Cheffing and blinding: Gordon Ramsay and Michael Winner (Georgina Hristova)
I'm an immense fan of Gordon Ramsay. He's one of the greatest chefs in the world. By comparison, our other three-Michelin-star cook, The Waterside Inn's Michel Roux, is fit only for motorway cafes. Gordon also possesses, in abundance, something M Roux does not: charm. He's enormously likeable, direct and warm.
I've been a fan of Claridge's for 60 years. But the marriage of Ramsay and the hotel worried me. I liked Claridge's restaurant as it was under John Williams. It was simple. The staff were delightful and straightforward. I had some superlative meals there. However, life progresses.
As the Claridge's doorman opened the Bentley door, he said: "Look, Mr Winner, it's buzzing." Through the entrance doors, I saw a new Claridge's. They'd previously redecorated the lobby and the downstairs lounges; now they'd changed the restaurant and, above all, brought in Gordon. The American owners should give him a major bonus. It's become a crowded, invigorated, exciting place. Little bars here, groups sitting at tables on the way to the restaurant. It's no longer a delightfully eccentric, cavernous club for elderly Establishment personae.
After inspecting the chef's table in the kitchen - which is not for me - I settled into the restaurant alcove where I'd sat so many times. The Gordon Ramsay room is glamorous and excellently designed, although I greatly missed the windows, now obscured by a wall. Low-hanging lantern chandeliers provide pleasant perspective. The colouring, carpets and ambience are fine. The immaculately dressed mingle with the tieless. One man wore a black jumper and no jacket. My guests were David and Wendy, who decline to exhibit their surnames. They're married. He's in business, she's in television.
We got many superb freebies. "A sort of aubergine mush," I dictated. Also cream cheese with white truffle. The menu offered "Roast canon of lamb served with shoulder of lamb (cooked for eight hours), white bean puree, baby leeks, rosemary jus". Georgina asked to have the eight-hour lamb, not the other. The restaurant director, Dominic Corolleur, froze. "But canon of lamb is delicious," he said. He tried again and again to persuade Georgina (and he called her "Georgina", which was overfamiliar) to have both. "She's told him what she wants," I thought. "Why not give it to her?"
Dominic became offensively snooty. "I'll have to discuss it with the chef," he said, as if dealing with a total moron. I remembered the critic for The Independent writing of this restaurant: "My waiter was typical of French waiters, who know the customer is never right. His smile evaporated quicker than chloroform once he had taken my order. He then used the same script on the next table, like some double-glazing salesman working from a call centre in Cardiff"
After the debate with the chef, Georgina was graciously permitted to have only the eight-hour lamb. She liked it. So did Wendy, who had the full monty. My first course was superb - haddock and quails' eggs with a vichyssoise of leek and potato soup. But I became saturated with the profusion of freebie mini courses. They fill you up and make you less ready for the main events. Nothing, however, could have made me ready for my main course.
I used to love the chicken pie at Claridge's. Either Gordon or his chef, Mark Sargeant, had made some. It was the worst chicken pie I've ever eaten. I left most of it. Strangely, the only other awful chicken pie I ever ate was at a three-Michelin-star restaurant in Bruges, De Karmeliet. But this was worse. The chicken was in cloying cubes. There was no gravy or succulent taste, as with the old Claridge's pie. The pastry was white and abysmal. My friend David hated it too. He finished his. Then he went to the toilet. On returning, David ordered a Fernet-Branca. I understand why. The pie lay heavily on your stomach. "Lidgate, my local butcher, does a much better chicken pie," I observed. "Marks & Spencer's are good," added Wendy.
After that, the dessert freebies were exceptional, but the bread-and-butter pudding, made with brioche, was too sweet even for me.
There's a saying: "No good turn goes unpunished." Gordon had kindly made both the chicken pie and some pommes souflees for me. Pommes souflees are blown-up fried potatoes. They were not as good as under the previous chef. Gordon should stick to what he knows. The restaurant is lovely. Most of the food is good. It's "event eating", served with great pomposity and utterly lacking the old restaurant's understated charm. Gordon should be knighted for services to the nation. But for a treat, I'll keep going to his place in Chelsea. There, every mouthful is historic.
Having read every one of Michael Winner's pieces, I had still to make up my mind as to his seriousness or otherwise when it came to food and drink. Now - eureka! - he has confirmed this for me. Both he and the lovely Georgina drink red wine with fish (December 2), as does any non-snobbish drinker. Keep up the good work.
Mike Mogano, Solihull.
Michael Winner is to be congratulated. It appears from his photograph (December 2) that, having vented all his spleen and vitriol through his reviews, he has now attained the benevolent cosiness of a mildly helpful dinner lady who is just about to give someone an overlarge portion of semolina that they don't really want.
Mini Grey, by e-mail.
Obviously Michael's fame gets him a different level of service. The old Zaika in Fulham was superb. The new Zaika in Kensington (November 25) is awful. On joining my wife and her friend there, I was ignored and had to go to the bar to ask for a drink. I had to accost a member of staff to be given some menus, and again when we were ready to order. The food was disappointing, way below the Fulham standards. And the venue is not "buzzy and attractive" - it is simply noisy and depressing.
Rod Baker, Dorking, Surrey.
What an arrogant letter from the Russells about Sandy Lane (November 25). Did they actually stay there, I wonder, or just visit? Having just returned from a fantastic stay, we can confirm that virtually all the past staff are still there. Sandy Lane has the best staff in the world, and it is they - not bricks and mortar - that are the heart and soul of Barbados.
Jim and June Burgess, by e-mail.
I recently experienced a case of gastronomic political correctness that I feel compelled to share. I found myself staying at an Innkeeper's Lodge, with attached Toby Carvery, on the outskirts of Birmingham, where the restaurant offered a choice of roasts (good value at £6.45). A party of ladies was in front of me in the queue, and the chef, a personable young man, pointed at the sage and onion stuffing and inquired whether they would like seasoning. I remarked that, in Sussex, we call seasoning "stuffing". "So do we, sir," said the chef, "but we are not allowed to ask diners if they want stuffing."

