The decor was fabulous! Staff was so helpful. We needed help to get back to Munich when the border was closed to Germany from Austria. They all helped us find an alternate route to get home. They checked trains and buses and provided us with maps and information to cross the border in a stressful time. They spoke English quite well which gave us peace of mind we could trust their understanding of our needs. So glad we booked with them. The room didn't have a surface to set our suitcase on.
the staff were very helpful, the location is excellent, the breakfast was good, the room was comfortable and clean
Near the bus stand, easy to find. Nice hotel staffs n knows the ins n out of the city. No Internet connection in room. No kettle in room.
The friendly and helpful staff and the clean environment was a big plus. Lack of service with luggage resulted in my husband injuring his foot with the heavy trolley. There should be some help with luggage, if necessary.
Location excellent with great value for money. Staff very helpful. Just situation outside the old town area with very pleasant and interesting walks. Wifi was a challenge with no access in rooms, however public access points reliable.
Location; cleanliness. Very comfortable
The quality of service at the front desk was outstanding, the rooms were modern and very clean, and breakfast was great!
The location, the people and the overall atmosphere for the price was great.
location and helpfull staff room very small no air condition
The staffs were very friendly and helpful.
centrally located, very nice and helpful staff. Tour companies come to hotel and transport to the tours. Good breakfast too. all rooms are non smoking and no provisions made for smokers.
comfortable beds,clean room, good service. hotel on good transport routes across the city. also within walking distance of most sights. we felt the breakfast was rather poor for this class hotel.
Very well located for station and only 15 minute walk from old town.Staff very friendly and helpful.9 Out of 10 overall. No
It was great! Amazing Incredible location, just walk outside the train station and there it is in the middle of a "platz", it's brand new hotel with modern confortable rooms and the rate was alzo amazing (very low for such a nice hotel).
Ramada is very close to the Main Station, which helps considerably. It is a modern, needbased hotel. Breakfast spread is very good. They do not serve Lunch or Dinner.
Excellent! The slight problems with hotel staff encountered the last time were addressed. Great stay. Nothing at this point.
brand new, very clean and spotless, very helpful and friendly staff a bit overpriced considering that quite rough area (Salzburg train station square), breakfast is not included and cost a fortune (14 euro), you can actually dine for that money in Salzburg!
The location is very convenient. Mr Hofer, the man who works in the evening, was disguntingly rude. It is amazing to stay in a place where you have to pay for the services which is normal, but on top of it you're paying for the pleasure of being treated like dirt by this unhappy worker. Awful!
great location
The hotel is close to the train station.
The hotel was very clean and friendly. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice. Definately would stay again. Nothing I didn't like - it was a bit of a walk into the centre of Salzburg but very handy for the airport bus and we were able to check in very early which was great.
Close to train station Wifi signal was weak
The hotel and breakfast was very nice. I didn't like the location of the hotel and the elevators were very slow and crowded.
Nice Room. Friendly staff. Good location. Overall a pleasant experience.
the location and the rooms
Hotel was located in close proximity to city centre- a 10 minute walk. The room felt like home. Beds were a bit too soft and one of the pillows was too firm.
Service was great, and very good bed Very expensive Internet
Quietness Too small bathroom (the door opens in an awkard direction).
The hotel rooms are old and literally have baseboards peeling off the wall. The toilet is tiny and there's barely any elbow space in the entire restroom. There was dust all over the furniture and stains on the towels. The elevators on our floor did not even work. This is falsely advertised as a 4-hotel but is outdated and horrible quality for the money.
location, staff, cleanliness parking place was a bitt too far away
The staff was great: very helpful, professional and nice It is not entirely a 4 star hotel
Location-close to the mirabell castle.this hotel seemed to be enveriomentally friendly Authorazation of credit cards several times.the .recepcionists unpolite behavior till now(3 weeks) I did not get back my secondly authorized amount of money for the room.
The location is excellent - not far from the old city and near the famous gardens. Ive stayed here before and enjoyed staying again second time around. Nothing - it was just what we needed
Nice rooms, well priced, easy access to city centre, away from the madding crowds Most expensive internet access in all the hotels I stayed in so far. E 20+/day!
Very short walk to the city center, very convenient! Also reasonable parking in a garage.
This hotel is excellent from reception check-in to check-out. The staff were superb couldn't do more for you even if they tried. The breakfast room and selection of food was perfect. Our room was like a home from home. We will stay here again.
1) Spacious and bright rooms 2) Excellent service and breakfast 3) Courteous staff, especially there was a gentleman on the reception in the early hours of the morning, we arrived by train from venice and when our room was not yet ready he gave us a very good reception and service with a smile 1) More english channels required on tv 2) Should start having 24 hours room service as everything around salzburg closes at 6pm
Great location. And the sauna-relaxing. Great service.
Great location near the center (5 minutes walk) and not far from the train station (10 minutes wallk), nice cozy atmosphere in the hotel, clean and fairly comfortable room, very fine breakfast, friendly and helpfull staff. We really enjoyed are stay there, very good value for money. Highly recommandable, Somebody could find street noise a bit too loud.
Breakfast was good. It was very nice to have a programme/update for concerts, weather etc. for the day in the restaurant at each table. hotel doesn't have an airconditioning which might be a problem in the summer months however for the period of my stay using of fan was OK. The shower tube is really small. Use of internet is a bit overpriced.
asked for a quiet room which was perfect. Location was great for the bus stop to airport and also for the old town, both about an easy 10 min work
Easy to find and quite central Efficient staff Good sized rooms Reasonable value for overnight stop Smoke is the biggest problem with this hotel. It permeates throughout the hotel bedroom corridors and into some bedrooms. Noisy traffic if windows open. Beds thought uncomfortable by some of my friends
The hotel is well located, only a few minutes walking from a pedestrian area, and about 10/15 min from de old town. The people are nice and well informed about visits, concerts, points of interest, etc. The breakfast is simple but good. The rooms need a remodelation, mainly the bathrooms. The curtains doesn't isolate the sun, so when the sun rises it's almost impossible to sleep.
Was well priced, a short walk from all the sites in Salzburg. Modern and well kept. Electricity to each room only turns on when your room key is in it, which can be tedious especially when charging devices. Breakfast was not included and would have cost €10 otherwise.
Receptionists very helpfu1l
Warm, homely ambience and excellently kept. I have been staying at your hotel for the past 5 years and the overall upgrade is excellent. No negatives to report.
The room was beautiful, the location was fantastic and the hotel staff was very nice. We would stay there again!
The hotel offers fantastic rooms and is located next to all the tourist places. There is no parking lot nearby and the hotel doesn't have its own parking garage. The closest parking lot is 5 min walk from the hotel which is quite uncomfortable.
It was amazing vacation in ancient and splendid Altstadt with luxurious service! Our gratitude to this hotel! Special thanks to Fabian Haberle!
Great Position Breakfast a bit expensive
the location poor rooms, no air conditioning, old building, smelly and noisy neighbor .
Welcome, level of comfort and service were excellent. Position in town centre could not be bettered.
Excellent service and cleanliness and proximity to city centre - out of back door of hotel into main street, yet hotel quiet. Parking - very very difficult to get parking and Hotel not easy to locate because bus lane outside - buses often blocking hotel as one drives past.
Fabulous location and great service from the staff. Unfortunately our sleep was spoiled by the Irish Pub down the street being open late and very noisy patrons echoing despite closed windows until 4am.
the site, the staff my daughter had an extrabed which was awful (the worst bed I have ever seen)
Everything except below. The selection of food in the restaurant and the attitude of the restaurant were poor.
Great hotel, friendly staff, very good breakfast, great location
The room was very nice but we paid good money for it. Very good breakfast. 10 minutes walking distance to city sight seeing. 15 minutes from train station. And car rentals. Even though had a air conditioning, the room intended to get hot at some time.
Close to Railway Station and Town. we went on many rail trips The Resturant was closed but we were not informed until we looked for it in the evening. The beer kellar was promoted but was noisy and far too much tobacco smoke
clean, comfortable, everything was excellent, it is the best hotel of four hotels i have been in it would be better if the breakfast was included with the rate of room i have payed
Good location, very nice staff, the sauna/spa downstairs was also very comfortable. Good buffet breakfast.
location, room size, helpful staff
the rooms were beautifully decorated the location was not as central as I would have liked
not too far from center the restaurant "Pitter keller"
It was at a very good location,had private parking very close to the hotel, and the facilities. My husband enjoyed the Spa. The water temperature was not good. Sometimes it gets cold in the middle of the shower.
Very nice 2 Twin bed suite. Close to Gardens Under reconstruction. Breakfast was crowded at times with tour buses
We got in early, at 11am, and they let us check in and the room was ready. no
Ability to have a wheelchair available...it was a life saver for a guest that ended up not being able to walk around once we got into the city I asked for follow-up and a question on my reservation 3 times to 'email@example.com' with the hotel and my inquiries were never answered.
The staff were very courteous and spoke numerous languages so it made communications easy. Also, they were very discreet and extremely helpful with any issues and questions about the surrounding areas. The view from my room were spectacular!!! Quiet, romantic, and close to downtown historical Salzburg. Nothing were wrong.
Mr. Reinhold helped us get amazing ticket to the symphony the day of the show. He was thoughtful in organizing a private tour and directing us around the city so that we didn't waste time or miss the hidden gems. Truly exceptional service!
kitchen, interior design, service, clearness
The Hotel Sacher was a charming hotel with an interesting history. We did lots of walking and It was conveniently located to shopping, site seeing and restaurants. The staff was great and very helpful during our stay. In the evenings we enjoyed having cocktails in the bar while listening to pianist play. The Hotel Sacher is a great place to stay!!
The location and the friendliness of the hotel staff. The rooms were quite dusty and old. In fact, we came to know (from the management) that only some rooms were renovated and not all unlike what was stated in the booking.com website. On the other hand, the breakfast buffet wasn't really a 5-star hotel standard.
Wonderful vue, large room with a pleasant balcony, very kind and attentive staff, good restaurant. One of the best hotel I've ever stayed
Hotel is conveniently located for festival goers. Facility is old and room small.
always available, always ready to assist rooms are small and it is always a fight to get a room with a view
Please write at least 15 words
Sacher Hotel, location is perfect for touring Altstadt Salzburg. Junior suite was impeccable, and well furnished, entire staff most friendly and helpful, and service worthy of a five star boutique hotel. Absolutely, nothing.
The ambiance and the location The old bathroom, quite unconfortable
The service Incredibly small rooms
Location was a important factor. Love the decor too!
It starts with the concierge taking care of your car and luggage, the girl at the reception brings you to your room and gives you info about city and map before you can ask, really very good service. Beds are very comfortable and the room was in authentic style which fits with the rest of the hotel
Friendly staff, excellent location, comfortable rooms it didn't have a spa. the furniture was a bit worn
Old world charm, historic building, beautifully maintained, elegant, extremely delightful staff, wonderful restaurant, terrific bathrooms. Absolutely nothing to dislike about this lovely hotel.
Business trip to Munich
Wonderful sevice. Beautiful room. Excellent location. One of best hotels I have ever stayed in.
Good location. Toilet is immaculate. Single room is small
location near the center
Everything, staff were so welcoming and made us feel special and individual which was much appreciated as this was our honeymoon. Yes - it was extremely smoky and very warm
The service was impeccable and the room was spacious
Friendly Staff. Location. Sound proofing was excellent. i say this because the hotel is on a main road and overlooks a railway bridge and no sound really came into the room.
It was near the train station and close to the bus stop. The pillows smelled like perspiration. It was awful!
Location to everything was great. The food and service in the restaurant was good too.
I really enjoyed the breakfast and the location was excellent. The stricktly non-smoking room, while on the same floor I think there were some smoking rooms.
The room was dark and dingy on the basement floor. My room was off a dark hall that had a door that opened directly to the street and was insecure. The hall was very noisy with the sounds from the street. The room had a overwhelming musty smell. The staff was not helpful with my concerns about the room stating that there was nothing they could do because they were full.
The location of the hotel was great. It was near the Central railway station which services local and International travel. Breakfast was good.
Within walking distance of the main sites... Nice bar that is open till 12.. Great breakfast.. Plenty of parking!!
The hotel is in a convenient location near the train station and the Mirabell park. Also, the staff was courteous and the breakfast was very good. There is also a computer with free internet in the lobby, which is always a plus. We booked a 4 person room but it was really just a large room with a pull-out couch that was very uncomfortable, as they normally are. The room was quite drab with nothing on the walls. Also the shower head was not functioning. We sort of got the impression that this 4 person room is not booked very often and the hotel treated it as such.
I liked how the front desk signed us up for a particular tour.
The breakfast buffet was amazing. The location was close to the train station and Mirrabel Platz.
Very very professional staff. Excellent all round the house Wouldnt have a single complaint to make
location in city centre, value for money, cleanliness of room staff was friendly but not very effective. there was a queue at the checkout, which prompted me to leave without getting a receipt, whcih I had to request by phone after the stay
Excellent location
The staff in the Sheraton Hotel were excelent. They all had excellent English and knowledge of the area which made our stay more enjoyable and memorable. Only fault I had was I thought I had booked a Double room however when we got to the room It was a Twin. Would advise people to ensure on Check in the room u get is what u booked.
Great location, quiet and relaxing. Room was very nice and did get an upgrade as it was my birthday. My girlfriend contacted the hotel in advance of our stay to organise a surprise cake and bubbly on arrival as a surprise. The hotel forgot this and she was really upset as she had to speak to the hotel and then the receptionist did not even apologise despite acknowledging it was their mistake. Despite cancelling it - the cake and bubbly was there when we returned to our room, but warm and by then we didn't want it - we were still charged for it!! This did take the edge off our stay unfortunately.
Central to old town, and staff were very friendly and helpful
