ESPN Looking for Title Sponsor for Hawaii Bowl
ESPN Regional TV, which owns and operates the Hawaii Bowl, is looking for a new title sponsor for the 2014 game. The Hawaii Bowl will still be played on December 24, but Sheraton Hotels, will remain as an official hotel sponsor, not a title sponsor. It will be the 10th time in the game's 13-year history that it will be played on Christmas Eve. Kickoff for the nationally-televised event is 3 p.m. on ESPN. The game will match representatives from the Mountain West Conference and Conference USA. The University of Hawaii will represent the Mountain West if the Rainbow Warriors win at least seven of the team's 13 regular season games.

Network to air 2012 HRTV Film Festival at Santa Anita Top Ten Show on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET
HRTV (R) will air the first-ever 2012 HRTV Film Festival at Santa Anita Top Ten Show on Wednesday, May 2 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
The one-hour show, co-hosted by HRTV's Peter Lurie and Zoe Cadman, will air at 8:30 p.m. ET, and feature the top ten submitted videos (virtually all in their entirety) from the recently-concluded Film Festival.
All videos, from both aspiring and established filmmakers, in the inaugural "A Day at the Races" competition were required to be no more than five minutes long, and had to shot entirely at the picturesque Santa Anita. Tristan de Burgh and Cassandra Brooksbank, both students at the USC Film School, took the $10,000 judges' prize award (from 25 overall submissions) with a video titled "Call to Arms." Christopher Riehn, a student at Cal Poly Pomona, earned the second-place prize of $5,000 from his video -- "Today."
Miguel Mouchess won the $10,000 Fan's Favorite award with his submission -- "A Day at the Races with the Paddock Tree Gang." Mouchess was the selection from more than 77,000 online votes. Mouchess also earned $3,000 from a third-place award in the judges' voting.

Los Angeles • As an outspoken coach willing to cross the lines of congeniality to do what he thinks is best for his sport, Utah's Greg Marsden often finds himself at odds with many of his fellow gymnastics coaches.
But when it comes to rating the field, he and his fellow coaches are in agreement: The 2013 NCAA Championships is the toughest lineup ever.
Top-ranked Florida has the highest national qualifying score of 396.24, but six teams have an NQS in the 394 range and four others are in the 393 range.
Only Illinois, with an NQS of 392.235 in its third appearance at the NCAAs, seems like a long shot.
It once was a given for the national powers to make the Super Six. Not anymore, said UCLA coach Valorie Kondos Field.
"We know it's going to be a bloodbath to get to the Super Six," she said.
It's not often that the term "bloodbath" is used to describe a sport that hinges upon athletic grace, but the competition is expected to be difficult after some surprising results during the season.
For instance, Utah upset Florida, Michigan beat UCLA at home, Oregon State and Nebraska won their league titles but didn't even qualify and Arkansas and Illinois scored upsets to join the field.
Of all the teams, UCLA might have the most pressure to make the Super Six, since it is hosting.
The Bruins have lost several gymnasts to injuries with Peng-Peng Lee (knee), Samantha Peszek (Achilles), Ellette Craddock (finger tendon) and Mattie Larson (knee) all out for sure. Standout Vanessa Zamarripa injured her ankle on a beam dismount at regionals but is expected to compete.
Overcoming the injuries has made the team stronger in many ways, Kondos Field said.
"We had walk-ons who were competing at 9.75 and we had to get them to the 9.9 range somehow," she said. "We found a way, and we had a ball figuring out how to do that and get it done. I'm having the time of my life, coaching the little team that could. We're like the Bad News Bears, and it has been a ball."
As the two-time defending champion, Alabama can't be overlooked, but SEC foe Florida appears to be the biggest threat out of the south.
The Gators have been favored before but choked under pressure, including the 2010 NCAAs, when they hosted and tumbled to sixth.
Florida coach Rhonda Faehn said the Gators eliminated some of their riskier skills, but promises the Gators will still be aggressive.
"We wanted to make a balance with the performance factor and the execution," she said. "We're hoping we found that balance that allows them to feel comfortable and confident out there."
Familiar surroundings
Utah opened the season at UCLA with a 197.425-195.3 loss. Having competed in the arena gives the Utes a little comfort, but the arena will be much different since the meet will be held on a podium, with all the events held on a platform that raises the arena floor higher than usual.
The setup makes for a bouncier floor, something the Utes welcome, given their high-powered routines.
"It's weird at first, but it doesn't take long to adjust," Mary Beth Lofgren said. "After the first pass, you get a feel for everything."
Painful memento
Tory Wilson took a tumble during a balance beam routine and split her shin open down to the bone. Doctors glued and stitched the wound together. Despite the painful injury, Wilson said it won't affect her.
"It comes with the sport," she said of the injury. "You just have to get over it mentally."
Big cheerleader
Corrie Lothrop, Utah's top all-arounder who tore her Achilles tendon in the fourth meet of the season, is doing her best to help the team anyway she can, but admits she still feels out of place on the sidelines.
"It's hard but I have gotten used to it," she said. "At regionals I got to hold up the numbers, it was like, 'Yeah, I have a job!' At the same time, I've seen how far they've come since the Pac-12s and it's exciting to see how the weekend might turn out."

Hello Mum Kate,
Thanks again for your post. Do you think I should try taking Provera for ten days as what my doctor said to bring back one cycle so that I can have a FSH blood test on the 3rd day? The reason why up to now I am not taking Provera is that yo said it can cause breast cancer and I am afraid of that. What do you think should I take it now month of July so that by August I will ovulate so that when my husband came and I have good eggs quality after the test there will be a chance that I can conceive with Gods mercy on me.
I will be waiting for your reply as soon as possible so that I will take the Provera now just for one cycle.
Warm regards