PRINCETON, NJ -- Overall self-reported daily U.S. consumer spending in stores, restaurants, gas stations, and online averaged $65 per day in September, down from $68 in August and from the 2011 high of $74 in July. After two months of declines, spending has now returned to March and April levels, which are some of the lowest of the year.
Spending among Americans making at least $90,000 annually averaged $108 per day in September, down from $119 in August and $128 in July. This is the lowest spending level among upper-income consumers since March of this year, and just above the 2011 low of $102 in January. Upper-income Americans spent less on average last month than the $118 they spent in September 2010.
Americans who make less than $90,000 per year reported spending an average of $59 per day during September -- the same as they spent in August, but down from $63 in July. Lower- and middle-income spending has been nearly flat since March.
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke noted in his testimony before Congress on Tuesday that "Consumer behavior has both reflected and contributed to the slow pace of recovery." Gallup Daily tracking results suggest that is indeed the case. The pullback in consumer spending over the past two months coincides with an economic slowdown and a sharp decline in economic confidence. In turn, the decline in consumer spending does not bode well for the U.S. economy or the nation's retailers during the important holiday season.
Gallup analysis suggests there may be additional bad news for holiday sales, based on recent job market conditions. Gallup's Job Creation Index fell for the third month in a row in September. Consumer spending generally declines within four to six weeks of such a drop in job creation. The declines in spending during August and September followed a deterioration of job conditions during July and August. Therefore, September's further decline in job creation may imply a further decline in consumer spending during October.
In this regard, the job declines in the Midwest are particularly noteworthy. The early impact of a generally expected global economic slowdown may already be having an effect on job conditions in that part of the country. In turn, this deterioration of the jobs situation could lead consumers to cut back even more on spending.
Jobs tend to have relatively greater impact on lower- and middle-income consumer spending, while wealth effects such as those related to the declines on Wall Street and the continued drop in housing prices tend to have a greater impact on upper-income spending. Add in the growing lack of confidence among upper-income consumers, and the likely result is further spending declines among these Americans who have the most disposable income.
It may thus be a good thing that Bernanke also noted that the Fed is watching the current economic situation and is ready to act to promote economic growth if needed. With 8 in 10 Americans already thinking the country is in a recession, a further weakening of the economy as the holidays approach may well qualify for additional Fed action, whatever that might be.
National results for August are based on Gallup Daily tracking interviews with 14,487 national adults conducted Sept. 1-30, 2011. For this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point.
Upper-income results are based on Gallup Daily tracking interviews with 2,530 national adults conducted Sept. 1-30, 2011. For this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points.
Middle- and lower-income results are based on Gallup Daily tracking interviews with 9,668 national adults conducted Sept. 1-30, 2011. For this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point.

That being said, it really isn't half bad for what it is. As far as children's entertainment goes you can do a lot worse than "Race to Witch Mountain." The Rock is always fun to watch, and Robb and Ludwig are quite good as the two alien teens. It's not the kind of film you go into expecting greatness, but as a way to pass the time, especially for children, it's actually fairly enjoyable.
The kids saw this while I was watching LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (I had friends whip me afterwards as punishment!LOL!!) and they thought it was rather enjoyable.
Yeah it serves its purpose well. Kids will be entertained and adults won't be bored to death.

Date: Mon, 15 Apr 1996 10:54:04 -0400 (EDT) From: Larry Hunter <hunter@intr.net> I used the chocolate cake and chocolate frosting recipes in Lindsey Shere's Chez Panisse Desserts, substituting Lindt Excellence for her combination of semisweet and bitter chocolates. (By the way, Chez Panisse Desserts is an awesome cookbook, now back in print and even in paperback!) You could use any chocolate cake recipe you like; a very rich and buttery substrate is a good idea at this heat level. I then added the following to the batter (reserving a dozen for garnishing the top of the iced cake): Over a medium-high heat, stir the water and sugar in a small teflon skillet until the sugar is disolved. Add the nuts, and stir constantly until the water is mostly evaporated (about 3-4 minutes). Add the chile and salt to coat well, and stir constantly until the water is gone. Remove the nuts to a piece of wax paper, separating the pecan halves from each other with a fork if necessary. Let cool, and incorporate them into the cake batter just before pouring it into the pan. To make the habenero powder, I just put 4 dried habs in the spice grinder, and ground until very fine. Let the grinder settle for a couple of minutes before trying to remove the powder :-) Using finely powdered dried hot peppers of a lesser burn level would be appropriate for the non-maniacal chile-head.

Demand Media distances itself from junk with branded content
By Erin Griffith
Looking to shake its content farming, Internet-cluttering rep, Demand Media has kicked off a series of content partnerships with brands. The first to join forces with Demand is L'Oréal, which today announced it will work with the company to create branded content for two Demand channels: TypeF.com, a Demand website featuring Tyra Banks, and eHow Style, the company's prescriptive women's lifestyle site.
Demand, alongside L'Oréal, plans to launch a series of branded how-to videos created by makeup artists chosen by Demand. The videos will cover highly specific topics such as "How to create a smoky look on an almond-shaped eye" while featuring L'Oréal products. The videos will run on Demand's sites alongside display ads exclusive to L'Oréal, and Demand plans to build e-commerce and mobile apps around the effort, said Erika Nardini, senior vice president of sales and market development for Demand Media.
It's not unlike Demand's recent efforts with celebrity chef Rachel Ray and former Travel Channel host Rolf Potts, both of whom have partnered with the site to create original content.
The move to improve the quality of Demand Media content is motivated by a recent blow delivered to the company by Google. Until this year, Demand Media had driven search traffic to its sites, including eHow.com and Livestrong, by creating articles based on Google search requests. If you need to learn how to render mink oil or how to make money in a trailer park, for example (hint: reselling beer and cigarettes is key), Demand Media has an article, or 20, at the ready.
This form of algorithm journalism has been criticized by many, especially its writers. There's even a site dedicated to the Worst of eHow. And really, it is a little sad to read an article titled "How to Unlock Locks," which instructs readers to insert their key and turn it.
Google's response to the content farm backlash has been to change its algorithmic search to place less emphasis on what it called "low-quality content." While that move is mostly focused on scraper sites which copy and repost content, it has still affected Demand. Since February, when the changes were implemented, Demand saw a 20 percent traffic decline from search engine referrals, CEO Richard Rosenblatt said in the company's May earnings call. Tough game if your headlines are based primarily on search queries.
In that earnings call, Demand, which went public in January, beat street expectations and reiterated plans to combat its Internet junkyard reputation. The company, which typically pays $15 per article, said it plans to hire more experienced writers, to whom it will pay up to $350 per article. Demand declined to provide specific compensation levels for makeup artists in its L'Oréal videos but said payment "depends on motivation." In Demand's L'Oréal partnership, prominent makeup artists will be compensated, and artists looking to build their personal brands and media experience may not be, Nardini said.
Meanwhile, in the first quarter, Demand increased pageviews by 36 percent year over year and drove revenue up by 48 percent. The five-year-old company, however, continues to operate at a loss.

Q: Wait for value to be defined without setTimeout? I'm grabbing a value from somewhere and wanting to use it locally (using lodash):
const setting = _.get(this.settings, 'options');

this.settings.options is set somewhere else, and depending on the environment, this.settings.options may be undefined. In that case, I can do something like:
const set = (setting) => {
  ...
  ...
};

const getThing = () => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    const setting = _.get(this.settings, 'options');
    return setting ? set(setting) : getThing();
  }, 1000);
};

getThing();

This uses a setTimeout function to wait 1 second for this.settings.options to be set in that time, and if it's not yet set, the setTimeout function calls itself to check one second later. After that, it continues to the set() function with the acquired data. This seems to work every time, but it would be really nice if I could keep checking for this value until it is defined without a timer. I'm not sure if that's possible?
I've been trying to implement either a promise or use async / await to do this, but the examples I've seen also seem to use setTimeouts, and the solution ends up seemingly more complicated. Among others, I've mainly been looking at this answer. Regardless, I'm having trouble doing this with async / await and will have to continue troubleshooting that.
Is there a way to wait for this value to be defined without using a setTimeout or setInterval?

