Post subject: Yer Mama's 1st Mock of the Yr
Your Mama's Mock #1
1. Kansas City Chiefs - Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M - Reid loves OLineman n feels he can win with any QB as long as he get protection. Joeckel might be the best LT to come out since Jake Long and Alberts could be gone in FA.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars - Bjoern Werner DE Fla St - great all around DE who still has upside to get better will be a Chris Long type DE but with more speed.
3. Oakland Raiders - Star Loteleu DT Utah - Seymour n Harris will be gone an Star has star potential and is a safe pick to dominate with Houston.
4. Philadelphia Eagles - Dee Miliner CB Bama - DRC will be the only CB left along with Boykins, one is a solid #2 the other a nickel guy a true #1 CB is needed. Miliner is the only CB who can come in and be a shutdown #1 CB right away in this draft.
5. Detroit Lions- Damontre Moore DE Texas A&M - they will prob lose Avril and Moore is a better version of him who can provide tons of sacks. With Miliner gone they get the DE they also need
6. Cleveland Browns- Jarvis Jones OLB Ga. - with Horton coming as the new DC a rush LB is needed and Jones is the perfect fit. He as Sheard will be a great OLB tandem.
7. Arizona Cardinals- Geno Smith QB WVU - Smith is the top QB this could change but AZ is the most desperate for a QB and if the top falls they have to take him if not an OL is needed as well.
8. Buffalo Bills - Dion Jordan OLB/DE - a real freak athlete who could be a pro TE. The Bills will wait for a QB in the 2nd like a Nassib/Wilson/Glennon. Jordan can cover LBs heck even done WRs, is huge at 6'6 and super fast with room to ad a ton more strength.
9. New York Jets - Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU - they need a good pass rushing OLB for Ryan's D to really work.
10. Tennessee Titans- Sheldon Richardson DT Mizzou - he is a great talent at DT who can make plays in the backfield.
11. San Diego Chargers-Eric Fischer - Fischer is a great prospect who has amazing potential. LT is needed badly.
12. Miami Dolphins- Keenan Allen WR Cal - Even if they resign their own WRs they need another one to help in the development of Tanehill.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jonathan Banks CB Miss St - CB help is def needed and Banks is a true playmaker who will fit in well.
14. Carolina Panther- Johnathan Hankins DT Ohio St - guy can really be great needs to work on his motor but will really help stop the run n let their playmaking LBs flourish.
15. New Orleans Saints- Alec Ogletree LB Ga. - super athletic LB that can play an LB position will really help this team against the run ad is good in coverage.
16. St Louis Rams - Cordarrelle Patterson WR Tenn. - they need. True threat for Bradford n Patterson has home run ability and also will be a stud STer.
17. Pittsburg Steelers - Jesse Williams NT Bama - he will replace Hampton and should be just as good. Super strong and a good space eater.
18. Dallas Cowboys - Sam Montgomery DE LSU - a great fit as a Cover two DE who will fit in well with Kiffins D I think Spencer is gone.
19. New York Giants - Ezekiel Ansah DE BYU - freak Athlete who could provide the GMen the best DE duo in the league.
20. Chicago Bears- Chance Warmack OG Bama - drops a little in this mock but he is an absolute stud and might be what's needed to put then over the top.
21. Cincinnati Bengals- Kenny Vacaro S Texas - will really help solidify this secondary.
22. St Louis Rams- Taylor Lewen OT Michigan - huge road grader will be a great addition for Bradford.
23. Minnesota Vikings - Shariff Floyd DT Fla. - great DT which is needed.
24. Indianapolis Colts-Xavier Rhodes CB Fla St - a CB is needed this team got torched in the secondary
25. Seattle Seahawks - Terrence Williams WR Baylor - a huge target who catches everything thrown his way, Williams, Tate n Rice are a solid trio
26. Green Bay Packers - Jonathan Cooper OG UNC - talented OG who can really help protect Rodgers n is a load in the run game.
27. Houston Texans- Jon Jenkins NT - he is a 360 LB space eater that is needed in the 3-4
28. Denver Broncos- Phillip Thomas S Fresno St - secondary is an issue that was exposed, Thomas is a ball hawk
29. Baltimore Ravens- Kevin Minter ILB LSU - great fit in the Ravens 3-4
30. Atlanta Falcons- Tyler Eifert TE ND - I think they finally tab Gonzo's replacement with a super talented TE
31. San Francisco 49ers - Alex Okafor OLB Texas - will be a great addition across from Smith
32. New England Patriots - Ryan Swope WR Texas A&M - here is my huuuuge suprise pick, the Pats usually target guys that fit what they want n do not care about projected status. I see Swope being a faster version of Welker and a great addition.

Some of these guys are absolutely not first round picks.
Ryan Swope? Really? Phillip Thomas for Denver? Not happening. Safety, at least free safety is not an issue. If Denver does take safety at that spot, Matt Elam is a good pick. I would say given that Kevin Minter is on the board at 28, he would be the Broncos pick, although Okafor is also not bad.
Thanks, Tzimisce

Jones medical condition will likely cause him to fall out of the 1st round, give the Browns Jordan or Mingo.

