The 2013 opening weekend at the Lodge and Spa at Brush Creek Ranch is only a few short weeks away! I


The 2013 opening weekend at the Lodge and Spa at Brush Creek Ranch is only a few short weeks away! It's a truly special time on the ranch when the flora and fauna begin to reawaken and bloom. We have about 55 seasonal staff members beginning to arrive next week, and we're preparing to open the doors on what will be our most exciting season yet.
April has been a fun and busy month for us. I just returned from Chicago with some of my team where we pulled a reverse "City Slickers" and took a piece of the ranch to the big city for a unique corporate meeting planning event. We set up an archery course so attendees could test their aim and get a taste of one of the many activities and adventures we offer on the ranch. It was a huge hit and we received tremendous feedback about our adventure meeting packages for corporate groups.
We are also thrilled to have Brush Creek Ranch featured as the backdrop rent a car one way atlanta to new orleans in  a stunning fashion shoot  by Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, on stands this month.

This month also saw the addition of our new Director of Operations to the Brush Creek team.  It is my pleasure to introduce Schelby Betz, who will oversee all operations on the ranch, including pre-arrival and all on ranch experiences. Schelby comes to us from the Hilton Garden Inn in San Francisco, rent a car one way atlanta to new orleans where she served rent a car one way atlanta to new orleans as the Assistant General Manager for the past year.

rent a car one way atlanta to new orleans Schelby hails from Colorado, and actually rent a car one way atlanta to new orleans has some fun family ties to the Carbon County area of Wyoming where Brush Creek Ranch is located.

I gave up on PRICELINE for March in Key West, went with the Carribean Guesthouse instead. It s around 129 and right in the heat of downtown, with good reviews. A lot of 1* - 2.5* inns in Key West are really far from downtown and parking is supposedly a nightmare. I m a big priceline fan but I think in KW PRICELINE is at it s best either off-season or to shave a few % off a 300 4*. Just my opinion though.
I ve been trying the same week as you in KW for weeks now with no luck Resort price I ve bid up to 185 and 3 1/2 star up to 174 with no luck. I ll let you know if things change and they take one of my daily tries and ask you to do the same. best of luck
I ve been to Key West before. An amazing place. In small doses. This is not my choice of dates. I normally know better than to go somewhere in high high season. It is a chunk of time my son could clear from work.
I bid gradually up to the 126. I was bidding 2 nights for quite a while, but decided to experiment with just one night and hit at 126. (A bid for two nights at 126 failed). disneyland hotel california My prior bid was 124 for the one night. I was offered an extension to the second night, but when I pursued it I learned the second night would be 165 plus taxes and fees. Pass.
If others are struggling with a similar situation, disneyland hotel california I learned there is a Best Western back in Florida City that goes for slightly under 100 (and a link to BW from this site under the Support/Travel disneyland hotel california Links tab). I bid a while in the Key Largo area, getting up to 3* 116, 2 1/2* 106 and 2* 101 before I gave up there.
Just back, and thought I d comment on the Caribbean Guest House here since I did stay at it and it is mentioned in this thread, but didn t do it through Priceline bidding so the comments don t belong in the Hotel Reviews area.
On the positive side, the hotel is very clean. An attractive white with pink color scheme outside, including matching Bougainvillea. Marie and the other person working there (missed getting his name) are very cordial and helpful. Free coffee and tea makings disneyland hotel california available in the morning.
Parking was an issue. The hotel offered to reserve one of their 4 spots for me for 10. They have 10 units. I didn t take them up on it right away, and when we got there all 4 parking spots were already reserved. disneyland hotel california We were unsure about the legality of overnight street parking, although we had been able to hunt down a spot several blocks away. The owner pointed out a spot in a nearby empty lot. We used it, but were concerned about the car. Nothing did happen, but it was a worry. I should have taken the offer immediately.
One of the beds is right against a tall window. Single pane glass with blinds in the upper portion, then a window air conditioner and plastic disneyland hotel california panels disneyland hotel california to fill in the rest of the lower space. The air-conditioning unit is noisy, kicking on and off regularly. Also, other guest pass right by outside the window regularly and sometimes stop to converse there. Neither the glass nor the plastic panels block their conversations.

we re going to be there in a few weeks so thank you very much about this fantastic info It seems we should try for a room on the upper floor if that s available, and request a parking spot? Otherwise your description is in line with what we re expecting.

Dominating the room is a massive, mesmerizing yellow Rothko, perhaps the largest he ever painted. A


