''The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name' disproves the adage that you can't judge a book by its cover. Jago's award-winning cover art is a foretaste of the whimsically insightful and richly colored drawings that await you on every one of the book's 351 pages. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book....Jago the illustrator, and Sally Lloyd-Jones the author, are a good pair. She brings the same creativity and sense of humor to her telling of the Bible's stories....But Lloyd-Jones's writing isn't cutesy. She has a grasp of the profound. How does one explain to a child the agony of Jesus in Gethsemane, and his prayer of surrender to his Father? Lloyd-Jones does it as well as any biblical commentator....The title and subtitle are even better than the book's delightful illustrations and narrative -- because they provide, in one deft stroke, the interpretive key that unlocks the meaning of the whole Bible. 'The Jesus Storybook Bible' says it all: The Scriptures are not merely a collection of stories designed to teach moral lessons. As Jesus explained to the men walking the road to Emmaus on Resurrection Sunday, the whole Bible is about Jesus. In the words of the subtitle, every story whispers his name....Lloyd-Jones manages to show again and again the presence of Christ in all the Old Testament Scriptures, and the presence of the Old Testament Scriptures in the life of Christ.' (Christianity Today)
The Jesus Storybook Bible is, in my opinion, one of the best resources available to help both children and adults see the Jesus-centered story line of the Bible. Tullian Tchividjian , Senior Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church (PCA, Fort Lauderdale, FL.)
The quality and originality of this retelling of the Bible is impressive. Difficult concepts for children are clearly explained within the context of their stories. The text blends perfectly with the strong color and texture of the illustrations, which are original and lively and a million miles from 'traditional'. The book, enhanced by the audio retelling will appeal to all children, not just those from a Christian background. (School Library Journal UK)

Limbaugh: Activists Think Voter ID Laws Are Racist Because When Black People Try To Get IDs They End Up In Jail For Their "Crimes"

Fox News did not air several Democratic National Convention speeches from figures promoting issues that run counter to the narrative the network has pushed for years -- including racial justice, reproductive rights, gun safety reform, LGBT equality, and respect for Muslim-Americans.
During the second day of the convention on July 26, members of the "Mothers of the Movement," a group of women whose African-American children were killed due to gun violence or in officer-involved shootings, shared their experiences and their children's memories. The women also urged people to support Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who they said "isn't afraid to say that black lives matter," and pushed for criminal justice reform and gun safety reform. Fox News not only neglected to air the speeches, but the Mothers of the Movement appearance went completely unmentioned at the time. Fox News and right-wing media have repeatedly demonized the Black Lives Matter movement, likening it to "a hate group" and a "murder movement." They have also dismissed calls for criminal justice reform, pushing the "black-on-black crime" canard as an excuse and calling concerns about systemic racism in American society "dumb."
The convention also featured speakers who advocated for protecting abortion rights, including Planned Parenthood Action Fund president Cecile Richards, who spoke on July 26, and NARAL Pro-Choice America president Ilyse Hogue, who spoke on July 27. Both speeches were ignored by Fox. Protecting abortion rights runs counter to the stigma Fox casts on the medical procedure, with their hosts falsely framing abortion law restrictions as patient safety measures and calling a common abortion procedure "dismemberment abortion." Conservative media have joined Fox figures to demonize Planned Parenthood, repeatedly pushing debunked myths that the organization profited off the selling of fetal tissue. This smear effort has been led by Fox News, which has hosted overwhelmingly anti-choice guests -- often extremists -- to push misinformation about abortion and about Planned Parenthood.
The convention included remarks from relatives of victims of the Orlando and Sandy Hook massacres, both speaking on July 27 on behalf of gun safety reform. Fox covered neither speaker. Fox has consistently misinformed on the issue of gun safety, pushing the National Rifle Association-driven lie that gun safety measures would "take" guns away from lawful gun owners,and calling gun safety reforms "flat-out dangerous." Right-wing media have also falsely claimed that shootings tend to occur in so-called "gun-free zones," and have even asserted that restricting assault weapons such as those used in the Orlando and Sandy Hook mass shootings constitutes a "war on women."
