I know my limits. Jumping out of a plane, bungee jumping from a bridge, crossing the Atlantic or Pacific in a small boat or running a marathon are not even remotely on my bucket list. That said, it's invigorating to try new and adventurous activities at any age, to keep your mind and body fit, flexible, and to constantly look for new challenges.
I watched all the kids take turns, some shimmying up with relative ease, others powering through the tough climb. I watched, inspired, by their limber, lean bodies, equally strong and flexible, find their route up the rock.
I debated whether or not to try. It was a beautiful day, the group's mood was buoyant and I felt completely comfortable and secure with the Belayer. I had tried rock climbing once, before kids, in Joshua Tree in the mid-nineties. It was a magical experience but sadly all documentation was lost as I somehow left my camera there. For the last twenty years I've retained the memory of that climb, but never felt inclined to seek out a rock climbing adventure beyond some boulder scrambling when hiking.
My husband took a go and having once climbed quite a bit he made it to the top with great effort (and serious soreness the next few days). Would it be an epic fail if I tried? Would I be felled by age, fears and years lugging kids and gear around? I decided to try, with little pressure on myself to "succeed." I just wanted to enjoy the experience.
It takes a ton of courage, core strength and flexibility, and immediately my calf started cramping and I remembered what a full body workout climbing can be. I teach and practice yoga—there is a lot of crossover—but add a slight fear of heights and a seemingly difficult rock and I was happy with only making it a bit of the way up. I certainly enjoyed the rappelling down and of course documenting this special adventure!]]>
The trail opened this Spring and the tunnels have been open for a while longer. The trail is where Highway 1 used to treacherously wind around the mountain. I used to try to catch a glimpse of the view while driving but with my hands stuck to the steering wheel and eyes glued to the road the most important task was to negotiate the twists and turns as the drop-off was and is steep and impressive.
The short one-plus mile trail, with restrooms and parking lots on either side, is a delicious hiking appetizer for strollers, amblers, scooters and all levels of hikers. I'm taking my mom who is visiting from NYC this week. She loves to walk, but some of the hiking I enjoy might not be her speed. The path is newly paved, benches are strategically placed and viewing stations are at the best spots.
These Seuss-like plants were in bloom last time and the flora and fauna make it a magical journey. Bring a thermos, pack a lunch or just tack it on at the beginning or end of a coastal adventure. Bring wind wear, hats and even gloves in summer—just in case! Parking is limited on weekends and holidays and crossing the highway (if the parking lots are full) is a dangerous undertaking, so be careful. There is a free weekend shuttle bus from Pacifica and a Samtrans bus #17. It is not a get away from it all, back to nature Bay Area hike, but a very do-able walk with arresting views of the ocean and cliffs.]]>
An easy place to put in is at Nick's Cove, Miller County Park boat launch in the hamlet of Marshall. One great benefit here is the chance to get a good meal before you go or a celebratory beverage after you return at the bar and restaurant that bears the cove's name. Even better, rent one of the cottages on the premises and spend the night, waking to the sound of bay waters lapping on the pilings.
Nick's Cove Restaurant and Oyster Bar takes you back in time without old-fashioned discomforts. Once a hunter's hangout, the bar still sports trophy heads on the dark wood walls, and true to the place's history, the menu emphasizes seafood with, naturally, lots of oysters. It also emphasizes sustainability, sourcing many of its offerings in California Cuisine from the bounty of West Marin.
To experience bioluminescence on the bay the easy way, sign up for a guided excursion with Point Reyes Outdoors or Blue Waters Kayaking. They'll set you up to launch at sunset for a paddle across the bay, a stop for refreshments, and a return under a star-laden sky mirrored by swirls of light as you move through the water. It's a magical experience creating subtle light shows as you paddle, trailing stars in your wake.]]>
As a rule I tend to avoid tourist hotspots, but sometimes it is fun to be a tourist in your own city. On a recent #OrangeFriday, (when San Francisco Giants players wear orange jerseys and fans do the same on Fridays during the season) I escorted two 10-year-old baseball fans on a Duck Boat Tour to McCovey Cove. The small cove next to the ballpark hosts a multitude of kayakers, paddle boarders and cocktail cruisers, and we were going to join them on a land- and sea-worthy Duck Boat.
We boarded the bus/boat at Fisherman's Wharf all bundled up for the three-hour tour. I would recommend eating before or bringing a very portable picnic on the ride. The open air Duck Boat, based on the famous World War II amphibious design, was a fun way to travel and the kitschy mood on board was infectious. The driver was cheeky and cheesy but all in all he was quite entertaining.
We drove through North Beach and Chinatown, the Financial District and some of SOMA, till we plunged into the Bay, adding a Coast Guard trained guy to assist the one-man crew. It was a beautifully clear, warm night and as the sun set, the orange light twinkled on the Bay. The captain let the boys drive in the water and peppered the crowd with historical and amusing tidbits about the city. He was a one-man band, often cutting away to an appropriate tune: Otis Redding's classic, Janis Joplin and other San Francisco inspired songs.