A: Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to do it.
If you can mutate this.settings (and this.settings.options is at least configurable), then you can define a setter, and wait for it to be triggered.
This is generally an ugly pattern (use it only if there's no other way), but still better than periodically checking the existence of a property.
Also note that this will work only if the mysterious code that sets .options uses [[Set]] (i.e., obj.prop = value or Reflect.set), and not [[Define]] (i.e., Object.defineProperty).
if(typeof this.settings.options==='undefined'){
  //Define a setter
  Object.defineProperty(this.settings, 'options', {
    set: (value)=>{
      //Remove setter, and transform to simple property
      Object.defineProperty(this.settings, 'options', {value})
      //Hypothetical function to be called with the result
      doSomethingWithTheValue(value)
    },
    configurable: true,
    enumerable: true
  })
}else{
  doSomethingWithTheValue(this.settings.options)
}

And, you can now easily rewrite this to a general function that uses Promises (and therefore supports async/await):
function getAsync(obj, prop){
  return new Promise((resolve,reject)=>{
    if(typeof obj[prop]==='undefined'){
      Object.defineProperty(obj, prop, {
        set: (value)=>{
          Object.defineProperty(obj, prop, {value})
          resolve(value)
        },
        configurable: true,
        enumerable: true
      })
    }else{
      resolve(obj[prop])
    }
  })
}

getAsync(this.settings,'options')
  .then(doSomethingWithTheValue)

//or, async/await:

(async()=>{
  const value=await getAsync(this.settings,'options')
  doSomethingWithTheValue(value)
})

From the arrival of Columbus on American shores in 1492, Native Americans were oppressed by adventurers and immigrants seeking minerals (gold) or land tracts. During the 1800's their land was invaded and they were forced onto reservations, and those Indians who did not settle to these small, usually barren areas, were termed as 'hostile' and were massacred by Union Armies. Even the 'Indian Territory' that was allocated to the tribes, was overrun and settled by the interlopers. These pages not only tell a very small part of the trauma, distress and heartache undergone by Native Americans, immigrants and the army during this period, but also, some of the atrocities committed by both sides during this period in American history.


Over 150 years old, the mosque – also called Masjid-e-Iranian – was built by a merchant called Haji Mohammad Hussain Shirazi. A hub of rich merchants, Bhendi Bazaar was then considered uptown, as was the nearby Byculla, the location for the Bhau Daji Lad museum. Today, it is a place of reverence for the Shia community.
The Iranian connect is clearly visible in the architecture of the mosque, also called Masjid-e-Iranian. Instead of replicating the Indo-Islamic architecture elsewhere in the city, the mosque bears no gumbaz(dome) and has only two minarets. Verses from the Quraan are inscribed on these as well as on the archway. The chandeliers and carpets inside the prayer hall are said to have been imported from Iran, as are the distinct blue tiles that give the mosque its uniqueness.
That first visit, I'm scuttled out quickly by the guard. Women are not allowed in the prayer hall and have a separate area earmarked for them inside. The courtyard is still accessible, and my subsequent visits are more even-paced. The guards still rankle, but they don't come in the way. Try noon or the period between Zohr and Asr for a peek inside.

Kristin Hannah is the New York Times bestselling author of many acclaimed novels, including Winter Garden, Firefly Lane, and Night Road. She and her husband live in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii.
Things aren't going well this holiday season for librarian Joy Candellaro. It was bad enough that her husband cheated on her with her own sister, but discovering that the couple is expecting a baby and receiving an invitation to their wedding sends her over the top. She flees to the airport and on a whim catches a charter plane to the Pacific Northwest. When the plane makes a crash landing, Joy survives but is left stranded at an old fishing lodge, where she meets the proprietor, a handsome widower, and his young son. She finds herself unexpectedly falling in love with both the precocious boy and his gruff father. Come Christmas Eve, Joy must decide if she can stand up to her real life or get lost in a dream world. This tale of magic, love, and fantasy will appeal to Hannah's many fans, but a clunky paranormal aspect may leave others scratching their heads. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 7/05.] Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
It's the last day before Christmas vacation, and Joy Faith Candellaro, a Bakersfield, Calif., high school librarian, is still fretting over finding her husband, Thom, in bed with her sister, Stacey. Although divorced nearly three months-and urged by everyone to move on with her life-Joy just isn't joyful. She's trying, though: she buys a Christmas tree and plans to get herself something spectacular to put under it. Too bad that Stacey's waiting in her driveway with a wedding invitation and the news that she's pregnant with Thom's child. Enraged and betrayed, Joy drives off-and ends up at the airport, holding a ticket to Hope, Canada. What will she do when she gets there? Who cares? All she knows is that life has to be better elsewhere. What happens next is Hannah's version of a Christmas ghost story, as Joy encounters a father and son whose own misery gives her a new perspective. Hannah (The Things We Do for Love) fans will enjoy this fare, but from the subtle-as-a-50-pound-fruitcake irony of Joy Faith's name to a plot twist that necessitates hanging disbelief on the mantel alongside the Christmas stockings, it may be a bit too much for the more skeptical to swallow.

Fans put merger in jeopardy
By Christopher Davies
THE Football League have cleared the way for Wimbledon to take over Queens Park Rangers, possibly in time for next season. The League said yesterday they would give "favourable consideration" to a takeover but that the clubs would have to move "quicker than Maurice Greene" to be ready by August.
Talks between the clubs have been going on for weeks and the League were officially informed yesterday. However, the League board said they would look at the implications of any merger, particularly for the League competition and supporters of both clubs. The board are to seek legal advice on the matter.
The proposed take-over would give Wimbledon, who share Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace, a better stadium, at Loftus Road, where they would not be tenants and take them closer to their spiritual home of Merton. For Queens Park Rangers, it would be a way out of their financial crisis, though at the expense of their individual identity.
If the deal goes through it would be the first amalgamation of two League clubs in modern times. Previous takeovers or mergers have broken down because of fan-power and last night supporters of Wimbledon and QPR were united in their opposition to a link-up.
Rangers fans are hoping a buyer can be found for the club just relegated to the Second Division and £9 million in debt. A consortium are scheduled to announce today details of their bid to rescue QPR, who are in administration and whose chairman Chris Wright stepped down this season after abuse from supporters.
Wright prepared to cut ties with QPR for £1
QPR find cupboard is bare
Nick Blackburn, Rangers' acting chairman, made a verbal proposal to the League's board yesterday and was told to return with formal written details.
While a takeover could go through in time for next season, a complication is caused by the fact work on the fixtures for 2001/2 begins on May 28. The League's annual general meeting on June 16 would need to ratify the takeover and insiders cannot see how it could be completed in time with the backlash from fans groups evident.
Should an agreement be reached quickly, the losers in the Third Division play-off final could effectively replace QPR in the Second Division. To keep the League up to 72 clubs, the team finishing bottom of Division Three may not be relegated.
Wimbledon and QPR plan to meet fans to gauge their views on Sunday, the final day of the regular season.
Charles Koppel, the Wimbledon chairman, said: "It is an opportunity to do something that would meet both clubs' requirements. We will talk to fans and if it is felt it is not the right thing to do we will take another route."
A statement by the Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association said: "We unequivocally oppose the merger of two separate identities, families and histories."
Libby Magrill, of QPR 1st, the supporters trust, said: "Proposed mergers with Brentford in 1967 and Fulham in 1987 were successfully opposed by the fans and any move to merge QPR with Wimbledon will be opposed by every possible means."
No details of the name or colours for the proposed new west London club, who would be the manager or what would happen to the players have been discussed. However, it is understood QPR will release around 20 players in the coming weeks and no one whose contract expires in June will have it renewed.
Ron Noades, the former Crystal Palace chairman, who owns Selhurst Park, said Wimbledon must give 12 months' notice to quit the ground.