On the final day of the convention, Sarah McBride delivered remarks as the first openly transgender person to ever speak at a party convention. McBride urged the passing of legislation to "combat violence against transgender women of color, and to end the HIV and AIDS epidemic once and for all." Again, Fox was the only cable network to not carry the speech. Fox has long waged a war on LGBT rights, arguing marriage equality would be a slippery slope to marrying animals and portraying those opposed to the policy as victims. More recently, Fox has worked to demonize transgender Americans, calling equal access to bathrooms for transgender people a "violation … of everybody's rights" and pushing the dangerous and long-debunked myth that safe, accessible bathrooms for all would result in grown men targeting girls in restrooms. Fox personalities have also called transgender Americans "confused" and "troubled" and "a very big threat to our culture."
Muslim-American Khizr Khan, whose son was a U.S. Army captain killed in Iraq, also addressed the convention on July 28. Khan spoke about the honor he and his wife felt to attend the convention "as patriotic American Muslims with undivided loyalty to our country." Khan condemned Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's rhetoric against Muslims, challenging Trump to read the Constitution and concluding, "You have sacrificed nothing. And no one." Fox only aired two minutes of the 7-minute-long speech without audio as commercials -- including a Benghazi attack ad -- played over it. Fox figures have repeatedly questioned the patriotism and beliefs of Muslim-Americans, saying it is "ridiculous" to claim they "are assimilating", claiming that Islam "was born of violence," and repeatedly ignoring Muslim-American voices to falsely assert that the community doesn't speak out after terrorist attacks. Fox and right-wing media also gave cover to Trump's Muslim ban proposal, calling it "rather prudent" and framing it as "the Constitution versus the Quran on every level."
Here are The Democratic Convention Speeches Fox Didn't Show
Fox News did not air several speeches from the 2016 Democratic National Convention that focused on gun violence, equality, immigration, national security, and reproductive rights. Here are some of the speeches they ignored.

Concluding the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton became the first woman to accept the nomination of a major political party in the United States. Right-wing pundits immediately criticized Clinton's speech, mannerisms, and diction, instead of addressing the contents of her speech.
Fox News Plays Katy Perry Song After Khan Leaves Stage
Fox News ignored a speech by the father of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in 2004 in the Iraq war, instead opting to air commercials during the speech. Fox later went live to a song by pop singer Katy Perry after the speech.
During the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, PA, Khizr Khan spoke about the honor he felt to be present at the convention with his wife, "as patriotic American Muslims with undivided loyalty to our country." Khan's speech was preceded by a video that showed Hillary Clinton calling Captain Khan "the best of America" and explaining the circumstances of his death, for which he was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
The Washington Post reported that Khizr Khan turned his attention toward GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump:
"If it was up to Donald Trump, [Humayun] never would have been in America," Khan said. "Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims. He disrespects other minorities, women, judges, even his own party leadership. He vows to build walls and ban us from this country."
"Donald Trump," he said, "you are asking Americans to trust you with our future. Let me ask you: Have you even read the U.S. Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy." He pulled a copy of the Constitution from his pocket. "In this document, look for the words 'liberty' and 'equal protection of law.'"
"Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery? Go look at the graves of the brave patriots who died defending America — you will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities," Khan said.
"You have sacrificed nothing. And no one."
While CNN and MSNBC aired the video and Khan's speech in full, Fox News' The Kelly File instead continued with its regular commentary featuring Brit Hume, then went to commercial as the speech began, showing slightly more than two minutes of the speech in a small window as commercials -- including a Benghazi attack ad -- overplayed it. Watch:
And at the end of her show, Kelly cut off her panelists' commentary to instead air several minutes of a Katy Perry performance at the convention.

CNN And MSNBC Carried Sarah McBride's Speech Live
Fox News did not air Sarah McBride's speech at the Democratic National Convention, where she made history becoming the first openly transgender person to speak at a major party's convention. Fox did however carry Peter Thiel's speech to the Republican National Convention live, where he made history announcing to the Republican convention that he is gay. CNN and MSNBC aired both McBride's and Thiel's speeches.

