Incredible food. As you sit right next to the kitchen it is like being in a cooking show.
You'd never know it! We decided to have an important business meeting to introduce a new concept and team. We had heard great things about DOC. The weather was great so we ended up sitting outside. The team at DOC took over from their recommending we shose from the menu or they could serve up their planned menu for the evening. We took their recommendations including wine and felt like we were in a cafe setting and not a business session. Marvelous food. We had the manager select the wine and he follow a progression that improved with each bottle! We start with a great French Rose and ended with a marvelous Italian red. I can't remember how many in between... I travel and enterain I found the quality exception at a great price.
The food was very good. We decided to get the tasting plate. The plates were small, but they added up over time and it ended up being a lot of food. We sat on the front patio and had a wonderful evening. It was definitely an evening to remember.
It was her birthday. She is a bit of an oenophile with a discriminating palate. We wanted a quiet place where we could enjoy a private table for two. DOC was perfect and she was made happy!
Food and drink-wise, this place has become one of my top five restaurants in Portland. And overall, we received really good service. Our only complaint is that when I arrived (ahead of my group), the server didn't walk me to our table, but rather, she nodded to the back and informed me that our table was the last one on the right; it's always in the details that make a something great.
This place nails it when it comes to dinner. They have really set up a unique experience for their guests. You really felt like you had discovered a secret location being that you enter through the kitchen before making it to your table. I loved that I was eating a high class meal while listening to hip hop artist Atmosphere. Seems like it should not work but it does. The food was absolutely incredible. These are very talented chefs. The waitstaff was very attentive and gave us recommendations for other places based on the dishes that we enjoyed the most. Another hidden gem in NE that really reminds you what upscale dining is supposed to be.
Best negroni ever and the tasting menu was so Devine. How do they do it in that tiny open kitchen? Love DOC! Our favorite in a neighborhood full of fabulous places.
DOC is a perfect place for celebrating a special occasion, entertaining friends or family, or escaping the kitchen night....The quaint dining room and open kitchen feels like you are at home with a private chef preparing you a great meal. The food and wine pairings and the quality and attention to detail made this a memorable evening....Everything was delicious, save room for unique dessert combinations. On the short list of "must go back!"
We went to DOC for the first time and fell in love. The smallness of the place was intriguing. We had their preset 5-course dinner and wine match and everything was delicious. The staff was attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommend the place.
I loved romantic gem, tucked snugly within the bosom of this wonderfully revitalized neighborhood. It offered the perfect mix of wonderful food, attentive service with an ambience of pleasure all around. We had the flat iron steak and salmon and they were both tender and succulent.
Dined there twice now and DOC has been extraordinary experience. Loved it all, especially the unanticipated adventures with the food and the eclectic, yet perfect, choices of wines that come with the meals. The service was nearly flawless as the staff moved throughout the small room, never too far away and never too near. Cutlery was added and removed as needed, wine was refreshed promptly, questions were answered, hot stuff was hot, cold stuff was cold. The speed may be a bit slow for some, bit it was just right for me. Some children may not be comfortable since most of the experience is about the food and wine and the conversations among happy people. A complete delight!
This was a great intimate spot that had an amazing menu that was above and beyond the descriptions. My boyfriend and I did the food and wine pairing menu and we were blown away. The foods was literally as good as it was when I was in Italy and the wine pairing couldn't be more perfect. This is very fit for foodies, not for somebody wanting to go to Olive Garden. The service was awesome and we felt very pampered in this tiny cute place. I will for sure go again and will recommend to all my friends. Great for a small group and even better for a romantic dinner.
This place is just awesome for making a night special. Everything about it is personal and unique. The chefs are right there, makes you feel like they are cooking for you. The room is so small you feel like they opened up the joint just for your table. The food is unique with the freshest ingrediants - very thoughtfully prepared. Lots of smiles, everyone there seems to be there for a special reason. Possibly the best date place ever!
We experienced - and savored - delectable offerings in a five course tasters menu consisting of fresh seasonal ingredients in unique combinations. Everything was expertly prepared, beautifully presented and served by a gracious and professional staff. The ambience is intimate and welcoming . DOC offers patrons a remarkable evening filled with amazing food in a cozy setting which makes it an absolute treasure hidden away on NE 30th!
As different reviewers noted, you enter through the front door and you are in the kitchen. From our seats, we could see them prepare all of our dishes. It was a lesson on economizing space, and efficiency in movement. Loved all of it. The service and food were fantastic. Would definitely come here again
My wife and I visit D.O.C. on birthdays and this year for our anniversary. The food is always amazing and the staff is friendly and very knowledgable. Local ingredients are always used and I enjoy every bite.
Refined but unpretentious. Surprising flavors and combinations but not just for the sake of ostentation. The most provincial and the most urbane will find equal satisfaction.
We went for the 1st time back in Oct. to celebrate our anniversary. We have been looking for a reason to return. Having family in town was a great reason! Another great dinner! All 5 of us did the prefixed meal and the wine pairings and it was fabulous!
When the restaurant was full the noise level made it difficult to converse easily, otherwise the restaurant was great
We are amazed that there were tables open in this fabulous restaurant. After eating our way through Portland for a week this was definitely the best meal. Food is creative, fresh and interesting. Our wine pairings were perfectly matched and we bought a bottle to bring home. We both ordered the tasting menu but our meals were completely different giving us a chance to taste more of there amazing food. We had been to Portland 2 years ago and this restaurant has been consistently excellent.
Everyone I take here always says its one of the top five restaurants they've been to...if not the best....and I hang out with foodies. I even had a friend still talking about the Chef's tasting menu six months after he'd been, and he's from LA. Not to be missed.
my wife and I always live DOC for a special meal out. the tasting menu option is great!
Very unique charming restaurant, small in scale with big ideas as to what a taste experience should really be about. Did not disappoint! Creative blend of ingredients resulting in subtle flavors specific to each dish. Ambience is nice and relaxed, no rushing by the staff who provide excellent attention. Caution as to cost and to noise level. Very loud party nearly shattered the mood, but they left early and problem was solved. Think of this as a destination for a lingering, late night dinner ,European style. Excellent wines too.
We went for a birthday dinner, and DOC did not dissappoint. The tasting menu and wine pairings were incredible, and we were well taken care of by attentive and knowledgable wait staff. The food was outstanding - will definitely save up our pennies to come back here again.
Me and my mother attended this place as our last night of a road trip. Walking through the kitchen and being able to watch the chefs cook was a fun treat. We did the five course taster, and it was great to get to try a little of everything. Fresh and inventive, we almost needed to be rolled out of there!
