Midwest Living Review
Sure you can see modern art at the free-admission Cleveland Museum of Art (just around the corner from MOCA's new digs), but this is the place for cutting-edge contemporary art, the stuff critics call edgy or experimental. Its biggest fans see as straight-up cool. You'll find paintings, sculptures, huge installations and multimedia pieces; there's even a video salon. With no permanent collection, MOCA hosts eight annual exhibitions, with little to no overlap, giving visitors plenty of reasons to return.
MOCA's new home, in the Uptown district, is just as cool as anything inside. Architect Farshid Moussavi's 34,000-square-foot building defies geometrical classification—beginning as a hexagon and morphing into a square at its roof. Passersby get a taste of treats inside through a four-story atrium that's backlit at night.
Four floors of galleries shift in size and structure according to the exhibition. The dark blue exterior walls stand out from the typical white. Skip the elevator and take to the stairs. While the main stairs seem to twist and float like a sculpture, a second set of stairs is neatly encased beneath them. Ascend with an open view of the entire museum and descend in a tunnel of yellow light. There's a gift shop and cafe on the first floor. Parking may be difficult to find; look for spots along Euclid or in the metered lot on Mayfield. Admission is $8. Open Tuesdays through Sundays.
Even if you're not into modern art, MOCA's double-dose of adventurous architecture and unexpected exhibitions just might change your mind.

Luiz Razia's place on the Formula One grid is under threat after 'financial problems' resulted in him missing the last test at Barcelona.
Razia joined Marussia in time for the first pre-season after purchasing the backmarker outfit's second seat.
However, the 23-year-old's career could be over before it even starts after his sponsors 'did not deposit the money' needed to secure his seat.
As a result, Razia was dropped from the team's line-up for the second outing at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Marussia sighted a need for continuity with Max Chilton staying behind the wheel, however, Razia has confirmed there is more to the story.
"In the contract there are parties with responsibilities," he told Folha de S.Paulo.
"We trust them but we have some conflicts."
Asked if those 'conflicts' were the reason he did not test last week, Razia responded: "Exactly.
"We have done the right things, just this is out of our control."
The Brazilian, though, believes the situation will be responded in the next "few days."
Marussia will be in action next at the Circuit de Catalunya on Thursday for the start of the final pre-season test before heading to Melbourne for the season-opener.

Goals: Mars Pathfinder was designed primarily to demonstrate a low-cost way of delivering a set of science instruments and a free-ranging rover to the surface of the Red Planet. The unique airbag system cushioned the lander in a cocoon after a parachute and rocket descent through the thin Martian atmosphere.
Accomplishments: Mars Pathfinder demonstrated a number of innovative, economical, and highly effective approaches to spacecraft and mission design. The wagon-sized Sojourner rover was the forerunner of more advanced rovers such as Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity. Both Spirit and Opportunity used a variation of the airbag system to land on Mars. The Carl Sagan Memorial Station also used an innovative petal design that unfolded after landing, exposing its science instruments and releasing the rover to explore surrounding rocks.
In addition to its engineering accomplishments, Pathfinder made significant contributions to what was known about Mars' geology and meteorology at the time.

Bernie Ecclestone has confirmed there will only be 19 races on the 2013 calendar and the Nurburgring will be one of the venues.
The FIA announced late last year that this season would consist of 20 races with an unconfirmed European grand prix on July 21 added to the schedule and the venue for the German GP yet to be named.
Media reports later suggested that the Turkish Grand Prix at Istanbul Park, which was dropped after the 2011 season, could make a return while France and Austria were also mooted as possible venues.
However, there will be no 20th race after Ecclestone told Reuters 'the 2013 calendar will feature 19 races after Turkey's failed bid to return'.
The Formula One boss also confirmed that the Nurburgring will host this year's German Grand Prix, ruling Hockenheim out.
"It should be the Nurburgring and we are trying to make it happen," he said. "I'm talking with them today [Tuesday]."
Meanwhile a spokesperson for Nurburgring told GPUpdate.net: "The German Grand Prix is not confirmed yet. We are still in talks and we are currently waiting for a response to our proposal."

At long last, Dan Auerbach has set the record straight. He does not own a lock of Bob Dylan's hair - but if he wanted to get his hands on some, he knows a guy.
When it was reported last summer that Auerbach - who helms the Grammy-winning Nashville rock duo The Black Keys -and ex-wife Stephanie Gonis had finalized their divorce, news outlets honed in on one bizarre item Gonis would receive in the settlement: "Bob Dylan Hair."
This week, that blurb was still on the mind of one TMZ cameraman who tracked Auerbach down in an airport.
When asked if he really owned a lock of the rock legend's hair, Auerbach laughed it off. According to him, that asset was actually a famous poster of Dylan - an iconic silhouette in which his hair is colored in a psychedelic swirl.
Auerbach told TMZ that after the divorce reports, he'd heard from "Bob Dylan's son" - presumably Jakob Dylan of The Wallflowers, who recently recorded at Auerbach's Easy Eye studio in Nashville.
"He texted me and said, 'If you really need a lock of his hair, I can probably get it for you.'"
Asked what he'd pay for something like that, Auerbach replied: "I'd get it for free, man."

