A lot of us are not sure of the secrets in achieving a happy life. We all have our indifferences. Happiness is something that each person should work for. But, in order to be happy, one needs to deal with anxiety, anger, frustration, pressure, and defeat. You will be happy if you want to. But, if you allow all the negatives to control your life, you won't be happy. Just look at the brighter side of life. Frustrations are just a part of it. You should know how to run your life. The secret is really not on how much you have or how far you have reached but on how contented you are. If you feel like you are stressed everyday, try newest approaches. Here are some ideas to make you a happy person.
Focus on the positives
Stop worrying about something. If work deadlines are to kill you, forget about them. They won't make you happy rather stress you. Focus on positive things. Invite your family to dine out. Shop for new clothes and get a new hairdo. Think of redesigning your room. Focus on things that excite you – food, people, hobby, conversations, work, etc.
Face your problems
Problems are usual. They are to make your life exciting. They come and go. Instead of minding them, find a solution. Its either you solve your own problems or get help. Learn to laugh at your mistakes. They'll make you a better man. Face your problems instead of ignoring them. If you already know how to run your life despite the adversities, you'll be happy.
Listen to good music
Music is soothing to the soul. It is something that relaxes you whenever you are stressed out, depressed or in pain. Avid music listeners usually have lower heart rates and blood pressure. Music offers therapeutic effect both to the mind and body. It is moving. It has the power to make you smile.
Organize your life
Write down the tasks that you enjoy doing. Organize your schedule to avoid panicking. Set right priorities. Declutter as much as possible. Get rid of activities that you don't like. Don't pretend that you enjoy doing things that you really don't want. More importantly, learn to say no whenever needed. If you organize your life, there's no reason not to be happy.
There you go! The secrets to happy life are simpler, right? You don't need to buy them. But, it's more important to accept who you are and what you have.

Recordset Only Returning Five Records When It Should Be Returning 466
Doing this in excel with VBA. Haven't working in VBA for a very long time but can't see why I'm getting these results.
I run this sql in query analizer and I get 466 records back but when the same sql runs in vba I only get five records back. I checked the conn string to make sure I was running against the correct db. Is it that I'm not setting up my recordset object correctly?

I'm using the following command to make a sum from a range of cells.
Dim Pa As Integer
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 5) = WorksheetFunction.Sum(Sheets("BOMA").Range("F5", Sheets("BOMA").Cells(Range("F65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1, 6)))
Pa = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 5)
The program return an error and stops at Pa = ....
Debug shows that Pa = 0 even though the sum in this cell are something else.

Returning From A Sub
Can any one tell me is there a way to return from a sub function
such as:
sub Replace()
end sub
is there a way to return to the place in another function where I called this sub from?
if not is there another way I can run the same procuder and come back to my starting point?

I would like to use this sub like..

Returning A Value From An Exe
I am trying to make an exe which returns a value to the command prompt when run through the command line. I am using cmd line parameters..
Mts, Vb6, W2k, Not Returning
It's only been a week and it's time for me to throw this out to bigger brains then mine.
I have a vb6 app that uses MTS objects to retrieve data and do other nifty db stuff. When it was on nt4 I wrote a report engine that used MTS and generated a html report for the user. Dam* users now want me to implement it on w2k.
I register the dll in component services, run the control on the client that calls it:
VB Code:
Set obj = CreateObject("RDS.DataSpace") Set report = obj.CreateObject("DCISReportEngine.Report", sServer) 'Set report = obj.CreateObject("DCISReportEngine.Report", "localhost") 'should return report url strURL = report.GenerateReport(Conn, sServer, sSQL, sRepDef, boolDup, boolGroup)
Now running locally it runs fine. But when the code above runs it creates the object (starts the package running on the server) but
returns a null string. It should return a string with a url in it.
So I ask what am I not getting? I added a log file to the MTS dll and it doesn't create the log so I'd guess it doesn't run.
But nothing tells me that it doesn't.
Suggestions? Mine regarding giving back my nt4 have gone unanswered.
Thanks for your time,
Returning Value From Exe
Thanks for reading. I want a VB exe which should return a value say some success or failure regarding the operation happening inside it. Just like a C++ program returning a value to the console. And I want my java program to read this. How can I return the value from my VB program?
I Really Don't Know (returning A Value)
My problem is kinda complicated. I have made my own msgbox because the normal msgbox freezes my program and that's not good. But now I can call the function. This opens a form and if it's already openend it put's the info into a type MSGINFO. So far so good. That form raises an event to tell if a button got clicked. Now when that happends I want to return the value to where the sub got called. And that's not possible (I think). But I don't want the sub wich calls the msgbox form to use something like:
LOOP until Clicked
and then save in the boolean clicked if it got clicked cause that uses to much resources and gives up to much time. It's kinda complicated but I hope someone has got an answer.

API Returning Nothing
I got a few problems...
What do you do when you use a GetText Function to get the text on a window and nothing comes back? Like you know for a fact your code is right and bug free. I thinking the window has something blocking API or something. Some windows and objects dont let you use API on them is that possible? Some windows/objects you can't hide. Like Ad bars that dock on ur computer and stuff. How can you hide em? Also I know of one window i have you can SEE it has a title bar and a caption in it, but an API spy can get it's caption.
- How do you get around all of this? -
- How can I hide the windows i want to hide, and get text from objects that have text in em like a text box or maybe password box, or even a label, and captions? -
Maybe theres something I would use instad of API??
Please help...
My GetText Function:
Public Function GetText(WindowHandle As Long) As String
Dim TheText As String, TL As Long
TL = SendMessageLong(WindowHandle, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, 0&, 0&)
TheText = String(TL + 1, " ")
Call SendMessageByString(WindowHandle, WM_GETTEXT, TL + 1, TheText)
TheText = Left(TheText, TL)
GetText$ = TheText
End Function
Returning A Value
So I'm working on my gradebook programme. As mentioned in other posts I'm a teacher though not of computers - that's just a hobby.
I have a form with 5 textboxes in an array txtMark(0), txtMark(1) etc.
Each one contains a mark for a quiz. Now, if a student is missing a mark due to absence or something I want to recalculate the average based on the number of marks available. If there are only 4 marks then the divisor for that average should be 4.
Here is my code for the command button to calculate the average
Private Sub cmdAverage_Click()
intDivisor = txtMark().Count 'sets the divisor to the same number as there are textboxes
ReCalc (intDivisor)
Dim i As Integer
intTotal = Val(txtMark(0).Text) + Val(txtMark(1).Text) + Val(txtMark(2)) + Val(txtMark(3)) + Val(txtMark(4))
'I know that line is clumsy - I'll tidy it up later
txtAverage = CInt(intTotal / intDivisor)
End Sub
I also have a function ReCalc which is supposed to iterate through the text boxes and if any of them are empty, the divisor should be reduced accordingly:
Public Function ReCalc(intDivisor) As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim ctr As Integer
ctr = 0
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Controls
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then
If ctl.Text = "" Then
ctr = ctr + 1 ' supposed to count how many text boxes are empty
intDivisor = intDivisor - ctr 'supposed to reduce the divisor by the number of textboxes that are empty
End If
End If
Next ctl
End Function
Unfortunately it just doesn't work. intTotal is always divided by 5 regardless of how many textboxes contain text. I'm not getting any errors so it must be a logic error but I can't see it. Any help?
Thanks For Returning...

Returning Mouse Down
Hey, I'm making a game and I have a bunch of Shapes on my form. When a user clicks on one of the shapes I would like it to return which shape it is so I can add a color to the shape that is clicked.
o o o o o <----Shapes (In an array 0-4) called shapePeg
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ <----Colored Shapes named shpRed, shpYellow, shpBlue, shp Green shpOrange
now say the user clicks on the shapePeg(2) shape, I want it to return that shape so that when the user clicks on one of the color shapes, the color will then go into the shapePeg(2)
I hope it isn't to confusing.
Help Returning Line Set?
Hi, i have the following problem.
I have a 6 multine textboxes not linked to eachother in any way, EXCEPT.. that they contain information wich is related to eachother..
like this :
text1: text2: text3: etc
info1 info2 info3
info1 info2 info3
info1 info2 info3
info1 info2 info3
as you can see, the first line of text1 .. contains information relevant to the same line in text2/text3/text4/text5/text6.
if you still dont understand 1 more example :
say we have a chair.. and we put it in a table.
colour type serial
blue antique 123-3472
red old-style 234-4567
now i want those information bits to be linked to eachother by counting the lines on wich they exist.
say i would want to see what would exist on lines 100~200
so therefor i would need it to do this :
1. Count the lines in text1 , start reading from line 100 .. and stop at line 200
2. print those in any way ( im going to write them to a textfile ).
3. then do point 1 for text2 till text6. and print those also.
how would i go by this?
i know how to count the lines and all that
Private Sub Count_Click()
Dim Pieces1() As String
Dim string1 As String
Dim lines As Integer
Dim i As Integer
string1 = Text1.Text
Pieces1 = Split(string1, vbNewLine)
For i = LBound(Pieces1) To UBound(Pieces1)
lines = lines + 1
Count.Text = lines
Next i
End Sub
but then i wouldnt know how to read the content of that single line, and even how to read multiple lines.
Please help me with this!
thank you

Old Toolbar Keeps Returning
Hi all,
Has anybody had problems changing to a later version of a custom toolbar.
I have a toolbar that has a menu on it, once an option is clicked it runs a small VBA program. This toolbar was attached the workbook and when opened appeared on the receiving PC.
I added some more options a while ago and I had a lot of problems getting the new toolbar to appear. Again I've added more options and now I'm pulling my hair out because the toolbar is reverting back the original one, version 1.....
I've asked the user to delete the original file and toolbar. There is now nothing on the machine relating to my custom toolbar. I have then deleted the attached toobars from my workbook and saved. Next step is to reattach the latest toolbar to my workbook.
Again the user still gets the old toolbar from 2 versions ago.
VBA: Returning The Top 'x' Results.
I need to display 'x' number of results.
The 'x' is user defined.
The results are generated by a Query then displayed by a report.
I have tried the SQL TOP command, but it appears you cannot link that to an input box located on a Form direct to the Query.
I have tried to generate an incrementing number field in the query, but this was also to no avail. If this would have worked then I could simply limit the amount to display.
Any ideas on this are greatly appreciated.
Returning A Value, Not A Formula
Hey all, I need a little help with something pretty basic. I have a macro that performs a simple calculation. How do I return only the result, the integer information, to the cell without the formula tracking along with it?
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C+1"
Thanks for any help on this!
XLS MsgBox Returning A Value
I'm an idiot. I'm sure this is a super easy fix and I'm just overlooking something.
Heres what I have
Private Sub Validate()
Dim EmpName As String
EmpName = Range("B2").Value
Ans = MsgBox("Are you" & " EmpName " & "?", vbYesNo, "Validating")
Select Case Ans
Case vbYes
' Code for yes
Case vbNo
Call GetName
End Select
End Sub
The Message box shows "Are you EmpName?" It doesn't show like, "Are you DrSwaity?" if thats what was in B2. I think it looks good, but obviously not.
One consideration is B2 contains a "=vlookup" formula. There is a value in the cell...
Anyways, thanks in advance!
Returning A String From A VB6 Std DLL
I have created a standard (not ActiveX) DLL from VB6 and am trying to return a string to the calling application from the DLL function.

Returning Focus To VB
I have a VB program which instructs an Application (AutoCAD), to do a number of things, including "zoomAll". THis sets the focus on the AutoCAD application. Then to proceed with the VB program's Code, I always have to manually click on the VB interface. This returns the focus to the VB program and so teh VB code is resumed.
The problem this is to be a server program so I need ensure that the focus is returned to the VB program automatically.....Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

(similar to the return variable command in Java)
Dir Function Returning . And ..
I'm using the dir function to populate an array with the names of folders on a drive. It works fine if you specify the root folder
sFolders = Dir("f:", vbDirectory)
but if i specify a subdirectory, like this

it lists all the subdirectories off of f:sub but it also lists "." and ".." for the first two elements of my array.
Is there a way to stop this?
Also, is there a difference between dir() and dir$()

Returning A Pointer From A DLL

Returning Values From A VB Exe
Hi All,
I am trying to write an exe file (required by a 3rd party vendor I am integrating my system with) that accepts an arguement (the ID of a particular record in a database) and select the values from the tuple associated with the ID from the database, concatenate the selected fields and return this concatenated string.
Is this at all possible. I mean if i create a standard exe, it is the form_load that runs and since it is a Sub it cannot return a value. I cannot use a dll because the vendor explicity states that an executable (exe) file must be used. It is their system that calls my exe file and I do not have control over how it calls my file. All it does it call my file with an input paramenter and expects the string returned when it calls the exe.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am a novice to VB and I do apologise if my question sounds silly.
Thanks a million.

Returning DOS App Results
Is there a function to return the results of a DOS program into a variable? eg,
xxx ("C:windowssystem32ping.exe google.com", result) would return the output you'd get if you typed that into a dos prompt into variable result? Thanks
Returning Key Value From A Collection
Is there a way to return the key values from a collection?
Here's some code to illustrate what I mean:
Public Sub Save()
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject, ts As TextStream
Dim outputLine As String, i As Integer, setting As String
Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(mFilename)
For Each setting In Settings
outputLine = setting.key & "=" & setting '<- if only this worked....
ts.WriteLine outputLine
Next setting
Set ts = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Sub
Of course, the setting.key is invalid. What I want to do is find both the value of each member of a collection, and also the value of the key for each member. I supose I could just rewite the class to store the key and value in a small array, but I was hoping to make a shortcut in this way...
Any suggestions?

Returning Control From A DLL
I have an ActiveX DLL written in VB which is very interactive. From the calling code I can pass and receive data ok. All works fairly well, but my big, big, big problem is that I don't know how to instruct the calling logic to wait until the interactive parts on the DLL are complete.
How do I suspend execution until such time as I enter everything through the calling DLL.
Thanks for any help received in advance.
Dll Returning A Handle
1) I wrote a dll that opens a new window, plays a flash file

2) I wrote an app that calls the function that creates the new

the function in the dll dosen't return the handle - it Returns nothing!
the dll code:
Public Function FunctionName( byVal ArgList....)
end function
what am i missing?
Returning 8 Characters From 13
I wanna display 8 characters from a 34 characters long string:
"This is a 26 long character string"
and i only want this part:
"This is "
how do I do that?
Returning Arrays?
Is it possible for a function to return an array of values (specifically, an array of Bytes)? Here is my current code.
Public Function bAdd(ByRef b1() As Byte, ByRef b2() As Byte, ByRef bOut() As Byte) As Boolean
You pass it three arrays total (which can all be the same if you wish), and bOut() is the result array.
To call it, it looks something like this:
bAdd b1(),b2(),bFinal()
What I want is something more 'traditiona', like this:
bFinal() = bAdd(b1(),b2())
Any hope, or am I stuck passing the array both ways instead of setting the function? Thanks
Returning Records

into the query analyzer it returns a record. When run in the code it returns nothing and a record count of -1.
Am I not doing something right here?
Dim NewCon As ADODB.Connection
Dim RS1 As New ADODB.Recordset
'Create New Connection
Set NewCon = New ADODB.Connection
'Set Connection string and open connection
With NewCon
.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=localhost;" _
& "Initial Catalog=image;User Id=sa ;Password= ;" _
& "Connect Timeout=15;Network Library=dbmssocn;"
End With
RS1.Open SQL1, NewCon
MsgBox RS1.RecordCount
DLL Returning Recordsets
I am new to COM development and have the following questions:
1. Is this the correct way to return recordset (used by ASP)?
2. Should I "Set rsObj = Nothing" in my code?
If Yes, how can ASP (which initiates the COM) use the returned recordset if it is destroyed?
If NO, will there be memory leakage?
Sample Code:
Public Function TestRs() as ADODB.Recordset
Dim rsObj As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cnObj As ADODB.Connection
set rsObj = New ADODB.Recordset
set cnObj = New ADODB.Connection
rsObj.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rsObj.Open "select * from authors",.....
Set rsObj.ActiveConnection = Nothing
Set TestRs = rsObj
Set rsObj = Nothing // Do I need this? //
Set cnObj = Nothing
End Function
Max Not Returning Anythig
Using Access20000, VB6, ADO 2.7
I' trying to use the max aggregate to return the highest key on file so that I can add another record by bumping the returned key up. I'm not getting any errors but I'm not getting anything back on the MAX. The code in use:
dim Maxno as long
dim rsSelect as string
rsSelect = " select max(custacctno) from customers group by custacctno "
adocustomerRS.open rsSelect adoconn, openkeyset, openpessimistic adcmdtext
if adocustomerRS.recordcount > 0 then
Maxno = adocustomerRS.FIelds("custacctno")
Maxno = Maxno + 100
txt_custno = Maxno
end if
After execution maxno is left with 0, and the recordcount comes back full meaning all the records are returned (56) which is all the records on file.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and or how I can go about getting the highest key on file. I thought the max could do that.
custacctno is defined as a number and the key. Using autonumber is not a choice at this point.
Thanks for your responses.
Not Returning Records
I run an sql statement designed to return records based on dates
strSELECT = "SELECT ID, Name, Number, LastAccess FROM UA#BatchReport WHERE LastAccess BETWEEN '" & StartDate & "' AND '" & EndDate & "';"
Adodc1.RecordSource = strSELECT
However this is not returning any records, it should - the info is there in the tables, I have tried it in the SQL server and got the proper result - so I can only think that there is something wrong in the code but I cant see it
If anyone else can I would appreciate any help
Returning A Value On Exit
I am trying to write a VB program (say prog1) to call another VB program (say prog2) and wait for it to close. When prog2 closes, I would like it to return a value (preferably a string) to prog1.
I have everything working except for the returning of a value, I can't work out how to do this. I have seen some examples which use ExitProcess but the Microsoft website says that this can cause problems and is unsupported. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
VB6 DLL Not Returning Any Value When Called From C++
I made a VB6 ActiveX dll. It contains a simple function that returns the integer value 10.
I tried calling it from VC++.
The CoInitialize and CoCreateInstancefunctions execute successfully, even the actual function call made using the function handle i got from the CoCreateInstance returns Success... however the last parameter which is supposed to contain the "out" value does not return the expected value 10... it remains the same value as when it was initialized.
int returnvalue = 0;
hr = Class1->ExampleFunction(¶m1, ¶m2, &returnvalue);
the returnvalue should be set to 10 but it remains 0...
please help me out

I think I might make the transition to cooking with lard or some sort of other animal fat instead of oils--party due to low smoke point and partly just to gross out my paleo-skeptical roommates by using lard.
-Are there any things to be aware of when shopping for lard/animal fat to cook with?
-What brands do you guys use?
-Any tips for rendering/storing animal fat that shows up from cooking?

Tropical Storm Warnings Lifted for Tampa Bay
The region may have escaped the worst of Isaac, which is heading toward the Florida Panhandle and Louisiana.
All tropical storm and tornado warnings have expired for the Tampa Bay area as Isaac continues to move further west over the Gulf of Mexico, forecasters said Monday.
The good news for Tampa Bay means bad news for the northern Gulf coast, as Isaac is expected to reach hurricane strength over the next 48 hours as it approaches the Florida Panhandle and Louisiana.
The National Hurricane Center warns of significant storm surge in the northern Gulf coast region, where several tropical storm and hurricane warnings are in place.
The storm was about 250 miles south of Apalachicola at 11 a.m. Monday and moving at about 14 mph. It had maximum sustained winds of up to 65 mph, forecasters said.
Locally, bands of heavy rain and wind gusts are still expected throughout the day, according to Bay News 9 meteorologist Josh Linker, but the region seems to have escaped Isaac's worst effects.
In Pinellas County, beachgoers were warned to watch out for rough surf, six- to eight-foot waves and the possibility of rip tides in the Gulf.
Public schools were closed in Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas and Sarasota counties Monday.
And the Republican National Convention opened Monday morning in downtown Tampa but with an abbreviated schedule due to the threat of the storm. The convention runs through Thursday.

Costco Wholesale Corporation Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (COST)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Costco Wholesale Corporation (Nasdaq:COST) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of A . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- COST's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 8.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- COSTCO WHOLESALE CORP has improved earnings per share by 30.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, COSTCO WHOLESALE CORP increased its bottom line by earning $3.90 versus $3.31 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.50 versus $3.90).
- The company, on the basis of net income growth from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly outperformed against the S&P 500 and exceeded that of the Food & Staples Retailing industry average. The net income increased by 30.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $320.00 million to $416.00 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 65.96% to $1,102.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 43.48%.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period. Although other factors naturally played a role, the company's strong earnings growth was key. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that the other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.

(Johnny) Johnston resigned from the Highway department January 31 after nearly two decades as director of its Public Information division. But he still is right in the middle of the movement for better Minnesota Highways.

Construction will begin as soon after the awarding of the contracts as possible, Governor Freeman announced. Building of the eight- floor structure is expected to require approximately two years. Two More Stories Possible The new building will be located in the capitol perimeter to the south and west of the State Office building. In addition to the eight full floors, it will have a partial sub-basement. The structural frame and footings are designed to carry two additional stories, should they be necessary for expansion in the future. At the ground level the building will measure 482 feet by 146 feet, with a total floor area of 350,000 square feet. It will be of feepwwrf construction with exterior facing materials primarily of Minnesota granite. The building site is located on a triangular tract of land bounded by Summit mall (recently redesignated John Ireland boulevard) on the east, Bice Street on the west, and Fuller Street on the north. The building will be connected to the State Office building and the Veterans' Service building by underground tunnels for pedestrian traffic and utility services. Divisions of the Highway department to be housed in the building are, Administration, Bridge, Construction, County, Legal, Finance, Highway Safety, including the patrol and drivers licensing; Lands and Bight of Way, Maintenance, Plans and Survey, Traffic and

"Roach City!!!!! Room 216"
Reviewed May 19, 2013
toiamichelle | Fort Myers, Florida
I read the reviews prior to reserving this hotel and thought it would be OK. I was horribly wrong. When we checked in, the lady at the front desk was really nice, so I thought this was an overall reflection of the entire hotel. I did notice the lobby needed to be cleaned, but I continued checking in. When we arrived in our room, I wasn't blown away. I didn't expect the Sheraton, but I DID expect it to be clean. It was just OK. The sheets and towels did appear to be clean. We left for a few hours and when we returned and turned the lights on, I saw a huge roach in the bathroom on the floor. I was terrified. I am extremely terrified of roaches and rodents. I chased it and killed it to prevent it from crawling on us as we slept. I went downstairs and explained that we had a roach in our room and Daile offered to switch us to a new room. We went down to the first floor room, which smelled like urine. I went back up to room 216 to finish packing my belongings and my cousin noticed a roach crawling in her bed. Then my cousin saw another roach crawling under the sink by the entrance door. Then we saw a fourth roach on the wall. I went downstairs and told Daile that we just wanted to leave. She refunded our money. As a result of this trickery, we drove around to every hotel in the surrounding area for 2.5 hours trying to find a room. The hotels were all booked. We ended up driving 30 minutes away to Dania for a hotel. I called the manager yesterday morning and she offered me one free night stay at another La Quinta. I will see if I receive the certificate in the mail. She said that people don't NORMALLY complain of multiple roaches in their room, so I guess I am not the FIRST person to complain about roaches at this particular establishment. I will NEVER stay here again EVER!!!!

My family of four used this hotel as the overnight stay before a cruise. Hotel room was small and a bit worn but served its purpose well for a one night stay. The free shuttle from the airport and to the cruise terminal is a major reason we chose this hotel and worked as advertised. The AM breakfast was tasty too - loved the waffle maker. I would stay here again if cruising out of Miami.

This hotel is definitely 1 step short of an hourly motel. It is OLD, the room doors are hard to close and the lock on my door, barely worked! When you walk in the room, there are flyers from various restaurants on the floor. I overheard the front desk advising another guest not to use/trust those. (But, those restaurants are allowed to slide the flyers under every door...WTH!!!) I could hear the people next door to me...thank goodness it was a family of 4 as opposed to a couple! Beginning at 8am I heard drilling on the other side of me. It went on for at least 4 hours! WTH!!! I called downstairs to ask what it was, they stated it was the rooms being worked on. I had to turn the TV up to LOUD AS HALE in order to hear it over the drilling. The shower curtain was ripped! The carpet was old and nasty. I slept with my clothes on, in case I had to do a quick escape. The staff was extremely nice and professional, but that would not make me return to that dump!!!

"Best choice airport hotel"
Reviewed May 13, 2013
Cathy-Ann E | Antigua
If you are in need of the best hotel, near the airport, then this is definitely it. The drive is approximately 7 minutes with traffic from the airport. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff very courteous. I always pay attention to how the front office staff handles the customers. I arrived on a Friday night with a host of pre-cruise guests (now that was a tough crowd with lots of bags and kids and noise and what looked like major confusion). The staff kept their cool and dealt with each person in turn. The front view was not the best as the property is behind what looks like a boarded up building of some sort. I found the entrance ceiling low and not quite the sunny space of other properties. However, the real value is in the short distance from the airport, the healthy start breakfast full of options, free internet and free airport shuttle. The staff really does their best to make you comfortable and meet your needs. The only disappointing thing was the vending machine advertised Welches grape juice and I ended up with grape soda (but small matter compared to all the other positive things). I would stay here any day over Red Roof Inn.

Nor'easter may bring heavy snow, strong winds to NH Friday
Winter storm watches were expanded to cover the entire state Wednesday morning for the storm, which is expected to move in Friday morning and linger into Saturday.
"I think the possibility of heavy snow is pretty good. Our recommendation is to continue to stay tuned," said John Jensenius, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
A low pressure system over the Northern Plains and a second over Texas are expected to merge into a powerful coastal storm off the Mid-Atlantic coast and then track northeast.
Jensenius said the southern and southeastern part of the state could see the highest snow totals with the strongest winds near the coast.

Employee Sues Annapolis Housing Authority for Reverse Discrimination
Katherine Ferris, who is white, claims she was discriminated against by her superiors, who are black.
A woman is suing the Housing Authority for the City of Annapolis (HACA) for $1.25 million claiming her superiors mistreated her because of her race.
Katherine Ferris, who is white, states in court documents filed in U.S. District Court on Aug. 30 that HACA's Executive Director Vincent Leggett, who is black, "engaged in racial discrimination and racially discriminatory practices," against her.
News of the lawsuit was first reported by The Capital Gazette.
The Glen Burnie resident was employed by HACA in June 2007 and started working as Leggitt's assistant in January 2011—after he was appointed executive director.
Ferris alleges that one month later, Cynthia Carter, vice chair of HACA's board, "began a campaign to oust me by sending an email of complaint regarding my competency," according to online court documents.
In her email, Carter wrote, "There is great concern over the improper way of record keeping and minute taking at Eastport Community Center ... Obviously the recording secretary and some of the board of commissioners have a serious memory recall problem ... I and others need a fair and adequate answer about the incompetent recording system of these very important meetings."
She claims that Carter attempted to humiliate her by distributing the email to "many unnecessary recipients," including, Annapolis Mayor Josh Cohen, Speaker of the House Michael Busch (D-Annapolis) and U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Towson).
Stephen Stern, the attorney representing HACA, responded in a motion to dismiss the lawsuit that Ferris was not the only person singled out for criticism in the email, and the list of recipients was valid because "political representatives" were present at the December meeting.
An email in which Carter specifically discussed being disappointed with Ferris' job performance was only sent to three people: Leggitt, HACA Chief of Staff and Security Joseph Johnson and Board Chairman Carl Snowden.
Stern's motion to dismiss further alleged that Carter's second email was also in response to an email complaint sent by Snowden regarding "administrative errors in public documents that reflect poorly on HACA."
Ferris also alleged in her complaint that she was harassed in March 2011 when HACA became a lifetime member of the NAACP. She stated that Leggitt publicly suggested that she hang the certificate on the wall above her desk.
When she objected to the idea, Ferris' complaint states that Leggitt "openly mocked" her and she was fired four days later.
She also claimed that the African-American woman who replaced her "had no experience in that field of work" and "was not otherwise qualified for the position."
Stern responded in his motion by claiming that Ferris admitted race had little to do with her termination.
He alleged that Ferris admitted her replacement was likely hired because she was a friend of Carter's and that Carter "provided the deciding vote for Mr. Leggett's appointment in a quid pro quo for Mr. Leggett to bring on her friend."
Ferris' replacement quit within two months of starting the job. Leggitt re-hired Ferris, but she claimed he downgraded the position, reducing her salary and benefits.
Neither Ferris, her attorney or Stern could be reached for comment, and it is not clear if Ferris is still employed by the housing authority.
The final incident raised in the complaint stems from a verbal dispute Ferris had with Miranda Wingate, HACA's director of Affordable Housing and Occupancy in September 2011.
Wingate allegedly "yelled repeatedly" that Ferris was "a racist" while leaving her office after an argument. Harris claims that the argument started because of the formal complaint she had already filed with the EEOC.
Ferris claims that Wingate "yelled repeatedly" that Ferris was a "racist." Ferris said the altercation arose from, "the harassment and possible retaliation for the case I have brought against HACA."
Ferris has until Jan. 14 to respond to HACA's motion to dismiss.

Hey, don't join the Mafia if you're not Italian! HACA is one of many bogus local organizations that we taxpayers are forced to fund. If HACA was closed down right now, there would be absolutely no negative result. Except its staff would have to look for bogus state jobs where you get paid simply for being black. Which isn't difficult in Maryland...

I would comment about the appalling nature of Chris S.'s post, but he has sufficiently marginalized his own credibility.
If one wants to challenge Karen's post, it would be better to ask her to furnish evidence of her allegations and/or to provide evidence to dispute them.

There truly is no such thing as "reverse" discrimination. Discrimination is discrimination, regardless of the race, creed, gender, etc. of either party.
11:13 am on Tuesday, January 8, 2013
I agree but if we had to define "reverse discrimination" it would be when the class of people who prefer to do the discriminating "feel" like they're getting a taste of their own medicine. I believe psychologists would refer to this as Projection.

@db21403: "We" don't have to define anything as there is no place for any form of discrimination in this day and age. I was simply and politely pointing out that the language in the headline, composed by a supposed "journalist," was inaccurate and inane. If someone wants to pose as a journalist, he/she should have better command of the language and context of the words in which he/she choose to communicate. And no, I'm actually not fond of journalists because they often embellish, fabricate, and sensationalize the news, as I'm sure this headline intended.
Anna Staver
5:41 pm on Tuesday, January 8, 2013
The headline was not intended to be sensational. Reverse discrimination is a real term used frequently in both legal arguments and colloquial conversation.
Here is the definition --> http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/reverse+discrimination
You can also view these legal cases on reverse discrimination compiled by the U.S. Department of the Interior --> http://www.doi.gov/pmb/eeo/cases/reverse.cfm

Ms. Staver, whille I understand full well what you are saying, it is very easy to find a precedent for almost anything. It is certainly easy to find precedents for any euphemism or poorly-chosen phrase, such as 'reverse discrimination.'
What this person is suing over is 'racial discrimination.' Racial discrimination is wrong regardless of the races involved. When someone tap-dances around this most obvious truth, honest people should have questions about his character and the nature of his interest in the color of skin.

Quick aside, Chris is wrong about "creed." Creed has to do with beliefs and morality, or lack thereof. There are plenty of creeds that are worth discriminating against, for instance, the creed of a serial rapist. (And the word he seeks is 'sex' not 'gender.' This is perpetuation of a common error--precious few get it right.)
But beyond those nitpicky technical points, Chris is dead right in the thrust of what he is saying. And for db21403 to characterize whole groups by something as sweeping as "the class of people who prefer to do the discriminating" is inherently shoddy thinking and incredibly counter-productive for reasoned discourse about a longstanding, touchy subject.
7:24 pm on Tuesday, January 8, 2013
And to be entirely precise, correcting myself, Chris O'Brien didn't specify whether he was discussing rightful or wrongful discrimination. My comment about creed earlier only makes sense if Chris O was speaking of wrongful discrimination and included creed. If he was only speaking of discrimination, right or wrong, then creed goes in the list and my earlier point is dead wrong.
Chris O'Brien
11:12 am on Friday, January 11, 2013
Anna, you're perpetuating a misnomer and should know better. The term you stupidly used does not belong in our language, makes no sense as you used it, and you have no defense. Discrimination is discrimination- period. References you pull out of your silly hat are also incorrect.
Mike, creed is typically used, and especially in discussing this sort of subject, any "system, doctrine, or formula of religious belief, as of a denomination." Therefore, my use of the word refers to religious discrimination, which anyone would obviously recognize. I find your rape comparison offensive and idiotic. Also, gender is the proper term, just as I used it, and is appropriate--again--in this context. Frankly, the two are almost interchangeable, however sex is no longer the favored term among the educated. Are you also one of the morons who refer to women and ladies as "females?" Go find something else to nitpick and be wrong about. Maybe pick up a dictionary, too.

Chris, I think you should focus on your excellent common sense outrage at the phrase "reverse discrimination" and not worry about my nitpicking, which seems to have set you off. I only made the "creed" and "sex" points because in this discussion of language and its implications, precision is more important than usual. I even corrected myself on one point where I had made an assumption about what you'd meant. So please, don't take it personally.
But, since you responded, please consider that you are wrong on two points, both of FAR less importance than the main one, on which we agree entirely.
First, 'gender' is a property of WORDS, not of persons. Its common interchangeability with 'sex' is simply a common MISTAKE, made not by the "educated" but just the reverse. Language evolves in multiple ways. Some changes actually improve and refine while others are just erosions of specificity by way of perpetuating errors. Equating 'sex' with 'gender' is the latter. Consider 'imply' and 'infer,' which mean VERY different things, may fall victim to the same sort of ignorance. And it IS ignorance, not necessarily stupidity. Someone under 30 is likely never to have heard the word 'gender' used properly. Again, small potatoes, but if one chooses to argue, one should be right.
You are even more wrong about 'creed.' While some have used it in the context you mention, precedent does not dismiss their error. Race and sex are innate and uncorrelated to beliefs.

Creed, in ALL of its definitions and contexts, has to do with a person's beliefs. Where traditional, well-intended criticisms of the naughty sorts of 'discrimination' are based upon attributes, like race and sex, that the individual cannot control and that are de-coupled from beliefs. ('Discrimination' gets a bad rap. It basically means distinguishing between things. It can be sensible and commendable, as with Shinola and other things. Or it can be immoral, as in hiring based upon race.)
The creed of a serial rapist should offend everyone, but the mere mention of the existence of such a creed should be offensive to none. Just as the term 'serial rapist' itself should not offend anyone. Bad things rightly get labels along with everything else, and the existence of the label neither advocates nor justifies--it merely recognizes and identifies.
But again, as I said in my first post, I meant no offense then and I mean none now. My nitpicking on the FAR less important points was praising with faint damnation. In my first comment, I called those minor points "nitpicky and technical." The most important point, by far, is that "reverse discrimination" is a bad phrase to use, for exactly the reasons you and I both cited.

I sympathize with Ms. Ferris, for I went through a similar action back in the 70's in Philadelphia when the NAACP was threatening to boycott Smith Kline and French because they felt they didn't hire enough African Americans.. I was a newly-hired graphic artist of 6 months, so was the first to go, among approximately 10 other employees - all Causasian. We were all replaced by African Americans. As a result, about 15 people resigned from the company in protest, three being high level art directors who had been there for years. . It was very upsetting to me and my family, for the person who replaced me had no training in the graphics field. I learned several months later after I had found another job, when I was contacted by the firm , that the person who had replaced me had left the job. They wanted me back. It was too late. Discrimination of all kinds must be stopped, and talented people should not be sacrificed for political agendas. I think Leggitt and Cynthia Carter should both be fired for their intimidation and discriminatory practices, and that the lawsuit should be pursued.

Let me get this straight: "HACA became a lifetime member of the NAACP"
Seriously, the Housing Authority for the City of Annapolis (HACA), a local government entity is a "lifetime member of the NAACP?!" Is this true? What does it even mean, if it is? That city tax dollars were donated to a political organization? Is it purely an "honorary" title/membership?
Can we get a confirmation/clarification on this one?