Jennifer Billings has been named as the new city secretary for the city of Dayton.
Jennifer Billings has been named the new city secretary for the city of Dayton.
Billings has worked for the city for 18 years and began as a court clerk.
In 2004, she was appointed as court administrator and recently celebrated another certification in her area of expertise.
Billings currently serves on the board of the Texas Court Clerks Association, a job she cherishes.
In order to keep that affiliation with the TCCA, Billings must remain in association with the court in some capacity.
"I mostly have administrative duties over there and I've very excited about doing both jobs for our city," she said.
The move came earlier in the month following the resignation of former projects manager and city secretary Shannon O'Keefe.
O'Keefe gave notice earlier in the month that she would be resigning to pursue other career opportunities.
She had been reassigned back to her original duties as projects manager when she resigned.
"She was carrying a lot of roles at the same time," said City Manager Theo Melancon. "She was hired on as a project manager driving single projects to their completion. The city secretary role was a secondary role in a tight budget. Now we're in a better position to hire a full-time secretary and return her to her original role," he said.
O'Keefe has been working on her certified public manager certification and training for city secretary.
"I expect to see her continuing those interests, but she wanted to do that somewhere else," Melancon said.
"We wish her the very best, but at this time, she decided that the city of Dayton was not the place for her to continue," Melancon said.
Fortunately, Billings had been cross-training with city secretary duties in the event O'Keefe needed vacation time or assistance at council meetings.
The city manager said it was not only a good opportunity for those employees to grow in the profession, but for them to be regraded with their salary as well.
Billings will continue to oversee the department but the day-to-day activities will rest upon the shoulders of Pafford.
"Jennifer is outstanding and will do a great job for the city," Melancon said.

For years it was believed the brain was an elusive black box which we simply didn't understand. And it's true, scientific knowledge of the brain has been hard won.
But in recent years, we have actually begun to understand a lot more about the functioning of the brain and, increasingly, are developing new techniques to manipulate it and capture real-time data on its functionality.
These big leaps in neuroscience are not just impacting researchers—they're trickling into direct-to-consumer products and advancing all things quantified self. We are moving into an era that some are calling a "brain-based future," where any individual will be empowered to take their mind into their own hands.
From non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), tooptogenetics demos, we saw an impressive line up at Exponential Medicine last week of leaders using new technologies and research in neuroscience to bridge the gap between consumer and medical brain devices.
Here are a few of our favorite applications.
Divya Chander, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist and faculty at the department of anesthesia at Stanford University, is using what she knows about anesthesiology to hack the brain and understand human consciousness. Since 2009, Chander has been measuring depth of consciousness in her patients in real time with high-frequency EEG and spectrograms that categorize their brain frequencies.
What's next? Chander is developing a wearable device that crosses over from the medical device to consumer device market, and will measure an individual's brain function throughout the entire perioperative period.
"We'd like to be able to plot every patient's sleep the night before procedure, have them come in wearing the device during the operation, and then wear it after the operation to make sure they don't have cognitive dysfunction and delirium," said Chander.
Arshya Vahabzadeh works at the intersection of academic medicine and neuro-technology and is currently VP of health strategy at Brain Power, the company developing Empowered Brain, a neuro-assistive device for children with autism.
Using data-driven software that runs on Google Glass, Empowered Brain decodes emotions for children across the autism spectrum.
The software teaches critical social and communication skills—like how to link a facial expression with a corresponding emotion—through gamification in augmented reality. The software also continuously records behavioral and neural physiological data and then provides intuitive feedback to both the child and parent.
Corinna Lathan, founder and CEO AnthroTronix, believes there is a huge cost to ignoring brain health, and she's right. AnthroTronix recently ran a study showing that caregivers of individuals with a long-term chronic disease often become the "second victim," with their own cognitive functioning becoming impaired as well.
Lathan hopes that by more closely monitoring the brain, we can proactively take steps to improve its health and ease or prevent cognitive decline.
During the conference, Lathan presented DANA, AnthroTronix's mobile medical software application that was created for the US Department of Defense to support diagnosis and evaluation of cognitive functioning. The software is now FDA-cleared and, at large, is a push to make brain assessments a routine part of healthcare, similar to how blood pressure is measured during most visits to the doctor.

Headlies: "Full Name" Match added to Elimination Chamber
8 Submitted by Jordan Mishkin on Mon, 25 May 2015, 08:00
San Jose, CA – A third Elimination Chamber match has been added to the Pay Per View this Sunday with the stipulation that the winner will be given a full name.
Competing in the match will be Sheamus, Rusev, Neville, Cesaro, The New Day's Big E, and the returning Christian. The six Superstars gathered in the ring to discuss what having a full name means to them.
"All these fellas here have already had a full name at one point or another," said Sheamus. "But not me. I think I deserve to have a last name. Or a first name. I guess "Sheamus' can be either. The point is that I want it! I will shove my pasty arse in everyone's face if that's what it takes!"
"The Swiss Superman deserves to have his first name back," said Cesaro, receiving loud cheers of the crowd. "Do you know how hard it is to cash a check only using your last name? The teller is all like 'What's your first name?' and I'm like 'I don't have one, Vince McMahon took it away!'"
"I'm known as 'The Man That Gravity Forgot'" said Neville. "I'm also known as 'The New Sensation'. Those aren't first names! I miss being called Adrian. Even my mum now just calls me Neville. It's weird."
Rusev blamed his lack of a first name on United States propaganda and shouted a string of words in Bulgarian.
Christian said, "Hey, I'm just surprised as all of you that I'm still on the roster."
Big E, whose partners Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods would be taking part in the tag team Elimination Chamber match under "Freebird Rules", tried to get the audience behind him. "San Jose, California! I am here to preach positivity. I am positive that I used to have a last name. I am positive that most of you remember that last name. Now use that positivity and help guide me to regaining that which is rightly mine!"
The former Intercontinental Champion then began clapping and chanting "Big! E Langston! Big! E Langston!" to which the crowd responded with "Big! E Sucks! Big! E Sucks!"
In a statement, WWE CEO Mr. McMahon said, "Elimination Chamber is going to be a great event, particularly this 'Full Name' match. 'Sheamus Lipschitz' has a good ring to it. So does Copernicus Neville. Oh, how about Irving Cesaro?" Both my daughter, McMahon, and my son-in-law, Triple, can't wait."

