Top 10 value hotels in the US

Ayres Hotel Anaheim

 (Ayres Hotel Anaheim)

Ever regret the amount of money you spent on a hotel room when it came time to check out? By their very definition, hotel rooms are fleeting pleasures, so overspending on them is to be discouraged in these troubling economic times. The comforting news is that there are a number of properties in cities around the country that offer excellent value and amenities for the financially challenged traveler. Our Top 10 list takes a look at the very best — from a classic hotel on the East Coast to hip digs on the West Coast. Click here to read complete reviews for each top 10 value hotel.

Anaheim, California
Ayres Hotel Anaheim

Anaheim has more than its share of budget hotels for families visiting Disneyland and business types attending conventions. Sadly, most offer somewhat generic fare. Because of this, Ayres Hotel Anaheim stands out. Deliberately done up in classic European décor, it features ivy, gas lanterns and a lobby with marble floors, oil paintings and a fireplace for chilly SoCal nights. Rooms and suites pair luxuries such as hand-crafted wooden beds and velvet drapes with practical niceties like flat-screen TVs, fridges and microwaves.

Free perks add to the already good value: Wi-Fi, deluxe hot breakfast, evening reception and guest parking. There are meeting rooms, a pool and a fitness center on-site. Guests can walk to the Honda Center, Angel Stadium and The Grove of Anaheim, and Disneyland can be reached directly from the hotel via the Anaheim Resort Transit.

Los Angeles, California
BLVD Hotel & Spa

More On This...

Sure, "the Valley" is the butt of many an L.A. joke. But it's also quietly developing its own cachet, as well as a small but notable collection of stylish hotels. Among them, BLVD Hotel & Spa is a steal of a deal. With room rates starting at roadside motel prices, this place offers surprising luxury.

The décor leans toward retro and is done in cozy shades of blue and brown. And although the property is a small one, it boasts a swimming pool, spa, café and bar serving drinks named after famous Los Angeles boulevards. Better yet, you can walk to Universal Studios, and although the beach is a bit of a haul, you're well-located for visiting Hollywood attractions and the many new boutiques, galleries and restaurants downtown. To get the most value out of this place, book a room with a view of the mountains — one of the perks of staying in this part of town. Click here to read a complete hotel review of BLVD Hotel & Spa.

Napa, California
The Meritage Resort at Napa

This wine country resort offers everything one could hope for from a Napa property, and then some, including wine caves that house a full-service spa and (in a separate area) a wedding chapel. Guest rooms feature gorgeous vineyard views, and executive suites have full gourmet kitchens for intimate entertaining. But if you'd prefer to have the pros cater to you, Siena restaurant serves "Napa Terroir-influenced" dishes made with locally sourced ingredients.

For recreation, guests can enjoy a wealth of activities right on the grounds, from swimming, bowling and bocce ball to vineyard hiking and lounging around the outdoor fireplaces. Best of all is access to on-site Trinitas Cellars Tasting Room, which offers wine tastings in its atmospheric Estate Cave.

Miami, Florida
Hotel St. Augustine

South Beach has long attracted the jet set, but it's not necessary to spend big bucks to mingle with the pretty people here. The restored, Art Deco-style Hotel St. Augustine is one of the area's best-kept secrets among locals and frequent visitors alike. The 24 loft-style guest rooms are done up with white décor, designed to create the serene atmosphere of a spa. Each comes with Wi-Fi, maple wood furniture and spacious bathrooms with spa cabins featuring steam and water massage systems. For added value, check the hotel's website for online specials and last minute deals. All rates include a generous complimentary breakfast.

Boston, Massachusetts
Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Boston - Downtown

In a superb Theater District location in downtown Boston, this hotel was influenced by its neighboring Asian communities and designed using feng shui principles. The guest rooms are fairly standard in style, but they're well-stocked with two phones, Wi-Fi, on-command movies, coffee makers, wet bars and more. In addition, guests enjoy complimentary access to the YMCA health club next door, which features an Olympic-size pool and weight rooms. Numerous business and meeting services are available, and house restaurant Wisteria serves casual French-Asian cuisine. There is also a Starbucks on-site.

Las Vegas, Nevada
Element Las Vegas

When the Commander-in-Chief came to Las Vegas to give a speech on energy policy, President Obama and his entourage took up the entire second floor of this hotel. Fifteen minutes from the madness of the Strip, it features more than just eco-friendly design and an electric vehicle charging station. Prices are low, and the stylish, natural light-filled guest rooms and suites come with kitchenettes or full kitchens. Freebies include wired and wireless high-speed Internet, Rise breakfast bar (muffins, fruit, signature sandwiches and more) and an evening food and beverage reception. There's even an intimate pool area, offering a pleasant alternative to the megaresort scene.