We passed docked navy vessels and caught sight of a lounging sea lion on one of the propellers. Once in the cove, we tuned in to the Giants game. About halfway into the adventure my son had to pee, given the super-sized soda that he had drunk. With no restroom on board, I was cursing my agreement to the treat. Just then, when we had agreed he could hold it or the alternative was to pee in a cup, a kayaker paddled over and asked my son if he knew who "Panda" was. Pablo Sandoval is the Giants Venezuelan-born third baseman and one of my son's favorites. This generous kayaker gave my son a batting practice ball Panda had hit into the water, and that was the cherry on top of a fun evening!
The last surviving WWI veterans have passed, and a number of wars have come and gone in the wake of what was, at the time, just called "The World War." Europe is gearing up to commemorate the deadly conflict, a tightrope walk for sure, without opening up new wounds. Lessons from such a devastating global event reverberate today.
I remember studying WWI in school, and being horrified and fascinated by trench warfare. The mannered etiquette mixed with the cataclysmic horror, the maiming and the sheer destruction following the festive, opulent Belle Époque period was all so incomprehensible. So, when my High School freshman came home talking about the subject, I was pleased that we could really dig into modern history topics, particularly this 100th anniversary year.
I lived in Northern France, near the Belgian border for a time, once a hotbed of battle, in a war where more than nine million combatants were killed. Many returned from WWI with what was then called "shell shock" and the atrocious results of mustard gas. Today, PTSD is rampant and the world is still trying to rid the globe of the poisonous gases that destroyed so many lives from 1914-1918. Many wars have followed what was to be The War to End all Wars and I want my son to understand the complex timeline that has led us to an era when war, and its aftermath, seem so commonplace.
My interest in WWI history evolved out of the still acute wounds from Vietnam, which were palpable when I was in school. Now, my son will learn about the antiquated trench warfare through the lens of 9/11, IED's, and "the Surge." I hope his inspiring teacher, and the subject, move him in a way that informs his future realities. This centennial anniversary may garner few headlines in the U.S., but perhaps looking back will help us move forward and forestall more carnage.
If you would like to visit battlefields or take part in commemorations, here are a few tips: The UK is home to many exhibits and events; 1914.org is a good place to start if you are planning a trip across the pond.
Major battlefield areas are often visited by pilgrims and tourists. Visiting western front battlefields along the 450 or so miles from the Belgian coast, through Flanders to the French border will surely be heavily trafficked this summer.
Throughout the major battle areas, memorials, museums, military cemeteries and battlefield remains can be visited. Many of these are public sites and accessible by foot or wheelchair. Some privately managed museums or battlefield sites have limited opening hours and may charge an entrance fee. The Ypres Salient in Belgium, and the Somme and Verdun battlefields in France are some of the busiest. There are public museums, hotels to suit all budgets, restaurants and well-marked battlefield routes.
Among the many commemorations and events, every household in Britain will be asked to turn out the lights at 11 p.m. on August 4, 2014 to mark the centenary of the First World War. If you are planning a trip to Europe this summer, you may want to be up to date on all that is planned.]]>
Later, when I became a parent, I started packing lunches to save money, because I was unwilling to spend top dollar on crappy food, on top of the skyrocketing museum entrance fees. As my kids have grown, and museums have become more accessible again, I am pleasantly surprised by a renaissance in museum cafes. Gone are many of the gross cafeteria-style money pits and instead, some quite lovely cafes with Old World charm and even eateries with hip, family friendly fare have sprouted up.
A recent trip to MOMA in NYC found me starving, with precious little time to siphon off from my museum visit. I sat at a counter seat at the packed cafe and ate a salad alone, next to some other solo museum visitors. I took my mom, who still lives in New York, to the Neue Galerie, a delightful small Austro/German museum near the Met. I often go just to see a few Klimt paintings I love, and this time we had lunch at the Café Fledermaus, located on the lower level of the museum. Upstairs, the Cafe Sabarsky is also a treat.
Both offer Viennese style food and décor with an emphasis on the pastries, such as strudel and linzertorte! We had yummy sausages, salad and some decadent coffee and cakes. From the art to the cafe, it felt like one sweeping trip through turn of the century Vienna.
In San Francisco, the de Young Museum and the Legion of Honor both have stylish cafes worth a visit. Both have open-air seating, European charm and better fare than I remember. An outing to the Legion of Honor is never complete without visiting one of my favorite paintings: Jean-Léon Gérôme, The Bath, ca. 1880-85. Even if you just go for coffee and cake mid-afternoon, the cafe is a treat and a welcome rest spot. Kids look forward to an afternoon snack and find a trip to the cafe fun. Set on the coast with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, it's a great spot for a before or after museum walk on the Lands End path along the cliffs.
Across the Bay in the Oakland Hills a different kind of museum, the Chabot Space and Science Center, has just unveiled a new and improved family friendly food option.
The playful menu, cute item names, creative signage and chic look, make this new addition to two Bay Area learning hotspots a hit with kids and caregivers alike. There is the brand new Chabot Bean Sprouts and also the Bay Area Discovery Museum Bean Sprouts cafe. Moms and dads will love the coffee bar and affordable, enticing, whimsical fare.
