cropped up last year that caused the Dodgers much anguish. Kershaw was diagnosed with a right hip impingement and was cleared to return to duty, looking sharp in his final two starts of the season.
Having both of the 2011 Cy Young Award winners at the top of the Team USA rotation, with Justin Verlander and Kershaw, would have indeed been frightening.
Starting Pitcher: R.A. Dickey
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
If going with a dream team for a starting rotation, why not just continue with Cy Young Award winners?
R.A. Dickey is of course a member of the current Team USA team already. However, having him pitch the third game of Round 1 after other teams in the pool faced two straight fireballers would have been a nice touch.
If Dickey's knuckleball proved to be ineffective, as it did in Game 1 of the first round against Mexico, the United States could have come right back with another Cy Young Award-winning pitcher.
Starting Pitcher: David Price
Jared Wickerham/Getty Images
As mentioned in the previous slide, if R.A. Dickey faltered in Game 3 of the first round—using our theoretical dream team, of course—Team USA manager Joe Torre could have turned to another Cy Young pitcher in David Price.
Price, however, indicated back in December he would not be available for the WBC, commenting at the time that he didn't believe he would be allowed to participate by the Tampa Bay Rays.
Price, piggybacking on Dickey, would have been absolutely ideal for Team USA, giving them a knockout duo for Game 3 in Round 1.
Starting Pitcher: Jered Weaver
Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images
With the pitch limits instituted for the WBC, the need for extra starting pitchers was almost a necessity.
We saw a perfect example of that with Team USA in Game 2 against Italy on Saturday. Starter Ryan Vogelsong pitched four effective innings, followed by reliever Jeremy Affeldt. Then, manager Joe Torre turned to starting pitcher Ross Detwiler. Detwiler delivered four flawless innings to preserve the victory for the Americans and help save the bullpen in the process.
That's why starting pitcher Jered Weaver would be a perfect candidate as a backup to either Justin Verlander or Clayton Kershaw in either of the first two games. In our dream-team scenario, of course.
Weaver also cited the timing of the tournament as the reason for him not considering to be a part of the team.
Via Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register:
"The guys they want out there are the guys that throw 220-plus innings," Weaver said. "Those guys want the down time in the offseason to recuperate. As great as it would to wear the red white and blue – I did in '02 (in the Pan Am Games), there is no better feeling - but it's a tough thing to have to be ready for.
"Your first priority is to be here for your organization. It's not to say you don't want to be there for your country, but there are some other things to be prepared for that."
Timing is everything. If the WBC was actually scheduled for another time, Weaver is absolutely my No. 5 starter.
Catcher: Buster Posey
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
The roster for Team USA includes three catchers, two of whom hit over .300 last season.
But adding the 2012 National League MVP Award winner would have been the obvious choice.
Buster Posey considered participating at one time, but decided back in January to skip the WBC and concentrate on spring training with the Giants.
With Posey's two championships in three seasons along with his MVP Award, he would have been the clear choice behind the plate. Having that kind of winning mentality would have been terrific for Team USA as well.
First Base: Prince Fielder
Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images
Detroit Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder never committed to playing in the WBC, and he wasn't going to accept an invitation as an injury replacement.
Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer ended up taking over for Mark Teixeira, who injured his wrist in batting practice prior to Game 1 of the first round.
But in a dream-team scenario, I'll take Fielder at first any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Second Baseman: Dustin Pedroia
Al Bello/Getty Images
Dustin Pedroia was set to represent Team USA for the 2009 WBC before he strained his oblique prior to the start of the tournament.
The Boston Red Sox let it be known they were not keen on Pedroia playing this time around, either.
With Pedroia still recovering from finger injuries, the Red Sox let Team USA know that they would have concerns with Pedroia being selected for the team.
Pedroia's style of play—gutsy, compassionate, all-out on every play—is perfect for international competition.
Third Base: David Wright
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
David Wright is the current starting third baseman for Team USA in the 2013 WBC.
He would have been the right choice in a dream-team scenario as well.
Wright absolutely loves competing for the red, white and blue. It was Wright's two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning in the second round of the 2009 WBC against Puerto Rico that sent Team USA to the semifinals.
And it was Wright's grand-slam home run on Saturday against Italy that propelled the Americans to their first win in this WBC, enabling them to play Canada for the right to move on to the second round.
Yes, Wright is the right choice for the dream team as well.