Like her late billionaire husband, Paul, Rachel "Bunny" Lambert Mellon has always put a premium on privacy, even as some of the world's most public people—including John and Jacqueline Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Charles—flocked to her exquisite Virginia estate. university of california los angeles population With an unprecedented interview (and amid two scandals), the redoubtable Mellon, who turns 100 this month, shares with the author her precious horticultural legacy, fruit of a lifelong passion for gardening.
On the line was Rachel Bunny Lambert Mellon, one of the world s richest, most reclusive, and most elderly persons. Though she will turn 100 on August 9, there were no indications that services would be needed anytime soon. On the contrary, her voice was breezy and cheerful. Even as she approaches centenarian status, and the inevitable, Bunny Mellon continues university of california los angeles population to expect perfection in every detail.
Privacy has long been a priority for her, too, as it was for her late husband, university of california los angeles population billionaire Paul Mellon. [It s] the most valuable asset that money can buy, he wrote at the conclusion of his 1992 memoir, Reflections in a Silver university of california los angeles population Spoon. The only son of financial titan Andrew Mellon, he had the means to purchase plenty of this commodity, along with so much more, and thoroughly enjoy it all. Bunny, whose grandfather Jordan W. Lambert invented Listerine, was loaded, too. Few invitations were as coveted as those to Oak Spring Farms, the Mellons 4,000-acre estate, in Upperville, Virginia. Guests such as John and Jacqueline Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and the scarlet-coated members of the Piedmont Foxhounds found arguably the most understated refinement this country has produced. While the couple collected masterpieces of art on a par with the Medici and bred some of the world s finest Thoroughbred horses, the backdrops were sublimely low-key.
N othing should be noticed was the decree of Bunny, whom Paul credited with crafting all this perfection. Indeed, throughout the second half of the 20th century, Bunny was widely venerated as the epitome of good taste and the true queen of green, thanks to her prowess with gardens, both her own and those she designed for friends such as Hubert de Givenchy and the Kennedys, for whom she did, most notably, the White House Rose Garden.
Since her husband s death, in 1999, at 91, Mellon has rarely been seen. What interest she ever had in society seems to have disappeared. As a result of this and the fact that most of her contemporaries have long since died, she s become unknown or forgotten in many quarters. Yet Mellon has continued to enjoy a remarkably vigorous life at Oak Spring and her other properties.
Having your own airport helps. The amenities on Mellon s farm include a private mile-long runway, which accommodates her Falcon 2000, on which she has frequently commuted among domiciles in Antigua, Paris, New York, Washington, Nantucket, and Osterville, university of california los angeles population on Cape Cod.
And she has not lacked for companionship, though one of her choices in that department many saw as surprising university of california los angeles population and unconventional. Over the past decade, university of california los angeles population she was virtually inseparable from Robert university of california los angeles population Isabell, a Duluth, Minnesota, native who began to decorate parties at Studio university of california los angeles population 54 in the late 70s and became the country s most celebrated event planner. Following his unexpected death, last July, from a heart attack at the age of 57, she buried him at Oak Spring. Mellon s invitation to me to visit the estate was kindly proffered in part so I could visit the grave of Isabell, who had been a friend of mine. (Mellon s acquaintance with Midler also came via Robert.)
While Mellon s manner on the phone was delightfully casual, when I arrive early one April morning her numerous security guards are considerably more serious, though they are stationed in several faux-rustic gatehouses on the property and wear elegant blazers. I am told to follow an S.U.V., which will escort me to Mrs. Mellon s house. As we drive down a good mile of winding university of california los angeles population road, lined with stone and wood fences, a rolling landscape university of california los angeles population unfolds with meticulously pruned university of california los angeles population oaks, willows, and sycamores. After passing an imposing red-brick Georgian-style mansion, we continue past a monumental bronze statue of Sea Hero, Mellon s 1993 Kentucky Derby winner, until we reach a low-lying group of connected whitewashed stone cottages a house which resembles a charming 18th-century French hamlet.
A s I park, the front door opens and out walks Bunny. A well-groomed young woman is trailing her, but Mellon seems miraculously able for a 99-year-old. In dark blue from head to toe, she is wearing a cashmere crewneck sweater, slacks, and tennis shoes; a white Schlumberger cuff flashes from her left wrist. Her reddish hair looks freshly coiffed. I get a warm kiss and she grasps my hand. It s so nice to see you, she says in a high-pitched, honeyed voice that is only slightly shaky from age.
Designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes in 1980, it is comprised of a series of angular whitewashed stone structures, including a tower, set in a rolling field overlooking the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Its main space is a soaring 80-foot-long university of california los angeles population great room with huge windows, including one that doubles university of california los angeles population as a 12-foot-high square door, opening out onto the countryside.
Dominating the room is a massive, mesmerizing yellow Rothko, perhaps university of california los angeles population the largest he ever painted. A long Shaker bench sits just in front of it, almost touching. Simple limed oak cabinets line the rest of the room. Within these lie 3,500 rare historical manuscripts and books, some dating from the 15th century, and 10,000 modern reference works, university of california los angeles population items Bunny began collecting decades ago.
Bunny takes a seat at a round tea table. Tony Willis, university of california los angeles population the affable and learned librarian, who is obviously used to the habits of Mrs., as he calls her, asks if she would like a Coke. She would. (Memo to opponents of the soda tax: Talk to Bunny.)
I notice a shiny volume on the table, The Red Book, a facsimile edition of an illustrated notebook university of california los angeles population Carl Jung kept from 1914 until 1930. Its very recent publication, long suppressed by Jung s heirs, was big news in analytic circles. I observe how au courant Mellon is, and she waves off the compliment. Paul, she says, was analyzed by Jung in Zurich in the 30s.
Personal connections with other legends emerge. The handsome Giacometti bronze sculpture, which rests on a Giacometti table? A present from Diego, who was a dear friend, she recalls. And on the subject of her remarkable longevity, she credits her still-daily sessions of Pilates, which, of course, she first learned from Joseph, the eponymous father of the exercises. When I ask about the Rothko, she recollects the afternoon in the 50s when she wandered by chance into the artist s New York studio, which was close to her house on East 70th Street. I bought 13 of them, she says nonchalantly.
But the greatest treat comes next, when a tour of her garden is offered. Down an arbor of pleached Mary Potter crab-apple trees, behind high stone walls, is a truly enchanted world. Everything is serene, soft, seemingly the essence of artlessness. Yet you quickly realize it is highly controlled every detail is the result of meticulous labor.
While certain weeds the pretty ones, anyway are allowed to sprout up between paving stones, fruit trees and shrubs have been trained to grow into the most extraordinary shapes by Mellon, who must be the high priestess of pruning and pleaching.
Considering her extreme lifelong aversion to press, this seems astounding. Her first and last bona fide interview appeared in The New York Times in 1969, and she submitted herself to it only because, as she told the reporter, she and Paul were tired of reading in the press all sorts of wrong things university of california los angeles population about the way we live.
But, perhaps, with the approach of her 100th birthday, she feels a bit of exposure might not be improper. Her offer is enthusiastically accepted for the following week, but a few hours later she calls again, having reconsidered. I thought I might go to Nantucket next week, and then Cape Cod. Then the horse show starts. Why don t we do this in October?
Mellon s stamina and faith in her longevity are remarkable, but she ultimately responds to pleas that the garden should be photographed at the peak of its spring glory, university of california los angeles population and we agree to shoot it on Memorial Day. The Friday of the holiday weekend, Mellon s name surfaces in the most unlikely place, however, under a front-page headline in The New York Times: adviser to stars named in fraud.
In the account that followed, about the numerous celebrity clients allegedly bilked by Kenneth Starr, the shocker was the revelation that the victim referred to in the criminal complaint as an elderly university of california los angeles population heiress is Mellon. Starr is accused of using $5.75 million of Mellon s money to help buy his condo. Her personal attorney, Alexander Forger, said that Mellon has known Starr for many years and trusted him to manage her investments. In The Wall Street Journal, Forger elaborated: [Mellon] is in a state of shock over the allegations and doesn t know the extent university of california los angeles population of loss.
And this was not the only unwanted press attention Mellon had received in recent months. Earlier, stories had broken that she had been John Edwards s sugar mama during his 2008 presidential campaign, and that a portion of the $6 million she had reportedly given him was funneled, unbeknownst to her, to the candidate s paramour, Rielle Hunter. In his tell-all book, The Politician, Edwards aide Andrew Young offers eccentric details of how the Bunny Money, as the campaign came to call it, had been transferred in order to evade attention. Mellon would send a decorator friend checks hidden in boxes of chocolates that he would then endorse to the campaign. Young goes on to note that these funds were gifts, entirely proper, and not subject to campaign finance laws.
Whatever one s feelings about Edwards, Young makes clear that Mellon s heart was in the right place. Horrified by the imperial rule of Bush and Cheney, she wanted to save the wor

