Location was perfect. Rooms looked dated, renovations in the Lobby
Check in staff was friendly and met my request Lobby looked nice Location was close to coral gables downtown and shopping area. Also close to airport Old - needs some renovation but it's definitely good enough to stay in Room was semi-humid Every time I got on an elevator, it wouldn't close. I had to get off, then I learned to press the reset button. Older nice building with needed upgrades
I had a King bed room for one night, and the room was spotless, with a clean and well equipped bathroom, as well as a very comfortable bed. The size of the room was perfect. The hotel is extremely well maintained, in despite of not being a new structure. The location is ideal, not too far from the airport. For the rate I paid, and the quality of treatment I received, I find it a bargain. I will make the Hyatt my place to stay when visiting Miami for a couple of nights, instead of staying near the airport. The best of the hotel, however, is the staff: courteous, amicable, sincerely willing to assist you in any problem. That makes the difference quite often.
Food was okay, the pool was fine but had too mich clorox They did not specify the check out time and they charged me additional 50$ to check out when I had already paid through expedia 140$ the night. The front desk lady had told me that no additional cost were going to be made, but when I got to my final destination I saw my credit card being charged 50$
Old hotel, musty smell throughtout
The hotel was nice and staff was very friendly. There are lots of restaurants and shops within a 5 minute walk. I would definitely stay here again. Parking was very expensive. We opted for the valet vs. the self park as there was only a small difference. Valet service was lovely. No complimentary beach towels at the pool.
Located walking distance from great restaurants and shopping. Clean, comfortable rooms with a great 5th floor pool!
The hotel itself and its quiet and green surroundings. Pool is excellent. The awful and inadequate service at The Fontana Restaurant in the hotel
Our daughter's fairy tale wedding reception was held here two years ago. My husband and I promised ourselves that we would return for our own romantic stay. We were not disappointed and loved every minute - the luxury, pampering, beautiful grounds, wonderful food. A dream come true!
We love the history, the architecture and the location. We looked forward to this our entire lives! The overall experience was not good. There were no good options for casual dining. Just poolside, with a very limited menu and LOTS of cigar smoke OR the golf club, totally undesirable very man club-ish. We ended up ordering a very pricey pizza and very mediocre Caesar salad in the room. Forget a glass of wine for room service, it was $19.There was grime in the shower exhaust fan and mold on the ceiling shower. ewwww! Some of the property was in disrepair.
The rich history of the hotel. No coffee maker in the room.
The hotel itself is very special and very beautiful. It is a completely unique property, one that is a welcome break from all the chains. Both the food and the service at the restaurants were outstanding. Though nearly everything at the hotel was 4-5 star, the room itself was about a 3 star. It was bland and the quality of the bed, furnishings, towels, decor, etc. seemed cheap.
Gracious, pleasant, relaxing -- just what I needed after a very busy summer. . I would have liked a simpler, less complicated breakfast.
The Biltmore is a wonderful hotel with plenty of amenities and lovely food and service. I was welcomed with a glass of champagne - how wonderful is that?
champagne sunday brunch nothing
Love the ambiance and staff service. Great place to stay. Not being able to eat breakfast at cascade during the week. Cascade menu should have more choices.
The staff were great --- the food in most of the venues (except for the pool area) was outstanding. Very enjoyable We have previously always stayed in Miami Beach. The Biltmore is a bit out of the way in Coral Gables. I would recommend it to those with a car, but not so much to those who don't have this option as it is expensive to get around by cabs. The Biltmore does offer a car service for within Coral Gables, but it was often not available. Also, the difference between a regular hotel room and the Junior or Executive suite in my estimation is not worth the extra amount. It would only be worth it if you upgraded to a full suite.
This is probably the most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed in, with European elegance at a reasonable price. We had a delicious meal at the "Fontana" restaurant, and the hotel staff was generally excellent. It is the architectural centerpiece of the Coral Gables neighborhood, and within a short drive of "Miracle Mile" shopping. Oh, and self-parking is free! The room was a bit small, but the view was worth it!
The structure itself architecuturally is a delight. The service upon arrival was first class and it was a joy to navigate it's various facilities.
This place is very fancy, clean, quiet(even though we booked while restorations were being done). It's a like a secluded get away. I loved staying here. The staff and security were very friendly and always spoke when you pass by. You have to pay to park even though you're a guest at the hotel and if you plan on going in and out it cost you more then the overnight $24 fee so if you plan on going out in your car I suggest planning it into your trip.
Conveniently located, for malls shopping, restaurants, night life, conventions, 24-hour gym facility, choice for valet and non-valet parking, etc. business center not part of the hotel when personal laptop/notebook not available for use.
Daniel on the evening shift was so very nice with all my questions re: my maltese. He went out of his way to help me. I so appreciated the kind and courteous treatment I received during my 2 day stay while working in Bal Harbour and Coral Gables. Thanks to each and every one of your staff. Leona
the rooms are very spacious and the hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. the charge for Wifi in your room when Wifi in the lobby is for free.
Everything and everyone was extremely professional. I enjoyed my stay.
very confortable
Nice location easy walking distance to what is needed. Paid for internet, sheets were like sand paper.
The location of the hotel was excellent and the service and amenities were wonderful.
Not much.The staff for the most part was pretty rude
very comfortable beds and linens; good size room; concierge
Clean, good service nothing
Five star service and accomodations. Room was upgraded to the Starwood's freuqent guest floor. Fabulous hotel. A little confusing to find the hotel lobby and elevators. Hotel is mixed with commercial offices
good hotel
25min bus ride to the hotel. Maintenance underway. Ltd choice of restaurant options.
Flies on the balcony, room 1240.
I enjoyed the stay although short. I did not stay long enough to determine.
Location, Location, Location! Really close to all the malls!
The hotel was convenient for the airport and the room and beds were very comfortable. The late evening snack we had was very nice but expensive for what it was. The breakfast was also expensive.
The walk around the jogging track was immense and coupled with the water feature of the Blue Lagoon made our holiday all the better. The grounds of the hotel I found very private. No complaints
somewhat in need of a renovation
It was a very comfortable place to stay - especially for the price that booking.com got us. Wonderful pool, a great little walk out onto the point for a view with relaxing music playing along the way. Lots of flora and fauna. The room was very nice and the bed very comfortable. Wish we'd been able to stay longer. We were there for one night before our cruise. The shuttle was great to the hotel and we got a taxi to the ship. The food was expensive, but the atmosphere was great.
Spacious room, good pool and public areas, a place to slow down and relax. Close to highway and downtown (must have car). Hotel will rip you. They leave some water bottles on the room and charge almost 4$ for each, problem is that I found the Price on a tag with some green sayings on the las day and a lot of bottles later. Charge 54$ for a 1 minute int. Call? Cmon! The price for the room itself is good but I felt stolen.
It was close to the airport
The staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was not what I booked but it was just an overnight stay so I didn't make a fuss. The bathtub paint was chipped and it was so cold. The air never got warm so I just took it off and layered up. Breakfast was really expensive.
Bar, bedroom Parking
The check in line was super long when we arrived so we went out to dinner. When we got back it was peaceful. Staff was nice. Decor was modern. Beds were soft. Room was quiet. Very nice stay. Needs free coffee in the lobby in the morning.
The staff is very helpful and professional... Excellent service... The dining room could be a little bit more cleaner...
Nothing Front desk rude and not interested in help
Clean rooms and modern feel Not much parking. Valet is not free and over priced. Right across the street from airport so expect some noise. Not much but some.
The view was wonderful. The bed was extremely comfortable. The employees were helpful and the shuttle service was really useful. The shower was not very big and there was no hook or rod to hang up my used towel.
I liked the price I didn't like the fact that I was charged to park my vehicle. The bathroom had hair in it that was not mine and when I called the first desk she said she would have someone come clean it and no one came.
price and location Bathroom and shower was in bad shape. tile and grout was black and the shower on /off lever was broken and very hard to use . But worse was the black mold in the white tiles and grout. Just a little spraying of clorix would have done the job
Close to the airport with readily available shuttle service. Nice views of adjacent gold course.
Could not get room service. No free internet No wake up call
Rooms were comfortable, clean, and we had a nice view of the golf course. The airport shuttle and location made this a perfect start to our vacation.
Great Location overlooking the intercoastal and so convenient to American Airlines Arena. The Hotel is beautiful and the staff is friendly and very helpful. Breakfast buffet was excellent. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Miami. There was nothing that we didn't like!
Nice modern clean facility. Great rooms. Hour long wait in the business center just to collect a package.
The friendly staff. Amber who checked me in gave me a higher floor so that I could enjoy the view of the city. The view was amazing.
Restautant, room comfort, service
Location to cruise terminal. $ 43.00 a night to park your car. Ridiculously expensive.
Best hotel I have ever stayed at. It was amazing the restaurant Toro Toro was awesome. Everyone was so nice and on the 18th floor we had such a great view of the city!
My room was ready when I arrived.
Staff Room Location
good location near cruise ship terminal. full beds are quite small. Queens would be better. Expensive parking. Just "OK" restaurant.
Loved the room service, cleanliness, everything was delivered on time. Perfect location. Absolutely amazing. The paid parking is a bit of a pain in the neck
Nothing. Smells bad and the rooms are not clean as expected Smelly lobby, rude front desk dirty rooms
I was in town for a conference, and the staff were wonderfully helpful, the room was quite nice, and the hotel amenities were great. A nice alternative and well worth the cost
Location Bathroom was not maintained. Tub was plugged and shower needs to be replaced.
it was convenient to the Whole Foods and the bed was comfortable. decor was dated and drab air conditioner was not reliable noisy noisy noisy at the pool you can smell grease and smog
Nice hotel Mold in bathroom and do not validate parking
Outdated rooms/bathroom
Not much Pool next to very busy highway
Loved the location of hotel. Was able to walk to diffent places without having to drive. Staff was very friendly and helpul. Greeted you with a smile at all times. Room was clean and really nice view. This was my first time visiting Miami and I didn't like the fact that the hotel doesn't offer free parking like in other places I've stayed at. Seems this is everywhere in Miami. The phone in the room didn't work and was not even connected. I tried to connect it to the wall outlet, but there was no dial tone.
Ambiance was good. Staff was courteous. Breakfast was excellent. No clear direction in the parking garage. No coffee maker in the room, only 2 pack of ground coffee, how do I make coffee without hot water and coffee maker? We booked a king size bed and there was only ONE pillow on the bed. How can I be a king with only one pillow?!
Proximity to bayfront park and American Airlines Arena while costing significantly less than competitors. If you don't mind walking 6 minutes and want to save $100, this may be for you. The feel of the hotel is a bit old. Old school card scanners on doors, carpet a bit dated, but still clean. Under an airport route, but what hotel downtown isn't? Lower floors will hear traffic.
Suit was really nice and not expensive
Beautiful hotel. The staff was very accommodating Temporary fitness center
The views were pretty nice. The room was comfortable, except for the constant racket of music, construction and traffic, not to mention the binging from the elevator Super noisy. Disorganized. Staff not very helpful Somewhat snobby clientele.
friendly staff, fast service, when i did not answer the door ring (i did not ask for anything), the service people opened the door, and this happened twice and once at 2AM!!! the door was locked, it was really a shock in such a hotel. why does someone open your room when in locked\privacy mode at 2 am and you have never asked for something?? i really felt unsafe in such a hotel.
