10Best Continental
(Restaurants - Continental)
100 Front St W, Fairmont Royal York, Toronto M5J 1E3 416-860-6949
Distance: ~40 m *
DOWNTOWN. As one of the Fairmont Royal York's dining rooms, EPIC is guaranteed to impress, whether at breakfast or brunch, lunch, or dinner. All meals are lavishly prepared by a skilled chef, and menus change frequently to capitalize on seasonal fare. Innovative dishes combine the best ingredients in exciting combinations for amazing outcomes. Enjoy attentive, first-rate service and delectable food this is the way life was meant to be.
Canyon Creek Chophouse
(Restaurants - Continental)
156 Front St W, Toronto M5J 2L6 416-596-2240
Distance: ~187 m *
DOWNTOWN. The rustic stone, wood and leather decor of Canyon Creek is the perfect counterpart for its menu of steaks, fish and chops. Steak purists will be delighted with their options simply grilled top quality beef, served with salad and potato or rice. Of course, there are other equally good choices, including cedar planked salmon, double cut pork chops, lamb and veal chops, and a fabulous chipotle sirloin. Save room for the signature dessert: bread pudding studded with brandy-soaked cranberries and white and dark chocolate chunks. Solid wine list.
(Restaurants - Continental)
66 Wellington St W, TD Centre, Toronto M5J 2W4 416-777-1144
Distance: ~207 m *
DOWNTOWN. Chef Mark McEwen (of North 44° fame) has a loyal following one meal here, and you'll be joining the fan club. The space itself is attractive: uncluttered, with smooth lines and a muted color palette, it's a nice foil for McEwen's contemporary Continental cuisine. Foie gras is pan-seared and paired with the acidic tang of rhubarb compote and crunch of onion tempura. The signature Bymark Burger is topped with brie, pancetta, grilled porcini, shaved truffles and crisp onion rings. USDA Prime steaks, scallops with crab ravioli, whole roasted sea bream with fennel confit it's all good. Each dish on the menu has a by-the-glass wine suggestion. Dinner is undeniably pricey, but lunch is just as good with less wallet impact.
360 Restaurant
(Restaurants - Continental)
301 Front St W, CN Tower, Toronto M5V 2T6 416-362-5411
Distance: ~0.559 km *
DOWNTOWN. Upscale dining is a pleasure at 360, which is located in the CN Tower and boasts some of the most spectacular views in the city. The restaurant also revolves slowly while you dine, so you get more than just a single, fixed vista of Toronto. Lunch and dinner menus offer elegant choices, such as blackened quail, scallops in the shell, and rack of lamb. A la carte and prix fixe menus are both available for dinner. Reservations are essential. The ordinary elevator fee is waived with the purchase of an entree.

Hot House Cafe
(Restaurants - Continental)
35 Church St, Market Square, Toronto M5E 1T3 416-366-7800
Distance: ~0.760 km *
DOWNTOWN. Hot House Cafe's Sunday brunch buffet from 9:30am - 3pm includes traditional breakfast favorites, numerous pastas, beef and seafood specialties, a divine dessert table, plus an impressive salad bar. Accompanied by live jazz, it's a fun experience not to be missed. The rest of the week, the cafe satisfies hungry diners with hearty and innovative Italian pastas, gourmet pizzas, and an interesting range of International entrees such as an Asian chicken stir fry, Indian-style curried shrimp, and jambalaya. Plenty of creative vegetarian dishes, burgers, steaks, and a good selection of wine and cocktails, too.

Paddington's Pump Restaurant
(Restaurants - Continental)
91 Front St E, St. Lawrence Market South, Toronto M5E 1C2 416-368-6955
Distance: ~0.878 km *
DOWNTOWN. At Paddington's, you can choose something from their all-day breakfast selections or try out a gourmet sandwich option, depending on your mood. Both are undoubtedly good. The most famous dish served is "The Oink" a bacon sandwich that has been much praised by regulars and even critics from the Boston "Globe."

Starfish Oyster Bed & Grill
(Restaurants - Continental)
100 Adelaide St E, Toronto M5C 1K9 416-366-7827
Distance: ~0.927 km *
DOWNTOWN. Oyster lovers, rejoice! This is a most amazing place, with a huge selection of oysters from around the world. Choices change daily, depending on what's available, but you might find malpeques from Prince Edward Island, kumamotos from Washington, Clarenbridge Bays from Ireland or Glidden Points from Maine. The rest of the menu is comprised almost entirely of seafood, but steak frites or duck on spatzle are good alternatives.
Peter Pan
(Restaurants - Continental)
373 Queen St W, Toronto M5V 2A4 416-593-0917
Distance: ~1.025 km *
DOWNTOWN. A long-standing Toronto classic, Peter Pan has been around for years, starting out as the place to go pre-prom or for a special anniversary. Over the years, the place morphed into a hippie hangout, but these days it flourishes as a friendly, casual bistro. The diverse international menu appeals to an equally diverse crowd. It's ideal if no one in your group can agree on whether to have Italian or Chinese, and there's one holdout that's hankering for a burger or a steak. The food is good, the ambience is welcoming, and the wine list includes several by-the-glass options.
(Restaurants - Continental)
111C Queen St E, Queen Richmond Centre, Toronto M5C 1S2 416-863-6006
Distance: ~1.058 km *
DOWNTOWN. A meal at George consists of a succession of inventive and flavor-packed small plates. A five-course meal at its finest, the menu may have you start with yellow fin tuna with a mixture of salads and black olive, then move on to tandoori hen with white lasagna and mushrooms. The third course could be beef striploin and potato empanadas or Pacific halibut seasoned with Brazilian nut curry and cauliflower salad. A cheese course follows, and dessert is the grand finale try the chocolate espresso ganache cake with caramelized pineapple and caramel sabayon.
Dufflet Pastries
(Restaurants - Continental)
787 Queen St W, Toronto M6J 1G1 416-504-2870
Distance: ~2.136 km *
WEST TORONTO. Opened by pastry chef Dufflet Rosenberg in 1982, this much-loved bakery has become one of Ontario's most popular purveyors of wedding cakes, party trays and special treats for folks who feel the need for a little pampering. Whole cakes, pies and tarts fill the cases, but you'll want to investigate all the wonderful little individual baby bundt cakes, tiny tarts, and charming cakelets, a selection unmatched anywhere in Toronto. Whether your Achilles heel is fruity or chocolaty, spicy or buttery, Dufflet has created something especially for you. Go ahead. Indulge!

