Lennar Arizona has just surpassed 250,000 "views" on YouTube, has nearly 5500 Facebook "likes", and 4,000 Twitter followers. In fact, social media has become such a critical component of the Valley home builder that it has created a new "I Team", standing for Information, Integrity and Internet. The five member I-Team is a strategic addition to the marketing department and will dedicate themselves to the on-line dialogue with customers.
In any given day, you can watch 30videos of their YouTube that take the viewer through a visual tour of any number of Lennar model homes available in Arizona, provide insights into the company's innovations such as the new NextGen Home Within a Home® series, or point you in the direction to clear up a troubled credit score.
Lennar has a number of communities in the greater Phoenix area including Montecito in El Mirage, San Tan Heights and Skyline Ranch in San Tan Valley, Lone Mountain in Cave Creek, Evans Ranch and Layton Lakes in Gilbert and Stetson Valley in Phoenix.
In the era of 24-7, second by second streaming information, the communication begins long before that prospective buyer walks into the sales office. For the uninitiated, social media is a group of Internet, web based and mobile applications that have redefined the way many people communicate. The user-generated content has put the general public in the forefront of defining the conversation, compared to the traditional methods such as newspapers, magazines, broadcast and websites that were controlled by professional journalists and company marketers.
For buyers Linn and Kelly Shaw who purchased a Lennar home at the Layton Lakes community in Gilbert, the social media presence made their search process easy. "The ability to look at financing options and view new model homes prompted me to look into Lennar as a builder. I really enjoyed the YouTube videos of the models. With my wife's and my busy schedules, we didn't have a lot of time to tour model homes or communities, so their social media content streamlined the process for us. Access to the homes through the videos and online detail description of the homes was a huge benefit to us," said Linn Shaw.
Mike Lyon of the real estate sales training company Do You Convert says that content is the key in the success of social media. "If the information a company presents is entertaining or educational, it will spread." And that's the key. "Social spaces are not about selling; it's about educating and spreading information naturally, and Lennar was one of the first home builders to really commit to creating and spreading content," he noted.
A number of the big home builders have embraced social media, but Lennar has taken the communication to a higher level. The company has tremendous visibility online whether it's on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Flickr, Instagram, FourSquare, or LinkedIn, Lennar is all over it. The company also has four very active blogs.
"For several years now, Lennar has aggressively pursued the social media path. "There is no question that our social media initiatives have created relationships that have led directly to home purchases," said Mike Dowell, senior vice president of marketing for Lennar's Arizona operations.
Buyers who have utilized the social media connections often pass along those tools to friends. "I watch real estate closely and haven't seen another builder do what Lennar does on-line. It was so easy to share the Lennar YouTube videos with our friends who were also looking for a home," homebuyer Lin Shaw added.
The cultural shift is well underway. For many people of all ages, social media is becoming a preferred communication method. Social media is an effective way to communicate facts. "The customers seem to appreciate the ability to research the home opportunities on their own, and to review comments from current Lennar home owners via the company's Facebook page, blog and other social media sites," noted Dowell.
A home builder with nationwide presence, at the national level Lennar has more than 800,000 YouTube views, over 200,000 "likes" on Facebook and over 130,000 followers on Twitter. Additionally, each of Lennar's Divisions across the nation has a strong and growing social media presence in their respective markets.
Lennar, founded in 1954, is one of the nation's leading builders of quality homes for all generations. The company builds affordable, move-up, and retirement homes primarily under the Lennar brand name. The company has been building in Arizona for nearly 40 years and owns considerable land holdings in the state.

St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford is working with his new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to correct what they refer to as Bradford's "Cabin Fever" in the pocket. The third year quarterback has been sacked 70 times in 26 career games and rather than keeping his eyes downfield, he often is tentative and anticipating a collapse of the pocket. Bradford is on his third OC in three years. "It's part of my job to help the protection and get the ball out of my hands and make sure that, even if it's not a sack, I'm eliminating the unnecessary hits," Bradford said.
Fantasy Analysis:
After almost universal consideration as a sleeper last season, Bradford can be had on the cheap very late in drafts. In some shallow league formats, he may go undrafted. The Rams struggled to keep pace with the league and it's hard to imagine they don't improve in some capacity. For those looking to take a flier on Bradford in the later rounds, try to ensure you've got a locked-in starter at quarterback like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. You don't want to have to lean on Bradford or waiver wire fodder.

Looking for that one-of-a-kind Mitt Romney memorabilia to remind you of his historic bid for the presidency?
A Craiglist ad posted recently is offering up a 300-pound steel sign shaped like Iowa and featuring Romney's campaign slogan - and it's free, as long as you're willing to drive to Urbandale, Iowa and haul it away.
Romney, the first Mormon heading a major-party presidential ticket and a politician with deep Utah ties, spoke in front of the large steel sign in Iowa several times as he campaigned there ahead of the state's Republican caucus.
National Journal says that the new landlord of a former Romney campaign office reportedly wants the sign gone.
The Craiglist ad, sadly, has been pulled down now, so it appears either someone jumped on it quickly or Romney snatched it up to grace his living room wall.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College football team wrapped up preseason last weekend with the Blue-White Scrimmage at Asheville High School, and has begun to focus on the upcoming 2010 season opener this Saturday afternoon as the Tornados host Edward Waters College at Asheville High School Memorial Stadium.
Saturday's gridiron contest will be the second meeting between Brevard and Edward Waters. Last season in the home opener for both teams, Donald Hudson returned an early interception for a touchdown and Neville Bryce rushed for 192 yards on 14 carries as the Tornados rushed their way to a 51-6 victory against the Tigers.
Brevard finished the 2009 season with a 7-4 record in their second season as full members of the NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference, receiving votes in the AFCA Division II poll for the first time as a program. The Tornados were also recognized by Somis Sports as the 11th most improved Division II Football team in 2009 and the 40th most improved program across all levels of NCAA Collegiate Football.
Headlining this year's team is a quintet of players named to the 2010 Preseason All-SAC team, led by Preseason First Team selections, junior safety Michael Gist and junior linebacker Prince Simunyu. Gist led the Tornados with five interceptions and led the South Atlantic Conference last season in interception return yardage and defensive touchdowns on his way to garnering postseason All-SAC and All-Region recognition, while Simunyu led the conference in tackles for loss with 14.5 in 2009.
Senior fullback Neville Bryce and senior offensive lineman Darrell Neely were selected to the All-SAC Second Team Offense. The senior duo is joined on the second team by junior punter Eric Watts.
The Tornados are excited about this upcoming season, despite having lost 25 seniors from last season, but with the influx of 55 newcomers and transfers to the program and leadership in many key positions on both sides of the ball, the Tornados are building on last season's success as Brevard College moves to fight their way into the top of the South Atlantic Conference.
This season will be Coach Paul Hamilton's fourth year as coach of the Tornados football team, having compiled a 10-22 record in his three seasons with the Tornados. Last season's 7-4 record was one of the best in program history and much of the credit goes toward Hamilton's coaching ability and the coaches on his staff as they created a punishing rushing attack to go with a dominant attacking defense.
Edward Waters comes into the game on a winning streak, having taken their last game in the 2009 season against New Orleans, winning 45-12, and Coach Kevin Clark is set to lead the Tigers back to their previous level of play.
Sophomore quarterback Brandon Turman returns to lead the Tigers attack, passing for 1,335 yards and 10 touchdowns last season and while Edward Waters does have some question marks on the offensive side of the ball, one area expected to be loaded is at wide receiver. Three-time NAIA All-American Johnathan Johnson finished with 35 receptions for 452 yards and three scores last season and he will be flanked by three fellow seniors in Samuel Charles, Scott Peters and Antonio Bellamy as they will look to air it out against their opponents this season.
On the defensive side, EWC will look to their defensive line to carry the team, returning NAIA Independent All-American Denton Thompson and Christopher Holmes to bottle up the line of scrimmage for the opposition.
Kickoff time for the Brevard College 2010 Home Opener is slated for 2 p.m. at Asheville HS Memorial Stadium in Asheville, N.C.
You can catch the game via live broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Dwayne Summers over the radio at WSQL 1240 AM or over the Internet at www.wsqlradio.com. You may also visit the Brevard College Athletics website at www.BCTornados.com.

