"We enter projects every year but don't always have a winner. It's still a wonderful experience for the students."
"The Medicare drug benefit is a potentially important benefit for many of our most vulnerable Americans, particularly patients with low incomes, who are in poor health. It will be important to monitor whether low-income nursing home residents qualify for premium and cost-sharing subsidies."
"Courses typically set their event schedule early in the year ... so calling the fall of the prior year or at least at the first of the year is important for any event, especially if it will be large and will close off the course. Almost all courses have a tournament package ... and some have sales directors to walk you through the process if they do lots of them. For most clubs, you'll go to the head pro."

If you're looking for anime similar to Kanokon, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
Since long ago, the wolf goddess Holo has honored a contract to bless the rural village of Pasloe with fertile harvests; and in return she has been celebrated and worshipped by the villagers. But as mankind advances, the people have begun to take command of nature for themselves and have made their own god to worship. Holo finds that she is paid little more than lip service, if not outright mocked; and considering the contract annulled, she takes human form and enlists the aid of a passing merchant, Kraft Lawrence, to return to her home in the snowy forests to the north. As they journey together, Kraft finds that he has plenty to learn from this capricious god, and she from him as well.
In both of these shows u have an animal girl as the main charter. In Spice and Wolf, Horo is a 600 year old wolf that looks 15 years old. While in Kanokon, Chizuru is a 400 year old blond fox spirit that appears to look human. The shows have differnt settings, S&W seting is a traveling mechant who meets Horo, a rowdy girl who loves to drink with a stong personality. Kanokon seting is Chizuru who finds a boy she realy likes at the highschool and she always puts him in sexuwal situations that are always uncomfortable for him. Both of these shows are good for unquieness of main charters and how there lives changes when they are with each other and the challengs they go though together. So give these shows a try u might just like them.
It's time for the Sexy Appeal Battle, and many of the Ladies Versus Butlers cast are ready for some skin-baring, breast jiggling action. Sanae, Kaoru, Ayse, Hedyeh, Pina and the other girls bear their backsides, press their mammaries against glass (and each other), lay provocatively across tables and raise the ecchi bar to the max in hopes of winning each battle, a boisterous crowd cheering them on in the background.
1 votes
Both Kanokon and LVB Specials are filled with excessive, over the top ecchi that will appeal only to hardcore perverts.
During the 5th grade summer break, the trio of Usa, Kuro, and Kokonoe accompany Aoki-sensei and Hōin-sensei to Aoki's hometown where they meet up with his younger sister Chika. This side story follows the group as they spend several days of their vacation by the sea.

Both have fanservice, a plot involving love interests and somewhat timid male characters. This also includes other love interests other than the primary female character for both series.
Ten years ago, Senpeita Kobayashi fell in love with the girl of his dreams; she left his life, but promised that in ten years she'd see him again and become his bride. Fast forward to the present, and Senpeita is a typical student attending Akebono Academy. That is, until the wide-eyed tiny robot Kemeko crash lands in his bedroom and proclaims herself to be Senpeita's new bride! As if things aren't strange enough, Senpeita soon discovers that inside Kemeko is a beautiful girl – a girl who has an uncanny resemblance to his lost love! All Senpeita wants is to be a normal boy, but now he must keep himself out of the way of flying fists, raging jealousies, and battles between Kemeko and Mishina – a global corporation that has a vested and dangerous interest in Senpeita!
1 votes
Both of these anime's are very much so Ecchi and contain the male protagonist caught between two woman fighting for his affection. In amongst all of this the male leads are trying to focus on school (work or just trying to be normal).
Ever since Tomoki was a boy, he's dreamed that the girl he loves vanishes into the sky. However, while he's convinced it's just a dream, his classmate Sugata is convinced that it's related to an alleged 'new continent' that's floating around the planet. According to Sugata's calculations it's set to pass above their town at midnight, and sends Tomoki to check it out. Little did Tomoki know that at that moment, a scantily-clad angel would fall from the sky! Calling herself a pet-class Angeloid named Ikaros, she promises to fulfill Tomoki's every wish. Now, Tomoki is able to manipulate panties and do equally as perverted things with ease; but what is Ikaros really here for, and are her motives as pure as they seem?
1 votes
Both these titles are wrapped up in Ecchi and humour. Although Kanokon is more 'tame' than Sora no Otoshimono both are somewhat of a fantasy/sci-fi type romances. They both show different sides of their story, with Sora no Otoshimono having an aggressive (trying to get girls) protagonist and Kanokon having the passive (trying to be won over) protagonist.

This can all be quite complicated, really. Whew. It's good to know that people do do this though. The banks that ship to Canada are limited, I think there are only three. But, we've found a few donors we like, so that's a good start. We've recently moved waaaaay north and quite remote, and the details are a little more complicated now. Much as I hate the idea, i think this may be on hold for a bit. Maybe at least until I find someone here who is comfortable with a speculum and catheter. I have recently developed hostile cervical mucous (figures!) and am attacking it with epo, but I think our odds would be increased if we did an at home IUI. I would do it on myself if I could manage the spec on myself, but, alas, that skill is somewhat beyond me. I could talk someone through it, but not dh. He would faint. Or vomit. If I could even get him to try it in the first place. Oh dear. I'd still love to talk to a Canadian who has done this, even more so if they're done this in either Ontario of the Northwest Territories.
Merry Christmas! Katia |

