    • Configuring WAN
    • Traffic measuring
  4. Check list

1. Virtualization of applications and desktops

The virtualization of applications and desktops is a new level of implementation of the remote access to corporate applications and data.

What is the difference between the application virtualization and desktop virtualization?

At first sight, both notions deal with the virtualization of applications. But there is a difference from the conceptual and technical points of view:

  • During application virtualization, the client computer (PC) acts like an independent computer system. Local OS is launched on it and user can start both locally installed applications and remote applications, which are started on the server.
  • During desktop virtualization, user has no access to the resources of the client PC. The client OS is started on the server and the screen image is displayed on the client PC by means of terminal technologies. This means that user can't choose applications as all applications required for user work are configured by the IT-administrator beforehand.

The following operating systems with different service packs can serve as desktops:

  • TS 2003 x32
  • TS 2003 x64
  • TS 2008 x32
  • TS 2008 x64
  • TS 2000 x32
  • Windows XP x32
  • Windows XP x64
  • Win7 x32
  • Win7 x64
  • Windows Vista x32
  • Windows Vista x64
  • Macintosh family
  • Linux family

Virtualization is used in the following cases:

  1. User needs some special OS for a short period of time. For example, he uses Linux OS, but he needs Windows OS.
  2. Complete substitution of user desktops. This allows decreasing the cost on the hardware service of the client PC. This means that due to desktop virtualization, the creation of new jobsites becomes easier, quicker and cheaper.
  3. Providing users with specific applications that helps to cut down application management on hundreds and thousands of user devices in the company. Any application, required by user, can be started on his jobsite without addressing to the support service for the installation of the application on the local PC or searching for another computer with installed software.
  4. Organizing test environment.

These innovations help to achieve the optimal productivity, security and efficiency regardless of the used application, desktop, features of the network connection and the client device in contrast to corporate technologies used in the past.

2. What is Acceleration and what is it used for?

Acceleration is a special feature, which adds an optional compression to Microsoft RDP. This means that it helps to view graphic objects in the session quicker and more qualitative while using less traffic.

Acceleration is used when:

- viewing the video in the browser.

To check it, we start two sessions simultaneously (they can be launched from different desktops): Microsoft RDP session and our program with enabled Acceleration. Then we run any video for example from youtube and see that it is playing quicker in our program than in Microsoft RDP.

- viewing different images in the session.

This means that we can open both separate image and the document with the variety of images. Here, the speed of image displaying should be higher with the enabled Acceleration option (we can compare both with Microsoft RDP and with our application with disabled Acceleration option).

We should also check how Acceleration option works in LAN and WAN networks.

3. Preparation of testing environment

Local Area Network (LAN)

Features of the local network are:

  • geographical limits;
  • providing the access to the environment with high network capacity to many users;
  • permanent connection to local services;
  • physical connection between nearly situated devices.

The distance between computers in the local network is not more than 300 m, as a rule.

It is not difficult to make LAN, so we won't stop on it.

Wide Area Network (WAN)

Global networks are the set of interconnected nodes, which are geographically remote. It causes delays while transferring information via the network. So, while testing Acceleration functionality, we face the problem of WAN test environment emulation.

Let's examine how we can configure the WAN in test lab conditions. We use two different variants.

1. Simulate WAN Connections on the example of Microsoft RDP

Step 1

First, we simulate the low network capacity.

We can use for example NetLimiter (free download: http://netlimiter.com/). First, we install NetLimiter on the client PC and limit the outgoing traffic for the RDP session (this is the mstsc.exe process). Traffic, which is sent from the client to the server, acts as outgoing traffic.

Step 2
Then we need to simulate the high delay on the server. To do it we can use TMnetsim tool (free download: http://tmurgent.com/Tools.aspx ).We copy it to the server and apply the following settings:

  1. Start TMnetsim.exe.
  2. In the Inbound Port field, enter the free unused port, which will be used as the listener. You can view the list of used ports with the help of cmd "netstat -p TCP". Let it be, for example, 3390.
  3. In the Outbound IP Address field, enter the server IP (or 127.0.0.1).
  4. In the Outbound Port field, enter 3389 (as we use the RDP connection).
  5. Set the Delay Type - Gausian.
  6. Set the delay 250 with the frequency of the transmitted signal 25.
  7. Click on the Start button.

We will see the following:

2.jpg

Step 3
Now we need to configure the client program on the inbound port.

We should:

  1. Open the registry editor.
  2. Find the following registry section:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlTerminalServerWinStationsRDP-TcpPortNumber

  1. In the Edit menu, select Modify and set the Decimal base.
  2. Enter the new port number (3390 in our example) and click the OK button.
  3. Close the registry editor.

  5. QUESTION:
    As Restaurant become more corporate and profit driven. Is it to th the detriment of the dining out experience?
    It seems that restaurants are become so corporate and profit driven that they have destroyed the whole dining out experience.

    We recently dined at DeVito's in Miami and it was the most un pleasant experience we ever had. the Miami Spice menu was nowhere to be seen, instead we had the sales pitch from the waiter.

    Our bill came to a few cents short of 0 for two entrees and a mediocre average bottle of wine!

    We were shocked. When we tried to query we were almost threatened by the nastiest manager we have ever encountered. His name was 'Paulo'. As menacing as anything you've ever seen in Godfather 1, 2 or 3!

    DeVitos has more hype than substance, it has to be America's most expensive restaurant. Never again!

    Whatever happened to good old Italian hospitality. Do you think certain restaurants are so crporate and greed driven that they are killing off the pleasantries of the dining out experience?

    • ANSWER:
      Its totally to the detriment of the dining experience! When they become "corporate" they tend to try to please ALL the people with bland "one-size-fits-all" food! You pay the same huge price but your food is now blah... there is nothing unique anymore. The corporate theory is that they can sell enough of their food to people who have no idea of what the food should REALLY taste like and make a lot of cash. The customers that actually love and appreciate food are forced to find it somewhere else. Long live the independent restauranteer!

  6. QUESTION:
    My sexy as hell wife and I are taking a trip to Miami, would should a young sexy couple do to spice things up?
    This is going to be a passionate, wild, sexy, hot sex themed vacation for us. We are staying in South Beach in early May and we are up for ANYTHING. You should see the suit she is going to cram into...in fact there are 3 ridiculously small bathing suits she will be wearing. Where should I take her? What should we do to get all hot and bothered? Any good "couple" clubs or sexy dance clubs? Great Private beaches? Any rich folks want to let us hang by their pool with my wife in her string bikini? Like I said, we are up for anything...please advise, nothing is too much. Thanks!

    Locals – contact me if you want to invite us to do something…fun and wild :)

    P.S. I am willing to email some pics of our trip to the person with the best suggestion...they'll be worth it :)

    • ANSWER:
      Well I know your married and all, but wouldn't you want to keep your wife all to your self? Just sayin! I would not want anyone else looking at her or touching her! And you can get all hot and bothered on your own, just the two of you. No need for anyone else. There is a good non-swingers club called Mangos on South Beach and is latino themed where they dance salsa and merengue. You both can dance the night away and get all hot and bothered there, then go to your hotel room or the beach later on in the evening time when nobody is around. The swingers thing will get old after a while, believe me I speak from experience and your marriage won't last too long if you open up those types of doors. Marriages were meant to last not to end up in divorce.

  10. QUESTION:
    Can i hide (synthetic marijuanna) k2-spice-mr nice guy in my luggage in my flight to israel?
    helo everybody .. so i live in miami and since im going to israel in 3 weeks i want to bring some mr.nice guy (original) with me to israel... about 2 brand new packs (2g's) and i wanna hide it inside a sharpie... am i gonna get caught if i bring that in my luggage ??? these kind of spice is illegal in florida .. please help me out

    • ANSWER:
      The x-ray machines that ALL baggage goes through can see everything inside your luggage. That, after all, is the entire point of the x-ray. If the agents cannot see something clearly, then they will open that bag for a hand inspection. The more it looks like you are trying to hide something, the more likely it is that they will take a much closer look.

      The question is - will anyone do anything when they see that small amount of leafy, vegetable matter? That is a question that we cannot answer. You take your chances, so ask yourself if you really want to take the risk of being detained at the airport, losing all of the money that was spent on the ticket, not going to Israel, having to spend money on lawyers, bail, fines and so on?

      If you are caught it will <> mess up everyone's plans. Are you willing to take that chance?

  11. QUESTION:

    How was your experience, how did it make you feel (comparing it to weed). Also where would I be able to buy this in Miami?

    • ANSWER:

  17. QUESTION:
    How to spice things up?
    For my christmas gift this year my boyfriend said he was taking me on vacation over the weekend to a fancy hotel in miami and has a spa day and dinner planned. I'm very excited and I want to do something for him to spice things up in bed that will really wow him and show him how much I love him but I'm out of ideas. I have a very sexy lingerie outfit that he's only seen pictures of but when we have sex the first thing he does is take all our clothes off immediately and said if I wore it, it wouldn't stay on for very long so I want to do something else that will leave more of a lasting impression and really get him going. Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      Tie him to a chair, hands included. Strip tease, lap dance and let him take your panties off with his teeth.Grind him till he can't take it.Blindfold him then blow him, just a little.Untie him a little and then run to the hot tub.Its hard to get it in under water but itll be fun to see him try;)

    thats me lol.
    i've decided to take off to miami for a few weeks by myself cuz im really bored with my life right now n i wanna spice things up a bit. i'll be going to a school there (language course) to learn spanish and stuff and i was wondering...will i have a good time there? i mean is it a good idea to go to miami by myself? i don't want to drag any of my friends with me. no one's available anyway. do u think i'll meet people there and have fun?
    and like, how are people in miami? nightclubs, beaches?
    opinions pleasee

    • ANSWER:
      Don't know how many nightclubs you will be getting into as you are 18.
      Though if you happen to get into one. Watch your drink.

      I think this idea is somewhat ridiculous. Were you to be moving out there, I would say good luck, but for a couple of weeks, I don't get the need to go.

      Either way, be very careful. Someone your age is still naive.

  25. QUESTION:
    Things to do in Miami???
    Ok so I went to Vizcaya today and loved it. I'm not a big beach person or a shopping person. Although I do like Antiques. I was thinking of going to Fairchild Botanical Gardens but it seems like a bunch of palm trees. Also then I thought of Fruit and Spice Park? I am not sure. Is a tour of the Everglades fun? I really am not a huge nature girl especially in this heat. Any ideas? Recommendations?

    • ANSWER:
      Snorkeling in the one of the largest coral reefs in the world? Biscayne National park is near Miami. Of course there is Everglades National Park, it is amazing, the most unique eco-system in the world only minutes away from one of the largest cities in the world. If you don't like shopping or the beach? Well you can always just have some food on Lincoln road in Miami Beach and people watch. Visit the Metro Zoo it is world class zoo. Learn some of Miami history and spots by taking a city tour. You could go to Jungle Island which is right off of I-395 on Watson Island.
      I really recommend you go to the Beach once though, South Beach is ranked the 7th best beach in the world you are so close to you should give it a shot once. Of course there is always Miami Beach at night too.

  28. QUESTION:
    Where Can I Learn About NFL Football?
    I've decided I'd like to follow and "enjoy" NFL football. However, that being said, I can't figure out the logistics of the game. I know there's 4 downs and touchdowns, and yards and passing and running. But I really feel like I lack so much knowledge it's really hard to have fun. I don't know the positions much more than QB, wide receiver, punter/kicker, and I've heard of the center whom I heard is always a big guy who hands the ball off to the QB.

    I don't know other positions or roles that those positions play in a game. I don't know enough to follow some of the headlines and news stories. It says Reggie Bush is looking to be the "featured back" I see running back, corner back, I've heard nickel back before...I see right guard which must mean there's a left guard, defensive tackle. I saw someone called a free safety, and sometimes they don't say the full position. Instead they say someone plays both guard positions...hmmm lol. Anyhow, I don't know who goes where and what the main role for each position is either...

    I can't understand when they say for example "Ireland addressed a deficiency in speed at the skill positions with the acquisitions of Reggie Bush and fourth-round wideout Clyde Gates." What are the skill positions, and I don't know if there's any position actually called a wide out.

    "The ball is coming out of this guys' hands well, you seen it again (Monday) here with some balls down the field and I think more and more they are starting to become in sync with what Brian (Daboll) is asking him to do out there," said Sparano. "Our spacing is getting better each practice, that's critical, we are working hard on that and the only way to have good spacing is if you're running at full speed and I think that's getting better." This is quoting Miami coach Sparano, and it's hard to follow when I don't know what spacing he's talking about.

    Another Miami quote: "Will new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll bring spice to a boring offense? Miami’s top two receivers last season, Marshall and Davone Bess, averaged 11.8 and 10.4 yards per catch, respectively. No wonder Henne came to be known as “Checkdown Chad.” But in the Dolphins’ first scrimmage this year, Daboll unveiled four-receiver sets and had Bush lined up everywhere from the backfield to wideout. Despite having Josh Cribbs, Daboll’s offense didn’t exactly light up the scoreboard in Cleveland, finishing 29th in total offense and 25th in yards per play. Sparano prefers the ground-and-pound, but Henne and Daboll must demonstrate they can keep up with prolific offensive units, such as New England, San Diego and Houston -- which happen to be Miami’s first three opponents." There's so much I don't get. Besides the backfield to wide out, but what makes an offense boring? What does it mean when Sparano prefers a ground and pound? What are the four receiver sets?

    I doubt anyone has the time to explain it all here, but I can't find any sources that can help me break it down in any way so I can learn and follow my team. Any sources you can point me to will be appreciated, but if you have time to explain some of the quotes that'd be really great, because I don't know if I'll find those answers anywhere.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    • ANSWER:
      The NFL is my biggest hobby. I thoroughly follow the Miami Dolphins, on and off the field.

      Skill positions is referred to offensive players, but not he lineman. - QB, RB, WR.

      Today's lineman don't get the media attention they deserve, but it is the most important part of the game. An offensive line is always consisted of a Left Tackle, Left Guard, Center, Right Guard, and a Right Tackle. (They are lined up in that order.) You are correct that the Center is the one who "snaps" the ball to the QB, sometime the QB lines directly behind the center or sometime he stand 4-5 yards behind where the Center has to snap the ball back to him, creating more time to pass the ball. The left tackle typically is the best offensive lineman. They block the most important spot, the outside of the left side which typically is the blind side, or the back side, or a QB. (This would be true for right handed QB's, most, but not all, QB's are right handed.) Also, you will most of the time see a more athletic lineman at the end of the line, known as a tight end. The tight end is an intriguing position as he sometimes helps the line block, but is also eligible to run out and catch a pass.

      Reggie Bush is a very fast, athletic player. He has been in the league for 5-6 years I believe, but never became the Saints #1 RB. He was more known as a guy only to come in certain plays and typically ran special plays on the outside of the field designed for him. Miami plans to give Reggie the chance to be the #1 RB, the featured back. He won't be in on every offensive play, but most, giving him more normal RB plays. Jeff Ireland, the Dolphins General Manager, acquire Reggie Bush and drafted Clyde (Edmund) Gates, because they are both faster than any of our current RB's or WR's.

      If you ever make it to a professional game, admire how big the field really is. Not only long, but wide. Coach Sparano is complimenting how the Dolphins spaced themselves well on the field, and spread apart well from each other. If two wide receivers ran down the field together, they would have 2 or maybe even 3 defensive players very close to them also.

      A wide out is another term for wide receiver, because they typically line up wide on the field. The Dolphins last year were not aggressive on offense and at times ran the same old boring plays, where they handed the ball off to the RB for a small gain. The Dolphins coach Tony Sparano has been known to prefer trying to run the ball on the ground with his RB's compared to call plays for his QB to throw the ball down the field the WR's.