The hotel staff were extremely professional and very helpful. The rooms were fabulous. We enjoyed our stay very much and would return again. no complaints at all. Everything was wonderful
The 'creature comforts' make all the difference, but a hotel is nothing without it's staff and in this case they were fantastic. That there was not a No Smoking area in the main communal areas.
Bistro Bar Unfortunatly just a little quiet.But we assumed that it was because its out of the main season.Prehaps you could offer special return deals to anyone who has used the hotel for holiday breaks
Centrally Located close to Old Town and Railway Station
Very, very friendly, informative and helpful staff throughout the hotel. From check-in, at the restaurants, the Concierge - their friendly, helpful attitudes will bring me back.
great location, friendly staff and clean room the romantic suite is a bit, well lets say, strange decorated ...
central location- good breakfast, comfortable room, well fitted. the weather was not hot, but I imagine the room would be in hot weather. Inevitably with a central city location, early morning noise- no air conditioning, so need to keep the windows open
Excellent rooms for a very good price - large, elegant and comfortable. Phenomenal included breakfast and friendly, responsive staff. Easy walking distance to the old city; located on a quiet pedestrian street. No complaints
The location of the hotel. Also the breakfast was very rich. They did not mention about the Annex building. Another disadvantage was the lack of lift in the building.
The location was perfect for getting into the city centre and it was easliy reached from the train station. The friendliness of the staff and the extras like the spa swimming pool etc was most appreciated. It was the smallest shower that I have had in two months in Europe.
Good location, very good breakfast! The garage for the car a bit far from the hotel, the general looks of the hotel: it needs to be refurbished! Highly over rated! The single room was almost impossible..it felt like you were in a basement!
The staff and spa Rooms a little austere and as mentioned above, the hotel has two buildings opposite each other and we were not in the main building.
Great location within easy walk of the city center. The spa facilities were nice. Great modern bathroom & lots of storage. Couch used for extra bed was uncomfortably hard. No restaurant in the hotel itself, but many close by.
Swimming pool. Afternoon tea. No doors on showers by swimming pool. Too hot at night.
Excellent location, friendly staff, nice "room" ("split" into 2 floors). Bed/Couch in a living room is not very comfortable for sleeping was not in a very good shape therefore I felt pain in my back in the morning.
Hotel Goldener Hirsch had all the promised alpine charm of a 700-year old hotel. The decor was quaint and we received a free two-level upgrade on our room. Very spacious as a result. Staff was remarkably courteous. A bit expensive for the included amenities, and the old world charm means some amenities are missing or outdated.
This is a fantastic hotel! If you like antiques in your room and helpful staff attentiveness, this is the place to stay. The restraint is fantastic. Don't go to it if you want new fusion type food. The menu is very traditional. Each meal was prepared as if your Gran muter was in the kitchen herself. ( I don't know the German word for grand mother, I'm just guessing.) My wife couldn't have been happier with the stay. Comforters- I tend to be a little warm. The big down comforters were a little to warm for me.
Wonderful staff and perfect location The carpet, TV stand, small sofa and small table and chairs felt a bit cheap and out of place with the rest of the hotel
Outstanding hotel - staff were efficient and friendly as well as thoughtful. Room was full of character and exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere of the 600 year old hotel was fascinating. We ate room service food which was excellent - we were able to pick locally popular dishes as well as the usual chioces on Hotel Room Service menus. Parking was not convenient by the hotel, but the hotel took care of it all with free valet parking, so this was not a major issue.
Excellent location,very professional and helpful staff.I also liked the rustique room not lacking modern amenities.I would advise more English TV programs.
Great location - easy to walk to everything.
The location is excellent, very central. The hotel is located on commercial street of the city, an area with restricted car access. Consequently, I lost at least 30 minutes trying to identify the address where I could not reach by car. Finally I called the hotel and they indicate me a different address for car navigation and so I got behind the hotel. Then I realized that the hotel has no parking and I was sent to a public parking (relatively close to ~ 200 meters). A very unpleasant experience, amplified by the fact that rain in that day and walk with luggage from the public parking to the hotel it was not the favorite part of a holliday day.
Mixture between traditional austrian style and luxury Nothing to complain
Restaurant was good but too pricy. For the rest, excellent stay!
charming small hotel in centre of town very noisy at night
The location of the hotel. We enjoyed staying in the 'old' part of Salzburg.
The staff was very friendly. The hotel is on a cute street in Salzburg, very close to shops, restaurants, and tourist sites. We would definitely stay here again!
We have many many nice things to say about the Achat Plaza....Good location between train station and old town.....spacious room.....very modern bathroom.....air conditioning (every day we were there was over 90F)...good selection at breakfast.....very helpful staff.....free bottle of water at welcome.....free wifi.....excellent restaurant for dinner......nice lounge area with comfy furniture.....easy access to the bus lines.....nice exercise/sauna room on top floor (didn't actually use it- all of Salzburg was a sauna while we were there)......very nice running route if you're a runner, through a beautiful park and back along a pedestrian walkway by the river.... No complaints at all- the Achat was really a wonderful place to stay and we highly recommend it. It was obvious that this is a well cared for hotel that values the comfort of its guests.
Great room. Great Breakfast
The hotel was located within walking distance of bus routes. We had problems with stairs to access our room which is not helpful to an elderly person who uses a cane. The restaurant was smokey;the food was good.Our bed fell apart ......
comfort of the bed
Quiet and clear room,but pricey.Breakfast is poor for12euro. The receptionist in the evening was not welcoming at our arrival,he seemed hired from street by the hotel,not plite.we booked 2 superior double room,one room with free coffee and tea and with a kettle,the other room with nothing,I have go downstairs to ask for the kettle.The next day there was still no coffee and tea.In spa area,no spa at all,only sauna,and I can not call the palce for children a play ground,there was really nothing,so they are just misleading.Highly not recommed,for sure will not stay there again.
A good hotel. Good size rooms and excellent shower. Close to train station and easy walk to old town.
It was a very nice hotel right next to the train station and within walking distance to everything!
Some bathrooms have leaking problems. My brother's room had some yellow liquid leaked into his bath. It was really disgusting.
we stayed for one night. everythink was ok.
The warm hospitality shown both by the reception staff and the Breakfast Room. The House Keeping was meticulously done. The inputs/suggestions given by the reception staff was very useful in making our stay a pleasant one at Salzburg.
Rooms were comfortable - beds were very comfortable. The shower & toilet facilities were in the room but separated by a door, improving noise reduction. Breakfast was typical European, but a wide selection & generous. It's fairly close to old town Salzburg, walkable but a stretch with smaller children; the hotel is close to bus lines, though. Traveling with a family of 6 - 3 adults and 3 children - caused us to be creative with our sleeping arrangements, even with triple rooms. The staff very thoughtfully put us next to one another, though, which made it much easier.
relaxed and very comfortable
The front desk staff were very helpful. Breakfast was very good. The room seemed a little tired.
Free fruit juice Description of location - NOT at address stated!
Very nice room, excellent breakfast, ... 10/10
It was great. Easy to get to and right beside the old part of Salzburg. Perfect location. We traveled with a 10 month old and a 2 year old. The staff was great with the children and met our needs as soon as we asked. They even recommended great places to have dinner.
Breakfast was excellent. Electric receptacles were worn-out. Had to hold plug into wall for shaver and/or curling iron.
Amazing last floor room, like a suit. Really central
Nice staff It's more like a 2 stars hotel. The furniture is 20 years old. The rooms are not soundproof at all, we could hear people talking in the next rooms as if they were near our bed. The towels were with stains and hair.
Good location and friendly reception. Free tea, coffee and soft drinks available in lobby. Clean rooms and a reasonable variety on offer at breakfast. No bar in the hotel which I would have expected for this level of hotel. The decor was tired in the rooms and needed a refresh. Minibar not restocked the following day
No air conditioning
the location was good. close to everything salzberg has to offer. One negative is the church bell rings in the middle of the night.
Location was great and the hotel staff were very helpful.
Very good situation, car parking carage (public) near the hotel, good breakfast, clean and confortable room.
The room was beautiful and had an amazing view of Salzburg which was not that obvious to us from the description of the hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful but not overbearing or snobby like in some other higher end hotels. Their restaurant was very good as well.
Very charming place, full of character and atmosphere, ideal for a romantic getaway.
The staff was very welcoming and friendly Room service offered a very limited menu.
I liked the friendliness and politeness of the staff , the location, service and lovely room. No
the totalle awesome restaurant
Amazing Service and a Really Nice Room Nothing
The hotel was fantastic. Couldn't have asked for any better. Great staff, beautiful hotel, excellent location. Highly recommended.
perfect location, excellent staff
Hotel was nice and beautiful. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was better than what I expected. You can order eggs, sausages, bacon, as you want. Very quiet surroundings, peaceful atomaspher. Room is very small. I expected a nice view from the room, so I was very disappointed. Dinner at the restaurant in this hotel, we had some wrong plate from what we ordered.(It was special dinner for us, so we were disappointed again) If I visit Salzbrug again, I prefer Hotel sacher.
Very accommodating and friendly staff. Good commend of the English language (among others). Fantastic location that offered a panoramic view of Salzburg. Closeness to elevators that would take you right into the middle of the Old Town Cannot really think of anything, with the exception for an uncaulked crack under a bathroom mirror... :)
Friendly staff, comfortable modern hotel, easily reachable and indoor parking. Pool is also fun! Neighbourhood is not the best (near station) and can be bit noisy at night. Hotel room was hot and dry for reason we don't understand
Typical US style business hotel that did all the basics very well. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide variety of foods. Room service comes with a flat €10 service charge. I ordered a burger which with bacon despite the menu not making any mention of bacon being included.
You have to appreciate the location in front of City Park and St. Stephen area winthin 10 minutes walking distance. No.2 and U3 metro is very convenient to connct to any popular spots in the city.
Very close (3 min) of railway station; 20 min walking to centre(old town). Large room, nice design and clean. Everything was perfect (except that we went to the pool in the evening,at 9 pm,and one window was open and cold inside). Nice pool+sauna. Polite and smiley reception staff. Overall, excellent. It would be very nice to have coffee/tea facilities in the room.
Location good recommended an excellent restaurant seven miniutes walk from Hotel car park location excellent with lift up to your floor Booked accomodation with Breakfast to be told I had not. I told them I always booked hotels with Booking.com and never had a problem before.
I like every things in hotel except baggage porter who ask me to give him money 2 Euro for each baggage. I don't like baggage porter .
The breakfast buffet was by far the best we've seen on our trip so far. Lots of variety of hot and fresh foods. The location was also great being next to the train station. The bed and pillows weren't super comfy, but alright for one night.
Hotel staff was very helpful and all spoke English very well. Hotel was clean, it is more a business class or conference center hotel, but as tourists, we always felt welcome. Breakfast buffet was very good, but they ran out of some items one morning and they were not replenished. Room was clean, not much outside noise at night. Five minutes' walk to railway station. Area around the hotel and nearby railway station seemed questionable at night, but we walked quickly and didn't encounter any problems.
near to main railway station
The hotel is a good value for money, provided you get a special offer rate. You get the usual size room, comfortable beds, large-ish tv, I.e all the usual things you would expect from Radisson chain. The service quality is very average - I was shocked to be told by reception to come downstairs to give in my dry cleaning as they "didn't have enough stuff available" to come and pick it up. The rooms were not cleaned properly, when we checked in we had to ask for bathroom to be re cleaned. We asked for a quiet room, only to be told that it was not available. However it did become available after some arguing.
nice location near train station , good breakfast, room was more comfortable nice for big family nothing
The WiFi service which is stated as free on Booking.com was not free.
great staff no air conditioner but they did provide fans
great location and hotel staff was nice! no
All aspects excellent
It was comfortable and convenient but in need of a makeover. We felt it merited three stars rather than four. There were no easy chairs in the bedroom.
excellent location, excellent hotel staff', good breakfast, comfortable rooms
Its location to the center of the city was what we were looking for and the support of the staff was excellent
Lovely atmosphere. Very Clean . Staff very helpful Would like tea/coffee facilities in room. Rooms small but fine for short stay.
Location, service, breakfast selection and quality. Lack of tea and coffee making facilities in the room
We were impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and the quality of the breakfasts. Also it is in a very good location for what we wanted to do (i.e. visit the Chrismas Markets etc.). The mini bar prices were a bit on the high side!! We do not think it is really a 'four star' rated hotel although we had no complaints about our stay.
Pretty much everything. Breakfast was good, with a lot of variety all in a beautifully decorated breakfast room. Nope. The tv was really small, but we didn't use it anyway so no complaints here.
The room was warm and cosy. The dining room has a very pleasant ambience. The breakfast was wonderful, and the staff were very, very warm and helpful.
Great service
welcoming and friendly with very good breakfast
The style of the hotel is clean and minimal but with touches of Austrian luxury and design. Though our bathroom was tight, the fixtures were high quality. We appreciated the free wi-fi, the well-stocked mini-bar, the extremely helpful desk and bar... oh and the breakfast buffet was lovely with fresh juices and the full array of goodies. Big thumbs up. The street in front of the hotel is traffic busy, obviously a city hotel can't help that, but a short walk around the block brings you to a pedestrian area and only 10 minutes from the old town center.
Best Hotel that I have stayed in Europe for ever. It is good value for money. Very helpful staff, good sauna facility even with fruits and teas there! excellent DVD players and free DVD anmation titles for Kids !
The staff were very friendly and helpful, without being obsequious.
Accomodating, warm, gracious staff
Roof top sauna a pleasure. Along with the tasteful breakfast, peaceful garden and location to the center.
The location was excellent, room was nice and comfortable, good parking and free mini bar in the hall was brilliant! Pillows were horrendous!!!!
Very comfortable and close to town. Room was clean, staff was very friendly. Will stay here on my next visit to Salzburg. Nothing.