Brand new Hotel with a very Chic attitude. We didn't stay in paris Long enough. At least 3 nights is needed to get a sense of this Beautiful City.
very clear, friendly staff, nice rooms shower kind of tiny, no parking space other than paying, not even for the first hour in which people come loaded with luggage and have to choice but to pay for the parking.
Very comfortable living room with easy access to outdoor patio. Perfect for our relaxing drinks Great staff service offer to contact taxi but high priced just to CDG 2 A
I was a honor member but did not have my members number on me at the time of check in but they gave me free WIFI on my word and came down with the information later that evening. I appreciate the honor service Since I prepaid and I was not planning to use any other services, I did not appreciate not knowing at check-in that there was a city tax that was not in the prepaid payment. Even though the amount was only 5Euro, I should have been told this at check-in and better yet it should have been part of the prepaid amount which state that is was room charge and taxes. I had limited funds since I was coming from vacation and I had spent most of my Euro's by the time I was checking out of hotel.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, highly recommended and great price.
small room, but clean, modern, and convenient location
Rooms setup good for the space and the iPad. No snacks and limited food on the buffet along with price being too high for the food you received.
Very modern and clean. Good service and in-room amenities. Free wifi...and easy check-in-check out Walking distance to the Airport price was a little higher
Clean room with comfortable beds. The tech gadgets in the room and the entertainment system were excellent Service was just ok. There were a bunch of very young staff with variable level of service mentality. They market a 24/7 canteen which is nothing more than a refrigerator full of pre made food. There was a warm meal offered at dinner for 23 Euro which was essentially self serve cafeteria food. We tried to get a cocktsil nightcap and we're told there was no alcohol service after midnight despite the fact that there was a staff member behind the bar. I asked if we could take a bottle of beer ( in the refrigerator ) to the room and the staff member made it clear he didn't want to answer the same question more than once. I've been to Paris many times and I don't recall a midnight curfew for alcohol. This wouldn't be such a big deal if they hadn't marketed the 24/7 canteen so heavily. The service was essentially hostel service.
Hands off but fully available approach to customer service. Fully digitally connected as well as humanly connected. The staff is always available and extremely friendly. Fantasic rooms with great digital access on both entertainment and communication/internet. This is in my top ten hotels ever. I have been travelling for over 25 years worldwide. There was nothing I didn't like excecpt maybe the price of the brekfast buffett.
Close to the RER stop at CDG terminal 1, and easy access to all three CDG terminals. Rapid and easy automated check-in and check-out. Room was clean and well-appointed. The desk had three outlets in different voltages, as well as USB ports making charging devices and working easy. Bed was very comfortable, the blackout curtains shut out light effectively, and the room was quiet. Would have no hesitation staying at a citizenM hotel again. Meals were good, but expensive for the quality. Beaming media to the TV from the handheld pad is a nice touch, but it is difficult to figure out how to beam media to the TV while getting audio to headphones.
We really appreciated how clean and functional the room was, a very small micro-studio but designed well with clean countertops, a very clean bathroom, and easy to use controls for blinds/shower/tv etc. The large bed and towels were very comfortable. It was also helpful to have a casual restaurant/bar onsite, we had everything we needed after a long drive to the airport. The computer check-in was new for us and confusing at first, but the attendant was extremely helpful with all of our questions.
Easy, convenient access to Charles de Gaulle airport. Free wifi. Rooms are small but use space efficiently, so there was enough room for everything.
Ibis is conveniently located near the RER and the CDGVAL, very accessible. It is quiet, rooms are clean and decent price for one night's rest, before heading back home.
Very close to cdgval, efficient and clean. Many dining options but basic food. Rooms are very basic.
The beds were great and the staff were helpful Our bathroom smelled like sewage. We had two rooms and the balcony door on the one would close. Our issue was it was a shared balcony with another room. So after calling for assistance and nothing be resolved, we had to jimmy the door ourselves and make sure we ran the shower alot to keep the smell down.
big bed. the room had nice furniture. very nice pool and spa area. room shower smelled mouldy.
Had an amazing time :))) and experience :)) great staff. I had to give a good for location only reason because it is not in city but!!!!! Shuttle leaves Hotel like every 45 min to train station literally 20 min from Main City I would do it all over again with Relais Hotel ! Beds were super comfortable!!! Amazing rooms, clean, pool and facilities amazing!!!!!! Free water in rooms :)))))) shower and bathroom really good!
The hotel is very convinient to reach from the Airport by using the black bus. it stops right in fornt of the hotel.Nice breakfast.
Both dinner and breakfast, particularly the latter, were good. Personally, as a Cordon Bleu and now living in France, I would have preferred something more specialised, not just Steak and Chips however good it was - and it was. I am not sure if it was the hotel to blame or only the driver of the shuttle but I ended up at the wrong terminal and had to walk for 40 mins to get to the right one. May I suggest that certainly the Millenium, maybe all the hotels at Roissy, should keep a list of which airlines fly from which terminals. I was travelling by Air Transat and should have been taken to Terminal 3 not 2a.
i cant really say as i was there for a few hrs b4 my flight back home to australia...but overall i had a few good hrs sleep well since its close to the airport the noise of the planes were pretty loud
Hotel functioned well, was clean and reception staff were helpful. Bar was very poor - highly priced and staff not really suited to the role. Communication not their thing.
Efficient staff The suite was not 5 star based on the Australian 5 star rating. Note only one robe, fittings in the bathroom need seeing too as well as some varnish
The bartender that night was great. The lady at the front desk when I first checked in was very nice and helpful. The shower was nice. It's close to CDG. I had requested a late checkout when I booked the hotel, and they told me that was possible, but when I checked in, they had no record of my request. I ended up having to pay 25€ to upgrade, which would also get me free breakfast in the morning, and the lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The next day, I got a call at 12:30 telling me that checkout was at 12:00 and that it was 10€ per hour to stay later. I told them I'd already paid for the upgrade last night. They looked around and found it and apologized for the confusion. Then as I checked out, they told me I had to pay 26€ for breakfast. I had to go through the whole thing all over again and show them my receipt before they sorted it out. Rooms were run down. Heat was on one temperature only, and adjusting the thermostat didn't help. I had to open the windows it was so hot. Food was mediocre and over priced. The menus they gave us were old, so the food was actually 5€ more than it even showed on the menu, and it wasn't good. (And they didn't tell us about the price difference until they brought the bill.) This hotel is in no way a 4 star hotel. There are tons of hotels in that area close to CDG. Stay at one of those.
Old and dingy. I thought from the reviews and pictures it was new, but the place was pretty rough.
Shabby room. Waited over an hour to check in. Never received the wake up call I requested. Almost missed my flight.
Staff at front desk very helpful and friendly. Vrey clean nice atomsphere. The hotel shuttle service (Blackline?) is really bad. If travelling with luggage it will be a nightmare for older or infirm persons. It is however free, so can't complain too much.......Nowhere quiet to have a meal.
While the room wasn't the prettiest, the bed, internet, and shower were all fantastic. For my 8 hour visit before an early morning flight, this is what I needed. I wouldn't stay here for the decor! but for a budget place that meets all the essentials near the airport, it's great.
Original price was honoured by booking com. Good accommodation for the price.
No free internet
Really liked the hotel. Comfortable. Clean. Great staff and "inside" the airport. The shuttle to the airport is right out the hotel. 5 minutes and you're in the terminal 2. The price was a bit high.
Fabulously convenient location--just walk out of hotel and into Charles De Gaulle airport. Elegant decor. A surprisingly delicious dinner in the restaurant with friends. A good breakfast. I think the room as a little hot. I was too tired to try and fiddle with the thermostat so perhaps that was fixable.
A good choice for an overnight stay when leaving CDG on a morning flight. Excellent restaurant
Room was very clean with all of the necessities. Very good location if coming in on SNCF train or on plain. When first arrived was given a room that the guests had not yet checked out of and it had not been cleaned. Hotel quickly gave us another room but we were disturbed we were given a key to someone else's room and had access to their baggage.
been connect to the airport and to the train station
nothing The price wat to high and we slept with all the painters in the hallway we had to jump over the paint cans and it smelled. We could not move in the room the beds were to close to each other and that all for $250 / a night.
At airport Convenient Breakfast good Carpet dirty Bathroom mildew on tiles Air freshener too strong
When needing being close to the airport it is very convenient.
the hotel was very clean and staff were very helpful and room was the best i stayed in during my week of bussiness
We stayed at this hotel after returning from Spain, the night before our return flight home. The proximity to Paris CDG airport and the ease of getting to the airport made this the perfect hotel.
once found (they were still putting the signs up in the terminal, very convenient place to stay. it was surprisingly quiet. stained carpet, small rooms, cant open the windows for fresh air, to the extent that it was a relief to get outside the next morning
Location and price nothing it was all good
It´s location, easy to walk there and easy to walk to the next flight. Room service was efficient. The service in the restaurant. They told me to wait for a while to attend me. After 10 minutes waiting I left.
The quick service and the convenient location
Excellent location, virtually 20 minutes to gate. Very nice staff at reception and quick check-in. Would appreciate if extra blankets are provided. Can be quite cool at night. A/C did not seem to heat up sufficiently.
Generally up to Sheraton standard. The end. Shower had no pressure and temp fluctuated. Needs to have power outlets near the nightstands.
Only the location Smoking room, but even the bedding smelled! Made us wonder if it was even washed. Restaurant staff were rude and uncooperative. Served a glass of wine from a .75L bottle then told us they had no .75L bottles to sell us - only .375L bottles. Waiter couldn't understand our confusion andade no effort to try. Poor.
Convienience - right in the airport Shower was inoperative and only one bathsize towel, until I requested more.