Edited : the reason I want to use an image format rather than a text format is to avoid any possible error when converting the .doc file to the .pdf format, such as font missing and substituted by another one, etc. . So far, all "regular" word to pdf software show a few errors here and there. I really want a 100% perfect copy within the pdf, whatever font/text/image is used in the source document.
How do you know the word to image process is perfect as you do not capture screen now?
Do you have some test doc file for share?

Bunka Bathes Heroes, Villains and Monkeys in Shadow [Art]
Batman may be the hero we associate most with darkness, but these illustrations by Bunka, a.k.a. Yann Le Nevé, show that a well-placed shadow can lend any character a touch of menace. DC superfolks, Marvel characters and Ninja Turtles all feel the weight of Bunka's mighty blacks, but so do his own characters: furry creatures that are adorable at first glance, only to prove terrifying as their true qualities emerge from the shadows.The in

I used white oak, because treated wood wasn't an option in a food application and soft woods such as pine can impart an aftertaste to the cider. The press part is just a scissors jack from the auto parts store mounted to one of the top timbers. At 3000 pounds, it should have enough ooomph to adequately press the apples. At the other end is a grinder, made up of two rollers I turned out of a piece of oak. I put stainless screws into it to use as teeth for mashing the apples. The ground apples fall into the slatted bucket, which is lined with a mesh bag and gets moved to the other end where the press is. The juice flows out the slats, and into the wooden trough, where it then heads out into the bucket.
The cheese press is just a wooden arm that's mounted across the two top timbers, with a second arm mounted to it that goes down into the cheese mold. A weight ( a jug with water in it) is hung from the end. The pressure is varied by adding or subtracting water from the jug.
And here's how I did it...
Step 1: The future cider press
This is great! I have been looking for some direction on how to make a system for Bio-Mass logs (just moved and have a ton of cardboard). I'm thinking your roller apparatus could be modified to help shred cardboard, paper, leaves, ect. Then modifying the press to wet out the pulp wood products and press them to shape.
I'm excited to try it! thanks for the motivation
Washing the press with hot, hot water and a few tablespoonfuls of of boric acid will help prevent mold. rise after. Boric acid is a food additive used in pickles to keep them crisp. Available at most pharmacies or big box grocery stores that have canning supplies in the fall.
I noticed there were a few comments about putting galvanized metals near food products; I would fourth that, including copper, and I would also separate the cheese processing from the yeast based processing (cider, wine, etc.) for bacteriological reasons.
Stainless is the way to go for collecting fluids, or even plastic, in conjunction with your wood. Wood in conjunction with chlorine cleaners can enable the agents that create trichloroanisole (TCA) which is NOT good eats in wine - it also creates the flavor profile commonly called "corked".
So cleaning wise, you must be careful unless you are after your own personalized microbial flora/fauna.
A very good cleaner for wine and cider (and beer) areas is "eco-bleach" sold in grocery stores as a non-chlorine bleach, containing citric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Wonderful stuff - sterilizer and cleaner.
We clean big wine tanks (stainless, mostly but plastic too) by starting with sodium percarbonate (available in beer and wine brewing stores) and then neutralizing the slight causticity of the percarbonate with citric acid (as in the bleach alternative). Now you know the secrets of big winery cleaning!
Seriously, I love your craftsmanship.
nice instruct able
Then you can make WINE!!!
Also the price of a wine press is 4 arms,6 torsoes , 3 legs and 2 heads.
If I had 10c everytime people say that to me.
I'd have $47.40
If there was a bomb attack, then wouldn't the press catch on fire? If it's a atomic bomb or somethingand it doesn't burn you up, then maybe it'll turbo-react you up?
That's awesome. You should join my North Carolina group.
Are those bike parts from the BBI?

