Present: John Baerg, Bill Berg, Raymond Gustafson, Mark Rentz and Scott Sanders.
Approved the Agenda as amended.
Approved the minutes of the July 3 regular meeting.

Approved per diem and mileage for Board members attending the Minnesota Viewer's Association meeting on July 26.
The Board reviewed a request from Daniel and Donna Rued to repurchase their tax-forfeited Parcel No. 16.100.930 described as the South ½ of Lots 11 and 12 in Block 13, City of Lewisville. All back taxes and fees will need to be paid.
Approved to grant the repurchase request of Daniel and Donna Rued.
Approved payment of the general credit card bill in the amount of $567.15 and the Sheriff's when it arrives.
Environmental Services Officer Bruce Johnson was present for review of the Conditional Use Permit Application of Schwartz Farms, Inc. to construct a new feedlot over 700 animal units in the SW½ of NW¼ in Section 27 of Nelson Township. 12 interested persons were present. The permit was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission with the conditions that a tree plan be submitted and implemented, and notification to the church and cemetery board prior to manure application. The site is approximately one mile straight west of East Sveadahl Church. It was questioned whether another parcel could have been chosen. Johnson noted that this was the only one that met all the required setbacks.
Lisa Shellum spoke on behalf of the East Sveadahl Church and questioned if there was evidence that each of the 11 standards of the Ordinance have been met, because they believe it would be injurious to the use and enjoyment of the existing use of the church. She requested that a biofilter system be installed, or that it be relocated at least another half-mile out, and that there is assurance that all of the standards were met. Tom Anderson also spoke from Sveadahl stating that not all things are black and white and asked the Board to weigh the legality versus the morality of the issue. Diane Miller, who lives right next to the church, noted that there are four residences within 3/4 mile of the site. Joann Jensen questioned what good the tree planting at the site would do. Bill Crawford, representing Schwartz Farms, responded that trees increase the mixing and dilution of the odor and also create a visual screen. John Schwartz stated that this site is almost a mile from the church, and only a half-mile is the required setback.
Commissioner Rentz stated that although the proposed site is within the Ordinance, ethics should be considered. Commissioner Berg asked Mr. Schwartz if he would consider looking for a different site. Commissioner Gustafson said Schwartz has an excellent reputation, but that locating so close to the cemetery was of concern. Commissioner Baerg asked that it be moved a little further away. Chairman Sanders noted that he has been on the Planning Commission for many years, and when Watonwan County was sued the Supreme Court complimented the County on the standards of the half-mile setback as adequate distance to address odor and health issues. Other similar uses already exist in the area, and the church currently has a hog facility less than a quarter mile away in the other direction that existed prior to the Ordinance. It was proposed that no pumping or application be done on Sundays, and that the church notify the Schwartz's within 72 hours of a wedding or funeral to be held there.
Passed 3 to 2, with Berg and Sanders opposed, to deny the Conditional Use Permit requested by Schwartz Farms, Inc.
Public Works Director Roger Risser reviewed the Road and Bridge Cash Flow Chart for April – June 2012.
Approved to accept completed Contract #9822 and approve final payment to Mathiowetz Construction Co. Inc. for SAP 83-598-022 for replacement of the box culvert on CR 126 over Antrim Creek.
Risser presented a refined proposal from Mapformation that included the cost of digital mapping each of the cities in the county. The proposal for the County alone was $1,300.00, plus $350.00 for printing artwork. Adding the cities would total $6,300.00, $1500 of which is for the City of St. James which is proceeding regardless of the County's participation. The County would have the rights to edit and make updates to the mapping.
Berg moved, Gustafson seconded and the motion passed unanimously, to accept the quote of Mapformation in the amount of $1,650.00 for digital mapping of the County with print-ready artwork.
Risser reported that the County's GIS Base Map with E-911 designations is now available on the MnDOT website, and is available for download. Mapping vendors only have to download it to update GPS systems.
Approved payment of bills as audited and filed in the County Auditor's Office as follows by fund: General Fund—$136,011.35; Solid Waste Fund—$646.08; Ditch Fund—$3,930.39; and the Road and Bridge Fund—$144,153.37.
Approved to authorize Library Director Cheryl Bjoin to apply for a credit card account for the Library system, and to designate Bjoin and Assistant Director Stacy Lienemann as the approved cardholders, with card payment to come before the full board.
County Auditor Donald Kuhlman reviewed the June financial reports.
Chairman Sanders reported that the MCIT dividend will be similar to 2011's, and the rates for worker's compensation and liability will be slightly lowered.
Approved adding a bill from Fairmont Ford for TMT bus repairs to the previously approved bills.
Approved a pay increase upon the satisfactory completion of probationary period by Ronald Kueker.
Approved one step pay increases for Megan Karau and Shari Henson.
It was noted that Glenda Arndt resigned from her Lewisville Branch Manager I position, but will retain her Madelia Branch Assistant position at 20 hours per week.
Approved the appointment of Cheryl Lindell to the position of Branch Library Assistant.
Approved to add the duties of Lewisville Branch Manager I to the position of Cheryl Lindell at approximately 8.5 hours per week.
In discussion of the Sentence to Serve program it was noted that Watonwan County's sentenced individuals are working on Brown County STS crews, but they will not be performing work in Watonwan County. It was questioned what it would cost to have someone licensed and trained to do the work within the County.

For several years now I have attended the Gotham kosher wine extravaganza. I was concerned this year when the tasting was moved from its traditional Sunday afternoon affair to a Wednesday night event. I am happy to say that I got home a few hours ago and it was once again a very well organized and attended event. A very impressive (and affordable) VIP tasting. A huge lineup of kosher wines. Close to 300 kosher wine lovers…all in all a very nice night. Among my favorite wines of the night were the Barkan Superieur Pinotage and a 2000 Bordeaux, Chateau Branda.
I'm a bit sleep deprived these days and it is late, but I want to end this post with some cool info I got via a mass email…15 (other) uses for Vodka…
Happy alternative Vodka uses…
1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves adhesive.
3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.
4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot dry.
7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.
8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle, and spray bees or wasps to kill them.
9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes.
10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.
11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.
12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
13. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.
14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the Urushiol oil from your skin.

I ruined two tankinis before I finally bought maternity bathers during my third pregnancy. You may ask why I didn't get in to maternity swimwear sooner. Looking back, the main reason was range – seven years ago, the choice of swimwear available for expectant mothers was nothing like the stylish (and well designed) range that can be found today. Leader of the pack is glamorous Spanish label Pez D'Or.
Pez D'Or swimsuits have all sorts of design features to accomodate growing bellies (or shrinking bellies, post baby!). Flattering halter necks, rouched tankini tops (fitted where it counts and free-flowing over your bump) and bikini bottoms with adjustable side ties.
And with all that comes style – I always go for basic black and the Pez D'Or Cannes one-piece is simple and flattering but I must admit the eighties surfie-chick charm of the Mundaka design caught my eye – bright, beachy colours and the option of three pieces makes it a maternity winner (shown below).