Filling out the high-end range
Corsair's branching out into PSU retailing has, in hindsight, been a good move. Debuting with the HX range back in 2006, Corsair's current catalogue numbers seven different series that span from 350W-1,200W capacities, often with overlapping wattages present in different families.
The newest member is the RM Series, released a couple of weeks ago. The all-new RM sits third in the PSU hierarchy behind the AX(i) and HX models. But third doesn't mean bronze, literally, as the RM, available in capacities from 450W to 1,000W is rated at 80 PLUS Gold, uses fully-modular cabling and has a zero-fan mode at low loads. In effect, then, it takes some of the good bits out of other Corsair supplies and amalgamates them into one new model.
Corsair says RM is optimised for silence, backing up the assertion with knowledge that the 135mm fan isn't activated until 40 per cent load, based on an ambient 25°C room temperature. Even when it does kick in, the company informs us, the fan is markedly quieter than rival solutions.
We have the 750W version in for review today, available right now for £99. Measuring a standard 180mm (d) x 150mm (w) x 86mm (h), the styling is typically understated Corsair. The metal chassis and grille design are familiar, though the grey fan colour juxtaposes against the all-black exterior. Build quality is very solid; there are no squeaks or rattles and the unit is well put together.
The left-hand connector hooks up to an optional Link interface, pioneered by Corsair to provide real-time feedback via on-screen GUIs. Link hasn't been the success that the company had hoped, but the relevant cabling is included in the bundle.
Peripheral connections are arguably more important. The ATX connector, split on the PSU side, takes a complete row, while PCIe (graphics) and 4+4-pin CPU populate the space underneath. Two 8-pin PCIe give rise to four 6+2-pin connectors on the graphics side, which is enough to power a couple of GeForce GTX Titans without issue.
Four SATA/Molex/floppy runs can supply up to 17 connectors (8/7/2, respectively) meaning Corsair has a good balance between capacity and connections.
Cables | Cables, type, length, plugs on cable | |||||||
Main | 20+4-pin (60cm) | |||||||
ATX/EPS | P4+P4 (65cm) | PCIe 1 | 2x 6+2-pin (60cm-75cm) | |||||
PCIe 2 | 2x 6+2-pin (60cm-75cm) | |||||||
Peripheral 1 | 4x SATA (70cm) | |||||||
Peripheral 2 | 4x SATA (70cm) | |||||||
Peripheral 3 | 4x Molex (75cm) + 1 floppy | Peripheral 4 | 3x Molex (75cm) + 1 floppy | |||||
You can use every single cable and connector by populating all slots on the PSU. You lose a Molex if a floppy is required, though we don't imagine this will apply to many users. The cables are nice and flat and therefore relatively easy to massage through the usual cutouts found in modern chassis.
Amps/watts and voltage |
Rail amps |
Maximum rating |
Maximum rating continuous |
750W @ 40°C ambient |
Power delivery is standard for a supply of this ilk. 12V power is crucial when running overclocked CPUs and graphics cards and Corsair is able to shunt the entire 750W of continuous power, at up to 40°C ambient temperature, down the single-rail 12V line if needs be.
Opening her up reveals no unexpected surprises. Corsair has three platforms for different-wattage models. The one above is also shared by the 850W version. Modern supply design grabs the output for the minor lines - 3.3V and 5V - by tapping into the 12V, and Corsair has done just that here. Filtering is good, as are the heatsink-covered bridge rectifiers and MOSFETs.
Corsair uses Japanese-made, 105°C-rated main hold-up and secondary capacitors, which is good news, and the 80 PLUS Gold certification means that there isn't a great deal of heat produced when converting AC to PC-friendly DC, enabling the RM750 to be equipped with a quiet fan that, at most times, doesn't even switch on until 300W or so is being pulled from the wall.
Backed by a five-year warranty and, on first inspection, striking a nice balance between features, performance and cost, can the numbers reinforce the RM750's appeal?

Terrell Owens to Sign With The Bengals
Terrell Owens has another team to play for.
Terrell Owens has agreed on a one-year, $2 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals that includes a another $2million in incentives.
Owens spent last season with the Buffalo Bills. He caught 55 passes for 829 yards and hauled in five touchdowns as the Bills finished the season 6-10.
The St. Louis Rams dropped out of the bidding for Owens on Monday.
All of Owens' career stop, excluding Buffalo, have ended in controversy. In San Francisco, Owens ridiculed then-49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia in a magazine interview in 2004.

Emmanuel Adebayor fears an Aston Villa chiller
EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR has warned that Tottenham's historic win at Old Trafford last weekend will count for nothing against Aston Villa today.
If we lose against Villa there is no more joy in winning at United
But hitman Adebayor says there is no room for complacency despite the growing sense of belief around White Hart Lane that the talk of an early-season crisis is over.
Anything less than three points this afternoon and the fit-again Togo ace fears they will be back at square one.
Adebayor, 28, said: "After the United game people will be expecting us to beat Villa at home.
"But I always say that whatever you achieve is already behind you. It's already gone. The most important thing is what you are going to achieve next.
"Winning at Old Trafford is something special and everyone was happy. But now we must forget it because if we lose against Villa there is no more joy in winning at United.
"We just have to keep on believing that we can achieve our aim, which is to finish in the top three."
Ironically, should his team-mates take that message on board and put struggling Villa to the sword, Adebayor is likely to have to spend more time kicking his heels on the bench.
He concedes the fi rst month of his second spell at Spurs, following his permanent £5million summer switch from Manchester City, has been far from ideal. But having recovered from a niggling hamstring problem, the club's top scorer last season with 18 goals is desperate to get back into the thick of the action as soon as possible.
That will be easier said than done, though, with both in-form Jermain Defoe and new signing Clint Dempsey seemingly ahead in AVB's pecking order.
The ex-Arsenal man said: "Jermain is on fire at the moment and Clint is an unbelievable player. I am happy to be here – you just have to fight for what you want to achieve.
"The season started six or seven weeks ago but for me it starts on Sunday. As a footballer you have to be ready for when you have the chance to play. I have been injured but now I am back."

Hi Roy, thanks for the comment. I did some searching on the Internet and found that this frog is the common greenback, a very common frog along SE Asia. You can read more about it here.

One of the advantages of self-publishing is that you maintain total control of the content in your book, you are the owner and the director. And as such, it is your responsibility to supply us with the ideas and concepts for your illustrations. No one knows your story and its characters and settings better than you. If you have questions about the RAD form, please contact your Illustration Coordinator for assistance.
Back to Top
Your Illustration Coordinator handles all communication surrounding your illustration project and acts as a liaison between you and your illustrator.
It all depends on the length of the manuscript. A more effective way for the illustrator to reference a manuscript with more than 3,000 words is for the you to highlight or pull excerpts from your manuscript for the illustrator to use as a resource for creating the art.
Company policy dictates that all changes to illustrations must be submitted in writing. We accept written changes through email, attachments via email, by fax, or through traditional mail. These should be addressed and sent directly to your Illustration Coordinator.
1) Once we receive your completed RAD form, it is reviewed by the Art Director and assigned to the artist who best fits your project parameters.2) Within two to three weeks, you will receive copies of your initial sketches for your review. (This is the best time to make revisions to your illustrations.)3) If you request revisions to sketches, your project is put back into a queue in the order it was received and will take two weeks for completion. (You are limited to two rounds of complimentary revisions at sketch stage.) Sketch revisions are limited, depending on the complexity and time required to make such changes. For example, changing the length of a character's hair or adding or deleting a character or item in a scene constitutes reasonable sketch revisions. Starting over with a completely new concept does not, and is considered a brand new illustration, and you will incur a one-hour charge to completely create an entirely new sketch. 4) Once we receive your approval to go to final art, it will then take approximately four weeks to complete your final illustrations.5) You will then receive copies of your completed illustrations for review. You will be required to sign an approval form for us to move you on to book production. (You are limited to one round of complimentary color revisions at final art stage.) If you want to make revisions to final art beyond color modifications, you will incur additional charges to make those changes or may be required to purchase a completely new illustration. We reserve the right to make that determination based on your requested changes.
On average, your illustration project will be completed in six to 12 weeks. However, more time may be needed as deemed necessary by the artist, Art Director, and/or you, and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Creating custom artwork can be a very complex and time-consuming process and we want to ensure that the end product is of the highest quality for our authors.
The illustration process is separate from the production of the galley and cover, and those stages will begin once your illustrations have been completed and approved.
The purchase of Rapid Release services is only relevant to the interior production of your book, and does notapply to illustration timelines.
Unless you want a different artist and different style of illustrations for each of your books, it is our current policy to work on one book at a time. This minimizes confusion for both the author and the illustrator and maximizes the quality and consistency of the illustrations from one to book to the next.
"Premium" denotes the amount of services included in the packages. Not all premium packages include illustrations, but the two that do include only Personalized Illustrations. You do have the option to purchase an upgrade to the Fine Detail and Intricate Design illustrations. Your publishing consultant can assist you in that transaction.
A single illustration that spans from one page across the fold to the facing page as a continuous scene is known as a "double page spread." A double page spread constitutes two illustrations, and must be purchased as such.
Illustration services that are part of a package cannot be exchanged for other publishing services.

