Touch of the Blues wins the 2003 Atto Mile over Soaring Free.
Updated: 9/17/04
On Sunday, a field of eleven will go to post in the $1 million, Grade 1 Atto Mile at Woodbine. The one-turn mile on the E.P. Taylor Turf Course is a major prep for the Breeders' Cup Mile at Lone Star Park in October. On Thursday entries were taken and post positions drawn for the big race on Sunday.
Adam van Koeverden
Mark Frostad
Also in the field is Soaring Free's stablemate, Surging River, winner of the With Approval Stakes in track record time. Surging River drew the 3 hole as a 20-1 outsider on the morning line. Frostad said, "He's a very nice horse, his best race of the year was when he beat Le Cinquieme Essai in the With Approval Stakes. Then we sent him to Saratoga where unfortunately he ran into traffic troubles and got shuffled back early but he's definitely a threat this time."
Roger Attfield
The race goes off at 5:10 PM EDT, and will be broadcast live in Canada on Rogers Sportsnet in a special 1 hour telecast from 4:30 to 5:30 PM.

Dumaani Star
Dumaani Star, who contested the 2002 Atto Mile, is back for a second try. Two years ago, Jim McAleney guided the Castle Peak Farm colour-bearer to a 9th place finish at odds of 121-1 in the Atto, 5 1/2 lengths behind winner Good Journey. In three starts this year, the Kentucky-bred has picked up one check, a 4th place effort on the turf June 30 at Woodbine. But the Danny You trainee has been there, done that at the one-mile distance. On November 1, 2003, Jono Jones came up with a shining steer to put Dumaani Star in the winner's circle with a four-wide late rally.
"He's a pretty tough horse," said Yu. "He barely moves when he's in his stall, but when you come to get him, he wants to charge right out of there. If he doesn't know you, he'll pin his ears back and let you know who's boss."
My Lucky Strike
My Lucky Strike was to start in a 6 1/2-furlong turf allowance race at Woodbine on Thursday, but was withdrawn to start in the Grade 1 Atto.
"He's had a foot problem all year, a quarter crack. But right now, his feet
are 100% and he's in good shape," said trainer John Cirillo. "I'm hoping he
puts up one of his best races (in the Atto). I think he's going to run a big
race." Cirillo also plans to add blinkers to his Atto hopeful, who, while winless in
six starts this year, has run well in a couple of races, including a second
place finish to Soaring Free in June in his seasonal debut.
Surging River
With three wins from his past five starts, including a driving one-length score in the With Approval Stakes on August 8, Surging River is, well, surging, as he prepares for his biggest test to date. The son of Gone West has taken to the turf nine times in his 11-race career, fashioning an enviable record of four wins, three seconds and one third, for $247,329 in career purse earnings.
"We're hoping (Surging River) can come up with another strong effort," said
Frostad, of the Ontario-bred, who recently finished seventh after a tough trip
in the one-mile Troy Stakes at Saratoga on September 3. "He seems to be
getting better and the one mile distance is good for him."
Christine's Outlaw
Trained by George Weaver, Christine's Outlaw won the one-mile, Grade 3 Poker Handicap, July 10 at Belmont Park in 1:32.2, in a thriller over another Atto rival, Millennium Dragon. However, in his last outing, the four-year-old son of Wild Again was a puzzling ninth in the Fourstardave Handicap, August 28 at Saratoga.
"He came out of it well, so I'm kind of falling back on the race he ran in the
Poker," explained Weaver. "I feel like the horse is doing well and I want to
give him a shot."
Slew Valley
Slew Valley's most recent run at a mile came in May of last year. That game third-place finish to Tap the Admiral, who competed in the 2003 Atto, came in the fog at Belmont. But, if trainer Reade Baker has his way, the seven-time winner will have clear sailing when the real running starts on Sunday.
"He's a battler," said Reade Baker. "The only way he's going to get beat is if
he gets outrun. It's not going to be through lack of effort."
