Down East 2013 ©
Every two years, art lovers converge on southern Maine for the Portland Museum of Art's Biennial, a juried show of some of the most interesting new talent in the state. What many of them overlook is the fact that just a short drive from Maine's largest city, a variety of small-scale galleries and exhibit halls display the work of similarly exciting artists. Consider this a guided tour of a few more southern Maine stops you might want to make to find great Maine art this summer.
Momentum IX
April 23 to May 29
George Marshall Store Gallery,
140 Lindsay Rd., York. 207-351-1083.
www.georgemarshallstoregallery.com [2]
The annual "Momentum" exhibition features the winner and the finalists for the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation's Piscataqua Region Artist Advancement Grant. This year, for the first time since its inception in 2002, the $25,000 grant was awarded to a Maine artist, Gail Spaien, who is showing a small installation that explores her fascination with our relationship to the natural world.
Spaien's work takes the form of a garden bench, a plot of grass, and a selection of the artist's schematic flower paintings — daisy-like forms in watercolor, gouache, and graphite that look almost as though they were created with a spirograph. "I've been doodling this flower since I was in high school," Spaien says. "It's a body memory."
The repetitive nature of Spaien's mechanical flowers speaks to the underlying meaning of her art. "The action of repeating the same mark is related to maintaining control of one's world," she says. "The natural world has always provided me with a sense of comfort, but I lived on a boat for ten years, so I know the natural world is not always comfortable. The outdoors has a little discomfort as well as being comforting. I'm trying to get that edge across."
The grant finalists who will exhibit along with Spaien are conceptual artist Lauren Gillette, of York; sculptor and performance artist Kim Bernard, of Berwick; and photographer Bear Kirkpatrick, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Spaien, who chairs the Maine College of Art painting department, will use her grant to construct a new studio at her home on Kittery Point.
Artist's Choice
June 5 to July 6
Mast Cove Galleries, Mast Cove Ln., Kennebunkport. 207-967-3453.
With one of the largest stables of artists in the state (close to ninety at last count), Mast Cove features paintings and prints that appeal to a wide variety of tastes, though the strongest focus is on traditional figurative realism, landscape, and seascape. The first show of the new 2011 season is "Artist's Choice," featuring the gallery artists' own selections.
Mast Cove's best-selling artist is the venerable marine artist Frank Handlen, 94, who lives and paints in a little shingled house on the Kennebunk River just a block off Dock Square. His forty-foot topsail schooner Salt Wind is moored in the channel right outside his window. A self-taught artist, Handlen is best known for his romantic seascapes — waves crashing on the rockbound coast against pink skies, a kind of latter-day Winslow Homer. But Handlen's inspiration is the lesser-known Frederick Waugh (1861-1940).
"He was the greatest marine artist we ever produced," Handlen says. It was a visit with Waugh in Provincetown in 1938 that changed Frank Handlen's life. "He told me I should come to Maine. That was where my subject was," the artist explains. From 1940 until 1966, Handlen worked in local boatyards, the South Portland shipyard, and at the textile mills in Biddeford-Saco to support his painting, but he has been able to make his living as an artist since 1966, the year a Kennebunk bank purchased nine of his paintings and gave him the confidence to quit his day job.
"I'm still learning," says Handlen, "but I'll never be able to equal Frederick Waugh's quality."
North Dam Mill
2 Main St., Biddeford.
www.northdammill.com [5]
One of southern Maine's emerging contemporary art venues, North Dam Mill comprises three of the five-story brick buildings that were once part of the Pepperell Mill complex on the Saco River. Wandering its metal-floored corridors is an adventure; you never know who or what you might find. There are more than fifty businesses and art studios in the complex. It is a place where art is made, and where it also can be seen. "If the door is open, people will stop," says ceramic sculptor Cheryl Lichwell, whose studio is a menagerie of strange, anthropomorphic animals. "This is my work space, but I love to have people come in."
Because there is no lighting and no security, the exhibitions in the halls of North Dam Mill tend to be of community art, an expression of a grassroots spirit. They are curated by Tammy Ackerman, the executive director of Engine (Propelling the Creative Community), a new non-profit that aims to promote the arts in Biddeford. Engine organizes the Final Friday Biddeford ArtWalk, a monthly open-studio event that attracts about four hundred art lovers to North Dam Mill on the last Friday of each month. "Nobody has marketed Biddeford specifically to artists," Ackerman says. "That's what Engine is going to do. You can revitalize downtown through the arts."
Point of Departure: Paintings by Diane Bowie Zaitlin
May 7 to September 4
Saco Museum, 371 Main St., Saco. 207-283-3861.
www.sacomuseum.org [6]
The Saco Museum is a small, regional museum of fine and decorative arts that has carved out a distinctive place for itself on the contemporary art scene, often by co-presenting exhibitions with other arts groups. The feature exhibition this summer is an historical show, "Voyages and the Great Age of Sail," undertaken with the University of New England.
The museum's hallway display cases, meanwhile, will be devoted to small works by Saco artist Diane Bowie Zaitlin. "Point of Departure" is focused on a new body of work created during Art Week, an artist residency program operated by painter Anina Porter Fuller, a niece of Fairfield and Eliot Porter, on Great Spruce Head Island in Penobscot Bay. Zaitlin was one of a dozen artists selected for the Art Week program.
Though Zaitlin works a great deal in encaustic these days, she spent her time on Great Spruce Head taking photographs, drawing, and making small collages and acrylic paintings. "Most of the painters were plein air painters. I was kind of the token abstract artist," she says.
While the other artists were out exploring the island landscape, Zaitlin was captivated by a huge stump, which she drew almost as a human torso, and by the island farmhouse's antique kitchen, where she made rubbings of graters, shredders, and other domestic utensils that supply the texture and content of her expressive collages and acrylics.
Critters, Farm Animals, Wildlife, Pets
April 10 to July 20
University of New England Art Gallery, 716 Stevens Ave., Portland. 207-221-4499.