DOC is amazing. The restaurant is small and cozy, the kitchen tiny, and they turn out miraculous food. The dishes are original, flavorful and well proportioned, very good wine pairing. Our table of four shared all the dishes and there were a couple, such as the risotto, that were hard to share, but it was good to save room for the beautiful desserts. Terrific wait staff. I can't wait to go again.
Simply but deliciously prepared farm-fresh food - just the way Italian should be.
I've been going to DOC for a few years now and am still loving it as much today as I was back then. Great food, great wine. I prefer sitting outside as the temperature inside never seems quite right. If you catch them on a good summer evening, it's perfection.
We were celebrating my birthday, so decided to splurge and get the chefs menu. Everything they brought us was good, if not amazing. We ordered the wine pairing to go w dinner and were impressed with the staffs extensive knowledge about Italian wines. Our whole meal lasted 3 hours, and we left so happy and satisfied.
The food and service was outstanding! Some of the best we have had in Portland, by far. Risotto rivaled what we ate last month in Italy. Only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because it was so hot in the restaurant. It got slightly unbearable toward the end. It was not hot outside but because you sit in the same room as the kitchen, the oven and stove warm the room. We will be back for sure but will try the winter.
We went to DOC after having been there for a Classic Wines Winemaker dinner a couple of years ago, and very much enjoyed our experience a second time! We did the chef's tasting paired with wines -- that is the way to go! We tried things we wouldn't have ordered otherwise but were thrilled with, and the wines they chose paired perfectly with our dishes. I only wish I'd saved more room for dessert!
Outstanding. Everything was cooked perfectly and it was fun watching the cooks prepare the food in the open kitchen. The flat iron steak had a flavor to it that I've rarely experiences with that kind of steak. Only complaint is that the waitress was a little snooty. Other than that, the service was great!
I have tried to describe to fellow foodies how magnificently distinctive the food and wine is at DOC, without much success. Suffice it to say you cannot be disappointed by this place, unless your taste buds are no longer functioning. And when the waiter says he will select the wines for each course that you order (giving you at least two to choose from), trust him -- he knows what he's doing. We ate outdoors on a fine mid-September evening, so I cannot comment on the noise level of the restaurant itself.
DOC is a very charming small neighborhood restaurant with a European feel. You enter through the kitchen, cooks on your right, scullery on your left, dining straight ahead. The food is very good to excellent. The wine list is extensive, but pricey. The place is small, and can be very noisy. Even sitting side-by-side, we have problems hearing each other, but then we are old, quiet people. If you are young extroverts, you may like the loud talking. There are outdoor tables as well.
This is my favorite restaurant in Portland!! Great food, wine and vibe and perfect presentation by Austin!
Went to DOC with another couple. Did the 4 course tasting menu with wine pairings. Great chance to taste everything. They worked within our food issues (no seafood for 1 person). The food was excellent, large pours of wine, great attentive service. The food was interesting without being odd. Picky eaters even enjoyed! A hit.
Have eaten here twice and both times the food was spectacular. Atmosphere feels like a neighborhood bistro, but the food makes it so much more. Small, intimate and charming with the focus on food and service. You won't be disappointed!
DOC's taster's menu was an experience. My wife and I celebrated our recent anniversary at this tiny, neighborhood gem. We requested the taster's menu (chef's choice) with all of the wine parings, and we were wow'ed and amazed by the culinary experience. I don't think I've appreciated such an array of delicious wines as I did that evening. Every dish was skillfully prepared, properly paced, and absolutely delicious. Our server was knowledgeable and added to the ambiance of the restaurant which, with its open kitchen in the front and very exclusive seating, made us feel like we were in Paris.
The fixed menu is the way to go. Great value and perfectly portioned.
Just discovered DOC about a year ago and have returned multiple times. The food is better than any in Portland, and one of the best restaurants we've been to in the world. The wine pairings are amazing. We always go with the chef's choice and share everything. The five courses are essentially ten because they bring two choices for each course. The only disappointment is when a loud group of Portlanders that don't know how to be heard except by screaming enter the room. Will continue to return again and again, but will avoid the busiest of days.
This is a tiny place and worth the experience. The oyster appetizer, olives and breads were great. The salmon dish was good and the egg on the lasagna was an interesting surprise. It is a bit noisy so not the best place for a totally romantic evening.
We enjoy the food and ambience at DOC, but our last visit was marred by a very large and noisy group. We could barely hear one another. This restaurant is not set up for crowds like this. It was not pleasant once they all got there. I wish I could have checked to see just who they were serving that evening.
Super place with an outstanding tasting menu wine pairing to match. Don't miss this place.
This was my first trip to DOC and it was excellent. We had the tasting menu with the wine pourings. Not only did we get to sample multiple dishes, both of us had separate dishes and wine for each course. This enabled us to trade off and try most of the dishes on the menu by the end of the evening. All of the dishes were excellent, particularly the salads, pasta courses and the desserts. The only drawback was that the restaurant was noisy to the point of making conversation difficult. But we had a large, boisterous, table of celebrants next to us, which may have responsible for the din. We'll definitely go back!
Let the chef take care of you, do the 5-course tasting menu for $60 per person. We didn't do the wine pairings, but we did buy a bottle of Tempernillo to go with our meal. All the food was outstanding and we got to try a little of everything from the menu. This was a wonderful dining experience that I will never forget.
This was the second time dining at DOC - both experiences were unbelievable. I would highly recommend the tasting menu with the wine pairing. The food was absolutely delicious and the wine was from outstanding. The servers are highly knowledgeable about the food and wine as well as extremely friendly. Food and wine just kept arriving over and over again. The dessert was exquisite. I will definitely be back.
We went to DOC to celebrate my spouse's 50th birthday. It was a celebration from the beginning to the end as the tasting menu with wine parings surprised us both and delighted our senses with each course. Service was spectacular, ambiance agreeable, and they served me two foods I generally do not like (oysters for an appetizer, salmon for a main) that, well, about which I rave. There were lots of happy people around us enjoying food and the company of their companions. Really, it could not have been better. Less expensive, yes. Better, no.
One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Wait staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Food and wine was excellent! I normally don't do reviews, but don't miss out on a great dining experience at DOC.
I went to the DOC with 4 others, we decided to do the tasting menu. We basically were able to try most everything on the menu. It was a great meal. The desserts were amazing. And we all left feeling very full. I will come back again
we made it to DOC which we had heard wonderful things about. It was worth the wait. From the moment we entered through their kitchen to the final bite of dessert it was a unique dining experience. The food was delicious and creative. The only reason I marked the service down a bit is that we felt a bit rushed by our server. In other words, he didn't make us feel that questions or requests for more explanation of the many courses that made up the tasting menu or wine pairings would be welcome. There was a brief, hurried naming of each and that was it! I don't know if it's always this rushed or if it was an especially busy evening. In any event, we look forward to returning to DOC!