Jacques Lowe became John F Kennedy's presidential campaign photographer in 1960 and, after his elect


What do you do when, as a photographer, you are told your image archive is so precious that it's uninsurable? The answer for Jacques Lowe, whose images helped create the legend of John F Kennedy , was to store them in JP Morgan's seemingly impregnable vault in Tower 5 of New York's World Trade Center. But then 9/11 came, and his life's work went with it.
After the terror attack, Jacques Lowe's daughter, Thomasina, campaigned to try and retrieve her father's archive from the twin tower's rubble before they were razed. Amazingly, the safe in which they were stored was found intact, but the contents – over 40,000 negatives – were reduced to ash. All was not completely lost though, as 1,500 of Lowe's contact sheets were located elsewhere in New York. From these, selected images were painstakingly restored for an exhibition at the Newseum in Washington DC. A collection of prints from the original negatives were also made by the photographer himself, prior to his death four months before 9/11. An exhibition at Proud Chelsea in London is now showcasing these rarities.
Jacques Lowe became metro link los angeles John F Kennedy's presidential campaign photographer in 1960 and, after his election victory over Richard Nixon, became the first family's personal photographer after turning down an official White House photographer role. It was a wise decision to decline the restrictive job on staff in favour of unprecedented access to the family both in and out of Washington. Kennedy's term in office became known as one of the most captivating periods of 20th-century US history, and Lowe was on hand to document what went on behind the scenes. The images are familiar: in one, Kennedy's metro link los angeles brother and campaign manager, Robert, looks decidedly unimpressed by his choice of running mate, Lyndon Johnson.
But most notable are images that show how close Lowe got to Kennedy, such as the shot that captures metro link los angeles the moment when he heard Patrice Lumumba had died. Lowe's 1983 book, Kennedy: A Time Remembered details that moment: "On February 13 1961, United Nations ambassador Adlai Stevenson came on the phone. I was alone with the president; his hand went to his head in utter despair, metro link los angeles 'Oh, no,' I heard him groan. The ambassador was informing the president of the assassination of Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, an African leader considered a trouble-maker and a leftist by many Americans. But Kennedy's attitude towards black Africa was that many who were considered leftists were in fact nationalists and patriots, anti-West because of years of colonialisation, and lured to the siren call of communism against their will. He felt that Africa presented an opportunity metro link los angeles for the West, and, speaking as an American, unhindered by a colonial heritage, he had made friends in Africa and would succeed in gaining the trust of a great many African leaders. The call therefore left him heartbroken, for he knew that the murder would be a prelude to chaos ..."
Disillusioned after Kennedy's 1963 assassination and the further shootings that claimed the lives of Robert Kennedy and Martin metro link los angeles Luther King, the German-born Lowe returned to Europe in 1968. His Kennedy negatives meant so much to him that he bought an extra seat for them on the plane to France. And 33 years later, another aeroplane was to decide metro link los angeles the fate of the images that had defined him as a photographer.