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, whose sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit led to Roger Ailes' recent exit from the network, told The Washington Post in an interview that she was "angry that it took so long" for Ailes to be pushed out. Carlson also said that Fox News employees who publicly defended Ailes "should have known better."
Earlier this month, Carlson filed a lawsuit alleging that Ailes fired her after she declined his sexual advances. Since then, an additional 25 women have come forward to allege harassment by Ailes, according to Carlson's attorney. Ailes biographer Gabriel Sherman reported that Fox News host Megyn Kelly told investigators that Ailes had harassed her as well. On July 19, it was reported that Ailes would leave Fox News as a result of the allegations and an internal investigation; he resigned two days later.
In an interview with Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan, Carlson said her reaction to Ailes' dismissal was, "At first, satisfaction -- or no, I think validation" and that she "felt angry that it took so long." She also noted, "It's complicated — there was relief that now I would be believed — and I was happy to a certain extent over that."
When asked about reports that Kelly came forward to speak about Ailes, Carlson said, "I appreciated that she told the truth, and I know it was risky." Sullivan writes that Carlson was also "disturbed by the public statements of some Fox News women and men who came forward in the first few days to say glowing things about Ailes's character."
Carlson said, "Some of them were lawyers. They should have known better, so I was surprised. It was like, 'Wow, you have no idea what you're talking about'," adding, "But I was at Fox a long time. I know how it works. You could sense that it all was orchestrated." (Fox News has a notoriously ruthless PR department that often targets people critical of the network.) From Sullivan's article:
But when I asked her how she felt as she watched Roger Ailes — perhaps the most powerful media figure in America — step down as Fox News chief only two weeks after she had sued him for sexual harassment, she searched for the right description.
"At first, satisfaction, or no, I think validation," she told me Wednesday. And then, she said, a new round of emotion came rushing in over the sexual harassment she says she endured while working for Ailes. "I felt angry that it took so long."
"It's complicated — there was relief that now I would be believed — and I was happy to a certain extent over that."
"I appreciated that she told the truth, and I know it was risky," Carlson said, but she disagreed that Kelly's statements made all the difference. It was "the multitude of women" who started to come forward, creating a critical mass that could no longer be ignored.
Conversely, she was disturbed by the public statements of some Fox News women and men who came forward in the first few days to say glowing things about Ailes's character, suggesting that he could never have engaged in sexual harassment.
"Some of them were lawyers. They should have known better, so I was surprised. It was like, 'Wow, you have no idea what you're talking about," she said. "But I was at Fox a long time. I know how it works. You could sense that it all was orchestrated."

text: PESTER BALL Introduction Welcome to my first RMT ever! This is a balanced team that I used for most of the recent RU suspect round, where Cresselia and Durant were retested and eventually brought down from BL2. It showcases one of my all-time favorite Pokemon, Pinsir, who until now has been a complete non-factor in RU, but who is starting to get some attention among the RU community as people try out the new set I used here. Teambuilding (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Teambuilding (open) Teambuilding (close) This team started out with a very clear goal: I wanted to test Swords Dance Pinsir. In particular, Swords Dance Pinsir with Quick Attack and Moxie. Despite being a priority move, Quick Attack is usually a bad choice for anything that isn't a Normal-type due to its poor BP and type. That, combined with the fact that it's incompatible with Close Combat, means that it's been mostly ignored from Pinsir's moveset, and many people don't even remember that it learns it. But for me, the potential of Swords Dance + Moxie + priority was too good to ignore, so I decided to give it a shot. Given that I was building a team around Pinsir, a spinner was an obvious addition to the team. Kabutops was the clear best choice, as not only is it the best offensive spinner in RU, but it resists most of Pinsir's weaknesses and vice versa. I also needed a Dark-type that could trap the Ghosts that counter Pinsir (especially Rotom) and provide a solid