Hi Amy,
Whether you take Provera or not needs to be a personal decision that you make. You need to do your research on the following:
Provera - side effects, "breast cancer"
Day 3 testing of FSH and Ovarian Reserve
Any other medications they may give you to control your cycle, stimulate ovulation, etc.
For most women your age, the reality of pregnancy occuring naturally or even through IVF (using their own eggs) is very low - like less than 1%. If we compare this to the fertility of someone in their late teens, which is 50%, you can see that it just becomes EXTREMELY hard to conceive when you 47 years of age.
I would probably be more hopeful if you were still having regular cycles, but being that you haven't had a cycle for many months now, it's just a large indicator that your body is preparing for menopause. On top of this, you're saying your husband will only be home for one month (August), so you really only have one month to try.
Something you could try would be to give yourself a year of working very closely with an Acupuncturist who is also a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. This doctor would create a customized blend of herbs specific to your body, and would balance hormones and increase fertility that way. But it takes many months to literally turn around a menopausal situation at the age of 47. Traditional Chinese Medicine is very powerful and helpful at increasing fertility.
I would encourage you to do some more research on that areas I mentioned above, and look into finding a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner who specializes in fertility and has a great track record of helping women in their 40's give birth to babies. I have a friend who conceived at 48 years of age, BUT she miscarried that baby and never conceived again. It's not just about conception, it's about creating a super healthy egg in yourself and super healthy sperm in your husband (the quality of sperm can also be a great factor in miscarriage) and then making sure that all hormones are balanced so that the healthy embryo can implant and grow.
You're doing great with your diet. The next step is to find a TCM Practitioner who can create a customized herbal blend that is the right potency for you body. It takes time and it takes money.
Have you given any thought to adopting a newborn? Here's a beautiful poem that any mum will appreciate if she's given her baby up for adoption or is considering adopting a special little one.
Legacy of Two Mothers ~ Author Unknown
Once there were two women who never knew each other.
One you do not remember, the other you call "Mother".
Two different lives, shaped to make yours one.
One became your guiding star; the other became your sun.
The first gave you life, and the second taught you to live it
The first gave you a need for love, and the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality; the other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent, the other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions; the other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile; the other dried your tears.
One chose adoption. It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me through your tears,
The age-old question through the years.
Heredity or environment, which are you the product of?
Neither, my darling, neither.
Just two different kinds of love.

Hello Mam Kate!
Its good to be back again! I followed all what you had posted here, I take the olive oil, fish oil supplements, multivitamins, avoid milk and others. As I told you I had my last period before December 2011 but after I followed all what you told me my cycle is back December 8, 2012. After that I stopped taking already the olive oil and fish oil. But now it is month of May 2013 and I had no cycle again since January 2013 and it is 5 months already. What do you think I am into menopause already?.. Please help me if you can give me some other things I can do. I really want to have a child even only one for me and my husband to be happy. I know there is nothing impossible with the help of God and I always have that big TRUST on Him. And I will do everything for this even if I have to sacrifice.I will appreciate it very much if you can give me more information about my inquiries. Thank you and looking forward for your posts regarding this.

Hi Amy,
I'm guessing that you are 47 years old now, and with all you've described in your posts, I would tend to say that you are probably peri-menopausal which means your cycles are highly irregular and you are moving towards menopause. The fact that your ultrasound showed normal ovaries, etc. indicates that you most likely don't have an infertility challenge - but rather that you are just moving out of your fertile years.
In Australia, the average age of menopause is 51-52 years of age. Of course this varies widely, depending on each person. I am 49 years old and definitely peri-menopausal.
How do you feel about adoption? Adopting a baby is amazingly wonderful, and there are medications and herbs you can take to lactate so that you can breastfeed your baby.
Warm Regards,

This is my first time on any forum so I hope I'm posting correctly. I am new to this site, 42 and have a high FSH level. My eggs are age appropriate, unfortunately. I have info from a one time visit to a f doc. I went to the doc 10 months ago and found out I had low ovarian reserve, but became pregnant on my own shortly after consultation! I lost the baby at about 4 weeks.
I think it was a miracle it happened at all and am afraid it may have been my last chance. Since then, my periods are starting to change for the first time in my life. The last three have been irregular, a first for me. Today I started on day 19, shortest ever for me. I don't know if it's a result of the miscarriage or if I'm starting peri menopause. I need help fast if this is going to happen again and my doctors don't offer anything other then a message that my chances are slim. I am a healthy weight, I exercise, I don't take anything but a vitamin with folic acid, co q10 and dhea. I do not have a history of miscarriage but had a tremendous amount of stress when this occurred.
Now that my periods are changing, and I have this high FSH level, I'm becoming very discouraged. I have no idea what I should be doing to better my chances. It's hard to find information because it's so conflicting and negative for women over 35. I'm afraid to make a move because it might be the wrong one. Any advise regarding my age, getting my periods back on track, keeping endo at bay (although I think my tubes are clear) and diet would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

This might help. If I had a new 8GB USB for persistent changes I would do something like:
2GB format as FAT32 | 6GB format at EXT3 with label "casper-rw"
Use Unetbootin to install BT4-Final to the 2GB partition.
Then follow the instructions in the guide etc etc having booted under the Persistent CD option.

LOS ANGELES - The Long Beach State men's water polo team bounced back from a 4-0 deficit in the first period, surged ahead in the third and held on for a 14-11 victory over UC Santa Barbara Saturday morning in a consolation match at the MPSF Tournament at USC's McDonald's Swim Stadium.
Six players recorded multiple-goals for LBSU. Balint Meszaros collected nine saves to push his total to 276, tying him for third all-time at LBSU (23-8) for saves in a single-season. Meszaros is now seven saves shy of surpassing Derek Wiebe-Baily for sole possession of the top spot in school history for single-season saves.
The Gauchos (15-13) raced to a 4-0 lead in the first quarter before Milos Vrzic ended the 49er drought at the 2:12 mark of the first period. Nolan McConnell followed Vrzic's goal on a power play to cut it to 4-2.
The 49ers seemingly had the lead 7-6 at halftime, but an official's ruling negated a goal and LBSU ended up tied 6-6.
Long Beach State scored six goals in the third period for a 12-9 lead and held on.
The 49ers face Pacific today at 11:30 a.m. in the fifth-place match.

New app helps clean your email clutter
On a recent morning, I woke up to 55 unread emails—and just a few of them from family and friends. The rest was unsolicited mail from strangers or publicists.
My inbox had been overrun by hordes of email marketers hoping to catch a second of my attention.
LinkedIn wanted me to endorse a few former colleagues; a music promoter suggested I check out a new track; oh, and from LivingSocial: did I want a discount on a massage?
I've been subscribed—both willingly and unwillingly—to hundreds of various newsletters over the past few years. And having a public email address, as I do, has its benefits. People can get in touch with me for all kinds of reasons. The downside, of course, is also that people can get in touch with me for all kinds of reasons.
And that's where Unroll.me comes in.
Launched in a beta form by Jojo Hedaya and Josh Rosenwald—both 23—in early 2012, it was remade "from the ground up" just last month. The newest version, Hedaya tells Newsweek, will "totally revolutionize email."