Prices range from $95.95 to $147. Pez D'Or is available in Australia at Beach Maternity.

For many years, Santa Cruz downtown has had a dubious distinction – No Dogs allowed. This is on the sidewalks, in the stores, at the cafes and patios. Everywhere. As one of only a handful of cities with such an ordinance the time has come to repeal this law. With arguably the most dog-friendly city in America, Carmel, less than a 1 hour drive from Santa Cruz, this law has been a money loser and serves no useful purpose. Now there is an effort to overturn the dog ban. We ourselves have driven right by Santa Cruz to Monterey or Carmel due to this policy which blights an otherwise dog-friendly area. Anyone who is interested in this issue, please see the attached Santa Cruz Sentinel article for more information:
Santa Cruz merchants likely to support overturning downtown dog ban
UPDATE – July 20, 2011 – The Santa Cruz City Council voted 4-2 to allow dogs in downtown starting by Sept 1, 2011 – see updated story

A man whose life and public career spanned World War I, the Great Depression and World War II, Albert Conway was a traditionalist with a strong sense of justice, the highest ethical standards and a deep appreciation for the past. Simultaneously, he was an innovative reformer who understood the needs and demands of his time.
Members of the bar remember him as a tall, dignified man, who dressed in a three piece suit and derby, and who urged a formal style on all lawyers. "I do have a sense of humor," he once remarked, "but not when I go to court."1 His apparently austere demeanor concealed a benevolent, fun loving man of many talents, who often displayed his love for his family, the Church, and all aspects of Brooklyn.
His public service and lasting contributions to New York State were generated over 40 years, nearly 20 of them he served as Associate Judge or Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals.
Pre- and Post-World War I
The son of immigrants, Albert Conway was born on April 3, 1889 at his parents' home at 911 Bushwick Avenue in Brooklyn.2 He was the only son with two sisters, Genevieve and Josephine. His father, Joseph Patrick Conway, was born in England and worked initially as a purveyor of dry goods until, through self study at night, he became a lawyer and author.3 His mother, the former Jane (Jennie) Lucille Flanagan (also spelled Flannigan), was born in Ireland.4 Although his birth certificate lists his name as Richard Albert Conway, his family always called him Albert. Thus, by 1911, he discontinued signing his name "R." or "Richard" Albert Conway.5
Raised in the Roman Catholic faith, Albert Conway attended Boys High School in Brooklyn6 and then completed one year at St. John's College in Brooklyn. In his second year of college, he left to apprentice as a law clerk at his father's law office, and then worked in the same capacity at the law office of William C. DeWitt, both in Brooklyn.7 While apprenticing, he entered the Fordham University School of Law (approx. 1908 or 1909), which was then recently established (1905). During the same period, he was a member of the Young Men's Catholic Club of Brooklyn, and an editor in chief of that organization's publication The Mirror.8
In these early years his keen sense of justice and hatred of all forms of discrimination developed, due to his repeated exposure to signs in storefront windows stating "No Irish Need Apply."
Based upon his apprenticeships and the bar admission rules of the time, he was admitted to the practice of law on November 23, 1910, at the age of 21.9 He graduated cum laude from Fordham University School of Law, and received his LLB in 1911.10 Among his classmates was another future Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, John T. Loughran.11 A Democrat who entered politics as a party worker, he was an early protege of John H. McCooey, the Brooklyn Democratic leader. Nonetheless, throughout his public life Albert Conway strove for and achieved bipartisan support.
His public career began in 1913, when he was appointed Deputy Assistant District Attorney of Kings County by the then District Attorney James C. Cropsey, a Republican. At the time, he was the youngest person ever appointed to that position. By 1914, during World War I, he became an Assistant District Attorney and continued under another Republican District Attorney, Harry E. Lewis. During his years as an Assistant District Attorney (1914-1920), he prosecuted many celebrated murder, felony and municipal corruption cases and established a first-rate record.12 Ultimately, he was placed in charge of the Homicide Bureau.13
In 1917, he married Irene M. Pickett (nee Hewitt), who had been widowed at a young age.14 Irene was a descendent of Horatio Jones of General Washington's staff, and traced her heritage back to the Mayflower, being a descendant of Elder William Brewster, a founder of Plymouth Colony and an author of the Mayflower Compact.15 They resided initially at her family residence at 853 Bushwick Avenue, in Brooklyn. Between 1917 and 1926 they had four children, Alberta Irene (b. 1918), Elaine Margaret (b. 1919), Hewitt Arthur (b. 1922) and Lois Jane (b. 1926). During this time, Albert Conway also found time to serve as Professor of Equity Jurisprudence at the Brooklyn Law School of St. Lawrence University (1918-1919).16
Due to their growing family, the Conways purchased a home at 845 Carroll Street in Brooklyn, where Albert Conway lived until his death. He spent summer vacations in places where he and his family could escape the heat and humidity, and be free of outside contacts. They summered in Long Beach and Easthampton Long Island (late 1910s to 1920s), the Saranac region of the Adirondacks in upstate New York, the Mt. Tremblant and Lac Cler region of Quebec, Canada (1930s), and Boothbay Harbor, Maine (1940s to 1950s). He enjoyed swimming and golfing, and taught his children these favorite sports. During one summer in Long Beach, while he was an Assistant District Attorney, he received newspaper coverage for rescuing a melancholic woman from the surf.17
Following World War I, in 1920, he resigned his position as an Assistant District Attorney to form the law firm of Richards, Smyth & Conway in Brooklyn. His partners included former Municipal Court Justice Edward A. Richards, who had become the President of the East New York Savings Bank, and James A. Smyth.18
Between 1920 and 1929 he became prominent as a private practitioner. He recovered the largest verdict ever rendered by a King County jury up to that time.19 (see Rafter v. Richard K. Fox Pub. Co. 238 NY 567 [1924]). He was elected President of the Brooklyn Lawyers Club while being active in the Brooklyn Bar Association. His father, Joseph, lived to see his son achieve only some of this prominence, as he died on May 31, 1922.
While vacationing with his family in Long Island, Albert Conway was contacted by Enrico Caruso, the famed tenor, about a real estate matter. As their professional relationship and personal friendship developed, Mr. Caruso invited the Conways to hear him perform at the Metropolitan Opera House, and then to meet him backstage. Upon hearing Mr. Conway audition his own singing voice, Mr. Caruso complimented him and suggested that, with training, he too could become a professional singer. Shortly before Caruso died in 1921, he presented Albert Conway with a gold medallion on which Caruso's profile was engraved. Judge Conway wore the medal on his pocket watch chain for the rest of his life.
He gained further stature during his representation of a European countess in a high profile divorce action and attendant settlement negotiations, which required him to travel abroad with his wife. The news reporters met the Conways at the boat upon their return from Europe and, when asked to provide information on the case, he responded, "If I could say nothing in ten languages, I would do so." When, upon further inquiry he also refused to state what countries he had visited, the news reporter reflected, "Mr. Conway keeps his mouth closed tighter than a ship's bulkhead."20
In 1928 he made an unsuccessful bid as the Democratic candidate for State Attorney General on the same ticket as Franklin D. Roosevelt, the gubernatorial candidate, and Alfred E. Smith, then the Governor of New York and the Democratic presidential candidate. At the time, Albert Conway was among the youngest candidates for any office, and was the Chairman of the Law Committee for the Kings County Democratic Organization.