New York, New York
Hotel Belleclaire

We have been fans of this lovely hotel for years. The rates and location lured us in. The warm, personable service keeps us coming back. The hotel strives to find ways to benefit its guests, our favorite being the loyalty program. Simply referring friends to the hotel earns you meals and free stays — after just five referrals you can even enjoy a two-night getaway on the house. And referred guests are invited to trade in their business cards for complimentary bottles of wine.

The accommodations have been jazzed up since our first visit, in a style that has the same restrained, classic appeal as the surrounding Upper West Side neighborhood. As for what you can easily walk to from here, Central Park, the Museum of Natural History and the iconic Zabar's deli are just a few blocks away.

Dallas, Texas
The Magnolia Hotel

For travelers who need help finding their way, this hotel serves as a beacon — literally! It's located within one of the city's most recognized buildings, on top of which soars "Pegasus the Flying Red Horse," whose neon outline lights up the night sky. Southern hospitality sets a gracious tone at this property, where freebies include a breakfast buffet, cookies and milk buffet, and evening reception with beer and wine.

Among the accommodations, the historic rooms are the most desirable, showcasing wood floors, marble and original doors with glass transoms. The hotel has a 24-hour fitness center and popular lounge, complete with a bar and billiards room. Numerous attractions within walking distance include the flagship Neiman Marcus store, just around the corner.

Salt Lake City, Utah
Salt Lake City Marriott City Center

Situated in the heart of downtown, the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center is ideal for both business and leisure travelers, with a location close to the convention center and attractions such as Temple Square. It also makes a great urban base for sporty types taking day trips to area ski resorts. Perks include complimentary Internet access, as well as a fitness center and indoor pool with expansive views over the city. The attractive rooms come with marble bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and large, well-lit work desks.

For extra value, concierge level accommodations offer access to a lounge serving complimentary continental breakfast and evening cocktails with hors d'oeuvres during the week. La Bella Piastra restaurant and 15,000 thousand square feet of event space round out the hotel's facilities.

Washington, D.C.
Hotel Lombardy

A stay at the Hotel Lombardy means that you can enjoy your very own Pennsylvania Avenue address, where quality service and refined style do the White House-adjacent location proud. Within walking distance of the Lincoln Memorial, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the World Bank, this property offers traditionally styled accommodations in a historic 1920s-era building.

Along with imported fabrics, Oriental wool rugs and stainless-steel wet bar/dining areas, the uniquely decorated guest rooms and suites feature complimentary high-speed Internet access and spacious work desks. The house bistro, Café Lombardy, overlooks James Monroe Park. Additional perks include a cardio room and free passes to the seasonal pool at nearby Washington Plaza Hotel.

British Man Arrested for Wife's Murder During South African Honeymoon

Undated handout photo of Shrien Dewani and Anni Dewani (right) made available by the Bristol Evening Post.

LONDON -- A British man has been arrested at the request of South African authorities for allegedly arranging the killing of his wife during their honeymoon, police said Wednesday.

Scotland Yard said Shrien Dewani, 30, was detained overnight after turning himself in at a Bristol police station.

The arrest comes after a South African man convicted in Anni Dewani's murder accused her husband of paying to have the 28-year-old Swedish woman killed in what was staged to look like a carjacking on Nov. 13. Shrien Dewani has denied any role in her death. He will appear at London's City of Westminster Magistrates' Court later Wednesday.

Taxi driver Zola Tongo claimed Shrien Dewani approached him about killing his new wife the day the couple arrived in Cape Town, according to a plea agreement submitted in a South African court.

Tongo said he drove the couple from the airport to their hotel. Once the wife was out of earshot, the driver said Shrien Dewani asked if he could find someone to kill her. Tongo said Shrien Dewani offered about $7,000 for each person involved, but paid only about $145.

British news outlets have been speculating for weeks about Shrien Dewani's possible role. He told authorities the couple was returning to their hotel from dinner and had detoured to visit an impoverished township when gunmen forced him and the taxi driver from the vehicle.

Anni Dewani's body was found the next day in another township; she had been shot in the back of the neck.

Neither Shrien Dewani nor the driver was hurt. Suspicions were raised immediately because the vehicle was not stolen.

The family of Shrien Dewani, who has hired celebrity publicist Max Clifford to deal with the media onslaught, dismissed the allegations as "totally ludicrous."

Clifford said Wednesday Shrien Dewani maintains his innocence and is struggling to cope with the loss of his wife.

"He's devastated, and now all this on top of everything," Clifford said. "He's in a dreadful state." Clifford said he does not know if his client will fight extradition.

The case has drawn wide attention in Britain and in South Africa, where violent crime is high but attacks on foreign tourists are rare.

As a result of his plea bargain, Tongo was convicted and sentenced to 18 years in prison. He was expected to testify against the other suspects, including two South Africans who were arrested soon after Anni Dewani's body was discovered.

South African authorities said they have started the extradition process for Shrien Dewani, but that it is in the very early stages.

Payton’s defiant move is classic Parcells

Any doubt that New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton fell from Bill Parcells’ coaching tree instead of, say, Jim Fassel or Ray Rhodes has been eviscerated.