www.une.edu/artgallery/index.cfm [7]
Curator and former gallery owner Nancy Davidson has now organized eight art exhibitions around the subject of animals. "Critters, Farm Animals, Wildlife, Pets," her latest edition, features animal art by more than one hundred artists filling all three floors of the little modernist cube and spilling out onto the gallery grounds.
"Whether people are very erudite and sophisticated or know nothing at all about art, animals appeal to everyone. That's why I've always done this show," Davidson explains.
This fun, accessible exhibition includes a lively mix of critters created by artists ranging from Maine icons Bernard Langlais and Dahlov Ipcar to sculptors such as Lise Becu, Ed Gamble, Carole Hanson, Cheryl Lichwell, Cabot Lyford, and Steve Lindsay and even some emblematic Weimaraners by photographer William Wegman.
In the early 1960s, before there were any serious art galleries in Portland, Davidson helped organize the Temple Beth El art shows that brought modern art to Maine. She managed the Cry of the Loon Gallery in Casco, had her own gallery, Davidson & Daughters, in Portland, and spent nearly a decade running Studio E Gallery in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Having grown up in a Portland relatively devoid of art, Davidson marvels at the contemporary art destination the city has become. "The First Friday Art Walk," she says, "is a positive culture shock."
First Friday Art Walk
May 6, June 3, July 1, August 5
Portland Arts & Cultural Alliance, 549 Congress St., Portland. 207-772-6828.
www.portlandarts.org [8]
The energy surrounding Portland's First Friday Art Walk, is palpable. As many as eighty-six venues — from galleries to coffee shops and jewelry stores — organize openings on the first Friday of the month. The streets are filled with people, the galleries glow with art, street performers, and vendors crowd the sidewalks. "There are two thousand people wandering around the city on First Friday who wouldn't be here otherwise," says Jennifer Hutchins, the new director of the Portland Arts & Cultural Alliance, which has coordinated First Friday since 2007. "The restaurants look like the North End of Boston on Saturday nights. There are lines out the door."
This summer, says Hutchins, Portland will close several blocks of downtown Congress Street to create a larger pedestrian area and a free trolley will make a loop from the Congress Street Arts District through the Old Port to the East End and back.
A typical First Friday art crawl might hit some of the major commercial galleries from Aucocisco Galleries on Exchange Street to Whitney Fine Art, June Fitzpatrick, Gleason Fine Art, and Susan Maasch Fine Art on Congress Street as well as several of the funkier galleries such as Constellation, 9 Hands, Sylvia Kania, and Two Point Gallery. The must-stops, however, are the Institute for Contemporary Art at the Maine College of Art, the not-for-profit SPACE Gallery, and the Portland Museum of Art, which offers free admission during the Art Walk.
Tim Clorius: Conversation Piece
May 18 to June 11
Aucocisco Galleries, 89 Exchange St., Portland. 207-775-2222.
www.aucocisco.com [9]
Tim Clorius, a tall, articulate German painter, came to Portland a decade ago to study painting at Maine College of Art with Gail Spaien, Sean Foley, Honor Mack, and Ellen Lesperance. "Gail told me, 'You have a very strange sense of color, but hang on to that,' " Clorius recalls.
Clorius is a rare breed of artist, one like the late Jean-Michel Basquiat, who is as comfortable in the street as a tagger or graffiti artist as in the studio as a fine artist. As SUBONE (Supplying Urban Beautification, Offering New Experiences), he creates legal aerosol art in Portland and cities all over the country. In his Congress Street studio, he paints small, exquisite, art historical paintings, dark, cryptic little narrative oils with an apocalyptic look and feel.
The title of Clorius' Aucocisco show, "Conversation Piece," refers to the eighteenth-century British convention of painting group portraits of people engaged in genteel conversation, usually outdoors. Both personal and political, Clorius' small oils are informed by both his dread and his outrage. Several express opposition to genetic engineering. Others deal with an ambivalence about Christianity, the vagaries of how value is determined in the art world, and the anxieties of bringing a child into this perilous world, as Clorius did eight months ago.
"What the art world really wants is more work that expresses what is in the heart without compromise," insists Tim Clorius. "We make art in this generation to express our fears."
2011 Portland Museum of Art Biennial
April 7 to June 5
Portland Museum of Art, 7 Congress Sq., Portland. 207-775-6148.
www.portlandmuseum.org [10]
There is no better occasion to take the pulse and temperature of the contemporary art scene in Maine than the Portland Museum Of Art Biennial. More than nine hundred artists submitted 3,600 entries to the 2011 biennial. Just sixty-six works by forty-seven artists, most of whom are full-time Maine residents, were selected by a jury consisting of New York art dealer Jim Kempner; painter David Row, who grew up in Portland, lives in New York, and summers on Cushing Island; and Joanna Marsh, a curator of contemporary art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
Knowledgeable viewers go to large, open, juried exhibitions such as the PMA Biennial both to see what's new in art and to discover new talent. In 2011, Natasha Bowdoin is that new talent. Bowdoin grew up in West Kennebunk. Most of her relatives are lobstermen. Her late father was a well-known stonemason and racecar driver. She majored in painting and classics at Brandeis, earned a masters of fine art degree at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and now teaches at Glassell School of Art in Houston.
Bowdoin's subject is language and how we create meaning with it. Her entry in the biennial is a large conceptual wall painting on cut paper that resembles nothing quite so much as clumps of seaweed swaying in underwater currents. Upon closer examination, however, there are words written on the fronds.
In fact, Bowdoin's installation, Untitled (Alice), is a work-in-progress, an evocation of underwater plant life upon which she is transcribing the text of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The biennial piece includes three-quarters of the former and a bit of the later.
Bowdoin's fusion of text and natural forms is just the sort of painting that defines post-modern art. She is very much a part of the international art dialogue, but her Maine roots show. "I haven't really gotten an opportunity to show my work in Maine even though that's where I'm from," she says. "I entered the biennial because I wanted to show my people what I've been doing."

