I walked up to the first available clerk at 8:30pm. There was no line at the Front Desk. We exchanged pleasantries and he said I would be checking into a Bella Suite. I gave him the "sandwich" and kindly asked "Do you have any complimentary upgrades?" He smiled and started clicking away at his computer, then he called a manager on his phone to discuss something. When he finished, he said he could upgrade me to a 30th Floor room with a view of the strip. I thanked him and he said he would also be giving me free wi-fi while waiving my $25 a day resort fee (a $125 savings) and I could still use the gym. He then handed me a coupon book and said it was the best coupon book out of 3 they hand out. (This one was for gold members.) I saved 20% on several meals or got free food using those coupons. The "sandwich" works but I recommend being nice from the moment you arrive at the Front Desk. (Being genuinely nice is even better!) They don't have to give you anything so being rude will most likely get you nothing.
Went for Final Four for the NCAA tournament. Got to the check in line at 9:30 pm and was bit of a wait so I did not have a choice on which clerk to go to. I usually always do $20 sandwich to get to a bella suite, but wanted to try a $100 this time. Got called over to a young female clerk and had it all ready. When I gave her the sandwich, I asked her if there was anything bigger then the Bella suite. She just asked me if I have ever stayed in the Sienna suite before. Told her no and that was it :)
Had a super early flight from the east coast arriving Friday morning at Palazzo probably around 10am. I was immediately called up to the front desk to check in. I do believe every rep at the desk was female and I was called over by a cute, young, brunette with a friendly smile. Gave her my "$20 sandwich" which she could obviously feel the difference and immediately placed it on the counter. Read off my reservation of a Bella Suite with 2 queen beds. They were showing that I was there for my Bachelor Party, which she congratulated me on. I then casually asked if there were any upgrades available, specifically the Lago 2 bedroom, since I had 4 other friends in my group. She typed away, letting me know that she did have those rooms available, but had to get permission from the manager. She came back to the desk about 3 minutes later with a happy look on her face as she told me I could get the room since it was my Bachelor Party weekend, plus being military I think it helped too. She also gave me a huge coupon book, discounted passes to TAO and some complimentary drink vouchers. As we were wrapping up, she asked if I needed change when she saw the $20. I smiled and said no. She smiled right back and thanked me, letting me know if I needed anything else just to call and ask for her. Since this is getting long, I will just say that I couldn't believe how easy it was to get the upgrade. I probably didn't even have to use the "sandwich." Just ask, and you shall receive. Oh, and by the way, the Lago 2-bedroom was INSANE. 48th floor. Didn't see anyone else on our floor the entire 4 days. Massive bedrooms, bathrooms, walk-in closets. More than you actually need, but definitely worth it when you're in Vegas!!!
I did not target a particular clerk but got lucky and wasn't flanked by other guests. It made it easier to chit chat. I had two twenties clearly visible (depending on the upgrade she could score me, I was going to tip accordingly). I did not do the sandwich. I asked if she had any upgrades, she offered the luxury view suite with a view of the Pirates show across the street. This means you need to be mid hotel, any higher and you won't see a thing. I don't like being high up so mid height was a-ok with me. I did ask for a roomier suite, but she told me she'd have to charge for that.
I wanted a female because I heard it was a better chance but was not able to choose. I lucked big time because I read here before and went and it seemed that most people were given like a better view. I checked in Saturday around 6:30pm. It wasn't busy at all. It took like half an hour but so worth it. I didn't say a word.
It worked great at Palazzo for three rooms, two nights, with $20. I had originally booked just the King luxury suites from Priceline. When I checked in, I requested two beds since we had 3 in each room and saved $160. I also asked about the Lago (penthouse style) suites, but would have still had to pay although at 30% off.
I just took the first clerk to be ready on Friday around 10 pm. I think that if you check in earlier, you'll probably get a better selection of rooms, but I was still very happy with my results. I did the whole complimentary upgrade thing and then started talking about being there for a bachelor party.