In his hour of darkness, shunned at least temporarily by the league that once embraced him, Payton pulled what can best be described as a Big Bill.

He blew on his thumb and up came his middle finger, and he did so in a way that is not punishable.

Days after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell meted out a year-long ban to Payton for his “complicity” in bounty-gate, the young coach found a way to reveal this as the joke it is. He reportedly approached Parcells about stepping in this season as interim head coach of the Saints. And just like that, what began as a way to punish New Orleans — and more importantly send a legal message — has instead become a possible tactical advantage for the Saints. They get one of the best motivators the game has seen, and Payton gets to live in Dallas with his wife and kids and watch. There is no bigger non-verbal insult than this.

And this is exactly what Payton seemed to be saying with his oddly worded statement apologizing for “what has happened” and now this flirting with Parcells. Whether Big Bill says yes or no, a message has been sent and, based on what I know of Parcells, he is laughing. His at-times combative protégé learned exceptionally well.

Coach Parcells was the king of the sly “bleep you” while in Dallas. This was never more so than in the case of Terrell Owens. Parcells did not want to sign The Player. This has come under considerable debate in the years since Parcells fled Valley Ranch — presciently declaring, on his way out the door, that in three years you would never know he was there. He told people this was not what he signed up for and was overruled, and so Parcells refused to call Owens by his name. He always called him The Player.

It was juvenile and small and had very little to do with The Player. This was about Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, what Parcells thought was their deal, and about sending a message that while he stayed in the circus ring he was not going to dance.

This is exactly what Payton did. While apologizing and doing the dance for Goodell, he has slyly sent messages that he does not agree. I have to believe he is not alone. Amid all moralizing about how Payton endangered players and kids and all that is good and holy, the truth is what he endangered was the games being played on Sundays to exorbitantly big crowds and for insane amounts of money. And that was really dangerous.

In all likelihood an 18-game schedule is way more dangerous to overall player health than any bounties by Saints players. So when Goodell flexed his power, it was more about whatever the legal terminology is for making sure the ugly behavior on the lower levels never touches corporate.

This all is a nice little debate about how much the league really wants to “help” former players unless, of course, you are Payton. The hypocrisy is probably a little harder to stomach if it is your career being put on hold so the commissioner can get a bunch of headlines about how much the league cares and how powerful he is.

You can not win, so you slightly rebel.

Parcells is the perfect rebellion. I keep hearing how there is no way Parcells wants back into this because he no longer has the stomach for everything the game demands. This is not true. He just does a better job of tempering that impulse nowadays.

He calls this a killer business and, for him, it is. It also has a pull for him.

The reason he gave for coming to the Cowboys was a chance to win on the big stage, and there will be no bigger stage next year than in New Orleans. (Except, of course, if Tim Tebow plays for the Jets.) There will be so many competing motivations in New Orleans, so many storylines, and an actual chance to win.

Imagine Parcells with an actual quarterback. The last time Parcells had one of those, it was Drew Bledsoe in New England. There is a pull for him here, as is there in helping Payton. The guy is not perfect, but he has become better at loyalty.

As a Big Bill fan, I am of course hoping he will accept.

If nothing else, I am looking forward to his opening press conference in which he says he appreciates the opportunity even though he is not a Hall of Fame coach. It is his way of blowing on his thumb for the benefit of the Hall of Fame voters, a lesson Payton obviously learned well.

Wii U: Black Ops II’s Best Console Version

News could be slow proper now, but that just means there’s even more time for us journalists to play games ideal? Suitable, and due to the fact Christmas I’ve been playing a lot of Black Ops II. I have in no way been the largest fan of Call of Duty, although I have enjoyed the original Modern day Warfare and a number of the earlier World War II themed games.

I got a $50 gift card for Greatest Buy through the holidays and I decided that finding an additional Wii U game in my library was a have to. A single issue I had noticed so far in playing my Wii U is that I hadn’t actually played a lot of factors online inside a multiplayer setting. How can I pretty judge how nicely the online technique is if I don’t do such issues?

So, just after scoping out an online deal that had the game $20 off, I decided it was time to produce the plunge in to the depths at which many Nintendo gamers happen to be critical of over the years: For the first time in four years I really bought a Call of Duty game. To put it in fair perspective having said that, this isn’t my 1st foray into Black Ops II. I had previously borrowed the game from a buddy to play on my Xbox 360 and I had exhaustive amounts of hours put into that version. Conversely, I spent some time using the PS3 versions at the same time over the course of two weekend romps at my cousins apartment.