The Roanoke Express were a team in the ECHL from 1993 until 2004. Home games were played at the Roanoke Civic Center in Roanoke, Virginia.
Roanoke Valley's first minor league ice hockey team, called the Salem Rebels, played its inaugural season at the Salem Civic Center in the 1967-1968 season with Jim Jago as team captain. The first season had some sparse crowds of less than 1,000 in the 4,848 seat arena. Over the next few years, the team developed a fanbase and a number of games were sold out. In 1971, the team moved to the newly built Roanoke Civic Center near downtown Roanoke and were renamed the Roanoke Valley Rebels.
For most of the 1980s and early 1990s, various teams such as the Virginia Lancers and Roanoke Valley Rampage played in a custom built facility called the LancerLot in Vinton. The Virginia Lancers were owned by Henry Brabham, who also owned a chain of convenience stores named Lancer Mart. The roof of the LancerLot collapsed as a result of heavy snowfall during the Blizzard of 1993 resulting in hockey moving back to the Roanoke Civic Center.
Joining the ECHLEdit
The Express proved to be a success both on the ice and in drawing more fans than previous hockey teams in the Roanoke Valley. During the mid to late 1990s, some crowds nearly filled the over 9,000 seat civic center. In 1995-1996, average attendance was 5,679. The team's hard-nosed style of play reflected their coach, Frank Anzalone, who later coached the ECHL's Johnstown Chiefs. The Express typically had outstanding goalkeeping with Daniel Berthiaume and Dave Gagnon. The team continued to be successful, and in fact reached new heights, after Anzalone left for the Lowell Lock Monsters and was replaced by Scott Gordon.
However, by the early 2000s, the novelty of hockey in the Roanoke Civic Center had worn off and the team's inability to advance deep into the playoffs led to a frustrated fanbase and sagging attendance. Turmoil in management and ownership contributed to bad press for the team and less effective marketing than in the team's early years. The Express folded after the 2003-2004 season.

Based on the quality of this outreach email I wasn't hoping for much in the way of quality link building from these guys but hey I was here to troll baby!
So I sit and wait as it's quite late in India and sure enough I check my emails at 7am in the UK and there is a reply from a different guy claiming to be the Business Head(?) from this SEO agency.

Chris Van Wilder
Party Liason
Hi Boss Man,
I need some top quality links to this website Play.com we've been getting some serious bad rankings lately. Do you know why that might be?
I look forward to your Free Analysis.
I don't suppose you know a guy called Taj he went to college at Coolidge?
C. Van Wilder
Hi Biggy Biggy Boss Man,
Wow, that was quick you guys really are a set of fatty fat kids.
I need the free analysis for Play.com and I am targeting lots of keywords but my top keywords I am trying to rank for are Pickled onions, Pickle Jars, Pickled Eggs and Pickled Gherkins.
Chris VW
I'm expecting BIG things I've never ever had to deal with an SEO TEAM before wow these guys must be f***ing AWESOME!!!
2 days later I received more than I could have ever wished for!
Hi Chris,
I hope you are doing well.
Please find the attached analysis report for the website. We have mentioned the On page changes and the reason of rectification, also we have suggested few keywords in the report.
You can make the final list of the keywords in order to initiate the campaign. Our reports schedule will be as follows:
First report we send you within 7 days:
Post Campaign Analysis First weak |
Dmoz Submission (yes/No) |
Canonical Check Resolve/Suggested |
Meta Tags Implemented/Suggested |
Keyword Density Maintained/Suggested |
Code Text Ratio Maintained/Suggested |
Google analytics if not present we will create and implement it |
Webmaster Tool if not present we will create and implement it. |
Second report we send you in second week
Second weak |
Keyword Analysis and Suggestions |
Competition Analysis |
Sitemap Suggested or Implemented |
Next 6 Months projections for Rankings |
W3validation check in detail for targeted Pages |
Then we will send you the final report showing the keywords performance and activities along with :
Along with the report:
1) Updated Sitemap
2) Extra keyword Suggestion as per plan.
I have attached the Monthly sample report for one of my client. You can see the performance of the keywords in the first tab and activities done for the campaign in other tabs. You will be receiving the monthly report in the same format for your campaign.
Your payment would be as follows:
Payments schedule will be the same for any package, let me provide you with an example of Bronze package for 10 keywords.
Your first month payment will be Upfront for USD 120 after 20% discount for the Bronze package, you will pay the second payment after you receive the first month performance report, which we deliver you in 30 days from the date you made the first payment. However you will receive two on page reports within 30 days as discussed and monthly report after 30 days.
Third payment you will make again after you receive second Month performance report. Now once your 3 months are completed, and you receive your third month performance report. You just have to pay USD 20 per keyword p/m appearing on Google page one. So the fourth month payment will be as per the keywords ranking on Google page one, suppose there are 4 keywords ranking out of 5 keywords on Google page one you will only pay USD 80 as a fourth month payment and so on in coming months. However we will keep working on other keywords in order to bring them on Google page one.
You can add as many keywords as you want in coming months by paying just USD 30 for first three months from the month you will introduce the keyword and USD 20 after 3 months if it is appearing on Google page one.
All keywords should be introduced in different phases. First phase keywords should be in the combination of long tale local keywords with medium competition. After 2 months second phase will include long tale keywords with high competition and after four months third phase will be of Generic keywords. We are working on many projects wherein we are working for 150 to 200 keywords and have provided them Google page one positions. So gradually we can increase the list of keywords for every campaign.
Please feel free to revert back in case of any query.
Wow, our spammer friend had sent me a picture of himself without me even asking. I even reverse Google image searched so it seems fairly genuine!
I was really impressed that is proposal spelt Week as Weak, which gives me every confidence in the quality of articles these guys will be producing for me…
I also have in my possession a copy of a clients weekly report from these guys, I'm not sure if this was attached intentionally or if it was an accident but it contains every link these guys have spammed for this particular website.
As I am not in process of outing other webmasters I've redacted the keywords and key client info such as email addresses, passwords and URL's.
They also included the below SEO report for Play.com that I asked for…

