Experience doesn't matter in the anime. Just because your Pikachu beat a Latios doesn't mean it won't lose to a Servine/Snivy.

God Zekroms appearance was so epic in that episode
Wonder why Pikachu doesnt use Thunder anymore that would 1HKO Snivy
Pikachu couldn't use it's electric attacks, and besides, Pikachu can't use Thunder anymore. It's moves were ThunderBolt, Iron Tail, Quick Attack and Volt Tackle (which gets changed to Electro Ball later on)

^I think you got ninjad.
I already know I spelled it wrong. Ever heard of typos?
You no wht I love about this epsiode? I love how after however many years ash has battled gym leaders, gone throughout EVERY region, pwned almost everyone he met, thy go and make him 10 again, take away all his epicness an skills, and practically start his life over. Still, I used to watch pokemon when I was young and I still love seeing the pokemon actually move and talk (if pika pika counts as talking) and seeing wht moves actually look like (instead of seeing a waterfall or wave appear out of nowhere and attack the other pokemon)
this episode made me hate the writers and zekrom.
THE writers because they done something similar to this in honnen
zekrom because he overcharged pickachu
Hej guys, I'm new to these forums
,but I got some serious criticism about the new season.
First of all , Ash seems younger now , still at age 10 , he also seem to have lost all of his experience :/ he couldn't even win from Tripp's Snivy with his LVL 100 Pikachu :s ! Also I don't like the new vibe around Team Rocket :s They became so serious and don't even say ''We're blasting off again" anymore :'( stupid... And now Brock is gone ... :/ and everything about the Sinnoh League seem to be forgotten :/ Didn't happen that severely in the beginning of Sinnoh League... Also the Iris character is so ... :/ uuh stupid kinda repetitive too.. "You're such a kid" :/ also nothing special here like pokemon contests which where COOOOL :s ! well thats my opinion ... What's yours ?!
Can't you read the post above yours? Ash never ages, he was always ten years old, and always will be.
Snivy was stronger than Pikachu, and Pikachu's electricity was messed up.
So were Misty, May, and Dawn. Iris is better than all three of them.

Judge sides with company on contraceptive coverage
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Friday temporarily prevented the Obama administration from forcing a Christian publishing company to provide its employees with certain contraceptives under the new health care law.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton granted a preliminary injunction sought by Tyndale House Publishers, which doesn't want to provide employees with contraceptives that it equates with abortion.
At issue are contraceptives such as Plan B and IUDs. If a woman already is pregnant, the Plan B pill has no effect. It prevents ovulation or fertilization of an egg, and according to the medical definition, pregnancy doesn't begin until a fertilized egg implants itself into the wall of the uterus. The Plan B pill may also be able to prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus. IUDs mainly work by blocking sperm but may also have the same uterus effect. To Tyndale, these methods are not morally different than abortion.
Tyndale, based in Carol Stream, Ill., says it provides its 260 employees with coverage for some contraceptives. The company and its president and CEO, Mark D. Taylor, filed the lawsuit against the Health and Human Services Department last month.
"The contraceptive coverage mandate affirmatively compels the plaintiffs to violate their religious beliefs in order to comply with the law and avoid the sanctions that would be imposed for their noncompliance," wrote Walton, an appointee of President George W. Bush. He said that if the company doesn't comply with the mandate, it is subject to government fines and lawsuits.
Walton acknowledged that the government has broad, compelling interests in promoting public health and ensuring that women have equal access to health care, but he said the question "is whether the government has shown that the application of the contraceptive coverage mandate to the plaintiffs furthers those compelling interests," underlying "to the plaintiffs" in the text. Nothing in Walton's order applied to anyone other than Tyndale.
Walton said that the government hasn't offered any proof that mandatory insurance for the specific types of contraceptives that Tyndale objects to furthers the government's compelling interests.
Matthew S. Bowman, a lawyer for Alliance Defending Freedom, which brought the suit on behalf of Tyndale, said in an email that Bible publishers "should be free to do business according to the book that they publish."
He added: "The Obama administration is not entitled to disregard religious freedom."
The Health and Human Service Department declined to comment, citing the ongoing litigation.