My ten-year-old tucked into some "itsy bitsy biters" and "do-re-for-mi" piano key sunflower butter and jam sandwiches. The form is playful and the ingredients mostly organic, GMO free and the entire cafe is nut-free, hence the sunflower-butter finger sammys. When I interviewed one of the founders, Shannon Seip, a Madison Wisconsin mom, she mentioned that even the "ebony" keys on the piano sandwich were meant to introduce pumpernickel or dark rye bread to little taste buds. The mission of Bean Sprouts, a growing business that includes birthday parties and catering and cooking classes, is to:
Spark kids' appetites with yummy, good-for-you food; and delight grown-ups with a happier mealtime.
The genesis for the idea came when Seip had two young, active boys and found dining out to be a minefield of poor choices (cue chicken nuggets, mac 'n' cheese and pizza) and a nightmare to negotiate with wiggly kids. She wanted to address the plight of picky eaters as well as the diet challenged, while creating a fun ambiance that parents would also enjoy, minus the "GERMnasium" additions of some fast food kids spots. She and her partner wanted to create a place where kids could feel catered to and empowered, and parents could relax.
The service counter is kid level, enabling kids to look at the picture menu and order like a grown up. From healthy smoothies with a hint of quinoa to thicken them, to a size appropriate cake pop treat that doesn't break the sweet bank, the menu is rich and entertaining. With cheeky items like "crocamole" (a crocodile guacamole) and "chic choc" (a fondue of sorts with a nutella type chocolate dip made with chickpeas) little hands will have plenty to keep them occupied. I found the food tasty and filling without the grotesque supersize portions Americans have come to expect.
Bean Sprouts is on a tear and it sounds like they have many potential new locations in their future. So whether you are looking to take the kids for a day of culture and learning or are planning an adult museum visit, you just might be happily surprised by some of the new food options in museums, galleries and art, tech, and science spaces these days!]]>
With the thousands, if not tens of thousands, of travel blogs active in 2014, it's hard for many people to remember a time before they existed. But that wasn't so long ago. Twenty years, in fact. On January 6, 1994, Jeff Greenwald uploaded the first from-the-field travel post to the Global Network Navigator (GNN) developed by O'Reilly Media (O'Reilly & Associates at the time).
And the rest is history, as they say.
Check out Jeff's account of that time in a recent Wired piece, and track down a copy of The Size of the World, his excellent book about the around-the-world journey that prompted the book and his 19 "blog" dispatches.
Technologically, we've come a long way since then.]]>
Despite the disturbing lack of snow this year, Sugar Pine Point State Park, on Tahoe's West Shore and home to the 1960 Squaw Valley Winter Olympic Nordic Ski courses, was a great option to find pristine trails. More than 50 years ago, when the Olympics were less of a circus, the land that is now Sugar Pine Point State Park welcomed athletes from around the world, promoting international goodwill and the majesty of the sport.
Athletes raced over 35.4 miles of trail through the General and McKinney Creek areas. The stadium was a temporary facility and was removed soon after the closing ceremony, restoring the land to its natural state. But the Olympic sign still stands at the entrance to what is now a picnic area and campground.
I have my own gear which I have used for many years, but my friends rented their skis, poles and boots at Tahoe Dave's in Tahoe City. We packed a picnic and set off. Once out of the campground, we headed for a lovely bridge, enjoying the peace and quiet and the surprisingly good snow despite the dry winter. We had our lunch in the sunshine on the bridge, some sandwiches, carrots, hard-boiled eggs, clementines and Swedish fish, perhaps homage to the Swedes and other Scandinavians and Soviets who won in 1960.
There are a number of special events this January and February at the State Park including a full moon snowshoe tour and Olympic Heritage Celebration week January 11-19, 2014.
The State Park encompasses a lakeside area, home to Pine Lodge. Built in 1903 by Isaias Hellman, a San Francisco financier, it helped usher in the gilded age of Lake Tahoe. Sold in the mid sixties, it is now a part of the state park. After finishing our cross country tour, we took a walk at dusk by the lake, admiring the pink light and fullish moon as it rose.
After 5 days in the mountains and the hat trick of snowshoeing, cross country and downhill skiing (with a mini sledding attempt), I was fully satisfied with my winter wonderland adventure. How wonderful it would be to snowshoe or cross-country ski every day for an hour or so, but given the Polar Vortex hitting the rest of the country, I'm pretty happy, warm and cozy in the temperate Bay Area.
As an enthusiastic fan of the Winter Olympics, I've been gearing up, watching some Olympic trials on TV and catching up on some reading about the controversial Sochi locale. Triporati has a Sochi destination to explore if you too are an Olympic venue fan, and I can recommend a recent National Geographic article to flesh out some of the historical context and controversy surrounding the choice of Sochi.
Also, a recent documentary on the punk band Pussy Riot illuminated more of the back story leading up to the games. Amidst recent anti-gay, Greenpeace Arctic 30 detention and and other human rights questions, some have been calling for a boycott or protests, and the specter of terrorism has loomed in recent weeks.