Our Methodology
We utilize the latest technology in their optimization methods – Semantic Indexing (SI). SI analyses content to identify a group of keywords and the context in which these keywords are used as opposed to focusing on a single keyword which can have multiple meanings thus delivering an incorrect search result to a search engine browser. This ensures the relevancy of the content when displayed to the browser and allows websites to be displayed to a more targeted audience. The benefits of SI optimisation are three-fold:
- Search Engines recognize SI techniques and use this, alongside other specifications, to rank a website naturally.
- SI moves the optimization industry further away from the spam techniques that were previously employed to achieve successful natural list rankings. Spam techniques are now being regularly identified by Search Engines and websites utilizing such unethical techniques are being penalized.
We deliver an integrated SEO solution that incorporates the following areas:
Initial Research
- Keyword Research: working alongside our clients we identify a range of short-tail, medium-tail and long-tail keywords to optimize as part of the SEO campaign. Identification of search volume and competition for keywords helps to determine which keywords to target for quick results and which to work towards as a long term goal. All keywords are signed off by our clients during month one as they are an integral element of the SEO work.
Some Suggested Keywords and Rankings for
- Competition Analysis: through analyzing your own competitors we gain a better understanding of your industry, the look and feel of competitors, how successful they are in achieving natural listings, how you compare to them and the areas in which we need to improve your website to be able to effectively compete.
On Page factors
- Meta Tags and other html tags creation: ensuring that meta-tags and html creations are correctly implemented will aid the spiders in assessing your websites relevancy to a search term. Also these are the first impression of your website on the visitor who found your website in SE's.
- Optimization of the website content: assessing your current website content will provide valuable insight into the current keywords that you are promoting to the Search Engines. Through altering the keywords to reflect those agreed during the keyword research stage, the next step is to optimize the website content on existing pages. This is undertaken on the actual web page content and not on the metadata as was previously the case with SEO.
- Generating additional website content relevant to the chosen keywords: it is often necessary to create additional web pages for your website to extend the amount of relevant content contained within your website. As websites are ranked on relevant content ensuring that the content displayed has the correct level of keyword density for maximum optimization is vitally important to effective SEO work.
Off-page Factors
- Back-link creation (link building): The creation of links to your website is one of the main components of off-page SEO activities. Link Building is a method of linking your website to another website through a one–way link based on a common theme. Search Engines consider one-way links as a major factor is allocating a page rank to a website. The higher the page rank the more weight it carries in SEO terms. Historically link building has been misused which has resulted in websites being banned by major search Engines. We only employs manual techniques to secure one-way links from "quality" websites that offer added value to your website and are linked by your chosen theme to complement your website.
- Website and article submissions into search engines and directories: A directory is a collection of information divided into categories and subcategories which each contains links to relevant websites. The directory allows browsers to search through the listings to find the information they require. Search Engines deem links from quality directories to be very beneficial links as the individual directory webmasters manually choose which links to include in their directories and therefore these are considered to be quality links relevant to the search category. In addition, quality directories are indexed regularly which ensures that your new website is indexed quickly by Search Engines. Search Logic identifies the directories to which your website will be submitted.
Account Management and Reporting
- Dedicated Account Manager: it is only through creating and maintaining a solid relationship between your company and a Search Logic dedicated account manager that we can ensure the delivery of an Online Marketing Campaign that exceeds your expectations and meets your strategic objectives. The ability to contact your account manager by telephone, email and MSN ensures clear, open communication channels and allows you to maintain the exact level of contact and control that you desire.
- Detailed SEO report delivered each month: as an integral element of account management you will receive a monthly report detailing the activity that has occurred in the previous month and the results which have been achieved on your behalf. Your dedicated account manager will discuss your report in depth with you each month.
Following tools & technologies will be used during the project for different purposes:
1 | Word Tracker | Keyword Research |

SEO Spammer Trolling,
22 Responses to SEO Spammer Trolling
Love it Chris! Couldn't stop laughing at 'fatty fat kids' (as you can see I have a very advanced sense of humour).
I think we should all make a pact to do this whenever we get these mails. Just send the exact same messages as Chris did, analysis on Play.com etc… – maybe eventually they will stop emailing.
Great Work sir!
Although i am not from the country you are talking about but I am living in the part of the world where SEO is highly misunderstood (sad).
These kinds of bullshit are pretty much common to me but a point where I go crazy was when he give his view on seriously bad rankings…I am damn sure it's a template email.
Cheers everyone, I definitely think more people need to send these guys on wild goose chases. I sent a handful of emails and they clearly spent a few hours putting some rubbish together.
I couldn't believe they actually sent me the links, passwords and email addresses they had used for their directory, article and press release submissions.
I run a website development and online marketing company in India and I have to admit that our SEO spammers are a total embarrassment to us. They have virtually shut down any chance of legitimate companies sending out a non-spammy mail to a prospective customer outside India (we never send out mails, so doesn't affect us).
It's not just companies/individuals in the western world, but these mails reach even Indian Web/SEO companies like ours – dozens every day.
I did a small research once and found that majority of the mails are not sent out by SEO firms, but external mailing agencies who get a commission out of every response they receive.
Entertaining post, nevertheless!
The humor (cross out) humour which naturally lends itself via their replies could never be creatively inserted..
"We will make sure that you spend every single penny for the results"
"First weak"/"Second weak"
"You can add as many keywords as you want in coming months by paying just USD 30 for first three months from the month you will introduce the keyword and USD 20 after 3 months if it is appearing on Google page one. "
So, I can eventually haz all the wordz!
..I still owe money to the keywords, the keywords I owe.. The National (SEO)
Ouch. I feel ashamed to see Indians in such activities. But, I have to agree that most of the spam comes from India. Would you like me to provide glimpse at some of the office in my local area? The so called SEO executives are not even graduated from the high-school. This so called SEO company is paying them measly Rs. 4500-5000 per month salary (that's not even $100 USD).
Here is their daily activities
1) Submit website to 500 directories per day (yup..whopping 500 directories per day)(this is given to single person only)
2) 200 submission to social bookmarking site with 3-5 titles and description variations
and more shit, you really don't want to know about. -
…in this post: the author was solicited with SEO services, came up with a funny phrase about a fat kid on a cupcake, cursed like a drunk sophomore chick in a college pub, demanded free report, got it and ultimately tries to make fun of it. Trolling fail, asshole contest win.
Props to the Indian boys for handling your little girly ass decently, too bad you are a peasant and made them waste their time. And no I'm neither an Indian nor "seo service provider", just a passer by with a heart.
Hi Dan,
I truly got my "little girly ass" served, I've asked Sean to take my post down, I feel deeply embarrassed by my immature behavior.
Please accept my public apology in the most sincere format I know….
Yep, read it again and Chris, you still sound like a fucking idiot. Seriously, if I were you I would be worried about how much spare time I have on my hands instead of working for your clients on their SEO #NoClientsToWorryAbout.. Perhaps you should take a leaf out of their book and try and win some new clients yourself instead of trying to hinder others.
I would be as far as to say you're a complete racist, well done for coming across as an immature little kid.
Keep it up!

General Question
[Fiction question] What kind of boat does my character own?
Asked by Jeruba (44973)
October 31st, 2009
My character "J" affects a pose of "captain" and owns a boat, a yacht, which he docks in San Diego. He lives in a coastal mansion near San Diego (where?). But he does not actually do any of the work of driving or maintaining the boat. He just gives orders and strides about and poses and plays host. (This is not the good guy of my story.)
What kind of boat is it?
Where does he dock it?
What does he wear?
Where does he live?
See also this question. When my question quota reopens, there will be more.

