- 7.1 Channels
- USB Interface
This review is from: SteelSeries Siberia 51004SS 7.1 Channels USB Interface Sound Card - Black
Excellent sound. Plug and play, no muss no fuss.
Purchased 7-25-10 stopped working 1-8-11
Also would have been nice if this thing plugged right into USB instead of having a 3 foot USB cable.
Other Thoughts:
A $35 dongle for use with laptops and the like should be more durable if it's going to be traveling. There is no external sign of damage so I assume it's just a bad solder connection has come lose

I thought your example had something to do with the "some people are just made for mac" that came right after it. So that's why I didn't get the whole copy-paste example.
That was my point. People who don't understand computers are better off with Macs. Not people who don't know how to copy-paste, just people who don't get stuff like that.
And if you have to pay a little extra for hardware that works seamlessly with a superior OS in most respects, then so be it.
You think that's what you're paying for? All the hardware in a Mac is made by the same companies, to the same standards. Sometimes special ordered to fit smaller cases or whatever, but I believe the all-in-one Macs use laptop parts (don't quote me on that). You're paying for nothing but the shiny case and OS. But hey, if an OS is worth a 50% or more markup to you, so be it.
As far as 8gb not being useful, I'm in the camp that believes that in 4-5 years it will be, and 4-5 years down the line, you can still be in your first OS X install running perfectly smooth. Not one maintenance measure in between. At least, that's the experience I had, so I'm sold on the OS.
In 4-5 years you might have all the RAM you need, but your processor will be lagging behind everything else. At the rate hardware improves, it's not worth getting an expensive laptop unless you need one. I made that mistake with mine, got one with a graphics card because I thought I'd play games. I barely did, and now I'm stuck with a machine that's hard if not impossible to upgrade. Oh well, I only spent $750 for it. Buying hardware for future investments is silly, IMO. Unless, of course, it doesn't cost you so much.
I've never needed maintenance on my PCs, beyond my own quick troubleshooting. Then again, I've known how to fix every problem I've run into with a little Googling. And every issue was with the hardware, not the software, problems which Macs struggle with as well. I think you're as lucky with your Mac as some are unlucky with their PCs.
I don't know how my family does it, but they manage to get a virus on their PC every month. I've never had one that stuck around for more than an hour of virus scan.

Thornburg Reports $3.3 Billion First Quarter Loss
Thornburg Mortgage here, reeling from mark-to-market and impairment charges, reported a $3.3 billion first-quarter loss.
But CEO Larry Goldstone said much of the loss reflects a number of "nonrecurring and accounting driven" fair market value adjustments which the company was forced to run through its income statement because of uncertainty about whether or not Thornburg can hold the affected mortgage securities to maturity.
Sorting out the accounting treatment of Thornburg's assets has been a messy business. The company twice delayed reporting its first-quarter results. And even last Thursday, when the company issued its earnings release, it still did not provide a balance sheet or formal income statement.
The loss, which came to $20.64 per common share, reflected weak housing market conditions and secondary market turmoil in the first quarter, CEO and president Larry Goldstone said.
As a result of margin calls from the company's creditors, Thornburg had to sell assets and seek alternative financing for assets that remained in portfolio, he noted.
"Even in this difficult overall market, we were able to raise new capital to provide further liquidity to meet our borrower obligations," he said.
But the company's new financing deal, reached in March, gives its creditors the opportunity to buy half of Thornburg at fire-sale prices, considerably diluting current shareholders. On the plus side, the deal gives Thornburg a one-year reprieve from new margin calls.
The company had received $1.8 billion of margin calls since Dec. 31, 2007, but was only able to satisfy $1.2 billion of the total by early March. The company was forced to sell assets and arrange alternative financing and sell assets at a loss to meet its additional margin calls and reduce its reverse repurchase agreement obligations. In a conference call with investors and analysts, Mr. Goldstone said that despite a modest increase in delinquencies during the first quarter, the credit quality of Thornburg's portfolio remains strong.
"We don't anticipate that our losses are going to get significantly out of hand," Mr. Goldstone said.
While Thornburg had to suspend mortgage origination activity in February and March to deal with its financing issues, the company has since reopened its pipeline and started funding loans again.
First-quarter origination volume totaled $548 million.
Mr. Goldstone noted that Thornburg still has $31 billion of mortgage-related assets on its balance sheet. He also said that interest rate conditions and the company's cost of funds are currently "very favorable."
Late last Thursday, Thornburg Mortgage's shareholders approved proposals to increase authorized stock and amend terms of the company's existing preferred stock. The amendments to the company's charter increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 500 million to four billion shares. The amendments that were approved also modify the terms of the company's existing series of preferred stock to, among other things, remove restrictive covenants that currently prohibit the company from buying preferred stock when all cumulative dividends on the preferred stock have not been paid in full. The changes also affect the dividend payment on preferred shares. The company still must obtain approval from the holders of the preferred stock to make the modifications.
"Winning shareholder approval of management's proposals marks a milestone achievement in our efforts to rebuild the company and resume more normal business operations," Mr. Goldstone said in a statement.

I have an i7 2630qm and a 6970m in my m17x r3, and I can't seem to find a way to use PowerXpress (which is basically the AMD version of Optimus). Does anyone know where to download something for it?
Hi Ferrari353,
Actually, the power saving technology supported by your graphics card is called "PowerPlay" and you can enable/disable it in the catalyst control center. Here's an article that will help you find that feature, the description is a little different so just scroll down to the AMD part, also, the version of the Catalyst control center might be a little different than the one you have, but It'll give you a basic idea of what you are looking for. Let me know how it goes.
Alienware-Natalia Dell | Alienware Technical Support #IWork4Dell Opening your case does not void your warranty! Check out Alienware Artificial Intelligence I can't always reply to PM's, if you need extra assistance visit:
If that article is correct, then that's not what I'm looking for. I have that option already to switch to my iGPU when unplugged from the charger and then switch back to dGPU when plugged in. What I want is for my GPU to switch based on how much it's needed. When I"m browsing the web, it should be on the iGPU, but when I start playing a GPU-intensive game, it should switch to my dGPU.
Also, the CCC in that article looks nothing like mine. It's 9 years old.
I also can't download drivers from AMD. I've tried to choose the driver for my GPU (the 6xxxM series) and I've tried the "auto-detect and install" and both say something along the lines of "You don't have the necessary hardware for this."
Hello Ferrari353,I did a little research and it seems that Alienware does not support the PowerXpress feature. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Let's look deeper into the San Francisco 49ers' interest in free-agent receivers Julian Edelman of New England and Hakeem Nicks of the New York Giants.Odds of landing them: There is competition. The Patriots want Edelman back and Cleveland has been connected to him as well. Nicks is visiting Indianapolis on Friday. Carolina is also interested. The 49ers don't have a ton of salary-cap room, so they have to get creative in a deal with either player.

Lewis Hamilton's Malaysian Grand Prix win last week was so dominant that he would be quite within his rights to be feeling the pressure already – or at least thinking positively about the rest of the season.
But such is the uncertainty surrounding the performance, reliability and capabilities of the cars, he is looking to Sunday's round in Bahrain – and beyond – with a completely open mind.
There was a time, he says, that you could predict the world champion straight after pre-season testing. But two races in – both won by Hamilton's team Mercedes – and with both Red Bull and Ferrari still finding their feet, the next race, let alone the drivers' championship, is anyone's guess.
"From one race to another somebody else wins and the expectation shifts, so it's irrelevant in that sense for me," Hamilton said of the pressure. "In the past, as soon as you'd test and you'd get to the first race and you knew you were one second down, you knew that it was going to be a real slog to win the World Championship.
"Then you'd get to the third race and the opposition are so far gone already, it would be such a long year after that. You don't give up, but it's a different feeling after that. The difference for me is that I find myself this season with a car knowing I can fight the other guys, and it's a great feeling."
According to Hamilton, two days in Dubai after last week's Malaysian Grand Prix were all it took for the euphoria of his first victory there to evaporate, and for reality to return. For the 2008 world champion a fast start to the season is a welcome return to form after last season's disappointments in his first year at Mercedes. However, he is taking nothing for granted and getting back down to the hard work.
"It wears off after a couple of days, and you go back to training," he admitted, as Bahrain prepares for its first night race. "You just want to be as hungry as you were previously."
Hamilton's old team-mate Jenson Button recently nominated him as his toughest partner, describing him as "superfast but very up and down emotionally".
"I would say what he said is quite accurate," Hamilton agreed. "I always wear my heart on my sleeve, and it gets me into trouble now and then, but you go through different experiences.
"I've always talked about trying to put the right pieces in place to get through my year in a positive way without having those spikes, and I feel like I might have found it. But you never know!" He broke off to laugh at himself. "Just being in Dubai for a couple of days was a huge low compared to the weekend and I'm there in the hotel, bored already and just wanting to get racing again!"
But though Mercedes are favourites here, Hamilton sees Red Bull and Ferrari coming up fast. He added: "Red Bull are very quick and also I can tell that Ferrari are good, they will both be a serious force to be reckoned with this year. Both have very good cars, Red Bull the more so."
Some suggest it is vital to garner points in these early races, but Hamilton disagreed. "I don't think it's more crucial now than it's going to be in the second half of the season, and the second half will be even harder," he said. "And those extra 18 points that Nico [team-mate Rosberg] has are going to take some time to catch up over the next races."Reuse content

Review on the FiiO RC-MH1 PCOCC-A Upgrade Headphone Cable
Greetings, I am here to present to you guys with a review on the FiiO PCOCC-A 3.5mm to 3.5mm headphone cable that FiiO had sent out to a selected few to review - free of charge. (Thanks heaps to FiiO for doing this:)
I had initially planned to have this review out sooner than this date, but things had popped up, and I hadn't really found the time to do so, until now, so apologies for that!
It was very nice of FiiO to do this review giveaway, because it just happened to occur that I was in the hunt for a new upgrade cable for my V-Moda M100's, seeing that cables made for these headphones are rather hard to find. Lucky for me, I didn't have to look any longer.
Anyways, there's actually not much for me to talk about here under this little intro, so I'll just carry on with the mini pictorial unboxing below..
So, this was what I had woken up to after a few days of being notified that FiiO had shipped my cables:)
The Parcel ^
The two cables found inside:) ^
Oyaide labelling ^
Un-packaged! ^
Simple packaging, and very elegant. Not much to it, and not much was really necessary for the cables after all.
Review time!
(DISCLAIMER: My FiiO RC-MH1 cables have been burnt-in for around 15-20 hours.)
I couldn't find a specification sheet, so this image will do for the time being.
(Source: http://www.fiio.com.cn/products/index.aspx?ID=100000047199928&MenuID=105026014)
Build Quality & Design/Function Factor
Build Quality
In one simple sentence, I can say this cable, the RC-MH1, is very well built. Although being a bit solid, you'd expect it not to be all that flexible, but in fact, it's somewhat flexible to some extent. Being a dual-stranded cable that are bonded together in between, pretty much makes it a flat cable, and that is what would prevent this cable from being at it's optimal flexibility point.
Aside from flexibility, this cable is also very well constructed, and hence shows durability. I may have not put it under any stress tests, nor have I used it under any hardcore conditions, I can say it will probably last through any forms of crazy activity. I guess in a way, you could say the cable is sturdy as the M100's itself, but maybe not to a military-grade standard.
Overall, the build is made to high quality levels, and it certainly would not disappoint for the price that would be paid.
Design/Function Factor
The metal jack^
Well...this cable sure functions as should, and its design is very nice. Even its design shows durability. It just looks relatively thick and the metal jack on one end of the cable looks of top quality.
The design flaws I'd state that I don't like so much about this cable is the fact that it's a dual-stranded cable, and the fact that it has a super long (3.3cm) 3.5mm jack that protrudes out of my M100's, which limits my movement when turning my head, due to it clashing with my shoulder. With the cables being dual-stranded, this gives it the flat-effect, which restricts the cable from being more bendable and may appear as though a lot of stress is applied to some areas when bending as opposed to if it were just a single-stranded cable.
The Cable^
Besides that opinionated flaw, the feel of the cable is very nice, as the rubberized effect makes the cable feel of better quality than cheap, plastic coated cables. At least with that feel, it allows the cable to bend better.
I don't feel there's much else to say about the design factors here, so I shall commence onto Sound Quality!
Sound Quality
How does this cable sound? Well..I asked myself that question, and to be honest, I couldn't notice much besides the fact that @miceblue had already stated in his review - the FiiO RC-MH1 cable sounds louder than the stock V-Moda cable.
Along with that, I had also noticed a slight increase in bass where it hits a touch harder (due to the copper) and it giving the overall sound a warmer presentation. I, myself, am not really a fan of warm sound, so this cable wasn't really made for my taste, as I am one who prefers the brighter side of things. In saying so, this should not stop anyone who doesn't like warm sound to stay away from this cable, because the audible differences are so minute, one might not even take notice. Aside from that, I honestly could not spot anything else that could be majorly noticeable, or worth listening for.
Comparison to the V-Moda M100 Stock Cables
V-Moda (Grey) 1-Button SpeakEasy Cable (Total: 132cm) Vs. FiiO RC-MH1 (Total: 120cm)
V-Moda (Black) Audio Cable Only (Total: 175cm) Vs. FiiO RC-MH1 + FiiO RC-UX1 (Total: 220cm)
Build Quality
I preferred the build quality of the M100 stock cables, because they are much more flexible and feel much nicer in the hands, compared to the FiiO RC-MH1. Although the one thing I'd give to the FiiO cable for build quality would be the jack. As I had mentioned earlier, the jack is made wonderfully and looks stunning. It's nothing really that special, but it sure does look better than any regular rubber coated jack, such as that of the stock V-Moda cables.

3.5mm Male Jacks (Goes into the source) ^
Sound Quality
As stated in my Sound Quality section of this review, all that was said was pretty much in comparison to the stock V-Moda M100 cables. The FiiO cables being the warmer, bassier type, whilst the stock cables sounded more neutral, and not so warm.

We left Naracoorte today saying farewell to Helen & Kingsley the caretakers of the Showgrounds & a lovely couple. Weather sunny but very cold not much traffic on road as we headed for Rest Spot 84 at Padthaway getting there approx 10.45am.The night is freezing but during the day is warm & sunny stayed only the one night.

Cool town
In Mundulla there was a cool park. Me and my brother Luke tried all the different ways of going down a gigantic slide. One is going on your tummie and keep your legs out to the side and someone comes down behind you and you go flying down the slide!
There was a hotel / pub we watched the cricket grand final!

... that you sit in and slide down. Needless to say, we had stopped especially and it seemed like something we should try. After R gave it a go first, he thought it 'needed more weight', so L helped out, and with both of us on it we flew down that thing like the Cool Running's bobsled team (possibly due to the increase in bakery treats occurring at the moment).

A Taste of Germany
Second last pack up – nearly there!
To break up the drive today we planned to stop for lunch in the town of Hahndorf. The last time I visited this town was during a year nine camp, and I was keen to go back and show my boys the quaint German town in the middle of the Adelaide Hills. This time around I was a little more interested in the history of the place – apparently it was settled by Lutheran folk from Prussia (not sure if I got that bit ...
And they're off!
Well. Here we are. On the road again! Going overseas was so last year, so we've decided to see some more of our own beautiful country. Heading West this time, across the Nullabor.
We finally got on the road at about 10.30 this morning. The past week has been pretty hectic with Mal and I both working right up until the bitter end, the boys finishing school, trying to remember what we need to take, last minute Christmas shopping and Christmas break-ups etc etc. ...


text: I'm not the cleanest of people, I know and admit this. But, I didn't think I'd ever have this problem because of it. My sister, whom I live with, just told me that she's late. We've been roommates for over a year and we talk often. She's had trouble with dating and so have it, so be it. Ok, so when I pleasure myself, sometimes I have to take a shit after, like that one bowling movie with Bill Murray, whatever. Recently, I remember dropping a load, then sitting on the toilet to take a dump and having a shower afterwards. My fear is that I might have left some drops of spooge on the toilet and when she sat down after my shower... fuck, I don't know if she could have gotten pregnant from it. When she told me she was late, I thought nothing of it, but then, the day after, while engaging in my daily routine, I noticed that I did leave cum on the seat. That's when it clicked and that's when the fear struck. I thought it over for a day or two and now I'm getting freaked. I know she hasn't dated anyone in a few months, so what else could it be? Do I tell her? How could I? If I wait too long and my suspicion proves to be true, then it'll be even worse. But if I tell her now, it will just be a fucking disgusting thing to tell your sister, but at least she could go get tested or something. This is some fucked up shit. I was going to write Dan Savage, but that might take too long. Any advice will be much appreciated. I feel sick to my fucking stomach right now.

Out of Bounds
The Lodge at Black Rapids; Richardson Highway, Alaska
This one's not for weekend warriors. Located 140 miles southeast of Fairbanks, in the middle of the Alaska Range, the three-year-old Lodge at Black Rapids is perfectly situated for long cross-country and backcountry ski expeditions. Built on a bluff overlooking the ruins of a gold-rush roadhouse, the timber-frame lodge has six rooms plus hostel-like accommodations on the ground floor. But that's not why you come. This season, owners Mike and Annie Hopper opened three miles of rugged, hand-cut cross-country ski trails, which lead to towering waterfalls, offer views of the mighty Hayes Range, and connect to a local 5K track. But if you're more of a fat-ski person, you'll definitely want to bring your powder boards and avy gear. Mike lets experienced guests tag along on his forays up drainages and down steep chutes. After dark, meals like local halibut, salmon, and bison are served family style, and guests gather in the enclosed top-floor deck to watch the northern lights. Doubles from $145.

EMPACT has been hard at work in Haiti and here at home, making sure that we're delivering on our promises to our recipients of assistance as well as to our donors. In September of 2011, EMPACT Northwest graduated Haiti's first US standard Emergency Medical Technician Basic level providers. In 2012, EMAPCT and other organizations dedicated to Haitian comprehensive Emergency Medical Services formed a working consortium Rezo Medikal Ayisyen (R.M.A.). April 2012, EMPACT NW organized and is hosting the second EMT class at the EMAPACT Haiti House. The focus of this course is utilization of current Haitian EMT's from the previous EMPACT/PAPMO course, as well as EMT's from the Haitian Organization Gwoup Ayisyen pou Ijans (G.A.I.). GAI is an all Haitian organization established following the 2010 Earthquake. GAI continues to receive support from the EMS community of New York State, including FDNY EMS via the Banshee/Alliance01 Organization. The goal of the EMPACT NW/PAPMO program is not only to educate additional EMT's for the city of Port Au Prince, but also to promote and educate Haitian EMT instructors. As the Haitian EMS capacity grows, the need for experienced and educated EMS providers will also grow. All R.M.A. consortium members are committed to producing an effective, sustainable all-Haitian EMS system. Education is the first step. R.M.A. Consortium is currently working with the above partnerships and in collaboration with the Haitian Ministry of Health (MSPP), Haitian National Police, various city hospitals, and seeking partnerships with the newly established 116 Haitian Ambulance communication center. At the same time, EMPACT is working hard at home to ensure ongoing fiscal accountability. We've recently begun a re-evaluation of our priorities and are currently refocusing our attention on disaster response, our original mission.
In 2013 Empact Northwest will continue to provide prehospital medical education to the members of Port-au-Prince medic one. To date, we have trained 60 EMTs and three EMT instructors.
The EMTs in Port-au-Prince, Haiti have formed their own organization with the purpose of continuing community first responder education. This new organization EMPACT Haiti will continue its education project starting January 2013. Under the advisement of Empact Northwest and other grassroots organizations, EMPACT Haiti has successfully trained hundreds of community based first responders in select neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince.
Meanwhile at project Medishare Bernard Mevs hospital, the Empact EMTs continue to work and develop their skills as professional EMTs. Not only have the EMTs been responsible for patient triage and other's traditional EMT skills, they have developed into various advanced positions within the hospital.
Some EMTs have expanded to positions such as operating room technicians, director of outpatient care, wound care and laboratory technicians.
Bernard Mevs hospital is one of the city's only trauma capable hospitals in the country. The high volume of cases arriving at Bernard Mevs have allowed our EMTs to become proficient in their skills as well as qualified for extended protocol skills such as suturing, injections, and administering IVs.
The board members of EMPACT Haiti would like to create a sustainable revenue generating business which will employ and allow members of Empact Haiti to deliver pre-hospital education to citizens of Port-au-Prince. To accomplish this vision, EMPACT Haiti must raise enough funds to cover the cost of their office and living quarters. EMPACT House, Haiti will provide an opportunity to generate revenue by hosting medical teams from other countries.
Using the house as a medical volunteer hostile will provide enough revenue for EMPACT Haiti to operate as a formal Haitian NGO. These revenues will also fund future EMT and community first responder courses. In partnership with Bernard Mavs, EMPACT Haiti will operate under the advisement of EMPACT Northwest to develop Haiti's first French language EMT curriculum to be submitted to the MS PP in 2014. EMPACT Haiti will also collaborate with the Haitian national ambulance service (CAN) while developing the new curriculum.
In order to begin this project in 2013 EMPACT Northwest and its volunteers have committed to raising the necessary starting capital that will cover the cost of the EMPACT House lease and provide a small operating budget to cover in the year 2013. This grant will be given to EMPACT Haiti as startup capital.

Like a small apartment. Separate bedroom, living and kitchen area. Clean, good maid service. Great for an extended stay if needed. Not sure of prices for a longer stay, for a few nights, similar to other hotels. Free breakfast and some snack food at 5:30 pm social hour. Free laundry facilities. Small and limited fitness room.
Enjoyed swimming laps in their clean pool Nice assortment of foods for breakfast Clean, quiet rooms
Great customer service from Heather at front desk. Fixed a reservation problem quickly and pleasently.
The size and functionality of the room. When myself and my guest arrived, there was NO ONE at the front desk to greet us. It took more than 10 minutes for us to find someone to help us. When the front desk person arrived, they were less than courteous to myself and the rest of the line up waiting to talk to someone. I felt as if our check in was rushed and that the inconvenience that I felt while waiting was not properly addressed.
Lobby Incredible food Torn shower curtain Long walk for retired Air Force disabled vet, not enough disability parking near entrance
For a "king suite" it was a very average room-may as well opt for a cheaper room. It seems one half of the hotel is way nice than the other-but it's still nice.
Ease of parking.Comfortable beds. Had to ask multiple times for a refrigerator in room when I previously confirmed a refrigerator would be in room at checkin. Needed more staff at front desk.
The location was perfect. We were going to an event at The Stage. Upon arrival the lobby was beautiful and the staff very welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable with all of the necessities. We ate both dinner the menu was amazing with variety of vegetarian meals. Breakfast as well. With such a beautiful lounge we ate there both meals. All of these things were of great quality but the staff is the shinning star of the hotel. The front desk clerk who always had a smile and a welcoming word to the shuttle driver and all of the wait staff!! The business end of the bathroom was a little worn.
Clean Noisy. You could hear all the doors closing. The maid service knocked several times very early in the morning on nearby rooms and was very loud. Someone attempted to open our dor n then ran away despite do not disturb sign
The room itself was great - big comfy bed, mini kitchen which included a toaster, microwave, fridge, pots and pans, and utensils. The double head shower was also very clean. They have a shuttle service that picks you up and takes you places within a 2mile radius which is great except it takes 30 min to come get you and then sometimes if it already has passengers it takes you all the way out to the airport when you just had to walk 10min. The breakfast wasn't anything great.. They had lots of options but everything was very bland, typical hotel food. I was sick for a full day because the milk I had was bad even though it hadn't expired. I think it might have been left out to spoil just a little too long.
Professional & courteous staff, modern & clean rooms, convenient location
The best deal you can get in Syracuse. Nothing
Room clean and good size. Staff very nice. Breakfast was good Had Internet connection problems which were a real inconvenience
Very comfortable and spacious rooms. Cozy comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Convenient location. Parking was tight.
We were very impressed with the hotel. Everything was very clean and the breakfast in the morning was delicious - you can make your own fresh waffles! The kitchenette area was wonderful, even though we didn't cook, we used some of the utencils. The hotel is right off of the highway, so it's perfect for an overnight stay while on a roadtrip (which is what we did)! Thank you :) Syracouse is sketchy and doesn't seem to have much to offer aside from the outlets but that is not the hotel's fault.
Friendly, professional staff; wonderful complimentary breakfast to include freshly made omelettes and Starbucks coffee; indoor pool, fitness room, and guest laundry; extremely comfortable beds. There was a large, loud group who checked in towards the end of our stay and were very loud and unruly all hours of the day or night. The hotel was very apologetic to us and offered us many complimentary options to resolve the matter as well as monitor and attempt to control the other party.
Vert Comfortable beds easy access to highway net work, a very good associated restaurant good parking would stay their again The breakfast facilities are appaling if you were staying with a family this would be a put off. it would be better if they can persuade the restaurant to do breakfasts
The room was very clean and the staff was friendly. The hotel had a pool which unfortunately closes at 10PM but also a fitness center which is open 24/7. I would highly recommend staying at Maplewood Inn Syracuse. The pool closes at 10PM which isn't really a big deal.
Comfortable bed
Location to restaurants and entertainment. Rooms are outdated and not clean. Bathroom had mold around toilet and shower. Customer service - Upon check in, I explained the wrong room was given to us, as the confirmation showed how many and what type of bed we should have. They did not care and told me the room I had was correct. Upon checkout, my credit card was charged for the room, even though I had paid through a booking site. I explained this to the woman at the desk, and she said since they could not find record of payment, she would not refund me. Instead of trying to satisfy me by making a simple phone call to the booking site, she told me I had to do the work and contact the booking site to find out details and then contact her to get the refund.
Room was neat & clean; nice linens and a huge rain shower stall. Close to SU and University Hospital. Continental breakfast is not offered nor included in room price. Parking costs extra. In a small market like syracuse, these should be included in the room price.
Quick and easy check in Good location right off the highway
Everything was fine. No issues at all. Very accommodating and pleasant staff. Nothing to note.
Beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. Continental Breakfast had no yogurt options.
It was clean and the staff was friendly. It is outdated and a little eery.
The room was very clean and the service/breakfast was great. It was also in a great location beside a gas station that has very cheap gas relative to the other I-90 gas stations. Great place to stop if you're traveling through and want to refuel and/or stay the night. The facilities and furniture were very dated--a bit overpriced for the quality of the facilities. Also, we were driving a moving truck/tow car, and there was nowhere to easily park the truck or to exit without backing up (which is very difficult with a large moving truck and car tow).
Great customer service and comfortable stay.
Room air conditioning was great. Mattress and pillows suprisingly comfortable. The shower was hard to regulate - but the water stream was strong enough.
Very clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. Short drive to everywhere we went Decor dated but we didn't really care and we just needed a place to stay for one night after a concert.
Great price, clean, and a free continental plus breakfast daily. Rooms have nice big adjustable flatscreen TVs if your stuck inside. Location is not within walking distance of too many things unless you go further than a mile. Minimal facilities, but to be expected at the price.
The staff and everything being available at this hotel for a small price. I loved the bed and TV, and it was quite a nice stay for the price that I paid. I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised.
Great price, Every thing was fine, very clean. Bed and pillows were great. Enjoyable stay.
Expected a three star hotel, and felt that it fell short.
The room reaked of smoke. Asked for another room and was rudely helped
The pool heater was broke and both the jacuzzi and pool were DISGUSTING! The breakfast was a joke! And I had to take a shower in another room because our tub wouldn't drain. The air conditioner felt like it was on its last leg. Never again! Don't bother with this hotel. What a waste of money!
Convenience to temporary work When I arrived TWO of the desk clerks told me that a small conference room would be available for me the next day to meet a client. The clerks said this conference room was open to guests free of charge on a first come first serve basis. Later on the "Asst Manager" told me it was fully booked for the weekend. During the weekend I walked by the glass doors several times, and never saw a soul in it. First two days of my five day stay, housekeeping did not even touch my room.
Hotel is good. Staff is great. They helped me out of a major problem when my car would not start. Syracuse weather.
Noisy heating system... Old and warn out
The shuttle driver was excellent. Gave us a ride to and from the mall for a comedy club and then recommended a nightclub for us to go to. Very friendly! The room was directly over the pool and it was extremely hot in our room, and there was no air conditioning. We opened the window, but too late.
good price with good buffet breakfast minutes from the thruway large accomodating suit nice atmosphere
I liked the feeling of the place...the staff was very nice and helpful and the good was excellent...the room was great and there were no problems The bathroom was a little small and there was no fan
The rooms are very spacious. Bed was comfortable. The courtyard is fantastic, it's so pleasant with the little stream running through. Good breakfast, omelette station was a plus. Staff upon arrival was very hospitable (fitting for the industry). Pool area had holes in the ceiling. Otherwise, everything seemed pretty maintained. My only other complaint is that the fire alarm went off at 6am and scared the heck out of myself and my partner. Went off for a good 5-10 minutes and as we were heading outside was shut off. When I was checking out that afternoon, the girl at the front desk just half-apologized and said the kitchen cleaners did it. I know it wasn't her fault, but pretend that you care about waking up 100+ guests with an air raid style alarm. It's hospitality 101.
Reception and breakfast were actually decent Plumbing backup flooded our bathroom. We had flies and fruit flies in our room. We booked this hotel because it had a hot tub, but that wasn't working. They didn't put up an out of order sign even though they knew it was broken. No towels in pool area. They didn't uphold no-children in pool area after 10Pm. Just a lot of disappointments.
Cooked breakfast. Facility is showing some aging. Missing coffee making ingredients in room. Noisy location (right next to thruway).
happy hour breakfast resturant Room housekeeping room size Room coffee machine
Nice, spacious with a great breakfast!! Didn't care much for the front desk staff. They were never available everytime we tried reaching them by phone.
The breakfast was great. Staff at egg station is very friendly and happy. The hotel is dark inside, needs more lights to make it feel alive and not so dull.
The bed and pillows were the most comfortable I have ever slept in at a hotel. Also the service was outstanding. The staff was very helpful and brought anything that was needed. Very quiet and comfortable rooms A bit noisy in the common areas as the pool is enjoyed and used by the children that are there.
Hotel staff was friendly and very helpful.
We stayed at Hotel Skyler on a visit to Syracuse University with my son. It was within walking distance to the campus and the local area had plenty of dining options to discover. (Try Laci's Tapas Bar if you want fabulous food and wine on your stay.) The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful and provided a warm, easy check in. The facilities had a chic, simple, modern decor that was immaculate and comfortable. Two minor items I would have liked to see at the hotel were an in room coffee maker (but they did provide complimentary coffee in the lobby) and later hours for the bar/restaurant (they have a snack stand available until 2 a.m.). I would definitely come back and stay again.
Location-close to Syracuse University, easy accessibility. ie parking free. Preservation of historic bldg.-beautiful job. "Green" renovation-ecologically responsible No actual dining room available, just a café/bar in lobby.
They are rightfully proud of the energy savings and material recycling designed into this wonderful ex-temple. Rooms are spacious and unique, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this place when visiting Syracuse.
Very nice and clean hotel in a unique building. Super convenient to Syracuse University; just a short walk up to Marshall Street and less than 10 minutes to the Dome. Rooms were spacious enough, even for a family of 4. All staff were helpful and very nice. Interesting lobby too. And if you stay for a football or basketball game then the on-site free parking is an additional bonus. Bathrooms were a little dark and the showers are European style (only half a door!) Bar seemed to close early.
Great location, very nice breakfast included, love the fact that it's a LEED Platinum building. Room was nicely equipped and the bed was very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. Just wish it had a hot tub for relaxing! Shower was interesting - no door and only a half-wall for privacy. It was just the two of us so it was fine, but could be more challenging if traveling with teens or anyone who prefers privacy.
Staff was great, location was great and the green initiative was is fantastic. Room was comfortable and quiet.
Lovely airy decor, modern yet comfortable atmosphere. Coming in late at night, I felt like I was retuning to a family member's home who had left the light on for me. The fact that it was a "green" hotel was an added benefit, but it certainly did not feel I was sacrificing anything. I also want to add that even though we were in a busy neighborhood, our room was very quiet. I had no complaints at all.
Room cleanliness was great Love their chocolate cookie gift upon check in and the candy bar in the room Very convenient off 90 thruway Cost was great for location and overall hotel quality Thank you for complimentary breakfast buffet Mattress comfort & quality was Just OK The restaurant is to the left of the front hotel entrance and there was loudness I stayed on the Hilton Honors level and noticed the noise level adjacent to my room and one level below. More sound-proofing needed
Everithing excellent
Hot tub and pool are great, well stocked with towels. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. No vending machines or options for food. They had limited drinks at the front desk that were overpriced, and the restaurant served breakfast that also seemed kind of steep.
The bedrooms we had were excellent They had not got our booking correct for either our arrival or departure! They seemed to imply it was our fault but it was sorted with out too much delay
Value. Staff was very friendly. Good location close to dining, shopping, etc.
The Baymont is really not bad for the value. You get a free breakfast, free WIFI, and a free gym so that's all nice. It's usually quiet and the people who stay there don't cause any trouble. Since you aren't paying a lot for a room, you shouldn't expect anything amazing. I can't say I've had a horrible experience here but we couldn't help thinking that our bed wasn't clean. In addition, they didn't even give us a top sheet for the bed and the fitted sheet was on upside down so we just got a weird vibe. Like I said, it's not horrible, but it's not very comfortable since you don't know how clean the hotel is
friendly staff reliable internet clean rooms (1) slightly musty smell in hallways, although not in room. (2) breakfast items exhausted more than an hour before breakfast ended, including coffee. (3) no lamp next to bed; only overhead light. (4) difficult to find news channels on TV (5) would have like NPR radio stations instead of TV.
The bed felt like I was sleeping on the boxsprings rather than a mattress. The duvet was so thin it couldn't keep anyone warm. The pillows were flat. There were small holes in the curtains. When someone was taking the trash out at six in the morning it sounded as if they were in my room. I would never stay there again nor would I recommend it to anyone.
The employee behind the counter was very helpful. The room was disappointing compared to other red roof inns I have stayed at and I specifically asked for a smoke free room and it tracked of cigarettes the instant we walked in.
Bathroom was clean. Non-smoking room smelled like cigarettes and room change could not be accommodated. Awful soundproofing. Trucks nearby were very loud the entire night. Bedding did not look clean.
It was cheap and they don't charge extra for dogs. Free wifi and staff is nice. In the winter the door opening to a walkway is colder and has issues. People always walking by your window so you don't open the curtains and therefore don't get much natural light. For hotel stays that's are thru a third party like this, are given smaller than normal rooms. So our room was the smallest. Only reason I'd stay here Ever, is if I had a dog. the decor is outdated
I liked the cleanliness of the room and the free soaps and tissues! I was really impressed by the cleanliness and newness of the room given the really low price for the night. The tv was brand new and it looked like a cool place to hang out and order some food in, if we had stayed longer. I didn't like how small the bed was and I was too tired to ask the staff to switch our room. Why would the receptionist put us- a lovely young couple- in a room with two small beds?? My boyfriend thought it was romantic, I could've used a bigger blanket!
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The outside hallways and banisters were dirty.
Clean, affordable, comfortable. Cant ask for more then that
The room was modern, clean and quiet. The entire hotel has been recently updated, so it was quite nice- especially for the price! I would definately stay there again.
Truck stop next door and 2 major highways in view made earplugs necessary. Room itself was fine and Italian restaurant Joey next door was good. Dennys next door too as this motel only offered a ot beverage in the morning.
Friendly staff. Great restaurant next door Drains didn't work with manual handle (both sink and tub)
I didn't like the fact that each room didn't have their own microwave. The beds were too firm and the curtains were ripped.
Good location, easy access. Good value for money. Ample parking.
Nice and clean hotel. Good value for money.
Convenient location, continental breakfast, smoking accommodations, pool, friendly front desk staff, attractive lobby, clean room, staff readily accommodated a request for a room change. First assigned room smelled musty and had antiquated air conditioner that made a loud buzzing every minute or so.
Close to syracuse everything was only a few minute drive. Room smelled terrible had to go buy febreeze to attempt to might it slightly better.
Good value and the restaurant was ok. Location. It was in the middle of an industrial park. When we drove up we weren't sure if it was even open.
Fridge & microwave in room The TV could have been larger.

The room is big and clean and staff is hard working and friendly. The room and hotel was quiet. Nice budget hotel and wifi worked well. Location is excellent & TV was sharp. Best 8 I have stayed at. Breakfast is basic but solid. No
The hotel was very clean, everything was just about new and very comfortable. Not afraid to walk around in bare feet. Only limited contact with hotel staff but they were very friendly and courteous. We had a ground floor room but there was no noise. Cannot not think of a thing that needed to be changed.
Comfortable clean and economic

The air conditioner didn't work well at cooling the room. it was a noisey inn. Also some of the breakfast items were all gone and not replenished. Good

Steve McClaren was approached in the car park at the iPro Stadium this week by two supporters who had come all the way from Australia to cheer on Derby County in today's Championship play-off final. "It must have been a long flight," quipped McClaren as he described how one of the pair predicted that his team would beat Queen's Park Rangers 8-0.
Those Aussies are not the only ones to have made a long journey to Wembley; in a sense, the same could be said of McClaren himself. It is six and a half years since he last led a team out at the national stadium. It was a rainy November night in 2007 when, as England manager, he had the door to Euro 2008 slammed in his face by Croatia.
The story of how he rebuilt his reputation in the Netherlands, winning the Dutch title in the first of two spells with Twente, and tasted Bundesliga football with Wolfsburg has been well told. Finally opportunity knocks once more for the 53-year-old in his home land and the prize could hardly be greater.
Promotion would give McClaren his first stab at Premier League management since leaving Middlesbrough for the England job in 2006. For Derby, whose turnover for the last financial year was £15.4m, it would bring a £120m windfall. "If you look at the consequences of the game and the enormity of the game and what it could mean, then you'd be a quivering wreck," McClaren said.
The consequences last time, after that 3-2 defeat by Croatia, were the sack for the man immediately dubbed "the wally with the brolly". He admits that failure still rankles. "It was just the feeling of letting the nation down, that was the biggest thing. At the time I thought I was ready and the job finds out that you are not ready. I didn't have the experience [and] together with a little bit of bad luck it didn't work out. But I have gone away and had great experiences and come back and am doing what I enjoy doing at a great club that I know well."
McClaren has come full circle, returning to the club where he spent three years as a player in the 1980s, and four as Jim Smith's assistant in the 1990s. With Smith he helped steer Derby to promotion to the Premier League in 1996 and steadily built a reputation as a progressive young coach, introducing, for instance, Prozone analysis – now a staple at Premier League clubs.
"They were great days with Jim. I knew then what Derby County was all about. Coming back we just want to create those times again."
If Smith, who still calls him before every game, gave him his chance as a coach, he acknowledges he also owes a debt of gratitude to Harry Redknapp, his Wembley rival this afternoon. This time last year McClaren was at home pondering his future, having ended his second spell at Twente a few months earlier. His only opportunity in this country since the England job had been a brief 112-day spell at Nottingham Forest, yet Redknapp offered him a coaching position at QPR.
"It came about through Jamie [Redknapp], who I met at a dinner. He mooted the idea and said he would mention it to his dad. I was doing nothing and it was [a question of] go and coach a good football team or go to Tesco every day and do the shopping. A tough choice. I think I took the right one."
The lesson of his three months at Loftus Road is that Redknapp warrants more credit than he receives for Rangers' presence in the play-off final. McClaren was shocked by the state he found the club in. "There were many players who didn't want to be there, who weren't on the training field," he explained. "I said to Harry after two weeks, 'You've got a tough job turning it around'. QPR could have gone very quickly down the leagues, as other clubs have done, if it hadn't have been for Harry.
"I think only Harry Redknapp could have done that job, I really do. Harry did what Harry does best. There were a lot of players who didn't want to be there; he had to be ruthless and they had to go. What he had then to piece together was a squad that could challenge to get back into the Premier League."
At Derby, by contrast, McClaren inherited a "young, exuberant" squad from his predecessor Nigel Clough, one containing home-grown talents such as Jeff Hendrick and Will Hughes to which he added impressive loan recruits like defender Andre Wisdom and midfielder George Thorne.
The contrast between the two teams is striking: while QPR's squad is packed with ex-Premier League footballers, the combined top-flight experience of Derby's starting XI for the play-off semi-final home win against Brighton was 28 matches. At the club's media day on Tuesday, central defender Jake Buxton recalled his days spray-painting cars and playing part-time in the Conference for Burton Albion. "That is the kind of club that I want – humble, full of humility and keeping our feet on the ground, going with the flow and trying to excite this crowd with our football," said McClaren.
The buzz is certainly back. Under McClaren and his coaching team of Paul Simpson and Eric Steele – Derby old boys themselves – a close-knit team rose from 14th in the Championship to third. The question is whether they can rise to the Wembley occasion or if QPR's greater experience will tell.
"There is a lot of pressure on Queen's Park Rangers and they have got to handle that," McClaren said. "It is a necessity that they go up, really. I know that from being there."
Of his own players, he takes heart from their display in beating Brighton 4-1 in the second leg of their play-off semi-final – their eighth win in 10. "They gave a near-perfect performance in terms of dealing with the pressure and the enormity of the game."
Now for Wembley and McClaren's own return to the scene of his unhappiest hour. "I was there for the FA Cup final – what a fantastic atmosphere. I'd forgotten what it was like. I said to the boys, 'You will love the atmosphere'. That was 25,000 [fans] each and we have 40,000 each."
All he needs now is a happy ending this time.Reuse content

Secte sinucigase/ Suicidal Sects (Romanian Version)
- Iulian DAMIAN
The sociological research of the phenomenon is required to highlight its actual size, its implications, to the safety of citizens on the one hand, and to freedom of expression of religious beliefs on the other. In the volume there are some general features of new religious movements with violent and suicidal potential. It is clear that many of these features are not only specific movements that were already involved in such acts, but some still exist and are proving very active. No. pg. 160

You'd think all the JFK assassination records would be public after 50 years but did you know CIA files on seven individuals are withheld for reasons of "national security?" The CIA may be withholding as many as 50,000 pages of documents related to the assassination. But it doesn't take much imagination to realize what they don't want released might help reveal what they are trying to hide, so let's look into these seven mysterious people.
1) George Joannides.
Joannides was head of Psychological Warfare at JM/WAVE in Miami, the CIA's largest and best-funded satellite station, although he apparently lived in New Orleans much of the time, where two training camps were located north of Lake Pontchartrain. One of his primary duties was supervising the Cuban Student Directorate (DRE), an anti-Castro exile group. When Oswald first arrived in New Orleans, he attempted to infiltrate the DRE before starting a one-man chapter of the pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba. Soon Oswald had a confrontation with some members of the DRE in the streets of New Orleans that led to newspaper and radio coverage, sheep-dipping Oswald as being pro-Castro.
Immediately after the assassination, all information the press initially received about Oswald was released through DRE members in Miami on orders of Joannides. In other words, in his role as a propaganda expert, Joannides shaped initial press coverage on Oswald. Keep in mind, the assassination was essentially organized through JM/WAVE's ZR/RIFLE Program. So Joannides' work in this area must be viewed as psychological warfare conducted on the unsuspecting American public.
When the House Committee on Assassinations was formed in the 1970s, Congress sent two researchers to investigate the CIA files on the assassination, which could not be removed from Langley. Strangely, Joannides was brought out of retirement to stonewall and block those two investigators so all trails into JM/WAVE could not be followed. But how transparent can you get, really? There should have been massive objection to Joannides as anything but a suspect in this case, and he certainly should not have been allowed to become the primary gatekeeper on CIA files.
Harvey became the go-to guy at the CIA's Berlin station after he engineered the building of a tunnel under the Berlin Wall used to tap into Soviet communications. But after the fall of the Soviet Union, it would be revealed the Soviets had been tipped off to Harvey's operation and manipulated this listening post to leak disinfo, once again proving the KGB was often somewhat strangely one step ahead of the CIA throughout the cold war.
After Ted Shackley was moved from Berlin to Miami to direct the war against Castro, he brought Angleton's star agent with him. The code name given to their new Executive Action Program was ZR/RIFLE and Bill Harvey was put in charge because he was the most ruthless go-to guy at CIA. But after JFK converted to work on world peace and wanted all anti-Castro operations shut down, he soon discovered Harvey didn't respond to Presidential directives he didn't agree with. JFK ordered Harvey sacked, but instead James Angleton moved him to Italy and his assassination squad, featuring handsome Johnny Roselli and other made members of the Chicago outfit, was soon directed towards a new target: JFK.
Harvey instructed his wife to burn all his papers upon his death. When asked why this was done, John M. Whitten, who briefly investigated the assassination before being replaced by Angleton himself, replied: "He was too young to have assassinated McKinley and Lincoln. It could have been anything."
Strangely, Harvey's obvious connections to this case have never really been been explored in the mainstream media.
3) David Morales
Morales was already the CIA's top assassin in Central America when Harvey recruited him into the ZR/RIFLE project to become his number one go-to assassin after Johnny Roselli. According the E. Howard Hunt's deathbed confession, Morales tried to recruit Hunt into the assassination plot, but Hunt apparently turned it down, which may be why he became an official CIA fallback patsy backstop.
There's a famous quote Morales gave while drunk one night, taking credit for being on the scene when both Kennedy brothers were killed.
4) David Atlee Phillips.
Phillips was one of the few CIA officials seen in the company of Oswald prior to the assassination (under the name Maurice Bishop). This sighting occurred while he was Mexico City's anti-Cuban officer, working under Winston Scott, but not really reporting to Win in regards to Oswald. After the assassination Phillips would quickly rise to become head of the western hemisphere operations and later created the anti-conspiracy propaganda operation known as the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), which became an important tool for holding back citizen researchers from uncovering the truth about the CIA's involvement in killing JFK.
Goodpasture had an interesting trajectory through the CIA. She became a special agent of James Angleton's and eventually ended up down in Mexico City working for Win Scott. Whether Scott fully trusted her, I can't say, but she was involved in hiding evidence of Oswald in Mexico and later became very close with David Phillips. Although she looked like a librarian, she was a master spook and wrote a 500-page secret history of the CIA in Mexico that hopefully will one day be released.
As team leader on the Bay of Pigs, nobody seemed to hate JFK more than Hunt. And Hunt did become Angleton's patsy in a way because he was falsely ID'd as one of the three tramps and then an Angleton memo placed him in Dallas that day. I suspect Hunt had little to do with this case, however, and was used more as a backstop than anything else. However, his close association with David Phillips may have afforded him a window on what was going on, although spooks are often left in the dark when it comes to covert operations. But of all the people listed so far, Hunt seems the most removed from the central core.
In April 1964, Nosenko tried to defect to the USA. He was a high-ranking KGB official who had recently reviewed the files on Oswald, someone the Soviets always suspected was an American agent and not a true defector. The CIA is hiding over 2,000 pages on Nosenko and his torture under the orders of James Angleton, who sought to break down Nosenko's personality because he was contradicting Antoliy Golitsyn, a previous KGB defector who had become Angleton's pet project. Golitsyn was also favored by British intelligence, but his material was wildly unreliable. Meanwhile, the more believable Nosenko, a true defector, was treated as harshly as possible, possibly in part due to his efforts to brand Oswald an American agent. You see, Oswald was an American secret agent, and he worked directly under James Angleton, which completes this circle of info and hopefully reveals some shadows of the team that killed JFK as well as some of the major players who helped cover up that event.