Treatments and drugs
By Mayo Clinic staffAcne treatments work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, reducing the inflammation or doing all four. With most prescription acne treatments, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better.
Your doctor or dermatologist may recommend a prescription medication you apply to your skin (topical medication) or take by mouth (oral medication). Oral prescription medications for acne should not be used during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester.
Types of acne treatments include:
- Over-the-counter topical treatments. Acne lotions may dry up the oil, kill bacteria and promote sloughing of dead skin cells. Over-the-counter (OTC) lotions are generally mild and contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, salicylic acid or sulfur as their active ingredient. These products can be helpful for very mild acne. OTC acne medications may cause initial side effects — such as skin irritation, dryness and flaking — that often improve after the first month of therapy.
Topical treatments available by prescription. If your acne doesn't respond to OTC treatments, consider seeing a doctor or dermatologist to get a stronger prescription lotion. Tretinoin (Avita, Retin-A, others), adapalene (Differin) and tazarotene (Tazorac, Avage) are examples of topical prescription products derived from vitamin A. They work by promoting cell turnover and preventing plugging of the hair follicles. A number of topical antibiotics also are available. They work by killing excess skin bacteria.
Often, a combination of such products is required to achieve optimal results. A number of benzoyl peroxide and antibiotic combination medications are available, including different dose combinations of benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin (Benzaclin, Duac, Acanya) and benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin (Benzamycin). Dapsone gel (Aczone) is a newer acne treatment that's particularly effective in treating inflammatory acne. Prescription topical treatments for acne may cause skin side effects, such as stinging, burning, redness or peeling. Your doctor may recommend steps to minimize these side effects, including using a gradually increased dose, washing off the medication after a short application or switching to another medication.
- Antibiotics. For moderate to severe acne, you may need a short course of prescription oral antibiotics to reduce bacteria and fight inflammation. Since oral antibiotics were first used to treat acne, antibiotic resistance has increased significantly in people with acne. For this reason, your doctor likely will recommend tapering off these medications as soon as your symptoms begin to improve, or as soon as it becomes clear the drugs aren't helping — usually, within three to four months. In most cases, you'll use topical medications and oral antibiotics together. Studies have found that using topical benzoyl peroxide along with oral antibiotics may reduce the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics may cause side effects, such as an upset stomach, dizziness or skin discoloration. These drugs also increase your skin's sun sensitivity and may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.
Isotretinoin. For deep cysts, antibiotics may not be enough. Isotretinoin (Amnesteem, Claravis, Sotret) is a powerful medication available for scarring cystic acne or acne that doesn't respond to other treatments. This medicine is reserved for the most severe forms of acne. It's very effective, but people who take it need close monitoring by a dermatologist because of the possibility of severe side effects. Isotretinoin is associated with severe birth defects, so it can't be safely taken by pregnant women or women who may become pregnant during the course of treatment or within several weeks of concluding treatment. In fact, the drug carries such serious potential side effects that women of reproductive age must participate in a Food and Drug Administration-approved monitoring program to receive a prescription for the drug.
Isotretinoin commonly causes side effects — such as dry eyes, mouth, lips, nose and skin, as well as itching, nosebleeds, muscle aches, sun sensitivity and poor night vision. The drug may also increase the levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood and may increase liver enzyme levels.
In addition, isotretinoin may be associated with an increased risk of depression and suicide. Although this causal relationship has not been proved, doctors remain on alert for these signs in people who are taking isotretinoin. If you feel unusually sad or unable to cope while taking this drug, tell your doctor immediately.
- Oral contraceptives. Oral contraceptives, including a combination of norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol (Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Previfem, others), can improve acne in women. However, oral contraceptives may cause other side effects — such as headaches, breast tenderness, nausea and depression — that you'll want to discuss with your doctor. The most serious potential complication is a slightly increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and blood clots.
- Laser and light therapy. Laser- and light-based therapies reach the deeper layers of skin without harming the skin's surface. Laser treatment is thought to damage the oil (sebaceous) glands, causing them to produce less oil. Light therapy targets the bacteria that cause acne inflammation. These therapies can also improve skin texture and lessen the appearance of scars. More research is needed to understand the most effective use of light and laser therapies in acne treatment, and experts currently recommend these approaches as stand-alone therapy only in people who can't tolerate approved acne medications. These therapies may be uncomfortable and may cause temporary skin problems that mimic a severe sunburn.
- Cosmetic procedures. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion may be helpful in controlling acne. These cosmetic procedures — which have traditionally been used to lessen the appearance of fine lines, sun damage and minor facial scars — are most effective when used in combination with other acne treatments. They may cause temporary, severe redness, scaling and blistering, and long-term discoloration of the skin.
Acne scar treatment
Doctors may be able to use certain procedures to diminish scars left by acne. These include fillers, dermabrasion, intense light therapy and laser resurfacing.
- Soft tissue fillers. Collagen or fat can be injected under the skin and into scars to fill out or stretch the skin, making the scars less noticeable. Results from this acne scar treatment are temporary, so you need to repeat the injections periodically.
- Chemical peels. High-potency acid is applied to your skin to remove the top layer and minimize deeper scars. Some stronger peels reach even deeper into the skin.
- Dermabrasion. Usually reserved for more severe scarring, dermabrasion involves removing the top layer of skin with a rapidly rotating wire brush. Surface scars may be completely removed, and deeper acne scars may appear less noticeable. Dermabrasion may cause pigmentation changes for people with darker skin.
- Microdermabrasion. This newer acne scar treatment involves a hand-held device that blows crystals onto skin. These crystals gently abrade or "polish" the skin's surface. Then, a vacuum tube removes the crystals and skin cells. Because just the surface cells are removed, the skin isn't damaged. However, results are subtle and scars may still be noticeable, even after several sessions.
- Laser, light source and radiofrequency treatments. In laser resurfacing, a laser beam destroys the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis). As the wound heals, new skin forms. Less intense lasers (nonablative lasers), pulsed light sources and radiofrequency devices don't injure the epidermis. These treatments heat the dermis and cause new skin formation. After several treatments, acne scars may appear less noticeable. This means shorter recovery times, but treatment typically needs to be repeated more often and results are subtle.
- Skin surgery. A minor procedure (punch excision) cuts out individual acne scars. Stitches or a skin graft repairs the hole left at the scar site.

