Close reading only makes sense with texts that are complex, but complex does not mean hard for students to read (decode); the notion of placing students in texts they can't read so they can do close reading reveals a lack of knowledge (on the part of the adults making the decisions). When kids are placed in texts that are hard for them to read, they need scaffolding/support to learn to handle such texts. I think I'll write a blog entry on this soon... but your leaders are leading you in the wrong direction according to your note.

The idea of close reading is that the students will figure out the text based on the text itself. When you tell students what they are looking for they have a very different negotiation with the text (one likely to advantage the cued information, while distracting from the rest of the author's message).

In your opinion, when preparing to close read a text, should student preview, the questions before reading? It seems to me previewing the questions prior to reading would tend to limit the information students look for, rather than "gleaning" all of the information possible from the text.

However, you have to start somewhere, so doing things like analyzing the relationship of the pictures with the text (look at your standards) is not crazy or inappropriate. If your teaching is "perpetuating a growing hatred toward the reading process altogether" then you are not a very good teacher, and the problem is with the implementation rather than with the standards. I was recently teaching close reading to second-graders and they were asking the teacher when they could do it again. Clearly, you must be doing a horrid job of this. I suggest that you ask for help from your school district because your teaching skills are inadequate in this area.Tim Shanahanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-33986262931186862552015-03-17T10:55:02.953-05:002015-03-17T10:55:02.953-05:00"Thus, close reading is an intensive analysis..."Thus, close reading is an intensive analysis of a text in order to come to terms with what it says, how it says it, and what it means"
As a reading specialist, I would argue this is developmentally inappropriate for most elementary students. Just because supposed rigor is absent at the end of high school does not warrant increasing rigor at the primary level without consideration of development. Why exactly do children under ten need to be intensively analyzing text? Frankly, the introduction of "close reading" into elementary classrooms is perpetuating a growing hatred toward the reading process altogether. email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-72148566560472390922014-07-17T16:42:07.819-05:002014-07-17T16:42:07.819-05:00Given your description of this reader, I would not...Given your description of this reader, I would not emphasize close reading at this time.

Even in many of the children are reading, the texts rarely are deep enough to make close reading worthwhile. It is possible to involve kids in some close reading style interpretation of texts that are being read to them, but I wouldn't go crazy with this. At kindergarten I would worry more about covering a lot of ground in terms of content (both exposing kids to information about their world and to their literary heritage), rather than trying to involve them in deep analysis (some of that is fine, but I would NOT seek balance with the exposure noted above).Tim Shanahanhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-29542248578321841312014-06-10T16:44:13.445-05:002014-06-10T16:44:13.445-05:00How does close reading fit in developmentally for ...How does close reading fit in developmentally for a kindergarten email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-68182605070291311542014-06-02T17:51:55.211-05:002014-06-02T17:51:55.211-05:00This sounds like why I hated reading in school.

This close reading sounds redundant and boring to me. Your article explained what it is well but I think literacy has become out of control at the elementary level. There is already too much time spent on it and the way it is being dealt with is so geared to the learning styles of girls as is this close reading nonsense. It sounds like English majors have too much influence on school curriculum.

The connection between them is that annotating can be a helpful tool when one is doing close reading (it is much easier to mark up the text than to just remember patterns or images that you noticed when reading). As such, workshops on close reading often spend a lot of time teaching annotating--which is fine, but often distracting. Annotating is useful during close reading, but it is not necessary. it is not a hallmark or distinguishing characteristic of close reading (and it is a useful tool in many non-close reading approaches, too).Tim Shanahanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-55892706385391572532014-05-19T21:07:09.265-05:002014-05-19T21:07:09.265-05:00What is the connection between annotation and clos...What is the connection between annotation and close reading?

I know of no books about teaching close reading with basal readers/literature anthologies/core programs. However, there is nothing special about those sources. You still will have to focus on texts that have a depth of meaning (e.g., layers of meaning, alternative interpretations, symbolism, worthwhile content), and you will have to focus your questions on the texts themselves (rather than on the kids' background knowledge, etc.). You will likely spend more time on such selections than the publisher recommends, but in such a case you would just be using it as a source of texts anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem.Tim Shanahanhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-80473067121676232592014-04-21T12:24:20.407-05:002014-04-21T12:24:20.407-05:00can you suggest a good professional development bo...can you suggest a good professional development book and what do you suggest for doing it with the email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-8240090026810972202014-03-23T11:49:41.481-05:002014-03-23T11:49:41.481-05:00Science Teacher-- Rereading and taking notes on w...Science Teacher--

Rereading and taking notes on what one reads are definitely part of close reading, but as you point out, they really aren't hallmarks of it since these are common practices in other kinds of reading as well.

Close reading has two hallmarks: First, the entire emphasis is on focusing on the text that the author has provided. It is really important to shut out other sources of information while you engage in a close read. (Those sources might include information that the teacher tells you, but it also might be ignoring the illustrations which probably didn't come from the author--this can be really important in science reading, since illustrations like photographs often are inaccurate or inappropriate to the texts).

Second, close reading emphasizes the accomplishment of multiple interpretive goals.

1. Readers have to understand what the text says (just like in SQ3R).

2. Readers have to understand how a text works... how the author's choices of words and structure support, extend, and reinforce the author's message. (Something not a focus in SQ3R). Thus, the teacher might ask students, why the author expressed the following idea using a passive sentence: "Excess sodium ions are released from the osmoregulatory organ under hypertonic conditions."

3. Readers have to critically respond to text and connect it up with other texts (in science, this might involve making connections across different parts of a text--like connecting a table of data up with a paragraph). Again, this isn't highlighted in SQ3R or other approaches to reading.