3D DYS - Dyslexia's Gifts
- Place: Veletržní Palace (Contacts)
- Date: 05.09.2012 - 11.11.2012
- Type: Exhibition
Author: Alena Kupčíková /www.dys.cz/
Curators: Alena Kupčíková a Martina Veverková /5s_gallery/
Exhibiting Artists: Štěpán Beránek, Ivan Komárek, Markéta Korečková, Alena Kupčíková, Luděk Míšek, Christl Mudrak, Kateřina Novotná, Jan Pospíšil, Kryštof Rybák
The unique concept of thie exhibition joins separate societal aspects - educational, social, and artistic. Until now, artists have neither publicly acknowledged their dyslexia nor have they presented it as such. The joining of these societal aspects confirms the unbreakable wholeness of the individual in his relation to the rest of world. And the element which joins these aspects is, paradoxically, a handicap or a disability. Amongst these disabilities is dysgraphia, problems with graphically forming words when writing; dysortographia, problems with spelling; dyscalculia, problems with understanding numbers and mathematics; dyspraxia, problems with motor coordination and movement, and ADHD, problems with hyperactivity. Dyslexia, a handicap that causes problems in reading and reading comprehension is one of the most widespread of this family of handicaps, and that is why we have chosen to use it in the name of this exhibition, short-hand for all the other related disabilities we've outlined.
The relationship between dislexia and artistic talent can be relatively simply explained as the activation of the brain's right hemisphere simultaneously with problems in the functioning of the left hemisphere which prevent them from functioning in tandem, as they should when reading and writing. Those with dyslexia can however be creative in the visual domain, where their unique spatial imagination can be an advantage. In the same regard, many dyslectics are pilots, and are able to orient themselves especially well in the neverending open sky. Discussions with artists have shown an interesting fact: by necessity and from the inabilities that dyslexia brings, and in order to understand relational situations and societal interaction, they create their own visual systems. With ease and facility they manipulate symbols in their thoughts; a three dimensional objectivization of their imagination through which they interpret the world around them. Their language, naturally and instead of words, becomes the picture, the face, the image. Dyslexia can be found in many creative fields: photography, painting, architecture. The concept of this exhibition specifically addresses the relationship between a disability and creativity. In this regard, dyslexia clearly becomes a GIFT.

