This book is one of the best teen books I have ever read. Although I am not one to be obsessed with vampires, I actually liked the book. I won't comment about how terrible the movie was, but the book was excellant.

Well then I don't think an 11-year-old's opinion counts but i disagree with Almeida Dessler because her writing style is good but it was made in like what 1973 so we might not know some of the words but who cares?

This is the second book of the Twilight series. While I thought the first was one was ok, I disliked this one immensely. Not only were the characters simple and obvious, but the entire plot was depressing. If I wanted to read a depressing book, I would just go read a unfiction murder mystery, not a vampire romance book with irrational characters. Saying that, the book was better then the movie, and that's just saying how bad the movie was.

Before I was even able to read, I was interested in the weather. I began to keep accurate records of temperature and precipitation by the time I was 8 years old. Growing up in Connecticut, I was fascinated by Nor'easters and how difficult they were to predict. The blizzard of 1978 solidified my interest and obsession at the ripe old age of 11, and the following year in junior high, I began broadcasting the morning weather forecast for my school. To this day, I have deep regrets about not pursuing my true passion.

64-55, 2nd place, 1.5 games behind CWS, tied for WC lead.
Yes, Prince Fielder had 2 HR and 4 RBIs last night, but let's not overlook what Miguel Cabrera dud. He hit a jack in the 1st to put the Tigers up 1-0, and then got on base twice in front of Fielder HRs. And to think, he's only 29. And the more Fielder hits, the better pitches Cabrera will see. Watch out.
For all of the whining that goes on around here about blown calls (much of it by me), we had two wrong ones go in our favor last night. First, there was the Markakis run that wasn't counted. And secondly, the Peralta play. Last night was the first call that I have ever seen reversed at 1B. Seriously, can you remember another one? It looked like the umps took a great play away from Machado and Reynolds. The baserunner didn't turn into anything, so no harm, but Reynolds looked to be on the bag. What I really don't get is how in the world Machado was charged with an error on that play. The Reynolds ejection was baffling as well. What's up with umpiring these days? If you missed it, check out the video replay of the Orioles tv guys calling the incident. Really impressed by their objectivity and knowledge of the rules.
Should we be concerned about Verlander? Not his best game…he couldn't spot his fastball and he walked three guys in the third inning alone. 6 IPs is not like JV. Especially considering his career dominance against the Os.
Nevertheless, your Tigers have now won 3 in a row (5-5 in their last 10), and last night's win kicked off a 14 home games in 17 games stretch. We're 17-3 over our last 20 at home, so this could be the part of the schedule that propels us into first place. One year ago the Tigers were 65-58 and 2 games up on Cleveland. 17 games later they were 78-62 (13-4) and 6.5 games up. A 9-1 streak after that and the division was clinched. If that happens, we may see more of this. Tigers fans really are the best.
Porcello has not been good as of late. Though he's 3-2 in his last 5, he's got a 5.40 ERA and .329 BAA during those starts.
He'll be opposed by Zach Britton. The lefty has was only called up after the All-Star break and has been getting hit pretty hard. In five starts he's allowed 31 hits, 16 BBs and 21 ER in 23 1/3 for an 8.10 ERA. He doesn't strike out many and his BAA this season is .313. But DY will be in full effect and the Tigers have routinely failed to capitalize on mediocre pitching. Could be a wild one out there.
A few notes:
- The Tigers 8.31 K/9 (for the pitchers) is the highest rate in club history.
- The Tigers have 82 XBH over their last 21 home games. They are averaging 6.1 runs per game during that time.
- Prediction: Miguel Cabrera will win the Triple Crown.
Tonight's This is What We Went Out and Got Jeff Baker For Lineup (though I wouldn't mind seeing Berry inserted for DY as a defensive replacement in the 4th):
1. Jackson, CF
2. Infante, 2B
3. Cabrera, 3B
4. Fielder, 1B
5. Peralta, SS
6. Young, DH
7. Avila, C
8. Baker, RF
9. Dirks, LF

Guns are not contemptible, people are — particularly the "do-gooders" who wish to bury their heads in he sand and expect others to do the same. He who wishes to control the people, and ultimately the world, must control the guns. Surprisingly, President Obama comes to mind.
Gun control is, and should be, a states-rights issue, not a federal government issue, except from the standpoint of national interests against a foreign adversary, not internal or domestic.