I think the trick is to know what you want and look at what other people have gotten as well. I've only seen one review where someone got a Lago so I was fairly sure that wouldn't happen, but can't hurt to ask either. :)
We arrived at 8:30 on a Tuesday and there was one person behind the desk helping someone else. K---h walked up to the counter and called us over. He asked my my credit card and I handed him the sandwich. He asked me "do you need change?" to which I responded "No. Do you have any upgrades available?" He checked the computer and said "we have a Lago available, let me check with my manager." He returned and offered it to us for $500 more a night. When I said no, he checked us in to the original room and kept the $20 without any additional coupons. Very annoyed!
Was checking in after midnight. Walked up to the desk to the first person available Placed the twenty between my ID and Credit Card. Asked her if she had any complementary upgrades available and she saw the twenty and said "Why yes we do". She was very friendly and chatty the entire time. Got a beautiful room on the 41st floor with an amazing strip view. Totally worth the $20. Going again in April and plan to try again!
Never done this before, so I thought I'd give it a try. We were actually on a comp stay, so wasn't sure if it was going to work. Was happy with what I already had (cause it was free!)
Walked up after a long day with kids, airports, etc. And gave the clerk my $20, cc, and dl. Said we were glad to arrive, here for our anniversary, which we were, but about 2 weeks late. She automatically said, let me see if I can find an upgrade for you.
Ended up on the 31st floor, directly overlooking the pirate ship show at TI. Very cool room. Maybe we get that room anyway, but who knows. Vegas runs on money, and for her kindness and service, I was happy to give her $20.
Got the next available clerk at about 3pm. Gave the $20 sandwich and asked about available complimentary upgrades. He put us on a higher floor, with our teenage daughter with us, asked us if we wanted 2 queen beds (which costs extra on their website) and improve our view to face Las Vegas Blvd/TI/Fashion Mall
Went to the first available clerk, young sharp guy, about 3:30 PM. I told him it was a special birthday trip for the wife, (which it was), and asked if he could check if there were any complimentary upgrades available, while handing him a $20 sandwiched between my credit card and my drivers license. Very nice, gave us strip room, king bed and envelope with coupons including $25 Grazie club slot credit per person. (!)
I had an early flight and got to the Venetian around 730am. I have stayed in the Venetian many time and have had every room they offer but never stayed in the Palazzo. I reserved the rialto suite with a view which is nice because its about 1100sq ft and it suites my group well. I decided to tip, "sandwich", $50 just in case because i already had a nice room. I approached a young blond and she immediately noticed the tip and said i will see what i can do for u. She offered something a lil better but not what i wanted. My advice to anyone is research the hotel and get an idea about what kind of room you are looking for that way you can ask for it. i noticed a lot of people took whatever they can get, if you ask for better they will most likely give you it. After a short debate about the rooms available i told her i wanted to be moved to the Palazzo. She said she found a 2500sq ft suite on the third floor. I didnt want that, but then she mentioned it had an outdoor terrace which is 500sq ft and leads to the pool which is basically my backyard since it it also on the third floor. I gladly accepted and was very pleased. Room was huge! offered three beds and wet bar, plus jetted shower. The terrace was unbelievable, like something out of a magazine. I will always "sandwich" from now on !
We came in around 5pm on Thurs evening, and it was pretty busy, so I didn't get to choose a clerk. We got a young cute girl in the early-mid 20s. At first I just asked if there were any complimentary upgrades (queen beds instead of our king)..had my $50 sandwich...she says they are fully booked. I don't think she noticed, so I said it's we're here for a bachelorette party (true), pointed at the bride, she smiled...i pushed the sandwich closer...she noticed and took it, said thanks and asked me if I needed change. I said no, and kept smiling. We small talked and she said next time book the queens just in case I get stuck w/ the king. We got into the room--2 queens and amazing view of the strip...well worth it. And our one room still got 5 of us the $20 rate for the spa! I'll def use this again...