Everything Breakfast not icluded in the price.
This hotel is really good one. I liked it very much and I passed good time in it. However, my phone was stolen from my room but the responsible is interested in it. I had left it in the room but when I came back it was not there. This was a serious problem that must be solved.
large and comfortable room, luxury bathroom, great service in every area: from the swimming pool here you get towel, drinks, and magazine, to the courtesy cocktails. Thay will make anything they can to make a pleasure of your stay. Intelligent luxury, great value for money. not easy to park in the area - it's almost compulsory to use the valet service
The location. The views the staff Area 31 bar night Service was not good
All greeted with asmile and the will help you any way the can No tea in rooms
Rooms and great balconies Health club closed
Hotel staff addressed us by first and last names. Incredibly friendly and genuine. Restaurant was excellent..intimate and personal attention. The food was amazing as well. Pools relaxing and service prompt.
cooperation of staff and facilities
Closeness to airport and Coral Gables. Pleasant common areas and spacious rooms, all at a very reasonable price. Nice view on the backside (= poolside) of the hotel. Huge private parking lot, at 8usd/day.Helpful and friendly staff. None, other than that rooms may now be about due for refreshing, but not in a way to really complain about
The category of the Hotel and all the sataff.
The staff was above and beyond wonderful!! Very nice, clean accommodations, and beautiful pool. Great location! Overall a lovely hotel. Only downside is the only place to purchase water or soft drink was the bar. They charged us $4.00 for a small aluminum can of Sprite.
Proximity to airport and shuttle. Friendlyness of staff.
Good service and nice staff.
Availability of gym with 24 hour access; shuttle service to the airport no standard provision of coffee makers in rooms
Able to take our pet with us and being a few minutes away from the miami International Airport. Personnel is great and services are good. Great customer services... None
Atmosphere Not alot of pillows per bed mattress not firm enough
Nothing The staff was rude from the moment I walked in the door until the moment we left. They made jokes at my expense because it took me forever to get up the stairs since I'm pregnant. I booked two rooms but they didn't one of them available at 6pm (3 hours after check-in time). After sorting that mess out, we got stuck in the elevator which terrified my daughter. To make it worse the staff was giggling as we called for assistance. Upon entering one of the rooms, there was a large brown wet stain in the center of the room. When we called to complain the front desk said that we should be happy that they upgraded us to $600 a night room since our other room wasn't ready. We just asked them to clean it but they said most of housekeeping had left so it would be awhile. Even the staff at the coffee shop was rude in the morning when we asked how long it would take to order anything but black coffee because of the rest of the menu wasn't ready two hours after their opening time. Overall it was a terrible experience. The hotel is rundown but its the staff that made sure that I would never use this hotel again
Friendly helpful staff. Delicious food in restaurant and bar. Lovely pool area.
Friendlyness of the staff good service
Bedden zijn super en kamer was zeer ruim en proper. Elke 30 min gratis transfer naar vliegveld dat echt vlakbij is. Zwembad gezellig en rustig Taxi naar South Beach kost ~30$, hou daar, maar als je vlak bij vliegveld wil zijn is de ligging perfect. Liften waren oud en 2/3 waren tijdens ons verblijf buiten werking. Echter geen reden om hier weg te blijven. De bedden maakten alles goed!
Clean rooms. Friendly staff. No balconys.
Rooms were large, with comfortable bedding, and ample closet, but bathroom could use a bit more space. For the location just a couple of blocks from Alhambra Circle and Coral Way, and easily accessible to MIA, the rates are a great value. Found and killed a tiny cockroach as soon as we walked in the room. Common in Miami, and didn't see any others indoors afterwards, but didn't give a good first impression. Otherwise, they'd have gotten a higher rating.
The room was spacious with open bathroom; the balcony was great and the design nice and calm. the room service is not 24/7, the spa was closed for refurbishment
The gym the view the food and drinks and the poolside service was spectacular. Late maid service.
Nice ambience and services. Excellent food.
The staff was mostly helpful and always had a smile on their face. The lobby is among the most beautiful spaces I have ever seen in a hotel The rooms are clean and spacious Love the pool and jaqcuzzi. The man made beach was a nice touch You definitely pay for what you get. Expect to lay out a pretty penny Pool side service was a little spotty. At one point my wife and I had to wait 15 min for a towel and chairs despite the area being fairly empty (this was after speaking with two staff members) on another occasion we waited 20 min for someone to ask for our orders. There was a stain on the seating area in the room. Do not know what it was, however definitely expect more from a hotel of this caliber. Our view from the room was absolutely gorgeous, but the balcony was too small to fit chairs on. Note this appears to be only on a small section of rooms so be weary about this.
We were impressed by the service, which is really outstanding. The beach island is really nice, it's a pitty there is no entrance in water. The view is great. The food was average. We had few dinners at the hotel and it was quite expensive, but so-so.
Even though looking from the outside the building looks kind of old, its inside view looks amazing, as the rooms and hallways.
Great Staff, great view, very clean, i mean they clean the rooms twice a day, the staff is the best part of this hotel. Will stay there 100000 more times. The food and parking are not cheap, $40 per day just to park and the breakfast will cost u some $$. Needs a fridge in the room, it's miami.
Very nice rooms and staff were great. View from rooms was also very nice.
Door staff and reception were very competent.
Great hotel, nice rooms and helpful staff. Valet parking too expensive.
The hotel is very well appointed: from the lobby to common areas and, most notable the rooms. Everything is clean, crisp and well conceived and executed.
Rooms are spacious and beautifully done--esp. the bathroom. Huge TV. I like the location for downtown - great for walking. Lobby sparce, chaotic and unwelcoming. Valet was told it would be 20 min., but it was not that long. Event was happening , so lots of arrivals and tight spot to get a lot of cars coming and going.
Facilities Towels
We stayed three nights for our anniversary and we had an amazing time. The rooms are very modern and clean with super views over the bay amd the city. The staff was very friendly wherever you run into them. Walking distance to lots of activities (boat rides, jer skis, American Airlines arena, restaurants, etc..) highly recommended!!!
The rooms are amazing, well appointed, loved the bed! Service is top notch too Long wait for the valet, call early!
I loved everything about it, great service, nice people, the room was nice and perfect, and it had a perfect view, it was great and if I ever go back to miami, I would know where to go and stay.
as soon as I arrive with a reservation, they told me that they were full and I didn't have a room in that hotel so they change me to another Marriott
Luxurious accommodations, incredible views. Room service was very good. Valet parking always seems to be the weak link at many hotels. Nothing horrific, just not up to the standard represented at this property.
The facilities were all wonderful. The views spectacular. The pool area and gym are outstanding. Parking is way too expensive. I had a problem with the television set in the bathroom, the remote simply would not work. I asked for help on this three times and each time they could send someone to turn it on but they could never tell me how to turn it on.
The wifi didn't seem to work, luckily I was close enough to the lobby to use that.
The hotel was very luxurious, mable lobbies, marble bathrooms. Beautiful views of Miami bay. One could have lived in the bathoon it was so big and plush. The room service menu was expensive, however we were not too surprised at this as the hotel was definately upmarket & luxurious
The service at four seasons is exceptional in every area. An amazing experience. Everything was perfect
Amazing staff, great dinning
Front Desk staff made great accommodation for my early arrival and made quite sure I was well taken care of. Restuarant breakfast of Corned Beef Hash & Eggs was spectacular.
Professional and courteous staff, wonderful bedlinens, large well- equipped bathrooms, extremely quiet hotel. Outside a large, nicely warm pool. Remember this is not a beach hotel, you are among the skyscraper financial buildings on Brickell Av but the service is outstanding as are the views and there are plenty of good restaurants/cafes in the area.
The service was amazing. Everyone from the front desk to the valet to the gift shop clerk were all about service. N/a
Location is excellent. Hotel is located walking distance from great restaurants and shopping. Located in the heart of Brickell. We checked in on Thursday for a special birthday "stay-cation". I was under the impression that this was a five star facility, but the room we were placed in and the service we received was far from five star quality. Within hours of our check in, the bathroom sink clogged up. My husband and i went to dinner and asked for maintenance to come to our room while we were gone. When we returned, it appeared that someone had come to fix it. However, within 30 minutes, the sink was clogged up again. We called the front desk and at 11:15 p.m. two maintenance men came into our room with a shot-vac to attempt to fix the problem. A shot-vac. At this point, the proper thing to do would have been for the hotel to offer to switch our rooms. Instead, we bore the sound of the vacuum and the maintenance crew for about 15 minutes. When one of the maintenance men was done, he said he would be back up in 30 minutes to see if it was fixed. It was almost 11:30 p.m. at this point! My husband told him not to bother returning. Not shockingly, in the morning the sink was still not working and now the toilet was backing up. I was appalled and embarrassed that I had booked this hotel for my husband's birthday. I went to the front desk to check out and aired my grievances. I spoke to a supervisor/manager that was there. He offered us a free breakfast that I said we would accept but then the manager took it back and said, "Well, actually it's past breakfast time." He offered to give us drinks at the bar instead. I could not have walked out fast enough. I was SO disappointed with this experience and spent the rest of the weekend trying to make it up to my husband (who has been ever-patient)!
The construction of the shower lead to water pooling up at the shower door and seeping out into the bathroom.
rooms were nice, comfortable, location was good for what we were doing Found what appeared to be a pubic hair in our room service food. We did not eat the food and would not eat in the restaurant. We both stepped on glass shards while sitting at the pool. We brought it to the attention of the spa staff who shrugged it off..
Really nice hotel with good location and amenities. Got a great deal. Some areas of the hotel are looking old and may need to be revamped.
The location, the size and quality of the room and bathroom, the courtesy and skill of the staff. We liked it. We'll come back.
Location and pool. Dirty pool, dirty spa, dirty room, expensive forn nothing. Even the holiday inn has a slepers and more clean the bathroom and bedroom. The closet was broken, and they gave us a room for special capabilities i dont know why.
Flight left me and I Sent them Proof from American Air Lines Then they promised me to re-booking amount, week left and did not recover the amount Whenever I tried to contact them A person who on the counter Transfer my calls to The Department Competent and No one answers no one call me back again ..... they are thieves
I stayed at the Ritz Carlton, Key Biscayne with my best girlfriend and it was one of our favorite weekends together thanks to the Ritz! Everything from the valet service to the gorgeous pools and landscape were perfect. Truly a five star experience and I will definitely be returning in the future.
Cioppino for dinner was overrated and overrpriced (for the quality of food served) - chocolate ice cream dessert was a big disappointment - staff was incredibly accommodating and courteous however, which compensated somewhat. breakfast buffet was great as well.
Great new Spa
We usually stay in 4 star hotels and chose Holiday Inn due to its proximity to UM. This was one of the best stays we have had at any hotel. The staff is very friendly and professional. The room was very clean (this is the first time I left a generous tip as I usually expect a clean room), as well as everything else in it and the rest of the hotel. The breakfast was casual, the waiters friendly and the food was very good. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The air conditioner was a bit noisy
comfortable bed, clean room
loved it everything buttttt the 24 hour menu was horrible not enough selections for the price i paid. need to offer complimentary breakfast.
Best bathroom ever. Fun electronics in room. Great breakfast.