answer to Cresselia; Drapion fit the bill nicely. Finally, I needed a way to spread paralysis so Pinsir wouldn't have to rely too much on Quick Attack, which requires several boosts before it starts getting reliable KOs. Cresselia was an easy choice for this job; besides being an excellent paralysis spreader, she makes just about any RU team better with her ability to safely switch into most offensive Pokemon in the tier. From there it was a matter of filling in gaps. I needed Stealth Rock and a wallbreaker that could soften up the opponent's walls to give Pinsir a better chance to sweep, so I added Nidoqueen. The last addition was Poliwrath, whose ability to counter threats like Durant, Escavalier, Entei, Drapion, and Crawdaunt allow it to combine with Cresselia to form a very solid defensive core. I laddered with this team for a while and did alright. I got a few very satisfying sweeps, but also a few bad losses, and I wasn't really satisfied. After getting thoroughly defeated by SilentVerse, I almost gave up on the team and SD Pinsir completely. I convinced SV to try out SD Pinsir for himself though, and he was quickly impressed with its ability to wipe out an entire team when played well. I decided to give my team another shot, but with advice from SV I replaced two members that hadn't been pulling their weight. Qwilfish counters most of the same Pokemon as Poliwrath does, and while it's not as reliable as a wall, it adds Spikes and another paralyzer to the team, both of which help Pinsir immensely. Spiritomb gives me a third priority user and helps keep my hazards in play while still filling the roles Drapion was meant to. With these changes, the team took off, and I won my next 25-30 matches, including donking ladder enthusiast and cutest user 2011 runner-up Windong both times we played. The Team Pinsir @ Life Orb Trait: Moxie EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - X-Scissor - Earthquake - Quick Attack Pinsir is the reason this team exists. This set definitely needs support to succeed, but it's absolutely worth it thanks to how quickly Pinsir can end a match. Life Orb and an Adamant nature might seem like overkill given that it has SD and Moxie to boost its power, but Pinsir really does need all that power in order to get the first KO to kick off a sweep, and in order for Quick Attack to be powerful enough to prevent revenge killing. People's first answer to Pinsir is usually a wall like Steelix or Qwilfish, or at least a bulky Bug-resist like Nidoqueen or Aggron. After Swords Dance, Earthquake easily OHKOes the latter three, and it even OHKOes Steelix with enough hazards up. Once you have that first KO, things get a lot easier, because there are very few viable Pokemon in RU that can survive a hit from +3 Pinsir after hazards. We're talking Quagsire, Misdreavus, bulky Rotom, and that's about it. If you've managed to paralyze, eliminate, or heavily damage everything faster that can survive a +3 Quick Attack (it's a short list: Durant, Aerodactyl, Archeops, Drapion, and Rotom), the game is over. Obviously I wasn't able to force a switch and grab that SD boost every game, but Pinsir was still useful even then. He can outspeed and OHKO prominent attackers like Nidoqueen, Gallade, and Kabutops, and a priority move is always useful for picking off low HP Sceptile, Manectric, etc. If Pinsir does get a KO, it puts immediate pressure on the opponent; +1 Pinsir usually won't sweep a well-built team, but it will force them to play very conservatively in order to force it out, because mispredicting and letting it get another boost could be devastating. Kabutops @ Lum Berry Trait: Weak Armor EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature - Waterfall - Aqua Jet - Stone Edge - Rapid Spin Kabutops is pretty much universally regarded as the best spinner in RU at this point, and he was a no-brainer for this team. This is the standard offensive spin set, except with Waterfall over Swords Dance. I started using 4 attacks Kabutops a couple months ago and haven't really been tempted to go back. I don't need or expect Kabutops to sweep for this team, I just need him to consistently check things like Entei, Moltres, and Aerodactyl. Kabutops often ended up cleaning up at the end of the game if Pinsir couldn't get a clean sweep, and Waterfall's consistency was awesome for that. I used to run Life Orb, but I switched to Lum Berry to stop Smeargle from setting up on me, and it's ended up being useful for being lots of other things that would otherwise give this team trouble, like those silly Cosmic Power Sigilyphs the ladder loves so much. At first I was worried Kabutops would be too weak without Life Orb or Swords Dance, but that hasn't been a problem; like I said, he's not here to sweep, he's here to consistenlty beat the things he's