Compact | Rate recommendations
great read with numerous storylines interwoven, but each maintaining their own integrity as a mini story. Well worth reading as it kept me interested from start to finish.
I was deeply touched by this book. It really helped explain Ian Rutledge's history in the Charles Todd books. The language is wonderful the atmosphere haunting. The suspense thrilling. What a story! Thank you very much!
This is beautifully written book form the POV of a 15/16 year old boy who misguidedly goes to fight in the First WW with his older brother. It shows very simply the futility and frustrations of war. It is a must read for younger readers (lots of secondary schools study it) and people that do not know much about the First WW. For older and knowledgeable readers they will find the story predicable and I guessed the device used, half the way through, that does not detract from the enjoyment. Even though I knew what was coming I cried, that in in itself is recommendation enough. It is sumptuous short read. I read it in less than 4 hours and I am a slow reader
Private Peaceful follows the childhood and early adulthood of Tommo, Charlie and Molly. In their village they live a peaceful life until World War I breaks out. Charlie is forced to go to war by their landlord, the Corporal, and Tommo cannot bear to let his brother go alone. They train and fight together, but Charlie is executed by a firing squad for disobeying orders. This is a moving story on the growing up theme, with war and drama added to the mix, resulting in a brilliant novel. It shows a different side to WWI and the way that men like Charlie were killed, some for only sleeping at their posts.
Two young brothers, Tommo and Charlie Peaceful, are faced with the reality of trench warfare and life as soldiers during World War I. As Tommo reflects back on his childhood, this touching and emotional story intertwines his past family struggles with his current soldier life.

TEAMS: Washington Capitals, Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers
General manager George McPhee believes the Washington Capitals have enough talent on the ice to contend for a Stanley Cup. His biggest concern heading into Saturday night's opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning is that his team will have had only six practices and a scrimmage to learn new coach Adam Oates' system. With a lineup that includes two-time Hart Trophy winner Alex Ovechkin, the Capitals have been Stanley Cup contenders for a while now, but they've yet to claim the title that once felt so inevitable. They went 42-32-8 last season to finish second in the Southeast Division, ending a four-year run as division champs. "We have a real solid team," McPhee said. "We're in good shape. We have a complete team." What the Capitals do not have is time on their side, as players are going to have to learn Oates' system on the fly. "It's very tough," Oates said. "Communication's vital. There's going to be mistakes. ...

Matthew Birt says:
Valentino Rossi was fortunate to escape injury after the Italian's hopes of claiming a home podium in Mugello were ended by a disastrous first lap collision with Spaniard Alvaro Bautista.
The factory Yamaha rider was trying to gain lost ground after a sluggish start from seventh on the grid when he collided with Bautista's Gresini Honda RC213V at just the third...

I choose to be supportive or Rossi and his efforts.
I always support anyone that shows effort, it's to be applauded. But with Vale I've seen zip in the way of effort for 3yrs. He's still quick, but nowhere near as fast as the hype anymore. That's my honest opinion bud, 'colours off' so to speak.
Time to say goodbye to riding, but maybe utilise his vast experience/business acumen to run a team? That'd be my choice personally. Motogp would still have Vale involved and Vale would still be in MotoGp.
Win-win :)

I'd say nr.6 is really reaping what he & his dodgy Uncle sowed for all those years.
The bedwetters say 'why doesn't he just qualify better?' Jamie put it very succinctly - impossible. And let's also remember nr.6 race pace doesn't actually equate to race winning pace, it's sort of more a muddling around 4th to 8th type of pace.
They said after Qatar - 'It'll only get better' it got worse. They said after Cota 'It'll only get better' barely. They said after Jerez 'It'll only get better' it got worse. They said after Le Mans 'It'll only get better' It got worse. Notice a trend here little yellow chickadees? There's nothing in the performances of your fallen yellow sun god to suggest he'll do anything more than what's he's done already this season - and he's at the top of his game too. He's never been quicker. Rossi quick, is simply not quick enough anymore though.

"Depends if you want to be critical of Rossi or supportive"
I see your point but I was being analytical. He has less points now than at any time in his career since his 1st season in 125s... that includes his 2 years at Ducati. He started the season off relatively strongly... it has gone downhill. He's plummeted from 2nd in the championship to 6th with less than half of the points of the championship leader. Nothing I have said here has been critical.

We know that race pace doesn't equate to race wins, but with Rossi's FP pace, we know he would of been on the podium if it wasn't for that twat Bautista. That's why it is far too early to be talking about his retirement and has every suggestion to say he will be on the podium very soon. So yes, all the orange piss stains, get your digs in while you can, coz it aint gunna last.
So yes, all the orange piss stains, get your digs in while you can, coz it aint gunna last.
It's lasted 2 1/2yrs with no sign of improving.
Now fuckoff.
"We know that race pace doesn't equate to race wins, but with Rossi's FP pace, we know he would of been on the podium if it wasn't for that twat Bautista"
There were a lot of people who's qualifying pace (that's where they sort out the grid positions, yeah?) was faster... so they'd all be on the podium too?... if Rossi hadn't had such an appalling qualifying & then cocked up his start Bautista wouldn't have been anywhere near him... he did & he was... his crap qualifying has cost him dearly in the past... it seems to be a problem he can't fix.

You don't know any such thing, anything could have happened trying to make his way up from where he was at the time of the crash which was about 11th and that also includes maybe not being quick enough. The top 3 were 2 seconds clear after 1 lap and 5 seconds clear of 5th placed Bradl by 5 laps. Rossi would have had to pass several bikes including two Ducatis and Bradl before he could even begin to get after Crutchlow who was nearly 6 seconds ahead of Bradl by lap 10.
A tall order to have caught and passed Crutchlow from that far back, never mind then get on the back of Pedrosa / Marquez. And as you're dealing in 'IF' conjecture you could also say if Pedrosa had got a better set up for the new tyre or if MM hadn't crashed, there was no way he'd have got anywhere near them. And what if he'd have cooked his tyres, run off track or maybe binned it trying to catch them. A lot of 'IFs'
And the crash wasn't Bautista's fault. They were both unfortunate and got in each other's way
As I said, get them in while you can.........Rossi's on the podium soon.

6 Aging Milestones No One Warns You About
You know the big ones from your youth: first time you drive a car, first time you kiss someone, first time you fuck in a tree, etc. Then there's the first time you have a legal drink, and that's the end of big firsts, right? Because getting old isn't so much about "firsts" as emerging trends: you start peeing more at night. You start thinking about your credit more. You don't have as much energy. Fuckin' hangovers, man, you don't even know.
But that's not true. Big life "firsts" continue long after you take that first legal drink at 21. They're just not as famous. Until now.
Also this may seem weird but since I write for Cracked I've completely forgotten how to write things that aren't lists.
6. The First Time You Hear a Fucked Up Story About Your Parents
I know what you're thinking. "I've already heard this story. It's when they went to Mexico, and my mom was heating a burrito, but it was too hot, so she threw it out the window and it hit my dad in the face and he was blind for like two days but they got wasted on Tequila anyway." Or maybe it's "That time mom didn't bother to pick up the dog poop because it was on her boss's lawn."
There is no higher form of dissent than ninja-pooping.
But you're wrong. Because you haven't heard the story about the time that guy spilled a drink on your mother's lap, so she leapt over the bar and beat the shit out of him until your cousin had to drag her off the poor sucker, and she was still cackling like the wicked witch of the west, and there was skin and blood beneath her fingernails the next morning.
You haven't heard that story. But you will.
5. The First Time You Eat an Entire Frozen Pizza…
…and then find yourself thinking "oh… fuck me."
The weird thing about eating healthier is that, for most of us, it doesn't happen because we wake up one day and think "Gosh, the abstract concept of mortality suddenly seems concrete and real, and it's an easy decision to swap the temporary satisfaction of junk food for the long-term benefits of living long enough to see the 2024 reboot of the Lord of the Rings franchise (Starring Shia LaBeouf as Gandalf)."
Which makes more sense once you learn it's an edgy, modern re-telling where Gandalf is a Meth dealer.
No, eating healthy happens because one Friday night you decide to go out, but realize you're hungry. Not wanting to slam whiskey-sours on an empty stomach, you grab a frozen pizza, toss it in the oven without pre-heating it, and then scarf the wad of burnt dough and crispy cheese down in less time than it took to cook it.
Then you cry, my friend. You cry forever. You cry tears of an agony you've never known, for hell hath no fury like cheap frozen pizza. And then you decide that maybe it's more of a lite-beer night.
4. The First Time You Completely Forget It's Friday Night
One day, after work, you realize that you have all this stuff you have to take care of, and decide that today is as good a day as any, because fuck it, Borderlands 2 will still be there in a couple hours. So you log in to Turbo Tax, pour yourself a glass, and get to work.
Then you start to wonder how long it's been, so you reach into your pocket to grab your phone. Only it's not there — it's in your jacket pocket, and your jacket is hung up in your bedroom. Instead of getting up to go get it, you just glance at the corner of your computer. 9:30. Well, that's not that bad. May as well take care of your credit card bill, it's almost the first of the month, and it'd be nice to not be last-minute on that for once. Damn, you're on a roll!
Pictured: 100% Accurate Advertising
Finally, at 12:42AM, you finish up your last thing, and head to bed. But you check your phone, first, because you need to set your alarm for work in the morning…
…and then you see the texts. Thousands of them. All about drugs, or punching strangers, or hospital visits. One of them is just a picture of boobs, with no explanation. And then you realize you don't have to set your alarm for the morning after all, because it's fucking Friday and you just missed everything cool.
3. The First Time Someone Having Innocent Fun Pisses You Off
Some day you're going to get on a bus, and the bus driver will sing a little song or make a little joke about every stop. He won't talk a lot, but it'll be just enough to where you notice it.
And instead of thinking "hey, it's nice this guy has managed to make his monotonous job fun," you'll think "It must be his first day. He's probably a failed entertainer of some kind. What a sad little man."
And it'll be days before you realize what a shit-head that thought makes you.
2. First Time You Aren't Ashamed of Your Groceries
That's right, check-out-lady. I'm buying pasta and celery and motherfucking brussel sprouts and mushrooms and raw meat and seasoning and oh fooey, I forgot the darn milk oh well, I'll pick it up at the gas station home.
The one in the Negative Zone.
And then you swipe your shopper's card, and get that receipt for a 5% discount for some weird kind of cheese that you actually recognize and you think to yourself I bet that would taste good with chicken and maybe some green beans.
1. The First Time You Realize All Your Problems Aren't Unique to You
This one might actually happen in shifts. I remember I a conversation I had my junior year of college. This woman, who was a sophomore, said "See my problem is I have trouble figuring out how to balance between 'work' and 'fun.'"
I remember saying "yeah, I know what you mean," but thinking "Yeah, welcome to the human race, dumbass." It seemed like such an obvious problem, that everyone has. Of course you have trouble balancing between that, because at its heart, its the exact same problem as the "eating" thing I already talked about: You're trying to balance between short term satisfaction and long term satisfaction. Grow up, lady.
It was years later before I realized I was doing the exact same thing. And it was such a strange conversation that tipped me off: I was talking to my uncle about whiskey, and I remember saying "it sucks because my favorite is Jameson, but I can't afford it." He laughed and said "yeah. Everyone's favorite is Jameson."
Since that day I've learned how hideously ignorant I was being. Mainly because Laphroaig's is obviously superior to Jameson in every conceivable way, but also in my assumption that such a straight-forward problem was somehow unique to me. It really made me re-analyze a lot of things I'd said over the past few months: calling my mother and complaining about how hard it was to keep track of all the different bills I had to pay, and how my cat was sick and I didn't know how to pay for it, or that I never seemed to have enough quarters for the laundry machine and oh woe is fucking me.
I know this doesn't apply to every problem. I know that some people have objectively more shit to deal with in their day to day life than other people, but I also know that everyone thinks that they're those people. Deep down, no matter who you are, you do too. You think that no one else has ever been passed up for a promotion for the exact same injustice you were, or that no one has ever been late for the bus for the same stupid reasons you were, or that no one else always forgets the eggs. But trust me. It's happened to everyone.
It's happened to me.
And when it did it was like, way worse.

ABOUT TIME Trailer. ABOUT TIME Stars Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, and Bill Nighy | Collider
A new trailer has been released for the romantic dramedy, About Time. The film puts a time travel spin on the classic romantic comedy conceit, as Domnhall Gleeson (Anna Karenina) plays a man who has inherited the ability to travel through time from his father (Bill Nighy). Naturally, Gleeson's character uses his time travel prowess to woo the girl of his dreams (Rachel McAdams), but as with all time travel stories, the powers come with grave consequences. The trailers we've seen have cast the film as a serious drama and as a light-hearted comedy, and this new one is definitely the latter. But rather than lay out the whole plot, it boils down the time travel device into one scene, and it works wonderfully.

I check TripAdvisor before every reservation.
I just booked at Royal Pacific at USF and the self park fee was $15 per nite! Again, as Robert indicated, most times I stay on USF property the parking lot has plenty of room. I think it is just a very unprofessional way at trying to squeeze every dime from a tourist when they visit.
Internet. IMHO, most hotels that charge over $100 a night should have free internet access, period... with either an ethernet port or a wireless network. In this wireless phone age, people use the internet in hotels more than they use the phone. The only reason I use the phone usually to call the front desk. I don't want it for anything else. I do however want internet. You will find that a lot of $80 a night hotels advertise free internet, and it's a real selling point. I really don't mind staying in a comfortable and well taken care of Fairfield or Comfort Inn that gives me free breakfast and free internet, and doesn't charge for all the little stuff on top of the room rate
Parking...I expect some parking fees in a "high traffic" place. Tourist destinations in season and large cities in particular have those labels. Anywhere else, free parking is expected. However, in some places it's gotten to the point where parking can add as much as 50% to your night stay. A prime example is downtown Chicago. I was there a couple of months ago and stayed downtown for the weekend. I payed $125/night for the room at Embassy Suites by Navy Pier (superb hotel by the way, highly recommended). However, I chose to drive rather than fly, so my cost to park the car? 50 bucks a night for valet, unlimited access. If you wanted the cheaper parking price, it was $45 with once daily access. Embassy wasn't unique...all the downtown Chicago hotels charge that much. In cases with fees like that though, I definitely think that they should at least be posted right beside the room rate instead of buried in the information section because of the amount of cost they can add to the stay. In the case of downtown Chicago, I would have been financially and time-wise better off flying for a couple of hours and taking cabs.
Resort Fees. If the resort is top notch and offers a lot of good complimentary services, than I don't have a problem with it. If there is a good in house sitter service/kids activities, or a really nice pool area, or a good complimentary daily meal...no problem, as long as it isn't an exorbitant amount of money on top of the rate. All hotels are different though. Example, complimentary internet or parking could be part of the resort fee instead of the separate fee, hence Robert's reasoning for wanting a standard.
It all comes down to expectations with this stuff. Hotels have to stay competitive with their rates, but they all price differently according to their market and target audience in order to stay competitive because they don't want to give the impression of "unreasonably more expensive", although they may not have been anyway. Many people today have a tendency to look at the price of something rather than it's value, and hotels have to strike that balance in a market with no rules.
In my case, I've stayed in scores of hotels of all prices and sizes, and I've come to this conclusion through my experience. I want certain things in a hotel depending on it's purpose, and I don't want to be gouged or nickel and dimed wih upcharges. I am however, willing to pay a little more on the rate for a better stay, because I value my time just much as I do my money.
The only extra feature we have paid is for room service. When exhausted from the fun of the day, it is always nice to have a meal delievered to your room.
Other than a situation like that, I'm just making sure the place I'm staying is affordable, clean, and in a decent area when I'm on vacation, especially to theme parks, because I don't expect to be there much anyway. I will look for free wireless internet, but it's not a deal-breaker.
I do agree however that showing parking fees should be required by law
I have yet to find the Hampton Inn that charges for parking, breakfast is included, and internet access is free! Embassy Suites offer huge rooms, cooked-to-order breakfast, manager's reception and other amenities appealing to the business traveler. Homewood Suites, as another example -- no parking charge, free internet access, two-room mini-suites with kitchenette, full size 'fridges and dishes/glasses, hot breakfast every morning and light meals Monday thru Thursday evenings. Doubletree -- chocolate chip cookies on check-in.
Ironically, Hilton hotels themselves are where you routinely find the most fees. But they're usually well located for business travelers on expense accounts, who are more inclined to pay the fees without kvetching.
My favorite example of a perfect confluence of Hilton? The King Street metro area in Alexandria, VA (inside the DC Beltway). There you'll find a full-up Hilton, an Embassy Suites and a Hampton Inn, all within a block of each other -- one for business, one for casual travel, and one for vacationers -- and all within an easy walk to the metro station as well as the restaurants and delights of Old Town Alexandria!
I have to admit, I haven't tried the Conrad or Waldorf-Astoria brands, but once I hit HHonors Diamond, it might be more tempting than I can resist...
Sorry for the long, effusive Hilton commercial, but I just wanted to point out a good alternative for you.
Your proposal is ridiculous and shame on you for suggesting the need for government intervention. If you don't like the way Sheraton and Starwood conduct their business, then stop patronizing them. Act like an empowered consumer, not whiner who thinks legislation is the solution to the problem.
In fact, go a step further and bring your concern to the general manager or corporate office. If you can't find any mention about parking and Internet fees on their web site, then you have an good argument for getting those charges reversed. If enough customers complain, then the hotel will likely respond.
Since when is paying for Internet service mandatory during a stay? At every hotel I've stayed that charges, it's optional. -Eric Gieszl
The basic tendency of all free markets is quickly to become unfree. Businesses will use every angle available to them to undermine or eliminate competition. That's the basic nature of competition. You try to eliminiate the other guy. In business, this happens when companies try to lock customers into long-term contracts, so that they can't switch to a competitor offering a better deal in the future. Or when a business sells you on the great features it offers, the locks your data into proprietary formats, so you can't easily switch to a competitor. Or when businesses lure you with an up-front price, then hide the real cost of their product through hidden fees you don't learn about until you've committed.
With hotel fees, any hotel that started listing a "true price" upfront would be putting itself at a huge disadvantage against those hotels which do not, since its room rates consistently would appear higher than its competitors. So, for the most part, they don't.
Ironically, if hotels were forced by some outside authority (such as government) to list the true price up front, I think two things would happen: First, "true prices" would decrease. Hotels now don't have to compete on the prices of things such as parking and resort fees, since these costs are hidden to prospective customers. But if they had to be included in an up-front true price, consumers would see them before booking, creating an incentive for hotels to keep them as low as possible - something that doesn't happen now.
Second, with lower true prices and cost certainty, since consumers would know that they wouldn't be hit with hidden fees, more people would book more hotel rooms.
See the irony? Because of competitive pressure, hotels hide fees, which hurts consumers *and* ends up hurting the hotels in the long run. It's a classic Prisoner's Dilemma, and it happens all the time in business.
So what we need is some way for people to come together and decide, collectively, not to do this anymore. Well, we have a process that can do just that. It's government. It's not some seperate, evil thing. It's simply the way that people in a civil society work together to make collective decisions about the rules under which they'll all live and work together.
Such as: hotels have to tell you their real price up front, before you book.
As someone who works at a resort hotel (with an indoor water park, which is what I do), I have to disagree with your point of view.
I won't speak much to parking or resort fees, as I've never worked for a hotel that charged them, other than to say that the idea that hotels don't have to compete with each other on this because the customer may not know the price up front is plain wrong. Trust me when I say that any good hotel operator knows EVERY price point that the competition is charging, all the way down to their Sunday Buffet price.
To my knowledge, there's only one industry in the States that generally includes taxes in their advertised prices (Movie Theaters). While I'm sure that there are many business that do, it is not common practice. If I go to buy a Computer, on sale at Best Buy for $999.99, I know instintively that I'm going to be paying more thank 1,000 to walk away with the computer. Those taxes and other government levies are beyond my control as a business operator. We provide a resort experience for $189, and then the government does what it does.
As far as Internet Access goes, I think that it should be free everywhere too, but the decision is rarely up to the actual operator of the hotel. I used to work for a Sheraton, and it was a Starwood specification to charge for Internet. We were required by our franchise agreement to charge. You're obviously more likely to see this type of charge in a business hotel, where business travelers will pay for it, and expense it back. I think though, that its a standard that's slowly changing.
In general, you have to keep in mind that the lodging industry is being much more widely hit than the amusement park industry. The number of hotels that are being foreclosed on each week, or owners and investors just walking away from the loan giving the property back to the bank is just staggering. The small segment of the industry that I work in straddles both Amusement & Theme Parks and Hotels, so I know many people in both industries, and many people out of work. I can say, very succinctly, though, that there are a lot more of my hotel friends out on the street than park friends.
I also have to side (less zealot-like though) with the other commenters that say that government intervention isn't the way to go. I disagree with you, and think that free market economies work when there is healthy competition.
I completely understand where hotels are coming from on some things. There are a lot of hotels out there struggling to stay open right now, and they have to make money somehow. If they want to charge, then they can charge. It doesn't mean I have to buy it, or even stay there if I can find a better deal, but it's obvious that someone is willing to pay for it if they are charging. As I said before though, it's not the roadside hotel at $50 to $80 a night or the little guys that do most of the upcharging and "fees". Rather it's the higher priced but seemingly always full places in the city or tourist areas, or in some cases airport hotels that upcharge for a great deal of the amenities that others don't.
I still don't understand why you didn't bring up your concerns with the manager. I'm used to getting my way and on a similar situation, I'd easily win.
I don't see how rates could be any lower in areas like Anaheim and Orlando. There is already excess inventory and many respectable properties struggle at times. I stayed in a 3-star Orlando hotel for $29/night in December. Lower rates would mean more service cutbacks. Are you ready to do without housekeeping?
Overall, I'm not bothered by the hotel fees you mention. I'm not afraid to make a phone call, if necessary, to inquire about resort fees and Internet charges if I need to know. Of course, I prefer free Internet, and I will often call to verify.
As a frequent traveler I've grown accustomed to what to expect from a 4, 3, 2 and god forbid 1 star properties. Parking fees and Internet charges are to be expected at most 3 and 4 star hotels.
In the end I don't want to have to read a ten-page contract full of disclosures just so I can make a hotel reservation. If you need to know about every possible charge, then you go ahead and do the homework, but for the rest of us, leave us alone.
Sales taxes are charged and collected locally, and the rate is the same on all purchases, so residents know what to expect.
But hotel taxes vary wildly by location and I doubt that any TPI reader outside the hospitality industry could name the various tax rates for top markets around the country. Yet it would be trivial for hotels to include these in the "first price" quoted to consumers, since the hotels know what they are. So why don't they?
Same goes for resort fees and other charges levied on all visitors who don't complain long and loudly at the front desk. Why not include those?
Because certain hotels and chains are trying to deceive you into thinking that you're getting a better deal than you are. Which forces others to play the same game. Even though that practice costs everyone in the industry business in the long run.
Yes, you can complain directly to a front desk. And maybe you'll get some fees taken off your bill. But why do we have to live with a system where we all have to play that game? Where we all have to make multiple phone calls to multiple properties to find the true costs of hotel rooms?
Why can't we just go to Hotels.com or Expedia or any other website and see those costs - which the hotels know and could report - first thing, without the rigamarole?
Why? Because of the Prisoner's Dilemma. Yes, consumers have the power to end this. We can do it individually by demanding changes at each front desk we check out from, and wait years and years for the industry to take notice.
Or we can do this quickly, by e-mailing our Congressional representatives and demanding a new ground rule for the industry - namely, that the price you quote us be the price you make us pay.
When I book the "Swolphin" online, they do not mention the mandatory $10 per day (or whatever it is these days - might be more now) that gets me 2 bottles of spring water, internet access and access to the fitness room. However I have been given a verbal heads-up about this fee when calling and speaking to a SPG agent to book.
I'm not especially happy about being forced to pay for amenities that I may or may not use. I now have a smartphone to which I can tether my laptop, so I don't really need the internet access. I like arriving in the park with a head start on the ever-shrinking $2.50 bottles of water, but I do not ever make it to the gym while I'm at Disney World, so that's sort of useless. I would like to have the OPTION of consuming - and therefore, paying for - these amenities. Or not. MY choice.
I'm not happy that there is no free parking option at the "Swolphin". But I figure, since I'm not paying for the room, I can afford to valet it.
I don't understand the "Free Internet" self entitlement people have. The hotel has to pay for the connection, so why shouldn't you? When it's optional then only those who use it pay for it. Free Internet is not really "free" unless the stay at the hotel is as well.
Robert- gas prices are an excellent example, but one of the few where the posted price includes taxes. Go to any retail or grocery store and the shelf price is the price for the product, not the price with tax.
I understand your side, but I don't agree with you since you're asking the hotels to include in their price fees and taxes that they cannot control or keep.
On my recent reservation from Hotels.com the taxes and fees was on the invoice and stated before I confirmed the reservation. So out of curiosity I went to browse the Starwood web site and specifically the Disneyland Anaheim property. I immediately found that it states that Internet is USD 9.95 per day under "Guest Rooms".
While making a reservation it states the price both with and without additional charges & taxes for each room type.
If you proceed to make the reservation there a bold link "Terms & Details" and bold text that says "Click the "Terms & Details" link for more detailed information for each room including taxes, additional hotel charges and terms & conditions."
That page outlines every single tax rate and the additional hotel charges, including the roll away fee you mention.
So what was the point of this entire article and poll when they're already doing what you propose?
I understand that it costs a little money to create a wireless network, especially one for a larger hotel. It requires the highest of bandwidth and higher end equipment. What I also understand is that for many, internet service is now more important than the telephone in each room. It's become a necessity for many people on the road. I don't need the hotel phone, I have a cell phone...but I will use the crap out of an internet connection to communicate and for other business purposes. I really don't think I'm alone in that respect. It's just an expectation I have when shopping for a hotel in which to stay.
I don't quite understand all of the flak given by some on this thread, but I think that a law or regulation is unlikely. That's why hotel review sites are so powerful and recommended. A lot of people simply don't pay attention to the breakdown of a hotel bill. They may get a big surprise if they start taking a look.
That $75 rate you state for those value hotels might be $70 or $65 if they didn't offer Internet service. The fact is you're still paying for it and it's not free.
Disney does not charge for parking at their hotels, so no- i do not expect to pay for parking at Universal Orlando hotels.
Full disclosure is just being honest and upfront so people can make decisions armed with all needed info. I have stayed at hotels that charge for parking. Usually in an area where all of the hotels charged a similar fee. I had to check each individual website for the fee b/c none included it. If they had all been upfront with the info, I would have made the same decision as to which hotel to stay in. It just would have taken me less time.
I want to know what I am getting before I get there. I don't want any surprises at check out- especially if I am on a budget. I don't want to get a list from Expedia showing a rate and then click through to book and find out that the price was $50 more per night than expected and then have to start over. I am a regular consumer. I do not work at a hotel. I travel for vacation once or twice a year and on business 2 or 3 times a year. I want FULL DISCLOSURE and honesty.
The hotels that try to deceive people just shoot themselves in the foot. I will not stay at a resort that charges a resort fee or parking automatically. If I get "caught" at one of these, you'd better believe I will not be back. And I will warn away everyone that I know.
This is 2010 folks. The internet is no longer uncommon or a luxury item worthy of a $10.00 plus extra fee. Most people use it everyday, some people overuse it. Businesses depend on it, and people communicate through it. It's ingrained into our culture, and hotels that offer it for free have an advantage over ones that charge extra for it. Road warriors, and there are a lot of us..use the internet.
It all comes down to simple economics, and in some cases bad business decisions in the form of contracts signed with third party proxy operators, who are employed to build and manage hotel networks for a large chunk of money and the opportunity to track user activity for the purposes of marketing and advertising. The hotel receives a small kickback of revenue. Not all such deals are bad, but they lock hotels into long term contracts, and in the long run end up raising the cost of providing the service in a lot of instances. If you know how to do it and you manage the work yourself, it's not that expensive in the long run, nor difficult to blanket a 5 floor hotel with a sufficient secure wireless internet. The problem is that a lot of people are clueless or intimidated by computers, so they turn to the "experts", who are more than happy to overcharge for providing relatively simple services, which drives up the cost.

Miss that loved one? Maybe a little too much? Maybe in a creepy way? Well now you can carry their DNA around your neck thanks to the DNA Pendant by Japan's Eiwa Industry. There are two pendant design choices and they'll even interlock. Perfect for re-married widows to remember the past. Okay, not funny.
The package will set you back $428, and that includes the extracting the DNA from a nail or hair. Now I'm guessing these pendants are for people waiting to one day restore a loved one thanks to cloning. However, I'd probably recommend a safe. Much less creepy.

PORTLAND -- Former Washington State guard Dre Winston will transfer to Portland State for the 2011-12 academic year and join the Viking Basketball Program. Winston, who is an aid agreement signee, will redshirt the season as per NCAA transfer rules. He will be sophomore eligible beginning in 2012-13.
The addition of Winston brings the Portland State roster to 15 for the 2011-12 season. It also, notes Viking Coach Tyler Geving, gets PSU to 13 full scholarships, nine of which are going to players from the Pacific Northwest.
"One of our goals is to recruit the northwest area well," said Geving. "With the addition of Dre that gives us nine of 13 scholarships from the area and we are proud of that."
Winston, who played backup point guard as a freshman at Washington State, will have three years at the point for the Vikings. Geving expects those to be good years.
"Dre is an extremely quick, athletic guard. In fact, with he and (freshman signee) Gary Winston (no relation), we have two of the top athletic guards from that class ('10) in Washington. They are two guys we are really excited about for the future."
Dre Winston averaged 20.8 points and 3.6 assists as a senior at Lakes (WA) High School. He led the team to a third place finish at the 3A State Championship, earning Most Valuable Player honors. Winston also was named MVP of the Northwest Shootout, scoring 24 points as the Washington All-Stars beat the Oregon All-Stars, 116-109.
Winston saw limited action at Washington State in 2010-11, scoring 15 points with 14 rebounds and eight assists in 26 games.
Winston will round out a 15-man Viking roster for 2011-12. He joins five returning letterwinners, three returning redshirts, and six other signees.

By the year 2020, 120 ice arenas in the state will be facing a shortage of Freon 22 that they use for their cooling systems and may be required to change to more environmentally friendly refrigerants such as CO2 or ammonia. This conversion process will be very expensive and potentially will create an extreme hardship for a number of arenas in communities that cannot afford the renovations.

As playoffs loom and the hope of warmer weather is on the minds of many this year, it is also time to think about and plan for the offseason. There are so many options that it can be overwhelming, but with a few guidelines, families should be able to make good choices.

Hockey is a team game and youth hockey is for the enjoyment and development of all the players. At the college and professional ranks, teams play three lines regularly and often times use the fourth line. In youth hockey, the holy grail of "winning" is too often used to relegate the third line to the bench in many games.
When I coached Bantam teams, our opponents regularly shortened their bench early in the game. We beat a better team in the regional playoffs one year because our opponent only played two of their three lines. We changed our three lines every 30 seconds in the third period and wore them out. When we went through the post-game handshake, there were five cold, dry hands. The last game of the season for them and the third line did not skate a shift.

Here we are a little past the midway point of the season, and it is a good time for each coach to assess their team in relation to their district rivals and determine if the team is on track to meet the goals set at the beginning of the season.
For some, the reality of where their team stacks up versus expectations can be disappointing. For other coaches, they may be pleased with the progress the team has made and are excited about the prospects for the end of the season District and Region Tournaments.

In today's world of youth sports, parents are interwoven into the fabric of the teams on which their kids play. This is quite a change from 20 years ago when the kids were dropped off at the rink and picked up a couple hours later.
Because parents are so much more involved in the teams, they also have a significant role in the season outcome. By understanding their roles, parents can help their kids have a great season and achieve more than their kids anticipated.

Wsj app works terribly since move to newsstand. No updates auto or manual. No reasonable resolutions online. Did the same crew work Q&A on WSJ newstand as did on maps! What a mess.If I am missing something please let me know. But so far this is junk!
I use it daily since I got original iPad three ?? years ago.Since migrating to Newsstand (NS) the auto download works, at best, once a week. However, I'm an early riser, so I typically look at the app around 4:30 AM. It's possible the auto download occurs at a set time each day and maybe I'm checking the app too early. Today, I noticed the auto download was there but that's because I checked it at 5:45 (I sleep late on the weekends!).As to manual updates, they always work, but if not, try deleting the app, reboot the device and download a fresh copy.Only issue I noted (since moving to NS) is the paper freezes for a few seconds, but last week's update seems to have resolved it.The tech team is very responsive, it's easier to get a reply by calling them (800) 568-7625. You'll get a low level techie, but you can ask to speak to level 2 and they'll patch you through. They also respond to emails, but usually that takes a few days, or more.Other than the lack of auto downloads (which in my case might be a result of checking too early) the app is very stable.That being said, the iPhone app never downloads unless I fire it up, but I only read WSJ on iPad so this isn't an issue. It also seems that on iPhone you get the Now version, not the Today version,I'd reinstall and if that doesn't resolve, I'd call them.

In memoriam, Paul Akers
A history buff, Mr. Akers loved "anniversary" editorials and Civil War pieces. His "Know Your Rights" series on the Bill of Rights in 2005 was worthy of use in a classroom. Religion, often banned by editorial page editors, was an allowable subject, because Mr. Akers saw spirituality as a big part of life. A Marine and Vietnam veteran, his memories of that conflict both haunted and inspired him. Though a deep thinker and an able polemicist, his vibrant sense of humor filled the office with infectious laughter.
A tall figure (6 foot 5 inches), Mr. Akers could often be seen walking down William Street in his suit and his summer fedora toward Hyperion, sometimes stopping in briefly at the Virginia Partners Bank where his beloved wife, Karen, worked. A caring boss, loving family man, and compassionate community member, in the end it was his heart that gave out. His legacy never will.

The camera then captures 6 shots, by moving the sensor 1 and ½ pixel at the time, to create a 200Mpix capture. This process eliminates the issues which single-shot interpolation can sometimes introduce, such as moiré and color rendering issues, thereby capturing the red, green and blue information in each individual pixel point and then combining these captures into one amazing file. The mind blowing detail of these shots opens new creative and commercial doors to any kind of shooting where detail or resolution are important, from fine cars to artwork reproduction to high-end product photography. In addition to the 200Mpix resolution, these multi-shot images offer true color and moiré free capture to provide an astonishing level of detail.Size, Features, and Functions for Image PerfectionThe more digital photography pushes the imaging envelope, the more the advantages of larger format cameras have become even more obvious. The Hasselblad H4D-200MS uses one of the largest image sensors currently available in digital photography - up to more than twice the size of a 35mm camera sensor. This sensor holds more and larger pixels, delivering the highest possible image quality in terms of moiré-free color rendering without gradation break-ups in even the finest lit surfaces.The H4D-200MS also uses our Ultra-Focus engine to get the full potential of the Hasselblad H System lens line, and the H System's large format allows considerably shallower depth of field shooting, making it much easier to utilize selective focus for creative effect.In addition, our digital lens correction feature (DAC) works with our Phocus software to automatically remove any chromatic aberration, distortion, and vignetting that may occur. All 11 Hasselblad H System lenses feature central lens shutters, allowing flash sync at shutter speeds up to 1/800s and reducing camera vibration. Our newest lenses, the HCD 28mm and 35-90mm, have been specifically optimized for the actual 36 x 48mm area of the sensor, making them more compact and more ideally suited to high-resolution capture.View-camera and Other OptionsThe H4D-200MS capture unit can also be used on a view camera by way of an H System adapter. The digital capture device can work with electronic shutters like those from Rollei and Schneider, either stand-alone using the flash sync signal from the shutter or together with Phocus, allowing full control of the electronic shutter from the computer.The H4D-200MS also provides a range of special extended camera controls that bring an entirely new level of flexibility to the way you shoot. These features include:Live video for easier capture set-up and workflow, or the ability to control the lens drive for focusing when the camera is in a remote position or when the digital capture unit is mounted on a view camera. New Metadata (GPS, HTS 1.5 etc). The extended metadata included in all Phocus images enables accurate and detailed cataloging and indexing, easy image management, and includes added GPS data functionality that in turn allows a range of new functions, such as linking data directly to Google Earth, for easy geographic reference and image storage and retrieval much easier. Perfect Viewing Quality. In high-end photography, what you see needs to be what you get. Our Phocus Viewer, therefore, is designed to provide viewing quality that matches every detail of what you will see later in Photoshop. The Phocus Viewer also allows you to customize layout and composition to suit your current or desired workflow, ensuring he most intuitive and productive workflow possible. The H4D-200MS is a top of the line product for top of the line applications that is ideal for everything from hand-held location shooting to the most demanding still life shots. When capturing 6-shot images with the H4D-200MS, a minimum of 8GB of RAM and a drive speed of 7200 or 10000 RPM are required. Please refer to the Phocus Read-Me file for detailed system requirements.

They are first quality. Also, I ordered these with shoe trees which arrived installed in the shoes so someone definitely missed this. Again, I'm not really that upset, Yenni is going to contact Alden early this coming week and see what the options are. I still have nothing but praise for J. Gilbert.

A man in a ragged suit balanced on a fire hydrant, waving a sign with "Join us, don't be scared!" magic-markered in Spanish. Another man, in dreads, lit up some sage on the lawn next to him. Little kids with "99 percent" signs taped to the backs of their shirts formed a drum circle at the sidewalk intersection of Temple and Spring Streets. As the smoggy night air started to thicken with drops of water -- a light aftershock to Wednesday's downpour -- campers rushed to cover supplies and throw rain flies over tents.
Occupy L.A. has moved into 200 North Spring Street for good; L.A. City Councilmembers wouldn't dare turn them away now. Below, LA Weekly speaks with four of the faces who have joined this hundreds-strong solidarity effort with Occupy Wall Street to fight for the 99 percent.Esther Kim
Esther Kim got in on the ground floor of the Occupy L.A. movement. A friend from L.A. City College brought her to the first organizational meeting at Pershing Square, a couple weeks ago, and she's been attending the protest ever since.
She plans to transfer to UC Berkeley in the spring.
"This is a dream come true for me," she said. "But I'm not sure how I'm going to afford it."
Kim, 31, waited a long time to go to college because she was struggling to pay the bills.
Though she's worked a series of jobs, she's never had health insurance.
"A lot of my family members and I, we've never been rich," she said. "We're afraid of being hurt, or getting sick, or getting check-ups. We can't afford it."
She plans to bring a tent this weekend to camp out overnight.

RIM – Rare Pirate Beard
Category: Rare Item Monday
There were female pirates, although not very common. The most notable were Anne Bonnie and Mary Read who sailed with 'Calico Jack Rackham' in 1719.
They were known to belt on a sword and a pistol and take to the seas dressed as men. Maybe they had this week's RARE ITEM MONDAY, Rare Blue Pirate Beard. They were also regarded as better fighters than their male shipmates. When Jack's ship 'The Kingston' was captured by the law, Bonnie and Read claimed they were with child to avoid being hanged with the rest of the crew.

A group of religious leaders in Maryland have today launched the Maryland Marriage Alliance to push back on efforts to pass marriage equality in the 2012 session. Backed by the National Organization for Marriage and Maryland Catholic Conference and led by the Maryland Family Alliance's Derek McCoy, the alliance rejects the inevitability of marriage equality passing, going so far as to say "Bring it on" to the fight. Their main targets are two Democratic districts where African-American legislators will be campaigning heavily for votes.

Get your mind out of the gutter.
By April 18, 2013 / Photos by Fiat
Does putting a cloth roof on Fiats little scorpion take away the sting? Nope. The 2013 Fiat 500c Abarth accomplishes its mission without detracting from the stuff that makes the Abarth special. The signature raspy exhaust note is amplified, the fresh air is maximized, and your sunscreens SPF becomes a legitimate consideration. The 500s sliding-roof is more conducive to spur-of-the-moment use than many traditional convertible tops.
The 500c Abarth has a bit of a Jeckyll-and-Hyde thing going on, and its all controlled by the Sport button. When disengaged, the car feels pretty disappointing: theres a terrible 1-2 shift lurch, vague overboosted steering, and almost unrelenting turbo lag. Pressing Sport however, transforms the Abarth into an interactive, zippy, and aggressive little beastie.
In sport mode, through the canyons around Mulholland, the Abarth proved a willing fiend for apexing corners. Give the little bugger credit: its little SOHC 1.4-liter hung in with the infinitely brawnier Grand Cherokee SRT piloted by a member of the Fiat team. The Fiat is certainly nimble, but theres still enough understeer baked in that you need to be mindful of it because the transition from grip to slip is unexpected. The brakes were fade free throughout my two hours of canyon time, and abrupt slowdowns give the added benefit of spontaneous, almost anti-lag level pops and backfires from the exhaust.
The 500c Abarth is one of the purer examples of slow-car-fast, but its not without its issues. The seating position is anything but confidence inspiring especially if you are going down a significant grade, and the pedals arent optimized for aggressive shifting in that they have illogically long travel with no perceivable benefit to modulation. The shift lever may be the most ridiculous and least ergonomic available in any car right now (its like a cowhide-covered mutant gourd) and the 5-speed manual kept hanging up on 5-4 and 3-2 downshifts for no apparent reason.
Yet, with all that said, I like the car. Such are the effects of its charms versus the annoyances. .Compared to other small convertibles, the 500c Abarth feels less disconnected fore and aft, has less infernal wind noise with the top down, and the fabric roof can be raised and lowered at up to 60 mph. You cant get T-tops anymore and to my thinking cars are all the worse for it. But this may be the next best thing.
Its not a style-only sunbather-special like the old VW cabrio. 170 lb./ft. of torque yank sees to that. Still, theres something about the way the ragtop Abarth drives that makes it feel like a 7/10ths car. The basic goodness is there, but its hard to shake the impression that the Fiat 500c Abarth is perpetually engaged in a battle to be better than the sum of its parts.

The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) market stands poised to take off, but don't expect it to be an overnight sensation, according to analysts following developments in the industry.
"It's definitely going to be a very big market, but not as quick to materialize as some people think," according to Bradley Berman, who operates a consumer information Web site (www.hybridcars.com) in Oakland, Calif. "There is no lithium-ion battery on the market right now, so it will roll out slowly. And all the manufacturers have problems as they overpromise and underperform."
The leaders in developing lithium-ion batteries—the gold standard because they are needed for advanced power systems—are Japanese companies, including Moriguchi-based Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. and Panasonic (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd.), who are supplying Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co. Ltd. and Ford Motor Co.