Your students will definitely need to reread and take notes to accomplish these three interpretive goals only using information from the text, but rereading and note-taking are just superficial aspects of the process.Tim Shanahanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-61378008242448867742014-03-23T07:49:55.299-05:002014-03-23T07:49:55.299-05:00How is close reading really any different from the...How is close reading really any different from the old SQ3R which calls for re-reading?Scienceteacher1991http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557533956996103818.post-50889374289535952132013-11-13T09:19:51.232-06:002013-11-13T09:19:51.232-06:00Close reading does NOT require short text, though ...Close reading does NOT require short text, though it is can be more practical in a classroom.... it usually takes more time for a longer text, but that isn't always the case.

We stayed twice at this villa and i can say you will not be disappointed with your choice.
Great villa clean,spacious lots of room,peaceful and all the mod cons.
The kids loved the pool which is not the standard postage size pool,but it is unusual because of its good size.The garden is very nice and the outside shower is a must.
The guys that run the villa are very nice and helpful.
We have stayed at many villas in the area and i rate this as one of the best.
The Clark family.London.
Lovely villa set off the main road in a quiet area but only a short drive to the nearest beaches and the main strip for bars and restaurants in Protaras so a car is recommended. We had a great time and the villa was better than we expected - well maintained, very spacious and clean. The pool was cleaned frequently and the owner was more than happy to help with any queries. Would definitely stay again.
Everything you could want is in this villa,Lovely views, it was very clean and obviously well looked after, being on the end of a row means you get a lovely breeze in the afternoons, which in 35 degrees+ is very welcome. Good sized pool that was cleaned regularly with ample supply of towels for use at the villa, and lovely gardens,You really do need a car to get anywhere unless you like walking, but very central. We have already booked this villa for next year as is has a lovely feel about it. Very highly recommended

This musical comedy has been created in 1953 by two authors: R. Rodgers & O. Hammerstein II, who produced all libretto & lyrics. Premiere took place on May of mentioned year in the Majestic Theatre. A large number of tickets were sold in advance. This ensured the well funding of performance. By November, the musical fully paid off. On April 1954 after 358 performances, the play was removed from the display. This spectacle made a little profit, so it was attributed to unsuccessful productions.
Director is G. Abbott. The cast involved: I. Bigley – Jeanie, B. Hayes – Larry, M. Dawson – Bob, R. Walston – Mac, J. McCracken – Betty, J. Lautner – Ruby, H. Scott – Lily (Juliet), E. Philips – Sidney. In 1954, a musical during a half month was shown in Chicago. In 1955, the show was at the Starlight Theatre's stage. In 1970, it was shown in the New York's Equity Library Theatre. Resurrection occurred in 2002, when the musical was staged at the York Theatre's scene. As chorus girls of 1953-1954, were involved the S. MacLaine – in a New York production, and S. Jones – in Chicago's one.
The London's production was set in 2010 at the Finborough Theatre.
Release date: 1953

During that time I attended the antenatal clinic at what should be one of Britain's leading maternity units, at King's College Hospital in Camberwell, London.
This is a great hospital. Its fame and move towards trust status, obtained in April, resulted in a television series, Channel 4's Operation Hospital, shown earlier this year. I had my first baby there 10 years ago; but returning this year for my fourth, I could hardly believe my eyes. Conditions at the antenatal clinic have deteriorated disastrously: lengthy queues, hurried consultations, despair among the waiting women and harassed looks on the faces of the midwives. Virginia Bottomley, the Secretary of State for Health, ought to go and see for herself.
King's College Hospital has some of the most dedicated and experienced midwives and doctors it is possible to find. In three previous pregnancies they have assisted me with the utmost professionalism.
However, two years ago the maternity unit at the nearby Dulwich Hospital closed. As a result, I was told privately, the number of pregnant women attending King's increased by at least half. Staff and local GPs believe the switch has been disastrous.
The basement waiting room at the hospital, never an attractive place with its low ceiling and absence of basic amenities, has remained unaltered in size, despite the increase in patients. There are still only three lavatories available for women who have to provide urine samples. The scales on which patients are weighed remain in full view of the overcrowded room.
This is what I found on a typical morning last month. By 10.15, all 40 or so seats were taken, with five pregnant women having to stand, another six waiting outside the lavatories to provide their urine samples, and the receptionist facing a lengthy queue. The light bulb in the lavatory was broken so women had to provide samples in the darkness. Patients unable to get into the waiting room were standing outside. Everyone had settled down for a long wait.
This was typical of my visits during the past nine months. I have seen women waiting up to three hours for consultation, sometimes with small children wailing on their knees. On that particular morning I asked the nurse for a chair. She called out: 'Anyone who isn't pregnant, stand up.' A man accompanying his wife vacated a seat, which I took, forcing him to stand.
How can the management of King's College Hospital let down both its patients and professional staff so hopelessly? The midwives say they are allowed to allocate each woman only 10 minutes of their time. One midwife was so appalled at the overcrowding and queues on my last visit that she called out the names of three patients and took them upstairs to the maternity wards to try to reduce the delays.
This part of London, as a glance around the waiting room indicates, has more than its share of young, single, deprived mothers. Yet no one appears to have time for proper counselling, or pastoral care. Not one midwife had the time to ask me what sort of labour or pain control I wanted. This is completely different to the sense of bustle - but real care - that used to characterise this unit.
The overcrowding extends to other prestigious areas at King's. For example, the Birthright scanning unit, which screens pregnant women for genetic defects, kept me waiting until 6pm one December evening; I was not seen and had to return the next day.
Many of the women who attend antenatal care will be feeling either exhausted or ill. Once they have been seen, they emerge on to a busy road with little useful public transport to hand. And how can a major hospital continue without any available parking for the public?
The many volunteers who raise money for King's, often for glamorous and hi-tech projects, ought to look more deeply at what the hospital needs. The maternity unit seems to be going the way of the hospital's casualty department, which was renowned for its awful conditions.
I can honestly say that the worst experiences of this pregnancy have been inflicted by King's College Hospital's maternity services. Its managers urgently need to improve conditions and to facilitate, rather than hinder, the work of their fantastic staff. Even if they now plan to solve the problem of overcrowding, the question remains: how have they allowed it to continue for so long?
Maggie Brown gave birth at King's College Hospital to a boy, John Charles, on 11 May.
Improvements will start in August, promises King's
PLANS to rebuild and expand the antenatal clinic at King's College Hospital are to go ahead in August this year. Mr Donald Gibb, consultant obstetrician and director of women's services at the hospital, said that the clinic had been a 'black spot' for years, but proposals to improve conditions had been put on hold repeatedly because money for the project had not been made available.
'We have fantastically good doctors and midwives working in fantastically poor fabric,' he said.
Mr Gibb said that although the clinic was seeing more women, overcrowding was not directly connected to the closure of nearby Dulwich Hospital.
Waiting times at the antenatal clinic had shortened considerably over the past two years, Janette Brierley, director of midwifery services, said. But things 'were by no means perfect'. The new building would include more cubicles, which would further reduce waiting periods, she said.
Ms Brierley said that although an appointment with a doctor normally lasted 10 minutes, women usually spent 15-20 minutes with a midwife. There were plans to increase the number of midwives working at the clinic, she said.