One Million Years: Political And Religious Unification
POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS UNIFICATION DOMINANT PRINCIPLE OF OUR CYCLE -------------------------------------------------------------- Last night I watched ?As It Happened: 1929-The Wall Street Crash.?1 I could not help but reflect on the letters of Shoghi Effendi published in The World Order of Bah?'u'll?h in 1938. These letters had a different aim and a far larger scope than his first letters to the North American Baha?is from 1922 to 1929. These letters, these communications, from 1929 to 1936 unfolded for the Baha?is a much clearer vision than they had previously possessed of the relation between the Bah?'? community and the entire process of social evolution under the dispensation of Bah?'u'll?h. This body of letters were first written eight months before just the Wall Street crash and they continued during the depression. they were finally published in 1938 as war approach and the depression was finally ending. The period was one of the nadir?s of civilization. The distinction between the Bah?'? community and the sects and congregations of former religions were made apparent in these letters. These world order letters established in one volume, among other things, the Baha'i Administrative Order as the nucleus and pattern of the world civilization that was then emerging. In the introduction, Horace Holley, the then secretary of the American Baha'i community wrote: "In light of the existing international chaos, these letters reveal the most significant Truth of this era, namely that the old conception of religion, which separated spirituality from the fundamental functions of civilization, compelling men to abide by conflicting principles of faith, of politics and of economics, has been forever destroyed."2 -Ron Price with appreciation to 1SBS TV, 3 July 2009, 8:30-9:30 p.m. and 2Wikipedia, 4 July 2009. The dominant principle of this cycle is the political and religious unity of the human species--since the great... dispersal, radiation, homo erectus... hominid....Out-of-Africa 2 million years ago...establishment of sapien human lineage, genus homo, stone tools, a rudimentary technology.... homo heidelbergensis, 500,000 ya & homo neanderthalenis-physical anthropology?s branch and cultural and social anthropology telling us of clans, tribes, chiefdoms, then? city-states, nations and now global ......yes....going global since perhaps early explorers, say, a 1000 years of travel on the waters of the earth now ....... overnight it?s one world on our way for another 500,000 years of political and religious unification?that?s the trip we are now on day by day in the midst of a tempest, fiery and furious.