Needless to say, I had played quite a bit of this game currently just before getting it for the Wii U, so I sort of knew I would get pleasure from it if for nothing other than the reality I didn’t must borrow the game any longer. Sure, part of me felt guilty playing the game since it’s supposed to be “generic and unimaginative”. It is surely no Borderlands 2, and I would hesitate to say it is improved than other IP’s out there. But man, just after all these years I not merely have an understanding of why Call of Duty is so attractive, I now possess a definitive view into why Nintendo is so high and mighty regarding the Wii U becoming as fantastic if not greater than whats offered for hardcore games. To put it bluntly, from the console versions of Black Ops II… the Wii U is merely the best of the bunch. Period, end of story.

Stories in Light and Shadow

The Passing Of Enriquez
When Enriquez Saltillo ran away with Miss Mannersley, as already recorded in
these chronicles,* her relatives and friends found it much easier to forgive that ill-
assorted union than to understand it. For, after all, Enriquez was the scion of an
old Spanish-Californian family, and in due time would have his share of his
father's three square leagues, whatever incongruity there was between his lively
Latin extravagance and Miss Mannersley's Puritan precision and intellectual
superiority. They had gone to Mexico; Mrs. Saltillo, as was known, having an
interest in Aztec antiquities, and he being utterly submissive to her wishes. For
myself from my knowledge of Enriquez's nature, I had grave doubts of his entire
subjugation, although I knew the prevailing opinion was that Mrs. Saltillo's
superiority would speedily tame him. Since his brief and characteristic note
apprising me of his marriage, I had not heard from him. It was, therefore, with
some surprise, a good deal of reminiscent affection, and a slight twinge of
reproach that, two years after, I looked up from some proofs, in the sanctum of
the "Daily Excelsior," to recognize his handwriting on a note that was handed to
me by a yellow Mexican boy.
* See "The Devotion of Enriquez," in Selected Stories by
Bret Harte Gutenberg #1312.
A single glance at its contents showed me that Mrs. Saltillo's correct Bostonian
speech had not yet subdued Enriquez's peculiar Spanish-American slang:—
"Here we are again,—right side up with care,—at 1110 Dupont Street, Telegraph
Hill. Second floor from top. 'Ring and push.' 'No book agents need apply.' How's
your royal nibs? I kiss your hand! Come at six,—the band shall play at seven,—
and regard your friend 'Mees Boston,' who will tell you about the little old nigger
boys, and your old Uncle 'Ennery."
Two things struck me: Enriquez had not changed; Mrs. Saltillo had certainly
yielded up some of her peculiar prejudices. For the address given, far from being
a fashionable district, was known as the "Spanish quarter," which, while it still
held some old Spanish families, was chiefly given over to half-castes and
obscurer foreigners. Even poverty could not have driven Mrs. Saltillo to such a
refuge against her will; nevertheless, a good deal of concern for Enriquez's
fortune mingled with my curiosity, as I impatiently waited for six o'clock to satisfy
It was a breezy climb to 1110 Dupont Street; and although the street had been
graded, the houses retained their airy elevation, and were accessible only by
successive flights of wooden steps to the front door, which still gave perilously
upon the street, sixty feet below. I now painfully appreciated Enriquez's

Masthead Mat Technique

Mashead Mat

Description: The Masthead Mat Technique is a type of circular weaving. It has features similar to the Pitcher knot, as well as the Maedate knot.

This unique decorative knot can be used to make flat items like coasters, pendants, and small rugs.

You can keep it small by using only one cord. To make it larger, simply add one or more cords, following the path of the first one.

Step 1: To practice, you need one cord, at least 36 inches long.

I recommend you use Parachute Cord (paracord), as in the images shown.

Make sure you heat the tips and melt the fabric, to prevent the inner core from sliding out.

  Three  Loops

Secure one end of the cord to your board, on your right.  Make three clockwise loops, starting 12 inches from the secured end.

Move from right to left as you create the loops, and mentally number them as shown.

  Overlap the Loops

Step 2: Move Loop 2 to the left, positioning it partly over Loop 3.  Position Loop 1 partially over loop 2.

Mentally label the 6 segments A - F, moving left to right. Secure the loops at the crook (top).

Locate segments C and D, which lead to the ends.

Those are the only segments that will be moved in the next two steps.

  Path of Segment C

Step 3: Form a bight with segment C. Move it to the right, weaving as follows:

  • Over segment D
  • Under segment E
  • Over segment F.
Secure the bight to the right of the loops.

  Path of Segment D

Step 4: Form a bight with segment D. Move it to the left, weaving as follows:

  • Over segment B
  • Under segment A
Secure the bight to the left of the loops.

  Weave End Through Knot

Step 5: Locate the end on the right, which leads to segment D.

Move right to left, weaving as follows:
over - under - over - under - over - under

  Ends at the Bottom

To complete the Masthead Mat technique, turn the design so the ends are at the bottom.

Gradually remove the slack from each area, until it's the size you want.

  Doubled Knot

To make the design larger, tighten and balance the knot slightly, leaving enough space for a second cord.

Starting at one end, use the second cord to follow the path of the first one. This will fill in the knot. Tighten it again after the second cord (or more) is added.