Even so, the world will gather as it does every four years to celebrate sport and the spirit of global competition in a winter wonderland, and soon all eyes will be on Sochi, Russia.]]>
Alas, we had a fall getaway planned to the California Gold Country in the Sierra Foothills and I was looking for some fun things to do with the family that might diverge a bit from the frolicsome fall activities I had been enjoying. We have driven past Sonora on our way to the mountains, often heading that way in summer or winter. It was exciting to think about a weekend trip that didn't involve preparing food, camping or ski gear and with an open itinerary I could craft. I had a secret hope to see some changing leaves.
One of Triporati's Northern California destinations piqued my interest. Columbia State Historic Park sounded like it could be educational but I was a bit concerned about the cheez/kitch factor. With groans from the peanut gallery, we decided to give it a whirl on a perfect October day.
It was fantastic! My ten- and fourteen-year-olds had a blast and even my cynical husband was enchanted. The kids made candles, tried on hats and boots, bowled like pioneers, learned about blacksmithing and dental care in the 19th century and walked up an down the streets once used as a stage set for Little House on the Prairie. The Living History park had a lovely mix of historic authenticity and modern appeal without the overly earnest reenactment feel.
Talented musicians were dotted around the park and some costumes were worn by merchants and actors. Kids can pan for gold and you can ride a stage coach. My boys loved touring the old candy shoppe and each having a few bucks to spend. Sarsaparilla was the beverage of choice and after much prodding I convinced my family to dress for a Western bandito, old style black and white photo; this was the highlight of the weekend!
The park, parking and docent tours are free, many families bring picnics and treat themselves to ice cream, tea and cakes or candy.
Businesses and park exhibits are open year-round, seven days a week. Columbia also hosts several living history demonstrations, school programs, and special events throughout the year.
Following our successful Gold Rush town experience we decided to head to an apple orchard, the thinking (in lieu of a winery) was the boys could play catch, possibly pick apples, and we could do some hard cider tasting. We found our way to Indigeny Reserve, an artisanal hard cider distillery, on the forefront of a renaissance in the fermented alcoholic beverage.
Their chic new digs and beautiful old orchard got us excited as we drove down the windy road outside of Sonora. The tasting was jolly, with a mixture of diehard cider geeks and tourists just passing through. We got a behind-the-scenes distillery tour, tasted their apple brandy and shopped in the apple-centric gift shop. We actually had our picnic there and enjoyed the warm fall weather and munched on crisp apples having learned a bit about the area's orchards and apple growing history. My husband bought a big jug of cider to take home and was kicking himself later that he didn't buy more!
We stayed at the recently opened Black Oak Casino and Resort, near Sonora. The rooms were large and well appointed. My kids loved the giant wide-screen TV in the room given the World Series was in full swing. Like the Indigeny Reserve, local wood and crafts were used in construction and a commitment to share in the native bounty and to give back to the land was palpable. Not being a gambling family we opted instead for the pool, arcade and bowling, making a great comparison with the pioneer bowling lane from earlier in the day. The hotel is smoke-free, but the casino (even the smoke-free areas) are quite overpowering. The place was packed and I gotta say I was tempted to try my luck, but instead stuck with skee ball and arcade games.
Run by the Me-Wuk tribe, the casino, and now the resort, has brought employment and life to this gorgeous but economically depressed part of Tuolomne County and has helped to create healthcare centers for the tribe. A fine restaurant called Seven Sisters, named after the Matriarchs of the Tuolumne Me-Wuk Tribe, with floor-to-ceiling window views of the foothills, was a fun splurge after a long day of foothills fun. We ordered a cheese fondue to start, to get in the spirit of the mountains.
We often visit Yosemite and the Sierra but this trip was unique for our family of outdoors people. We enjoyed the Gold Rush towns of Jamestown and Sonora, ate far too much and were all surprised at how much fun we had. This area is a doable weekend trip from the Bay Area, but with heavy traffic and so much to see and do, two nights would be a minimum not to feel rushed. It's fun to plan a few things and then just explore…next time we hope to make it to Pinecrest Lake.]]>
It wouldn't be Italy if there wasn't a town square where everyone congregates in the mornings and evenings. Ponte di Legno's is known as September 27 Square (Piazza 27 Settembre) to commemorate a battle with the Austrians in 1917. The piazza straddles the River Oglio, literally. The river runs under the stone piazza, which joins both riverbanks in a seamless merger of cobbled lanes and shops. Outdoor cafes edge the central fountain and look out to the mountains dominating the horizon. We started all of our mornings there, being served every day (and in the evenings too) by the same reliable waiter. (He was always there. When did he sleep?)
Hiking's easy when you take a lift to the top of the mountain and walk down. We did this in Ponte di Legno with three generations of the family, from age 13 to 80. The hike started near the Rifugio Corno d'Aola and wound through deep forest back to the Valsozzine-Corno d'Aola chairlift for a swift ride back to town.
The next day we rented bicycles from the same area and followed the River Oglio toward the sea. The freshly paved bike path veered away from the road and meandered through horse and cow pastures, crossing and recrossing the river and keeping its distance from the road. The valley cut through forested ridges that rose to limestone peaks, a setting so beautiful it was hard to keep our eyes on the path ahead. An hour or two down the trail we pulled over for our rendezvous with the shuttle to drive us back to where we started, making it easy for everyone.