The guys who are coming in will be on peanuts probably and 1 fight deals and will be used to go up against others who's UFC careers are on the line, then it will be 1 in 1 out with those guys and an overall cut of guys that are similar to Fitch. He must have got paid real well from the UFC.
I bet he was offered reduced terms on his contract and declined, like a 50% reduction as they are probably looking across all areas and trying to make cuts in certain areas
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
whats crazy is Leonard Garcia is still in the UFC with 4 straight losses. Granted one was a FOTN, but still......
UFC want entertainment. Only Lay and Pray if you are going to win
''All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice''
Thing is, the UFC don't want someone like Garcia going to another org as he will put bums on seats as everyone knows he is exciting, Fitch gets paid top dollar and rarely delivers excitement, plus he can knock off contenders which doesnt benefit the UFC. It sucks because yes he is a top fighter and they shouldn't ever be penalised for being boring, but Fitch is easily the biggest example of that. I would be interested to know if they offered him a lesser deal though, but you also have to ask, who else would ever pay Fitch the kind of money he earnt in the UFC - he won't sell PPV and doesn't put bums on seats outside of the hardcore - I would bet Garcia is more of a money generator than Fitch sadly.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
right, i will try to find out the released payroll figures for the last few Fitch fights - ha, I'm guessing he wasn't paid a huge amount of under the table money. brb
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Vs Hendricks he got $60,000
Vs Thiago Alves he got $56,000
Vs Penn and Silva I don't know but thats what he got within his last 5 outings.
He has no where else to turn though so if Bellator offered him $30,000 I'd expect him to have to take it.
last time he finished someone - 2007. since then, 8 decision wins, 2 decision losses, KTFO by Hendricks and draw with 'Motivated' Penn.
UFC 156 vs Maia - 66k
UFC 153 - Erik Silva - $190,000 ($60,000 to show, $60,000 win bonus, $70,000 Fight of the Night bonus)
UFC 141 vs Hendrinks (ouch) $60,000
UFC 127 BJ Penn - 60K
UFC 117 vs Alves $108,000 (includes $54,000 win bonus)
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
haha ah man, fuck this, I'm going outside
*walks off in a huff*
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Doubled when he got a win I presume? -EDIT ah didnt see your second post inc win bonus's...
Granted its not massive money but if doubled with a win, over a 100k per fight - thats the same salary as probably 5 kids off TUF including win bonus's, Fitch will never earn them revenue so they probably cut their losses on someone can knock off challengers - they cant just feed him cans and pay him 100k a pop, so they would have to match him up with contenders, which if he beats them, knackers them pushing the new dudes up the ladder, they dont want Fitch in a title shot again I imagine either, sucks in all fairness but sadly I understand it, not sure I agree with it but...if canning Fitch had meant it bought the likes of Sass, Etim etc more time, I would have been all for it, lets just hope his sacrifice has given a couple of dudes at least one more run out....