During that campaign he and his wife traveled together, Irene became known throughout the state for her work in welfare and educational societies. In Texas, where it was announced that Al Smith had received sufficient votes from the State of Ohio to secure the presidential nomination, Albert Conway paraded, cheered and sang with the rest of the Brooklyn delegation, without wearing his vest. One newspaper reporter remarked "Nobody can recall ever having seen [him] without his vest, no matter how hot the day might be."21
Following Mr. Roosevelt's gubernatorial election, Conway was named New York State Superintendent of Insurance (1929), and served in Governor Roosevelt's Cabinet (1929 1930). In accepting the appointment, he reportedly traded a $100,000 per year salary in private practice for a salary of $12,000 per year.22 During his one and one half year tenure as Superintendent of Insurance, he received recognition for achieving a reduction in homeowner insurance rates, for broadening group insurance to cover employees controlled by a common employer and members of labor unions, and for strengthening motor vehicle insurance laws to ensure the financial responsibility of owners involved in accidents.23
The Great Depression
On May 5, 1929, six months before the stock market crash, Irene Conway died unexpectedly following what was supposed to be routine surgery, leaving him a widower with four young children.24 Her funeral service was attended by more than 1,500 friends and public officials, including the Borough President, then Lieutenant Governor Herbert H. Lehman and Mrs. Alfred E. Smith.25
As a sole parent and throughout his life, he impressed all of his children with the importance of pursuing an advanced education, and demonstrated his belief in the equality and professional advancement of women. Under his guidance his daughter Elaine and son Hewitt became attorneys, his daughter Lois a teacher with Masters Degrees in Speech Correction, Dramatic Production and Library Science, and his daughter Alberta a French scholar and a journalist/businesswoman.
His deep interest in the welfare and education of children and adults generally led him to serve as a Director of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum of Brooklyn, a Trustee of the Education Committee of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, and as a President of the Brooklyn Council, Boy Scouts of America. An ardent supporter of the Boy Scouts, he went on weekend camping trips with the scout troops even when he was an elected Supreme Court Justice.
In 1930 Governor Roosevelt appointed him to the County Court, Kings County. He often displayed tremendous sensitivity and kindness toward those who had become enmeshed in the criminal court system due to poverty resulting from the Great Depression.
While attending a luncheon hosted by the Brooklyn Insurance Brokers' Association, Judge Conway was asked whether he might prefer his former position of Superintendent of Insurance to his present position as County Judge. Judge Conway responded "At eighteen, every young lawyer is bitten by the bug of being a judge. He may never be satisfied unless he is let be a judge for a little while. Then he will get over it."26 The attendees then "nominated" him for Governor and expressed their hope that, someday, he might occupy the executive chair in Albany.27
In 1931 Judge Conway was elected to the Supreme Court, Kings County, again with bipartisan support.
On September 19, 1933, he married Alice M. O'Neil of Brooklyn. Alice was the first cousin and life-long friend of his first wife, Irene, and had served as a witness to that marriage.28
Pre- and Post-World War II
In 1937, after five years of service in Supreme Court, the Appellate Division, Second Department assigned Judge Conway to the Appellate Term. Two years later, Governor Lehman announced his intention to appoint Justice Conway to the position of Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, to fill a vacancy created by the impending resignation of Associate Judge John F. O'Brien. When interviewed about his pending appointment, he was asked about his hobbies, which he summed up in three words: family, Scouts and work.29
Following his appointment as an Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals (1940), by bipartisan nomination, he was elected to that position in the same year. While serving on the Court, he and his family were personally involved in World War II. His son, Hewitt, was a Captain in the Army while his daughter, Alberta, worked for the Office of War Information in London where she broadcast to the Free French of the Interior, the anti Nazi underground organization. During these years Judge Conway and his state side family members gathered in his study every night, anxiously listening to the eleven o'clock news on the radio to hear the latest reports on the bombings in London, always mindful of the safety of those who were abroad. During this time, his mother died on November 29, 1945.
After World War II, all family members, safely reunited, often frequented Ebbets Field on Sunday afternoons. Judge Conway purchased tickets from his friend and the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Walter F. O'Malley, and he and his family watched the Brooklyn Dodgers games from Mr. O'Malley's box behind the dugout.30 There, Judge Conway ardently rooted, cheered and munched on a hot dog, all the while dressed formally in his three-piece suit and straw hat. When he and his family went on summer vacations, whether in Long Island, upstate New York, Canada or Maine, they took turns holding a single radio at precise angles to obtain the best reception, in order to better follow the Dodgers.
While on the Court, Judge Conway was nominated as a compromise candidate for Governor.31 Although buttons and other campaign materials were produced,32 he did not run for the executive chair.
Chief Judge and Beyond
Judge Conway was appointed Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals on January 1, 1954. His longest serving Law Clerk (1951 1959), James F. Niehoff, now retired, recalls that as an Associate Judge and later as Chief Judge, Albert Conway believed that a mastery of the facts of a particular case was critical to achieving the proper result. In particular, James Niehoff points to the decisions in People v. Trowbridge (305 NY 471 [1953]) and People v. LaMarca (3 NY2d 452 [1957], cert. denied 355 US 920 [1958]) as demonstrating this quality.33 Niehoff, as well as another Law Clerk for one and one half years, David D. Siegel, warmly remember Judge Conway as a dignified man both in speech and appearance who was kind to his staff and to those who appeared before him, and as a teacher and a friend.34
Deeply involved in reforming and improving the administration of justice, in 1955 Chief Judge Conway recommended the creation of the State Judicial Conference and became its first Chairman, and then selected the first State Administrator and his Counsel. After the Legislature failed to accept the Tweed Commission's plans for court reorganization, he agreed on behalf of the State Judicial Conference to undertake the drafting of a revised plan.35
Completed in November 1958, the proposals were incorporated in the court modernization bill passed by the Legislature in 1959. As Chairman, he sponsored the modernization of court records and systems, including the installation of IBM machines to receive, code and promptly tabulate data. His leadership in the movement to modernize the state courts led to their reorganization in 1962.36
As Chief Judge, he also oversaw the first reconstruction of the Court of Appeals building in Albany, completed in 1959, ensuring that it was modernized while retaining the architecture and flavor of the traditional structure.37
At the family's famed Thanksgiving dinners, while dressed in his traditional morning suit with accompanying pocket watch chain, Judge Conway carved each of the requisite two turkeys, and impressed his grandchildren by lighting the home made plum puddings prepared from his mother's recipe. After dinner, everyone retired to the parlor where the grandchildren formed a line in front of him and, depending upon each child's age, he distributed a gift of a toy or several consecutively numbered crisp, new, one dollar bills. He then led everyone in hours of song, his booming voice rising joyfully over the accompanying baby grand piano being played by a family member.