Pipa Knot

Pipa Knot

Description: The Pipa Knot is a unique Chinese Macrame knot that is based on the Figure 8 shape.

This historical knot has been around for a long time. It's been used frequently on ancient Oriental clothing as a clasp as well as for decoration.

This decorative knot makes a great pendant for jewelry, and can also be used to make very unique earrings.

I searched the internet for years to find the instructions to make this knot.

I finally found it in Decorative Fusion Knots, written by JD Lenzen

Be sure to click on the link or image to visit his site. The video gallery contain tutorials for many unusual knots.

  Fusion Knots
Step 1: You will need one cord, at least 36 inches long.

Be sure to use a project board and pins the first few times you create this knot.
Loop 1

Secure the right end of the cord to your board. Move up 6 inches and make a clockwise loop (1).

It's important to make this knot as small as possible, so Loop 1 should be no more than 1-inch in size.

Loop 2

Step 2: Make Loop 2 below Loop 1, moving in a counter-clockwise direction.

It should rest on top of the secured end of the cord.

Loop 2 should be slightly larger than Loop 1.

Loop 3

Step 3: At the top of the Pipa knot, bring the working end under Loop 1, to make Loop 3.

You should be moving clockwise.

Position it above the crossing point of Loop 1.

Loop 4

Step 4: Loop 4 is made in a counter-clockwise direction.

It should nestle inside Loop 2 (at the bottom).

Make sure Loop 3 is snugly wrapped around Loop 1 at the top, before moving on.

Loop 5

Step 5: Bring the working end up to the top of the knot to make Loop 5.

Pass it behind Loop 1, heading clockwise.

Make sure it rests below Loop 3 as shown.

Loop 6

Step 6: Pull the working end so Loop 5 is snug, and then make another counter-clockwise loop at the bottom (Loop 6).

Position it inside Loop 4.

Move the secured end to the side before completing the next step.

Loop 7

Step 7: Bring the working end to the top, and make the next clockwise loop (7). It will be very small.

It should rest below Loop 5 as shown.

Pass End Thru Hole

Step 8: As you bring the working end towards the bottom, make sure Loop 7 is snug.

Pass the working end through the opening inside Loop 6.

Make sure you hold the Pipa knot as flat as possible, if you need to pick it up to complete this step.

Step 9: To tighten the knot, first pull on all three  lower loops, in the order they were made. This will tighten the loops at the top. Keep them as flat as possible.

The second step is to pull on the ends as well as Loop 1 to tighten the lower loops.

Completed Knot

Here's the completed Pipa Knot.

The ends are fused to the back with glue.

When using Paracord, melt the cut areas with a flame.

“Welcome to the Fort Harrison Hotel”

Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of “Clearwater’s Heritage Hotel”

Visitors and residents from around the Tampa Bay area flood in for tours at weekly open house

From the restored hotel lobby to the L. Ron Hubbard photo exhibit in the 10th story Crystal Ballroom, visitors come to see the building and get their questions answered. Many long-time residents come to see how the Fort Harrison has fared after all these years and are uniformly delighted with what they find.

The questions came thick and fast every day for weeks, as residents toured through the landmark Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, owned by the Church of Scientology as an international religious retreat since 1975.

“What is Scientology?”

“Can you hold the open house every week? Can I bring my family or friends?”

“When is your new building going to be done?”

Everyone seemed to have a different reason for wanting to visit. Many wanted to see for themselves the event, meeting and restaurant facilities within the Fort Harrison now open for use by the general public. Long-time residents wanted to relive happy memories of growing up in Clearwater: a high-school cotillion in the Crystal Ballroom, that Christmas dinner in the Hibiscus Room or lazy summer Sundays spent relaxing in the sun at poolside. Snowbirds were drawn by curiosity about the historical architectural restorations of the past 25 years. But for many who stepped onto the marbled floor of the lobby for the first time, they had simply “always wanted to know what was inside.”

What they found were top-notch and well-maintained restorations of decor and furnishings throughout the building—which the Church accomplished in large measure by undoing changes of preceding owners, as many architectural details had been hidden by efforts to “modernize” the landmark.

Wrought iron work and brass railings throughout the lobby, first floor and mezzanine were fully restored, while the marble floor was entirely replaced due to age, and new lighting fixtures and furnishings were added to recreate the original atmosphere of elegance.

“Events of All Kinds”

Leading off from the lobby, visitors saw the additions made to the Fort Harrison since it first opened in 1926, including a rear wing housing the 1,500-seat Grand Auditorium and “the Cabanas”—85 guest rooms now renovated in a West Indies theme nestled in tropical greenery at the back of the hotel. Both annexations were made during the 1950s when the Jack Tar Corporation, then the Fort Harrison’s owner, undertook an extensive modernization of the hotel.

The Grand Auditorium has a rich history all of its own, having hosted such jazz greats as Woody Herman, Harry James, Stan Kenton, Count Basie and Duke Ellington. These concerts were the forerunners of Clearwater’s now nationally famous annual Jazz Holiday.