Despite living in Northern California, with some of the world's best river rafting, my girls had never been through the rapids, so we drove over Passo Tonale to Cusiano di Ossana to raft on the Noce River. I've rafted many times in many places and always the put-in point is in an eddy, but here we climbed aboard with our paddles in choppy waters threatening to drag the raft away before we got settled. The first few minutes of the Class III-IV river gave us a chance to get acclimated, and then we were into the thick of it.
We got shoved, walloped, buckled, and swamped, but 90 minutes later we were all smiling with the exhilaration. The girls wanted to do it again!
It's November now and winter is coming. Soon the snowy slopes will be full of skiers and boarders. I'd like to join them, but for now I'll have to be content with my Ponte di Legno summer experience. The area's a four-season place, and next time, with any luck, I'll be able to ski. When I return, the first place I'll go is Piazza 27 Settembre for a caffe macchiato. And maybe I'll be served by our same reliable waiter. Hope so.]]>

Nothing at all- poor services
The first time we got there at about 7.00 p.m., the bar was almost closing on the second day there was no one at the bar and it was only 8.00 p.m.
Free WIFI.
No Bar into the room No room service
That I had to ask for hypoallergenic pillows twice and only got one pillow
Location is good - Right besides Dupont Circle, lot of bar and restaurants around and 15 mn walk from the white house and Georgetown
The whole place is being refurbished (I stayed in end of October 2014) impacting guests massively. The breakfast in the morning is more a pic-nic than anything else, with guests sitting where they can (when they're lucky to find an available armchair/chair). The staff could not care less. Pretty disappointing. Also, the whole hotel is a bit old-fashionned overall, very dark and again the quality of the staff is very irregular.
I come here since 1994 and the senior staff is still the same. This tells you something! Very professional and nice personnel; comfortable rooms (value for money); reliable WIFI connection
Refurbishment while the hotel is open; therefore: Breakfast room is in no-daylight lobby But: With reopening in 2015, all the will come to an end
I enjoyed my stay at this hotel it was a great location for everything I needed, the staff were friendly and the rooms clean and comfy.
Only one small thing, I wish there had been a mini fridge in the room, so I could store milk and drink in it.
The room was clean and comfortable. The location for me was excellent.
There was a certain price announced with complimentary wifi but while checking in I was asked for additional surcharge for wifi and other expenses in addition to the taxes (which by going back to the print out I saw in small print). It was unwelcomed surprise. Also the breakfast restaurant wasn't working and they set up a place at the lobby which wasn't adequate at all.
That i had to pay extra for wifi even if i did not have a choice in the matter
The location was very good for us to use Metro and go see the sites. It also felt we were in safe neighborhood.
The elevators were very slow and only 1 worked. Breakfast was very limited. The cost of the room was very high for what we got. Room very small.
I feel that customers should not be charged for internet and long distance calls that they don't use or make. We were charged over $9.00 for internet and long distance even though we did not make any long distance calls because we have our cell phone or use their internet because internet is on our cell phone. What a rip off!!!
Great location by the metro. Many great restaurants in the Dupont circle area.
It would have been nice to have more items for breakfast buffet. Like eggs ad bacon.
We booked through booking.com, we arrived at 330pm, half hour after check-in. We went through two people who attempted to find our reservation. They questioned me if I had ever even booked the reservation. Finally they said they had a room for us, which I had paid for the superior king room and that's what they charged me for. Little did I know that they booked me in the queen, a room of lower value, but still charged me for the king size room. Finally got that straightened out. If you get hungry during your stay the only option for you is to order take-out and if you want something to drink don't count on getting bottled water from the ONE vending machine at the hotel. Just wish the hotel had better service. SO much potential.
you have to pay 50 dollars as caution in case you destroy their amazing fornitures: it's crazy!!! and I'm not sure they will give me the money back...I'll see...
Location was outstanding. Breakfast in lobby was convenient.
Took over 30 minutes to check in and close to 30 minutes to check out. Alarm clock in room went off at 5am because staff hadn't checked to make sure it was off. Room décor was worn and stained (lampshade, wallpaper, etc). TV was from the 1990s. COlleague's room had no hairdryer and when she called down to ask for one, no one brought one.
The free breakfast and fitness machines.
My room (313) was extremely small. It looked as if it was a larger room but was rehabbed to half it's size. I could see holes on the wall that were patched up poorly. The bed was against the wall and there was no desk or closet. Not worth the price of the room.
Nice roof terrace which was hardly used by residents. Staff excellent and seemed to go out of their way to help
breakfast was not kept re-filled
The location was perfect, great breakfast selection.
They were remodeling and the hallway floors were bare concrete, it was very dusty. Room should have been discounted to deal with that.
Of course the price was reasonable for the area.
