The word fado means fate, and, like the blues, fado songs are full
of fatalism. The image of a black-shawled fadista, head thrown
back, eyes closed with emotion, voice rising and falling with
soulful song, is quintessentially Portuguese. Many casas de fado
are also restaurants; some offer a mix of fado and folk-dancing
shows.

Suzanne's extensive experience as a Vice-President of Merchandising
for a large regional retailer created the desire to continue her
passion for retail with her own company. Her love of Lexi gave her
the inspiration for LexiDog; a place where dogs are our children
who deserve to be a little spoiled, as well as a 'social' place
where parents could bring their dog to a fun, loving and safe
daycare while they were at work, and enjoy 'social' activities
centered around their pet.

Don't talk during the solo, and don't stare at the singer; most
people look at the floor. Buy the musicians a drink if it's a small

I really liked staying at the Sylvia Beach hotel, but my man wasn't

book lovers, and its proximity to the ocean and Historic Nye Beach.
Staying there is literally like stepping back in time with no
blaring radios, TV, computers (three of the reasons my man didn't
like it...he's a gadget addict). However, if one seeks peace and
quiet, then the Sylvia Beach Hotel really and truly is relaxing
place to get away from it all. The place is definitely geared

To me, a trip to Newport just isn't complete without going to Mo's
for their chowder. It is the best. However, they also make other
very good seafood dishes as well. I highly recommend the grilled
salmon. The desserts are very tasty as well. Mind you, the lines
can be quite long but if you get to the place at the right time
(which varies) you can get seated right away. The decor is
something of a mish-mash but very interesting. If you're in the
main place vs the annex, check out the garage door...there is a
very interesting story behind it. Just ask any of the waitstaff.

Food is excellent! Beer also is $3 for anything, also has specials
on cocktails/well drinks. We will definatley go back to this place!

We booked the Westin through pova.com and received a great package.
On arrival at the hotel we where greated by the doorman and our
vehicle was quickly attended to by the valet. Check-in was friendly
and we where invited to participate in the happy hour in the
lounge. Our room was very nice, not a large room but very clean
with nice furniture and a very comfy bed. The bathroom was the best
we have ever had in a hotel, very large, marble, separate shower
with a double head and a huge bath! We had appertizers in the bar
& grill which where amazing value starting from just $4 for
Calamari. We had breakfast in the mornings in the grill which was
superb! Huge portions and very tasty. Our package included free
valet parking and free breakfast. These two things are not cheap if

The veteran British DJ, who spent the last four decades bringing
world music to a wider audience, has died at 68. The Guardian notes
his impact on the globalized music scene: His discoveries were
numerous, from Johnnie Allen’s Cajun version of Chuck
Berry’s Promised Land in the early 1970s, through Youssou
N’Dour and Salif Keita to Mariza, the young singer of
Portuguese fado music who went from appearances on Charlie’s
show in 2001 to sellout concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Throughout the last decade he compiled CD anthologies, presenting
the best of new music from around the world. (Thanks for the tip,
Frank.)