Tour guides explained that the auditorium remains a focal point for a variety of events, celebrations and functions, large and small. Special weekly events for members of the Church of Scientology are held in the expansive facility, which is also available to the community for weddings, banquets, conventions and local charity functions. Among the most well known annual events held in the Fort Harrison Auditorium is the annual Foster Children’s Christmas Party, sponsored by the Church in coordination with the Department of Children and Family Services.

The hotel tour also took in the fine restaurants, the Hibiscus and the Lemon Tree. The Hibiscus is open to the general public for Sunday brunches and dinners by reservation.

The health conscious were naturally interested in the perfect complement to the dining facilities: the hotel’s full service fitness center, including a gamut of professional exercise equipment, and saunas.

The tour also took visitors to the top floors, including the Crystal Ballroom—once known as the “Rooftop Restaurant”—and 10th floor terrace with its views of the Gulf and downtown Clearwater.

As Jenny Ramsauer, Director of Conventions and Events for the Fort Harrison told visitors, “the ballroom today hosts weddings, receptions, anniversary parties, orchestra recitals, poetry readings, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troop meetings, dances and other events of all kinds.”

Religious Retreat

Visitors learned that the Fort Harrison is more than just a well-restored, historic hotel, but it has been an international religious retreat for members of the Church of Scientology for more than 26 years.

Their tour guides explained how the central practices of the Scientology religion are ministerial training and auditing (from the Latin word “audire” meaning “to listen”), a unique form of personal counseling which enables an individual to increase his awareness and understanding of his spiritual nature. Auditing is delivered by an auditor, a minister highly trained in exact methods of this counseling unique to Scientology.

Church members—Scientologists—generally also train to become auditors themselves. In doing so, they gain a thorough understanding of the Scientology religious philosophy and basic principles, and learn to help others on a one-on-one basis with an actual spiritual technology that has a broad and practical application to all aspects of life.

One of the fundamental principles of the Scientology religion is that an individual can improve his condition by discovering his own answers to life’s problems. What is addressed in auditing is his ability to make those discoveries; as a result a person can then isolate factors that are hindering his survival and happiness, and handle whatever might be holding him back.

While auditing and training services are available at churches of Scientology around the world, the Fort Harrison, as the international spiritual headquarters for the religion, plays a unique and vital role. It provides advanced and special church services available nowhere else, and thus ministers to the hundreds of parishioners who arrive daily from around the world—from as far away as Tokyo, Moscow, Johannesburg or Sydney, Australia.

As part of their tour of the Fort Harrison, many took the opportunity to see how the electropsychometer—or “E-Meter”, a counselling aid used by Scientology ministers—works.

“See a Thought”

One feature of the tour visitors found particularly fascinating was the demonstration of the electropsychometer, or “E-Meter”, a ministerial tool used by auditors in personal counseling to locate areas of distress or travail.

The E-Meter device is a highly sensitive electronic instrument that measures the spiritual state or change of state of a person. When the E-Meter is operating and a person holds the meter’s electrodes, a tiny flow of electrical energy (less than a flashlight battery) passes through the person’s body and back into the meter. He feels nothing, but changes in what the person is thinking in response to the auditor’s questioning can then be detected in needle reactions on the meter’s dial. These guide the auditor toward areas of upset and help him determine what to address.

Visitors were given a special demonstration of the E-Meter and how it works, that enabled them to “see a thought.” The general response was, “This really works!”

Weekly Fort Harrison Open House

“The open house gave us an opportunity to invite our neighbors in, get to know them, show them how beautiful the Fort Harrison still is and answer their questions about Scientology.” – Pat Harney, Church of Scientology
These were but a few of the experiences the thousands of area residents enjoyed on their visit to the Fort Harrison open house. Many were also particularly attracted to the special photographic exhibit on the life of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, housed on the 10th floor in the Crystal Ballroom. (See also “Images of a Lifetime”.)

“The open house gave us an opportunity to invite our neighbors in, get to know them, show them how beautiful the Fort Harrison still is and answer their questions about Scientology,” said Pat Harney, the Church’s Public Affairs Director.

A commonly heard comment of guests was, “I had no idea this was all happening in this building.”

Tours were often capped with a lunch or dinner at the Hibiscus Restaurant, which quickly became a popular destination for guests of the open house. The food is prepared by an international cadre of chefs, and the restaurant is overseen by the maitre d’ who once served the celebrity patrons of the world-famous Chasen’s Restaurant in the heart of Hollywood. Comments were uniformly rave.

“Our waiter was marvelous,” said one guest. “The meal was superb.”

“I am not used to royalty type service like that,” said another.

Due to the popularity of the open houses, they will carry on weekly. The Hibiscus restaurant will continue to be open to the public for Sunday Brunch and dinner and regular tours will be held of the hotel and the “Images of a Lifetime” photo exhibit.