Adrian Neville really needs to be Adrian Neville again – he sounds like he's just a bloke down the pub.
Samoa hopes to not be included in this match.
Kenneth Wise says:
Even with this stupid stipulation being added to it, I would still watch this match. The talent in it is too good to pass up.
Sheamus used to be Sheamus O'Shaunessy.
Alexandru says:
This would actually be a good match since everyone in it can "go" even though I'm not a fan of Sheamus and Rusev has no credibility. But yeah I don't get the point of WWE giving someone a full name and then dropping part of it. Just seems like it's more trouble than it's worth
Must be Triple's booking.
Or better yet, just rename him H. As in 1.

July 3, 2016 katherineannecharltonLeave a comment
July 4th, Independence Day.
14 years ago a boy watched for fireworks out the narrow window of his hospital room. He had asked for special permission to step outside of the hospital which had held him captive for the weeks prior to this day of celebration. He just wanted to sit outside, hear the sounds, and see the lights in the sky. They said, "No." But, at least he tried. He always tried. He learned early on in his life to ask for whatever he wanted, even if he knew the answer would be "No." I am still learning how to do this.
So, on the 4th of July, he tried again. Being told "No" didn't stop him. I watched as he tried again. Head cocked sideways, on his tip-toes, he tried peering out the narrow window, looking between the hospital and a giant research building that blocked his view of the world outside. He tried to see fireworks. I watched as he shifted his weight, stretching his neck and finally, giving up. Shrugging his shoulders, he put his head down, I could see he was sad. He just wanted a glimpse. He just wanted his freedom. He wanted his independence, too.
He was attached to an i.v. pole; 4 lines attached his body to this pole that controlled his existence. Three of those lines ran straight into his heart. His heart that wanted to be free and independent, was being held hostage by these lines. He, is my son Robert, and my mind's eye still sees him on that night 14 years ago.
He was fighting hard for his freedom and independence. Forgoing fireworks seemed a small price to pay for his life. He knew that, but he still tried, I love that about him.
Robert was smart. But, he was more than just smart, he understood the words that he overheard in all the meetings he sat in on with his parents and doctors discussing his disease. Robert knew if he ever wanted to live, to be free, to be independent, he had to be attached to this pole, and survive this horrible ordeal. At 11 years old, this boy understood that this was his last chance, his final hope, it was truly a matter of life and death, his.
Yet, the gravity of his condition did not keep him from wanting to see fireworks that night. He surely never imagined that would be his last chance to watch them light up the night sky in his lifetime. It was his last 4th of July. I should have lit up fireworks every single day he was alive. He deserved that.
But, you see, when you are in the fight for your life, you believe in the unseen. You believe what you are doing to save your life will work. You do the work, and you have faith.
Little did we know, the very next day was "do or die" time. The next morning they woke us up before the crack of dawn informing us the marrow was being delivered and would be ready to be infused into Robert in the next hour. We did not know it would happen this fast, or without notice. There were no labor pains to warn the arrival of my son's new life. What we did know was, it was his last hope. His body had been stripped down to nothing but cells dying off from radiation, chemotherapy, and countless other concoctions administered for this purpose, to seek and destroy everything that was old in order to receive new life.
It was surreal to stand by my son's hospital bed as the doctor walked in his room holding a bag of marrow that could save him; that bag was my son's only hope for living. And my son knew it. He wanted to see the bag. He studied it, I think he wanted to kiss it like it was the best fish he ever caught. He could not touch it, but he studied it. He asked them to turn it around so he could see all sides of it. He nodded his head, acknowledging it, bowing to its power, knowing he had to be ready to receive it-that was his job.
He laid back as he watched and listened. He was quiet. He was intentional. Robert was fully aware of every beep, every sound, and every breath being breathed in that room. He quietly stared at that bag and needle as they injected it into the line attached to his heart. I am sure he hoped for some sort of magical surge of "The Force" to bring him to life, yet, he remained quiet. He turned on his side when the doctor told him to. He listened as they watched him closely. I was glad he was on his side and could not see the panic and sense of urgency on the nurse's face as she watched for signs of destruction; his blood pressure shot up, other expected things happened, he turned red and his skin became very hot. Robert did not move. He stayed focused and calm. No doubt he was doing his job, receiving his new life giving marrow.
The unseen hope became our only hope. Talk about faith. Imagine knowing you are at your last hope. KNOWING–you are at your last hope…
Fourteen years later I remember knowing this reality. I stood by watching as someone was at the end of their rope, their final and only hope, their last hope, their only chance at life, if this didn't work then it was over…I stood and watched; I waited and believed. As Robert's mother my job was to believe. Oh, don't think for one moment I did not have a million other responsibilities to help my son win his freedom and independence, but I chose to take it to the ends of the unseen realm called faith and believe. I believed that every single cancer cell was killed off, even the ones they warned us would hide in his big toe or testicles and try to kill him. I believed in the unseen battle that raged in his body. So did Robert.
The fight for freedom and independence is rarely won by simply fighting with what we can see. We know it is won in the dark shadows deep inside of our minds, hearts, souls and spirits. We do battle every day against things that threaten our livelihood. Insecurity, hopelessness, self-defeat, lies we were told, hurt, fear, harm done to us, lack, and my goodness whatever else we conjure up. Not only did my son have to kill off his own body to live, he had to combat all the unseen feelings of depression, lack, hopelessness, fear…Robert personified faith. That kid did everything he had to do in the physical world necessary to live; and he did everything he had to in the unseen world necessary to live. He did the work, he had the faith.
On the 4th of July, Robert asked the powers that be to let him go outside to watch the fireworks. When they said, "No.", he didn't give up. Instead, he dragged his weak, hurting body and i.v. pole and tried to peer out the narrow window in his hospital room for a glimpse of the life he was missing.
He never gave up.
Robert, thank you for never giving up and having faith…