The potato is the most popular vegetable we eat. But four out of every ten spuds that leave the farm ends up on our plates as chips. So instead of a fat free, 220 calorie baked potato, we get a large order of McDonalds fries, with 450 calories and 22g of fat - that is as much artery-clogging fat as a Quarter Pounder!
So why do we love chips so much? The reason is simply the fat content. Fat makes any food more appetising and pleasing, it gives the food a better consistency and if deep fried, gives that crispiness that we all love so much. So, what can we do about it?
First things first - do not go to your favourite fast food restaurant so frequently. A serving of fries has nearly twice as many calories than those sensibly cooked in your own oven at home.
Potatoes are actually one of the most versatile vegetables you can get - so experiment. Try mashing the potatoes with herbs or leafy vegetables like spinach or cabbage to make colcannon. Why not try making some of your own potato wedges, sprinkled with spices and simply roasted in the oven - there are plenty of ideas below. To be really exotic, use sweet potatoes once in a while - they're low Gi too!
There are plenty of healthy options out there, quite a few already sitting on your supermarket shelf. But the simplest, cheapest and healthiest way to eat a potato is to bake it yourself (1-1½ hours at 200 C). This leaves your potato crispy on the outside and steamy on the inside. With a dollop of low fat cottage cheese or some tangy tomato salsa – what more could you ask for?
But if you really need to give in to that craving, then get rid of the deep fat fryer and grab the low fat healthier oven chips! Remember to read the packets you pick up and look at both the calorie and fat content. Try to go for oven chips with a content of less than 5% - a serving of these will save you almost 20g fat and 200 calories, compared to the deep-fried version.Crispy potato wedges
1 medium or 2 small potatoes (100-120g)
1 ½ tsp olive oil
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Wash potatoes but do not peel. Cut into wedges and place in an oven-proof bowl or roasting dish. Pour over oil and toss well, ensuring all wedges are coated lightly in oil. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until wedges are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Why not sprinkle the potatoes with spices or herbs before baking? Try one of these varieties and remember, you won't need any added salt:
· ¼ tsp each of cumin, garam masala and coriander powder; serve with natural yoghurt dip
· ¼ tsp each of garlic powder, basil and oregano; serve with cottage cheese or extra light cream cheese
· ½ tsp curry powder; serve with mango chutney and natural yoghurt
· ½ tsp chilli powder; serve with salsa and low fat fromage frais
· try using a flavoured oil such as chilli, herb or garlic oil
Serves one
Nutritional information: 126kcal and 4.2g fat per serving.Monster mash
1 medium or 2 small floury potatoes (100-120g)
2 tbs skimmed milk
1 ½ tsp olive oil or 10g very low fat spread
Peel the potatoes, chop into regular-sized chunks and boil for around 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash the potatoes, adding milk and oil or margarine. Beat until smooth.
Why not vary this mash by adding a good spoonful of wholegrain mustard, chopped fresh parsley (or any herb, really), chopped spring onions or even cabbage. Mashing in another root vegetable such as turnip, parsnip or celeriac can also make an interesting change.