The uproar over Obama's remarks concerning small businesses continues to proceed. I wrote about it yesterday. Hopefully, this will help wake up America from running on auto-pilot so that they see the need to turn this president out of office.
Leave it to Allen West to put it succinctly:
By the President's logic, you have not earned your success and only government has made your success possible. Therefore, government should be able to decide what fruits of your success you get to keep. That's why the President's campaign is based entirely on class warfare, demonizing successful Americans and redistributing wealth. President Obama's policies haven't just failed, they are dangerous. The President will only continue to make matters worse for Americans of all incomes, ages, gender, race and religion. Watch and share this video.
I hope West gets the VP nod. He would be a great addition to the Romney campaign. I understand that Romney may be announcing his VP soon. It will take the attention off the current lie of the day coming from our president about how Romney is a felon because Romney left Bain Capital when Obama says so, not when Romney, the Security and Exchanges Commission or the Washington Post says so. In other words, the liar and chief is going to repeat this lie so many times that the people, who given no thought at all, will think it is the truth.
It is not as if those records by the SEC are not open, unlike Obama's income tax returns, documents concerning Fast and Furious, his college transcripts, and anything else of interest concerning Mr. President. Remember, he said his administration would be the most open administration in history, but he continues to keep every thing closed. He lied again.

Listen Up
Drake (Feat. the Weeknd) - Crew Love (Shlohmo Remix)
Here it is, the first piece of actual music posted on my blog.
The best remixes both provide a new POV on a track and flesh out its best qualities. L.A. producer Shlohmo has turned "Crew Love," a highlight from Drake's overlong-but-still-good Take Care, and injected a large dose of codeine directly into its femoral artery. The opening drum salvo, peppy - at least for the Weeknd - in the original track, takes on a languid, heavy-lidded quality in Shlohmo's version, especially when surrounded by evil-sounding synths and those firefly drips of percussion. Drake, typically the weakest part of his own tracks, spits a fine verse on "Love," now further improved by being chopped & screwed. This was really a Weeknd track to begin with, and the remix cements that. Smoke some weed under star projectors.
(PS - Yep, the title's a Coach Taylor reference.)

Creamy Peanut Kale
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos
1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 bunch kale, chopped
1. In a pan, heat vegetable oil. Fry garlic and onions, until translucent. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix peanut butter, Bragg's, broth/water, and spices until the peanut butter has dissolved, and it has turned saucy.
2. Add kale to the pan, and cook until the leaves are dark green and wilted.
3. Add the peanut butter sauce to the pan. If it is too dry, add broth/water to reach desired consistency.
SO delicious. I used mushrooms and broccoli over rice. The peanut sauce was great, and I had leftover to put on... anything! It would be great with kimchi, too.
I used coconut aminos, chunky peanut butter and garam masala. It's now a staple in our home. Thank you!
Delicious! We added some maple syrup to the sauce to sweeten it and ate over spelt pasta.
Absolutely love this recipe! Was one of the first times I tried kale and this was absolutely delicious! Even my picky eater omnivore two year old loved it. Served it mixed with a quinoa pilaf. Scrumptious. Will definitely use again.
This dish was pretty good. I used spicy peanut butter and added chili paste for some. I think next time I will decrease the coriander to 1/4 tsp and add some kind of vinegar. I think it needed a lil acidity otherwise the dish was good. Thank you for sharing.
Made this tonight with very minor adjustments:
Crunchy peanut butter
1TB bragg's and extra water (trying to decrease my sodium intake)
Red pepper flakes instead of chili powder (didn't have any)
Ate it all by itself, no rice/starch needed. Next time I will serve over quinoa. I was just pressed for time and didn't want to mess with rice/quinoa.
Yup, just like everyone says, this is awesome. I used a few handfuls of Trader Joe's Southern Greens Mix. DEEElish.
Wow... this shouldn't taste this good. It has KALE in it! YUCK haha
This was delicious, we made it extra saucy, and extra garlicy, and extra spicy. We didn't have coriander, but we upped the cumin and cayenne.
Serving it over brown rice, but it doesn't need anything.
Might also taste good with some fried up tofu, any gluten free type of noodles (they wouldn't absorb these flavors), and quinoa. YUM! Make this! You won't regret it!

Guest blog by Sophie Goulter, a GPP ambassador from New Zealand.
A wise lady once told me I don't have the power to change the world. She followed this by stating that, actually, I have the power to change many people's worlds. While this woman may have been trying to protect her younger sister from the frustration and challenges which accompany jobs in the aid and development sector, I believe she was incorrect. Perhaps she was not wrong in declaring that one girl from a small town in New Zealand couldn't right all of the injustices in the world. However, by suggesting that I may change many lives for the better offers evidence that I am changing the world, but only if everyone participates. For all it takes is everyone to change one person's world.
Confirmation that change is taking place is everywhere, just look at the young adults standing up in New Zealand. Organisations such as P3, Generation Zero, United Nations Youth, Regeneration and our very own Global Poverty Project are making waves in the national community. We are the generation to increase awareness and education on issues which may not be at the forefront of every Kiwi's mind. The fact that Wellington may now proudly declare itself to be a Fairtrade City is result of the actions of our like-minded peers. Furthermore, food for motivating thought, if this atmosphere of change is bubbling in this little capital, what is taking place out in the rest of the world at the international level?
A central theme of the Global Poverty Project philosophy is to advocate that initiating change is accessible. For those on a lowly student budget who can't donate significant amounts of money this fact is rather reassuring. This last month I challenged myself to create a way to instigate conversation concerning the eradication of poverty on a daily basis. And what was the result you query?
A simple, recycled, up-loved, organic cotton tote. Emblazoned on this bag is a small but significant number, 1.4. By utilising this means of subtle guerrillmarketing I effectively provoke the curiosity of those I encounter who wish to know the meaning behind 1.4. On a day-to-day basis, I estimate to be in contact with one hundred people at the minimum. A day at university would likely increase this quantity to a few hundred. Therefore, this bag holds great potential for initiating informative conversation in everyday life, all with relative ease. Perhaps even more importantly, my bag serves a firm reminder of how fortunate I am and how I am morally bound to enact the change I wish to see
My challenge to you? Find your unique way to create change.