      I hoped I helped some, this is a great passion to enjoy. By the end of this season you will have picked up a lot more and will be comfortable talking NFL. A lot of the analysts on ESPN, FOX, NBC, etc. are former players and coaches and they really know what they are talking about. The NFL is a very entertaining business. I enjoy watching my Dolphins every Sunday, but I enjoy watching every team. I also play Fantasy Football, where you draft players and get points for their stats, but that can all be for a different day.

      Please post any more questions, it's late here so I'm going to sleep, but if I see your questions I enjoy answering question about my biggest hobby.

    Dwayne Wade or LeBron James?
    "Kobe or LeBron" gets asked WAY too much.So let's spice things up.Wade single handedly won Miami a title.LeBron couldn't do it even with a supporting cast,the officials,AND David Stern.

    ***STAR IF YOU SAY D-WADE!***
    Yea,we had Shaq.But Shaq didn't do squat.Every time we needed a desperate FT,he would miss.Who was the one that scored more than 40 points in 2 Finals games?Wasn't LeBron or Shaq,that's for sure...
    LeBron has more points than Wade because Wade passes the ball and creates plays and opportunities for other players to score.

    I was thinking of going to Texas to visit my mother for a week ...Do you think that is enough space for us?

    • ANSWER:
      It may, or the "honeymoon" might be over. It's always wonderful to fall in love. Things don't bother you even though you know they should. Time will tell. Not giving up friends and outsides intrerests is important. You don't want to appear needy or constrictive and you know you wouldn't want those qualitys in the other person. Keeping communication lines open and listening to the other person are also important. Treat them as you want to be treated.

    • ANSWER:
      split up into two teams. go to the mall, give each team a 20 dollar spending limit and a list of tasks to do. for instance, buy a lipgloss, a favorite snack. a delicious desert. souvenir, stuff like that.

      we had a mall scavenger hunt last year for some young teens and they had a blast. we gave them an hour and a half time limit, ten bucks and twenty five tasks. each task completed was worth points. in the end, the winners got goody bags with a ten dollar gift card to the mall and they got to keep the treats they bought as souvenirs. it was cool, they had to find ways to fulfill multiple tasks with one item. like a souvenir could be a picture, or a cookie which would also be a dessert and a snack... it is fun, and your budget should be plenty.

    • ANSWER:
      Ahh! I love parties.
      Well, for a starter, music is what starts the party, gets it going, and ends it. So, music is a first.
      Since its your 20th birthday, you need more music that will get people up and dancing!
      I would personally, take off the songs that are more, country, rock, alternative ect. For example, artists like, Rascal Flatts, Nickleback, Muse, Buckcherry ect. I mean they are all great artists don't get me wrong, but for a party, it really doesnt suit the event.
      Here are some songs you should add to your playlist:
      (A lot are techno, dance ect. Its gets you up and going! Check theese songs out! :D )
      Never Take Away My Freedom- David Guetta
      I Wanna Go Crazy Ft. Will i am - David Guetta
      Tommorow Cant Wait- David Guetta
      Memories Ft. Kid Cudi - David Guetta
      Gettin' Over Ft. Chris Willis- David Guetta (great track! Listen to chorus, amazing beat)
      Let The Bass Kick- Dj Chuckie
      Walk The Line (Radio Mix) - Laurent Wolf
      HeartBreaker Ft. John Legend (Laidback Luke Mix) - MSTRKRFT (INCREDIBLE SONG. Fast fwd to around 42 seconds, and listen to chorus!)
      Children of the Sun (Vandalism Mix) - Yves La Rock <3
      Rise Up - Yves La Rock (Duh! Everyone should have this at a party!)
      Shocking Silence- Benny Benassi
      Bring The Noise- Benny Benassi
      Satisfaction- Benny Benassi

      Thoose are just a couple songs, listen to them!
      Hope this helps! :)

      BQ- Magic and Rockets in the upsets

      BQ2- Magic will win Game 5 in Boston tonight by making their threes adn a big game from Dwight Howard than are going to go back home to knock of the defending NBA Champs in 6

      Rockets win in 6, Battier is playing stellar defense on Kobe and the speed and quickness becomes too big of a problem for LA. I predicted this upset before the series started and Im sticking to it. LA fans will probably thumbs down me for this but I dont care

      BQ3- Yes its good for them and shows theyve had alot of focus to win 8 games by 10+. It will also be interesting to see how they respond to adversity as well.

      BQ4- Nope. With the Nuggets on fire and blowing teams out at the home the Mavericks season ends in Game 5. JR Smith will have a big game and the Nuggets will win with another offensive outburst

  39. QUESTION:
    Steve Nash goes to Orlando Magic?
    Lets get Nash to Orlando. It's always a treat to see this guy in the playoffs. I think young folks need to see him play, to learn how to really run an offense. With the Suns setting, I dont think he will be playing anymore meaningful games in April, not in a PHX jersey at least. So what trade could pry Nash from Sarver's clammy hands? What are your thoughts???
    Sidenote, I dont like the Magic...at all, but I'd like to see DHoward and Nash pun the pick and roll, Nash bomb the occasional trey, and find guys for easy baskets. I think it would spice things up a little more in the East because Orlando needs a shot in the Arm if they want to compete with the C's this year. On the, I dont know what to expect from Miami in the playoffs. Ill stop droning.

    • ANSWER:
      It would really be great if Steve ends up with a team that could really push him to the next level. As great as he is late in his career I think the guy needs a break. Nash knows how to play with a big man, playing with both Dirk and Stoudamire in separate occassion I think he'll blend in well with any team as he's a terrific shooter and play-maker. Just don't ask too much on the defense.

      Hope this helps.

  42. QUESTION:
    Will Lebron ever win a ring?
    Lakers have 3-4 elite years left
    Dwight Howard is going to be with Chris Paul or another superstar next year with a good team
    Bulls, Thunder are going to be challenging
    Wizards are coming back

    Teams like Jazz, Phoenix, Rockets, Knicks will get good again

    and anything is possible with the Bobcats

    There was all this talk about Lebron winning more rings than Jordan, Kobe but can you see how unrealistic this is.

    Lebron chokes in important games, they have no championship winning big men... the only championship type players Heat have are D-Wade & Haslem.

    Signing Bosh Spice & LeChoke OPops was the biggest mistake Heat will ever make their whole formula is wrong they need a Josh Smith and a Tyson Chandler and a 6th man like Jamal Crawford... Wade does the scoring, resign Beasley as a sidekick... Chalmers, Smith & Chandler play D and help with scoring.... SIMPLE MIAMI HEAT ARE DOOMED

    • ANSWER:
      I think lebrOn will win 1 or 2 but he won't catch Kobe or mj.Because times have changed and like you said a lot of teams are under reconstruction.

  43. QUESTION:
    British-themed party ideas?
    Tonight is my birthday and I want to have a British-themed party. Not one of those posh tea-drinking things - i mean a real british party. I used to live there... but it's been a while. Here are a few ideas, and please add anything you can think of! I can buy most everything here since I live in Miami (There are a billion british expats here - and just as many british food/item shops)

    Snakebite and black to drink
    bite-size sausage rolls
    licorice allsorts

    Radio 1 playing in background; or CD - any ideas for typical british song list?!

    Little Britain on the plasma :-)

    One thing that was quazi-british was this awesome sunday roast I had where my friend spiced the gravy with pot....... lol i don't know if its typical but it was the best sunday roast i ever had! maybe make for a good party dinner? lol.....

    • ANSWER:
      For the song list you have to have 'come on Eileen', and 'the conga' also why not have fish and chips to eat and make sure it's eaten out of newspaper with loads of salt and vinegar. You could get them all to try a pickled egg in a bag of cheese and onion crisps, or if you can get them why not revolt them with Jellied Eels?
      Sew loads of pearly buttons onto a black cap and pretend to be a pearly king or queen for the night.
      Type up a list of Cockly rhyming slag and make all you guests try the accent. You could get them to guess what they all mean as a game.

      Whatever you choose to do I hope you have a fab time and remember the UK with fondness.

  44. QUESTION:
    Thoughts on awards this year?
    Well, I made an All-NBA list (see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090314233522AArFTuM&r=w), so I might as well do the awards as well.

    Sixth Man of the Year -- Jason Terry

    Not that difficult of a selection. Best scorer off the bench this season and aside from Dirk, the only reason Dallas has the eighth slot right now. He hasn't missed enough games to impact his chances of getting the award. Robinson has spiced up the race, but it's hard to argue that he's a better scorer than Terry, which is the role both have. Maggette and Outlaw have put up big numbers, but they're not on Terry's level. Barbosa has started a bit too much and been a tad bit too inconsistent to be considered here. All this said, Ginobli wins this by a landslide had he actually been healthy. He's far better than anyone in the current race.

    Most Improved Player -- Devin Harris

    Another fairly easy pick. Harris has improved tremendously this year, going from a defensive stopper in Dallas to an All-Star this season. Incredibly fast guard that picks up a ton of fouls and he has gotten better at dealing dimes. Durant is definitely better, but it's easier to chalk it up as rookie-to-sophomore improvement. Granger has been injured a tad bit too much, and while he made the All-Star team with Harris, take a peek at their PERs and the difference is clear. Lee and Millsap have had much better years as well but Harris is far ahead.

    Rookie of the Year -- Brook Lopez

    This is hard, namely because this rookie class is so deep. Yes, Rose is brilliant and will be truly special in the future, but he remains deficient at the defensive end and doesn't put up as much dimes as he should at the point. Mayo is an incredible scorer for a rookie, but has hit the wall recently and needs to pass the ball more. Westbrook is a great defender for a rookie, but needs to develop his overall game more, especially as a one guard. Gordon has been the sole light on the Clippers this year, and is shooting the lights out, but the same argument for Mayo applies. After all this we come to Lopez, who has arguably made the best adjustment to the NBA, playing well at both ends, swatting 1.8 balls a game, and is a fantastic rebounder for a first year player. His PER is also a full two points higher than Rose. All this said, Rose will probably win, but Lopez has been the better player this year and is more deserving of the award.

    Defensive Player of the Year -- Dwight Howard

    An easy choice. When someone leads the league in rebounding and blocked shots, it's hard not to give them the award (*cough* Ben Wallace *cough*). Howard is the best interior defender in the game, hands down. Wade has been fantastic at this end, but he's not the same force Howard is. Everyone else in the discussion -- Battier, Kobe, Garnett, Paul, LeBron -- doesn't even come close.

    Coach of the Year -- Stan Van Gundy

    I hate to do this. Jerry Sloan needs to win it once, and Utah staying in the playoff race despite all their injuries is reason enough. But Van Gundy has turned the Magic into one of the league's elite teams; that they're even mentioned in the same breath as Boston and Cleveland is due to the work he's done here. This can't be ignored. Mike Brown has turned Cleveland from a middling offensive team into a juggernaut that uses LeBron's strengths more effectively, but everyone expected a big jump after the Cavaliers got Mo Williams and had Pavlovic and Varajeo for a training camp. Erik Spoelstra has been fantastic for a first year coach, has had the audacity to bring Beasley off the bench to teach him discipline and defense, and has Miami in the playoff picture after a 15 win season. Scott Skiles has turned an utterly pathetic Bucks team into one of the league's best defensive teams that is in the playoff push despite not having their best scorer (Redd) and interior defender (Bogut). Phil Jackson has made the Lakers care about defense and ensured that they are the best team in the NBA, with or without Bynum; look at the wins over Boston, Cleveland, and San Antonio for proof. But all of the work of these coaches pales in comparison to the jump for the Magic Van Gundy engineered from middling playoff team to an elite contender.

    Most Valuable Player -- LeBron James

    Put it this way. James has the best PER in the league and only Wade really compares to his averages. Unless the Heat win 50 games, Wade doesn't have enough leverage in this conversation. For Kobe to win, the Lakers would have to have the best record in the league, and Cleveland would have to lose to Boston for home court supremacy in the playoffs. Now, Cleveland is clearly going to win the East -- barring a major meltdown -- so LeBron is the clear-cut MVP from all angles of the argument: the best player on the best team. This isn't to detract from Wade; he's been transcendent this year, but LeBron is a force for the ages. Aside from these three, everyone else doesn't even come close.
    Tav, got a better argument than a dismissive one-liner? I'm open to discussion on the topic, but not to guys who can articulate a cogent point to save their life.

    junmccain, yeah, I have. LeBron went for three straight triple-doubles. Both are incredible players, but the difference maker is how their teams are doing. Unless Miami wins 50 games, you don't have much of an argument.
    kobefanz, even if the Lakers finish with a better record than Cleveland, it won't be that much better. Cleveland will have to seriously screw up the rest of the season to create a gulf wide enough to influence the MVP voting. The rest of the good teams they face (except one game against Orlando at home) are at home, where as you know, only the Lakers have beaten them. Again, tough to see them losing enough to influence the MVP voting.
    Again, tav, give some argument beyond a lame one-liner. Mayo has hit the wall recently if you haven't noticed. Gordon ranks third-worst among two guards in rebound rate and is purely a scorer (I admit, his TS% for a rookie is fantastic). Rose's assists are among the bottom half of all point guards and his TS% is pretty bad also. Lopez ranks among the top half of centers in rebound rate, FG%, and is eighth in the NBA in blocked shots. His PER is two points higher than Rose's and averages 16.9 points per 40 minutes as versus Rose's 17.9 per 40 minutes despite having a vastly lower usage rate.
    To tav, I don't know, a rookie center who shoots 52.7% from the field, 82.6% from the line, is in the upper half of centers in rebound rate, and is eighth in the league in blocked shots? And with the exception of Westbrook, he's the only ROY candidate who plays well at both ends of the floor.
    Argh, correction to the above. Cavaliers' only away game against a good team is Orlando. Just illustrates how tough it will be for them to lose the East.
    Wes, I know the hype machine is working against me, and Westbrook and Rose are going to be great in the future, but Lopez has had a better year than both of them. Thanks for the praise though.

    ballerhensley, I use ESPN for stats; beyond that, anything similar is largely coincidental. And Lamar Odom for sixth man? Aside from probably not even being eligible, he hasn't played that well off the bench when he did and certainly didn't have the same impact Terry had.

    • ANSWER:
      Very good choices and explanations, but I think ROY belongs to either Rose or Westbrook. Both have proven that they can be NBA stars in the future. Westbrook is gonna be like Chris Paul with his ability to rebound and drive to the hoop. Rose is really athletic and can influence games. Lopez has played well, but I don't think his performance will merit him the award, especially with all the hype surrounding Rose.

  1. QUESTION:
    Sams club??
    Do you have to have a Sams Club card to go in a buy food from the food court there or is that just to buy other things?? Thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      Technically, you are to have a membership card to enter the club. Therefore, you should have one to make any purchases. One day passes can be purchased at the membership desk but you still get charged a surcharge (of like 10%) on your merchandise versus club members. The funny thing is that I am a business member of 5 years and have never once been asked for my card at the food court, so if you talk your way past the front door you should make it through the food court with flying colors! Not that I encourage sneaking in, but the pretzels are awesome!

    Is it worth it to get a membership to Sams Club?
    I dont eat much, and I live alone, but I cant afford to pay for a small thing of berries, or for a bag of grapes at the grocery store, its crazy. Can you buy fruits and vegetables in bulk at Sams Club? Would it be cheaper to shop there?

    Can you shop around before you decide if you want a membership, or do you have to have a card to get in? I just cant afford to pay for a membership card and then end up not using it.

      No, not unless you are buying in bulk, or for a large group (Church or service organization). Thanks

  7. QUESTION:
    Is there any way to get into sams club without a membership?
    I have never been to sams club and would like to check it out. Is there any way to get a free membership or a one day trial?