5 Reasons Why Extending Unemployment Insurance Is Good for the Economy
Reposted from the AFL-CIO NOW Blog
Part of the so-called "fiscal cliff" agreement included extending federal unemployment insurance (UI) for workers who have been jobless for more than 26 weeks.
The National Employment Law Project (NELP) details five ways extending UI benefits the economy.
Reauthorizing the Emergency Employment Compensation (EUC) program will:
1. Provide unemployment insurance for more than 2 million unemployed workers hunting for a new job and another 1 million in the first quarter of 2013. Jobless workers who receive unemployment insurance are more likely to be proactive in seeking work than those who do not receive it, devoting more hours to the job search.
2. Pump up to $30 billion into the national economy in 2013 and up to twice that in resultant economic activity. Unemployment insurance offers tremendous "bang for the buck" to the economy: every $1 the government spends on it creates $1.61 to $2 in economic stimulus—money that saves and creates jobs in communities across the country.
3. Reduce economic hardship. In 2011, unemployment insurance kept 2.3 million unemployed workers and their families out of poverty.
4. Help more workers stay attached to the labor market long enough to find employment with wages that they and their families can rely upon to live.
5. Deliver particularly crucial aid to African American and Latino workers, who continue to experience unemployment rates much higher than the rest of the workforce and older workers, who are disproportionately represented among the long-term unemployed.