I've been re-reading some of the various posts on the board regarding Civil War officers that are admired, etc. I notice one name always seems to get overlooked - Adelbert Ames. OK, not a household name, but as I read everything I can find about him, my admiration grows. During his Civil War career, he seems to personify everything a soldier should be. Any opinions on him (and does anyone know of any books on him?) |

javal1- Since you have a very high opinion of General Ames, the book for you (if you can find it) was written by his daughter, Blanche Ames Ames. She was offended by President Kennedy's account of Ames' activities in Mississippi after the war. (See Kennedy's book- PROFILES IN COURAGE). The title of Mrs. Ames' book is: ADELBERT AMES: BROKEN OATHS AND RECONSTRUCTION IN MISSISSIPPI, 1853-1933. Apparently, there were rewrites with different titles as Amazon has two with different titls on this list that were apparently published in 1964.

Many thanks for that TD. Don't know how it didn't come up on my search. Embarrased also that I never read Profiles In Courage, so I didn't even know Ames was mentioned in it. I realized that there was some controversy regarding his post-war life, but I do admire his wartime service. Another great book regarding some of his post-war activities ia one I just finished - "The Bloody Shirt - Terror After Appomattox" by Stephen Busiansky. Thanks again... |

javal1- Looking into the Ames family a little further, I see that a book was compiled of letters between Adelbert Ames and his wife, Blanche Butler Ames. The book was published in 1957, many years after Blanche died. The title of the book is: CHRONICLES FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY: FAMILY LETTERS OF BLANCHE BUTLER AND ADELBERT AMES. You might also be interested in reading a short synopsis of interesting members of the Butler/Ames/Ames family, from Benjamin Butler to George Plimpton.

I don't know much about Ames, but I do know that he took over the 1st Division of the 11th Corps at Gettysburg after Barlow was wounded. That means the Clewells, as members of the 153rd Pennsylvania, served under him at Gettysburg, most specifically at East Cemetery Hill on July 2. Best as I can figure, the 153rd was forced to give ground under the weight of Hays' and Hoke's (Avery's) attack on the evening of July 2, but not before giving stiff initial resistance. They met the 6th North Carolina's attack head on. Although the 153rd was eventually forced to flee, I like to think the Clewells still gave battle in the melee among Wainwright's artillery at the top of the hill. These guys just had three weeks left in their nine-month enlistment. Here's an excerpt from the regimental history of the 153rd describing the fight at Cemetery Hill, which began around 7:30 p.m. and ended around 9 p.m. in the dark: 'The arms of ordinary warfare were no longer exclusively used. Clubs, knives, stones, fists — anything calculated to inflict pain or death was now resorted to. Now advancing and then retreating, this sort of conflict continued for fully three-quarters of an hour. At one time defeat seemed inevitable. Closely pressed by the enemy, we were compelled to retire on our first line of defence (sic), but even here the enemy followed us while the more daring were already behind our lines and were now resolutely advancing towards our pieces. The foremost one had already reached a piece, when, throwing himself over the muzzle of the cannon, he called out to the bystanding gunners: "I take command of this gun!" Du sollst sie haben!" ('You can have it', if my German still serves me) was the curt reply of the sturdy German, who, at that very moment, was in the act of firing. A second later, and the soul of the daring rebel had taken its flight to the realms of everlasting peace. Here our reverses ended. Determined to conquer or die in the attempt, our men now threw themselves upon the enemy with a resolution and a fury that soon compelled him to retire. The batteries were saved, the day ours, Chancellorsville redeemed!' This is pretty much a glorified and self-serving account of the 153rd's performance, written by a member of the regiment. Most historians — Sears, Pfanz, Bearrs — pretty much said the 153rd unceremoniously broke sometime during the assault. Still, the Confederate effort ultimately failed to take Cemetery Hill and Ames generally gets high marks for his performance there. I'll always have mixed feelings about the 11th Corps. This corps, composed mostly of first and second generation Germans, took the initial brunt of Jackson's attack after his flank march at Chancellorsville and as such, the 'Flying Dutchmen' were pretty much held in contempt by the rest of the AofP. The first day at Gettysburg, after being forced off Barlow's Knoll, didn't help their reputation much either. |