The Swope pick did u not read it I said this is my huuuuge reach/suprise pick and the team that usually does this is the Pats Swope will be a hot commodity as a Wes Welker/Victor Cruz slot WR no way he makes it past the 2nd round, you are right about Elam I almost gave him to u but thought coverage by the Broncos secondary was the issue

Ya I am not a big Jordan fan my self. Feel like he is similar to what we had with Maybin a few years back. I would tend to say Mingo would be my choice there if we went the 3-4 OLB rout.

On Campus
Final Perk Got Groovy!
The library and partners hosted the Final Perk on the spring study day, April 30. Intermittent drizzle meant the event had to be held in the Mud Box, but a lively crowd attended this exciting hippy-themed event—Peace, Love, & Finals. Students filled up on the traditional cookies and coffee, as well as retro-candies, such as Atomic Fireballs and candy buttons.
Students also enjoyed fun giveaways and activities, including color-changing "mood" stressballs, florescent mini-frisbees, and "Future AU Alumni" mechanical pencils and highlighters. After loading up on gifts and goodies, students lined up to take their picture with the AU sheep, who definitely dressed for the occasion! Unfortunately, the bad weather meant the planned tie-dye activity had to be postponed, but students should keep an eye out for a future tie-dying opportunity, courtesy of the Final Perk sponsors!
This marks the eighth academic year that the library has sponsored this end-of-semester study break. Important campus partners in this event include the Mud Box Café, Student Government, the Residence Hall Association, Auxiliary Services, the Graduate Leadership Council, Student Activities, Friends of AU Library, and the American University Alumni Association.

Either is appropriate, but most people find that in this circumstance a liquid measuring cup will be easier to use. A one cup liquid measuring cup and a one cup dry measuring cup will both measure one cup. Dry measuring cups are designed to scoop and level off the dry ingredients, which can't be done with a liquid measuring cup. Liquid measuring cups are designed so you don't have to fill it to the brim, thereby reducing spills. Additionally, there's a nifty pour spout leaving less room for spills.

March Madness 2012... with Erin Andrews!
On the surface, "Wrecking Ball" is the story of Giants Stadium's 2010 demolition, narrated by the stadium itself. Your temptation to mime playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin wouldn't necessarily be misplaced. But as the centerpiece — figuratively and literally — of an album about what Bruce calls the "distance between American reality and the American Dream," Giants Stadium makes for a pretty meaningful metaphor. Paradise was paved, and they put up a parking lot. And, apparently, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. (Okay, yes, we've heard this one before.) But what's pretty spectacular and undeniably powerful about what quickly evolves into a larger metaphor for resilience isn't necessarily the stadium taunting the wrecking ball, but its instruction to us: "Hold tight to your anger / Don't fall to your fears." It's both a call to action and a plea to never forget. And, make no mistake, indignant Springsteen is classic Springsteen. Sure, we know the wrecking ball won this round, but Springsteen never sounds like a whiner or a loser. He sounds like a man taking a stand. Right about now, we can use more of those. And more protest songs like this one.
Because people on their way to work said, "Baby, what did you expect?"

At the end of their call, the kid told Becker he would still walk over the bridge, but from now on would not look down.
"If I send a message that I am going to kill you, it raises the threat level," Becker says.
But Becker attains much greater depth by interviewing the judge.
Becker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter with a superb reputation.
In December, Becker pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault.
Spruit nicely down; Mr. Becker not come; can't get across evidently.
There roomed next to me in our hotel a German from Vienna named Becker.
He abstracted the severed head of Becker on some criminological excuse, and took it home in his official box.
Miss Becker waited a few seconds and then picked up the parasol.
"Emanuel Swedenborg's life was divided into two distinct phases," Becker went on.

As the speaker for the Black History Scholarship Banquet in Chiefland on Feb. 18 at the Tommy Usher Community Center, she told the 80 people in attendance, that having children calls for a commitment to invest long hours, go the extra mile, to sacrifice and "love, love, love."

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, Leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), participated in a Mawlid for Koca Seyit (Seyit Onbaşı) who was a hero in the Canakkale War. Mr. Kilicdaroglu entered the mosque by taking his shoes off and sat down kneeling to listen to the Mawlid. The party's Vice President Gursel Tekin accompanied him.
The Mawlid was organized in the Kebir Mosque (Cami-i Kebir) in the Balikesir's Havran Area by Mustafa Sitki Yuksel, CHP's Province Leader –also a relative of Koca Seyit– in memory of the martyrs, as the 18th of March is the 96th anniversary of the Canakkale Victory.