Belmond Charleston Place
205 Meeting Street, Charleston, SC
0.2 mi from
Right near shops of King St Home of Charleston Grill, a top 5 dining experience for us Fine luxury throughout hotel Can seem a bit stuffy depending on clientele, but that's who it's for
Enjoyed the ambience and attention of staff. Excellent gym and spa area. Perfect location for shopping and dining. Lack of in room movies.
Ken, on the Club Floor always provides incredible service. He makes your stay! Frank is no longer there. You will not find a better location, or staff on the hotel side. The spa service is sub-standard, and over-priced. Therapists were not attentive to requests, and hearing complaints about their job because they didn't receive benefits, was unsettling. Urban Nirvana in Charleston offers the best service. Consider opting for their spa at Wentworth Mansion. The service and value trump Charleston Place, any day. Also the spa charged a 20% tip without notifying me, and overcharged for the services rendered. The spa therapists aren't Belmond Charleston Place employees, and are quick in letting you know that.
Everything was very nice and we stayed in just a normal room. Very spacious with a very comfortable bed and lovely linens and plenty of bath linens, checking twice a day to make your bed and have everything fresh again by bedtime. Staff was friendly and efficient. The bar was quite lively when we were there on the weekend and a lovely brunch. A great location. The only complaint or oddity was how the bath sinks were made. If you were short or a child they would be taller than most with the sink further back. Both my husband and I noticed. The room was otherwise lovely.
Our room was on the top floor and absolutely gorgeous from the room itself to the bathroom to the breathtaking view! It was perfect and exceeded my expectations! There was nothing not to like! I'd stay there again and again!
Beautiful facility. Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff was excellent and friendly. Perfect location. Repeated air conditioning problems in our room.
Location is the best thing about this hotel. Valet very disorganized and never anticipating peak times, Had to take my luggage to my room myself.... Over priced for the service or lack of service
Hotel was beautiful and opulent. Historic setting in the middle of the old Charleston. Restaurant was excellent and rooms were both beautiful and spacious. Staff was extremely courteous and pleasant. We had air conditioning problems that repeatedly left the room without cooling in 90 degree weather.
Spa needs help !
The rooms was beautiful and completely decked out. The staff was kind, curious, willing to help, and helped us coordinate between my girlfriend and I as we prepared in separate areas of town for a wedding I was in and needed to check in earlier. The room was extremely clean and the staff was extremely nice! No need to go to their bar or cafe, the prices of everything are unnecessarily high just because they are by luxury stores or something. They are $20 for everything, no lie. Do yourself a favor and go to any of the amazing restaurants in the area that you can more than easily walk to!
Everything Nothing
Every item in the room was first rate and luxurious. The traffic noise was very loud throughout the night
Small rooms, smaller bathrooms, no balconies, rooms badly need refurbished. Dingy looking. Not any nicer than a Super 8. It's conveniently located is the best that can be said for it, but at that price it's not worth it. Stay at the Wentworth instead, only a bit more for an actual luxury hotel.
This hotel was beautiful. A rooftop pool, bar with outdoor patio, and excellent feature, this hotel was everything I had hoped for.
Great Location Clean rooms Friendly Housekeeping staff Convenient Parking if not valet Great location to some excellent restaurants I would stay here again Restaurant and Bar in hotel I would not recommend Service poor, house wine limited and poor, do not waste your time there are excellent places right out the door No mooring coffee available in the lobby or at the bar. Was told it would be set up by 6am, but both days nothing between 530-700am
Not worth the price. Very expensive rooms
The entire staff----everyone with whom we had any contact---they were all very helpful and anxious to please. The room was not very comfortable or easy to move around in . Bath was very outdated and not easy to use. Not very competitive or modern
Location Surprisingly the staff wasn't very friendly or helpful. They seems very aloof.
We visit Charleston often and this was our first time staying at the Mills House. It was beautiful! We stayed overnight and loved the location, decor, and the cleanliness. We parked in the parking garage and access to the hotel was very easy. This will be a place that we come back to in our future visits to Charleston. Only small complaint I have was the pillows. They were fluffy until you laid on them, then they became flat and hard.
Location was great! Nice staff, clean and pool was a great bonus :) Would have preferred a fridge in room but not totally necessary. We had a great time so really nothing negative!
I loved the complementary champagne, gorgeous pool surrounded by flowers & superb location. The friendly professional is very welcoming. The bathroom doors are sliding & did not give the feeling of full privacy. The room was not spacious but very comfortable.
great location, great view of the riverfront, very friendly and accommodating staff paper coffee cups in room, walls were a little thin. the couple next to us were loud at all hours of the night. did not enjoy hearing them having sex!
Excellent location in the historic area, exceptionally pleasant staff, very comfortable beds. If you eat breakfast every day, get the breakfast package. This made our stay even more relaxing. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The bathroom was a bit snug. Price was high, but comparable for other hotels in the historic area.
Everything was wonderful. N/A
Perfect location and an art lovers dream. The room could have been cleaner
The location cannot be beat--the art throughout adds to the atmosphere of the hotel. Bed too high up--I needed a stepladder to get in--the hardwood floors were shined and polished so much that I thought I would slip and fall.
Excellent staff
the vendue was wonderful. the staff were firefly and helpful and the room was very comfortable and well appointed. the location was also great. if you want even more character it may be better to say in the 26 vendue building but the advantage of 19, where I stayed, was that amenities were closer.
The overall vibe, from the room decor to the customer service was outstanding. Everything was clean, the room was better than expected, and the whole hotel was fun to walk through and view the artwork. The customer service across the board really made the experience though. Everyone was fantastic and eager to assist! Only two minor strikes. The bed was almost too comfortable. It was extremely soft and the pillows were softer. The rooftop bar was an awesome experience in the evening, however we arrived for lunch the first day and over half of the menu was unavailable at the time.