CERRITOS - Should registered sex offenders be allowed in city parks?
At Thursday night's meeting, the City Council will discuss two possible ordinances that would ban registered sex offenders from entering, loitering in or using a city park. One ordinance would apply only to registered sex offenders convicted of sex acts involving minors, and the other one would apply to all registered sex offenders.
After studying the issue at its Jan. 18 meeting, the Community Safety Committee recommended to the council an ordinance that only restricts registered sex offenders convicted of sex acts involving minors.
Committee members were concerned a broader ordinance might be vulnerable to a lawsuit, according to staff reports.
However, at its Feb. 2 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended to the council an ordinance that would ban all registered sex offenders from entering city parks.
About 26 registered sex offenders live in Cerritos, according to staff reports.
Staff said the proposed ordinance was prompted by actions taken in other cities.
In October, Los Alamitos passed an ordinance setting up "child safety zones" that ban sex offenders from city parks and playgrounds.
Los Alamitos modeled its law after a similar law passed by the Orange County Board of Supervisors, adopted nearly a year ago. The county ordinance makes it a misdemeanor for a registered sex offender to enter - without permission of the Sheriff's Department - county recreational areas where children regularly gather.
In other business Thursday, the Cerritos council will consider approval of a design services contract to update the facilities at Cerritos Park East, 13234 E. 166th St.
The work, estimated to cost from $280,000 to $325,000, includes a renovated restroom, replacement of outdated audio and visual equipment, and removal and replacement of kitchen counter tops and ceiling tiles in the dance room.
The entire project will be funded by the Los Angeles Parks and Open Space District. The design concept should be finalized by the end of June.

Setting up your Blog
Step 1: Create a google account, or sign in with your google account if you already have one. http://www.blogger.com.
Step 2: Create a blog. Choose a title for your blog, and check the availability of the blog's address you want. For example, mine is http://dirkins.blogspot.com/.
Step 3: Choose a starter template. (You can always change it later.)
Step 4: Start customizing the look of your blog!
Customizing Your blog
Use the Blogger Template Designer to choose a template, layout, background and more. The Layout section guides what will be placed where on your blog.
Once you've finished, click "Back to Blogger."
In "Layout", you can add "Gadgets" to your page, including an "about me" section and others. Play around with it to see if you want to add anything. This is where your blog archive will be. (Don't forget to hit save when you make any changes.)
Go to the "Settings" section to make sure all of the settings are set to what you want.
You're ready to start posting, so click the "new post" button. It's super easy to create a post. Make sure you add a title first, and then go for it. You can either do your own html coding by choosing the "edit html" tab, or use the editor by choosing the "compose" tab. You can switch back and forth between the two if you need to. When you're on the "Compose" tab, you'll see lots of options like font, size, bold, italicize, alignment and adding links, images and videos. Experiment with these to see what happens. Click the "publish" button at the top of the page to publish your post. You can always go back and edit or delete any post you create.
It's important to add "Labels" to your blog. These are sometimes known as tags. It helps to categorize your posts. Try to think of descriptive labels if you're going to use them. You can list your labels either in list or cloud form by adding them to a "gadget" on your page.
From blogger.com about using labels: "Labels are handy if you blog about a lot of different subjects, since readers can then choose to view all of your posts on, say, dancing at once. Or politics, or knitting, or whatever you happen to be writing about. If you have a team blog, you could also give each member their own label, so you could easily read all the posts by any one of them. Feel free to come up with other creative new uses as well!"
Adding images and videos
You can easily add images and videos to your posts in a number of ways. For images, you can upload pictures from your hard drive, your Google Photos (aka Picasa) account (if you have one), and you can link to images online. Be careful with this last option, and make sure you have the rights to link to or use an image before doing so. One place to look for images is Flickr's Creative Commons: http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ . Be sure to read and understand how to use these images, and what your responsibility is (ie giving credit to the creator etc.)
See my blog entry for more: http://dirkins.blogspot.com/2011/02/lets-insert-image.html
For videos, you can add your own clips, clips from Youtube or other online sites like Hulu. Youtube clips are the easiest with Blogger. For other online clips, like through Hulu, you'll want to use the "Embed" code often found under the clip. And once you've got that, you need to add it to the code of your post, making sure you're in the "Edit html" tab.
See my blog entry for more: http://dirkins.blogspot.com/2011/02/now-lets-embed-video.html
Don't forget, just because you're writing online (instead of turning in a traditional paper), you still have to do research! You can't just make things up or plagiarize from somewhere else. You must learn how to find and use credible sources.

Music became a surrogate—Howlin' wolf said it best: it feels good not to have a daddy.
They apologized for "poor judgment," then essentially retracted the apology by claiming wolf's aide was provoked.
As a result, The wolf of Wall Street is devilishly entertaining and exquisitely controlled, just as those classics were.
"One of the smartest Republicans up there," wolf Blitzer chimed in.
I wonder if wolf and Gladstone are willing to describe that as evidence of multilateralism.
While the Cave-men looked at the wolf, Chipper told them what had happened.
"He is gone to skin a wolf, which he shot this morning," replied Alfred.
The wolf seconded the motion, and the hyena said that suits.
"Only that I have killed a wolf, and am not allowed to bring in my trophy," replied Emma.
Then the thing the wolf had half expectantly waited for happened.
Old English wulf, from Proto-Germanic *wulfaz (cf. Old Saxon wulf, Old Norse ulfr, Old Frisian, Dutch, Old High German, German wolf, Gothic wulfs), from PIE *wlqwos/*lukwos, from root *wlp-/*lup- (cf. Sanskrit vrkas, Avestan vehrka-; Albanian ulk; Old Church Slavonic vluku; Russian volcica; Lithuanian vilkas "wolf;" Old Persian Varkana- "Hyrcania," district southeast of the Caspian Sea, literally "wolf-land;" probably also Greek lykos, Latin lupus).
This manne can litle skyl ... to saue himself harmlesse from the perilous accidentes of this world, keping ye wulf from the doore (as they cal it). ["The Institution of a Gentleman," 1555]Wolves as a symbol of lust are ancient, e.g. Roman slang lupa "whore," literally "she-wolf" (preserved in Spanish loba, Italian lupa, French louve). The equation of "wolf" and "prostitute, sexually voracious female" persisted into 12c., but by Elizabethan times wolves had become primarily symbolic of male lust. The specific use of wolf for "sexually aggressive male" first recorded 1847; wolf-whistle first attested 1952. The image of a wolf in sheep's skin is attested from c.1400. See here for a discussion of "wolf" in Indo-European history.
"eat like a wolf," 1862, from wolf (n.). Related: Wolfed; wolfing.
: I give with the vocals and wolf around in a nite club