Message from the Chair
The Sociology department has an internship course -- SOC 132 Independent Fieldwork and Research Internship -- that is available in the fall or spring semesters.
Fieldwork and internships are designed to enhance students' practical exposure to and understanding of applied sociological analysis. So the internship experience is generally reserved for advanced majors and minors in Sociology. It is common for SOC 180 (Statistics) and SOC 181 (Research Methods) to be completed in order to be eligible for an internship. The combination of practical experience in a sociologically relevant setting with an academically oriented program of study under the supervision of a member of the department's faculty can offer a valuable learning opportunity. Students interested in an internship should make an appointment to discuss the possibilities with the Department Chair.

PILOT MOUNTAIN — Keri Fulp signed a letter of intent with Wake Forest University at East Surry High School Wednesday amidst a lot of excitement indicating her commitment to attend the university and play basketball for the Demon Deacons.
Fulp, along with family, teachers, coaches and Principals Diane Beane and Assistant Principal Brent Long, paid tribute to the occasion by attending the event, shaking hands and celebrating the momentous occasion of the signing, which was held in the school's library.
Fulp sat at a signing table decorated with a single black and gold pom-pom, a basketball sporting a gold and black nike check mark, and a huge Wake Forest flag emblazoned across the table's front.
In front of a small crowd of witnesses, Fulp smiled and with an official tone took the pen in hand. Without much ado, she got down to business and signed her name three times on the small stack of papers that bore a large emboldened Wake Forest logo.
These three quick signatures earned Keri Fulp a full academic scholarship that includes room and board, tuition and books to attend the local prestigious university.
Fulp's mother, Debra, said, "We are completely honored and blessed for Keri to be able to play basketball locally near home, and at such a fine institution."
Sisters, Kayla and Karli, remarked about the team spirit and support that had always been a part of their lives and again emphasized their thankfulness of their sister's dream being fulfilled so close to home.
Kayla said, "It's very exciting for us as there has always been healthy competition between us. There is so much love and respect between us and it is exciting to see how her competitive spirit has helped this day come to fruition." Karli said she will miss her but will be going to see her and support her wholeheartedly.
Fulp said when asked if she was concerned about the transition from high school to college, "I am looking forward to a lot of hard work. There is no comparison between collegiate and high school level." However in the meantime, Fulp said that she understood the importance of priority and will be competitive during the basketball season at hand for the Cards.
"I'm proud to be a Cardinal, it is a huge priority for me to represent my school well. That's just the way I am. When I am a Cardinal, I am a Cardinal; when I am a Deacon, I am a Deacon. I guess I will always bleed red…and black and gold," added Fulp with her characteristic quiet strength and smile.
Fulp will play Wake Forest women's basketball under Demon Deacons Head Coach Jen Hoover and will begin training this summer.
She began playing AAU basketball at 8 years old with the Surry Storm AAU team under coaches Allen Hiatt and her father, Frank, who was her assistant coach until 2011. She has since been coached by Cleon Cook of the AAU Carolina Express and Keith Gunter of the East Surry Cardinals at the high school level.
Her father said he believed this day would come some day for Keri when he began to see her potential at an early age. When she began playing for the Express team, he finally got to retire from coaching her and relax and enjoy watching her for a change.
The Carolina Express AAU team has tryouts once a year and Fulp made the team in 2011 because of her dedication to work for it both on and off the court.
Coach Cook said, "She is a very hard worker and does not mind getting after it. When she comes to the gym, she comes to work and leaves it knowing she has put in a good effort." Cook said the Express team recruits teenagers like Fulp for the purpose of training them and helping them to get recruited.
Gunter also commented about Fulp's tremendous talent and work ethic and said he was so pleased to see the culmination of four years result into such a victory for this town and young Cardinal player. "I am extremely impressed with her intelligence, and she will do what it takes to be a good teammate. She improves individually as well the best that she can," Gunter said.
Fulp also played on an ambassador tour for the State Department in Russia with a bilateral exchange USA team in 2011. She toured with Coach Brian Robinson of Bishop McGuinness and 10 girls and boys. She befriended many and described the difference in basketball styles. She smiled as she described the American beat and "bang" type in contrast to the finesse type played by the Russians. She recalled how happy it made her to experience that tour.
Fulp said her family and her faith in God is an integral part of her success and has held her up during times of adversity. "Without faith, I cannot have success," Fulp said.
Both grandmothers attended Wednesday showing their support just like they always have since she has been a young child and both were nearly moved to tears during the signing event. The whole thing has always been a family affair, they said.
Maternal grandmother, Annette Preston, said, "I am thrilled, Keri has worked hard for this." In good times and bad times and in sickness and health, the family has always been there for her, Preston said, and will continue to be at Wake Forest.
Paternal grandmother, Mary Smith, who also played basketball as a young woman at Shoals School, said, "This means the world to me, when she was a baby we took her to Wake Forest basketball games." Her advice has always been "to play your best and do your best and if you lose then you have done the best that you could and play as a team. As long as you do that, you do not have anything to feel guilty about," she said.
Overall, Fulp said she has learned this lesson in sports: "Do not back down from anybody," she said.