More Homework, Heavier Books, Sore Shoulders
Reduction and/or regulation of the weight of school textbooks is necessary. Each school year millions of children walk to, from and around school carrying backpacks filled with textbooks and materials. Back to school should not mean backaches and pains, but for students who use backpacks, it could mean a visit to a clinic, a hospital, or even an emergency room. Everyone from parents to school administration staffs have started to voice concern about safe weights of backpacks. Backpack-related injuries have increased 256 percent since 1996. In 2000, the Consumer Product Safety Commission tracked visits to physician offices, clinics, and hospital emergency rooms related to backpacks. Children 3-11 years old had a total of 5,531 visits. Children 12-17 years old visited 6,960 times, while students ages 18-21 had 773 visits. In 2001, of the 6,512 children treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries related to backpacks, 54 percent, 3,524, involved children ages five to fourteen. Among the undersigned are students, parents, teachers, school administrators, and doctors who acknowledge that lighter textbooks in schools are essential and would prevent a majority of backpack-related health problems.

Back in 2010, Bethany Cosentino demonstrated that even as a member of the aw-shucks indie rock club, it was possible to become a near-cultural icon with just a few addictive songs, some raw personality, and an active Twitter feed. As Best Coast, her band, grew in popularity, the world found at least as much of a celebrity in Cosentino as a musical artist. Some corners of the Internet became obsessed, churning out acres of type about her boyfriend (Nathan, of the slackery guitar band Wavves), her cat (Snacks, with 10,000 Twitter followers), and the now-25-year-old's post-millennial charm: She was cute, stoned, a little self-obsessed, and radically accessible via Twitter and constant online interviews. Covered (and savaged) by blogs like Hipster Runoff the way a Hollywood star would be offered up in a supermarket rag, Cosentino ascended to indie-pop ubiquity. She became a star — like a lesser-known Zooey Deschanel, only way cooler; a Taylor Swift for the... More >>>

Police seek robbery suspect
One man was arrested and another is being sought as a suspect in the armed robbery of a woman in Salinas Friday morning.
Police said the woman had parked her car in the 600 block of North Sanborn Road shortly after 10 a.m. and was walking with her purse slung on her shoulder when a man, later identified as Marcos Zamora, 21, walked up and pointed a gun at her.
The robber demanded the purse, police said, and the woman handed it over.
He then ran to the 900 block of North Madiera Street, police said, and officers tracked Zamora to his home in the 1300 block of Garner Avenue.
Police arrested Steven Lopez, 24, as he left the residence, and then searched the house.
Zamora was gone, police said, but cash and valuables belonging to the victim were recovered. Lopez was booked into Monterey County Jail for robbery, possession of stolen property and gang crimes.

She was then taken by ambulance to a San Francisco Bay Area hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 10 p.m. Saturday, police said.
The names of the child and the driver have not been released by police.