really lovely hotel. The service is what stood out the most to me. Every single person I encountered was top notch (even more so than some internationally-known hotels I have stayed at). Even when there was a tiny issue with my room service (more on me for being picky) - there was no attitude from anyone, everyone was happy to make an adjustment. The replacement meal came in less than 10 minutes with apologies from the chef even! (And the meal was delicious, btw) I even received a follow-up call from reception about 30 minutes after I got to my room to make sure everything was ok. That's never happened to me before. The room was beautiful--dark wood floors, large four-poster king bed, updated bathroom. Top notch service, great location right by the waterfront and some amazing restaurants. Noise: the wood floors are so beautiful, but that means you have to hear your inconsiderate neighbors clunk around on their floors with their shoes on. Perhaps a very sweet note when guests check in (or in the room) that while the floors are beautiful, please be mindful of your neighbors and take your shoes off while in the room." Also, in the morning I could hear everyone's conversations from the hallway very loudly! Size of Room/Bathroom: this is with the caveat that I had a very low rate that provided me with one of the more standard rooms, so it was not necessarily unexpected. For what I paid, it was a decent size, bathroom just decent size as well. If I actually planned to do work while there, I would recommend getting a bigger room as mine did not have a desk.
Location was excellent. Walk to many restaurants, the waterfront, carriage rides and an open air market. Wonderful service from everyone there. Rooftop bar was fun! It was very expensive, room was tiny, no views
Location, ambiance; roof deck No Fitness area; limited toiletry selections; a little noisy ( it's old); you will pay a lot!
Walls are thin. Can hear neighbors
Clean, friendly staff, perfect location! Wifi was spotty
It was close to everything downtown. The price for the size of the room and the parking.
Handy for everything . no
breakfest was great, good lokation downtown
The breakfast on the roof top. The location in relationship to downtown Charleston. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. The room had too big of furniture for the size of the room, esp the desk area. There was no swimming pool, jacuzzi, etc. Our room location was next to the entrance and it was a bit loud with the comings and goings. The maids started too early to clean rooms and it caused more noise in the hallway.
We were in Charleston for a wedding and stayed 3 nights at Andrew Pinckney Inn. Location was within walking distance of the restaurants, cathedral and aquarium chosen by the wedding couple for the weekend events. Sandy was especially helpful with recommendations and assistance booking a city tour and transportation when we needed it. The hotel was lovely and intimate with just 40 rooms. Beautiful floral arrangements, breakfast on the roof top, fresh cookies and coffee, tea, water and lemonade in the lobby and attention to detail made our stay very memorable. Charleston is well worth the trip! We paid $319 + tax and fees for Friday and Saturday night. $199 + for Sunday night. I returned home to have an e-mail promotion from Snique Away for Andrew Pinckney Inn for $109 per night. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, but now feel that Booking.com was not my best option when booking a hotel. Prime weekend with USC graduation may have played a factor.
it was restful, convienent, and clean
Room was very clean, uniquely decorated and furnished. Breakfast, while not great, was better than most I've experienced in the States. Great location close to the Market and other sites in downtown Charleston. Easy walking distance. Front desk staff was not very helpful or friendly. Bathroom did not have a fan, the sink water was always luke warm. No coffee machine in room. The price of the room was not worth the value of the room. Parking could be an issue.
The location within historic Charleston was convenient to everything. We were able to walk to all of our chosen destinations! The amenities offered were excellent, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was very comfortable. Would love to go back there and stay longer!! Can't think of anything we did not like.
location price
A very good room, bed and bathroom, well located No complaints
The location was very good. I liked that they gave you 2 water bottles each day. The shower was great and the bathroom was VERY large. The bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows were a joke. They were tiny and lumpy. The room could have been better maintained. One of the drawer pulls came loose. One day we didn't have enough towels. They usually provide 3 or 4, but we only had 2. I use 2 towels when I shower (one for hair and one for body). I didn't realize there were not enough towels. My husband got out of the shower and didn't have a towel! I had to give him one of my wet towels. When I told the girl at the front desk, she didn't even apologize. She just made a note to provide us with extra towels. We didn't want EXTRA towels. We just wanted the normal number. The AC was VERY loud! I had to turn up the TV every time it turned on.
Clean - but feels like motel 6 .. For $ 300 a night - u really get nothing but location .. Didn't like anything at all but the location - if they charged 145 a night and not 290 I prob would rave .. But for 290 a night one expect more services .. Or at least room service ...
Convenient to Historic Charleston Parking across the street - but only once. Other times parkng was available in the hotel parking lot.
We particularly liked the helpfulness of the staff.
The rooms were recently renovated and very nice. We were treated well by the staff. It was in a very convenient location. would definatley stay there again
Location. Staff. Coffee should be put out earlier, between 6 and 6:30 rather than 7 am.
The staff was very efficient. They helped me with every request I had. They also were very helpful on answering questions I had about the city. The only problem I encountered was ordering room breakfast on Sunday morning. We had an early flight and wanted to have breakfast before leaving to the airport. I asked for an order slip at the front desk, and I was not told breakfast was not served on early Sunday mornings. By the time I was leaving, I got a call from the restaurant informing me there was no room service until later. Obviously, th problem is that the slip you fill out does not specify the exception of early breakfast on weekends.
Nothing Everything it was dirty everywhere the bathroom door didn't shut the sheats were dirty the room smelled there was no view the walk to the room was sketchy
Rooms were completely renovated - new carpet, TV, refrigerator & furniture. The safe is nicely sized so you can lock up your tablet or a small laptop. Housekeeping missed cleaning my room one day. That didn't make me happy.
The location was amazing. We were able to walk everywhere in the city. The room was clean and the hotel staff was very nice. Would definitely stay here again.
How fast I was able to leave. Smelly room, filthy carpet, toxic microwave and aggressive towing company waiting to tow your car while you check in.
Great location, friendly staff. Somewhat pricey for amenities provided.
Location was great. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was adequate if a bit dated. Bed was comfortable. I heard every car driving by, every city bus accelerating from the nearby intersection, every conversation in the parking lot, every clack-clack-clack of every wheeled suitcase going down the side walk. There were many times when I actually looked to see if I had left the door open because I could hear voices outside so clearly that they must be in the room. Walls and door must be made of paper.