Shortstop: Ian Desmond
Hunter Martin/Getty Images
Jimmy Rollins represented Team USA so well in the 2009 WBC that he was invited back this year as well. It made perfect sense.
But the dream team shortstop would be Ian Desmond.
Desmond sparkled last season despite missing 30 games, hitting .292 with 25 home runs and 73 RBI, winning the Silver Slugger Award in the process.
With a stacked dream-team lineup, Desmond could have been a terrific choice hitting toward the bottom of the order for manager Joe Torre.
Left Field: Ryan Braun
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Team USA already has their dream team left fielder currently playing in Ryan Braun.
With back-to-back top-two finishes in National League MVP Award balloting, Braun has absolutely become one of the elite and most feared sluggers in the majors.
Braun could be playing in future WBC tournaments as well. He hit .381 in the 2009 WBC and is currently hitting .308 through the first round.
Center Field: Mike Trout
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Without question Mike Trout is the choice in center field for a theoretical dream Team USA.
Trout made the decision not to participate in the WBC back in January, stating his desire to participate in a full and normal spring training for the Los Angeles Angels.
Considering that Ian Desmond replaces Jimmy Rollins on the dream team for the Americans, Trout would have been the perfect leadoff batter hitting in front of Dustin Pedroia, Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Buster Posey and David Wright.
Right Field: Josh Hamilton
Rick Scuteri-USA TODAY Sports
Josh Hamilton has yet to participate in the World Baseball Classic. He would be my choice to play right field on a USA dream team.
The 2010 American League batting champ and MVP Award winner is working on settling in with his new team, the Los Angeles Angels.
However, Hamilton would be an outstanding option as an added slugger facing off against world competition.
Designated Hitter: Giancarlo Stanton
Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
The USA dream team has thus far been stocked with a little bit of everything—power, speed and on-base capabilities. For the role of designated hitter, Giancarlo Stanton tips the scales with the added power.
Stanton hasn't done much in the current WBC with his 0-for-7 performance. Manager Joe Torre elected to sit Stanton for Team USA's final Round 1 game against Canada.
Still, Stanton's power can be a big neutralizer. With the current format of the WBC, just one prodigious blast can change the course of a game and the chances for the USA.
Closer: Craig Kimbrel
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Team USA closer Craig Kimbrel has thus far only been used once, pitching a perfect ninth inning on Sunday against Canada, striking out two in the process.
Kimbrel is the logical choice for a USA dream team. As a matter of fact, Kimbrel is the logical choice for just about any dream team under any format.
Setup Man: Eric O'Flaherty
Daniel Shirey-USA TODAY Sports
In his four seasons with the Atlanta Braves, reliever Eric O'Flaherty has been outstanding, becoming one of the best left-handed relievers in all of baseball.
O'Flaherty was lights out in 2011, posting a 0.98 ERA in 78 appearances. He followed up with another stellar effort last season as well with a 1.73 ERA in 64 appearances.
O'Flaherty has worked in concert with closer Craig Kimbrel with the Atlanta Braves. The two would be a natural fit for a USA dream team as well.
Relief: Jason Motte
Peter G. Aiken-USA TODAY Sports
St. Louis Cardinals closer Jason Motte led the National League with 42 saves last season, establishing himself as a premier ninth-inning man.
Considering the type of format that currently exists with the WBC, runs are at a premium in the first round. It's incumbent upon teams to make sure they have a favorable run differential if they're tied with another team in their pool at the end of the first round.
Having multiple closers is simply a sound strategy, setting up each late inning with a different closer for the best possible run-prevention blueprint. Having Motte on a USA dream team simply gives them another shutdown option in order to preserve that run differential.
Relief: Mike Adams
Derick Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
With a 1.98 ERA in the last five seasons, no one has been more effective in relief than Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Mike Adams.
With run prevention at a premium, Adams is a logical choice for a USA dream team bullpen.
Adams has been recovering from surgery to repair thoracic outlet syndrome, but has been effective thus far for the Phillies in spring training. Adams has allowed just two hits with two strikeouts in three appearances thus far.
Sounds like he could have been useful for a theoretical dream team.
Relief: Jim Johnson
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
It would probably be a sin not to include last year's most successful closer, in terms of saves, on the USA dream team.
Jim Johnson had a magical season for the Baltimore Orioles with 51 saves and a 2.49 ERA.
For a tournament that requires shutdown performances because of the wealth of talent on other international squads, Johnson would be a solid selection based on his performance last season.