Is the conservative movement at a point of historic realignment that will dump or marginalize the Republican Party?
My contention, which I put forth at my blog (truth-2-power.com) is that elitist America, from the Federalists to the Whigs to the Republicans goes through cycles that align with swings in their political power that create the kind of pro-wealth policies that lead to overheating one or more sectors of the economy, its ultimate melt-down, and re-assumption of control by the populists of whatever monicker that the day calls them.
Well before the mainstream media got there, I have documented the sources who fund major political movements in the GOP, and the very un-Civil War inside the party.
The problem for the GOP is that both factions are extremist. The Necons represent the military-industrial sub-class of American fascism and the Libertarian/Koch/Norquist faction are the Taft "robber-baron" fascists straight out of the 19th century, or, as we refer to them, the "Dead Billionaires Club".
The moderates are purged in the primaries. Sen. Dick Lugar (R-In) is the latest example. They do this even when it undermines the mainstream connections to the electorate.
Historically this is with precedent. Hard-liners in the GOP will rationalize 2010 and their true belief in the message and not move much. Which leaves everyone from Chris Christie to purgees like Charlie Crist looking at 32-35% of the electorate that is fiscally conservative but not socially so, and thinking there is a win in disavowing the power structures of the GOP.
They won't go quietly into the night, ergo a high likelihood that a new conservative party will emerge and send the extremist GOP into the history books.
Nov 20 2012: Are these people reall onservative? What does the Rep;ublican elite really want?Nov 20 2012: The key is the womens vote ... Romney was turning the corner because the women pay the bills and the money was being stretched and reality was at the supermarket ... right up till the senator stated that Rape is the will of God ... then another more powerful message hit them .. bye bye womens vote.
I do not see anything helping the economy if we maintain the current path .. which we will. The dislike of Congress and the path being followed never showed up during the election ... the same people are back in. The promise of transparency never occurred ... The use of Executive Orders instead of the historical act of Congress does not seem to bother anyone .. To encourage class warefare while we set up a elietist class in the administration that seems to be ignored ... to make laws for the masses while the elietists excuse themselves from the same laws ... The warnings of people like Yuri Bezmenov go unheeded .... A Russian endorsement of John Kerry for Secretary of State would have killed the career of anyone a few years ago and now it is accepted and a good thing ... Now just where in these events would you expect the Republician party to enter or make a dent.
The answer is more than likely in the advent of the millions of Independents. People who are fed up with both sides and the hidden political agendas.
Socialism has won the day. When you say the country will still be here are you implying that in the next four years there will be a turn around and we will go from our aa- back to a AAA credit rating? That the Constitution will survive the abuse being heeped upon it. That big government and social programs will not break us. That states will not go bankrupt from the likes of Obamacare? That printing more money will solve our problems?
Independents, like me, will help to shape the next platforms. There will always be people that can be led by either party. They will depend on sheeple votes but they must work for our vote.Nov 26 2012: The Republicans are finished as a realistic option for the American electorate because all they have to offer is wishful thinking, dogmatic, wind-the-clock-back BS. Romney managed to alienate half the voters in one go, on more than one occassion; ie women, in one instance, non-rich people on another. The demographic has changed beyond recognition ( to a Republican ) in the USA. They blew billions preaching to the choir and completely failed to realise that the America of the near future wil be predominantly non-white and non-"traditional". Taking legal control of women's bodies, divorcing gay couples by Constitutional Amendment, making life "so uncomfortable" for upwards of 10 000 000 illegal aliens that they "self deport" ? What is that if it isn't living in the past?
Add to all that the obscene wealth of that asset-stripping sociopath and honest, upright, working people were supposed to believe he feels their pain? Incredible! He has no clue what ordinary people go through to try and make it work. ( Oh, and - if you're a girly -" be home in time to make dinner".)
Those dinosaurs need to die off before their party stands any chance of election.Nov 22 2012: The conservative movement has certainly changed a lot since conservative Barry Goldwater ran for president. It is not even recognizable as the same movement.
Today, conservative tends to be seen as belligerent, christian, white, & exclusionary. That wasn't always the case. Goldwater had the courage to stand up to the theocrat christians - but then he lost. I think he lost because of the commercial that is memorable even for today's viewers. (Young child and atom bomb). Today, the arch-conservative of his time would be called a blue-dog Democrat. (Fiscal conservative, social liberal)
For as long as there is something to fear, fear-mongers will stir up the radical right. The more they do that, the less power they have. The Tea Party cost Republicans the electon. I will be curious to see how they come to terms with that.Nov 20 2012: Looking at voting trends since Wilson we see that the collective wisdom of the electorate gives the White House to the Reds for two terms, then to the Blues for two terms. Further, they never give the White House and the Congress to the same party. That is how it will always be. Just as the Democrat candidate was assured victory in '08, so is the Republican (or whatever) candidate in '16. So, your question is moot.
Gail .
Nov 20 2012: The white-Christian Tea Party has to go, but how to you expunge 30-35% of your base without killing yourself off?
- 0
Rather than using outreach to find women, Hispanics, non-Christians, and white urbanites (but not blacks), the Republicans really should be using educational outreach to reach the exclusionary Tea Partiers, who are so willfully uninformed, and who, in large part, believe that they will be raptured before the sh*t they stand behind hits the fan. Reps really should boycott Fox News and Rush Limbaugh until they stand for something other than hate and inequality.
Democrats have a similar war at play. I believe that the reason Obama won is because those who were gravely disappointed by Obama were terrified of the hate and religious (theocratic) fervor of the Republican Party. The penalties that the Tea Party wants to inflict on women (a majority) and almost every minority was terrifying.Nov 19 2012: "They won't go quietly into the night, ergo a high likelihood that a new conservative party will emerge and send the extremist GOP into the history books."
I don't know, an economically conservative but socially liberal platform could have won Mitt Romney the presidency in 2012, but it may have been the last time such a platform could win anyone the presidency. The ultra-conservative right wing of the republican party will die along with its aging constituency (although I'm sure they'll last just long enough to oppose equal rights for artificial intelligences). Whether this will lead to the the moderate republicans taking over the party (or starting a new one), or the democrats splitting in two (with the blue dog dems taking in former moderate republicans) is anyone's guess.Nov 19 2012: Will the country exist? Unless you've taken a recent course in Sarte and Camus and decided that nothing is real, yes.
Nov 19 2012: Don't know what that is. But with the debt I wonder why it is you are certain the country will be here?
Nov 19 2012: Let's not go nuts worrying over the debt. As a percentage of the Gross National Product, the debt is not as high today as it was after World War II.
pat gilbert
Nov 20 2012: Well here is a little fun fact, the debt service on just the 16 trillion current debt is 250 billion per year at roughly 1.5% interest if that goes to the historical normal of 5% just the debt service will be 750 billion per year.
- +1
The current revenue is around 2.5 trillion. So 30% of the revenue will go to current debt.
Not to mention that they spend another 1.5 trillion above that with more borrowed money
Not to mention that the unfunded liabilities are in excess of 100 trillion dollars.
If I'm nuts tell me how otherwise if the shoe fits...Nov 26 2012: The WW 2 was closely followed by practically full employment, an era when the US was mining and drilling and milling and manufacturing for itself, like we in the UK used to do.
Along come Thatcher and "Reaganomics" and we decide to make huge swathes of our own people redundant in favour of cheaper imports. Colombian coal shipped to British power-plants, for example. Coal mined by children as young as 5. How the hell can a developed nation's workforce compete with child slavery? A question I've been asking since the 80s : We export all our jobs to China, China exports all its unemployment to us; THEN WHAT ?
Our problem in the 1st world is, we don't know what the hell we want, but we know we want it cheap! Dozens of Chinese workers have commited suicide in the plant that churns out funky gadgets for Apple because of the concentration-camp conditions. Why not have a factory in the US making the damned things? OK, an iPad / Pod / Phone would cost a few more bucks. Big deal ! It would've created thousands of badly needed jobs !
Protectionist ? OK, if you like to call it that, better that than entire (formerly industrial) cities full of (formerly industrious) people with nothing to do but seek refuge in drug or alchohol induced oblivion.Nov 30 2012: According to OMB published figures the 1950 % was 92.7 and the 2010 % was 93.4Nov 19 2012: Are you talking about the kondratieff cycle?
Will the country even exist to accept a new political party?