I needed a quick place to stay for a few nights in Charleston. I had stayed at other Days Inn (on business) and wasn't expecting much, but this place was super nice. It's in a beautiful historic area and for the price you can't beat it. I watched an episode of Treehouse Master in the room, now I'm hooked. Thanks a lot TV, you god damned modern miracle.
The AC is noisy
Great location for touriest Very noisy at night with contrustion going on
The location of this hotel was perfect. We were a quick walk to City Market and King Street. The staff was so nice and even fixed a circuit we blew within minutes. We will definitely be staying there again. We were very hesitant after the reviews but all was great! The vending machines were empty.
Location is excellent Expensive, but I mean its Charleston
Location was good! No breakfast, room smelled musty, could use a better bed.
We were quite pleased with the hotel amenities, staff professionalism, and its atterntion to details. It is a luxury hotel with an international flavor. Our one comment for change is to change the Church Street address. It is quite difficult to find it.
The staff went above and beyond to make your stay feel like you were part of their family . Great food , snacks and drinks all day long . Having to leave .
Proximity to the historic sector; room comfort,staff hospitality; Charleston is beautiful Meal quality & service at Tristan was below expectations
The facility is beautiful and the staff is pleasant and extremely helpful.
Great location to see so much of the beautiful city. Staff were very helpful, hotel is first class. Wine and cheese gave us a chance to meet some other travelers and share experiences.
Everything! It was wonderful. Address shows, "Church Street", but entrance not on Church.
We enjoyed having the extras included in the price of the room. The champagne upon arrival, afternoon wine and cheese, coffee and cookies in the evening and the continental breakfast were a delightful bonus.
Breakfast was great! The location was excellent. The Inn was quiet. Housekeeping did a great job. Room was always cleaned after a morning out. Turn down service was a nice perk. Always provided new towels at turndown service too. Just a lovely, all around Inn.
On the top of hotels in which I have stayed. My friends and I all agreed that we love this hotel!! The only complaint, which is so minor it is hardly worth noting, was the phone system was not working correctly. We could call out, but the receiving end could not hear us. Lucky for us we all had cell phones.
Great location. Friendly staff. Large rooms. Roof top bar was a lovely spot for a late afternoon drink and to watch the sunset over charleston. The first room we checked into was smelly and overlooked a parking lot. Terrible room but the hotel was quick to relocate us to a much better room. For the price we paid for our room the first room should not have been given to us. A subpar room for a superior hotel.
This is a first rate hotel! Will not stay anywhere else in Charleston. If you want the ultimate Charleston experience it is a must to stay at the Market Pavillion.
Character and charm were fantastic and the staff were attentive and always willing to give a hand. Danny's help in the lobby area couldn't have been better!
Valet and Bellmen were on point, room was comfortable, location was good. Check-in staff was a little stuffy, room window was beside auxiliary generator that came on very loudly while we were there, and a parking deck, NO VIEW AT ALL! Got a text ahead of time to let me know we would be getting a high floor with a view only to get just the opposite. The rooftop bar and restaurant was more of a tourist destination with the feel of a national restaurant chain. Due to the rooftop situation the elevator was crowded and slow.
I loved the turn down service each night.
Beautiful hotel, great location, great service! Definitely will be back!
Breakfast in a picnic basket outside the door, cookies and milk at night, great staff On the second floor, we could hear the footsteps of the patrons above us as we were trying to sleep.
The place had a great staff and excellent room. Room was not ready at time of check it
Location was fantastic. Easy and short walk to the main attractions in the historic district. The staff were super helpful, from the consierge service to the valet parking. Restaurant staff were pleasant and responsive. Hotel was clean and very well maintained. We would return.
Good location.
Very good location, seamless valet parking through check in procedure.Very impressive lobby and above average room. They took the trouble to send on an item left behind. Arriving at breakfast from our room location, we didn't see the check-in podium and were dealt with rather strictly by the hostess when we went directly to a table.
The hotel is in the historic district which made it where we checked in, parked the car and the entire stay we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It is half a block to the city market and horse carriage ride. 5 min walk to the waterfront park. And located all around it are fantastic restaurants. The staff was very friendly and gave us some great tips on things to do. When we come back to Charleston we will stay here again
Close to all shops & resturants No cold Water
very pleasent stay
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed talking to people about the area and received good directions to several area venues. I felt the price was a bit high.
THe guest services, the valet parking and bell people were great. The location was fabulous; everything we needed or wanted was within walking distance.
It was in a wonderful location. Being right in the heart of the historic district made it easyto visit by walking to every place. A little over priced for the room. A little more expensive for the room and facility
My visit was wonderful. The entire staff was gracious, helpful, pleasant and helpful. The staff in the breakfast room was outstanding. Valet parking was a plus!
This is a very beautiful hotel in downtown savannah. If you are located in room 299 then move as there is a night club located right next door and you will be up until 2am. The staff are not helpful. I missed my business meeting the next day.
Wonderful stay in beautiful courtyard patio room. The staff were responsive and helpful without being intrusive. Even when we made difficulty for them (demand for in-room refrigerator; screw up on date of check out; arriving with two vehicles instead of one) the staff handled it superbly and with grace. Loved being near the shops along King St and the restaurants on Meeting and Market. The bar was just that - not a sports locker room or TV lounge; perfect for a drink and a talk. My only frustration was that the weather was nice but not nice enough to dine romantically in the courtyard after dark. This is NOT a criticism. The Peninsula Grill (the only in-house eatery) is a fine establishment but expensive with a menu unsuited for anything but fine dining. An in-house or affiliated restaurant serving more family/daily meal focused fare would be an added bonus, especially if combined with some limited ability to have the meal delivered ala room service.
The service was great. I really felt pampered. The attention to detail was evident. Our butler made us feel welcomed and well cared for. The free snacks available in the room were a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable. Everyone there, from the doorman to the front desk to the cleaning staff made you feel like your well being was a priority. Being that the hotel is only 3 stories high a scenic view was lacking. It is a bit pricey so that a longer term stay may be cost prohibitive.
Breakfast in room, large luxurious bathrooms, bikes for peddling around city, butler for any service Nothing