The introduction of more squares into towns, coupled with traffic calming, the return of city-centre housing and the greening of urban environments, are vital to boosting the 'liveability' of cities, a study by the European Institute for Urban Affairs at Liverpool John Moores University says.
The rise of a culture based on pedestrians, squares and streets could form a focus for restaurants, concerts and festivals designed to revitalise urban life, it says, and claims there is little difference between the weather in London and in Paris, where pavement cafes thrive.
The alternative is town centres which have been turned into fortresses with shop fronts 'armour-plated' against crime. The report says the 'best antidote to fear of crime is the presence of people' - a recipe which has worked in parts of Chicago.
The study, Liveable Towns and Cities, was commissioned by the Civic Trust as part of a campaign launched last spring.

Hi. It's nice to meet you. I built this site to help you get to know me better.
If there's only one thing you take away, let it be this:
I am a relentlessly curious, analytical, and creative leader who lives to understand people, solve problems, tell stories, and learn.
Please scroll down to learn more.
Creative + Analytical
How I Think
Problem Solver
How I Build Solutions
I view problems as opportunities to both learn and grow. Since a young age, I have been extremely curious and driven to understand why things work, and often more importantly, why they don't. My background as an analytical and creative thinker informs my understanding of the world.
But just understanding the scope of the challenge doesn't actually fix it. When posed with problems, I find solutions.
How I Connect
Storytelling is a major theme in both my life and career. Storytelling is at the root of my greatest accomplishments: writing fiction, setting sales records, building strategic partnerships, negotiating contracts, providing stellar service managing accounts, sharing findings, and motivating team members and staff to complete projects.
People are driven by narratives, and I use them to create lasting and meaningful connections.
How I Get Things Done
Great leadership brings out the best in everyone. I believe in leadership by example and the importance of properly motivating teams through a common understanding of the overall goals, purpose, and responsibilities for each given project. With a solid understanding of where we are going and why, it becomes much easier for team members to achieve targets and milestones.
Applied Learner
The Common Thread
This is the foundation for everything. I never stop learning, and I never stop applying what I learn to what I do. It makes me a better thinker, a more emphathetic leader, a better problem solver, a more effective storyteller, and a better person. When I stop learning, I stop living.