BecauseI had four nights comped, I wasn't sure the tip would work. I checked in about 10:30am. When asked for my ID and credit card, I included 20.00 dollars and asked for a complimentary upgrade. The clerk was very nice and asked if I wanted something near an elevator. I told her it did not matter...I would just like a really nice view. I was not disappointed.
No choice for clerk. This woman hooked us up with a Palazzo suite w/view! It was late afternoon on a Saturday. I just handed her the $20 sandwich and started talking about it being my birthday... she took care of the rest :)
First time to the Palazzo and ended up checking in on the Venetian side slightly after 11 pm. $50 sandwich, I asked if any room upgrades and/or spa passes were available. Clerk was very polite, did some typing and handed me two hotel keys and show tickets which were part of our package. I asked a second time about spa passes and she said they were no longer able to offer those. Handed back my credit card, ID and tip. Got to the room and found out we got a view suite. Was I supposed to tip a $20 when I got my $50 back? Didn't really know we got the upgrade until we walked in. Well, much thanks to the clerk who went the extra mile for us.
If you're staying at the Palazzo and think you might want to use the fitness center, pay the daily resort fee. It's $16 and 2 of you get in to the fitness center and you get internet in your room. A la carte, it's $40 per person/day to get into the spa and $13 for internet.
Check-in at 2:00pm. Tried the sandwich trick with a $50. Told her it was our 25th wedding anniversary (which was true) and asked if there was anything she could do for us. She told me she would gladly give us the deluxe view and that was all. She even gave back the money after I asked again. She told us they were having a spcial upgrade to a larger suite for an extra $50/nite. I finally agreed because it was our anniversary, and then she couldn't find any available. We got the standard suite with deluxe view on the 39th floor. It was all we needed. The room was spacious and clean. Since I was only paying $129/nite because I got a Grazie special, I can't complain. hotel was marvelous.
I went to the next available clerk and placed $70 between cc and dl and asked for the Lago Media room w/ pool table.
Immediately was told they cannot upgrade to that room due to the price and that people have been fired for doing it.
My friend and I checked in around noon and included a $20 bill with our credit card. The agent asked if we needed change but we told him that was for him. We asked for twin beds and a room as nice as possible.
We did receive a room with twin beds for the two nights we stayed there, this would have cost $30 per night so we did save some money. However, although this was technically an upgrade it was the same room type and no view was offered. We were on the 42nd floor.
We checked in on Sunday of Labor Day weekend with a $50 dollar sandwich. I don't think the girl behind the counter knew what to do with it. She made no attempt at an upgrade until asking, at which point we were moved to a Strip view suite. After pressing some more, we scored 5 days of spa passes, 2 entries to Madame Tussaud's, and an additional $15 in slot credit (we already had $35 from our package). Overall, the upgrade for the room would have been $210 over the 7 days + all the freebies = a pretty decent deal. I'm glad we pushed the clerk for more so that would be my tip for anyone attempting this. It can't hurt to ask...

Via NESN:
Women in bikinis add interest to anything. It looks like some pioneers are looking to build on that concept by starting up a bikini basketball league.
According to BikiniBasketball.com, the Bikini Basketball Association is coming soon.
Here's a brief snapshot of what we're looking at, via the website, which appears to be very much under construction -- perhaps like the league itself.
"The league is for Sexy Athletic Ladies from around the world. We have several teams already -- Atlanta Fleet Angels, Miami Spice, New York Knockouts, Hollywood Hotties, Orlando Lady Cats, L.A. Ice and Chicago Desire."
We're not sure about you guys, but the Miami Spice have the name of a champion who's destined to follow in the footsteps of the NBA team across town. In any event, though, we're looking at some tantalizing names.
