Araguz, 35, has a strong track record, but struggled so much early last
season after beating out promising rookie Chris Kluwe in training camp that he
was released after four games and replaced by veteran Tom Rouen. It's likely
that Araguz, who will make a $585,000 base salary, will face competition at
training camp from a rookie, and Baltimore worked out two college punters last
week at its training complex.
Araguz averaged 46 yards in the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but averaged only 33 yards per punt against the Washington Redskins. He averaged 40.2 yards last season on 18 punts with a long of 53 yards.
The Ravens auditioned Philadelphia Eagles restricted free agent Dirk Johnson last week along with free agent Toby Gowin before deciding to sign Araguz.
The Ravens pursued Carolina Panthers standout Jason Baker, who re-signed with Carolina for a two-year, $1.8 million contract that includes a $400,000 signing bonus.
Araguz entered the league in 1996 with the Oakland Raiders after playing collegiately at Stephen F. Austin State University (Texas). He has a 42.6 career average, placing 97 inside the 20 with a career-high boot of 64 yards.
Araguz's other NFL stints are with the Raiders (1996 to 1999), Detroit Lions (2001) and Minnesota Vikings (2003. In 1997 with the Raiders, he averaged a career-high 45 yards with 28 punts downed inside the 20 with just six touchbacks.
Araguz, who signed a one-year contract, fills the void on the roster created by Zastudil signing a five-year, $8 million contract with the Cleveland Browns.
"Leo has been a very solid punter in the league for a number of years, and I like the experience he can bring to this team," Ravens special teams coordinator Frank Gansz Jr. said. "In addition to that, he is a steady and consistent holder."
Araguz is versatile and has even punted and kicked off. Somewhat undersized at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, Araguz has experienced long absences from the NFL where he has waited at his Texas home for a telephone call.
"I am the utility guy," Araguz told Seattle reporters last summer. "I don't fit the profile of the normal punter in the NFL. I'm not the average 6-2, 6-3, 215-pounder. I kind of fly under the radar screen. The years I've sat out, those are the years I've pretty much been humbled.
"You get to really experience the NFL from the outside, the cuts, the releases and the different politics that go into it and not being able to get a serious look even though your stats pretty much speak for themselves. It's just a matter of being patient, being persistent and working hard."
NOTES: North Carolina State defensive tackle John McCargo will visit the Ravens' facility on Monday, according to his agent. McCargo visited the St. Louis Rams on Wednesday and has visits scheduled with the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs. "The Ravens really love John McCargo, especially Rex Ryan," said McCargo's agent, Hadley Engelhard. "His stock is skyrocketing." ... The Ravens will also host top-flight Oregon defensive tackle Haloti Ngata on Monday after meeting with USC offensive guard Fred Matua on Easter Sunday. … The Ravens recently hosted Florida State cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who has recovered from a major knee injury. … Baltimore plans to meet with Penn State cornerback Alan Zemaitis and Tennessee defensive back Jason Allen. … Baltimore met with Hofstra wideout Marques Colston (6-foot-5, 225 pounds, 4.48 speed) at the scouting combine. He has visited the New York Jets. ... The Ravens are scheduled to report July 30 for their annual training camp at McDaniel College.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 597 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by couple31 Beautiful place but needs buffing In a nutshell--of course this place is beautiful and a feast for the eyes but it could use some attention to the attitudes of the staff at times. March 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BDJ550 5 star service This hotel had exceptional service from check in to check out. Most of the staff that we met had worked there for over a decade, were knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. We ate at the Azure each morning for breakfast and one dinner. The breakfasts were excellent and the dinner was among our top 5 of all time. We stayed in the newer ocean front tower where the views were breathtaking. The room was very nice but the art work was unusual and didn't match the room decor and the carpeting seemed a bit worn - lower quality than I would have expected from the Luxury Collection. I would agree that this is still, on average, a 5 star hotel overall but only because the service is probably a 6 and the accommodations a 4. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Rated 2 out of 5 by JMBB Dissatisfied Our daughter was our guest on this trip; however, the bill was issued in her name and placed under her door. This should not have happened. Had trouble with our air conditioning the first few days in that it would not shut off when it reached the desired setting -- we had to open the lanai door to make it stop. Tech who visited our room told us that was how it worked. First two nights were most uncomfortable. March 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Coloradojack1 Please, More Attention To Detail I wish SPG would have sent a review/survey for me to complete after our recent stay but apparently no one cares how our stay was. Beautiful public areas-love the history and beauty of this grand hotel. Staff were for the most part helpful and courteous. Room 7000 has a significant mold problem-please check behind the bathroom door. I smelled it the moment I entered-thought it would resolve itself-however it did not. Air conditioning sounds like a jet plane-could not use at night so had to leave lanai door open. Then we were treated to the greasy fried food smell from the restaurants. Desk chair broken, bathroom scale broken. Front desk check in employee asked if we were there celebrating anything-we shared with her that we were there for 20th anniversary. When she asked if we were like a bottle of champagne sent to the room we said yes-never received it. Elevators in tower are dirty and beat up. I love the Royal Hawaiian but I will never stay there again-this luxury collection hotel lacks luxury. March 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TauckTour4 Insufficient nunber of available chairs around pool. Great views of ocean but the room size was disappointing considering the price of the room. Totally inadquate number of available chairs around the pool. The Beach Boys were very helpful but folks were putting towels on chairs by 6:30a.m. to hold them and then not using them for quite a while. Thus, a big disappointment unless you wanted to pay