supposed to beat, and he does that very well. 4 attacks Kabutops does work, whether it's Lum, LO, or CB. If you find you don't need or use SD very much, give it a shot. Nidoqueen (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Sheer Force EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature - Stealth Rock - Earth Power - Sludge Wave - Flamethrower Nidoqueen is almost certainly the best wallbreaker in RU. She can 2HKO just about anything in the tier with the right moves, and she can be very difficult to wear down. On this team, though, she's not really central to the offense; she's more of a glue Pokemon, here to fill a bunch of small but important roles. Her main job is to set up Stealth Rock. Pinsir has no way to deal with healthy Flying-types, especially ones that are bulky or resist Quick Attack like Moltres, Aerodactyl, and Archeops, so Stealth Rock is essential for preventing them from coming in freely and for weakening them to the point that boosted Quick Attack can finish them off. Nidoqueen is also usually my first answer to Rotom, Manectric, and Galvantula. She's my only Electric resist, and she's the only member of my team that doesn't really mind being Tricked/Switcheroo'd a Scarf or Specs, so she's the safest switch-in until I know what set my opponent is running. Other than that, Nidoqueen's job is to dish out a few strong Sludge Waves before she dies. If my opponent's team looks like it could easily be swept by Nidoqueen, I'll try to keep her out of harms way, but otherwise she's usually the first member of my team to get KOed, because outside of setting up Stealth Rock and throwing out a few Sludge Waves, she's not a critical part of the team's goal. Spiritomb @ BlackGlasses Trait: Infiltrator EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd Adamant Nature - Pursuit - Sucker Punch - Shadow Sneak - Return Spiritomb is my spinblocker, my Rotom-killer, my Cresselia counter, and another priority user for this relatively slow team. Those are all important things for this team, but Rotom-killing is definitely the biggest, as Rotom is probably this team's single biggest weakness. There isn't really much else to say about Spiritomb. If my opponent doesn't have Rotom, Cresselia, or a spinner, then Spiritomb is pretty useless, and it's usually the first thing I sac or use as sleep fodder for Lilligant or Tangrowth. I opted for Return over Will-O-Wisp or Toxic to avoid interfering with the paralysis support provided by the last two members of the team. Qwilfish @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spd Impish Nature - Spikes - Thunder Wave - Waterfall - Pain Split Qwilfish was once one of the most popular Pokemon in RU, but the metagame has changed a lot over the past year, and Qwilfish has fallen quite a bit as the Fighting- and Bug-types that it countered have either fallen out of favor or been banned. With Durant back in the tier and Escavalier on the rise, though, Qwilfish finally found its way back onto one of my teams. Intimidate allows it to check many of the Pokemon that give Cresselia and the rest of this team trouble, while Spikes and Thunder Wave together make it possible for Pinsir (or Nidoqueen or Kabutops) to sweep. Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 248 HP / 192 Def / 52 SDef / 16 Spd Calm Nature - Psychic - Thunder Wave - Moonlight - Calm Mind I don't think I need to say much about Cresselia. It's the boss of RU right now, capable of walling a huge portion of the metagame. I decided to use the Calm Mind + Thunder Wave set, as paralysis support is critical for this team, and Durant and Escavalier are handled by Qwilfish and Nidoqueen so there's not much need for Hidden Power Fire. The 52 SpD EVs and Calm nature ensure Moltres will never 2HKO after Stealth Rock, the Speed is to beat Modest Omastar (and Adamant Crawdaunt, but trying to paralyze that is pretty risky), and the rest goes into physical bulk. Conclusion This was a very fun team to use, but I'm ready to move on and try something new, so I'm giving other people a chance to use the manliest bug in the world. One final piece of advice for those who planning to use this team: beware of opposing SD Pinsir! No seriously, this team is hilariously weak to Pinsir.

Brief Synopsis
Critical thinkers analyze and refine ideas underpinning the foundation of American defense policy and military strategy today so the defense community can apply them in strategy and force development. This is an ongoing process: new ideas emerge, are tested, and adopted, revised, or discarded. The author challenges some of the accepted notions that have become foundational to contemporary theories of military transformation. In his view, any endeavor as resource-intensive as military transformation is too important to rest on uncontested truths.