Slurping Some Soup
March 22, 2016 March 22, 2016 katherineannecharltonLeave a comment
Slurping chicken noodle soup, Robert looked up from watching Saturday morning cartoons, "Robert, I need to leave for a bit, will you be okay for about an hour?" "Sure Mom, I'm feeling a lot better this morning. I hope I can get out of here today." "I hope so too, I love you, I won't be long." "Love you too, Mom." I leaned down and kissed Robert's scruffy head of newly grown hair-I breathed him in a bit holding my face there for just a moment.
Five minutes prior, I had been sitting with a doctor who informed me that Robert's leukemia was back and he would die inside of 6 weeks. As he spoke, I stared at my 11 year old son watching cartoons and eating soup; the doctor's words traveled from his mouth, hovered in the air finally, piercing my ear. He offered no mercy, there was no hope, no clemency in his words. They were a death sentence for my young son. Robert had no idea what his mother had just been told. His fate was being sealed on the other side of a glass window…
I stepped out of the cold hospital to be greeted by a clear, crisp cloudless fall day. It was early October and as much as we hated being in Tennessee, the idea of watching the seasons change seemed inviting. Robert and I would drive around the winding roads taking in the lush green landscape and talk about how it will look once the season changed. It even smelled like fall that morning. I sat on a bench, looking into the cloudless sky, the words of the doctor resonating in my ears, the image of Robert sitting in his bed just like any 11 year old boy would on a Saturday morning watching cartoons. All I knew was, I had to call his Dad and repeat the words of the doctor.
Robert was elated to learn that his dad and older sister were coming back early. "Jessica is coming too? She will have to miss school, I can't wait to hear about school, heck I can't wait to get back to school!" They arrived late that day. The drive from the airport was silent except for the short conversation where the 3 of us agreed not to say anything to Robert until after his bone marrow aspirate on Monday. I did not know who I ached for more, Robert, his Dad, or my 12 year old daughter, the oldest of our 4 children. I did not even bother to factor myself in the equation of pain. There seemed no grace for a Mom at a time like this. It seemed my fate was sealed as well.
Robert's excitement to see his sister and Dad warmed our hearts. He quizzed his sister about school, told her about his new backpack and school supplies, how it felt "kinda cool" to be in Tennessee this time of year, fall, back to school time. "They had a big party for us, they gave us school supplies, some dumb Barbie dvd and there was this girl dressed up like Barbie." Robert talked and talked to his sister, they did what any brother and sister would do, acted like kids excited for new things.
The 4 of us spent Sunday together. Robert wore his mask to protect himself from as many airborne things he could, he had no idea we were told it did not matter what he did now. We had as much fun and laughter as we could that day. At one point Robert kicked us out of his room so he and his big sister could watch one of his favorite dumb movies. His Dad and I stood outside the room listening to them laugh like fools…we cried and laughed when they did. Robert and Jessica were thicker than thieves, my "Irish Twins." They loved being called that. I do not know how my 12 year old daughter kept the secret of her brother's fate those days, but she did. She wanted to enjoy his laughter; her bravery humbled me and made me stronger.
Monday came too quickly. It was October 7th. The hospital had begun decorating for Halloween. The kids talked about their costumes and wondered if Robert would be home for trick or treating. Robert's bone marrow aspiration was finished by late morning. His Dad and I were delivered the confirmation that his marrow was full of cancer cells. His transplant had failed. How were we going to tell him? Robert understood, as best as an 11 year old could understand, what it meant if his transplant failed. We all went back to our apartment. I knew I had to be the one to tell him. I also knew his Dad could never tell him, he could not even tell himself. No one offered us any hope, there was no mercy to be extended. Relapsed leukemia offered no leniency, and handed down a hefty sentence.
Robert, Jessica and I were lying on the bed in our room, Robert's Dad listened quietly in the other room. I had no words. What or how do you tell your 11 year old son he would not be attending the art school he had been accepted into with his sister, or that he might not be alive for Halloween? There we were, the 3 of us, huddled like puppies. Our heads together, me in the middle, my "Irish twins" on either side of me lying there anticipating an afternoon nap.
"Robert, I have to tell you something… Robert, your cancer is back."
As the words left my mouth they hovered above us as we hoped they would vanish into thin air, but they didn't; they landed right where they were intended to land…
"Mom, my transplant didn't work?" "No Robert it didn't work."
My heart slowed, I was gasping without making a sound…I could feel tears on my left shoulder where my sweet boy always laid his head.
"Mom, I don't want to die… I don't want to die…"
His words breathed out quietly, softly a plea for mercy sent into the thin air hoping not to vanish but to be heard to change his fate…
*Robert lived to trick or treat that Halloween, he died 6 weeks and 1 day later.

The Uncommon Life
Can Business Help Change the World?
The B Corporation community often compares the value that B Corp certification is for business to "what Fair Trade certification is to coffee, or USDA Organic certification is to milk." When we became a founding B Corporation in 2007, we committed to meeting rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. While we are proud to exceed the standards required by our certification, there is more work to do in using our business as a force for good. We know that we wouldn't be true to our values if we didn't take a stand for causes we believe in. What could happen if the value that business brings to workers' rights has the potential to be what the Civil Rights Movement was to human rights, or what the Women's Suffrage Movement was to voting rights?
On International Women's Day, we took an important step in our corporate advocacy efforts by announcing the launch of our interactive Paid Family Leave Map, a resource to learn the status of your state's paid leave campaign and take action.
Most Americans don't get paid time off to care for a new child or seriously ill loved one. Click the map to help make paid family leave happen where you live.
During the launch, Jay Curley, the Senior Global Marketing Manager for fellow B Corp Ben & Jerry's, visited our team to speak to us about how businesses can be activists and help change the world. We couldn't have been in better company that day. Ben & Jerry's has a long, successful, and delicious history of advocating for important causes through creative campaigns. Ever enjoyed a carton of "I Dough, I Dough"? That flavor was created for their campaign to support marriage equality. What about a scoop of "Save our Swirled"? That flavor was created to send out a SOS for our planet. Ben & Jerry's is not only an inspiring example for B Corporations, but also an example of how a business can incorporate advocacy initiatives to reflect its core company values.
David Bolotsky, Founder and CEO of UncommonGoods, and Jay Curley, Senior Global Marketing Manager of Ben & Jerry's
In circles devoted to corporate activism, Jay is seen as an absolute rock star (having him here was basically like having a front row seat to The Boss). It was cool to get the (forgive me) scoop on how Ben & Jerry's continues to positively impact the world beyond serving my favorite ice cream. What made it particularly exciting was having the map released, which started when our Founder and CEO, David Bolotsky, made a pledge while on the stage with Jay during the B Corp Champions Retreat last fall.
There, Dave and Jay sat on a panel titled "Corporate Activism 101: B Corps & Brand Advocacy and Activism" alongside Activism Manager of Ben & Jerry's, Chris Miller, as well as Ashley Orgain, Seventh Generation's Mission Advocacy and Outreach Manager. The pledge was at the end of their session when Dave stated that we would take several steps to support advocacy efforts toward Paid Family Leave: the most public and customer facing advocacy effort we have made in company history. I was in this session and was eager to get back to tell our team that we had promised to take further steps to support advocacy efforts toward Paid Family Leave.
UncommonGoods Founder and CEO David Bolotsky speaking at the panel "Corporate Activism 101: B Corps & Brand Advocacy and Activism"
Two weeks removed from the launch, we appreciate the overwhelming support from our community as we continue to get word out on the importance of paid family leave.

