2015 BMW X3 Review
Those who aren't into BMWs might not even notice at first, but BMW's X3 just got a face lift. Honest. Adrian van Hooydonk's design team has completely redesigned the twin kidney grilles—they now look three-dimensional and is tucked in under the hood—the headlights feature an ever-so-different contour and now come in contact with the grille, and new bumpers front and rear create a more aggressive, angular look. Thank goodness there are functional changes, too—the biggest of which is tucked away out of sight—otherwise this story wouldn't last much past this sentence
Inside, the X3 looks richer, materials-wise, and more expensive—all achieved with a minimum of changes. Luxury manufacturers across the board are putting added emphasis on interior design and materials, and thus, the new X3 receives new chrome accent pieces, new paneling, and coverable cup holders for a less cluttered appearance. The HVAC display has been redesigned, and the optional navigation system has been swapped out for a re-engineered unit. Borrowing a page from the book of Dearborn, BMW has installed a "smart opener" that opens the liftgate with a wave of a foot beneath the rear bumper. The biggest change to the X3 is the introduction of the xDrive28d diesel option, which makes use of the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel that powers the 328d, making 180 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. BMW says that the diesel X3 will be capable of achieving 0-to-60 runs in "just under eight seconds." Also new is the introduction of the sDrive28i rear-drive option, which will serve as the base model and be propelled by the same N20 2.0-liter turbo four making 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque as is found in the model's xDrive28i all-wheel-drive counterpart. That powertrain carries over unchanged, as does the xDrive35i and its 300-hp, 300-lb-ft, N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six.
The 2015 BMW X3 will go on sale this spring, with prices for the sDrive28i starting at $39,325, while opting for xDrive all-wheel drive will add $1400 to the bottom line. Upgrading to the six-cylinder xDrive35i will set shoppers back $45,825, and diesel enthusiasts will be forced to shell out $42,825 for the X3 xDrive28d. The addition of the diesel option will attract fuel misers and introducing a rear-drive base model should make the X3 a more viable option for aspirational customers in the Sunbelt. And appealing to a broader audience can't be anything but positive for BMW, even if it's peddling a familiar face.

As much as I hate HW I've got to say it's not useless because it helps keep your brain flowing.
sometimes, but sometimes I'm bored. I only want homeworks to be plain math (solving problems no research needed!)
well homeworks helps u if u understands wat the teacher said be4 and u can then study it for the exams if u have somes
Woah~ Been a while since ive been to crunchyroll O.o
mmm... nope, its not useless , sometimes i do the homeworks during class when i finish all the practices while te other ones are still not finishing or when the teacher is teaching (lol) something that i've already know and its boring.
Homework is only useless if you already know the material. Ultimately, homework is there to help you figure out the current material on your own ('cause we do get spoon fed too much in the classroom, especially in high school), to increase proficiency on the subject through practice, and to help discipline ourselves into improving our work ethic.

How ironic is it that I only care about the things that school DOESN'T teach us?
Like in-depth U.S. or Asian history.
Japanese language.
Seriously, who wants to learn German or French? (No offense)
First off, the indepth stuff comes later in high school and then continue in college. Some urban schools will teach Asian languages, Arabic, Russian and Latin, but these are in urban areas, again, that already have many bilingual students and they need to provide more challenging languages. Most US public schools teach French, Italian, Spanish and German because most of modern English is built on these languages. They help you comprehend your own language more. Culture studies are electives in later grades of high school and college. If your school isn't teaching music in anyform...well damn, your district sucks. I know alot of schools are dropping it, but they haven't in NY, and it's really a matter of the budget. Most school boards will choose sport over the arts, if they need to decide what to keep. If you don't have music in your school, blame the people voting against the school budget and the knuckle heads that decided that athletics are more important than creative thinking.
You're also young, so I'm telling you right now: at 14, your education is really only just beginning. Be patient or work harder to get in more advanced classes. If your school really is just that bad, try telling your parents that you want a better education. There are after school programs and private schools you can easily look into.
To get what you want, better keep what you have.
No. :| It honestly helps a lot.
Quite clearly addicted
I think huge amounts are pointless.
if the teacher taught it right:yes, got your mind seeing the patterns to help you fill in the blanks and know the next step. if they were lousy at it: didn't matter, still impossible. this was before i had the internet.
dont question my smile
If it doesn't help, then it is pointless. For all other cases, homework is like a painful necessity for successful learning.
So basically, if it involves stupid questions like "okay calculus students, what is 5 + 2?" then it's pointless and retarded.
But if it involves questions like "using equation 42, calculate the [complicated science term here]," then it may be difficult, but it would still be worth doing anyways.
Also, protip: teachers often use homework problems in their tests, with only a few small changes (if any) to the question.
If I had a penny for every time I had a dollar, I'd have a lot of potatoes.
To read the first post, and witness its illiterate gibberishness. That's apparently what I came here to do. As for the response, do your homework, twice..... It might help.
A narrative has power, even when its hero is a dirty rodent carrying the plague.
I did not mind the homework, it was the test that I hated the most. I can do homework all day, heck I do not care if they are essays, I just did not want to take tests.
That Frolein is One Goofy Cat.
Its useless. U get stress, then u get sick, then u die. XD

i feel like i get more outta homework then tests... tests u cram then dump after wards... homework you do multiple times so it naturally gets learned,long term.
homework actually is some sort of 'reminder' of the lesson we just had for me.
but too much homework is just pure evil.
Dulce, Mimmy. Create one more stupidity here and I'll hate you 2. I'm serious.

Fire rookie Shipp earns Player of the Week honor - May 12, 2014
New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Chicago Fire rookie midfielder Harrison Shipp was named the Player of the Week on Monday for Week 10 of the 2014 Major League Soccer season.
Shipp netted his first career hat trick and recorded an assist Saturday night, helping the Fire earn their first win of the season -- a 5-4 victory against the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena.
Shipp opened the scoring in the fourth minute when he sent a right-footed shot from outside the box past Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles.
He then gave the Fire a 3-2 lead in the 53rd minute and completed his hat trick five minutes later when he disposed Red Bulls defender Kosuke Kimura, dribbled into the box and slid his third goal of the game past Robles.
The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season by a panel of journalists from the North America Soccer Reporters (NASR). The group consists of members of print, television, radio and online media.