I never knew anything,
I've never believed in me,
I've never been given the chance to see,
Everything all around me, seems to die,
Life, death and darkness, all but a lie.
The world around me, seems afraid.
I have become like them, the walking dead.
Born to follow, Chose to lead.
From the pain, I have been set free.
No one knows me, no one knows..
Where I will be, where I will go.
Not even me, I can't really see.
Blinded by the night,
I will not lose this fight.
I love to love, and to hate the hate.
Who is to say who chooses that fate?
I want to love, I want to care.
I want to be the one who is always there.
Even if to them they don't think it's fair..
I don't deserve my life, so I'll give it as a sword.
To fight the bad, and keep the word.
As a shield, to protect the weak.
To keep the lives whom those they seek.
My life but a tool for those who can't go.
My life but a light, so those can know.

Listen to Calvin Harris on iHeartRadio | Listen to Fatboy Slim on iHeartRadio
(WENN) - Calvin Harris, Fatboy Slim, and Example have backed a campaign to save one of London's most famous nightclubs from closure.
Bosses of the legendary Ministry of Sound venue have appealed for help as London's Mayor Boris Johnson decides whether to allow a new apartment block to be built nearby - a move which could force the club to close over noise regulations in residential areas.
A petition has been launched in a bid to sway Johnson's decision and it had reached more than 4,000 signatures on Friday.
Calvin Harris and Fatboy Slim have backed the campaign, and Example says of the drive, "If we don't stand up and save it, we will lose the true home of British dance music."
These are only three of many of feel this way. Check out what some others in the industry had to say:
Think of @ministryofsound not as a club, but as a dance music community center. It would be a shame for London to lose it. #savemosclub— Mat Zo (@mat_zo) February 1, 2013
Save this legendary club it has a lot more Smashing to do #Savemosclub— Like Mike (@likemike) February 1, 2013
I would be devastated if we could never share an open to close solo set at @ministryofsound ever again. #savemosclub— Markus Schulz (@MarkusSchulz) February 1, 2013
don't let Borris close down @ministryofsound #savemosclub youtube.com/watch?v=vhoP9g… please RT— Michael Woods (@michael_woods) January 31, 2013
PLEASE HELP #SAVEMOSCLUB: On 26.02 Boris Johnson may approve flats opposite @ministryofsound. Please RT #savemosclub! bit.ly/XUY3AK— Stealth Records (@stealthrecords) January 31, 2013
How can you rip out such a great club. Help everyone, we need @ministryofsound to stay! #savemosclub and RT! youtu.be/vhoP9gb4C-o— Laidback Luke (@LaidbackLuke) January 31, 2013
And that's only the tip of the iceberg, Watch the video they tweet to find out how you can get involved and save one of dance music's most cherished venues.