Joe, I'd definitely recommend Profiles in Courage. Also, I'd check the USMA site for more info about him, both in Cullum's files and the site in general. If memory serves, he won the Medal of Honor, I want to say at First Bull Run, so there may be something on him at Harry Smeltzer's blog "Bull Runnings" as well. Very vague recollections are stirring that the brigade he commanded was involved in either Buford's feint to start Stoneman's Raid or the battle of Brandy Station at either Beverly or Kelly's Fords....

The first MOH were given to some of Andrews' Raiders. Parrott was the first to have one put around his neck. I believe though that some were given later for deeds done before the Raiders were honored in 1863. Here is the cititation for Ames AMES, ADELBERT Rank and organization: First Lieutenant, 5th U.S. Artillery. Place and date: At Bull Run, Va., 21 July 1861. Entered service at: Rockland, Maine. Birth: East Thomaston, Maine. Date of issue: 22 June 1894. Citation: remained upon the field in command of a section of Griffin's Battery, directing its fire after being severely wounded and refusing to leave the field until too weak to sit upon the caisson where he had been placed by men of his command. check website : http://www.history.army.mil/moh.html Comes in handy when Joe throws one of those medal of honor questions at us.

Bama exactly what happened . Some men where given them years after they had done what ever the deed was that earn them the medal of honor . Took Sickles something like 38 years to get the one he wanted for Gettysburg. I have heard they finally gave it to him for saving Gettysburg as a national battlefield . Also the man who killed the man who killed Elmer Ellisworth May 24 , 1861 was later awarded a medal of honor for his actions Cpt Francis Brownell . This would also be a pre existing deed of awarding of medal of honor much later . Susan |

Folks, A number of things about Ames and the MoH: 1) You all probably know that Blanche Butler was Gen. Ben Butler's daughter, but may not know that George Plimpton was Ames's grandson or ggson and he remembered sitting on his lap listening to stories in the 1930s. 2) You might be interested in my friend, Ralph Kirshner's book _Class of '61: Ames, Custer, and Their Classmates at West Point (or some such title). It's a collective bio of all the grads of which there were 2 classes graduated due to the war. It's really wonderful to read the writings of these young, eager, but sophisticated young officers. Unfortunately, the publisher ruined the book by requiring that Ralph cut 100 pps. of text. So, for instance, in the chapters on Vicksburg and Gettysburg, absolutely no context is given; it assumes total knowledge on the part of the reader. But there are jewels of insight into all of these men and the war. And, of course, you get their post war careers. 3) In 1917, an Army board was established to review the Medal of Honor awards, decide on eligibility standards and thus, allow awardees to keep or ask them to turn in their medals, based on the new critieria. Dr. Mary Walker, Asst. Surgeon of the 52nd OH, was, and still is, the only woman awardee. She was asked to turn in her medal which she refused to do. In 1977, at the request of a descendant, an Army board reviewed Walker's claim and SecArmy Clifford Alexander reinstated it. Walker claimed she was awarded the medal for her work going out among the local population to treat them in their homes, all the time risking capture. She was taken prisoner in April 1864 and taken to Castle Thunder in Richmond for 2 mos. or so. She was exchanged for a CSA major. Apparently the male Union doctors would refuse to treat the local civilians, that is. to leave camp for fear of capture, even though the people would come into Union lines and beg for help. But the reality is, to my knowledge, no one has really studies Walker's claim for I don't know what sources the Army board used. You can read about her at nymas.org, my "Springing to the Call" page. Anyway, part of the point is that those awardees from the CW who still hold the MoH are legit by today's standards, given the 1917 review board's work. 4) At the risk of revealing my age, Disney has "The Great Locomotive Chase", on the Andrews Raiders out on DVD, with Fess Parker and Jeff Hunter. I also recommend William Pickering's memoir on which it was based. CKL |

William Pittinger is the man the movie is loosely based on . He is buried down in Fallbrook California not far from me . He came to California after the war and became a minister. His book is very self serving. The best book on the Raiders and the medal of honor is Stealing the General by Russell Bond. Susan Sweet |

Susan, Thanks for the name correction on Pittinger and the info on him. I know some of these memoirs are self-serving, but I still enjoy "I was there" accounts. FYI if you don't know: A number of Wisconsin men were on that raid. As I remember, their Medals of Honor are housed at the Wisconsin State Historical Society on the Library Mall in Madison, WI, my hometown. CKL |

Barcelo Raval Hotel Barcelona Guest Reviews (8)
Great Hotel. We paid a small amount for an upgrade to the top floor and it was well worth the money. Large Room with wonderful views of the city. The room is quite retro and very clean and comfortable. The restaurant is well worth a visit and we found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. There is a roof top deck with 360 views of the city. The location is perhaps a slight let down. It isn't far from La Rambla which is great but turning left out of the hotel we did encounter some hookers and shady characters but this area can be avoided. I would definitely stay again.