Relief: Jonathan Papelbon
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
Can a team ever have enough good relief? Not on a theoretical dream team.
The USA dream team already has a star-studded bullpen without adding closer Jonathan Papelbon to the mix.
Adding Papelbon and his bulldog mentality would be a great idea. Papelbon now has seven consecutive seasons with at least 30 saves, without question one of the most reliable and successful closers in baseball over that span of time.
Relief: Luke Gregerson
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
San Diego Padres relief pitcher Luke Gregerson was a great choice to represent Team USA in the 2013 WBC.
He'd be a great choice for the USA dream team as well.
Gregerson has been outstanding over the past two years with the Padres, posting a 2.39 ERA last year in 77 appearances. He has seen action in just one game thus far for Team USA, posting one perfect inning.
Relief: David Hernandez
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
In filling out the bullpen for a USA dream team, I would want to add a pitcher who can simply overpower batters.
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher David Hernandez definitely qualifies for that role.
Hernandez posted a terrific 12.9 K/9 rate in 72 appearances last year for the Diamondbacks, posting a 2.50 ERA and 1.02 WHIP.
Hernandez saw action in just one game in the first round for Team USA, giving up a run on three hits in 0.2 of an inning.
That doesn't take away from the fact that Hernandez is deserving of a spot.
Bench Player: Andrew McCutchen
Leon Halip/Getty Images
Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen is another of the rising stars in Major League Baseball, still at just 26 years of age.
Fresh off a season in which he placed third in National League MVP Award balloting, McCutchen declined an invitation to compete for Team USA in the 2013 WBC.
Without question, McCutchen's involvement on Team USA would have been a boost to the ballclub. He'd be a boost on a USA dream team as well.
Bench Player: Joe Mauer
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
It seems pretty clear that Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer is finally free of the injuries that curtailed his career in 2010 and 2011.
Mauer returned last season to post the most games he's ever played in one season (147). He also hit .319 with a league-leading .416 on-base percentage.
Without question Mauer is the guy I'd want as my primary pinch hitter for a USA dream team. With his ability to get on base, Mauer can help start or continue a late-inning rally.
He's certainly proving his worth right now for Team USA with a .417 average through their first three games.
Bench Player: Derek Jeter
J. Meric/Getty Images
New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is still a stud at 38 years of age. Studs belong on dream teams.
Jeter led the majors with 216 hits last season, a full 13 years after he led both leagues in hits the first time he achieved the feat.
Jeter hit .450 in the inaugural WBC in 2006 and .276 in the 2009 WBC. Jeter has shown time and time again that the grand stage is a natural fit for him. As such, he's still a natural choice now.

The Scandal Roundtable 2.12: "Truth Or Consequences"
Jordan: I would rip that damn coat of Liv's off her back if I could.
Joe: Jordan, her coats are the business. All of her coats are the business.
Jordan: Huck looks odd in a suit. Also, how is it that Huck still looks like battered, bruised crap and the President's stitches have magically disappeared?
Joe: This. His hair is totally back, too. Did they keep the clippings from an old haircut and make a merkin? (I know that's the wrong word; I just think it's a hilarious idea.)
Jordan: I love Mellie's speech about her mistress-hate and her anger at Fitz. It reminds me why she's one of my faves on this show. Damn straight she's not going to let this woman who has been with her husband less than two years take the position in the White House that she fought for and claim a place next to the man that she built (and, if there is one thing this show supports, it's that Fitz is nothing if not for the people who prop him up). She's earned a place next to him at the top. I love Liv but, I gotta side with Mellie: it's her husband and her place. Mellie doesn't disappoint. That card wasn't up her sleeve though.
Joe: Could you see Olivia picking china patterns or choosing an issue, like childhood obesity, to care about or giving up her job? No. No. Definitely no.
Johnathan: I don't know if it was the roundtable discussions or this new episode but I finally came around to Mellie this episode. During the ultrasound when she talks about past pregnancies, she says that "both times we were a team." and I got a little sad for her.
T.F.: Yea, I think Mellie is in an awkward and unenviable position. Her role and abilities are super-undervalued, and her work constantly goes unrecognized (FLOTUS in a nutshell, I guess.)