Some classic rock stylings will be reviewed for you this week.
D-A-D have unleashed 30 Years 30 Hits – Best of D-A-D 1984-2014 and it really does what it says on the cover. It a comprehensive 30-track, 2-CD compilation of the band in all their phases. This is quite the release that will have few fans complaining about its entirety. It is a good way for D-A-D fans to turn their vinyl digital if they haven't yet. Best known for their hit "Sleeping My Day Away" in the U.S., this release shows that the band is far more than just one slacker hit. This is great hard rock that deserves a second look from everyone.
Donnie Vie has released Goodbye: Enough Z'Nuff. It is a live album of Donnie Vie and friends doing Enuff Z'Nuff tracks we all know and love, from his Magical History Tour. In betwixt some of their best known tracks like "Fly High Michelle", Vie is prone to tell a few words about how the track came about. Unlike many such releases he keeps it short and sweet, letting the music do the talking. There is a long 45-chapter DVD of the tour as well. Sit back, relax and enjoy the great tunes you never admit to liking.
Twisted Sister have released You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll/Come Out and Play/Love Is for Suckers together in a 3-CD set. This is perfect for anyone who has the albums on vinyl and never upgraded to CD (or digital). There are some bonus tracks on Suckers. That last album was meant to be a Dee Snider solo album but the record company insisted it be under the TS name. It is the weakest of the three albums. The set serves a good catch-up for those who only have the hit heavy Stay Hungry and want to know the history of the classic New York rock band.
Stay safe and rocking out there people.

National Science Standards Reflect a Growing Anxiety on the Part of Evolution Advocates
Teach science critically -- except when it comes to evolution. In discussions of how to improve public school education in the U.S., that's the message that advocates of national science standards typically convey. Yet that wasn't always the case.
An article at Ars Technica recounts the development of the most recent set of proposed standards: the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), finalized in 2013. Ironically, teaching students to engage in scientific inquiry, rather than simply expecting them all to absorb the same "facts," was the main impetus.
NGSS began as separate projects of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and National Academies of Sciences (NAS). Their efforts were eventually merged and became the NGSS. John Timmer at Ars Technica writes:
Inspired by the visit of Halley's comet in the 1980s, the AAAS started Project 2061, an attempt to envision where the organization would like to see science literacy in the year the comet would return. Jo Ellen Roseman, Project 2061's Director, told Ars that the goal was to "characterize what the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind would constitute adult science literacy."
Instead of insisting on a "just the facts" approach, the AAAS focused on training young people to think like scientists. After all, the body of knowledge would change over the decades, but the process of scientific inquiry would not.
"While we had no idea what the world would be like, we could guarantee that it would be shaped by science, mathematics, and technology," Roseman said. "And therefore every citizen of the US, every high school graduate had to be literate in those fields."
... Driven by this concept, AAAS gathered scientists and educators to produce a document called Science for All Americans. This publication, while not a set of education standards, laid out the ideas they should contain. Written in prose, it describes basic facts about the Universe that people should know.But over half the document is focused on the nature of science, technology and math, the historic development of these fields, and the "habits of mind" essential for scientific literacy.
The NAS's National Research Council (NRC), meanwhile, produced its National Science Education Standards, with a similar emphasis:
"The NRC document took a very strong position about scientific inquiry," Roseman said. "It went beyond what kids should know and be able to do and really articulated what should be going on in classrooms. Students should be engaged in inquiry."
Exactly! At Discovery Institute, we advocate teaching the controversy about evolution. That is for several reasons. Students should learn the full range of evidence on evolution. Teaching the controversy aids in developing critical thinking. And it trains students to think like scientists. Jo Ellen Roseman's comments highlight a further advantage to this pedagogic strategy: that while the content of science may change, the process of scientific inquiry remains vital and valid.
The documents produced by the AAAS and NAS, Science for All Americans and the National Science Education Standards, are persuasive in explaining the importance of critical thinking. Science for All Americans notes:
In science classrooms, it should be the normal practice for teachers to raise such questions as: How do we know? What is the evidence? What is the argument that interprets the evidence? Are there alternative explanations or other ways of solving the problem that could be better? The aim should be to get students into the habit of posing such questions and framing answers.
Avoid Dogmatism
Students should experience science as a process for extending understanding, not as unalterable truth. This means that teachers take care not to convey the impression that they themselves or the textbooks are absolute authorities whose conclusions are always correct. By dealing with the credibility of scientific claims, the overturn of accepted scientific beliefs, and what to make out of disagreement among scientists, science teachers can help students to balance the necessity for accepting a great deal of science on faith against the importance of keeping an open mind.
The NAS document,
Students at all grade levels and in every domain of science should have the opportunity to use scientific inquiry and develop the ability to think and act in ways associated with inquiry, including...thinking critically and logically about relationships between evidence and explanations, constructing and analyzing alternative explanations, and communicating scientific arguments.
Building on this foundation, the set of current national science standards, the NGSS, agrees that critical analysis is important. The NGSS were developed in two phases. First, the National Academy of Sciences laid out the basic scientific information students should learn. Second, states worked together to develop specific grade-level standards. The document produced in the first phase,
Chief among these features [of science] is a commitment to data and evidence as the foundation for developing claims. The argumentation and analysis that relate evidence and theory are also essential features of science; scientists need to be able to examine, review, and evaluate their own knowledge and ideas and critique those of others. Argumentation and analysis include appraisal of data quality, modeling of theories, development of new testable questions from those models, and modification of theories and models as evidence indicates they are needed.
Major science journals also hold that inquiry is central to quality science education. Yet when it comes to evolution, the NGSS abruptly switch gears, rejecting inquiry-based learning and opting for dogmatism.
In middle school, we read, "students can analyze data from the fossil record to describe evidence of the history of life on Earth and can construct explanations for similarities in organisms. They have a beginning understanding of the role of variation in natural selection and how this leads to speciation."
In high school, students are to "demonstrate understanding of how multiple lines of evidence contribute to the strength of scientific theories of natural selection and evolution." This seems to be nearly the opposite of what Science for All Americans says:
Students should experience science as a process for extending understanding, not as unalterable truth. This means that teachers take care not to convey the impression that they themselves or the textbooks are absolute authorities whose conclusions are always correct.
It is inconsistent to oppose the freedom to critically analyze evolutionary thinking, while proclaiming that inquiry is the cornerstone of quality science education. The inconsistency, though, is not all that surprising. It's plainly defensive, a circling of wagons around a theory under increasing pressure from scientific criticisms. The NGSS reflect the anxious mood on the part of evolution defenders in the larger debate about origins.
Students deserve better. If we really want nationwide scientific literacy by the time Halley's comet returns in 2061, we should teach young people to question and analyze across the board, whether the context is biological origins or any other scientific field.