Posted 11 September 2012 - 11:50 AM
Just as an FYI, when carbon bikes came into my shop with scratches, I usually used fingernail polish enamel to seal up the hole, to stop water penetration, and stave off any crack propagation. If you are REALLY concerned about the finish of your tank after you've dinged it, you can do like we did on 5-10k+ bikes, and use a bit of toothpaste and dental floss to polish it like new. The toothpaste has just enough grit to make a really fine polish.

My Dodrio holds a Salac Berry. It's ability is Early Bird. It knows:
Endeavor: Part of a strategy. Makes opponent have only one HP when Dodrio has one HP.
Endure: Stops my Pokemon from being defeated, leaving me with one HP.
Rest: Heals my Pokemon after Endeavor. My Dodrio will wake up after only one turn.
Double Team: Makes it less likely that the foe will hit Dodrio after using Endeavor.
Dodrio Learnset
Drill Peck:High attack power, STAB Steel Wing:Takes advantage of high attack, used against Rock types Roost:Self explanatory I would use a status move, such as Toxic etc.
Dodrio Adamant nature Leftovers Early Bird
Drill Peck Roost Facade Steel Wing
I love dodrio a lot, this is usually the move set I use for it. It always dominates, but sometimes I will give it fly instead of steel wing. Drill Peck: A great STAB move and one of the best flying type moves dodrio can learn (#1 levelling up) Roost: Heal up if low on HP Facade: Has 70 power, it is a physical move, and dodrio is a physical attacker. This is also STAB because dodrio is part normal. That equals to 105 power so far. If dodrio has a status problem Facade will double its power, this will be 210 base power. Steel Wing: To deal with the rock type Pokemon
Gen V
Dodrio (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Early Bird
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Brave Bird provides high powered STAB. Quick Attack provides STAB priority, although it isn't very powerful, which is why Return is also used. Not like there are really any other moves for this guy. Poor movepool. Faint Attack as a move further shows this, I just ran out of stuff to put. Life Orb can maybe help this guy KO one foe. Early Bird is there because obviously the foe is trying to put this guy to sleep so that the foe can defeat an incredibly powerful Pokemon such as this. Seriously though, it's the best of the worst for abilities. Sweeping EVs.
Dodrio (M) @ Power Herb
Role: Planner
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Atk / 96 Spd
This guy is quite strange, and I love using weird sets like this.
He Actually Pulls off the Power Herb Sky Attack Strategy of you Plan things out right, and can set up Agility, Brave Bird is a classically Beast Move, and Pursuit is just there for Added coverage on the switch, but you could easily Switch it to Faint Attack without hurting the set value.
Ps. For those who don't know,
Power herb = 1 Turn Sky Attack
Item: Leftovers/Life-orb Ability: Early Bird Nature: Jolly/Adamant EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Hp
Drill-peck Steel-wing Body-slam Agility/Work-up
Drill-peck is reliable and accurate STAB. Steel-wing provides coverage over Ice and Rock type Pokemon. Body-slam is STAB though not the strongest Normal type move he can learn it is the best IMO because it can paralyze the foe. Agility is for if you go with Life-orb and Adamant because you will need the extra speed, Work-up is for if you go with Leftovers and Jolly as it makes up for the lack of power, I find that Work-up is better because Body-slam also helps with the not as much speed as Agility thing. Because this set has some moves that it is hard to get in Gen V I will say how they can each be obtained. Drill-peck Level 47, Steel-wing Gen IV Tm, Body-slam Gen III move tutor, Agility Level 41, Work-up Gen V Tm.
Double/Triple Battle
Dodrio (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Tangled Feet EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Assurance - Thrash - Brave Bird - Frustration
Assurance gets more power if the foe has taken damage already, which is good in multi-battles. Thrash is interesting. Dodrio has decent Attack boosted by a Choice Band, and Thrash gets STAB. So it can do some damage. Team it up with a Ghost type to be safe from that random attacking. Once Thrash is done, Dodrio will be confused, which will raise its evasion thanks to Tangled Feet. You can also activate Tangled Feet by using Swagger on it. Brave Bird is STAB that can hit any foe in a Triple battle. Frustration is STAB in case you don't want to be stuck with Thrash.