High School Cheerleader Used Teammate As A Prostitute
An 18-year-old Hopkins High School senior cheerleader allegedly used her sophomore teammate as a prostitute, according to a criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County.
Montia Marie Parker, 18, of Maple Grove was arrested on one count of second-degree felony sex trafficking, and one count of felony solicitation, inducement and promotion of prostitution.
Parker is accused of soliciting her Hopkins classmate on backpage.com, taking her out of school and driving the victim to various locations to sell her oral sex services, and the complaint states Parker never shared the cash that the victim earned.

Rochas Spring 2013
"Youth, simplicity, and romance!" said Marco Zanini backstage at his light-as-air Rochas show.
After four years at the design helm, Zanini wanted to address his vision of the Rochas woman—"a hopeless romantic who is not just sugary and sweet, she's also powerful and strong"—and to riff on some of the signature silhouettes he has developed for the house, from a bias slither of a lingerie-inspired slip dress, to a dance frock with an acreage of bouffant skirts.
Zanini described it as "a labor of love in an optimistic spirit" and there was certainly a giddily upbeat quality to the collection, with the emphasis on classically feminine silhouettes in a cloudy-dawn palette of silvery gray, rose-mauve, and chalk, breaking into currant, chocolate and garnet.
There was an elegant modernity to the mix of classics with a fifties flavor—pencil skirts in stretch satin, sun shirts cropped to reveal the midriff, structured brassiere tops and girdles, and those full-skirted frocks—paired with classic polo shirts, and clinging, short-sleeved turtleneck knits. Down-to-earth wrestling boots in gleaming white kid leather, and clean-lined, unembellished purses updated the nostalgia.
Zanini reworked those polo-shirt shapes as tunics or abbreviated little dresses in luxe fabrications including chalk white or a vivid magenta-pink silk faille. His "joy of opulence" also expressed itself in the immensity of fabric—including Bucol's magnificent lustrous satin, warp-printed with a design of ruby-red chrysanthemums—used for clothes that seem to invite the wearer to swish a sunray-pleated skirt, or drape a double-faced satin stole or a full evening coat, with the gesture of a worldly mannequin in a mid-century Irving Penn photograph. But Zanini's clean lines and fresh spirit bring that platinum print effortlessly into the iPhoto age.

5 Huge Stocks to Trade for Gains - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Don't stress out about your portfolio just yet -- this isn't as exciting a week for stocks as all of the Cyprus and Fed news would have you believe.
In fact, the S&P 500 is currently staging the most tepid correction it's seen since November, drooping lower in three sessions before getting scooped back up by eager equity buyers. While this latest short-term correction isn't over until the big index shoves its way above 1,563, we're hardly on the edge of the precipice and looking down. The broad market's rally is still looking extremely orderly right now, and this week's price action is a necessary step to keep the rally rolling on.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy as Stocks Drop
While the price action in the S&P 500 isn't exactly nail-biting, there are some more exciting setups shaping up in its constituent stocks -- so that's what we're focusing on today. As usual, we're taking a technical look at the price setups forming in five of the biggest names on Wall Street.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary.
>>5 Dow Dogs That Could Stomp the Market in 2013
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at the charts of five high-volume stocks to trade for gains.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
Up first is Diageo (DEO), a stock that I talked about in last week's column. Diageo has spent the last several months bouncing within an ascending triangle pattern, and now this week's confirmed breakout is making DEO worth a second look.
The ascending triangle pattern is a bullish setup that's formed by horizontal resistance above shares and uptrending support below shares. As DEO bounced within the channel, it was getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above that $120 resistance level. When the move finally happened, it triggered our buy signal in this stock.
>>5 Big Stocks to Trade (or Not)
Because Diageo had seen a false breakout earlier in the month, waiting for confirmation (in the form of holding the breakout for more than one trading session) was critical. Now looks like a good time to be a buyer in DEO. If you decide to jump in here, I'd still recommend keeping a a protective stop at the 50-day moving average.
China Telecom
$41 billion Chinese telco China Telecom (CHA) is the largest fixed-line operator in the People's Republic and one of the country's largest broadband and mobile service carriers. But that scale isn't sparing CHA from the bearish technical setup that's been forming in shares.
Right now, CHA is forming a descending triangle, the bearish counterpart to the ascending triangle pattern that's signaling a buy in Diageo right now. The descending triangle is formed by a horizontal support level that acts as a sort of floor for shares and a downtrending resistance level pushing lower overhead. The breakdown below support -- at $51 for CHA -- is the sell (or short) signal for shares.
>>5 Toxic Stocks to Sell in March
With any technical pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers -- not shapes. After all, triangles, head and shoulders patterns and the like are a good way of describing what's happening on a chart, but they're not the reason why it's tradable. Instead, that all comes down to the supply and demand caused by those buyers and sellers.
The horizontal support level at $51 is a place where a glut of buyers has been willing to step in and put a floor in the stock. The breakout means that increasingly eager sellers have absorbed all of the excess demand for shares sitting at that level -- and without that barrier in place, shares could drop much further than that. I wouldn't recommend owning CHA if $51 gets taken out.
Berkshire Hathaway
It's been a great year for shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B). Shares of the mammoth conglomerate have rallied more than 14% in 2013, besting the broad market by a wide margin. And now it looks like we're approaching a good buying opportunity for Warren Buffett's firm.
You don't need to be an expert technical analyst to see what's going on in Berkshire's chart. In fact, Buffett himself could probably figure it out. The $250 billion stock has been trading within an uptrending price channel since November's broad market bottom.
That price channel gives traders a high probability range for Berkshire's trading to remain within, a big advantage when trying to figure out what to do with this stock. The most important level to watch is trendline support; it's a level at which Berkshire has been able to consistently catch a bid. And now shares are testing that critical level once again.
When you're looking to buy a stock within a trend channel, buying after a bounce off of support makes sense for two big reasons: It's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). Wait for the bounce in Berkshire before you decide to put your money on this trade.
Chipotle Mexican Grill
We're seeing the exact same setup in shares of fast-casual Mexican restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG). Chipotle has climbed 30% since its own bottom in November, and like Berkshire, shares are testing an important support level this week.
One big difference in Chipotle's stock is the fact that it looks like this stock's price is actually bouncing off of support here. Yesterday's white candle didn't merely hug the trend line like Berkshire's did, and that's providing a buy signal.
If we see continuation in today's market session, I'd recommend putting on a position in this stock. The 50-day moving average has been a good proxy for support over the course of the pattern; that's where I'd recommend putting a protective stop on this trade.
Last, but certainly not least, is Apple (AAPL). The tech giant has been the stock everyone loves to hate in the last six months and change, but early signs show that the selloff could finally be coming to an end.
Apple's selling hasn't quite been the panicked frenzy to unload shares that many investors feel it has. Instead, the decline in Apple's share price has actually been pretty orderly. Shares have been held lower by a strong trend line resistance level since late September, but this week's breakout above resistance is signaling a change in trend.
Since the 50-day moving average has been a pretty good proxy for resistance since October, I'd still recommend waiting to see a move above the 50-day before putting cash back into this stock. The higher confirmation level will mean ceding a few points of possible gains, but it'll also dramatically reduce the risks of getting caught in a bull trap. Momentum, measured by 14-day RSI, is adding some extra confidence to a bullish signal in AAPL -- it broke its own long-term downtrend last week.
If you're looking for a bargain entry in Apple, a move through the 50-day is a reasonable way to get in with minimized risk. Just be sure to keep a tight stop in place if you don't want to own shares longer-term.