Baby-soft wrist rattles and foot finders encourage discovery. Bright patterns and faces, with fun sounds to reward exploration. Ideal for developing hand-to-eye coordination skills.
good for babies not able to hold a rattle, gives them some colour and noise to focus on. very quick delivery.
These are easy to use but my son doesn't interact with them. He is 3 months and maybe he is a little young??? never the less I like them :)
I bought these Lamaze hand and foot finders for my 7 week old daughter, after being reccomended them by a friend. Well i think they are fantastic, she already lifts her arms up to look at the hand rattles. They ate so bright, fun and stimulating for any baby. A real good buy. Lamaze do some amazing baby products xx
I haven't used it yet as baby hasn't arrived yet but it looks great, really bright and colourful and I can't wait to use them.
My granddaughter loved this, she is 4 months and teething and stopped crying immediately we put these on her and was happily amused for more than an hour! wonderful to find an interactive toy that a young baby can use!

the annoying sound the elevator makes as it reaches each floor.
The location is perfect. The concierge Ryan was the best. The amenities were good.
Free laundry room is excellent.
Room is quite small. TV remote control is hard to use.
I didnt like the fact that you didnt have WiFi , I purchased a week package from Ibahn and it didnt work very good at all, I finished up connecting to the mgm WiFi , it was free, I asked Ibanh for a refund but I havnet heard from them,
- Best Location - Room was very large and included all facilities.
- No Breakfast - I didn't like the smell of the towels.
Good Location
better room service
The hotel is probably one of the few that is just that. Most other venues are a combination of hotel, casinos, shops and more. The location is perfect as the building is somewhat away from the busy and noisy boulevard. And more over you are within walking distance of the big hotels that have the free shows on like the water fountains at the Bellagio or the vulcano show at the Mirage. There is a friendly welcome when you check in and you are bombarded with information and offers After that you can stay pretty anonymous. The room was not so big but comfortable. A nice sofa/bed, a small desk and a flat screen TV with a good selection of channels. A small kitchen with a microwave, coffee machine, refrigerator, cutlery, etc allows for your own simple cooking. If you ask for a room on one of the upper floors (18 or 19) facing the strip you can have nice views, especially at night from the balcony. Internet is not free but you can get a good WiFi connection for $ 7,95/day (October 2013) via the iBahn provider. Breakfast is not included but there are many breakfast options nearby. To my surprise the room was not made up and the towels were not refreshed after returning from the day out. Staying in about 80 different hotels each year this was a first, interesting. After contacting the front desk about this this issue was resolved within 10 minutes but still...... Otherwise had a pleasant stay and this hotel has a good price/quality ratio.
It was great location on the dtrip
When I booked the room, we ended uo with a studio but it only had a shower. No where on the booking site did it say this so we had to upgrade. Also no restaurants
position was great just off the strip and nearly central
It was much more that I expected, amazing!
Convenient to Strip
Separate charge for wifi connection
No casino and location .
Would be nice if had a place to eat , breakfast - brunch .
We staid in Polo Towers for two nights (total: 118$ x2) and one night in Paris hotel (total: 180$) for comparation. As result for the next time we will stay in Polo Towers definitely as it was more convinient despite lower price and has optimal combination of good location, price, and facilities for comfortable staying. The room has a kitchen with everything we need (fridge, oven, coffee, plates for fruits, and glasses for a red wine which we could not get in Paris). Other advantages: The room has a balcony (no in a Paris); 5 min for Check-in (in Paris we waited for ~40min). I would say if you spend one day and need a "pathos" take a Paris if stay for some days and need a convinience - Polo Towers for you!
Nothing, only one day it was a small reconstruction of elevator hall.
Location and balcony
Worst bathtop ever. Noisy rooms. No view as promised - looked right into a concrete building from the balcony. No chance to get another room. No cleaning.
Condision was very noisy
Convenience to The Strip and no casino
Staff was extremely friendly The location is just perfect: it's just 1 minute walk to the Strip but also you can sleep very well because you can hear no noise. Moreover when I visited Bellaggio and saw all these dreadful lines to check-in and check-out I felt that I had been lucky to choose Polo towers. I think it's really one of the best choices in Las Vegas.
clean room and nice service, in the middle of the stript but very quiet
The Polo Towers was great for its location. It sits a half block from Las Vegas Blvd. Once on the strip you can turn left and go to MGM, New york New york, Excalibur/Luxor/ Mandalay bay all within 5-15 minute walk/tram. Turn right and Planet Hollywood is right next door and across the street is monte carlo/aria/the cosmopolitan. The Hotel is essentially a time share location and is very private and very quiet. Need a room key to get into elevator which is great and the rooftop pool/hot tub was fantastic even though the view was mostly blocked by the 6 foot solid wall all the way around the roof. Walking or taxi the entire strip is nearby. no more than $15 to take a taxi anywhere even to the airport. The store in the hotel was great had anything you wanted...they also have a free shuttle to the grocery store if you want to go. A walgreens was within 5 minutes walking distance as well. A free shuttle to freemont street everynight! The bell desk was there to help and they were very good. The concierge was great as well though if staying as a hotel guest and not a time share owner than they try to sell to you every day. Great place to stay for all types of people and the price was great for location.
No Airport shuttle even though many of the travel websites have them listed as having one. but $15 taxi to airport is not bad. Pool closes at 12am. you would think this being a timeshare place that the pool would be open 24/7. had trouble with key card not working on the elevator. had to get three new keys in 5 days because the desk employees kept forgetting to put the right expiration date on the card. Only one ice machine...thats right only one ice machine in the entire hotel. and for us it was 10 floors up and all the way across the hotel floor. not spending very much time in our room...but the queen bed rooms are small and the queen bed was not a queen bed...it was a pullout couch...not the most comfortable thing but you get what you pay for.
Big Warning. Be very careful about how they charge you. They just took 80 dollars from my card. No slip no telling. Then I realised it after ten days I had to do a lot of telefoncalls and mailing for getting back my money. I didn´t got any explanation or excuse they just ignored me. They also run a hard marketing for making you buy timeshare holidays. I dont think the place is a seriuos hotel. Rather a hustler one.
Location about half a block off the strip. Having a kitchenette.
Bit noisy could hear conversations through the walls. Concierge leaving multiple messages re time shares
The location was a good launching point for a Vegas trip. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The room was beautiful and comfortable
No restaurant or casino. A little pricy for someone who is on a budget.
good Staff
no breakfast, noisy, adominabel frontdesk furniture,
Great spot very near to the Strip. Clean, comfortable and luxurious rooms. Nice swimming pool and spa on roof of the hotel. Free parking in center of town.
Very comfortable bed, great view, swimming pools, friendly staff No problem to get a crib or high chair for the baby.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans have re-signed their kick returner Darius Reynaud to a one-year contract.
The Titans announced the deal Thursday.
Reynaud joined the Titans last year as a free agent and wound up handling both punt and kick returns after Marc Mariani broke his leg in the preseason.
Reynaud returned two punts for touchdowns and a kickoff for a third TD, and he ranked third in the NFL averaging 13.2 yards on punt returns. He also was the AFC special teams player for September.
He also helped at running back with 16 carries for 33 yards and five catches for 35 yards.