Acute bronchitis is swelling and inflammation of the main air passages to the lungs. This swelling narrows the airways, making it harder to breathe and causing other symptoms, such as a cough. Acute means the symptoms have only been present for a short time.
Acute bronchitis almost always follows a cold or flu-like infection. The infection is caused by a virus. At first, it affects your nose, sinuses, and throat. Then it spreads to the airways leading to your lungs.
Sometimes, bacteria also infect the airways. This is called a secondary infection.
Chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition. To be diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, you must have a cough with mucus most days of the month for at least 3 months.
The symptoms of acute bronchitis may include:
Even after acute bronchitis has cleared, you may have a dry, nagging cough that lingers for 1 to 4 weeks.
At times, it may be hard to know whether you have pneumonia or only bronchitis. If you have pneumonia, you are more likely to have a high fever and chills, feel sicker, or feel short of breath.
The health care provider will listen to your lungs with a stethoscope. Abnormal, coarse breathing sounds may be heard.
Tests may include:
Most people DO NOT need antibiotics for acute bronchitis. The infection will almost always go away on its own within 1 week. Take the following steps to get relief:
Certain medicines that you can buy without a prescription can help break up or loosen mucus. Look for the word "guaifenesin" on the label.
If your symptoms do not improve, your doctor may prescribe an inhaler to open your airways if you are wheezing.
Sometimes, bacteria may also infect the airways along with the virus. If your doctor thinks this has happened, you may be prescribed antibiotics.
Other tips include:
Symptoms usually go away in 7 to 10 days if you do not have a lung disorder. However, a dry, hacking cough can linger for a number of months.
Call your doctor if:

Brevard, N.C. – A three-run 8th inning propelled visiting King College over Brevard, 3-2, Tuesday afternoon at Gil Coan Field. The Tornados (5-6, 0-3 South Atlantic Conference) have lost five games in a row after winning five of their first six.
Jacob White (0-2; Elkin, N.C.) threw 7 1/3 solid innings but took the loss, falling victim to an unproductive offense and defensive miscues in the fateful 8th. The sophomore allowed seven hits and three runs (two earned) while striking out six. He issued no walks. On a staff day for King (8-2), Jacob Snyder (1-0; Maryville, Tenn.) pitched the 7th inning and picked up the win. Tyler Joyce (Kingsport, Tenn.) recorded the final two outs for King and picked up his fifth save.
Brevard struck first in the bottom of the 1st off of King starter Hunter Newby (Knoxville, Tenn.) Brice Warner (Clover, S.C.) led off the frame with a walk. Three batters later, Stephen Mullis (Charlotte, N.C.) doubled to right center, scoring Warner and putting Brevard up, 1-0.
The final Brevard run came in the 5th frame, with Danny Williamson (Middleburg, Fla.) pitching. With runners at the corners and two out, Matthew Pruitt (Hendersonville, N.C.) lined a hit to centerfield, scoring Kellen Moman (Greenville, S.C.) to double the Brevard lead.
All of King's runs came in the 8th. Wes Lane (Kingsport, Tenn.) led off the inning with a single, and Ryan Kennedy (Elizabethton, Tenn.) reached on an error by William Scholer (Norwalk, Iowa). Nick Belcher (Abingdon, Va.) loaded the bases with a bunt single, and Bart Roark (Mountain City, Tenn.) put King on the board with an RBI groundout, scoring Lane. The next batter, Matt Morris (Sweetwater, Tenn.) lined a ball toward Moman in left field. The freshman misjudged the ball, allowing it to land over his head. Two runs scored on the double, and the road squad led, 3-2.
Brevard threatened but did not score in the 9th. With one out, Scholer reached base with a single. After Joyce replaced Tyler Malone (Abingdon, Va.), Josh Miller (Hendersonville, N.C.) drew a walk. Scholer advanced to third on a fly out from Moman, but with runners on the corners and two out, Warner grounded out to Belcher, who made a terrific charging play at third, to end the game.
Jackie Corn (Hendersonville, N.C.) had Brevard's lone two-hit day, while Warner drew three walks.
Brevard plays another midweek game Thursday at Anderson. Game time is set for 3 p.m. King hosts Bryan Friday at 4 p.m. in their Appalachian Athletic Conference opener.

Salk Service Awards Ceremony Honors More Than 140 Staff Members During Luncheon
The Institute hosted its first ever Salk Service Awards Ceremony in honor of more than 140 staff members who had achieved between 10 and 45 years of employment. The Sept. 9 luncheon took place at the Institute where President Bill Brody, Academic Council Chair Greg Lemke and Master of Ceremonies Walter Eckhart thanked those in attendance for their hard work over the years.
"Our strength is the dedicated service of all of you," Brody said. "You are the reason why Salk is so successful."
Lemke spoke about non-academic departments at the Institute and gave examples of how each contributed to research before saying: "It takes more than the cadre of scientists to reach the level of our success. It takes the work of a broader group of people who are represented here today."
After the luncheon each of those being honored were called by name and invited to the stage where they were photographed with Brody and Lemke. The Hypotheticals, a singing group composed of Salk employees and scientists, provided comical entertainment with spoofs of television show tunes from the decade in which each group of honorees began their employment at Salk.
The ceremony, which will be an annual event moving forward, concluded near the Institute's Theodore Gildred Court, where Executive Vice President Marsha Chandler unveiled a series of red bricks that had been engraved with the names of those who had achieved 25 years or more of service.
"This is a new tradition to honor those of you who have served the majority of your careers at Salk," Chandler said. "The names engraved on these bricks represent a truly special group. They are members of the Salk family who have shown steadfast dedication to your work and to the Salk Institute, and for that we thank you."

