Good Hotel
July 26, 2016
Overall good experience. All Front desk staff are very good, Always ready to help.
The only disappointment is, as a spire member, they rejected my room upgrade request, even though rooms are available.
Otherwise everything is very good. Good location.
Most important the staff, which is very very good and responsive.
Comfortable but hot
July 25, 2016
It's a clean room, although there was a little drywall damage in the bathroom that is un appealing. The AC didn't work well so the nights were hot but the bed was comfortable. The kitchenette and the coffee maker were fine. It was fine for the price.

Romney's Missouri win lacked coattails
Mitt Romney may have won Missouri with relative easy, but his victory did not help many Republican candidates in other offices in the Show-Me State.
gregor: what a scathing indictment of the state of affairs in politics today.look America at your decline.neither of these candidates are of exceptional character, neither truly represent want i think is important. Hillary :the puppet master of evil Machiavellian tactics, backroom deals and (terrible) general pragmatism in the area of morals, Donald, self absorbed braggart, egotistical,and arrogant . What a choice..i would not be surprised if civil disobedience turns to civil war. we are a country divided by hate, resentment, if people don't subscribe to our way of thinking or opinion we no longer consider tolerance, acceptance for them, nor does it seem that this generation has learned the art of compromise.( so SAD), America is turning to secular humanism. They believe that man is basically good, but as we are finding out men are inherently evil. the Headlines are full of this, people killing people, people stealing from others,all manners of evil. Our officials are corrupt, and we accept them because "at least they are not that corrupt...as far as we know" or " better the devil you know then the one you don't".......... Now I Am A Christian, full of more faults and vices than most of my non christian brothers, i am no better, than them, the only difference is that i was born again when i believed in what Jesus Christ did for me, and his role as the Messiah. i know by saying this i will now be a target for others and i am willing to be so, i will be called a bigot, a person of intolerance,/ignorant, believer in fairy tales..etc etc... yet no one knows the works we have done, nor the people true Christians have helped. We will be lumped in with others who have called themselves this but do not follow the doctrine, those who murdered, and done shameful things, those who hate in the Name of their religion...... true Christians will resist the world, and follow the word of God. you will not see them condemning sinners for that is the Lords Domain, you will see us Pass righteous judgement on right and wrong, /moral and immoral. you Will see us Pray for our leaders and others.The Days of the true Christians are numbered now, we soon will be persecuted and chastised. It has to be this way.As the Christians Fall in America so will America in the World.

Later, she taught mathematics in each middle school and concluded her teaching career as the coordinator of mathematics for the elementary schools. She served on the first state board which designed the proficiency test in mathematics for all elementary students in Texas. Betty Tom married Howard Graham on Aug. 6, 1960, in the chapel of the First United Methodist Church in Pampa, and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. W. Adcock.

Common Ownership.
Common ownership is where different companies are all owned or controlled by the same company. For example Thomas Cook has travel agent shops or you can book online. They are also a tour operator which means they work with hotel companies to put together a package which they then sell in their own shops. They also have their own aircraft on which their customers fly from the UK to place around Europe (short haul). Thomas Cook are a private company who focus their business operations on the outbound tourist market. This is an example of vertical integration.
Vertical integration:
Travel businesses may be large enough to be able to take over other smaller businesses that offer other travel products and services. For instance, if an airline was taken over by a tour operator, this would be an example of vertical integration; the tour operator would be looking to benefit from lower costs in allocating customers their air travel services.
This would mean that the tour operator should be able to make more profit from its overall business. The same tour operator might also take over a travel agency in order to find a more profitable way of selling its travel products and services.
Other companies that have vertical integration are easy and Virgin
Another example of common ownership is Merlin entertainment which is an example of horizontal integration.This is where a company buys other similar companies that attract the same sort of target market. Merlin en entertainment has bought companies in the family entertainment business which makes them the second largest in this business after Disney
Unlike Thomas Cook and other companies such as Easy and Virgin, Merlin markets their companies with their own brand image so that the customer doesn't realise that they are all owned by one single company. They are able to offer annual passes so the customer can visit all the different attractions as many times as they like for a one off payment. This benefits the customer because they get better value for money as visiting the attractions will not cost as much.
Horizontal integration benefits the company as they are able to promote other attractions they own at each of the sites. If a family visit Chessington they will see adverts for Madame Tussauds and may decide to go there at a future time if they have a good experience at Chessington.
Horizontal integration:
|easyJet took over Go! in 2002.
Image: easyJet took over Go! in 2002 - an example of horizontal integration. Copyright: easyJet airline company limited
This is where a business offering one travel product takes over another that offers a very similar travel product or service. For example, when easyJet took over Go! in 2002, it was a case of one budget airline taking over another no-frills airline. Although the two companies became one, they could have retained their different brand names. In fact in this case, easyJet very quickly re-branded all of Go!'s planes with their own distinctive livery.

Would be cool to meet some friends on here.
That sounds interesting, I don't remember seeing it at the Raley's though. I did pick up some Nature's Gate Creme de Anise toothpaste and a bar of All-One Hemp Lavender Pure-Castile soap from Dr....
Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should use for toothpaste and/or shampoo?
Grok On!
Went from 208/119 to 115/80 in three months! Thanks Mark.
Oh, and heart rate also went from 105bpm to 70bpm!
I feel like Mark saved my life! :D
My weight has been *exactly* 176.6 for the past five days in a row. I mean it doesn't even vary by one-tenth of a lb! I think my scale must be broken. :/
Hi I am new to primal nutrition and I recently watched Mark's video on his two-minute salad. However, I became confused when he added snap-peas or sugar-peas to the salad because I thought those...

To date I have backed 89 KS Projects since Novemeber 2011.
So I have 16 projects that I backed over a year ago that I still don't have products for yet. Some are nearing completion, while others still have a way to go. Am I upset that some are taking longer than expected? A little. Do I care, as long as I gt my product in the end? No.
* All Months I give are the month the KS ended, not the expected release date. So some of those may appear to be longer than they actually are (take StSS for example: it's projected completion was August 2012, but it is one of the February 2012 ones since my spreadsheet only tallies when I backed them, not when hey're due to me).

Oh and I finally have this week's post up over at Mythopoeic Rambling if anyone is interested...
'lo All.
After an unscheduled hiatus last week, once more you can totally ignore the other weekly blog feature over at Mythopoeic Rambling in favour of taig's much more entertaining one. :)
Alrighty, I know taig's been nice enough to link theses for me in the past but I thought I'd throw this one down since it's the last in my Shield Wall series.
And if you click on the linky at the bottom that says Sunderday (in purple) then you can see all of my other posts to date.
Mike's work is truly amazing! I eagerly await Fridays as I am always keen to see what monstrous creation he has made out of the random pics we throw at him (and as one who has thrown more than my fair share his way I am super interested to see how his vision take my mundane thoughts for the pic and transforms them into the perfection I've come to expect from him. :D
But of course you're quite welcome to stay for the regular blog as well. Mairkurion's occasional insights are worth the wait. :)

Is there any word yet on the possibility that this might arrive in enough time to ship before the projected 21st of December date (ie. seperately to my Subscription shipment). It is my Birthday/Christmas present from my parents and since they are already annoyed that they won't have anything physical to give me on my actual Birthday (12th Dec) they are gonna be royally pi$$ed that they now don't have anything to physically give me on Christmas Day as well (and with the regular 2 week wait plus Christmas Delays it's now looking like I'm not going to get this until mid to late January).
I must say that asking for that kind of outlay literally a few days before Christmas, especially since the Shattered Star Minis are due out the next month is a massive ask. November was pushing it (it really should have been comissioned a few months earlier so that it hit us midway between the massive dollars of the Rise of the Runelords minis and Christmas) but December is going to be a killer for most people.
My other worry with this estimated ship date is the closeness to Christmas. My orders have gradually been pushed back over the past 6 months so that I often have my stuff shipping on or after the projected "should ship by" date. As an example, November's shipment only just shipped yesterday for me, well into the week after it was projected to have shipped by. All over Facebook I see mesages of Subscribers in the USA already reading their physical copies while I still have yet to get my shipping notification (literally getting it sometimes up to a week after reading those messages). Considering that it takes at least 2 weeks for Subscription shipments to arrive here (I have known non-Subscription orders to take less, but they are few and far between and I've never known a Sub to take less than 2 weeks other than once in the whole time I've been a Subscriber) and the fact that my order might not even leave the warehouse before Christmas the way my orders have been going lately, I honestly have no idea when I might get that shipment (other than my very hopeful estimation of mid to late January). I have previously asked if it is possible for International shipments to be processed first so that everyone will be getting their copies around the same time but it seems that notion has fallen on deaf ears (or my continued asking has been the cause for my gradual bump to further down the line). I have had some issues with the pre-authorisations screwing with the account balance on my Debit Card and slowing the payment down until I can put more funds into the account, but these problems are not my problems (if it was the fact of me not having enough in the account then I can understand that, as I have done in the past) and shouldn't be affecting when my order ships because of something that is out of my control.
You can call me a whinger all you want, but it is really annoying to see so many people already reading their copies when I have to make do with the .pdfs for 2-3 weeks. It is really starting to take the shine off that monthly package arriving when I've already read what I wanted to and moved on, many times not even opening the books when they arrive and simply shelving them.
Just my 2cp, take it however you want... constructive criticism or cry baby whining. :/

Of course I see what you did there. But since your game is going to be a Sandbox MMO I only highlighted the part that was relevant to your game. OK, so maybe I will be able to go and do a Quest somewhere with my friends or solo. But as BlackUhuru said, "sure you might get killed by a player for one reason or another just like you will be killed by a Abyssal Paragon or Gold Dragon". Of course there's the chance that I'll get killed going to battle that Abyssal Paragon or that Gold Dragon, but that's my choice to go on that Quest fully knowing the danger. It's not however my choice to be attacked by another group for simply wandering through their territory, or because their Assassin's Guild needs to make their quota. That is not my idea of fun.I'm not saying don't include PvP as I know that people out there like it. What I am saying is that PvP needs to be kept to areas where it won't affect the gameplay of those of us who don't enjoy it. Have safe areas, let me simply skip to a Quest from the safe areas without the need to wander through some other group's territory, have in game warnings so I know when I've entered a PvP zone so I can backtrack. From your earlier comments it seems clear that every area (save the training area, which you said is only going to be available for a limited time, and Quests/Missions) is going to be available for PvP. Why do I want to be strolling down the street to go to the tavern and get a knife in my back and bleed out in the street while others simply walk past, hands on their swords praying that doesn't happen to them? I don't want to have to join a larger group to get the full benefit of the game, I want to be able to sit down with a couple of my buds from overseas and play a game, since I can't do that IRL, and still be able to get somewhere in the game.
PvP might be fun for some, but isn't fun for all. There needs to be more of a balance than what I'm seeing described.

'Godspell' to be staged at WCU
Published: Sunday, November 13, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 13, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
CULLOWHEE -- One of the biggest off-Broadway and Broadway successes of all time comes to Western Carolina University when the hit musical Godspell takes the stage in Hoey Auditorium beginning Wednesday.
The production, to run through Sunday, Nov. 20, is a collaboration between the University Players and the Black Theatre Ensemble, with Brad Martin, assistant professor of music, as musical director.
Written by Stephen Schwartz, Godspell is based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew. In this modern-day version, John the Baptist calls a disparate group of young city dwellers from their workaday lives to follow and learn from Jesus. The nontraditional plot utilizes pantomime, charades, acrobatics and song to enact the parables.
The show features a lively, seminal score by Schwartz that boasts a string of recognizable songs, led by the international hit Day By Day.
Godspell will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $12.50 for seniors. For ticket information, call 227-2479.

Very Easy Way To Get To 1 Million Points
Ok, I really don't understand why everyone is saying do the last missions for extra points. It is all about the multipliers, i.e. blow the fuck out of as many vehicles as possible. I completed the game on hard and finished on about 775,000 points. I found re-doing the car missions was netting me about 30k for each one. This involved getting the car back to the garage as quick as possible and then going round blowing up fuel tanks. That was good but then I thought about the first few missions and how much time you had left to get to the save zone once you had done the initial objective.
Over 800K in one mission
This is what I did. Go to the "Lost in Transit" mission which I believe is the first mission that you start on after your out of jail. If you cannot remember where that it is, it is in the bottom right hand corner of the map in Oyster Bay near the docks (see map below). Start it up and do the initial objective as quick as possible, trying to get head shots if you can. Now drive back to near the save zone but drive past until your in an area with plenty of cars which should be no more then a block or two away. Now make your way down the street with the shotgun blowing up fuel tanks, but making sure you never directly aim at a person or especially a police officer or police car in case you shoot them by accident. This will ensure your wanted level never goes above 2 stars which means the police will not shoot at you and just continue to follow you down the street. You need to ensure you string these explosions together so knowing where the fuels tanks are on certain vehicles is a must. Also if your half way up a street and there are no more cars left either turn back on yourself or leave the last car until you are well past it which will mean your multiplier bar will last that bit longer (see diagram below). I got up to 85+ multiplier before I saved and I still had quarter of the clock left. My final score was 882,150 for a single mission and put me into second highest score for that mission. Check my score of the Leaderboard if you like.
Note: Make sure you are fully loaded on as many weapons as possible. Go to gun shop and/or Harry's Army and Navy first if you don't have much ammo.
Where to do it....
Little diagram below should help.
Wow nice work man. I have tried this many times and can't even seem close to get to that. I only need about 225K to get to 1Million. Thought this would be an easy way. I keep running out of multipliers. Seems as if there aren't enough cars around. I'm using the street that runs directly up and down by the safe zone and under the underpass where there tends to be more cars. Did you use a different street? Since you have done it, how many multipliers would I need to be real close to the 225k? Thanks for the help.
Thanks man. I got it this evening. Your roads that you were using were a lot better than mine. Still didn't get up to 85 plus multiplier but I got enough. Thanks again.
Do you have to get all 1 millions points as once, or do they all add up????
if this really does work like you say it does maybe ill try that tonight. then just run through the rest of the shit.
Cheers :drunk
Quick question. you do this on easy or hard or medium?
Cheers :drunk
Hard is better for get more point!!! i am 500 000 and like 50% of the game
Thank you mate, this was definately the easiest way to get the points. Thanks! Now I still gotta do the 1000 miles...
Best guide ever. Beat using the glitch trick and in this one, it only took me less than half an hour to do since my current points were 800K and playing it on easy.
You really got to make sure your planning your route as you go, i.e. look for the route which has the most cars along it and always leave the multiplier to tick down some before you go for the next car (see diagram below). This gives it more time for cars to respawn down the streets and around corners. I have done it twice just running round one block with fresh vehicles spawning every time.
Someone asked for a diagram as they didn't fully understand my guide so I am posting it here as well as it may help some others.
I tried and only got 110,000. I need to work on it.
I just wanted to reply to this to say that this was by far the best help I've had on an acheivement from an online forum.
I played thru on Hard using this method, never replaying any of the missions or even trying to get high scores. No trying for headshots or anything either, just trying to get kills on the multiplier when possible. I stopped near the halfway mark on time on each mission, which was normally about the time I would accidentally shoot at a cop and have to run to the end to save the score.
I ended up at the top 20 on a few missions (10 on one mission), and am around top 20 in the world on score, and I havent even finished the final Big Boss mission. The Millionaire achievement unlocked around 60% of the way thru the game with this method for me, right on the money.
Considering I have a dozen missions I could add 100k per mission on, this achievement is ridiculously easy to obtain using this method. The only trick is learning where the gas tanks are, and knowing how to lure the cops near cars to kill them to get them off your back.
But either way, this acheivement shouldnt be hard anyways. I had 450k on Easy with just speeding thru the game, trying to get it finished to get the finishing achievement.
Got a few messages from people over the last year asking about my method saying a mate told them about it, etc but couldn't find the Thread so just putting a message on here so it goes back on the first page of the forum.
Updated first post so it's all in one.
Just wanted to say thanks for the little mini guide. It worked like a charm.

The remains of a man taken by a crocodile in front of his
family in the Northern Territory's Kakadu National Park have
been recovered.
Two crocodiles were shot and killed by rangers who were
searching for the 62-year-old today.
One of the crocs, which was 4.7 metres long, contained the
remains of the man, a police spokesman told reporters.
The man was on a boat with his son, wife and daughter-in-law
when he was attacked on a billabong near Cooinda, on Saturday
"During daylight hours today Kakadu rangers using their
expertise of crocodile management behaviour managed to locate
two large saltwater crocodiles in the billabong," Sergeant
Andrew Hocking said.
"Two of the crocs were shot and killed.
"One of those crocs was later examined and a quantity of
human remains was recovered."
Sgt Hocking said the remains were yet to be formally
identified. The reptiles were found about 1.5 kilometres from
where the man was taken.
There's no indication the man was swimming when the incident
happened, although investigations are continuing, Sgt Hocking
He also said reports the man and his family were in a closed
area of the park were incorrect, as the area had recently
been opened to the public.
Crocodile expert Graeme Webb said it was unusual for a croc
to attack at this time of year, as the reptiles usually laid
low during the cooler months.
"They tend to move around a lot more when it warms up... and
that's when they're more dangerous," he told AAP.
"But crocs will still take prey during the cooler months.
"I don't know what has happened in this case but it just
sounds horrific. It's just awful, you just can't begin to
understand how [the man's family] must feel."
Mr Webb, chair of the International Union for Conservation of
Nature's Crocodile Specialist Group, said there have been a
number of reports in the past of reptiles approaching and
going aboard boats.
Police haven't released the dead man's name.

A small town located in Arizona where 90% of the people are old but the other 10% are spoiled brats. It's okay, though, because they're funny brats with sweet hair. In this magical city, you can get high without the drugs. It has many good features such as rude, unhygenic Subway workers and crazy men who stand outside with turtle whistles. Also, there is a closed down bowling alley, a Be(a)lls, and a wall that continuously gets vandalized with "SMOKE WEEK EVERY DAY."
why the fuck doesn't fountain hills have a movie theatre??

Trending Now
A small town where the Subway workers are actually quite kind and friendly. Although, every so often they may be seen fisting each other, it does not matter, as the feast from Subway is glorious and superior to all others. Besides that, the town is about 89% population over 65 and 11% awesome. The bowling alley has opened up recently. As a "night on the town" includes bowling a few lanes at the local alley, it plays a monopoly among the recreational business industry in fountain hills. There is a magnificent apparel store, Bealls which has the newest trends straight from closeout. This town has been graced with the presence of "Just Bead It", a beading store which is hopping on any weekday from 9 am to 5 pm. The prices are low and the fun is limitless at this store where beads are not just a product, but truely a way of life.
You stay classy, Fountain Hills

I've submitted my question over at Studiopress but wanted to submit it here too:
I was wondering how you can hide Tags from a custom post but still use them (just invisible). For example, I'm using the AgentPress theme and tags are setup as "Features." When you add the Features (tags) they appear on a Listing page inside the Property Details div. I need to retain this functionality for Search but I do not want them visible anywhere on the site. Make sense?
I was able to hide them using CSS:
.entry-content a, .entry-content a:visited {
display: none;
However, the comma's still appear. I've found the code in the AgentPress Listing plugin here:
case "listing_features":
echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'features', ", ', ', " );
Not sure what the preferred method is for this but would love for these to not appear at all on the page yet still be attached to the post.

I have a Windows 8.1 Pro machine (not preview). In order to do Windows Phone 8 development, the emulators have to use the Hyper-V engine to run. When Hyper-V was installed it changed my network adapter settings for my ethernet card to utilizing the Hyper-V virtual switch, and disabled all the other items, such as IPv4, etc. It appears I can no longer set a static ip address on my box for my LAN, or at least it is not evident how to do it.
Articles that I have read suggest that I need two network adapters, but they seem to be geared towards a different type of infrastructure, which is different than what I am doing. I do not wish to purchase another network adapter. I simply want a static IP address on my box as my router is configured to route certain types of traffic to my box, and utilize Hyper-V just to run the Windows Phone emulators, but the emulators still have to access the internet.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is being pursued by the Waratahs, All Blacks and Roosters
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- March 10, 2012
THE New Zealand Rugby Union is set to join the fight between the Roosters and the Waratahs for hardman Jared Waerea-Hargreaves.
Off contract at the end of the year, Waerea-Hargreaves is being pursued by the Waratahs to make a return to rugby - the code he played until switching to the NRL four years ago with Manly.
The Waratahs let Waerea-Hargreaves slip through their fingers in 2007 but they've recently made a move to lure the Kiwi back for 2013, most likely as a potential replacement for No.8 Wycliff Palu, who is contemplating the big money on offer in Japan.
But NSW are not alone.

Android: Download our special edition NRL Magazine
The Daily Telegraph understands the New Zealand Rugby Union is also keen to talk with Waerea-Hargreaves, having already had a serious crack at him in 2009. Though the 23-year-old played for Australia at the Under-19s World Cup in 2007, the Rotorua-raised forward remains eligible to play for the All Blacks.
It's NSW's second attempt to get Waerea-Hargreaves back after pursuing him in 2009, as well. But the 110kg forward elected to stay in league and moved from Manly to the Roosters instead.
With All Black Sonny Bill Williams strongly rumoured to be returning to the NRL at Bondi next year, salary cap pressures at the Roosters could see the door opened for Waerea-Hargreaves to finally move back the other way.
Money looms as a sticking point in rugby as well, however.The Australian Rugby Union would need to top-up the Waratahs' offer but they have tightened their belt in recent years. Many top earners - and all league converts - are only offered incentive contracts, where they have to back themselves to play Tests to earn big bucks via match payments.
The NZRU generally has less money than the ARU but third-party sponsorship options could be more plentiful across the ditch.
Waerea-Hargreaves would have no trouble returning to rugby, judging from the talent he showed prior to defecting to league. A rising teenage star in rugby in 2007, he played flanker for the Australian Under 19s and starred for Norths and the Central Coast Rays in the ARC.
When the Waratahs only offered a two-year, part-time academy contract, however, he made the switch to league. He made his NRL debut a year later and after only six games won the first of his 10 Test caps for the Kiwis.
He grew up in New Zealand but emigrated to Australia in 2003 on a golf scholarship.