Judge Conway retired as Chief Judge on December 31, 1959, having reached the statutory age of 70. From 1960 to 1962 he served as an Official Referee of the Court of Appeals. From 1962 to 1966 he again served on the Supreme Court, Kings County.
During his lifetime, Judge Conway received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from several respected schools including Fordham University (1930), St. John's College (1932), Syracuse University (1949), Manhattan College (1951), New York Law School (1956) and Union College (1957).38
In addition to serving as a Director, Trustee and President of numerous child and adult welfare and educational organizations, he was a former Trustee of St. John's University, President of the Emerald Association, Trustee Emeritus of the Greater New York Savings Bank and a lifelong member of the American Cancer Society. A devout Roman Catholic, he was a Knight of St. Gregory and a Knight of Malta.
Judge Conway died in his 81st year on May 18, 1969.39 He was survived by his wife Alice, his four children, their spouses and 15 grandchildren. By that time, he had served on the bench for more than 35 years, and he still held the title of Ex Officio Chairman of the State Judicial Conference. His wake was held at his home at 845 Carroll Street with the viewing in the parlor, next to the piano. He is buried at St. John's Cemetery in Queens.
Albert Conway's eldest daughter Alberta Irene (d. 2006) married Edwin M. Jones of Bridgeport, Connecticut, an attorney who ultimately headed the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. They had five children: Michele (Delmhorst), Alberta (Will), Karen (Fronio), Edwin and Marianne (McNee). The eldest, Michele, is an attorney specializing in tax, as well as trusts and estates. The remaining children work in business and banking.
Elaine Margaret worked as a Law Secretary for a New York State Surrogate. She married Edward J.

For Appointments Call
AllSaints Belted Draped Cardigan Outlet Comfortable Exclusive Discount Ebay CoMplz
Care Practice is an intuitive clinic for patients who know that when they are told that a clinic accepts their insurance, it rarely means they will ultimately escape all the hidden cost built into the system. For those of you who are increasingly aware that "covered" rarely translates when interacting with our current health care system, Care Practice is the perfect practice. Care Practice was founded in 2008 during the global recession and built to be as simple and transparent with no hidden costs or headaches. The way we do that has been to operate unburdened by insurance companies as a fee-for-service operation. This means that you pay at the time of service and we give you the forms to submit to your insurance where out of network plans often cover up to 80% of the costs. We are also able to complete the insurance claim for you at a nominal fee of $10.
The real question is: why would we take insurance?
The goal of this site is to engage healthcare professionals around the country and facilitate new ways of communicating through new uses of available online content. With attention spans shrinking to 140 characters or less, it seems few are reading business websites these days beyond getting the number and making a frustrated call. Our walk-ins are way up and we specifically request people don't walk in. Currently, we are in the process of moving to all-digital processes and requiring online appointments. This doesn't fit everyone, but it is necessary for us, or we ran the risk of turning into San Francisco's helpline. We understand that patients are frustrated by limited and confusing choices. Data found on Google is frequently outdated and inaccurate, increasing patient's frustrations. Messaging via text or social media platforms are becoming the dominant form of communication, while phone calls are becoming a thing of the past.

Finally, a generic mark is a mark that describes the general category to which the underlying product belongs. For example, the term "Computer" is a generic term for computer equipment. Generic marks are entitled to no protection under trademark law. Thus, a manufacturer selling "Computer" brand computers (or "Apple" brand apples, etc.) would have no exclusive right to use that term with respect to that product. Generic terms are not protected by trademark law because they are simply too useful for identifying a particular product. Giving a single manufacturer control over use of the term would give that manufacturer too great a competitive advantage. Under some circumstances, terms that are not originally generic can become generic over time (a process called " genericity "), and thus become unprotected.
4. How do you acquire rights in a trademark?
Assuming that a trademark qualifies for protection, rights to a trademark can be acquired in one of two ways: (1) by being the first to use the mark in commerce; or (2) by being the first to register the mark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"). 15 U.S.C. § 1127(a) . Remember, however, that descriptive marks qualify for protection (and can be registered) only after they have acquired secondary meaning . Thus, for descriptive marks, there may be a period after the initial use of the mark in commerce and before it acquires secondary meaning, during which it is not entitled to trademark protection. Once it has achieved secondary meaning, trademark protection kicks in.
The use of a mark generally means the actual sale of a product to the public with the mark attached. Thus, if I am the first to sell "Lucky" brand bubble-gum to the public, I have acquired priority to use that mark in connection with the sale of bubble-gum (assuming that the mark otherwise qualifies for trademark protection). This priority is limited, however, to the geographic area in which I sell the bubble gum, along with any areas I would be expected to expand into or any areas where the reputation of the mark has been established. So, for example, if I sell pizza in Boston under the name "Broadway Pizza," I will probably be able to prevent late-comers from opening up a "Broadway Pizza" within my geographic market. But I will not be able to prevent someone else from opening a "Broadway Pizza" in Los Angeles.
The other way to acquire priority is to register the mark with the PTO with a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce. Unlike use of a mark in commerce, registration of a mark with the PTO gives a party the right to use the mark nationwide, even if actual sales are limited to only a limited area. This right is limited, however, to the extent that the mark is already being used by others within a specific geographic area. If that is the case, then the prior user of the mark retains the right to use that mark within that geographic area; the party registering the mark gets the right to use it everywhere else. So, for example, if I register the mark "Broadway" in connection with the sale of pizza, the existing "Broadway Pizza" in Boston retains the right to use the name in Boston, but I get the right to use it everywhere else.

Sharing the Universal Dharma
The Vedic Friends Association is an expanding, global network of progressive people helping each other understand, practice and promote the Universal Truths found in Vedic Dharma, the ancient knowledge of India. In this way we explore its spiritual, social and scientific dimensions for the good of all, and become a powerful force for beneficial change in this troubled world.
We are a group of people who were individually working in various ways to spread a greater understanding of what the Vedic culture and philosophy is and what it has to offer. We have been doing this for years separately but have now joined together. We also invite everyone else to join us to do the same–to act in ways to preserve, protect and share the universal Dharma with all others.
Vedic culture is the world's most ancient and largest, continuous spiritual tradition. It is the most globally powerful indigenous civilization left on Earth, still practiced by over a billion people. The Vedic tradition is based on Universal Truths of Dharma or natural laws that are applicable for anyone, at any time in history and anywhere in the world. Much tradition and evidence indicates that Vedic culture, with Sanskrit as the primal language, was the original universal culture beyond the many other traditions that later developed throughout the world. It is a tradition that emphasizes individual freedom to investigate spiritual truth to its deepest level and provides the methods by which one can have personal experience of the spiritual dimension.
The Vedic Friends Association (VFA) is a free organization with no fee required for joining. It provides contact for like-minded people of any background who want to reach a higher level of understanding and insight through the study and practice of the timeless Vedic wisdom. The VFA welcomes all people to learn and participate in whatever level of interest a person has in Vedic culture and its uplifting path. The VFA is based on Self-realization and a rational approach. Its activities are founded on voluntary service, a spiritual orientation, ethical principles, and are peaceful in nature as prescribed in the Vedic science. Please see Our Mission page for more information in this regard.