We loved everything! Very comfy room (Club Room), with a bathroom with shower and bath separated, spacius, minibar, tv, a veeery comfy bed and pillows. And the location! Superb! The hotel is inside terminal 2e at Paris -cdg . If you have a conection, as we had, you have at your feet the airport itself, the tvg and Trains from and to Paris/Europe. From the main entrance you can see the gare downstairs. The restaurant is very good, the staff couldn't be better. next time we'll stay there and take the train to and from Paris. Just perfect! The automatic minibar and tray in the room. If you simply touch it, you're billed automatically. I don't like this "modernity".
The special offer that made it possible for us to stay there, the positive attitude of the staff, the excellent breakfast included in the price, the spacy and beautifully and practically equipped room, the welcome gift. Because our arrival at the airport by plane was late, we didn't want to risk not to get into central Paris by public transport that late evening/night due to delays, therefore it was essential to stay at a hotel as close as possible to the airport - like this one - to continue to the airport early the next day. Nothing special.
Location was great. Very quiet rooms. Our second room had numerous small problems. I'm sure if I contacted the staff it could have been corrected. But sometimes, you just want to go to sleep.
Location is superb as you can walk to all halls in terminal 2 without having to take a shuttle. Some equipment begins to date. It is time for Sheraton to do some upgrades.
Proximity to Airport The Air conditional didn't work Speed of the internet connection was really poor
The fact that we only had to stay here one night. Gross.
Clean. Good shuttle service. Close to the airport only takes 10 mins to get there. Space age tablet room control was more of a gimmick than functional
Decent hotel. Clean, safe, friendly desk clerks, convenient to CDG airport, which is why we booked it. The Golden Tuplib uses 2 twin beds pushed together in lieu of an actual Queen or King sized mattress. This is not as comfortable, due to the seam and rigid area between the beds. This is a common trend in European hotels, and it is lamentable. Have they not heard of larger mattresses? Do they not experience the same discomfort?
When in transit, and not enough time for Paris, this colony of moderate cost hotel chains is convenient. You can walk into the village for dinner, sleep and leave next day. That's what they do. Clean and quick. No taxi wants to go tot he airport for less that 25 euros (7km). UBER is 7-8 Euros. There is a free bus to the TGV/RER station in terminal 2G, then you take Navette N1 or N2 to your subterminal.
The shuttle from the airport to the hotel pases frequently and is a short ride. The room was great, clean, and spacious. The staff was very nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would come back.
Free wifi. Free airport shuttle. Friendly staff. Near a walkable town/neighborhood. Nothing negative to say. It was a nice overnight rest stop before heading to the CDG airport.
The staff were really great. And the Room was nice and quiet. Everything was great.
We had a 7am international flight. Their first shuttle was 5:15 putting us to airport at wrong terminal at 5:45. Had to take a taxi. Wish i had stayed in paris central. I stayed at an airport hotel for their free shuttle service but ended up taking a taxi...
Nice staff, good rate, not fancy but adequate` I asked for a morning wake up call that never came which caused me to almost oversleep and be late for the airport.
The buffet at the hotel's resturaunt was quick, tasty and convenient. We stayed at this hotel only to catch a very early flight. It was very close to the airport. Minor items only like no tea kettle and s shower head that would not stay up.
rooms, staff, very far from city center, no transportation access near it,
concept and design, I like it. flatiron, hope there is one.
Modern and clran.
easy access to airport and free transfer no resturant
The staff at this hotel is the worst I have ever seen,
clean, excelent, good breakfast
The staff were friendly and helpful, the room large and clean. Free shuttle bus to CDG, You can then get a train or bus into Paris. I didn't realise before booking there wasn't a dining room? I wasn't expecting to have to go eat somewhere else. There are 2 other places to eat and the food was good.
the design of the room , the Staff was mostly unkind, very unprofessional , Brakfest was the whorse i have ever seen !
the room was overheated and the staff wouldn't care and they were rude.
Spacious and nice layout, equiped with microwave. Very clean and quiet. Hard to get a live receptionist thru the phone.
Nothing absolutely nothing the service was poor TV and internet did not work and staff at front desk was aatrocious. See above
Comfortable bed and shuttle service to the airport. The room was very small, difficult to move about with four pieces of luggage.
The hotel was fantastic, having extremely comfortable and relaxing rooms. There was a very nice tub and shower, with a very plush bed. The facilities were also fantastic, with a nice pool area. The bar is directly downstairs as well, where you can have them uncork you a bottle and enjoy it in the comfort of your room. What a great refresher on a long trip! Probably the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Nothing.
Transport to the airport, great beds
staff was not very competent food was expensive and mediocre
The free shuttle bus to the tgv station I felt the staff could have been more friendly
Proximity to airport. Great place to stay if you have an early morning flight. The service in the restaurant was painfully slow, and the food was not worth the wait.
All of the staff were very welcoming & helpful. Especially Sandrine @ the front desk who was nice enough to upgrade our room & give us a late checkout! All the other staff were equally accomadating. The hotel was clean quiet & well maintained, it was a nice preflight stay.
Very nice service in the Hotel I had a old room with bad wallpaper and a very used bathroom.
You don't hear one sound there, not from outside, nor from hotel inside. It was great for rest.
Only its location It was very overpriced. It was also a very poor quality room and very small. We have stayed in much nicer rooms for 1/3 the cost.
The closeness to CDG, which made our start on Saturday am so much less stressful. When we checked into the room, there was no coffee, no sugar, no milk available for us to make a drink. There was only 1 set of towels visible, the others were in the wardrobe, but had not seen these.
The general atmosphere of the hotel was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable. The food at the restaurant was excellent and prompt to arrive. My sister and I wanted to eat breakfast at the bar in the hotel (since breakfast was listed on the menu as a possibility) but it was strangely not open and we had to find food somewhere else. Otherwise, there was nothing we didn't like.
Location provided goos access to CDG airport, hotel was clean, modern and with good services; front desk staff were pleasant and efficient
Nothing special It is located not at the terminal but in 15-20 minnutes away by shuttle bus. It is not clearly mentioned that actually there are 3 different Novotels there and you need to carefully check which one is the right one.
the room was very good. (soffa and bed) it is the kind of room that can be used as an office out of office for a couple of days The internet connection (wirless by orange) did not work on my mobile device.
Shuttle bus driver was very helpful. Attractive lobby. Business type hotels are sometimes not particularly friendly to the ordinary traveller. This was the case at this hotel. Internet access cost 5 Euros for 15 minutes ( in the lobby) Many hotels I find give this as a free service now. Room was clean but not exceptional.
A nice evening meal at a reasonable cost Price of beer in the restaurant was rather expensive
Nice room, very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely return!
easy to live even with a 21 month baby The service maid is knocking at the door at 9 am, we were sleeping, they should check before if the people are at the breakfast or not. The shuttle system is very poor, why don't you stop at CDG 2B ? long run on foot through CDG
The hotel was extremely comfortable, we especially appreciated the 'Wellbeing Centre' - gym, pool, sauna, steam room, etc. It was a great way to end a four week Eropean tour and prepare for 24 hours travel to Australia. As we were checking in, the desk clerk efficiently offered information about our departing flight the following morning (ours was an overnight stay in preparation for an international flight). She confirmed the terminal for us and that the flight was on time. While the airport shuttle bus isn't specifically the hotel's responsibility, the route it takes is rediculous if one seeks terminal one. We spent over 50 minutes on the bus and even began picking up new passengers and returned to a stop immediately beside the hotel before getting to terminal one. The desk staff should be encouraged to advise guests heading for terminal one that the route is impractical and that they should either use a differnt shuttle bus (if an alternative exists), or take a cab. The actual distance from the hotel was under ten minutes, but we took over 50 minutes on the bus - and were late for our flight as a result.
Friendly, helpful staff, comfortable room, convenient to airport. Loved being able to walk to the little village for dinner.
Clean no-smoking room,comfortable bed Having to pay for the shuttle to fair ground maison&object
practical, good basic room
Professional service and good facilities + convenient location Old restroom
Shuttel bus to exhibition ground. Very bad language skills in the restaurant and you shall not expect to receive what you think was ordered. The shuttel bus driver could not speak english and sometimes the route is different which can be a serius problem when not told.
Good shower Hotel did not receive notice from Booking.com with my reservation until late in the day of my arrival. Promised shuttle to cdg airport (every 15 minutes to af terminal) did not come between 7:40 am and 8am, causing others to miss their flights.
Rooms were warm and comfortable. Proximity to CDG was perfect. The restaurant was surprisingly excellent! The price of breakfast was too high. We instead went to the local McDonalds.
Tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Also thef friendly, relaxed atmosphere in the bar.
After a long drive I stayed for one hour in the Sauna witch was very good. It was a pitty that the drinking water in the Gym was empty.
The food at dinner time was very bad and poor and the breakfast was also not the best one.
Convenient for early morning flight. Modern bright hotel. Large bedroom
Ease and convenience to CDG airport. Good restaurant. Pillows were too small and soft.
lovely room and bathroom facilities; quiet; near village centre; free internet no cups, plates, glasses or cultery for snacks or own food
healthy foods,new clean big and stylish suits, free movies , 15Euros with taxi to Exhibition Center, lovely staff, well equipped fitness room,what else to be! oh may be a a sauna! it may not be the right choice for people want to enjoy Paris but definitely good for Villepinte Exhibition Center related stays.
Location is close to airport and exhibition center. Parking possibility with security. Breakfast: only some fresh croissants. For the rest some sandwiches in plastic pots (quality very poor). On top there is not enough space (tables and chairs) for the breakfast. Empty minibar in the room. Bad smell at toilet. Television not functioning. Empty soap not refilled.
the shuttle service, the free internet ,the rooms decor etc were great