For more information call Pat Harney, (727) 467-6860.

The best way to approach “10 Cloverfield Lane” is to put all that “Cloverfield” business out of your mind and enjoy the movie for what it is: a taut, expertly calibrated thriller, set almost entirely within cramped quarters, about three strangers trying to figure out whether they can trust one another.

The protagonist is Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a fashion designer who wakes up after a car accident chained to a cot in some sort of underground chamber. Howard (John Goodman), an anxious, worrisome man who brings her food on a tray as if she is a prisoner, tells her there has been some kind of attack — a “big one.” Everyone she knows is dead, he says, and the planet is either contaminated or poisoned by radiation. They’ll have to wait a year or two before it’s safe to go outside.

Who is responsible? Maybe the Russians or maybe martians, Howard speculates. “You think I sound crazy,” he tells Michelle after noticing how she’s looking at him.

There’s another man living in the shelter, Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.), who doesn’t seem weird or troubled in any way, and he confirms Howard’s story. He tells Michelle he saw the attack — a big flash of red that consumed everything, like something you read about in the Bible — and he seems resigned to make the best of the situation and wait things out. What other choice is there?

First-time director Dan Trachtenberg, who landed the “10 Cloverfield Lane” gig on the strength of several TV commercials and the short film “Portal: No Escape” (which went viral in 2011), doesn’t string you along: Within the first 30 minutes, Michelle confirms that something horrible has indeed happened to the world and that leaving the bunker to go outside would mean a ghastly death. Besides, Howard has stocked his bomb shelter with plenty of food, movies, books and board games, and there’s enough food to wait out the apocalypse. He even installed a shower curtain in the bathroom. He’s a thoughtful, generous guy. But something about him seems sort of off.

Goodman has played likable teddy bears and sinister cretins throughout his career. But he has rarely had the opportunity to play a character that is both of those things at once. Howard is a cross between Dan from TV’s “Roseanne” and the salesman who oozed pus from his ears in “Barton Fink.” Goodman’s performance is so effective — you keep changing your mind about him — that “10 Cloverfield Lane” builds up a creepy aura of menace even though nothing seems to be happening. A scene in which the trio sits down for a dinner that goes from pleasant to psycho in a matter of seconds is a highlight.

Eventually, the movie begins to turn the screws, and Winstead, who entranced Michael Cera in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” and fought off shape-shifting extraterrestrials in the 2011 remake of “The Thing,” is forced to take drastic action. Yes, I’m being intentionally vague here because a big part of the film’s tension comes from not knowing what, exactly, Michelle’s dilemma is.

Unlike 2008’s “Cloverfield,” which was sold from the start as a found-footage movie about a giant monster attacking New York City, “10 Cloverfield Lane” is being marketed as something more mysterious. It’s a sibling of that previous film but definitely not a sequel. Still, the curiosity created by the ingenious trailers could backfire, leaving audiences asking, “Is that it?” “10 Cloverfield Lane,” which was reworked from a script originally titled “The Cellar,” is dark, nasty fun that gets better when you play it over in your head. But the plot holes seem larger in hindsight, too. Tamp down those expectations, then tamp them down some more.

Ran Blake & Jeanne Lee

Free Standards · Stockholm 1966

Fresh Sound Records

Ran Blake (p), Jeanne Lee (vcl)

Reference: FSRCD 791

In 1961 singer Jeanne Lee (1939-2000) and pianist Ran Blake (born 1935) emerged as one of the most innovative duos on the New York jazz scene. Presenting an almost freely improvised reading of standard and original melodies, they blended voice and piano in a manner seemingly without any boundaries except those imposed by their individual disciplines. It was a stunning combination, but aside from a few concerts, a local television show, a praised RCA Victor album, and an appearance at the 1962 Monterey Jazz Festival, they found little work in the US.

In Europe, however, it was a different story. There the duos subtlety, daring and wit, along with Lees warmth and precision and Blakes inventiveness, were immediately appreciated. They opened a series of well-received North-European concerts in 1963 at Stockholms Golden Circle and returned there three years later, when these examples of their unique artistry were captured in a studio recording session. In combination they pass, blend, meld, and move around each other in a manner both delicately nuanced and vaguely disconcerting, demanding attention in a way no other group of this kind has done.