The VFA also aims to help unite those who are already practicing or teaching various aspects of the Vedic system in a new level of cooperation for helping spread the genuine knowledge that the Vedic culture has always provided, and to present solutions for many of the world's problems. Be sure to check out our Affiliate Writers and Teachers. We are networking with a growing number of people from around the world in varied backgrounds or schools of thought, and who are experienced in various aspects of Vedic study. These include writers, authors, researchers, lecturers, musicians, artists, Vedic astrologers, Ayurvedic practitioners, vegetarian cooks, and more, all of whom make informative presentations in their fields. Many have years worth of experience and have done radio and television shows, or extensively traveled on lecture tours. They can give interviews, provide presentations, and teach people more about their field of Vedic study. Interested parties or groups can arrange to have teams of our members to make insightful presentations at their conferences or meetings.
The Vedic Friends Association invites everyone to participate with our network and gain access to new friends and contacts of a similar mind and interest. If you are spiritually inclined and looking for a deeper understanding of life, the universe, or your real identity and relation with the Supreme, then the VFA will be something of which you will want to be a part. If you are interested in studying the Vedic sciences or the history of Vedic culture, then the VFA can help provide you with assistance in this way. Feel free to read the pages of this website and get a better understanding of the purpose of the VFA and how you may benefit by adding yourself to this association. Then be sure to contact us for further participation. There is much that we hope to offer you.


text: USDA Raises Production of Feed Crops November 23, 2012 12:53 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email The outlook for the supply of feed grains in the United States is improving, which could help support future corn demand, according to USDA's recent Feed Outlook report. Feed and residual use for the four feed grains plus wheat for the September 2012 through August 2013 period is expected to total 114.4 million tons, up from the previous-month estimate of 114 million metric tons but still 16.2 million tons below the 2011-12 marketing year. Corn will account for 92% of feed and residual use, up from 88% the previous marketing year due to lower feeding of wheat. USDA lowered its projected price range for corn of $7.10 to $8.50/bu. down to $6.95 to $8.25/bu. That lowers the average midpoint farm price from $7.80 to $7.60 per bushel. The number of animals being fed is dropping. USDA's projected index of grain-consuming animal units (GCAU) is 91.3 million, down from 92.6 million in 2011-12. Total U.S. meat production is also expected to be lower due to a thinning of both the cattle and swine herds. "It takes the beef industry about two or three years to rebound," says Mike Krueger, president and founder of The Money Farm, Fargo, N.D. "The pork herd can rebuild in about six to nine months. If we have cheaper corn prices, these herds will rebound pretty quickly." If corn prices remain around $7/bu., though, Krueger does not expect the beef or swine herds to recover anytime soon, but if prices drop into the $5/bu. range, feed demand should recover pretty quickly, he says. Production estimates for both corn and sorghum continue to increase, while the output for barley and oats remains unchanged. U.S. corn production for the current crop year is now forecast at 10.725 billion bushels, an increase of 19 million bushels from USDA's October forecast. USDA raised sorghum production by 4 million bushels to 256 million bushels due to improved yields in Texas, Nebraska, and Mississippi. Like corn prices, the projected marketing year price range for sorghum was lowered to $6.55 to $7.85, which is 15 cents lower on the low end of the range and 25 cents lower on the high end. Production of barley and oats was unchanged in November. Barley production of 220 million bushels is up a strong 41% over the 2011-12 marketing year. Likewise, production of oats at 64 million bushels was unchanged from the previous month's projection but up a strong 19% from the previous marketing year. The average seasonal farm price for barley was lowered a nickel to $6.45, while the projected average 2012-13 farm price for oats was lowered a dime to $3.80/bu. "Cash barley and oats prices are expected to continue to be supported by comparatively high corn prices in the coming months; however, a significant portion of the barley and oats crops has already been marketed and a large share of production, especially malting barely, is produced and sold under contract at set prices. This combination of market features limits the potential for future average farm price escalations," notes USDA. Severe to exceptional drought is still plaguing a large portion of both the high plains and the southern plains as well as parts of the Midwest. "We can't afford another poor production season in 2013 on any of these crops," says Krueger. Back to news

"Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years."
Last week was sweet, hitting 11-4 on the picks. Everything seemed to be going our way all day long. Sure, we had a few stinkers. Cardinals +10? They lost 58-0. Ok, I was slightly off on that one. Texans + 3 1/2 and I said they would win straight up? Ha ha. They were down 21-0 before I was settled in on my couch.
Good times, and I'll enjoy it while I can because week to week you never know how the gambling gods will treat you.
Stay in the loop. I usually tweet out some picks on Sunday morning, so follow me on Twitter (@Fantasource) to get the latest.
Here's hoping for another great week with the picks…
Last Week: 11-4
Season Record: 94-81-3
Sunday, Dec. 16th
Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears (+3, O/U 43)
One team is hot (GB has won seven of their last eight and is 6-2 ATS in that stretch), and one team is cold (Chicago is 1-4 straight up and against the spread in their last five games).
I think a lot of people are going to take the Packers, and that scares me a little but I don't think the Bears will win this game. We know that the Bears defense is one of the best in the league, but the Green Bay "D" is also pretty good and they'll be getting back Clay Matthews. And they're going to need those guys as their defensive line is still shorthanded.
Despite the injuries on the d-line I'll take the Packers -3 on the road.
Pick: Packers -3
New York Giants at Atlanta Falcons (-2, O/U 51)
Yeah, I like the Falcons in this one. I know that the Giants rolled up 52 points last week against the Saints. And I know that the Falcons went into Carolina and lost to the 3-9 Panthers. But I like the Falcons.
This is a bounce back game for the Falcons and they also have some revenge on their side. Last year in the playoffs the Falcons went up to New York and got embarrassed by the Giants. They lost 24-2 but it was much more lopsided than that. I think they will remember that.
I like the Falcons to get it done at home.
Pick: Falcons -2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints (-3 1/2, O/U 53 1/2)
Nick Foles went into Tampa last weekend and threw for 381 yards. Now Drew Brees gets to face the same Bucs pass defense? I think he'll get 400. But the Saints just gave up 52 points to the Giants last week. So neither defense is playing that well.
This is a division battle and Tampa is still (sorta, kinda) alive for the playoffs at 6-7. But even though this is a 'must win' game for the Bucs, I like the Saints.
This will be a high scoring game and the OVER is probably a decent bet. Both teams could hit the 30's in this one. I just think that the Saints, at home, with some momentum after getting exonerated by the Commissioner in the Bountygate affair will have an extra spring in their step. They should get the win and the cover at home.
Pick: Saints -3 1/2
Minnesota Vikings at St. Louis Rams (-3, O/U 38)
This line seems off. I know that the Rams have a good defense, but they have no offense. St Louis has only scored over 21 points twice in their last 11 games. And you're giving me three points with Adrian
Peterson (who is absolutely on fire lately) and the Vikings? I'll take it.