All the women in the series have to sacrifice things, have to accept compromise or societal punishme


With its second season, Matthew Weiner's Mad Men has at last become key west florida vacation packages the show its biggest supporters have always made it out to be. Don't confuse things, I liked the show's first season, but only begrudgingly as it got on. It took some effort to go along to get along, because I often found it underwritten in terms of characters and overwritten in terms of its depiction of life in 1960. I think the line I often kicked around was that its tongue was shoved so hard into its cheek, it must have bruised. The knowing Far From Heaven "girlfriend please" double entendres of the closeted art director, the endless trotting out of new inventions to gawk at, the winks to the camera with each pop culture key west florida vacation packages reference--it was more That '70s Show than I would have liked.
These problems waned as the season wore on and Mad Men got its sea legs, and they are completely gone in Mad Men: Season 2 . The series key west florida vacation packages grows richer, darker, more firmly rooted in its own reality. It's also damn good television, the kind of show you can't turn away from, a pop culture flashpoint that everyone key west florida vacation packages wants to be a part of to such a degree, I am sure somewhere right now, someone who has never seen it is pretending he has just so he doesn't feel left out. "I've got to see that damn show...."
Season 2 jumps ahead a couple of years to 1962. This dispenses with a couple of dangling plot threads--Peggy's key west florida vacation packages baby has been birthed and she's back to work, Duck Phillips is now on staff, and the social change that was barreling down on the Sterling Cooper offices has now fully arrived. One of the writers, Paul Kinsey (Michael Gladis), the fellow with literary aspirations, has grown a goatee and gotten himself an African American girlfriend. Another, Harry Crane (Rich Sommer), is advocating for a TV wing in the agency. Social change, technology, and in between the old and the new is Don Draper, an invented man, a product of the previous age but a perfect candidate to live free in the new one. Which will he choose?
The interesting thing about the Don Draper conundrum is that for as much as progress is alluring to him, he still clings to traditional values. key west florida vacation packages In his work clashes with Duck Phillips (Mark Moses)--a man he helped get hired at the agency, and whose drinking problems will come into play over the course of the season--the fundamental disagreement key west florida vacation packages is over Don's preference for the way things were always done and Duck's urging for Sterling Cooper to go more high risk and pitch for bigger clients. It's a dangerous game, one that could pay off or could toss the men into unknown waters. So, we have the aforementioned TV division, a pair of youth experts brought in to tell the old guard how to appeal to the new generation, and in perhaps the most dramatic example, ditching their long-term small airline client for a much larger one, the onset of new corporate greed introducing the idea of making money out of tragedy.
In the middle of this is Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser), a character annoying by design and played by an actor who is regularly called in to be so (see his run on Angel , for instance). Pete has married into money and is supposed to inherit more, but he's also a man who wants to make something of himself. He's eager to chase Duck into the new frontier, but he's also been chasing Don's approval for the entire series. This psychological key west florida vacation packages failing comes to bear when Pete's father passes away and it turns out he's left his family broke. It's one of several instances key west florida vacation packages where it's discovered that the stalwart men of the previous generation, who are now in charge and still prattle on about WWII, are not as stalwart as they would have us believe. Roger Sterling's marriage crumbles as he chases younger women, including a paid escort and eventually Don's new secretary (you may recall that Roger (the always entertaining John Slattery) dipped into the secretary pool before and had an affair with Joan Holloway, played by the remarkable Christina Hendricks). Bert Cooper (Robert Morse) is growing exceedingly eccentric. Duck is separated from his wife and children. And, of course, there is Don and his many secrets.
For as much as there is an amazing cast of supporting characters, key west florida vacation packages Mad Men is really Don Draper's show. All the complexities hinted at in Season 1 are now being revealed in Season 2. Though Don loves Betty (January Jones) and their life together, though he longs for stability, his soul is that of a wanderer. As was revealed at the end of the initial season, Don adopted the identity of a man he served with in Korea, and he used the new name to get away from a life that had begun in transience. He isn't exactly rootless, but the roots he does have are self-made key west florida vacation packages and thus tenuous. His eye wanders from Betty to new women. Having lost both of his lovers in Season key west florida vacation packages 1, he now looks at Bobbie (Melinda McGraw), the reckless wife of insult comedian Jimmy Barrett (Patrick Fischler), the pitchman on a potato chip account run by Sterling Cooper. Don is at first attracted to how ballsy Bobbie is. She can play and drink with the best of the boys, and her history of self-invention makes Don see a kindred spirit; that same independence quickly causes the tryst to sour, however, and Don is ready to end it. This has massive repercussions in Don's life.
First, the end of the affair key west florida vacation packages forces Don to face his actions. Jimmy is aware of what has gone on, and he does not believe that Don should be able to walk away clean. More important, though, is when Bobbie reveals key west florida vacation packages that the reputation Don has earned key west florida vacation packages does not entirely match the one he believes himself to have. The broken connections, remaining oblique and avoiding any significant revelations, these things start to add up. For as much as Don has tried to remain aloof, a new being--an untrustworthy, reckless one--has emerged. Bobbie's rejection forces Don to face himself, and it opens up dark, sometimes violent places. This is compounded when Betty kicks him out of the house. A trip to California gives way to a journey toward finding himself, sampling a truly groundless life and also exploring the bridges between key west florida vacation packages his true past and his invented present.
It's going to be interesting to continue to watch Jon Hamm develop as a known actor. His recent stint on 30 Rock played with the idea that he was just a handsome shell without much going on behind it, but Hamm's portrayal of Draper brings the very fine writing to life in complex and fascinating ways. We've been staring into his blank expression for two seasons now, and the longer key west florida vacation packages we look, the more that emerges. The expressions are not blank at all; look close, and you will see subtle images of a man that runs deep. In this way, Jon Hamm, who wasn't a known quantity before key west florida vacation packages Mad Men , is revealing himself as a performer a the same time he reveals more of Don Draper. It's a difficult role, full of tricky maneuvers. Don is not always a nice guy, but we have to always want to watch him and even kind of love him for being bad, the way we previously loved James Gandolfini key west florida vacation packages as Tony Soprano or enjoy Larry David's curmudgeonly rants. Try not to side with Don against Betty. Try not to be a little electrified when Don pushes Bobbie against a wall and threatens her. Try not to smirk when he verbally cuts Pete down. You'll find all these challenges pretty difficult.
Though key west florida vacation packages Don ends up being the center of attention in terms of the males on Mad Men , the female cast is much more varied and far more integral to the writing than simply being possible love interests for Draper. In real life, the movement for gender equality was starting to foment. We see it in the office with the career efforts of Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) and Joan. Peggy has pushed her way into the boy's club, becoming a copywriter, and as we will discover, had to make the classic sacrifice expected of women throughout time. In order to have more than the cliché, she has to give up the cliché; the baby she was about to have at the end of Season 1 has been taken away from her and given to her sister and mother. Peggy struggles as a single girl, forced to keep quiet when slighted, key west florida vacation packages to accept the attempts to pigeonhole her into only working on women's accounts. She also struggles with the way organized religion perceives her, becoming the focus of a conflicted young priest (Colin Hanks) whose efforts to help her are as much about helping himself.
Joan, a potent force of nature whose position as office manager--what key west florida vacation packages the boys call "head secretary"--has allowed her to control pretty much the entire office, finds her own speed bumps on the road to success. Her failed affair with Roger Sterling is one of a string of failed affairs, key west florida vacation packages and its collapse and Joan's dismissal from Roger's bedroom could be seen as a woman being punished for knowing her own sexual powers. It's like her mother probably key west florida vacation packages warned her, men don't take girls like her home to their own mothers. In Season 2, she is engaged to a doctor, but even he only accepts her as something to possess, to control. When she takes on extra work reading TV scripts to find the right programs to advertise on, he dismisses her ambition as silly. His personal subjugation of Joan takes an even darker turn near the tail end of the season. It's one of the more painful, haunting key west florida vacation packages moments in both seasons, and all the more painful for the sense we get that this is not the first time things have gone so wrong for her. The silent stare, the unspoken pain--Christina Hendricks' performance will break your heart. Again, like Don, Joan is a character whose ruthlessness arguably deserves some comeuppance, but the charisma of the actor woos us to her side; granted, she suffers an extreme punishment no one deserves, but even earlier, when she loses ground in the office to Jane (Peyton List), we'd rather see Jane defeated and Joan victorious.

