"I have a television so I know what a family is supposed to look like but mine is nothing like that. To begin with, both my parents are dead. Not the kind of dead where you bury them in the ground, say some nice words, cry a lot and then never see them again. Nope, when they died they refused to 'go into the light' or whatever it is you're supposed to do when you die. Instead, they came back home. As ghosts. Have you ever been sent to your room by a parent who has no corporeal form? I have and it sucks..."
Xandra Illuminata Smith has lived for the last three years with ghosts as parents but her life gets even stranger after her seventeenth birthday when she finds out that her mother is actually a Witch in hiding and her biological father, whom she knew nothing about, is a Fairy and King of the Fae realm.
Xandra is the first Witch Fairy to be born in thousands of years for very good reason. No one should be able to control that much magic and Xandra was never meant to be born at all but her mother has managed to keep her hidden away until now.
The Witches want her dead and the Fairies want her blood, for only her blood will reopen the gateway to the Fae realm and allow them back into this realm to take revenge on humans and Witches alike for having banished them hundreds of years ago.
Xandra has very little time to learn how to use her powerful Witch and Fairy magic that has been bound since her birth while running from the Fairies who managed to jump realms and want to take her blood to set the others free. She needs someone to teach her and her parents enlist the help of one powerful Fairy who claims to want to keep the realms closed to each other. He will help keep her safe and alive as she learns, at least that's what he says...

Totally addicted! It's possible I might need Audible rehab.
"More romance than anything else."
Great performance from Emily Durante as usual. This story wasn't listed as a romance, if it had been I wouldn't have chosen it.
"Loved the story"
The characters were intriguing.
When Xandra found out her secret.
Smooth, calm and familiar
There was some redundancy in the story.
"Too whiny"
I usually enjoy YA books but this one is not one I enjoyed. The main character,Xandra, was unlike able , whiny and too sarcastic. Cannot recommend
Kindle Freak
"Nice read"
I'm looking for a new author to read ever since L.A. Banks died. It been hard but I think I can give this series of books a try.
"It was pretty good considering I got it free"
I got this book free for kindle and the audio upgrade was 2 dollars so I figured okay. I liked the story for what it is and I will more than likely read this series of book
"Just not believable. Too contrived"
No. It was too contrived. I love fantasy but the situations were too contrived and the Xandra is just not believable as a person. She is too spoiled and dumb. Plus I am so tired of the story line that parents forget or never get around to telling their child they are a world changer and some group is out to kill them. If any such parents leave their child so unprepared then they deserve the death that always happens to them in these stories.
She performed well. She had a good voice and was entertaining but the story was not good.
Try to avoid similar works.
I loved this book. Made me giggle out loud but also had me nearly crying at some points. Great story,

This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:38.
Courses taught by Richard Jennings
07415: Project Delivery (PRO 0741500)
Lecture - 4 credits
Monday 3:00 - 6:00 Gund 124
Richard Jennings
Course Description
Major changes are underway in the design and construction industry. Advances in technology, increased owner-user expectations, and new approaches to project delivery are affecting every aspect of the way projects are commissioned, negotiated, and delivered. The past is no longer prologue. New approaches to project delivery will be required to deliver future innovative design concepts. Students should have an understanding of the fundamental, underlying principles of translating design concepts from virtual exemplification into physical reality, rather than reiteration of techniques that may be used in today's design and construction environment.
This course covers the latest theory and practices of managing and delivering design projects, including understanding the role of the designer in project delivery; coalescing owner, designer, constructor and fabricator relationships; achieving leading-edge and innovative design solutions and fabrications; exploiting technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) to improve the design-fabrication interface; project start up; project scoping, scheduling and budgeting; financial aspects of projects; traditional and collaborative design and construction delivery processes, including design-build, bridging, fast-track, CM-Advisor, CM@Risk, and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD); communication among the owner-designer-constructor-fabricator team; project risks and mitigation; introduction to the concepts of earned value, design services during construction, project close-out, commissioning, post-occupancy evaluation, and other project delivery topics. Designed for students of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, as well as MDesS students in the Real Estate and the Built Environment programs, and others who desire to increase their knowledge of project management and delivery. The course is comprised of lectures, role-playing exercises, case studies and team assignments. Expert guest speakers will address specific topics. This course complements other professional practice, real estate, and project-oriented courses at the GSD.
Assigned readings and short written assignments on relevant topics. Activities will include team projects and role-playing exercises. There will be a midterm and final paper or project in lieu of examinations.
Student evaluations will be based on class attendance, preparation and participation (20%), written assignments (25%), the midterm paper (25%), and the final paper (30%).
Texts and Readings
Integrated Project Delivery: A Guide, American Institute of Architects and the AIA California Council. [Will be distributed as a PDF handout.] Selected readings from Refabricating Architecture by Keiran and Timberlake, Fabricating Architecture: Selected Readings by Robert Corser, and other relevant literature. In addition, The Project Management Institute's Body of Knowledge (PMI BOK) will be discussed; [Will be distributed as a PDF handout.] Selected readings from The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice, 14th Edition, American Institute of Architects, and Integrated Practice in Architecture by George Elvin will be assigned. [Both on reserve in Loeb Library.] Additional articles and readings will be provided in PDF format via the course website.
07440: Leading the Design Firm (PRO 0744000)
Architecture, Landscape Architecture
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday 8:30 - 11:30 Gund 109
Brian Kenet, Richard Jennings
Course Description
This course introduces students to the business side of the design industry. It highlights the ways in which a design firm is a business like any other but with unique cultural, strategic, and financial characteristics. The course covers leadership and management of design firms and includes topics such as starting and leading a new design firm; marketing, promotion; management and leadership; organization and staffing; finance and economics; the life cycle of design firms including ownership transition, succession planning, and mergers and acquisitions.
The course addresses the unique leadership challenges of design firms through the combined lenses of professionals holding leadership positions in the industry and relevant academic theories, through which students gain an in-depth understanding of design firm leadership. This course is vital for Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Planning, MDesS, and other students desiring to understand how design firms are started, led and managed.
The course is comprised of lectures, written assignments, and real-world cases and examples. Expert guest speakers address specific topics. This course fulfills the professional practice elective requirement for MArch and MLA students and complements other practice-related courses offered at the GSD.
Grades will be based on attendance and class participation (20%), individual written assignments (25%), the midterm paper (25%), and the final paper or project (30%). There is no required textbook for the course. Readings will be assigned from The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice, 14th Edition, published by the American Institute of Architects on reserve in Loeb Library for this course. Additional articles and readings will be provided in digital format via the course website.

If you are looking for a low maintenance, easy care plant, perennial grasses are for you! These graceful plants add depth and texture to your garden in summer, fall AND winter. They vary in form and function and are equally at home in an informal or formal setting.
Grasses tolerate a wide range of light and soil conditions and there is a variety for nearly every garden situation. There are both cool and warm season grasses. Cool season grasses begin growing in early spring and hit their prime in early summer. Their plumes, officially called inflorescence, are produced in the cooler months. Warm season grasses begin to grow when the temperatures rise in the spring. By mid-May the new leaves emerge and begin growing very quickly and by mid...Read more

All the crazy weather and fluctuating temperatures this summer has us seeing all sorts of things happening in the garden. The goal is always healthy plants because healthy plants are better able to deal with stress of all kinds. But we know sometimes things go awry.
Correct watering is essential during the summer months. Newly planted trees, shrubs, and perennials should be checked every day for the first week, every other day during the second week and every third day during the third week. Soil should be dry 1-2" under the surface before watering. For the rest of the summer, once a week should do it.
Annuals and vegetable plants will need more water. Even watering of tomatoes will keep them healthy.
The first step is maintaining ...Read more

Have you noticed that almost every magazine photo of a garden has a piece of garden art in them? That is no accident. Every garden needs a focal point, something to draw the eye, something that adds interest. Focal points can be many different things. Containers, benches, found objects, large flowering and/or leafed plants are just a few ideas. Garden sculptures, trellises, arbors, mirrors, fountains, and wall art are some of the many options for garden art. You get the idea, once you get the concept of using focal points, the choices are endless!
Garden art (focal points) do not have to be one of a kind. They can be small groupings of coordinated pieces. The groupings should be viewed as one unit. Be careful not to overload your garden with too many items or to scatter them.

Have you ever noticed that the smell of a blooming rose, or a breeze carrying the scent of lilac, takes you back to a distant memory? Or, perhaps, the scent of lavender or night blooming jasmine makes you feel calm or peaceful? Well, according to scientists, smell, or olfaction, is our strongest sense and it plays an important role in memory, mood and emotion.
Fragrant gardens are a wonderful way to celebrate the smell of every season and relish in the aromatic scents of spring, summer and fall. Below, we've created a digest to get you started.
Winter has quieted down and the scent of evergreens, cedar, and chestnuts roasting on an open fire has become a distant memory. It's time to get those shovels ready and take to the ga...Read more

Container planting is a fun, simple way to decorate your patio, balcony, front porch or yard. Not to mention, containers are the perfect accent for that backyard barbecue and a great way to explore your creative side. Whether you're new to gardening and want to stretch that green thumb of yours, or a seasoned gardener looking for a vibrant focal piece, the options are endless. When deciding on what container to create, there are a few things to consider before diving in head first:
There's an array of materials to consider, glazed/ceramic, cast iron, wrought iron, terracotta, concrete, wood, tin, composite/faux and plastic. Remember, it's important that your container has drainage. Too much water building up in the container...Read more

When we think of pollinators, striking hummingbirds and colorful butterflies may take the lead. However, while bees, wasps, flies and bats might not be our favorites of the bunch, the truth of the matter is, they need us too and we need them.
It's been estimated that more than 1,300 plants are grown worldwide for food, beverages, medicine and even textiles. Of those 1,300 plants, 75% are directly related to pollination by animals. That's a pretty impressive feat!

The weather outside this week has been frightful and we are (not so patiently waiting) to plant our tomatoes and other warm season vegetables. One of our veggie experts, Donna, has put together some simple tips for vegetable success. Donna grows so many vegetables she's basically a one woman produce department!
Most warm season veggies, like tomatoes and peppers, need lots of sun. Make sure you plant them in a place where they will get 6-8 hours of sun. Plants also need good air circulation and well-drained soil. Don't plant them too close together.
The ideal pH for a vegetable garden is 6.5-6.8. Mix in TGP Garden Mix and Espoma® Garden-tone to give your plants a healthy start. For tomatoes, you can use Espoma® Toma...Read more

Flowers hold fascination from childhood. Remember picking a handful of dandelions to give to mom? We always try to bring a bit of the beauty of nature into our homes in any way we can and gathering flowers for a bouquet is just one of the simple pleasures of planting a garden.
If you want to have a steady stream of flowers to cut, create a production style bed with rows, similar to how you would plant a vegetable garden. If you have space, you could even designate an area of your vegetable garden but we like to keep it simple by mixing plants into your established gardens. In fact, you probably already have some cutting flowers in your garden!
Combine blooms for every season and plants with an array of textures like shiny, rough, frill...Read more

When you think of trees, what state jumps to mind? California, with its redwoods? Vermont and its sugar maples? How about Nebraska? A naturally treeless prairie landscape, Nebraska is the birthplace of Arbor Day!
The holiday began with journalist Julius Sterling Morton, who moved from Detroit to Nebraska in 1854. At the time, the wide open spaces of the west weren't working out so well for pioneers — the shadeless prairie was hot in the summer, with few windbreaks to keep tilled soil from blowing right into Kansas. The solution? Plant a tree.
Morton rose to become the state secretary and helped establish the first Arbor Day on April 10, 1872. More than 1 million trees were planted across the state that day. Arbor Day became a natio...Read more

Comments about iRobot Roomba® 600 Series Replenishment Kit:
Have 2 dogs that are constantly in and out. Picks up the daily dirt and hair in the main living room by the door. Still have to vacuum to get corners and spots it misses, but it does make a huge difference. The dogs just get up and move. It doesn't bother them. Do make sure you don't have cords or anything that can get caught in it. There is a part that is supposed to produce a signal to keep it out of a room, virtual wall, I cant get that to work.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pretty good cleaner but don't get rid of your Vacuum Cleaner
By Peter469
from Frisco, TX
About Me Homeowner, Pet Owner
The Roomba does a decent job of cleaning but don't discard your regular vacuum cleaner as Roomba misses spots and cannot get under some furniture. Important especially if you have pets. It is handy for regular cleaning but for a detailed cleaning you still need to vacuum the old fashioned way.

Prior and Broad pressurise India
Follow the Investec Test series on ecb.co.uk - click here for all the latest news, exclusive interviews, video highlights and match reports
Matt Prior and Stuart Broad combined to keep England in charge on day four of the first npower Test at Lord's, although a late India fightback saw them reach 80 for one in pursuit of an unlikely target of 458.
Prior, who walked out to bat with the hosts 62 for five in their second innings, eschewed risk in the early stages of his innings before accelerating to a wonderful century, his sixth in Test cricket.
The wicketkeeper-batsman finished unbeaten on 103 from 120 deliveries and put on 162 for the seventh wicket with Broad, who compiled an aggressive 90-ball 74, as England declared on 269 for six in the evening session.
Broad, who picked up 4-37 in the first innings, then enjoyed further success with the ball, bowling India opener Abhinav Mukund via inside edge for the second time in the match.
Rahul Dravid, who made 103 not out on day three, and VVS Laxman, each promoted up the order after opener Gautam Gambhir suffered a blow to his elbow in the field, used all their vast experience to make it through to stumps on 34 and 32 respectively.
However, India still face a stiff test to save, or indeed win, the game on a surface that continues to offer occasional encouragement to the seamers.
The tourists also have concerns over the fitness of Sachin Tendulkar, who spent much of the day on the sidelines due to a viral infection and will not be able to bat until 12:41pm tomorrow, or the fall of the fifth wicket.
While England may have ended the fourth day in a position as strong as the one they occupied at the start of play, they were initially given cause for concern as Ishant Sharma tore through their top order prior to lunch.
The tall paceman struck thrice as four wickets fell for just eight runs in the morning session and also accounted for Eoin Morgan before Prior and Broad put England back in the box seat with a superb counter-attacking stand that represents a new record for England's seventh wicket against India.
Andrew Strauss signalled his intentions this morning with back-to-back boundaries off Praveen Kumar, first guiding him down to fine-leg before launching into a full-blooded pull through midwicket.
Alastair Cook could only make one, however, before he nicked a beautiful outswinger from Praveen Kumar through to wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Jonathan Trott endured some hairy moments upon his arrival at the crease, but grabbed his first boundary in characteristic fashion, flicking a short delivery through midwicket authoritatively.
The contest entered a lull after drinks, with both batsmen seemingly struggling to score freely, and the pressure told as Strauss – attempting an ambitious slog-sweep – was trapped leg before by Harbhajan Singh for 32.
That brought Kevin Pietersen to the crease but he did not last long, Ishant accounting for him in the next over.
In truth, there was little the batsman could do about an excellent delivery that reared off a length and caught the glove, with Dhoni doing the rest.
Things got even better for Ishant a few balls later as another beautiful delivery caught Ian Bell's edge to leave Dhoni with a simple catch.
Trott responded impressively, cutting Harbhajan to the cover boundary, but even he had no answer to the irresistible Ishant.
Getting a delivery to nip back against the slope, Trott was left powerless as the delivery went through bat and pad.
India continued to crank up the pressure after lunch and Morgan was fortuitous to survive when a leading edge off Harbhajan looped into a vacant area on the off side.
Runs started to come more easily thereafter, with Prior and Morgan showing positive intent.
The latter, in particular, appeared increasingly at ease with conditions as England moved past 100, but, with the partnership seemingly thriving, Ishant accounted for Morgan.
Having bowled a noticeably full length, it was the surprise bouncer which did the trick as the left-hander mis-cued a pull to midwicket, where Gambhir took a fine diving catch.
Morgan hung around for a while but third umpire Marais Erasmus confirmed the ball had been taken cleanly.
Prior continued to impress and took the lead past 300 with a glorious cover-driven four off Ishant, who finished with 4-59.
Broad, who registered a golden duck in the first innings, settled into his stride quickly, although he was lucky to see outside edges off Harbhajan and Praveen land safely.
India also had other worries, with Gambhir forced to leave the field after being struck on the elbow at short-leg by a powerful sweep from Prior, who brought up his own fifty from 78 balls soon after.
Tea was taken with the hosts on 174 for six and runs flowed freely thereafter, although Prior, on 62, was fortunate to survive after top-edging a slog-sweep off Harbhajan into a gap in the field.
Broad launched Harbhajan down the ground for four and hooked Ishant behind square for another boundary shortly before reaching his seventh Test fifty from 76 deliveries.
The century partnership was raised later in the same Harbhajan over and when England moved past 400 it was clear a declaration was imminent, with both batsmen throwing caution to the wind.
Dhoni brought himself into the attack, but was taken for 12 in his first over, and Prior moved serenely into the nineties with a tremendous six over square-leg off Suresh Raina.
Broad brought up the 150 partnership with a powerful strike through the covers for four and repeated the trick off Raina's next delivery to move to 73.
When Prior spanked the same bowler to the point boundary to bring up a truly magnificent hundred, Strauss decided to unleash his attack on India's weakened batting line-up.
A buoyant Broad wasted little time in making an impression, removing Abhinav with his third ball after replacing James Anderson at the Nursery End.
The Nottinghamshire all-rounder went on to beat Dravid's outside and inside edge with consecutive deliveries during a testing spell, but England were unable to make a second breakthrough.
Dravid greeted the introducton of Graeme Swann in the 18th over with an elegant cut in front of square for four and the first ball of the spinner's next over was swept to the midwicket fence by an increasingly assured Laxman, who also prospered off Chris Tremlett to the tune of three consecutive boundaries.
By the time stumps were drawn, the veteran India duo had put on 61 and, given their past history, England will be desperate to grab an early wicket on the final day.

Bulletstorm's Profanity Took its Polish Developer by Surprise
Upon reading a translated script, People Can Fly's creative director blushed.
Of course, that should be a given as it showcases footage from Bulletstorm, a game laced with profanity. The video is a collection of many of the swears from the early portion of the game and is just a sample of what you'll hear over the course of the full campaign. Given just how much naughty language there is, one might assume developer People Can Fly was fully aware of how it would come across. Yet it wasn't until fairly late in the game that the Polish developer grasped just how dirty the characters' mouths are.
"Do you know any swear word in a foreign language," asked People Can Fly creative director Adrian Chmielarz in an interview with Game Developer (via Gamasutra). "German, French, Polish? When you say it out loud, no biggie, right? Not a problem to use it during a family dinner, I assume?
"That is how all the f-bombs sounded to us. Being Polish, all the strong language in Bulletstorm was just exotic and fun to us. We did not feel its power. In other words, Epic thought this is what we wanted and respected our creative vision, while we had no idea this vision was a bit more than we really wanted."
Bulletstorm was co-developed by Epic Games and published by Electronic Arts this past February. Epic acquired a majority interest in PCF back in 2007.
"It was only at the end of the development, when I read the Polish translation of the game, that I realized how dirty we were," Chmielarz continued. "I swear a lot. A LOT. And yet still I ...kind of blushed."
In addition to the language used by the characters, various skillshots -- awarded for doing certain things like shooting an enemy in the crotch or butt -- have innuendo-inspired names like "Deep Penetration," "Gag Reflex," "Rear Entry," "Ejeculated," and of course we can't forget "Assplosion." A combination of this along with other aspects of the game led Fox News to ask if Bulletstorm was the worst game in the world. EA didn't feel the controversy was such a bad thing, and that it should actually be "courted" where appropriate.
The game itself turned out to be good but not great, and controversy or not, it didn't end up as a moneymaker for Epic. That doesn't mean expectations for People Can Fly are any lower -- Epic president Mike Capps said over the summer, "The next thing we do with People Can Fly will be great."

What a bunch of pussy maggots! You wouldn't know a good game if it made sweet passionate love to your eye sockets! What kind of crusty shit stain would you have to be, to not see the awesome in this game? Now I have a pretty active imagination. Just ask you mom. But even I can not rap my head around the kind of malfunction, you would have, to not, and completely, not understand the epic proportions of amazing this game offers. What do you need soldier? Need some prune juice to facilitate in the removal of the stick that seems to be logged up your-
Is what I imagine the good old general would say if he read this article.
Perfect gamePosted: Oct 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by Greendewey
What if we mashed up Bulletstorm and Duke Nukem? Greatest game ever....for a 13 year old.
Fuck that fucking game was fucking juvenilePosted: Oct 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by Apollo_Helios
It didn't have any power, any strength to the words. The script felt like it was written by an 8th grader who just learned all the major curse words and had to use them all in every single scene. This made the game nigh unplayable for me.

How has this hotel rated in the past?
Historical Traveler Reviews Crowne Plaza Downtown - Northstar Minneapolis
Excellent hotel with great staff
Stayed for only one night but was impressed with the hotel. Excellent front desk staff at both checkin and checkout - quick, efficient, friendly, great knowledge of the area.
Hotel has fantastic beds that are extra comfortable and include sleep CD, etc. Bathrooms include usual extras for Crown Plaza.
Disappointed that wireless was an extra cost of $10.00/24 hour which drives me crazy since low cost hotels (Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express) include free wireless.
Decent cable television but movie selection was extremely limited the night I stayed.
Breakfast was excellent but I was surprised at how small the restaurant seemed for the size of the hotel.
16th floor seemed to be a quiet floor and it certainly was quiet everytime I left the room and came back - not a sound from any of the rooms. Not sure how full the hotel was so maybe that helped in keeping the hotel quiet.
Highly recommended.
Loved the service and detail to attention
My 3 day stay was absolutely great at the Crown Plaza. From the time I arrived being greeted by friedly smiling faces w/ a warm welcome to the time I left. The hotel is spotless and so very clean.
The staff is exceptional and very knowledgable. My service was superb. The one occasion in particular was the a.m. lady called Marlene (Marla) that was in charge of the meeting rooms. She welcomed everyone every a.m. with a chipper, friendly, sincere "good morning". How could you not have a good day after meeting her. She proceded to make sure all of the food and beverages were accomodating to all of us. She went the extra mile for me when she found out my Crystal lite was accidently tossed. I was amazed to find a new package after our break. I never would have expected that---and I really was not upset it was gone.I was simply teasing the leaders that they drank it on me and Marla over heard the conversation and hunted for it until she realized a staff person probably thought it was garbage. Which is so understandable. For her to take the time and the "care" was and is so memorable to me that I am still telling my family and friends about the sweet, kind, thoughtful lady that made my day better each day.
After lunch she gave us a great tour of the womens' wing and gave us some great other information about the hotel. She is a jewel--hang on to her.
The gentleman that helped w/technical problems was another great employee (Jim I think is his name)he was informative, friendly and sincerely of great assistance.
The food was fresh and quality everyday. I ate 2 salads everyday for lunch. Simply because I could not decide and they were all so great so I am glad I ate 2 every day.
Thank you for a delightful, unique, and memorable experience. Keep up the outstanding job!!!
Lorah Palmer
P.s. I come from a hotel family and have been in the hospitality real estate business for 36 years. I know quality and I know perfection and how hard it is to get. I commend all of you for achieving that and truly knowing the definition of "hospitality".
Have a super-terrific day!!!
Not bad, but nothing special
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad hotel. I've been staying here three nights a week all year, and they've been ok. There is nothing that really turns me on to this hotel. The rooms are ok. The beds are great, I will give them that.
I normally stay at Marriott or Hilton properties, so I am probably comparing to their level of service. I'm new to the Priority Club, however they did immediately upgrade me to Platinum status which was a plus. However there are no upgrades or additional amenities for being Platinum.
If you have to stay in the downtown area, it is in a convenient location, and the staff is usually nice to deal with (there have been exceptions on the negative side).
Great Hotel - Great Beds
As a Platinum Member, I found this hotel to be very pleasant. The rooms are nicely furnished. I was upgraded to my concierge level, but the lounge on that level isn't open on weekends. I would like to see that changed.
I found the staff to be exceptional and friendly. There is a AWESOME sushi bar/restaurant and club across the street I highly recommend. Another great restaurant is about a 4blk taxi ride called Vincent's.
The upgraded beds they now have at Crowne Plaza's is the best thing they have done with the chain. I did get a chance to be in the Presidential Suite before I left. It was a nice room with a lovely conference/living area...but didn't have as much WOW factor as I expected. Would recommend it for those who have hospitality needs with a med size group.
I would like them to be a little more informative with the parking ramp as you can easily park out of the way of the hotel access.
Don't hesitate to stay here!
This is a great hotel!
I recently returned from a weekend in Minneapolis, and I can't say enough good things about my experience at the Crowne Plaza. The rooms were very clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff members were the friendliest I have ever encountered. The first night we arrived, our bellman John provided us with a list of bars and restaurants that he thought we would be interested in. Everything he suggested was within walking distance to the hotel, and his choices couldn't have been better. There is a nice sky garden on the 8th floor to enjoy an evening cocktail, and a wonderful bar on the first level. Every employee we encountered in the hotel had a wonderful, helpful attitude. The bellman, by far, were our favorite part of the hotel. Personable, funny and very helpful! We will definitely return to the Crowne Plaza!
Great location, most comfortable beds
Stayed a quick night at the Crown this past weekend and what a nice place! The staff was great, parking convenient and affordable ($8.95 vs. $15 if not in hotel). We walked to all the sights in the Warehouse District and just around the corner is a good Bagel / coffee shop for your morning fix (Breuggers?).
Crown Plaza has put emphasis on the sleep experience and the beds come with tons of pillows and a duvet. They also provide a sleep package with a relaxation CD, eyemask, earplugs,and lavander spray. I did'nt need them but they are yours to keep when you leave.
Thanks to TripAdvisor and other reviewers on this website which led me to this Hotel!
Downtown Location with pleasant staff
The Crowne Plaza Northstar was an fine choice for downtown Minneapolis. It is located 2 blocks from Nicolette Mall (shopping, dining). The room was recently redone and very nice. The walls are a bit thin which meant we were able to hear the college age kids going from room to room in the hallway during the evening. But for the price we paid compared to other downtown locations, it fit our needs perfectly. The dining in the hotel is limited so I'd suggest eating at one of the many wonderful places nearby
Nice choice for business or pleasure
Just returned from a three night stay at the Crowne Plaza Northstar, and was very pleased with the hotel. The common areas of the hotel and my room on the 10th floor were both in excellent condition. The room was tastefully decorated, about average size with ample closet space, and very clean. The bathroom was all marble and also very clean, it had a good shower and non-slip bathtub, with ample towels and nice selection of toiletries. There is also a vanity area right outside the bathroom with an additional sink. I have to mention the bed...it was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in; I understand that these are new beds especially designed for comfort for the Crowne Plaza chain. Also a good selection of pillows - 2 soft and 2 firmer for each bed. High speed wireless internet access was available in my standard room, although it is not free. As far as the common areas, there is a nice outdoor Skygarden on the 8th floor to sit outside. I had a good breakfast each morning in the 7th floor restaurant, although restaurant and room service are both pricey. Also a nice bar/lounge area off the first floor lobby with friendly bartenders. The hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel was located in the heart of downtown, several nice restaurants nearby and close to Nicollet Mall and the new Light Rail line. There is also an indoor mini-mall that can be accessed from inside the hotel. All in all, an excellent stay with no complaints.
Right Downtown
Just got back from a business trip to Minneapolis. Stayed three nights at the Crowne Plaza. Great location close to everything in Minneapolis.
Woke up the first morning and had a funky shower head that was spurting water on me and spraying off to the side on the floor. On my way out I asked the front desk to look at it. When I got back in the evening they had changed the showerhead and left a note apologizing for the problem.
Good hotel for the price but bathrooms need a little updating to be a Crowne Plaza. Busy lobby bar even on a Monday - but a bit smoky! Would stay again.
Quiet, comfortable
Just got back from a 5 night stay. This hotel is perfectly fine for most needs. I was disappointed that they didn't offer high speed internet access in their "standard" rooms. Otherwise, it's clean and convenient to restaurants and shopping.

text: So I was considering a switch to WordPress and I had some simple questions, but none of my concerns were previously about community support. Based on the complete lack of any responses for simple questions I've had about WordPress, I'm now skeptical that I'll be S.O.L. if I switched from Blogger to WordPress and ever have an issue down the road. I doubt anybody will respond to this post either. I've never had any problems getting help from the Blogger-user community, and that's quite sad considering WordPress is an open-source project.

Interactive Tool: How Does Smoking Affect Your Lifespan (cont.)
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
What does your score mean?
The damage caused by smoking varies from person to person. This tool uses an estimate based on statistical averages to increase your awareness of how smoking may be impacting your life.
This tool does not calculate the long-term impact smoking will have on the quality of your life and the lives of people you care about. The disabling effects of smoking-related illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, or emphysema can cause significant suffering and medical expense, regardless of whether they directly affect the number of years of your life.
How much time smoking takes from your life also depends on lifestyle choices other than smoking, such as eating habits and exercise. These factors may increase or decrease the amount of time your life will be shortened by smoking.

Budgetary moves seems plausible, and so does the fact that Da Costa earned his spot.

If Pageau, Da Costa, Z-bad, Conacher, O'Brien, Stone, and Hoffman are all in competition for three spots, all season long, I think it's a good thing for the team.

In the end, my money's on Z-bad earning his spot back, based on his on-ice performance. Keep on DJ-ing email@example.com

The body of a woman was found Friday morning by a passerby about eight miles east of Boise City, Okla., on U.S. Highway 56.
The body is believed to be a Hispanic female between the age of 35 and 50, Jessica Brown, spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation, said Tuesday.
Brown said the woman, who carried no identification, has not been identified, Brown said.
Brown said the investigation is ongoing and is considered a suspicious death.
No signs of trauma appeared on the body, which was taken to Oklahoma City for an autopsy, Brown said.
A trucker passing by noticed the body in a ditch about 9 a.m. and notified the Cimarron County Sheriff's Office, Brown said. The OSBI was then notified by the sheriff's office.

Running Time: 139
Company: Playhouse
Cast: Anjali Kara, Alexis Silver, Aaliyah (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Brown Sugar Rush, as advertised, is about black ladies getting it on with great big cock.
Anjali Kara has a killer body and pouty lips that look great wrapped around a cock. Proving that she doesn't need a cock to look good, she plays with her pretty snatch and tits solo and it's just as hot.
Alexis Silver, too, is very hot, with great jugs. She delivers a blowjob complete with smoke and then gets plowed. Well.
This isn't going to win any awards, but it's a good, solid effort that will cause erections to alight, and isn't that what you watch for?
Retailing: Very solid sort-of ebony release is better than most.

El Libro del Cementerio = The Graveyard Book (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
July 2008 Indie Next List
"A delightfully layered story of Nobody Owens, who is raised by the semi-living and the dead in a graveyard. Gaiman uses wit and his depth of knowledge of the arcane to create a safe and nurturing world for the young orphan to grow and thrive in. This will be a joy for all ages!"
— Jane Jacobs, Porter Square Books, Cambridge, MA
Guided by instinct, a baby escapes from the crib in the middle of the night and manage to reach the cemetery near his home. The man who pursues him, knife in glove, just murdered his entire family and is determined to end with him. But the ghosts of the graveyard protect the child and welcome him into their land. Although this time has escaped, the sinister Jack will not rest until fulfilling his mission.

The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief: either to perish, or to catch up with the advanced countries and outdistance them, too, in economic matters.
Nikolai Lenin (1870 - 1924)
Source: The Impending Catastrophe and How to Fight It, 1917
Contributed by: Zaady
Every attempt, by whatever authority, to fix a maximum of productive labor by a given worker in a given time is an unjust restriction upon his freedom and a limitation of his right to make the most of himself in order that he may rise in the scale of the social and economic order in which he lives. The notion that all human beings born into this world enter at birth into a definite social and economic classification, in which classification they must remain permanently through life, is wholly false and fatal to a progressive civilization.
Nicholas Butler (1862 - 1947)
Time Management Tips: One can make a radar-like sweep of the horizon to identify time and task challenges while these are still manageable and while we still have a choice. The organizational adage, "the more parts, the more trouble," also applies to words. Multiplying words may actually multiply the probability of being misunderstood; economies in expression (without being taciturn or aloof) not only save time, but usually are more honest and more clear. Regarding writing down thoughts and ideas: often we never recover what came to us once and went unused. What is the wisest use I can make of this sliver of time? Commit rather explicitly to goals.
Neal Maxwell (1926 -)
Source: The Smallest Part,, © by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. Used by permission.
The only standard we have for judging all of our social, economic, and political institutions and arrangements as just or unjust, as good or bad, as better or worse, derives from our conception of the good life for man on earth, and from our conviction that, given certain external conditions, it is possible for men to make good lives for themselves by their own efforts.
Mortimer Jerome Adler (1902 -)
Fundamentally, there are only two ways of coordinating the economic activities of millions. One is central direction involving the use of coercion - the technique of the army and of the modern totalitarian state. The other is voluntary cooperation of individuals - the technique of the marketplace.
Milton Friedman (1912 - 2006)

The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy.
We ... tend to evaluate others on the basis of physical, outward appearance: their "good looks," their social status, their family pedigrees, their degrees, or their economic situations. The Lord, however, has a different standard by which he measures a person. When it came time to choose a king to replace King Saul, the Lord gave this criteria to his prophet Samuel: "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; ... for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."

A study of economics usually reveals that the best time to buy anything is last year.

Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.
Martin Luther King Jr (1929 - 1968)
Source: Strength to Love, 1963.
Government at all levels has emerged as our number one growth industry...for the first time in American history - even in the history of the Western industrialized world - there are more people working for government at all levels (18.7 million) than in manufacturing (18.1 million). Since manufacturing jobs make money while government jobs take money, this has become an equation for economic disaster.

This link is to the agency over loan officers in the State of Texas.
They take complaints VERY seriously. They are on the consumer's side!!!
They have not spent any money on your file that you need to pay them back for. Up front application fees are a ploy to make you feel roped into the transaction and less likely to shop around.
You should name the lender.
Tell them to produce an invoice detailing the charges that you owe. They won't produce it because they can't.
Good for you by calling the credit card company.

The weather is so iffy one minute it is raining and the next the sun is out. Or one day it snows then the next its warm outside so it really affects my plans and campus activities as well.
Moving from the warm coast to Greensboro was initially good. Fall semester starts out hot and sunny which I am used to. The fall isn't that bad, you'll have hot days and chilly days and some storms. The winter is when it all goes to hell. In December, January, and February it will most likely be freezing with mountain air blowing in to make it worse. Or a nice day like 70 and sunny to just play with you then a huge snowstorm. But mostly winter is cold, cloudy, windy, some snow, and some beautiful nice days mixed in to throw you off. In March Its either hot or cold. One week in March it was literally 80 degrees and snowed the next day. April and May things start to settle down and stay nice and warm nothing to hot. The hottest days are in August and September with highs in the 90s.
North Carolina weather is extremely bi-polar! Just be prepared.
alot you get behind and stuff is rushed on you

A kaleidoscope of diverse craft beers pours from the taps at Brew, with seven different drafts and dozens of bottled beers available on a single night. Bartenders pull tap handles and snap bottle caps off of beers from Rogue, Dogfish Head, Stone, and Abita, as well as other seasonal selections. The selection of beer complements hookah as well as pool. Brew's team also mixes up an array of cocktails with liquors like Jack Daniels Honey and Jose 1800, named for the year in which Thomas Jefferson enjoyed his first jello shot.

Released: May 01st, 2003
Running Time: 100
Director: Jim Holliday
Company: VCA Pictures
Cast: Ryan Conner, Hunny Butter, Mark Ashley, Anna Mills, Kelsey, Raylin, Lita Chase, Hash Pipe, Root Loggins, Vanessa McKenzie, Katie Morgan, Petra (I), Olivia Saint, Casey Pink, Wanda Play, Bunny Luv, Felecia, Marty Romano, Monica Mayhem, Lexi Lamour, Tawny Roberts, Shayla LaVeaux, Sabrine Maui, Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Fans of Felicia, Monica Mayhem and summer camp fantasies will likely score a copy.
Camp Dumb sure ain't your average Summer Camp! Unlike the geeks in, say, Meatballs, the counselors and campers here get to go balls deep in a cadre of beautiful female coeds and enjoy some fun in the sun and never once have to run an obstacle coarse to prove their merit.
We open with a rail-thin sucking down a counselor's meat before hopping up for a cowgirl ride and later taking it up the poop chute. "You better not cum in my face," she warns. This brisk opener is fleeting, but indicative of what's to cum: lots of nubile young chicks boning dudes or each other in cabins or outdoors.
With such a large cast of performers (both big name and unknown), there is certainly a large quantity of hot chicks on display here, yet the quality of the action never really gets above a slow boil as much of the sex seems staged and the editing is random. However, several choice sex scenes make up for any imperfections and there's enough heat here to make this worth checking out.
Highlights? Ryan Connors's buxom bod looks splendid bobbing up and down in anal reverse cowgirl, and she gives a nice, sloppy blowjob. Monica Mayhem and Felicia enjoy a terrific, dildo-driven g/g romp and generate some genuine sparks as their teasing foreplay degenerates into nasty hole-filling sex. Alex Sanders' reverse anal piledriver with a blonde on the beach is also a treat.
In addition, we have the pleasure of watching the entire female cast cavort around the beach, in a pool and on a volleyball court in the nude, and that's always a treat.

I recently upgraded the version for wp total cache to the latest version. After i did this my site disappeared, i got the "Internal Server Error 500".
I fixed this by removing the cache info in the htaccess file and deleting the db.php, advanced-cache and object-cache.php from wp-content.
However after reinstalling the plugin i cant seem to get all the features to work: -
Page caching is not available: /home/sites/myweddingreviews.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php is not installed. Either the /home/sites/myweddingreviews.co.uk/public_html/wp-content directory is not write-able or another caching plugin installed. This error message will automatically disappear once the change is successfully made
I downloaded the plugin files again and tired to manually copy the files i removed back into the wp-content folder however my site went missing again with error 500.
Any ideas how to get it fully working?

Mark Belanger
- Position(s):
- Born:
- July 8, 1944
- Bats:
- Right
- Throws:
- Right
- Height:
- 6' 1"
- Weight:
- 170 lbs
- Major League Debut:
- 8-07-1965 with BAL
- Allstar Selections:
When the Orioles traded shortstop Luis Aparicio after the 1967 season, they replaced him with his roommate, Belanger. The slender "Blade" didn't relinquish the position until 1982.
In 1970 he was a Triple Crown loser (finishing last in the TC categories). In his eighteen seasons in the major leagues, Belanger hit only 20 home runs, and had a lifetime batting average of .228, only topping the .230 mark over a full season three times; his .228 average is the third lowest of any major league player with over 5000 career at bats, ahead of only George McBride (.218) and Ed Brinkman (.224), and the seventh lowest of any non-catcher with at least 2500 at bats since 1920. His true contribution to the team was on defense, where he earned a reputation as one of the best fielding shortstops ever. Receiving the AL Gold Glove eight times (1969, 1971, 1973–78), he was also named to the All-Star team in 1976. Belanger joined a select group of shortstop-second baseman combinations who each won Gold Gloves in the same season while playing together: in 1969 and 1971 with Davey Johnson, and again with Bobby Grich each year between 1973 and 1976 inclusive. And with Brooks Robinson winning at third base every year through 1975, the left side of the Orioles' infield was seemingly impenetrable.
Despite his famously poor hitting, Belanger had substantial success against some of the best pitchers of his era, including Bert Blyleven, Nolan Ryan and Tommy John.
He played in 43 postseason games during a decade of strong Baltimore teams and holds several ALCS defensive records for shortstops. Seldom spectacular, Belanger rarely fielded a ball one-handed or sidearmed a throw, but he moved around short with sure-handed ease and grace.
Although an unimpressive hitter, he had the distinction of swatting a home run in the first ALCS game played, versus Minnesota (10/4/69). That year was his best offensively, as he hit .287 with 50 RBI. Granted free agency after 1981, Belanger signed with the Dodgers for his final season. A longtime player representative with Baltimore, he became a special assistant with the Major League Baseball Players' Association after retiring as a player.

Breaking Hearts at Break Heart LbNA # 2579 (ARCHIVED)
|Placed Date
|Jan 1 1999
|Exeter, RI
|Found By
|Last Found
|Jan 1 2009
|Hike Distance
POSTED: Jan-1999
CLUES: This "Box" is located in Arcadia State Forest in Exeter RI. Please note the "mandatory use of florescent orange is required by all users of this State Park from Oct to Feb."
Enter the forest via Frosty Hollow Road, at Camp E-HUN-TEE entrance located on Rt. 165. Follow this dirt road 3/4 mile. On the right there will be a small pond with a parking area.
At the end of the dock take a bearing of 10 degrees to locate the BATON and follow this trail a short distance, take the trail at 70 degrees.
The first junction is marked with a fence at 340 degrees, Shimmy through. Cross the seasonal brook 1, 2, 3 times before reaching the river. At the river head North. Eventually you will see and old stairway at 300 degrees. Keep on the white.
After emerging from your laurels you will see another fence. Notice what lies ahead at 30 degrees and go to it. Take a short break and have a seat on the top, at the far right. Here you should have a line of sight to a bird house (may need binoculars) at 75 degrees and the launch site at 0 degrees. From this vantage point locate the trail head which is at a bearing of 175 degrees. Follow up on this new color. Keep a watch for the trail at 190 degrees down the hill. At the bottom take the trail at 80 degrees.
Following this trail look for the TRIPP stump at the junction of the forest roads. Here you will see the dead tree standing at 20 degrees, head at 330 degrees.
Now heading in a northern direction your new goal is to locate the sign marking the Breakheart Trail on the right, follow this trail at a 90 degree heading. Before your crossing take a note of the fall at 185 degrees.
Yet another long walk lies ahead before you reach the T-intersection at which point you will want the trail which will have you at 300 degrees. After the second crossing head at 280 degrees which leads you to a small clearing at which you will find your last path to follow. At the edge of this clearing locate the tree of three to find the trail at 340 degrees.
After entering into the woods on your last leg of your trek you should notice parallel rock walls running north-south on the west side of the trail. Walking North between them start the search for the Old Man of the woods. Find the spot where the breaks are at 320 degrees and 30 degrees. Look ahead at 345 degrees for your "V"ictory tree. In the wall your victory will be rewarded. Congratulations.

Taxes are piling upApril 06,2013
Taxes are piling up
Vermont was recently rated by MSN as having the fourth worst tax climate in the nation, behind only New York, New Jersey and California.
Rather than take that as the dire warning it should be, our Legislature seems to have taken it as a challenge. With just a little more effort and politics as usual we can become No. 1.
While New York and New Jersey at least appear to be trying to hold the line in their states, the Vermont Legislature is shooting for a win: a new gas tax that will cost even the smallest car at least a dollar for every fill-up; higher property taxes; a clothing tax; a soda tax; higher income taxes; a new sales tax; higher taxes on meals; even a sandwich tax, etc., etc., etc. And all this is before the governors massive taxes on the healthy that will come next year.
God forbid that they should cut a program. Just let the taxpayers take the money out of their kids dinners or failing businesses. Truth be told, its not just us citizens that will feel the effect; you can bet that if any of this goes through, the next Legislature will have a whole new look.
I for one have had enough. No new taxes!

"What to do when looking for relaxation in Quebec" Sainte-Adčle by feline01
Sainte-Adčle Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 4 photos
My husband and I visited this region while celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary. Naturally, we were looking for romantic things to do like long walks, romantic dinner in front of the fireplace in our chalet etc.. but we never expected to be visiting Canadian bagni. I had no idea what one was until we stopped at our first one in Mont-Tremblant. The bagni our not to be missed. It takes a minimum of 2-3 hours to completely unwind but ideally a full day. The concept is that you first are assigned a locker and then change into your bathing suit. After that, you need to get nice and warm either in the sauna, steam room or heated jacuzzi. After you spend some time getting very warm, you get out and either jump into the cold pool or into the river alongside the bagni. You do this repeatedly with breaks to relax on a chaise lounge with a nice cup of tea or water. You can also have a massage (for additional money). The bagni at Mont-Tremblant was very fancy and very nice but we found this one at sainte-Adele by accident during a drive. This was our favorite. It was more relaxed and less expensive than Mont-Tremblant. And my husband loved the sign outside the sauna requesting that no whipping take place between 11am-3pm. Turns out that some visitors from Russia like to sauna and then beat themselves with sticks.
- Pros:Ahhhhhhh, pure relaxation.
- Cons:We should have spent our whole vacation here.