Juggling the responsibilities of a fulltime rabbi with childcare is always easier said than done, writes Geri Newburge.
By: Rabbi Geri Newburge
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO since March 2008, and her best-selling book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, have generated quite a bit of discussion, with some clearly in her camp and others critical of her message. I have not yet read the book. I hope to. As a working mom, the list of books to read is constantly growing. But I have seen Sandberg's TED talk from 2010 focusing on the same ideas fleshed out in the book. The facts and figures she presents about women in leadership positions are, quite frankly, demoralizing.
Sandberg is not alone in issuing a plea to women to stay in the workforce while sustaining a fulfilling home life. Linda Hirshman, author of Get To Work: A Manifesto for the Women of the World, urges women to work for honor and power, as well as to use their skills and capabilities for the betterment of society. As a guest on The Colbert Report, she reminds viewers that no statistics exist to suggest that children raised by working mothers are any worse off than those with stay-at-home moms.
These powerful and well-spoken women preach a message I internalized at a young age and have tried to live by these past 10 years as a full time congregational rabbi. We should be able to have our cake and eat it, too. As inheritors of the feminists who paved the way for us, we can excel in the workplace and maintain a happy, satisfying home with a partner and children.
Only, it's much easier said than done. Juggling pressing professional responsibilities (that I cherish and am passionate about) with feeding, bathing and other childcare duties is no small task. Sandberg and Hirshman acknowledge the struggle and offer several solutions or opportunities to persist, though I am not sure how realistic they are.
I consider myself lucky. I have a supportive spouse (also a rabbinic colleage) and a 7-year-old who actually likes having babysitters and is proud of his mommy. On the other hand, you can imagine the thud in my heart when my son asks, "Mommy, who's coming over to be with me tonight?" So I maintain — easier said than done.
Representing a different perspective is University of Michigan business professor Marina Whitman. A pioneer in her own right — a full-time professor and a corporate executive when it was unusual for women to lead companies —Whitman asserts that "doing it all" is a mirage.
"I think this thing about 'can women have it all?' or 'can't they have it all?' is kind of a silly argument," she said in a CNN report. "Yes, you may have it all, but not all at once."
Certainly there is no one solution. Each family must wrestle with the delicate balance of work and home life. When the needs of all parties cannot be met, something or someone must give — what or who will that be?
Rabbi Geri Newburge is the associate rabbi at Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill, N.J.

The driver of a crashed car pleaded with his passengers to "stop playing" as they lay dead in mangled wreckage near Lara, a witness has revealed today.
Jacinta Bolling, who narrowly avoided the nightmare crash on Saturday morning, said the cries of the driver, who had five passengers on board, were terrible.
The man's Subaru and a BMW driving the wrong way down the Princes Highway collided about 1am. Four people in his car and the driver of the BMW died at the scene.
"The driver who was behind the wheel started shouting and screaming," Ms Bolling said on radio station 3AW on Monday.
He was saying to them 'Guys wake up, is this a game? I don't want to play any more this isn't funny, I just want to stop playing this game'."
Ms Bolling came across the crash scene before emergency services, with the wreckage of the BMW on the left of the road and the Subaru on the right.
She described the scene as "eerie", and said her and her husband considered themselves fortunate to have avoided tragedy.
"We're just counting our lucky stars actually," she said.
Devastated friends and family of the five people killed have maintained a vigil at a makeshift roadside shrine at the site of the tragedy.
Investigators are still trying to piece together how the speeding BMW came to be driving erratically on the wrong side of the Princes Highway before ploughing head-on into the Subaru.
The driver and sole occupant of the BMW, Sarah Houlihan, and young mother Casey Valetic, 24, her best friend, Melissa Parry, 23, Nathan Kerr, 23, and Brad Dickson, 23, were all killed.
Ms Valetic was remembered by one friend as an outgoing, strong-minded woman who wore her heart on her sleeve.
''She's left behind her daughter Annabel and that's a piece of her she's left for us to treasure.''
A spokesperson for the family of Ms Houlihan, 32, said she was loved and respected.
''The family wish to express their sadness at this indescribable time for all involved and ask that all involved are given the time they need to grieve.
''Sarah was a loving, fun, caring and happy person. She was a respected natural health practitioner and teacher in her field. She was a qualified naturopath, homoeopath and nutritionist.''
Online tributes for Ms Houlihan continued to flow on Facebook on Sunday.
Assistant Commissioner Jack Blayney said a number of witnesses have come forward to say they saw the Ms Houlihan's car travelling on the wrong side of the freeway.
''Obviously we're looking for anybody else that may have seen this vehicle at an earlier stage, particularly on the wrong side of the freeway, to come forward to police so that we can actually piece this story together to get some clarity around what's happened,'' he said.
''Clearly something has drastically gone wrong here.''

Good morning, all!
Had my latest CT scan last Wednesday. The results were great
Have you thought about having a port inserted? My Mom got a power port (done under conscious sedation) and it's been a godsend. All of her bloodwork and chemo is done through it and if you get the power port you can send contrast medium through it as well. I think this minor procedure saved her endless sticks and pain.
If you decide to pursue it, make sure you insist on the POWER PORT.
Something to think about. I'm thrilled for your good news!!!!!
The bottom line is what counts and yours is counting big! What wonderful news
and we are getting to expect nothing less from you.
Thank-you for the good news. We always appreciate hearing it. Best of luck for continued good health!!! Mary
I am so happy my cancer buddy is doing so well. Sue this is such wonderful news and I have the biggest smile on my face right now. Such wonderful blessings.
Sue, I'm so glad to hear your good news. I sympathize with the IV pokes. I had the same problem, so I got a Power Port.
Sue...outch.... But, wow...what wonderful results. I share your joy.
hurray!!!! More great news..how wonderful! I am also 24 months out with all clean scans. Thank God.. I can relate to the difficulty drawing blood..seems to get worse every time . Whats up with that? I feel bad for you because I am sure that just adds to the stress. However with those kinds of results it muat be worth it. So happy for you! Hope you get to celebrate the fantastic news!!!! deb
Sue, the news of another clean scan is great! Your on a roll.
Bless Ya!
Jeff G.
Fantastic news Sue! Thanks for sharing with us.
The pokes and the jabs seem just awful, but the excellent results of the scans surely outweigh the discomort! Yea, I love a good story before bed!
What wonderful news!!!!! I'm SO very happy to hear your good news and am SO SO very happy for you. Hopefully they've come up with a good solution for your IV problem...that's all you need to add to the stress!
So, now both you and Debrah are at two years! I think you both give much reassurance and a great deal of hope to everyone here.
Sue, I'm so glad to hear your happy news! I haven't been on the boards so it's been a relief to see some familiar people having good news. It gives me hope for my brother and all of you.