a high price to rent chairs on the beach. As indicated, fantastic view of the ocean but the rooms were definitely not 4 or 5 star quality in terms of size. March 4, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by notafanoo what makes a great hotel? a great hotel should be great this one only qualifies as good hotel in great location. March 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LeybourneInstitute Royal Hawaiian Hotel public spaces and grounds are beautiful. Room was quite average. A little worn out in appearance, and not in a 'quaint and historic' sense. Missing hairdryer, robes, slippers - and a long delay for room and housekeeping service. March 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RachelMC Outstanding Customer Service, Comfort, and Aesthetic The RH was lovely. The employees were so pleasant and accommodating, from the bellman, to the front desk staff, to the housekeepers. The only service problems we experienced were that the waitstaff, both in the restaurant and by the pool, were often obviously overextended and sometimes hard to find. The grounds and decor are beautiful, the shops high-quality, and the location can't be beat if you want to be in the center of the Waikiki action and on the beach. The food overall was very good, and room service very fast. Our beds were at least as comfortable as our bed at home (which we love!). I will add that the flow of the outdoor areas isn't great. The only way to the pool from the lawn is through the restaurant or back into and through the hotel, and the only way to the beach is through the pool area. The gate between the large pool the RH shares with the Sheraton and the hotel grounds was closed occasionally, requiring us to walk back through the restaurant, to the pool, out that gate, and down the beach. Not terrible but a bit of a drag with kids/gear in tow. The only real complaint I can make is that the hotel charges guests to use the beach chaises/umbrellas ($40/day for 2), which seems pretty outrageous to me. I think that should be a free amenity for guests. But overall loved the place and would definitely recommend it! February 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KKCHawaii KKC-Hawaii-Perfect SPG staycation. After a long busy week--this is the SPG hotel of choice on Oahu. It's like home away from home! The staff, the room (loved The Aloha Oe Garden Suite), especially Wendy Nagaishi in the Concierge desk was very helpful with eating recommendations. We loved the ability to go to both pools too. cheers February 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Margaret88 Best staycation yet for picky traveller We had a ball. Gorgeous room. Great staff. Fantastic opportunity to explore Waikiki as guest in world famous, historic hotel. Mai Thais at Mai tai bar were fun with really good local entertainment, kapena I think. Amazing. Loved being able to access Sheraton & shopping center so easily. Valets were great as were staff at Mai tai bar. Stay in main bldg if possible...if these walls could talk. I can only imagine movie stars & such enjoying same experience over the years. Reminded me of Beverly Hills hotel. High ceilings, dreamy beds, gazillion $ views. February 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hinch Relaxtion This Hotel meets all your needs. From the time you step on the property until you depart they make sure you are taken care of. February 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dk10 Hotel does not deserve "Luxury" catagory The two-room garden suite had only one TV,and only one room had air-conditioning. Unbelievably, paper cups were provided for coffee in the room, not a coffee mug. The room service was haphazard - one day forgetting to provide coffee cups, the next day forgetting napkins, the next day providing only Decaf coffee and no regular coffee. Being situated in the middle of everything, the room is quite noisy February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GaugenFinn Amazing Destination Resort Our stay at the Royal Hawaiian far exceeded our expectations. This resort was is so fine tuned that every need is met before we even know we needed it!!! The staff was so attentive, the food amazing, and the cleanliness of the entire hotel, not to mention the room was incredible. Brandon, who brought up our bags shared much Hawaiian tradition with us...Nam, and Sean were great wait staff that catered to all our desires, as well as our 16 month old son. Can't wait until we meet again!! February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hottieshusband ABove average staff My wife and I travelled to Hawaii for our 34th anniversary. The room we originally had had a couple of minor issues, the staff rectified them immediately. Another minor issue came up, lets not forget this building is almost 100 yrs old!! This time we were moved and our room was upgraded without even asking. The service manager,I think his name was Shaun, was most impressive, checking every day to make sure we were content. The hotel is also in the best location on Waikiki beach!! When out and about shopping or dining, when you tell people you are at the RH, you get treated differently, in a good way. February 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by leenick Service could be improved PBX- Instead of transferring calls, operator could take the request and call the appropriate department on behalf of guest. A hotel like this should operate in this manner. Valet/Bellman/Doorman- The front services team is usually the strongest in hotels. They are the weak at this property. They're not very friendly and they are slow to react when a request is mande of them. Spa-EXCELLENT!!!! February 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gold4star Excellent Experience with One Exception Difficult to be negative about anything in my experience staying at the "Pink Palace" except for one thing. in a 4 night, 3 day stay, 2 of those days found the housekeeping's effort in tidying up my room to be a problem. The first of these 2 days, at 4:30pm, I returned to find the room untouched from what it was when I left that morning. Damp towels, bed unmade, no coffee replacement, nothing done. Day 2 of these 2 days, the room was halfway done up but no towels, no bath mat, no fresh water bottles, bed halfway made & no coffee replacement. I had to call housekeeping to get things done February 2, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nkl123 Not near expectations Car service, that was booked through the hotel, never showed. Upon arrival, I was told the suite I had booked had a plumbing problem. The accessible suite (which I was put in until the plumbing problem was resolved) had a chipped mirror in the bathroom, the sliding blinds were off the track, the bed side light did not work, there was one remote for two tvs, etc. The