well first of all i think you meant that u are using WIN7 (not win6) . But that is not the point here.
If you are not sure what exactly you are doing you should definitely backup your data. Next, i will describe my situation - i was running BT4, win7, slack - i burned bt5, booted from it, in instalator i simply deleted bt4 partition (its done by gparted if I am not mistaken), on the free (old bt4) space i created more suitable layout for me, and installed BT5 here. WIN7 and Slack survived with no harm and all 3 systems are booting just fine. BUT again, if you are not completely sure what are you doing, always (ALWAYS) backup your data first - btw. why to backup partitions?win7 fresh install is piece of cake (same goes for BT5 - great job dev team).

Everyone who is registered in the district, be it companies, pupils, tenants or house owners can submit their contribution to the competition. No matter how big or small the project is, as long as it is creative and brings new green spaces into the district, it can take part in the competition. The goal is to improve the quality of life for the people in the 7th district and to fight climate change – because every such contribution matters.
The motto in 2012 is 'microclimate'. A microclimate is a small area that differs in its climatic characteristics from the surrounding conditions by being cooler or hotter, more or less humid etc. An example for a micro climate would be the wind protected courtyard in which plants grow, that wouldn't survive in other places of the city. Those microclimates can be very important for life in the city, since cities are usually hotter than the surrounding country-side and have less air circulation. This impacts on human health and can cause sleeping disorders or cardiovascular problems. In this context, even small green spaces can have a comforting effect for the city life.
The range of projects that can be submitted is as diverse as the city life itself: from a planted window board to a herb garden in the inner courtyard, a vegetated wall or rooftop and as many other projects as you can imagine.
The KLIP7 award is a cooperation of all political fractions in the district agency and the Klimabündnis Österreich (climate alliance Austria) as well as the Vienna administration. In sum the award gives out a prize amounting to 7000€.
The deadline for registering for this year's competition is the 23th May; the award ceremony will take place on 19th June 2012. Application forms are available online here.

NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital is a Stroke Center
NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital is a New York State Stroke Center, designated by the State Hospital Review and Planning Council. This means the Hospital has protocols in place to ensure a rapid response for patients experiencing stroke symptoms. When a stroke is suspected, our ER staff provides a fast evaluation of symptoms. The team also determines whether the patient is a candidate for Tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA), a medication that can minimize or even reverse the damage caused by the stroke if administered within three hours of the onset of symptoms.
"After much preparation, education, and certifications, the Hospital is equipped to provide a head-start in reducing the likelihood of long-term disabilities associated with stroke," says John C. Federspiel, Hospital President. "With only a 3-hour window to start treatment, the ability to identify warning signs and getting the person to our emergency room can be a life-saver."
What is a stroke?
A stroke is when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, preventing oxygen and nutrients from reaching brain tissue. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain cells start to die, leading to a loss of functions – eyesight, speech, movement etc. - controlled by the affected area of the brain.
Strokes are treatable and preventable. The faster a patient is treated, the greater the chance of recovery. For some types of stroke, treatment should be administered within the first three hours. To reduce the risk of brain damage and increase the chance of a full recovery, patients should get to a hospital as quickly as possible after the first sign of a stroke.
Some warning signs of stroke are:
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body; sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance/coordination; sudden, severe headache with no known cause.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of disability.

News: Busiest summer at AGTS underscores need for building renovations
For most schools, summer is a time to slow down, regroup and catch a collective breath. NOT at AGTS! Our faculty and staff attended to 16 doctoral modules, 17 master's classes, intensive biblical language programs, a two-week church business administrator certification program, global missions sessions and the first Institute of Islamic Studies (held in response to great interest by cross-cultural workers across the nation).
We are grateful to God for the many opportunities we've had this summer, and all year long, to contribute to the preparation of men and women he has called. We relish the fact that these facilities, having been dedicated to God for his purposes, are in use from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. six days a week.
This high level of building usage has, however, taken a toll on the building itself over the last 15 years. Its upkeep will require funds above the seminary's usual budgeted resources. For this reason, AGTS has initiated the R.O.I. Campaign (Renovate, Optimize, Invest). Click here to find out how you can help AGTS not only maintain but grow its commitment to shape servant leaders with knowledge, skill and passion to revitalize the church and evangelize the world in the power of the Spirit.

It's long been handy for politicians to say the news media distorts and spins its reporting on them.
So the Chiefland Citizen is taking them up on the challenge.
In Monday's Board of County Commissioners budget workshop the four members were told they could submit columns on this year's vexing budget problems — including the possibility of higher assessments, higher property taxes, furloughs or cuts in hours for county workers or cuts in hours and services.
These are all worthy topics for debate.