The bottom of the bathroom door showed some wear. According to placard on the wall there was supposed to be an ice machine on the 5th floor but there was not. There was on the 3rd floor however and it worked good.
perfect location near subway, first class beds, very clean, nice and helpful staff
the price is much too high and the breakfast was rather ridiculous: hardly any choice of food and drinks (bread, bagels, butter, prefab cream cheese, prefab jam, prefab muffins, one juice, no eggs nor ham nor choice of cheeses ...watery coffee and tee) not enough space to sit, one way plastic plates, cups, spoons and knives like in a 50$ joint, elevators were not to trust (but there was construction work going on)
Good location Courteous staff
Doors have spaces underneath, so you hear everything going on in the hallways, adjoining rooms Elevator issues
Good continental breakfast
More expensive than I would have expected.
We arrived early to the hotel and they were very nice about holding our bags for the day. Our room was ready when we came back and despite the fact that they were going through a remodel- the only downside was a longer than usual wait at the elevator. Great location near metro and restaurants.
The seating was a little tight at breakfast- we could have used a few more tables.
Great position. Walking distance from Dupont Circle. Cleaned.
We couldn't sleep very well because of the noise in the room next to us. We complained with the staff but they didn't solve the problem. No windows in the bathroom.
The location was perfect though walking distance from DuPont Circle
They are doing rennovations so it was loud banging and construction during the day. They don't have room service or available water in the room. You're definitely on your own.
Helpful staff helping with bags etc Location is very good
Reception staff just incompetent. Key only programmed for two days not five. Took ages to check in, only one working, they only have two stations. Breakfast a laugh, 7am, but at 7.30 still putting out cereal etc, and no seats people were standing trying to eat. Business men in suits were complaining. I know they are renovating but could make more of an effort. Room not serviced one day. Also no glasses in room, asked for glasses for bathroom, was given wine glasses

If Alexis is still with PI by February sweeps I swear some fans will probably stop watching or just mute all the Alexis scenes
For five years people have been admiring this incredible talent that is Stana Katic. An actress who knows how to break hearts and penetrate souls with her acting skills. Making us feel a lot of different emotions. But still, this wonderful talent has not been recognized nor noticed by an award we all feel she deserves to have – an Emmy. So we give her our own 'Emmy' by showcasing scenes with Stana's most amazing acting skills in our opinion, and hope that someday she'll get the recognition which she so hugely deserves.

Living forever, Staying up late.
Being happy.
Becoming one.
Under Construction, i have peircings and tattoos, completely in love with body modification. im not complete, i make my own mistakes. You will never catch me without my snapback, 5'1. Always parying, im a rager and always fighting. I'ma bitch. Get over it.
Today is one of those days. I sit between these empty walls. It's a day by day thing. I thought that i was doing so good. I was so proud. I had finally stopped having thoughts about my addiction, my love, controller of my life, my heroin. People always say that after the 6month mark it only gets easier. I personally think that it is taking a toll on me, only because the beautiful wants to have me once again. I want the feeling to be invisible. I want to be powerful. I want to feel that needle going deep into my skin. I want to bite down one the tube contracting my veins. I see the tracks on my body going crazy. How do i fight this beast inside of me??

Time Out says:
Following a drama-filled December 2013—which included owner Carl McCoy's arrest in an alleged drug bust and the subsequent departure of the kitchen crew—acclaimed Williamsburg charmer Gwynnett St has been revamped as a cheekily named gastropub (Lachlan McIntosh killed Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence). At the helm is Allswell vet Alexis Krisel, who dispatches Gwynnett's famed whiskey bread, as well as her own originals, including fried ham-hock wontons, charred octopus with clementines, and pappardelle with guanciale and leeks. For drinks, find cocktails like the Wadsworth (gin, Luxardo Triplum, green chili, coriander) and the Mr. Pink (mescal, elderflower, absinthe, Cocchi Americano, pink peppercorn).
Eater says:
Restaurateur Carl McCoy recently turned his troubled restaurant Gwynnett St. into an affordable gastropub with a menu from Allswell vet Alexis Krisel. In addition to bar snacks and shareable plates, Lachlan serves hearty dishes like braised short ribs with polenta, gemelli pasta with mushrooms, and a fried chicken sandwich. So far, early diners are digging the new menu and the cocktail program.

Solières-Sardières, France:
Jens Voigt texted me one day after the Tour de France with these words: Wish I could see you hurting! Big smile! And so it was with our brief exchange that I made the reckless promise to climb the Madeleine Pass, one of the Tour's mythic climbs and part of the course in 2010. I'd do it "in honor of Jens," the peloton's aging strongman and Bicycling's rider diarist at this year's race.
Standing at 1,996 meters above sea level, the Madeleine Pass is feared firstly because of its length, as it climbs for more than 25 kilometers. For the Tour de France cyclist or a well-trained amateur, the Madeleine Pass is always respected. But for the over-geared, under-trained fitness cyclist that I have become, such an effort could be described simply as a little crazy.
So on Friday the 13th in August, I gathered with a small group of friends at the crossroads of La Lechere and we pondered the task at hand. Three weeks earlier, I had returned my Tour de France rental car. It was my 21st year reporting on the Tour and we'd racked up some milage. "6,500 kilometers. Not bad," the rental car agent at Avis told me as I handed him the keys in Paris. "Not bad?" I thought to myself. "Too bad all those kilometers were spent behind the wheel of my Volvo station wagon and none were spent riding."