next day, when I was checking to move to the originally booked suite, I was told it was still dirty from the previous guest. Amazingly, it got cleaned quickly and the new room had a window that rattled, ac that went on and off and never regulated, phone that had static on it (never fixed when reported), etc... Never was there any followup by mgt even though I was left with the impression I would be contacted. January 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kawika222 Overrated Nice hotel but nothing special. Nothing free. You even have to rent a beach chair. January 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jwil8966 Beautiful hotel Beautiful hotel, lovely grand proportions, wonderfully located on the beach at Waikiki. Also nice and quiet as it is set back from the street. Two minor bugbears - resort fee was poor value given that internet is free at most hotels trying to compete these days, and the concierge/front desk was understaffed (there was ALWAYS a wait regardless of the time of day I tried to get service - I got around this by getting served over the phone, much quicker!). The valet parking was useful to us, but our traveling companion didn't have a car and still paid. Otherwise, everything else on the list was not particularly desired. The other minor annoyance was the fact that there was only 1 small pool/hot tub onsite and it closed at 6pm - a little sad, fortunately I was busy enough shopping, eating and sight seeing to not want to spend a lot of time poolside! January 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SirRandy Amazing Weekend I absolutely LOVE this property! Don't let it's classic exterior fool you! The rooms have been updated with a modern feel! Highly recommended. Love the welcome "banana bread". Thank you for an amazing stay!!! January 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kling BEST HOTEL EVER!!!!! I have been to some of the best hotels in the world but this one was the best!!!! Hotel is beautiful (love the pink). Staff is amazing especially Wendy at the concierge. She made me feel like the most important person in the hotel (and we had some famous people staying at the same time). I recommend the hotel to anyone who wants a incredible vacation!!!! January 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by helen10 10 in a row We have just returned for our 10th year in a row at the Royal hawaiian,we meet our 3 daughters there for a family catch up every January.Ten years in a row best describes how we feel about the Hotel,everything about the place is excellent.Having said that what makes the experience extra special is the staff.Breakfast has become such a special occasion for us and this would be no where near as special if was not for servers like Richard who has become more of a friend than server.Cannot praise the establishment high enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LRiley Excellent Staff and Experience at The Royal Hawaiian My mother, son, and I returned to The Royal Hawaiian in January after several past visits, and thought that this last visit had been our best experience due to the professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail provided by your excellent staff. Two gentlemen were particularly instrumental in making our vacation such a wonderful experience. Mr. Evan Yamashita, the guest service manager, was very courteous, patient, professional, and made our last experience the most memorable. Our bellman, Mr. Brandon Chung, was also a delightful person, who was very kind and helpful throughout our vacation. As a former employee in a customer service industry, I recognize the importance of an excellent staff, and these two gentlemen are a great asset to your organization.. The dining, Mai Tai bar, shops, and the hotel location are excellent. The RH is the perfect hotel to enjoy your vacation experience in Waikiki. January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Floweroz Comfortable Hotel with friendly staff Staying in a tower room with the wonderful balcony was heaven. If I wanted to enjoy the sun and surf without the people, I could just sit out there and enjoy my own private paradise. The Azure restaurant was delicious. The spa therapists were some of the best I've ever had. The hotel was an oasis in the middle of a very busy shopping and beach front area. January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by chitownERmd Amazing Birthday I would like to thank the Royal Hawaiian for making my 32nd Birthday very special. In addition to it being my birthday, I was also celebrating passing my emergency medicine board exams. I want to pay special thanks to Melani who works at the front desk. She took great time and effort to find me the perfect room with an amazing view. She also added special touches during my stay to make it unforgettable. I would recommend this hotel to any of my colleagues. I have several conferences in Oahu and will always stay here from now on. Thanks again Melani! January 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Juland Pleasant stay, great location Had a very pleasant experience. Location on the beach is excellent. Wish there were more staff at the Concierge and Check In desks. We always had to wait in line with 4 or more people ahead of us each time we needed to talk to someone. Staff was helpful and courteous though, January 8, 2014

Lipitor or Simvastatin: Comparing Cost and Effectiveness
Q: I switched from lipitor to simvastatin because my insurance wouldnt not pay for it anymore. What do you think of this drug? Does it have the same side effects as lipitor? I would like to stay on lipitor but their is no generic. The cost of lipitor is extremely high and I just cant afford it. Thank you
A: Lipitor, known as atorvastatin, is from a family of drugs known as the statins. Simvastatin also belongs to this family. Studies suggest that atorvastatin is slightly superior in action, without increasing the side-effect profile. However no difference in cardiovascular outcomes has been proven, when the two drugs were compared. Both of these drugs have a similar mode of action, and therefore potentially similar side-effects. If you cannot afford Lipitor, Simvastatin is an affordable suitable alternative as a cholesterol-lowering agent.

An alcoholic beverage (usually beer or perhaps malt liquor) consumed inside a moving vehicle. This beverage can be consumed by passenger, driver, or both. Road sodas are illegal in most states due to open container laws. Still, they are widely enjoyed as evidenced by all the beer cans littering rural raodsides.
Let's grab a six pack before we leave, there's nowhere to stop on the way and it's a boring trip without any road sodas.

A Parade of New Year's Parade Photos
"Who's Ron Jackson?" asks the boy. "That's Jason Castro," I tell him. "Who?" "Exactly."