Ghost World is the seventh episode of the Third Season and the fifty-first episode in the series.

SPIRITS AT THE NIGHT OF ILLUMINATION — As Mystic Falls prepares to celebrate the traditional Illumination Night, the town is invaded by spirits of the dead. After a particularly violent encounter with an angry spirit, Damon asks Bonnie to find the reason behind the ghosts' surprising power. Elena convinces Jeremy to use his connection to the other side to help her find a new way to reach Stefan, leading Jeremy to a terrible choice. Finally, Alaric discovers a long-hidden lead to the past.
Damon is seen tied to a chair with chains, and a poker in his chest. He notices his ring is on the ground, and tells Stefan that's a low blow; Stefan comes in, telling him he didn't do any of that. Stefan plucks the poker out, and rips off the binds on his hands, but leaves him chained. Mason, standing in the shadows, opens the curtains and lets Damon burn for a while.
It is the Night of Illumination in Mystic Falls and everyone is helping out, hanging paper lanterns. Carol Lockwood introduces Tobias Fell, who gives a history lesson. Jeremy asks Alaric what they are doing there, where Alaric explains Tobias is the head of the history department, and why he's there. Elena joins them and asks what she has missed, Anna (who is tethered to Jeremy still) gives a witty reply which Elena can't hear, but Jeremy said she missed nothing. He laughs at something Anna says, which confuses Elena. Anna smiles, and takes Jeremy's hand.Caroline asks Bonnie whether the spell she did would get of Anna too, which she replies no, and explains Jeremy still has a direct line to the Other Side, and could see Anna whenever he wished. Bonnie says she took a risk bringing Jeremy back, and was now paying the consequences for it. Damon arrives in his car, and tells Bonnie that she messed up during her spell, because Mason Lockwood is now after him for revenge. At the Mystic Grill, Elena asks for Jeremy's help with Stefan, wondering if he could contact Lexi – Lexi always had a way to bring Stefan back from his ripper ways. Jeremy said he's not sure if she's even on The Other Side, and he had no previous connection to her whatsoever.Bonnie asks Matt whether he's contacted Vicki again, and he swears he hasn't. Caroline asks why she thinks it's Vicki and not Mason, to which she replies that if any other ghost has a foothold, something is very wrong. Bonnie grabs her bag but her grimoire falls out, and it flips open to a Manifestation spell, used to reveal veil matter – ghosts.Alaric is no too comfortable with the idea of bringing back dead vampires, seeing as they already have enough vampires as it is. Anna silently tells Jeremy that not all ghosts go to the other side, that some find peace. Stefan joins them at the table, picking up his diaries, wondering how he could have cared so much. Stefan tells Elena it would be better if she moved on and let go of her feelings of him. At the place where the witches were burned Bonnie and Caroline start setting up to do the Manifestation spell.Jeremy questions Anna why she didn't want Elena to know that she was there, and Anna replies that she wouldn't like it seeing as Bonnie is Elena's best friend. Jeremy is extremely confused with his feelings, tells Anna he always loved her, and kisses her. Bonnie does the spell, and Grams appears to her, holding her hands – all over town, ghosts of previous vampires start to appear. Elena walks in on Jeremy and Anna kissing, finally being able to see her again. Lexi appears to Stefan who's shocked. Mason appears to Damon and Alaric at the grill, and knocks him over the head with a glass. Lexi tells Stefan his off the rails, and that while she's materialized in the real world, she'll help him out of his mess. Lexi knocks Stefan unconscious after he refuses her help. Bonnie is emotional at seeing her Grams. Sheila tells Bonnie that the Original Witch unleashed everyone who had unfinished business – she has to close the "door", by destroying the Talisman of the Original Witch. Anna overhears Caroline and Elena on the phone talking about the necklace, and she disappears. Elena walks out and bumps into Lexi, where she thanks her for thinking about her that day, bringing her back. Lexi tells Elena to come with her, as she could help Stefan. Mason tells Damon he's not after revenge, but an apology. The truth is he's there to help Tyler. Mason heard of a way to be able to kill an Original, and that the secrets are in the old Lockwood basement. In the City Jail, Lexi has tied Stefan to the torture chair. Lexi looks Stefan in the eyes and gets inside his head, making him hallucinate. Damon goes to the basement where Mason is waiting for him, and they break through a wall, which reveals a tunnel, which they start to climb through. Stefan is starting to struggle, screaming to get out, and Lexi starts to count the total years he's been without blood as he's hallucinating. Caroline calls Elena and tells her the necklace isn't where Damon said it would be. Elena says they should hold off on stopping the ghosts, and they need to help Stefan. Jeremy is shown to be searching for Anna. Frederick walks over to where Anna is standing in the celebrations, saying they have some unfinished business with the Founding Families. A scream erupts, and Tobias Fell is shown, dangling from a tree, dead. Stefan is starting to beg Elena to release him, he's sorry and that he loves her. Lexi warns her that he'd say anything to get out of there not. She goes on to say that he's now getting past the blood and he could feel things – she demonstrates this by stabbing him on the arm. Elena rushes off, not being able to handle it. Walking around the corner, she is greeted by ambulance lights and a body being taken away. Caroline and Bonnie are still searching for the necklace, but not finding it anywhere in the Salvatore house. Caroline gets a suspicion that Anna could have perhaps taken it, and asks Jeremy is she perhaps has it. She tells him no. Back in the caves, Mason is leading Damon through the tunnel. Damon walks forward and is struck by stakes, puncturing him in the sides. Elena confronts Jeremy about Anna being missing, and that she was the only one who knew about the necklace being needed to send the ghosts away. Jeremy fesses up and tells Elena he can touch Anna, and that he loves her and always will. Elena asks him whether he will love a ghost for the rest of his life. Anna reappears and Elena tells her she's holding Jeremy back. Anna holds up the necklace for them to see, and Elena instructs Jeremy to call Bonnie with the news that they have the necklace and can send the ghosts away. Mason comes back to Damon and breaks off the stakes. Damon can't believe that Mason isn't after revenge, but redemption. Mason only wants to help Tyler. Bonnie and Caroline drive back to the Witch House, but see Carol Lockwood's car, and the tomb vampires approaching it. Caroline gets out, and attacks. Jeremy tells Anna that they will still be able to see each other afterwards, and that they have nothing to worry about. Anna says that it should be the end, and that she is holding him back from his life. She is sorry she took the necklace, but hoped that with the tomb vampires out, maybe she would get to see her mother. Lexi repeatedly stabs Stefan with a stake – Elena enters and tells her they are running out of time, and the necklace will be destroyed. Lexi uses the necklace as determination, telling Stefan to focus on that as it once gave him hope. Damon cannot get into the small cavern, as it somehow looks like he has to be invited in. Mason goes on ahead of him to look at the cave walls. Bonnie starts to recite the spell, and her Grams joins her, resulting in the necklace being destroyed in the fire. Caroline is seen fighting off the tomb vampires. Frederick gets a hold on her neck, but he disappears, along with Mason in the cave, and Lexi, at the city jail. Anna sees her mother, Pearl, and they embrace, disappearing together finally able to rest in peace. Grams is the last to disappear, telling Bonnie she is very proud of her. In the caves, Alaric arrives to help Damon out. Damon again gives the same apology he gave Mason Lockwood, but genuinely meaning it. In the city jail, Stefan asks Elena what she's gonna do now, and if she's gonna wait till he dries out. Elena says that she'll go home, and be the support her friends need right now. She's is headstrong and still has hope for him. Elena comes to stand right in front of Stefan, telling him to fight for it, to feel something, because if he doesn't, he will lose her forever. "I won't love a ghost for the rest of my life," she says to him. Jeremy goes to Bonnie, telling her he is sorry. She sends him away, not being able to handle his betrayal. Noises and sparks erupt from the fireplace, and on closer examination, Bonnie sees the necklace's quality is restored. In the cave, Alaric found drawings on the wall, yet doesn't know what they are. |