The room was large, comfortable, immaculate, and very beautiful. I would stay there again because of the beauty and size of the room and the underground parking was a "godsend" because we were exhausted and had to repack all our luggage and it was pouring rain. There was only one coffee packet in the room and the hotel DID NOT!! have anymore. Not good when you have to get up at 6 am after a 2 week vacation driving all over France. Unfortunately, we only left the maid 2 euros because we felt it was her responsibility, however a female staff member was not at all helpful in trying to find us another coffee. Couldn't they get one from another room? We were very upset about this, and frankly, I don't know if my husband would stay at the hotel again because of this.
The hotel is located conveniently to Paris CDG. The hotel is comfortable and the prices are reasonable. The shuttle to the airport runs on time. The value for the money is very good.
Comfort of the room
closnest to airport
Food options for Breakfast were very poor. There was hardly any food meant for vegetarians
It seemed efficient
location No resturant, no free wifi
The bed,size of the room,the executive lounge,restaurant and the breakfast. internet should be free at least for gold and platinum members
That it was near the airporti in a City I did not want to visit due to lack of time and that I had free transportation to the hotel and back to the airport The personnel at reception were great. The personnel at the restaurant were not so great. And unfortunately I was coming back from Portugal where the prioces were a lot lower and the personnel was so kind that the difference was too notorious.
Close to the airport, shuttle was convenient and free to the terminal.
The shuttle bus do not go to each terminal of the airport, it goes to the tgv station and from there we have to walk a lot (very hard, specially when we have many bags).
Lovely room, excellent bed and bedding- luxurious.
Being nickel and dime for internet. 9 Euro extra if you did not book through Marriot.
Convenience to the airport and the great shuttle service. Enjoyed and early dinner and the buffet breakfast before our flight out Tuesday morning. No
Convenient close to CDG although you sometime have to wait for the shuttle, which is supposed to come every 20' Lobby bar; lively and with good food
The friendly greeting, comfortable room, excellent breakfast.
Helpful staff, well maintained, great breakfast. You must pay to use the computers to get online.
Size and cleanliness of the room
Location close to Paris CDG Airport Hotel rooms, particularly the bathrooms need refreshing. Windows are inadequate for a hotel close to an airport (soundproof insufficient). Price of wine glasses too expensive.
Very comfortable hotel, nice rooms, big bathroom. The owner, Mr Jerome is very kind and helpful. As the hotel is in the countryside, it is important to have a car to get there, possibly with a GPS.
Very comfortable converted farmhouse. Friendly and helpful owner. Great location close to CDG airport without any noise.
The accommodations and environment were terrific. What an elegant, countryside place! Access at the unattended gate was difficult, especially because I did not have a phone. The owner might consider wiring the intercom to ring his phone.
Staff, setting, accomodations were all great. Bit difficult to find because of airport/road construction and I do not see that lessing in the future. Not insurmontable and can be interesting.
This is an actual working farm whose owners were very hospitable.
Staff's helping behaviour none
The owner picked us up at Charles de Gaulle AP and drove us to the hotel. When we arrived the room was ready, clean, and comfortable. There was a nice dining room and a salon where guests could mingle comfortably. I would really classify this as an Auberge with nice gardens. TV and Internet available at no additional charge. The owner was friendly, informative and helpful. You need to have transportation to go to a restaurant. When we were there there dinner was not available that evening in the hotel. Transportation to hotel was 10 euros to the hotel and 15 euros back to AP. It's not clear that that is an extra charge.
Village style My room next to the exit door and the joke of the reception
1. The attention to design details and the elegance and comfort of the rooms. 2. the helpful owner and staff. 3. the proximity to CDG,and yet the utterly rural atmosphere. 4. the dinner and conviviality of the guests at my stay.
Next to airport yet in a small quiet village. Some airplane engine noise
Great location. The airport train station is very nearby and that's probably the best way to get there unless you have a lot of luggage, in which case there is also a free shuttle. The room was nice and the bed was comfy. The restaurant had a very limited menu and all of the food was very overpriced. Also, there was no hot tub.
Great convenient location to CDG train station and Roissy airport. Room good size, clean and bed comfortable Nice, quiet and relaxed atmosphere Toilet tank made strange noises every 20 minutes or so ALL night.. Water temperature in shower fluctuates between cool and warm and cannot be regulated. Water pressure weak in shower Strange display - amenities "missing" in bathroom - sewing kit box is empty, Q-tips and shoe shine cloth just sat on tray without boxes... Executive Lounge food needs improvement.
Nice room and bathroom. It was nice staying there before an early flight. They had a shuttle that took us to the airport. We enjoyed a bottle of wine in the bar. Nothing
Beautiful hotel closest to the airport.
Food was REALLY expensive but we didn't have choice. 2 burgers 2 coke 59 euros. And it took for ever to get that to the bar Close to the airport
Easy access to terminal 1 & 2 None.
Hotel is excellent in all aspects no free wifi in the rooms. free airport shutlle need to be run to every terminal
No internet in The room and no water to drink
Great location next to airport for last night in Paris. We always stay at the Hilton to ease the logistics of returning home in the US.
The hotel is easily accessible from the RER CDG terminal 1-3 (second to last on the RER B)...it's so close you can actually use the luggage carts in the terminal to push your suitcases (and kids) to hotel. There is also usually a stockpile of a half-dozen carts just outside the hotel on the way to the station from other travellers who figured this out. The airport and hotel are in zone 5 of the metro, so if you get a day pass that includes zone 5 you're all set for a day trip into the city on the RER (30-50 minutes depending on the train and destination). The hotel breakfast was rather pricy, and you can get cheap pastries and coffee in the RER station for the whole family for the price of one breakfast. There is a hotel shuttle that picks up at the 5th floor of RER terminal 2...which has a number of logitical issues: 1) If you have a cart, you need to use the elevators...which usually have too many people waiting for them while they service the floors you're not on. 2) if you are being dropped off by the shuttle, don't expect carts to be available on the 5th floor. I had to go down the stairs to get a cart on the 4th floor, then carried it up to the 5th floor, loaded up several bags, waited 10 minutes for the elevator, then decided it would be faster to carry the bags down to the 4th floor and reload there. It was faster than waiting for the elevator on the 5th floor. 3) the shuttle can only hold a certain number of people, and even if it runs every 15-20 minutes, it's possible during peak times that you might have to wait for a third shuttle.
Overall great place to stay. The shuttle was a bit hard to find at CDG - but once located all went well. If you want to use the shuttle - locate where the TGV station on level 5 is - that is where they pick you up. It is a 3 min ride to hotel. Nice pool for the family - a hard thing to find in Paris.
Enjoyed the Executive Lounge and room size. Shame that there is no shuttle to Terminal 3. I know the terminal is close, but my 80 year old mother had a difficult time getting from the hotel to Terminal 3.
Room was spacious and clean, bed very comfortable. Location right of terminal 1-3 so no need for hotel shuttle. Breakfast was included in the room proce and it contained everything from croissants to cold cuts, muesli, yogurt, good coffee and fresh orange juice - all except hot plates. Everything was very fresh amd tasty. Hotel is either understaffed or people working there are don't know what they are doing/ bad management...? Two nights we stayed there downstairs was overloaded with guests waiting to be checked...checking in was taking forever. Because we had two bookings we had to validate our key after the first night (found out about it when we got to our 9th floor to get back again). Breakfast...like stated in positives was fresh and rich but completely disorganized. The eating area looked like wild bulls just ran through it... there were trays with dirty dishes everywhere: tables, chairs, dish carts...even on the FLOOR- never seen anything like it. I even recorded a video - because no one would believe me... Staff was wondering around all this mess worried more about crumbs on the table...that view was shocking. Overall very mixed feeling about our stay
I find this Best Western Paris cdg Airport to be pitiful and awful. The staff did not care. They did not know any of the simple questions. They had no authorities to resolve issues. Most of all, they did not care how the hotel guests felt about their stay.I Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Nor would I ever want to stay at this hotel again.
it is close to the airport and has the service of "Airport Shuttle". It also has free wifi, which is great!
Rooms were spacious and very clean. Well appointed. Dining Room did not start serving dinner until 7 PM. Hard to get up for an early AM flight eating that late. A few sandwich selections in pub but did not find them especially interesting. Tried the smoked salmon and it was probably the messiest sandwich I have ever eaten. Insides kept falling out of bread and dressing ran down my wrists. Would never order again.
Not even close on what I pay and I recieved back!!! Did not have any soap at my room, the bathroom was dirt
Close to airport. Comfortable room. Good value for money.
Very clean room. Good place to access the airport with the free shuttle bus. Hated the drainage of the bath. Couldn't get the internet access.
clean comfortable room very cool remote staff--felt like they were doing us a favor
The hotel is close to the airport, which makes it perfect for those traveling early in the morning. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The location is only good if you're planing on staying a night or two, not good for those who wish to visit Paris.
convenient for exhibition center prices doubled during exhibition 2 x nights 281€
The price No convenient transfer service to the airport on sunday. Shuttle onlyu every 90 minutes!!
The staff are very friendly and helpfull. Most spoke good english The restaurant menu was very limited although food was very good Breakfast selection and quality was very poor
the staff was friendly and helpful wake up call was pitiful and I almost didn't hear it. Although I didn't pick up phone (it is located by the window and I didn't get there in time to answer), it never call back!
Was just quick staying.. wasn´t bad
When I checked out and Knew I would not have to return Room, Decor, service, Food Resaurant, and Prices
Great location. Next to super shopping centre. Room is very small.
Nothing The bed was horrible. Pillows and matresses were horrible.
the staff was really nice and Professional. the restaurant was able to serve dish up to 23.00. the room was close to lift engine and it was impossible to sleep before 00h00. a dessert dedicated for diabetics would be appreciated.
near airport no iron in bedroom
The location near the airport; the availablity of shutles from and to the airport ; the free internet ; in general it is a good hotle for few hours transit or one night stand the room is too small ; the rooms are very basic
Fee for airport shuttle No hand lotion