All photos by Harry Wilonsky
It's no longer the Cotton Bowl Parade that snakes through downtown Dallas on New Year's Day. Wouldn't make sense -- the Cotton Bowl's now in Arlington, in case you missed that breaking news. And so it was the rebranded Comerica Bank New Year's Day Parade that had downtown tied up during the mid-afternoon hours yesterday. The 6-year-old who lives in my house wanted to go -- nothing else to do, he said, making a strong case on a slow day.
So I put him to work: He took all the photos featured after the jump. He also offers the following review: "I liked the parade, because it was very interesting and very fun." To each his own, I tell him, suggesting it was a bit more rinky-dink than I'd expected -- looked more like our neighborhood July 4th parade than a big-city bowl-game kick-off. "I loved the parade," he counters. I tell him that's good, since parades are for kids. "Parades are for everyone," he says. "Doesn't matter how tall or how small." Point taken. Now jump.
Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez, perhaps the most famous person in the New Year's Day Parade, according to my son
Me: "Hey, Harry, who's cuter: Miss Texas or Miss Oklahoma?" Harry: "They kinda look the same."
The Crow Collection of Asian Art float, which was at least identifiable. Unlike, say, the following ...
... or the next one ...
One had to admire the retro outfits brought by the Washington Township, New Jersey, contigent.
Found this one while sorting through the 2,293 photos the boy returned with. As I explained to Harry, Bald Knob is "where the Ozarks meet the Delta." No reason to laugh.
"I like border collies," said the boy, explaining the 583 photos he took of the dogs marching in the paradde.
And, finally, the float that paid tribute to "Mr. Cotton Bowl."

Amusing Internet fact: once upon a time, many members of the Online Left was actually despondent that the Constitution forbid Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm from running for President (she isn't a born citizen*). This would be before the breakdown of... well, show me a part of Michigan that hasn't broken down by now. Latest example comes from the city of Flint (via theblogprof):
Shootings have become so widespread in the city that two former state representatives are talking about calling in the National Guard to help calm violence on Flint's streets.Former state representative Vera Rison said Tuesday that help is needed immediately, and during a meeting of the Genesee County Board of Commissioners today, Brenda Clack quizzed Sheriff Robert Pickell about the potential for getting help from guardsmen as well.
I'm as small-government as the next person, but I sometimes wonder whether it'd be cost-effective to have a permanent fund much like the EPA's Superfund - only this one would be dedicated to cleaning up areas where the Democratic party has thoroughly mucked up proper governance through too long a period of one-party rule. Yeah, I know: it'd have to be a really, really big fund. It might be still worth it; there's something disturbing about having situations where people legitimately think that the only way to restore order is to bring in the military. This is America: stuff like that is supposed to only happen in other countries.

A warm front will begin to lift through the region tonight.This warm front will bring a few clouds and a stray shower or two, but most of us will stay dry tonight with lows in the upper 50s.The warm front will continue to lift north tomorrow towards the New York state line.This will drag warmer and more humid air back into the region.Humidity levels will rise during the day and temperatures will jump into the mid 80s under partly sunny skies. A stray shower or storm can't be ruled out in the afternoon with the heat and humidity being the main driver for those. It will feel quite muggy during the afternoon and evening.By Tuesday, a cold front will begin to slowly approach the Commonwealth. The approaching front will bring an increased chance for showers or storms, but for now I'm keeping rain chances less than 50%. Otherwise, it will be muggy and warm under partly cloudy skies.By Wednesday, that front will inch closer which will increase our chance for showers and storms. In fact, that front will take until Thursday or Friday to pass us, which means several days from Wednesday until next weekend with chances for showers and storms. A big cool down is also expected by the end of this coming week! 3 3 3

From Anonymous of Ketchikan, Alaska on 1/6/2016.
I'm really excited about this toy. At 21 months, my son is still a little young for it, but he enjoys inspecting and manipulating the box to discover how it works. We're at board "3" now and working our way up :) This is a quality, beautifully made item. My order was initially lost by the USPS and TAG Toys promptly notified me and shipped out a new order. Wonderful customer service.
Great learning tool, fun for kids
From Elizabeth Myers of FPO, Armed Forces Pacific on 11/6/2015.
My 10 month old and 4 year old are both enjoying this learning toy. It is well made and much larger than I had imagined. I am very pleased.
Beautiful product!
From Hilary Haaf of Fort McMurray, Alberta on 8/28/2015.
We just received our toy (thank you for the very fast shipment) and are very pleased. This product is beautifully built with very solid construction. I have had my eye on this piece for some time. My son has recently started counting at 22 months so I knew it was time. He is really enjoying this item. More than just for counting but for learning proper orientation (of number plate and peg) and order of operation (knob in, peg in, knob ouy).
Love the toy!
From Anonymous of Edinburg, Texas on 8/1/2015.
We absolutely love this toy! My 11month old loves the reward system (pegs falling down) and my 4year old is using it to review number sense! The only reason I put 4 stars is because when we received our order there were only 9 pegs not 10! I called customer service and they said they would mail it out. We're hoping to receive it soon.
Excellent product
From Nancy Oneil of Kelowna, British Columbia on 7/15/2014.