Millennium Dragon
He's finished second in four of his past five starts, but Kiaran McLaughlin trainee Millennium Dragon could be ready to slay the competition in Sunday's $1-million Atto Mile. When you factor in nine of the bay's past 10 races have prompted triple-digit Beyer ratings, including a 108 'fig' in the Appleton Handicap to kick off his 2004 campaign, 'Millennium' is a serious threat in what will be his second appearance at Woodbine.
The Darley Stable silk-bearer's most recent effort came in the Grade 3 Poker Handicap on July 10 at Belmont Park. Sent off as the 2-1 favourite, jockey Mike Luzzi had the five-year-old full of run late, missing the top prize by a neck.
"Another jump or two and he wins it," said McLaughlin, of the one-mile Poker.
"He tries hard all the time. He ran hard and just missed. The horse that won
(fellow Atto entrant Christine's Outlaw) just ran a big race on the day."
After watching Mobil motor to victory in three of his past four races at Woodbine, trainer Mike Keogh certainly must like his chances as the Ontario-bred gears up for another shot at a huge payday. A winner of $1,446,034 lifetime, highest earner in the Atto field, he has 11 victories in 21 starts, four of them on the grass. His last race was a smashing 3 1/2 length score in the Halton Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on the turf in 1:46.97.
"He's a versatile horse and he's shown he can win in different ways and on different surfaces. He's just a great horse to be around," said Keogh.
Perfect Soul
Although he's contested just five of his 19 lifetime starts - all on turf - at the flat mile distance, millionaire Perfect Soul, who is close to calling it a career, has made his mark at the distance. Fashioning a 2-1-1 record, including victories in the Grade 1 Keeneland Turf Mile last year and the Grade 2 Makers Mark Mile in 2004, the son of Sadler's Wells has only one out of the money finish at a mile, finishing ninth in the 2003 Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita.
"He's probably got about two or three races left before he's retired," said
Hall of Fame conditioner Roger Attfield, of the lifetime earner of $1,327,764.
"Hopefully, things will go right for him."
Royal Regalia
The six-year-old son of 1985 Breeders' Cup Mile winner Cozzene has started only twice this year and just a dozen times in his career, winning five of those outings. However, his two 2004 performances have been very impressive. The grey/roan gelding debuted on Canada Day, July 1 at Woodbine, and proceeded to smash the track record for one mile over the E.P. Taylor Turf Course, getting the distance in 1:31.84.
In his second start, the Grade 2 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga, August 28,
Royal Regalia led for most of the mile and one-sixteenth affair, before being
caught late by Nothing to Lose and Silver Tree, finishing third, but just one
and one-half lengths behind the winner.
The lightly-campaigned seven-year-old son of Woodman was an impressive winner of the Barbados Gold Cup in March in Bridgetown, his first start for the Melnyks and trainer Todd Pletcher after being purchased privately in January. He heads into the Atto off a runner-up finish, a nose behind Gulch Approval in the Grade 3 Oceanport Handicap on August 8 at Monmouth, his only loss in four starts this year.
"He was a bit unlucky in that one," recalled Pletcher, New York's leading
trainer last year, who'll saddle his first Atto entrant in Kathir. "He didn't
get out until very late but closed with a big rush. Had he had an opportunity
10 yards sooner, he'd have probably gotten there."
Soaring Free
Soaring Free has four main track wins, eight turf triumphs, 12 career wins from 20 starts and 16 Beyer figures of 90 or higher. When you saddle a horse like Soaring Free, it's hard to curb your enthusiasm. Soaring Free finished a hard-fought second to Touch of the Blues in last year's Atto, just a half-length back for top honours. Todd Kabel, Woodbine's leading rider, will once again get the call.
"He's pretty good right now. It will take a helluva horse to beat him (in the
Atto Mile)," said Frostad, seeking his second Atto crown, after winning the
1999 edition with Quiet Resolve. "You're confident in the horse and you know
you?ve done what you can with him and hopefully he's as fit as can be. Now
it's up to the jockey and what happens with the racing gods."

That Shit'll Never Work
I've been told numerous times that "the tactics of the 60s just won't work now" as people have patted me on the head saying my naive idealism is quaint and charming. Such statements reflect a great deal of ignorance I'm starting to run out of patience with, quite frankly. Regardless, I'll post a rant just in case something finally sinks in somewhere, just a little bit.