Welcome to Healthy Exchange ...your quarterly online newsletter from your Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Metropolitan Family Services. Each issue provides information to help you better deal with personal, family or work-related concerns.

Many people use alcohol to help them fall asleep. But the latest research reports that – while alcohol can help you fall asleep faster – its negative impact on the quality and quantity of your sleep far outweighs its sleep-inducing effects. Plus, regular use of alcohol as a sleep aid may result in a dependency on alcohol.
According to researchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine, drinking alcohol to fall asleep interferes with sleep homeostasis, the body's sleep-regulating mechanism. It reduces rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage of sleep when you dream and an important phase of restorative sleep. Alcohol may seem to be helping you sleep – as it helps induce sleep – but the result is lighter, lower-quality sleep, interrupted by frequent awakenings which lead to a poorer night's rest.
Those suffering from sleep apnea should be extremely careful when mixing alcohol and sleep. Sleep apnea is a condition caused by obstructions in the airway that makes it difficult to breathe effectively while sleeping. Alcohol intensifies this problem by causing the airways to narrow even further and making it even harder for the person to get the quality of sleep they need. Research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison shows that men, especially, have longer episodes of sleep-disordered breathing after drinking alcohol.
Using alcohol on a regular basis to change your mood, relax or help you fall asleep is a dangerous choice that can lead to dependence. One of the symptoms of alcohol dependence is the need to drink increasingly more to feel the same result. Health experts recommend that regular use of alcohol as a sleep aid may result in a dependency on alcohol and that alcohol should not be used as a sleep aid.
According to the latest research, the consequences of too little sleep are more than just daytime fatigue, a bad mood or a lack of focus. Regular poor sleep puts you at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity, heart disease and diabetes – and it can shorten your life expectancy. British researchers who studied how sleep patterns affected the mortality of more than 10,000 British civil servants over two decades found that those who cut their sleep from seven to five hours or fewer a night nearly doubled their risk of death from all causes. In particular, lack of sleep doubled the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
If you are having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, the following are tips to help you improve the quality of your sleep:
1. Exercise regularly – Exercise dissipates stress and exercised muscles relax more easily, which will help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Initially, however, exercise does stimulate the body, so try finishing exercising at least three hours before bedtime or workout earlier in the day.
2.Avoid stimulants – Caffeine can keep you going long after you drink it. It is best to cut it out of your day by 2 p.m. Avoid alcohol or nicotine within three hours of bedtime. Additionally, avoid eating large or spicy meals for two or three hours before bedtime. Your body isn't meant to be digesting food while you sleep.
3. Set regular hours –Keep a consistent sleep/wake schedule, even on weekends. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day sets the body's "internal clock" to expect sleep at a certain time night after night. Staying up and sleeping in later than normal on weekends can shift your body's natural clock in the same way that cross-country travel does and make it extra difficult to fall asleep on Sunday nights.
4. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine –Your body needs time to shift into sleep mode. About an hour before bed, calm your body and mind with a relaxing pre-sleep routine. Unplug from all electronic devices and avoid any stressful or stimulating activities. Take a bath (the rise, then fall in body temperature promotes drowsiness), read a book, watch TV, or practice relaxation exercises.
5. Manage stress –When you have too much to do – and too much to think about – your sleep is likely to suffer. If you find your mind racing in bed, instead work through your thoughts about the day – or the next day – before getting into bed. Take some time in the evening to process your thoughts about the day. Clear your head of tomorrow's tasks by writing your plan or "to do" list for the next day and leaving it for the morning.
6. Create a relaxing sleep environment – Reserve your bedroom for sleeping and sex only. Your bedroom should be cool, free from noise that can disturb sleep and free from any light. The Better Sleep Foundation suggests to consider using blackout curtains, eye shades, ear plugs, "white noise" machines, humidifiers or other devices to reduce distractions that may
interfere with sleep.
If you try the suggestions above and find that you still are having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, talk to your doctor or a sleep medicine physician to determine what factors are keeping you from sleeping. You can also contact your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for confidential counseling, referrals or information. Your EAP is available to you or your dependents to help you with most-any personal, family or work-related issue.