well it goes.. I bought the new windows 8 from the Microsoft store for 39.95 it was easy to install it worked great for the first day.. I turned the machine off for the night and went to log back in the following morning.. when I started the machine.. it kept on showing me that it couldn't fix errors and wouldn't leave that screen..
I called Microsoft and told them what was going on.. they said for me to go to another computer and download a iso file needed to reinstall windows 8. well I did that and it didn't work I contacted them again and they said I need to order the backup cd for windows 8 I waited 10 days for the disk never showed up.
so I had no computer for almost 2 weeks. I finally went this morning and bought the windows 8 disk .. everything is working great now.. I was about to go nutz with out a computer for that long
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I've had a different experience.
On the 23rd I signed up for the Windows 8 upgrade offer. On the 26th I was notified that Windows 8 was available and ready for purchase. Paid 14,99 euro for it. Installed the same day. During installation I followed all instructions. When the installation was done all my settings were maintained along with all my apps. Done. I also got to back it up on disk same day.
Here's another story, on the 31st of October, I contacted Microsoft Support because I was unable to subscribe to Windows 8 dev center. Subscription costs $99. Their payment methods stated they supported paypal, which didn't work for me. After a few emails back and forth, they set me up with a dev center subscription "on the house". Greatest support I've had anywhere.
Sorry about your misfortune. I'm going to stick with Windows 7 for a while on my desktop and laptop. It just works well and I don't see any benefits with windows 8 unless I'm using a touch screen.
I'm still on Windows XP
thanks for your feed back guys.. i also have a hpslate 2 touch screen.. which i have to send it in for repair once i get it back.. im going to install windows 8 on it
What? Windows 8 is out? Well, time to upgrade from my Win 95.
Can you tell us what went wrong with the ISO download process? Maybe we can help.

EUGENE, Ore. - Senior Maalik Reynolds finished seventh in the high jump and sophomore Sam Mattis was fifth in the discus at the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Friday night at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Both are set to earn first-team All-America honors when the USTFCCCA makes the official announcement early next week.
Reynolds passed at the first height and cleared his opening bar of 2.10 meters (6-10.75 ft.) on his first attempt. He then passed cleanly over the bar at 2.15 meters (7-00.50 ft.), but much of the field struggled at that height and only 12 advanced. At 2.20 meters (7-02.50 ft.), Reynolds bumped the bar on all three attempts to finish seventh overall and earn another All-America honor.
Reynolds finished his NCAA career as a six-time first-team All-American, seven-time All-Ivy honoree, five-time Heptagonal champion, two-time outdoor Heptagonal Most Outstanding Performer, two-time Penn Relays champion and the school record holder in both the indoor and outdoor high jump.
Mattis is the only Penn athlete to clear 60 meters in the discus. He has now done so at seven meets this year, including Friday's NCAA Final. His second toss landed at 60.33 meters (197-11 ft.) and momentarily launched him into first in his flight. It remained his best of his first three throws and he finished third among the 12 in his flight. After the second flight, Mattis' toss ranked fourth overall and placed him among the nine to qualify for the final round of throws. That toss remained Mattis' best through the final three rounds of throws and placed him fifth overall.
Mattis and Reynolds each scored for the Quakers to give Penn a total of 5.5 points at the meet. That placed the Penn men 42nd among the 78 teams that scored points at the meet.
On Wednesday, sophomore Kelsey Hay finished 18th in the women's javelin and will become the third outdoor All-American in Penn women's history. Her best toss landed at 47.28 meters (155-01 ft.). In all, she will be the ninth woman in school history to earn All-America honors, the second to do so in a field event and the first in an outdoor field event.
Next up for the Quakers is a trip to England as Penn continues one of track and field's most unique traditions. The Transatlantic Series dates back more than half a century and teams Ivy rivals Penn and Cornell against the storied English universities of Oxford and Cambridge. A bienniel tradition, the school's alternate as hosts with the meet being held at Cambridge this year. The Quakers will also compete at England's U-20 and U-23 Championships and spend time touring the country. In all, the Penn track and field teams will be overseas from June 16-July 1.
A recap of Penn's last trip to England -- in 2010 -- can be found here.

Sherry - from San Antonio, TX
First, make sure your cake is completely cooled before spreading on the icing – any hint of warmth will melt the icing, causing it to run down the sides of your cake. Then, make sure the icing isn't too runny – it should be thin consistency for spreading, but it should still hold a peak if you pull up on it with the spatula. Also, in hot, humid weather, you may find your icing melting. Make sure you keep your iced cake as cool as possible, and never place it outside or in direct sunlight for any length of time. Buttercream icing can be refrigerated, so if you want to be extra careful, certainly place your iced cake in the refrigerator. If you live in a high-humidity area, you might want to try one of the two High Humidity Buttercream icings on our website.

By Nomaan Merchant and Paul J. Weber Associated Press
FORT HOOD, Texas — The Army psychiatrist accused in the deadliest mass shooting ever on a U.S. military installation planned to "kill as many soldiers as he could" and tried to clear the area of civilians, a military prosecutor said Tuesday during the opening day of the trial at Fort Hood.
Col. Steve Henricks told jurors that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan deliberately targeted fellow soldiers as he walked through and opened fire inside a building where service members were preparing to deploy to Afghanistan in 2009.
Henricks described how Hasan entered the building as a civilian data clerk stood at entrance station and told her she was needed elsewhere in the building because a supervisor looking for her. The prosecutor said the clerk thought that was odd but went anyway, then Hasan "
"He then yelled 'Allahu akbar!' and opened fire on unarmed, unsuspecting and defenseless soldiers," Henricks told the jury during his opening statement.
When Hasan left the building, a civilian approached him and asked what was going on. Hasan told him not to worry about it, and the civilian "walks away from the encounter unscathed," the prosecutor said. Hasan allegedly told another civilian that there was a training exercise going on and he was carrying a paintball gun.
Hasan only shot at one civilian who tried to stop him, Henricks said.
Henricks also said Hasan picked the date of the attack — Nov. 5, 2009 — for a specific reason, though he didn't immediately reveal details.
Hasan — who is representing himself at the court-martial — is charged with numerous counts of murder and attempted murder for the attack that left 13 people dead.
He had wanted to argue that he carried out the shooting in "defense of others," namely members of the Taliban fighting in Afghanistan, but the judge denied that strategy. His defense strategy during the trial remains unclear, but over the next several weeks, he is expected to deliver an opening statement, to question witnesses and possibly present his own evidence.
The trial seems likely to unfold as a faceoff between the gunman and his victims. On the witness stand will be many of the more than 30 people who were wounded, plus dozens of others who were inside the post's Soldier Readiness Processing Center. They've also said they saw Hasan shout "Allahu akbar!" — Arabic for "God is great!" — and opened fire on unarmed fellow soldiers.
The government has said that Hasan, a U.S.-born Muslim, had sent more than a dozen emails starting in December 2008 to Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical U.S.-born Islamic cleric killed by a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.
Hasan has never denied carrying out the attack, and the facts of the case are mostly settled. But questions abound about how the trial will play out. How will Hasan question his victims? How will victims respond? How will his health hold up?
The defendant, who was shot in the back by officers responding to the attack, is now paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair. He requires 15- to 20-minute stretching breaks about every four hours, and he has to lift himself off his wheelchair for about a minute every half hour to avoid developing sores.
Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, who was wounded, is expected to testify. He said he looked forward to seeing Hasan, in a way.
"I'm not going to dread anything. That's a sign of fear," Lunsford said. "That man strikes no fear in my heart. He strikes no fear in my family. What he did to me was bad. But the biggest mistake that he made was I survived. So he will see me again."
But Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning said he dreaded the expected confrontation.
"I have to keep my composure and not go after the guy," said Manning, a mental health specialist who was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan with Hasan. "I'm not afraid of him, obviously. He's a paralyzed guy in a wheelchair, but it's sickening that he's still living and breathing."
The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, told jurors to prepare for a trial that could last several months.
On Tuesday, guards stood watch with long assault rifles outside the courthouse. A long row of shipping freight containers, stacked three high, created a fence around the building, which was almost entirely hidden by 15-foot-tall stacks of heavy, shock-absorbing barriers that extend to the roofline.
John Galligan, Hasan's former lead attorney, said Monday that he still keeps in touch with Hasan but wasn't sure what he would say Tuesday, if anything.
Hasan has indicated recently that he still wants his views to be heard. He has released statements to media outlets about his views on the Islamic legal code known as Sharia and how it conflicts with American democracy.
If he is convicted and sentenced to death, it will most likely be decades before he makes it to the death chamber, if at all. The military has not executed an active-duty soldier since 1961. Five men are on the military death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., but none is close to an execution date.