A new perspective on the JFK assassination.
Written and directed by noted journalist Peter Landesman (his directorial debut), with a fantastic ensemble performance, this film looks at the assassination of President John F. Kennedy from ground zero, from the perspective of the people whose lives were changed by the events of the day. Becausde they were there. ParkIand is the name of the teaching hospital where both JFK and his accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald were pronounced dead.
This is NOT a movie that draw any conclusions on the who/what/whys of the murder that shattered a nation. It's the story of the young doctors and nurses who tended to the dying President , the people around JFK that day, Abraham Zapruder (who shot the famous homemade film of the entire event) , The Oswald family and the local Fbi office, which had been in contact with Oswald before the day that changed the nation.
It's a perspective not seen before. It's fact-based. The director tells me no one can argue with any of the facts in his film. You'll learn a few new things. Mostly, this raises more questions than answers but gives an insight into what it was like for everyday people to be involved in one of the most important and tragic moments of our history.
Zac Efron just astounds as the young e.r. doctor who tended to both JFK and then, days later, his accused killer Lee Harvey Oswald. Paul Giamatti is spot on as the conflicted Zapruder. All of the performances , big or small, are stellar, including Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, Billy Bob Thornton, Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver, Oscar nominee Jackie Earl Haley, Mark Duplass, Colin Hanks and Ron Livingston.
Kudos too to the attention to detail because this is also a period piece, 50 years later.
For those born after 1963, this is a must history lesson. Before our post-911 world, there was a post-1963 world.

I just recently ran into a new error that is confusing me quite a bit. I took a 3 week vacation and when I came back, I get this error, but ONLY on my local machine (never happened before I left). The code runs fine on the production box. Also, keep in mind that we do constant updates where I work, so that is what I am suspecting caused the problem. Here is the error:
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

System.Transaction should be part of .NET framework and it should be installed in the GAC. I suspect your update somehow removed it from the GAC.
Check to see if system.transaction is in the GAC.
Aug 14, 2007 12:11 PM|stupid|LINK
Ok, I do see:
System.Transactions Version 220.127.116.11
Is that the one I need? Or is there a seperate one called 'System.Transaction' with no S?
Also, what is the GAC and how would I go about reinstalling it?
Thanks for trying to help!

GAC reinstallation - use "gacutil.exe assemblypath -i", from your vs.net command prompt

Ok, I tried typing in: 'gacutil.exe c:\windows\assembly -i' into my VS2005 prompt, turns out that wasn't the correct syntax. THen I figured out it was:
Gacutil /i assembly path [options]
So I tried: 'Gacutil /i C:\WINDOWS\assembly'
And that didn't work, so I tried 'Gacutil /i C:\WINDOWS\assembly /f' to force it and that gave me the same error which is:
'Failure adding assembly to the cache: The Filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.'
Now that is exactly the path I find my assemblies at now, what could be the problem, or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks again everyone.
Ok, figured out how to add it to my GAC, and that is still not it. (its 'gacutil -I "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Transactions.dll" from the regular prompt at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin)
Now it is either a 'dependancy' as the error states, or something completely different. Can I just puss an entire GAC assembly reinstall?
Aug 14, 2007 03:04 PM|stupid|LINK
WOOHOO! figured it out. After I reinstalled the 'System.Transactions' into my GAC, it didn't work, BUT - I forgot to restart VS, once I did... boom, it worked. Thank you ASP.net forums!!!
To install it into your GAC, simply navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin
in your command prompt (not the .NET on, the regular one) and type in:
gacutil -I "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Transactions.dll"
or change it to whatever .dll file you need installed

Nicki Minaj's advice for seducing a man
Listen to Nicki Minaj on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Rapper Nicki Minaj isn't involved in a romance … or is she?
In a new interview with Marie Claire, in which Twitter fans ask the questions, the "Pink Friday" singer is cryptic when one of her fans — or "Barbz," as she refers to them — inquires about her "secret man."
"Barbz, I officially hate you for doing this to this lady," Minaj says. "Dear Barbz: I don't have a man. And if he were a secret man, why would I reveal him?"
But while the 30-year-old insists she's not romantically attached to a guy, she's more than willing to dish out her tips on how to seduce one. Are you ready?
"Don't chase any man. Put your school first. Men love independent women," Minaj advises. "You don't have to be a bitch, but there's nothing wrong with it at times. And: Men are kids at heart. They want to be nourished and pet like a dog."
If the songstress seems tough, it's because she's had to be in the male-dominated genre of rap that she's chosen.
"In any industry, there's a double standard. The moment you mess up, it's over," she notes. "Your reputation spreads. No one takes you seriously. A man could do whatever the hell he wants to do — beat people up, do drugs, cuss people out, sleep with 10,000 women a night — and be cool, be held in praise. It's almost like, being a woman, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't."

University holds first graduation for apprentices
American patriot Paul Revere. Founding father, inventor and statesman Benjamin Franklin. Writer Mark Twain.
While these men had different paths in life, each served an apprenticeship to learn a skill or trade that prepared them for jobs before they earned a place in history.
The University of South Carolina added 19 other names to the roster of the nation's great apprentices Wednesday (May 20) with its first graduation for employees in custodial and landscaping services.
The University of South Carolina Apprenticeship Program, under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Apprenticeship, was begun in 2006 to encourage "careers, not jobs," said Jim Demarest, director of the university's facility services.
"We are investing in our employees, and we are investing in our future," he said.
Beginning the apprenticeship program in landscaping was a matter of following the U.S. Department of Labor's guidelines. However, the university also wanted an apprenticeship program for custodial workers. The U.S. Department of Labor didn't offer a program in this field. The university worked with the department to develop the guidelines for custodial apprentices.
"It was time to change," Demarest said. "Custodial workers are required to do more than they were 20 or 30 years ago. Codes and technology have changed. This was a program that was needed."
Thus, the university became the first employer in the nation to have a federal registered apprenticeship program in custodial services and the first state agency to offer apprentice programs to employees.
Landscaping classes were held at Midlands Technical College. Classes for custodial workers were held at Carolina. The apprentices' training included 144 hours in the classroom and 2,000 hours in the field. Core curriculum included training for the apprentices to be the "best of the best" university employees and course work on ethics and image, energy conservation, sustainability, work rules and policies. Graduates earned a federal certificate of completion, a university certificate of completion and a journeyman's card certifying their skills.