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Vintage clothes shopping is a lost art. Between eBay, hyper-organized corporate outfits and overpicked Goodwills, the pre-grunge heyday of panning for gold in vintage stores is over. Still, you can get the thrill of the hunt at Hollywood's Jet Rag. People go to Jet Rag for one reason: selection. Vintage Sta-Prest, brightly colored leather jackets and old suits compete for space with 1940s prom dresses and dilapidated cowboy boots. No less a vintage maven than Vincent Gallo shops here. Sundays boast dollar sales where things are known to get hectic. You're not going to find neatly organized inventories that allow you to select whatever you came in for quickly. But what you will get is a vintage-clothing safari that brings you back to the day in high school when you found an old Circle Jerks T-shirt at Goodwill for $3. 825 N. La Brea Ave., Fairfax District.

Museum shops are pretty good places for last-minute gifts — you will find items quirky enough that the recipients probably will not have seen them and definitely will not have purchased for themselves. The Santa Monica Museum of Art has a tiny, super-focused version, called Gracie, its goods stacked neatly in the hallway between the entrance and the galleries. Some items you may have seen in other luxury-novelty stores, like a mug that looks like three espresso cups smushed together. Others are surprises, like the collection of plates stacked in the shape of a palace. No one needs these things. But you need to buy them for someone, and this museum shop makes it easy and pleasant to do so. Oh, and feel free to walk 10 steps more to see the actual museum, which has a $5 suggested donation ($3 for seniors, students and artists). Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave., G1, Santa Monica.

