"Disgusting and falling apart"
Sometimes you get what you pay for, in this case you get far less. Nothing works and nothing is clean; broken door, furniture, hair dryer, ice machine. Desk clerk was a college kid who couldn't care less.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

"Scummy Place with No Rest"
This is an older hotel but the photos looked reasonable. However upon arrival we found the following in our room: non-working toilet, hairdryer ripped off wall, missing iron but had ironing board, an A/C unit which rattled when run, ripped upholstery, holes in blankets, no soap .... how much more can I say? It was a pit!Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
Stayed here for the San Marcos outlets. Our first room had stains on the pillow so we got another room. The 2nd room had no hot water in the sink but the shower did.

"Ok for overnight"
The hotel is old with undesirable hotels next to it and people hanging out. The room itself was ok but the outside landscape needed up keep.

"Comfort is something you must pay for"
After spending two nights at this hotel, I find myself wondering why I didn't just spend the extra money for a nicer hotel. The noisy plumbing and paper thin walls did not allow for a restful night. The cleanliness of the room was ok but the overall feel of the room and hotel in general was old and outdated. Noisy neighbors in the room next door made […] sleep nearly impossible.

"Get what you pay for"
This hotel is cheap and feels it. My room was clean but shabby. No dome covering the bathroom light fixture, super loud AC, fraying carpets. But the beds were clean and relatively comfortable which is all I really needed or expected for the price. But cheap shouldn't mean poor customer service, and sadly it did at this hotel. Upon check in the receptionist […] was on the phone, sounded like a personal call, and did not even make eye contact with me to indicate she noticed I was there. She continued her call for about 5 minutes while I stood around and waited. She then checked me in with an attitude that felt as if I was inconveniencing her day. Same clerk in the morning refused to refill the breakfast station, even though I was there at 8am, an hour and a half before they were supposed to close it down. Only stay here if all you need is a cheap bed for the night. That's about all you'll get. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

"Not sure how I feel."
The room wasn't completely horrible, but it wasn't great either. The walls were paper thin, and I was kept awake most of the night by the people next door "enjoying each other's company". The towels looked like they were already used, and when I accidentally stepped on the carpet barefoot, it felt kind of sticky. The sheets and comforter appeared clean. […] The bed was comfortable, and the room was fairly priced. So if you need somewhere to stay for the night, it's a decent place. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia
"Pet friendly, clean, nice staff, reasonable price"
Check-in was quick and smooth - the desk clerk was friendly and professional. We travel with a small dog, and the pet fee was only $10/day. The room was clean, the TV and AC worked fine and there were plenty of TV channels. The bed was clean and comfortable. The ice machine also worked fine and was just around the corner from our room. The soundproofing […] was reasonably good - we did not hear the TVs or other noise from surrounding rooms. The hotel is in a fairly safe area where the risk of crime is minimal. We had a lower floor outer room and were able to park our car right outside our door. There is an outdoor pool in a nice inner courtyard area, but we did not try to use it. The reason I gave it a "3" in the "comfort" category was because there was no in-room microwave, fridge, or coffee maker. The breakfast was minimal - coffee, milk, juice, cerial, muffins, and cinnamon rolls. Something non-sweet (toast, bagels) would have been nice as would have fruit (bananas, oranges). The sitting area for breakfast is minimal - 1 table plus a "living room" area with a sofa and chair. During a "peak" breakfast time you'd probably want to just take the stuff to your room. Overall, we got what we paid for - a clean, pet-friendly place to stay for a couple of days at a very reasonable price. We didn't spend much time in the room except to sleep at night. If we were going to spend significant time at the hotel, we would look for a more expensive place with corresponding amenities. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia

A tough, physical game was played between Union and Lakewood Monday afternoon, but the Spartans prevailed in Leopard country and ran away with the 4-1 win.
The Leopards struck first just 10 minutes into the first period, but that's the only time Lakewood's strikers would be able to score. Lakewood's Joe Williams kicked it to the edge of the goal from the left side and Sadi Zabala finished with a strong kick into the back of the net.
Union would score twice before intermission, both times by driving straight at the goal. Chayanne Lopez assisted Mauricio Amaya on the first score at the 19:08 mark and then Isaias Campos, assisted by Lopez, scored with just 2:43 left in the first half.
In the final period, Michael Pineda, with an assist from Freddy Sanchez, scored for the Spartans with almost 23 minutes left in the game. Gabriel Valente, with another assist by Lopez, scored the final goal eight minutes later.
A relieved David Ameen, Union's head coach, was glad to see his team battle back despite the quick first score by the Leopards.
"I was scared at the beginning because this is the third game in a row where we've come from behind. So when they got that first goal fairly quick, it was kind of wakeup call. They stepped up and got it in gear," he said.
"The passing was shaky at first, but by the end of the game everything looked really fluid and they had some of the best passing I've seen this season," he added.
Union's record moves to 5-4 in conference play.
Lakewood head coach Jay Faircloth was disappointed in the hustle, or lack of it, from his players.
"The first 10 minutes of the game, we played great. Then we got that second goal scored against us and we went away. If we hustle and play the defense the way we've got it set up, we can play with anybody. Union's a good ball squad and some of my boys thought they were going to come out here and do to Union what they did to Pender last week," a frustrated Faircloth explained. Lakewood shut Pender out 6-0 last Wednesday.
The Leopard record drops to 2-7 in conference play.
Both teams play again on Wednesday at home, with Lakewood hosting Wallace and Union hosting James Kenan.

KASEY Owen's family and friends shouldn't bother with expensive gifts for her 22nd birthday tomorrow.
"All I want for my birthday is a win," Owen said.
The Warrnambool co-captain said a preliminary final victory against minor premier Camperdown today at Reid Oval would be a perfect birthday gift.
But she knows it won't be handed to her, nor gift-wrapped.
In fact, the key defender is preparing for the biggest assignment in Hampden netball — a match-up with Camperdown goal shooter Narelle Welsh, the league's leading scorer.
But the task doesn't worry Owen, who has had the job twice already this season.
While she spent most of the year as goal defence, she switched to goal keeper late in the season, remaining alongside co-captain and good friend Emma O'Keeffe.
Today's match has added significance for Owen, who chalks up her 100th A grade game with the Blues, having made her top level debut in 2007 while still playing in the 17 and unders.
After starting her career with Russells Creek, she moved to Warrnambool and attributes the move to a significant improvement in her game.
She didn't have to wait long for success, playing in Warrnambool's back-to-back premiership sides in 2008 and 2009.
The Blues made the finals in 2010 but missed out on the September action last year.
"As much as you try to appreciate it, when you are so young you tend to take it (success) for granted," Owen said. "I'm lucky to have two A grade premierships already. But now it means a bit more, I'm a bit more grown up and I'm joint captain with Emma.
"Back then I was the youngest and looked up to other players. But now it's a whole different feeling. I'm older and I am trying to lead."
Owen said a shot at next Saturday's grand final was driving her and the Blues, but they knew Camperdown would be a tough opponent today.
"We haven't had a full-strength side against them all year so it's hard to guage," she said.
"We have confidence and we have faith in each other. The skills are there, we just have to produce it on the day."
One of the keys to Warrnambool's climb up the ladder this year to third at the end of the home-and-away season was an essential element in any team sport.
"We are young. We do have a bit of experience, but we go out there to have a bit of fun and have faith in each other," Owen said.
She said the Blues had become more proactive late in the season.
"We've become a bit more aggressive. Even in defence we have been talking about being attacking, going after the ball more," she said.

Fantastic finale: Dykins returns from injury, Beach claims third place
BISMARCK — Beach senior Kelcee Dykins wasn't going to end her high school basketball career sitting on the bench in street clothes.By: Dustin Monke, The Dickinson Press
BISMARCK — Beach senior Kelcee Dykins wasn't going to end her high school basketball career sitting on the bench in street clothes.
Dykins, who suffered a right foot contusion on Thursday in the Buccaneers' Class B state tournament quarterfinals win against Kindred, ignored doctor's orders to stay off the foot for as many as two weeks and helped the Beach girls basketball team capture the third-place trophy Saturday night at the Bismarck Civic Center.
Dykins was on crutches Friday but had 11 points, five rebounds and made a putback layup to put the 63-58 victory over Shiloh Christian in the bag with 10 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Beach ended its season with a 24-3 record and stretched its record to 79-4 in the last three seasons.
"I'm a senior, I'm stubborn," Dykins said with a smile. "It's my last game and my last time I can be with these girls. We've been family and I just wanted to finish playing on the court, not sitting on the bench."
Dykins' presence did wonders for the Buccaneers, who got a battle from the champion Skyhawks (20-8).
Though Dykins had her struggles adjusting to the up-and-down pace of the game, Beach sophomore Hailee Farstveet, said just having her there did wonders.
"She got us going a lot more, gave us more points on the board," said Farstveet, who scored a team-high 17 points.
Beach had to fight for the win though.
Shiloh senior Kelly Schindler scored nine of her team's 11 fourth-quarter points as the Buccaneers and Skyhawks traded the lead seven times. Schindler had 11 points.
Like Dykins for Beach, Schindler was Shiloh's only senior.
"That's what your seniors should do for you," Shiloh head coach Jim Petrik said. "Last game of the year, she laid it all on the court. You could tell she was tired. But we let her roll this time."
Beach took the lead for good, 57-56, on a Dykins layup with 1:18 remaining.
"It felt good to be out there," Dykins said. "I tried to put the hurt aside. It was my mind over my body. I didn't want to be sitting on the bench. I knew if I didn't want to do that, I just had to push myself."
Beach freshman center Channa Clarin had a career-high 14 points and was money with her mid-range jumper. She said her performance was a sigh of relief.
"I was praying today would be a good game because I didn't have a good game yesterday," Clarin said. "Nothing was going in for anyone. We made up for it today."
Beach led 19-16 after the first quarter, but Shiloh tied it 33-33 at halftime on junior Paige Emmel's deep 3-pointer. Emmel rolled in a running layup as time expired in the third quarter to give the Skyhawks a 47-46 lead.
Emmel finished with 17 points. Junior Mikayla Forness had 15 points and five rebounds for the Skyhawks, but fouled out late in the third quarter when she was whistled for a charge and then tossed the ball, drawing a technical foul and fouling out.
The Buccaneers expect to return everyone but Dykins next season, meaning they'll be the favorite to win Region 7 for a fourth consecutive year and reach the 2013 state tournament.
Though he'd never predict any of that, Beach head coach Bob Waldal said the team benefitted from the trip.
"It's a wonderful experience," Waldal said. "It's a great motivator for our kids to keep working."

Bill Bailey had Doubts about the modern world, but these have now grown into Qualms. He will be channeling these feelings of Unease and Apprehension, with the help of Religious Dubstep, his folk bouzouki, Horntallica, a re-appraisal of some of the world's greatest works of art and perhaps a dub version of Downton Abbey. He looks at the Consequences of Lies, the Unending Search for the Higgs and the Hiding Skills of Dentists. Bill tries to confront his Cluster-Qualm of living in a Time of Spectacular Ignorance, Nuclear Worry, Rare Planetary Alignment and Spice Girl reunions that may be part of the Mayan End of Days prophecy. Come savour this Broth of Anxiety with Bill Bailey - Qualmpeddler.

Zero-Install Desktop Integration
Crossing the chasm between the office and ECM
Imagine every employee of your organization could access documents stored in your Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system as easily as never before. Imagine your staff would find, open, edit, and store documents of a wide range of formats in a multitude of applications without even realizing they were working in the ECM system. A beautiful dream? No, it is reality!
This is exactly what you get with WeWebU Zero-Install Desktop Integration. It makes working with ECM systems as easy as pie. It allows using your ECM system intuitively and with virtually no training effort from a wide range of desktop applications like Microsoft (MS) Office and Adobe Acrobat X (even the Reader!) but also from open source programs like LibreOffice, OpenOffice or Notepad++.
WeWebU Zero-Install Desktop Integration only uses the standard menu items and terminology of the respective applications, such as File Open or Save As. Within these dialogs, it provides powerful searches and even eFile management capabilities. Thus, there is no need for time-consuming browsing, especially in large ECM Systems. Directly from Microsoft, Libre or OpenOffice, Adobe Acrobat X or even Acrobat X Reader and many other desktop applications, users create and index new documents or edit the metadata of existing documents.
Check-out, check-in and versioning run automatically in the background. This feature frees the users from that burden and allows them to fully concentrate on their actual work. Users of MS Word can enjoy even more comfort. When they open a document, certain fields in it like e.g. a customer number or address are automatically populated with metadata from the ECM system. But also indexing of new documents will be accelerated by the transfer of field contents from documents to metadata in the ECM system when a document is saved.
In addition, WeWebU Zero-Install Desktop Integration exposes parts of your ECM system as so called Direct Access Folders (DAF) which are shown as a network drive, e.g Z:. This means that in Windows Explorer users can browse the folder structure and directly drag and drop documents from the ECM system to e.g. other folders in Windows Explorer, the Desktop or the attachment field of e-mails. Vice versa, they can store documents in the ECM system by just dragging and dropping them to the DAF.
Opening documents is as easy as that: Users just click on the document in the DAF in Windows Explorer and it is opened in the respective desktop application or they navigate in the Open dialog of literally any desktop application to the folder and open the document. With the standard Save function of the application any changes are stored back to the ECM system. There is no more user-friendly or more intuitive way of working with documents from your ECM system!
WeWebU Zero-Install Desktop Integration is the most advanced and most versatile desktop integration. It supports all major versions and products of the MS Office suite as well as a multitude of other commonly used desktop applications. It supports different IBM ECM repositories as well as CMIS compliant ones like Alfresco. It is seamlessly integrated into WeWebU OpenWorkdesk and can be integrated into other ECM front-ends as well. Thus, it allows users to directly open, edit and save documents there.
The fine-granular rights and role concept gives the users exactly the views, eFiles, and searches they need to accomplish their tasks. Thus, the effort of storing documents in the ECM system is not greater than saving them in the local file system. Redundant storage and overwriting of documents is avoided, while time is not wasted searching for the latest and "correct" document version. If a user assumes several roles in the corporation, he can quickly switch between them by using the role selector without the need to log-out and log-in to the systems again. The employees' productivity rises while at the same time all changes and versions are stored and tracked. Hence, compliance is easily achieved.
In spite of all that technical finesse, WeWebU Zero-Install Desktop Integration does not require any roll-out. Worldwide unique, it does not need any installation on the client, avoiding all related problems and costs. Just add the link to Zero-Install Desktop Integration to your Favorites folder once and you are ready to work with the documents from your ECM system!

Page 15 54 Years As the Voice of Grand Island Award Winning Newspapers The Official Newspaper of the Town of Grand Island and the Grand Island School District Vol. 54 No. 52 (716)773-7676^ APRIL 9, 1999 20 Pages 65C OPENING THE DOORS - Fujisawa Executive President Dr. Ted Odlaug, left, is congratulated by General Manager A. Scott Aladeen during the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for Fujisawa's Healthcare's new Administration Building. The Staley Road corporation opened the building Tuesday. Board decides to begin school after Labor Day by Rick Forgione The Grand Island School Board received a loud applause during Monday's meeting. However it was not in recognition of high achievement or stellar leadership, but rather for their decision to begin the 1999-2000 school year after Labor Day. The decision to start school September 7 came after almost a dozen Island residents expressed their concerns on the impact of starting school before Labor Day. One of the concerns came from Town Deputy Supervisor Michael Heftka. Speaking on behalf of the Town's Economic Development Committee, Heftka told the board that several Island businesses, which employ high school students, would be discouraged if the school board decided to begin school before the Labor Day weekend.He used as an example, Martin's Fantasy Island, which employs hundreds of students during the summertime. Since the amusement park's season doesn't end until Labor Day, Heftka said that owner Martin DiPietro was contemplating that he would be better served going off Island to hire employees. FROM 55 TO 35 - The drive to lower speed limits on the Island got a jump start Tuesday at the intersection of International and Ransom Roads. Town personnel were on hand to see the first in a series of new.speed limit signs installed. From left, Charlie McDonough, Supervisor Peter McMahon, Town Highway Superintendent Ray Dlugokinski, Traffic Advisory Boardmember Jack Gorman, and Town Councilman Mike Heftka. See story on page 3. (by Gregg Schnitzer) Fujisawa on brink of marketing wonder drug by Deanne Bartha The reception area of Fujisawa Healthcare, Inc. was packed with visitors and employees on Tuesday for two very special reasons: The international corporation on Staley Road, Grand Island was about to open its doors with an official ribbon-cutting for its new administration and manufacturing facility and officials would share the news on a topical dermatologic ointment produced at the site that promises to ease arid cure sufferers of eczema. "Today we will celebrate the completion and opening of the beautiful building we are standing in, namely, the Fujisawa Healthcare Administration building," General Manager A. Scott Aladeen said: "For those of us who work for Fujisawa here on Grand Island, we might also consider this the start of the home stretch — the last stages of preparation before we commence the manufacture of commercial product on May 10." "...For those of us involved in the Administration Building project, we are extremely proud of this building, not only because of the beauty and functionality of the building itself, but also because it represents a vision for this site to become a premier pharmaceutical manufacturing location for Fujisawa worldwide. We are poised to. play a significant role in the global growth of Fujisawa through the production of meaningful new drug products that actually improve the quality of people's lives. It is a unique opportunity, and one that we are honored to be involved in." Fujisawa's new building is designed to be "both appealing and functional," Aladeen stated. All materials and details — the glass front, unique shape, interior trim and furnishings — were carefully selected to provide a pleasant and attractive facility that "properly reflects the world-class nature of our operations here." Aladeen pointed out the equally important, functional design of the building. Careful attention was given to the working environment "to assure that the building would provide both a pleasing and productive work setting." Every employee has a window view; workstations are designed to provide adequate space and balance the need for privacy with an open feel. Work groups were located to Democratic committee endorses candidates The Grand Island Democratic committee made their candidate choices this week for the November election. According to Chairman Jeff Stone, endorsing two incumbents — Supervisor Peter McMahon and Town Clerk Nancy Samrany — was an easy choice for the Democratic party. "We look forward this year to running a slate of excellent candidates from top to bottom, and we are particularly excited to have our ticket anchored by two people as thoughtful, as well-respected and as popular as Peter and Nancy," Stone said. In seeking endorsement, McMahon stated his belief that "in the past 15 months this administration has made significant progress toward makinj Grand Island great" and indicated he would like the opportunity to continue that work. McMahon has emphasized appropriate economic development, a satisfactory solution of the Seneca suit and a streamlining of Grand Island's town government. McMahon has been supervisor since 1997. Samrany emphasized that the person elected Town Clerk this year also will be asked to carry out all of the duties previously performed by the Receiver of Taxes, since that office was eliminated by voter action last fall. Pointing to her 14 years of experience in the Town Clerk's office, she stated that she has "every confidence that if given the opportunity I can make the consolidation of these two offices work and save taxpayer dollars." Samrany was a strong supporter of McMahon and Councilman Mike Heftka's efforts to consolidate the two offices to achieve more efficient service and significant tax savings.

Curiously, the music for Saint Laurent's debut show wasn't delivered by Grimes) or former Girls frontman Christopher Owens — who have both been subjects of creative head Hedi Slimane's photography, and the latter of whom stars in the newly re-booted brand's first ads. Electronic duo, and longtime wearers of Slimane's menswear Daft Punk had that honor instead, and compiled a fifteen-minute mix of songs by late bluesman Junior Kimbrough. Daft Punk's contributions to the Paris fashion house might seem unexpected — especially given that the group's next full-length has been continually pushed back — but the show was full of surprises all around.
As an often-labeled representative of youth culture, within the fashion community, Slimane's spring/summer '13 collection for Saint Laurent was uncharacteristically stodgy. His palette was mostly drab — which has worked recently for other designers like the vogue ball-referencing Rick Owens — but there was no story to tell in its silhouettes or cuts. There wasn't any drama in the collection either — at least, not in the clothes. There was, however, plenty of it surrounding the collection which is why it took this long for its Daft Punk-edited soundtrack to get to our ears. For those unfamiliar, a quick recap: Slimane refuses a seat at his show to New York Times fashion writer Cathy Horyn, Horyn, along with other critics, gives the collection a lukewarm review, Slimane fires shots at Horyn on Twitter, Slimane deletes said tweets and pens a nasty letter to her on his blog. Oh, and Lady Gaga is involved too: the singer rapped her disdain for Horyn in a track at her costume collaborator Nicola Formichetti's Mugler show, a few days before Slimane's. While Slimane's recent irreverence may have lost him the goodwill of a few mighty reporters, he at least has some great musicians on his side.
Listen to the mix below:

Jones Named MVP
Jones was named a second team consensus All-American in 2012 after he was named to the John Wooden All-America team, a second-team selection to the USBWA, NABC, Associated Press teams and a third-team selection to the Basketball Times and Sporting News teams. Jones, a Mount Vernon, N.Y., resident, led the Mountaineers to four consecutive NCAA tournament appearances, including the 2010 Final Four and the school's first BIG EAST tournament championship in 2010. As a senior, the two-time co-captain averaged 19.9 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, becoming just the third player in BIG EAST history to have led the league in both scoring and rebounding in the same season. The All-BIG EAST First Team selection finished his Mountaineer career fifth in scoring (1,822 points) and fourth in rebounding (1,048) rebounds, joining Jerry West as the only two WVU players to score more than 1,700 points and grab more than 1,000 rebounds. During his senior season, he became the first Mountaineer player since Wil Robinson in 1972 to score at least 20 points in nine consecutive games. Jones finished his career as WVU's all-time leader in offensive rebounds (450) and finished 11th in BIG EAST history with 560 career rebounds in conference games. He started every game in his final three seasons and finished second in career minutes played (4,347) at WVU. Jones also won the Team Man award. Other award winners were Dominique Rutledge (Most Improved), Darryl Bryant (Best Defender), Aaron Brown (Sixth Man) and Gary Browne (Charge Leader and Unsung Hero).

Diamondbacks look to end five-game slide
Originally published: Apr 22, 2012 - 10:58 am
Meanwhile, the Braves have tied a club record with six straight wins against the Diamondbacks.
Ian Kennedy will try to change all that this afternoon.
"He's been our number-one starter," said manager Kirk Gibson. "It'd be nice if he went and shut 'em out. We're not expecting him to do that. We know we need to play a good game."
Last season, Kennedy stopped losing streaks of three or more games five times.
The Diamondbacks are looking to avoid their ninth four-game sweep in club history (fourth at Chase Field). The last time they were swept in a four-game series was September 15-18, 2008 against the Giants.
some good news:
Diamondbacks game notes point out that the last four World Series Champions and 12 of the last 13 have had at least one losing streak of five or more games
Gibson said he hadn't yet talked to Justin Upton but has his rightfielder hitting 3rd this afternoon. Upton went 1-4 with a double in his return from a thumb injury yesterday.
Willie Bloomquist, Ryan Roberts are being given the day off
Bloomquist is 1-10 over his last three games
Roberts is 0-12 over his last our games

Refusing to be counted is not a constructive nor civil alternative, Coastal Regional Commissioner Mwantumu Mahiza , has cautioned cashew nut growers in the region saying all counter efforts are futile and that severe, prompt and very stern measures will be taken against any anti-census rhetoric.
The Coastal Regional Commissioner, urged the growers to exercise patience in favour of a boycott which she said will only hamper national development efforts, defeating the very purpose of the farmers efforts.
The Regional Commissioner was speaking on Tuesday during an in-office press conference held in Kibaha.
"I request all the growers and the public in general to participate fully in the upcoming census, if we are to get accurate and useful demographics…"she said. The national census is scheduled for later this month, August 26th.
Mwantumu, did however admit that some 8290 tonnes of Cashew nut worth well over 12.5bn/- was been stored in state warehouses yet the growers haven't been paid. She had no plans to offer as to the disbursement of the farmer's pay but instead reported that the government is well aware of what she referred to as 'the situation' and she assured the farmers that efforts to resolve the matter were well underway.
The Regional Commissioner took the opportunity to remind the public on the importance of the upcoming census and she especially made a plea to religious leaders in the region to take responsibility and mobilize their followers towards successful participation.
Observing that she as a devote Muslim will be participating fully in the national census and called on all other Muslims and other faiths to do the same noting that without accurate demographics then national plans become faulty, inadequate and detrimental to the general welfare of the community.

WELWYN Garden City Boxing Club are pushing ahead with plans to grow and develop after securing a home for the forseeable future.
As first reported in the WHT, the future of the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Club of the Year was under threat with their base at the Hyde Sports and Social Club being deemed unsuitable for training.
However, with Cllrs Colin and Irene Dean backing their cause, the council agreed a five-year lease of the premises with the family-friendly club, and improvements have been carried out ensuring a safe and well-maintained venue.
And the club is set to celebrate their good news by holding a home show, at the Hyde Sports & Social Club, on June 2.
Tickets will be £10 adults and £5 U16s, with boxing scheduled to start at 2pm.
Scheduled to feature on the show will be the first ever girl boxing representing the club.
Jade Phylpers has been training for over a year now and is looking forward to some fight action.
WGC were also represented at the Junior ABA semi-finals recently, with both Kyran O'Neill and Tom Cox unlucky to fall to defeats.
Cox lost out 37-29 in his fight, but the defeat didn't go down too well with WGC BC coach Martin Calvert.
"We are all absolutely gutted. Tom was down after the first couple of rounds, but he came back brilliantly in the third to be only two behind, and then had an even better fourth," he said.
"How they didn't score him well ahead after the fourth is beyond me; we all thought it was a really, really bad decision."
O'Neill fell to a narrow defeat, 26-24 in his four-rounder, with Calvert accepting that loss.
"It will be terrific experience for Kyran; he has only had 13 fights whereas his opponent had 30," he added.
"There are a few things he needs to work on, but he's got to realise how inexperienced he still is, and just how far he can go - he's a superb talent."
Summing up the feel-good atmosphere at the club, Calvert added: "Both our lads performed great, they were real crowd-pleasers out there and had a lot of support.
"They both worked so hard, and the whole gym are very proud of them.
"We're all now looking forward to the live show."

Construction litigation comes to Yuma
An out-of-town law firm has been soliciting Yuma homeowners regarding alleged construction defects in their neighborhoods and inviting them to join an investigation that could result in a financial recovery of several thousand dollars.
Sound like Christmas?
Maybe so, but in the end it's not free money for the homeowner. And it can have repercussions that impact the entire community, warns Ken Rosevear, executive director of the Yuma County Chamber of Commerce, who saw a similar situation take place in Imperial County while he was a businessman there several years ago.
"I witnessed it firsthand. A law firm comes in, recruits clients, files lawsuits claiming construction defects, gets a big settlement, takes their cut and leaves town."
But it may backfire on homeowners who participate, said Rosevear. That's because after they pay their attorney one-third of any recovery plus his costs, expert fees and expenses, the homeowner doesn't have enough money to make the repairs. That becomes an issue when the homeowner tries to sell the house and is required to disclose that it has unrepaired "defects."
The construction litigation trend by a handful of law firms began in the 1980s in Southern California, said former Yuma attorney Bill Nebeker, who now heads up the Phoenix office for Koeller, Nebeker, Carlson and Haluck. The law firm specializes in defending home builders, contractors and developers against such suits.
The construction "defect" claims have since moved on to Las Vegas and are now active in Arizona. They tend to target the major national home builders, particularly of homes that have been occupied about five years when the house begins to settle and show some need for maintenance, Nebeker said.
And now at least one law firm is targeting some Yuma subdivisions.
Shinnick & Ryan LLP began contacting homeowners in Yuma late last year, inviting them to meetings to learn about construction defects the firm is investigating in their neighborhoods and their rights against the developer.
Identical letters sent to homeowners in various subdivisions state: "... there's a good chance you've discovered, or will discover, that your home suffers from one or more construction defects. These defects can range from peeling paint and fence problems to leaking roofs, cracked stucco, mold issues and window problems, to name a few.
"Left alone, these defects, large and small, can lead to major damage to your home and loss of value. The upcoming meeting will give you a unique opportunity to learn more about construction defect issues, the scope of the current investigation, and what your rights are against your builder."
The letter also advises the homeowner that there are no out-of-pocket costs to participate and that the attorney's fees are on a contingency bases.
The website for Shinnick & Ryan describes the firm's mission "is to provide the expertise, commitment and professionalism to effectively resolve complex construction and design deficiency claims through mediation, litigation or trial."
A call to the firm for comment was not returned.
Nebeker said the usual mode of operation is to seek $6,000 to $8,000 per homeowner so the home builder will opt to pay the settlement rather than fight a protracted lawsuit, he said. "(The law firms) look at how much money they can collect ... it's not really based on what's wrong with the house."
He continued: "At the end of the day, there will be a report that X, Y or Z is wrong with the house that will cost $30,000 to fix but (the homeowner) settled for $8,000 and got $2,000 of that. Then they will need to disclose the problems when they go to sell the house."
Lose the case, and the homeowner can be held liable for payment of the builder's costs and legal fees, he noted.
If several homeowners in a subdivision sign up, that can adversely impact the property values in the entire neighborhood, Nebeker said. And it can add a few thousand dollars to new home prices in a community to cover builders' potential litigation costs.
"For builders, it's a cost of doing business these days. If they build it, they will be sued."
Nebeker's advice to homeowners is to make sure there is a real problem with their house. "If something legitimately is wrong, they need to have someone come look at it. It's better to have a contractor than an attorney."
John Weil, attorney for Hall Construction, one of the home builders being targeted, said the company is trying to educate homeowners about the issues. And home builder Brian Hall has made a commitment to bring in experienced inspectors from Phoenix for a third-party opinion if people think they have a problem with their home, said Weil.
"We'll tell them exactly what the condition is. We'll fix the problem if it is a legitimate problem or tell them if it's a maintenance issue."
Weil also noted that homes are built to city codes and regularly inspected during construction and before occupancy.
Hall Construction and most other home builders have warranties to cover their work, such as a 2-plus-10 in which most things in the house are covered for the first two years and structural issues for 10 years, Weil said. As another recourse, homeowners with unresolved issues can file a complaint with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors
"We know the standards and what's required," he said. "If we don't, we could lose our license."

Easy Peasy Halloween Shirt
every year i always think about buying a cheapie themed shirt for the any of the holidays (i always figure i'd grab it close to or after the holiday has passed to get a great deal on it, and in doing so, i typically forget all about it!) i was at Joann Fabrics a few weeks back and saw a cute rhinestone owl decal that was on sale! (sad thing is if i had waited another week, i could've gotten it at an even better deal!) i also had several long sleeve shirts on hand that were brand new (typically i layer short sleeves in the fall/winter, so the abundance i had that still had tags on them from when they were on clearance last season at Target, really made me enjoy making this shirt even more!)
this shirt ended up costing me only $7 to make! (i had gotten the long-sleeve on clearance for $4, and the decal on sale for $3!) i love it not only because i love owls, but also because it's not entirely Halloween themed and can still wear it for all of fall!

651 Cleveland St, Port Townsend, WA 98368, USA (
Port Townsend
The Location
This hotel and restaurant has been a mainstay in Port Townsend, Washington since the late 19th Century. Aside from witnessing, and perhaps symbolizing, the various up and downs of the city, it has also gained a worldwide reputation for the reports of paranormal activity and resident ghosts - appearing on countless paranormal-themed television shows over the years.
Eisenbeis Castle
Prussian immigrant Charles Eisenbeis came to Port Townsend in the mid-1800s and set up shop as a local baker, eventually expanding to sell animal feed. At the time, Port Townsend was experiencing rapid growth and beliefs were that it would ultimately serve as a major shipping port, given its relative location at the connecting point between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound. Eisenbeis saw the potential and expanded his operations into construction and real estate and quickly became one of the wealthiest citizens of the city. A widower at the time, Eisenbeis took a new wife named Kate around this time and on February 12, 1878 he was elected the first mayor of Port Townsend.
With word that a railroad line would be coming to the city, Eisenbeis built the massive Hotel Eisenbeis next to the proposed railroad terminal, anticipating it would play host to the many travelers that ventured through the area. However, the railroad line ultimately bypassed Port Townsend altogether, which immediately started a decline in population as well as business. Eisenbeis was never able to open the grand hotel and it was later completely destroyed in a suspicious fire. Undeterred by this change in fortune, he continued to add on to the city he loved by building the local hospital in 1890 and began work on what was to be his dream home.
Eisenbeis modeled the structure after castles in his family homeland on the Rhine River in Germany. The three-floor, 30-room structure was completed in 1892, built from the remaining bricks and stones from Eisenbeis's very own brickyard. The castle featured a slate roof, tiled fireplaces, and woodwork that had been specifically installed by German artisans. After Charles and Kate officially moved into the house, the local residents dubbed the building the "Eisenbeis Castle."
On September 29, 1897, Eisenbeis suffered the loss of his son from the former marriage and business partner, Charles Eisenbeis Jr., who had taken his own life at the family-owned business Mount Baker Block (another structure built by Eisenbeis), which exists to this day. Charles Jr. was around 29 years old at the time of his death. Eisenbeis would follow him in death five years later on August 9, 1902 from Bright's disease.
Kate would continue to live in the castle until 1905 when she would remarry. The castle was then left in the hands of a caretaker for almost 20 years when it was sold in 1925. A Seattle-based attorney took over ownership of the home, hoping to turn it into a vacationing residence for nuns that taught school in Seattle. The plan never seemed to take and only two years later, he sold the building in 1927 to Jesuit priests.
Manresa Hall
The Jesuit priests converted the castle into a training college for their sixteenth and final year of training in the studies of ascetic theology. The priests expanded the castle with the added wing that housed a chapel, more rooms, and an elevator a year after taking ownership. After a few more exterior alterations, they renamed the structure as "Manresa Hall" in honor of the Manresa, Catalonia in Spain, where Ignatius of Loyola founded their order. In 1968, the Jesuits sold the structure after struggling with the costs of maintenance and it was then converted into a hotel, which it remains to this day.
Manresa Castle
The new hotel combined the elements of the building's two former names of "Eisenbeis Castle" and "Manresa Hall" to establish its new identity - Manresa Castle. The building has passed through the hands of multiple owners in the years since and undergone a series of renovations and expansions, while maintaining the Victorian elegance.
The Haunting
Since 1968, the hotel has gradually grown the reputation for its strange activity and pair of resident ghosts. The staff have reported doors opening on their own accord, televisions and lights that turn themselves on and off, objects moving, and pictures suddenly falling off the wall. In addition, odd lights have been spotted moving down the hallways and glasses mysteriously shatter in the bar (sometimes in the patron's hands). While activity has been reported all the way down to the lobby, most of the reports seem to be focused around the third floor. Not so coincidentally, this is also the area associated with two very specific ghosts.
The Jesuit Priest
Probably the best-known ghost tale of Manresa Castle recalls the days when the Jesuit priests occupied the building. According to the legend, a severely depressed priest went to the tower/attic and hung himself from the ceiling. Guests that stay in Room 302, the room under the alleged tower, have reported hearing footsteps of someone moving around above them and even the sounds of strained rope moving. There is even an account of a guest awakening to see the distinct image of a man dressed in a black, hooded robe standing over his bed.
The Castle's other resident ghost concerns the story of a woman named Kate, though not Kate Eisenbeis, who stayed at the residence in the 1920s (sometimes even listed as the 60s or 70s). The tale states that the young woman jumped to her death from the Tower Suite, Room 306, to the ground below. There are different variations of why she took her own life. One suggests that she was overcome with emotion when told that the man she loved had been lost at sea. Sometimes the story is followed up with the tragic addition that the report had been false and the man was fine. The other version has her taking her own life after the man had cheated on her. Either way, the stories of "Kate" in Room 306 persist to this day.
Some of have reported seeing the translucent image of a woman dressed in period garb sitting next to the window, looking out to the see. Others have reported waking up in the night to see the shape of a woman moving across the room or standing over their bed. Other reports include the lights or TV going on and off for no reason, the overwhelming sense of grief, and objects moving on their own accord. Various books reported that the staff used to keep a "ghost register" in the room for guests to pass along their own experiences, but ultimately removed it after other guests became upset after reading through it and wanted to change rooms.
On Television
Along side curious tourists, the accounts of ghostly activity have also attracted several paranormal-themed television shows over the years. Early incarnations like
Unsolved Mysteries
have been joined recently by the likes of
Scariest Places on Earth
Haunted History
, and
Real Scary Stories
Truth or Fiction?
The stories of the two resident ghosts have faced criticism over the years for the lack of historical documentation to confirm it. While some suggest that the reported suicide of a Jesuit priest was kept quiet by the Society, descendants of the Eisenbeis family flat-out deny that the stories of a woman leaping to her death in the 1920s ever happened. Furthermore, the owners over the years after the building was turned into a hotel have expressed doubts at the claims.
After three subsequent owners, the hotel was placed up for auction in 2004 so the owner could retire. At the time, the
Seattle Times
interviewed then-General Manager Roger O'Connor, who confessed that stories were the invention of bartender Nick Gale. According to him, Gale grew tired about being asked about the ghostly occurrences in the castle and took it upon himself to invent the two back-stories to help put names to the paranormal reports. O'Connor reportedly agreed to the stories, as long as they were placed in the two most expense rooms. However, O'Connor stated that the stories were due more to help explain the strange happenings rather than attract tourists and while initially skeptic himself, he told the reporter, "
There is some energy here, I'm convinced
Manresa Castle Today
Bill Massey picked up Manresa Castle in the 2004 auction for a cool two million and announced plans to return it to its full potential. Today the hotel has 40 guest rooms and a restaurant for anyone that wants to explore the ghostly legends for themselves. For more information, please visit their site below.

Traditional approaches to strategy development often begin with an analysis of external and internal factors, followed by some visioning, then planning. Typically this involves a "SWOT" analysis - a thorough examination of internal Strengths and Weaknesses and external Opportunities and Threats. SWOTs are praised for capturing "a balanced analysis" - the positive and negative, as well as an inside and outside perspective of an organization. The risk, however, is that focusing on weaknesses and threats can create a downward spiral of thoughts, actions, and behaviors in reaction to the perceived problems. This can lead to finger-pointing, blame allocation, and other negative group dynamics. Simply stated SWOT is not an inspiring place to start, if you want a creative vision and a top-notch strategy.
Organizations and Communities need to be inspired and to focus more on where they want to go. IPI's model helps clients articulate a compelling vision of their most desired future, develop strategies to propel their business forward, and create innovative programs, services, and products to guide your strategic and operational activities. IPI starts with a positively reframed SWOT analysis, called SOAR1 (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results). The strength-based approach creates an upward spiral of thoughts, actions, and behaviors from the get go, helping to ensure that creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, innovation, and collaboration – guide strategy development and implementation. The SOAR framework helps identify and tap into an organization's internal assets, core strengths, aspirations, and opportunities for achieving measurable results and impact. SOAR fosters a constructive, growth-oriented, and possibility-focused understanding of the organization's potential.
Strengths What are our greatest assets?
Opportunities What are the best possible market opportunities?
Aspirations What is our preferred future?
Results What are the measurable results, impact?

National Boy Scout Day: Simple Layouts
by Jeanette Giancaspro
(Feb 8, 2013)
February 8, 2013 marks the 103rd anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. The organization was started by W. D. Boyce on this day in 1910, two years after Sir Robert Baden-Powell established the Boy Scout Association in Britain. During its 100+ years, the BSA has undergone many changes and faced many challenges, but it still remains one of the largest youth organizations in the United States. Our son has been a Scout since he was 8 years old, when he became a Bear (Cub) Scout. He is now 18 and working on his Eagle rank. This is the highest rank that a Boy Scout can achieve, and it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. As we prepare for this momentous achievement, I am looking at the many Boy Scout layouts that I've made during the past 10 years. It is a bittersweet journey, as my little boy has now become a young man. Since he also has special needs, this takes on another level of significance for our family. This is one of my favorite photos of David, who is the bugler for his troop. I kept this layout simple, using patterned papers by K and Company, cardstock by Bazzill, and white acrylic paint. I cut the fleur-de-lis with my Cricut, but this Sizzix die would work very well too. I cut the circle with the Martha Stewart Circle Cutter. I printed out the journaling; and although I used rub-on letters that are no longer being manufactured for the title, these epoxy letters by Heidi Swapp look very similar. This layout was originally 8" x 8" in size, but I wanted to include it in David's 12" x 12" album. So I simply layered the smaller layout onto a 12" x 12" piece of matching cardstock. This is an easy way to adapt a smaller layout for inclusion in a larger album. For this double-page layout, I used an older line of papers by K and Company, but the same look can be achieved by using strips of cardstock, letter stickers, and dies. I punched the fleur-de-lis and scalloped border, eliminating the need for purchased embellishments. I also included the patch that he earned during that year at Boy Scout Camp as an additional embellishment. This time I hand-wrote the journaling and cut the title out with my Cricut machine. Like the organization itself, David has undergone many changes and faced many challenges; and we look forward to the day in the very near future when he achieves the ultimate goal of Eagle Scout. I hope that in these simple layouts you will find some ideas for celebrating the achievements of the Boy Scout(s) in your life. |

4/21/2013Straightforward and informative, easy reference to Michelin reviews
4/19/2013Good app but can't change from km to miles. Very weak bit other than that good app, flows nice
4/18/2013Very good app. Always has all kind of information anywhere you are. Very well integrated with here map, and works,with your offline maps. Amazing!
1/6/2013Does a good job of highlighting interesting spots. Search is good. Complaint is that I uploaded a number of photos for spots I've been. Over a week later, no notification or email, and none of them are visible. UPDATE: Several weeks later the images were added. Another idea: please add a "feedback" button per listing. Two places had different rates than what you said. It would be nice to be able to let you know.

How do I know if my plan covers my prescription drug?
Who is this for?
If you have prescription drug coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan or Blue Care Network, this information explains how to find out if your plan will pay for your medication.
You may have a lot of questions for your doctor when you visit. If the one question you forget to ask is "Will my plan cover the drug you're prescribing?"—we'll tell you how to get the answer.
Most Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network members can find out if a medication is covered by logging on to Member Secured Services.
- After you've logged in, select the Hospitals, Physicians and Medications tab. The link to Medco Online Pharmacy will take you to Express Scripts (Medco's old name). You won't have to log in again.
In the left-hand column under "Prescriptions & benefits," select "Price a medication" and follow the instructions. You'll need to know the name of the medication, the dosage, and how often you'll be taking it.
Using a drug list
You can look at a drug list, also called a formulary, to see if your plan covers your medication. What's a drug list? It's a list of drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network.
- You can find the drug list for your plan here.
- "How to read a drug list" will help make it easier to understand formularies.