    • ANSWER:
      Well you can get in without a membership. Even tho they sometimes check for cards at the door you can still get it without it. You just have to have a membership to purchase anything. They do have the option of buying a temporary pass. Or sometimes walmart gives away one day passes to Sam's club. You could ask for one at the customer service counter. Thats what i do. Hope this helps :)

  8. QUESTION:
    Does already working at walmart increase my chances of getting a job at sams club?

  9. QUESTION:
    Who works for Sams Club and how much do you get paid?
    I just applied to work at Sams Club, and I heard that they pay their employees good money. Is that true? And how do you like working there? I want to be a cashier, how much will I get paid?

    • ANSWER:
      Each facility has its own start rate based off the area that you are in.. Factors such as similar jobs in the area with other companies and their pay-scale plus cost of living are both going to play a role in the starting rate

      Also there are several pay grades based on the job you are performing and the area you work in.. the more challenging the job.. more pay

      Work for what your worth, not what you earn and retail will open doors for you that you never dreamed of

      Its really hard to say not knowing what geographic area you applied in

      Sorry I cant be specific

  10. QUESTION:
    Ordering photos from Sams club said they need permission from photographer to release?
    I ordered pictures that I uploaded online at sams club website, then when we got there to pick up they said we needed the photographer to fax them a paper saying that they give permission for us to print those photos? Is that really necessary since we bought the cd from the photographer?
    Alright thanks guys

    • ANSWER:
      Yes. If you bought the CD from the photographer with the rights to reproduce them, the release should be included on the CD. This is how I provide the TFCD images I release to my models.

      If the photographer indeed sold you the CD, it doesn't mean he sold you the exclusive rights to reproduction.

      I applaud Sam's Club for requiring the release - it protects them from the libel of up to 0,000 in fines and 10 years imprisonment that Title 18, sections 501-506 provide in the USC (U.S. Copyright) Laws.

  11. QUESTION:

    How old do you have to be to work at Sams Club in California?
    I just got a call for an interview for Sams Club, after applying online! I was so excited then someone told me you have to be 18 to work there, and I'm only 17. I filled out that I was not 18 on my application and there still giving me an interview. So is it true they only hire at 18. The job is for a cashier position.

    • ANSWER:
      According to the Sam's Club web page, they do hire ages 16 and 17, but only for position of cart attendant. Since you are 17, they may be giving you a chance at working there to see what type of employee you will be, and will move you upwards when you reach 18. Good luck!

  13. QUESTION:

    I know they have a policy that states that damaged products must be thrown away. I just need that information and source so I can include in my report.

    • ANSWER:
      You might try contacting their corporate headquarters. It maybe an internal policy. If so you won't find anything in writing, and you may even get an answer disputing that there is such a policy. Good Luck with your report and don't stop trying.

      I've order about a dozen things from them (regular site and the auctions). Items have always been delivered within days. The disclaimer might be to allow for the manufacturer delays, if any.

  16. QUESTION:
    Why did Sams Club buyers stop send DaVinci Almond Syrup to Sams club in Jacksonville and Orange Park Florida?
    It is a fantastic syrup. Buyers for Sams club stopped send it. Why? Sams will not divulge who the buyer is. Neither will the distributor or the DaVinci company. I am going to find out even if I have to get a lawyer and sue for info.
    I have tried for months to get an answer. That Almond Syrup has many uses. It's great. Do any of your stores have it. Try Walmart too.

  17. QUESTION:
    Is it customary to tip the Sams Club employee who fills an internet or fax order, if so how much?
    As a government employee doing official business there is no mechanism for tipping. A Sams Club employee is assigned the duty of filling internet, and faxed orders as 'his' primary responsibility. Sometimes he/she hangs around while I pay for the order and load the truck as though expecting a tip. I have not seen other orders being picked up and cannot know whether tipping is occasional, frequent, or customary.

      No

Is this a smart buy or should I spend the few extra hundred dollars and buy from a BestBuy or Circuit City? Are the Vizio's any good? Please let me know your expieriences or opinions. Thanks for your time.

    • ANSWER:
      I don't own a Vizio, but I do know that some of the Vizio TV's have been rated a "Best Buy" in Consumer Reports. That being said, it does not mean it is the best TV, but for the money, it's worthy of your consideration.

  20. QUESTION:
    how do you get a membership card to sams club?
    do you have to put money on the card when you make a purchase or do they send you a bill? Why does only sams club do this?

    • ANSWER:
      you fill out a form, pay them 40ish dollars, take your picture and then they issue you your card. You pay with normal methods...cash, credit, etc. the card is not a money holding account. it is simply ID to get in. you do have to have it to enter and check out. sams isn't the only place...there is costco, price club, etc.

    What to expect when working at Sams Club?
    I just recently got a job at a sams club in my area, and although they told me a lot of the responsibilities about the job, i still want to know how it is like to be a employee there. I mean this is my first job, I have no bills (Thank God) and I am in college. I was wondering what is the demands of being a cashier at Sams. Like what do I have to do that's so different then other stores?

    • ANSWER:
      What you have to do that's different from other stores is do nothing. In contrast, in my opinion, other stores are strong about customer satisfaction. But usually not at Sam's.

  23. QUESTION:
    are fruits and vegetables chaeaper at the farmers market then sams club?
    I need to buy fruits and vegetables for some platters and i have never been to a farmer's market before. The last farmers market is at the end of the month so do sellers sell their produce at a fraction of the cost or what? Should I just go to sam's club? Which one is cheaper?

    • ANSWER:
      At a farmers' market the produce generally has just come from the field to the farmers' market, so it's generally fresher than anything you'll find at Sam's Club or any other market. Considering that you get BETTER produce at the farmer's market it's usually worthwhile to purchase your produce there. I notice that the prices sometimes are LESS than at the chain markets. Unfortunately the farmers' markets aren't on our schedule so you'll have to make your decision when to buy to have your platter fresh when it's called for..

  27. QUESTION:
    So I got called back for oreintation at Sams Club ?
    At SAMs club what is the oreintation process like?Is there any other stipulation to securing the job?

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah once you are called back for orientation you are in. During the orientation process you will usuallly sit with atleast 4 or 5 other people with the HR representative for the company and go over all the company policies, you will look at Sam's Club history of the company, you will do a little puzzle kind of thing, and then if the person is available the Safety Leader and (if theyre not busy) Club Manager will come talk to you. They will go over safety expectations in the club because safety is huge to them...they get a big bonus for accident free days. After orientation is done you will do these things on the computer called CBL's (computer based learning) they suck...bad. There is an alcohol one that is suppppper long and you can not miss on question or you will have to start all over and it sucks. After you're done with that you'll either go home or if it is still early you will come down and start training in the area where ever you will be working. If you are a cashier you will come on the register with another experienced cashier. To be a cashier at Sams and really do well you have to find out as much as possible about a Plus membership and how to sell them. Selling Plus is a HUGE deal to management there so if you go to the samsclub.com website and do a little research on it in advance you would look really impressive to them when you start. Good luck! It's a fun place to work, i've been here 4 years and it has its ups and downs but if you show up on time, have a good positive attitue, do your work, don't complain, and DON'T get caught up with the drama you'll do great.

      I don't think it's worth the effort, unless you are buying like sports drinks in bulk and then selling them individually. You do not get more of a discount based on your membership.

  32. QUESTION:
    How do i get a full time job with Walmart or Sams Club?
    I am a person with a college degree and 15 years retail experience. I am looking for a full time benefited position, and would like to know what job with Wal Mart or Sam's Club to apply for. If you are currently working or have worked for these companies can get the "inside scoop" on getting through the process.

    • ANSWER:
      In Short, you can't and you should not.

      I have some good degrees
      being unemployed since I graduated this was the first place in almost 2 years to hire me.
      They base it off your last job. If you were in retail that is where you will likely fall into.
      They could care less about what degrees you hold. It means nothing.

      I'll explain in detail but first I will say as for benefits. Nobody gets benefits. You must work there for a year. Suspiciously enough I must have asked about 30 people how long they work there and nobody said more than a year.

      I applied online
      They called in a few days and I did the interviews etc.
      The interview is lame vague questions. Name a problem you encountered in your last job and how did you overcome it..blah blah blah.
      So, they actually called my references while I did the interview.
      Then they definitely forgot about me. I went in almost a month later to inquire and they used the excuse that they were just finishing up calling my references even though they had done that already.
      No big deal.

      I had to do a drug test which was a pain but went through.
      At Orientation
      The first thing they do is make you watch a propaganda video on how evil Unions are.
      They yelled at some 80 year old lady who said she could not start immediately because she had to give her 2 weeks notice at her other place which she had already discussed and had the okay at her initial interview.
      They also said it would be very bad if you changed your days and hours of availability that we initially stated on the application. That was over a month prior.

      They threw me into shipping. They barely pass state minimum wage but they post the federal minimum wage signs everywhere which is lower to make people think more.
      The people in charge were borderline demons.
      I had no idea who my manager was.
      Luckily I was offered a much better job my first week. I would never do this but since I did not know who to speak with and how angry every one is. I just stopped going after 2 weeks.
      It is so corporate that I went to get my checks 3 weeks later and the lady yelled at me for not having direct deposit yet and demanded I sign up when I come in.
      Yeah, they had no idea I was not in for 3 weeks.
      A month later they mailed me some new employee DVD to watch.
      Technically after 3 months gone I believe I could return and start working and nobody would know the difference.

      The way they treat employees is actually worse than anything you hear.
      No benefits and just the most degrading attitude.
      I liked the people I worked with directly. Anyone with the slightest bit of higher rank is evil.

      I think of my brief time there as an experiment. The conclusion is you should never work there.
      You won't get benefits. You will only get about 32 hours a week. The pay is so low. The way they treat employees is disgusting.
      It is the lowest salary I ever made including being like 15 years old washing dishes. I have never been so disrespected in all my life. They treat people like prisoners.

      Maybe your place is different
      That was my experience

      Go to a place where your experience level and education will play a significant factor. Where they will respect you as a human being at least.
      You do not want to go here.
      Trust me.
      I don't even know you and I am sure you are way to good for this place.

  41. QUESTION:
    Is this a defect? Sams Club Tempsoma 3" Memory Foam Mattress Topper?
    I bought a kingsize Tempsoma 3" Memory Foam Mattress Topper Friday morning at Sams' Club. It's been over 48 hours and three of the four sides have not expanded. It's only 2 inches on each side. I really want to go ahead and put it on the bed, even tho the packaging says it may be up to 72 hours.
    I searched the web and only found mention of it being a problem with Costco's Novasoft.

    Thanks!
    72 hours has come and gone and the three sides still haven't expanded. We went ahead and put the velour cover on it and put it on the bed, and truthfully it's not a big deal to us. The side that's expanded we put at the head of the bed, and the sheets smooth out nicely along the mattress topper.

    • ANSWER:
      Wait the 72 hours and then follow the warranty / return guidelines. Sometimes memory foam does in fact need time to expand from the airtight packagaing.

      To be quite honest with you, every single time I have passed by there, I have seen the sidewalk along that road (Old Bridge Turnpike), but I dont ever remember seeing a pedestrian walk way to say the least leading down there. But there may be one now (or at least a flatter surface) once the parking garage is finished.

      I'd go somewhere else.

      Sam's club stinks. So does Walmart.
      (Sister stores)

      Whatever one hears in the media about Walmart is usually true.

      They are bad to their employees and vendors. That's why they have so many lawsuits pending against them.

      Support another store. Not theirs.

      I use to work at Sam's club. I am a Costco Member now and have been for years. I will not support a company that has no morals/ethics.

    what sams club membership is better?
    I am looking into getting a sams club membership and am not sure what is exactly in the memberships. I checked out sams club memberships online but it's a lot of information that seems to be the same thing. I have the option of Sam's club advantage or Sam's club advantage plus membership. Tell me what you think is better and why?

      I think you should go with the Sam's Club Advantage, because who knows? The Plus one might turn back on you, and you'll might get sent a lil' more charges. I love getting mail and all, but Bills just wouldn't be a good thing on me. :) I think they sell bulk everything? O_O Well anyways, just write yourself a Pros and Cons chart.

    or

    • ANSWER:
      You could go to like Gordans food service.
      I live in Michigan, FortGratiot, there is one and you can buy big boxes of anything just go find one close to you.

  47. QUESTION:
    Which Sams club membership do you think is best for your average shopper?
    Just like the title says, i just want a membership to get in, do i have to shop using only my sams card or can i use a debit card or cash?

    • ANSWER:
      The Sams Club card is about .00, and that just gets you in the door, payment for the goods can be either credit card, debit card or cash, and I'm not sure if they accept personal checks.

  48. QUESTION:
    If an item is purchased at Target, is it possible to return it at Sams Club for store credit?
    I received a GPS system for christmas but I do not like it. However, the GPS i do want is at Sams but the one was given was purchased at Target. Also, there is no way of me getting the receipt.

    • ANSWER:
      If Sam's Club operates anything like Target then yes... only so long as they carry the same exact product.

      At Target you can return it for in store credit ONLY if you don't have a receipt, Wal-mart does this too. So if Sam's Club has the same GPS system you have then most likely they'll be able to do it.

      Also another thing to take into account is you may not be able to do it if Sam's puts their own bar codes on the product, then you wouldn't be able to do it. I've returned things from Wal-Mart at Target because it was more convenient.

      To those people claiming that it's illegal to do that, please, show me where to find that! I think that is complete BS, even if you didn't buy it from Sam's club they would be getting their money back anyway with your purchase of the other product plus they end up with your old product, they don't loose out on anything. Please you guys are idiots!

      -----------------------

      It's not fraud Scooter. If they carry the same stuff they don't loose out. You could always tell them you don't know where it was purchased and you think that it was purchased there. What are they going to do about it.

      If I could give you a thumbs down I would!

  49. QUESTION:
    How can i be asked to renew a SAMS Club Card when i never even had one in my life?
    trying to find who stole my id and life ... So if i never had a sams club member card ,how can i renew it?!? wanda.corson@yahoo.com

    • ANSWER:
      It could have been part of a mass mailing to get you to sign up.
      I get them a lot with things like catalogs and other junk mail.

      If you are really worried about it, contact Sam's Club.

  50. QUESTION:
    Can I use a Wall-Mart Gift card at Sams Club?
    My gf and I are wanting to get a T.V and we each got 25 dollar Wall Mart gift cards, but her boss said she could use the company card to shop at Sams club. Do you think we could use the Wallmart cards at Sams Club?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes!

      Where to Use a Walmart Gift Card

      Walmart Plastic Gift Card
      You can use a Walmart plastic Gift Card that has a PIN at any Walmart store and online at Walmart.com. Sam's Club members can also use a Walmart plastic Gift Card that has a PIN at any Sam's Club store location in the United States as well as online at Samsclub.com.

    New York City weather In the first week of September-NYC locals please?

  8. QUESTION:
    How often does New York City have nice weather?
    People who live in and visit Southern California brag about the weather all the time, 340+ days a year of sunshine, but I'm wondering if a lot of New Yorkers like the weather there also.

    I will appreciate it if you can make your answer as DETAILED as possible. Don't give me an answer with a few short sentences like "Yes. New Yorkers do like the weather a lot. There's a lot to do there no matter what the weather's like.", I would like you to include as many points of view that come to your mind.

    I think New York City might have nice weather, since unlike most U.S. cities, New York City does not have a "high travel season". With the exception of slight peaks during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, as well as New Year's Eve, NYC welcomes virtually the same amount of visitors every day! Also, New Yorkers don't have a lot of trouble with the rats in the subway, since in terms of convenience and cost, the subway by far beats driving in the city!