NOISEY!!! Walls are paper thin, Outside is noisy....Not in a nice area. BUT for the price.... if you do not mind walking 15 minutes to La Rambla.... it is a good value. The rooms are ultra modern. Great shower. Convenient to walk to everything. Area is seedy ....Lots of taxis right out the front door. Easy walk during the day to entire city. Never got in a taxi.

Very nice hotel very firendly staff, breakfast was lovely delighted we had it included as the food is strange in barcelona very difficult to get anything edible i guess speaking spanish would help.., the pool is tiny not a pool at all just like a large bath but still a lovely experience, right behind the hotel the street was a little dodgy looking with a lot of loiterers,' girls and cops' but we had no grief with any of them. central enough for our needs. the hotel rooms are small but probably normal for here we are just used to larger rooms in ireland in a 4 star hotel. very nice overall.

The hotel itself is beautiful with a quirky modern design. In the rooms though it does feel that its a 'style over substance' approach. The basin and shower are actually within the bedroom with only the toilet being in a separate cubicle. Athough this looks good it is actually quite impractical! Also we couldn't open the floor to ceiling curtains without unhooking them at the end. We were on the 5th floor and there were only facilities to make coffee in the room. When I asked for teabags at reception I was told that they were only usually available for premier rooms from 6th floor up! Although they did arrange for some to be brought to the room which was good. The view from the roof top terrace is amazing. Had read some bad reviews about the area but the location is fine. 10 minutes walk to La Rambla's and with several bars around the square where the hotel is located.

An internationally-respected mental health researcher at the University of Newcastle will lead an important new project into the extent and impact of mental health problems in the Australian coal industry.
Supported by a $350,000 grant from the Australian Coal Association Research Program (ACARP) announced today, Professor Brian Kelly* and his team will partner with the New South Wales Minerals Council and the Hunter Institute of Mental Health.
"We estimate that mental health problems in the NSW coal mining industry cost up to $AU429 million in productivity losses each year," Professor Kelly said.
"One in five Australians experience a mental health problem in a 12 month period. We know there is a link between mental health problems and injury, with contributing factors related to fatigue, and drug and alcohol use."
The project will involve open cut and underground mines in NSW and Queensland, and has two specific aims.
"Firstly, we will identify the patterns of mental health problems among coal industry employees; the factors associated with these problems; and the impact on employees' health, workplace safety and productivity," Professor Kelly said.
"Then we will develop a mental health promotion, prevention and intervention model that examines the range of assistance currently available and develops strategies to promote well being and prevent problems."
NSW Minerals Council CEO Mr Stephen Galilee said the research would build on the important collaboration established with the University and the Hunter Institute.
"The mining sector is deeply committed to the health and wellbeing of its employees and their families. This vital research project will translate into effective solutions and demonstrates the Australian industry's leadership in this important area."
The Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER) – a multidisciplinary research hub at the University of Newcastle – is supporting the project.
"Research at NIER is driven by demand within the energy and resources sector and the challenges faced by governments, community and industry," NIER Director, Dr Alan Broadfoot, said.
"Workplace health and safety and employee wellbeing is a challenge that impacts not only the mine site but also the communities and economies that rely on mining."
Professor Kelly's project will begin in January 2013 and run for 18 months, and is one of eight separate research projects to share in $1.5 million of ACARP funding awarded to the University of Newcastle today.
* Professor Kelly researches with the Priority Research Centre for Translational Neuroscience and Mental Health, Newcastle Institute for Energy Resources and in collaboration with the Hunter Medical Research Institute's (HMRI) Brain and Mental Health Program. HMRI is a partnership between the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Local Health District and the community.