LONG BEACH - From chat room predators to cyberbullies, the dark side of the Internet can be a whirlwind of danger for children.
"There's bad guys out there who literally spend day and night trolling the Internet looking for kids," said Tracy Webb, an attorney who heads the Child Crime and Child Abuses Prevention Division at the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. "Parents and educators need to be aware of all the dangers out there."
In a workshop called "Protecting Children in Cyberspace," Webb on Thursday gave an overview of cyber crimes, including online bullying, trends in social networking and the challenges parents and educators face in a world of rapidly changing technology.
The workshop was part of the third annual Safe Schools Conference this week at the Renaissance Hotel in Long Beach. The three-day conference is designed to give administrators, teachers, counselors, parents and law enforcement agencies the latest information on school safety issues.
This year's event drew hundreds of attendees and featured more than 60 workshops with topics including trends in substance abuse, cyberbullying, dropout and truancy prevention, gangs and violence, teen suicide, teen dating abuse, girl-on-girl bullying and more.
Thursday's keynote speaker was State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, who noted that school safety is essential, not only for student well-being, but also for overall academic achievement.
Torlakson said today's schools, under the pressure of state budget cuts, will have to find low-cost and no-cost ways to improve school safety.
He urged voters to pass Gov. Jerry Brown's November tax initiative that would provide millions in funding for schools.
"We need this funding desperately," he said.
Torlakson said the funding is key for improving the overall quality of California's schools. He stressed the importance of summer school and after-school programs, quality preschools, education for English-learners and programs that fight chronic absenteeism.
As for the issue of online safety, Webb said parents and schools have a tough time keeping track of the latest online trends for teens.
In one trend, Webb said teens are flocking to online chat rooms, but today's chat rooms feature pictures and videos of who's chatting. These new visual chat rooms leave children vulnerable to online predators.
"Much to our dismay from a law enforcement perspective, chat rooms are back with a vengeance," she said.
Webb said law enforcement agencies are seeing a growing trend of "sextortion," in which teens are extorted with a nude image of themselves they may have shared on the Internet.
"The predator will steal the image through malware (a computer virus) and then say, `Give me more pictures like this or I'm going to send this to everyone in your contact list,"' Webb said.
In one case in Los Angeles, Webb said, a sexual predator obtained more than 6,000 images from two teenage girls through sextortion.
Parents, she said, should be supervigilant with parental filters on computers and smartphones to protect their children from predators.

Tornados Host UVa.-Wise to Open 2013 ScheduleSeptember 5, 2013
BREVARD, N.C.-The Tornados open the 2013 season tonight under first-year head coach Kelly Burdeau at 6:30 p.m. in Boshamer Gym.
The Tornados will host the Cavaliers of UVa.-Wise, who are competing in their first season of NCAA Division II as a member of the Mountain East Conference.
Burdeau is a proven winner, both as a college player at Catawba, where she graduated in 2004, and as a high school coach in Winston-Salem, Statesville and Southport, N.C. She also had a brief stop at BC as an assistant to Brenda Skeffington in 2008 and 2009. The Tornados reached the SAC tournament in '08.
At Catawba, her teams won both a South Atlantic Conference regular season championship and a conference tournament. At the North Carolina high school level, Burdeau's teams won conference, district, sectional and regional championships and she was twice named Coach of the Year.
The Tornados are coming off of a 10-19 overall (1-17 SAC) record a year ago, and Burdeau's summer was largely spent on the recruiting trail. The result is six talented new freshmen, three standing 5-9, and a pair of six-footers.
"We needed height, and we got some," Burdeau said. "Three of these girls are from in-state, and one each is from Tennessee, Arizona and Washington state. Every position on the team is wide open, and our seniors know that nothing is guaranteed just because they've been in the program for three years."
All but one of Burdeau's seniors are North Carolinians, Amanda Possidente from Salisbury, Joy Oswalt from Cape Carteret, Erin Rollins from Murphy, Megan Clark from Lenoir and Kortney Conner from Franklin. Kayla Hanus is from Kent, Washington just south of Seattle.
"I'll coach this team based on our existing talent," Burdeau said. "We're working two to three hours a day six days a week. I wanted to do something a little different to start the year, so we opened with a midnight practice," she added. "Our practices are intense, and the plan is to build conditioning into the practice sessions themselves."
Asked what she sees as the strengths of her team thus far, Burdeau said, "Attitude. Attitude and the fact that the team led the conference in aces scored serving a year ago."
Coach Burdeau is assisted this year by Chelsey Pruitt, who was a volleyball player at BC when Burdeau was at Brevard in 2008-09. A back injury forced Pruitt to return to her Sacramento, Calif. home for surgery, and she graduated from Sacramento State in 2012.
There are a couple of changes in the SAC this year, with Queens College of Charlotte and South Carolina's Coker College joining the conference and bringing the number of league volleyball teams to 12. The top eight will advance to the conference tournament at Newberry in November.
The Tornados will also play three matches as a part of the North Greenville Invitational Tournament this weekend, opening against Lander at 4 p.m. on Friday. The Tornados will see St. Augustine's and North Greenville on Saturday afternoon to wrap the tournament.