U.S. Attorney Investigating Fox News Donated to Obama
The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen - the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News - is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit:
Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama's campaigns. He gave $250 to Obama's U.S. Senate campaign in 2003, a year before Obama, then an Illinois state senator, emerged on the nation's political radar, according to campaign finance records.
Furthermore, in June of 2012, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) questioned Attorney General Eric Holder about the appointment of Mr. Machen to head-up the leaks investigation. During the questioning Sen. Cornyn revealed that not only was Machen a donor to the Obama campaign, he was also a volunteer for Obama for America. Cornyn called into question whether he could conduct the leaks investigation in a fair and non-partisan way.

POLITICAL LANGUAGE: Words are often manipulated to make us feel, act, or vote a certain way. Evaluat
August 16, 2008Words are the most important tool in the service of a democratic government and its political system and they are often manipulated to make us feel, act, or vote a certain way; words are a means of controlling the public's perception of government or political initiatives. For example, the Tax Simplification Act of 1993 ran hundreds of pages with section titles like "Diminimis Exception to Passive Loss Rules. The Job Creation and Wage Enhancement Act of 1995 was actually a cost-benefit analysis to limit new regulations. A group called Northwesterners for More Fish were not intending, "as its name suggests, to protect the area's dwindling salmon populations, but to uphold the complex of hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River blamed for decimating salmon numbers" (High Country News). Efforts to limit welfare have been titled the Work Opportunity Act, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, and the Family Self-Sufficiency Act. Public Citizen called the Common Sense Product Liability Reform bill the "Death to Americans Act" because "The legislation is based on a complete set of myths and phony anecdotes about lawsuits." Being a good citizen means analyzing every word that comes from politicians, elected officials, and government representatives for the truth. It is helpful to consider: who is saying it, what do they have to gain by persuading you this way or that way, where did they obtain their information, what is being left out of the picture, and what might "the other side" say? Be aware of how political language makes you feel. Feeling optimistic, pessimistic, triumphant, hopeless, or patriotic is not a good way to judge the truth of what you hear ("That must be right because it makes me want to stand tall as an American!"). Evaluating political language needs not feeling, but thinking.