But covering the Tour carries with it this one notable paradox: while reporting on some of the world's most fit athletes, riding at the peak of their condition on some of the most glorious roads and mountain passes in the world, you yourself are losing condition and gaining weight with each day's stage.

The Plea for a Plus-Size Princess, Shirtless David Beckham and Rachel Zoe Cancels NYFW
A high school student has petitioned Disney for a change in Princess policy and more of the day's top stories
Instead of worrying about prom or cramming for exams, Jewel Moore, a high school junior from Virginia has taken the Disney company to task for its unrealistic portrayal of women. Oh, and she wants them to get cracking on bringing a "plus-size female protagonist who is as bright, amazing and memorable as their others" into the mix. Want to help the cause? Sign the petition (and share or Tweet this blog so all your friends can, too). [Change.org]
online, and at a SoHo boutique they hope to open in April, the line "is an extension of the pair's own collective fashion experience, which includes summers spent in Nantucket searching for the consummate sweater; scouring Tokyo or other exotic locales for inspiration." [Style]
While the Seahawks were busy trouncing the Broncos at yesterday's Super Bowl, the ads, at least, kept home audiences entertained. And, when it came to capturing the female component, H&M won the spread by showcasing a shirtless David Beckham. Easy score? Sure. Did that make it any less fun to watch? Heck to the NO.

We have heard over the past several weeks that the Baltimore Ravens intend to retain the services of Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice. As of this moment however they aren't showing it.
Multiple reports — including those from ProFootballTalk.com and NFL Network's Jason La Canfora — indicate that the Ravens have had no significant talks with Rice on a new contract at this time and have instead been focusing their attention on extending the contract of quarterback Joe Flacco, who will become a free agent in 2013.
Iit is also reported that Rice would be "very unhappy" should a franchise tag be applied to him and in particular if this were to happen without serious contract talks resulting in a top of the line long term deal. This is leading to speculation that the possibility of Rice moving onto another team for the right deal isn't out of the question contrary to popular belief.
One team who would make alot of sense would be the New England Patriots. The Patriots have two first-round picks this year and could comfortably trade them both for a player of Rice's talent as both picks are late in the first-round.
The other team who I believe could make a big play for Rice would be the Green Bay Packers. To them it would be well worth giving up the 28th pick in the draft along with their first-round pick in next year's draft. A running back like Rice, when added to their arsenal of offensive weapons, would provide the missing link that could turn this juggernaut team into a dynasty not seen since the original Patriots run of the early 2000s.
Whatever the case, this is a story to watch. As the pressure mounts on the Ravens to give Rice the deal he wants, you will hear more about the possibility of the Pro Bowl running back moving on. If they want to keep Ray Rice, the Baltimore Ravens must put their attention to his contract before doing anything else. To lose such an important piece could cripple the Ravens for years to come.

|Total (w/tax)
Book Description:
Speaking of Hillary is a balanced gathering of the best writing on Hillary Rodham Clinton. It includes well-established experts on public policy and the Clinton administration, as well as voices from unexpected and nonpolitical quarters. Several biographies of Mrs. Clinton exist, ranging in tone from very critical to fawning. Likewise, there are literally thousands of articles and essays exploring particular facets of her life, personality and actions. There has not been one source, however, that combines the depth of a biography with the convenience of an essay. Speaking of Hillary not only provides biographical background on Mrs. Clinton but also collects different views about what makes her interesting (or infuriating) to a broad array of people. Among the admirers, detractors and neutral observers brought together in this thought-provoking collection are many of the nation's leading cultural commentators, including Ellen Goodman, Maureen Dowd, Walter Shapiro, Barbara Ehrenreich, Pat Shroeder, Gore Vidal, Camille Paglia, Jean Houston, Joe Klein, Christopher Hitchens and Wendy Wasserstein. Readers will come away from the book knowing more of the facts of Mrs. Clinton's life, her personal story, her religious faith and the conflicts surrounding her. Most importantly, though, Mrs. Clinton is revealed as a complicated individual with great passion and many opinions rather than a black-and-white caricature of good or evil, as she is often portrayed. Since well before the 1992 elections, Hillary Rodham Clinton has caused both inspiration and despair for both liberals and conservatives. She is among the most beloved and despised of current public figures. Speaking of Hillary will be released during Mrs. Clinton's campaign for the New York senate seat, when the media will be focused intensely on her it is perfectly timed to grab the attention of a huge audience of readers with an unquenchable thirst for information about the First Lady.

GCSE Toolkit: For Richer and Poorer? A study of uneven development
Series Editor: Ruth Totterdell and Justin Woolliscroft
Key Stage: Key Stage 4
Pages: 36
Published: 2010
£17.99 / £12.99 GA Members*
The study of uneven development – the disparities in global development and the distribution of resources – is of vital importance and interest to young people, who are often outraged by extreme examples of 'winners' and 'losers'. It also presents particular challenges to geography teachers, who need to reconcile students' indignation with a balanced investigation of the reasons for these disparities, how they are measured and the changing terminology. Thinking in terms of a global North-South divide and of 'less' and 'more' developed countries is no longer adequate: spatial inequality is much more complex than that.