Econ 102
He is the most entertaining and engaging professor I have ever had (till now). There are very few bad things to say about him, if anything. He makes the concepts easy to understand and he makes it worth it to wake up at 7 and attend an 8am class. I decided to minor in econ after taking his class. He is a great professor.
I love Dirk and his teaching style, but disappointed with the way he handled the final. Some people didn't get out of there until an hour after they were done. Also, he didn't put up an answer key and i missed an A by two questions, when i thought I killed the final. Upset I didn't get an A cuz i started hard
Seriously the best professor at Penn State. You can tell he genuinely loves his job and what he teaches. I didn't mind having to get up at 945 to go to class, especially when there was a possibility you could win donuts... if you take econ and have the opportunity to take it with professor Mateer. DO IT.
Awesome professor. i have fallen in love with econ because of him. my best professor ever
What a guy! To engage a class of 200+ students while teaching them is no easy task but Dirk knows how to handle them. Do what you're supposed to and you'll enjoy the class while getting a good grade. High caliber professor would take any class with him again.
Awesome teacher! He makes a boring subject really interesting by showing funny videos in class and having students participate in in-class activities. He also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities so go to class and take advantage of the 110% for participation.
to be honest, i wasn't interested a lot about econ until I took this class. His tests are fair. He is a very unpredictable guy. keeps the class engaged. funnnnnnny
If you want an easy A take this class. He provides review questions before exams that are pretty much verbatim to what is on the exam. Just as a heads up the class really doesn't prepare you that much for other Econ classes. Just cause you love his class doesn't mean you should be an Econ major.
Hes okay. Thinks he's better than he is as a teacher. He is helpful but extremely strict on rules and expectations.
What a reliefe from all my engineering classes. Easy A for engineering students. Dirk is a good teacher and Econ is a really easy subject in my opinion.
he's good, international students might have some difficulty with his tests. But overall he was good
Dirk made my 8am class interesting, and I didn't miss one. I am so glad to have had him, and would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Dirk is a great guy! He makes class fun and interesting and gives you plenty of opportunities to do well. He even has his own website with lectures and videos on it! Best class!
It is easy to get the 110% of participation if you go to class (you can probably skip 5 times and still get it). He puts up review questions before each exam and he has his own textbook online which is helpful. Test grades reflect how much you study so it's fair. He's entertaining so it's worthwhile to go to class and get the notes.
Dirk was honestly one of the best teachers I've had. I went to Lion Tutors before each exam, because some of the material is really difficult, but overall, I loved going to class. Also, you have a potential 110% extra credit points if you attend enough classes and participate. Don't leave PSU without taking ECON 102 with Dirk!
Really nice guy. Interesting class, but you need to study hard for exams. He is a great professor and incorporates tons of pop culture examples and fun games to make the class interesting. If you have to take econ, you want to take it with this guy.
Hes a great teacher, uses many methods to help you learn, such as demonstrations and text in answers. Probably the best ECON teach you can get.
Take the class with Dirk and you will understand the concepts crystal clear; he is good at "dumbing down" the info for you. Don't even bother buying the textbook; instead, read HIS book online because it's like reading his lecture and it's easy to follow along. If you come to class, participate, and just listen, you should get

"출장시에 유용한 호텔"2013년01월30일, Hotels.com 고객 이용 후기
도랄지역으로 출장을 가면서 여러 호텔을 검색한 끝에 공항과 출장지에 가깝다는 이유로 이 호텔을 이용하게 되었습니다. 대략 일주일 가량 머물렀는데, 일단 직원들이 굉장히 친절하고 로비에 24시간 이용가능한 조그마한 스토어(?)가 있다는 점이 인상 깊었습니다. 관광을 목적으로 한다면 마이애미 해변까지 대략 택시로 30분 정도 소요되서 적합하지는 않을것 같고, 출장이 목적이라면 정말 좋습니다. 다만 택시를 매번 프런트에 부탁해야 한다는 점이 조금 불편하긴 합니다. 물론 택시 콜을 부탁하면 10분이내에 탑승은 가능합니다. 또한 호텔 바로 옆에 몰하고 주유소 편의점이 있어서 편리하게 이용가능합니다. 전반적으로 좋았고, 공항에도 가까워서 다음 출장시에도 이용할 생각입니다.

"A classy and quiet choice in a good location."
If you want a more quiet experience in South Beach, this is a good choice. Rooftop deck overlooking ocean is a great spot. Good fitness room, nice pool area.

One day room didn't get cleaned though I was out of the […] room for about 6 hours. The room I had was fairly quiet though it was next to an alley so not the greatest view.

The Betsy is a lovely hotel, the staff is very attentive were helpful to us. The room was on the small side, but had the most comfortable bed ever. The hotel has a lot of boutique style touches like a small library in each room, really nice bath products and original artwork throughout the hotel. The on site restaurant is a bit expensive, but the food […] is really good (unlike some of the other tourist trap style restaurants on Ocean drive that are just as costly!) The rooftop is nice for lounging and sunbathing and has an excellent view of the ocean along with a bar. The chairs and umbrella service for the beach was also great and only a short walk across the street. My husband and I had a wonderful time at this elegant, but laid back hotel.

This hotel is pretty, inviting, and well maintained. It stands out from the rest on Ocean Drive. Unfortunately, my husband and I were disappointed in some aspects. First, we were not satisfied with our breakfast at the hotel. (The waiter actually brought us a VERY dirty milk creamer, and the food was nothing special).

"Amazing hotel"
Absolute luxury. The Betsy is by far the best hotel I've ever stayed in, the staff are all so friendly and helpful. Located at the quieter end of Ocean drive, right opposite the beach. Theirs a section of the beach sectioned off for Betsy guests and serviced by 3 or 4 staff from 10-6, beach chairs and umbrellas are included in the $15 a day fee you […] pay on check in and the beach is amazing with warm water. The Betsy staff cannot do enough for you, the front door is always held open for you, the doorman take your bags and organise taxi's for you if necessary. The concierge know all the best restaurants/trips and are always on hand to make reservations and recommendations on your behalf. They have a turndown service which involves a maid coming into your room around 9pm and leaving a bottle of water, pulling back your covers ready for when you get back and leaving a towel and slippers for you - I've never had anything like that before, nice touch! You must try the BLT steak restaurant, my wife and I shared the 40oz sharing steak with fries and jalapeño mash and was by far the best piece of steak we'd ever had, followed by the most amazing dessert, it's a little bit of the pricey side with the bill coming in around $150 with drinks but would definitely recommend eating there at least once on your trip. If you're going to South Beach then book the Betsy, we took a look around the other hotels and nothing comes close to the look, style and service of the Betsy. 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기

"Beautiful little hotel but staff needs improvement"
The Betsy is a charming, well-located South Beach hotel. The rooms, while tiny, are nicely decorated. The linens are lovely, the bathroom products divine, the twice-daily maid service a treat. The major problem with the hotel: the sour staff. With the exception of the front desk staff and restaurant servers, the staff do not seem to understand the concept […] of "hospitality"... (I recommend that the Management head down the street to The Tides and take a lesson from them in creating an environment which radiates good cheer.) Not once during our stay did the doormen greet us with a smile and a "good morning" or "have a nice day" as we departed... There was no friendly banter from the bar staff. One barman went so far as to "teach us a lesson" by serving us a glass of water disguised as a martini when we sent back the cocktail that he clearly did not know how to make. Any competent manager would have escorted such a vindictive and unprofessional employee to the door. I don't know what exactly the problem is but they need to fix it. And when they do, this will be a terrific place to stay! 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
베치 호텔 (The Betsy - South Beach)의 답변 Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your recent stay with us. We value our Guests' opinions very highly, and when an unusual occurence such as what you describe occurs, it is very important for us to hear about it. As you can see from many of our reviews, our staff is one of our most appreciated assets, and I am sorry that this was not your experience. I would be happy to discuss this issue with you further, and to hopefully have another opportunity for you to experience a more typical Betsy stay, one filled with only fond memories.
""Courteous, friendly service""

"Beautiful hotel, great service, excellent location. What more could you ask for?"
The reveiws I read about this hotel were all spot on! It is a beautiful hotel outside and inside and it well situated at the top of Ocean Drive. The staff were very helpful and we were made to feel welcome from check in to check out. The bar area downstairs is great and the BLT restaurant is fantastic! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
"great service, great location"
The hotel was very nice. Customer service was outstanding. The restaurant was incredible. Downside is that for the cost ($$$$) the rooms were small with no drawers, no chair and a walk in shower that is problematic. There were also no real amenities. The pool was tiny and not used the entire time we were there by anyone. They would have been better […] off to make that area a nice courtyard with plantings, tables for outside seating of the restaurant, etc. I can't say enough about the staff however. With the exception of the male concierge everyone was extremely nice, accomodating and made us feel very welcome and special. 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기