    Remember that residents and visitors may personify New York City weather differently, so one important point of view to include is if visitors, residents or both like the weather a lot. There's plenty of relevant points of view you can include.

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Dear Thomas S.J.

      While I do appreciate your wishing to satisfy what my brother calls your "curiosity bump' ..and I like your style in insisting in not being stiffed about sufficient information .... I must advise you that without adequate compensation, some of us are a bit grumpy when it comes to being told to spill the beans, or else !

      Now ...see it this way :: We New Yorkers really do know about the place, especially if we have lived here a little while, as I have...... and I can assure you that even though the statisticians have been busy posting numbers, there really is a high travel season here during which the city is jam packed with people ...and it is from early May to late September .... the little holidays that you have mentioned - Thanksgiving and Christmas through New Year's Eve are even more jam packed .. thank you for letting us know about what you have heard about the rat situation....and I do know that people love to throw around platitudes about how rapid transit does beat driving your own car....but that is not at ALL true if you have a pocket full of change ... it is FAR more fun to have your own car .... honest to Pete, who EVER told you that is trying to assuage him / herself that he cannot AFFORD to drive here.

      New York has nice weather now and then ...and as many other times as possible :: but that depends upon your definition of "nice weather" ... to me a big spashy rainstorm in the middle of the summer comes under that category... I.. and snowstorms....how I love them... God, they are beautiful !! And the air smells so fresh ......wow !!!!!!!...."stating point of view"......

      Really...the only thing I can think of about Southern California without doing a reality check is that it has beautiful flowers, and they wrote a song about it..... like when it rains there....and they do have a point :: given the fact that many people define nice weather as being characterized by blue skies and sunshine.... and lovely afternoon breezes and a cool evening .....they win hands down. But then...New York has other things to recommend it, and for that we are grateful

      Thank you for your question

  9. QUESTION:

  10. QUESTION:
    New York City, Boston, Salem weather in November?
    I am a Southern Californian and for my honeymoon in November 2011, my fiance and I are planning to visit New York City, Boston, and Salem. I am very excited about our trip as we have never visited the east coast. However I am wondering, how is the weather in these places in November? Obviously I know it will be somewhat cool, but does it rain much? Any chances for snow?

    • ANSWER:
      November is a changable month. Temperatures can range from the 20s to the 70s. Boston is usually 5 - 6 degrees F colder than New York; Salem another degree or two colder still. A lot depends on what part of the month you are coming. It can always snow but because most winter storms are "nor'easter" ocean storms with easterly winds and the Atlantic has not cooled off enough yet the really bad snowstorms usually hold off until mid-December or later. In Boston it usually precipitates every 3 or 4 days throughout the year; mostly frontal showers and thunderstorms from June until September and cyclonic storm systems otherwise (although southeastern New England has experienced the season's first nor'easter just this week, about a month or so early).

      Too bad you are not getting married a month earlier so you could see the spectacular New England foliage.

      A couple of romantic honeymoon tips: (1) If you are renting a car instead of driving from N.Y. to Boston via I-95 all the way drive instead on I-495 through Long Island and then take the ferry. This will also allow you a day of wine tasting from Riverhead through the Long Island North Fork; the eastern USA's best wine appellation (I am assuming this would be of interest to a Californian and (2) instead of staying in Salem stay at a B&B in Rockport, at the tip of Cape Ann about 20 miles to the northeast. Rockport will remind you of Monterey, except that it is nicer. There is direct train service
      to Salem from Rockport, also.

      If you are not renting a car take trains as much as possible. If you think L.A. traffic is a bummer wait until you drive in N.Y.C., and Boston is even worse! Both cities have extensive local train service as well as subways, with Amtrak connecting the two, although unfortunately Boston's does
      not go to downtown Lexington and Concord so if you wish to see the historic Revolutionary and Transcendendalist sites there a one day car rental will be necessary.

      If you have the time consider adding a day in Providence or a day in Portland, Maine.

      Another assumption about you being Californians: that you will want to eat lobster. Do not order it at a regular or fine restaurant, you will be ripped off! Go instead to a "seafood shack" sort of place.

      Have a great trip.

    Whats the weather like in New York City in the middle of May?
    I'm going to New York in May and I just wanted to know the average temperature. I'm from south Mississippi where the weather is almost always hot.

    • ANSWER:
      I live 7 miles from NYC & get the same weather. It's a very popular month for weddings here because the weather is usually nice (not hot) & evenings you'll need a jacket. The averages from the Nat'l Weather Dept. are: Average high: 71 deg. F and Average Low is 54 deg. F. Remember these are averages & adding 10 deg. F to them or subtracting would be the norm too.
      Highest temp. for May was 99 deg. F in 1996 & the Lowest temp. for May was 47 deg. F in 1947. I would pick May as one of the nicest months to visit NYC but bring layers - just in case. And, have a great time. I hope you have an itinerary planned.

  21. QUESTION:
    What is the weather like in New York City in late march and early April?
    so I just got news on Friday that I am going to New York City at the end of this month but my mother protests that it will still be freezing by the end of March. so she insists that I take winter clothes and a winter jacket.

    I don't know what would be the best clothing to wear around that time.

    can anyone who either lives there or has visited the city around that time of year tell me what the temp is like and what would be best to wear?

    Much thanks to all responses!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Temperatures are usually in the upper 50's during the day and cool off into the 40's at night. But the daytime temperatures can range anywhere from the 40's to the 70's. It can rain but early April is the time of year where we get our last snow flurry but it only accumulates on the rarest occasions. Another thing to keep in mind, although it may be in like 75 degrees in midtown Manhattan one day, it could be as much as 15 or 20 degrees cooler on the coast in places like Coney Island or JFK airport that time of year because the ocean is still very cool so a sea breeze develops which limits the temperature from rising much. It's only like that when temps are in the 70's though. You don't have to go too overboard on the warm clothes. The sun that time of year is pretty strong so the temp would feel kinda nice even though it's only a 45 degree day. I would suggest a jacket but not a winter jacket. Here's a good link to check the weather before you go:

    Whats the weather like in New York city?
    I'm going to New York City next week 14th-18th and i need to know what the weather is like now, and what it will be like then

      Just make sure you dress warmly and in layers. If you are walking in an out of stores or attractions then you may be too warm inside if you are dressed only for the cold weather.

  26. QUESTION:
    new york city weather....?
    i'm leaving for new york next week, its supposed to be in the low 50s

    http://store.delias.com/item.do?itemID=49153&categoryID=851&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter=#

    is this jacket too heavy? or no, i'm not sure what i should bring ;/

    • ANSWER:
      I would say that would be fine without anything else under it however it really depends on your tolerance for cold weather. I would be in Florida and dread a 50-degree day but can walk outside in NYC on the same kind of day with just a shirt on and be fine. Go figure. At any rate, you may wanna wear an extra layer under that jacket to ensure you're warm enough in that weather.

  29. QUESTION:
    will i survive new york city weather in march if i wear a wool pea coat?
    I am in choir at my school and on March 4th we are leaving for New York. I am from Virginia so I'm used to the cold. However, I know that New York cold and Virginia cold are two different types of cold. I want a warm jacket that isn't really poofy and I've been wanting a pea coat for 3 years now. Should I get a wool pea coat, more specifically this pea coat (hope you can see it) http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3087668?origin=shoppingbag. Would a down jacket be best?

    • ANSWER:
      The key is to layer! A pea coat would be OK with a warm sweater underneath. March isn't usually as cold as January, but you can still get snowstorms or more likely, freezing rain and a lot of it. I'd say take a waterproof coat with a woolish liner.

    • ANSWER:
      The average high is in the mid 40's and the average lows are in the low 30's. But daytime temperatures can range anywhere from about 20 to 70. Overnight low temperatures can also range anywhere from 10 to 55. Any temperature outside of those ranges is rare and only happen for only one day. Yes it does rain in February but it can also snow. For some reason, the biggest snowstorm of the year is usually in February for most winters. Also most snowfall is usually melted in a few days.

    ??

    • ANSWER:
      winter: it is fairly cold here between december to march. temperatures are usually between 20 and 40. there are usually 4 or 5 solid snow storms a year.

      summer: it gets very hot in the summer. the avg temp is around 70-90. its sticky and real humid. this is also the rainiest season of the 4.

      fall: perhaps the best time to visit the city. the humidity has dropped significantly and the air temp is around 60-70, which is quite comfortable.

      spring: similar weather to fall. in the early spring, (mid-march to april) it can be dangerous to walk around the city. The warmer temperatures stats melting the icicles hanging from buildings causing them to drop. once it hits May temperatures really start to get hot.

    I'm going to New York City on August 13th and the 14th. I was wondering if maybe there was a website that told you what the weather is going to be in the near future. The 13th is 15 days away from today and when I checked for websites, I only found websites that give you the weather 5 or 10 days ahead. I mean, I suppose I could check the weather when theres only 5 or 10 days left until I go, but I would rather know now, just in case it's supposed to rain and I have to change my plans. So yeah.........anyone????

    • ANSWER:
      weather.com will give you long range outlooks...but it is more of a guess than a fact. Two weeks out is anyones guess however, it has been very HOT in NYC lately and with the heat and humidity there are afternoon thunderstorms. Don't worry so much about the weather...even if you have to be inside for a bit there is so much to do in the city....just enjoy!

    What is the weather like in New-York City in July ?
    hello, I'm planning a trip in NYC in July, and I woudl like to know how the weather used to be by that time. Thank you for answering me !

    • ANSWER:
      Have you ever read a description of hell? Chances are the author wrote that while standing on a subway platform. Seriously, the weather in July and August is awful - hot, humid - nothing but hot air circulating between the tall buildings, steam coming up from the concrete. You get pushed against hot, sweaty, grumpy people (who don't all smell like roses). Fortunately, most stores, restaurants, offices, etc are airconditioned. The buses and subways are usually very comfortable, but, if you have to wait for a train underground - ugh!. My advice to all visitors: Avoid the lowest level of the West Fourth Street Station and the 34th Street Station - they are infernos! Walk or take a bus to the next station, if possible.

    Cheers!

    And G'day USA!

      jeans and a t-shirt, maybe a pair of shorts because it's still pretty warm in september. It shouldn't be outrageously hot, but it will still be warm and sunny.

  47. QUESTION:

      i went to NYC last year around the same time as your departure (beginning of april). it was quite cold and windy... between 5-12C, most days it was cloudy and it also did rain.
      i wasn't expecting the chill because it was around 18-20C when i left the UK.

Playboy Club

September 24, 2011 - Posted in Uncategorized - Permalink

If you found your way here, you probably already knew everything about uniforms except for these odd facts:

Why is the US Surgeon General always in a military uniform?
This is because the organization of which she is the chief, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS), is a uniformed service. You might be thinking, so are mail carriers, but the postmaster general doesn't get to wear one. The difference is that the PHS began as the Marine Hospital Service, which was organized after a military fashion in 1870 to attend to merchant sailors. The members were, and still are, given military-style commissions and naval-style ranks, with the idea that they will be a mobile force ready to be thrown into the war on germs. You might suppose the fact that MHS doctors often served alongside regular military personnel in military camps during wars and sometimes had to give orders also argued for ranks and uniforms.

The Marine Hospital Service was reorganized as the Public Health Service in 1912 and transformed into what is now the Department of Health and Human Services, but the military traditions remain.

Did Michaelangelo design a military uniform?
The red, yellow, and dark blue Renaissance uniform worn by the Papal Swiss Guard at the Vatican was designed by Michaelangelo. Swiss Guards are Swiss mercenary soldiers who have served as bodyguards, ceremonial guards and palace guards at foreign European courts from the late 15th century until the present time. They have generally had a high reputation for discipline and impeccable loyalty to their employers.

Some of these units have also served as fighting troops in the field throughout history. There were also regular Swiss mercenary regiments serving as line troops in various armies, most notably those of France, Spain and Naples. The Papal Swiss Guard is the only such detachment to still exist today.

What is the origin of the chef's hat?
The chef's hat, properly known as a toque comes to us from the royal courts and kings of the ancient Assyrians. Since one of the more common ways to assassinate a king back then was to poison his food, chefs were chosen carefully and treated very well. In addition, safe food handling being something of a mystery at that time, food poisoning from plain old spoiled food was also common, and the chef trade was considered a learned study for the very wise. Before long, the chef was often even holding rank in the king's court.

It became apparent that that the chef's high position entitled him to wear a 'crown' of sorts, in the same shape as that worn by the king, but made out of cloth and without all of the pricey jewels. The crown-shaped ribs of the royal head-dress became the pleats of the toque, which were originally sewn, and later stiffened with starch. The competing story of how King Henry VIII found a hair in his soup, had the cook beheaded, and ordered the next chef to start wearing a hat is completely false.

Did Hugh Hefner invent the Playboy Bunny uniform?
That's a trick question, and the answer is 'no'! When plans for a Playboy Club began in 1959, they were seeking to maximize on the image Playboy was most famous for, which were its Playmates. Initial talk centered on dressing the Playboy club's hostesses in revealing negligees and calling them 'Playmates'. But on a night-out, Ilse Taurins, who was Playboy executive Victor Lownes' girlfriend, suggested to Hugh Hefner the idea of dressing the hostesses in the image of the tuxedo-clad Playboy Bunny character.

Hefner didn't like the idea, as he had always viewed the rabbit as a male character. Once he saw a prototype of the outfit, which was made by Taurins' mother, he changed his mind. He particularly liked the tail, and made a very strict rule at the club that members were not allowed to touch the Bunnies' tail, by penalty of expulsion.

Why are coaches in baseball assigned a number like the players?
In baseball as it originally formed, they had not a manager but the "captain", who was uniformly a member of the team and was physically out on the field during the game. It stayed like this until after the turn of the century, when the captain became a manager and was relegated to the dugout. The tradition of a leader who is "one of the boys", however, has continued to this day.

Did America ever have an Emperor?
Only in jest, but it seems like everyone was happy to go along with the joke.Meet Joshua Norton, who in San Fransisco in 1859, simply hauled off and declared himself Emperor of the United States and that was that. Next thing, he was prancing the streets dressed in full majestic uniform made of an old donated army coat and boots, a hat with feathers, a donated sword and assorted imperial epaulets. It seems everybody put their tongue in their cheek and bowed to him, and the joke just kept on going. Children followed him as he marched the streets, picking up litter and doing kind deeds, in the hope of being crowned king or queen for a day.

Emperor Norton was allowed to dine for free in any restaurant. When he died in 1880, approximately sixty thousand people attended the ceremony which featured full military honors. His tombstone reads "Norton I, Emperor of the United States, Protector of Mexico, Joshua A. Norton, 1819-1880."

Why do men's suits have buttons on the sleeves?
That would be the doing of one Frederick the Great, ruler of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. Frederick had a thing for spiffy attire in his troops, but while standing at attention in the hot sun his soldiers' brows did sweat, and the men were prone to wipe their faces on their sleeve.

Frederick hated to see icky sleeves, and, rather like you'd put Tobasco sauce on a child's thumb to stop them from sucking it, Frederick had scratchy buttons sewn on the soldiers' uniform sleeves. That, to this day, is the best information we have!

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    WHat should I wear to the Playboy Club New Years 2009 party in Las Vegas?
    I'm dating a new guy and he is flying me out to Vegas to meet up with him (he's coming in from somewhere other then where I live) and we are going to the Playboy Club on New Year's eve for the big party etc. I have never been to Vegas and I am not a "going out" kind of person so I am having a hard time figuring out what to bring, buy, wear etc? Should I get my nails done? HELP!