Not very many people travel to Bhutan, but when they do, fabulous stories of this isolated and exotic destination emerge. From forests to monasteries and everything in between, read what these four travelers experienced on the Fall Festivals of Bhutan trip, one of the Bhutan travel packages we offer at Journeys.
We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Bhutan: Druk Yul: the land of the thunder dragon, the most isolated and exotic land in the Himalayas. Roughly the size of Switzerland, it is almost entirely mountainous, ranging in altitudes from as low as 350 feet to as high as 24,000 feet. This helps to explain Bhutan's long-term isolation from the rest of the world until the 1960's.
About 70 percent of Bhutan's 18,000 square miles is forested, and the nation treats nature with admirable respect. The king is young and environmentally sensitive, and many of the country's higher regions remain nearly free of the footprints of man, untouched examples of the fast-disappearing Himalayan environment.
Bhutan is a very Buddhist country, so it is no surprise to see monasteries everywhere you go throughout the country. They are mostly perched way up high on the mountaintops and hidden deep in the river valleys. It is the intent of the location to give the monks peace and solitude so they may meditate their lives away in trying to achieve the final Nirvana.
The most revered and also the most famous monastery—and most famous piece of architecture in the country—is the Taktsang, or Tiger's Nest. It is the destination of all reverent Buddhist pilgrims in Bhutan at some time in their lives. Located about 3,000 feet above Paro Valley in western Bhutan at an elevation of 10,200, it was founded in 747 AD by Guru Rinpoche (previous teacher), the second Buddha. Legend has it that he landed on this spot from neighboring Tibet astride a flying tiger, bringing the tenants of Buddhism with him. The monastery almost defies gravity as it seems to literally hang on the edge of a sheer drop of over 3,000 feet belo w. Needless to say, it was a bit scary once we got into the structure and looked out and down. The location is startling, with nothing breaking the silence except a waterfall, the call of a raven, the fluttering of prayer flags, and the chanting of a few monks.
We started our hike up at the trailhead about 7,500 feet and went up a trail of about 2 miles to the site at 10,200 ft. We were told it would take about 3 hours; we did it in 2.25 hours, but were very winded along the way, as it was only our second day in Bhutan and we had hardly acclimated to the altitude. It was certainly the hardest hike we have ever undertaken. Even in Bolivia and Peru, on hikes over 4,000 feet higher, the trails were never as steep as this. But the end result and views were worth every step. Unfortunately, you are not allowed cameras inside the monastery which would have made for some spectacular shots out across the Paro Valley.
One of the reasons for planning trips to Bhutan in the fall is to experience their traditional festivals, called "tshechus." These take place in the great dzongs—the fortified monasteries that remain the centers of religion, education and local government in each district of the kingdom. They are not staged for the benefit of visitors, who consider themselves privileged to witness these events, which have remained unchanged for centuries.

Rick and Paula Vogel and Larry and Judith Miller met on a Journeys trip and soon realized what great travel companions they were. So, they signed up for more trips together. This particular trip was a customized and private departure of Fall Festivals of Bhutan. Many thanks to the Vogels for sharing their stories for this blog post.


It would be nice to click on tags (given for every single task) [for example the tag matrix] and be redirected to " https://py.checkio.org/tag/matrix/ " or " https://py.checkio.org/mission/?q=tag:matrix " (whatever) where we have the list of tasks with this tag (eventually on differents pages if there are too many for one page).
I like islands, it's beautiful and all but not really tidy (I think it's the word, don't take it bad). Access to tags could be nice if are in the "matrix mood" or another mood.

I thought I should give some background on our life here first. Phil and I rent a very small place here in GA. It is just over an acre. We are going on our fourth year living here. I have three children. My oldest son is 17 and lives with his father in NC. My younger son is(13) and my daughter(11) live with me and Phil.
All my life I had wanted to live more self sufficiently because we had lived that way when I was a kid but had gotten away from the lifestyle. I started an MSN group and through it I learned tons!
I got chickens, ducks, guinea, quail and rabbits (we had three large pens out back and a barn/shed attached to them that were already here).
We borrowed a tiller and made a small garden, where I planted whatever I could fit in (irregardless of the recommendations on the seed packets). Some things grew real good and some didn't.
I planted whatever fruit trees, I could get cheap or free from neighbors and I learned to make my own soap.
And like everyone else we learned some things just don't work. We learned we seriously didn't like killing rabbits and there wasn't enough meat and it didn't taste good enough for all the work, so now we are trying to sell them. We also don't enjoy killing the ducks, though the do lay well for the first year anyway. I would like to sell all but the khaki cambells and the Blue Swedish (the others are Cayuga and fawn and white runners).
We also learned heirlooms just don't seem to grow as well as hybrids, especially with the tomatoes. I am still trying heirloom tomatoes but will plant hybrids for the most part.
I learned soap making really wasn't worth my time and effort and didn't produce a soap with enough lather for my family to really like it. Yes I could have made a better soap but it would have cost more than it was worth to us. I am happy that I do know how to make it though and could do it if I needed to.
We found out that quail taste wonderful and are easy to process but that the watersnakes here where we live right near the lake, like them a lot too and we need a more secure place to raise them.
Anyway, we have made changes and built things and just grown as we have learned what will work for us. I have stories to tell about how we built our grape arbor and our greenhouse, the new garden on the hill, the strawberries out of control etc. I hope to be able to share them all.
Thanks again, I think I will really enjoy this newsletter!