Too small
I love the iPad-centric room controls. Great selection of newly released movies. Comfortable bed with a great TV setup. Temperature controls don't work very well - the room gets very cold at night even though I set the temperature to 70 Fahrenheit. The toilet and shower design are fun and just fine for a single traveler. When traveling with a partner, there "tube" designs dont provide any privacy, especially for the toilet. Perhaps adding a fan or some ambient noise to drown out toilet noises could help keep the mood romantic, hahaha!
Bed was very comfortable. Very avant-garde. Mood lights, TV, everything can be controlled by the in room iPad. Bar and areas downstairs provide all kinds of environments for different people and activities. Buffet was good and reasonable. Charging 3 euro to use a major credit card.
We spent a night here in transit between Brussels and Den Haag. Walking distance from Schiphol Plaza. Self check-in and check-out feature was very convenient. Room decor was modern. All room light/tv/blinds were controlled with an ipad. WiFi was great. TV had a good selection of channels (for us- we watched comedy central). We got to store our luggage for a few hours after checking out which was extremely convenient. Hotel manager was excellent. There was a leak with our shower, which actually made it unclear how the thing worked! So we wasted almost an hour in the morning. The hotel manager was EXTREMELY helpful... wish we'd asked him for assistance immediately!
Efficiency, comfort. nothing. it was perfect.
The check in time No place for suitcase
Free TV & Movies Shower & Toilet in the room with transparent enclosure - not for the shy.
A good idea for an airport hotel. Almost like a hostel. Real service even though there is simplified check in and check out. Well thought out room and superior amenities on the main floor. I recommend this for an surprised overnight. No provision for luggage.
Very nice shower. Clean, trendy room. Very unique. Room was small. Room Controls for lights, heat, etc did not work well.
Clean comfy room, great common areas, makes you feel at home. Will definitely stay here again. 5 minute walk to the airport, no need for taxi or shuttle
friendly staff, convenient location and airport shuttle take away store very expensive, 1.5 bottled water which costs around 1 or 2 euros at a convenient store was 5 euros
Very clean. Free shuttle bus to airport. But next time I will pay more to stay in airport. In this case the hotels closer to the airport were all more than 200 Euro, which for me for a transit stay doesn't make sense. Typical transit hotel with transit atmosphere. They even have a cheaper option next door for 49 Euro
Nice clean reasonable hotel. Recommended it.
shuttle service to airport
Location is ok. About 10 min from airport, and short walk to bus station to go into town. Thin walls and very noisy all night. No air conditioning, was sweating all night. No mini fridge.
I had allergy problems in this hotel and I could hardly breathe. There was also a mouldy mell in the air, I assume that was my problem.
Very easy check in and wonderful staff. Good shuttle service.. Poor service in restaurant. Young and not well trained staff. Good food though and reasonable prices
I like simple modern decor, however this was a bit to basic, Th staff was courteous and check-in was fast. The hotel was only 10 minutes away by free shuttle bus from the airport, and we did not need to wait longer then 5-10 minutes each way for the shuttle. We paid over $200 for a triple room, however, what we received was a "converted" double room. They removed the narrow desk at the window and the bedside table, and instead squeezed in an extra bed. The double room was already very small and basic, but with this change it was really uncomfortable. The two single beds that were pushed together to make a "double" (with an uncomfortable crack in between) was only separated by about a 15 cm gap from the single bed, not allowing to fit two legs side by side, therefore you had to shuffle in sideways to get to the bed. The only electric outlets were above this third bed, so since there were no desks or tables, the overnight charging of the ipads and phones could only happen on the bed, making it very uncomfortable to sleep next to it. In addition, the bathroom light could only be turned on with the entrance light, therefore if someone wants to go out to the bathroom, has to disturb everyone in the room with the light. A dim nightlight in the bathroom would be a welcome change. In addition, the restaurant at the 4th floor had a poor decor and mediocre food, and at 60 Euros for two main courses and a desert and water I think it is really overpriced. My lamb was likely over its teenage years, and my boys did not care for the hamburger meat either, although they usually love it.
one of the cleanest hotels i've ever stayed in!!! staff was very friendly and helpful. will definitely go back!!
Omg they were doing a contruction at the front so much noises
Quiet hotel, even though so close to airport
It was fine for the overlay in our travels. Our room was very basic, no frills. Close to the airport.
very well
Breakfast-wonderful! Front desk staff attitude. Stayed there >5 times. Never had staff refer to my being a regular customer. I had just arrived from a long flight and had to wait in foyer for a room. Too much luggage to safely carry 'down' to storage area myself. Staff wouldn't hold even one piece behind the counter. I was a woman travelling alone so not at all considerate as I couldn't even visit the bathroom! Staff also eager to suggest only most expensive suites available when this was not strictly true, on a previous stay with no prior booking. Good reason to book before going! Other than one male front desk staff, most times front desk staff seemed high-handed and rather unfriendly. Shame because hotel is convenient and the food is great!
Good price- bus to airport was very convenient and free. Good deal for price. Hotel hallways (and to some extent the room) smelled like weed and cigarettes. Budget rooms were very outdated and didn't feel very clean.
quality of your dining facilities and quality iof the food
Restaurant was very good, bar staff very attentive, facilities very clean. Outstanding Not a thing
Free shuttle to the airport. The rug was stained and one of the upholstered chair was soiled. Also, no coffee pot or supplies in the room.
convenient to airport - lovely dining room and delicious food. it was a little further from the airport than we thought and we were very isolated.
The food in the restaurant, the wonderful and welcoming open fire and the very high standard of interior design which was very stylish. We have stayed at this hotel over 20 times both on business and pleasure and love it. Despite this however the Manager was unable to offer any form of refund when we explained our Son and his friends would not be joining us for his 18th Birthday weekend as Birmingham Airport had been closed and all flights cancelled. a little understanding would have softened the blow as we were all devastated, especially as his Grandmother, to whom he was very close had died 4 weeks earlier and we were all really looking forward to a wonderful break.This lack of flexibility is my only critisism of what is otherwise an excellent hotel.
I was impressed by the level of service from the personnel. I had forgotten my BB in the hotel , so I called in five minutes they called me back to say that they had found it.
The Quad rooms are really huge and very comfortable. More than sufficient for our family of 2A and 3 C. The free bus shuttle between the hotel and airport is very convenient and runs on time. Reception staff were very helpful. They let me use their PC and allowed me to take a few pages printout. Rooms had no kettle. The walk from reception to the rooms using two separate lifts was a bit tiresome. No help from the hotel for this.
After encountering one of Europe's worst heat waves, this was a pleasant surprise. The a/c was ice cold; the rooms were perfect for my family (individual beds); breakfast was more than adequate; and the hotel's restaurant had excellent dishes. I sincerely enjoyed my three day stay. I will come again.
We stayed here two days(not consecutive) and the hotel was very nice! The first night we stayed we had a great room, it must have just been re done. The bathroom was amazing with a huge tub and a separate shower with a rainfall shower head! The room was huge and very clean! It was decorated very nicely! The staff was very nice and helpful! There was a balcony which was a plus. They had a shuttle that took you to and from the airport which was very convienent because the hotel is definitely in the middle of no where! If your looking for a place to experience Amsterdam this would not be it! The hotel is basically in the middle of no where but they do have a shuttle that runs every 40 minutes that takes you to the airport where you can get on the train and be down to Amsterdam in about 20 min. The first time we stayed here we had a great room, it was beautiful! The second time we stayed there the room was much less then what we were expecting! There wasn't anything wrong with it but I guess we just got out in the older part of the hotel that time!
Shuttle service was well organized and worked well Dining here is very expensive and service for dinner was 'if you must I will'
Buffet breakfast included. Evening dinner selection is limited but still ok. Rooms very comfortable and clean. Shuttle bus to airport is quick, approx 10 mins to airport Limited dinner menu. Shower water pressure not good. Shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes so check timing to make sure you make it to the airport on time. Shuttle bus pick up is separate from other hotels. Pick up at STA office near Starbucks arrival 4 section. Not a criticism but not obvious location.
New feel Great breakfast Shuttle on time
My room was cleaned at 5pm instead of in the morning
quick and good 24h check-in service
I liked how clean and new it was. Could not get it warm enough in the room. It seems that the temperature gage only goes to a certain point. Being a new facility you probably still have some bugs to work out. I was called by misstake at 10PM and it woke me up. I had ordered a wake up call at 6:30AM but newer got a call.
I booked 7 rooms this week and from all persons I learned that this hotel is very noisy, two guests did change rooms, one of them was on top floor and he wrote me that this was a good room. Most of the guests will not return to this hotel.