Wisconsin's four interstates and U.S. 41 to the Fox Valley would be the most likely candidates for a 70 mph speed limit if a proposal to raise the limit became law.
Majority Leader Scott Suder is leaving the state Assembly.
A proposal to increase Wisconsin's speed limit to 70 mph may race through the state Assembly, but it appears to be headed for a speed bump or two in the Senate and with Gov. Scott Walker.
A proposal that would make it illegal for Wisconsin employers to ask workers or job applicants to turn over their passwords to social media accounts such as Facebook is moving forward in the Legislature.
Democrats challenged a pair of Republican lawmakers Thursday to prove measures for tougher drunken driving penalties would actually make a difference, demanding to see statistics and data that would justify the bills' costs.
Republicans who control the state Legislature have amassed a huge cash advantage over Democrats as the GOP works to retain and increase its hold on the Assembly and Senate in 2014.
Three Catholic hospital systems can't deny abortion providers admitting privileges, the Wisconsin Department of Justice said in a legal filing.
Over the last two weeks dozens of singing protesters have risked arrest and $200 tickets rather than apply for permits to skewer Gov. Scott Walker in the Capitol rotunda.
Gov. Scott Walker is seeking federal disaster aid for 11 Wisconsin counties and the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa after June flooding caused more than $9.2 million in damage to roads and infrastructure.
Two Republican legislators started moving a package of proposals to toughen Wisconsin's drunken driving penalties through the state Assembly on Thursday, saying lawmakers must signal that repeat offenses won't be tolerated.
Gov. Scott Walker says he is open to limiting collective bargaining for police and firefighter unions, just as was done to other public sectors unions two years ago.
Singers are holding dueling protests at the Wisconsin Capitol.
Madison School Board member Mary Burke has confirmed she is considering a challenge to Gov. Scott Walker in 2014.
Several Fox Cities private school systems want to join the state-funded voucher program.
The second day of a police crackdown to rein in daily protests in the Wisconsin Capitol instead attracted scores of demonstrators to the building Thursday, leading to another round of arrests in the long-running standoff between protesters and Republican
A Wisconsin Democratic lawmaker wants a 1 percent pay raise for state workers applied to everyone, including those who are still covered by unions.
Police arrested about two dozen people in Wisconsins Capitol rotunda Wednesday in the first crackdown on daily protesters since a federal judge ruled large groups need permits to gather in the building.