Airport shuttle
Excellent accommodations and courteous, friendly and helpful staff. Also, a great value, considering the quality of the hotel, furnishings and amenities. We'll be back! On arrival late in the evening the hotel was out of a number of items on the menu, both food and drink. A bit frustrating since we arrived late and had counted on a late dinner.
I liked the cleanliness of the room The power went out and it was 80+ degrees in my room.
I loved that the hotel was very clean and offered food 24 hours.
We typically stay at a Choice Hotel when we travel, but the wifey wanted to "step it up" for our weekend getaway, so we stayed here. The check in was really quick, room was spacious, & location was close to everything we like to do, such as shop, eat, and sightsee. The hotel is worth the price and now I think we will always step it up when we travel. Staff very hospitable. Even the housekeeper wished us best when we were checking out. Highly impressed!!! Shower was a bit small. I'm a big and tall guy, and shower was a bit snug. A microwave would be nice in the room.
Our only complaint was some grape stems found on the floor behind the foot stool and extra conditioner left but no shampoo on second day.
We made last minute reservations and there was no problem. Cost was reasonable. Shuttle to airport was invaluable -- on time, courteous drivers and available at convenient times. Desk crew was a little frantic, especially since it was not very crowded.
Quiet. Friendly. Nice room. Needs smoking area for each floor.
Late Dinner at bar was accommodating. Large portions on meal. Room was damp & moldy. Too late at night to relocate the room. Printer in business center did not function.
Well done lobby area and comfortable rooms. Bedroom needed a fridge and breakfast buffet was $14.
Comfort of beds was great. The Lobby was very attractive. Room was clean, but not sound proof. Requested additional wash cloth that never came. The ceiling had been repaired at one time for a water leak and needed permanent repair as it was beginning to deteriorate. Had to call about internet access. No one explained about free (unsecured) line vs. premium secured line at a cost. No one fully explained that they would be charging incidentals to credit card just in case. Found a $54.63 charge to my account for nothing that I'd used upon my return home. View was of the rental car lot which was fine except for the fact that the following morning the staff would turn on car alarms to find the vehicles which was very disruptive when trying to sleep.
One of the nicest Sheraton's I've stayed. Wonderful staff and lovely rooms.
The broken shower head on the Club floor in the room that I was staying in. And I wish i had a patio.
Staff were outstanding at all times Kudos to hiring management for understanding the importance and knowledge to choose those who know how to deliver excellence! Very nice rooms with comfortable clean rooms. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!!
Very close to airport and hotel shuttle was great. Bathroom had water spots and carpet looked dirty.
Very good breakfast!! Not food room service
Clean and very friendly staff. Business center out of order.
I loved the room. It had a beautiful set up and the removable shower head was great. It was nice to have a mini fridge for storage and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast was generic but sufficient if you wanted to save money and buy lunch and dinner later. When my partner and I first arrived the receptionist was on the phone laughing and giggling to who ever was on the other line. We were only second in line but had to wait at least 15 minutes for service. The other receptionist was servicing another family and was quickly on the phone after speaking with them. In came another receptionist reprimanding her co-workers in front of everyone in the lobby. Very unprofessional! After our 15 minute wait we get to the receptionist only to find out that even though we had a reservation we would have to wait another 15 to 30 minutes to get the room we wanted! After driving 11 hours to North Carolina, that isn't what you want to hear. So we took the room initially offered due to being exhausted. We stayed at the Hyatt house a few months back and preferred that one much much better. It got 5 stars across the board! This airport Hyatt had a small closet, leaving at least half of my dress to rest onto the floor
The friendly and professional staff were the most notable of the whole experience. Everyone was very friendly and making sure that you had everything you needed. Loved the whole experience!
Room, staff,breakfast all great
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The inside of the hotel could perhaps use a little bit of a face-lift, but the rooms were clean and comfortable, with fridges, couches, etc, and I felt very welcome and safe here as a solo female traveler.
The staff were very helpful Nothing
Great staff and service--everyone was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean and breakfast was enjoyable. The location was very convenient and the area/neighborhood was peaceful, clean and serene. There was a group of people on our floor that made a ton of noise one night as they came in and out of their rooms to visit each other across the hall. Honestly it felt like we were staying in a college dormitory. While I know that this is not necessarily the fault of the hotel, the noise carried heavily into our room during bedtime for our young son. It went on for an hour and was just miserable. We called down to the lobby to see if they could address it but, at 8pm, I'm not sure what they could have done.
Staff was very friendly. Starbucks on site Short-staffed housekeeping
Very friendly staff Large comfortable rooms Complimentary hot breakfast Starbucks in lobby Free internet Very thoughtful design
the staff is very friendly and helpful. the room exceeded expectation - bathroom is updated nicely and the bed was very comfortable. I didn't hear anything during my stay that would have kept me up. close proximity to uptown if that's what you are in town for. no complaints
The staff is aces, the room was comfortable and clean and the bathroom was great. I loved the fact I was able to save $20 on cab fare by using the shuttle to go to the laundromat. I was very close giving a four star review with the reasons I didn't listed below. The pool being closes by Labor Day Weekend was a royal bummer. The float in the toilet got stuck twice which resulted in an overflow.
Very clean
Quiet very friendly staff Booked 2 rooms that were to have a refrigerator and microwave neither did they also only give 1 key per room which made it difficult to get into other room where children were also booked a smoking and they failed to inform us that all rooms were not smoking
Very comfortable beds, Not much noise other than airplanes, which isn't bad either. No fridge or microwave in my room but that wasn't a deal breaker for me.
This hotel met my needs since my flight was cancelled. It's great just for one night to sleep. If you're looking for something extremely nice, this isn't the way to go. But for me, it was a good stay.
Well worth the price. Small but clean.
The fact that my children were able to be comfortable and play on the floor with out getting sick The fact that I could not use my debit card that I reserved my room with and I had to put 100 Cash deposit
Clean rooms. Maid staff was very pleasant and cheerful. Front desk attendant was very rude and had an attitude when I asked questions. He left me waiting to check-in to help someone else who walked up after me.
I didn't like anything about it. It was the worst place I've ever stayed. I didn't like the hotel period it was run down. It was as if the place was for drug dealers and hookers.
Overall my stay was fine. I chose this room because I needed a refrigerator and microwave as I ate my meals there. The bed and shower were fine. Choices on the TV adequate.
very dirty pathways, doorways, carpets, etc. room sheets were clean, but not much else….
Older building but still clean. Friendly staff. Responsive heating/cooling unit. Spacious room for one nonsmoking king. Most of the rooms have exterior doors. Ours on the third floor did not, which i liked. Great value for so little cost.
I loved the cleanliness of the hotel! Beds were very comfortable and clean. The hotel is only about a 10 minute drive to downtown Charlotte, and there are plenty of good restaurants to choose from withing driving distance. We were a group of women, and I felt very safe in this area. Also, I had two separate reservations for a two night stay. We were supposed to check- out, then check back in to switch rooms. Well, I asked the nice older gentleman if we could just stay in the same room (even though we weren't supposed to b/c we booked through a 3rd party,) but he managed to work it out so we could stay in our room. Talk about going above and beyond! For the price and the value (clean rooms, breakfast, free wifi etc.,) Its worth the price. Next time I'm in Charlotte, I won't hesitate to stay here!!!! I called for extra towels and I was greeted with an irritated voice that said "hello!" You would have thought I was calling her house in the middle of the night playing phone tag! She said she would bring some, but after about 20 minutes of waiting, still no towels. No big deal. We left, went to dinner, and before returning to our room, stopped by the front desk where the kind gentleman asked "how many?" and in seconds, returned with warm fluffy towels! We did this on both nights of our stay and it was no problem.
Good decor, breakfast was great, beds were comfortable and the shower was amazing. They had fresh lemonade at the check in 24/7. Coffee and Tea were always available as well. Pool was closed on Memorial Day weekend?!? No mention of it was given to me and it was one of the main reasons I chose the hotel.
Proximity to airport Room was clean, with the exception of some random objects (springs, screws) Desk staff were friendly, polite, and competent The room was tiny and loud, pillows were small and lumpy, air system wouldn't stay on to provide white noise. Hospitality staff walked into the room at 9 am while I was in the shower. All things considered, the room was overpriced.
The shuttle was good Well it is in a very run down part of Charlotte there was an hr long helicopter police chase outside the hotel and several you ladies that appeared to be working not just there to sleep who frequently were outside smoking. Just overall a very rundown hotel no bath tub just a shower! Not kids programming on the tv.