Family vacations can get expensive, especially if you want to travel to a place like Riviera Maya in Mexico. All inclusive resorts is the way to go for cheap family vacations that don't FEEL cheap! But what does all inclusive mean exactly? In general, it means all of your food and drinks are covered when you book your room. Sometimes this includes alcohol and sometimes it does not. Some resorts also include some amenities (such as sailing or snorkeling) in their all inclusive packages. If your destination is the Riviera Maya, here are some all inclusive resorts to check out!
Bluebay Grande Esmeralda: There are 979 guest rooms here and each one comes with a view of the garden or ocean or you can choose a swim up suite (and why wouldn't you!) All rooms are air conditioned and come with ceiling fans and most have a balcony or a patio so you can enjoy the cool ocean breeze at night. You have a choice of one king bed or two double beds for each category of room. Some reviews say the ocean is a bit rocky, but you can avoid that by enjoying the two giant pools!
Grand Bahia Principe Coba: Each of the 1080 rooms has either a private balcony or terrace. There are two types of rooms to choose from, which doesnt really seem to matter much because they are both considered suites. Your choices are either a Junior Suite Superior or a Junior Suite Deluxe. The deluxe room has either a king bed or two double beds, where the superior suite offers either a king or two full sized beds. This resort seems to offer many amenities from tour assistance and volleyball to scuba lessons and windsurfing, just to name a few. Check out all the Bahia Principe Hotels for more info.
Viva Wyndham Azteca: On the smaller side with 335 rooms, you can choose either ocean view or garden view, but both come with a furnished private balcony. That is my kind of resort! I love me some privacy away from the busy resort. Some amenities they offer are tennis courts, water polo, sailing and snorkeling for starters. You can start your day with a little yoga as well before heading out for some fun activities! End your active day with some nightly entertainment or head over to the lounge and relax.
Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa: Like all the cheap family vacation ideas above, each room comes with a balcony or patio and they restock your mini fridge daily! You can choose from many different rooms such as the Deluxe Garden View, Deluxe Pool View, Family Garden View, or Deluxe Ocean or Dolphin View. Dreams also has a 'Deal of the Day Room' which is non-refundable, but you get it at a huge savings. So I suggest you only go with this deal if you know you are for sure able to go for the dates you book. I might book my next vacation here if for no other reason than the ocean trampoline! Some other things to take advantage of are catamarans, dance classes, euro-bungee or even intro scuba lessons.
This list makes me want to book my next vacation! When looking into all inclusive resorts, they will list what is included and what is an extra. Generally, you shouldn't have to pay for anything once you get there.
What are some all inclusive resorts you have been to? What has been your experience? Are some more family friendly than others? Share your cheap family vacation stories with us below!
This post oculdn't have come at a better time for me! We are currently on the hunt for some really great 'all inclusive' getaways that are family friendly. Thanks so much for giving such a great resource for just that.
I would absolutely love o vacation in Rivera Maya, I was thinking about going there with my family and then I got pregnant a few years ago. My husband and I loved Mexico so I will defintely keep this list in mind. Although I don't always like the food and get sick of the food at all-inclusive resorts i think it's great to have that option especially if traveling on a budget.
It looks like such a beautiful place, I'd love to visit with my family. We actually did look up a family holiday to Mexico from Ireland but it was quite expensive so it's great to know there are cheaper alternatives available. The swimming with dolphins would be an absolute dream!
The only experience we have with something approaching all-inclusive is WDW with the dining plan, etc. It looks like a really good idea for an active family. I will have to look into things more closely. When we are travelling with our little one with dairy allergies the food is always a challenge.
Thank you for sharing this post! We are planning to go South in the fall but we weren't sure where to go yet. This really helps to see what some of the all-inclusive options are (in my opinion, all-inclusive is the only way to go)!
Cheap is my middle name. I don't want too cheap of things because I need quality but if it's great quality and fits my budget then I am all there. I need a resort type of vacation for a week because a few days just won't do.
All inclusive and cheap caught my eye right away. I hadn't been to Mexico in quite some time and I've never been to Riviera Maya, only Cancun, Cozumel, and Playa de Carmen. The Superior Suite at the Grand Bahia would suit my husband and I just fine. I like a lot of space, a king bed, but the food (within the all inclusive package) is what we'd love.
This is great information, I can see me sharing this information with my friends as we plan our annual girls trip. The idea of not having to worry about food or drinks takes some pressure off of you when you are trying to prepare a budget. I also like the idea some resorts have outside activities, again take the budget pressure off of you.
I have actually never been to an all inclusive resort. I've heard they're awesome to go to, especially if you have kids. We've been wanting to book a family vacation so I'll have to check out some of these resorts. I love that the rooms come with patios and it seems like they all have a lot of great activities.
I am definitely bookmarking your post! My family and I love all-inclusive vacations and have visited Cabo San Lucas a couple of times. We were wondering about Riviera Maya and your post has a great selection of the all-inclusive resorts we can use in our research. We are definitely a family who loves getting our money's worth. Thanks for sharing!

1245 Coupe 139
Pierce Arrow 1245 Coupe 139
To publicize the new twelve, Pierce-Arrow arranged for the race driver, Ab Jenkins, to drive a Pierce-Arrow on the Bonneville Salt Flats. An unofficial, 24-hour run was done in 1932, with an average speed of 112.91 miles per hour. In 1933, Pierce-Arrow repeated the run, this time with AAA observing and conducting the run. This time, Jenkins drove 3000 miles in 25 1/2 hours, averaging 117 mph. This trial broke 66 official AAA speed records. In 1934, another run set a new worlds speed record of 127 mph for 24 hours. The virtues of the Pierce-Arrow twelve continued long after Pierce-Arrow ceased production. The basic engine, with some modifications, was made well into the 1970's for use in Seagrave fire trucks.
The mechanical virtues of the Pierce-Arrow in the early thirties would be enough to secure Pierce-Arrow a page in automotive history. However, just as impressive as the eight and twelve cylinder engines was the Pierce Silver Arrow. Original built for the 1933 New York Automobile Show, the cars were also a hit at the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. The cars features streamlined styling that included an all-steel top, and side mounted spare tires concealed in compartments in the front fenders.
In 1929, Pierce-Arrow began producing cars with greater styling flare that challenged the best. The 1933 standard models continued that tradition, while also becoming more streamlined. 1933 would also become known as the last year of the "classic" look at Pierce-Arrow. The characteristic Pierce-Arrow headlamps featured a curve inspired by the flowing lines of the front fenders. The new convex headlamp shape harkened back to the original shape first seen in 1913. The radiator was more dramatically sloped and vee-shaped. Horsepower was increased in 1933, up from 140 thanks to a larger fuel manifold and the fitting of a new dual downdraft carburetor and a higher 6:1 compression ratio.
The introduction of successful hydraulic tappets was an industry first. A failure in the past, Carl Voorhies of Pierce-Arrow developed and patented the self-adjusting hydraulic tappets in 1932. The Stuart-Warner power, four-wheel mechanical brakes were another innovation. This was a system similar to that used by Rolls-Royce and other European automobiles, but it was a first on an American car.
Other 1933 standard features included tinted safety glass, cross-beam headlights, automatic choke, synchromesh transmission, freewheeling, an adjustable steering column and 17-inch wheels.
There were two V12s – a 398 cubic inch unit for the 137-inch wheelbase cars and a 429 for the larger models. The smaller one performed no better than the eight and was soon dropped. For 1933, a 462 cubic inch, 175 brake horsepower powerplant was unveiled, the largest the marque would ever see.
For 1934, Pierce-Arrow brought out a new line of automobiles. The 1934 models had more rounded bodies with less chrome. The triple tail light that had been used since the mid-1920's was replaced by tail lights formed into the rear fenders, similar to the trademark Pierce-Arrow headlights. Ten body styles were available on the eight-cylinder model 840A. The models 1240A and 1248A used a twelve-cylinder engine. Nine factory body styles plus custom Brunn bodies were available on the twelve-cylinder chassis.
In late 1934, the model 836A was added to the line. The 836A was a lower priced Pierce-Arrow aimed at capturing a larger market than the bigger, more expensive cars. The 836A was targeted at a larger audience. Priced from $2195 to $2395, the 836A was available in a two-door Club Brougham or a four-door Sedan. The 836A was powered by a 366 CID straight-eight engine mounted in a 136 inch wheelbase. It also used a different grill design than the other 1934 cars. It did not have the Pierce-Arrow archer on the radiator shell
Pierce-Arrow brought out their last all-new model in 1936. The bodies were redesigned, with still more rounded styling. The 1936-38 cars have a distinctive arrangement of four "headlights". An overdrive transmission and vacuum-boosted brakes were standard equipment. The 1936 Pierce-Arrows were among the finest cars the company had produced. The 1937 and 1938 cars were minor modifications of the 1936 design.
In late 1936, Pierce-Arrow introduced the Travelodge trailer. Offered in three models, the Travelodge trailers had an aluminum skin over a steel frame. Hydraulic brakes were standard. Inside, the trailers offered the convenience and luxury one would expect from Pierce-Arrow. The birch and gum wooden interior had a dining area, ice box, gas cook stove, wood heating stove, water tank and a sleeping arrangement. About 450 of the Travelodge trailers were produced.