    • ANSWER:
      Yes absolutely get your nails done. Also buy a slutty, (seriously) sparkly dress or top with classy pants and some killer heels. I'd go with stilletos. Your feet will kill you for it, but its a must :) Unless its daytime, Vegas is not the place to go casual, unless you want to be stared at, (or unless you're going somewhere low key) so have fun, but find an outfit that is hot, but *classy* so that you feel confident with yourself and not cheap. (Especially where you're going) By classy I mean clean clothing lines and cuts that are flattering on you and gems/glitter that isn't little-girl-cheesy. After one night out there you'll be very tempted to show as much boob as you can, resist the temptation and go classy. Bascially, the hot and beautiful rule the nightlife, so dress to impress. (You'll see what I mean about the slutty/classy combination when you get out into the nightlife there) Sounds like your friend already has things planned out for you which is good because New Years is a zoo! Have fun!!

  2. QUESTION:
    Questions about the Playboy Club at the Palms?
    A few questions for anyone who has been there:
    Is there a cover for entrance and, if so, how much is it?
    How bad are the drink prices?
    Is there really a dress code or is it more of just a certain way you have to dress to fit in with the other patrons?
    I've never been to the club and it's been a couple years since I've been to Vegas. I'm going towards the end of September for my cousin's 21st and want to show him a good time and am just wondering what I can expect at the Playboy Club.
    Thanks for your help.

    • ANSWER:
      Playboy Club is not all it's hyped up to be. I've been there several times and usually the only girls there are the waitresses, dealers, and a handful of escorts on the arms of the sleazy guys playing 6-5 blackjack for 0/hand.

      Single girls generally avoid the Playboy Club and I don't blame them - it's not a very girl-friendly environment.

      It might be worth checking out to say you've been there I guess, but it's only really worth going on the nights when Moon on the roof is open so you can go back and forth between the two, and there's a better chance that a few single girls might wander down from upstairs.

      When Moon is open, you pay one cover charge () and get access to both. When Moon is closed, you pay just for Playboy Club.

      Cocktails are -15, Beers are -8, there is a real dress code and they will not let you in if you don't meet it. Shoes are actually the things that get rejected the most - no sneakers/sandals allowed!

    • ANSWER:
      I have been there, heres some tips:
      NO tennis shoes, and they prefer you NOT to wear jeans, and no baseball caps. It is per person to get in, but if you are smart, get it good with the doorman at the elevator to the club, he might hook you up.
      There is a nightclub on one floor, then the Playboy club itself has bar areas and gambling, if you gamble, prepare to bring $$$$, there is no tables up there!
      The girls are beautiful up there, but watch your step, there are alot of doormen!
      The Palms is a very cool casino, anywhere you go in that place is very fun!

    I didnt even know its stock was doing so bad, but why open up a club? Is there somewhere on the internet where I can read about this?

      This Reuters article answers your question:

      http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061009/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_life_playboy_1

      In short, yes, due to declining advertising revenue and other factors that take away from the Playboy business, Hefner was seeking another revenue generator that keeps the Playboy brand top-of-mind.

      Old fashioned bunnies at new Playboy Club By Alexandria Sage
      Mon Oct 9, 3:02 AM ET

      LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Flaunting bunnies, booze and blackjack, the first Playboy Club in nearly two decades opened in Las Vegas on Saturday night with high hopes that its time-tested combination of sex and celebrity will attract a new generation of high rollers.

      With a distinctly vintage feel, Playboy bunnies wearing the distinctive ears and cottontail delivered drinks and dealt cards to a mostly male crowd at the Palms Casino Resort.

      Playboy founder Hugh Hefner surrounded himself with a bevy of blonds -- and one brunette -- in a red corner booth while pulsating music filled the smoky room.

      "There's a new generation ready to come out and play," Playboy Enterprises founder Hugh Hefner told Reuters before the party, saying the Playboy brand was just as relevant today as it was when he started the men's magazine in 1953.

      "Playboy has always stood for something -- a social, sexual and political agenda that has real meaning," the 80-year-old Hefner said.

      Almost a half century has passed since Hefner opened his first club in Chicago in 1960 and helped usher in the sexual revolution while the Playboy bunny and the Playboy centrefold skyrocketed to American icon status.

      Now, the flagship magazine faces depressed advertising and lower newsstand revenues amid competition from magazines like Maxim and Internet porn.

      At the same time, however, Playboy has attracted new fans through "The Girls Next Door," the reality television show about Hefner's three live-in girlfriends, and a successful licensing business.

      While once controversial, the brand appears almost quaint amid today's X-rated offerings, said Robert Thompson, a professor of popular culture at Syracuse University, who says that Playboy represents a pivotal moment in American culture.

      "(Hefner) was starting a revolution to break down fusty, infantile, puritanical mores that probably needed to be broken down," Thompson said. "At the same time he was creating a cultural climate that made many women who were just starting to make progress in the young feminist movement very uncomfortable."

      In their heyday, the dozens of clubs reached as far as Japan and Jamaica and featured the hottest entertainers of the time like Sammy Davis Jr. and Sonny & Cher.

      But the symbols of flesh and free wheeling began shuttering their doors in the late 1980s amid escalating costs, and a sense among many that the bunny brand had peaked.

      Now, Playboy is banking that its retro appeal will lure younger fans into the club.

  10. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know anything about the girls who work at the Playboy Club at the Palms?! A few questions... ?
    Do they get to live in the hotel?

    Are there girls who just serve cocktails too or are all the bunnies just dealers?

  12. QUESTION:
    Why would Feminists demonstrate at the opening of the new Playboy Club in London ?
    When they are conspicuously silent on far more important issues like forced marriage and female circumcision, a form of brute torture aimed exclusively at ethnic minority girls in Britain. Ah, maybe that's it...........
    True Blue Brit....well I think we all know these practices are illegal in Britain, but when was the last time you read of a prosecution ..........??

    • ANSWER:
      Because most feminists are prudish and don't like sex, and don't want anyone else to enjoy sex either. Or maybe they are jealous because porn stars make a fortune, and they are too ugly to get into the industry. A comparison would be a group of unfit fat men protesting against famous footballers.

      Most porn actresses (and actors) are willing and consenting, and should have the freedom to make their own choice without feminists telling them what they can and can't do. It really isn't as bad as what feminists would have you believe.

      nb why does noone seem to care in the UK it is still legal to circumsize (read mutilate) newborn baby boys?

    I was just wondering... Does anyone know how much the girls at the palms playboy club make? Normal amount plus tips? anything else they get?Or does anyone know how much the hooters girls make. If there were any girls that were ever a hooters girl or if u know. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Playboy bunnies at the club make quite a bit of money...6 digits, often. But it's very competitive, and you have to work to keep your job (if a prettier girl comes along, they will fire you to hire her).
      I was a Hooters girl, and how much you make really varies. I was one of the more attractive girls and made an average of 0 dollars in tips a day, plus minimum wage. Some of the girls that weren't as cute made as little as . In busier cities you will make more than that.

      I actually worked at one in Denver CO in the late 60's -- I served drinks and played pool -- I was pretty good at both. We were never encouraged to do anything else although we had our regular followers. And we were encouraged to be nice to them -- nothing overt, just friendly. It was actually a fun time.

It is on the 52nd floor, where you have a awesome view! If clubbing is your scene I would suggest you go and have some fun! Enjoy.

  33. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know if an 18 year old can get in the Playboy Club at the Palms Hotel?

    • ANSWER:
      You have to be 21...They will check your ID! The club doesn't want to lose their license because they let an under aged person in, their liability is way to high to take the chance.

      Besides, the club entrance is in the casino, you'll be carded when you step on the floor.

  35. QUESTION:
    playboy club in las vegas???
    does anyone kno how old u have to be to get into the playboy club in las vegas cuz im goin to las vegas this summer..and know more info about it?..=]

    • ANSWER:
      The drinking age in the US is 21, so expect it to be enforced in all clubs and casinos. So if you are under 21, don't expect to be standing around the casinos and/or gambling without someone asking for ID. Clubs they card at the door, no questions asked. I think the only situation where you may be able to get away with being underage in the vegas clubs, is if you know someone working the door, and/or you're a celebrity. They won't risk letting minors in as if they are caught they can get shutdown for the night (which is HUGE $$$ losses for the night) and too many infractions (i.e. letting lindsey lohan over an dover again) results in fines and/or losing their liquor license...anyway..if you plan to try and sneak in a minor..know somebody working the door, TIP $$$ (probably wont work), and have a really good fake ID.

  36. QUESTION:
    What was the address to the old Playboy club in san Francisco? (or location)?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm not sure of the exact address but it is in the 700 block of Washington directly across from Portsmouth Square. The building is nothing special to look at, it however more attractive than the Chinatown Hilton [which may qualify as the world's UGLIEST hotel].

      The building itself only 2-3 stories and modern in design. The feature that will help you identify the building is exposed i-beams along the facade of the building.

  37. QUESTION:
    Playboy Club in Miami ???
    Please help me with a research work about the late Playboy Club in Miami.???
    When was opened, when was closed, pictures, bunnies, etc...
    The Hotel is now named Castle Beach...

    • ANSWER:
      The Miami club opened on May 20th 1961. A good book for you to get your hands on would be The Bunny Years by Kathyrn Leigh Scott. There is an entire chapter on the miami club as well as sections on several different bunnies who worked there.

      As to the previous post - I believe that person was there only to pick up on women - he's probably the type that now frequents strip bars. Ingore that completely unhelpful post - the clubs were a classy place to do business, get in on some culture, and go out for cocktails.

      I know several ex-bunnies personally. You could e-mail me at bunny_bri5@yahoo.com and I could give you some contact information. At least one of the bunnies I know worked in the miami club but, there are others that could at least give you basic information about the clubs themselves - as could I.

  39. QUESTION:
    Has anyone been to the new Playboy Club in Vegas, whats it like, is it hard to get into?

      I was there opening night and I had a blast!! However it is rather expensive. They have a cover charge (which we didn't have to pay thanks to knowing someone) and my boyfriend and I were having drinks at a round (Corona for him, Patron margerita for me). There are many other more reasonably priced clubs in Vegas but if you want to say you've been there, go. Also, call places and get on the guest lists. You'll get in quicker and usually for free.

    • ANSWER:
      I am not sure yet.... I am going to watch it for a while and give it a chance... there is a lot of controversy already about it, some NBC stations are already saying they wont air the show...

      with the success of Mad Men right now, the 60's are very popular, this show might work, and besides Eddie Cibrian is a big draw...

    • ANSWER:
      I had a relative who worked at The Palms and it is an excellent place for employment. I think you should go in and check out the place first and see how well you like it. Talk to some of the girls there or management and find out what the job entails. It's never a bad idea to find out what any job is like before you decide to take it. Some jobs that seem fun and glamourous from the outside are really a lot of hard work and high maintenance. Be prepared.

  14. QUESTION:
    Creative names for a nightclub please!?
    Hey, guys! :) This may be a different question from what you see.. I'm writing a story right now, and I'm really stumped at this VERY important part in the novel where the main characters spend the night at a club. I just can't seem to think of names for the place! Give me all you've got; I need some really creative, unique names for this nightclub. This is the climax of the story, a very very important part: the villain of this series is introduced, and the conflict that fuels the rest of the first novel of this series begins solely in a few chapters taking place at this nightclub. It takes place on a tiny, exotic, extraordinarily wealthy island on a planet I created.

    Two girls (two of my main characters Stacie and Carla) get invitations to a private party at a local nightclub. Stacie immediately persuades her best friend Carla to join her after her neighbor/supercrush/popular celebrity-like guy (name will NOT be mentioned for a number of reasons!) insists that she attends: "supposedly incredible DJ, get to know who's around you, you need to loosen up, etc.) When the time comes, about a week later, the girls leave to go to the club, curious and nervous. The three of them dance and have a great time, then Mr. Celebrity Guy asks Stacie to dance with him. The entire club watches them do their thing, and at the end of the song, Mr. Celebrity Guy's girlfriend confronts them (the villain!). She is extremely jealous, and starts to argue with Stacie, bitching to her and accusing her of messing around with him. Mr. Celebrity Guy wants nothing to do with this "little" argument, but sticks around and doesn't take sides with either. Villain challenges Stacie to what I could describe as a dance competition/showdown kind of thing, and the club decides on who did better. Stacie wins to the villain, and she mysteriously leaves the club, without a word to anyone after more yelling and pouting. Mr. Celebrity Guy, Stacie and Carla decide to celebrate on Stacie's little victory, and leave to a bar thats in the club. They get VERY VERY drunk on this drug-like drink I made up. The chapter ends abruptly with Stacie passing out, and it's suddenly 10:00 the next morning. They wake up, still in the club, and leave after amiably getting kicked out, while workers were cleaning up. Stacie spends the morning at her house suffering from an absolutely miserable "hangover", and later that evening, is called over to Mr. Celebrity Guy's house for a "chat" about something that happened the night at the club. Stacie is astonished, to hear that she said that she was madly in love with him, not remembering a thing that that happened.

  19. QUESTION:
    New glamorous names for a nightclub? Can you think of a theme that has not been done before?
    I am helping a friend with a nightclub take over and reinvention and so we are trying to think of a new name for the club and as all the promo gear has to be ordered before the club re-opens we need to come up with a name pretty sharpish. We are thinking of creating somewhere that is comfortable, classy and sexy.

    The old club has a bit of a bad rep and so we are looking at moving away form that and bringing in a new clientele and having a certain crown puller, so if anyone has any ideas for a new nightclub that is hoping to branch into the more glamorous venue without all the leopard print or without being reminiscent of a strip club.

    The old club looked pretty futuristic when it was last done but now that is dated and needs a complete overhaul.

    There will be a new self contained room added too so if anyone has any ideas for the second smaller room in the club, don;t be afraid to pipe up. We like the idea of having flowing water under a clear bar in the smaller room.

    We don't have too much of a budget right now but the money will be reinvested into the club as time goes by so any ideas whether big or small are very welcome.

    Also some ideas from people of what they want from their local nightclub. This club used to be rammed every weekend but numbers have been declining since the recession and since the previous owners seemed to stop investing in the club.

    • ANSWER:
      Hmmmm. I can offer you no suggestions whatsoever.

I am staying at the Millennium UN Plaza Hotel. Also include which night would be better, Friday or Saturday. Thank you in advance.

    Also, we like Hip-hop, Pop, Dance Music.

    • ANSWER:
      Well it's always changing. One minute a place will be hot and the next it's overrun by the Bridge and Tunnel crowd.

      You won't find any good clubs near Times Square. Head to the Meatpacking District and walk around to see what looks hot. Just be aware that there is usually a line at most places (but 2 females shouldn't have a problem - just don't bring a bunch of dudes with you).

  30. QUESTION:
    I'm thinking of opening a nightclub and naming it Club Baby Seal. Is that a good or bad idea?
    my wife thinks its a bad one, but i like that its memorable

    • ANSWER:
      That's an awesome name. I would check it out. Like the poster above me stated, you may get a few protesters but they will provide you with advertisement that money can't buy. It reminds me of the Mexican restaurant a young guy started up a few years ago called the Pink Taco. He is doing very well now.

  31. QUESTION:
    Dance: What's the difference between a two-step and a nightclub two-step?
    I was planning to take a dance lesson but I just noticed something:
    Last week they offered a "Nightclub 2-step lesson" (which I missed) and
    this week it's a "2-step lesson"

    Since the class has specified the different names, I assume they aren't the same. What's the difference between the dances?

    • ANSWER:
      Two-step is actually a generic term. It really only means that it's a dance that entails both "quick" and "slow" steps. Foxtrot, for instance, is a two-step. But that isn't what your schedule is talking about.
      Nightclub two step is a dance invented by Buddy Schwimmer back in the 60's, long before his current fame as father to Benji and Lacey. It isn't really closely related to any other dance, but it is very vaguely reminiscent of bolero in some aspects. My guess would be that the other is probably the C&W dance usually known as Texas two step, which seems best described as a fast foxtrot or slow quickstep turned on its head.