hi all.
i have Asus EeePC 901 (ralink RT2860), BT4r1 on SD-card, and WPA2-PSK homenet.
so i trying to connect my net using wicd: enter my static ip, mask, dns etc., wpa2 passphrase; and it's ok, wicd tell me that %my_ssid% is connected, i can even open google, but after few second i can open nothing. wicd still telling that all ok, but i can't ping even router and after 3-5 minutes there're disassociate due timeout.
neither syslog nor wireshark show nothing suspicious. what can it be? i tried to connect via wpa_supplicant and had the same picture - connection is done, ping google for 1,2,3,4 seconds and that's all: connection still active, but there's no answer from router.
it's not hardware problem, because when i'm booting in winXP on the same eeepc everything is ok.
is there somebody who made BT3 connect to wpa2 on EeePC 901 with ralink2860? i've read this forum and found no answer, only questions about this.
today i tried to use another another wi-fi router and had the same result: on winXP everything is ok, on BT4r1 connection hangs after a 10-12 icmp packets.

BALTIMORE (Map, News) - Well-known Baltimore graffiti artist ----- was found guilty of violating his probation in Baltimore City Circuit Court Tuesday.
-----, 27, who last year tagged countless pieces of property with the name "Oricl" during his reign as Baltimore City's self-proclaimed most prolific graffiti artist, was supposed to serve 500 hours of community service after he was convicted of malicious destruction of property in June 2006.
As part of his sentence, he was to work with Department of Public Works Crews to clean up the graffiti.
But Judge Barry Williams found Tuesday that ----- has completed only 32 hours of community service — and also violated his probation by being convicted of a crime in Baltimore County.
In August, a Baltimore County judge sentenced Ellis to eight years in prison after a jury convicted him of attempted manslaughter and assault from a fight that started over a kitten.
The Aug. 13, 2006 stabbing arose from an argument with Leyland "Tiger" Mayne while outside a friend's house.
During that trial, ------- testified he nudged Mayne's kitten; Mayne contends ------ kicked the animal.
Mayne and several friends then confronted ------, who testified that he ran inside and grabbed three kitchen knives, then put Mayne in a bear-hug while stabbing him in the back.
oricl was the last writer in baltimore to go all city...
he was not only my home boy in the graff world. but he was also a good friend. and father..

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Tornados gave a valiant effort by narrowly fell to NCAA Division I member UNC Asheville on Thursday, 4-3. Andrew Thompson was the star for Brevard (15-4), taking wins in both singles and doubles matches.
Under Division I rules, the three doubles matches combined for just one total point, which the Bulldogs (5-14) claimed with two pairs wins. Mauricio Correa and Joe May edged Konstantin Savelyev and Cole Altizer on court one, 8-6, while Jonas Brobeck and Nathan White slid past Jarred Fisher and Heikki Riikonen in a tiebreak, 9-8 (10-1). Though it did not affect the final match tally, Brevard won at No. 3 doubles, where Thompson and Nate Lyles doubled up Alexander Greer and Alex Appelt, 8-4.
Correa bested Savelyev, 6-2, 6-0, in the opening singles match, while Brobeck won a three-setter on court two, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, over Riikonen. The third court, which was the last to finish, clinched the point for the visitors, as May edged Altizer, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
The Tornados won on courts four, five and six. Fisher went the distance to beat White, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, Thompson beat Appelt, 6-3, 6-4, and Shane Apps took down Greer, 6-2, 6-3.
Both teams have just one regular season match left to play in 2009. The Tornados finish their regular season April 18 against Emmanuel College, a 3:30 p.m. contest, while the Bulldogs play at Winthrop Saturday at 2 p.m.