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 173 reviews
Stayed in this hotel for two nights. Called prior to check in and was able to get an earlier check in time and reserve a refrigerator. The front desk was always prompt and helpful. The pool was nice and my kids are teenagers. The beds were comfortable and the hotel was packed but never seemed to be loud.
A great place to stay with the kids. They love the continental breakfast. It's simple, but fun for the kids. Dinged one level of "condition" due to the pool being on the cold side.
The price I was charged by the hotel was 20% higher than the Hotels.com quote, but I called Hotels.com and the issue was resolved in less than 24 hours. I figured I would be stuck with the additional cost, but I was refunded the overage.
Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Hot tub was broke and breakfast bar was stale. Individual staff were pleasant but seemed like an institutional lack of effort. Good place to sleep but that's it.
Stayed here to take my son skiing. Overall it was a great hotel. Breakfast area was way too small- had to fight for a seat on Sunday but there were good options. There was a group staying for a boys wresting event which meant tons of kids running around and screaming in the pool area. A little much at times, but overall I'd stay here again and recommend.

Historical Traveler Reviews Grazia Hotel Sperlonga
Great boutique hotel at a great Quebec City location
My wife and I just returned from a weeklong vacation to Montreal and Quebec City, and we stayed at Hotel des Coutellier for one night after having spent a very disappointing previous night at the Hotel Belley located right next door. The Hotel des Coutellier is located only 2 blocks away from the train station, and is within 10 minute walking distance to all the tourist sites in upper as well as lower Quebec City (like the Chateau Frontenac, museums, restaurants, shops, etc). The room is very clean (they renovated this hotel about 2 years ago) and the front desk staff was very nice and helpful. The free breakfast is delivered to your room in a basket (hanging outside of your door) in the morning, and it included juice boxes, yogurts, croissants, and muffins for two. Very nice touch indeed! The Hotel des Coutellier has a business center that has a computer with internet connection for guest use, or if you have a laptop with wireless capability, high speed wifi is free! We would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again.
Very Nice Hotel
A wonderful hotel! We were planning a 3-day trip to Quebec City and made reservations to stay at the Hotel Des Coutellier. Well it was an excellent choice, the room we had 305 was a corner room and it was very light and airy as it had 4 windows in it. Everything in the room was clean and comfortable. Each morning there was a nice basket outside the door with a nice assortment of breads, yogurts and juice, which was just enough to start our day. Any requests that we had were done with quick promptness and the staff was very pleasant and more than willing to accommodate any request that we had. All in all a very nice place located just outside the old city, and very close to the antique shops and some very nice local restaurants. Would definitely stay there again when visiting Quebec City.
Recommend It!
I thought this hotel was great and very resonably priced. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. It is very close to the bus/train station and perfect location to the sights. Just remember most things are uphill from this hotel! Breakfast is also great - loved that it was just outside the door.
Romantic 4 Day Get-away
My new husband and I took a romantic get-away and Hotel des Coutellier was the perfect place to stay (especially for the price). The small hotel offered great hospitality and attention to our needs. The breakfast picnic basket that is delivered to your door early morning is a fabulous touch - yogurt, muffin, croissant, orange juice box, butter, and jam. We looked forward to this every morning. You can make your own coffee or tea in your room. There's a fresh fruit basket in the lobby at your leisure - perfect for a healthy snack. The soap and shampoo (no conditioner - so bring your own if you need it) are from Fruits & Passion (eco-friendly bath products), which has stores in Canada, France, Switzerland, and Hong Kong, are lovely. The 3 desk attendants that we have encountered were extremely helpful and spoke English with a French accent. The doors are a bit thin - but the noise is tolerable when people are walking by and talking or letting the door slam. But the hallways are small enough that the guests exit quickly. The hotel is right outside the old city walls - walking is a pleasure (though you must walk uphill to get there, but coming back to the hotel is easier). The streets are quiet and safe (aside from morning and evening "rush hour").