Elie's having an amazing day. He has a few errands to run and agreed to do even more of mine. He dropped of his sister. He's decided to get a gun. It's a decision that he has made and for which I have offered no opinion other than to warn my younger children that they are never to touch it.
They know this. It was a reality when Elie had an army gun, and remains a reality long after. They know never to touch a gun. It is not a toy. We live a few kilometers to the east of Jerusalem - this makes us obstacles to peace in the eyes of many. Too many times, there have been terrorist attacks against unsuspecting Israelis - and it was an armed civilian who acted quickly and saved many lives.
Not everyone in Israel has a gun. Not every "settler" has a gun. These are lies others spread to make it seem like we live in a violent country. And yet, on the day Gilad Shalit was freed, the ninety injured people - were all on the side of the Arabs. It was their weapons they shot in the air; their bullets that fell to the earth injuring people. All we did on our side was sing and dance, wave flags and send up our prayers that Gilad would be healthy.
So, Elie went to the Interior Ministry to pick up a form. As a combat soldier, the process for his getting a gun is shorter than for most people. He has already received high enough security clearance, already been armed for several years and will be trusted. The process for him will only take...a few months. I like that someone cannot walk in and walk out with a gun; not in a day, not in a week, not even in a month.
He completed the form and took in yesterday. He went first thing in the morning, figuring that would get him in before the lines. Only there were no lines, because on Mondays, they only open in the afternoon. He came back to my office and worked on the computer until he could go there. He arrived, got in line, only to find they wanted proof that he lived where he said he did. Apparently, for a gun license, they don't even trust their own computers. He needed a bill from the city saying he lived in the house. Except, the house is in our name and so he needed to bring bills showing that we live there, and then mail or something that he received showing that he lives there too). He also needs a letter from the city.
So today, Elie's lucky day began. I left early with Shmulik this morning (that's the next post) and Elie did me the first favor of driving his younger sister to school. She's a crossing guard today ("crossing people is fun") and has to get there early. Elie dropped his sister off and went to the City Hall building. They open only at 8:00 a.m. and he got there about 7:20 a.m. figuring he'd have a long wait. A woman there saw him and told him to come in, she would help him right away.
He called me 10 minutes later to tell me he already had the forms he needed. He was thrilled to have saved that extra time and explained he was now going to drive to Jerusalem. He drove up the hill- no traffic...and amazing thing by itself. Pulled into a parking lot where he could catch the train, and a moment later, the train arrived. He was thrilled.
He got to the Ministry of Interior and though there were many people, the line moved quickly. He was out before he even expected to be in...and so his day has gone. I can only help it continues.
Meantime, I drove to work with Shmulik. He wanted to use my car to go to an appointment in the center of Israel and agreed to go with me early in the morning. The problem was, my car is not insured for him as a young driver and so we have to activate a special clause in the insurance that covers him for the day. It costs only about $15 and gives us the freedom to allow for another driver when we need it.
Unfortunately, things were hectic yesterday and I didn't have time to call...so as I was driving, much earlier than I expected the insurance company representative to be in, I told Shmulik to give it a try. Following a long series of taped options, we were actually able to insure him. They even gave us a confirmation number.
With that in hand, I waited 15 minutes, pulled to the side of the highway and said, "here, you drive!" He was happy and I got a chauffeur!
As he was driving, earlier than I am normally on the road, we saw a bad accident with a car in the middle of the highway laying on its side. Police were already onsite, anyone who had been hurt was long gone and it looked like they were examining why the accident had happened.
I know the occupant of that car isn't having a lucky day but it was interesting how the role of comforter has often moved to my children. It looked like a bad accident - the front windshield was gone, the airbags expanded. Like a child without thinking, I asked, "Do you think anyone was killed?"
Shmulik right way answered, "No, it's a strong car." I was sure he was wrong. Turns out, the kid was right in so many ways. He said he thought the driver was going too fast; that there was no other reason why the car would have turned over like that by itself. (Here's the report in Hebrew http://www.hnn.co.il/gallery16039.html). But most important is that the driver was only lightly injured - and so yes, perhaps even he can consider today lucky!
And one final word on today - today is my 29th wedding anniversary to a most wonderful man. So yes, today is indeed special and I'm so glad my kids are basking in the luck and the love of the day.
Here's hoping you are having a lucky day today and that it continues. And for those who say there are no coincidences and no luck - only a Greater Plan, I'll hope that God smiles you all of us today, gives us peace and safety, health and happiness...and maybe, if I can ask, light to no traffic on the way home.