I would love to see any of the naysayers point to any level of collective mobilization we've tried that would come close to what happened in the United States in the 60s. Oh sure, we've had a few marches against our wars here and there, and some rallies for HCR, but there has been fuckall in terms of real commitment to consistent, persistent and escalating action. So how about we actually try "tactics of the 60s" before we declare them ineffective since we've seen just voting for Dems, calling up Congress, signing online petitions and writing sternly worded blog posts have been, oh...less than victorious thus far.
More importantly, the phrase "tactics of the 60s" is really horribly inadequate and reflects the poor state of our educational system. Those tactics were actually developed over decades of use, not just in the Civil Rights movement of the 50s and 60s, not just in Gandhi's India, but in many different countries and eras. And they have been employed since the 60s, both here and abroad.
Sadly, the extent of people's general understanding of these tactics are apparently limited to marches. Really, all I see as objections is that the media won't cover the marches and that allowed Bush, and now Obama, to ignore us. I hear tell there might be roughly 197 other methods we could try.
Marches are a pretty low-level, low-intensity, low-commitment form of protest. They are wonderful, especially if you can get a real mass to turn out. What an awesome start to a campaign!
Can't stop there. All marches do is put our opponents on notice that we have an issue or cause and are willing to physically participate in fighting for it. After that we must escalate if that's not enough.
And it hasn't been enough. Clearly.
It's not the tactics (ach, if only we even present a cohesive strategy) that have thus far failed. If they can't work in the US anymore, they really couldn't work anywhere, could they? Yet the Filipinos, Chileans, Poles, Czechs and Serbs might be surprised to hear that.
Our biggest obstacle is lack of motivation and a sense of comfort with the status quo, though people definitely bristle at that idea. Somehow it's always other people who won't get on board, so why should I bother? But really, if every person who told me a "60s style" approach won't work today because we can't get anybody to go along with it, you know, actually joined in we might reach critical mass.
During the Bush era lots of libs/progs spoke of Bush's refusal to ask Americans to sacrifice for the war effort. What about sacrificing for the peace effort? For HCR, which is really the moral equivalent of ending a war, let alone Civil Rights?
Here's my rough draft plan, which in a variety of forms I've shopped around to Members of Congress (current and former), labor, MoveOn, local peace/justice groups, and A-list bloggers to try sparking discussion (no dice, of course):
- Marches in a dozen major cities nationwide on a weekday. Combine that with a "sick-in" so there is a tangible economic threat, and allows people to get out during work hours.
- A massive march on DC as follow-up. 100k would be sufficient for an early step.
- 10k stay on in DC to blanket Capitol Hill with citizen lobbyists.
- Some subset of the 10k continue with acts of civil disobedience.
- In conjunction with all of this, boycott corporatist entities like cable companies to free up funds to support the effort (I'd suggest refusing to pay health premiums, but I suspect that's way too risky for most people).
- Still no traction? Further strikes, expanding boycott. Rinse, repeat.
Ideally, I wanted to start this process in March--that's when I began bothering people about trying to develop an extra-electoral strategy. Even at this late stage we could use some compressed form of this if we wanted to.
Really, is this shit important or not? Lots of people are trying to shame Obama and Reid and Baucus and Nelson and Lieberman with statistics about how many people will die next year without insurance, so it seems like it's important. Well, if it is, I suggest that rather than finding people to demonize and helping this fail, we set our elected employees up to succeed.
The monied interests hold sway, that's just the way it is. But we have way more collective financial clout than they do, and way more lobbyists, if we step up our game and act as the Ultimate Sovereign we're supposed to be in this Republic.

If people were putting an nth of the energy into something like this that they do into the feet-stomping they do online, it'd be remarkable.
I remain hopeful (there's that word again, save scare quotes) that if they're this outraged and serious about making this happen, than they will.

If somebody who was in college in the late 60s can put an oar in: one huge reason the anti-Vietnam student/youth movement took off was, of course, the draft. It was imminent, immediate, undeniable, and it could touch you, or your brother or best friend, or your boyfriend, etc., any old time, and everyone knew it.