Here's a few pointers: At check in, park your car on the side street for the time being because the hotel parking is across the street - which the hotel will give you date stamped parking stubs (C$9/night) to put on your dashboard. We paid C$7 to park our car for 10 minutes in another lot and then had to move it to the designated hotel lot. There's complimentary internet use - better than sending postcards! Moss - the Belgian restaurant attached to the hotel - has a great deal for mussels and frites (fries) - about C$22 for unlimited mussels served 14 different ways. I had the steak in dijon mustard, salad, and frites for C$20 - very tasty. L'Astral restaurant on top of Lowe's hotel - excellent - make reservations!!! (The coffee is excellent there.) It was fun to see the the 360 view while eating. If you go to Quebec City in the spring before high season, plan your day accordingly - some restaurants are not open, many stores close earlier, and the museums are closed on Mondays. Maison Jean Alfred (the oldest grocery store in North America) is outside of the old city walls and is much like Zabar's in NYC (but fun to browse in). Erico Chocolatier has Chipotle Dark Chocolate - yum!
Amazing for the Price!
We recently stayed at Hotel Des Coutellier during the Winter Carnaval and we were throughly impressed with the attention to detail and service we receieved during our stay.
Yummy Fruits & Passions toiletries were a notch above the usual bland hotel soaps/lotions. Breakfast in a mini picnic basket hung next to your door was also a great litte touch, which included: Croissants, Juice, Yogurt, Muffins. All you ever needed to get going in the morning! The complimentary coffee brand they used could use a little work. There is also a mini-bar in your room, we also had a flat screen tv, dvd player and VCR! We brought movies with us to watch on a laptop, so this was a great surprise. For the price you're paying, you're getting great value!
Bathrooms were clean and NEW! Internet access was available if you had your own laptop for a fee.
Location was good too. There's an Esso station near by, so you can fill up on cheap beer and snacks instead of the mini-bar. Shopping, Chateau Frontenac were all in close walking distance. I really enjoyed my stay at this cute boutique hotel.
Recommend Hotel Des Coutellier
We (my aunt and I) stayed here for 5 days at the end of January 2005 for Winter Carnival. The hotel, located right outside the wall in lower town, was wonderful. Friendly staff, big room, big bathroom, robes, towel-warming racks, fluffy comforters. They had put us in a room with a queen bed, and at first they said it would be extra to get a room with 2 beds, so my aunt and I decided we could share (why not, right?). We didn't think anything about it, and as the desk manager handed us the keys, he said "I gave you a room with 2 beds, no extra charge". Thanks! Breakfast in a basket is hung on a hook outside your door every morning - and we really enjoyed this. Croissants, muffins, yogurt, clementines, OJ, we never ate lunch before 2pm! Highly recommend!
Great place!
This hotel is lovely - with its boutique feel but reasonable prices it offers really great value. The rooms are nicely furnished, with new and modern furniture (my room also had an exposed brick wall - very cozy). The bathrooms are very modern and very clean. The staff is friendly and ready to give advice about the town's tourist attractions and the nearby ski resorts. The breakfast delivered to the room's door every morning is very convenient as it can be consumed whenever you wake up. The hotel is located in the Old Port area which is very close to Vieux Quebec (the old city) and makes for easy exploring. There are also nice restaurants in this area, and again, the staff is happy to recommend some. Overall, a truly plesant experience and I would not hesitate to stay here again.
Unique and convenient
On a "run out" trip to Quebec to visit Universite Laval, I needed a hotel that allowed easy connections both train station and campus, but still allowed me to soak in as much of the city as could be had in 36 hours. I also wanted to stay somewhere that felt intimate and Canadian; I can find Marriotts and Sheratons at home. Hotel des Coutelliers fit my criteria perfectly. The rooms were cozy and unique, and the staff attentive. Breakfast in a basket, complete with handwritten weather report, was an added treat! I'd stay here again and again.