The Bikini Basketball League or Bikini Basketball Association -- it's a bit unclear due to a discrepancy between the aforementioned website and the league's Twitter account -- is obviously looking to mimic the success of the Lingerie Football League, which appears to have actually done fairly well for itself. Then again, that assumption isn't based on any quantifiable evidence, but rather the eyeball test.
The league's Twitter account is already picking up steam, approaching the 10,000-follower mark as of Friday morning. That number will likely climb as more and more web-surfing males become aware of what's in the works.
According to the Miami New Times, the Spice are working hard to field a contender, with basketball skills also being a necessity.
"This is a competitive basketball league, so we are definitely looking for girls that can really play. It is also a bikini league in which the girls will be playing basketball in bikinis, so looking good in a bikini is a must," Miami Spice reps reportedly said, adding that "personality, the ability to work with a team, competitiveness, people skills, endurance, drive, and dependability" are also desired qualities.
For those looking to take things a step further and get involved, you're in luck. The website also offers up this tidbit of information.
"If you are interested in being involved (Players, Owners, Coaches, Sponsors, Photographers, Editors,) Contact us on Twitter or by Email firstname.lastname@example.com."
See you all there.

and people would want to see a bunch of fat smelly wh*res running around why?
Wow, people sure do misuse capitalism and freedom to such a perverted and immoral degree. They think just because they are not raping people or molesting children, or beating someone up , that it's ok to just show off your half naked body in a sport simply because you are greedy and feministic? I mean you wonder why the world has so many problems and dysfunctionalism in relationships and marriage? You wonder why people act the way they do and turn to homosexuality, perversion and violence? Wow nothing surprises me anymore..bikini basketball, just another exploitation which makes money and brainwashes kids growing up to think this is acceptable and normal, when it is clearly not. And it is very degrading to women no matter what, just like the porn industry is.
They don't have to be playboy bunnies mind you, but please, no 6'8" - 365 lb'ers either. Athletic is one requirement. Just don't want part freshman high school squad and part Globe Trotters. I want real, strap'em down, ladies basketball. I wish them the very best of luck and many years of operations.
This is a disgrace to the WNBA, and all women in it who are trying to follow their dreams without objectifying themselves. I pity any women who wants to join this league instead of displaying their talents in the WNBA. I would be extremely upset and disgusted if I was Lauren Jackson, Tamika Catchings, or Diana Taursi. Why don't we have the men play basketball in thongs while we're at it?
Why to undo years of fighting for equality.
I meant way to undo
It will prove to be a waste of TELEVISED air time!
This league will eclipse the WNBA in a few years. You will actually have people (men) in the stands. Nobody wants to watch junior high quality basketball played by women dressed like men.
Is this what for real? Will they treat it like regular sports with scores and highlight footage?
I hope they don't go down the same road and the lingerie football league and make all of the games PPV. With bikinis, there is a good chance of a wardrobe malfunction, and I for one, don't wanna miss that. LOL.
Funny about some comments..... Fact of the matter is if u dont like it dont watch it. Does not take a college education to figure it out..... LOL

But Mother Nature has provided plenty to keep local farmers happy so far this rainy season — roughly November to May — and has packed more than usual away for the summer months.
As of Thursday, Jan. 3, Tracy had received 6.18 inches of rain since July 1, according to a rain gauge on the roof of the Tracy Press at A and 10th streets downtown.
That compares to 1.6 inches at this point last season, and a total of 4.61 inches between July 2011 and June 2012.
Normally, there's enough local rain that farmers don't have to water until well into March, though dry conditions in 2012 meant many farmers in the Tracy area irrigated fields as early as January.
David Weisenberger, general manager of the Banta Carbona Irrigation District since 1997, said on Wednesday, Jan. 2, that he hadn't had one request for water since Veterans Day.
"I haven't heard anything, which means things are good," he said.
Early reports from the Sierra Nevada are also encouraging.
Electronic and manual readings taken by the Department of Water Resources on Wednesday at Echo Summit south of Lake Tahoe show the snowpack is at 134 percent of normal.