...thank you
so much
I see that you have the same problems than me to do your homework...
don't you have something to say about ....comics, mr Callahan ?
You used to be more...pertinent, I must confess.
Shit, I'll be your intern.
Luckily, I've been able to find some time when everyone is asleep to work on things for school. It's still difficult to find time though. The first thing I look for when I move is an extra room to have an office.
Do I see a bunch of Lone Wolf & Cub volumes on your shelf there?
- JimmyDee -
I ain't no hot dog, yo.
Whilst my girlfriend and I live in our small flat it's tough, I'm drawing on the kitchen/living room table which I'm sure sometimes gets on my lady's nerves when I'm taking up the space and listening to my music, although likewise she keeps talking when I'm working
When we get a bigger house I've already bagsied the spare room and she's been kind enough to acquiesce, which I'm hoping will have the kind of effect mentioned above. I've never had a dedicated space to draw in, so I'm looking forward as much to arranging the books on my shelf (and toys on the windowsill) as anything else!
Great article Jason and Jason's comic book friends.
In regards to this: "Like the great Coach Tomlin says, style points don't matter. "
I would be to differ. An aesthetically pleasing/customized workspace creates a positive work environment. Your brain already associates "the office" with work, and if you make the office suit your tastes (as you clearly have) then the association with the office can also be "enjoyable space." When picking a space for working (or even living, such as my formerly messy room), I like to ask myself "if I didn't have to be here, how would I feel about being here?" If the answer is "I would want to leave" then I know I need to make some changes.
Having written that, you're definitely right about the "personal space" being the most important factor. When I've found my workspace in my flat occupied by people when it's usually free, the aesthetic benefits of that room are definitely trumped by the loss of personal control over it and the distraction of others. In those situations I gladly retreat to a secondary spot so I can create an environment I have control over, even if it's not as comfortable an environment as my primary workspace.
Once again, great article. I look forward to your columns each week.

5 Responses to "Ideological Bias in Social Psychology?"
March 2, 2011 at 6:05 pm
[...] The rest of The Situationist response to Haidt is here. [...]
March 2, 2011 at 11:24 pm
This response was lacking only a few go-for-the-jugular points I would have liked to see.
First, I would expand on the concession that Haidt himself made by joking that the underrepresentation of conservatives in social psychology could very well be due to their being closed to new ideas that may threaten the status quo. And that post-Galileo, closed-mindedness is not a desirable trait in a scientist.
Second, regarding his dubious claim that academia is dominated by the left, I would respond: economics. Then I'd say: "Economics. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention – where you talking about some sort of left-wing bias in academia?"
Back to seriousness: that is a good point. If academia is dominated by the left, we'd see economics departments that are a hell of a lot different than currently constituted.
Third, Haidt's evidence, such as it is, is composed solely of the disproportionate representation of leftists in social psychology. That, and a couple of anecdotal examples of conservative students who feel discriminated against. (I don't need to tell the readership here that SJT would predict members of advantaged groups to be more sensitive to discrimination than members of disadvantaged groups.) I would move for dismissal of Haidt's case on the grounds of insufficient evidence.
The rest of what he had to say is prima facie plausible. No doubt, conservative students feel as uncomfortable expressing their political views among their disproportionately leftist colleagues as would vegetarians expressing their dietary choices among their co-workers at a meatpacking plant.
But that is irrelevant. And here is where a trademark of the right – braggadocio, for lack of an English word – might come in handy. If social reality is being misrepresented by social psychologists owing to their "liberal" bias, then a forum for these conservative iconoclasts (oxymoron alert!) should be created. If political conservatives have theories that produce robust results in experimentation, they can be invited to publish their work anonymously on The Situationist, or a more fitting forum.
Then again, I was probably irked far more than most by Haidt, and inspired to write this solely on account of his using Larry Summers in his argument – as a martyr. Yeah. One of the guys responsible for Russian life expectancy plunging by over a decade is a martyr – a *martyr*! – because some politically correct academics unfairly castigated him for making a supposition about genetic factors playing a role in determining female representation in… who-the-hell cares, the guy's grasp of his own academic discipline is such that the implementation of his ideas resulted in millions of needless, preventable deaths!