Efficient check-in, free shuttle bus and peaceful location not far from Amsterdam center. We can't think of anything not to like.
Location to airport Limited menu, Breakfast food not very good
Room was good, staff and facilies were fine for short stay requirements of an airpor hotel.
Clean, new and good value its not close to the airport, 10 - 15 minutes by shuttle bus
Spacious rooms, good breakfast, good location, free parking The hotel has newly opened. They were finishing decoration all those days I stayed there.
Nothing Everything
Room was clean Service was poor. They would not take a new guest in until exactly 2 pm when they had limited rooms clean even then due likely to slow or poor cleaning service staff. When checking out, the front desk assigned one person to all check outs (who was a good employee) though others on the front desk appeared to be doing nothing or certainly nothing as important than serving guests.
There is nothing special about this hotel, it´s one of those faceless places to stay. Stuff! At the front dest, 3 out of 4 receptionist seemed my arrival bothered them, because they had to stand up and do their job. They didnt have my reservation in their system, luckily free room was available. Without a word one made reservation and asked for my card. I didnt get usual: checkout time, parking fee, room service, breakfast served from till,...etc. Lack of communication skills described it pretty enought. Shortly after check in, I found out, I was charged extra 70 euros on top of what I was supposed to pay for no reason, at least I was not explained till this day.
Neat Room, Toiletteries, Comfortable, Airport shuttle facility Staff could be more polite and helpful, Basic amenities like TV and internet should be part of the room rent and not charged extra.
Clean and spacious Things felt a little cheaply made.
room size too long to get to central amsterdam. always shuttle and then train from airport to central. need train near hotel. also shuttle shuts off after 12 so I had to pay cab fare twice. also breakfast is super expensive.
Wonderful facility. Expensive food.
great value for money
Beds we SO comfortable! Hotel food and drinks were quite expensive.
I left my purse in the restaurant during breakfast. My husband ran back to get it 2 hours later, the waiter remembered him and had my purse safe and sound with everything in it. He was very nice!!!
Ease of travelling to airport, friendly staff, Professional staff, clean rooms! Wish the breakfast buffet wasn't so pricey
Wonderful airport hotel. Close to airport, with frequent shuttles to and from the airport. Very convenient for the night before we left!
The shuttle service when it was on schedule and could transport everyone desiring a ride to/from hotel to airport terminals and the few staff that were on duty ...usually weekdays Spotty shuttle service on Weekends due to mismanaging the requirement to transport many guests. I waited 90 minutes for the shuttle that transports folks every 30 minutes and after the third missed shuttle because there were more folks than seats, I spent 30$ on a taxi to "shuttle" me a few miles to the airport hotel....all this after calling them and they said they'd provide a ride - never happened so that's how I waited 90 minutes versus half that time before taking a taxi ....seemed understaffed
We was staying in the family room, it coat a lot, but you get comfort. It was two rooms inside one, we have separate toilet and bath. We didn't take breakfast because we didn't have time, but it is really expensive. We use sauna it was nice after long trip.
Walking distance to Schiphol airport For lack of time, I decided to choose a Sheraton. Exceptionally so, because I've had quite bad experiences with that chain. This hotel, however, was OK as far as I can tell.
location was great. staff was very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make things most comfortable for my stay.
how convient it is. the maid service was poor. they did not remove the plates, or tray from room service. They are also too anxious to get in.
Staff is very couretous and efficient. Make you feel very welcome.
easy to access from the airport and center of the city, reasonable room charge. no free space in refrigerator
five minutes walk from terminal clean, modern, comfortable easy trip into Amsterday mattress too soft stall shower very tiny and congested
I loved not having to leave the airport but did feel that the room was overpriced.
Proximity to the terminal perfect I miss a water kettle and coffee tea in the room. Coffee station on the floor is nice but I prefer my own. Hilton for the win on that one with a nespresso machine in each room.
great beds
Rooms a little small for the price, compared to other rooms I have used (worldwide). However, easy access to the airport, for me as in transit over the night, brought some value to the price. Also, several of the TV channels were not operative. Too bad for a hotel in thic class.
it is convenient to ariport and train station, nice & clean and staff are friendly & helpful.
Easy check in and easy to use shuttle to and from the airport. Nice lobby and restaurant. Room was nice, standard. Good value, I would stay here again. McDonald's restaurant a block away, but nothing else. Bathroom not 100% clean, but good enough.
close ot the airport very basic
It stayed there just for the night as I had an early flight from the airport the next morning. For that purpose the hotel is fine. The shower was not usable as the pipe was completely broken down so I could not fresh up in the morning. I complained at the reception, but they didn't seem to take me serious at all. This seems to happen more often in this hotel. I'll use another hotel at the airport not next occasions.
beeakfast was excellent. room was spotless. walls are paper thin. rude people woke me knockking on their friends door 3 doors down at 2:30 am. it sounded like they might be knocking on my door. their noise continued for over an hour and destroyed my nights sleep.
the shuttle to the airport was nice My refrigerator in the room did not work and they did not have an ice machine. The airport hotel really wasn't close to the airport. The airport shuttle did not run passed 11:30 pm.
Nice room for a good price. Free shuttle to Schiphol made it easy to get to the airport. It's location made it a bit of a process to get to downtown Amsterdam, but it wasn't too bad.
Easy access to airport Arrived after a very long travel day. Staff was unfriendly, room was fine but sterile.
Noise from aircraft
Clean Uncomfortable bed and the wifi only had a good signal in the lobby. I had a room on the 3rd floor and could not get any reception in my room which was very frustrating
The morning breakfast was good with a nice woman offering to cook fresh omelettes. The indoor pool and gym were nice. The mattress and pillows were comfortable. Good shuttle service. The staff other than the woman at breakfast were curt to the point of rudeness. The rooms were outdated and not very clean. The rugs had stains and the bathtub was dirty. The overall feel of the room was univiting. The picture was of some sort of rusting metal object. Lots of flickering fluorescent lights in the hall and in the room. Very expensive for the poor quality. My family of four all thought it was hotel in need of a significant remodel and managerial improvement. Best Western should not put their brand on this hotel until it improves.
Close to airport The air conditioning would not turn on unless it was warmer than 18 C outside. This is some weird Dutch cheap money saving tactic that keeps guests warm or outright hot, and at the mercy of what it's doing outside. I paid for the room. Let me control the thermostat.
Rooms were large and king sized beds were comfortable. I particularly liked the exclusive brand of toiletries provided, especially the body lotion. It was heavenly. The location meant that there was literally nothing nearby. But if you take the bus to the airport, then there were more options.
the breakfast buffet was limited in choice
Breakfast was awesome! Very good food and clean. The room was very spacious and gym was clean.
Free Wifi, very friendly and accomodating staff
-Nice hotel with a clean room, comfortable bed, and well-appointed bathroom. -The breakfast spread(not always included in the price, I understood) was very good. -The shuttle service is convenient (if you can find seat in one TO the hotel, that is; no problems FROM the hotel to airport). This is important because there is nothing, literally nothing, near the hotel and it is about 15 minutes ride to/from the airport. The restaurant was good but has practically no options for a vegetarian meal (surprising since vegetarian choices appear to be becoming quite common at most good Dutch restaurants). The front-desk staff was generally polite and responsive. -They share the shuttle service with another hotel AND a few parking lots. As a result, there is always a large crowd waiting at the airport. The problem was further exacerbated by one of the shuttles being a small van. -The driver of the shuttle (the large one) on the day of my arrival was extremely rude--he shut the door in the face of a young lady who was trying to enquire about when the shuttle was supposed to leave the hotel It didn't and took the Etihad crew to the airport instead). I felt bad enough about it that I went back into the hotel and reported this to the front desk (the Manager was "not available" to speak with me); have no idea what, if any action was taken against the driver. -The next morning, the hot water heater was not working, making it impossible for the guests, many of whom had to catch morning flights, to take showers.
Used the 24/7 Business Center - easy to use also late in the evening Missed one bus dep. as I did not know that it leaves from the lower level and not from the Reception level - this should be better communicated
Accommodating front desk and housekeeping quickly removed feathers from room. Large towels and v clean and bright Not really a negative just common sense - allow plenty of time for airport shuttle particularly in morning - up to an hour. Could take less time but not worth stressing particularly if flying to USA with additional security clearances.
the atmosphere
peaceful and quite..excellent breakfast and shuttle service from airport
Good service, very nice free breakfast! Very helpful with lost luggage at airport Stay was not long enough!
The staff are extremely courteous and professional. The free shuttle service to and from the airport is a very useful and efficient service. A very quite and scenic location and Amsterdam Central is relatively a short train ride. A minor criticism is that the TV is not flat screen.
nice bed, good internet, nice corridor decoration, good fruit and bread option for buffet breakfast television is not LCD monitor, breakfast: no live cooking for omelette
It was close to airport and the staff was helpful. It was clean. Loved the tea service. The lobby was pretty. Main thing for me was it was clean. I will pay more next time. The room didn't look like the pictures. I think you can upgrade to the newer rooms. Our room had stains on carpet and chairs and walls were scuffed up. I would say it was a 3 star hotel.
Hotel is very clean and close to airport. Hotel staff very, very friendly .
Information about material facilities(for example -sport centre etc.)
Proximity to Airport Staff forgetting to give voucher for shuttlebus resulting in pushy bus driver and wasted time..and €19 for breakfast when I just wanted small fruit? Far too expensive so no breakfast
The staff were quite curtious and pleasant. No delays accessing the room nor upon departure.
friendly helpful stuff , nice clean room everything very much ok ----
Great Price, modern, free airport shuttle, friendly staff. A bit far away from downtown, but that is not why one would stay at an airport hotel.
Great staff. Excellent breakfast. Clean, spacious common area Clean room - plenty of light and outlets Limited dinner menu - tho good food.
The bathrom was dirty with hair on the floor. Used soap in shower. Advertized free local calls and free wifi but was charged for both, for $200!
I like the big size of everything Distance from airport and distance from city center
location Could not open a window to get fresh air and air conditioning was not really adequate.
staff service food
good position,bath and shower and separate toilet good no mini bar or air conditioning.Breakfast not always organised well.
Twin beds pushed together for a double, but were comfortable. Room was clean, staff helpful. We stay here once a year as we attend a fuction in the area. Each time we leave after work and arrive just about 10:00 pm. The restaurant next door to the hotel closes at 10:00. There is no restaurant in the hotel for dinner. There is no restaurant anywhere else near the hotel either. We drove around for 45 minutes and finally found a small kabob place and a pub. With all the businesses and backing up to a large residential area, we were surprised that there was absolutely nothing in the area in the way of restaurant, market or even a McDonalds. The bar in the hotel is open until 1:00 am. If you intend to arrive after 9:00 pm, make sure you have stopped to eat before you arrive.
The room is clean and wanderful. nothing.
pleasant staff very comfortable room it was nice and warm excellent breakfast, no
The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are clean. far from city centre
Friendly staff, early check in possibility
Close to the airport
There are many choice of breakfast. We were very comfortable to sleep.
While it's a half hour ride into Amsterdam, the hotel provides a bucolic respite from the hustle of the city and offers significant value.
Room was in need of renovation. Wallpaper peeling, stained carpet, door between rooms did not close and no control over heating.
The shuttle service from the airport was free and efficient. Staff were friendlly and responsive. Room was clean and comfortable without any excessive noise. There was a nice restaurant and bar. Only that our room originally didn't have a door to the bathroom, they did change us to a room with a door after we asked. At first we thought maybe this was normal in Amsterdam but it seemed a bit primitive to have no way of containing the various sights and smells. it was rather strange to be given this type of facility without any warning.
I stayed at the Dorint hotel on the 21 of this month(may 2015) anf it has been by far the worst experience i have ever had! I have stayed there before and i had no complains overall, but this time, there was a person in the recception that treated me really badly with no reason, i was staring at him thinking how come this person works here? I wrote down his name(Victor Brokke) and i wanted to talk with the manager but i had no time because i had an early flight and i was kind of late, too diferent than the morning recepcionist that was so nice and professional, when she asked me how was my experience i told hee about the missunderstanding that happent that night and she said she would take care of it. Really, they lost a customer, i travel to the netherlands at least 3 time a year and i love staying in hotels close to Schiphol because of the facilities such as close to amsterdam and also shuttles to the airport. What they dont realized i think is there is over 50 hotels in that area, and the Dorint isnt going to be one that me, relatives or friends are going to stay in.
The hotel is an excellent value for the price. The room my wife and I had was clean and quiet. We thought the restaurant was overpriced but the location is within walking distance of a wonderful small town where the people were very friendly and an Italian restaurant and grocery store very close. The bus to the airport was on time but sometimes crowded. Overall we would stay there anytime we are at Amsterdam airport.
The service and attitude of all personal from desk to dining room was very friendly and accomidating
staff were kind I had to change hotels because their wifi was so bad. Stayed at the Park Plaza, much better offer
Very convient for getting to the airport, regular shuttle ran between the hotel and airport all day long. Room very modern, spacious and quite after staying in the old part of Amsterdam for a week. Nice restaurant, had a good dinner but breakfast was a 15E buffet, no other choice, expensive but good.
Front desk staff very helpful. Extended my stay twice and never a problem to keep the same room. A short walk into the town adjacent. Rooms were in good shape. It was very convenient as I was taking some courses at Schipol. Shuttle service. The bus was packed when it finally arrived after I waited 52 minutes at the airport. There was a crowd awaiting to get on. I did manage to get on but not everyone who wanted to was able, This shuttle serves the Ibis budget, the Ibis and the Dorint hotels So you get 1 and 2 star shuttle service to a 4 star hotel. The bus did go directly to the Dorint, but I was the only one to get off there. A 4 star hotel needs to offer 4 star service throughout all its services.
Wonderful staff, great food, great room No ramp to roll luggage up, had to drag it up the stairs
Booked room for $75 after missing flight. Shuttle was provided at the airport. Was very clean and nice for the price. Staff was friendly except for shuttle driver. Nice looking pool, sauna and steam room. Restaurant staff was nice. Shuttle driver was rude on the way to the hotel. Restaurant was expensive $15 for hamburger. Had to wait till exactly 2 pm to check in they wouldn't check us in 10 minutes early.
The hotel was very clean and the room was amazing, worth the money! The staff is very rude and unprofessional. It is so bad that despite the hotel being clean and well kept it isn't worth the stay.
Very unfair !! Caution price is not right that the only parking 17.5 euros !! Small room not recommended at all !
It was cheap and near the airport with a shuttle Small rooms, the bathroom was not very clean, minimal amenities
Great location, close to airport as well as only a short transit ride to downtown. Can't stress how helpful the complimentary ride to and from the airport was. Would definitely stay there again. No resturant in budget but regular ibis hotel right next door with everything you could need. No resturants nearby other than one in the next door hotel and a McDonald's across the street. Room was a tad small but definitely manageable.
Close to the airport and free shuttle to and from the airport. This hotel caters to families - there were numerous children running and screaming in the hallways at all hours. I was a single adult, and requested a quiet room because I had to get up at 4:00 am for a flight. They put me right next to the elevator, and on the other side was a room with 2 unsupervised children. It was a terrible night - and frankly the 'budget' price wasn't really very budget. Not worth the money, and I would not recommend it. Next time I want a night like this, I'll sleep on a bench IN the airport, for free.
Room very nice and staff pleasent.Renovation work outside the hotel still in progress but when finished this hotel will be very nice.Very good location for park and fly.Very nice restaurant opposite hotel and the hotel also have nice restaurant so something to choose between..
Very nice rooms and helpful staff
Clean. Location Unfriendly, unwelcoming front desk person. Maybe she doesn't like Americans.
The room is not very bad I didn´t like it. The location and accessibility are horrible: bus, train; The staff can drive you to airport to get a train but it was expensive.
Good service, nice breakfast restaurant. There is no lift. Only 2 floors tall so not a major problem. Naturally because of its location there is some aircraft noise.
very nice room and canal view everything was perfect
clean and convenient
The room was clean and the staff were very accommodating. Our flight did not leave until 7 in the evening and they let us stay in the room without any extra cost.
Possibility of free carparking arrangement
the hotel linen was good quality and changed every day. the rooms were clean and comfortable. the airport transfers were reasonably frequent but we weren't given accurate times so were left waiting for long periods of time. every time you asked when the bus was coming you were told 10 - 15 mins but one occasion we waited over 40 mins in the cold and rain late at night.
Airport shuttle N/A
Service was extremely slow due to min. Staff.
It was a quick place to come to from the airport the free shuttle was a plus and I took advantage of it the 2 nights I was there! The hotel was super clean except I found a condom on the ground what the bed moved a little! Also I didn't like the single beds wish they had one big bed instead
The stAff lacked professionalism. The hotel was mediocre at best. We never ate there. The shuttle service was good. They did not resupply the room each day. The amenities were barely acceptable. The overall experience was barely acceptable. There is a musty smell in the hallways. there was a big blob of hair in a towel when I finally got a fresh one