Zach: Wait, I am sorry, but this episode made me dislike her even more. I am assuming she had her doctor go ahead and prematurely send her into labor so she could save her marriage? Come. On. That's absurd. Because we all know she really doesn't care about the marriage, but it is really more about her maintaining the power she has as First Lady. We have evidence for this in her discussion with Cyrus about how she "made Fitz" and all that mess. She isn't mourning the potential of being a divorcee and losing her marriage–she is mourning a potential loss of power. And she will even put her child at risk for that.
Johnathan: I don't think the two are mutually exclusive, Zach. Do I think she induced labor? Yes. But her first scene in the doctor's office was sincere. She was missing her teammate.
Joe: I mean, we are often shown the shrill side of Mellie and not the side that actually fell in love with a pretty great catch. I mean before the cheating and threatening to destroy her with his eyes every time he looks at her.
Johnathan: There was also a powerful lesson in accountability this episode. Olivia wanted to come clean for what she felt she'd done wrong. She assessed the impact of her actions and did the right thing. When her and Cyrus are walking down the street, she makes the distinction between vengeance and justice. She doesn't believe anyone is outside the scope of being held accountable, not with connections, not with power. It only reaffirmed my love for Ms. Pope.
Loree: Yes, to be a human being is to have a conscience. Those who hurt people are basically sociopaths or just have become an expert at lying to themselves.
Joe: Yes… hello, Cyrus. I maintain that he is ultimately a villain on this show, as much as the Evil Southerner Brigade. I think that "discussion" with Olivia made that ever clearer.

Our treks | Expeditions | Contact us | About us | Photos & Diaries |
International Porter Protection Group (IPPG)Myself (Jamie McGuinness), Joel Schone and Kim Bannister strongly identify with the IPPG and Porters Progress cause and we follow all their policies (below) and more for all of our treks lead by us. Additionally on our wild treks/climbs we don't to take porters on the extreme sections of our treks/climbs, instead we take sherpas who are used to tough conditions, top up their gear and they stay in the same tents as us, basically as equals. For these sections of the treks/climbs the members have to carry their own gear while the sherpas shoulder the rest of the gear. Our record: one of our porters nearly got frostbite but didn't have any permanent damage when we nearly died on the Tashi Labtsa pass, (a long story) otherwise we have never had a porter incident. And never will. IPPG's mission statement:"IPPG's aim is to improve health and safety for the trekking porter at work in the mountains and reduce the incidence of avoidable illness injury and death. This is done by raising awareness of the issue among trekking and travel companies, leaders, sirdars, and trekkers." Preventing illness and accidents in portersThe higher and the more remote your trek, the better equipment and shelter you will have to provide. IPPG recommends the following guidelines: + That adequate clothing be available for protection in bad weather and at altitude. This should include adequate footwear, hat, gloves, windproof jacket and trousers, sunglasses, and access to a blanket and pad above the snowline. + That leaders and trekkers provide the same standard of medical care for porters, as they would expect for themselves. + That porters not be paid off because of illness without the leader or trekkers being informed. + That sick porters never be sent down alone, but with someone who speaks their language and understands the problem. + That sufficient funds be provided to sick porters to cover the cost of their land rescue and treatment. + If you are going to a remote area, select strong and experienced porters! Nepali law states that all trekking porters should have provision for security, personal protective equipment including shoes, clothes, etc., depending on the weather, and that the management (whoever employs them) is responsible for rescue of these persons when required. Jamie McGuinness, Joel Schone and Kim Bannister of Project Himalaya trips pledge that we will faithfully follow the letter and the spirit of these guidelines. Please have a look at the IPPG site - www.ippg.net and/or email them at email@example.com jdesign -- all rights reserved -- 2011 |

This is the classic bait-and-switch moving company. They quote a very low rate (for me, it was about $350). Once they loaded all my belongings into the van, they would not start unpacking unless I paid them $950, cash. They said if I did not pay, they would auction off all my stuff. The movers claimed that every move ended in an some level of argument because 'that is how movers in NYC work'. Avoid this company at all costs. You have been warned.

Week 2 – Commit
Welcome to Week 2 of the Spinach & Apples Diet, 28-Day Fresh Start. Week 2 is the week to commit and begin to experience change. You are committing to 3 weeks on a 100% (or at least 99.9%) plant-based diet, that is high in nutrition and low in processed foods. The goal is your good health.
All you have to do if pick the day!