BOUNTIFUL — The flowering pear and locust trees that line the sidewalks of Bountiful's Main Street are beloved for their shade, their beauty and the airy but time-honored sense of place they provide.
But merchants along the street say they are also hampering business. Customers can't see storefront signs through their thick foliage, business owners say. Would-be shoppers often drive up and down the street several times before either parking to hunt for stores on foot or taking their dollars elsewhere.
"I think the concern is there are people that love trees and don't want to see any tree cut down, and I don't know why those people take precedence over the merchants," said Bruce Barton of Barton Comfort Shoes, who has delayed replacing his sign for years because it's virtually invisible from the street.
Mike Murphy, owner of Murphy's Guitars on the north end of Main Street, will become president of the Bountiful Main Street Merchant's Association next month.
About a month ago, the city added a layer of difficulty to the signage problem when it required all businesses to remove the banners, streamers and wire H-frame signs from the park strip area in front of their stores.
For Murphy's, this meant removing streams of colored flags that were a favorite way for customers to locate the store. It also meant taking down signs that advertised private music lessons.
The signs and streamers were problematic for a few reasons, said Bountiful Planning and Economic Development Director Aric Jensen.
First, pounding anything into the ground or even into the planters on the street could damage utility pipes, he said.
Furthermore, they introduce liability problems. For most businesses on the street, the private property line ends at the storefront. The city is responsible for maintaining the sidewalk, planters, park strip and street.
Bountiful City is also responsible for hazards in this public right of way. This was made perfectly clear, to the tune of $40,000, when a woman who tripped on a flag post left in that right of way sued for damages a few years ago, Jensen said.

Will he beat the rap like Maxine Waters?
All those dead people that voted for him are going to be very disappointed.
Good riddance you bag of garbage, say hi to Blago,eh?
Kind makes you wonder who get´s the top bunk, him or Blago....
Wow it sucks to tick off o doesn´t Junior?
17 years in Congress probably means an immediate annual pension of $145,000 plus free healthcare. I doubt that he forfeits this federal largesse even if he is in prison.Soon after release JJ Jr will run for a Chicago alderman´s position and then for state senator. After the media erases its memory of his prison term (media memory approx twice the length of actual prison time) JJ Jr will win back his old congressional seat as a "prison reformer wanting to keep young black men from ruining their lives".
This should free him for a cabinet position or presidential run in 2016.
Like father. Like son. The disgusting aspect of this isn´t what he did but that he was overwhelming reelected to continue doing it. Adam Clayton Powell in Harlem was elected for decades and he couldn´t even legally return to Harlem. Time for a revolution and get rid of this one man one vote stuff and replace it with one taxpayer one vote.
He´ll never go to jail for any extended time.
he won his district without any campaign. the fix was in, early. his win ensures that Gov Quinn and Mike Madigan can appoint his successor, thus taking no chance that the winner would not be in their pockets.for Jr´s lay down, he´ll be able to negotiate some kind of reduced sentence. or - best of all - probation and fine to pay back the funds spent for ´´personal gain´´. I believe the translation of that phrase is ´´honey bunny´´.this is another example of the Chicago Way...
I predicted this on LCom many weeks ago.All the Kabuki moves (Mao Clinic, etc) were so he could get leniency.Let´s see what actually hapens. He´s a Dim after all, and subject to different standards.
Presidential pardon? He´s been through a lot, not his fault, health concerns made him careless, etc., etc.
If he is arrested and jailed this will give him the "highly sought" designation of being a felon. Which means in the world of truth the voting franchise will, should be stripped from him--but you know the rest of the story--"racism, voter suppression, "those damn old whitey took away my voting priviledge"!
You must be joking, a black congressmam going to jail? Not since this election will this happen.He is jessies son.
Illinois law doesn´t provide for an interim appointee. The governor will have to call for a special election. I would lay money that mrs. gorilla will win. (Look at that photo in the article. He looks exactly like a gorilla)But president zero will pardon him, no jail time, no fine. That is my guess.
Two words - Marion Barry.
Is Mel Reynolds ready to take his seat back?

My roommate Errol was a cool guy, but he had the nasty habits of leaving pubic hairs all over the bathroom and falling asleep naked on the common area couch.

This is not so much a confession, but rather I am too proud of what happened not to share it. Freshman year my roommate and I were very close, and loved to prank each other.

But rather then get mad, he decided to get even.... Read More »

Lately I noticed my roommate has been using by bar soap, I don't approve. I didn't bother to bring it up because he would want me to prove it so i bought one of those cans of pepper spray while i was in line at the store and sprayed my bar with it, about 5 minutes into his evening shower i hear something that resembles opera music. Success.
My roommate went to sleep about three hours ago and I have stayed up doing my homework. Right now his eyes are wide open and he is staring at me. I am praying to God that's just how he looks when he sleeps.
So my freshman roommate (like 6 years ago) was awesome, and we were totally suited to live together. Neither one of us was bothered by the other's poor habits or vices. We kinda hung with different crowds though, and I would often stay with friends for days on end and come back to our room at random times with no notice. No worries but 90% of the time he'd be whackin it when... Read More »
I'll be honest. I did a lot of stuff to my roommate. He was a douche and made fun of me because "I was stupid enough to believe in evolution."

I had a really Mormon roommate and she would get mad when I had friends over, especially guys. She would bang on the wall and would tell my friends they'd have to leave at 9PM.

I have this ridiculous roommate. She has horrible insomnia which keeps her up all night (in turn me up all night). She makes popcorn which makes the room smell of disgusting fake butter.