Hi, I followed the instructions for extracting the firmware ver number -- copy an empty "ver.req" file into my card's root directory and then (in the rec mode) press set(Function) and display simultaneously. But, nothing happened. I did not get any message in my display.
Now, it's not that much of an issue since I did install the CHDK software and it runs great. So, I know that I have the correct firmware version. But, I'm curious as to why I couldn't get the version number to appear.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks all.
Hi,I just had same problem, then I found out why. I creat the file with vista, which it will automatically add".txt" to the file name, that cause the camera couldn't read it. The solution is save the "ver.req" to another name, use "save as" function and when you do that , choose "all files" instead of".txt". Then delete the original "ver.req", change the new file to "ver.reg". Next you found out? it works!

The Peabody Memphis
Top Luxury Hotel
149 Union Avenue, Memphis, TN
0.5 km from
Our room was on the 10th floor, on the Mississippi River side of the hotel, so we have an absolutely FABULOUS view of the sunset on the river. It was phenomenal. We were celebrating my mother's 80th birthday. Everything at the hotel and all the employees with whom we came in contact at the hotel were wonderful. It was a perfect weekend.
I did not like the ( service fee ) I was charged . I know that where ever we go, I will ask about this hidden fee & if they have this fee I will not tip any of the help due to the fact I'm already paying it with the xtra fee their employer charged me
We were there during the holiday season & the lobby was so beautifully decorated with a huge Christmas tree, gingerbread village, & holiday singers. The room was very quiet, clean, comfortable. The bathroom however is TINY. You literally have to straddle the toilet to use the makeup mirror. The staff was super friendly. The sit down restaurant off the lobby was absolutely delicious & very reasonably priced. My only disappointment was that I had made my reservations months ago & others in our party who had made reservations directly with the hotel last minute, got a holiday deal which was much cheaper & included breakfast.
The hotel was very clean and in an excellent location. My husband and I went to Beale Street and had a lot of fun. The people at the Peabody hotel in Memphis were extremely nice. We will definately come again. I enjoyed the hearing the history of the ducks and loved seeing them walk down the red carpet. I give y'all excellent ratings. Thanks for a wonderful stay! I had nothing bad to comment on the Peabody Hotel in Memphis.
Nothing We booked our stay 8 months ago when we arrived at 11 pm we called to tell them we would be late we even payed a Peabody hotel town car to pick us up at a train we were told they did not have our room we had all are needed info from our booking 3 people checked in beside us while we waited 20 minutes to talk to manager we were called to back room and treated like we did something wrong one person in lobby even said wonder what they did manager was rude and over bearing tried to tell us we were rude because we did not want to go to another hotel but we had to it was 11 pm we found out from desk clerk at this hotel that the Peabody has a common habit of over booking and sending us away with 8 month ahead booking the people who got rooms at same time we checked in were part of a group shame on you Peabody for your treatment of guest! What makes it worse is you do it all the time
Every single staff member was informed, diligent, kind and respectful. They all went out of their way to make out stay amazing! Loved everything!!
Always love the service and romantic atmosphere with piano playing in the lobby.
The staff at check in were wonderful. I was told during check in that breakfast was included in the rate and when I checked out I was charged. When questioning the charge the young lad behind the counter started arguing with me and blaming the charge on using a third party and was condescending.
Great location. I remember going to the Peabody with my grandparents when I was a child and it's a classic. Loved motion sensor lights below the bedside tables to help direct me at night. Nice room, in general. I attempted to check in at 3:15. First, there was no record of my stay for that night . . . they had me booked for Sunday instead of Saturday. This may not be the hotel's fault. The staff was nice and they fixed it, but then I had to wait THREE hours to get in my room. I had somewhere to be, so this involved leaving my luggage on a cart in the hotel and hoping for the best. I was pretty miffed. I complained when I was in the lobby bar getting a drink, though, and the nice server (manager?) took care of my bar tab, so that was nice. Apparently it was an overbooked weekend. It was definitely chaotic.
Traditional rooms and bathrooms are very small for the price paid...
Clean, great location and really enjoyed the personality of the staff and the property. One of a kind.
Very central and convenient location - many historical sites, restaurants and bars walkable from the hotel Awful service all around - room service, cleaning staff, lobby bar, etc. All provided VERY slow service (i.e., did not turn over our room until almost 8pm at night, never provided clean towels despite calling twice, room service took almost 2 hours despite being told it would be less than an hour). Repeatedly told incorrect or wrong information (i.e., asked about where to buy a tshirt that we saw in a case in the lobby and was told the store doesn't exist, even though it's around the corner from the hotel, was told check out was 11am but it's 12pm)
the rooms were clean and comfy We paid for a room with a King size bed for my husband and I and were given a room with 2 full size beds. We were not happy at all. This was our first time to book through Kayak and we were not happy when the lady at the front desk informed us that when we book through a 3rd party, that the room we book was considered a "suggestion"
I loved the proximity to Beale Street and how accommodating the staff were. Everything was luxurious and wonderful. I have no complaints.
The beds are so comfortable. Pay extra for.parking.
The staff were very friendly and helpful Mattress was dippy and lumpy
Great location, very friendly and helpful staff. Best value for the money in the area. Parking garage
It's a shame. The hotel is really nice, but the lightbulbs they've chosen to put in the rooms make them feel like a morgue. The CFLs put out this nasty blue light that is unsettling. Bad lighting choice! My other gripe was the fact that I got what's called a luxurious tub included with my room. Turns out it's just a run-of-the-mill tub you find in any cheap hotel. . .
The accomodations were excellent, the location was great and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly
Staff was extremely friendly, view was fantastic! Didn't do my research was expecting a pool and hot tub