The department measures the snow by weight for its water content, rather than simple depth. The snowpack holds water until later in the year, when it melts and fills rivers and reservoirs.
A year earlier, the snowpack was 19 percent of its to-date average — one of the driest seasons on record.
The better-than-typical reading is good news for farmers east of Tracy who rely on water from rivers that drain into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, farmers to the north who rely on the Delta itself, and farmers south and west who use water pumped from the Delta via the Delta-Mendota Canal.
Bill Harrison is general manager of the Del Puerto Water District, which provides water for about 45,000 acres of farmland south of Tracy.
He's pleased with the large snowpack but is uncertain what it means for local growers.
"It's a good start to a good water year," Harrison said. "We're hoping that it continues, and we're hoping to take advantage of good precipitation for farmers over here on the West Side (of the San Joaquin Valley). At the same time, we continue to have concerns about constraints to our water supply."
Many farmers who rely on water from the Delta-Mendota Canal typically receive less than 100 percent of what their contracts call for, even in normal rainfall years.
Harrison said the Del Puerto and other Delta-Mendota-dependent districts received only 40 percent of their allocated water last year, thanks largely to a lack of rain and snow.
But environmental restrictions on how much water can be taken from the Delta also crimp the supply of farmers who rely on the canal. For nearly two decades, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has sought to protect the Delta smelt, a small endangered fish that scientists say is an indicator of the overall health of the Delta.
Harrison said those restrictions could present challenges to some farmers even if the weather remains wet.
"I think we'll be surprised, given how wet we're starting out ... how little (allocations) will turn out, given the constraints that are in place," Harrison said.
And, cautioned Wiesenberger, there's no guarantee the rain season will finish as it began.
"It's a great start, but if things shut off now, the whole world changes over the next two or three months," he said. "Let's just hope things keep going."

Let's begin the journey from the streets of Delhi with Deeba Rajpal. Now, Deeba, who has a gorgeous blog at Passionate about Baking, needs no introduction of her work. A Delhi-ite, mom blogger, and from-scratch baker, she is one of my dearest friends and a blogger I have much respect for.
She was my first friend and mentor in the food blogging world. I will never forget her encouraging and thoughtfully supportive mails when I went through patches of self-doubt and her generosity in celebrating my successes. I am much honored to kick off this Birthday series with a full bodied yet subtle flavored chaat from her! :-))

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Cupcake Vineyards work hard to craft the richest, smoothest and elegantly-textured wines. This full-bodied yet smooth Merlot displays supple tannins with flavors of red cherries that evolve into decadent levels of cocoa and espresso and a smooth finish. This wine is reminiscent of that chocolate cherry cupcake.
At Cupcake Vineyards, our goal is to craft the richest, smoothest and most elegantly textured wines. To ensure this, we select our grapes from vineyards that are truly expressive of the varietals that we grow. Our Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot come from California"s sun-drenched Central Coast, where the distinctive topography and climate moderated by the Pacific Ocean...Read More About Cupcake Vineyards

The BMC Racing Team successfully protected the overall lead of Mathias Frank for the second straight day Wednesday at the Tour de Suisse while another one of the top contenders crashed out of the race.
'A Lot of Action'
Frank said he there were a few nervous moments during the 178.4-kilometer stage that ended in a bunch sprint won by Alexander Kristoff (Katusha Team) ahead of Peter Sagan (Cannondale Pro Cycling). World road champion Philippe Gilbert was the BMC Racing Team's best finisher in 13th. "At the end, there was a lot of action, a lot of fighting going on," Frank said. "There were one or two situations where I wasn't in the best position. But 99 percent of the day went well and the team did a great job. Having a team around you like this is perfect. I didn't lose any time, so at the end it was a good day." Frank still leads Roman Kreuziger (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) by 23 seconds and Rui Costa (Movistar Team) by 35. But Costa's teammate, Giovanni Visconti – who had been fourth – crashed and could not continue. On Monday's Stage 3, 2012 Giro d'Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal also crashed and had to leave the race. "You have to be attentive from beginning to the end," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said. "We have to progress like we do in the Tour de France – day-by-day – and to protect Mathias and Tejay van Garderen and to come to the final time trial on Sunday in good position. I am confident in the team we have. Those guys know what to do. They have already done big tours. They are classic guys and climbers. So there's no reason to be nervous."