But today, it wasn't about me. A close friend of ours, Jenny Kennedy, lost her recurring battle with cancer at 8:30 this morning. We spent the day being with family and friends, and sharing stories about her life. I saw her just last night while I was helping my mother-in-law set up her brand new laptop (hence the cursing and crying about Windows, PC's, anti-virus and the like). Jenny got a huge kick out of my blunt, non-chalant method of informing just about anyone who would listen just how much I hated doing what I was doing, and was only doing it out of love.
My last moments with her, and she was laughing. Happy. Smiling. I can't say that Jenny and I were extraordinarily close, but she was very close to my wife and her mother, and a constant part of my life since I met her. She as at my wedding, my wife's high school and college graduations, my housewarming party, and every trip my mother-in-law has ever taken to the hospital or Buloxi. She knew me well enough to know who I was, what I did and how I did it, and she understood that my blunt, often brash demeanor when helping on computer crap was meant almost specifically to entertain myself while doing stuff I didn't find particularly fun. And she got a kick out of it.
I'm glad I could give her a bit to laugh about her last night here. I'm glad she was such a great friend and a part of our lives. And I will miss her, mostly for who she was for my family.

Hi Angela,
I have a question. I am currently working as a nanny and have been getting families who have children in school grades 1st through 5th grades. How can I use the skills, techniques and classroom management techniques with the children in my care, but on a smaller scale? How can I show the parents that I know what is the academic expectation and behavioral expectations? Is it okay to introduce a chart system early on or wait to see what the parents use first? Thanks for getting back to me.

By the way, I love your blog. You have inspired me to begin crafting my blog and research what to discuss and include.

I have been listening to your podcast recently and I love it! I listen every morning on my way to work to build positive energy. I recently listened to your podcast on test taking and how to make sure kids don't stress. you mentioned a survey that you send home with your kids at the end of the year. What kinds of questions do you ask? How do you get the kids to hand them in anonymously?
- 28 November 17, 2016 at 4:11 pm
Hi Angela,
Thank you so much for all your amazing ideas, support, and resources. I am so grateful to have found you. One question — do you have a list of all your "takeaway truths" from the end of the podcasts? I am always wanting to write many of them down but I forget and don't go back to the ones I love. I really want to print some out to hang near my desk. Please let me know!
Thanks so much,

Friday Night -- Ladies Night!
Female pacers grab the spotlight at Hawthorne on Friday, as a trio of World Series Grand Circuit Stakes will be contested.
The evening kicks off with the $45,000 World Series Grand Circuit Stakes for freshmen filly pacers. Of the nine gals entered, only one has made a pari-mutuel start, but based on qualifiers and fair racing, several of these appear to have potential star quality.
Off her runner-up performance at Lexington two weeks ago, Jeanne N Diamonds (post 3) appears to be ready to win for trainer Stephen Waller. Bet down to odds of 2-1 in the field of eight, she was parked the opening quarter before briefly making the lead. After being shuffled back a bit to fourth, she rallied strongly in the stretch to grab the place spot. The experience should work to her benefit tonight.
The Shawn Nessa-trained Illinois-bred entry of Condi (post 2) and Whisky Girl (post 5) looks formidable. Condi won a non-wagering event at Springfield last out in 1:59 3/5, and Whisky Girl scored a romping win in a non-betting tilt at DuQuoin two weeks ago (1:59 4/5) before sizzling to an impressive qualifying score at Hawthorne on June 7 (1:59 3/5).
The World Series Grand Circuit event for the sophomore filly pacers drew 14 entries, thus the split into two divisions, each worth $33,000.
In race three, the Illinois-bred Free steps up to face open foes off an impressive victory in the Plum Peachy Final on Night of Champions. The Stanley Miller-trained daughter of Armbro Mackintosh has won seven of 11 starts this season. She will leave from post four tonight.
The speedy Ultimate Bet, who rattled off three consecutive wins at Woodbine before finishing third against more seasoned foes in her Hawthorne debut last week, leaves from the rail for trainer Ervin Miller, and the rapidly improving Bare Legs, who eyes her third consecutive score for the Timothy Pike stable, will roll from post two.
The second division of the World Series Grand Circuit Stakes for 3-year-old fillies (race five) is more of a puzzler. Betsy Hall (post 4) invades from Kentucky via Canada with a touch of class, and Gro, the winner of the White Sox Pace Final earlier in the meet, gets the advantage of the rail draw. Three Men Dreamin (post 2) and Otherpeoplesmoney (post 3) both enjoyed a productive 2-year-old campaigns, and both have a right to improve off needed starts. Both Brissonte Hanover (post 5) and Clova (post 6) have raced well here this meet, and each deserves major consideration.
Colletti Crowned Handicapping Champ
Congratulations go out to Joe Colletti, our 2006 Club Hawthorne Invitational Handicapping champion. Colletti earned $2,400 for his efforts. Here are the top ten finishers:

The brake hose kit will replace your standard rubber hoses for a sharper and more responsive feel under braking. These kits eliminate the 'spongy' feel you get under heavy braking with the standard rubber hoses.
All obp-HEL brake hoses comply with the requirements of FMVSS-106. These requirements set out the strict test criteria that all hoses must pass to enable them to be used on the road.
We have designed this system so it is incredibly easy to install. This new revolutionary system bolts to the floor and uses the floor pan angle to mount the master cylinders. NO welding or cutting is required.However you will need to fit sufficient fixing points / boss to bolt the unit to the floor. We recommend a minimum of 4 fixing points.
HEL Performance and obp Motorsport always has quality at the forefront of all that we do. The obp-HEL hoses are stringently tested to the requirements as laid down by federal regulations, both in the laboratory and on the race track where they are proven time and time again.