Lg tv in room Quoted $74 online, booked it, and then when I got to the hotel they charged me $109. I showed them my confirmation email, and was told it didn't matter, it was being done by corporate.
The hotel felt like home away from home. Pillows in most hotels are way too soft. I could actually sleep on these pillows.
Fantastic room! The layout of the hotel was beautiful. The pool and gym area was really nice as well. Not far from the interstate and about 5-8 minutes from downtown. Great location and will hope to stay there again!
I had read the reviews and was looking forward to my night's stay. When we arrived everything was great--good food at the restaurant, great service at the restaurant, nice, clean room and very comfortable bed. But my stay there was for an early morning flight. I asked for a wake-up call that never came in--an essential necessity for an early am flight. And I asked for breakfast to arrive at a specific time and it never did. After waiting 20 minutes after the breakfast arrival time, I had to cancel it and head to the airport with two very hungry little kids. Also, the internet service was NOT free as advertised.
I recently stayed here for an overnight trip. Hotel was very nice and tastefully decorated. Rooms were clean and spacious. Beds were very comfortable. Staff was pleasant. Check In and Out went smoothly. Would definitely stay here again during future Charlotte trips!
Awesome value! Friendly Staff....very helpful when we had a problem. Beautiful Decor! Clean Rooms! My only complaint was they did not have free wi-fi.
Actually sleeping on the ground is a lot more comfortable Pillows were so small. The thermostat was crazy.. It blew hot air and then cold air all night long. Will not stay there again because of these problems.
This hotel is very tucked away but is very beautiful. At first it seems like there is no hotel but once you drive up it is magnificent. Everything is very well maintained and clean. Guest services is always willing and able to assist in whatever way they can. Photos online does not give justice to the beauty of the hotel. I know that they have a pool area although I was unable to use it. And room service (breakfast) is very speedy and delicious. I am looking forward to my next trip and the renaissance is definitely where I will be staying.
My Husband and I spent 8 nights at this Hotel. The room was comfortable. The staff from the Bellman to the Front desk were the most helpful with dining suggestions and directions to get there. January is a slow month and a wonderful time for a leisure vacation. The buffet breakfast is excellent but abit pricey. The bed was very comfortable. The airport was 10 minutes away.
Enjoyed my stay; excellent workout facilities, great restaurant.
This is a hidden treasure in the Charlotte area. The room was very clean and was well furnished. The pool and work out facilities were also very clean and supplies were well stocked. The staff was very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to stay in or near Charlotte.
The rooms were huge, 2 bedrooms with a large bathroom. 2 flat screen tv's. Very nice! I read a lot of reviews before I book a room, and this was a good decision. Surprising how affordable this hotel was.
The room was very clean and the staff accommodating. The inside and outside fire pit areas were warm and friendly. The breakfast buffet area was not kept clean or stocked, several dishes and glasses were dirty. The omelet station was manned by a women who spent the whole shift talking and complaining about her life to one of the other co-workers and some of the discussion was not suitable for the young children in the area. the food was only warm and not hot, we ended up leaving and paying for breakfast at a nearby restaurant because none of the 4 people in our party could eat the food that was out. This has never happened, we travel a lot an always stay at hotels that offer free breakfast as a convenience.
Good staff. Warm welcome. Airport shuttle. Good complimentary breakfast. Wonderful room facilities. A good place to stay away from home. Nothing
the room cleanliness transport to airport wifi kitchenette ok for the airport or do you need a car
Very modern and sleek. Great breakfast, made to order omelette. Very accommodating. Nothing really
Great location Forgot to call ylus about the shuttle
Proximity to airport...able to get dinner(tho not very tasty) and a beer. Did not know that we needed to call for shuttle at airport so waited a long time...
Very clean Staff was very helpful Breakfast buffet was delicious Would highly recommend this hotel
Staff was nice. Excellent location if you are looking for something close to the airport. Definitely consider this place if you are trying to save some bucks, not a bad price for what you get.
The staff was so friendly, even jumping my battery when my car died.
Staff was rude, toilet broken
Location and price were good. The sheets were clean and there were no bed bugs. Breakfast was standard fare. The shower curtain was dirty and the tub had light residue buildup. The staff was slow, unfriendly, and let the phone ring for several minutes while I was checking in. The hotel smelled of cigarette smoke and it was obvious the owners don't care to keep the place nice.
I thought the hotel was very nice and modern and our room was clean. The room we stayed in did not have a mini-fridge or microwave. I brought milk with us for my toddler and I had to let it spoil overnight because there was no where to put it.
Quick airport shuttle pickup, within 10 minutes Quick easy checkin and out Nice continental breakfast Room smelled of smoke on arrival--not overwhelming but noticeable at first. Bathroom could use upgrading, but clean and functional.
The facilities were decent; room was clean; beds comfortable. TV worked. Staff was nice. Would consider staying again if the need arose. Very disappointed there was no refrigerator (of any size) in the room -- that seems almost standard in hotels nowadays. The breakfast was standard for continental, however, there was no regular coffee!! There continued to be no regular coffee during our entire time eating breakfast. Disappointed the outlets on the lamps did not work.
We stayed here because it was close to the airport and could leave our car plus have a shuttle take us to the airport and pick us back up. Clean room. Would stay again. Some of the parking area had an iron fence and part of the fence had been broken. we were concerned because we were leaving our car for several days. it needs to be fixed
Comfy beds, spacious room, very clean, close to airport and the shuttle was great. Food at the store downstairs was really overpriced (I know all hotels are), out of coffee in the morning when we went to leave
Hotel is under renovation. I arose early to catch a plane and found there was no hot water for my shower. Also, the coffee pot in the room had not been properly cleaned.
The room we stayed in was clean, contemporary, and comfortable. The staff was great and the breakfast was delicious! Highly recommend the breakfast add on to your room. I asked if we could check out a bit later than 12 and was denied.
would be nice to refresh the rooms. The restaurant was very poor quality of food, even worse than a Shoney's
I enjoyed the luxury. Pricing.
Large, clean rooms. Room has refrigerator, AC/heater unit worked well, bathroom was updated and clean. No weird smells. Breakfast was more than just continental (eggs, sausage, grits, cereal, breads, fruit, etc) Weird light switches in the rooms, not very bright.
Their shuttle was quick and convenient. There were delivery menus available for hungry late arrivers. We experienced no problems during our stay.
Location to the airport. Attentive staff. Airport shuttle service Room needed maintenance. Smoky smell in the corridors.
Good location relative to Carowinds Room/bathroom was a bit small. Bathroom door opened outward and blocked the entrance door.
Location is great The doors room key doesn't work for a lot of rooms. They said that it was an ongoing issue. So everytime my wife and I left the room we had to wait 15 to 20 mins for the front desk person to come open it. Then their was only 1 of them and they had to do check ins at the same time. All together we wasted about 3 maybe even 4 hrs of our stay waiting to get in the room we paid for. We ask two days for a manager and they always said he wasn't on site. Then the front desk ppl caught attitudes because they had to walk us up to our rooms a lot. They could have said they had issues with their doors and I would have went across the street to the other hotel.
Hotel was very nice, centrally located with lots of restaurants & shops within walking distance. Room was clean, bed was very comfortable. Will stay here again, if ever in this area again.
Having the living room separate from the bedroom was nice. Furniture was very old and uncomfortable.
The breakfast was very good. The breakfast staff was very attentive. The happy hour was also good. Thought maybe they would have a hot appetizer to go along with the cheese and crackers and fruit. I reserved a room with a king size bed and was given a queen size bed.
The massive room I had. Staff was perfect and I'll stay there again
I like the staff and ease of check in and out. there was also a reception and free full breakfast. The room looks like it hasnt been updated since the 70s. It needs a full overhaul.
great location - great staff- very clean
We loved the room! The food was also very delicious. Would stay here again. Construction was ongoing but we were made aware so it was ok.
Very close to airport; prompt shuttle service and beautiful rooms. The bed was very comfortable.
Absolutely recommondable!
It was just gross. For example, I took a hot shower and the bathroom doesn't vent well. The steam condensed on the ceiling and in some cases dripped onto the ground. The drips were this incredible yellow buttery mess. One of the most repulsive things I have ever seen in my life. Also it is very close to the airport but it is not possible to walk there, no matter which way you go you'll have to walk on a highway eventually, so you will have no choice but to take a $14 cab. (That's the minimum fare) Also there's a much nicer hotel in the same parking lot, I can't believe I was so stupid.