Another reason was the existence of the inter-campus organizing bodies, such as SNCC (Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee).
We cannot duplicate the constant, frightening effect that the draft had on young people in those days. The threat to personal safety embodied in the health-care status quo is just as real, but it is much more diffused throughout the population. Most of those who feel - and are - threatened by it are far less able to put themselves physically on the line than college-age kids are. The group most likely to mobilize successfully in large marches and other mass public actions is exactly the group that thinks itself least vulnerable to problems associated with illness. But anyone who wants an effective national action needs those kids, in numbers!
Which is, I guess, where creating some 21st C. version of those coordinating bodies comes in: a tough row to hoe. I'm not saying that nothing be done to arouse people (of all ages) about HCR and the Afghan war, but it will mean coming up with methods that weren't known or necessary in the old days. Actually, IMO, the fragmented, private, individualistic nature of the blogosphere is not well suited to rousing the rabble, not even our rabble. Whether the social networks can be successfully used, I don't know -- but there's NO substitute for people actually being in each others' physical presence and having a group experience.
The climate change issue has taken a pretty firm hold in kids' minds (it's got that immediate threat thing going for it, like Vietnam). I don't know whose playbook besides Al Gore's one could consider stealing pages from, but investigating that would be a start.

The world's most advanced bicycle frame meets the world's most innovative power system. The Moulton bicycle, with its outstanding efficiency, speed, comfort and responsiveness, can now be fully integrated with the unique ARCC e2-pod Intelligent Power system. All the excellent Moulton features are retained – the supple suspension, the superb steering, the ultra-rigid frame and unmatched performance.
First produced by Dr Alex Moulton CBE in the '60's, the basic Moulton concept is to improve ride comfort and efficiency by using small wheels with high-pressure tyres, supported from a rigid frame by carefully engineered rubber suspension units.
The ARCC e2-pod Intelligent Power system has been designed by ARCC Innovations to provide unique intelligent bike power.
It combines variable power levels with automatic hill/gradient compensation and launch control. This allows commuting cyclists to choose the amount of effort both they and the motor provides; automatically compensates for hills and gradients; and provides 'launch control', for safety when moving away from lights and crossings in heavy traffic.
The ARCC e2-pod can be attached and removed from the bike in seconds, and uses an industry standard 4.0 Ah Bosch battery which is readily available virtually anywhere in the world. This battery gives a typical range of about 25 miles, and can be recharged in 30 minutes on a desktop charger. A 6 Ah Bosch battery is also available. The 6 Ah gives a typical range of about 30-40 miles. When the pod is removed, the bike reverts to its standard configuration and can be used as a regular bike.
The Moulton bicycle equipped with the ARCC e2-pod Intelligent Power system is ideal for commuting or fast on-road riding. The bike delivers a well-tuned, responsive ride whether or not the ARCC e2-pod is activated, making it one of the very few successful alternatives to the standard diamond-frame bicycle.
The ARCC e²-pod Intelligent Power System complies to BS EN15194.

I feel that the higher tier your hideout, the more often dangerous night events should happen like the banshee for example, in the dry meadow you should have a fairly low chance of seeing her, but in the old woods she should have an increased chance to spawn, of all my time living in the old woods. Thoughts?
On a side note i have never seen the banshee in hideout 2 or 3

To be completely honest, I'm not a fan of original phone accessories. They are very expensive and this high price is very often overrated. But this time I made an exception and bought original HTC car holder. And I do not regret that decision.
Typical car holder from "nobody knows where this company comes from" costs from $10 to $30, while HTC Car Kit is available for about $50 - $70. This is 3-7 times more expensive, but I believe this is well spent money. Let me explain why.
- Mounting
HTC Car Kit can be mounted in two ways. You can fasten in to the front window of your car, or you can use additional adhesive disk, that comes in the box and attach it on your dashboard. Normally you can't attach regular and cheap car kit on your dashboard because of rough surface of the dashboard. This is a very nice solution, giving you opportunity to choose whether you want your Car Kit to be attached to the window, or to the dashboard without covering up your view. Also, it's very easy to mount the entire Car Kit and there is no risk of breaking anything.