I expected to be disappointed. But I was pleasantly surprised and this was a clean convenient hotel at an affordable price. I will come back Not many amenities
Close to Beale Street. 7 minute walk. Not outrageously over priced. I would stay again. Very small double bed room. Carpet was stained in several places. Bathroom needed a deep cleaning.
Only good thing was the location Door dead bolt handle missing, also door didn't seal when closed. Toilet handle was broken, bathroom light fixture was burned out, mildew on the shower curtain, lamp missing a light bulb, dirt in the corners of bath room and on the door. The pool water was green.
The location was great - within walking distance of many things to do in Memphis. The concierge at the hotel was very helpful and friendly. Shower pressure was good, and beds were comfy. Not a lot of tv channels (not that you should be watching tv on a vacation!), and it smelled a little weird (like all hotels).
Proximity to downtown area No hair dryer in room
Nothing. Lights in bathroom did not work. Requested them to fix or another room. They refused. Room smelt moldy and smoke. Carpets were dirty with animal hair. Asked for refund. They couldn't do anything about it since I booked thru your office. Contacted your office and received NO service from operator. Still waiting for some type of response. NOTHING. Ended up booking another room on my own at different hotel since I could not get any help from your office. This will be the last time I use your service and will be proud to inform my family and friends.
location it was like spring break with drunk college kids yelling and screaming and fighting. not relaxing.
Very Clean, great location, free internet access & complimentary breakfast were the highlights. It's wasn't so much the hotel's fault but the taxes were rediculous which I assume would be the same in all hotels in the area. Slugged 2 sets of taxes which amounted to over $25 a night.
I enjoyed the location; right next to Beale Street The breakfast was aweful. Powdered eggs. If you enjoy cereal and milk or toast or waffles you are fine.
My Parents and I stayed here for one week and we absolutely loved it!!...There is nothing negative in my opinion,fantastic location beautiful rooms/view and Hotel staff always greeted you with a smile.I Would recommend this Hotel to anyone. Hi to Roshanda and Meaghan ,two of the staff working at Reception.
Nice hotel with a friendly staff, perfect located for every tourist
Room was great, right near the Baseball and Basketball stadiums, many attractions literally 2 mins away, like Beale St. Complimentry breakfast was even pretty good. Bit noisy because its so close to Beale St, but thats what you get for staying in your hotel instead of being at Beale St enjoying yourself!
Great location, good facilities & professional, helpful staff. Room was good sized and bed was comfy. Large bathroom was a definite plus. The breakfast selection could be a little better. Missed cold cuts. The hotel staff didn't notice my reservation request for a room in upper floor.
We were very happy with our room and enjoyed out stay. The fact that we were so close to Beale St was a plus.
The location was great, right next to Beale street. Staff was very friendly and helpfull. Rooms were clean. no
Mattress and linen was amazing! Best night's sleep I've had in a while! Getting in to valet park was a little crowded and had to wait but well worth the wait!
The central location was nice, although it had its downsides. The staff was friendly. The location near Beal Street and across from Autozone Park meant that there was hardly a quiet moment during the night. The noisy drunk folks were not only outside making noise in the streets, but also inside the hotel. I asked for earplugs around 1am, but the hotel provided me with cheap headphones instead. If you stay here and would like to sleep, I'd recommend asking for a room away from the street.
I did not stay in this hotel because when I called the Doubletree on Oct 14, I was told I did not have a reservation and I never had one. I can only assume that the entire process was some sort of SCAM and i will NEVER use your service again. I have filed a complaint with American Express and I will make certain ALL of my friends know about this SCAM.
Staff was friendly and proximity to Beale was great Room was small. Every movement on the bed sounded like you were jumping on it.
Easy to get around. Food was good. Close to other restaurants No safe, or refrigerator
The closet space in the room could be reconstructed to be more useful to the room.
There was a bed to sleep in. Room was kinda shabby to be on a Hilton Honors floor. Had to push very hard to get the bathroom door to latch. You could see through the thinly brushed coat of paint to see the previous color. Had to pay $25 a day for valet parking, I was told there was easy access on premises to my vehicle when I called to check and when we got there the parking was a block away, so going to the car to unload it after it being parked was not possible. I had to pay for valet but I had to go pick up my own car cause the valet there to retrieve your car couldn't drive a stick-shift, did I mention I had to PAY $25 A DAY WHEN I WAS DOING HALF OF SOMEONES JOB THAT I AM PAYING FOR THEM TO DO. Coffee was $10 a pot, and was for crap coffee. Breakfast offered was expensive but cheap food was used and tasted like government rations. I will never stay at a Hilton Hotel again unless its the only option.
The price was reasonable, overall the hotel was clean and comfortable. There is a Friday's restaurant inside which makes for a nice option. The pool is small but clean and adequate. The front desk people were very helpful. The bathtub drain was clogged and slow to drain so one ended standing in quite a bit of sudsy water when showering. I did let them know at checkout; hopefully they fixed it for the next guests.
Friendly staff, accommodating, great customer service!! Cleanliness of rooms needs improvement, and bathrooms need a bit remodeling. Bathtub tile was dirty and old, fixtures were old, paint on door was peeling off.
The location, the room was clean. The room was humid, also bathroom ceiling was peeling and had slight water damage. Items in room (lamps, etc), seemed to be placed there and didn't really have a function (lamp missing bulb, only obe night stand, etc). Also the decor and color choices made the room feel dated and unwelcoming.
Great location. Nice hotel. Small double beds.
I was on the 10th floor by the elevators and heard compressor noises all night long - horrible.
Near to all attractions. Walkable to beal street. Very Clean and safe area. Hotel spotless clean. Very nice clerks on front desk. Hospitality gathering in the evening with free wine, beer and soft drinks and a food variety (very tasty). Spacious rooms with fully equiped kitchen. Would recommend this hotel to everybody
Good value. Close to where we needed to be. Very courteous staff. Nice breakfast layout.