Social psychology people are bigoted, leftists-communists, ignorant, harsh, ugly and fanatically leftist ideologues. Who are you kidding, you princessess of bigotry? There is no such thing in the American university world as either free speech or free thought. You half wit bigots must be wiped off the face of the earth just as serial killers are handled, execution or life imprisonment.

Lowered Expectations: Coming to Grips With the 2012 Phillies
Jun 18, 2012, 4:46 AM EDT
We are at the point in the 2012 baseball season where if nothing else it's fair to characterize the Phillies' chances of winning the World Series as improbable. Technically it could happen, and this site isn't the type to promote the abandonment of hope. We simply state for the record that the club is in the hole, and the reasons to believe they can still crawl out of it are dwindling as summer begins.
Chase Utley returning should provide a shot in the arm, as should Roy Halladay — Ryan Howard on the other hand is a little less certain. Any notion he become The Big Piece the moment he step into the batter's box seems misplaced. His presence couldn't hurt either, but you are still relying on the rest of the roster to stay healthy at least, in many cases increase production as well.
I suspect none of the above registers as earth shattering to most observers. It's merely an attempt at establishing the common ground for what we all are watching unfold.
The reactions to which have been extraordinarily diverse.
There are no shortage of people willing to declare the Phils' season over, and plenty of them are quick to play the blame game. Ruben Amaro lives squarely in the crosshairs of the public these days, as general managers often do when the teams they run disappoint. Others might accuse critics of revisionist history, but fact is everybody's job comes up for review.
Defensive fans detect the overtone in that message though, and would contend in spite of having a poor season, times have never been better for the Fightins overall. After decades filled primarily with frustration, it's difficult to interpret the whining as anything beyond being a part of a bandwagon mentality. Apparently we should be thankful we've experienced good teams at all.
So who is in the right: is it the smug cynics climbing the sinking Titanic like rats, or the self-proclaimed flag bearers of the Phillies franchise?
In all honesty, what would you even have the organization do about this mess right now?
The season started on April 5, and this is the team the Phillies brought to the dance. Players can come back from injuries, but more could hit the disabled list just as fast. There are only two more directions for them to go that are guaranteed to impact the locker room this year.
Number one would be fire Charlie Manuel. It's not an original idea, and while Cholly is an oddball, all things considered it is hard to blame him for the position the squad is in given the circumstances. Manuel's neck will be on the line sooner or later, but since he's only the most successful manager in Phillies history, he's earned a longer leash than most.
Number two, I guess, is make trades, and there are a couple of problems with this. For one, it's hard to pull off big moves this time of year because a lot of front offices aren't sure whether they are buyers or sellers yet — more than ever with the addition of a second wild card. Regardless, it ain't easy to measure what that accomplishes, unless it's only in the vain hopes of catapulting the Phils into contention this season.
In which case, you're not searching for a trade. What you want is a magic cure-all.
I'm not sure where the Phillies go from here, but it looks like a bumpy road to the postseason, and the path fades on the way to the World Series. My suggestion is you adjust your compasses accordingly. These Phillies may have a few tricks left up their sleeve, but nothing short of a complete reversal of fortune is going to push them over the top.
But you know what? After five consecutive NL East Championships, a parade, and a measured push for more, they deserve a slight reprieve. And as bad as things are or look, the team still has several elements working in their favor: they have talent, and they are willing to acquire more.
My advice is to everybody is take a deep breath, and accept this season is likely going nowhere. If they turn it around — and rest assured they can — that's amazing.

With expectations high, Griffin working to become complete player
Story Highlights
Blake Griffin is under more scrutiny now after a flashy and successful rookie year
The Clippers need him to improve his defense and his plummeting foul shooting
His coaches and opposing players have already noticed improvements in his game
|Smith Speaks On Infamous Foul
LOS ANGELES -- Blake Griffin's curious answer said plenty about his defensive mindset, if only because the question -- "So how do you see the second season so far?" -- was so generic and non-threatening.
It was a harmless opener to a recent chat with the Clippers' power forward, a chance to check in on the status of his hoops evolution. Still, with flattering evidence of Griffin's game in his favor and all signs pointing to continued elevation in his high-flying career, it was evident that the reigning Rookie of the Year is assuming the worst when it comes to his critics.
"From the outside looking in, a spectator -- or somebody who doesn't come to the games or doesn't really watch them -- might think that I'd be down on this year, but I'm not at all," he said. "Our team, from last year to this year, is so much different. Obviously by our record, we've won [36 games now], and we won 32 in an 82-game season last year, so I've found out that it's easier to score and it's easier to do that stuff on a team that's not as good and when you're not playing in games like these.
"Last year, a lot of games were out of hand and it's different. As far as being efficient, as far as the number of shots taken, and having the ball in my hands, it's all changed. So I don't look at this year and say, 'Man, I haven't done this or haven't done that.' I'll let other people do all that."
No one was accusing him of poor play, but he kept going nonetheless.
"I hear it," he continued. "My friends, they know I like articles and stuff like that for motivation for myself. So I might see every single one that comes out. For me, it's motivation."
In case it wasn't clear, in other words, Griffin isn't feeling like the golden boy these days.
When Griffin discusses Year No. 2 and how it differs from his sensational rookie season, he feels the need to state the obvious: He's thrilled with the Clippers' new-look roster and wants to win, which would seem to mean he's happier now than he was then -- even if it doesn't always appear that way.
Losses aside (50 last season), Griffin's first season was a love fest that anyone with a pulse and a healthy ego would have enjoyed. He was deemed the savior of a woeful franchise and newest darling of the NBA, earning a nightly spot on SportsCenter, a place on the All-Star team and a shiny Slam Dunk Contest trophy to boot.
But the Clippers know what's at stake this time around, how crucial it is that they make a strong statement in the playoffs and set the tone for a 2012-13 campaign that will determine whether Chris Paul -- who is under contract only through next season -- stays and where the franchises goes. All it takes to get a sense of the new landscape is a peek at the Hotel Figueroa near Staples Center, where Paul's towering image is front and center, while Griffin and DeAndre Jordan are at his sides.
"It's a different climate, clearly," said Clippers assistant coach Marc Iavaroni, a former Grizzlies head coach who works with Griffin more than anyone. "The first year is always magical. It was magical for me and I wasn't a phenom.
"But now, suddenly, he's under more scrutiny, higher expectations. He's got a new cast. The next thing for him is to say, 'All right, I want to be productive -- i.e., numbers -- but I've also got to help us win more. So where do I put the bar, where does [coach] Vinny [Del Negro] put the bar, where does Chris put the bar? And the bar has been elevated. It's not just a matter of making the playoffs. It's a question of having momentum going in, and keep searching, keep trying to get home court. I think Blake understands that."
Never mind that the Clippers made the playoffs only four times in the previous 29 years under owner Donald Sterling, with no team finishing higher than sixth in the Western Conference. Or that Griffin is on pace to become just the 16th player in league history to average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in his first two seasons and is one of only three players doing it this season (with Orlando's Dwight Howard and Minnesota's Kevin Love). No time for back-patting or celebrating now, especially with all the work Griffin has to do on his game.
"It's not jarring," Griffin said when asked about his second season. "You really just have to get used to it, to adjust to everybody's games because the level of talent, the level of play on the court, is so much different this year than last year. ... It just takes time to adjust."
Of all the changes the Clippers want Griffin to make to his game, defense has become the top priority. He's no longer being asked to preserve his fouls as a way to stay in the game like he was at Oklahoma and during his rookie season, but rather to defend aggressively and intelligently while improving his positioning and awareness. It's a must if the Clippers, who rank 17th in points allowed per possession and 13th in opponents' field-goal percentage, are going to do any damage in the playoffs.
"I think he gets caught up in trying to block shots and being physical," a scout said of Griffin. "The guy moves his feet so well, and sometimes being long is all you need to do. He just relies so much on his athletic ability, and going forward, he has to figure out the rest of the game. Slow it down a little bit, understand the fundamentals. It's a process that takes a little maturing for him.
"He has that ability. Most great offensive players are guys who don't put as much effort in defensively, especially early in their careers. So I think he'll get to that point [of getting better]."
Improving Griffin's post game is a priority as well, but the condensed season has left little time to add to his repertoire. He works mainly with Iavaroni and player development coach Dave Severns, but the Clippers are wary of overdoing it.
"We have a foundation of offseason work to draw upon," Iavaroni said. "We can tweak a few moves, and I can show him a couple of things that are really fun to expose him to ... but if you toss it on top of the schedule and the demands, doing too many things is counterproductive.
"It's a balance of video, a little bit at shootaround, a little bit before a game -- but not too much. Games are routine, about feeling good about what you have, not 'Hey, let me show you what you don't have.' "

A new line of frozen dinners specifically designed for people with diabetes is now available.
Stella Maria's is a line of seven different dinners, each with under 380 calories. Each dinner has 2 ounces of protein, 3 ounces of starch, 3 ounces of fruit and 3 ounces of vegetables, so people eating the meals can easily balance their diet.
Liz Pettineo, a registered dietitian and diabetes educator, came up with the idea for the dinners after seeing too many people with diabetes who were either unable or unwilling to eat balanced meals.
"After eight years of consulting, I realized there needed to be a more convien-ient way for people to eat right," Pettineo said.
Stella Maria's is operated out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida by Pettineo and her mother, Stella Maria. The dinners can be shipped frozen via UPS to anywhere in the U.S. in 24 hours. The meals have a 21-day refrigerated shelf life and can be purchased in blocks of 18. The price for 18 is $101 with shipping, which breaks down to $3.97 per meal plus $29 for shipping.
Stella Maria's is currently working on a lunch and snack line of products, and hopes to close a deal with a major distributor, making the dinners available in stores across the country.
For more information, call Stella Maria's at (800) 600-2373, or fax the company at (954) 493-8968.

When Jean O'Donnell petitioned members of the Professional Convention Management Association to add her name to the slate for the chairman-elect position last September, it wasn't the first time she had challenged the status quo at PCMA. She had made a similar bid about three years ago for her seat as secretary/treasurer of PCMA's board of directors when she initiated a drive to win that position.
But this time was different--and it was bigger. This time, O'Donnell, director of convention and meeting services for the 110,000-member American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine in Philadelphia, had the solid backing of the membership for her election to the chairmanship for 2000--the first time such a process was used for PCMA's top post.
Traditionally, a nominating committee selects a slate of officers, but as O'Donnell points out, the association's bylaws have always provided for another method. It was the perception of what she calls the "clubbiness" of the board of directors that propelled her to break with custom.
"I never saw petitioning to be added to the slate as an issue," O'Donnell remarks. "It was my right to do it and my right to serve . . . I knew it would be risky." The reaction to her initial announcement was that "many people in high places dared to question my need to challenge the status quo--which is a small group of people electing a small group of people," she says.
A Good Organization O'Donnell may have challenged the status quo at PCMA, but she says she owes much of her success to the 3,000-member organization.
"PCMA has been so wonderful in educating me," she says. Making an indirect reference to the inaccessibility of the board, she continues, "I didn't want members to think they were limited [or] to hit their head on the ceiling there."
O'Donnell's election to the chairman-elect post came at a time whenPCMA was embroiled in a sexual harassment suit filed by two former employees. COO William J. Myers, CAE, CMP, was terminated from his post late last year after being named a defendant in the suit. The suit has since been settled out of court.
But O'Donnell is emphatic when she says her bid for the chairmanship had nothing to do with the lawsuit or the upheaval. In fact, she began her petition process months before the lawsuit emerged.
A Mission of Unity A new millennium will be the backdrop when O'Donnell officially begins her duties after the PCMA annual meeting next month. And her personal goals as chairman for the new era are holistic-- "unity" will be her calling card. One way she hopes to accomplish her vision is to solidify the committee process and strengthen relationships between the committees and board of directors, which she admits, has not been ideal.
"There was a feeling at one time that the board of directors was on one level, and the committees and chapters were not considered [as much] as they should have been," O'Donnell says.
But in the end, it is something close to home that pushes O'Donnell to keep PCMA and the industry moving forward--her oldest daughter recently joined the profession, working registration for an association management company.
"I owed it to my daughter to keep things moving forward," O'Donnell says. "In today's world, the industry really no longer can go along with the status quo. It has to rise above and look at the big picture."

Competitive Enterprise Institute | 1899 L ST NW Floor 12, Washington, DC 20036 | Phone: 202-331-1010 | Fax: 202-331-0640
USA TODAY is right: Activists who blame Katrina on global warming may gain short-term publicity, but risk losing long-term credibility.
The increasing frequency of hurricane activity in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico since 1995 is due to a natural, multidecadal shift in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC), the oceanic "conveyor belt" that pulls warm water from the tropics northward to the British Isles.
When the THC shifts into its strong phase, as it did in the mid-1990s, the North Atlantic warms and generates more hurricanes. Mankind's use of fossil fuels has nothing to do with this process.
More important, global warming was not responsible for Katrina's destructive fury. Any tropical storm traversing waters of 82 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer has the potential to become a category 4 or 5 hurricane. Gulf waters routinely exceed that temperature in August, and did so long before mankind began using fossil fuels.
Consequently, regulatory policies such as the Kyoto Protocol offer no protection from future Katrinas. Indeed, by making energy scarcer and more costly, such policies would only aggravate the economic losses and hardship from energy-infrastructure damage inflicted by Katrina, Rita and other major storms.

Asking for some advice please, I am confused about under what conditions an iPhone can and can not be unlocked or jailbrocken.
I have this iPhone4 that was recently activated with Rogers by someone else and it is currently at version 4.3.2 (8H7), the model is MC605C and modem firmware is 04.10.01
I have bought it and followed the steps on iClarified "How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 4 Using PwnageTool (Mac) [4.3.2]" and after automatically creating the custom f/w and restore it via iTunes, the phone is working but with the sim card inserted, it is not recognized, it shows no provider, no tel number, nothing.
If I restore it to factory, it works fine. I have tried twice to build custom f/w and no go with any of the versions.
Can someone give me a hint or advice please on how to make this phone work with my own f/w so I would be able to use Cydia and other stuff?

Police received a call at 3:49 a.m. Friday morning stating Willis Douglas Woodward, 49, was threatening his ex-wife and son at a residence on the 500 block of U.S. 78. The residence belonged to the suspect's ex-wife, police said.
Police Chief Bill Partridge said Woodward tried to cut his ex-wife with a knife. According to a press release later sent by police, no one was injured. When police arrived, Woodward had left his ex-wife's home and barricaded himself in his mother's trailer on Harkins Drive, also on U.S. 78.
"He barricaded himself inside the house and he didn't want to come out," Oxford Lt. L.G. Owens said. "Obviously if you get involved in a domestic situation, you're not going to be able to abuse your family members and just go inside and shut the door. We're going to do what we have to do."
Partridge said Woodward's mother was still in the home with him when police arrived. The mother was able to leave the residence and police evacuated several of the trailers surrounding the home where Woodward had barricaded himself.
"He said 'Y'all just need to take it to the next level, somebody's going to die today,'" Partridge said.
Oxford's Emergency Services Unit, Alabama State Troopers, a mobile operations unit and several Oxford police vehicles were at the scene.
After five-and-a-half hours of negotiations and deploying gas into the residence, Partridge said the suspect was peacefully brought into custody.
Partridge said the suspect had a toy gun wrapped in black tape. Before he was in custody, police did not know the gun was a toy and treated it as a real weapon.
Woodward is charged with two counts of domestic violence, according to the press release. As of Friday evening he was being held in the Oxford City Jail. Woodward's bond is set at $2,000 and a court date is scheduled for Feb. 5, the account said.
A neighbor, George Black, said he's lived in the trailer park for almost two years and when he saw police he thought they were raiding a meth lab. Black, whose trailer was far enough away from the situation that it didn't require evacuation, said Harkins Drive is usually a quiet place to live.
Black said he didn't know the people who lived in the trailer in question.
"People just surprise me sometimes," Black said while shaking his head.

I have been working at Google as an intern for less than a year
Pros – Work is very challenging, culture is fantastic. There is always something going on and it's easy to get yourself involved in anything, even if it's outside your area of expertise.
Cons – Be prepared to spend huge amounts of time teaching yourself most of what you need to know.
If you can get to know people early, this isn't so bad.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Budget hotel offers standard amenities and low rates to road-weary travelers. – In Short
Since 1946, this Phoenix, Ariz.-based hotel chain has provided guests with comfortable accommodations. Its BestRequests program offers 16 of the most frequently requested services and amenities, including complimentary in-room tea/coffeemakers, hair dryers, iron and ironing boards, free local calls less than 30 minutes and long-distance access. Complimentary toiletries, like toothpaste, razors and sewing kits, are also available upon request. Business travelers will enjoy the computer data ports in each room and photocopying services.
Still a Best Western – While the hotel was perfectly fine and has some ambitions to be trendy and hip, ultimately it still is a Best Western, no matter if they call it "Hotel Tria." Although officially in Cambridge, it is VERY far away from the heart of Cambridge and is stuck next to a strip mall and a highway. I was picturing more of a boutique hotel, but it was a pretty standard chain hotel. Nothing wrong with it, but wanted people to visualize it correctly. Only big compalint, they charged $12 for parking even though there is a huge parking lot they could let you use for free.
Best Western Hotel Tria is great – What a great hotel. A little off the beaten path, but many more pros than cons.
They have a free shuttle that takes you to the subway stop or just a 10-minute walk if you want the exercise. From there it's only 20-25 minutes to downtown Boston. The hotel is very clean and the staff very friendly. Love the decor...and the cool soaps you can choose from. Continental breakfast was quite generous, including waffles which you make yourself. LOVED the Starbucks connected to the hotel! The kids loved the pool (very clean and well-maintained)
Affordable Boutique Hotel in Cambridge – This neat little hotel has all the amenities of a larger hotel with a few neat surpirses - cool choice of soap - nice free breakfast - a 99 restuarant - a pool and jacuzzi - the rooms are beautifully decorated - and the staff are all pleasant and helpful!
What a Surprise – I stumbled upon this Best Western Hotel not knowing that I would uncover Cambridge's best kept secret! The Homestead Inn is great! Their new rooms are really stylish and comfortable. They serve a great continental breakfast with Belgian waffles! I's a great location, I enjoyed a run around Fresh Pond every morning.
They are reasonably priced and parking is included. Plus they have an indoor pool and jacuzzi. I highly recommend this hotel!