- Build quality
It's just perfect. This is one of the biggest positive aspects of having original accessories. There are no crack sounds, the used plastic is very solid and it looks aesthetic. The swivel neck is made of aluminium and you can rotate is in every direction. There are also no plastic hooks you can break accidentally. The resistance of the aluminium neck is very good. The cradle holds the device securely and firmly, so you don't need to be afraid that your device will fall out, unlike with the cheaper solutions I had in the past. However, without the cable attached in the cradle the device looses its stability (because nothing "holds" it inside the cradle) and can fall out. It is a problem, since not every driver want to drive with a cable attached all the time.
- Features
HTC devices comes with preloaded software you can run while driving in the car. With HTC Car Kit this application can be launched automatically every time you connect your device to the holder. It's nothing unique in the cradle itself, but it is the attached USB cable that does the trick. The micro USB part has a special terminal with a clips. Once your HTC One will detect it, HTC Car mode application will be launched. However, this feature can be of course turned off in settings. You can't have this feature working correctly with non-HTC Car Kit.
- Equipment
Like every other original HTC accessory, the HTC Car Kit comes in a very nice box, where you can find the holder itself (made of plastic cradle, aluminium neck and plastic base with wheel and suction pad tab), micro-USB cable with a special terminal, adhesive disk, very nice looking car charger and short, multi-language user guide. The cable is very long, which I find as a drawback, because it has 2m, while 1m should be perfectly enough. Probably I will have to bind the cable and it won't look very cool. Replacing it with a shorter cable is not an option because of missing terminal in regular micro-USB cables.
- General conclusion
HTC Car Kit is worth its price. It looks way better then any regular car holder and I can surely say it is a premium product for a premium device, just like HTC One is. It's easy to use, easy to clean and it gives you additional control over your device with HTC Car mode application. Also, you can mount it however you like - on the window or on the dashboard. If you own HTC One and you are a car driver, I strongly recommend you buying this Car Kit.
+ build quality
+ design
+ alternative mounting methods
+ HTC device detection
+ comes together with micro-USB cable and car charger
+ swivel neck adjustable in every direction
- price (it is worth the price, but for some it sill might be too much)
- too long micro-USB cable (should be 1m instead of 2m)
- the device isn't secured well if the cable is not attached to the cradle

So, todays horrible experience? Samuel and I decided to visit Italian Connections, off Taylor Street. It looks quaint online, but it was horrible. Oh, and you have to make a reservation in order to eat there, really? Yes.
Walking in you basically interrupt a couples dinner, because you walk into their eating space. And then, while you stand their awkwardly waiting for a hostess, you finally feel the heat. The complete lack of air conditioning in 94 degree weather. Once you get seated, you get to observe your surroundings, and taste the complimentary bread & garlic butter. I swear there were a million pictures around us. They coated the walls, all the way down to the tops of the tables, which there were only 5 tables in the little room we were in. I'm sure there were more in the other room. As we were looking around, we noticed the obscene amount of Christmas lights all over. Red, green, & white lights. Everywhere. Those were basically the only lights lighting up the room. They needed so much more lighting. It was ridiculous. Also, we dinned with the Virgin Mary. I'm a Catholic, and religious, but that still doesn't mean I'd like to dine in a restaurant with her watching over me eating...
So, after almost getting up and leaving, we decided to just give it a try, at least once. Hopefully the food would be better than our surroundings and lack of air. The pricing of the food didn't look too bad, especially the appetizer, it was only $5. For Hot Artichoke Dip too. So, we ordered that, expecting to get the normal sized dish. About 10 minutes later, and a basket of bread later, we get this tiny little dish. You know those plates that you put under teacups? Yeah, the bowl was smaller then one of those. Not to mention covered in a crazy amount of olive oil (which is already not my favorite). After trying that, we were completely downing our waters and pop. It was incredibly spicey. We're thinking way too much olive oil and rosemary, amongst other things. After that is finished, we're telling each other that we really hope the main dishes are good, and the salad that comes before hand.