"Wonderful experience"
Very nice boutique hotel, great area with a park at the front door an a minute walk to the beach. The restaurant is extremely good for any of the meal (we had breakfast and dinner and we were extremely satisfied). Very close to all the Miami Beach action but far enough not to hear any noise at night!검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
""The Betsy Hotel -- A Must Stay!""
My wife and I like to travel and as a result stayed in many fine hotels in the U.S. and around the world. We were pleasantly surprised during our stay at Betsy. This hotel has the amenities of a five star hotel, yet the feel of intimacy and the personalized service that can only be received in a boutique hotel. From the moment we arrived and throughout […] our stay, the staff was above the100% !!!! mark: friendly, eager to help and professional. The warm welcome started at the front desk and continued through our entire stay. The concierge service was really and truly outstanding. The rooms are beautifully designed, the lobby and the bar area are nice and inviting, the rooftop terrace is an ideal place to relax. The beach is just steps away (complete with chairs, umbrellas, and towels reserved exclusively for Betsy guests). The location is perfect – just steps away from the hustling and bustling area, yet far enough to block out the noise. We loved the stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. Thanks Betsy – looking forward to our next visit! 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
"Just brilliant."
If you want pure luxury this is your hotel, fab staff and excellent location. I highly recommend The Betsy Ross. I will be returning .검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
"NOT My Cup of Tea..."
Overpriced. I am biased, because I am used to being spoiled when I travel. I like to be treated politely and with great customer service. My biggest complaint was the customer service. People were rude, and stared at my husband and I if we weren't dressed a certain way. We came in from the beach and someone stopped me to ask if we "belonged" to the […] hotel. The Betsy was small and eco friendly (not my thing). No shower door, no options to watch movies in the room, tiny room, hallways were hot, crappy pool. They did have books and games for rent and purchase (again, not my thing). The pool is enclosed by walls, so not the best space to get sun. Beach was close and was much better than going to the pool. The restaurant was good - BLT is recommended. Overall I would rate this hotel a 4 out of 10. I have never provided a rating before, but I felt strongly enough about this one to say something. I hope it is helpful to someone. Enjoy! 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
베치 호텔 (The Betsy - South Beach)의 답변 Dear Traveler from St. Louis, Thank you (honestly) for taking the time to submit an online comment. For me, the saddest part about your comment was that you felt that we were un-welcoming. This is simply not the case, as our Guests range in all demographics to both extremes of affluence, culture, ethnicity, etc. We have a very diverse hotel -both in our staff and our Guests! I am so sorry that you felt this way, and would welcome the opportunity to make this up to you on a future visit. It really does matter. I notice that you didn't mention our glorious roof deck for sunning when the sun doesn't fall on the pool - actually, many people appreciate the privacy of our pool area for a quiet getaway from all of the excitement of Ocean Drive and South Beach. Aside from the Roof Deck, I am happy that you seemed pleased with our restuarant, BLT. The Betsy is intimate, but with no shortage of services - the rooftop spa, the library, the incredible dining opportunities, our Art Gallery. I regret that you did not get to experience what most of our Guests do while at the Betsy. We take our Guests and our service very seriously and very personally at the Betsy. I hope that you give us the chance to show you a more typical stay. Even if not, I remain at your service any time that you are visiting the Miami Beach area!
"Great aniversary weekend"
The Besty was a great choice for an anniversary weekend in Miami. The location at the end of Ocean drive was within walking distance to restaurants and bars on Ocean and Lincoln Rd. The beach is a walk across the street. The decor with its dark woods and plantation shutters felt very cuban. Would not recommend eating at the hotel. Food is overpriced. […] Service was great. 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
"Close to where the beach and where the action is"
We stayed at the Betsy from Sept 23 - 26. Check in was fast and easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food at the hotel was very pricey. Explore the neighborhood for wider and cheaper variety of food. Check out Lincoln Road. If you're a drinker check out Wet Willies. The hotel was across the street from the hotel and within walking distance to everything, […] no need for a car. 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기

Rome, 56 BC. The great general Pompey has conquered the East; Julius Caesar is defeating the Gauls; only Egypt, with its strategic granaries and vast treasuries of gold, still eludes the grasp of Rome. The city itself is becoming ever more corrupt, as the last generation of the Roman Republic indulges in political backstabbing, endless lawsuits, scandalous love affairs, and the occasional murder.
In recent days several Egyptian envoys have been viciously assassinated. Fearing that he will be next, the Egyptian ambassador, Dio, calls on his old friend Gordianus the Finder and all of his special skills for help - but before the night is out, Dio is murdered.
Now Gordianus begins his most dangerous case. Hired to investigate Dio's death by a beautiful woman with a scandalous reputation, he will follow a trail of political intrigue into the highest circles of power and the city's most hidden arenas of debauchery. There Gordianus will learn that nothing is as it seems - not the damning evidence he uncovers, not the suspect he sends to trial, not even the real truth behind Dio's death.
Poison, betrayals, and long-buried secrets confront Gordianus as one of history's most famous trials races to a close. But even after the verdict is delivered, there are secrets still to be uncovered.