Happy Monday! I'm sure that most of you have the day off to honor the life of Martin Luther King Jr. He has long been one of my heroes. A man who never quit. Never gave up. Who stood up for the oppressed and demanded an end to their suffering. A man who was inspired by God and turned the pain in his life into light for others. He was, and continues to be, a light and fresh air for others.
So, in honor of him, I thought I would share some things that are fresh air to me. They make me smile, or inspire me, or bring beauty to a space. Some are serious, some are silly. Some are important, some are not. As a collective, however, they create a space of fresh air. Of hope. of laughter. Of life without worries.
Take a gander.
(If you click on the picture, you can see some of my thoughts, as well as a link to the original.)
Which of them did you love?
And even though it's a holiday, it's not Monday without a Nail of the Week post!
I'm in love with this mani. A beautiful mix of metallic and matte, Broken Arrow makes for a beautiful mani. And I want that coffee again. That is all. Enjoy your Monday!

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Herman Cain' category.
Blaming the media and its attack on his family, Herman Cain has announced the suspension of his campaign. It's interesting that even though Ginger White has publicly admitted to having an affair with Herman Cain for 13 years, and Cain has admitted to knowing her, but also to giving her money, he is still denying the affair. If women fail to declare publicly to being harassed by Cain, he suggests they are not legitimate. When women like Sharon Bialek come forward, Cain still denies even knowing her. Then a man comes forward and proclaims that Cain did know her and spent an entire evening with Sharon and himself. When Ginger White comes forward, admits to the affair, apologizes to the wife and family of Cain, produces telephone records of calls in the middle of the night, produces proof of payments from Cain, Cain still denies the affair! Now when Cain resigns from the presidential campaign, he continues to deny the affair. What reasonable person would find Cain credible? What reasonable person would listen to Cain or the party to which he belongs and not be suspicious of the credibility of any of its members. God clearly made a mistake when he told Cain to run for President. How many other mistakes has God made?
In case there was any doubt about the character and moral values of Sarah Palin in the minds of any Americans, there is no longer! In a short interview with Sean Hannity Sarah Palin was asked to share her "analysis" of the Republican Primary race and offer her perspective on the race. In the same breath she commented on the "hypocrisy and double standard" of the liberals who oppose the Republican candidates she :
1. Said that "character counts"
2. Used the demeaning term "broad" when speaking about Ginger White, the woman who had a 13-year affair with Herman Cain
3. Said "boys will be boys" but they shouldn't be running the country
4. Explained that we should get back to the "issues that really matter"
While each of these comments could be the subject of an entire post, there is one common theme. Sarah Palin continues to disparage women in the most vile and offensive way. Just when we think she can't do any more damage to the image of the American woman, she calls a woman a "broad" and excuses the conduct of an unfaithful husband by saying "boys will be boys."
The Urban dictionary reveals just how offensive the term "broad" is. It explains that:
"Broad refers to the distance between the vagina lips of the human female. When the distance becomes wider than normal due to wear and tear, high mileage and rough use a woman becomes a broad. A broad is not necessarily a slut because all the wear and tear may have come from one man but a slut is always a broad."
When Sarah Palin uses this term to describe Ginger White, the woman who had a 13-year affair with Herman Cain, she is attributing blame to the woman and suggesting she is a "slut." By saying "boys will be boys" she exonerates Cain, suggesting that he is simply a victim of his hormones. This is particularly offensive given Palin's claim to be so committed to family values. It is offensive because of the use of women by Todd, and his history of paying women for sex.
It is even more offensive, given Palin's own history of sexual indiscretions. Who could forget the account of a one-night stand with Glen Rice?
What about the indication of an affair with Brad Hanson, Todd's partner?
What about the indication of an affair with Curtis Menard, who looks amazing like Track, Sarah's first child?
What about the fact that Palin was pregnant when she married Todd?
If anyone deserves to be labeled a "broad" it is Sarah Palin herself.
However the comment "boys will be boys" indicates that Herman Cain and every other man who has been unfaithful to his wife should be excused for his behavior. The assumption is that Herman Cain's hormones are simply too powerful to control. Palin indicates he is a victim, and it is the fault of the "broad" who caused him to be unfaithful to his wife for 13 years. Palin misses the point. It is not the act of sex for which Cain should be condemned. It is the deceit and breach of trust for which he should be accountable. If he had divorced his wife and "lived in sin" for 13 years with Ginger White we would not condemn him. If Herman Cain and his wife had agreed that they would not be faithful to each other, and have sex with other people, we might not have understood that decision, but we would respect their right to determine the boundaries of their relationship. By saying "boys will be boys" suggests that Cain is without blame or responsibility, and that the wrongdoer is Ginger White. The indication is that "boys will be boys" but "girls can't be girls." In these four short words Palin indicates she endorses a double standard.
It is interesting that Sarah Palin didn't call herself a "broad" when she got pregnant out of wedlock. She didn't call Bristol a "broad" when Bristol got pregnant out of wedlock. She didn't excuse Levi by saying "boys will be boys" when he got Bristol pregnant.
Palin didn't call her daughter-in-law a "broad" when she got pregnant out of wedlock with the child of Track.
Sarah Palin was right about one thing. "Character does count." Sarah Palin has none, and that matters.
In what will come as no surprise to anyone who has been following Herman Cain's sex-fueled implosion, it is now being reported that Cain's marriage has been on the rocks for years.
Herman and Gloria Cain may have been married for 43 years, but according to a family insider, their marriage seems as real as Mitt Romney's tan. "It never felt like a real marriage when I was around them,'' says the friend. "Mostly he was always gone and his wife seemed to be OK with it. Not being together seemed the norm for their marriage, and Gloria didn't seem to mind. His kids didn't seem to mind either. He was king of his castle and no one questioned him,'' says the friend. "It was an uncomfortable set-up for an outsider like me to be around. He was so indifferent to everyone. But I liked Gloria. She was warm and kind."
If Cain cares half as much for his wife and family as he professes, he will drop of the race and fade out of America's collective conscious.
Maya Angelou once said, "The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them." Herman Cain has shown his wife, family and the country who he is, and we would all be remiss to ignore the real Herman. From sexual harassment settlements to Cain's admission he gave Ginger White, a woman he allegedly had a 13 year affair with, money it is apparent Cain is showing us the real Herman. Cain's attempt to "reestablish" his character, is like Bristol Palin trying to reestablish her virginity.
"Peace through Strength and Clarity" is the motto of Herman Cain on his website which pertains to foreign policy. It is laughable that when asked about Libya there was no indication of strength or clarity.
His website contains this map with "Pithy" comments after countries, as if one of his campaign advisors had given him a crash course in foreign policy. The map actually used by Cain for his web site was a Facebook map showing the density of Facebook use, with brighter areas representing greater use, and darker areas representing lower Facebook use.
Cain told CNN that the place where you see the most light, "that's where there's the most amount of freedom. He explained that the darkest areas are the "Communist areas because they deny their citizens access to this global economy. The unmistakable conclusion of Herman Cain is that where there is no Facebook there is Communism. Herman Cain is a world-class scholar, and a savvy politician on foreign policy issues.