We get our salad next. Oh and what a salad. It's the same size dish as the appetizer. We didn't get a choice of dressing, it only came with the house dressing, which I couldn't even finish because it left the worst after taste in my mouth. Samuel was starving so he had no problem downing both salads. Along with another full class of lemonade. After the salads finally came our main dishes. Samuel ordered Chicken Parmigiana and I ordered Fettuccine Primavera. His looked pretty good, with one of those small bowls full of pasta with red sauce. No sauce on his breaded lightly cheesed chicken though. And mine... well mine was a complete shock. I was informed that there would be broccoli, asparagus, green and yellow zucchini, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, and mushrooms. And that I could easily pull off whatever I didn't want since they would be sitting on top. Well they were NOT joking about those veggies sitting on top. My plate looked as such: A bed of fettuccine pasta covered in what looked like alfredo, and on top of that in no particular order was 1/3 a green pepper (raw), 1 slice of tomato (raw), 1 slice of onion (raw), 1 big chunk of broccoli (raw) 4 tiny mushrooms (raw), 1 extremely small slice of green & yellow zucchini (raw). Did I mention all the veggies were RAW?!
It took me about 5 minutes to cut up all the veggies before I could even eat a bite. Our waitress finally came over to ask us how it was, and I hadn't even gotten to try mine yet. I had pulled off the mushrooms (normally I wouldn't since it was such a small portion of everything to begin with, but they looked old and gross), and started cutting up the rest of the veggies with a horrible knife when she popped over and asked. She just laughed like it was no big deal and walked away. After I finally got everything chopped up, I asked Samuel how his meal was, and he said it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't very great. (Which gave me real hope for mine.) Oh, keep in mind, I had already been warned that the Alfredo sauce was shit. So, I took a bit, slowly, unwillingly. It was exactly how I had been warned. There was absolutely no flavor to my pasta, other than the raw veggies. I had never ever tasted an Alfredo sauce in my life that contained absolutely no flavor. It was definitely not what I expected after having that horribly spicey appetizer.
We ate everything since we were completely starving, and didn't want to just get up and go somewhere else. (Which probably would have been a better choice at this point.) So we stayed, waited for the check, which took like 20 minutes to even get. Our waitress really wanted us to have a dessert, but we didn't want to pay a ridiculous amount for like 1/3 scoop of ice cream. Especially when we had ice cream at home, and we don't have to pay to get that out of our freezer. Anywho, we get out check, and pull out our coupon (which is the ONLY reason we even went there). We had a coupon for buy 1 entree, get the second one free. Nice coupon right?! Wrong. The bill before the coupon ended up being 41.06. $2 for drinks (we both had 1) $5 app, $14 Samuel's meal, $15 my meal. Somehow, that equaled 41.06 after tax. So, Samuel gives her his card & the coupon. She comes back, with a charge to his card of $35.66. Which is obviously not taking Samuels meal off the bill. We both look at our waitress like something is very wrong, to which she instantly replies, "Oh, if something looks wrong it's not. Our machines automatically add in the tip for you, so you don't have to leave one." Samuel just says okay, making the waitress leave. I whip out my cell phone and click on my calculator app. We left that horrible waitress, who was always making us wait for bread or something to drink, an $8.60 tip. And there was nothing we could do about it!
All in all, horrible place to eat, and they pretty much rob you. You pay an expensive amount for a tasteless tiny meal. Not to mention, you don't get to choose how much you tip. No air conditioning, and you feel like your in some strangers home surrounded by pictures of their families, from all the way back to the 1800s. Not only would I not recommend it, I feel like I should call Gordon Ramsey to come fix that place completely and show their chef how to cook with FLAVOR! I'd give this restaurant a rating of 0 stars out of 5. Please, don't go there. Just dine at one of the amazing Casa Restaurants in Fort Wayne. You pay the same amount, get much better service, and get three times as much food. Casa is always a better choice when it comes to Italian food. Either Casa, or Olive Garden.

When it comes to booking hotel stays, travelers have many options, including the hotels' own websites, online travel agencies (Expedia, Orbitz, Hotels.com, etc.), and aggregator sites, like Kayak and Trivago, which compile results from multiple booking engines and sites.