G Burger is one of those places that always comes up when we talk about the best burgers in Orange County. We touted it as a great example of gourmet quality (that's what the G stands for) without a rip-off price, and over at Stick A Fork In It, it's making a good showing in the Game of Burgers bracket. Yet when I scoured our archive looking for mention of the La Habra spot, I found little except a lot of glowing recommendations from readers.
It's not often I'm up in La Habra, but I find my visit was painfully overdue. There's a reason these burgers are often mentioned in the same breath as Mick's Karma Bar and Peter's Gourmade Grill. Quality speaks for itself. Read the rest of this entry »

Many of the comments made under the cloak of anonymity would never be said if the speaker would be in a public forum or face to face. Because these things can be said without repercussion, many of the comments have become exceedingly rude and vulgar. I would love to see this trend reversed, but because that takes some personal discipline and self-control, I can't see it happening without some intervention like what the TC Palm is going to do. I don't like it, but I don't see another option. I don't agree with those who think this particular measure is liberal bias, I think it is in just plain good taste.
I do believe, however, a much bigger improvement can be made if there would be an editor involved in some of the "train wrecks" these journalists call articles. Our high school gossip paper had better written articles than what these 'professionals' are putting out. The thought patterns are scattered, the grammar is terrible. PLEASE TC Palm, improve your end of it first, you are supposed to set the standard!

I had a wonderful time in St Petersburg at this cute studio!!!! It is very well equiped, it has absolutely everything you may need!!!!The house is very quiet and the studio pretty private. The balcony is very nice and the street not that busy. Owner is quite friendly and knows the area.

If you need to be in downtown St. Petersburg, this is the place to stay. We have rented both the efficiency and the one bedroom and both are spotlessly clean, very well furnished with everything you would need and in a great location for walking to the stores and restaurants. There is also a dedicated parking spot that is a plus in an area where parking can sometimes be an issue. Highly recommended.

This studio apartment has so much to recommend it: great location, welcoming and gracious hosts,clean, compact space, comfortable beds, lovely balcony where we ate most of our meals and the linens supplied and laundry facilities available in the house. We would definitely give it high marks for a couple or individual who want to be near downtown St. Petersburg in a comfortable, modest studio. We are a couple from the New England who spent the third week in March at this location and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our hosts were so very helpful in giving directions and offering advice. We would definitely return to this studio.