Arrests in trashing of Brian Holloway's Stephentown home
Rensselear County Sheriff Jack Mahar announces the arrest of 6 people for criminal behavior at Brian Holloway's Stephentown property.
The 6 range in age from 17 to 21 and the charges range from endangering the welfare of a child to stealing. All 6 voluntarily turned themselves in to police.
Seth Hawk of Grafton is accused of organizing, advertising, and providing alcohol for the party. More arrests are expected.
The former NFL offensive lineman whose second home in Stephentown was trashed by partying teenagers has signed papers that authorize the sheriff to press charges against them. Brian Holloway wanted the 300 teens and their parents to make amends by showing up at a clean up party last weekend. Only 4 did, which Holloway says forced him to take a stand.
Holloway has said the partiers caused at least $20,000 in damage to his home. The sheriff's office says no charges had been filed yet.
Holloway speaks to News Radio 810 & 103.1 WGY's Read Shepherd on why he now wants to charge the teens involved:

'"It's both confidence that he builds and we build as a staff," interim Sabres coach Ron Rolston said Friday. "This is a game of results at the end of the day – for goalies, for coaches, for players, for teams. It's about results. I think what happened (Thursday) was a case of he was really able to put some confidence in the bank for the next time."'
Sabres could turn to backup goalie Enroth again soon following strong effort

Published May 2012
I have determined the older I get the faster time passes by. I look at my calendar on my phone and I have red lines under nearly every weekend from now until the end of June. It's crazy to have that much going on, and then I realize why I'm so busy. I have a daughter graduating this year, another turning 11 years old and a husband that will be 40—all this month! No wonder my days are full, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
As I mentioned, Ashley is graduating this year. She is a senior at Saginaw High School. We are headed out this weekend to watch one of her last volleyball tournaments. Then we will be getting her ready for prom and graduation. I can't believe it's actually here. I think all parents sit back and wonder how it all happened. Seems like yesterday she was learning to walk and talk, and then we were sending her off to kindergarten. Junior high came and went—thank goodness, those were some years. Now, in just a couple of weeks she'll be standing on stage in her cap and gown receiving her diploma awaiting a world she has yet to discover.
Moving on to the younger child, Skylar will turn 11 years old on May 7. She will graduate from elementary school this year. The wonderful world of junior high awaits her (Prayers are appreciated!). She will be embarking on a new journey as well. There already seems to be so much drama in the fifth grade, I can only imagine what next year will be like. But Sky is a beautiful young girl who has the means and stubbornness to be anything she wants to be.
Now for my wonderful husband; he will be the BIG 4-0 this month (May 19th). I am so very proud of him, proud of the man he has become. Over the past 16 years of marriage, we have grown together in many ways. He keeps me sane, keeps things fun and keeps us laughing. Our family is blessed to have him in our lives and I look forward to his next 40 years.
The other day I was adding more things to my calendar and I kept looking at all those red lines. I was getting overwhelmed just looking at them. How in the world and I am going to get all this done. A little while later as I was driving home with my mind going 1,000 miles a minute I looked over saw a man in a wheelchair going down his sidewalk to check his mail. As I was stopped at the red light I watched him maneuver his chair, reach as far as we could, open his mail box and retrieve the papers inside. As I sat there, I prayed and thanked God I was physically able to do everything on my calendar with ease. I was completely humbled at that moment. So as time flies and my calendar fills up I thank God for the opportunity he's given me and look forward to the ride.
As these wonderful events approach I have to remind myself to stop and enjoy the moment as the moment happens. Before long I will fitting veils on my girls, watching them become a mothers for the first time and wondering where my teeth are! Times passes in the blink of an eye, but we must pause long enough to enjoy where we are.
Ashley—I'm so very proud of you! I look forward to this new chapter in your life and I pray that all your dreams come true!
Skylar—I wish the best 11th birthday ever! I'm proud to be your mom!
Breech—Happy 40th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you more today than I did yesterday. Thanks for being the man God called you to be!
We will celebrate many mile markers this month and I'm so blessed to be a part of all it. I look forward to many more!

