This was the worst hotel I have seen in twenty years of traveling abut 75 nights per year! I checked in and they put me in a room that had not been cleaned or made up -- they moved me to another room and that one had not been cleaned -- when I left to find another hotel they told me that they would NOT refund the charge. Kayak had it listed as a three star -- it was barely a one star! It apparently was a Marriott Residence Inn twenty five years ago when they sold it -- and Wyndham hasn't touched it since -- TERRIBLE -- I'd rather stay in my car than stay in that dump!
Poor 2.0
Nothing the entire place was literally falling apart and disgusting and we did not stay there we left immediately it was disgusting and falling apart
Buildings were literally falling apart, there were exposed wires, trash and beer bottles were all over the grounds and right outside the door, the sign for the room was on the ground not attached to the wall, the room was supposed to be non smoking and when I opened the door the thick wall of smoke was so thick my mother gagged. I have never seen a three star hotel that Was so disgusting and falling apart. And I knew we could not stay there. We did not even gave trouble getting our money back because it was so disgusting. In fact I have never seen a hotel or motel this awful in my life. I suspect they are in violation of health and building codes. DO NOT LET KAYAK USERS stay there.

Location near the highway, near restaurants, and the casino.
They have made a deal with Starbucks. They no longer have free coffee in the lobby. No longer do they offer free breakfast in the morning, and since the latest upgrade they have removed the microwaves from all of the rooms.If you get a room choose low numbers (ie. 101, 201, 301) they are on the East side away from the highway. Some of the upper floors have balconies. Nice upgrade, all though they did not do the handicapped rooms. Nice looking pool and business area.
Mediocre 4.0
Apparently there was a remodel going on and the new carpet and decor was beautiful.
The noise with the remodel...vomit near the jacuzzi..jacuzzi bubbles didn't work. Glass beer bottles in the pool area and the boxer briefs hanging from the tree outside were a nice touch. Not enough parking.I frequent marriott hotels, and other than the things I listed previously had the remodel been the only thing going on I could handle it , but there wasn't enough staff to maintain the premises and the woman working at the front desk was the same person that brought us our extra towels...need more staff on hand.

When I arrived at the hotel I saw that they were under construction. None of this was mentioned when the plans were made or in all the emial up-dates I received before hand. I had to enter in the side door that was proped open with a brick, The lobby was torn up from the floor up! When I asked the person at the desk if she could recommed another hotel to stay at, she could not. When taking me up to my room to show me before I checked in she and I got stuck between floors on the elevator. Had to use the stairs for the next few hours. While the room was clean I was very disappointed in the look and in the inconvience. At the very least I would have expected a discounted rate for staying there. It was clear that they should not have been open during this time.

It was a fairly basic hotel which would have been fine, except for the problems.
One room smelled strongly of cat and even after it was brought to their attention, it was not taken care of for the second night. The second room had a dirty towel on the back of the bathroom door. No real problems with the third room.We attempted to arrange and guarantee two more rooms at this hotel for the same nights. They said that they could give us two rooms with king beds for people coming at midnight. I filled out the paperwork but they would not take the card. At 12:30 am they had only one room and said they had no information on what had been the fifth room. So far they have not charged my card for the third room. They kept telling me not a problem ma'am as we tried to pay for the rooms and double check on the two extra rooms. It was a big problem. We made three trips to the motel to make sure we were covered because the phone interactions were very hard ...

For the money, it was a clean enough place to stay. No freeway noise. Close to the event we were in town for.
Breakfast provided was English Muffins, donut holes from Kroger and cereal. The orange juice dispenser was dirty and my juice had a big glob of rotten stuff in it, like it had been clogged for days. Only 2 towels were provided when I had 3 people.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The back side of the hotel where I stayed seemed pretty unsafe. There was one room pretty close to me with loud fighting - a couple of guys drinking outside with a cooler, fighting with shiver was staying there. I thought I would have to call the cops when it got really loud, and didn't feel safe to leave the room. After about 15 minutes I got sick of feeling trapped in my room and asked them to be quiet which they did. Either they weren't thinking about where they were or this is just normal for that side of the hotel. Same room, different day there was another young guy pounding on the door in the morning. A lot of people came and went from that room in the 3 days I was there. I don't care what people do in private but I don't like to pay for a hotel (even a budget one) where it's unsafe to come and go freely.

Before Greta Gerwig mercilessly melts your indie heart in this weekend's Damsels in Distress, you can take a quick look at what, in some ways, may be her biggest role yet. I speak of the trailer for Lola Versus, a New York City-set comedy that sees her titular character try to recoup from a failed engagement, discover herself, possibly romance Hamish Linklater, and charm your socks off all at the same time.
While this initial preview might not inspire yours truly to alter his Tribeca schedule, I'd be hard-pressed to argue that, thus far, Lola Versus looks any different than what I expected: a breezy, well-composed 90 minutes with one of this generation's more promising actresses. Maybe it's all a little more "girly" (sorry) than once anticipated, but I can do girly just fine if the surrounding film works on a basic level. Should the trailer be any indication, we're already in good shape.
Watch it below (via Apple):
Synopsis: Greta Gerwig plays Lola, a 29-year-old woman dumped by her longtime boyfriend Luke (Joel Kinnaman) just three weeks before their wedding. With the help of her close friends Henry (Hamish Linklater) and Alice (Zoe Lister-Jones), Lola embarks on a series of desperate encounters in an attempt to find her place in the world as a single woman approaching 30.
Also starring Debra Winger and Bill Pullman, Lola Versus will premiere at Tribeca later this month, before a limited opening on Lola Versus.
Does Lola show some promise with this first trailer?

Photos of John Mayer at BlackBerry Storm Launch Party, Recently Endorsed Barack Obama "Hope Is Not a Buzz Word"
John Mayer Takes Politics by Storm
John Mayer had a gadget in hand at last night's BlackBerry Storm launch party in LA. While he loves to show off his newest toys, he also recently blogged for the Huffington Post about politics. John wrote passionately about Sept. 11, how it affected his generation, and why he supports Barack Obama. Here's an excerpt:
"I believe the definition of the 'hope' that Barack Obama enthuses operates on the unspoken thesis that there has to be a polar opposite to the despair of 9/11. Because if we accept that there's not, the will to live becomes forever altered. To adults who will vote for him, Barack Obama represents a return to prosperity. To the youth, he represents an introduction to it."
While John was out celebrating the hottest new BlackBerry, Barack Obama had a big night on television. There are just a few days until the election, so maybe we'll see the singer heading to the polls with also politically active Jennifer Aniston.
To see more photos from the event including AnnaLynne McCord, Joy Bryant, Kim Kardashian, and others, just read more.

You probably know Urban Dictionary as the place where parental types lurk and where the English language goes to die. As crass as the definitions are, they're occasionally accurate — especially in the case of these famous authors. Urban Dictionary users have a crude way of getting right to the point, which is where the humor in these definitions of iconic literary figures shines bright. They're not exactly factual, but we can't argue that Poe's life sucked, that Franz Kafka needs his own rock opera, or that Vonnegut is deserving of much worship.

Gorgeous Jane Austen Novel Illustrations From the Time Before Adaptations
Even if you are a hardcore Janeite, it's likely difficult for you to separate your imaginative experience of Austen's novels from the various film and television adaptations that have sprouted up in the last 20 years. Darcy just has to look like Colin Firth, right? And it's hard to imagine a Marianne Dashwood who doesn't have Kate Winslet's dreamy silliness. But obviously, for most of the books' lives, people didn't have those images in mind. And caught in a cache of images newly released to the public domain by the British Library are a number of illustrations from 19th-century editions of Austen's works that give us a glimpse of how artists once pictured those favorite scenes untouched by the graces of say, Gwyneth Paltrow. … Read More
25 Fabulously Cranky Mark Twain Quotes
Mark Twain was born on this day in 1835. He lived until his 70s, which he considered "the time of life when you arrive at a new and awful dignity." The writer regarded old age with the same acerbic wit that made him the greatest humorist of his time. Tragedy always seemed to be knocking at Twain's door. He lived through the death of three children and his wife, and financial troubles weighed heavy on him — but for Twain, "humor [was] the great thing, the saving thing after all." We've gathered 25 of Twain's crankiest quotes that celebrate the father of American literature's sharp tongue. … Read More

Harbury filedseveral lawsuits against U.S. government agencies and individual officials, charging that they repeatedly lied to herabout what they knew of her husband's death. Among the officials cited in the case are former Secretary of StateWarren Christopher, former national security adviser Anthony Lake, and five other White House and State Departmentofficials. While a federal judge dismissed her initial case, an appeals court reinstated parts of the suit, leadingthe State Department to seek review by the Supreme Court. That review was heard yesterday.

Love Accessories? Jewelry Tips You Can Use
Love Accessories? Jewelry Tips You Can Use
Jewelry is a confusing topic. Whether you are male or female, you have to be very careful about where you purchase your jewelry. Furthermore, the care of your items will ensure the value of your jewelry. The fact is that researching jewelry can be tough, so this article is a compilation of some helpful jewelry tips to guide you.
Try adding a special personal touch to your pieces by getting them professionally engraved. You can add just about anything and it makes it a more special and memorable piece to you or somebody you care about. You can get names, initials, small messages, symbols, etc. finely carved into your pieces to truly make them one-of-a-kind.
Make sure to get rings sized properly so that they will fit you or someone who you are giving the ring to. Either go to a professional or use the string trick. You don't want to play guessing games and end up having to return it several times to get it right. The ring should feel snug, but not too tight or two loose. Also, take into account, daily water weight fluctuation if you are measuring a finger yourself.
A great place to purchase almost any type of jewelry in the world is Ebay. Ebay is an amazingly large marketplace that serves as a gateway to the world. You can purchase affordable vintage, fashion and fine jewelry. Ebay can help you get the best deals and even purchase jewelry that has long since been considered rare or no longer manufactured.
Jewelry is a nice accessory to any outfit. Jeans and a t-shirt can look so ordinary, but great selection of fashionable watches paired with a cute chunky bracelet, or a fun pair of earrings, even the dullest outfit can look unique. A colorful choker necklace can brighten up any look, and a uniquely beaded ankle bracelet can accompany any old skirt. Mix and match traditional looks with nontraditional jewelry pieces to create one-of-a-kind looks you'll love.
Never, EVER buy fake jewelry for someone you love! That means gold-plated, cubic zirconia, or gold-filled. Stick to the real stuff – you can get a bargain on real gold, silver, or even platinum if you look hard enough. Fake jewelry can turn the skin black or green, and that is the LAST thing you want to do!
Buy dainty jewelry for slender women, and chunkier jewelry for a larger lady. If your wife is petite, then a tiny watch is appropriate. Buy the same watch for your six-foot tall spouse and it might not even fit on her wrist! Whatever you do, DON'T buy men's jewelry for a woman! She'll know the second she lays eyes on it and could be offended.
To wear jewelry without feeling uncomfortable, choose looser fitting pieces. While more restricting pieces like tight bracelets or chokers may look great, you won't be able to look your best if you're not comfortable. Light, loose necklaces are totally on trend and can be worn all day without causing you to experience discomfort.
To make sure your necklace matches your outfit, look for pieces that mimic your neckline. If you're wearing a v-neck top, pair it with a dramatic necklace that has angular elements. To compliment a scoop necked shirt, look for http://www.casablanca-bythesea.com/privacy-policy a necklace that's rounded. A boatneck top looks best with a long, dangling necklace.
Dry saunas and steam rooms can cause damage to jewelry. Significant damage can occur to the piece because of the high moisture and high temperatures.WatchesWhen buying jewelry as a gift, buy something that can be worn every day. Diamond stud earrings are an excellent choice as they go with anything.Watchesare also a very utilitarian option, just make sure it's classy but casual enough that she could wear it to work. Neutral colors are also an excellent choice.
Metal allergies can make wearing any type of jewelry, most especially wrist watches, itchy and painful. A simple way to alleviate the itch that some non-precious metals (common in many watch cases) can cause, change your watch band to one made of leather or cloth and then apply a coat of clear nail polish to the back of your watch. The nail polish, while not permanent, can easily be reapplied when needed and protects your skin from being in direct contact with the metal case of the watch. If the buckle of that new watch band is metal, don't forget to give it a coating of nail polish as well. Even that tiny bit of metal can cause some serious discomfort to those with sensitivities.
As you can see, there is a lot to be learned about jewelry. Whether you are purchasing jewelry for yourself or others, being prepared with knowledge will empower you as a consumer. Knowing how to properly maintain your pieces is also essential to maintaining their worth. Be a smart consumer and enjoy the benefits of these tips.
Great online weight loss programs Tips To Get You Back In Shape
Great online weight loss programs Tips To Get You Back In Shape
So, you think that you are an expert when it comes to the world of fitness, eh? You know how to work out effectively for your body? That's great, but you are far from done learning everything you need, on order to improve. Try looking at the tips below to find more to work on with your routine.
Rewards are a great way to motivate yourself. Something as simple as new workout clothes might be enough to keep you on track in your exercise program. A reward will give you motivation and help you show it off at the gym.
In order to get the most out of a fitness routine, be sure to work on your core. This is your abdominal region, and pretty much everything except for your limbs. It is important, because this region is used to stabilize the rest of your body, and it also is imperative to maintaining a healthy back. Be sure to check with a doctor to find out which core exercises suit you the best.
When working out, make sure you take your time and focus on doing any and all exercises properly. Even if you can't do as many or goes as long as you could if you were using short cuts, you'll get much better results by doing fewer perfect form exercises. Not to mention that by using short cuts or improper form you could end up injuring yourself
Having goals to achieve is a great way to get motivated. This encourages you to focus on overcoming obstacles instead of obsessing over their difficulty. In addition, it helps prevent you from giving up because you are forced to consider your fitness regimen as a continuing process.
To get the most out of your cardio workout, try interval training. Go as fast as you can for two minutes, and then rest for a minute. By moving your heart rate up and down like this, your workout is maximized, which means those calories are getting burned quicker than ever.
Exercise at home. Choosing to exercise at home you will be more apt to follow-through on your exercise routine. You won't have to waste time driving to the gym, parking, or wait on the equipment you want to use. Working out at home will also save you money.
Learning to cook healthy meals is an under-appreciated but important part of any fitness routine. Foods that come from the grocery store prepared or pre-cooked are packed with unhealthy additives like sodium and artificial sweeteners. Learning how to fix tasty, healthy meals using fresh ingredients frees the fitness-minded chef from these nasty artificial ingredients.
Ensure that you wear appropriate shoes during exercise sessions. When you don't wear the proper shoes for your exercise, you run the risk of injuring yourself. If you use the wrong shoes, your feet may hurt, discouraging you from continuing. Give yourself the best chance at success with the right shoes.
If you are embarking on a new fitness regimen, then a good pair of shoes should top the list of necessary equipment. Your shoes provide a foundation for your workout. They cushion and support your foot and help you get the most out of whichever exercise you choose to do.
Do your arm exercises in isolation. Isolating each individual arm will cause the specific arm to do more work than if you do both arms together. For example, when doing shoulder presses do one set with your right arm and then one with your left. The results will be better by doing each arm in isolation.
A great way to work out your calves are to do calf raises. You should either do seating calf raises, or standing calf raises. As you build up you will be adding weights in each hand to increase eat and lose weight the amount of weight that you calf has to raise.
A great fitness tip is to start doing chin-ups. Chin-ups are one of the best exercises you can do because they target more than one muscle group. They are great for building up your lat muscles, biceps, forearms, and even your abdominal muscles. They are very effective just by using your body weight.
If you have multiple children, try and find a sport they all like doing. If they can do the sport together, they'll be able to encourage each other and push each other. Not only that, but having a sibling to compete with may give them an extra push to put all their effort into it.Best Ways To Lose WeightSpinning classes can be a great fun way to get in shape. Many people go to the gym deciding that they solely want to focus on aerobic exercise to shed pounds. Well, spinning is one of thebest ways to lose weightbecause it removes the total amount of stress on your joints that you might get from long distance running, while still pairing it with a calorie-burning cardiovascular activity.

New York's top court on Thursday rejected some malpractice damage claims against defense lawyers by the people they represent unsuccessfully, concluding that allowing them could have "devastating consequences" for the criminal justice system.
The Court of Appeals unanimously said allowing damages for lost liberty and emotional distress would have "a chilling effect" on an already strapped defense bar in representing poor defendants and give them an incentive to not help with appeals.
The case stems from Thomas Dombrowski's convictions for attempted rape, sexual abuse and child endangerment in Allegany County. He spent five years in jail. A federal judge vacated his conviction, ruling that errors by defense lawyer Raymond Bulson made it hard for the jury to assess the accuser's credibility.
Dombrowski said his lawyer failed to investigate or present evidence for his defense, interview some potential witnesses or cross-examine the alleged victim about discrepancies in her testimony.
"Allowing this type of recovery would have, at best, negative and, at worst, devastating consequences for the criminal justice system," Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman wrote. "Most significantly, such a ruling could have a chilling effect on the willingness of the already strapped defense bar to represent indigent accused. Further, it would put attorneys in the position of having an incentive not to participate in post-conviction efforts to overturn wrongful convictions."
The court said defendants can still sue for monetary damages like lost wages, but a lower court judge notes that in this case Dombrowski's receipt of Social Security disability benefits while jailed precluded his claim for monetary damages.
Calls to the attorneys for Dombrowski and Bulson were not immediately returned Thursday.

WASECA, Minn. (AP) - The body of a fallen Marine from Minnesota has been returned to American soil.
A special Marine team carried a flag-draped transfer case containing the remains of Lance Cpl. Caleb Erickson from a military plane when it arrived at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware Tuesday.
The U.S. Department of Defense says the 20-year-old Marine from Waseca died Feb. 28 while involved in combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan. His family says Erickson was the gunner in the last truck of the convoy when it was attacked.
Erickson was a 2012 graduate of Waseca High School. His unit was based at Camp Lejeune, N.C..
Funeral services will be held on Monday, March 10 at 10:30 A.M. at Grace Lutheran Church in Waseca. Burial will follow at Woodville Cemetery in Waseca.

Bloodhound to stretch its legs at Hakskeen Pan in 2013 dry seasonBack

The current land speed record, at 1 227 km/h, was set in 1997, by the Thrust supersonic car (SSC). The Bloodhound SSC, named after a decades-old UK missile, would have the same driver the Thrust had: Royal Air Force Wing Commander Andy Green.
The British team working to break the record on Hakskeen Pan, in the Northern Cape, will first aim for a 'modest' improvement on the current record, at 1 300 km/h in 2013, with the ultimate goal of 1 600 km/h to be left for 2014, said Green on Thursday.
Officially the fastest man on earth, Green visited South Africa this week to see how work on clearing stones and rocks from the pan was progressing.
"We need to do the run in the dry season, which is the third quarter of 2013 – if everything works out perfectly, which is unlikely. We are building something like a spaceship on a very tight budget," he told Engineering News Online.
The Bloodhound, which would have the equivalent horsepower of 180 Formula One racing cars, was designed to cover 16 km in less than two minutes, and to blast from zero to 1 600 km/h – or 1.4 times the speed of sound, and faster than a bullet fired from a Magnum .357 – in under a minute. To achieve this, it would make use of a rocket, a jet from a fighter aircraft, and the engine of a F1 racing car, giving the car a helluva lot of thrust at 212 kN.
Green said the Bloodhound's major chassis components should be assembled by Christmas this year, with the engine, rocket and fuel tank added by the first quarter of next year.
This would be followed by a test programme for the hand-built prototype, which would include some airfield runs. However, warned Green, inclement weather such as seen in the UK this year, might thwart this schedule.
The 1 300 km/h attempt would serve to determine "how the desert reacts", he added.
The team had to consider the impact of various factors, such as shock waves and rolling resistance – with too little of the latter "creating a problem to stop".
To officially set the record, the Bloodhound would need to complete two runs in opposite directions within one hour. The average speed of the two runs would then be taken as the speed achieved. This meant the ability to control the car's stopping and, therefore, the turnaround time, would be key to the success of the record attempt.
"We'll pause, look at the data, do some re-engineering through the rainy season, and then bring the car back in 2014 for the 1 600 km/h attempt. We need to establish the car's credibility. This is probably the safest way to do it," explained Green.
The entire attempt would rack up a bill of roughly R200-million, with two-thirds of this already promised.
"It looks like we have money to build the car. The closer we get to the record attempt, with something to show, the easier it will be to get sponsors," said Green.
Should the euro collapse, however, through the continued economic turmoil in Europe, it could become "much more difficult" to find sponsors, he added.
Apparently this piece of desert is no longer flat enough. The surface had to be dead-flat and firm, but with some 'give' in it, so the Bloodhound's solid aluminium wheels could dig in a few centimetres and find lateral grip.
South Africa had the biggest and firmest dried-out lake bed in Hakskeen Pan. However, this pan first had to be cleared of stones of all sizes. If one of the Bloodhound's front wheels flicked up a stone it could come at the car at the speed of a bullet.
This meant the Bloodhound team had been working with the Northern Cape government to ensure the pan could become a world-class race-track.
Three-hundred local people had now cleared the 19-km-long and 500-m-wide track for the record attempt. This was a 19.5-million m2 area – the largest area ever cleared by hand, said Green.
Work would now start on clearing the track's side areas.
"It's like starting in Johannesburg and clearing two lanes of the N1 all the way to Cape Town – and now you have to turn around and do another two lanes," said Green.
It would be worth it, though, as Hakskeen Pan could be the world's "most famous piece of track" by this time next year.
As happened with the job of clearing the track, Green said the Bloodhound team would like to see several franchises, such as T-shirts commemorating the record attempt, go to local entrepreneurs.
The Northern Cape would also benefit from local sponsor, MTN, erecting several masts to enable global coverage of the record attempts.
"We need to have video of the event, data on the car, and stream it across the globe. We'll also have a huge global audience watching this attempt," said Green.
This meant the remote Hakskeen Pan would have access to some of the fastest phone and Internet coverage in the country – which seems quite appropriate considering what could happen 12 months from now.