Every group of friends has that one member who reliably delivers cool gifts with cards to match. In our case, said friend was willing to share her source: the Library Store at Central Library. Every nook and cranny of this smallish space is filled with books (of course!), many about L.A. or on themes such as cooking, gardening and literature; educational but fun toys that kids will adore; jewelry and gadget covers (iPad, Kindle, etc.) for book lovers; creative greeting cards and postcards; T-shirts and other garments; and unusual items such as colorful paper sculptures made by librarian Dora Ho from recycled catalogs. Now you, too, have access to one-stop cool gift shopping, down to the funky wrapping paper and artistic gift tags. Even better, proceeds support the Los Angeles Public Library. 630 W. Fifth St., dwntwn. (213) 228-7550, lfla.org/store.

If Los Angeles is the street-art capital of the world, then MidCity's 33third is the scene's Louvre. More gift shop than museum, this art-supply mecca has nonetheless hosted shows by such graf luminaries as Chaka and Revok (who was famously arrested there for vandalism). Although it claims to be the largest street-art supply store in the country, with 2,900 square feet of everything from Ironlak paint and nozzles to "drippers," it's also a showcase, with practice walls in the back and a dedicated gallery space under construction. And 33third is adding what's being billed as the planet's first street-art academy, Los Angeles Academy of Street Art, to debut mid-October. It's places like this that make L.A. the envy of cool kids around the world. 5111 W. Pico Blvd., Mid-City. (310) 694-3460, 33third.com.

"Giggle isn't just a baby store," the company literature says, "it's a new parent store." New parent! What did they do with the old parent!? And yet there is a singular transformation that takes place when a prospective buyer steps inside Giggle — it's readily apparent that it's one of the most chic, stylish stores for equipping a nursery in Los Angeles. From nursery and bedding supplies, to baby bouncers that undulate at a precise rate, to toys, strollers, carriers and other gifts, Giggle presents an oasis for the maternally harried and a break for the paternally worried, with its friendly, welcoming atmosphere, blessed lack of hard sell and emphasis on eco-friendly living from the cradle onward. The store's line of plush stuffed animals is particularly soft and comforting; they resurrect a simpler time in which all those animals were alive and so were you. 1120 Montana Ave., Santa Monica.

There are many choices for your smut-wear needs, but while you're digging through that 3-for-$10 thong bin, consider the ritual and the anticipation. Long before Victoria had any secrets, the place that started it all opened its doors on Hollywood Boulevard — in 1947! While that flagship moved a few blocks away in 2005, it's still the two-story king of lingerie. And, early this year, the 117-store company announced that it was for sale. Although Frederick's of Hollywood says it's on firm financial ground with a recent $24 million line of credit, you never know. Victoria could swallow it up. And while you have that picture in your head, appreciate what you have, L.A. — the world's mecca of unmentionables. 6751 Hollywood Blvd., Hlywd. (323) 957-5953, fredericks.com.

GSA Takes Next Step on IT Modernization Project
September 1, 2005
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, GSA issued a performance-based Request for Quote (RFQ) utilizing a statement of objectives designed to assess the agency's GSA Preferred program. Initiated in 2000, GSA Preferred is an Information Technology (IT) modernization project developed to replace out-of-date systems that track the finances, project status and procurement cycles of IT business within FTS. The intended result is a more efficient approach to working with customer agencies and industry partners, providing better service and cost savings. GSA piloted the system in the Mid-Atlantic and Rocky Mountain Regions and in doing so learned of project concerns to be reviewed.
The work called for by the RFQ requires:
- an assessment and analysis on the implementation of GSA Preferred and how it integrates and interfaces with other existing and deployed systems; and,
- a recommendation on the results of the assessment of the current system implementation and recommended alternatives, should it be determined that another solution is preferable.
The assessment is anticipated to be completed by January 2006.