Offered Ryan Mathews for Kyle Orton (my backup to Brees).
My rb situation is pretty dire (PPR league though, and my WRs are awesome). I have Forte, Tolbert, then...Portis and a few other scrubs. He also has Torain and Lynch, though I like Torain a lot better between those two. He has Eli Manning and Cutler.
I don't know if I'm sold on Mathews yet, and Torain won't be splitting as many carries.
Thoughts on this trade or a possible counter of Orton for Torain?

Killer shorts at a good price
By Friendly rider 471
from Kankakee, IL
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I love these shorts! These are even better than the old Descente's I used to wear back in my glory days when I raced. They keep me extremely dry and have excellent padding though some may find them bulky there is so much padding but I like it. My only complaint would be that they are too long but then again I was buying them for my large waist rather than being a big and tall man. I'd say they are a great value and I don't believe you'd be disappointed with them.

Awesome shorts
By Loonacy
from Indiana
My old shorts were leaving my butt sore after less than 15 miles and leaving me chafed. These were recommended by a LBS and after looking at reviews on several sites I bought them. I got the large and even though I'm at the top of the scale for the large shorts they fit very well, snug but not too tight. My first ride with them was a 37 mile jaunt and if I had more water I could easily have added another 15 or 20 miles. They are that comfortable. After the 37 miles I didn't experience a fraction of the discomfort I usually have for rides over 20 miles. These are great shorts with a lot of padding in the right places. They breath well and are very comfortable. I highly recommend the Pearl Izumi Attack shorts.

High Quality, not the most comfortable
By Larry in SC
from Spartanburg SC
My ONLY complaint about these shorts is the 3D chamois pad. The 3D feature creates pressure points that become sensitive after 90 minutes of riding. Otherwise, the fit is great, the quality is high. I only wish the chamois pad was flat/smooth instead of contoured.
excellent shorts

I've owned many different cycling shorts. Simply put, these are one of the most comfortable shorts I've worn for long rides.

By Dennis the Menace

I ride almost every day of the week and now own three of these, my go to shorts. They fit well and I don't have to use butter for rides under 60 miles. Very comfortable for everyday use.

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is holding fast to his position that legislation calling for the carrying of concealed weapons should allow city governments to decide their own standards. But the Democratic governor's preference goes against lawmakers, who have given such ideas a chilly reception.
The General Assembly has until June 9 to end Illinois' last-in-the-nation ban on concealed carry because of a federal appeals court ruling. Quinn wants larger cities such as Chicago to be able to set up their own standards for gun-toting citizens. Gun-rights advocates say that would create a confusing "patchwork" of laws and put gun owners in jeopardy.
A plan in the Senate would give Chicago-area police the ability to deny gun permits. Gun owners and Republicans are cool to the idea.

The World's Best New Hotels & Resorts
Top-tier brands remain on our travel experts' radar, but boutique properties and South American and Vietnamese destinations are also garnering rave reviews
Larry Olmsted
From the Print Edition:
Tom Selleck, Nov/Dec 2007
(continued from page 8)
But what is luxury? The term has become grossly overused, and describing a hotel or resort as a luxury property means little these days. Countless luxury lodgings are opening around the globe, and it is impossible for anyone not fully immersed in the upscale travel industry to stay on top of which ones deliver excellent accommodations, food, service and amenities, and which are mere pretenders. For this reason, we once again gathered our panel of experts—top travel writers, hoteliers, hotel executives, travel agents and assorted experts in specific travel categories, from spas to golf to skiing—to determine the world's best new hotels and resorts, limited to those that opened, or in special cases, that changed ownership or underwent renovation no earlier than January 1, 2004.
Because of the vast number of new properties around the globe, and the limited time many have been open, we again saw the clear advantage of our poll methodology: using trusted experts who have the knowledge of the marketplace and have actually been to the places they describe. Cigar Aficionado does not trust the reader polls other magazines use because their tiny samples tend to make them statistically unreliable—while the expertise and honesty of their respondents are unquantifiable. Votes in these polls can be cast by those who have never been to the hotels, by friends of hotel owners or perhaps by the hotel staff themselves. By using full-time experts in the hospitality business, and preventing them from voting for properties with which they are affiliated, we present the clearest picture of the best.
It used to be the industry norm for hotels to mature as they aged, typically experiencing growing pains when new, but as we have seen, new properties are now capable of meeting the most discerning standards from the moment they open, and in many cases, the best new hotels and resorts are the best, period.
During the research for this poll, we noticed several recent trends. Top-tier brands such as Ritz-Carlton, Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental, St. Regis and the like are still beloved, but as they open more hotels, it becomes harder for them to stand out, and with the exception of perennial panel favorite Four Seasons, none of these managed to wow our panelists with more than one hotel. Small hotels that are either stand-alone properties or a part of small conglomerates fared much better. From Ireland to New York City to remote Easter Island, these boutique properties prove that travelers increasingly value distinctiveness and originality. Design is becoming a greater factor in making the best hotels stand out, whether they are in carefully renovated antique buildings or cutting-edge construction, with carefully chosen touches from sheets to faucets to electronics increasingly catching the eye of discerning guests.
Two fast-growing destinations caught our attention. One is South America, which placed a couple of winners on our list, as well as receiving votes in a myriad of surprising categories such as Best Golf Resort. In the travel industry, South America has been on the verge of emerging as a star for years, and its long overdue success did not surprise us. Vietnam is a different story. As the world's top hotel brands fall over one another to open grand palaces throughout Asia, specifically in China, Macao and Japan, it was sleepy Vietnam that stood out, garnering votes for a number of properties, in multiple categories, from spas to beach resorts to city hotels. Hal Phillips, a golf travel panelist who lived in Asia for years and owns a media and Web development company in Vietnam, tells us "the [Vietnamese] economy is absolutely booming, and after 20 years as an essentially closed society, luxury properties are emerging in quantity. They're quickly making up for lost time. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a superb tropical climate, an educated workforce and a thousand miles of undeveloped coastline. The influence of French colonial legacy is another factor: the Vietnamese luxury and quality. I can think of a dozen historic properties that have been restored to their original, colonial-era grandeur." This reflects a lesson we saw around the world: sometimes everything old really is new again.
With votes cast around the world, the United States and Europe reigned supreme in this category. From New York to Paris to Dublin to San Francisco, the old world and new world were accounted for.
Large hotel—U.S.
St. Regis San Francisco
Our panelists raved about this Bay Area newcomer, and the only thing they could not agree on was whether this new hotel in a historic old building was small or large. Many considered it a boutique property, a testament to its large rooms and intimate feel, but with 260 rooms spread across more than 15 stories, it definitely meets the "best large" criteria. Elegant Bride travel editor Drew Limsky says, "This stellar hotel represents the next generation of urban accommodations, with rich design materials and state-of-the-art technology," while travel agent Anne Scully calls it "a fine example of how to combine history with modern touches, offering unforgettable style with grace at a great location." None of this was lost on the editors behind Mobil Guide either, who gave the St. Regis their rare five-star rating.
Notable: Another new luxury hotel set within a larger urban tower, the Mandarin Oriental New York wowed Small Luxury Hotels Joint Managing Director Paul Kerr, but for the most part our experts championed unique new hotels over brand-named ones, casting votes for an array of different addresses in this category, from Conrad Miami to Chicago's Amalfi Hotel to Boston's Liberty Hotel to Seattle's Hotel 1000.
Large hotel—International
Fouquet's Barriere, Paris
Few hotels in this year's survey swept our poll so convincingly, wowing gourmands, hoteliers, journalists and travel agents alike. While many famous hotels give birth to top restaurants, the reverse is the case here. A posh extension of Paris's famed eatery, Le Fouquet's, the hotel is ideally located on the corner of George V and the Champs-Elysées and is a stunning combination of modern technology and classic elegance. Ruthanne Terrero, editorial director of high-end trade bible Luxury Travel Advisor, rhetorically asked after a stay, "What else is needed?" while Limsky pronounced it the city's best hotel, bar none, with Paris's best spa as well.
Notable: Park Hyatt, Hyatt International's top-tier brand, is growing faster overseas than at home, and many recent properties won over our critics, especially the Ararat Park Hyatt Moscow, which Travelocity Editor Amy Ziff called "the best Moscow has to offer." The venerable Four Seasons also fared well, especially its new city hotels in Budapest and Hong Kong, the latter of which enjoys a one-of-a-kind location on Victoria Harbour.
Small hotel—U.S.
Hotel Gansevoort, New York City
The Big Apple is awash in new boutique hotels, many of which received nods from our panel, but the Gansevoort, in the trendy Meatpacking District, stood out. Travel journalist Steve Jermanok says he "loved the ultra-hip Gansevoort, from the new G Spa that turns into a celebrity-studded lounge after 10 p.m. to the rooftop pool [with] its underwater music." Terrero notes that the hotel was already "a proven favorite of top luxury suppliers; it represents the new pulse of New York. Service is swell despite its hip vibe." In a city notorious for cramped spaces, the hotel has a fabulous open-air rooftop bar set in a landscaped garden where cigar smokers are welcome, and is home to Ono, one of the nation's only Japanese restaurants offering authentic robatayaki cuisine.
Notable: Other new hip New York hotels that caught our eye were The Mercer in Soho, the Gramercy Park Hotel, which was the favorite of Tara Mandy, travel editor of New York magazine, and the Hotel Bowery, which Elle Decor travel editor Vicky Lowry calls "the place to stay if you want cutting-edge cool."
Small hotel—International
Dylan Hotel, Dublin
The Dylan has made every best new and hot list, and was named Ireland's best new hotel by the country's hospitality association. Careful attention to design, gorgeous fixtures and linens, and personal touches such as cordless Bang & Olufsen phones and heated bathroom floors make it extremely comfortable. Lowry loves the Dylan, calling it "small, stylish and a great reason to visit one of Europe's coolest new-old cities."
With so many beautiful oceanside resorts being erected around the world, our panelists had the difficult task of narrowing down their selections to one choice per region.
North America
Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Another runaway winner, this star of Ritz's resort portfolio garnered about the same number of votes as the other contenders combined. It even received votes in the best golf resort category, despite having just a nine-hole course. In short, the new resort on Cayman's Seven Mile Beach delivers on all fronts, from its two Eric Ripert restaurants, Blue and Periwinkle, to its Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy and its ocean discovery center run by Jacques Cousteau's son, Jean-Michel. Terrero says, "The service [is] amazing throughout, but if you reserve condo accommodations, the butler service is the real deal." Travel agent Scully says that the resort "has something to offer everybody."
Notable: The only other property in the region with multiple votes was Amanyara, the Caribbean's first venture from well-known Asian luxury hotel group Aman Resorts. Hotelier Stephen Brandman, co-owner of Thompson Hotels, says that "service is over the top from the moment you arrive, and in their compound you feel as if you are in heaven. The architecture is phenomenal. Rooms sit directly atop the pristine blue water, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, making for immaculate views right from your bed."
Mexico/Central America
One&Only Palmilla, Los Cabos, Mexico
Palmilla was a popular resort for decades, but it was only after One&Only took control, shuttered it for a massive renovation and expansion, and reopened the property less than three years ago that it joined the elite ranks of its ultra-luxe neighbors Las Ventanas and Esperanza. Additions included a new wing of huge, butler-serviced suites and the only restaurant outside of Chicago by star chef Charlie Trotter. It is also the sole resort in Cabo with its own golf course, a 27-hole Signature effort by Jack Nicklaus that even boasts air-conditioned carts. Gary Mansour of Mansour Travel says, "The outstanding service—butlers, staff and food—are all fantastic and the location is unbeatable." Hotel owner George Ruff declares the resort "a one-of-a-kind experience."
Notable: Mexico has had an explosion of new big-name resorts, from Mandarin Oriental to Fairmont, but the runner-up to Palmilla in this category was another revamp of a classic: Maroma Resort and Spa, an Orient-Express property on the Mayan Riviera that reopened last year after a massive face-lift, adding a new all-suite wing, the Casa del Mar. Brandman says, "Within my beachfront suite, I had my own private gym, pool, garden and indoor and outdoor showers. My suite also had a private palapa with toe massage beds. It was just idyllic."
Nam Hai Hotel, Vietnam
One of many Vietnamese luxury hotels and resorts exploding onto the global scene, the resort is more of a village, with guest rooms contained entirely in decadent freestanding villas, 40 of which have private pools, built around a pristine lagoon and stunning complex of three pools cascading into the ocean. Paul McManus, president and chief executive officer of Leading Hotels of the World, describes Nam Hai as "a resort of distinctive serenity and style located on China Beach with outstanding spa facilities."
Notable: The St. Regis Resort, Bora Bora had more than a few fans, including Drew Limsky, who says, "The over-water villas, at 1,500 square feet, instantly raised the luxury bar in French Polynesia. Some even have private pools suspended over the most beautiful lagoon in the world, with dead-on views of [Mount] Otemanu—you can't beat this kind of luxury. Most guests never leave their villas." Travel agent Mansour is impressed that "the owner has the clout to stop all fly-over aircraft for total privacy when needed."
At many resorts around the world, golf is king. We give you a selection of the best new places to play the game year-round, from the United States to Ireland to Scotland. The lodgings aren't too bad either.
Sanctuary Hotel, Kiawah Island, South Carolina
This new luxury anchor to one of America's greatest golf resorts has been awash in accolades since it opened, winning AAA Five-Diamond status and countless "best of" awards for its family-friendly atmosphere to its tennis and golf facilities. Our experts agreed, and David Baum, editor of Golf Odyssey, a critical golf newsletter, remarks, "This opulent oceanfront hotel creates a guest experience reminiscent of staying at a grand Southern estate. The quality of materials and craftsmanship are fantastic, and all the details are just right. With five courses headlined by Pete Dye's iconic Ocean Course, a Ryder Cup and now PGA Championship venue, plus exquisite service, endless family programs, 10 miles of wide beach and prolific wildlife, Kiawah Island Golf Resort is the preeminent full-service golf resort in the East."
Notable: The small Inn at Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina has just one very good course, but if it had more it might just give nightmares to much bigger resorts, since it handily beat the other competitors to finish second. Laid out like a Southern village, with rooms in cottages boasting tons of space, steam showers and wonderful porches, this waterfront escape from Auberge Resorts has a first-rate restaurant and spa, and Spanish moss and crumbling plantation ruins for the full Gone With the Wind effect.
Lodge at Doonbeg, Ireland
For more than a decade, PGA star Greg Norman dominated golf with his number one ranking. Now his highly praised design on Ireland's west coast is doing the same to golf travel. No category in our poll had such a clear-cut winner, and everyone who stayed at the property was bowled over by the luxurious elaborate stone townhouses that surround the opulent clubhouse. Golf writer and Ireland guru Michael Patrick Shiels says, "Doonbeg has easily the most impressive course-side lodging in all of Ireland," while Cigar Aficionado contributing golf editor Jeff Williams went a step further: "I've done Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay, Turnberry, Old Course Hotel, Kauri Cliffs and Pinehurst, and I believe [Doonbeg is] the finest single on-site golf accommodation in the world. Not a hotel in the classic sense, but rather a members club open to the public comprised of a substantial manor house and a surrounding village in the vernacular of Ireland. All brand new, but timeless and utterly fascinating. I just can't say enough good things about it, and all of this comes with the finest Irish hospitality."
Notable: While Doonbeg left the field in the dust, it is worth noting that Ireland is getting two more high-profile golf resorts this fall, including the first Ritz-Carlton in the British Isles, Powerscourt, with 36 holes. Competition will heat up when Horst Schulze, formerly the brains behind Ritz-Carlton, launches the first property in his new ultra-luxury brand, Capella, with Castlemartyr, a seventeenth-century Irish castle estate featuring a new 18-hole course by Ron Kirby.