Tap Room - Hotel Bethlehem
Online Reservations
Musical Sunday Brunch was OUTSTANDING, as usual! The food is amazing, and the atmosphere is delightful! Love it!!
As always, a wonderful dining experience! Thank you to the professional and courteous waitstaff and management.
I like going to the Hotel Bethlehem's special holiday brunches with my family. We go there a couple times a year. I also like going there in the evenings on occasion for a drink and dinner. It has a very nice relaxing atmosphere.
We enjoyed the musical Sunday Brunch. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very efficient and attentive to our needs. Concern was shown by staff members as to our satisfaction with the food. We were pleased with the food selection and quality. Since it was St. Patrick's Day it was fun to sample the Irish menu selections. We particularly enjoyed the background Irish music.
Although we have been there before and didn't like it as much when it wasn't a racial occasion, Easter brunch has been fantastic for 3 years in a row now. Each time we have had children with us. The first 2 years we had toddlers and a newborn and it worked out well. This year it was great, they even had a magician.
We all had a wonderful time- my daughter loved the Easter Bunny- nice Easter day touches with the eggs for the kids and coloring books. The food was excellent as always! Our waitress was sweet and did an excellent job.
Easter brunch was delightful. We sat in the terrace room and we enjoyed the spaciousness of the room and high ceilings and windows. Food was excellent- everything from fresh seafood, cheese bar, omelette station, carving station, and a host of hot dinner and breakfast items. The desert bar was nicely done with petite servings so you could sample various items. Service was very good although the maitre de could have been a little more friendly. He stood on the steps looking very stressed and not very welcoming but outside of that, we thoroughly enjoyed it and will return again.
Although I rated the Tap Room "Great for Lunch,"I would have liked a broader menu. The only items available were soups, salads, and sandwiches.
The Hotel Bethlehem is a lovely setting for a Sunday morning brunch. The variety of food was good though needed to be replenished more frequently. The Ballroom was very pretty but the noise was a bit invasive. Overall though we enjoyed ourselves and our birthday celebration.
Enjoyed jazz and dinner. Chose soup & salad. Vegetable soup was terrible but the seafood Cobb was fresh and delicious. Music was excellent. We will be back again for jazz but not soup!
The Mother's Day brunch was wonderful - the selection and quality of food were fabulous. Service was a little slow for drinks and plate clearing but the staff was super busy with the large crowd, so to be expected I guess. Lovely piano music provided by a very talented young man! Definitely something for everyone!
My two daughters, my three year old granddaughter, and I attended the Mother's Day Brunch. The restaurant was beautiful, the hostess and wait staff were all pleasant, courteous, and very attentive. The food was outstanding - there was a varied assortment to choose from and the buffet was presented in a beautiful and easy to access manner. My granddaughter said she felt like a "princess"!
We are vegan and that's why I didn't give this restaurant 5 stars. Choices were extremely limited. There wasn't even much we could ask the chef to modify which we don't mind doing. That said the food was VERY expensive for what we had but it was VERY delicious. If you don't mind paying $100 for 2 glasses of wine, 2 bowls of soup, 2 salads and 2 hummus appetizers it's a good place. I would only go for a very special occasion. A bit of a cut in price would draw me back much more often!
The Tap Room is a fun place to go - nice atmosphere, laid back, but a large table may find it difficult to hear others because the room is fairly loud. Limited menu, but there is something for everyone on it. The wine list is fairly small, but there is a good range for selection, so you should something that you like.
We have been to the brunch on several occasions. It is just wonderful and would highly recommend it to everyone. Just love sitting by the windows in the terrace room.
Went with a group of 8 during Lehigh University graduation weekend. It was very busy but the staff handled everything very well. Very delicious food.
The brunch buffet at Hotel Bethlehem is always a wonderful occasion. With a huge selection of items to pick from and gigantic dessert selection it is a wonderful treat within the Lehigh Valley. If you are looking for a special occasion out for brunch you cannot go wrong here.
An abundant, premium-quality brunch buffet, one worthy of a special occasion but still healthy eating, for the most part. Live music was hack pop and unremarkable. Volume level from both it and the Tap Room was too high for comfort; however, we asked to be seated in the adjacent, romantic 1741 room, with its beautiful windows, which made all the difference in our dining experience. We went on a holiday, so there was a cast of thousands, managed remarkably well by the staff. Of note: holiday fish selections, carvery station, a melted brie en croute. An array of bite-sized desserts and a chocolate fountain. Separate small buffet table for children. Respectful service. As good a brunch as any country club chef could deliver.
Went to Hotel Bethlehem for brunch for my birthday. It was wonderful!!
We were meeting some friends from out of town and needed a quiet place with good food to discuss some things. We hit both with the Tap Room.
Food and service was excellent. Hotel Bethlehem is beautiful.
Everything was great. I went there for Brunch with my parents. All the foods and service was completely great. Thanks for everyone.
We were seated promptly even though we were a few minutes late. We had their Bloody Mary and it had enough spices and I didn't have to go fishing for my olive at the bottom of my glass. The meal included coffee, juice, and soft drinks. You had your choices of breakfast and lunch options. I enjoyed their salads, hand carved ham, and tilapia. There were so many beautiful bite sized desserts that were all awesome. All this by our table by the window accompanied by instrumental piano music that was not too loud that it would have become a screaming match.
Very good food with an eclectic menu. Everything from meatloaf and mac & cheese to grouper and filet mignon. Great service. A nice view of quaint and historic downtown Main Street in Bethlehem.
Pleasantly surprised by the food, service, and accommodations. I was there with business colleagues and the Jazz band was good, but too loud to hear each other to discuss our business issues. They accommodated us by moving us to the Terrace room which was very quiet and scenic, even though we had already ordered drinks and appetizers. My quests left very impressed with the excellent treatment we received, including a visit from the Chef who made everyone's meal to perfection with a very fancy presentation. This is my new favorite place to take any type of guest, instead of Apollo, Edge, Shula's, Melt. Waitress was spot on, taking care of everything while not invading our business conversation. My guests travel all over the world.
Great Friday night out with friends for a casual meal & a few drinks! Live band with great singer in the background was enjoyed while dining. Lovely historic hotel in a beautiful historic town! We will be back!
Great ambiance, service and food. A great place for all occasions in a beautiful historic location.
A group of four women go out once a month. Hotel Bethlehem Sunday Brunch is a favorite spot. We have been there twice this year. The desserts are the best with bite size portions so you can try many.
The Tap Room has great food, ambience, and enjoyable entertainmenr
Outstanding brunch fare with a view of the quaint shops and restaurants surrounding the Hotel Bethlehem! Will be going back for sure!
My wife, brother and I took my parents to the Sunday musical brunch to celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary. The music and ambiance were wonderful! The food was fantastic and the wait staff was very attentive. The decor and views are breathtaking and can't be replicated in a typical restaurant. We will definately be back for their 50th!
My husband and I took our dear friends for Sunday Brunch as an anniversary gift - we all loved it! The splendor of the original hotel's grandeur is every where to enjoy! The variety and quality of food is well thought out and there is something for everyone. Our waitress and the staff in general aim to please. We enjoyed the musical entertain as well! You must place Hotel Bethlehem on your list of places to experience!
I took the family for Sunday brunch on my birthday. The piano music was nice and the buffet selection was impressive. Wait staff was on top of things, bringing drinks and answering questions.
I have visited the Tap Room at the Hotel Bethlehem on many, many occasions and have always found it to be a wonderful experience. Although the menu is not extensive, the food is well prepared, delicious and professionally served. The Thursday evening "live music" makes this an extra special place!
A Good place for food and family time. We were at Family Weekend and it was my son's 12th Birthday. The Food was great and the meatloaf was a hit. The staff surprised my son with a gigantic sundae "on the house". Really good experience!
very nice hotel food and service was great people are very friendly will return soon.
The Mint is only a few blocks from us and when we go (which is not very often) my husband always asks why we don't dine there more often? Good question since the food and service is great. My husband had the mussels for an appetizer which in his words were the best he's ever eaten. He had the Patty melt for dinner which he said was amazing. I had the pub steak for my entree which was delicious. The crack pot dessert was amazing. A little piece of heaven - best described as a pecan pie without the pecans (all the gooey insides with whipped cream on top) in a pie crust made with cracked pepper. We shared one- next time I am getting my own ;)
Fresh ingredients, delicious crab cake, great martinis. Nice menu selections including sandwiches. Pleasant greeting, good waitress.
THe food was delicious, our server was always around at the right time and the Hotel looked beautiful, as always.
My guests and I were in town for a special occasion. The Tap Room has always been associated with good food and drinks. Everyone enjoyed their choices. Even though the restaurant was boy extremely crowded I felt that we waited a long time for soup and sandwiches which did not require much prep time.
Great spot to grab a quick bite or a wonderful meal. Love looking at the walls that feature pictures of dignitaries & celebrities that have stayed at the hotel while having a cocktail at the bar. We had dinner one evening while we were there and it was wonderful. The service was outstanding! Will definitely be back.
Overall a lovely and relaxed lunch with family.......ensconced window side amongst many holiday decorations in a warm, festive atmosphere. Reserved table in advance, ready and waiting when we arrived on Sat. @ 12:45. Fun view of both the street for people watching and interior holiday decorations. Menu selection included options for children/adults and many festive specialty drinks (small nod to the orange shandy). Kids enjoyed guessing who's who from the many portraits around the room. Dining room was busy, but service was prompt and we never felt rushed. We enjoyed a jaunt through the lobby and upstairs balcony before departing.......off for a wintry stroll & Christmas shopping in historic downtown.
The Hotel Bethlehem is a treasure from the past. Beautiful decorations, cordial well trained staff, family groups everywhere. Our drinks were sprightly, served by a lovely, accomodating waitperson. Electricity in the air, Santa posing for pictures, a delightful setting. Lunch was reasonable, nicely prepared. Very happy to be there.
We all enjoyed the lovely dining room and the delicious food. The servers were very competent. The lovely lady at the reservation desk offered to take our coats to the check in desk. We loved the beautiful Christmas trees and the view of the picturesque street outside. We enjoyed the company of friends and the start of our Christmas celebration. Thank you.
Holidays and the Hotel Bethlehem seem to go together. The hotel lobby is beautifully decorated putting one in the proper holiday mood. My favorite here is the club sandwich. I've eaten club sandwiches all over the U.S. and this is one of the best. The turkey is beautifully smoked and the ham is rich in flavor. Combine that with fresh lettuce and a great artisan bread, and you've got a real treat.
The food was excellent, as was the service. The Hotel and Tap Room were very crowded due to seasonal events in Bethlehem, but it's a beautiful grand old place, worth the wait.
The Tap Room is a cozy, warmly lit and decorated oasis in the midst of Holiday shopping and celebrations. A number of the dishes involve local foods or preparation. One of our group, an experienced traveler, described the local recipe chicken soup as the best they'd ever tasted. The entrees lived up to the appetizers in every category - Salmon, beef, crab cake, meatloaf (yes, meatloaf, with wild mushrooms), soups, sauces and reductions were all very good to excellent. The Wine List was light on blush and Rose wines but otherwise offered a very nice selection by the bottle and by the glass. Pricing felt appropriate for the setting and location, say $$$ - $$$$ on a scale of $ to $$$$$. A good feed was had by all.

Michael Wilson
Michael belongs to: The Doxford Engine Friends Association
Michael was born in West Sussex and went to school in London. He came to the North East to study at South Shields Marine College. He is an engineer in the merchant navy.
Michael was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 26 January 2006. The interview took place at Sunderland Museum and lasted 25 minutes and 9 seconds.
Leisure time and crew sizes
"Basically, youve got, where Ive been trading now, I have been on the UK coast, so weve got access to TVs"
Basically, youve got, where Ive been trading now, I have been on the UK coast, so weve got access to TVs, or TV channels so you can normally keep abreast with whatever is happening. Youve also got probably video recorders or CD, DVD players so you can watch films or movies, theres reading, to an extent. Really, it depends very much upon oneself and how many people.
I mean one of the big differences today is the number of people aboard a ship is dramatically decreased. So, youre talking of a ship of, which I was sailing on board a ship called The Chartsman, there was a total compliment of 11 people. So youve only got, theres the master and two mates, theres the chief engineer and the second engineer, three sailors, a bosun and a cook. Thats all you have, so you dont, youre not, and that was on a ship of six, sort of, six thousand tonnes and that could be, equally you could have a ship of 60 thousand tonnes and maybe have one extra engineer, one extra mate and another extra sailor. So theyve reduced from, when I first went to sea, from probably 50 or 60 on board a ship, as the first ship I was on there was something like 50, 50 people. You know, going down to a ship of that size now, you put on board maybe, you know, probably 16, 17 people, so it became a lot, far more difficult to do anything, if youre going to, or failing that you just work longer hours.

R. Kelly Must Be On The Same Stuff That Kanye's On
Throughout the weekend, an article from the satire site The Daily Currant where Kanye West claimed that he was the next Nelson Mandela made the rounds and everybody took it as real, because it's not far off from some of the ridiculousness that has spewed out of his mouth. Well, the shit that R. Kelly said to The Guardian's G2 supplement (via The Independent), which is not a satire site, I think, is almost as messy as the fake quote about Nelson Mandela that didn't come out of Kanye's mouth.
R. Kelly said that he sympathizes with Chris Brown, because they both did some wrong shit and climbed back up. Okay. R. Kelly probably should've stopped there and he only would've gotten a few side-eyes. But he kept going and just had to compare The Difficult Brown to Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus. R. Kelly speaks in third person so you already know this is going to be extra fucked up and after reading it you'll know what it feels like for him to piss on your eyeballs after eating a whole lot of asparagus.
"I only feel sorry for weak people. And mostly what I've come to find is that the weak people are the ones that are the haters. The ones that's talking about Chris Brown, or R. Kelly, or anybody that's successful? I feel sorry for them, not Chris Brown, because he's obviously one strong individual to be able to do what he's done. He got knocked down a little bit and he climbed up. You know, that sounds like Ali to me. That sounds like Martin Luther King to me. That sounds like a lot of the greats that have walked this earth. It even sounds a little bit like Jesus to me."
Jesus is probably on Kayak booking his second coming right now and Martin Luther King's coming with his ass so they can both slap this bitch down for talking crazy.
I don't remember The Difficult Brown ever getting knocked down.. He knocked a few people down, beat in his girlfriend's face, smashed a few windows and slapped some others around. I guess that's practically the same thing as getting knocked down a little bit, right, R. Kelly? And Martin Luther King Jr. fought against intolerance and Chris Brown fought his girlfriend until she ended up in the hospital. Practically twinsies!
On a positive note, whenever R. Kelly is in an interview spewing out some dumb shit, it means at that moment he's not spewing piss on some underage ass cheeks. There's always a bright side.
Ali Lohan Is Trying To Be A Singer Again
In a video that looks like a terrifying clip cut from The Ring or like the beginning a 70s snuff film shot on 8mm, The Curious Case of Ali Lohan introduces herself and then sings out a few lines of Xtina's "Beautiful." Since the whole modeling thing didn't really work out and White Oprah's not going to pay for those unpaid invoices from her back alley pharmacists herself, Ali Lohan is trying to make a few ad revenue coins from singing on YouTube. And if that doesn't work out, White Oprah will sell her to scientists who will study her to find out what kind of fucked-up chemicals make up a Lohan.
Ali Lohan has the exact same talking voice as this dude who lived next door to me when we were both 15. He had a mullet, only drank Shasta, only wore tank tops bought in gas stations, always smelled like a mixture of Irish Spring and a wet ash tray, was always out of breath and he had the raspiest voice ever. If extra coarse sandpaper grew vocal cords and a mouth and could speak, it would sound exactly like this kid. He wasn't a smoker, but his mom and grandma were and he lived with their asses. They always had a cigarette in their hands and I never saw them exhale without a cloud of cigarette smoke coming out of their mouths. The walls of his house were always stained and sticky and the first time I hung out there, it was so smoky I thought that bitch was on fire. They were the cigarette industry's dream family! Dude didn't have smoker's voice, but he did have a severe case of second hand smoker's voice. So when I hear Ali Lohan talk, I see that dude I made it out with once in the back of a garage refrigerator when I was 15. It's weirding me out.
As for her singing… She should've officially retired as a singer after Lohan Holiday, because she can never top that musical masterpiece. Here's the karaoke version for your next holiday party:
Harry Styles Took Kendall Jenner On A Romantic Date To A Gay Bar
Thank you, Harry Styles! My job is easier when the jokes write themselves; an Egg McMuffin basket is coming your way.
Harry Styles (a name that always sounds like a character from an Austin Powers movie) has another album to promote, which means his high-profile showmance with a Jenner is still going strong! Do I even need to specify which Jenner? They're the same fucking person; dark shiny hair, drowsy-ass eyes, and about as much personality as the busted handle on a shopping bag. But of you MUST know, it's still Kendall (aka not the one that looks like a dead ringer for Marla Hooch).
E! Online reports that Harry and Kendall (Karry? Hendall? Whocares? Yes, that one!) followed up their dinner date in LA last month with a date at the Gansevoort Hotel in NYC on Saturday. Chill out, moms across America, I can guarantee you they weren't fucking. Harry and Kendall probably watched Clueless on Netflix while Kendall's agents, Kris Jenner and Beelzebub, finalized contract specifics ("For the last time, Ms. Jenner, there will be no sex tape released. Please stop setting up the tripod for your Sony Handycam" - Harry's agent).
After leaving the hotel, Us Weekly reports that Harry and Kendall's snore-show (I'd call it Ambien! The Musical) made it's way to Therapy, a gay bar in Hell's Kitchen. According to bargoers, the two never got up to dance because – DUH – spontaneous natural movement doesn't run in Kendall's family. Kendall, stop being lazy; do you want to put "bearding" as a skill on your resume or not? Just remember: what would the Patron Saint of Hired Girlfriends, Taylor Swift do? She'd dance, call the paps, brush her hair 1000 strokes, AND hold a baby at the same time to convince us her and Harry were the real deal.
Fans are reacting about as predictably crazy One Direction fans would (ie. crazy, supportive, happy, crazy) but the best reaction to Harry and Kendall's coupling I found comes from a commenter known simply as Me:
Don't you just want to hug her? Oh, you dear, sweet, clueless little thing; you have so much to learn about strategic marketing and PR romance.

Open Post: Hosted By Roberto Cavalli's Piping Hot Hotness
These pictures of 73-year-old Roberto Cavalli on Miami Beach were taken on Thursday and the clean-up crews are still working overtime to remove all the gallons of pussy foam and panty pudding that spewed out of hos when he came struttin' onto the beach looking like Heat Miser's sexy and hotter pepaw. Roberto Cavalli looks like Michigan J. Frog after falling in a vat of boiling oil, and I know that the next time you're eating Korean BBQ, you're going to suck on a fried frog leg for a little while longer while thinking of his Hello My Baby, Hello My Honey hotness.
And you probably didn't read any of those words above, because his Viagra-powered boner kept poking your eyes. I'll speak for all of us when I say: WE WOULD. Go ahead and throw glares of jealousy at his gold digging piece for getting to suck on his snail egg nipples every night. She doesn't mind. She's used to it.