Jeanne Lee, vocals on #1,3,5,7,9,10,12,14,16 & 18
Ran Blake, piano in all tracks

Recorded at Borgarskolan Studio, in Stockholm, Sweden, on November 8, 1966

Original recordings produced by Kjell Samuelson
Recording engineer Erik Lundberg
Digital re-mastering 1995 by Gert Palmcrantz

This CD release produced by Jordi Pujol

Stereo · 24-Bit Digitally Remastered

Background of the recording:

Ran Blake and Jeanne Lee opened their series of North-European concerts before enthusiastic audiences, when performing at the Golden Circle, Stockholm, in 1963. It was my pleasure to help launching that very special event. During the two following years in the Big Apple, New York City 1964-65, Ran and I had several opportunities to discuss, display and compare our individual approaches as fellow composers of contemporary music. A year later, in the autumn of 1966, Ran and Jeanne returned to Sweden for another appearance at the Golden Circle. Over a four-year period as professionals they had accumulated all the experience and musicianship that grew out of numerous concerts, club-dates and jazz-festivals. This time I was able to arrange for and produce a record session capturing the sublime artistry of their full-fledged duo, jet-setting the Globe on intercontinental flights. The recording date and music material was outlined to be focused on a composers session. Bingo, the recorded tracks came out too good to be true, and maybe just too good for the rock-eras discotheque in-crowds. Like vintage wine, the record tapes were bottled for almost thirty years, but are now opened to be enjoyed for gourmet tasting by connoisseurs, and released for the first time ever, and on a CD since all this music, 75 minutes, is previously unissued: Mmm-yumm Quality stays for ages.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wonderful stool! This stool is not only pretty it's comfortable. I've developed MS and can't stand for long periods of time and I love to cook, so I shopped for a kitchen stool both comfortable and would fit in with French country decor. Positive on both. The leather seat is well padded and supportive, I do not hit bottom no matter how long I sit on this stool. This is a great buy and they shipped it free of charge with UPS. Just attached the seat swivel platform to the base with 4 bolts that are provided and Wow!!! March 10, 2016

"So the question all comes down to "does it actually burn at true 16x?" The answer is more of a mix between yes and no, so how about maybe? Under Linux, you likely won't get a full blown 2.4MB/sec writing done. My results were pretty close to that, but were slightly off. It is also a matter of if your buffer is going to stay full or not. With the Burn-Proof Technology you are not supposed to get buffer under run errors, but it can still slow your burning. "

"The Pockey scores high on it's weight, size and compatibility. The installation is also a breeze, typical of all USB based peripherals. The drive's speed is relatively quick compared to the Iomega Jaz 2GB. Storage-wise, you have 6GB at your disposal, that should be more than enough for a typical multimedia presentation, else you could opt for the 12GB version. Despite its many good points, the Pockey has a few bad ones. Apparently, the case is not shock resistant, which means you should never shake or hit it during operation. Whenever it's not in operation, shaking it lightly is okay. Even though this is the same disadvantage found in normal notebook PC hard drives, Imation should look into introducing some form of shock protection for the Pockey device."

Apple gets Chinese to sing distribution deal

by on23 December 2013

Analysts think it will be a flash in the pan

Apple has finally managed to sign a deal China Mobile to sell its overpriced toys through the world's biggest network of mobile phone users. The tame Apple press claims that the deal that could add billions of dollars to its revenue, although saner heads think that it could be a flash in the pan.

Apple said its smartphones will be available to China Mobile customers starting January 17. Pricing and availability details for the iPhone 5S and 5C lines will be disclosed at a later date, it said in a statement. China Mobile has about 760 million customers, will begin registering orders for iPhone from December 25, the company said on its account on the Sina-Weibo micro-blogging service.

Apple has failed to dent the Chinese market, which has been largely sewn up by rival Samsung. Most of the problem is caused by the fact that average Chinese have no money to waste on something that will be obsolete in a year. Apple has also refused to drop the price of its gizmos.

Apple didn't disclose financial terms of the agreement. Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, said in its statement that China is an extremely important market for the Cupertino-based company. Wall Street is not impressed with the deal, which is seen as coming too late and not guaranteed to cement Apple into the Chinese market. It is believed that there will be a slight uptick in Chinese sales initially and then these will tail off just as quickly.

  • Greetings earthlings!

    We’re currently located in Los Angeles, California in the heart of Hollywood. Sunset blvd, 34° N, 118°W, in a building at The Crossroads of The World and we have finally begun recording our second full-length album with producer Shaun Lopez (Deftones, Far, Crosses). Also on board is Executive Producer Andrew Dawson (Kayne West, Lil Wayne). We always feel at home and the most inspired in LA, so inevitably we were drawn back here to find the perfect place with the right vibes to create this record. So here we are in an old set of cottage style bungalows, with the 1930’s still lingering around in the air. It’s insanely perfect for us. This past year we have been hugely influenced by retro-futurism, vintage outer space, and oddball classic movie soundtracks.

  • Jonathan Diener from The Swellers sat down and answered some questions from street teamers and fans. Here is Part 1:

    Does anyone in the band have any pre or post show rituals?
    We all have our own set of rules and rituals, but I think the most important law we abide by is NO EATING AN HOUR BEFORE WE PLAY. I’ve had some bad instances with a foot long sub a few years ago… We all make sure to stretch at least 20 minutes before we go on to prevent injury and soreness the next day. A lot of people think they’re invincible, but when you’re on tour your body acts like an 80 year old man. You smell and you hurt everywhere all the time haha!
