I think I may have stumbled upon a way to increase voter turnout in Memphis.I would say nationally, but we all know what works in Memphis does not always work elsewhere and what works elsewhere does not always work in Memphis.It came to me as I was at Overton Park ever so briefly Saturday. It's part of my weekend run whenever the weather is spring-like or actually spring to see what will happen in the nearly three-year Greensward controversy.Lots of people having fun and a few kite-flyers coexisting on the greensward with zoo overflow parking but no protest with brass band.As I filed that away I wondered what happened to that park institution -- the drum circle.Audubon Park had one too along with the Society for Creative Ananchronism – the folks who dress up like Game of Thrones only they were doing it before the television show.Anyway, I started hearing the drums in my head as I imagined drum circles outside the early voting places because that's how my mind works in a career spent covering politicians since before I was old enough to vote.Of course the drums would be outside the 100-foot limits for physical campaigning that state law requires.But imagine you are in the area of let's say Agricenter, maybe in Shelby Farms Park, and in the distance you hear drums. Wouldn't you be curious? If you had the time would you try to find the source? And if you discovered it was outside an early voting place and you were of voting age and registered and if you had not already voted (for you may vote early but not often) would you not vote, once your curiosity had been satisfied?I thought your answer to all of the above would be a resounding yes.

As businesses, industry, and manufacturers vie for a piece of the ever-shrinking pie, they turn toward sustainability during procurement. Companies are looking hard at their supply bases to ensure suppliers reflect their values. They ask: "From whom are we buying, and why does it matter?" "What are we buying, and why does that matter?" Companies want to know how and where suppliers present risks – environmentally, socially, economically. This new focus on supply quality helps companies focus on choosing suppliers who can be relied upon to improve the supply base's overall performance.

A bipartisan compromise by Congress will likely save the average Long Island family upward of $1,300, Rep. Tim Bishop, D-Southampton, said Friday.
The deal, which would extend the 2 percent payroll tax cut and emergency unemployment insurance benefits until the end of 2012, would mean the average family in Suffolk would keep an additional $1,329 of their tax dollars, while the average Nassau family would retain an additional $1,446.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3″ title="Related stories"]
But where would that money come from?
That's a valid question considering the nation's dire fiscal condition.
Bishop said that while he would prefer to see a surtax placed on those individuals with incomes over $1 million per year, it is looking increasingly likely the cost of the tax cut will instead be added to the nation's debt.

This invention relates to a device for covering a stoma, produced as a result of a surgical tracheostomy procedure. Particularly, this invention relates to a device for filtering and conditioning the air inhaled through this stoma.
The surgical performance of tracheostomies has become increasingly necessary due to various diseases and related breathing difficulties. As a result of this procedure, a patient receives a stoma at the anterior lower neck through which subsequent respiration takes place. However, the by-passed nose and mouth functions for breathing purposes has caused much discomfort and medical problems to these patients. Particularly, the losses of inhaled air filtering, moisture transfer and heat transfer functions continually plague these patients, and often increase their susceptibility to infections. The character or variety of sputum which is often expelled through the stoma by many patients indicates this infectious activity.
The tracheostomy stoma covering device of this invention provides a wearer with air filtering means for the air inhaled through the stoma, and with air conditioning means, from a moisture and heat standpoint, of this filtered air. Additionally, the device of this invention permits the user to filter and condition the inhaled air in accordance with prevailing environmental conditions.
Several types of filter devices for tracheal use have been utilized or proposed in the past. However, these devices have been complex in design, limited in use and effectiveness, or have been difficult for a user to wear. For example, some devices are designed to fit directly into the stoma. However, during a tracheostomy procedure it is often found that varying stoma diameters are necessary, and, therefore, making specifically diameter sized stoma devices difficult to properly fit.
Still other devices are designed particularly for sputum discharges, are bulky in design, and cumbersome for wearers. And, other devices, although designed for air filtering purposes, do not permit a user to condition the inhaled air for moisture and temperature purposes. With respect to the latter devices, they are often of the knitted, cloth-pad type which are tied about a user's neck. These respiratory pads are commonly distributed through the Lost Chord Club, an organization of individuals having had lyryngectomies, surgical procedures involving tracheostomies.
Tracheostomy stoma covering devices according to this invention overcome the problems, difficulties and shortcomings of those prior art devices discussed above. The tracheostomy stoma covering devices according to the invention are useful to provide a user, having had a tracheostomy, with a device which is comfortable to wear, easy to clean, inexpensive to manufacture, and versatile in use. The devices of this invention provide a wearer with an adjustable device which securely covers the stoma, and which is able to accomodate a range of neck sizes. And, despite the long-standing need for an effective, versatile, and comfortably worn stoma covering device for a user having had a tracheostomy, none in so far as is known has been developed. An effective, inexpensive, comfortable to wear, easy to clean and maintain, tracheostomy stoma covering device, and one which is versatile to accomodate verying environmental conditions, in terms of air filtering ability and moisture and temperature conditioning requirements, is provided by the teachings of this invention. And, with respect to the latter, this device permits a user to breathe comfortably, without dryness of the mucous membranes, and to prevent or control coughing spasms and the susceptibility to infectious diseases.
In summary, this invention provides an air filtering and conditioning device for covering a stoma of a wearer having had a tracheostomy. The device includes a washable encasement member having generally flexible mesh front and back panels. Additionally, the encasement member has access means into the interior thereof. Extending from the top, side portions of the encasement member are washable strap means, having adjustable fastener means at their respective ends, for securing the device about a user's neck.
A replacable air filter means for coextensive placement with the flexible mesh portions of the front and back panels of the encasement member is provided to filter the incoming air inhaled through the stoma. And, this air filtering means is replacable, as necessary, through the access means of the encasement member.
In use, the tracheostomy stoma covering device is placed with the back panel of the encasement member covering the stoma of a user. The device is secured in this position by adjusting and communicating the mating fastener means of the strap means about the user's neck.
Also provided by the invention is an encasement member having border portions about its periphery. Within the upper and opposing side portions of the border are secured, formable or malleable strips which when formed permit the user to contour the encasement member to the configuration of the neck. And, this provides an effective seal to contaminants entering the stoma, and ensures that all the incoming air is properly filtered and conditioned.
Additionally provided by the invention is a moisture absorbing and releasing member for placement within the encasement member between the back panel mesh and the air filtering means. This member, which is a cellular foam member of synthetic construction, permits the utilization of cellulose or paper air filters which are inexpensive, and, thus, daily changable, by protecting the paper filter from sputum and the moisture laden air expelled from the wearer's lungs. Additionally, this foam member serves as a moisture absorbing and transfer source to the subsequently inhaled air to the lungs of the wearer.
When environmental conditions dictate, a heat absorbing and releasing element is also placeable within the encasement member of the device through the access means. This air conditioning element permits further absorption of heat from the air expelled through the stoma, and, subsequently, permits the transfer of the absorbed heat to the inhaled air. This pre-warming of the incoming air function greatly increases the comfort of the device wearer when outside temperatures are low. The access means of the encasement member permits the removal, exchange, and/or addition of such air conditioning elements, for moisture and heat transfer purposes, to particularly suit the environmental conditions that exist. Thus, in Summer, the need for only a moisture exchange element and an air filter element may exist, while in Winter, a relatively thick element for moisture and heat transfer purposes may be required in addition to the air filter means.
And, provided by the invention are strap means which extend generally diagonally upward from the encasement member to ensure proper stoma coverage of the device. And, elastic portions are provided which extend from the opposing top portions of the encasement member to intersect and connect with the strap means. These elastic portions permit the device to be comfortably worn about the user's neck, and permits the user to freely rotate the neck without fear of shifting the encasement member relative to the stoma.
And, finally provided by this invention are encasement member access means which consist of Velcro fastener elements, which are washable and which permit the easy exchange, addition or removal of the various air filter and air conditioning elements placed therein. And, one embodiment of the device provides a totally seperable encasement member which permits a plurality of colored front panel members to be utilized with the remaining device elements, so that a user is able to match a front panel member with other clothing to make the device relatively inconspicuous when worn.
These and other benefits of this invention will become clear from the following description by reference to the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a frontal view of a person with a stoma as a result of a tracheostomy;
FIG. 2 is a lateral view of a tracheostomy stoma covering device of this invention secured about the neck of a user;
FIG. 3 is a schematic, perspective view of a tracheostomy stoma covering device of this invention, and which illustrates the various and respective air filtering and air conditioning elements of one embodiment of the device; and,
FIG. 4 is a schematic, perspective view of another embodiment of the tracheostomy stoma covering device of this invention, and which shows a cut-away view of a border portion of the front panel of the encasement member to illustrate the malleable strip means located therein.
Referring to FIG. 1, a person 10 is there shown having a stoma or opening 11 at the anterior, lower neck. The stoma 11 is the result of a surgical tracheostomy procedure, which is part of a lyryngectomy, for example. The result of this surgical procedure is that the person 10 has a permanent connection of the trachea or windpipe to the outside, and it is through this opening 11 that respiration takes place. Because person 10 no longer has the use of the nose or mouth for breathing purposes, the lack of air filtering, and air conditioning purposes, from a moisture and heat transfer standpoint, discomfort, coughing and increased likelihood of infection susceptibility often results. Thus, covering and filtering devices are utilized.
FIG. 2 illustrates a tracheostomy stoma covering device 12 located about a wearer's neck to cover the stoma. The device 12 is shown as a flexible device which is secured about the neck by strap means 14, which utilizes an elastic portion 13 for user comfort. As shown, the strap 14 extends generally diagonally upward from the device body, and this strap configuration is to ensure the upward position of the device body to properly cover the stoma.
FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of device 12, and, particularly, it shows the various portions or elements which make up or which can be utilized with the device. The device shown is of a rectangular configuration, however, this particular configuration is not required (i.e., rounded corners or a rounded configuration is also usable so long as the stoma is properly covered). A front panel 20 and a rear panel 21 when secured or fastened together provide the encasement member of the invention. The well known Velcro fastener system is shown utilized on this embodiment of the invention. For example, 27 indicates the top interior fastener strip on the interior of front panel 20, while 37 and 38 (FIG. 4) illustrates the mating portions of the Velcro system located on the back panel 21. The Velcro fastener parts are secured to the interior of front panel 20 borders 22, 23, 24 and 25, while their respective mating parts are secured to the facing interior of back panel 21 borders 31, 32, 33 and 34. And, once secured, the Velcro fastener system provides the access means to the interior of the encasement member. Optionally, other access means are also possible, for example, the use of zippers, snaps, or the like.
The border portions or segments, i.e., 22, 23. etc., are preferrably constructed of a washable material or folded bias tape made of cotton, synthetic materials, such as polyester, combinations of both, or the like. And, the fastening means for the construction of the panels can be stitching 26, as shown in FIG. 3, or water resistent adhesive materials.
Additionally shown are mesh or flexible screen portions or sheet-like materials 19 and 35, respectively, within the borders of front panel 20 and rear panel 21. Although in the drawings this mesh is not shown to extend from border to border, for graphic purposes, the mesh or screen portions should in fact do so, as illustrated in FIG. 2. These mesh or screen portions provide for the filtering of large particles, and, particularly, provide for the passage of air therethrough to the other elements held thereby within the encasement member.
The front panel 20, shown in FIG. 3, is totally separable from the rear or back panel member 21. This embodiment permits a wearer to have a plurality of front panel members 20, all in different colors (i.e., borders and mesh in green, yellow, white, etc.) for use with one rear panel member 21 to form the encasement member. This embodiment permits the user to select a front panel color to match the clothing worn so that the device becomes inconspicuous from a color standpoint. Additionally, other elements used in the encasement member, i.e., foam member 28, can also be in a variety of colors for this reason.
Additionally shown in FIG. 3 are elements provided for use within the encasement member. They include a washable, foam, heat absorbing and releasing element 28, an air filter means 29, and a moisture retention and transfer means or element 30. These elements are all flexible in nature for comfort of the wearer. And, preferably, elements 28 and 30 are washable in character. The air filtering means 29, such as filter paper, is preferably disposable on a daily basis, for example. Thus, the entire covering device is easily maintained from a hygienic standpoint.
Extending from the rear panel 21 are straps 14 and 16. As shown, the individual straps extend generally diagonally from the respective side borders 33 and 34. This diagonal arrangement permits the user to fasten the device about the neck by means of mating fastener elements 17 and 18 located at their respective ends. The fasteners shown are of the Velcro fastener type, and the use of one mating portion being relatively longer than the other, permits the strap means to fit about a wide range of neck sizes. The element 18, as shown, is longer than its corresponding mate 17. Additionally provided, are elastic elements 13 and 15 which extend outwardly from the top border 31, and which attach to the respective straps 14 and 16. The elastic segments permit a comfortable and secure fit of the device about the user's neck, and permit the device wearer to freely rotate and bend the neck without impairing the position of the encasement member relative to the stoma.
FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the tracheostomy stoma covering device. As referred to above, the united front and back panels comprise the encasement member. To that end, it is not absolutely necessary for the front and back panels to be separable and distinct portions. It is only necessary that for purposes of the invention for the encasement member to have access thereinto. And, this can be effectuated by providing an otherwise sewn together front and back panel with Velcro fasteners at at least a portion of one of its borders. It is only necessary for a user to have access into the encasement member to exchange filter means, conditioning elements, or to add to or subtract from these the totality of these elements. Thus, FIG. 4 shows two of the encasement member borders 33 of the rear panel and 24 of the front panel being attached. However, other borders could also be attached.
Additionally shown by the cut-away view of FIG. 4 are the formable or malleable elements 40 and 41, which are shown located at the interior of top and side borders. Stitching 39 is provided to prevent the side element 41 from sliding downward. These metal strips, or stayes, made of aluminum, for example, permit a user to fit or mold the encasement member to the particular contour of the neck. This provides a seal to ensure that all the air inhaled through the stoma is properly filtered and conditioned. Also, the malleable strips provide for a stiffener element function to the encasement member borders to prevent that member from being drawn into the stoma during inhalation, and, thus, providing a hazard to the wearer.
It should be pointed out, that the malleable strips could as well be secured into the border portions of the back panel member 21. And, this arrangement would be preferable in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, particularly when the rear panel member is used in conjunction with a plurality of various colored front panel members.
As discussed above, the air conditioning element 28 is primarily for the purpose of providing a heat transfer function. And, that the element 30 is primarily for the purpose of providing a moisture transfer function. However, these elements can be combined for functionality, depending upon the nature of the element construction and upon the existing environmental conditions. It has been found that plastic foam materials are well suited for the moisture and heat transfer functions. And, by selecting foam elements, made of varying plastic foam substances, having varying densities, and varying thicknesses, the amount of heat and moisture transfer can be easily controlled by the user. Thus, depending upon time of year, the particular location of the user, indoor or outdoor, by noting the temperature and humidity, the user can easily remove, exchange, or add through the access means of the encasement member, the proper element 28 or 30, or combination thereof.
The moisture transfer element 30 is generally a large cell, or low cell density synthetic foam material which readily permits the passage of air, while retaining moisture for subsequent transfer and for protecting the moisture sensitive filter paper 29. However, this element 30 would not be necessary should the filter paper have a moisture resistent exterior coating to ensure its integrity. However, the element 30, large cell structure, also exhibits heat transfer ability, which during Summer would be sufficient. During Winter, however, a small cell, high cell density element 28 would be necessary for purposes of preventing user discomfort.
It is important to note, that although three elements are shown in the drawings, namely, 28, 29 and 30, elements 28 and 30 are of like material and perform similar functions. In fact, the same foam sheet could be utilized to perform both functions (i.e., one sheet folded in half about one sheet of filter paper; this configuration would also serve to secure the paper). However, they are not necessary for placement in the encasement member under certain conditions. And, their respective placements, are also variable therein depending upon the nature of the air filter means. Although the synthetic foam materials are generally not strong from a tensile strength standpoint, it would be possible, should such be developed, to utilize this material in place of the flexible mesh portions of the front and back panel members. In the latter configuration, the material placed in the front panel could also be suitably colored to match the clothing of the wearer.
It has been found that a device having an encasement member dimension of 41/2 inch width, a 61/2 inch length, and having a mesh of nylon or other washable fabric with about 16 mesh/inch is well suited for use. In conjunction therewith, straps of approximate 8 inch length each, have been found well suited for a wide range of neck dimensions. However, the configuration of the encasement member and the dimensions described in connection therewith are merely illustrative of the teachings of this invention.
As many changes are possible to the embodiments of this invention, utilizing the teachings of the invention, the description above, and the accompanying drawings, should be viewed in the illustrative, and not in the limited sense.

Creating a Photo Gallery in WordPress with jQuery
WordPress has an excellent media library and the ability to create galleries for almost any page, but the look and feel are somewhat limited. You, however, can take control of the user experience with jQuery, and give your admins the ability to control the gallery with features they already know and love. Chris Converse teaches you how in this short course. Learn to register custom JavaScript, modify the layout with CSS, and then incorporate a lightbox effect. Plus, Chris will show you how to make the most of your hard work by moving the gallery markup between different WordPress themes, so you can use your customization in any layout.

- [Voiceover] Hi I'm Chris Converse and in this course I'm going to show you how to create, customize and manage a photo gallery inside of Wordpress. Now Wordpress has an excellent media library, and the ability to create galleries for any page or post. It even has some editing capabilities, however the built-in gallery experience for your users might be a little limiting. I'm going to show you how you can take control of the user experience from a Wordpress gallery with Jquery. In this course we're going to register our own custom Javascripts, were gonna create CSS for layout, incorporate a light box, and if you're feeling adventureous there's an optional chapter where I'll show you how to customize the HTML that's generated by Wordpress using a custom PHP function inside of our theme.
And when you're done creating your custom experience for your gallery, I'm gonna show you how to move the gallery between Wordpress themes. So if this sounds interesting, grab some photos, log into Wordpress and let's get started.

Sights to See in Savannah Georgia
Nothing epitomizes Southern grace and charm quite like Savannah, GA. Last week I shared our vacation rental and great places to eat in Savannah. Today I'm sharing some of the THINGS TO DO AND SIGHTS TO SEE IN SAVANNAH.
The historic district has 22 squares, countless beautiful, grand homes, the most beautiful street in America – Jones St., Broughton Street for shopping, River Street for many pubs and shops, and just so, so much to see and take in! Walking around Savannah is sure to be one of the most beautiful walks you'll ever take. Many of the streets are lined with hundred-year-old oaks dripping with Spanish moss….it's breathing.
My daughters and I recently went non-stop in Savannah Georgia, for our annual girls trip. As one of the South's oldest cities, Savannah has no shortage of history. Be sure to bring your walking shoes and your cameras, because the city is sprawling with beautiful historic homes and beauty. While this fascinating city, with small-town charm, is completely walkable, we did rent a car so we could visit a few places just outside Savannah as well.

I got this set on sale and honestly for the price the product is awesome. I have been looking for a sofa and maybe a chair and all quality looking ones were about this price and over, plus with this you get the chair and ottoman. They are pretty comfortable, but you need some pillows for any long term lounging. Its looks really nice, the material is very soft and authentic looking, that is if it is actually vinyl. On Overstock it states its vinyl, but when it arrived and i was putting it together there is a formaldehyde warnings (used in treatment in leather) and also caring for leather tips in tag. Strange but either way it looks like leather and feels like leather so you and your guests probably won't know (if) its not. Putting it together I did it by myself, I'm very good at putting things together, but you don't need to be with this. Once you've done one its all the same. Some tips cause they left out somethings in the directions. 1. Beneath back seating piece there is a cloth attached with velcro, pull it down to get to screw holes. 2. Attaching legs, make sure the inside is at a 90 degree angle, before you screw in. The picture shows screw holes all on one side not true, you will see when you are putting them on it will look weird, the legs won't match. Anyway if your on a budget, this is great, so far durability has rocked (see reviews for individual pieces for more info they also have over 4 stars) except its scary with a cat, little puncture holes from the claws will not go away so be wary. Anyway we love it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Its definitely brown.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Looks nice, decent quality.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Pretty good.
got the whole sett. I am very happy with my purchase. I use a damp cloth to dust off and I am ready to go.
I gave away my old "real" livingroom set that was in the basement, this is a perfect replacement. It looks so good on my Pergo oak floor. It fits so well in a space that has many doors/windows. Can't tell it's not black in the sunlight, from afar. Easy to put together. I did it myself, with some begging and pleading(it got kind of heavy). I recommend reading and heading the reviewers of the other Uptown single peices, they had good advice-they made it possible for a 100lb. girl to put the set together within 2 and ahalf days with plenty of breaks! I really like the room on the couch- can't even touch both sides lying down. Firm but forgiving, I'm sure it would last a good long time for me and my 6lb. dog. Don't know how it will fair under kids, cats, and grown men. But for me it's perfect. Don't see the problem of the under 2" overlap along the front, the cushions are so tight together, they aren't moving anywhere.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? definately brown as posted
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. really like the look and feel, it is not leather but is smooth and soft
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? as pictured and described by site and other reviewers
As price suggests, the collection is inexpensive and so it looks and feels as such. It is comfortable though, but not sturdy enough to be used a lot.
We have a small dog and child who have used this set each day for years and it's held up great! Comfy for sitting, but not for lounging/napping. Love this set in our family room, but went with a cloth sectional for the living/tv room.
I purchased this product for a School staff lounge. I put it together with easy, and the pieces are quite comfortable. The Leather type finish makes it user friendly to clean and the staff feel pampered.

Super 8 ReviewPosted Jul 28, 2016
Pros: Staff was friendly overall.
Cons: More pillows and bigger swimming pool.
Location: We had two restaurants very close it was nice.
I think the hotel was a good experience. I even met the house keeper who took care of our room and she was very nice. I highly recommend this it was a good stay. I just wish we had more pillows in our room.

Pigeon ForgePosted Jul 26, 2016
Pros: everything
Location: location was close all the activities along the parkway
Very nice motel enjoyed our stay here, my grandkids enjoyed the pool.
by A verified traveler from Cherry Valley, Il
On the river, plenty of nature, total comfort.Posted Jul 25, 2016
Pros: Very clean, the fan ran all night, and especially the river in the back with the natural elements so close to enjoy. The staff was very helpful.
Cons: Not much- it's a winner through and through.
Location: Oh my gosh. There is everything to do around here. Rafting, tubing, go karts, miniature golf, regular golf, dinner show, restauarants , shopping, etc.
This is, by far, the nicest Super 8 we've ever experienced. My wife fed the ducks from the balcony, watched the river, and relaxed. The bed was very comfortable, and I love it when the fan runs all night- helps me sleep. There is a sitting room with rocking chairs on the second level, above the breakfast bar area (neat feature). The pool is small but clean. Cleanliness was a major thumbs up. Great work guys.

"OK" place to stayPosted Jul 18, 2016
If your single and looking for a place to stay with little accommodation than this is the place for you. If you have a family, not such a good place. It's cheap, yes. But you definitely get what you pay for here. The bed was like sleeping on an air mattress. The staff was super nice. And the room was clean, just smelt a lite funny. But like I said, you definitely get what you pay for. This is a cheap hotel for sure.

Better than expected.Posted Jul 8, 2016
Clean, plenty of room, better than expected. Staff was helpful, we even accidentally left a bag and they called immediately to let me know before we got too far away. Little things like that matter.

Posted May 13, 2016
Room was clean, staff was friendly and continental breakfast was okay. The waffle maker was a plus, but the coffee wasn't that great. The view off the balcony was nice (golf course and creek view) but there were many spider webs and leaves on balcony. The room was clean, but dated. The beds were uncomfortable to sleep on and the bedding was old and cheap, but clean. There were openings under the outside doors that you could see daylight through. Our room had two rooms with a queen bed in each, but only one small TV in one of the rooms. Bathroom was small, but adequate. This hotel is a case of "you get what you pay for." It was a great deal, but definitely lacked any frills or real "comfort."
by A verified traveler from mc
Ok, just okPosted May 10, 2016
Breakfast could have been better. 1 waffel maker station, 1 toaster, apple and orange juice dispenser. A few oranges and apples and coffee. 1 tv in a 2 bdrm suite. We had 2 rooms. No fridge or microwave in my room. The other room had a fridge.

Terrible. Don't plan on staying here againPosted Apr 18, 2016 on Orbitz
Pros: Nothing
Cons: The whole hotel
Location: Inconvenient to all the attractions, on the wrong end of the town.
1st thing...,had to used toilet as soon as arriving, the commode stopped up! Had to call for plunger. Older commode, was down low on floor. Could tell it was an older one. Sink was cracked and stained, looked nasty. Mattress was so broken down that you actually felt like you were crawling out of a hole on each side of the bed. There was dust on top of all the furniture, very evident it had not been cleaned in a while, dust behind the end tables and in corners, the sliding glass door had not been cleaned in so long that someone previously had marked "wash me" in the dirt. Final insult was that I had to leave on my trip with a wet head.. the hairdryer did not work, my husband has severe COPD which the dust in room did not help him and he could wheeze and blow a harder breeze than the hairdryer did, This is the first review I have ever written on a hotel.... it was that bad. Will never, never stay here again, and would not recommend it either, should have been re-imbursed!!!!!