I expect Adrian Peterson to run the ball all day, and I think the Rams will counter with a lot of Steven Jackson (to kill clock and keep AP off of the field) so it should be a low scoring game. So I'll take the points.
Pick: Vikings +3
Washington Redskins at Cleveland Browns (+2 1/2, O/U 43)
This game is impossible to handicap without knowing if Redskins QB Robert Griffin is playing. As of Thursday it looks like he will play. So I'll make my pick as if he is playing.
And either way, I'm going with the Redskins. The Washington rush offense is tops in the league at 167 yards per game. A lot of that has to do with Griffin's scrambling ability but they do have Alfred Morris in the backfield to make up for what you lose by Griffin not being 100%.
The Redskins are hot (four wins in a row), so are the Browns (three wins in a row) but in this one Washington has some extra motivation. They need a win to keep pace with the Giants and Cowboys for the NFC East title. Just a month ago that seemed impossible, but now they are 7-6 and only one game back.
I like Washington to stay hot, Griffin will be hobbled but still have a good game and that should be enough to win and cover on the road.
Pick: Redskins -2 1/2
Jacksonville Jaguars at Miami Dolphins (-7, O/U 37)
There aren't many spots where I'd lay 7 points with the Dolphins, but this is one of them. Jacksonville is not a good team. There's no other way to put it. They are 28th in defense, 30th in offense. Just, bad all around.
Now, Miami isn't exactly a powerhouse but they can hang their hat on a defense that is ranked 12th in the league. I think the way to handicap this is to expect the Jags to score 17 points or less. Now can Miami score 24+ and cover? I think they can. I'd say Miami 27-17 and that means I'll lay the 7 with the Dolphins.
Pick: Dolphins -7
Denver Broncos at Baltimore Ravens (+2 1/2, O/U 48)
If the Ravens win this week then they will clinch the AFC North, so they have a lot of incentive in this game. Plus, they are home dogs, something that hasn't happened since 2009. I like the Ravens in this one.
The Ravens also fired their offensive coordinator this week and I think that will jumpstart the offense a little. Baltimore has lost two games in a row so this game lines up for them as a 'must win' and if you add in all of the extras (new OC, clinching the division, home dog) I think they can pull the upset.
I know Denver is on fire. They've won eight games in a row and they have already clinched the AFC West division, but coming east as a road dog against a decent Ravens team? Nah. I'll take Baltimore.
Pick: Ravens +2 1/2
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans (-8 1/2, O/U 48)
So, before last week we thought the Texans were the 2nd best team in the AFC and they headed up to Foxboro to try to claim the top spot. How'd that work out? Wow, the Texans got blown out. Down 21-0 early in the 2nd quarter and it was over by halftime.
But I think Houston can put that loss behind them this week and they get a big win at home against the Colts.
Yeah, I know that I'm going against all kinds of karma when I pick against the Colts. They seem to cover every week. Well not every week, but they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games. That's pretty darn good.
But despite all of that I am still going with the Texans.
This game is a big step up in class for the Colts, they haven't played a "good" team since they were blown out by the Patriots four weeks ago, and before then you have to go all the way back to October 7th against the Packers. Yes, they've gone 8-2, but mostly against a pretty mediocre slate of opponents.
I know 8 1/2 is a lot of points to lay in the NFL, but the Texans need a bounce back game after that embarrassing loss last week, and they can clinch the division with a win this week. So I expect them to show up and get the job done.
Pick: Texans -8 1/2
Carolina Panthers at San Diego Chargers (-3, O/U 44 1/2)
I can't pick the Chargers, especially not after that huge win last week at Pittsburgh. That game was pretty much their Super Bowl, and now they come home to play the Panthers in a 'who cares' game, I don't see San Diego getting up for this one.
You could say the same for the Panthers, that they could be flat after a big division win over the Falcons last week, but the Panthers weren't going anywhere this season, so while 4-9 is disappointing, it's not like we thought they could win their division (unlike the Chargers). I think the Chargers just want this season to end.
The defenses are pretty even in this matchup, but I think Cam Newton is the difference on offense. He should be able to move the ball against a mediocre Chargers defense. And after a bad start to the season the Panthers have played well the past few weeks, and Carolina is 4-2 against the spread on the road this season with no losses by more than 6 points. I'll take the points here and say the Chargers come out flat after a big win last week, and the Panthers get the cover.
Pick: Panthers +3
Seattle Seahawks vs. Buffalo Bills (in Toronto) (+5′, O/U 42 1/2)
As much as I want to say Seattle will have a let down in this game after beating the Cardinals 58-0 last week, I can't do it. I like the Seahawks.
Seattle is a good team. And as the season goes on and rookie QB Russell Wilson gets more experience, they just seem to get better. This week I think we will see a lot of RB Marshawn Lynch. Buffalo is giving up 134 yard rushing per game, so Lynch could have a huge week. Combine that with the Seattle defense that is ranked second in the league, it could be a long day for the Bills.
West coast teams going east is not a good position to be in, especially when they are the favorite, but I'll lay the points and say the Seahawks run the ball all day and win big.
Pick: Seahawks -5 1/2
Detroit Lions at Arizona Cardinals (+6, O/U 44)
Hey, the Cardinals just lost by 58 points to Seattle. They haven't scored over 20 points in a game since September. They have no offense. Let's pick them to cover this week.
What? Why would I pick the Cardinals? Call it a hunch, maybe a little "they can't stink forever" logic. Who knows, but I think they can hang here, and getting 6 points at home? I'll take it.
Forget last week for a second, and let's look at the stats. Arizona has the second ranked pass defense and if the Lions are going to win this week, they'll need to move the ball through the air. I think this game will be close (Lions 24-21?), and I'll take the points.
Pick: Cardinals +6
Pittsburgh Steelers at Dallas Cowboys (+1 1/2, O/U 44)
So, this line seems fishy. People will see Dallas getting points at home against a not-so-great Steelers team? But I think Pittsburgh is a little bit better than Dallas on both sides of the ball so I understand the line, but I still think it will generate a lot of Dallas money.
Dallas is 0-6 against the spread at home this season, and that is a trend that I think will continue. I like Pittsburgh here.
It's been a rough month for the Steelers. Since QB Ben Roethlisberger got hurt against the Ravens five weeks ago the Steelers are 1-3. But Ben is back and after a stinker like they had last week (losing at home against San Diego as 7 point favorites) I think they will win here.
Dallas has played well recently, 4-1 in their last five games, but this week they could be without WR Dez Bryant and that could be big. Plus, Dallas has the 23rd rated pass defense, and with Ben healthy and ready to throw, it could be a long day in Big D for the Cowboys.
I like Pittsburgh to win and cover on the road.
Pick: Steelers -1 1/2
Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders (-3, O/U 43 1/2)
Wow. Can my pick be "who cares"? If you had to rank the NFL teams top to bottom these two would definitely be in the bottom 3 or 4. I'd put the Chiefs last (but the Jags are really trying hard to take over that bottom spot), and probably stick the Raiders 30 out of 32.