You'll want a good set of measuring cups and, if you can, a digital kitchen scale — you are gauging servings not calories. You will love the freedom this brings. This is a conscious effort: you have left the Week 1 – Transition behind with Week 1 so, no cheating. The purpose of no cheating is to give yourself a chance to see how it "feels."
You are communicating with your body that there's a new game in town: you are educating your palate and eliminating old cravings, which means you can't be feeding old cravings at the same time. That said, if you slip, don't stop. Just continue on and try to do better — no beating yourself up or giving up.
This is a guilt-free lifestyle, but old habits die hard, and I'm not talking about eating habits — guilt is a habit. As soon as you master one thing, it's easy to begin focusing on the next thing you don't do well and beat yourself up for what you are not doing, rather than appreciating what you are doing.
You will also want to eat frequently to avoid temptation. In-between-meal snacks are encouraged. A good vegan cookbook is an important resource as you begin. Our favorite "beginner" cookbook is The Happy Herbivore.
Here's the Key — so long as you are eating the "right" foods, you can succeed. Also keep in mind, prevention is the best medicine, so eat before you are starving — and keep some things on hand that you can take along when you are out, just so you don't grab for something convenient that is off the diet. We will have more on eating out later.
Do NOT measure your success by the scales – lose the scales and measure how you feel. The weight loss effects may not kick-in the first week — but it will kick-in, so relax and know if you are eating the right foods and improving your health, everything else will take care of itself.

Much in the same way that Easterners equate the smell of pressed apples with the coming of fall, Southwesterners know it's autumn by the smell of roasting green chiles, usually the Hatch variety from New Mexico, but sometimes Big Jims, which are commonly grown around Grand Junction. The Fifth annual Patty Aragon Green Chile Classic will offer up more than $600 in prize money and some pretty sweet trophies and bragging rights, this event will be slightly different than a typical chile cook-off because it ONLY features green chile, a dish that is ubiquitous in our region but not as well-known outside of New Mexico and southern Colorado.
The 5th Annual Patty Aragon Green Chile Classic
Patty, who passed away 12 years ago, was locally famous for her green chile, often served on burgers and fries at Al's Café, a restaurant she ran and owned with her family and husband, Ross. When they closed their doors in 1992, it was the end of an era for many Pagosans. Several local restaurants have kept the green chile tradition alive and well here in town, along with legions of home cooks who continually strive for the "perfect" green chile recipe. Some people prefer scorching hot chile, others like it mild; some cooks use chicken, others use pork or no meat at all. No matter how you make your green chile, you'll have a chance to show your stuff in August and possibly win some cash or a trophy and the undying admiration of local green chile aficionados.
The Patty Aragon Green Chile Classic will be held at the Mountain Chile Cha Cha on Saturday, August 25, 2012. We will also have Hatch Green Chile Roasting By Hey Bro Green Chile.
It only costs, $5 to enter your green chile! Download form here.
More information and complete rules will be available in the next month, but for now save the date. We are currently seeking qualified judges. If you feel that you have what it takes to judge Pagosa's best green chile, please drop an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or send a brief letter detailing your qualifications and green chile experience to Jacque Aragon at AdWorks, Box 5005 Pagosa Springs, CO 81147. Or call Jacque Aragon at 970264-4237.
For more information about the trail race, and music, please visit www.joingecko.org.

I have always loved Stussy for their constant collaboration with artists on their graphic tees. The Artist Series for Summer 2012 brings us a collaboration with Stussy and Canadian animator, John K., who is most known for his classic 90s cartoon, The Ren & Stimpy Show. The last time they collaborated together was for the Stussy x Marvel collaboration. John K. also created a three-minute commercial for the collab and its obviously inspired by the fake commercials [Read More]
Vintage Spider-Man.
Some amazing and genius individual has gone ahead and re-created the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon intro using clips from trailers of the new Amazing Spider-Man film by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield. This is absolutely amazing. I always used to watch re-runs of the cartoon as kid and still do occasionally. The wacky and ridiculous quality of how superheroes were portrayed back in the day is hilarious. And the theme song is still a classic. The Simpsons [Read More]
Monster Bomb.
The Hundreds just released a commercial, of sorts, for, what looks like, their New York flagship store. The commercial features a old school looking animation of the Adam Bomb coming out of the Atlantic Cloverfield-style and charging through the streets like Godzilla and then climbing on top of the store like King Kong. I love this 15-second spot. Its so quirky and unique, and kind of works in the sense of a commercial. I love it when [Read More]