Fairmont San Jose
Top Luxury Hotel
170 South Market Street, San Jose, CA
0.0 mi from
Great hotel, room and staff! Got free upgrade upon arrival and an extra 1/2 hour checkout time so we could go to the next door art museum without a hassle.
Rooms Staff at the door
Can't really think of anything. 1. Room was dated. 2. Room with a view had no view. 3. Parking was expensive. 4. Hotel had no charm or allure (other than the advertised picture).
Wonderful environment, great Beds close to San Jose Convention Center. Very Friendly Staff, impecible Service.
I liked that it was downtown close to bars, clubs and restaurants.
We were very impressed with the staff all around, reception, bellmen, cleaning staff etc. Lots and lots of hidden fees that will drive up your bill significantly.
Fancy, various locations to eat and enjoy yourself with partner and great America in a 13 min drive distance just a great stay after all and great valet service Beware of an extra 100$ charge at check in just in case you break anything in the hotel but will be refunded after check out and line is to long with no one trying to help them out to make the line go faster
Location Bed was uncomfortable and did not have enough covers shower was outdated and shower head was cheap No coffee station in room Sparsely decorated
A property in the Fairmont family. Being in historical downtown next to sites of value. Relying on amenities of a high end hotel which did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and helpful in all encounters. Extra fees for wifi these days seems unnecessary. Having to use hotel cards to go between tower and main facility (although security is appropriate).
Walking distance to downtown San jose & Staff was great
Clean, comfortable, upscale, great location in heart of city near restaurants, businesses, arena, light rail, freeway. Wonderful accomodations. Easy check- and check-out. Expensive parking. We parked in a garage one block from the hotel to avoid unreasonable $26 nightly fee. Most big cities charge this much, and higher, but why do have to shrug our shoulders and say, "that"s just the way it is". It feels like the baggage fees on the airlines.
Clean rooms with feel of knowing they are clean Ac went out. Super hot. Small beds
Room was very quiet, even with all of the airplane traffic on approach to San Jose Airport.
Pay WiFi with speed tiers.
Had a problem with the first room but they helped me switch rooms no questions asked
Great room overall, clean hotel in excellent location. Close to shops, food, and activities. Great service and friendly staff. Convenient parking (though it costs extra even without valet) garage connected to the hotel. Only a block away from Original Joe's. Despite a few quirks, I would stay here again. Charge for WiFi (unless you are an Elite member), ridiculous prices for snack shop food and goods ($5 for a Dairy Milk candy bar, $6 for an Odwalla Smoothie!), $45 for a t-shirt! Also, the hotel smells like the air freshener they pipe in at many of the Las Vegas hotels (could be a plus if you like that). Also, the choice of "aromatherapy" soaps are awful--why not go the clean, fresh scent of soap instead of burned wood?
I really Liked its location, we were attending a event at the convention center and the hotel is actually leads into the convention center. That was great! We didn't have to walk at all. All staff members were extremely nice and willing to offer any help that they could offer. The hotel was very busy due to the event, but the staff still dealt with customers in a very polite and friendly manner. I also wanted to say thank you to this hotel for not treating us any different than there other guest, we have been to other hotels and due to our ethnic background have been treated like we were some how less. This hotel did an excellent job treating everybody well and respectively Thank you so much! Some of the things that we weren't so pleased with that room service had certain hours and that it wasn't 24 hours and that the rooms were a little smaller than what we excepted. But overall we had a great experience
The proximity to the convention center and civic hall was crucial for my team's stay and this property is next to both. The accomadations and staff were excellent. I would recommend splurging a little fir the concierge lounge.
Excellent location, top choice for San Jose. Walking distance to major attractions and night life in the area. Excellent VTA transit access as well. Also consider the Hilton and Fairmont nearby. Valet parking is $29 with in/out privileges. This is a reasonable price for the area.
The valet service was overwhelmed since the hotel had no self park option. Plus, the valet was serving guests who weren't even staying at the hotel but attending a concert or conference in the area. It's a bit ridiculous that it takes 20 minutes to drop off a car with valet and another 20 minutes to pick it up.
Top notch hotel. Clean, newly remodeled, all amenities & on site restaurants etc The valet. He did not specify pricing of valet vs self park or exactly where self park was located.
The room looks clean and nice (1) The materials for bathroom and bathtub look very cheap...like Motel 6 (2) Soap scum were very where inside the bathroom, around the walls, in between the tiles, on the floor...yuck..yuck...yuck. (3) Dust was very where inside the bathroom, on top of base board, surrounding water faucet... (4) Faucet inside the bathtub was rusty and dirty. This should be easily to take care of with $10 spray paint for home depot. (5) Rest room located on the first floor was not clean or not being cleaned regularly. Trash was overflown and just can't believe this happened at the Hyatt hotel. I would never come back here again.
Breakfast Small room, no pool or spa
The newly renovated rooms and baths are simple and elegant. The Hedley Club lounge serves good food & cocktails. Conveniently located in downtown San Jose, short walk to Convention center. The room lacked many standard amenities: 1) password protected, high speed Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi was free, slow and unsecured) 2) in room safe large enough to fit a laptop 3) stocked mini-bar (empty mini-fridge provided but there were no vending machines or in hotel shop to buy snacks & drinks) 4) in room guide/magazine with local/city info
The bathrooms were well furnished... Better than the actual rooms. The staff was very friendly. True price I paid was not worth the room. It was a very crampt room with ancient furniture. The rooms were a boring shade of beige and our window view was another building being constructed. It's layout seemed more that of a comfort inn with a price tag of 90 dollars a night rather than 150. It's not worth the price, if you have a car go to a comfort inn and save some money cause got the same experience.
We loved the late night pantry
room service was delicious and fast. Stay was very comfortable. Beautiful large bathroom. Great location.
Room was very clean, overall it is an excellent hotel Parking should be included in price, a little pricey
I like the fact that it is walking distance from the convention center. No parking due to event.
ridiculous that one must pay 25 dollars for parking plus 10 dollars for internet per night
So close to the airport and badly isolated that you can hear the planes in the room! Bad value for money compared to other holtels of similar quality in the area!
clean and quiet
The location was convenient It was dirty and old. Not wat I was expecting. A bit disappointing
The staff was great. Good location. Windows opened a bit.
Front Desk Agent was really nice and tried to help me find a place to go to that evening. Great location, walking distance to downtown hot spots. Saw a cockroach next to the desk. Neighbors were loud all night with slamming doors and loud voices, but that's not the hotel's fault.
I would love to come back. Neat room
Great location and reasonable price for Downtown. Parking cost weren't mentioned prior to booking and was an annoying surprise of $29/day.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Comfortable bed. Great location near Original Joe's downtown.
The staff at the front desk, valet parking and the restaurant were extremely friendly and very professional. The menu at the restaurant seemed expensive, especially for breakfast.
Comfortable room, nice bathroom Expensive parking
Very accomadating and friendly. No gym.
The restaurant happy hour was great. Super Asian food and specostly drinks at a bargain. Rooms and common areas were tasteful and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was quiet and comfortable.
Cute and comfortable hotel, with super friendly and helpful staff. Recommend Mosaic restaurant for happy hour. Perfect downtown location. Could use new carpet and paint in common areas to freshen things up.
The employees were very nice I didn't like that door to the room let air in and it made this annoying noise.
The location of the hotel was awesome. Right in the center of the downtown area. The staff, especially Tim S. was amazing, friendly, checked me in early, gave me star treatment, the room had a great view, was clean, nice amenities. Was a bit old. The hallway carpet was old and dirty as was the room carpet. I didn't park there b/c the lot was more expensive than down the street.
Works great for the price. Nothing fantastic about the venue, but it works. Entry is from the outside (not hallway) but it's not too noisy. Nothing special about the rooms, they're a bit aged, but it's a fine place for the price.
Close to downtown. Found spiders in the room.
Walking distance to some restaurants. No jacuzzi at pool. No towels at pool side. You had to go to front desk to ask for them.
Noisey ice machine right outside my room.
smelled old, horrible floors could here every step from the floor above. when i put the heater on it smelled like burnt dirt. coffee was good.
The breakfast was a good Idea, as well as the microwave, and fridge. Maybe a smile or two from the front desk personel
Good location, close to everything Hotel is very old (1950's) and its age is showing It is like an old hotel you might find in a remote location. They try, but it is old and run down. More like a Econo Lodge kind of place
Easy parking. Walking distance to convention center
The microeave was clean Blood on the bedspread, food remnants under the bed, a colleague's door was found open when he returned at night
Rooms clean; good quality towels and sheets. Building dates from 1960's but has been maintained. Easy walk to convention center and downtown area, Microwave and refrigerator a plus; kids enjoyed the pool. Breakfast options OK. We would do this hotel again. Price very reasonable for location - and about half of the big chains one block away!
The staff was very friendly and Made genuine efforts to recommend restaurants in the surrounding area.
Price, location all excellent. Quality of room compared to advertisement photo accurately. Some street noise, perhaps remodel which was good could have installed sound reducing windows. I was ok however I live with people who would have been annoyed. Outside of room, facility was a bit plain; however, much cheaper than other hotels in area. In my opinion you're getting a champagne light room in a beer facility on a beer budget.