So, how do you handicap this one? Well, you just pick the Raiders because the Chiefs are bad on a whole different level this season – especially on offense. And I think that is the difference here. A decent (not great, just decent) offense for the Raiders should be enough to win this game at home.
Both defenses are bad, but the Chiefs offense couldn't get out of their own way. I don't have confidence in Brady Quinn as a QB, and I sure as heck won't put my money on him.
In a battle of bad teams, I'll go with the one that stinks less. Raiders.
Pick: Raiders -3
San Francisco 49ers at New England Patriots (-5 1/2, O/U 46)
The Patriots are the best team in football. Let's stop the discussion right now. On offense they are unstoppable. Tom Brady is moving them up and down the field like a robot. They're averaging 36 points per game, 8 points more than the Broncos (who are in 2nd).
We all know that the 49ers have a pretty solid defense. But is it good enough to go on the road and stop the Patriots? I don't think it is. I like Colin Kaepernick, he's had a nice stretch of games, but this is a different type of atmosphere here. Sunday Night, on the road against the Patriots, and it's going to be cold with a chance of snow in Foxboro.
I think the Pats win this one handily. New England demolished the Texans last week and they should be able to handle the 49ers this week. I'll lay the 5 1/2 with the Patriots.
Pick: Patriots -5 1/2
Monday, Dec. 3rd
New York Jets at Tennessee Titans (-1 1/2, O/U 41 1/2)
J-E-T-S. I'm taking the screwed-up, dysfunctional, no-offense, best QB is on the bench, circus team on the road on Monday Night Football. Am I nuts? Maybe. But I think the Jets will win here.
Tennessee has lost five of their last six games. Why are they favored? Just because they're at home on a Monday night? The Jets defense has been playing well recently, so they should be able to handle the Titans' below average offense. And the Tennessee defense is just bad enough that I think New York can put up some points and win this one.
I'll take the points on the road on Monday night but I don't think I'll need them.
Pick: Jets +1 1/2

by Clark Groome
A cabaret musical and the second entry of the Quintessence Theatre Group's spring repertory productions made up my time at the theater last week. Here's what I saw:
Dean Martin was born Dino Paul Crocetti in Steubenville. Ohio. According to Armen Pandola's "Dino! An Evening with Dean Martin at the Latin Casino," Dean was the man the public saw; Dino was the man his friends and family knew.
The show, which runs through June 30 at the Walnut Street Theatre's Independence Studio on 3, is set at Cherry Hill's Latin Casino on a snowy evening in 1978. Because of the blizzard, only Martin's pianist and a few devoted fans make it for his performance. He takes the opportunity to tell his audience about the real Dean Martin. There are plenty of songs. There's a lot of chatter. There's an insufferable number of booze and ethnic jokes.
In theory, "Dino!" is a good idea. In practice it doesn't quite make it, primarily because Nat Chandler's performance is more Bert Parks than Dean Martin. It's never clear whether he's trying to mimic Martin or just sing songs associated with him. The result is a vocal performance that's all over the map. There's also the sense that Chandler is the person most impressed with his performance. It's too ego-driven for my taste. And while Martin was a great pop singer, Chandler is barely a good one.
The songs are familiar and range from Martin anthems like "Everyone Loves Somebody" and "That's Amore" to Al Jolson's "Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Goodbye" and, believe it or not, Roger Miller's "King of the Road."
His biographical and introspective revelations — from his early days in Ohio through the Martin and Lewis years, the Rat Pack, the TV show and his many marriages — are interspersed between, and sometimes in the middle of, the songs. Musical director and pianist David Jenkins was superb.
Director Fran Prisco has turned the small theater into a nightclub that's nicely designed by Glen Sears and lit by Amanda Kircher. The audience is seated at tables where they can bring drinks bought in the lobby.
"Dino!" is pleasant, but I left the theater thinking that Dean and his audiences deserved better.
For tickets call 215-574-3550 or 800-982-2787 or visit walnutstreettheatre.org
"The Misanthrope"
Martin Crimp's stunningly effective adaptation of Molière's "The Misanthrope" moves the play from 17th century France to modern-day London.
The play focuses on playwright Alceste's inability to be anything but totally honest. His candor gets him in trouble with friends and, most significantly, with his girlfriend, in this version an American actress named Jennifer.
Crimp's "Misanthrope" is, like the original, in rhymed couplets. While the language is clearly contemporary, the piece has the feel of a 17th century comedy, particularly in the costume party that ends the 100-minute one act. All the characters except Alcesete are dressed in 17th century garb. That makes the story seem timeless, which it clearly is.
"The Misanthrope" is the second part of the Qunitessence Theatre Group's "Chocolate and Champagne Repertory." Teamed with George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man," the two plays run through May 26 at the Sedgwick Theatre, 7137 Germantown Ave.
Alexander Burns has directed Quintessence's "Misanthrope" with an appropriate energy that makes the situation and the characters entertaining and enlightening. The production establishes the various relationships and characters impressively.
While it turns out that Alceste loses his love, it's also apparent that he's better off without her or any of her unimaginably shallow friends.
While the entire Quintessence cast does well, John Williams, Daniel Frederick's, Mattie Hawkinson, Christopher Burke and Ames Adamson stood out.
"The Misanthrope" is equal parts comedy and social criticism. In Burns' strong Quintessence production, both elements are clearly visible in just the right proportions.
For tickets and performance schedules, call 1-877-238-5596 or visit quintessencetheatre.org

(Budget Travel) -- Forget everything you thought you knew about hostels. These six new spots come with designer credits, private and shared rooms, restaurants and some of the coolest furniture on the planet.
In the lobby of Amsterdam's citizenM, a plastic "algae" curtain separates the computer station from the sitting area.
Mama Shelter
The setup: Partners Cyril Aouizerate and Serge Trigano (his family cofounded Club Med) purchased a graffiti-covered parking garage in Paris's 20th arrondissement and unleashed Philippe Starck in the space. With orders to create a combo hotel and hostel, Starck went whimsical, covering curtains with photographs of Parisians and scrawling random thoughts on the ceilings (sample: "How lucky we are to have windows!"). Starck also added homey details, such as a cabinet stocked with bread and Nutella for late-night sandwich making.
Sleeping arrangements: All 172 of the rooms are private, from the singles to the Mama Suite, whose terrace overlooks Père-Lachaise Cemetery. Even the smallest quarters have kitchenettes, iMacs and shower-only bathrooms. Starck custom designed the graffiti-patterned carpeting and hung an illuminated Halloween mask next to each bed as a night-light. Budget Travel: See the new crop of design-minded hostels
The 'hood: A working-class enclave on the Right Bank, the 20th is one of Paris's most up-and-coming areas. The popular indie-rock bar La Flèche d'Or is across the street from Mama Shelter, and for a taste of old Paris, the Edith Piaf Museum is just on the other side of the cemetery.