Listen to complete comments from Frank (English and German) and Lelangue on the BMC Racing Team Audio Line.

About Me Quality Oriented
What a great keepsake from this awesome show. The sign is made of tin and perfect for hanging on a wall or over a door. The color actually looks a bit more vintage than the advertised picture suggests, which was a plus for me. Overall, I definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Friday Night Lights.

My daughter loves it and so do I, worth every penny. includes a suncover, raincover and enough storage space for all our bits and bobs. The inbuilt suspension really works a treat we have been out for full days at the zoo and didnt have any back ache *****
This carrier distributes weight really well between the hips and shoulders. I did a 5.5 mile hike over moderate terrain with my daughter (20 months) and felt like I could have carried on all day. I'm quite prone to discomfort if there's too much pressure on the shoulders but I was absolutely fine. The carrier is not cheap but, as far as I'm concerned, well worth the money.
Great product, comfortable for you and baby and easy to use. My son loved it, and you can clip toys to the loops near him as well. This model the pinnacle is top of the range and comes with everything you need for getting out and about. My son is now 8 months and we should get plenty of use from this until he is 4.

Chess is played on a square board of eight rows (called ranks and denoted with numbers 1 to 8) and eight columns (called files and denoted with letters a to h) of squares. The colors of the 64 squares alternate and are referred to as "light squares" and "dark squares". The chessboard is placed with a light square at the right-hand end of the rank nearest to each player, and the pieces are set out as shown in the diagram, with each queen on its own color. The pieces are divided, by convention, into white and black sets. The players are referred to as "White" and "Black", and each begins the game with 16 pieces of the specified color. These consist of one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns.

|Lake Erie Monsters - 1 Center Ice - Cleveland, OH - 44115-4001 - (216) 420-0000 - Family of Companies
Pink the Rink Splash PageTweet
One of the most popular promotions on the schedule every season, Cleveland's Lake Erie Monsters will be hosting their fourth annual "Pink the Rink" game this Saturday, March 24th, when they face the Toronto Marlies at 7:30 p.m. The Monsters and Kaiser Permanente are teaming up to encourage fans to join in their efforts to promote cancer awareness and support programs. A portion of the night's proceeds will benefit North Coast Health Ministry (on behalf of Kaiser Permanente) and Stewart's Caring Place of Akron.
As in every year for Pink the Rink, the team will be wearing unique pink jerseys, which will be auctioned off at the game in a silent auction. There will also be other items available for bid in the auction, including the opportunity to shave defenseman Barry Goers' head after the game, as well as receive his game-worn pink jersey.
New this year, there will be two large pink ribbons painted into the ice!
There will also be a large banner on the concourse that – for a $1 per name donation - fans will be able to write the names of loved ones on that they wish to honor that have been affected by cancer. All donations collected through the banner signing will go back to North Coast Health Ministry and Stewart's Caring Place. Everyone that donates will also receive a pink glow necklace (while supplies last).
In keeping with the theme of the night, fans will be able to enjoy pink food and drink options at select concessions stands, such as: strawberry blonde ice cream; pink lemonade; pink cotton candy; banana split Dippin' Dots; pink desserts; and Pink the drink libations.
"We are proud to partner with the Monsters on this fun, yet important event to help save lives," said Audra Kessler, Director Corporate Communications for Kaiser Permanente, noting that at the game, cancer survivors and their loved ones from Kaiser Permanente and throughout the arena will be recognized.