  32. QUESTION:

    So my friend and I are starting a nightclub, but we can't decide what to call it.

  33. QUESTION:
    What's a good bar or nightclub in California?
    I live south of LA and north of San Diego. Can anyone name a good nightclub without a huge cover charge?

    • ANSWER:
      If you go somewhere like Whittier Blvd or Sunset Blvd there is a huge grouping of bars so if you dont like one you can go to the next. There has to be one that has a cover that you will pay for sure! Look at an online yelow pages, it will show you what bars are on those streets and others. Your best bet would be to go to LA because there is the most variety in bars.

  34. QUESTION:
    I need a nightclub name please?
    Okay so I already asked but I am re-asking because I didn't give enough info. So I am writing a story and one of the main characters owns a Nightclub. I think my story is going to be set in like the 1940's or 1950's and the location of the club is going to be like in a city downtown, kind of in a bad part of town. So if anyone can think of a great name for the nightclub, please please tell me :]

  36. QUESTION:
    When writing a novel or short story are there rules about using the real names of places or events?
    When writing a story to be published what are the rules for using the real names of places? I know it is fine to write about real places in history, or real general places i.e. Central Park, but what about the specific names of restaurants, shops, streets, nightclubs, pubs and jails?
    All the things written are good, there is no slander.
    Are you able to publish these real names in a fiction story, or do they need to be changed to made up names?

    • ANSWER:
      JW,

      It would be a good idea to get permission when using places of business. Actually, authors usually write restaurants and such and make mention that they plan on using their shops in a novel. Most novels that have actual places don't really go into detail about the place, they simply make mention of the establishment and leave it at that.

    Iguana, those names do not ring bells in my head, but I like that you are out there to try to answer. Thanks, man.

  41. QUESTION:
    What's a good NightClub name?
    I'm writing a story and I need a NightClub name, and none of the searches I am doing is giving me anything good. Please help!

    • ANSWER:
      My name is Preston Rideout. I live in Vegas and work in the Nightclub Industry as a Nightclub Consultant and Nightlife Social Media specialist. Your question is very common in my industry. A Nightclub name plays a significant role in branding, advertising, long term success or short term failure.

      The worst possible Nightclub name is a person's name. Case in point, celebrity's like to own nightclubs but know little about Nightlife. Naming a nightclub after your self conveys Blinding Hubris and damages nightclub longevity. Today's celebrity owners are tomorrows police report and rehab patients. Celebrity status has a shelf life. As Celebrity's become less relevant so do their nightclubs.

      The second worst possible name for a nightclub is any word exceeding 2 syllables. A longer Nightclub name is often mispronounced, misspelled, and does not have a stickiness factor.

      The Most successful nightclubs in Las Vegas share a common characteristic. Their names are One Syllable such as; Tryst, TAO, PURE, Rehab, Chateau, Gallery, Bank, Jet, Haze, Rain, Moon, Vanity, XS. Each of these nightclub names sets them apart from one another but all retain the elusive stickiness factor. Don't be mistaken. There are many factors that play a role in the success of these nightclubs but it begins with their name.

      Focus on one syllable words and stop searching for nightclub names. Instead, start searching an online thesaurus. You will be surprised. It's much easier to name a Nightclub by searching similar words with different meanings and then choosing a name not already associated with Nightlife.

      Your name will be unique and original because the name you choose will already have pre existing associations with common Definition just like Tryst, TAO, PURE, Rehab, Chateau, Gallery, Bank, Jet, Haze, Rain, Moon, Vanity, XS...... These names had no pre existing connotation to Nightlife until one day someone decided to brand a multi million dollar investment after an Affair, Meditation, Drug Rehabilitation, an Art exhibit, an Air plane, Fog, Weather, a Planet and Gluttony.

    I know most of them are in Hollywood but what are the names

    • ANSWER:
      S Bar, for one, on the corner of Hollywood and Vine.

      Good luck getting in there! I hope you don't think you can meet them there. For one, they shoot in a closed VIP area. You can't even get close. And you might not even notice that they are shooting, since everything is on the downlow. They don't want stalkers on the set, ya know what I mean?

      Come on, it's about as "reality" as WWF Wrestling. It's all scripted, all fantasy.

      If you want to visit, then have a great time. Just don't expect to meet any celebs there.

  44. QUESTION:
    What are some good names for a club?
    I want to start a club, but I don't know what to name it. I want a name that sounds good, no more than two words, please. Also, this isn't like a nightclub or anything like that. Thanks.
    It's like a club for an app called Party in my Dorm, if you've ever played it.

      That would greatly depend on the location of the club and what exactly you are wanting to do at your club.

    Thanks a lot! But i really need to know about the video arcade.. :(

    Nice about the courts and fuel !
    Ugh, no thanks about worldtour..

    • ANSWER:
      On Deck Twelve there is a teens-only club called Fuel where you can hang out, dance, and enjoy music.

      Also on Deck Twelve is the Living Room which is a laid-back place for hang and chill with new friends.

      There is a Sports Court where they hold tournaments of basketball, volleyball, soccer, and many other different sports.

      The Royal Promenade on Deck Five is a place where you can go to a realxing library, an upscale bar, boutiques, pubs, dining, and easy access to the Centrum's four-story stairway.

      The site doesn't say anything about if the video arcade is free or not, but I would assume that you would put maybe just quarters or something in it to play. Have fun =]

  50. QUESTION:
    What are the names of the (adult) nightclubs in Sosua?
    Is there still lots of nightlife in Sosua? If not is there a better city in the DR for nightlife for two single men.

    • ANSWER:
      People used to say that Sosua got up when Puerto Plata sleeps. But do not expect much from Sosua nightlife anymore, with less than a handful of night spots remaining.
      Sosua is the Acapulco of the Dominican Republic. You could say that this is where tourism first began back in the 70s and 80s.
      Sosua nightlife is one that attracts singles. The Sosua beach transforms into bars that have a more open feel than what you might find in the clubs in the resorts. The enjoyment of having a few drinks and dancing under the stars on the white sandy beach is one that will keep you busy for hours. However, if you desire a club scene more than a romantic beach bar, the best Sosua nightlife is found at Club X. Club X offers wonderful Dominican music for you to dance your heart out until the wee hours of the morning. Lady Luck may be more your style for an exciting Sosua nightlife. If so, then you can head on over to the Sosua casino and try your hand at blackjack

Copyright © 2010 Ed Bagley

Having the best indoor prep track and field performance during the 2010 season is a huge accomplishment considering our population (the current U. S. Census Bureau estimate is 309+ million).

Having the best indoor prep track and field performance during the past 11+ years is an even greater accomplishment.

Among the 28 marks (14 each for boys and girls), the one name that jumps out is Alan Webb. Webb holds the best marks in 4 events—the 1500, Mile, 3000 and 2 Mile. Polytechnic Relay has 3 best marks—in the boys 4 x200, and the girls 4 x 200 and 4 x 400.

Alan Webb broke Jim Ryun's 4:07.8 prep record as a sophomore by running 4:06.94, ran 3:53.43 to shatter Ryun's 36-year-old national high school record of 3:55.3, and ran 3:38.26 to break Ryun's 37-year-old, 1500-meter high school record of 3:39.0 set in 1964.

Webb also became the first American high schooler ever to run a sub-four minute mile indoors with his 3:59.86 effort. He currently holds the American record for the mile in 3:46.91.

Seven other athletes show up twice—Casey Combest in the 55 and 60, Robby Andrews in the 800 and 1000, Michael Coe in the 1600 and 3200, Wayne Davis in the 55 and 60 hurdles, Francena McCorory in the girls' 300 and 400, Chanelle Price in the 500 and 800, and Jacquelyn Coward in the 55 and 60 hurdles.

The biggest name among the rest is Jordan Hasay in the 3200, who set the national 1500 record of 4:14.50 in a Semi-Final Heat while competing in the 2008 U. S. Olympic Trials as a high school junior.

Six of the 28 marks have also been set this year by Nick Vena in the shot put, Alec Faldermeyer in the weight throw, Emily Lipari in the Mile, Emily Sisson in the 3200, Megan Goethals in the 2 Mile, and Shelby Ashe in the weight throw.

Here is the best of the best for the past 11+ years:

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How do you sign on to scholastic book club without being a teacher?
    I really want to sign on, but im not a teacher and i don't know the user name and password.

    • ANSWER:
      Well technically you won't be able to, but if you have a child in school you can order online. Your child's teacher needs to set up ordering for parents and then you can order online when they send book orders home. They will give you a special password to log in and everything, but that isn't quite the same as the teacher site. They only ship to schools, so the book club section won't let you order and have items shipped to your house.

      I'm not sure what state you live in, but Scholastic also has warehouse sales that are supposed to be open only to teachers, but they never have checked anyone out when I have gone to them. Here is the site to see if there is one in your area:

      http://www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/events/warehouse/

      If they do check, tell them you are a student teacher or home schooler.

  2. QUESTION:
    How long does Scholastic Book Club orders delivers to the school?
    How many days, weeks, or months?

    • ANSWER:
      Its always ages when your waiting for a book to arrive. It depends on where you live and if they actually have all the books in stock, sometimes an order will be delayed if they don't have them in stock. We wait about a month but I live in a rural area.

  3. QUESTION:
    How can I cancel my Dr. Seuss's Scholastic Book club?

    • ANSWER:
      There should be information in the bills you get about how to cancel your subscription. If not, there will be a phone number for you to call about your account. Call that number and tell them you want to cancel. Be aware that they may try to convince you to keep your subscription. Just be polite and firm that you want to cancel.

  4. QUESTION:
    Scholastic Book Club?
    Hi all. I am interested in building my daughter's library and came across the scholastic book club www.homeclubs.scholastic.com. The flyer doesn't really describe the terms and conditions of the offer and would like to know once I recieve the intial books what the shipping & handleing costs are... and what my future purchase committement is? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Your best bet from scholastic is to get them through the teacher club . . . no minimum purchases, no shipping and handling, and you earn points on your purchases.

      Call scholastic (1-800-SCHOLASTIC) and ask to have catalogs sent to you as a homeschooling parent representing a homeschool group (I am and do). Give them an address and ask how to verify that you are a homeschooler. (It took an additional phone call for us, no big deal.)

      The catalogs to probably request are: Honeybee (0-4 years), Firefly (Preschool), SeeSaw (K-1) and Click (Software, some movies, etc.). In addition, this website has coupon codes that you can put into when ordering online with Scholastic Book Clubs http://www.proteacher.net/discussions/showthread.php?p=402905

      You can find the codes for the month and with a purchase, you get an additional free books that month. (A great deal!)

      If they want to know how many you need, tell them about 5-10 each. In a month or so you will get the catalogs in the mail. There are great value libraries in them and you have complete control over what you order.

      (Homeschool preschool is basically just working on basics with her, and since I am sure you do this, you will qualify.)

      Some other great ways to build a youngster's library are:
      Garage sales, 2nd hand (goodwill) thrift stores (we love savers, if you have one there near you), ask on freecycle (freecycle.org to find a group near you), ebay, and craigslist.

      Good luck and Happy Reading!

  5. QUESTION:
    I have heard of Scholastic book clubs for schools, are there any simular clubs for Christian Schools?

    • ANSWER:

  6. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      http://www.highlights.com/jump.jsp?itemType=CATEGORY&itemID=261

      It seems as though it would give you an alternative.

  7. QUESTION:
    I need some suggestions for a good chapter book for third grade book club?
    Large book club - both boys and girls, need a good chapter book appropriate for 3rd grade readers. Sometimes "Scholastic" books are not readily available so would like to stay away from that publisher. Kids have to buy the book.

    • ANSWER:
      Castle in the Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop
      Franny K Stein by Jim Benton (series with illustrations)
      Hatchet by Gary Paulsen (might be a bit too much for some)
      Bone by Jeff Smith (graphic/comic but kids that age love it)
      Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
      The Underneath by Kathi Appelt
      Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins

  8. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      No membership fee.

  9. QUESTION:
    What's the book about an Old-Western magician who tries in vain to fleece the townspeople during a seance?
    Hey, thanks for giving this a look! I ordered a paperback childrens book from the Scholastic book club in elementary school, twenty years ago, and the story was so good, I want to find it for my stepson. The story takes place in the Old West. A couple of bright youngsters in a small town have a problem -- It seems a travelling magician and his lackey, a huge, grim man who never speaks, are planning to fleece the townspeople of their money during a public seance, featuring a coffin and all! A spirit will be conjured from the pine box, or something to that effect. Unbeknownst to anyone except the two youngsters, the plan is for the grim, tall brute to steal some money from a bank vault while the lights are all down. The kids manage to turn a light on the dastardly duo in the act of burglarizing the vault, and the town's money is saved! I can't think of the title, and I must find this awesome, illustrated paperback for my kids to enjoy. Any leads would be appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      I think it's "The Ghost on Saturday Night" by Sid Fleischman. http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Saturday-Night-Beech-Chapter/dp/0688149200/?tag=24680e-20

  10. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      No.
      I teach college level theology.
      Sorry.
      I used to read them as a kid though some 20 + years ago.

  11. QUESTION:
    Do teachers/schools gain anything from students ordering from Scholastic Book Clubs?
    The prices in the catalogs teachers send home are not always particularly competitive, and I'd feel better if I knew that somehow the teachers gained classroom materials or the school got something out of the deal. Any teachers out there that can shed some light?

    • ANSWER:
      Depending on how much is ordered by students, teachers can earn free books and educational materials for their classrooms. I taught preschool for 3 years and earned numerous books and books-on-tape but the catalog that teachers had to choose from included other classroom items.

  12. QUESTION:
    Help with a book club?
    My son's preschool teacher sent home Scholastic book club order forms last week. I called today to get the classroom code so I can order some books online rather than giving her the filled out order form and the money. Not only that, but when parent's order online, the classroom gets a free book. She said she didn't know anything about it and that it is actually a parent volunteer who is in charge of it. So I called the customer service line for Scholastic and they told me that I cannot order online and have them sent to my house. I asked if she could help me get the class code and she said the teacher has to CHOOSE for the parents to do it that way. But the teacher and the parent volunteer know nothing about that fact that you can order online!

    I need to know if there is another reputable children's book club that I can order from and have the books sent home? Something other than Dr. Seuss or Disney book club. I really like the choices that scholastic has, but they are all making it very difficult to use.
    I shouldn't even have to ask Scholastic to send the information to the teacher. The only reason I know about the online ordering is because I read it on the order form that the teacher sent home. When I called Scholastic, they wouldn't help me, I ended up having to hang up on them.

    • ANSWER:
      My kids preschool used the online ordering but it was sent to the school, not home.

      Call scholastic and ask them to send the information to the school, or you to pass along to the teacher. or give them the schools email(i guess you should ask first) so they can get the info thatway.

  17. QUESTION:
    GOOD Early Elementary Book-Selling Sites w/ Low Prices?
    We love books in this family, however, my 7 y/o's reading abilities are about to surpass most of the books he has. He brought home a 'Scholastic-Book Club' magazine, that I really like, but I want to get him several books as part of his b-day present (it wouldn't be a suprise because those books are shipped to the school and he brings them home).

    So, can anyone suggest sites? I went to scholastic.com, but there's not near as many deals and discounts as in the flyer he brought home.

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      If you do a google search for "discount Children's books" it brings up many sites where you can get books. I used to work in an elementary school library and we had Scholastic Book Fairs and those guys rip parents off big time. Even Amazon.com has books that are cheaper than Scholastic. Also, you might do a search for discount books with the name of your town to see if there are any discount book stores in your area. Also, if you have a public library nearby, he might enjoy getting his own library card and going there.

    I'm trying to remember the name of a book that I read in the late 80's early 90's.?
    This is kinda of an odd question, but many years ago, when I was in middle school I ordered a book from the Scholastic Book Club through my school. It was about Fairies, a girl who was banished to live in a castle, and a missing little girl named Cecily, the fall harvest and more. I am trying to remember the name of that book so I can get it again. I read it a thousand times when I was younger and think some of my nieces might really enjoy it. I hope you can help!! I've tried every other avenue to remember this book. I would have ordered it in the late 80's to early 90's. Thank you in advance!!

  25. QUESTION:
    Trying to find the name of a children's book I read in the 1970s?
    The book was a Scholastic book I ordered from the book club. It was about children at a Catholic boarding school in occupied France who helped to hide some Jewish children. I remember that Nazi soldiers tried to convince the school children to betray the Jewish children's whereabouts with bribes of oranges and chocolate. I remember the children hiding in a hole in the ground. I remember that the soldiers returned as the children were preparing a Christmas pageant. The book made a great impression that still lingers. I'd love to share the book with my children ... if I could only figure out its title! Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Twenty and Ten by Claire Huchet Bishop
      If we take these children, we can never betray them, no matter what the Nazis do."

      During the German occupation of France, twenty French children were brought to a refuge in the mountains. One day a young man came to their school with a request: Could they take in, and hide, ten Jewish refugee children?

      Sister Gabriel spoke up. "The Nazis are looking for those children. If we take them we must never let on that they are here. Do you understand?"

      Of course the children understood - but how would they hide them if the Nazis came?

  26. QUESTION:
    Scholastic books are one of the biggest supporters of the Golden Compass, in your child’s school.?
    . But did you know, YOU have a choice of whether or not Scholastic is in your school? There are many good Children’s book clubs out there other than Scholastic that they can be replaced with. Groups that offer books that are entertaining, loved by children and at the same time do not advocate such twisted views of parents and God as does the Golden Compass series, better know as “his dark materials” That name in itself should have been a warning sign to those who care for their children. If this is what Scholastic wishes to promote, that’s their choice, but so is who I give my money to, that will say a lot, are they in it for the children or just to make a quick buck. My guess is the latter. It is up to YOU the parent to clean house. Are you going to do your part?

    • ANSWER:
      Not one more dime of my money will be going to them.

  30. QUESTION:
    Title of children's books from 80's needed?
    I had two books when I was a kid, one of which, the title escapes me, and the other which seemed to be renamed in different versions. Any info would be great.

    First book, was almost like a detective story with a flying squirrel who was framed for a crime. It was set in some kind of town or something with all sorts of talking animals and such.

    The second dealt with real people. Two kids were kidnapped in the present time. I think it was written from the perspective of the boy and not the girl. The boy was kind of average middle-class. The girl had more money. She was also more feisty. There was a scene where one of the kids needed Kaopectate, I think. They eventually get away from the kidnappers. Back then, the book was called, I think "Run for your Life!," but I seem to recall it being called different things for different versions.

    I probably got these from the Scholastic Book Club from school. I don't know if they have this anymore.
    Edit: I found the old version of the kidnap book, but if there is a newer version, please let me know.

  31. QUESTION:
    Romeo and Juliet book?
    There's this book in the Scholastic Book Order - Teen Readers Club. The book is Romeo and Juliet. I wanted to order it, but I don't know if its the 'real' version of it. It says its by William Shakespeare but its only 128 pages. Could someone tell me if this is like the full length, 'real' version of this? The book has a black cover with William Shakespeare written on the top with Romeo and Juliet written underneath in big capitalized red letters, with a picture of a rose underneath, with the Scholastic logo in the bottom left corner. Could someone please tell me if they've read this, and if its the real one or not? Coz I don't want to waste my money buying a different version. Thanks in advance.
    There is no bookstore where I live, why else do you think I order from Scholastic? The closest bookstore is 1 1/2 hours away, so, yeah, I'll just go there in a minute so I can help the local economy...

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know that edition, but I can tell you that in the Complete Shakespeare that I keep next to the computer, Romeo and Juliet is only thirty-seven pages--probably bigger pages and smaller type, and definitely fewer notes, than the edition you're considering has. But it's very probable that the book you're considering is the whole play as Shakespeare wrote it.

  33. QUESTION:
    Ok you Sci-Fi bookworms, I've got one for you!?
    I am looking for a book I had as a kid (many years ago). I don't remember much about it except it had a picture of a door in the sky with a boy falling through it. Seems that it was a story about this alien boy who got too close to this door and fell through it to earth.

    I enjoyed this book in school (got it from the Scholastic Book Club in grade school) and would really like to find it again if possible.

    • ANSWER:
      The Forgotten Door by Alexander Key
      http://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Door-Apple-Paperbacks/dp/0590431307/ref=tmm_mmp_title_0#noop

      Jon, a boy from another world, accidentally falls through a forgotten door to Earth, losing his memory, but retaining his ability to communicate with animals and hear people s thoughts. He is warned of danger by a deer, and narrowly escapes peril throughout his adventure. He happens upon the farm of kindly Mary and Thomas Bean. Jon s supernatural abilities are almost immediately apparent to Mary, and she suspects he is otherworldly. Thomas is skeptical, at first. Word travels fast about a genius boy staying with the Beans. Mary and Thomas realize there is precious little time to take Jon elsewhere before everyone from threatening neighbors to the CIA tries to get their hands on him. The military and the press are closing in on the house when Jon hears his father s voice calling him from their world. Jon realizes the door is open again, and without a moment to lose, the three of them steal away through the woods on a moonless night, guided by the voice of Jon s father to seek the forgotten door.

  34. QUESTION:
    Did anybody ever read The Babysitter's Club series?
    I am from the UK and here it is (was?) published under Scholastic I think. But the book club I got mine stopped selling them when I got to about number 60 in the series. :(

    Are they still being written? If not, how did they end? Are they still available to buy in the UK? What was your favourite character? What was your favourite book?

    I loved them for years! I even had the film and got up at 6am on Sundays to watch the TV show. lol

    • ANSWER:
      All the time! I was hooked from about 4th grade on.

      The series was great, but they started to get newer and problems began to spring up. The same woman wrote them, but they seemed more depressing and didn't have the same feel. I quit reading when that happened (the newer books anyway). I got a new 'older' book every chance I got.

      My absolute favorite was probably Stacey and the Mystery at the Empty House. It was part of the mystery series, and it scared me to death every time I read it! My favorite character, though, was probably Kristy, though I really liked how sophisticated Laine was (despite the fact that she wasn't all that nice all the time).

  35. QUESTION:
    Have any of you christians received this email?
    I received this email about a book called Conversations with God and to beware of the book because its the devils work. They call the book devastating because supposedly it has nothing to do with the word of God... Here is the email.

    If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you
    have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please take note of the information below and pass it along to others. Schools are distributing this book to children through the Scholastic Book Club.

    The name of the book is Conversations with God.. James Dobson talked about
    this book twice this week. It is devastating. Parents, churches and
    Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information on to
    church/e-mail addresses, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins,
    friends.

    Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV, in
    movie theaters, on the internet, and the music they listen to, but also be
    alert regarding the books they read.

    Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations with God
    for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless enough by their
    titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list
    for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, "Don't judge a
    book by its cover or title.."

    The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the
    "voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not Bible-based and
    go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase),
    when a girl asks the question "Why am I a lesbian?" His answer is that she
    was 'born that way' because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed,
    with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her
    differences

    Another girls poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?"

    His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done nothing wrong."

    Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply "I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive.. There is no such thing as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell everyone, do not judge people.. People have chosen to judge one another and this is wrong, because the rule is "'judge not lest ye be judged."

    Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some instances quote (in error) the Word of God.

    And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to schoolchildren through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.

    Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be sober and vigilant about teaching your children the Word of God, and guarding their exposure to worldly mediums, because our adversary, the devil, roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.

    Who has read this book and thinks that the book is evil? I am going to go out and buy this book and I think Christians are making too much of the book.
    Thanks gary b. Good suggestion, but I think that if the book says those things, whats wrong with the book? I am going to read it.

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah that same carnivarous lion that God made...hhmm.. I believe there is an objective right and wrong. That which hurts someone is fundamentally wrong..Lesbianism does not hurt you or I in an objective sense does it? Therefore it is not wrong, nobody is hurt...Marriage is a man made institution. If the girl lives with her bodyfriend and has sexual relations with him that is not sin because it says in the bible that the very act of coitus is registered as marriage. Marriage by law, and in a big Church is not any better then them having sex and marrying that way..But, maybe it is fun for you for governments to keep tabs on you night and day..Perhaps get the chip inserted in your wrist next that Wb was proposing..?

  36. QUESTION:
    I need suggestions.....?
    My son's preschool teacher sent home Scholastic book club order forms last week. I called today to get the classroom code so I can order some books online rather than giving her the filled out order form and the money. Not only that, but when parent's order online, the classroom gets a free book. She said she didn't know anything about it and that it is actually a parent volunteer who is in charge of it. So I called the customer service line for Scholastic and they told me that I cannot order online and have them sent to my house. I asked if she could help me get the class code and she said the teacher has to CHOOSE for the parents to do it that way. But the teacher and the parent volunteer know nothing about that fact that you can order online!

    I need to know if there is another reputable children's book club that I can order from and have the books sent home? Something other than Dr. Seuss or Disney book club. I really like the choices that scholastic has, but they are all making it very difficult to use.

    • ANSWER:
      Have you talked to the volunteer who set it up? We do ours on line and find it very convenient, although not all parents order on line. Some prefer to do it through the teacher. All books are delivered to the school and the teacher distributes them. Scholastic is excellent, and you will probably have teachers who participate all the way through your son's elementary school years. The books are reasonably priced and you will find that they are terrific to work with. For example, if a book is unavailable and will be delivered late, they will send you either a free book or a coupon for a free book of your choice. Maybe you could offer to help the volunteer managing it to set up the on line ordering.

  37. QUESTION:
    Is this a good deal?
    From the scholastic book club flyer:

    Sims deluxe edition
    Sims unleashed expansion pack
    Sims vacation expansion pack

    For 29.99 (for 3 of them)
    And it says on the bottom Win95/98/XP
    Will it work on vista? (home basic)
    i have the new model acer laptop
    yes, but will it work on windows vista

    • ANSWER:
      theres a high chance that it will work on vista. although vista have had some problems with things not being compatible, normally it would work on a newer model though.
      and aslong as the expansions will work on the deluxe edt then yeh seems pretty good.

  38. QUESTION:
    NSA sends bill payment?!?
    North Shore agency has been sending me letters to pay off 24 dollars for something I had accidently signed up for...

    I did the whole snazzy 'return to sender' thing, and Scholastic has not cleared me. I have no clue how to contact them.

    How do I get these goon's off?!?

    Also, how I accidently signed up was that I was registering for something, and I accidently clicked on the 'Sign up for scholastic book club' radio button. There was NO verification, and I clicked the submit button. There was no undo or anything.

    This sucks.

    • ANSWER:
      Why don't you return the item back to them with a letter explaining what had happened. This company is very understanding. Also there should be a phone # on their paper work. If not you can go on the internet under the neme of the company to find what you are looking for.

  39. QUESTION:
    Do I have any chance of getting accepted in to Emerson?
    I have decided that Emerson would be a great college to help me excel in writing. As much as I would like to go there, I think my chances are pretty slim. I have a 2.72 GPA, I have a D in AP Biology, however, I don't think that's important considering that the field I am aiming to focus on is English. I still feel uneasy about that grade because, well, a D is a D. Do you think they will like the fact that I took my schools hardest class offered and didn't quit? Also, I am TERRIBLE at math, I am not doing too well in there. That is PARTLY because I am in two math classes, Geometry and Algebra II. I took two math classes because I wanted to go into Pre-Calculus and Trig my Senior year . Does this show that I am determined?
    Over the summer I am also planning to take some sort of Journalism class, and maybe improve my grammar and vocabulary so that I can really knock people out with my writing. I also plan to submit my creative writing pieces to various contests and scholarship programs (such as the Scholastic Book Club Scholarship that has the grand prize of publishing your work if it's good enough).

    So what do you think? What are my chances of getting in?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm sorry, but I thikn your chances are less than 25%. I wish i didn't have to say that, but feel I must be honest. Please keep working hard and I think you will improve greatly, because you obviously have good intellect and good work ethic.

  40. QUESTION:
    Can you PLEASE help me find this 90's childrens book by my skimpy plot?
    I dont remember much but ill still give this a shot cause im so desperate to find this book. The little that i remember was that a girl (or possibly several girls) in the book was starting a club. I dont remember if it was a secret club, or a tree house club, or why theyre starting a club, or what the rest of the book was about, but i remember on one page there was a list, made to look hand written as opposed to the rest of the book being typed, so it was a little list of rules or club codes and possibly original handshakes or writing codes and stuff, all which i intensely tried to abide by and follow, and imitate their good Samaritan style. This book had me trying to build a tree house, start a lemonade stand, and helping old ladies cross the street, all of which was very out of place in the suburbs of queens, new york. Im not sure that these things were in the book, i probably pulled the tree house and lemonade ideas from several other books and tv, but i know for sure this book had to do with some club. There were definitely no adult themes or mature dialogue or plots in the book, was all very elementary appropriate.

    I was in elementary school through the 90's, the in particular year range im positive i had this book would be anywhere between 1995-1998. I barely remember the book which is so ironic because it was a favorite of mine and i read it several times and tried to do what the characters did. I remember the book was a regular sized paperback, 100+ pages, the binding of the book was a light ash blue color, the cover illustration was of a girl with either red or brown wavy hair, possibly more than one girl. The illustration was not lifelike, just an illustration. I dont believe this was a popular book like the cam jansen, matilda, babysitters club, judy blume and beverly cleary books. I was reading all of those at the time and its definitely NOT any of those as ive double checked vigorously on all the popular book sites hoping that i could perhaps find my book in the related and recommended book sections. I remember the cover of the book for sure, but its tough to find without a title because most book covers have much changed since then. I dont believe it was part of a series because i remember being anxious to read more and looking for a series at the time. The publisher was likely scholastic since i ordered from their book club flyers and book fairs in those days, but it could also very well be penguin, puffin, and several other popular kids book publishers.

    Im hoping that maybe theres some other girls on here that read this book at some point and maybe recognize that little list graphic in the book that im talking about. *Fingers crossed*
    ive definitely covered all bases on my own already. im the oldest of two, my mom threw out my books when we moved, and no one really paid attention. The closest ive come was finding an old picture of the bookshelf in my room, but it predates the details of digital cameras so it is not legible, but i see the binding and the cover. Asking on here is my last resort.

    • ANSWER:
      Have you considered asking your parents or siblings about it? Being older than you at the time, they'd have clearer memories of it right now. Especially if you say you've read it several times: they must've seen you with the book one time or another.

    • ANSWER:
      Oh my gosh, I think I know what you're talking about! Ah, I'm going to try to think. I know I have a couple of those books laying around somewhere... I know that the girl would write in a diary every night. She was in 2nd grade or something. I think I remember the books having squiggly borders on the cover.

      I don't know if I'm thinking of the same thing or not... I will look in my old kid stuff, to try to find it, if you think this is the same series. I read these books in around 2000-2003.

  42. QUESTION:
    What are these books' titles and Authors?
    A long time ago, I was apart of an RL Stine book club, via Scholastic, two books that came had nothing to do with horror or RL Stine at all.
    One was a book about this girl who was found in a barn or something, by the people she now calls her parents, and her brother. No one knew where she had come from,and because she couldn't walk for some reason, her parents got her a wheelchair which she now uses. Then, on her birthday or something, they go to the place where they found her, and she goes back in time to the civil war or something? and that is where she came from in the beginning. I think it stays mostly in the civil war after that, but it may weave in and out of times (The book is set in the "present day," and that is probably at least as recent as the late 80s-late 90s). The other book is that books sequel, and I think that the author was male, and the girl was turning 12 or 13 or something, if that helps at all. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    I am in school and i have this paper to order books, and i do, but there are not the ones i want so can i buy form the internet. Wont they steal my dads credit card number and take the whole money out?

    • ANSWER:
      They are a very legit and well established company that has been around a long time. I used to love ordering books from Scholastic when I was in grade school. I loved the catalogs and the books. They will honor their agreement, and send you the books that you order promptly. Try to get the books you want from your local or school library for free first, if you can. However, if they are brand new or hard to find books that your library can not get for you (from their own collection or on loan from another library), Scholastic is a good choice. So is amazon.com or a local bookstore. Your local bookstore will order anything you want for you; you can look at the Scholastic catalog and get the books you want from your local bookseller. Most of the time you have to pay ahead, however.

  45. QUESTION:
    Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins?
    Okay we are reading it in my online book club. It was really great reading the first because we used Scholastic discussion guide but Catching Fire doesn't have one. So if you have any discussion questions or anything (topics, activities etc) that has to do with the first PART (and the first part only. I haven't read the rest so please don't give anything away) that would be great.

    Thanks
    =)

    • ANSWER:
      I have read both the Hunger Games and Catching Fire and thought that the second one was much better. It is hard to say questions if you haven't read all of it, but the questions you can begin with are:

      Does it bear any resemblance to the first book?
      Who is your favorite character and why?
      Which is your favorite book out of the two and why?
      Did you expect what happened to happen?
      Could you suggest an alternative way for the story to go?
      From the point you are at in the book, what do you expect to happen?

      You could also try posing situations and respond to them as a character in the book would.

      I hope I helped, but I would try asking the question again once you have read all the book.

      The fact that you're an URM (under represented minority) and do rowing are hooks that will get you some edge, though I'm not saying they are going to be the major factors.

    • ANSWER:
      Your UW GPA is a little low for Duke and the Ivies, but your SAT scores look great. I'd say you have a shot at every school you listed, especially if you're recruited for rowing. What kind of erg scores do you have? If you're under 7:30, I think your chances are great at Duke, ND, BC, and the Ivies. If your erg scores aren't quite there yet but are still reasonably good (think under 7:50), make sure to contact coaches and get your name out there. Scholarship money will be harder to come by, but you'll probably still get a few bites and some help with admission.

      If you're not recruited, I think intangibles like your essay and your recs will play much more of role. Without knowing more, it's hard to make predictions, but I think you have excellent chances everywhere on your list from Cornell down, and you have decent shot everywhere else. Good luck!

aa
With a location in Montrose Colorado ,El Jimador restaurant is a welcome addition to thewestern slope dining scene. The locally-owned Mexican restaurant is far better and more authentic than any of the major national Mexican restaurant chains. Apparently relying on recipes from the chef's family,El Jimadorhas a nice variety of food at good prices.

The Scene

The walls at theEl Jimadorare brightly colored and are decorated with a few Mexican items or paintings.

The Food

The owners of El Jimador describe their operation as being based on the recipes of the family whose cooking was well-known in her region of Mexico. Everything containing cheese is made with traditional Mexican queso blancoand yellow cheddar. This helps add to the authentic tastes. There is an unusually large vegetarian selection, too.
How Hot is It?
That's a common question asked about Mexican food, and most dishes at theEl Jimadoraren't too spicy in comparison to most Mexican restaurants. A few are quite spicy - surprisingly so, in fact. Most places where I've had Chile Relleno it's been very mild; here it was just right.
Salsa & Guacamole
Every Mexican restaurant serves chips and salsa before the meal, but none serve a salsa like El Jimador. The cilantro is prominent, but not overbearing. It's heavy on the onions, but not very spicy. It's homemade and the fresh taste is far superior to what you typically get in chain restaurants.El Jimadorsalsa can be purchased in small tubs to take home. The guacamole, on the other hand, tastedfabulous . Appetizers & Munchies . It compares very favorably with the nachos you can get elsewhere and is probably better than most. The use of queso blanco helps make the flavor stand out above most nachos we've had. Like most things we tried from the menu, the spice in the nachos was very mild. The shrimp nachos are stupendous

Drinks

If there is anything i will emphasize it's the margarita's They have to be some of the best iihaveEVER had. That is indeed a boast. The secret is that they are made with pure lime juice and triple sec not "Sweet n Sour" Mix like the others..They are indeed incredible.

Combos & Deals

There are more than a dozen different combo deals offering three main items (enchiladas, burritos, tacos, chalupas, tamales, quesadilas, etc.) plus beans and rice. The beans are creamier than is commonly the case and the rice milder. These combos are priced well and provide a very good value because what you get is quite filling for usually less then .

Service

The staff atEl Jimadorwas friendly and helpful. The waitress was knowledgable about the food and could answer questions about what was in the dishes and what they tasted like.

Dining at theEl Jimador Mexican Restaurant

El Jimador can be found near the southern end of Montrose. They are far better and more authentic than most any of the others. In the past I enjoyed eating at many local restaurants, but recently the quality of the menu has declined and I haven't enjoyed eating there as much as before.
Now, though, I won't feel the loss of either restaurant nearly as much. There are several more things I'd like to try on theEl Jimador menu and I look forward to eating there again.

Try El Jimador and just ask the locals who are so used to it they call it "Jimmys". you'll be glad you did..

Teen Clubs

September 23, 2011 - Posted in Uncategorized - Permalink

Have you found that a troubled teens life has been struggling with drugs and or alcohol abuse. For many parents finding out that their son or daughter has been struggling with teen drug abuse is a catastrophic revelation. With the pressures of family and society today trickling down to include our teenagers, drug addiction is the most alarming statistic of them all. With drug addiction so common amongst troubled teens the availability of drug treatment and rehab sometimes becomes the measure of last resort and the research result. Teenagers can be very cunning at times displaying a temporary change of behavior only to lapse into their old wayward ways as parents loosen the noose and ease any disciplinary measures they have put into place to overcome their teenagers rebellion.

Many teens like to go out and play during the night; parents should know where their child is and what they are doing. Dances and teen clubs are not always a safe environment when it comes to hanging out. Parents need too know that frequent hang-out clubs including movie theaters, bowling alleys, pool halls and video arcades are places that can be dangerous for teens in groups. In these places the teens are free for tacking the drugs with friends. some teenage are firstly take it when those feel tension in life or any small problem and some are take this to enjoy with friends but when it make be come as a habits then create a problems. Club drugs are becoming commonplace at raves, arcades, and other teen hang-outs. Teens are using these drugs in order to fit in. We are now finding out that these drugs are in our schools and homes. Teenagers are giving little thought to the dangers of club drugs and what the long term effects may be.

The following are some of the more negative effects of club drugs:

1. Memory loss
2. Hepatitis
3. Damage to nerve endings
4. Behavioral problems
5. Crime
6. Sexual assaults
7. Violence

Most of us know that anti-drug efforts alone are not enough. Our youth need effective tools and support to make correct choices. Preventing the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs will help you by showing what to look for in the users. Look for any self-destructive behavior, such as: Teenagers coming home intoxicated or high, Anorexic behaviors - not eating right or excessively thin, Gambling with friends every day or night, Always on the computer without any breaks and Playing video games all the time.

Research indicates there are a number of social and environmental factors that are related to the teen drug problem in the world, with a significant number of teenagers engaging in some form of drug and/or alcohol testing period at some time during their adolescence. When teens are brought together under a foundation of negative influences broken home, developmental problems, emotional issues, familial problems, etc. the underlying risk factors inherent to structural functionalism can in many instances act as the agitator for substance abuse. Parents and families face some of their most difficult battles in our society; that is raising their teenager's drug free. The programs used at drug rehab and treatment centers help teenagers to deal with issues in a more mature way so they are able to grow and mature into adulthood.

Some of us still keep in touch to this day.

    I'm going on a Royal Caribbean cruise in the summer and I was wondering if the teen club is actually worth it or if it's lame... like do people actually dance and do like 'teenager' things or does everyone just stand around?

    • ANSWER:
      Its so much fun. especially in summer there will be tons of teenagers on the boat. the first night you go to the teen club and meet people. this way you have a group of friends to hang out with. no one really goes to the teen club after that accept for dances. yea ppl actually dance. you just talk to different people and find a group you click with. then you basically become besties and can just hang out and do whatever you feel like. new friends is the key to fun. the only thing that sucks is a 1am curfew.

      I don't know any specific "teen clubs" in So-Cal, but if you want to go to a nightclub that permits under age (any age in fact) it's the one and only Troubadour. They are in Hollywood and have launched many new acts.

      www.troubadour.com

      They have up and coming Urban bands and they serve alcohol to those 21 and over. No ins-and-outs once you're in for those under 21 so be careful when you go out - you're not coming back in.

      Good luck!

Mandarin Oriental Miami

September 23, 2011 - Posted in Uncategorized - Permalink

The July NY Video Meetup at AOL's headquarters recently had a diverse group of presenters demoing everything from an advertising portal that links up to your mobile devices to a concierge online hotel video service to an online teaching video, and even an animation block party.

Founder Casey Safron talked about the 8th Annual AnimationBlock Party, the largest animation festival on the East Coast that runs July 29-3. Safron said, "Every summer we get about 2,500 people to come out to our 3-day festival, but this year we are expecting 3,000+ because we have opened it up to include a trade show, an art gallery exhibition and a kid screening. So far we received 654 animation submissions from all over the globe - Brazil, Israel, United Kingdom, France, California and Rhode Island. We will be showing 97 of those films in six different individual programs."

Casey talked about the sponsors of his Block Party back starting in 2004, "Our very first sponsors were Crispy Cream and Pabst Blue Ribbon. It got a big laugh on Thursday night - especially when I emphasized that the combination of donuts and beer was good for my personal waist line."

Jesse Tayler, founder of oeinc.com demoed one of his new iPad video apps called VideoScience, a science educator's tool funded by Science House Venture company. He explained the allure of this series, "Children of all ages seem to be attracted to the iPad," said Tayler. "It's something about the iPad that we are discovering - the way they interact with it. The iPad is used somewhere between 40 to 60 times more than the computer - you would think that the iPad would be a much smaller market - but for some reason, having the same thing in both places and just as available, the mobile is so captivating for kids that they seem to have a higher interest level. In my generation these kids would be glued to the TV."

Steve Rosenbaum, head of the NY Video Meetup and founder/CEO of Magnify.net, introduced Nicole Cotroneo and Mark Jolly as the ultimate destination experts. Their site, Globomaestro, is a concierge online video service that includes advice from concierges and other travel professionals from The Plaza, The Bowery Hotel, St. Regis San Francisco, and Mandarin Oriental Miami.

Jolly explained how he created rich media content that included a series of professionally produced videos and blogs that showcase their concierges' local expertise. "The videos are unique because they provide local 'insider-y' places we've covered in the videos including an off-the-radar Belgian bakery in Hell's Kitchen, NYC, with Raphael Pallais, chef concierge at The Plaza; a behind the scenes tour of the NY Public Library with Raphael Pallais, chef concierge at The Plaza; and secret bars of the East Village."

"The social web has spawned countless experts, everyone is an expert, a trip advisor, and everything else, everyone has thrown their hat into the ring; everyone has something to say," Jolly continued. "GloboMaestro is about credibility; these are paid professionals whose business is to know the ins and outs of their city like no one else there advice is unparallel; so we are doing insider tips in videos and blogs - a lot is real kind of insider stuff. For example in NY we cover speak-easy, hidden bars in the East Village. We also cover things in an 'insider-way,' for instance with the Frick Collection we went downstairs to a secret bowling alley that Frick himself built, which is out of bounds to the public unless you have an special insider tour."

WiOffer is a digital media company with propriety technologies that enable TV advertisers and programmers of networks to literally beam offers, incentive and information via television to users' smart phones or tablet devices. Cofounder Matthew Greene said that the NYVideo Meetup picked him,and his partner, Andrew Pakula, to present because, "the TV to mobile category is about to be a red hot emerging platform or medium and we're on the cutting edge of that technology. For an entrepreneur's perspective, our 30+ years experience provides a level of reassurance to major brands and to major agencies that we know what we're doing and can get the job done seamlessly." Some of their clients include Burger King, American Express and Disney.

His advice to other startups wanting to get in the TV-mobile category? "Work with big brands on the brand size or cutting edge interactive agencies that live and breathe effective advertising and marketing initiatives daily. And there's only one place to find that - either inside the beast of the belly of a marketer or inside an interactive ad agency."

He chuckled about his experiences getting into the interactive advertising business, saying, "My first crotchety boss in business said 'Welcome to the agency. If you don't bother coming in Sunday don't bother coming in Saturday' - meaning if you don't come in this weekend don't bother coming in Monday."

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Has anyone stayed in the Mandarin Oriental, Miami?

    • ANSWER:
      Haha...thats where I stayed when I had the misfortune of having to stay in Miami for 2 nights....I'd be quite happy never to see Miami again,its an absolute dump,just like London,but even worse.Full of Puerto Ricans and its not safe.!!!
      Have the 2 weeks in Orlando,recommend the Holiday Inn on International Drive,and then have a week somewhere nice like Tampa,Clearwater or St Peterburg...just stay away from Miami.....and don't forget,you can turn right on a red light in Florida.Would hate to hear about someone hooting you from behind...LMFAO....

  2. QUESTION:
    Where to stay in Miami?
    So I'm visiting Miami again. Stayed at the Mandarin Oriental before but it's ridiculously expensive right now.
    Where can I stay this time round - help please. Must be at least 4 stars, with a pool or near the beach.

  3. QUESTION:
    Michy's Miami?
    Anyone ever been to Michy's in Miami? I wanna take my boyfriend there for his b day. We are staying at the Mandarin Oriental. How far or what area is Michy's in? Any other Miami restaurants suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would like to go some place with a nice atmosphere and great food.
    Thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      From the Mandarin, Michy's is north about 7 or 8 miles. I've never been, but heard it's great. I would also suggest Tuscan Steak on Miami Beach. Try searching chowhound.com for more ideas. Lots of great restaurants are on South Beach. That would be approx. 15-20 min from your hotel.

  4. QUESTION:
    Where to stay in Miami?
    In the past I stayed at the Mandarin oriental - but the prices now . . . . whoah!
    I really want to go to miami for a week - I live in London, so any excuse to soak up some sun and do a bit of shopping is welcome.

    I want to be by the beach - literally. I know the Mandarin was a drive away, it comes to it, I don't mind driving as long as the hotel is in a nice area. It would be nice to be located by the beach. I really don't mind which one as long as it's safe.
    I want to pay less that 1300 USD for the week with my husband. Help, please.

    We also don't mind staying in serviced condos.

    • ANSWER:
      Most visitors want to stay on Miami Beach, a city on a barrier island of the same name off the coast of Miami & connected to it by several causeways. "South Beach" is the southernmost 2 miles or so of Miami Beach. It contains the best known beaches, shopping streets, clubs, dozens of hotels of varying size, quality, price & ambience and the historic "art deco" district.

      Sobe hotels:
      To be in the center of or within walking distance of the center of SoBe you want to stay somewhere below 23d street (address number under 2300) and on or within a block of Washington or Collins Aves., or Ocean drive. Then you won't need a car. There are some 100 hotels in this area & about the same number above that in mid & North Beach, all on or within a block of the beach.