The Best Hotel Booking Sites to Visit
The sheer number of options can be overwhelming. And adding to the difficulty of making a confident choice, the landscape is in constant flux, with once-trusted names falling by the wayside as shiny new upstarts bring more robust technology and better user interfaces to the space.
For those who find themselves overwhelmed, or just need a refresher on the latest and greatest, Frommer's newly released "Best and Worst Hotel Booking Websites" survey will help narrow the field.
Here's how Frommer's described the survey's methodology: "In order to rank them, we ran all the major sites through a battery of tests to determine which found the most options and the lowest rates—both in various price categories and on specific hotels—in Boston, Rome, and Hong Kong."
The alluded-to "battery of tests" appears to have been quite exhaustive. In reading the reviews of the listed sites, it's clear that Frommer's considered a host of variables, including the number of hotels and destinations covered, choice filters, sort options, success in locating the lowest price, and so on.
The result is a compilation of booking sites that includes some of the old standbys but also some sites that many travelers will be hearing about for the first time.
Frommer's 10 best:
- HotelsCombined.com
- Trivago
- Booking.com
- Priceline
- Hotels.com
- Expedia /Travelocity
- Agoda.com
- HostelWorld.com
- Orbitz
- HotelTonight
Note that most hotels only award loyalty-program points for bookings made on their own websites. That doesn't make the Frommer's list irrelevant, however; it's still worth checking third-party sites to see whether the rate quoted on the hotel site is the lowest available.

2 Chair & Director s Report was another positive year for Causeway. As expected, we completed the purchase of our second house, a five bedroom shared property in Hackney. We also created two new posts, Senior Housing Manager and Special Projects Manager. The Senior Housing Manager will lead the housing management team and develop the service. The Special Projects Manager will oversee our Lifeskills & Step Up projects, and seek funding to introduce other housing plus projects to the organisation. Both of our Step up Projects, assisting single homeless people to access the private rented sector in Haringey and Enfield, continued to do well, and received another year s funding from Department of Communities and Local Government.via Crisis, as did our partnership project with the Refugee Council. This means that by the end of this year, we will have created and sustained over 200 Private Rented Sector tenancies. Our work was recognised by Crisis with the award of PRS Champions status for working in partnership to support refugees. Partnership has been key for us this year. As founding members of the Waltham Forest Community Consortium, with Home from Home, Tamil Community Housing, Ackee Housing Profect and Karin HA, we were awarded just under 1 million pounds from DCLG to deliver our empty homes programme, bringing at least 25 empty properties back into use by It is expected that the consortium will continue beyond this to provide more housing in north-east London and beyond, managed by small housing organisations rooted in the communities in which we work. Our Lifeskills and Resettlement Project has been gearing up for Universal Credit, running IT and money management courses to ensure our tenants and Step Up clients are ready to face the changes whenever and howev-
3 All of this could have meant taking our eye of our core housing services. Fortunately, our staff team recognises that this is the engine which drives everything else and enables us to provide those additional services to our tenants and to the community. There has been no let up in the housing management team s work to constantly improve the service and add to our stock. Our Housing Management team achieved a record low of 2.5% voids and 3.8% bad debts for the year. We are also grateful to our private landlords and Registered Provider partners for their assistance in this. In particular, we d like to thank Circle 33 and St Martin of Tours for providing us with additional homes this year. Finally, a huge vote of thanks to our Committee who have consistently given their time and talents to make all of this happen. They have taken some extremely positive and ambitious decisions in the last year to ensure that we never rest on our laurels and continue to move forward and grow. Joanne Murray Director Neal Purvis Chair
4 Turning Empty Property into Homes: This year the Waltham Forest Community Consortium was awarded 945,000 by DCLG to bring 25 empty homes back into use. The consortium is made up of five community-based housing associations, namely Ackee Housing Project, Home from Home, Tamil Community Housing, Karin and Causeway. Pat Connolly, the consortium s Project Officer, talked about this exciting project and its challenges. What inspired you to take on this project? The challenge. Although I have worked in the housing sector for many years, this was something very different to my previous roles. I envisaged working on this project would be a great learning opportunity and provide the opportunity to develop new skills. What has the consortium achieved so far? The project has been slow to gain momentum, mainly because the council have a similar scheme which is financially more attractive to many property owners, and house prices in London generally, and in Walthan