Excellent numbers counting item I would highly recommend it

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Ramsay Hotel Blackpool
In a whole street of hotels this looked clean and well presented with easy parking. It was just as clean and well presented inside with the added benefit of being a non-smoking hotel. The owners were very kind and helpful and were happy for us to look at the rooms before booking and offered a very reasonable price for the night. The bed was one of the most comfortable I'd slept on in in over a month of travelling. The cost included a full English Breakfast in the dining room - good meal. The area was quiet at night and the glazed windows blocked out any street noise. If you have to stay in Blackpool (which i didn't like) then Ramsay's is the place to go. Go and find somewhere to eat at Lytham Saint- Anne's.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Ramsay Hotel Blackpool
Professional yet friendly
I have just returned from a four night stay at The Ramsay Hotel, Blackpool.
The North Shore location is tranquil in comparison to the hustle and bustle of "The Golden Mile". However, trams and buses make access to central Blackpool very easy.
Julie & Vicki run The Ramsay in an efficient, professional manner. The quality of food accommodation and cleanliness is exemplary. At the same time Julie & Vicki treat each guest as an individual: Their friendly hospitality began when I made my booking, and continued throughout my stay. I was greeted by my first name as I entered the hotel for the first time, and they both wished me a safe journey home when I left.
All in all a great place to stay in Blackpool, and wonderful value for money too!!
Very friendly
Just returned from a three day visit to The Ramsay Hotel. Hotel was very clean and comfortable, our room on the first floor was very spacious and well appointed. Food was very good and served in a very nice dining room. The owners Julie and Vikki were very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble to them. We would certainly recommend this hotel and hope to visit again.
Fantastic Stay
I stayed with my husband and my 4 year old daughter. Nothing was too much trouble and the hotel was so warm and friendly. Rooms immaculate and everywhere so clean. We all enjoyed the lovely home cooked food. The Hotel was in a perfect location near the tram stop and over the road from the beach.
We will definately be back in the summer and will not stay anywhere else. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a home from home place to stay.
First Class Hotel
Myself & my children stayed here for our Easter break. The breakfast was great, the rooms very clean & comfortable. Staff very friendly & went our of their way to make our stay enjoyable.
Would definately return and will be recommending to my friends & family.
A unknown gem
We stopped at the hotel after reading the reviews, we had a warm welcome, the hotel is very clean and the rooms are of a very high standard and very clean.
We stopped on a B & B basis and that was excellent to.
The location was great the open top bus stopped outside the hotel also the tram is oppisite, but we walked to the tower took about 15 mins.
The hotel is family run and so friendly and could'nt do enough for us.
I had to drag my husband to Blackpool because the last time we came we didn't stop in a very nice hotel, but the Ramsay has put Blackpool breaks back into our agenda.
Will be back for the lights!!!
Fab hotel, what a refreshing change
We have just returned from a long weekend at the Ramsay Hotel in Blackpool. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The cooked breakfast and evening meal was delicious. Everywhere was immaculately clean and tidy. Very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend the sea view bay fronted bedroom.
Will definitely be going back for the illuminations.
Great hotel
sept 12th 2005
I was really worried about finding the right hotel for my husband and myself for a short break but so glad i found the Ramsay. It was very comfortable, very clean and tastefully decorated. The food was good too. the staff are friendly and we will be back again at xmas. Thanks Elaine X Eric for a very pleasant stay.
Previous reviews were right!
We could not believe a hotel in Blackpool could be this nice. We chose this hotel based on the previous good reviews (as Blackpool hotels arent renowned for quality) and I am glad that we did. The hotel is well decorated & furnished and spotlessly clean which is helped by the fact it is a non smoking establishment. Although my husband smokes, he even admitted it was nicer staying where no smoking is allowed and didnt mind having to bob out for his 'fix'. The bar is well stocked and comfortable and the games room is an added bonus if the weather isnt too great. We were only B & B basis but based on this we can say that the food was excellent and would have no doubts about booking half board next time. Also, forget any stories that you may have heard about grisly Blackpool hotel proprieters - the owners are friendly, welcoming and genuinely want you to enjoy your holiday.
We found the situation of the hotel perfect. Its just enough away from the tower to be out of the noisy area and there is a nice Casino just a 5 minute walk away. Dont be put off if you like to base your days around the Pleasure Beach as there is a tram stop virtually outside. In our opinion its worth the tram journey to be staying right on the front in a nice part of Blackpool.
Blackpool isnt everybody's idea of a holiday destination however if you do want to go, you wont go wrong staying here.
Fantastic Hotel
Stayed at the hotel for our Golden wedding Anniversary. Fantastic hotel, good food, beautiful rooms and the owners are really friendly. Great location for all attractions.
Have already booked again for later on in the year. Would definately reccommend the Ramsay Hotel to anyone.
Fantastic location, tram opposite, really peaceful. Owners are real nice. Rooms are luxurious.

Pak violates ceasefire again, BSF jawan injured
By PTI - JAMMU
Published: 17th September 2013 01:14 PM
Last Updated: 17th September 2013 01:14 PM
A BSF jawan was injured as Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire again, resorting to unprovoked and heavy firing and rocket attacks on three Indian forward posts along the LoC in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, prompting Indian troops to retaliate effectively.
Constable Mohmmad Abu Siddiqi was injured when Pakistan troops opened firing from Heavy Machine Guns (HMGs) and Rocket Projectile Grenades (RPGs) on Indian forward posts along LoC in Mendhar sub-sector of Poonch district 2330 hours, BSF officials said.
They targeted three Indian forward posts, they said.
BSF troops guarding the forward belt retaliated by firing 98 rounds of Medium Machine Guns (MMGs) and 34 grenades of AGL, resulting in exchanges which continued for few hours, officials said.
The injured jawan was hospitalised, they said, adding that splinters in his body have been removed and he is now out of danger.
Pakistani troops also fired on Indian forward posts in other belt of Mendhar around 2125 hours last night, Defence Spokesman, S N Acharya said, adding that Indian gave calibrated reply without any loss of life or injury to anyone.
On September 15, Pakistani troops violated ceasefire twice at night in Mandi and Garhi sectors of Poonch, with firing exchanges continuing next morning, and also fired on forward posts along the LoC in Mendhar sub-sector of Poonch from 0625 hours to 1000 hours on the same day.
There have been over 90 ceasefire violations by the Pakistani troops since January 1.
Six jawans were killed and 13 people injured in ceasefire violations and firing by Pakistani troops in forward posts, civilian areas and patrol parties along the border in August.

Where are the local Tea Partiers when we need them? I cant help but notice the resounding silence surrounding the federal government paying millions of dollars in clean up costs in Aiken County. Nor was a word said about the extra-ordinary amount of money spent to keep the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility or MOX running.
In fact, I dont recall anything said when the federal government paid the cost of the Graniteville water system (part of Obamas stimulus that they so love to hate), or the Laurens Street railroad bridge or ... well, you get my point. I tried real hard, but couldnt find anything in the Constitution about any of them.
This is precisely why no matter who is in power in Washington, D.C., no one will have any impact on the budget. We always want to cut the other guys money, but dont take anything away from me.

Man reunited with a race car nearly 50 years on
HANOVER -- When Charlie Garrett sold his restored 1939 Studebaker in 1965, he never expected to see it again.
But not so long ago, he sat in the car, newly restored, started the engine and listened to the familiar sound.
Garrett, of Hanover, raced the car as a young man in his 20s. He was reunited with his racing team during the U.S. 30 Dragstrip Reunion Show at the York Fairgrounds in July the same day he was reunited with the Studebaker.
"We were just a bunch of kids who wanted to race," he said. "I needed something to keep me out of trouble."
In 1967, the car was featured in Hot Rod Magazine. He sold it the same year and opened his Hanover racing-engine shop, which he still runs today.
Randy and Yvonne Davis, of Littlestown, have a garage full of restored classic cars they've restored behind their Littlestown home and have known Garrett since 1978. The Davises would buy cars from him and restore them.
They decided to restore a Studebaker and eventually bought parts to build one, until they found what they thought was Garrett's original one in 2010.
So Randy Davis brought it to Garrett and said, "I think I have your old car."
Garrett put a magnet on one of the door hinges -- he'd replaced them with a nonmagnetic metal in the 1960s. When the magnet fell off, he knew it was his car.
Another owner had turned the car into a street rod. It was in bad condition by the time the Davises bought it.
For the next 18 months, the Davises worked with Jon Little, a Littlestown racecar fabricator, to turn the car into the same car Garrett remembered. They would buy parts online, show them to Garrett and compare them to pictures from the 1960s to make sure everything was just as it was.
After 18 months, the car was ready -- just in time for the 65th anniversary of Hot Rod Magazine.
The owners of all cars that were featured in the last 50 years were invited for a special reunion show in California this March.
"They couldn't believe we finished the car just for that show," Yvonne Davis said.

This page describes how to use supported libraries in the Google App Engine Python 2.7 runtime environment. By default, this runtime environment includes the Python standard library, the App Engine libraries, and a few bundled third- party packages. For a complete list of runtime-provided libraries, see the built-in third-party libraries reference.
Adding libraries
You can add a third-party library to your app in one of two ways: requesting the library or installing the library.
Requesting a library
You can request a library by using the
libraries: directive in
- name: PIL
version: "1.1.7"
- name: webob
version: "1.1.1"
Note that:
- The library must be one of the supported runtime-provided third-party libraries.
- When deployed, App Engine will provide the requested libraries to the runtime environment.
- Some libraries must be installed locally.
Installing a library
You can install the library into a folder in your project's source directory. The library must be implemented as pure Python code with no C extensions. The code is uploaded to App Engine with your application code, and counts towards file quotas.
The easiest way to manage this is with a
./lib directory:
Use pip to install the library and the vendor module to enable importing packages from the third-party library directory.
Create a directory named
libin your application root directory:
mkdir lib
To tell your app how to find libraries in this directory, create or modify a file named
appengine_config.pyin the root of your project, then add these lines:
from google.appengine.ext import vendor # Add any libraries installed in the "lib" folder. vendor.add('lib')
pipwith the
-t libflag to install libraries in this directory:
pip install -t lib gcloud
appengine_config.py file above assumes that the current working
directory is where the
lib folder is located. In some cases, such as unit
tests, the current working directory can be different. To avoid errors, you
can explicity pass in the full path to the
lib folder using:
vendor.add(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)), 'lib'))
pip requirements files
pip can read a list of libraries to install from a file, known as a
requirements file. Requirements files make it easy to set up a new
development environment for your app, and upgrade to new versions of libraries.
A requirements file is a text file with one line per library, listing the package name and version:
To install the libraries from a requirements file, use the
-r flag in addition
to the
-t lib flag:
pip install -t lib -r requirements.txt
Using libraries with the local development server
While several of the runtime-provided libraries are available to your local development environment through the App Engine SDK, the following libraries are platform-dependent and must be installed locally before you can use them with the development server:
You can use the pip command to install all of these packages from the Python package index (PyPI).
sudo pip install lxml==2.3.5
Depending on your platform, you might need to install build support tools and Python sources to install these libraries.
- On Linux, the package manager can provide these prerequisites and can often provide a pre-built version of the library.
- On Windows, installers for pre-built versions are usually available. *On OS X, the Xcode Command Line Tools are required to build some packages.
Using Django or
This section provides information you should know when using the Django or
matplotlib libraries.
Using Django
Django is a full-featured web application framework for Python. It provides a full stack of interchangable components, including dispatch, views, middleware, and templating components, and many others.
The Django data modeling interface is not compatible with the App Engine datastore. You can use the App Engine data modeling libraries (db or ndb) in your Django applications. However, third-party Django applications that use the Django data modeling interface, most notably Django's Admin application, might not directly work with App Engine.
The Datastore modeling library (DB) is the default. To use Django with the
NDB storage API instead, add
to the
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES entry in your Django
settings.py file.
It's a good idea to insert it in front of any other middleware classes,
since some other middleware might make datastore calls and those won't be
handled properly if that middleware is invoked before this middleware.
You can learn more about Django middleware in the
project documentation.
To enable Django in your app, specify the WSGI application and Django library in
- url: /.*
script: main.app # a WSGI application in the main module's global scope
- name: django
version: "1.4"
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable must be set to the name of
your Django settings module, typically
'settings', before packages are
If your Django settings module is something other than
settings.py, set the
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable accordingly either in your
app.yaml file:
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: 'myapp.settings'
Or in your Python code:
import os
# specify the name of your settings module
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myapp.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
app = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
Matplotlib is a plotting library
that produces graphs and figures in a variety of image formats. On App Engine,
the interactive modes of matplotlib are not supported, and a number of other
features are also unavailable. This means you cannot use
as many matplotlib tutorials suggest. Instead, you should use
to write image data to theoutput stream, a
instance, or the Google Cloud Storage using the
Cloud Storage Client Library.
Matplotlib allows
extensive customization
through the use of the
matplotlibrc configuration file, which should be placed
in the application's top-level directory. Alternatively, you can set the
MATPLOTLIBRC environment variable to a path relative to your application's
The default
is AGG, which allows writing files of all supported formats: PNG (the default
format), RAW, PS, PDF, SVG and SVGZ. If you make the PIL library available by
PIL to the
libraries section of
app.yaml, then the AGG backend will
automatically support writing JPEG and TIFF image formats as well.
Matplotlib comes with a number of fonts which are automatically available. You
can use custom fonts by uploading them in TTF format along with your
application, and setting the
TTFPATH environment variable to the path where
they are located, relative to your application's directory. For more information,
see the
A number of matplotlib features are not supported on App Engine. In particular:
- There is no
~/.matplotlibdirectory. However, there are alternative locations to place the
matplotlibrcconfiguration file, as described above.
- Interactive backends and GUI elements are not supported.
- The EMF, Cairo and GDK backends are not supported.
- There is no caching, and therefore a number of mechanisms will re-calculate or
re-download data that would normally be cached. Specific caching mechanisms that

- Use of an external PostScript distiller program is not supported. Setting
xpdfwill not work.
- Use of an external video encoding program is not supported. The
matplotlib.animation.Animation.savemethod will not work, and therefore, the

Historical Traveler Reviews Ameritania Hotel New York City
First off the Hotel was NOTHING like what the Expedia.com review claimed. The lobby was nice, but the room was horrible. TINY (Even by NY standards), smelly, and noisy. It was barely lit, gloomy, had a beat up old air conditioner, and the wallpaper was peeling at all of the seams. I had requested a queen bed, but when we checked in we were given a double. A chat with the clerk at the desk and we were informed that because we booked through Expedia, a queen was requested, but not guaranteed. After scanning my itinerary I found the small print which said so. How cute. Fine, we'll keep the stinky, stuffy cramped double-bed room. Well, to my surprise, when we tried to sleep that night, we got to listen to the elevator all night. It was like a sound effect of someone dragging furniture around on the floor right above ALL NIGHT. Well, after a non-existant night of sleep, I squeezed into the closet sized bathroom, and climbed over the toilet to get into the shower the next morning. Oh joy, a light drizzle of water coming out of the showerhead! How invigorating! At least the dribbling shower was hot...The only positive thing I can say about the room. The shower curtain did not fit the shower correctly, so the closet sized bathroom floor flooded during every shower. The second night was more of the same, but just to top things off, the air conditioner started sounding like a blender filled with rocks. (Since the windows didn't open at all, the only way to get any fresh air into the musty room was with the air conditioner.) NOT the renovated art-deco the Expedia review claimed.Done with Ameritania, and done with Expedia.
Ameritania is hip and a great value
I just popped off to NYC with a couple of girlfriends for the weekend and decided to stay at the Ameritania because of its central location (right next to the Ed Sullivan theater). Our large-ish room, with two double beds, immense closet and well-appointed bathroom were ideal. The decor was modern, yet managed to be cozy, too. We enjoyed the Twist Lounge in the lobby as a good place to hit before stepping out. The free bagel/coffee/juice breakfasts in the morning were also a nice touch. We would definitely consider staying there again, if we don't check out one of their sister properties, the Moderne or the Bentley. Perhaps the naysayers stayed prior to the renovation? Check it out!
Very small and basic but it did the job!
well the best thing about this hotel is its ideal location..right in the heart of times square, next to the letterman show. we chose this hotel because of the reasonable price and because it looked modern and clean. there were 4 of us in our room with 2 double beds, but it is true what they say...the rooms were tiny, with not much room to manouver. reception area is very modern, with a cosy fireside bar. However the rooms were not modern and as i say very small. i would probably not go back to this hotel as the room was just far too small, but we had a great time in new york anyway.
Shoe box room
The Hotel was nice but the room was so small it was hard to walk around. And the shower only had half a door so when you take a shower the bathroom gets flooded. Also the bathroom had no fan so I felt faint after a hot shower. Great location but crappy room.
Front Desk needs help
My sister and I received good reviews from persons who had stayed at the Ameritania in NYC.
Anticipated decor - arrived 12/26/02 at front desk about 4pm - great doormen-helpful-front desk quickly handled our reservation and key - opened the door to the room to find 1 double bed - when reservation clearly states 2 double beds or 1 king.
called desk - "that's not our problem" - "you have what you reserved!" explained what we paid for - "sorry that is all I can do!" - called HDN - got to a supervisor - told he would call hotel and get problem cleared - 30 minutes later and 4 phone calls to desk and HDN -a bellman at the door to move us 2 rooms down to 208- great 2 double beds-everthing is fine - no heat but were not advised of radiator operation. 2nd floor is very noisy - bar #54 is loud until about 1 or 2 am. Morning found a major leak from the bath ceiling and tub area. Advised desk - no response for 4 hours - out sightseeing -not repaired until 2nd call - maid cleaned room but left no clean towels. following dinner and show - had to call again for towels. 2nd day our plastic card cards would not open the room - very rude front desk said that both cards were not working due to our putting the cards in our wallets - where would one keep the key cards was our question? She shrugged and reminded us as you would a child to take care of the key cards. She probably assumed we had never seen such keycards - oh! my! it's the big city!
Spouse called the hotel on 12/27 and was told that we were not registered - we had checked in 12/26. He called back after cell phone call to me - confirming our presence and insisted when he again called the hotel - it seems we were there this time! Upon attempting to partake of the FREE BREAKFAST SERVED FROM 7 -10 - at 9:20 arrived to find only juice and coffee - no bagels - no food- just coffee and juice. Attendant reminded us that it was 9:20 - all food was gone! Does 7 - 10 really mean 7-9:20? Check out day 12/29 arrived - we had a great time in NYC - we chose not to let the bad hotel experience ruin our trip - we have seen worse but most of the time seen a lot better - even the modest Holiday Inn maintain cordial staff. Hotel is in a great location - we elected to go for location -never expecting a hotel in such a location would be of this low caliber. We were prepared for the furnishings - older hotel- and all the premise problems - but no excuse for rude front desk - and poor management to detail. We were treated kindly by police, subway personnel, theatre personnel, merchants, dining staff at very busy restaurants - and expected vendors - but to have such hotel staffed at a front desk with such rude and uncalled for behavior is a shame. I am proud of New York - the whole country is pulling for New York - we want to see New York proper with all the past and current problems - we who live in other areas of the country believed your former mayor that New York wants us to visit NYC. The city has more to offer than most any major city in the US! Why don't the people at the Ameritania have the same attitude as the rest of the city. If you don't like your job - make a change - be happy in what you do and how you project the image of your hotel. Don't mess up something that could be so positive. Bad impressions usually have a life of their own - they tend to grow. The Ameritania front desk staff can change - you can make the difference - why not be known as the nicest moderate hotel in NYC - the ch
Worst hotel in NYC
My husband and my two children stayed at the Ameritania on 12/6/02. The hotel staff were rude and had no idea what customer service meant. They gave a room with a king size bed and could not get a roll away bed for my husband to sleep in. We could not all fit in the bed. They didn't care and said they did not have to guarentee anything because I booked the hotel through the internet, expedia.com..it was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. never again. we asked for our money back and no one has responded. we will be writing letters.
Doesn't live up to expectation
We have stayed at the Ameritania Hotel twice. The first time was absolutely awful. The room was very small, no amenities and the window didn't even shut all the way! The second time (we went a second time b/c it was on the Thanksgiving parade route), the room was on a higher floor and was a bigger, much nicer room. Still, it would be nice to have some comfortable chairs in the room. Both times the noise was unbearable. I have lived in Manhattan, so I am accustomed to the usual noises that go on. However, this was beyond anything acceptable for a hotel. There seemed to be a nightclub or concert hall very close to the hotel. We could actually feel the bass while we were lying in bed! This is an ok hotel if you want to be close to Times Square and you are going to be partying all night. Otherwise, find something a little more comfortable.
Glitzy cover, bad story
The purportedly all-renovated hotel got a facelift in the lobby, the pictures of rooms looked elegant, but the 'real' rooms we got were musty, cramped and extremely noisy. They evidently forgot to change the 100-year-old windows. Even with a room change from the noisy Broadway side on Friday night to the equally noisy street side on Saturday night, the noise was unbearable. We were there for the Revlon run, and got very little sleep, no thanks to Ameritana.
Ameritania Hotel - great place, we loved it
We loved staying at the Ameritania. We had a medium-sized room with a walk-in closet and marble bathroom. Plus you walk outside and you're at the tip of Times Square, lots of bistros etc nearby. And Letterman if you like.
Worse hotel in new york
outside and lobby look alright but rooms are boxes, dirty, grubby decor and furnishings out of the ark.had to change first room because room dirty with loose floor boards.disappointing and thankfully only stayed a couple of days.