Tila Tequila's Theory About Paul Walker's Death Is (Surprise!) Batshit-Insanity
I had to double-check nearly 9 times that I had found Tila Tequila's actual, for real, not-hacked Facebook page because each time I clicked on it, my brain kept saying: "This cannot be it. Did I spell Tequila wrong? Why does she keep referring to herself as God's Warrior? Is there more than one God Warrior? I thought there was only one." What I'm saying is that Tila Tequila is for-fucking-real CRAZY, you guys (in other news: water is wet, sky is blue, Kris Jenner is a reptile).
Tila Tequila took a break from ranting about Nazis and Zionists (yes, really) to talk about the death of Elisa Lam, a woman who's body was found dead on the roof of a hotel. She then explains that the woman's death was a ritualistic killing. Just like Paul Walker's. Wait, WHAT?
"But I'll keep talking anyway…"
Two words: THE FUUUUUUUCK?!?! Let me get this straight: Tila believes that Paul Walker was ritually murdered by an occult group as a sacrifice, right? Wait, so who was driving the car? One of the occultists? Was Vin Diesel in on it? This is crazy. No, fuck that, this is crazy-crazy. Even the crazy homeless guy ranting on your subway car about aliens as he pops a squat and takes a hot dump is thinking "This bitch is certifiable. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to mail a letter to Jesus c/o The Pentagon".
Someone needs to call the giant bottle of 99¢ Store drain cleaner and disposable g-string that made Tila and tell them they need to come and pick up their kid, because homegirl's gone off the deep end. What happened? It seems like just yesterday she was ordering shots of love, and now she's holed up in her House of Crazy in a tinfoil hat (and matching nipple covers) ranting online about end times and murders and the "Synagogue of Satan" (HER WORDS NOT MINE PLS DON'T SEND ME EMAILS). How many signatures do we need on a petition before MTV takes it seriously and creates a show called A Shot at Sanity? 16 psych ward doctors competing to see who can check her into Cedars Sinai under a 5150 hold first? I'd watch it.

A Death Eaters Wedding Might Be Upon Us
…it was nice of the French Big Bad Wolf to show that Blind Mouse some affection before eating it.
Page Six says that the daughter of the Death Eaters, Mary-Kate Olsen, might be somebody's wife soon, because she was seen trolling for huge diamond engagement rings at Neil Lane in Los Angeles recently. 27-year-old MKO and her 44-year-old French piece, Olivier Sarkozy, have been creeping bitches out with their love for about a year now and they are ready to join dark forces. Some source says that for the past three weeks, MKO has slithered into Neil Lane by herself to look at hitchin' rings and she knows exactly what she wants:
"Mary-Kate has been seen several times in the last three weeks checking out huge engagement rings at the Neil Lane store. She really likes cushion-cut diamonds, and all of the rings she has looked at are over 5 carats. She has narrowed it down, but still hasn't made a final decision."
The source went on to say that several Neil Lane salespeople had to check into the nearest mental hospital, because every time MKO stood on five yellow pages in front of the glass counter and ran her claw along all the rings while cooing, "my precious…." to herself, a chill froze their souls and they were never the same again.
This story doesn't make any sense. Why would MKO go shopping for her own ring and why would she go to Neil Lane? Olivier Sarkozy obviously knows MKO well enough to know that her dream engagement ring has a band made of the bones of babies and a hallowed out stone that holds the souls of virgin Muggles. She's old-fashioned like that. MKO wasn't at Neil Lane to buy her own ring. MKO was at Neil Lane to buy a beautiful diamond ring that she'll use to lure the virgin princess into her cave so she can suck the youth out of that trick and stay looking like a 12-year-old. That's it!

Ben Affleck Wants The Paparazzi To Leave His Children Alooooooooooooooooone
Three months ago, Jennifer Garner flew her ass up to Sacramento, CA with Halle Berry to push for a bill which would allow famous hos to press charges against any paparazzo who takes a picture of their kid without their permission. The bill passed and on the same day it passed, Pimp Mama Kris sent permission slips to every single paparazzo in L.A. and beyond! Ben Affleck is backing up his wife, duh, and tells Playboy that the paps constantly yell shit at his kids and have stalked them outside their schools. Ben hates the paparazzi as much 99% of humanity hates the idea of him as Batman. Ben spit up this shit during an interview with Playboy:
"You can say what you want about me. You can yell at me with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow me around and take pictures all you want. I don't care. There are a couple of guys outside right now. Terrific. That's part of the deal. But it's wrong and disgusting to follow children around and take their picture and sell it for money. It makes the kids less safe. They used to take pictures of our children coming out of preschool, and so this stalker who had threatened to kill me, my wife and our kids showed up at the school and got arrested. I mean, there are real practical dangers to this."
Well, it's good that Blake Lively is now married to Ryan Reynolds and has stopped getting all Alex Forrest on Ben by visiting his kids at school. No, Blake isn't the stalker who visited his kids' school. Ben goes on to explain how their stalker pretended to be a pap to get closer to them:
"He was in the pack of paparazzi. They didn't know he was a guy who was threatening to murder our family. That makes me angry. It's a safety thing, and there's also a sanity thing. My kids aren't celebrities. They never made that bargain. We were offered a lot of money to sell pictures of our kids when they were born. You'll notice there aren't any. I make no judgment about people who decide differently; a lot of them give the money to charity. For me it was a matter of principle. I didn't want someone to be able to come back and say I was complicit, that it wasn't a question of principle as much as price."
And his ass went on:
"As their father it's my job to protect them from that stuff. I try my very best, and sometimes I'm successful. The tragic thing is, people who see those pictures naturally think it's sweet. They don't see the gigantic former gang member with a huge lens standing over a four-year-old and screaming to get the kid's attention. The kids are always looking down because they're freaked out and scared of these people. And so they yell. Which is fine if you're Lindsay Lohan coming out of a club, or me or any adult. With kids it's tasteless at best. A lot of these photographs are being bought by legitimate magazines. In the U.K. they have a good system: If you take a kid's picture, you have to blur out the face. It protects the privacy of children, any child. I wish we would do that here, though I don't expect it."
The next time a large crowd of screaming paps comes at Ben, he'll probably notice that in the middle of that crowd is a bleached banshee spewing out a geyser of Jack Daniels and coke-infused saliva from her mouth as she rages at him. That's just White Oprah who will be there to serve Ben Affleck with a defamation lawsuit for slandering Lindsay Lohan's pristine reputation by saying that she comes out of clubs.
You know, whenever I go trolling for pictures in photo agency websites, I always find piles and piles of brand new pictures of Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and their kids. Almost every day, there's new sets of Ben Affleck or Jennifer Garner. It's so weird. It's like walking into a grocery store's produce section and finding nothing but piles and piles of bland rutabaga. I did not know the demand for Ben Affleck's ass was that high. It doesn't make sense to me. I mean for every one picture of Angelyne, there's at least 20 pictures of Ben Affleck and his family doing whatever. Why are the paparazzi spending their time with Ben Affleck's basic ass when they could be taking pictures of more relevant and interesting subjects like Angelyne, Jocelyn Wildenstein or Phoebe Price? The paparazzi have got to do better! The next time Ben Affleck calls them and tells them that he's at Bristol Farms with one of his kids, they need to ignore that Affleck call and follow the pink Corvette instead.