The need to reach customers is a never-ending quest, especially when scaling a successful product to meet new needs for a faithful customer base. Quiznos (www.quiznos.com) has long been known for its quality, chef-inspired sandwiches delivered for the time (and food) starved customer. But when preparing to promote its catering menu for large groups, Quiznos had to identify a clever platform to educate customers en masse while preserving the light, fun and colorful brand identity for which the company was known.
The challenge was informing its brick-and-mortar customers that not only could they get their favorite meal to go when eating solo, but also when crunching the numbers with work colleagues or celebrating a milestone with friends and family. In addition, Quiznos wanted to do so in a way that invited both current and new customers to explore the brand and its offerings willingly, via a solution that encouraged self-selection by participants, to ensure they were learning more about the catering options on their own terms.
In an era where customers are blindsided daily by native ads and other content designed to look "real" (but which are in reality advertising), it was important to choose a path that informed without interfering with the customer's ability to determine how much they wanted to learn and how long they wished to interact with the brand.
Quiznos enlisted the services of Dailybreak Media (www.dailybreakmedia.com) to craft a unique challenge campaign called "Feed Us, Quiznos!" that tested participants' knowledge of planning meals for large groups while informing them about the catering menu at Quiznos. The platform employs a concept known as gamification, whereby elements that are typical to game play such as points, competition and rules are brought to an activity that is not traditionally a game. In marketing, it can be used to build brand awareness, for example through a series of simple brand trivia quizzes that serve to both inform consumers and drive deeper engagement by extending the time they spend interacting with the brand. In the case of the "Feed Us, Quiznos" challenge, participants were encouraged to take and upload photos conveying why they were the hungriest and most in need of a free catered lunch courtesy of Quiznos. Users were then encouraged to share the campaign on social networks and collect votes from other challenge participants.
Impressed with the high levels of engagement a gamified challenge platform could deliver, Quiznos can now reach customers in such a way that they don't feel pressured and are compelled to increase their involvement by sharing participation within personal social networks.
Customer engagement is a two-way relationship
For Quiznos, engagement is not a strictly sales-oriented promotion. Brand information is contained within an experience that is fun and engaging so that the consumer wants to extend brand interaction, which generates loyalty and furthers opportunities to make a far more subtle pitch.
Today's customers are ad-weary and want to be rewarded for their attention, a trend Quiznos saw as important for growing awareness and meaningful engagement with consumers. Engagement campaigns draw the target audience in, create an experience, and simultaneously educate them about the sponsoring brand and content. Whereas native ad programs are measured by reach or impressions, gamified engagement programs can be built to measure time spent interacting with the brand, actions taken within its content area, steps completed, and downloads or click-throughs to sponsors' websites. They employ an interactive experience that is readily quantified and capable of bringing more hungry mouths to the table.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Tornados head to Mossy Creek and Jefferson City, Tenn. this weekend as they take on South Atlantic Conference foe Carson-Newman College at Burke-Tarr Stadium on Saturday, October 29th.
The last time the two teams met was last season in Asheville, N.C. as the Eagles rode a trio of touchdown runs by Doug Belk to defeat the Tornados 35-17 in Asheville Memorial Stadium in a game which featured 645 combined rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns.
This season, both teams again feature powerful rushing attacks behind the Brevard triumvirate of Aaron Reese, Rodney Donald and Jack Woerner and Carson-Newman's Nate Inman and Tyron Douglas as the teams come into the game ranked fifth and eighth overall in the NCAA Division II in rushing yards per game.
The Tornados are averaging 273.75 rushing yards per game, while Carson-Newman comes into the contest averaging 254.5 yards on the ground, but the Eagles have had good success against the Brevard defense over the past four years, averaging 374.8 rushing yards per game.
The key to the game on Saturday will be which defense can stop the opposing rushing attack. The South Atlantic Conference's leading tackler, Prince Simunyu lines up for the Tornados, leading the conference with 10.4 tackles per game, while Richard Ray is among the SAC leaders in tackles for loss, which will help a Brevard defense looking to give the Tornados the edge as Brevard looks to record the program's first win over Carson-Newman. Meanwhile, Zeke Andrews, the SAC leader in tackles for loss with 11.0 takedowns behind the line of scrimmage, and Carson-Newman's leading tackler Larry Lumpkin will look to shut down the Brevard offense and stop a two game skid.
Carson-Newman leads the all-time series between the two schools with a 4-0 record against Brevard:
Brevard Players to Watch
Eric Watts - The Brevard College Tornados career leading receiver, Watts has continued his stretch of success this season leading Brevard with 24 receptions for 383 yards, averaging 16.0 yards per catch. Watts is currently second in the South Atlantic Conference and leads the Tornados with six touchdown receptions, and also has been ranked among the conference leaders in receiving yards per game with 47.9 yards per game, 10th in the SAC standings. Watts has also hauled in a season long 63 yard reception and provides the dual-effort of being the Tornados special teams weapon with his powerful right leg, as the 6-4 wide receiver/punter launched a SAC long 71 yard punt last weekend against North Greenville. The length and leg of Watts will be a strong weapon in the Tornados arsenal on Saturday afternoon.
Prince Simunyu - The leader of the Tornados defensive front seven, Simunyu has taken his game to new heights this season as the senior linebacker currently leads the South Atlantic Conference with 83 tackles on the season and is on pace second highest tackles mark in Brevard College history behind Stanley Jones' 116 tackles mark. Simunyu has recorded five double-digit tackles games on the season and four of the past five contests, including a season high 14 tackles last week against North Greenville. Simunyu is currently 3.0 tackles ahead of Christian Lumbu for the BC all-time career tackles for loss mark with 29.5 tackles for loss and continues to assault the BC record books, sitting second overall in all tackles categories, including solo, assisted and overall. He will look to continue his pace as he looks to stop the C-N veer option rushing attack.
Carson-Newman Players to Watch
Nate Inman - A First Team Preseason All-Conference running back, Nate Inman is currently third in the South Atlantic Conference standings in rushing yards per game, averaging 80.5 yards per contest in leading the NCAA Division II's eighth leading rushing attack in the 2011 season. Inman has accumulated one 100+ rushing game on the season, racking up 122 yards on 14 carries in the Eagles' 56-7 victory over Fayetteville State. For the season, Inman has recorded at least 60 rushing yards in every single game, including 90+ in two of the last three contests, and has currently scored rushing touchdowns in each of the past four contests. Last season, Inman was held under 50 yards by the Tornados defense, but the 5-10 senior looks to make amends to guide Carson-Newman to their second conference win on the season.
Larry Lumpkin - Sitting tied for eighth overall in the South Atlantic Conference rankings in tackles per game, Larry Lumpkin leads the Eagles defense on the season with 68 takedowns on the year, averaging 8.5 per contest. Lumpkin is coming off an 11 tackle performance this past weekend against the UNC Pembroke Braves, but had his best performance of the season earlier this year against a team running a similar offense to the Tornados in the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears. Against L-R, Lumpkin recorded 13 solo stops and six assisted tackles, as well as two tackles behind the line of scrimmage for six yards. The 6-0, 240 lb junior will look to achieve that same level of success in stopping the vaunted Brevard rushing game.
Kickoff for the game between the Tornados and the Eagles is set for 1 p.m. at Burke-Tarr Stadium in Jefferson City, Tenn.
Fans who are unable to attend the game, can listen live through the broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Dwayne Summers over the radio at WSQL Radio 1240 AM, or over the internet at www.wsqlradio.com.

LONG BEACH - A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Thursday denied a request for a temporary restraining order to stop the Long Beach Unified Board of Education from appointing a new board member.
The District 5 school board seat was left vacant in January when board member David Barton resigned suddenly due to health issues.
The board voted to fill the seat by appointment after interpreting language in the city charter that requires the district to hold a special election, but that also allows the board to appoint a new member if there is another election occurring within 120 days of the vacancy. Two other seats on the five-member board are up for election April 10.
The Teachers Association of Long Beach contested the board's decision to forgo a special election in favor of an appointment.
Anthony Diaz, a TALB board member and District 5 resident, with the support of TALB requested the temporary restraining order, which was denied by Superior Court Judge Ann I. Jones.
TALB will now have to decide whether it wants to pursue the matter.
The board received 27 applications for the vacant seat. The field was narrowed down to the top three candidates, who were all interviewed on Tuesday. The board is expected to appoint the new member in a special meeting today at 1515 Hughes Way.

The metal cutting band saws on jobsites (by plumbers, HVAC, and sprinkler guys) are likely to be hand-held units or stand-mounted units that pivot down like chop saws. This industrial model operates more like a guillotine; the drive mechanism and spinning blade slide up and down on a pair of pillars (visible at the top) that look to be about 8 inches in diameter. As large as those pillars are, they can't compare to the 18-inch diameter steel ingot to my right. This band saw can cut it – though I'm told it would take 20 minutes to do so. One of my tour guides said saws of this type can be found in factories and metal fabrication plants and are capable of cutting the material used to make train wheels.
The material shown here may be smaller than the 18-inch ingot in the previous photo, but it would still be a challenge to cut. Lenox produces blades capable of cutting all kinds of material and they test them in this part of the plant – which what the steel in this photo is used for. We didn't talk a lot about band saw blades, but my tour guides made the point that much of the know-how Lenox gained from manufacturing band saw blades has gone into the production of hole saws a recip saw blades. They more or less said if you can make band saw blades capable of cutting 18-inch steel billets, then making other kinds of blades does not seem that hard.
These are some of the materials used to test recip saw blades and hole saws. I'm seeing 2x4s, various size pieces of steel conduit, thick-walled metal sprinkler pipe, angle iron, copper plumbing pipe, and other items one might encounter on a construction site.
Before my visit I specifically asked to be shown the automated recip blade testing machine I'd seen in a video on the Lenox website. The machine consists of a motor that drives the blade, steel jaws that clamp the material while it's being cut, and a mechanism that advance the material for the next cut. It requires little human intervention beyond changing blades and monitoring the computer that counts and times the cuts. This photo is blurry because I had to shoot through a thick acrylic shield – which could not be removed while the machine was in action. The sparks you see are from a blade that's about to give out after making many cuts through angle iron. I've seen similar machines at Milwaukee's test facility in Wisconsin but was not allowed to take photos.
The next test station was a lot less automated. It was a bench (actually, more than one) with a pair of heavy vises used to clamp material while people went at it with recip saws and drills. I don't know how much actual testing is performed in this manner; it was my impression that this area was used more for demonstration and observation. The guy with the saw is Matt Savarino, the product manager for recip saw blades. Matt is cutting metal with a Hitachi saw and a Lenox blade. The red foot pedal on the floor is used to activate the tool and the digital timer just above the upper cabinets. The timer isn't running; the time of 14:28 is from some earlier test.
This test blank, a steel pipe with angle iron and flat bar inside, is designed to severely challenge (destroy) metal cutting blades. It's unlike anything one would encounter on the jobsite so it's hard to be sure how a blade's performance in this material relates to the real world.
Finally, they let me loose with a saw on a test blank. I don't remember which blade I used but I do know the product manager's time (with the same saw and blade) was significantly faster than mine – goes to show that technique and practice matter.
The guy with the drill is Matt Howell, the product manager for hole saws. Matt is drilling a hole in a piece of square stainless steel tube.
To make it harder on the saw he makes an interrupted cut where the teeth are part way in and out of the stock. This cut is being made with a Lenox Speed Slot hole saw – which except for some wear to the paint looked to be as good as new after a couple of cuts.
Like other manufacturers, Lenox tests their products against competing models. After a single cut in the stainless steel tube the teeth on this "brand x" hole saw are completely shot. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad hole saw – it might be great in other materials for other kinds of cuts.
I was impressed and jealous when I saw the super-heavy duty benches they use in the test area. They're not really benches; they're pit boxes, the mobile toolboxes used in the pits at auto races. This one was made by pitboxes.com, which is owned by a former NASCAR driver named Ricky Sanders. I'd love to have one of these things but don't think I ever will – given that a box this size retails for about $5,000.
A bonus photo: This is the sign on the men's room in Lenox's corporate offices. I went in, even though my name is not Lee Breton. Lee worked for Lenox for 48 years and came to be known as Hackman for his feats with recip saws and hacksaws. You name it; he sawed it in half with Lenox blades: houses, autos, airplanes, buses, and even railroad cars. Lee retired from Lenox and continues to cut things up with Team Hackman – which includes a bunch of men and a couple of women (one of them Lee's daughter). I didn't look, but it made me wonder if there was a Hackwomen sign on the women's room.

TAMPA, FL -- Community Refreshments Inc., an office coffee service company headquartered here, is moving into the Orlando market with its acquisition of CupaCoffee Inc.

A Hermosa Beach restaurant is being sued by an animal-rights group for allegedly violating the state's ban on selling foie gras.
In a statement released on Wednesday, officials from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said Hot's Kitchen has continued to sell the culinary dish made from oversized duck or goose liver to customers.
The group filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleging the restaurant on Hermosa Avenue is violating both the foie gras sales ban and the state's unfair competition law, which prohibits businesses from engaging in unlawful business practices.
A woman identifying herself as a manager at the eatery declined to comment.
The state's foie gras sales ban went into effect on July 1.

Damn, last night was pathetic. How can they go from a great 1-year wonder to this - Yankees get a triple play vs O's.
Two guys get caught in rundowns and picked off at the same time. It was pathetic, man. Granted the Yanks were like a machine but it was so easy.
Old Buck was besides himself.
It was late in the game and the Yanks were well in the lead, but man - two guys at the same time? Come on man.
Then in the exact play of the playoffs last year Jones goes back in center field for a fly ball, not a difficult catch and he drops it, just like in the playoffs.
It was almost the same play only last year he was running to his left and blowing bubble gum while dropping the ball and last night he was running to his right and ball hits his glove and bounces off.
It didn't even hit the inside of his glove.
Paul Blair would have made those catches blind folded.
I know baseball is a marathon but this is pathetic after doing so great in the playoffs last year.
Here it is. Have a bucket next to you for when you throw up.

Do you think it would be possible to install windows 2008 over SSH using DD. I have a server that has no DVD drive and it won't boot off a usb drive and I want to put windows server 2008 on it, for developing a asp.net website. The only way I think I can do this is to install it on a VM on my workstation then using some Linux live cd to make an image of the install from the VM to the server. with something like this.

Dallas, Texas, April 11, 2012
AT&T has again received top marks from Chief Learning Officer magazine for excellence in learning and development.

"In an industry that's continuously improving the way we all live and work, it's imperative that employees understand the critical role they play in driving innovation and growth. Our learning & development programs, led by our CEO, AT&T University and our Learning Services organization, are critical to our success – and this latest acknowledgement of that effort means a lot to the entire AT&T leadership team and to our employees."