Happy Anniversary, Paula!
Always nice when you have a chance to post about normal life in Israel. As much as I enjoy reading your posts about the latest political or terrorist event, I really appreciate the family and cultural posts even more!
Again, Happy Anniversary!

At 77, El Faro claims to be New York's oldest Spanish restaurant. Yes, the flamenco murals have browned, and the tabletops have yellowed. One has to wonder, though: Has the paella always been this bland? Has the garlic always been so elusive in the shrimp al ajillo? And have the spicy clams burgalesa always been one of the few dishes with pizzazz? Maybe. But in truth, it hardly matters. Every longtime New Yorker has an El Faro story; that history, along with the atmosphere and fine sangria, is what keeps crowds coming back.

Wise Men Distracted
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... A chick named Kate stumbled across a guild unlike any she had ever encountered. After a brief conversation over some wings and beers, she quickly realized these were not the typical noob guilds she was accustomed to dealing with. These guys were smart and saavy, cool and collected, rich and beautiful... basically the most interesting guild in the world! They had mastered every facet of the game called Urban Rivals, and probably life too. And what's more, they were incredibly humble... Well Kate knew instantly that she just HAD to join this guild somehow. After years of arduous training (and hazing), she finally was able to call herself a proud member of Wise Men Distracted. And all was good for many years, until one day the Wise Men found out that Kate was a cheating little tramp who betrayed WMD by secretly awarding Cr's to noobs that didn't deserve them. Can you believe it?! So the Wise Men used their Wise Powers and transformed Kate into a lvl 1 noob, and banished her from all guilds permanently. Nobody ****'s with WMD!
We are wise (most of the time), men (and women! - still looking for 3-gendered aliens to join), and distracted (not that distracted... oooh... I have another life in Candy Crush... be right back)...
care to join us?
Send your inquiries along with a 100K clintz processing fee to your favorite WMD admin (processing fee waived for appropriately wise and unwise, distracted and not-so-distraced applicants).
It's not a coincidence that I am distracted by such a simple miscalculations folks.
It's.......W-M-D.....UU-EM-DEE.....DEE-DEE WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY LABORATORY!?
WMD, thats all that needs said, i feel like a boss everytime i best someone with the tag, so why wouldnt you wanna join the biggest baddest guild around? The mushroom clown says it all folks.
What's math?
Forget Math, Infy, wth is a mushroom?
Mmm... mushrooms... now I want a steak...
Haha, Daex Sr (your son is also gonna be Daex, as i learn from a reliable source ), Bauldy and me were having a chat the other day, and I was saying I was grilling a 16 oz T-bone and he refused to hearken to my opinion that it was a great one and said bah, he was a venison man. I asked him how the hell? Ain't it a crime to shoot a deer, he told this ignoramus that it's actually them Scots' favourite pastime and they are actually deer farmers.
Holy Moly, I should actually take a hard look at migrating to the highlands.....
Best meat in the world is venison. We farm over 80 red deer just outside Glasgow so no trip to the Highlands needed. Most supermarkets like Morrisons are selling it these days. Mostly burgers and sausages though. The best stuff is steaks and roasts which you need to find a butchers or farm shop to buy.
Venison is delicious... I grew up in a hunting family, so it was very common to pull out deer or moose meat for dinner
Just about done the 2 moose my brother decided to shoot on the same day

Abenomics Is Already Old in Japan
"No recovery without structural reform." Japan's prime minister earned plaudits with this pledge and his plans to deregulate the economy, pull more women into the workforce, lower trade barriers, cut corporate taxes, promote innovation and end deflation once and for all.
The leader in question isn't Shinzo Abe, but Junichiro Koizumi, prime minister from 2001 to 2006. Wonder why most of the enthusiasm about the reforms embodied in "Abenomics" comes from overseas, not from Japanese? The nation's 126 million people have heard it all before.
That's why Japanese weren't shocked today that Abe again delayed details for his much-awaited structural changes. Foreign investors clearly were. They have liked what they heard enough to drive the Nikkei 225 Stock Average up 25 percent this year. But they wanted Abe to use his speech today to flesh out his "third arrow" to buttress the first two, monetary and fiscal expansion. They were left disappointed.
It's a bad omen. Surely, Abe noticed the recent retreat in stocks -- the Nikkei fell 3.8 percent today -- and bond yields. Investors are anxious for details on how and when Abe will bring about broad reforms in the face of a change-averse political establishment. Abe's response: please be patient.
Why? Because it won't be easy to get his party behind all the needed reforms: reducing regulation, ending gender discrimination, loosening labor markets, improving corporate governance, welcoming more foreign talent and ending the over-reliance on nuclear power in a country that sits atop one of the world's most seismically active fault lines. Vested interests will stymie Abe at every turn, so why not just put off the battle?
Without these changes, though, Abe's legacy will be akin to Koizumi's: a well-intentioned reformer who failed to implement his vision and only provided a temporary boost to an economy plagued by deflation. Abe has another chance to lay out a program when he speaks on June 14. Will he? Or will he wait until after next month's elections or even the fall?
Koizumi's slogan, remember, was "reform without sacred cows." And credit where it's due, he did slay one of the most sacred beasts: he privatizedJapan's sprawling postal system, which served as a multitrillion-dollar piggy bank that corrupt politicians used to fund their pet projects. For a time, Koizumi was even heralded as Japan's answer to Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.
In January 2002, when Koizumi unveiled his own third arrow, he declared: "Structural reform measures have been carried out steadily since I took office. I will make an all-out effort to proceed with the policies I've followed since I became prime minister, without slowing the pace of structural reform.''
As if. Just about everything Koizumi promised was left on the drawing board. It's great that Abe is reviving those ideas, and taking things a step further by prodding the Bank of Japan to double bond purchases. It's just not clear he will have the political courage to see these reforms through. On that score, today's decision to keep investors in suspense isn't a promising sign.

The New York Times on Thursday announced a major push into higher education -- with new efforts to provide distance education, course content and social networking. A number of colleges are already either committed to using the new technologies or are in negotiations to start doing so, evidence of the strong power of the Times brand in academe.
As information technology leaders convened for the Educause meetings Thursday in Seattle, they talked about some of the same issues that are attracting attention in higher ed outside of technology circles: links to K-12, making courses more engaging and measuring what students learn.

What happens when you mix the fuzzy camo and outdoorsy styling of Poler with the superior technology and athletic expertise of Nike? Well, if you throw a little snow in there too, you get the Nike Vapen Poler Snowboard Boots. The neoprene Flex Notch acts as an articulating cuff to provide you with the right flex to move your board without making sloppy lines, and the webbing lace system is simple to use and stays tight, keeping your ankles and calves in place. The heat moldable liner is both custom and comfortable, while the Kaiju last offers a low-profile fit that won't feel too bulky and take you over as you cruise down the hill. Rep two of Oregon's most iconic brands and shred the gnar in the Nike Vapen Poler Snowboard Boots.

Comments about Nike SB Vapen Poler Snowboard Boots 2014:
Unreal, had them for 2 years now and they look almost as if out of the box despite averaging around 30 days the last 2 seasons. Super comfortable and lacing system is quick, easy and will stay tight throughout the day.

Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!
Disguises and false identities abound as men - both young and old - vie for the hand of Rosina in one of the funniest and most frenetic operas ever composed! Rossini's most popular opera returns to the Metropolitan Opera with Pretty Yende as the beauty Rosina and Javier Camarena as Almaviva, the romantic youth trying to woo her, and Peter Mattei as the inimitable Figaro.
The first in the trilogy starring the mischievous Count Almavira and his wily servant Figaro as they take on the adventure of wooing the witty beauty Rosina, right out from under the nose of Dr Bartolo. With devious disguises, meddlesome mishaps, the fate of the heart of this young girl is one thrilling and hilarious ride.