|TechShop Partners with BMW Group and UnternehmerTUM – Center for Innovation and Business Creation at Technical University Munich
|Driving international expansion, TechShop, BMW Group and UnternehmerTUM team up to open new facility by 2015
MENLO PARK, Calif.
, October 29, 2013 --
TechShop, a membership-based, do-it-yourself (DIY) workshop and fabrication studio, announced it is partnering with BMW Group and UnternehmerTUM, the Centre for Innovation and Business Creation at Technical University Munich, to open the first TechShop facility in Europe. The new TechShop facility will expand UnternehmerTUM's Entrepreneurship Centre at the research campus in Garching, located just outside of Munich. Responding to the increasing demand for DIY maker spaces in Europe, TechShop Munich and future locations will fuel the growing maker movement on the continent.
"We're proud to be working with such respected names as BMW and UnternehmerTUM to bring TechShop to the people of Munich," said Mark Hatch, CEO of TechShop. "Our goal is to satisfy people's passion for engineering and making with the tools and resources they need, and we're excited to expand that mission to Europe."
The first TechShop in Europe will be a high-tech workshop infrastructure and will include a variety of machines, tools and software for prototype construction and small-series production. TechShop infrastructure and services will complement the existing entrepreneurship training, incubation and consulting activities of UnternehmerTUM within one building. On-site training and consulting services are a foundation of the TechShop model.
"BMW Group and UnternehmerTUM are partnering with TechShop to strengthen the local network of the city, universities, startups, companies and the local creative scene," said Paul Duggan, managing director of TechShop International. "Our aim is to reinforce Munich's position as an innovation center and high-tech city. BMW Group and UnternehmerTUM join existing TechShop partners that include Arizona State University, Autodesk, Intel Corp., General Electric and Ford."
TechShop continues to grow and open new locations in the U.S. It is currently following an aggressive timeline to build new facilities, with an opening in Chandler, Ariz. in November 2013 and another in Washington, D.C. (Arlington, Va.) in 2014. TechShop is targeting additional cities, with investment opportunities in Los Angeles; Chicago; Cedar Valley, Iowa; Boston; Baltimore; Grand Rapids, Mich., St. Louis; New York; Portland, Ore.; Seattle and more.
TechShop's positive impact on local communities is proven in the U.S. and it will bring that same model to future international locations to achieve similar results. At each of its six existing facilities, TechShop brings together and cultivates a highly creative, collaborative group of makers, tinkerers, students, academics and entrepreneurs who share ideas, create new products, businesses and jobs, and learn new skills.

For first time in a week, the Lakers hardly offered any late-game theatrics.
Kobe Bryant didn't offer any age-defying dunks. The Lakers didn't storm back from a double-digit deficit, either.
Instead the Lakers grinded out a 90-81 victory Sunday over the Chicago Bulls at Staples Center by simply playing together.
The Lakers (33-31) stayed above the .500 mark for two consecutive games for the first time all season. More importantly, they have a half-game lead over the Utah Jazz (32-31) for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Lakers also are only one game behind the Houston Rockets (34-30) for the seventh seed.
"Yippee," Bryant said with obvious sarcasm.
Still, there were plenty of signs that could make the Lakers feel good about themselves, even if it lacked the late-game euphoria shown in recent games.
Dwight Howard's impact went beyond his 16 points and 21 rebounds. He set screens that set up plenty of open looks for him and his teammates.
He also sank a series of hook shots in the lane and threw down a few lobs from Bryant.
"We want to win a championship," Howard said. "We are going to go out every night to put the effort into getting a championship."
For once, that effort didn't feature much of Bryant.
He had an uncharacteristic off night with 19 points on 7-of-16 shooting and committed two turnovers. That's a far cry from the 36 points he averaged in the previous five games. But it didn't matter. The Lakers featured five others in double figures, including Howard, Steve Nash (16 points), Metta World Peace (12) and Jodie Meeks (10).
"It gives me some much-needed rest," Bryant said. "I've been motoring pretty hard. It gave me some pretty fresh legs for the next one."
Nash stormed out of the third quarter posting 10 of his 16 points, including a series of fall-back jumpers and one three-pointer.
What happened?
"Vino," Nash joked, in reference to Bryant's new nickname. "I tried to be aggressive. For our team a lot of times we're going to space the floor and watch Kobe go to work. But we're capable of helping this team.
"Sometimes I have to get the ball, take shots and be aggressive so I can save his legs a little bit."
The Lakers also didn't allow any scoring outbursts, such as when they conceded 71 first-half points last week against Oklahoma City. World Peace played a large part in limiting forward Carlos Boozer to 12 points on 4-of-16 shooting. The Lakers played at a deliberate pace that more suits their aging personnel.
It also helped that Chicago only shot 37.1 percent from the field and the Bulls were without Derrick Rose (left knee), Taj Gibson (left knee), Richard Hamilton (lower back) and Kirk Hinrich (right foot).
Not everything remained pretty.
Howard still looked bad at the free-throw line (0 for 5) and even air-balled one of his attempts. World Peace also air-balled one of his six missed 3-pointers.
When Howard's fourth foul put him on the bench with 3:15 left in the third quarter, the Bulls scored six consecutive points to cut the Lakers' lead to 69-55.
But the Lakers looked too strong elsewhere, allowing them to walk off the court happy with the direction they're headed.
"True chemistry is built through adversity," Bryant said. "It's a tough one because it can cut either way. It seems to have brought us together."

Ship Weight:0.30 Logona Flame Red 100% Botanical Herbal Hair Color For Light Blonde to Brown Hair - 3.5 oz. (100g) Logona's Flame Red 100% Botanical Herbal Hair Color is especially gentle to your hair and contains only natural colorants such as organic henna, ground walnut shells, or indigo leaf. Since Logona is not using artificial colorants, their hair colors are not meant to provide 100% coverage. Instead, Logona's 100% Botanical Herbal Hair Dyes "mix" with your natural hair color for a more natural look. Logona's Henna based Flame Red 100% Botanical Herbal Hair Color powder is100% natural. This means: No synthetic colorants or PPDs No synthetic fragrances or preservatives No peroxides or ammonium Certified natural by BDIH and NaTrue Logona Herbal Hair Dyes Color in Harmony with Nature Flame Red Herbal Hair Color coats each hair strand with a coloring and strengthening layer that actually adds volume and shine. Only henna and other natural plant colorants, such as walnut shells and beet root, provide the color. Plant-derived conditioners make application and comb-out easier, and improve your overall hair structure for a softer, healthier texture. Flame Red produces a brilliant, fiery red on light blonde to medium blonde hair. Depending on your beginning hair color, your color result should lie within the shown range. Check out Logona's Color Chart to match their colors to your hair color. Standards and Quality Manufacturing personal care products without synthetic preservatives requires especially careful handling of both raw materials and finished products, as the slightest contamination can ruin an entire production run. Logona utilizes GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), the pharmaceutical industry's production standard, to guide their manufacturing processes. Logona also continuously improves their products' quality to keep current with advances in manufacturing and ingredient standards. However, no advance in product quality comes at the cost of Logona's steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility. Logona's foremost goal is to make quality personal care products with minimal impact on the planet and its resources. Certifications Logona's raw materials are of the highest quality and, whenever possible, of certified organic origin. In addition, nearly all of Logona's products are certified by BDHI and NaTrue, two independent certification standards that award their seal to products that comply with the strictest natural standards. Plant Extracts Chamomile from Egypt, rosemary from France, linden blossom from Croatia, horsetail from Portugal – Logona's Research & Development team analyzes plants from all over the world to determine the best resources for their products. And, because production methods play an equally important role in the quality of a plant extract, Logona produces many of their own extracts. By utilizing a mixture of bio-ethanol, water and glycerin (standard extracts are usually made using only ethanol and water) Logona slowly and gently releases the active plant ingredients. The addition of glycerin and Logona's six to eight hour extraction process allows them to capture more of the active plant ingredients than with a standard ethanol and water mixture. With few exceptions, the plants Logona sources for their extracts are certified organic. And, most of Logona's plant extracts are from classic medicinal plants, making them extremely effective. About Logona During the 1970's, Europe experienced a wave of environmental consciousness and activism. Organic agriculture, renewable energy and environmental responsibility became the watchwords of the movement. In 1975, a group of inspired and like-minded friends opened a shop, Lorien Goods, in Hanover, Germany. Their shop featured the few products available at the time that fit the values of the new, green movement. To expand their shop's selection and to wholesale to other stores, the group began to import products from outside of Germany. In 1977, they decided it was time to begin manufacturing their own body care products and Logona was born. Logona's commitment to manufacturing and packaging body care products in an ecologically responsible manner resonated with their customers and the product line steadily expanded over the years. Today, Logona offers more than 200 natural personal care and cosmetic products. In 1990, the company added a new line of natural care products, Sante, to appeal to a younger consumer. Strict ingredient quality standards are of fundamental importance in Logona's product formulation and manufacturing. Logona's products utilize the highest quality, natural raw materials, such as: premium botanical oils, herbal extracts and essential oils derived from organic agriculture and wild-crafting. In addition to rigorous ingredient standards, Logona also meets or exceeds industry sustainability standards for minimizing resource consumption during manufacturing and for minimal and recyclable packaging for their finished products. Today, Logona, together with Sante, serves as a leading manufacturer of natural personal care products throughout Europe and is currently expanding into the North American marketplace.