Québec's Little-Known Secret
Don't miss a chance to experience Qu�bec hospitality at its finest. L'Hot�l des Coutellier is a lodging recommended by L'Auberge L'autre Jardin when the latter had no vacancy, and my wife was in Qu�bec on business. Not only has she stayed there on subsequent business trips to Qu�bec City, but we have also vactioned there. Upon arrival, the management greeted us BY NAME, and took very good care of us and our daughter (not yet one year old). The accommodations are clean and first-rate; the service is exceptional. The location: just a few steps from the train station, and (in our case) a short stroller ride from the old city made this accommodation absolutely perfect. The discreet continental style breakfast was nice (better croissants are to be had at the Ch�teau Versailles in Montr�al, but these were very good). We have stayed at other boutique hotels in Qu�bec City, but will return to the H�tel des Coutellier because of the personal touch evidenced by the staff.
A great little place
I must start off by saying that this was our first stay at a boutique type hotel. We had reserved the presidential suite for one night. The room was very nice with a king size bed, a sofa, a seperate shower with body jets and a wirlpool type bath.The breakfast is included and comes in a basket at your door with croissants, muffins, fruits and yogourt. The hotel is located in front of the gare and is at the entrance of VIEUX QU� BEC. We wanted to stay for a second night but the suite was not available. The manager even tried to get us a suite in another hotel but the price didnt fit our budget. We decided to stay in one of the regular rooms with a king size bed for the second night.We had taken the gourmet cuisine package which included a 5 course meal at the french restaurant l'� chaudé (very good by the way). Our first experience in a small hotel was a great one and we can't wait to go back. Having called several hotels in Quebec city before booking I believe this to be a great deal.

Travel Blogs from Quebec City
Quelle surprise au Québec!
... Qu�bec City is over 400 years old and is the only North American city with fortified walls that are still intact. C'est magnifique!
And what a beautiful and very French looking city it is too, with it's chateau's, gothic spires, fountains and baroque townhouses.
Mmm... we could smell zee wine and cheese from the minute we walked through the city gates. ...
... on the lookout for a beanie with a peak so our sightseeing is interrupted by the occasional stop at promising looking stores. We even went down to the old port that now has big ships tied up and watched the pack ice on The St. Lawrence River start to break up as the temperature soars. Sioux thought a coffee for her and tea (if I'm lucky) for me would be good idea and also we're about due for a thawing out. We find this little pastry and chocolate shop and they even ...

... distance!
On this flight we are all sitting together at the back of the plane and it is really fun! In a couple hours we will be meeting our host families! I am really excited, apparently I am with a cute old couple!
Alright, I am getting a headache from writing on the plane! Everything is great, the cold that has been circling around our group is almost gone so soon my cold should go away!

... I could barely see. Reading road signs while in motion was extremely difficult. Sitting on the bike underneath an overpass, soaking wet right through, I searched for a place to sleep. I must have been quite the sight coming up to the front desk. Once checked in, the process of drying began. I ran the room's HVAC unit in heating mode for a while, then in cooling mode so I could actually be in there. I knew that there were going to be ...

Needless to say, it was US Airways and of course in another terminal! After poor Patrick dragging two big, heavy suitcases behind him with his backpack, doing a little jog out in the NY cold, and me with the smaller suitcase, we finally get ...

I am using a plugin from Modern Tribe called Community Events and it works in tandem with Modern Tribe's Event Calendar Pro. Anyway, the Recent Posts Widget works fine on every page EXCEPT the ones which are using the Community Events plugin... this plugin creates a submission form that people can use to submit events to our calendar. The form is content is generated by a file titled edit-events.php. I have gone through this with a fine tooth comb and have added the following code to the bottom of the page:
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
Unfortunately, this has had no effect. The folks at Modern Tribe will not help me. I would use a seperate template for the submission form (omitting the recent blog posts plugin for that single page), BUT I can't as you can only use one page template for both the submission form and the main calendar pages. I am not sure where I should begin...
Here is the page that is "messing-up" (for lack of a better term):
Notice that on the regular calendar pages the plugin works fine:
Here is the code for the file that creates the submission form:
Here is the template I am using for these event pages:
I don't think it is this template file though since the calendar pages use this template as well and the plugin works fine on those pages.