Forest in particular, are rising fast. This was not envisaged when the original bid was submitted. However, despite these obstacles we have completed our first Purchase and Repair property which is now tenanted, we have purchased and are developing our second property, and expect to complete on our third Purchase and Repair in the coming weeks. We also expect to sign off and start work on our first Lease and Repair in the next few weeks. Another number of properties are at the early stages in the pipeline. What s it like working with a consortium as opposed to a single organization? It is more difficult, mainly as the decision making process can take some time, also the different consortium member have different requirements, expectations and processes, all of which can slow the process down. It s interesting to see the subtle differences in how the organisations work though, and to have input from a wide variety of staff. What are the biggest challenges you ve faced? Finding suitable properties and signing up property owners. We had hoped to get information on suitable empty properties from the councils Empty Homes Team using the council tax information, but changes in the council tax system mean that that information is no longer available. Further, there s a danger, with
5 different streams of funding set up to solve the problem, that this scheme could be seen as a competitor with the council s own empty homes scheme. Have you learned anything new? Yes many new things, the importance of adapting strategies to what actually works, and of constantly reassessing and evaluating the project. Also the importance of networking and promoting the scheme in a targeted way. Will we deliver what we ve set out to do? Yes I believe we will. It may be necessary to focus our attention more on Purchase and Repair and away from Lease and Repair, but building on our initial success and using the contacts that have been developed via networking and continuing to network and be creative in our approach, there is, I believe, every likelihood that we will meet or come very close to delivering our targets.

6 Aniesha s Career takes off with Causeway I was looking for somewhere to live and my friend recommended Causeway as they were a tenant. I contacted Causeway in 2006 and found it to be a very easy process; I completed my application for housing and was invited for an interview. I was nervous about the interview but the staff made me feel so comfortable, I felt really calm and under no pressure, it did not feel like an interview and the conversation flowed well. I believe I was housed by Causeway within 2 weeks of my interview and I was really impressed. I moved to a shared property in Wood Green where I stayed for a few years before being moved into my own flat. I found all the staff very helpful and they always try to help keep us happy. Causeway listens to their tenants and they are quick at resolving issues that are reported to them. I was not left alone or felt alone when I was moved into my new home, they provide a good support network. More recently I have been attending workshops at Causeway relating to employment. The life-skills worker has assisted me in securing training at Stansted Airport. There are various job opportunities and in different sectors. I am halfway through my training which is set up through Urban Futures, they also provide you the cost of your travel which for me was a huge benefit as travelling costs can be expensive especially on a tight budget. Once my training is completed I will be applying for jobs and am interested in becoming a passenger service agent. I recommend Causeway to everyone and definitely suggest that they attend the Life-skills workshops as I have benefitted greatly!
7 Vivien Clarke- My Story I have been a tenant with Causeway now for 9 years. I came over from Ireland with my partner to look for work when I was 16. We rented a property and I mainly worked in bars and pubs. I had no family in London and found it hard to settle. London felt like a concrete jungle and I felt very lonely. It took me about 5 years to fully settle. It became easier as I began making friends. I joined the Civil Service and began working in Courts across London. I split up with my longterm partner and needed to find housing. I approached the London Irish Centre and they told me about Causeway. All the staff at Causeway were friendly and the application process was easy as I was scared at the time. I had never done anything like this before. It was a swift process from interview to being housed and I was housed in a lovely property which was brand new. It was onwards and upwards from there. I loved my time there and got on so well with my housemates. I was unfortunately involved in a serious motorbike accident and had to move to friends for 6 months to recover as I was on crutches. I was also in a new relationship and expecting so Causeway helped to move me into a larger property in Hammersmith. Causeway has been a great help to me as I had no family support when I moved to London. They have a massive impact on people s lives. I studied a Beauty therapy course and opened my own business at the Hammersmith Irish centre where I hired a room 3 days a week until they closed down. I have since had two more children and taken a career break from the Civil Service. I am currently studying for GCSE Maths and English and was recently diagnosed with Dyslexia something which was never spoken about whilst I was growing up.