Is Joe Mauer a lock for the HOF?
One interesting portion of the article took a look at Mauer's career WAR when compared to other catchers that are already enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. "Mauer currently ranks ahead of Roy Campanella, Rick Ferrell and Ray Schalk. He isn't far behind Roger Bresnahan or Ernie Lombardi. If Mauer can stay healthy and productive through the end of his current contract (a very big if), he very well could be a lock for enshrinement in Cooperstown."
So this begs the question, is Mauer nearly a lock for the HOF?
If Mauer's career were tragically to end before the start of next season, it doesn't seem likely that he would have the numbers to be elected. He is close to crossing the 1,300 hit mark so he hasn't even made it to the halfway point of the 3,000 hit plateau. His power numbers are never going to get him elected since he has yet to hit 100 home runs in nine years of big league experience. The true test of his greatness might be in his ability to keep his lifetime batting average as high as possible. Mauer is a career .323 batter and he gets on base over 40% of the time.
There are plenty of accolades that have started to mount for Mauer. The three batting titles that he has already won are unprecedented for a catcher. He was close to winning his fourth title last season before falling off at the end of the year. Batting titles are great but they don't necessarily mean that he will get enshrined in Cooperstown. Twins fans are well aware of the case for Tony Oliva to make the HOF and he had three batting titles to his credit before he was forced to retire.
Mauer's MVP season in 2009 was something that statisticians could drool about because of his combination of power, average, and playing a tough defensive position. One great season doesn't mean a player should be a lock for the Hall. There have been plenty of players to win one MVP and never be close to reaching that mark again. Some consider Justin Morneau's MVP selection as one of the worst in the Division Era. Injuries have made it tough for him to get back to that form.
Looking toward the future and projecting the rest of Mauer's career, it is easy to think that he will get strong consideration for the Hall of Fame. His health will continue to be something to watch especially since he is close to 6-foot-6 and he has a lot of weight on those precious knees every time that he squats behind the plate. The Twins will continue to use him at other positions as he ages but his tie to greatness is in his ability to be a catcher.
When some try to name the best catcher in the history of the game, Johnny Bench usually tops most lists. Yogi Berra, Carlton Fisk, and others are also thought of highly. These men racked up a lot of innings behind the plate and it doesn't look like Mauer will be a full-time catcher for the rest of his career. These men were solid as catchers in a gritty era of baseball.
Bench played 17 seasons and caught close to 14,500 innings, Bera caught over 12,000 innings, and Fisk racked up 18.500 innings. Mauer currently sits at 7,224 innings as a catcher and he has averaged 858.2 innings per season. Last season, he logged a little over 600 frames at catcher, which were the fewest he had in a season that he played over 100 games. If this trend continues, it could take away some of his votes when it comes to election time.
At this point, it doesn't seem like Mauer would be a lock for the Hall of Fame. It will likely take multiple more seasons at his current rate of production for him to be a lock. Twins fans will get to watch Mauer on every step of his journey and hopefully that path will lead him to the gates of Cooperstown.
What does Mauer have left to accomplish to get into the HOF? Leave a COMMENT and start the discussion.