This is the air purifier that uses patented filter technology to remove odors and airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The nano-scale material in the filter, if laid flat, would have the surface area of two badminton courts, helping it capture more than 99% of micron-sized organic particles in a room. The purifier breaks down molecules that carry odor or bear VOCs, the toxic airborne chemicals emitted by many common household synthetics such as carpets, varnishes, and cleaning agents. A numeric display indicates the level of VOCs present and continues to count down as the air purifier removes them; a colored LED provides an indicator of air quality at a glance. The four-speed fan includes a silent mode for quietest operation. For rooms up to 150' sq. Patented filter lasts three years and is easy to replace; the pre-filter is washable. Plugs into AC. 13" H x 6" Diam. (4 lbs.)

I will buy this again.
By Librarian

I have a lot of problems with allergies and chemical sensitivities. I bought this to replace an old air cleaner in my bedroom. I am amazed at how much cleaner the air is. I'm buying more for other rooms in my house.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It works.
By Paige
from Orlando, FL
We bought some furniture for my son's bedroom and at the time I did not know what "outgassing" was. I do now. I looked at several fans and the only reason I ended up with this one was the price was in the neighborhood of what I wanted and in the comments on the product website there was someone who had a so so review ... Hammacher Schlemmer responded to the reviewer with suggestions and willingness to accept the product back. I thought that was great customer service and if I needed anything in regards to my purchase I felt they would do the right thing by me. The best feature of the fan for me is the display that shows the level of VOCs present. I cart it from room to room to check levels in the house before returning to my son's room. And BTW I will never buy another piece of furniture that will outgas.

Not as good as I had hoped
By Sailor Lisa
from St. Petersburg, FL
I bought this unit to remove the "new boat smell" that was pervasive in our newly delivered sailboat. It helped somewhat with the odors, but I don't think that it's helping with the VOCs which is why I bought it. Upon entering the boat after it's been closed up with the air filter running for more than 24 hours, I find that my eyes still burn from the VOCs in the air. The smell is a little better, though.Also, it does NOT turn back on when power is lost. And it is not obvious how to use it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. If the filter or pre-filter is not securely installed, the unit will stop working. If you are ever disappointed with a product - for any reason - we request that you return it to us. Please call our 24-hour customer service hotline at 1-800-321-1484 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

text: Stuffing in your meatloaf? Interesting. I generally just add breadcrumbs, and some other stuff to make my meatloaf work. Since I don't eat beef.. I use ground turkey for spaghetti, meatloaf, tacos, enchiladas, lasagna, salisbury steak, dirty rice (along with turkey sausage), and pretty much anything requiring ground turkey. I fix everything the same way I would if I was using ground beef. What makes it all work is the quality of the ground turkey. For that, I use Carolina Ground Turkey. It's not the leanest quality of ground turkey, but it's consistency works better than some of the name brands.