We were so pleased to experience this comfortable efficiency apartment with well-planned amenities, making it our home away from home. The location was perfect, a short walk from tourist attractions, area parks, shopping, museums and other entertainment, as well as great restaurants. The proprietors were friendly and interested in enhancing our experience. We had a great stay in St. Petersburg!

"And Romney is far less polarizing than Obama. The president's election in 2008 was historic and cause for celebration, and we had hoped it would help heal political and societal divisions. But the opposite has happened, and it's tearing at the nation's fabric. The national tone is too mean, and much of that is because of Congress, where extremists have forgotten their charge is to do what's best for the nation."
And this is Obama's fault? The Republicans have vowed to bring down Obama by refusing to cooperate with him on anything. They would rather endanger this nation than work together with Democrats. Their evil intransigence is certainly not Obama's fault. This is mostly on them, not him!
I totally disagree with your endorsement of snake-oil salesman Romney. That you consider his oiliness "pragmatic" is more telling of your values than even of his. Romney has taken every position imaginable on every topic. If you don't agree with his policies, just wait a few minutes: they will change. The man has no core!
Obama has made mistakes, I realize, but he will do more for the middle class and the poor and elderly than Romney ever would. Thanks to Republicans' (IMO) unconstitutional gerrymandering, it is unlikely that Obama would have any chance to carry Texas anyway, so your endorsement of Romney is of little importance, but I still believe that you made the wrong decision.
Housemouse I could not have said it better, you are correct on all fronts, the Standard Times is wrong, they are simply not aware of the "facts".

I have always enjoyed your monthly stargazing articles in our island paper. Your charts are clean and easy to read. I also think it's wonderful for a professional astronomer to share science in a manner we can all learn and enjoy.

BY MARY COLE - Time is the great equalizer. We all have 24 hours in a day, and we never know when our time will be up. How we live our lives and use the time we have – how we approach love, compassion, work, aging, responsibility, family, forgiveness, and death—define who we are.

Sci Fi (general sci-fi, not too technical)
If anyone is interested, please let me know. PM me, or post below. Also, if you're interested in creating a story or plot with me to be a Co-GM for a roleplay tab then please let me know as well!

Huntington Bank will add more than 500 new jobs statewide, twenty of the jobs will be in northern Michigan.
Huntington Bank will add three new branches in area Meijer stores. It's part of a statewide expansion for Huntington in partnership with Meijer that will ultimately create more than 80 new locations statewide.
Through the partnership, Huntington will open its first branch in Cadillac in October, and in August will open its first Gaylord branch along with a new Meijer branch in Petoskey. The agreement will also create another Huntington branch in Traverse City in the next few years.
With the 10-year agreement, Huntington will install seven-day-a-week, full-service branches in dozens of Meijer stores throughout Michigan over the course of the next several years.
"Meijer is very pleased to enter into this business relationship with Huntington Bank," said Mark Murray, president of the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer. "We welcome Huntington as they bring this commitment to Meijer customers throughout the state of Michigan."
The bank is also using another Michigan company, Steelcase, to design the offices.
"Our partnership with Meijer and Steelcase exemplifies all three companies' continued support of their local markets throughout the state of Michigan," noted Jim Dunlap, regional and commercial banking director for Huntington. "Huntington will continue to significantly invest in the economic health and well-being of Michigan, and all of our regions in the Midwest."

La Parrilla Colombian Steakhouse
Online Reservations
The service was amazing. A group of six came for a birthday and couldn't be happier. The food was outstanding, the drinks were delicious, and the service even better. The waiter was more than accommodating to all of us and sincerely cared about our dining experience. He suggested drinks, meals, and even made a special water with mint and lime for someone who doesn't drink but wanted something milder. The steak meals were all delicious perfectly matched with yukka, potatoes and chimichurri. Can't wait to come here again. It's a perfect ambiance for a group and even couples on a romantic date.
I came here for my birthday. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly. Our server was attentive & he made sure to check on us during dinner to make sure we didn't need anything else. Prices were reasonable and the food was amazing. Will definitely be back!!
On Saturday I put together an outing for 9 Red Hat ladies starting at the Galos Salt Caves right down the block in the Jolly Inn Restaurant followed by a lunch. Most expected that we would then eat there. But I like to do things a little differentlhy and I had been at La Parrilla once before with a larger group for lunch oast summer. Food, services and prices were excellent so decided to take these ladies there also. None of them had ever been heard of it before but all were very happy with the experience. Most had the lunch specials ($5.95) with a side or two and all were completely satisfied. Our wonderful waiter (sorry didn't get his name) was very attentive and had no problem giving us separate checks. We will be back!!
Great food for the price!! service was excellent and really cared! Great choice for dinner and ambiance!