I liked all of it. personnel is excellent all around. shuttle readily available. distance from airport is less than two miles. I got a good rate on internet site. not a problem for me, but the wake up call were jets from clt flying overhead
I normally stay at Marriott Courtyard when I travel to Charlotte. This time, due to the great ratings on TripAdvisor, I stayed at the Hampton Inn. It was wonderful - far superior to the Courtyard. I've definitely found my home away from home.
The location was wonderful. We went to a Panthers game Friday night and was only a 15 minute drive to the hotel after the game. Even though it was 1 AM when we arrived, the staff was friendly and very helpful. I liked that the hotel had a security guard patrolling the parking lot. Saturday morning we went to the National White Water Center and it was only a 18 minute drive with traffic. Pool and hot tub were nice after a hard day of paddling and rope courses. Our room was quiet except for the occasional plane passing over. Thoroughly pleased with the breakfast options. I would definitely stay here again. Hard to find the hotel entrance from the highway since it is part of a thru way from the Mobile gas station. I drove past it twice before I was able to enter.
Very clean facility and nice staff. Free hot breakfast and dinner. Nothing
Large room with full kitchen Parking was very crowded
The size of room and having breakfast everyday. Friendly helpful staff
Location close and convenient to family we visited. Enjoyed complimentary breakfast, pool and gym.
Great experience. Beautiful room, great staff and a great neighborhood.
clean, location,great staff not an exception breakfast
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish the thicker decorative blinds would slide to cover more of the window so that I didn't get sun first thing in the morning. Not a real big deal though.
Comfy room, great hi-def channel offerings. Pleasant smell in hotel and room. Front desk staff *more* than helpful during my all-day seminar. Highly recommend.
Price and suite style room Gentleman working the breakfast area was so friendly and outgoing. Some of the furniture was old and a little worn. Stain on the bedspread. Room smelled vaguely like smoke although nonsmoking. The hotel was rated so highly on websites that I expected more.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
nothing everything
We enjoyed the space in the room the cost of the night stay and the staff
They did not have my reservation that I booked through booking.com. I had to negotiate the deal with staff. There must be a problem in the system. Did you charge me separately for the booking? I want to make sure I didn't pay twice.
Cheap, close to the airport and free shutles running every 30min.
I enjoyed the very nice and helpful staff, accommodations and the great breakfast.
Breakfast was good. Room was okay - an older hotel with some remodeling
didnt inform pool was closed and doing work on building,bathrooms old and stained,all needs work price
Close to airport Rooms and old and dirty looking
We arrived at 2:00 am, saw the dirty room and asked for another room which was not available. However, staff came to clean the bathroon and brought clean bedsheets Breakfast was good. Wrinkled bed sheets and beds were poorly made. Nedsheets and pillow cases had stains and hair on them. Bathroom floor was not clean (blood stains on the floor, hair around the toilet and on the floor)
The price was good and breakfast was not bad. Carpets old, bathrooms small, drain slow, no microwave or fridge.
Desk staff gave me a room per request on second floor. Room quiet enough. Curtain was for decoration only. Unable to close to shield out parking garage light outside window. A few table lamps did not work, one was not plugged in. No elevator to second floor.
Bed and TV in the room Only one bed in room, we had three Adults!, drain in tub was plugged, pool was closed(YES, STILL CLOSED AND IT WAS ONLY IN THE 90'S!!) Absolutely no urgency to fix Anything! Black mold spot in hallway, water damaged on drywall in bathroom.
Price No frigging elevator! Slow internet!
Breakfast, the cookies and the lemonade. Furniture and carpet were stained. Their were ants in my room and from the response I received it wasn't the first time they had been informed of this issue.
Great value. Pool. Better than average cont breakfast. Some minor renovations ongoing. No elevator for 2nd floor.
The rooms will be nice when finished. The place was being renovated. And the doors were not secure from the parking lot into the hotel. I did not feel comfortable with such easy access for anyone to walk right into the hotel from the back entrances. Tile work was not completed, paint on the walls was not completed.
Very close to the airport. Tasty breakfast. Laundry in the building. Large laundromat and supermarket directly across the street. Standard room with two queen beds had a small refrigerator and microwave. rooms are surprisingly well noise insulated. Regularly forgot how close this hotel was to the airport until walking outside and having a plane fly directly overhead. Housekeeper started banging on the door at 9am everyone morning to ask if I was leaving. Definitely not welcomed when you just got finished working at 2am and clearly have three more days on your reservation.
location to airport. very country like settting. good breakfast the noise upstairs was very loud. had to call front desk twice for noise complaint. nothing was done about the noise.
The rooms are so small. Front lobby looks more like a crack house. Worn out sofas that I would not want to sit on in fear of bugs. Front desk spent more time on the phone then he did in checking me in. Gave me the room key and never said thank you or enjoy your stay. I took the key and said thank you to him. Al I heard was crickets from him.
The check in girl was friendly. The room was well used and in poor shape. The refrigerator door would not stay closed. The bed was so worn out my wife and I kept sinking into the black hole in the middle. Made for a very uncomfortable sleep.
Nothing at all. I went to the airport, sleeping in s chair at the airport was better than this place. It was horrible. I think it's funny they have a rewards program, I really doubt anyone uses this chain twice. Upon arriving, I bothered the front desk girl, I blocked her view of the television. The entire time checking in, she didn't speak to me or get up from her chair. The room was gross. By the desk, there was food on the wall from the previous guest, nobody cleaned up. The AC unit was too old and loud to have on while I watched tv or spoke on the telephone. Parts of the AC were laying on the floor. Menus and literature were soaking in the standing liquid that was in the desk. The toilet was not bolted to the floor, and rocked back and forth, you could hear water sloshing around, horrible odor in the bathroom. I would guess the seal is broken and that's raw sewer fumes. The shower was filthy and had been patched with something. I decided to not shower, I am sure I was cleaner than the shower. There were to soap or shampoo in the room either, and I didn't feel like asking Miss Personality at the front desk. There were pubic hairs on the bedspread and pillow case. So gross. I just went back to the airport, I wanted to sleep in a cleaner chair in a public airport terminal rather than try to rest at Microtel. On a positive note, the late shift girl there greeted me. That was the only positive thing I can say. If you are looking for a terrifying ride with a grumpy shuttle bus driver, this is your place.
Phone was flashing constantly, cord was detached and broken. Breakfast was below average, cheap powdered cream for coffee, poor selection. Noise from other guests. Poor breakfast,
Location to the airport Very old building in need of much repair and renovation. Seems more like an apartment building with people staying long term. 3 TV channels, lumpy bed, poor a/c and a dirty bath tub. 2 Police cars were outside on two different occasions just a mess simply a mess......never again will I stay here.
I liked that there was NOT A FLOOD or that we had ELECTRICITY. That's about it The place smelled of smoke and other foul odors. The whole place. It was in a bad area of town. Beds were uncomfortable. Bathroom was old and hard to use. Would Never stay here again
Located near interstate. The staff was extremely inattentive & rude. The front desk attendants acted as though it was a huge burden to even greet guests. When they had to interact with guests the staff instantly got attitudes and acted like the guests were an interruption to their day. Even for simple tasks such as checking in or out. The significantly smaller room than pictured was less than mediocre, at best. There was an unbelieveable amount of cigarettes burns on the furniture and the bedding. Only 2 electrical outlets worked in the entire room. The TV & the alarm clock was broken. The sheets on the bed were dingy & stained. The lock on the door was barely attached anymore. The floors were disgusting, as was the bathroom shower The wall trimming was completely detached from the walls in the bedroom and bathroom. Lastly, in the hallways of the floor I stayed on there was a very loud and a very public domestic dispute that occurred. And not one single hotel official came to check on the incident! There were literal screams for Help throughout the hallways. The staff was definitely informed & yet, they did nothing. The absolute worst hotel experience of my life!!
I liked the price for the location You get what you pay for. It was what a $40 a night hotel should be.
I really liked how close it was to the airport and other food locations. The staff was unbelievably accommodating, specifically the shuttle driver Tim and the desk clerk Karol! They helped me find a delicious bbq place while i was laid over. Even offered to drive me there if there were not airport pickups, unfortunately there was. It's not the nicest hotel but it has 3 perks. AC worked well, water pressure was great, and it was close to the hotel with a free shuttle. The facilities were not very well maintained. Lots of scuff marks on the paint and general wear and tare was evident everywhere.
Updated TVs Stronger Breakfast Smokey Smell No Printer No Exercise Room Cigarette burns in bedding Inattentive Staff
Breakfast Not. Clean room had hole in the wall above the bed the TV did not work
The location was close to airport Shuttle was not labeled with hotel name, desk clerk was rude when calling