By TJ Cotterill The News Tribune
The Seattle Sounders are seeing a different Lamar Neagle this season.
Neagle's road to Major League Soccer from his days as an all-area player at Thomas Jefferson High School in Auburn is littered with stints on the bench, a few uniforms and inconsistent playing time.
But opportunity came calling when the U.S. national team claimed Eddie Johnson and Brad Evans, and the Honduras team took Mario Martinez for most of the past month. Neagle stepped into the starting lineup.
The seldom-used role player now is tied for the team lead with four goals and three assists — all in his past five matches.
"Chances have been so few and far between in previous years, and that has made it tough to get on a roll when you don't get (consistent) minutes," said Neagle, 26, in his fifth professional season and third stint with the Sounders. "You kind of worry as you go along if you are ever going to get your shot. But I just kept plugging along, and it eventually just kind of happened for me."
Neagle entered the season with seven goals and four assists in 46 MLS appearances. He already has improved on last season, when he recorded two goals and two assists in 23 appearances with the Montreal Impact. He was traded to Montreal before the season in a deal that brought Johnson to Seattle.
The trade came after Neagle's promising 2011 campaign with the Sounders when he had five goals in nine starts. But he struggled in Montreal, saying the trade shook his confidence.
"That (2011) was the year when I knew I could play in this league," Neagle said. "I was trying to build on that, but then being traded to a new team and not getting the minutes that I thought I was going to get was definitely disheartening. It dropped me down a couple pegs."
Montreal traded him back to the Sounders in January. Neagle has started in seven of his past eight matches, including the Sounders' 3-2 win against the Vancouver Whitecaps on June 8, when he scored the winning goal.
"He is not just scoring and making plays for the team, but also helping everybody defensively," midfielder Mauro Rosales said. "He is doing an excellent job taking his opportunity, and now he is one of the guys playing more for us.
"I've known him from the moment that I come here, and to tell you the truth, I'm not surprised he is doing this kind of stuff right now, doing his best now and having a good time. I can see him doing this every day for us."
But soon, Neagle's groove might be thwarted.
Johnson and Evans helped the U.S. team beat Martinez's Honduras squad, 1-0, in a World Cup qualifier Tuesday, and all three returned to the team Wednesday — just as Neagle and forward Obafemi Martins have started to develop chemistry up front.
Neagle is tied with Johnson for the team lead in goals and has one more assist than Evans — despite making one fewer start than both.
"He's playing with a lot of confidence," Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. "But he is also putting a lot of energy into the game. He's been very beneficial to us with the amount of sprints that he makes, creating havoc for the opposing defense."
With the return of Johnson, Evans and Martinez, the Sounders' lineup will undergo an overhaul. Schmid guaranteed he would find a place for Neagle, though he wasn't specific on where.
Even with that vote of confidence, Neagle knows his minutes might become less consistent.
"It's a definite possibility," Neagle said. "But right now I feel like a guy who is being focused on, and with Eddie and Martinez back, they are going to be focused on. If teams lapse on all three of us, we are going to punish them for that, so it may actually work out for the best.
"Right now, I'm doing well, and when that happens, (the coaches) are good at rewarding people for it. So I should be on the field."
That is all Neagle has wanted.
"For me, it's about knowing that I can play against anyone in the league and that I can do well against them — that's my mentality," Neagle said. "It's a bit changed from times when I questioned myself when I wasn't playing a lot or got kinda nervous whenever I did get the chance."
"Now I'm just trying to make the most of it."

Public Health School gets $1M for Long-Term Care
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Brown University's School of Public Health has received a $1 million grant to launch a center to improve long-term care for the elderly.
The grant to establish the Long Term Care Quality and Innovation Center is from the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living.
The center will research and test best practices that improve long-term and post-acute care with the aim of turning them into training programs that can be implemented at skilled nursing centers.
The center will be housed at the Centers for Gerontology and Healthcare Research at Brown. Vincent Mor, a professor of health services, policy and practice, will be the director.
The center is designed to be self-sustaining after three to five years.

Media Let Climate Change Off The Hook In Fishing Debate
Blog ››› ››› BRIAN POWELL
As government scientists and policymakers attempt to safeguard disappearing populations of Atlantic Cod off of the New England coast with stricter catch limits, state and national media continue to ignore the role of anthropogenic climate change in displacing cod from their longtime habitats.
For over four hundred years, New Hampshire has maintained a thriving commercial fishing industry, reliant to a large degree on groundfish like the cod. Cod are now disappearing from the New England coast, and scientists are attributing this disappearance in part to warmer and more acidic waters -- driven by industrial emissions of carbon dioxide -- that are driving cod northward into preferred cold-water habitats.
Rising ocean temperatures pose a challenge for fish and wildlife managers attempting to protect these cod populations (and, by extension, the fishing industry in New England). From The Boston Globe (emphasis added):
Warming waters and an evolving ocean ecosystem possibly related to man-made climate change are contributing to the anemic populations, not just decades of overfishing, government officials say.
"While we are not blaming fishermen, this is not good news,'' said John Bullard, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's regional chief. "We can control overfishing -- it's hard but we can do it -- but how do you control this?"
The only option, Bullard and other regulators say, is to dramatically restrict fishing to give the bottom-hugging fish any hope of a comeback.
On the February 6 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, New Hampshire Republican and noted "climate change skeptic" Sen. Kelly Ayotte attacked the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) attempts to protect U.S. cod populations by implementing stricter catch limits. No one during this segment mentioned climate change:
And in Ayotte's home state, New Hampshire's largest newspaper -- the Union Leader -- has been following suit.
According to a Nexis search, none of the Union Leader's news coverage of new fishing standards mentioned climate change. A February 2 editorial attacking cod fishing quotas did cite a 2005 piece in the ICES Journal of Marine Science that found cod are probably migrating north because of warming waters, and quoted the report's author as stating, "It is quite clear that, with future warming, there will be a northward migration of cod."
However, the Union Leader's editorial board omitted the author's conclusions that man-made climate change is partially to blame and that stricter fishing regulations would be necessary to preserve cod populations. From the ICES article noting that, in order to preserve stocks, "fishing pressure must ease as warming increases":
Anthropogenic warming is projected to lead to increased air and sea temperatures globally and proportionately higher increases in the Arctic and Subarctic regions (IPCC, 2001). Indeed, much recent evidence indicates that dramatic warming is already occurring (ACIA, 2004).
I have outlined some of the changes that I believe are likely to occur to Atlantic cod in the North Atlantic in response to increased warming, based on the current understanding of the effects of temperature variability on cod. The responses include the disappearance of some of the southern cod stocks currently occupying the warmest waters, an extension in distribution northwards, perhaps including the area beyond the Barents Sea farther into the Arctic, and likely establishment of newer spawning sites in the north.
The disappearance of the southern stocks will occur more rapidly than climate warming would suggest if fishing intensity continues at its current rate (e.g. Clark et al., 2003). If these stocks are to be preserved, fishing pressure must ease as warming increases. Even with a relaxation of fishing pressure, climate changes may still be enough to cause the stocks to disappear.
As the National Climate Assessment noted earlier this year, climate change has wide-ranging effects on local economies and ecosystems. It's about time media stopped ignoring its reach.