(born July 28, 1929, Southampton, N.Y., U.S.died May 19, 1994, New York, N.Y.) U.S. first lady, socialite, and editor. After graduating from George Washington University in 1951 she took a job as a reporter-photographer at the Washington Times-Herald . In 1953 she married Sen. John F. Kennedy , who became president in 1961. As first lady , she restored the White House to its original Federal style and conducted a televised tour of the residence. Her graciousness, elegance, and beauty endeared her to the American public, and her broad culture and ease in speaking Spanish and French impressed foreign leaders. After her husband's assassination in 1963 she moved to New York with their children, Caroline (b. 1957) and John, Jr. (196099). In 1968 she married Aristotle Onassis . After his death in 1975, she returned to New York, where she became a book editor.
An internationally famous First Lady, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (1929-1994) raised her two children after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. After a seven-year remarriage she turned to a career as a book editor.
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was born on July 28, 1929. Her mother was Janet Lee Bouvier, and her father, though named John Vernon Bouvier III, was known by all as Black Jack. Her sister Caroline Lee (who was called Lee) was born four years later. chicago cubs tickets online Jackie was a headstrong child who was initially a discipline problem at Miss Chapin's, the fashionable school on Manhattan's east side that she attended chicago cubs tickets online as a young girl.
Janet and Black Jack had a troubled marriage and they separated in 1936. They reconciled briefly in 1937 but were divorced in 1940. Jackie lived with her mother, though she did see her beloved father frequently. In 1942 Janet married Hugh Dubley Auchincloss, Jr., who was a lawyer from a prestigious old family. The Auchinclosses were much wealthier than the Bouviers, and Jackie and Lee lived with their mother and her new husband. The Auchinclosses had two more children, Janet, Jr., who was born in 1945, and Jamie, who was born in 1947.
The mother's remarriage created a rift in the family. Though Jackie adored her father, chicago cubs tickets online she saw less and less of him, particularly since her mother and stepfather moved their family to Washington, D.C. The summers were spent at the Auchincloss home, Hammersmith Farm, in Newport, Rhode Island. In 1944 Jackie was sent to boarding school at Miss Porter's chicago cubs tickets online in Farmington, Connecticut.
Jackie was a beautiful and elegant young woman, and when she made her social debut the Hearst newspaper gossip columnist named her Debutante of 1947. Jackie went on to college at Vassar, where she seemed embarrassed by the notoriety chicago cubs tickets online attached to her social success. She was a serious student who worked hard and made the dean's list. She spent her junior year abroad in Paris, which she loved.
Jackie returned to the United States and finished college at George Washington University chicago cubs tickets online in Washington, D.C. She entered a writing contest sponsored by Vogue magazine called the "Prix de Paris," which she won. The winner was to receive a year-long position as a trainee at Vogue, spending six months in their New York office and six months in the Paris office. Jackie's parents, especially her stepfather, felt that she had spent a long time in Europe already, and they were concerned that if she took the job she would not return to the United States. At their request Jackie turned down the offer and went to work instead at the Washington Times-Herald newspaper as a photographer.
In 1951 Jackie met John Fitzgerald Kennedy for the first time. The next year Kennedy was elected senator from Massachusetts and moved to Washington. The two continued to see each other and became engaged in June 1953. On September 12, 1953, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier married John Fitzgerald Kennedy at an enormous wedding that was the social event of the season. There were 1,300 guests at the reception. The only event that marred the wedding for the bride was the fact that her father, who had become an alcoholic, was incapable of escorting her down the aisle or even of attending the wedding.
Jackie Kennedy was a shy, private woman with little chicago cubs tickets online experience in politics or knowledge of politicians, but she was a help to her husband in many ways. She worked with him on his public speaking, helping to develop the charismatic style for which he would become so famous. In 1954 Kennedy had surgery to try to alleviate the constant pain he suffered from a back injury. Jackie spent the recovery period by his side.
In 1956 there was speculation that John Kennedy would be the Democratic vice presidential nominee. Many members of the Kennedy family attended the convention, which was an exciting and exhausting one. Jackie was there to lend her support, despite the fact that she was seven months pregnant. chicago cubs tickets online Though Jack Kennedy gave a speech nominating Adlai Stevenson as the Democratic candidate for president, Estes Kefauver was selected as the vice presidential candidate.
On August 23, soon after her husband had left for a short vacation, Jackie went into premature labor . The baby was stillborn , and it was Jackie's brother-in-law Bobby Kennedy who consoled her and made the arrangements for the baby's burial.
In 1957 Jackie suffered another loss when her father died. This was also a difficult chicago cubs tickets online period in the Kennedy marriage. Much was rumored at the time and has been written subsequently about the various extramarital affairs that John Kennedy had both before and during his presidency, all of which undoubtedly put a strain on his and Jackie's marriage.
On November 27, 1957, Caroline Bouvier Kennedy was born. Just months after Caroline's birth her father was up for reelection as senator from Massachusetts, and Jackie was active in the 1958 senatorial campaign as well.
Soon after Kennedy was returned to Washington by his constituents he began to seek the presidential nomination. Jackie campaigned vigorously for her husband until she became pregnant in 1960, and even afterwards continued to help as much as she was physically able until the birth of her son John Jr.
As soon as John Kennedy was elected president, Jackie began working to reorganize the White House so that she could turn it into a home for her children and protect their privacy. At the same time she was well aware of the importance of the White House as a public institution. She formed the White House Historical Association to help her with the task of redecorating the building. She also formed a Special Committee for White House Paintings to further advise her. While as a mother Jackie was interested in protecting her children, as First Lady she felt strongly that the White House was a national monument. She wrote the forward to The White House: A Historical Guide. She also developed the idea of a filmed tour of the White House that she would conduct. The tour was broadcast on Valentine's Day 1962 and was eventually distributed to 106 countries.
In November of 1963 Jackie Kennedy accompanied her husband on a trip to Texas. She was riding by his side when he was assassinated. In the days that followed chicago cubs tickets online John Kennedy's death the image of his widow and children, and the dignity with which they conducted themselves, were very much a part of the nation's experience of mourning and loss. Jackie became an icon and a symbol.
In the years immediately after her husband's death Jackie Kennedy chicago cubs tickets online was seen very much in the role of his widow, while at the same time there was constant speculation about whether or not she would remarry . Jackie was actively involved in Bobby Kennedy's bid for election as president in 1968. After his assassination in June 1968 she was again a prominent figure at a very public funeral.
In October 1968 Jackie chicago cubs tickets online Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis , a Greek shipping magnate . He was 62 and she was 39. Jackie spent large portions of her time in New York to be with her children. chicago cubs tickets online As the years went by, the Onassis marriage was rumored to be a difficult one, and the couple began to spend most of their time apart. Aristotle Onassis died in 1975 and, widowed for a second time, Jackie returned permanently to New York.
In 1975 she began working as a book editor chicago cubs tickets online at Viking amidst chicago cubs tickets online much speculation about whether or not she would be able to get along with her fellow workers, or if her very presence would make it difficult for the office to function. She quickly adapted to her new job and remained at Viking until she resigned in 1977. In 1978 she took a job as an associate editor at Doubleday chicago cubs tickets online Publishing where she continued to work into the 1990s. In 1982 she was promoted to full editor and later became a senior editor.
In 1994 Jackie Kennedy made public the information that she was being treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and that her condition was responding well to therapy. However, the disease proved fatal on May 19, 1994. She is buried next to John F. Kennedy in Arlington National Cemetary.
There are several chicago cubs tickets online biographies of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, including Jackie by Illie Frishauer chicago cubs tickets online (1976), Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy chicago cubs tickets online Onassis chicago cubs tickets online by Stephen Birmingham (1978), Jackie Oh! by Kitty Kelly (1978), and A Woman Named Jackie by C. David Heymann (1989).
• Born: July 28, 1929, Southampton , N.Y. • Wife of John F. Kennedy, 35th President • Died: May 19, 1994, New York, New York Jackie Bouvier came from a wealthy, socially prominent family and was educated in private schools. She attended Vassar College and graduated from George chicago cubs tickets online Washington University in 1951. She became a photographer and columnist for the Washington Times-Herald until she married Senator John F. Kennedy in 1953. They had two children (another died in infancy), Caroline and John, Jr. As First Lady, Jackie Kennedy became an international celebrity. Her beauty and her sense of fashion set the style for the New Frontier, for the capital, and for much of the nation. Her husband once said admiringly, "I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris."

Well, I guess you're simply aaron tours travel reservations trying to prove that you did a good job and produced a reliable engine, powered well enough to be registered as a record.

Late last night we flew into Las Vegas, Nevada to begin our self-guided tour of several national parks in the southwestern part of the U.S.  Jeff had made a one-night reservation for us at the Four Seasons Hotel because it was advertised as a quiet, no-casino, no glitz, centrally located hotel.  It was actually located on the top five floors of the Mandalay Bay Hotel which had lots of glitz, twenty-two restaurants, many shops, and a 135,000 square foot casino.
The lobby of the Four Seasons was quiet, peaceful, and tastefully decorated.  This morning, we went downstairs to explore Mandalay Bay.  It was crowded with lots of people and loud music was everywhere.  We discovered that the casino was empty at 8:00 o clock in the morning.  We had breakfast at Raffles and took a walk outside.
Afterwards, we checked out and retrieved our rental car and drove down the famous Strip to see the other hotels.  Las Vegas is an amazing city with an incredible number of huge hotels and gambling establishments.

You do know that it will be very hot? You might want to think about spending your 2 additional night


We're four adults and three 15-year-olds going on a hiking/biking trip to Bryce and Zion for a little over a week towards the end of August. We will have two nights to stay in St. George before we return home from St. George Airport.
Any suggestions on where we should stay? A place that has a nice view, and offers spa treatments would really appeal aruba travel advisories to the adults, and the teens would be happy just to have a pool. Should we go to Tuacahn to see a performance?
We do an annual getaway to Red Mountain Spa and Resort in St. George. We love it. They have guided hikes in the morning, fitness and health classes, cooking demonstrations, a lovely spa with a wide array of treatments (recently featured in Sunset magazine), a pool, bikes to borrow, and fun activities. The dining is buffet aruba travel advisories style for breakfast and lunch and menus for dinner. You can select a signature package which includes the hiking, most classes and meals. Special classes such as photography and the spa treatments are extra.
You do know that it will be very hot? You might want to think about spending your 2 additional nights at a higher altitude. Even Capitol Reef is cooler than St. George in August. If you are just going to relax by the pool, maybe the temps won't be a problem.
Capitol Reef would take you further north in UT, so don't know if you are interested in that. The drive from Bryce to Torrey (near Capitol Reef Natl Park) on Hwy. 12 is one of the most beautiful and jaw-dropping drives in the world.

Gee s discretionary spending greatly exceeds his OSU predecessors but is more in line with similarly


The university spends tens of thousands of dollars alone branding Gee around his signature bow ties. Since 2007, Ohio State has spent more than $64,000 on bow ties, bow tie cookies and O-H and bow tie pins for Gee and others to distribute, the newspaper found.
The report lists Gee as the highest paid CEO of a public university in the county, bringing in $8.6 million in salary and compensation but also generating $7.7 million in expenses/spending on the university s tab.
When he travels, Gee is bound by university policy, which says: "The President is expected to stay in accommodations similar to those used by executives of businesses car rental agencies in malaga spain and not-for-profit institutions; however, luxury hotels should be avoided."
The Daily News investigation found that Gee often stays at modest hotels such as Courtyard and Holiday Inn Express when traveling in-state. But his out-of-state travel receipts car rental agencies in malaga spain shows he often bills the university for more expensive accommodations: Le Meridien Bristol in Warsaw, The Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, Loews Hotel Vogue in Montreal, Hotel George and the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C., and the Warwick car rental agencies in malaga spain in New York.
Gee s discretionary spending greatly exceeds his OSU predecessors but is more in line with similarly sized state universities such as the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Michigan.
car rental agencies in malaga spain Gee was cast into the college sports spotlight for his involvement car rental agencies in malaga spain and response to the NCAA s investigation into a pattern of violations under Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel. OSU eventually severed car rental agencies in malaga spain ties with Tressel while Gee declared reports by Sports Illustrated and Sporting News to be bad journalism. Gee later admitted that he needed to keep his mouth shut after creating controversy comparing TCU and Boise State to the Little Sisters of the Poor in regard to their then non-BCS standing.
I guess Gee thinks he can con people into believing that academically-mediocre OSU is somehow an Ivy League school.    There is nothing done at OSU that doesn't reap of corruption, and the stupid thing is that they would be an athletic (NOT academic) powerhouse without doing any cheating, bending the rules, overspending, allowing athletes to skip classes, etc.    It is a typical BIG state jock factory school, and I guess that's what the people of Ohio want, but Gee and AD Gene Smith (not to mention Tressel) hardly represent the "best" of anything!   The guy with real character - Earle Bruce - was run out of town for "not winning enough" and that tells you all you need to know.   Damn the rules, just win baby!!!!
Gee needs a lesson in humility. If he really cared about the students sooooo much, he would pour some of that limo money and luxury hotel money into more scholarship funds or building improvements! Have y'all even SEEN the state of our music building, or some of the old dorms? He's not so wonderful that he can't take a taxi, stay in a Courtyard Inn, or go without a few bowties. Also, he has a $532 shower curtain car rental agencies in malaga spain in his mansion. car rental agencies in malaga spain 1%er all the way!
The blog above doesn't tell the whole story.  The spending car rental agencies in malaga spain is high, but, since 2007 he's been there he's raised $1.6 Billion for the university.  He can have all the bow ties he wants for that kind of return to the endowment.   So what if he's racked up $20 million in salary and expenses if the result is 80 to 1 return.
i hired an attorney to represent me in a divorce. He showed up to court wearing a bow tie. I fired him on the spot. The attorney asked why, "I associate anyone who wears a bow tie, with that of a clown." car rental agencies in malaga spain See Gorden car rental agencies in malaga spain Gee, I rest my case.
A football player found an old piano necktie on the ground and picked it up.  Gee immediately ran over and offered the athlete $64K for the accessory.  Given it was the result of standard commerce, car rental agencies in malaga spain the NCAA ruled it was legal and the student eligible for play.
This is very typical (and acceptable) behavior for a university president who is also the school's best-known car rental agencies in malaga spain development officer.  He may have generated $7.7MM in expenses, but he has brought in much, much more, allowing university programs to continue to flourish, especially in this time of state budget cuts.  It goes back to the old saying: sometimes you have to spend a little to get a little. Or in OSU's case, get a lot.
@ Joseph8 He raised $1.6 Billion? And how much of that was earned by him actually directly soliciting those funds? How much of it was given by people who WOULD'VE donated anyway, like alumni? Heck, maybe the alumni would donate even more if we could prove to them we'd use the money responsibly.
@ mobetta    @ MerLevine  Exaggerate much? SO the guy made a few statements in support of his employer. Perhaps embarrassing, but I doubt the man is principally a 'hypocritical blowhard'...at least you cant get that from media reports...

I was in Washington, DC, with my family and a contingent of about 200 students and supporters of the State of Michigan "We The People" champions from East Grand Rapids high school on this epic evening in American history. We were in a celebratory mood as we just found out that the team made the Top Ten finals slated for Monday morning in one of the historic hearing rooms in Capitol Hill. A goal that has been in the minds of the team members since September when they embarked on this journey.
Elena and I were at Clyde's in Georgetown with close friends and fellow "We The People" parents, Frank and Susan Merlotti and Dick and Deb VanderZyden, when the news of Osama Bin Laden's death captured the emotions of many Americans glued to the tube and cell phones upon receiving word of his demise.
It was Frank that suggested that we should head to the White House to join the gathering of jubilant supporters. cheap one way plane tickets So between text messages and phone calls to everyone on our address book, we headed to the White House gates to partake in the celebration, only to be swept away by the emotion and patriotic symbolism cheap one way plane tickets of the this moment in history.
Travel brings in many discoveries and on this evening in the capital, we discovered the pride of the American people is alive and well. Here's a salute to the many men and women who fought and continue to fight for our freedom in this great nation and to the thousands of people who lost loved ones on 9/11. USA!