Spring rains soak Tunica
With May weather seeming more like April in rainfall and temperature, the town of Tunica public works department has been working to get a handle on water leaks, overflowing ditches and inflow into its sewer system.
May rainfall totaled 4.41 inches from May 2-5, exceeding normal amounts by over three inches.
Operations director Ellis Koonce told the town board Tuesday that at the peak of last week's downpours, 1.65 million gallons of water were moving through the municipality's treatment plant, over four times the normal amount.

Arizona AD Greg Byrne: 'I'm all for the stipend'
Some argue that athletes make their schools a considerable amount of money and should benefit financially because of it.
Others, though, say a scholarship -- or other advantages already afforded to the student-athletes -- is sufficient, since the main goal of going to college is to get an education.
Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne, as a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf as part of "Newsmakers Week", shared his thoughts on the idea of giving student-athletes a stipend.
"I'm all for the stipend," he said. "I think that's a good step."
Byrne said the way things are set up right now if a collegiate athlete gets a Pell Grant they will not be eligible to receive a stipend, which isn't the way to go.
"I think in reality, the people who are qualified to secure the Pell Grants, that they're the ones that need the money the most."
Byrne said he and his father Bill, who has also spent time as an athletic director, have seen athletes take their scholarship check and use it to send money back home.
"That's not the intent of it," he said. "WE need to make sure that they're getting money in their pocket for their living expenses while they're in college, that they can have clothes on their back, shoes on their feet."
The important thing, he added, is making sure the student-athletes are "taken care of."
And that's where the stipend would come in, though the question then becomes if there will be a competitive imbalance with regards to which schools can afford to pay the stipend and which schools can't.
That, Byrne conceded, could create new divisions inside Division I athletics.
"It's certainly heading that way," he said. "Will it happen in the next five years? I don't know."
Byrne said there has been discussion about there being another division and noted media has talked about schools seceding and creating their own NCAA-like organization.
"I don't want to see it get to that point because I think the NCAA, even though they get criticized regularly, there is value that they bring," he said. "And you forget about the revenue that is generated through the Division I schools especially, and the BCS-level schools, that go to fund Division II, Division III programs and the opportunities that come along.
"And what's often forgot about when the debate about paying players and stipends and all those things, we just added sand volleyball so we're going to be at 20 sports. Eighteen of them lose money."
That means the university must find ways to keep sports that don't bring in revenue afloat. Arizona, Byrne said, gets tuition waivers and exchanges energy costs, but other than that the athletic department is self-sufficient.
"So we need to generate those dollars to help pay for those other experiences," he said. "And we can't forget, at the core of where the NCAA started it was across the board sports and having the ability for a lot of young men -- and then as Title IX continued to advance, young women -- have opportunities that we can sit here for three days and talk about those experiences on the show."

text: Home Culture Describing a Suspect: A Few Tips for Mr. King Why his CNN report about a "dark-skinned male" was not only wrong, given current events, but also useless. By: Michael E. Ross Posted: April 19 2013 10:13 AM 0 Dzhokhar (left) and Tamerlan Tsarnaev (FBI.gov) (The Root) -- The federal authorities and Boston police put out the word early after the bombings at Monday's Boston Marathon: Bring us your implausible, your unlikely, your huddled hunches yearning to be heard. Advance and be recognized. "We are processing all the digital photographic evidence we can," said Richard DesLauriers, special agent in charge of the Boston office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, asking the public "to continue submitting whatever they have to police." With that kind of thinking taking center stage in the investigation, federal and commonwealth officials implicitly expressed a preference for thoroughness over speed. That didn't sit well with the electronic media -- a fact that the media paid for this week. One most trusted outlet in particular. We're not that far removed from the era of the guys in the press (and back then they were all guys) salivating at the precinct desk or the courthouse door, grappling for something that would play up high in the bulldog edition. Fast-forward to the digital era, and we can see that not much has changed. The rugby-scrum aesthetic has ruled the day at press conferences related to the bombings. The howling mob with microphones still wanted its answers yesterday. And one journalist made a dizzying leap of logic. On Wednesday afternoon, CNN reporter John King obeyed his journalist's Pavlovian reflex when he reported -- erroneously -- on a "breakthrough" in the case, that the authorities had focused on a potential suspect in the marathon bombings. "I want to be very careful about this, because people get very sensitive when you say these things," he said. "I was told by one of these sources, who is a law-enforcement official, that this was a dark-skinned male." That was it. That was all he offered. Moments later, King doubled down on dumb, inexplicably saying that he'd been given a sharper, more distinctive description, but he'd keep that to himself. "There are some people who will take offense for even saying that," he said. "I understand that." "I'm making a personal judgment -- forgive me, I think it's the right judgment -- not to try to inflame tensions," King said. "They say it's a dark-skinned male. I'm gonna stop there." It's anyone's guess as to how long King may have been dozing in the lecture hall at the journalism school he attended at the University of Rhode Island. He apparently missed the class in Journalism 101 -- the one in which would-be reporters were told that if the description you have for a suspect is too broad to be specific to a particular individual, if the description you have is generally applicable to hundreds or thousands of people, it's worthless to the public. King's suspect description of a "dark-skinned male" was one such bad example. In a breathless, misguided attempt to break significant news, one of CNN's top dogs did nothing more than give the already nervous people of Boston a pretext for considering every dark-skinned male they encountered in the days to come to be a suspect in Monday's violence. To go by King's broad description, the man who won the marathon was a suspect himself. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre
