VIDEO: Rex Ryan Curses at a Fan Who Tells Him, 'Belichick is Better' Than He Is
By: Ian Logue
Prior to Sunday night's loss to the Patriots, Jets head coach Rex Ryan talked during a candid interview with NBC about how "different" Bill Belichick is off the field, and how he's the type of guy who would be fun "to have a beer with".
That may be, but he still doesn't like losing to him.
A fan at the Meadowlands last night grabbed video of the Jets leaving the field after they were on the wrong end of a 37-16 loss to New England, with one fan poking Ryan and telling him, "Belichick is better than you."
Ryan didn't like hearing that, and shot back an expletive at him.
Watch the video below, and obviously be warned that the language may be inappropriate because it is, after all, Rex Ryan.

He is back at home after that emergency surgery, he can walk on crutches and sometimes without already.
The most important thing is that he will come back. I don't know how long it will take, we will see. I speak to him all the time and he's feeling much better.
Of course, I know Christian very well, I was very worried about him and I went to see him straight away at the hospital the next day.
I actually called him on that Boxing Day night after the Charlton game and said 'come on, let's go out to dinner with the children and the families because it is Christmas' but he said 'I'm not sure, I have this problem on my thigh, maybe tomorrow'.
I went out with my family anyway but when I got home I had a phone call from his wife to say that he'd had an operation.
I was shocked. I was there straight away the next day and another bad thing was that they couldn't close the thigh because the muscle was so thick. It was terrible for Christian but at least he has pulled through and started his rehabilitation.
Everything is done and he is improving, so let's forget the bad things and hopefully Christian will be back in a few months.

I'm thrilled by the outpouring of positive response to yesterday's post on amazing Etihad fares, and wanted to give you a day-after-Christmas gift in return. I'll always continue to share great deals as I find them, but I also want you to feel empowered to find great prices on all your flights, so today I offer you a rundown of the Web's best resources for tracking down cheap airfare.
These are my picks for the top 10 Web-based sources for cheap airfare. Bookmark these sites and come back to them the next time you're flight shopping. You won't always find the deal of the year, but there's a good chance you'll save money or find better routing options.
1. ITA Matrix. This software is the backbone of many online travel agencies and airline websites; it can find and price fares on most airlines, and displays the data in a user-friendly way. Enter your origin and destination, and the duration of your trip, and ITA Matrix will find you the cheapest fare for your itinerary. You can't purchase airfare directly from ITA Matrix, so once you find the best fare, you'll then have to relocate your itinerary with an online travel agency (like Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz, etc.) or an individual airline, any of which should be able to replicate your findings and issue a ticket.
2. Airfare Watchdog. This site works in a few beautiful ways. The search and compare feature allows you to compare an array of sites at once to find the best fare, and a single page shows you the top 50 fares from around the world at that moment. The flexible date search finds the best fares for destinations in the U.S. and Canada, while fares from a departure city or to an arrival city find you the best deals from your home airport or to the destination of your dreams. You can also sign up for fare alerts for your desired location/dates, and you'll be notified by email when the price dips.
3. Google Flights. Google purchased the licensing rights to ITA Matrix back in 2011, and now uses the technology to power its own flight search site. Best suited to searches for domestic U.S. flights (it doesn't search as wide an array of airlines for international flights), Google Flights' map view allows you to drag and drop your chosen route to another destination to see how the fare changes, while a bar graph view lets you see how fares rise or drop over a set time.
4. @TheFlightDeal on Twitter. The website for The Flight Deal serves up fare deals with some wanderlust-stoking visuals, but to maximize your time, a quick scan of their Twitter feed (and the common hashtag #Airfare) will tell you everything you need to know about the best up-to-the-minute, round-trip and tax-inclusive fares to/from just about everywhere in the world.
5. Mileage Run Deals forum on FlyerTalk. Not a mileage-run junkie yet? Well, delve into this forum and you soon might be. Devoted frequent flyers share their best fare-finds here, using a shorthand of airport codes (e.g., HKK, LAX, JFK, YYZ, etc.) and airlines (DL for Delta, UA for US Airways, AA for American) and abbreviations like rt (round-trip), ow (one-way), and ai (all-inclusive of taxes and fees). You'll often find suggestions about the best and worst days to book, as well as good rates of return on award bookings and fast-track tips to elite status. Learn the lingo of this insider forum and you'll soon be on your way to a great deal on your next flight.
6. Hipmunk. Treating your time and wallet with equal respect, this streamlined travel search engine was designed by Reddit's Steve Huffman as a means of showing you the best fares (as well as good prices on hotel rooms) and the shortest schedules. When searching for flights, Hipmunk shows you a timetable with colored bars ranked in descending order of "agony," a factor devised to incorporate price, flight duration, number of stops and departure/arrival times. (Keep an eye out for little WiFi symbols in each color bar that let you know a flight has WiFi.)
If you don't like the agony approach, you can always search by price, duration and departure/arrival times, or, as with Airfare Watchdog, sign up for email alerts to be notified when there's a drop in price for your desired itinerary. Like the ITA Matrix, Hipmunk doesn't allow you to book flights (or rooms) directly.
7. Momondo. Easily the most colorful travel site on the Web, Copenhagen-based Momondo crawls directly through airline (as well as hotel, car rental and vacation package) sites rather than utilizing a third-party aggregator like ITA Matrix. In its single-minded (and multi-lingual) quest to find the best fares, it often displays itineraries that recommend a different airline out and back, saving you the hassle of trying to do this yourself. Keep an eye on the site's fare calendar, as it will clearly show you when pushing your trip forward or back will save you some cash.
8. Yapta. A partial cure for travel-buyer's remorse, Yapta lets you know when your already-booked fare gets offered for less elsewhere, and when (per each airline's individual policy) you're eligible for a refund equal to the discount. When a fare drops within 24 hours of your purchase or dips low enough to offset the airline's change fee, Yapta sends you an alert that you should rebook at the lower price, pay the change fee, and pocket the difference.
9. Flightfox. When you post your desired travel plans on this 21st-century version of a travel agency, its crowdsourced hive mind of experts begin competing to find you the cheapest and/or best route(s). You'll pay an upfront fee that starts at $49 (rising with the complexity of the challenge), and the winning expert takes home 75% of that amount, while you follow the expert's booking instructions and save yourself a bundle.
10. Adioso. Designed for budget-conscious travelers with flexible itineraries, Adioso allows you to conduct vaguely detailed searches—such as "Chicago to East Africa in late September for 12 days"—and get a good idea of how far you can go for the best price. Don't see anything you like the first time around? Sign up for email alerts and see if the price drops and/or your destination becomes a bit more interesting.

Misery's Omen "s/t" CD
Here's some brilliant raw black metal from this Australian trio that's very much in line with what I love the most about the genre. This CD contains the band's four-song demo from 2000 along with their now out of print "To Worship Stone Gods" 7" from last year. It's rugged and primal, but in a tactful manner, there's plenty of speed and aggression, but there's also a great deal of dissonance, melody, and feeling... and to top it all off they experiment with some very calm passages where they utilize doom-laden riffing or clean guitars and slow, melodic solos. The vocals are great raspy snarls, occasionally venturing into lower growls or twisted high shrieks (barely hitting on "singing", but not quite). The songwriting is just awesome, though. I love the tempo variation and the diversity, and there's a lot of emotion here, which really makes a huge difference. And very few of the riffs sound "generic". Sure, there's some tremolo picking and some fast chord progressions that sound familiar, and some of the plodding midpaced rhythms aren't exactly anything new, but the way they handle things and the general mood here is definitely interesting and creative. The recording is really good. The bass tone is fucking awesome, which is nice because not only can you always hear the bass, but the bass performance is incredibly effective - accentuating the rhythms when necessary and acting as its own lead instrument elsewhere (I'm talking to a Steve Harris level here). The drums are nice and natural with a good amount of resonance, the guitars have that cold sort of distorted ring to them, and the vocals are in the center of the mix, slightly out front. The only thing I don't like is that the tracks from the 7" are mastered a lot louder than the tracks from the demo, and there's a lot of peaking to distortion involved... which is a bit bothersome. I can't really tell what's going on visually as the imagery is all very dark and abstract. It looks cool though, and I like the somewhat typical black metal looking band logo as well. The lyrics look like they might be handwritten (in strange lettering) and seem to deal with bleak, possibly apocalyptic themes as well as well as referencing "elder gods" and concepts of that nature. "Still waters ripple as distant whispers transcend into dreams, To our inner spirit calling to awaken thy lost identity, Muses sing song, versed from mythical times, To rekindle sacred inner knowledge, Arcane teachings, now for eons banished, Oh forgotten totem, though graven idols vanquished..." This band needs to do a full-length immediately. This is very promising material, and they could easily become one of my favorite black metal bands ever if they continue along this path. (8/10)

Hemos pasado cuatro dias muy agradables en esta casa de pueblo tranquila y bien equipada.Veo en la web que tiene lavadora pero no la supimos encontrar. Algun armario de la cocina no pasaria la prueba del algodón, pero en general esta bien. Los dueños son atentos y muy puntuales con las llaves. Aunque no tiene aire acondicionado la casa es fresca incluso en agosto. Se aparca bien en la calle. Nos ha ido perfecto que un bar cercano tuviera wi-fi. Hay buenas tiendas de alimentación cerca. Repetiriamos

Quake Series
video games are popular first person shooters along the same lines as
. Quake can be played either as a single person, or via a network in 'tournament' play with multiple people.
Following these guidelines will allow us to add your site to the directory as quickly as possible.

Use your site''s actual title.
Create a brief description, under 25 words, listing the current content of your site (not the future content)
Do not use first person verbiage (we, our, us).
Don''t bother using marketing verbiage. (We''re the best!, Most awesome site, Check it Out!) Marketing verbiage is removed.
All sites are reviewed periodically.
Cheats and Hints
Sites should have cheats and/or hints for multiple games in the series.
Clans and Guilds
A clan is a group of players that have formed a sort of team. They often play together, helping each other to improve. Clans often compete against each other, whether informally, as an impromptu match, or in organized leagues and tournaments. Some clans are open and always looking for new players, others require you to be invited from a member. Clan members often put a "tag" in their player name, with a combination of symbols and letters, to indicate which clan they are a part of. These are clans focusing on the Quake series of games, and resources relating to clans and clan events.
This category is for clans that cover multiple versions and types of play. If a clan is specific to one version of Quake, on type of gameplay, or one specific mod, please submit to a more specific category if it is available.
Linux Quake
Contains resources and information about Linux ports or clones for the Quake Series.
Modifications and Add-Ons
Modifications and Add-Ons for the Quake series.
Sites submitted here should have Modifications for the whole Quake Series, not just one game. If the site only has modifications for one game, it should be submitted in the Modifications and Add-Ons category for that game.
Quake, released in 1996, was one of the first games to really have internet play as a substantial part of it. From the demo release, there was far more internet play, then single player play. It also had a big effect when id Software released "QuakeC", the code that actually determined the gameplay itself, and gave players the means to edit this code, and change the way the game played. It gave way to a large number of "mods", modifications as to how it's played, and the goal. There is still a substantial crowd of people playing Quake over the internet.
Submissions should have their main content directed toward Quake, and not either of the sequels. (Those go in the categories for Quake II or Quake 3 Arena). Please make sure your site does not belong in one of the subcategories before submitting it here.

It includes a variety of game types, allowing straight deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, and a tournament mode, consisting of players taking turns going 1 on 1 against the last round's victor. It also allows the players to modify the game models, player skins, maps, and even the way the game plays, for a large amount of flexibility and conversions for the game.

As a Florida native, 11-year-old Peyton Robertson knows the havoc that hurricanes can wreak. He also knows that much of the damage from these hurricanes comes from saltwater flooding. After seeing the extensive flooding that happened during Hurricane Sandy, he came up with a partial solution: a lightweight sand-less sandbag that's purportedly more effective than traditional sandbags. His idea recently won the $25,000 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, which crowned Robertson as "America's Top Young Scientist."
"Sandbags are great in flood protection, but they can be heavy and hard to transport," he explains. Robertson's sandbag, developed with guidance from a 3M mentor, contains salt and an expandable polymer instead of sand. The mixture is lightweight when dry, weighing about one or two pounds. But when inundated with water, Robertson's sandbag expands and becomes denser than seawater. An interlocking fastener system, also developed by Robertson, keeps multiple bags in place while the polymer expands, ensuring that water doesn't seep into gaps between them
This isn't Robertson's first invention. Before the sandbag, Robertson developed both a golf ball warmer and retractable training wheels (designed for his sister, who was learning to ride a bike). "I love learning about things in the world that are hard to explain. You can find science in everything," he says.
This probably won't be the end of Robertson's work on sandbags. "I filed a provisional patent for the invention in the Young Scientist Challenge, and I would love to keep working on that—to help people with saltwater flood damage," he says.
The 11-year-old has no plans to go on a spending spree with his $25,000 prize. He says that he'll "definitely put it towards college." In the meantime, he's excited about another grand-prize reward: The opportunity to go to Costa Rica with the other finalists.

Lake (Escapement) makes a shift from steampunk to lush fantasy filled with exotic locales and exquisite descriptions. Sold as a child, raised and educated as a courtesan and secretly trained as an assassin, strong-willed Green retains her unyielding sense of independence, leading her to make drastic, unwise choices. Often used as a pawn and occasionally betrayed, she perseveres in trying to gain a measure of control over her life and a place to call home. Her goals become harder to reach when she's caught up in the machinations of immortals and power games of meddling gods. Despite an occasionally episodic feel and some rocky pacing that suggests it might have worked better split over several installments, the story is nicely powered by strong mythic undertones and a fresh take on the relationship between gods and mortals.

Green (Green Universe Series #1)by Jay Lake
Her exquisite beauty and brilliant mind were not enough to free her from captivity. That took her skills with a knife, plus the power of a goddess.

Her exquisite beauty and brilliant mind were not enough to free her from captivity. That took her skills with a knife, plus the power of a goddess.
She was born in poverty, in a dusty village under the equatorial sun. She does not remember her mother, she does not remember her own name--her earliest clear memory is of the day her father sold her to the tall pale man. In the Court of the Pomegranate Tree, where she was taught the ways of a courtesan…and the skills of an assassin…she was named Emerald, the precious jewel of the Undying Duke's collection of beauties. She calls herself Green.
The world she inhabits is one of political power and magic, where Gods meddle in the affairs of mortals. At the center of it is the immortal Duke's city of Copper Downs, which controls all the trade on the Storm Sea. Green has made many enemies, and some secret friends, and she has become a very dangerous woman indeed.
Acclaimed author Jay Lake has created a remarkable character in Green, and evokes a remarkable world in this novel. Green and her struggle to survive and find her own past will live in the reader's mind a long time after the book is closed.
Editorial Reviews
A girl is sold by her impoverished father to a man who takes her to the Court of the Pomegranate Tree, where she learns to be both courtesan and assassin and joins the group of beauties that form the entourage of the Undying Duke. Calling herself Green, the young woman rises to a position of power in a treacherous world. Lake (Escapement) has created a memorable heroine living in an exotic and sensual setting that draws from many historic cultures. A good choice for most fantasy collections.

"A fascinating, difficult character, Green lives in a remarkable world, in which gods walk the earth, and not all people are human. Lake's world-building is stellar, even with as idiosyncratic a narrator as Green, and the story she tells thrills." Booklist
"I adored Green the character and loved Green the novel. I highly, highly recommend this book, particularly if you're looking for a strong female protagonist." Mary Robinette Kowal
"Running with Green over the city's gilded rooftops, plunging through sewers with her to confront a skinless avatar of the God of Pain, readers will feel the exhilaration of freedom deeply prized, unceasingly sought, and hard-won." Seattle Times (Tiptree Award-winning author Nisi Shawl)

* * *
THE FIRST thing I can remember in this life is my father driving his white ox, Endurance, to the sky burial platforms. His back was before me as we walked along a dusty road. All things were dusty in the country of my birth, unless they were flooded. A ditch yawned at each side to beckon me toward play. The fields beyond were drained of water and filled with stubble, though I could not now say which of the harvest seasons it was.
Though I would come to change the fate of cities and of gods, then I was merely a small, grubby child in a small, grubby corner of the world. I did not have many words. Even so, I knew that my grandmother was lashed astride the back of Papa's patient beast. She was so very still and silent that day, except for her bells.
Every woman of our village is given a silk at birth, or at least the finest cloth a family can afford. The length of the bolt is said to foretell the length of her life, though I've never known that a money-lender's sister wrapped in twelve yards of silk lived longer than a decently fed farmwife with a short measure hanging on her sewing frame. The first skill a girl-child learns is to sew a small bell to her silk each day so that when she marries, she will dance with the music of four thousand bells. Every day she sews so that when she dies, her soul will be carried out of this life on the music of twenty-five-thousand bells. The poorest use seed pods or shells, but still these stand as a marker of the moments in our lives.
My silk is long lost now, as are my several attempts since to replace it. Be patient: I will explain how this came to be. Before that, I wish to explain how I came to be. If you do not understand this day, earliest in my memory like the first bird that ever grew feathers and threw itself from the limb of a tree, then you will understand nothing of me and all that has graced and cursed my life in the years since.
The ox Endurance bore a burden of sound that day. His wooden bell clopped in time to his steps. The thousands of bells on my grandmother's silk rang like the first rainfall upon the roof of our hut after the long seasons of the sun. Later in my youth, before I returned to Selistan to see the truth of my beginnings for myself, I would revisit this memory and think that perhaps what I heard was her soul rising up from the scorching stones of this world to embrace the cool shadows of the next.
That day, the bells I heard seemed to be tears shed by the tulpas in celebration of her passage.
In my memory, the land rocked as we proceeded, in a way that meant I did not walk. I had eyes only for Endurance and my grandmother. My father drove the ox, so my mother must have carried me. She was alive then. Of her I can recall only the feel of arms as a pressure across the backs of my legs, and the sense of being held too close to the warmth of her skin as I wriggled away from her to look ahead. I hold no other recollection of my mother, none at all.
Her face is forever hidden from me. I have lost so much in this life by racing ahead without ever pausing to turn back and take stock of courses already run.
Still, my unremembered mother did as a parent should do for a child. She walked with a measured tread that followed the slow beat of Endurance's wooden bell. She held me high enough that I could look into my grandmother's white-painted eyes.
Her I recall well in that moment. Whatever came before in my young life is lost now to my recollection, but my grandmother must have been important to my smallest self. I drank in the sight of her with a loving eagerness that foretold the starveling years to come.
The lines upon her face were a map of the ages of woman. Her skin seemed webbed, as if her glittering eyes were spiders waiting to entrap whatever little kisses and pudgy hands might stray too close. I do not suppose she had any teeth left, for her betel-stained lips were collapsed in a pucker that seems to me in memory to have been as familiar as the taste of water. Her nose was long, not so much in the fashion of most of Selistan's people, and had retained a certain majestic force even in her age. She had no hair left but for some errant wisps, though as most of her scalp was covered by the arch of her belled silk, I suppose this knowledge is itself a memory of a memory.
There must have been a washing, a laying out, a painting of the white and the red. These things I know now from my experience of later years, learned upon the corpses of those I helped prepare for the next life, as well as the corpses of those I have slain with my own hands.
Did my father run his fingers across his mother's cooling body to do these things?
Did my mother perform that ultimate rite for him?
Did my mother and grandmother live well together in the presence of my father, or did they fight like harridans?
So much has been taken from me. What has been given in return seems hollow next to the brilliance of that moment — the sharpness of the colors painted on my grandmother's face; the rich, slow echo of Endurance's bell and the silvery ringing from my grandmother's silk; the faded tassels on the ox's great curving horns; the heat that wrapped me like a bright and stifling blanket; the dusty, rotten smell of that day as my father sang his mother's death song in a toneless, reedy voice that sounded bereft even to my young ears.
That brilliance is reinforced by a skein of later experience, but it also stands alone like the first rock of a reef above the receding tide. I wish that the past were so much more open to me, as it is to the blue-robed men who sit atop the shattered heads of ancient idols in the Dockmarket at Copper Downs. For a few brass taels, they will enter their houses of memory to recount the order and color of festival parades and marching banners in decades long lost to dust.
Distant memory is an art that absorbs its followers, immerses them in the mazes of the mind. I am overtaken by recall of more recent times, of blood and passion and sweaty skin and the most pointed kind of politics. For all that was taken from me in the earliest days of my stolen childhood, those distant memories would still be safe and sane compared with what has passed since, if their return were ever granted to me.
It would bring me the sound of my mother's voice, which I have lost.
It would bring me the look of my father's face, which I have lost.
It would bring me the name they called me, which I have lost.
My image of my grandmother is as bright and powerful as sunrise on the ocean. She stands at the beginning of my life. Her funeral marks the emergence of my consciousness of the world around me.
For all that bright and shining focus on my grandmother, she was gone at the beginning of all things. Whoever she might have been to me in the rhythms of ordinary living is buried deep within the impenetrable fog of my infancy. I like to think she held me during the days when my mother must have worked the fields alongside my father. I like to believe she crooned to me songs about the world.
These things are even less than guesses.
My grandmother's last moments aside, what I hold most in my memory from those first days of my life is Endurance. The ox seemed tall as the sky to me then. He smelled of damp hide and the gentle sweetgrass scent of his dung. He was a hut that followed my father but always cast shade upon me. I would play beneath his shadow, moving as the sun did if he stood for too long, sometimes looking up at the fringe dividing his belly where the fur of each of his sides met and a fold of skin hung downward. The white of his back shaded to gray there, like the line of a storm off the hills, but always spattered with dust and mud.
The ox continually rumbled. Voices within prophesied in some low-toned language of grass and gas and digestion that endlessly fascinated me. Endurance would grunt before he pissed, warning me to scramble away from his great hooves and hunt frogs among the flooded fields until he found a dry place to stand once more. His great brown eyes watched me unblinking as I ran in the rice paddies, climbed the swaying palms and ramified bougainvilleas, hunted snakes in the stinking ditches.
Endurance had the patience of old stone. He always waited for me to return, sometimes snorting and tossing his head if he thought I'd moved too far in my play. The clop of his wooden bell would call me back to him. The ox never lost sight of me unless my father had taken him away for some errand amid the fields or along the village road.
At night I would sit beside the fire in front of our hut and stitch another bell to my silk under the watchful eye of my father. My mother was already gone by then, though I cannot recall the occasion of her death. Endurance's breath whuffled from the dark of his pen. If I stared into the shadows of the doorway, I could see the fire's fetch dance in the depths of his brown eyes. They were beacons to call me back at need from the countries of my dreams.
There came a certain day in my third summer of life that, like most days there, was hot as only Selistan can be. You northerners do not understand how it is that we can live beneath our greater sun. In the burning lands of the south, the daystar is not just light, but also fire. Its heat falls like rain through air that one could slice with a table knife. That warmth was always on me, a hand pressing down upon my head to wrack my hair with sweat and darken my skin.
I played amid a stand of plantains. Their flowers cascaded in a maroon promise of the sweet, sticky goodness to come. The fat stalks were friends sprung from some green jungle race, come to tell me the secrets of the weather. I had made up my mind to be queen of water, for it was water that ruled over everything in our village. Warm mud was caked upon my feet from my sojourns in the ditches planning the coming of my magical queendom.
Endurance's bell echoed across the paddy. The clatter had an urgency that I heard without at first understanding. I looked up to see the ox's ears flattened out. His tail twitched as if he were bedeviled by blackflies. My father stood beside his ox with one hand on the loop of rope that served as a bridle. He was talking to someone dressed as I had never seen before — wrapped entirely in dark cloths with no honest skin exposed to the furnace of our sun except the dead-pale oval of his face. I wore no clothes at all six days out of seven, and my father little more than a rag about his waist. It had never occurred to me that anyone would have so much to hide.
My father called my name. A thousand times I have strained in memory to hear his voice, but it will not come to me. I know it was my name, I know he called it, but the sound and shape of the word are lost to me along with his speaking of it.
Can you imagine what it means to lose your name? Not to set it aside for a profession or temple mystery, but simply to lose it. Many have told me this is not possible, that no one forgets the name she was called at her mother's breast. Soon enough I will explain to you how this came to be, but for now believe that the loss is as great to me as it seems incredible to you.
Papa turned toward me and cupped his hands to call out. I know my name hung in the air. I know I ran toward my father with my hair trailing behind me to be tugged by the sun and wind. It was the end of my life I ran toward, and the beginning.
Laughing I went, covered in the dust and mud of our land, a child of sun-scorched Selistan. My father continued to hold Endurance's lead as the ox tossed his head and snorted with anger.
Close by, I could see the stranger was a man. I had never seen a stranger before, and so I thought that perhaps all strangers were men. He was taller than Papa. His face was pale as the maggots that squirmed in our midden pile. His hair peeking out from behind his swaddling was the color of rotting straw, his eyes the inside of a lime.
The stranger knelt to take my jaw in a strong grip and bend my chin upward. I struggled, and must have said something, for I was never a reticent child. He ignored my outburst in favor of tilting my face back and forth. He then grasped me by the shoulder and turned me around to trace my spine with a rough knuckle.
When I was released, I spun back hot with indignant pride. The maggot man ignored me, talking to my father in low tones with a muddied voice, as if our words did not quite fit his mouth. There was some small argument; then the maggot man slid a silk bag into my father's hand, closing his fingers over the burden.
Papa knelt in turn to kiss my forehead. He placed my hand in the maggot man's grasp, where the silk had so lately slid free. He turned and walked quickly away, leading Endurance. The ox, ever a mild-mannered beast, bucked twice and shook his head, snorting to call me back.
"My bells," I cried as I was tugged away by the maggot man's strong hand. So the belled silk was lost to me, along with everything else to which I had been born.
That is the last of what I remember of that time in my life, before all changed: a white ox, a wooden bell, and my father forever turned away from me.CHAPTER 2
Leaving Home
* * *
The maggot man and I walked the better part of the day. My small brown hand was folded tightly within his huge pale one. He had looped a silken cord around both our wrists, lest I slip his grip and flee. I realized he was not a maggot, but a corpse. This man had walked into our village from the lands of the dead.
My heart flooded with joy. My grandmother had sent for me!
It did not take me long to understand how foolish that was. The maggot man smelled of salt and fat and the crispness of his cloth. The dead smelled — well, dead. If a person had been made ready for the sky burial, or an animal for the sacrifice, that was one thing — but anything that died under our sun soon became a stench incarnate.
He was alive enough. He must have been burning with the heat.
So instead I eyed the cord. It was a color of green that I had never before seen, bright and shining as the wings of a beetle. Women had their silks, but even my child's eye could see this was another quality altogether. The threads of which it was made seemed impossibly small.
The cord did not matter so much anyway. We had walked past the huge baobab tree that marked the extent of my worldly travels up until that day. The road we followed was a cart track, but the maggot man and I might as well have been the last two people alive under the brassy sky.
I know now that my father had a name besides Papa, and my village had a name besides Home. The world is wider than a woman can walk in a lifetime, perhaps a hundred lifetimes. Every town and bridge and field and boulder has a name, is claimed by some god or woman or polity or tradition. That day, I knew only that if I turned and ran far enough, fast enough, I would reach the old baobab and follow the hollow clop of Endurance's bell all the way to my little pallet and my own silk beside my father's fire.
The fields around us had changed even with this short walk. They did not harvest rice here. There was no endless network of watery ditches full of frogs and snakes. Fences stood instead, dividing one patch of stone-filled grass from another identical patch of stone-filled grass. Faded prayer flags hung on fenceposts, almost exhausted by wind and sun. A few narrow-bodied cattle with large sagging humps watched us pass. No light stood in their eyes, nothing like the spark of wisdom that had dwelt in the fluid brown depths of Endurance's gaze.
Even the trees were different. Skinnier, with thin, dusty leaves instead of the broad gloss of the nodding plantains at home. I turned, slipping my wrist around within the loop, to walk backwards and look down the long sloping road up which we had been walking.
A ribbon shone in a broad land below us, silver bright with curves like the sheltering arms of a mother. Fields and orchards and copses surrounded it for a distance of many furlongs, punctuated with the rough nap of buildings and little smudges of forge fires. Was that water? I wondered.
The maggot man slowed his stride to allow me my stumbling backwards progress. "What do you see?" His words were thick and muddled, as if he had only just learned to talk.
A land of rice and fruit and patient oxen, I thought. Home. "Nothing," I said, for I already hated him.
"Nothing." He sounded as if the word had never occurred to him before. "That is fair enough. You leave this place today, and will never see it again."
"This is not the way to the sky burials."
Something in his words miscarried, because he gave me a strange look instead of answering. Then he reached for my shoulder and twisted me around from the past to face the future once more. The clasp of his fingers ached awhile.

A critic who reviewed this book stated that it was akin to Carey's Kushiel Series. Of course, after reading that I couldn't get my hands on it fast enough. The plot was easy enough to follow, with a false climatic part (or so I thought), that was really a build up for the true climax. The characters were likeable, however I never fell in love with them. The descriptions were .... Almost there. It is hard to explain. It is kind of like trying to watch a TV show with really bad reception. You get the basic idea, but I felt like it lacked on last nudge, one last description, to really solidify the image in my head. Despite that, I find that this book was a fairly decent read. I did finish it, after all. I'll probably read another one of Lake's books. I think that maybe I expected too much because I am such a huge fan of Carey's lush world and descriptions in the Kushiel series. I think that if you didn't go in with really high expectations (as I did) you would be perfectly happy with this book.
I'm all for a book about assassins but. . . i have to say that i was really disapointed in this book. Green is supposed to be a strong person and an assassin but she can't even kill someone who beat her brutally for years and another who tried to rape her without crying and vomiting over their deaths and then saying a prayer for them. I had high hopes for a strong heroine in this story but Green seemed more like a weak character full of bluster. She talked big, but didn't back it up most of the time. Despite what she said, she was constantly getting pushed around. She was full of anger but wasn't directing it in the right places. She just didn't have any redeeming qualities. I felt this way about all of the characters. The characters didn't have much depth and they weren't really likable at all. In fact, i detested the majority of the characters because they seemed nice, if somewhat mysterious at first, and then turned cruel and vicious the next second. It was a long and droning story which could have been broken up into more than one book. I just couldn't get through the book because i couldn't stand to watch this protagonist who was supposed to be strong, beat herself up (literally, she cut her own face) and to tolerate others, (in some cases her own "friends") to beat her up too. With that being said, the book had the potential in the beginning to go somewhere great, but instead it progressively got worse. I sadly, wouldn't recommend this book.
Green is a great character. At times I felt like this book was more a character sketch than a story, as it dragged in some spots. I nearly gave up a time or two. I liked the resonance of the book, and how things tied together in the end.
I am an avid reader and I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of fantasy novels.
She walked in
Looking forward to others
Great book!
I just couldn't get all the way into this one.
I found Green's story quite compelling. A strong, realistic hero with a well-rounded sense of humanity. A very well-written first person account.
I thout me was lock out
Adventure fighting romance all presented in unconventional wsy
Although I really liked the concept behind Green, and enjoyed the first third of the book - the coming of age arc - it rapidly began to drag with an increasingly forced plot, more random situations, and a colder, less emotional main character. A good read still, but I wish the three sections of this book had been broken into three separate novels, with proper care to give each a growing character and plot development.

It's pretty obvious that saxophonist Gust Spenos developed the idea for his group's debut album, Swing Theory, with his tongue firmly lodged in his cheek. He's proposing a quasi-scientific explanation of swing music, and as part of the fun has likened it to the string theory in physics. He's even linked the two theories on the cover art, which cleverly features a classroom full of students that includes everyone from Einstein and Hawking to Goodman and Ellington.
Cute idea, but none of that would matter if the music on the album didn't make the grade, and I'm happy to report that it's an outstanding collection, filled with the kind of music I like. Spenos, who is a neurologist in his other life, is nonetheless an accomplished tenor saxophonist. The other members of his quartet, which consists of pianist Marvin Chandler, bassist Frank Smith, and drummer Kenny Phelps, are all solid instrumentalists too.
Additionally, the quartet is joined by celebrated trombonist Wycliff Gordon and the talented Eric Schneider on alto sax and clarinet, which helps the group provide a fuller, big-group sound. And finally, Spenos recruited veteran jazz baritone vocalist Everett Greene for some added value on a couple of tracks.
Greene has a rich, deep voice and those two pieces, "The Nature Of Love," and "Looking For Someplace To Be," are a nice change from the other ten tracks included, but for me the strength of the album lies in the instrumentals. And as you might guess for an album of swing music, those selections are are mostly familiar jazz standards.
Some of the best include those with extended solos from Spenos' tenor and Schneider on alto and clarinet, including "Secret Love," an old song usually heard as a vocal, and the dependable old standard, Irving Berlin's "Cheek To Cheek." Meanwhile, Gordon shows off both his trombone and his scat singing on Dizzy Gillispie's "Ow."
Some tunes are probably not a surprise in a collection like this, for example "Body And Soul," but it's a good listen too, with Schneider shining, and there are a few that might be a little less expected. Good examples are "Tangerine," and my favorite on the album, "Mountain Greenery," which spotlights Spenos.
It's obvious that the musicians love what they're doing, and the result is something that most listeners will find enjoyable too. It's certainly my kind of music, and if you'll give it a chance you might find that it's yours, too.Powered by Sidelines

The beach view was just as great as Maui (in a different way) if not better. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, staff were beyond friendly, & plenty more! I was happy w the entire stay! Nothing
Everything was great, except for the wifi connection. We ended up needing to use our data instead in order to do anything requiring the internet. Overall a lovely and romantic stay.
Oceanfront room with gas fireplace on a chilly day. Very clean and comfortable. Very nice restaurant for dinner and breakfast.
tHE LOCATION iT WAS SHABBY AND RUN DOWN. WHO'S THE SLUMB LORD THAT OWNS IT? THERE'S SO MUCH DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THAT IT WOULD TAKE A CREW OF HANDIMEN MONTHS TO PUT IT BACK INTO GOOD SHAPE!
Loved the view. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Linens were fresh and crisp. The shower had excellent pressure. View was slightly marred by another building. The room had a definite slope to one side. Entering the bathroom was like the Twilight Zone. The beds were saggy. The shower curtain was old and the threads were pulled. The only way down to the beach was 84 stairs. Being disabled, the beach at this motel was inaccessible. Only french roast coffee.
Nothing. Our ocean view was obscured by the dark and dirty roof of the building below. We were obviously given the oldest building of the group. Very small, dank, the sheets felt damp, the whole room was dirty, including the fan which had lint and hair blowing out of it. NO AIR CONDITIONING! I purposely re booked with Shilo Inn to have a pool for my daughter and upped my price about 60 dollars and was SORELY dissapointed. I will never stay here again. Gross gross gross.
Good room for a great price.
The ocean view and closeness to Nye beach area was nice. This hotel is run down and needs to be updated. There were kids running all over the room above us both nights. The room window openings are too small to let in any air and it gets very hot in the afternoons. Won't go back.
Won't be staying at a Shilo Inn ever again based on our experience at this location
The views! Every room had an unobstructed view of the beach. It was a nice change of pace compared to other hotels in that price range. The rooms were very dated. When I want to check in, there seemed to be too many trainees and not enough people behind the desk that knew what they were doing. It seemed like there was one person behind the desk that knew what he was doing. Every question from the other people checking in and the cleaning staff was going through him, which increased the waiting times for everyone else , the line was literally out the door. What stuck me as odd was there was another person there who knew what to do but decided that at 4:00, chech in time, she had to go home instead of helping out. Because of the line of people checking in and rooms not being ready by check in times, it took me 30 min just to get my room. If it wasn't for the view, I would of went somewhere else.
Ocean right out the door. Convenient to walk to cafes (panini and stephanies are great). For the price very dated amenities. Make me scared of what the $60 hotels in Newport are like.
Got an amazing deal and didnt pay extra for an ocean view but still got one, hotel is right on the beach You could hear all the noises from people walking and talking outside
The room and accommodations were excellent. The hotel staff is friendly and courteous. The beds were very comfortable and had very nice pillows. The waitresses in the restaurant were pleasant and helpful. They made a point of sharing the absolutely breathtaking sunset over the ocean with us and suggesting local attractions we might enjoy. The hotel is nice and has a great location, but the staff makes it even better. The food in the restaurant is not that good. We enjoyed the calamari, and the atmosphere and view were fantastic. It's not a bad place for a pleasant quiet meal, and you can't beat the view. But if you really want to experience good local dining ask the staff where the locals go for good food.
Location... View was the best. Room was dated. Fridge was broke. Pool looked skungey.
The beach access was perfect, as was the view from the room. The hotel was close to everything, we walked to the shops at Nye Beach, plus a short drive to the bay front district. Breakfast coupons and free drink coupons on site were perfect! Nothing we didn't like!
The staff The mattress was due to be replaced
Very romantic waterfront Hotel we had an excellent stay and will definitely be back There wasn't anything I didn't like
Love this hotel. The beach views are fantastic. Room had a great balcony overlooking the ocean, and a nice fireplace. The staff was friendly. We stayed there 2 nights - room has a fridge, which is nice. My kids loved the pool. I was not a fan of the breakfast. The sausage gravy was not very good, and the eggs did not look appealing. To be fair, most hotels offer a "free hot breakfast", and IMO, most are not very good, so I am not surprised.
No surprises. Good bed and linens. Appreciate the in house laundry"
The hotel was tastefully done and very homey
Good location Overpriced for average in everything but the location
My husband and I stayed here 1 night but wish we stayed longer! The staff was super friendly. The room was a nice size and included a couch and fireplace. The view was lovely even considering the foggy weather we were given. Would definitely make a point to visit here again! The elevator is slow
Everything else Bed
We had an upgrade to a king suite, which was very pleasant. The facilities were nice and the staff kind. The bed was comfortable and the location in Nye Beach is great. In room french press and coffee was pleasant. Access to games and DVDs was great for our family. We didn't have direct beach access from the Inn due to construction that blocked the staircase. The room was also difficult to keep warm enough, especially the bathroom.
The pool and the hot tub worked well for us. The staff were great. Close to the aquarium. Our hotel's view was of the hotel next door parking lot with very bright lights. But as the only hotel left in Newport that day,I'm not complaining!
She room was really nice. Mosquitoes in the area got into the front area.
Loved that there was an indoor pool and hot tub. Close to the aquarium. Lobby was clean, warm and inviting. Even decorated for Halloween. Our room had a very funky smell to it. Room 209.
There was absolutely no ocean view like the pictures suggested. when I booked a suite I expected a bedroom in its own room. Not a half wall dividing a pull out couch with an inch thick mattress that was slanted. I have a toddler and thanks to the misrepresentation we had to be in bed with him at 8:30. The front desk did nothing to aid my complaints besides tell me I read the website wrong. This room was definitely not worth the $200 a night I paid for it and I will never be returning to this hotel.
Comfortable room Reserved two nights, schedule changed and only needed one. Still charged for two and they told me there was nothing they could do.
Continental breakfast is always a plus. Beds were comfy and having a fridge in the room is a great point for my choice of hotels.
Staff was friendly, room was clean and it was well located. Hot tub wasn't working and the beds were really uncomfortable. We aren't high maintenance people but they were pretty solid and firm.
Bright lights on parking lot, HD programming Soulless, boxy, long hallways
Beds are always comfy, like the microwave and fridgie in the room, room size is always generous however, the carpet in the room had large brown spots on it, the elevator was a tight squeeze and slow, and the walls could use some new paint. We could also only get one seat in the breakfast room so my sister had to stand and eat.
Pool, breakfast, staff. Location was great.
Small breakfast room, had to wait for a seat
I wouldn't book this hotel for your anniversary. But we took our family to the aquarium and it was perfect!!! A great value Pool, fitness center Great kind staff Continental breakfast Clean and updated for the coast It's hard to walk to the bay front with kids because you need to cross the bridge
What was not to like. This is not our first time staying at the hotel. We come up every year from California and this is always the place we stay at. Everyone is always nice and it's always clean.
The Starfish Grill, we ordered the special for breakfast. 2 waffles, 2 pieces of bacon. It came out, and it looked like 2 small freezer waffles. Very disappointed. I thought they would at leastsketch fresh breakfast, especially since we were paying for this. No free breakfast as BW has been advertising.
Very convenient to beach. Nice swimming pool. Excellent on-site dining in the cafe. The prices were reasonable and the food was good. The bacon...yum! All staff that we encountered were polite and friendly. Good choice for families. Also dogs are allowed! The air system in the room was out of date and made sleeping stuffy unless the door was left open. This used to be a Hilton, and now looks like there are a number of updates necessary....some holes in the wall..in dining room. Though everything was clean it had a bit of a tired look. However, I will say that I think it is an excellent lodging for families.
We stayed with our children on the top floor. They loved it! The view was beautiful. We will be staying there in the future. It is close to the beach and they have a little hose to wash of sandy feet near the path up to the hotel. Pool room is great too! We wish they offered a free breakfast.
We love the location and ocean view this hotel offers. We arrived 3 hours before check in time and the staff had our room ready within 15 minutes and allowed us to check in early. The room is not kid friendly, there was cords everwhere. My crawling 9 month old brought light to many open outlets and dangling cords throughout the entire room. We also saw several splatters of unknown substances around the rooms walls (gross) and on the headboard (even grosser).
Everything. The staff was friendly, the room was very spacious and clean. We received 10% off at the Steakhouse right behind the hotel (and it was delicious), plus the free hot breakfast was very good. Overall, one of the best hotels I've stayed at. Nothing
The 101 was shut down in the direction we were heading and we needed a hotel at the last minute. We got a good deal on the room, check in was snappy, room was comfy and clean. The bathtub was a little uncomfortable.
The beds were comfortable and the hotel was clean. It was a little too spendy.
The only thing i liked about this hotel was how close it was to the beach. My credit card was over charged 3 times! They over charged me a total of 229$ when I went to talk to the manager about this she said there was nothing I could do until tomorrow when you check out. So needless to say my vacation was ruined. I wasn't able to do as much as I had wanted to do. Then the next morning during check out she reversed all the fees. Later i checked my bank statement to see if the money was refunded and they had shorted me a dollar. I will never stay at this hotel again. Nor will i ever suggest it to anyone.
The view was Great and the weather perfect. Sunny and windless. Even if it had been raining and windy it was still a great place to watch rough weather, Room was very comfortable. Kitchen had all the right stuff and everything was very clean. Bed was very comfortable - no complaints there.
Tha location overlooking the Newport Bay is very nice and relaxing. Great view. Close proximity to the historic bay front. The room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The pillows were not the best, very firm and not comfortable.
Cleanliness, professional staff, great value for the money, proximity to beachfront.
Comfortable rooms, good breakfast, lots of pillows Cable TV
Staff were very friendly, courteous, and helpfu. I wish they included recycle bins in the room. The hotel did not seem very eco-friendly.
Comfort Inn is always a good value. Clean, comfortable and friendly staff.
The room and beds were comfortable. The staff was attentive and helpful. The included. Real fast had tons of options and offered something for everyone.
Great location for everything that I needed to get done on this trip
We were right across from the beach. The room was super clean and modern. The staff were so kind and helpful. Nothing, I would stay there again
It's in the bay with a nice view Room was about 25 years outdated, sub par cleanliness, and old room smell
I appreciated that the staff was very friendly and helpful. I had a problem with the booking company to upgrade my room, which was not acceptable. I arrived at the resort and they were able to upgrade my room with no problem. I will go back again.
My boyfriend and I stayed here one day and one night during a coastal road trip. The view from our condo and the pure coziness of everything and the beauty of the grounds made us want to stay for a whole week! It was my boyfriends birthday and I purchased the celebration package for him and Aaron went above and beyond with it! The grounds are beautiful and well kept and I can't wait to bring my family back to this gem!
The apartment was like new with excellent views of the beach and headlands. Excellent for family dog too. Good for both fair and foul weather.
Location is the best part. You can walk to the bay and brewery. Downtown area just over the bridge and down to the right! It was hot as hell in the 3rd floor. No AC, carpet sticky. Smelled like asshole. Very stinky. Okay clean. Staff ok. TV nice. Nothing special. It's good for a quick stay. Stayed two nights. would not stay again. Only if nothing else was available. You get what you pay for.
Pretty bedspreads Staff was quite rude. Half used limes, salt and dirty glasses were under the beds.
The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The cleaning crew were very nice and the evening clerk was helpful. The continental breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Donuts, cereal, muffins and a little fruit was all that was offered. Coffee was to bitter to drink. The staff made you feel awkward while getting breakfast. Only cool air is by opening the window so at night it was a little to warm to sleep.
My husband and i really liked that the facility had a hot tub and offered guests free continental breakfast each day. The room was very neat and clean, and our bed had lots of comfy pillows! The building needed obvious updates. The "spa" was a hot tub that was not very hot and had no dial to turn up the temperature. Our continental breakfast was free fruit and a bowl of cereal. Not much continental about that!
Clean rooms. Breakfast very limited and not restocked very well.
A last minute decision to stay in Newport. There were no AirBnB's and this was a good option. The room and bathroom were clean. People parked their SUV's in compact spots. The breakfast was grab N go, and super sugary. Anyone who was using the water you could hear the loud pipes through the walls. Too expensive for this place.
The breakfast was awesome with eggs, waffles, cereal, juices, hot chocolate, fruit, bagels, muffins and probably more. Knocks $20+ off the price of the stay, in my opinion. Check-in was a minor hassle because of Costco firing American Express and switching to CitiBank Visa cards. This resulted in the credit card I used to book the room earlier this year being denied when we attempted to check in. Apparently, our reservation was cancelled because we were not at the motel at 3:00 P.M. However, the receptionist was able to get approval to reinstate the reservation within 10-15 minutes and we enjoyed our stay.
Nice staff. Decent breakfast. No elevator. Funny smell to room. Lumpy mattress. Place has a very old and worn feel to it.
Way over priced for cheap nasty motel.
Beds not so comfortable
covered and somewhat enclosed passageways - helped muffle hwy 101; saw ocean but would have liked to hide houses between hotel and ocean. continental breakfast. friendly staff. comfortable bed. Sue
Walking distance to beach and Nye Beach area. Staff was very helpful. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast bar very small with only a single coffee pot; selection mediocre. Grounds untidy and messy & smelly garbage container near rooms and ice machine. Building needs upgrades and repair.
Clean Air freshener was way too strong when we entered the room, my daughter's sinuses kept her up all night long.
conveniently located close to good restauarants spotty wifi
You should stop emailing me after this You emailing me 5 times
Easy to find and good location on main highway through town. Room was clean and comfortable. Wish breakfast had diabetic options.
Clean rooms and good breakfast selection. Low rates for a good clean hotel room. Would be nice if they had a pool or spa.
Nothing Waited for ever, him and family were eating or something. Finally shows up to the desk n is rude n short. Was in a bad place n was run down. Went to the Shilo was great n had good food. No pets ever which is against the law with service animals. Don't go place looked terrible...
If you are looking for a clean, decent hotel room close to the beach and attractions but are on a budget, this is a great place to stay. Friendly staff, great location and very clean. Bed was very comfortable too!
Checked out little late but they were totally cool with it. Folks working the front desk and cleaning was done very well. For the price, I really can't complain. Close to all the surf spots near Newport.
Despite the name, the room was clean, bed was soft, they're located just up the hill from Rogue Brewery and a lot of adorable shops on the inner side of the Newport bay, and the beach on the other side. It seems weird to mention but the window opens - something a lot of hotels at this price level have sealed shut. That's great with what nice weather you get most of the year. The name kind of implies something a lot worse. There was a loud argument between 2 people in one of the adjacent rooms, but, I've had that at pricey hotels, so, not very relevant.
I booked the day we came on Spring BREAK so I was thrilled I got something at all. But the bonus was the family who ran it was cheerful and polite. You could tell by the grouds and rooms they took in pride in their property. The only thing I'd change is the bed, it was a tad squeaky due to the plastic on the box spring. We'd definitely stay again.
Short walk to beach access. Staff were friendly. I said I wanted a quiet room, they think the highway side is quieter but in no way is that remotely true. There was sticky brown substance on the microwave buttons, there was sticky clear substance on bathroom floor. There was an overpowering floral/fruit scent permeating the room which never subsided even with door and window wide open.
You get what you pay for. Old and musty. Good enough for a one nighter
Mike was great with customers, very friendly n knowledge able No, was good value for the money
location I liked that the rooms are non-smoking - I DIDN'T like that the room I was in was right next to (e.g. 2 feet from) the designated smoking area, which wasn't immediately apparent since it was two steps beyond the room (walked to the room, not past it)
Not 1 thing horrible, dirty , even the parking lot was horrible , like you might get mugged . And apartments looking directly into my room.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The lication, absolutelt. There was no ac that we could find, there was a fan but no way that we saw to turn it on. We went to dinner and planned on asking about it when we returned, but by then the front office was closed.
The staff was incredibly friendly. The room was very clean. The wall are very thin. We could hear the people in the next room whooping it up until 1 am.
The Staff was all great. The cleaning staff gets top kudos. Office staff efficient, and cordial as could be also.. My wife is pretty much a stickler about CLEAN... and I can say that she was totally impressed. So if you or yours like CLEAN...!!
The location was good, and the bed was comfortable. No AC or fan. It was extremely stuffy and too quiet. No cribs for use. The shower had no pressure and no hot water. The free breakfast was lacking. There was no selection or variety. The hostess wasn't very helpful on the phone. NOT recommended.
Free Wi Fi was incredibly fast. Very close to the beach and walking distance to great food (Newport Cafe) No AC. So did get a little warm. Luckily we had a fan with us just in case.
Good quality continental breakfast with locally made quick breads. Decent coffee. Close to the beach and downtown. It can be noisy (road noise) as it's right on the 101 through town.
Its good Nothing as such
I liked the location. Staff was friendly! For the most part the room was clean. Although I didn't use them they had a refrigerator and microwave in the room. This is always a plus. Had to park on the street because all the parking spots were taken. The shower, not soogood. It was pretty much a trickle. I guess they were trying to save water and money but not thinking of pleasing the customers. The continental breakfast was a joke.

Syrian rebels claim to have attacked a military intelligence base in Damascus amid growing signs that the country is sliding towards a state of civil war.
The Free Syrian Army, a corps of defected soldiers, said it had launched a series of assaults in the capital in the early hours of this morning, including on the Air Force Intelligence headquarters in the suburb of Harasta.
The renegade group said that other attacks had been made against military checkpoints in the Damascus suburbs of Douma, Qaboun, Arabeen and Saqba. It released no details about the fighting or possible casualties.