Washington, DC Tuesday, February 19, 2013
On February 20, C-SPAN Radio continues a week-long special series of Supreme Court historic oral arguments previewing key pending cases on the taking of DNA samples from criminal suspects---"Maryland v. King"---and on the constitutionality of parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965---"Shelby County, Alabama v. Attorney General Eric Holder."
In this program, a case cited in briefs for "Shelby County v. Holder." From 1986: "North Carolina Attorney General Lacy Thornburg and others v. Ralph Gingles and others." The North Carolina General Assembly passed a redistricting plan for the state's Senate and House of Representatives. African American citizens of North Carolina alleged that the plan created seven new districts where they would not be able to elect representatives of their choosing. They filed suit in a District Court claiming that this violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the 14th and 15th amendments. Before the District Court could hear the case, Congress amended section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in order to clarify that voting violations needed only to have a "discriminatory effect" and required no "discriminatory purpose." Considering the "totality of circumstances" of the redistricting plan, the District Court ruled that six of the new districts violated the newly amended Voting Rights Act by diluting the power of the African American vote. The North Carolina attorney general appealed the decision directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The audio and information of the cases are courtesy of the Oyez Project at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law at: http://www.oyez.org.

Randy Rogers Band
From an early age, music was an important part of Randy Rogers' life. Rogers was raised in Cleburne, Texas, and his great-grandmother taught him how to play the piano at age six; by 11 he was writing his own songs and learning chords on the guitar. After some time spent in a backing band, Rogers decided that he wanted to front his own group, and soon he and some friends from college formed the Randy Rogers Band, releasing their debut album, Live at Cheatham St. Warehouse, recorded at the bar of the same name in San Marcos, Texas, shortly after their first practice. In 2002, their first studio album, Like It Used to Be, came out, followed by 2004's Rollercoaster, which featured the by-then solidified lineup of Geoffrey Hill on guitar, Jon Richardson on bass, Brady Black on fiddle, and Les Lawless on drums. The next year, RRB released Live at Billy Bob's Texas and also signed to major-label Mercury Nashville, which issued Just a Matter of Time in 2006. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them alongside such artists as U2 and the Stones in its list of Top Ten Must-See Artists in the summer of 2007. They grossed $2.5 million in touring for the year, a staggering figure for a still-developing act. They also shared stages with Willie Nelson, the Eagles, Gary Allan, and Dierks Bentley. They followed that banner year by releasing a self-titled album produced by Radney Foster in 2008, followed by more extensive touring. They moved over to MCA Nashville for 2010's Burning the Day, which was produced by Paul Worley and preceded by the single "Too Late for Goodbye." Both the single and album performed well, with the latter peaking at eight on the Billboard charts.
The Randy Rogers Band worked on their sixth studio album during 2012, releasing the single "One More Sad Song" toward the end of the year. Trouble appeared in the spring of 2013. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi

Looking to watch the latest episode of your favorite TV show? Apple wants to rent it to you. Yesterday, the Mountain View-based company unveiled the latest incarnation of Apple TV. And like most of Apple's newest consumer electronics devices, behind the hardware is a business model to move content.
In addition to $4.99 high-definition movie rentals, Apple TV offers up 99 cent rentals of popular television shows from Fox and ABC. But will Apple TV do for television shows what the iPod and iTunes did for music? That may depend on how Apple deals with the competition. If the counter attack Amazon has already launched is any indication, the competition may be pretty fierce.

Seasonal Travel Agent:

See full project map View more photos
OverviewThe roadway embankment on US 2 near Sunset Falls was slowly sliding across a layer of bedrock 35 to 40 feet below the roadway surface, causing the pavement to sink and crack.W e stabilized a 310-foot section of the embankment by building a large rock and gravel wall, known as a rock buttress. We also repaved the damaged road.
Partnerships & Cooperation We awarded the contract to the most competitive bidder, Scarsella Brothers, Inc., in November 2007 and construction began in July 2008. We finished work in October 2008.When we designed the project we worked to reduce impacts to wetlands, creeks and rivers that could be in the project area.We seek to address the concerns of tribal nations using the process outlined in Section 106 of The National Historic Preservation Act and the WSDOT Tribal Consultation Policy adopted in 2003 by the Transportation Commission as part of the WSDOT Centennial Accord Plan. To learn more please visit WSDOT's Tribal Liaison page.We initiated formal consultation with the Tulalip, Snoqualmie and Yakama Tribes with a letter dated July 17, 2006. That letter was followed by a phone call to each tribe on August 10, 2006. Because this project is not exempt from Section 106 review, we accordingly prepared a Cultural Resource Survey. The report was sent to the tribes on October 2, 2006 asking for their comment and review. After 30 days the report was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Officer who concurred with our findings on November 16, 2006. Receipt of that letter concluded our formal Section 106 efforts for this project.