Unexpected extras: Star chef Alain Senderens presides over Mama Shelter's restaurant, where diners can opt to eat their moules frites at a communal table with TVs embedded in its surface. You may be tempted to make use of the photo booth in the lobby, but be warned that its images are beamed onto a row of plasma TVs by the bar. Information: 011-33/1-43-48-48-48, mamashelter.com, private singles from $100. -- Ellise Pierce
The setup: When German furniture designer Nils Holger Moormann bought some land in southern Bavaria with an abandoned bakery on it, his plan was to use the grounds for storage. But that winter, inspiration struck: His bakery would make the ultimate gemütlich hostel -- one furnished with his own witty designs. Three years (and an astonishing amount of custom carpentry) later, Moormann opened Berge.
Sleeping arrangements: All 13 of the rooms are private and have double or queen-size beds, except for the Bergebude (mountain dorm), which has three bunks built into the walls. Although he's constantly adding features and moving furniture around, Moormann resolutely keeps the hostel TV-free.
The 'hood: Aschau is a medieval hamlet located 90 minutes by train from Munich and 45 minutes by car from Salzburg, Austria. There's first-rate skiing and snowboarding at the Chiemgau resort, within walking distance of Berge. Come spring, guests can hike through Alpine forests and cycle around Chiem Lake. In the village, the restaurant options range from neighborhood pubs to Residenz Heinz Winkler, a Michelin-starred restaurant with a 25,000-bottle wine cellar.
Unexpected extras: A bookworm, Moormann has planted 1,000-plus volumes throughout Berge. In the library, you can try out his top-selling Bookinist chair, with built-in shelves and a big wheel beneath the seat. "I made it when my back was giving me trouble, so I could just roll myself from place to place," he says. Information: 011-49/8052-904-560, moormannberge.de, private rooms from $100. -- Gisela Williams
The setup: Occupying three floors of the 81-year-old Cecil Hotel, Stay is a mod take on the backpacker special. "Having traveled through Europe in my twenties, I knew exactly what I didn't want," says designer Catherine Coan, whose credits include the high-service Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach, California. What she and partner Amy Price did want: an eye-popping palette, an in-house art gallery, a computer nook with 20-inch Macs and a tuned-in clientele of all ages.
Sleeping arrangements: Although they tend to book weeks in advance, try to nab one of the 13 private rooms that come with a queen-size pillow-top bed, Eames-style reading lamps and its own bathroom. The 12 shared quarters have from one to four bunk beds. Regardless of where you land, you will find playful details, such as polka-dotted sheets and bright-orange hand-shaped chairs.
The 'hood: Once-sketchy Main Street is currently on the upswing (Johnny Depp and Katherine Heigl both have lofts nearby), but the area can be desolate at night. Within walking distance: Little Tokyo, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall. Budget Travel: Hostels on the horizon
Unexpected extras: Stay's concierge lends out Xbox consoles and games to play on the 42-inch TV in the common area. Tuck, a comfort-food restaurant, opens in April and will deliver meat loaf and milkshakes to your room. Next up: Nip, a lobby bar scheduled to debut this summer. Information: 866/935-7829, stay-hotels.net, private rooms from $65. -- Monica Corcoran
Lub d
The setup: There's no sign whatsoever that Lub d (Thai for "sleep well") was formerly a slapdash office space. Its bright-yellow lobby is tricked out with Robert Indiana-inspired LOVE tables and a banner that reads HAPPY TO SEE YOU. Thanks to Bangkok-based P49 Deesign -- known for creating such swanky resorts as the oceanfront Trisara in Phuket -- even the shared bathrooms are stylish. Deft touches include poured-concrete island-style sinks and black-tiled showers with soap and shampoo dispensers labeled head to toe.
Sleeping arrangements: Of the hostel's four floors, two are communal, with both coed and women-only quarters (with three to five bunk beds per room and a locker for each person). Or you can step it up with a $40 Railway Twin, a private room for two with a bunk bed. Better yet, shell out $10 more for one of the eight private doubles, which have queen-size beds, flat-screen TVs and their own bathrooms.
The 'hood: Lub d is on busy Decho Road, in the Silom district. The surrounding grid of retail streets buzzes with activity into the early morning hours, which is great for night owls. One of Bangkok's largest evening food and shopping bazaars, Patpong Night Market, is just around the corner. To help guests get acquainted with the area, the hostel's manager leads a walking tour every Thursday afternoon.
Unexpected extras: Lub d has its own movie theater, with beanbag chairs in lieu of seats for lie-down viewing. Get your free popcorn at the self-service Yellow Donut Café and Bar in the lobby, which also offers breakfast. Information: 011-66/2-634-7999, lubd.com, private rooms from $40. -- Gisela Williams
The setup: From the outside, the 230-room citizenM looks like any other boxy airport hotel. But swing through the red-glass front doors and there's a surprise around every bend. Even registering is an adventure: Guests check themselves in at a row of monitors set against a wall-size bookshelf. A project of the Dutch design team Concrete, citizenM's interior was largely preassembled at a factory. That cost-cutting approach left funds for frills, such as the enormous Frank Gehry puffy-cloud chandelier that illuminates the lobby.
Sleeping arrangements: All of the quarters are private and come with either a custom-made XL bed (even bigger than a California king) or a pair of twins. That Jetsons-like cylinder in the middle of the room is actually the shower, with overhead LED lighting that changes colors. But the toy techies really love? Touch-screen mood pads that control the temperature, blinds and even the alarm clock. Attention, airplane spotters: West-facing rooms have views of the runways.
The 'hood: CitizenM is located directly across from the main terminal at Schiphol Airport. Express trains operate several times an hour between the airport and central Amsterdam -- about a 20-minute ride -- around the clock.
Unexpected extras: CanteenM, a 24-hour café in the lobby, serves smoothies, sandwiches, sushi bento boxes and house martinis with names like Vespa and Mobile. In April, a second citizenM opens in Amsterdam's business district. Information: citizenmamsterdamairport.com (Internet-only reservations), private rooms from $90. -- Gisela Williams
Living Lounge Hostel
The setup: A chandelier constructed from crystal shot glasses, a century-old barber's chair reinvented as a chaise, a dining table that gets hoisted to the ceiling to make room for dancing. These are but a few of the surprising furnishings at Living Lounge, in the Baixa section of Lisbon, a new 23-room hostel owned and operated by four design-minded friends: a painter, an architect and two photographers.
Sleeping arrangements: Seventeen artists were each given a space or two to transform, ensuring that none of the rooms are even remotely alike. Take the dorm decorated by graffiti artist Dirty Cop: The walls are painted with black trees evocative of Edgar Allan Poe. Regardless of where you slumber -- one of the 4 singles, 12 doubles, or 7 dorms -- you'll have to shower in the shared bathrooms on each floor.
The 'hood: Living Lounge is in a quiet corner of the historic business and shopping district, where the cobblestoned streets are named after the craftsmen who first set up shop here in the 18th century. The local look is neoclassical, from the National Theater of Dona Maria II to the dozens of pastry shops that sell trouxas de ovos, thick crepes drizzled with syrup.
Unexpected extras: "Our friends want to come over for dinner every night," says part owner Inês Caetano. She's talking about the 8:30 p.m. meal served in the dining room -- a four-course feast for $10.