PRGR 2013 Ladies New egg Iron 7-PW (4 piece set)
PRGR introduces the new 2013 egg Iron. It is made to match the egg line up for 2013 and has great emphasis on forgiveness and distance for the average player. It features a unique, hollow pocket cavity back design. The hollow pocket allows the walls of the club head to be made very thin all around for lighter weight that is easy to control. The face is also made of high strength maraging steel which produces great jump off of the club face along with a crisp sound. The unique design allows the center of gravity to be placed very low while having mass concentrated closer to help promote a strong penetrating trajectory. The head also features a tungsten bar placed in the back of the club head. This feature assists in keeping a low center of gravity, while the added weight behind the sweet spot helps stabilize the head through impact.
The face feature a slight off set design to help square the face at impact. The lofts are made strong to maximize distance with each iron, but the lowered CG and unique design allows every player to still produce a high trajectory. The face is overall very thin, but features some variable thickness. (2.5mm on the upper part, 2mm on the lower part and a 2.9mm thickness in the center "sweet spot') This design allow well struck shots to have a very crisp and satisfying feedback to the hands while minimizing distance loss on off center hits. The sole of the club is also made with a smooth bulge which helps glide the head across any surface to minimize friction and maximize swing speed through impact.
It comes standard with an original PRGR graphite shaft made for light weight and mid/high launch.

Despite reaching important milestones, intelligence agencies still struggle to effectively share information. (FCW image)
The information-thirsty intelligence community (IC) realized years ago that each of its 17 component agencies gobbling up and storing swaths of data isn't the best use of the billions of dollars spent gathering intelligence – or the best use of the data.
That awareness led to the IC Information Technology Enterprise (ICITE) strategy, proposed by Director of National Intelligence Director James Clapper in 2011, designed to unify communication and information sharing within the IC.
As IC Chief Information Officer Al Tarasiuk announced Sept. 9, ICITE reached an important milestone in August, inaugurating its own internal cloud based on the National Security Agency's model, opening an IC-wide application mall and rolling out the IC shared desktop model to a few thousand users within the National Geospatial-Intelligence and Defense Intelligence agencies.
Could ICITE have stopped Snowden?
Leaked documents clarify classified IT spending
Intelligence community builds cloud infrastructure
But information is the epicenter for the strategy.
Information is the currency for intelligence, and improved transactions between agencies equate to improved national security. The IC isn't where it wants to be yet, Tarasiuk said, but it is getting there incrementally.
"Not all (IC) agencies can communicate with each other" in the ways they should be able to, Tarasiuk said.
That admission suggests the same information governance issues that plague civilian agencies extend to Defense and IC agencies, but ICITE aims to change that.
Tarasiuk explained that IC users will have "better access to data over time" through common e-mail and collaboration tools in relation to the IC's standardized shared desktop environment, which is based on off-the-shelf Windows 7-based software -- with extensive security modifications.
The "technical roadblocks" between IC users from differing component agencies will disappear as well.
If analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency and the NSA want to exchange or share information, for example, they can, but what information each party can access depends on settings and standards that individual agencies – acting as data stewards – put on the information. In other words, the walls between the agencies come down.
While this "brings information and data together" like never before for the IC, Tarasiuk made clear that safeguards, including IC-wide security standards, levels of encryption on data and segmented access for privileged users, ensure IC users don't access information they're not supposed to.
"It doesn't mean everyone has access to everything," Tarasiuk said.
In the announcement, Tarasiuk did not mention former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the man responsible for leaking a slew of top-secret files on surveillance capabilities and directives to the public.
Yet it's clear the Snowden effect has been discussed thoroughly by the IC's top brass in maximizing the security architecture end-to-end, from a user's desktop to the IC's internal cloud.
Users, he said, will have access to information they need to do their jobs -- no more, and no less.
ICITE's capabilities, when fully realized in 2018, will allow intelligence agencies access to better quality data, too.
The private cloud will by then be bolstered by a commercial provider – either IBM or Amazon Web Services – and while the current capabilities of such an enterprise remain classified, the cloud will provide the IC the means to better tag all the information it ingests.
Data storage and access improve as a result, and better data ultimately leads to better insights gleaned from it, meaning intelligence agencies will get more bang for the buck they spend on intelligence gathering.

The new $7.5 billion SETI acquisition program aims to rapidly contract innovative technologies and solutions across the Defense Department.
The Department of Commerce is revising its confidentiality agreement for statistical data survey respondents to reflect the fact that the Department of Homeland Security could see some of that data if it is captured by the Einstein system.
In a Feb. 17 memo, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told senior leadership to establish teams to look for duplication across the armed services in business operations, including in IT and cybersecurity.
State election officials had more questions than answers after a Department of Homeland Security presentation on the designation of election systems as critical U.S. infrastructure.
The government desperately needs younger talent to replace an aging workforce, and experts say that a freeze on hiring doesn't help.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will test an internally developed scheduling module at primary care sites nationwide to see if it's ready to service the entire agency.
This comment is another in the long stream of IT focused opinions that have little understanding of the DOD/ Intelligence Community's disfunction. When one makes a career as a DOD/IC federal manager and principal consultant working to improve agency and inter-agency communications, one learns that turning information into intelligence is held hostage by the culture of ineptitude through which data and information must flow. Each agency's policies, processes, business architectures, career tracks, and human weaknesses are insulated from external interference in order to protect local careerism, financial resources, executive influence and personal cya. What's in it for me? is clearly palpable at the more senior and executive levels. It is not unusual for employees and consultants working near the top of these agencies to be struck by the lack of a truly "public service" culture. When interorganizational strategic thinking, emotional moderation, and the common good are essential recommendations for greater operational efficiency and ones own agency effectivess; it is (not) surprising that decisions and solutions are often viewed as being primarily within the executive's own scope and opportunity -- and this applies equally to CIOs as well as Directors, COOs and CFOs. In the end, the agency is a human organization that resists the use of technological capabilities that tend to restrain influential individuals from pursuing their respective agendas. It is not the plumbing system itself that determines the quality of the water that flows through it.

In the spring of each year, Emmanuel Reformed Baptist Church is host to a retreat for couples. The retreat is open to all couples who wish to come and be instructed and encouraged in their marriages by what the Bible has to say concerning the blessings and responsibilities of the husband and wife relationship.
The retreat is also a wonderful opportunity to spend time alone together as well as to enjoy fellowship with other couples.
This year's retreat has already taken place. It was held Friday and Saturday, May 6th and 7th in the beautiful little Bavarian village of Leavenworth, WA.
Our speaker this year was Pastor Lee McKinnon of Covenant Reformed Baptist Church of Bluefield West Virginia.
Though originally from the state of Washington, Pastor McKinnon spent most of his teen years in the mountains of southwest Virginia. It is here that he met and married his high school sweetheart, Wanda. A week after their wedding they moved to Lee's hometown in western Washington. This is where they were in August of 1973 when the Lord saved them both on the same evening, under the same Gospel message preached. Lee and Wanda have one daughter and three grandsons.
To listen to or download the messages from this year's retreat, please click the links below.
Check back in early spring 2017 for info about next year's retreat.