For Richer and Poorer? is designed to help teachers update their knowledge and resources of uneven development. It supports a rigorous 'living geography' approach that is current, thought provoking and engaging, offering practical teaching ideas and up-to-date, relevant resources for ten innovative lessons to support the new GCSE specifications. The lessons involve a wide range of practical skills and learning activities, and explore the links between students' lives and the key issues of our time.
Paula Cooper teaches geography at King Edward VI Five Ways School, Birmingham. She led the geography department in achieving the GA's Secondary Geography Quality Mark, Centre of Excellence Award.

There more to the multiple channel bonding than speeds. On a single channel modem I would see delays in channels changes that would seem like a loss of internet. I don't see them at all with my doc 3 6121.
thanks Anon thats good advice
I activated a 6141 today. The main difference is it can bond to 8 channels instead of 4. It's basically the newer version. It's only using 4 at the moment though. Log data is very good.
Let me know here if you have any issues and I will be happy to look into them!
I'll be provisioning a 6141 in Cedar Rapids IA on Monday 3/11/13. I'll post my results then

He's known for his quick wit and wry humour and now sports broadcaster and cricket legend Mark Richardson is hosting The Block NZ.
Mark played 15 years of first class cricket and five years of test cricket, including 38 test matches for the Black Caps until his 2004 retirement.
Known by cricket followers as 'Rigor', Mark was one of this country's most successful and charismatic cricketers. He memorably turned around his career – from failed bowler to successful batsman, and was popular with cricket fans for his irreverent sense of humour.
A cricket commentator and sports presenter for the Sky network, Mark is also a published author. His 2006 book, Mark Richardson Thinking Negatively, was written with sports psychologist Alexander Mackenzie.
The 40-year-old currently lives in Auckland with his wife Mary and their twins Annabel and Charlie.
"It is a great opportunity for me to do something outside of sport. It will be incredibly interesting to work on a big budget primetime show, with some of the best in the business."

Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889—1962) was a French painter specialising in portraits of Parisian women
Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889—1962) was a French painter specialising in portraits of Parisian women
"Bérangère Claire presents each season a new collection of classics and basics with refined details … all garments that are easy to wear everyday, but more than a fashion, a style, simple and chic at affordable prices."
parisienne is a the latest perfume by YSL, and they have enlisted some well known stylish people (joanna goddard amongst them) to blog for them:
YSL is sending five renowned bloggers on a journey around the country to discover and reveal their very own PARISIENNE experiences in New York City, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. YSL has chosen an ensemble of women with passions for beauty, art, design, music, fashion and food to create a travel diary of their trip. Stay tuned here to read articles, see photos and follow the women on their journey.
i like the concept because there's isn't heavy product placement in the stories (which would have ultimately made the bloggers look like sell-outs and the 'experience' a bit fake).
how to do your hair like a frenchie
urban bikers in NY
'parisienne' scarf
french bread
(ps: one of my favourite perfumes that i use often is YSL elle – so if parisienne is even vaguely similar, it's probably amazing. i am very partial to darker/rich scents like viktor & rolf's flowerbomb, kate moss' fragrance etc)
if i ever have a lovely little beach house to decorate, these prints would slipstream right in there – by wayne pate
do you think you pronounce his surname as in plate or as in pâté ? i love pâté…
mélanie laurent is a parisian born french actress, i had to look her up after seeing inglorious basterds last night. as i suspected, chic all the way. besides christoph waltz, she stole the movie for me.
another young actress who was also in the movie, but possibly overlooked by some, was léa seydoux (she played one of lapadite's daughters) – also styling:
sometimes i get really amusing search engine terms, eg: "models + babes + photography" or "black and white pussy" (….) but the BEST one i've had so far is, "perhaps pierre? monique?"
you'll only get it if you've watched that meg ryan + kevin kline movie, french kiss. and even then, you'd probably only enjoy it if you've seen it as often as i have. it's one of those inside jokes with my friends that cracks us up, and no one else gets.
kate has just arrived in paris after her fiance ran off with some french babe, and she's sitting in the lobby of his 5 star hotel waiting for him to appear, when bob the slimey euro con-man approaches her.
You are American, no?
For the moment.
Well, forgive me for intruding, but I saw you sitting here looking a little sad. "Why should such a beautiful woman look so sad?" I ask myself.
Have you got an hour?
As a matter of fact… always. Let me help you to forget your sadness. And remember that you are in Paris, City of love.
Can I ask you something?
Of course.
Can you urinate with someone standing right behind you?
I think I could manage it… Are you going to be the someone?
Me? No! That's not what I meant.
So… you would like that I arrange for someone else to stand next to me? It could be arranged. Perhaps Pierre? Monique?
You have the face of an angel. But I'm delighted to find the mind is a little devil….
i love that some searched for that! FYI – the search term originally referred to this post.