WATERBURY, VT -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc.'s shares plunged last week after two of the largest U.S. supermarket chains announced plans to launch store-branded portion packs compatible with Keurig single-cup brewers.
Safeway Inc. said on June 15 that it will sell its own branded pods that are compatible with Green Mountain's Keurig brewers, but at prices below the Vermont coffee roaster's own K-Cups.
The news came just days after rival grocery chain Kroger Co. said it plans to offer store-branded coffee portion packs for Keurig brewers. That news, on June 11, sent Green Mountain shares down as much as 10% to a 2-1/2-year low.
Competition has been heating up for Green Mountain as more companies are introducing their own brewers and portion packs that compete with its Keurig machine. Revenue from K-Cups currently make up about 75% of Green Mountain's business. The Vermont coffee roaster sells its own coffee in K-Cups, but also sells the portion packs with coffee from many other brands, including Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Folgers.
Starbucks Corp. partnered with Green Mountain last year to sell K-Cups for use with the Keurig machine, but in March the Seattle coffee giant announced it will also sell its own Verismo line of single-cup brewers. The Verismo will differ from the Keurig's K-Cup and new Vue machines (the K-Cup successor) in that it's a high-pressure system designed for making espresso drinks. | SEE STORY
And while Green Mountain has numerous patents that cover all aspects of the Keurig machine, two patents related to the K-Cup expire in September, opening the door for more competition.
Green Mountain has already sued two companies -- Rogers Family Co. and Sturm Foods -- for patent infringement when they started selling unlicensed Keurig-compatible K-Cups. The patents Green Mountain claimed they infringed are not the ones expiring.
Separately, Green Mountain shares fell another 5% to a new low on June 7 when a research report showed it had a "noticeable slowdown" in sales of K-Cup coffee pods to U.S. offices in May.
Boston-based research firm Detwiler Fenton said sales growth typically slows in June and rebounds in August. The report attributed Green Mountain's earlier-than-expected slowdown to the installation of competing single-cup systems and portion packs in offices. The office coffee service (OCS) segment accounts for about 10% of the company's sales, according to the report.
Green Mountain shares have tumbled nearly 80% since peaking above $110 in August and September, due to questions about its business strategy and growth trajectory and controversy over its management and accounting practices.
The company stripped founder Robert Stiller of his chairman title and ousted William Davis as lead director after they sold shares to meet a margin call on loans secured by their stock in the company, breaking the company's trading policies. | SEE STORY
The stock selloff followed a stock tumble on May 3 after Green Mountain issued lower full-year profit projections after selling fewer brewers and K-cups than expected in its fiscal second quarter. | SEE STORY

Postmodern Jukebox, Morgan James Put Soulful Spin on Maroon 5's 'Maps'
By Marc Inocencio
Postmodern Jukebox has managed to rework yet another thought-to-be-untouchable track into a nostalgic tune with the help of Morgan James, a powerhouse soul-vocalist from New York.
The 1970s remake shows a significant contrast from the original version produced with pop-heavy guitar riffs and roaring instruments. Rather than attempting to match Adam Levine's other-worldly falsetto, Morgan cools it down into a lounge-approved set with her spellbinding Motown vocals.
Backed by PMJ's vintage instrumental arrangements, the frontwoman punches a hair-raising high-note while maintaining her classic poise.
Postmodern Jukebox — founded by jazz pianist Scott Bradlee — has also re-imaged Katy Perry's "Birthday," Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," and theme songs from cartoon classics including Sailor Moon and Transformers. The New York-based cover group is slated to kick off their Eviction tour this October.
Fans can also discover Morgan, who released her newest single "Call My Name" on Tuesday via Epic Records, by heading over to her website.

Leasing a Mercedes-benz C Class Diesel Estate C200d Sport Premium Plus 5dr Auto has never been easier on Business Contract Hire.
Business contract hire also known as (BCH) allows businesses to finance their vehicles with an agreed mileage and a minimum initial rental for the contract.
First choose your initial rental. The minimum initial rental on business contract hire is 3 months in advance or as high as 12 rentals upfront depending on the deal you choose.
Once you have decided you upfront initial rental it's time to choose your mileage. Mileages will range from as low as 5000 miles per annum all the way through to 50,000 miles per annum.
Then choose your term. The majority of deals advertised will range from 2-4 years.
The advantage of business contract hire is that it allows businesses to reclaim the VAT on their vehicle lease deal.

• stipulate •
Pronunciation: stip-yê-layt • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: 1. To make a demand, usually as part of an agreement or contract. 2. To accept or concede a point as part of the negotiation of a contract or a court case.
Notes: Let's just stipulate that this word comes to us from the legal system, but has found its way into the general vocabulary. Can we agree on that? Maybe as we move forward. This term brings a large family with it. The abstract noun is stipulation, the potential adjective is stipulable, dropping the suffix -ate, and the general adjective is stipulatory, which doesn't drop the -ate. Someone who stipulates is a stipulator.
In Play: The first sense of today's word may be used this way: "Stipulating a 'no smoke' zone in a restaurant is like stipulating a 'no pee' zone in a swimming pool." The other sense brings up a mutually agreed-upon point: "The defense lawyer lost the case from the start when he stipulated that his client had killed the victim."
Word History: Today's Good Word is taken from the past participle, stipulatus, of Latin stipulari "to bargain for, to exact". The verb could have come from Old Latin stipulus "firm", but perhaps from stipula "a straw", from the convention of breaking a straw to ratify a promise. While we are unsure of the Latin origins, we do know how the root of this word, stip-, came to be in Latin. It came from, as usual, Proto-Indo-European stipo- "stiff", which turned up in English, well, as stiff. It also produced German steif "stiff". With suffixes it turns up in Latin stipendium "soldier's salary", which English borrowed, trimmed, and now uses as stipend. (Let us all now stipulate that gratitude is still owed Stan Davis, who recommended this word in 2006. I'm now reviewing the Good Word suggestions that I just never got around to.)