I think his media market hinders him, but also something else. If it takes a lot of time to justify a player's potential immortality, then he's probably not a Hall of Famer. Like you said, it'll take a good 5+ near-MVP caliber seasons behind the dish for him to reach that level.
Nice post.

Mauer is a lock if he never plays another game. He has the best batting average of any catcher in history, 45th among all players and second among all current players. He won three batting titles and an MVP as a catcher. He is probably a first ballot lock. Pujols may be the only current player who is more certain of HOF status right now.
There are arguments that Tony Oliva belongs in the HOF. But his career batting average is 30 points lower than Mauer's, 154th all time, and he was a corner outfielder.
The only thing that would keep Mauer out of the HOF is if he stops catching and/or his offense drops off dramatically while playing the next 10 years. That might dilute his career numbers enough to endanger his HOF status.

Atlanta • Alabama got a hand on the ball, which wobbled into the arms of a Georgia receiver who wasn't supposed to catch it.
Before the Bulldogs could get off another play, the clock ran out.
The Crimson Tide are heading back to the national championship game.
By a mere 5 yards.
AJ McCarron threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 3:15 remaining and No. 2 Alabama barely held on at the end, beating No. 3 Georgia 32-28 in a Southeastern Conference title game for the ages Saturday.
"I'm ready to have a heart attack here," Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said.
As confetti fell from the Georgia Dome roof, the Bulldogs collapsed on the field, stunned they had come so close to knocking off the team that has won two of the last three national titles.
"We just ran out of time," Georgia coach Mark Richt moaned.
Alabama (12-1) will get a chance to make it three out of four when it faces top-ranked Notre Dame for the BCS crown on Jan. 7 in Miami.
This time, Alabama will head to the big game with a championship already in its pocket unlike last year's squad, which didn't even make it to Atlanta, but got a do-over against SEC champion LSU in the national title game.
Even though the Tide left little doubt it was truly the best team in the country, routing the Tigers 21-0, there were plenty who thought Saban's team didn't deserve a rematch.
There will be no complaints when Alabama heads to South Florida for a dream matchup between two of college football's most storied programs. The Tide and Notre Dame have each won eight Associated Press national titles, more than any other school.
"This group has been fantastic," Saban said. "They were able to accomplish something of significance, and something that last year's team didn't accomplish, which is win the SEC championship."
What a game it was.
After an apparent game-clinching interception by Alabama was overturned on a video review, Georgia's Aaron Murray completed a 15-yard pass to Arthur Lynch, a 23-yarder to Tavarres King and a 26-yarder to Lynch, who was hauled down at the Alabama 8 as the clock continued to run.
The Bulldogs (11-2) were out of timeouts.
Instead of spiking the ball and gathering themselves, the Bulldog snapped the ball with 9 seconds to go. Murray attempted a pass into the corner, but it was deflected at the line and ended in the arms of Chris Conley out in the right flats.
Surprised to get the ball, he slipped down at the 5.
Georgia couldn't get off another play.
Richt said the offense had the play it wanted at the end, but Alabama ruined it by tipping the pass. If it had fallen incomplete instead of going to Conley, who instinctively caught it, the Bulldogs likely would've had at least one more play, maybe two.
Instead, they were done.
"I told the guys I was disappointed, but I'm not disappointed in them," Richt said. "They're warriors. We had a chance at the end."
The consolation prize will likely be a spot in the Capital One Bowl, though the Bulldogs certainly looked like a team deserving of something better.
"Do I think we're worthy of a BCS bowl?" Richt said. "Yes I do."
The Bulldogs even got props from Saban.
"It would be a crying shame if Georgia doesn't get to go to a BCS bowl game," the Alabama coach said. "They played a tremendous game out there. That was a great football game, by both teams. It came right down to the last play."
In a back-and-forth second half that looked nothing like a game in the defensive-minded SEC, the Crimson Tide trailed 21-10 after Alec Ogletree returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the third quarter.
Alabama rallied behind a punishing run game, finishing with 350 yards on the ground, an SEC championship game record. Eddie Lacy the game's MVP rumbled for 181 yards on 20 carries, including two TDs. Freshman T.J. Yeldon added 153 yards on 25 carries, also scoring a TD.

Time to schedule your annual water well checkup
Just as you check your furnace or smoke detector batteries seasonally, spring is a good season to have an annual water well checkup before the peak water use season begins, according to the National Ground Water Association (NGWA).
Why is it a good idea to have my water well checked annually?
An annual checkup by a qualified water well contractor is the best way to ensure problem-free service and quality water.
Also, preventative maintenance usually is less costly than emergency maintenance, and good well maintenance — like good car maintenance — can prolong the life of your well and related equipment. NGWA further recommends you test your water whenever there is a change in taste, odor, or appearance, or when the system is serviced.
Schedule your annual water well checkup
Wells can provide high-quality drinking water, and about half the U.S. population receives its drinking water from wells. But with well ownership comes the responsibility of keeping the water well in good working order. A check of your well by a qualified water well contractor may include:
NGWA also recommends that well owners:
