Application mea Aprnhi, 1925. serial No. 20,732.
The present invention relates in general to shoes, and more specifically to novel illuminating means incorporated in the heel structure of shoes..
The primary object of the'invention being to provide a light projecting attachment for shoes, whereby the light rays from the illuminating means may be directed to effectively illuminate'the adjacent surface upon which a person is walking.
A further object of the invention is the incorporation within. the heel structure of:y
shoes, an illuminating means of the self containing type, and which is so disposed as to prevent direct light rays from the illuminating means striking the eyes of the person wearing the device. j
A still further object resides in the novel construction of the device which permits yof easy attachment, ready detachment for replacing of parts, and compactness of parts which permits of the heel structure being of ordinary configuration.
Otler objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, and in which drawing,
' Figure l is a fragmentary side view of a shoe, and showing the improved illuminating device applied thereto, the illuminating device and its adjacent shoe portion being shown in central vertical sectlon.
Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 2-2 Vof Fig-y ure 1, and looking downwardly.4
Figure 3 is aM slightly. reduced top plan view of the device shown detached from the shoe; and,
Figure 4 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the heel portion of a shoe and showing .the attaching means for the illuminatingy devlce. I
Referring to the drawing in deta1l, wherebut the preferred embodiment of the invention, and wherein'similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A designates a shoe of ordinary construction, including an upperB; a sole portion C, and a lift D, said liftfbeing rigidly secured to the rear portion ofthe sole portion C and forming a fixed upper heel section `for detachably receiving the vimproved heel structure designated as a whole by the letter E. The heel structure E which forms the lower lift for the heel of the shoe comprises a major heel ,section F; a self-contained illuminating ineans Q, and a switch mechanism H.
The major heel section F, which may be formed of any suitable material such as rubber, leather, or a composite material, preferably has embedded in the upper surface thereof, a plurality of stud members 5 having enlarged head portions thereof projecting past the upper 'surface of the. section .for engaging in a plurality of similarly arranged yieldable sockets 6 embedded in the lower surface of the upperlift section D. rIfhese stud members 5 and yieldable sockets 6 provide means for permitting` of ready and easy attaching and detaching of the major heel section from the upper lift section D, thus permitting of ready replacing of parts, and allowing yfor interchanging of the'heel structure E should it become desirable to merely attach the light projecting heel structure when travelling at night or.' when passing through dark passageways. Formed in the heel section F, and extendingfrom the .front wall 7 to the rear arcuate wall 8, is a 4pocket of special configuration formed with -the pocket portion 9 preferably flares outwardly as at 12, and terminates adjacent the marginal edges of the ,front face 7. This pocket maybe formed in the heel in any desired manner, either during moulding of the heel.; should the same be of rubber, or during construction thereof should the heel be formed of a plurality of leather lifts.
Fitting in the pocket formed in the heel section F, and conforming to the configuration of the pocket, is a metal lining 13 formed at its rear end with a switch housing 14 adapted to fit in the reduced pocket portion l0 with its rear wall 15 closing the rear en`d` of the pocket` and/conforming to the curvature of the rear heel wall 8. Fitting in the flaring i portion`16 ofthe lining 13x and in electrical contact therewith, is a metal reflector 17 provided atfis axial center with a threaded socket portion 18 adapted for threaded reception of an ordinary electric lamp 19 of the shell and central contact type A lens 20 is disposed at the forward edge of the reflector 17 and may bev held in position as by bending the forward ends of the lining 13 about the edges of the lens as at 21.
A ,battery 22 of ordinary construction, being enclosed by a layer of insulating` ma; terial 23, and provided atone end thereof with the usual spring contact arm 24, is adapted to be positioned in theinterme'diate pocket portion 9 with the contact arm 24 thereof in electrical contact with the central contact of the lamp 19. When in position in' the pocket, it will be seen that .the
shoulders 11 will limit rearward movement of the battery within the pocket.
Referring now to the switch mechanism H for completing the circuit through the lamp 19, the same embodies in part, a
semi-circular shaped spring contact arm'25 having one end thereof rigidly secured to the bottom wall of the shell of positive terminal of the battery 22 and extending rearwardly into the switch housing 14. Se-
cured to one side of the metal housing 14, is.
a spring switch arm 26 adapted to have its -free end portion moved into contact with the rear end of the contact arm 25 upon sliding movement of a button 27 mounted in a slot in the rear housing wall 15, and havingthe head thereof extending* outwardly of the housing for permitting Vof ready manipulationv thereof. Y
It will readily be seen that upon closing` of the circuit `between the contacts 25 and 26, that a circuit will be completed through the metal lining 1 3 to the shell of the elec"A tric lamp 19 for lighting the lamp.
Any suitable means such as cement or suitable fastening elements may be employed for securing the illuminating means within the heel F; and if desirable the channel section 28 disposed at the upper edge of the lens 20 may be capable of being slid transversely of the lining 13 for per-Y parts when such' apart contact arms disposed inwar contact arm. f
and described, without departing from the."
spirit of the invention or the scope of the .p
following claims.

Angels stay hot, beat Royals 6-2 - 0 Comments
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Neither rain nor the Kansas City Royals could stop the Los Angeles Angels from winning again.
Albert Pujols and David Freese combined to drive in five runs as the Angels beat the Royals 6-2 on Saturday for their seventh victory in eight games.
There were two rain delays with the second after the fourth inning lasting 3:58. The game didn't end until nearly 7 hours after it started.
"We had a lot of waiting in between a baseball game," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
The official game time was 2:48, while the rain delays totaled 4:06.

Hi, has anybody had this done or given it any thought? I should be ordering an 'AC' in the new year and was thinking of getting a couple of the ano cable stops fitted on top of the top tube (like the one's for the front mech cable). I've got a KS-900 post, so the cable goes in front of post.
I don't want to resort to cable ties around the frame when buying a custom bike!
Cheers for any help with this, DF.

Russian official says World Cup to cost $20B
Published June 13, 2013 9:17 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Moscow • Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says the costs for the 2018 World Cup will be more than $20 billion, about double the amount Russia originally estimated it would spend.
Medvedev told his Cabinet on Thursday that $13 billion of the cost would come from the federal budget.
When Russia won the bid for the World Cup in 2010, Vladimir Putin projected the costs at about $10 billion.
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, one of the Russian president's pet projects, has seen huge cost overruns. The estimates have increased nearly fourfold to $51 billion.

Charleston: A Historic Walking Tour
Arcadia Publishing, 2005 - History - 128 pages
Charleston: A Historic Walking Tour will help natives and visitors alike appreciate the history and residents of this beautiful city. With its architecture, palm trees, and cobblestone streets, Charleston is one of the South's great cultural destinations. Its ballrooms and benevolent society halls attest to grand periods of opulence and high living. The theater, libraries, museum, and college show an appreciation for culture and sophistication. But don't let the city's beauty hide its turbulent history. The horrors of bombardment and occupation by conquering armies have left their marks. The city has experienced bleak times and disasters, including fires, a devastating earthquake, and hurricanes, not to mention the challenges of Reconstruction. Yet Charleston has survived its darker days, and now may be the city's finest hour. Neighborhoods from Calhoun Street to the Battery are in better condition today than they have ever been before. This book offers three tours to explore the historic downtown: the Meeting Street loop, the Legare Street loop, and the Ansonborough tour. Enjoy the walk, and let the city tell you its story.

Western New York is getting hit with another round of winter weather, and we want to see your pet's "snow beard".
While we've been dealing with wind, snow and negative temperatures, the South has been dealing with crippling inches of snow.
A lot of my winters as a child were spent going to Holiday Valley. My dad grew up a skier and made sure his kids did too! We would go out west to Tahoe and Angel Fire; we even spent one Christmas at Killington in Vermont. However, many weekends we made the haul to Ellicottville.
We're all guilty of it, be honest. The patio furniture tends to show off the accumulation best!
So what's wrong with sending your TV or radio stations these pictures? Well, this weather guy in Colorado will tell you!
As we near the end of the calendar, the days are getting shorter and the air is getting colder. We all know what comes next: snow. While this is incredibly exciting to some people, many of us hear that four-letter word and instantly cringe.
Here's a cute little video to start off your Wednesday. The Buffalo Zoo's baby polar bear cub Luna was given a chance to play in some Buffalo snow for the first time.
New York City has seen some bad weather recently, but nothing close to this. New York ground to a near halt in the face of huge snow drifts and strong winds. It was back when one in every four Americans lived in the area between Washington D.C. and Maine.

1. Field of the Invention
This field relates to software, and, more particularly to a system and method for altering a Windows-type registry.
2. Description
Computer systems have attained widespread use for providing computer power to many segments of today's modem society. A personal computer system can usually be defined as a desk top, floor standing, or portable microcomputer that includes a system unit having one or more system processors and associated volatile and non-volatile memory, a display monitor, a keyboard, one or more diskette drives, a fixed disk storage device and an optional printer. One of the distinguishing characteristics of these systems is the use of a system board to electrically connect these components together. These personal computer systems are information handling systems which are designed primarily to give independent computing power to a single user (or a group of users in the case of personal computers which serve as computer server systems) and are inexpensively priced for purchase by individuals or small businesses.
A personal computer system may also include one or a plurality of I/O devices (i.e. peripheral devices) which are coupled to the system processor and which perform specialized functions. Examples of I/O devices include modems, sound and video devices or specialized communication devices. Mass storage devices such as hard disks, CD-ROM drives and magneto-optical drives are also considered to be peripheral devices.
Manufacturers of personal computers often pre-install an operating system, such as the Microsoft Windows NT™ operating system, the Microsoft Windows 2000™ operating system, or the IBM OS/2™ operating system. These modem operating systems are increasingly large in terms of both complexity and storage requirements, often requiring several hundred megabytes of hard drive space. When a manufacturer installs an operating system, the manufacturer may use another computer to copy an image of the operating system from a separate hard drive onto the target hard drive being created, or the manufacturer may install the operating system on each machine sold.
Whether copying an image of a hard drive or installing the operating system on each customer system, changing the configuration of a customer's system once the system has been sold to the customer to provide customizations is a lengthy technical procedure.
One part of an operating system that a customer may desire customizing or editing that is present on some Windows-type operating systems is the registry.
Long after a computer system is sold it may be discovered that a registry key needs to be deleted or edited. However, security systems within the operating systems can prohibit a computer user from resolving the problems associated with the registry keys. For example, a computer user may be a network user who is working on a computer system connected to a network. The security system in Windows NT prevents certain users from accessing each registry key. In order to delete or edit a problem registry key, a user with Administrator privileges must follow difficult and highly technical steps. Often, a call to the manufacturer technical support is necessary to complete the task of removing registry keys.
What is needed is an efficient system and method of editing registry keys from a Windows NT or similar Windows operating systems.
A computer system and method modifies registry keys via a self-deleting background process that downloads to a user's desktop and bypasses operating system securities. The background process modifies configuration files in a registry via a downloadable desktop component. A method for a computer system having a registry includes installing a background process, bypassing computer operating system securities for the registry via the background process, modifying the registry via the background process, and removing the background process. The method further includes providing a desktop component related to an executable file that executes when the user selects the desktop component. Following the execution of the executable file, the method includes modifying configuration files including registry keys and automatically removing the executable file, the desktop component and files associated with the executable file.
A computer system includes a processor coupled to a bus, at least one memory coupled to the bus, a plurality of input/output devices coupled to the bus, and an operating system stored in memory, the operating system includes a registry of configuration files, operating system securities for the registry, the operating system securities preventing modification of the registry according to a permissions system, a self-deleting background process, wherein the background process bypasses the operating system securities for the registry via the background process, and the background process modifies configuration files in the registry. The computer system also includes a user-activated desktop component that is related to an executable file that installs the self-deleting background process. The executable file removes the user-activated desktop component after the configuration files are modified. The computer system also includes a self-deleting executable file including a utility file that installs the self-deleting background process.

The use of the same reference symbols in different drawings indicates similar or identical items.
A personal computer manufacturing process is shown in FIG. 1. Computer system 100 is first assembled at hardware manufacture section 102 with various hardware components including a power supply 115, a system board with a processor 120, nonvolatile storage 125, and memory 130. Additional components 135 may also be installed and may include items such as a tape drive, a compact disk read-only-memory (CD-ROM), as well as other components that may have been ordered by the customer. Nonvolatile storage device 125 may be a hard disk drive or any device that holds information when the computer system is powered off.
After the hardware of computer system 100 is installed, computer system 100 is transferred to software installation section 104. During software installation section 104, a standard operating system and applications are installed by manufacturing computer system 150. Manufacturing computer system 150 either reads disk images or copies install programs from a factory server 155. Disk images or the install programs are stored onto a nonvolatile storage device by various means known by those skilled in the art. Manufacturing computer system 150 may also install selected components from software products to further customize computer system 100. Software packages and suites, such as Microsoft Office™, contain several software applications. In the case of Microsoft Office™, the suite contains a word processor (Microsoft Word™), a spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel™), a database (Microsoft Access™), a presentation application (Microsoft Powerpoint™), and a personal information manager (Microsoft Outlook™). Customers may request that any one or more of such applications from the suite be installed onto computer system 100. Manufacturing computer system can also be used to install such applications onto computer system 100. Computer system 100 is powered up and assists in the installation process and may also execute installation programs to install applications onto nonvolatile storage device 125. The operator of manufacturing computer system 150 may be a person or an automated program which determines which disk image or install programs should be installed to the nonvolatile storage device 125 previously installed in computer system 100.
To customize computer system 100, a generic installation program and modified configuration files may be stored on and loaded onto the nonvolatile storage device 125 previously installed in computer system 100.
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, disk images or install programs on server 155 and custom components 175 may be stored on the same nonvolatile storage device. In addition, a local area network (LAN) may be used to connect manufacturing system 150 and custom installation system 170 to nonvolatile storage devices containing disk images and install programs from server 155 and custom components 175.
FIG. 2 shows operating system files 220 that are modifiable using an embodiment of the present invention. Included in the files are configuration files, desktop component files, application files and device driver files.
FIG. 3 shows a detailed view of operating system 220 configuration files. In some operating systems, such as Windows 95™ and Windows NT™, the configuration files of operating system files 220 form a registry for storing configuration information. The registry in Windows NT contains configuration information as hidden SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT files. These files automatically change whenever a user makes configuration changes via the Control Panel or when the registry is directly edited. The registry contains six divisions, each beginning with "HKEY_". The HKEY stands for a programming "handle" to a "key", or division. The divisions include "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" 310, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" 312, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" 314, "HKEY_USERS" 316, "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG" 318, and "HKEY_DYN_DATA" 320. The registry organizes the six divisions hierarchically so that each HKEY contains subkeys and sub-subkeys etc. A utility called a "registry editor" (regedit.exe) is included with Windows 95™ and Windows NT™ for viewing the keys and subkeys. Windows NT™ provides a newer registry editor in addition to regedit.exe, i.e., regedt32.exe.
FIG. 4 shows an example of a registry editor 400 for a Windows95 or later operating system. As shown, the registry editor 400 appears as a list of "folders" 410 and resembles the application "Windows Explorer™."
Referring now to FIG. 5, a registry in Windows NT and some similar systems implements a Service Control Manager (SCM) 500. The SCM 500 manages and operates Win32 services 510. A Windows NT service is a 32 bit executable (Win32) service 510 that is a background process run as an executable controlled by the SCM 500, registered with the SCM 500 and capable of responding to SCM commands 520. Additionally, a Win32 service 510 has its own NT login session 530 or can share a login session with another service 510. Often, a Win32 service 510 is loaded by the SCM 500 at bootup and operates independently without requiring a user to be logged in. Optionally, a Win32 service 510 is capable of manual launch by a user using, for example, a Windows NT applet 540 or other program that interfaces with the SCM 500.
Background processes typically run with services include hardware drivers and hardware applications, server applications, and communication and database software 550. Win32 services are either graphical user interface (GUI) type applications or console type applications.
Each Win32 service 510 includes a "main ( )" function 560 that registers the service so that the SCM 500 will start the service at an appropriate time.
More specifically, the main() function 560 registers the service with the SCM 500. One method of registering a service is calling the function StartServiceCtrlDispatcher( ) 570 which has a single parameter that is a pointer to an array of SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY structures 572. Alternatively, a Win32 API (Application Programmers Interface) function 580 RegisterServiceCtrlHandler( ) registers a handler( ) function with the SCM 500. The function calls service control requests 592 and the main( ) function 560 starts a thread that performs a service function. The handler( ) function receives control requests from the SCM 500. Typical control requests 592 include:
(SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP); (SERVICE_CONTROL_PAUSE); (SERVICE_CONTROL_CONTINUE); (SERVICE_CONTROL_INTERROGATE); and (SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN).
Typically, user requests concerning a service are passed through the SCM and parameters are placed in the service area of the registry. Each service alters registry subkeys or values in a designated key such as registry key,
In systems with Windows NT or similar systems, the access to the registry and the SCM is controlled through a security system. The Windows NT system, in particular, includes built-in privileges such as an administrative level privilege and a system level privilege. The system level privilege is the broadest level and the administrative level privilege is the second broadest level of privileges. The administrative level privilege allows administrators to create users and to define privileges for individual users at different privilege levels.
In order to delete any problem registry keys, a user must follow difficult and highly technical steps. Often, a call to the manufacturer's technical support is necessary to complete the task of removing registry keys.
Referring to FIG. 6, a procedure 600 for deleting registry keys is shown that requires Administrator privileges. According the procedure, a user must logon as an Administrator 602, run a Windows registry editor application, such as regedt32.exe 604. Next, the user must locate a title bar for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and click the title bar with a mouse 606, double-click on SYSTEM, double-click on CurrentControlSet; double-click on Enum; and single-click on Root. The user must then open a pull-down menu for Security and select Permissions 608. Within the Permissions window, a registry Key Permissions window includes an Add button. The Add button is used to change access to full control for administrators 610. The user selects the Add button and an Add Users and Groups dialog box displays. The user selects Administrators and another Add button. Next, the user copies the username "Administrator" to the bottom panel of the window. The user then selects a "Type of Access" dialog box, selects "Full Control" and closes the window by selecting "OK". A resulting checkbox "Replace Permission on Existing Subkeys" appears as well as an "OK" button to select for replacing the permission on all existing subkeys 612. A change in permissions then allows a user to use Windows NT Explorer to locate and select a delregs.inf file. By installing the deiregs.inf file, any keys in the registry that need to be deleted are removed 614.
There are several problems associated with the above-described procedure. First, the entire procedure requires Administrator-level privileges or higher to implement any part of the procedure. Second, there are numerous technical steps required to accomplish the task.
Referring now to FIG. 7, a flow diagram 700 illustrates a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in step 702, the components modifysys.exe and runpatch.exe are installed. The installation is accomplished via a user clicking on an icon that was previously installed on the operating system, or that was downloaded from a network. In step 710, the component patch.exe executes and installs itself as a service (DellSvc) and registers itself as a service with the SCM. Referring to step 720, runpatch.exe executes and starts DellSvc via the SCH. The SCM then launches "DellSvc", which calls the modifysys.exe component as part of step 730. More specifically, DellSvc executes, calling the modifysys.exe program. Because the service DellSvc calls the modifysys.exe component, the service runs with the same privileges that a service has, i.e., system level privileges and performs the modifications to the registry.
Referring to step 740, component patch.exe executes and uninstalls itself as a service. More specifically, the DellSvc is removed and all service files are removed from the system.
The procedure outlined in flow diagram 700 is capable of being contained in a "patch" application that performs the steps of installing the application as a service, running the service and uninstalling the service. Under one embodiment, the "patch" contains two executable files. One file contains a service executable that functions as a service, deleting or editing registry keys directly as well as installing and uninstalling itself. The second executable file contains a "runpatch" executable, which is a program launched by the user that communicates with the SCM to launch the service executable, monitors the progress of the service, exits when the service is complete, and deletes the service files.
More specifically, still referring to FIG. 7, the patch.exe executable contains three individual components shown in FIG. 8: Patch Installer, DellPatchMain, and patch. The combination of the three components making up patch.exe first installs itself as a service. This service runs component modifysys.exe program as one of its actions. The program bypasses securities to allow modification of registry keys that have "system" level permissions. Step 730 includes editing keys within the registry, including deleting keys that are unnecessary for a particular user with administrator privileges. Step 740 refers to uninstalling DellSvc by running patch.exe and deleting all patch files included in the three individual programs described above from the operating system.
Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 in combination, step 710, the runpatch.exe component contacts the SCM 500 and requests that DellSvc be run. The DellSvc uses patch.exe as its service executable. More specifically, the SCM 500 runs the program patch.exe to run DellSvc. When the SCM 500 send the run command 520 to the DellSvc, the service will launch patch.exe and call a run ( ) function 808. Main 560 represents the component of the service shown in FIG. 8, 808. Main 560 optionally runs a workspace file such as a file written using Microsoft® Developer Studio software. Also, as one skilled in the art will appreciate, the programs and utilities described herein can be written as a C++ program or another appropriate programming language for Windows NT or Windows 2000.
Referring to FIG. 8, pseudo code for the present invention is shown. As shown, the Windows NT service is shown in 802 as having three parts: "Patch" 804, "Patchlnstaller" 806 and "DellPatchMain" 808. The pseudo code in 810 shows the execution of "main", which runs a first execution 812 that installs the service, the service is a Windows NT service that is capable of operating under system level security permissions. The second execution of "main" 814 starts the service installed by the first execution 812. The service is started via a service control manager (SCM) handle and is called by the SCM at "run" 816. The "run" command 816 performs the registry modifications. The final execution of main 820 performs a clean-up procedure in which all aspects of the patch.exe program are deleted including the removal 818 of the service. Accordingly, the patch.exe program is capable of being executed by a user with administrative level permissions and capable of using system level privileges to modify the registry.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that the patch.exe can be installed by an administrator which has no system level permissions, and perform registry operations and editing despite the lack of permissions to do so. The patch.exe component is capable of being installed on an administrator's system via a computer network or a local LAN and being run by simply clicking on the program at the command line or, alternatively, by clicking on icon keys.
Referring to FIG. 9, a block diagram shows computer system 900 that is suitably configured for the embodiments of the present invention. The computer system 900, typically a personal computer, includes a processor 910, a system random access memory (RAM) 920, a system ROM 922, a CD-ROM drive 932, and various other input/output devices 940. The computer system 900 is shown to include a hard disk drive 930 connected to the processor 910 although some embodiments do not include the hard disk drive 930. Optionally, computer system 900 includes a bootable operating system compact disk (CD) for use with a computer system with or without a hard disk drive installed and formatted. Such a CD is useful when the computer system 900 either does not include a hard disk drive 930 or the hard disk drive 930 does not have an operating system, for example the Windows NT operating system, installed on the hard disk drive 930.
The processor 910 communicates with the system components via a bus 950 which includes data, address and control lines. A CMOS clock nonvolatile RAM 960, which is connected to the processor 910 via the bus 950, is typically utilized to store information even when power to the computer system 900 is interrupted. Program instructions that make up the system for modifying registry keys are stored in a storage device such as the hard disk drive 930 or the system ROM 922 connected to the processor 910. The processor 910, for example a Pentium™ processor, executes the computing operations of the computer system 900.
Although the invention has been described with reference to various embodiments, it will be understood that these embodiments are illustrative and that the scope of the invention is not limited to them. Many variations, modifications, additions and improvements of the embodiments described are possible. Those skilled in the art will readily implement the steps necessary to provide the structures and methods disclosed herein, and will understand that the process parameters are given by way of example only and can be varied to achieve the desired structure as well as modifications which are within the scope of the invention.

You are "misrable but I do love him" notice anything wrong with that sentence?!
This is not love, this is bull*hit. Pure and simple.
He plays mr lover to fool you into you. You my friend are being played.
You need to leave and be a strong person. When he tries "he makes it hard to leave with his tantrums and constant rude texts if I do which he uses things against me, even private personal and embarrassing things which no one should do especially if your sick" you need still walk out the door. He doesn't respect you, you have no back bone. I'm sure you can think of embarrassing things about him that you could tell.
This is not love. You are foolish if you think otherwise.
My ex cheated (with his ex girlfriend who was in town) and I kicked him to the curb, never looked back.
This man does not match your value.

Historical Traveler Reviews Anastasia Inn Saint Augustine
Not what I expected after reading the reviews on this site
My family and I stayed at the Anastasia Inn for one night on 06/27/05 and unfortunately I was dissapointed after reading all the raves about this property on this website.
The rate was reasonable, but you obviously get what you pay for and for $59.00 a night what we got was a small room with two very unconfortable queen beds and pillows.
The carpet looked worned out and dirty (it had several stains from the doorway to the fridge and sink area) the noisy air conditioner kept malfunctioning throughtout the night and the room was warm.
The door had an inch gap when closed which allowed all the noise from the street to come through, said noisy atmosphere was emphasized by the patrons from the pub that sits accross the street from the hotel.
Speaking of location, they are not within easy walking distance to the historic sites, they are not located in the historic district as they advertise, instead they are located in the Anastsia Island area over the bridge of lions.
The only things I can agree with are that the rate was indeed inexpensive, the staff was courteous and that the pool is quite small, so small that it looks like an oversized hot tub instead of a pool.
I am surprised this property has a AAA rating, it is advertised as a new property but I would have to say that is nothing more than a motel built about 5 to 6 years ago in the process of getting ran down, even the chairs in the office looked worn out, the arm rests had holes in the fabric, that should have been my first clue to leave and stay elsewhere!
Wonderful Weekend
My husband and I took my parents to St. Augustine for a three day weekend. I wanted my parents to have a nice relaxing weekend away and I spent a lot of time trying to find the best place. The Anastasia is just over the bridge of lions so it's convenient. I finally made reservations at the Anastasia Inn and crossed my fingers. What a great surprise. The rate was great which scared me a bit. The rooms all have a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. Best of all, they were so CLEAN. The staff was so friendly. I expected stale doughnuts and old coffee for the complimentary breakfast. Instead I found fresh coffee, bagels, four types of cereal, two kinds of muffins, milk and orange juice! The staff was helpful, answered questions, and even gave us directions. We had such a good time, we're going back this weekend with friends. If I absolutely had to say something negative, the pool is small. This was not a factor for me, I didn't even have time to get in it anyway. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable room at a decent rate, the Anastasia is the place to go.
Wonderful Stay
We travel to St. Augustine several times of the year and have always wanted to stay here but it is always full and now we know why!
We made reservations on the phone and upon arrival had an excellent welcome.
The young lady took time to explain stuff and did not mind answering any of our questions.
Our room was beautiful. It smelt fresh and was spotless. We slept like babies.
The continental breasfast was just what we needed.
We will be staying here whnever we go to St Augustine
Big Disappointment!
I booked 2 nights at this hotel based on the good reviews it has gotten in the past. Someone raved at the size and cleanliness of the room. First, it was just an average sized room; second, remnants of the previous occupants snack of peanuts were on the carpet at the edge of the bedside; the carpet under the bed was thick with dust bunnies.
But worst of all were the beds and pillows! The mattress was only slighter softer than sleeping on a piece of plywood. The pillows were hard and uncomfortable as well. It was nearly impossible to fall asleep and when I finally did, the noisy A/C unit was kind enough to wake me at regular intervals. It was the worst night's sleep I'd gotten since I brought my son home from the hospital following his birth.
I cancelled my second night and reserved a room at the Castillo Real on A1A South. World of a difference! No noisy A/C unit, the king sized bed was super comfy, the room was large, clean and beautifully decorated. I paid $40 more, but it was well worth it. I would not recommend staying at the Anastasia Inn unless you are a masochist.
A Great Clean Hotel
For the price I paid for this room, I couldn't believe the cleanliness and size of the room, not to mention it having both a microwave and a small fridge. I whole heartedly recommend this fine facility. The bed was very comfortable, also.
The Best!
This is the best motel I've ever been to! Very clean with refrigerator, microwave, in room fresh coffee everyday. Staff courteous and helpful. We stayed 6 nights. Atmosphere very quite. Pool small but clean and grounds well kept.
Great Price, Great Place to Stay
This was a great place to stay in St. Augustine. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The rooms are nicely furnished and very, very clean, and the staff kept them clean every day. The continental breakfast is a plus.
Great location, just across the Bridge of Lions. For $15 for three days, the Beach Bus picks you up right in front of the motel and brings you downtown. The $15 includes a three-day pass on the trolley, which brings you around the city and lets you on and off at a dozen or so different stops.
Best place in town
The best place to stay. Reasonable price and very, very clean. Friendly staff who will go out of their way when you check in to help you with questions. Ideal location. Very quiet at night. Pool was perfectWill stay there whenever we go
Excellent place to stay
We like to visit Saint Augustine every year and this time instead of camping we decided to stay in a hotel. We had reservations in another hotel already but then we called Anastasia Inn and found out about theirs rates and decided to reserve there. We don't regret it. The room was so clean and the service so good that we will definitely go back next year and it is so close to many of the towns attractions that we only had to walk to get there. We will definitely recomend it.
Acceptable Anastasia
We live in Florida and travel around quite a bit. Hotels / motels in Florida are for the most part over expensive and generally a rip off. You gets what you pays for and many times you don't get what you actually did pay for!! Kissimee and St Augustine are 2 very good examples. Kissimee is a crap shoot, mostly crap not too much shoot unfortunately. St Augustine is just expensive - way more than it warrants. However if you want to stay somewhere that is actually pretty honest in that berg The Anastasia Inn is kinda nice. My wife and I stayed there in August 2001 for a quick break. It was about $60 per night, expensive for off season (August is off season in Florida - it is frighteningly hot and muggy, more of an endurance test than a vacation, but anyway). The asian owners are super professional they obviously have experience in the "accommodation" business. The entire experience had elements about it that normally you would only taste at a more expensive establishment. The "continental" breakfast that was included was actually worth getting. It consisted of small muffins, real bagels (again small) and the coffe wasn't bad. Better than the stale doughnuts (still in the Dunkin' Doughnuts box) and coffee that is so weak you can see the bottom of the styrofoam cup one usually is treated to in Florida. In the room the furniture was very nice and beautifully taken care of. The beds were very comfortable and the room service was extremely good. In the room there was a fridge and coffee/tea making facilities a la British style. The room was ina word CLEAN!! I have stayed in some fancy hotels in the far east where they know what the word "service" actually means and this was approaching that level of pleasantness. Overall this motel was clean, efficient, quiet and most importantly HONEST. Now some negatives, there has to be some right? The "swimming pool" is a joke. It is so small it should be a comical attraction. Do not allow the fact that this place has a pool swaugustine!! Head for the Red Roof Inn if that is really important to you, however I think you will regret it. #2 remember that St Augustine is divided in 2. The Bridge of Lions separates the 2 halves. The Anastasia Inn is on the wrong side of the bridge. It is just over the bridge, however you wouldn't want to walk it. You have a car though don't you? Come over to the other side of the bridge, park up (you can still find free spots) and jump on the little train that bombs around the interesting places. It'll be fun, trust an old Brit with 20 years in Florida. Enjoy St. Augustine and don't get too ripped off. Oh by the way don't go near the "British Pub" a few miles outside the city, it is super expensive and only has a passing resemblance to English food. 'Nuf said. Steve

Clashes between the Spaniards and the British became more frequent when the English colonies were established in the Carolinas, and later, in Georgia. As a consequence, the Spanish moved to strengthen their defenses, beginning in 1672 construction of a permanent stone fortress. The Castillo de San Marcos was brought to completion late in the century, just in time to meet an attack by British forces from the Carolinas in 1702. Unable to take ...

15th pregnancy..
Kimberly + DH
Nahh youre a negative nancy for getting on someones back for grammar when this whole post is about loosing children and hoping a pregnancy goes by well. Can you say IGNORANCE? If your so good with grammar then go back an read silly girl. Seriously... and if it is fake than good for her, she did well. But if you look at the posts she commented on previously than you'd realize youre being immature. I'm sorry but you grown women giving a girl crap for seeking advice is just setting a HORRIBLE example for your children... Just sayinnnn.....
15 pregnancies... possible.
14 losses... possible.
What if your kids were failing in grammar class?? Because based on our use of technology these days, they will most likely do that same as this girl did. Would you taunt them? I hope not. Just saying being a Negative Nancy isn't going to prove whether or not this is fake, it's not going to correct a person's grammar, and it's certainly not making you ladies look like mature, responsible, young? (I'd hope so for your immaturity), and caring mothers... Seems like a bunch of high school girls tagging up on the new girl cause she didn't spell something right., Ohhh waaaaahhhhh. Get over yourselves. My little nephew could out smart you and show more respect than you girls. He's 8.

The interview by the manager was in the morning and it just so happened that they were having orientation that day (which lasted about 3 hours and got paid for) and I stayed for orientation after getting an offer which was 7.93, the minimum wage then. I wanted more since I had plenty of job experience, but because I didn't have retail experience they gave me the bare minimum. By that next Monday I was working for them.

- Why do you want to work for Marshalls? Answer Question
Negotiation was terrible, I wanted a little bit more money even with my previous job experience but because I didn't have retail experience I couldn't get anything higher than the minimum wage.

Mass hiring due to brand new store opening. Completed the application and met immediately with the store manager. I was offered the position on the spot. Everyone is temp-to-permanent at TJX, no matter the position. Orientation was a couple week later after references and background check was clear.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Marshalls (New York, NY) in August 2009.
I applied for a position at Marshalls, and on the application, I put "any". I was interviewed by the store manager. He asked questions like, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" "What can you bring to this company?" "Why are you interested in this company?" There was one interview and I got the job on the spot. I went into details mostly about school and I ended up keeping this job for a year.

I applied in-person. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Marshalls (Virginia (South Africa)) in June 2015.
I walked in & asked for an application, filled it out, & gave it back. I actually spoke to a manager but she wasn't the hiring manager & she asked me some details about my application & said the hiring manager would give me a call if she liked what she saw. I called about a week later & spoke to the hiring manager who said she wasn't reviewing applications yet & would call me at a future time if she did. She called me about 2 weeks later to set up an interview which went well. She called me to set up another interview with the store manager & the store manager offered me a position. I'm in college & she was really lenient as far as me coming back for breaks even though I wasn't sure if I'd be leaving at the time. I dressed professionally for both interviews (a dress, heels, etc.) The people working there were all really nice & helpful & welcoming.

Marshalls' starting pay is $9 an hour so I didn't feel the need to negotiate being that I'm young with no prior experience in retail.

I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Marshalls in September 2010.
Looking to re-enter the job market after raising my children, I applied to work at a favorite local retail store, Marshalls. I was quickly called in for an interview, and offered a minimum wage, part-time job. I was told there are never any full-time positions available, no benefits, and no opportunity for growth. I turned down the job. I'm very disappointed in my (former) favorite store's business strategy toward employees.

Reasons for Declining
Minimum wage with no opportunity or encouragement for growth? It's shameful that an American business would have this attitude toward employees.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Marshalls in September 2009.
After applying online and waiting a week, I called and checked on the status of the application. After doing so again every few days they finally called me in for a one to one interview. Not until I was hired did I realize why they took so long. The managers are either incompetent or hired incompetent employees so they had to pick up all their slack. This left little time to conduct human resources operations. The interview was pretty standard retail questions on problem solving and customer relations. I received a phone call a few days later.