In the everything-old-is-new-again category, the venerable Old Course Hotel, the premier lodging in the birthplace of golf, St Andrews, was sold in 2004 to plumbing giant Kohler, which operates the world-class American Club resort in Wisconsin, and the hotel immediately underwent a complete makeover, including lavish bathrooms and a spa now considered Scotland's best.
Although they don't fit into any of the aforementioned categories, these posh resorts—from ski chalets to ecological inns to outdoor retreats—are sure to excite and entice luxury travel aficionados.
Spa Resort—U.S.
Mayflower Inn, Washington, Connecticut
Proving that older is not necessarily wiser, and bigger not always better, this small newcomer in one of the most competitive and fastest growing categories simply crushed the competition. Last year, just months after it opened, the accolades, including five Mobil Stars and five AAA diamonds, started to mount. This year, the Mayflower won almost every vote cast: Travelocity editor Amy Ziff says the Mayflower "has taken the weekend getaway to new and luxurious heights. They've thought of absolutely every last detail. There's not a place in the world that feels like such a perfect home," while many other experts such as Mary Bemis, editor in chief of Organic Spa Magazine, and Tara Mandy, New York magazine's travel editor, call it their favorite.
Notable: Another northeastern newcomer not only took second place among U.S. spas, but got every vote not cast for the Mayflower. Pennsylvania's The Lodge at Woodloch is "the first proper destination spa to open in over a decade," according to travel and culinary journalist Nicole Alper.
Spa Resort—International
Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman
Not satisfied to win for Best Beach Resort, this new property, the top finisher in our entire poll, also wowed panelists with its Silver Rain La Prairie Spa. From the Champagne served in the lounge after treatments to a Swedish massage that Luxury Travel Advisor editor Ruthanne Terrero says will "remove kinks in your back that have been there since birth," nothing was missed at this superlative facility. New York magazine's Tara Mandy was skeptical but won over, saying, "The Caribbean has always been good at creating spa environments, but the treatments are usually subpar. Silver Rain is not only spectacularly designed but also offers treatments and aestheticians that would hold their own in any of the top spas in New York or L.A. It's by far the best spa in the Caribbean."
Notable: The rest of the votes were cast in far-flung places, from South Africa's new Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa in Knysna to Bora Bora, where both the Thalasso Spa and St. Regis got nods. Likewise, several properties in Thailand received votes, including Sila Evason Hideaway & Spa at Samui, a Six Senses property and the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi. The only property in Europe to garner a vote was one that also fascinated our golf panelists, the Four Seasons Provence at Terre Blanche in France.
Ski Hotel—North America
Tie: Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Four Seasons Resort Whistler, British Columbia
It was pretty clear what brand our panelists thought did the best job of luxury ski-in/ski-out hotels, with a tie between Four Seasons' two newest ski properties. From the stunning après ski sushi offerings and four-day heli-ski, cat-ski and guided backcountry ski luxury adventure packages at the Jackson Hole property to the "Ski or Snowboard with an Olympian" offerings at Whistler, it's easy to see why these two hotels led the poll. Travelocity's Ziff says of Jackson Hole: "I could put this vote down just for having an amazing spa, but it's really the stellar lodge and service that make the Four Seasons Jackson such a standout. The rooms are as delicious as your warmed boots brought to you by the ski valet before you hit the slopes."
Notable: Several of our panelists were impressed by the three-year-old Park City Hotel in Park City, Utah, which just added even more upscale lodging in the form of its new Cottage Suites. The Hotel Terra Jackson Hole, an environmentally friendly, green-design luxury hotel in Teton Village, Wyoming, is the most anticipated new hotel in the area and will be a direct competitor to the Four Seasons Jackson Hole.
Ski Hotel—International
The Omnia, Zermatt, Switzerland
Zermatt is the quintessential alpine town, its main street blissfully car-free and lined with cuckoo clock—style exteriors, making the very contemporary Omnia a radical addition to the long unchanged lodging scene. With floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and balconies boasting views of the Matterhorn from every room, this new hotel wowed travel journalist and ski guru Everett Potter and travel industry insider Janine Cifelli, who says, "The Omnia gives Zermatt the best of both worlds: you can eat up the classic atmosphere of town, right down to the fondue, but then retire to luxe lodgings more like something out of Singapore or South Beach than Switzerland."
Adventure/Eco Resort
Explora Hotel, Easter Island, Chile
This hotel is so new it doesn't officially open until December, but our insiders were able to preview it. It comes as no surprise that it topped the category since Explora, a boutique Chilean company whose mission is to marry luxury lodging and expert guides with environmental sensitivity, has won twice before in our polls for its flagship property in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia.
