Advocate Trinity Hospital is committed to meeting our customers' needs. However, occasionally, differences may arise. Attempts to resolve concerns will be made at several levels (associate, manager/director, administration) but the grievance process is available to patients to resolve their concerns.
A grievance is a complaint about any condition of service rendered to a patient that they believe to be unjust or inequitable. This complaint has been unresolved at the associate and manager levels.
If a leadership team member fails to provide an acceptable response to a patient's complaint, the patient should be reminded of the Patient Grievance Process. The leadership team or patient should contact the patient representative. The patient representative attempts to resolve the issue. If unable to do that, the patient representative is responsible for calling the Grievance Panel together within five working days.
The Patient Grievance panel consists of three members:
Each member of the grievance committee is responsible for reviewing all of the evidence available, and helping to arrive at a fair and just decision.
The Patient Grievance panel will listen to the concerns of the patient and attempt to develop a mutually acceptable resolution within five days of the meeting.
The patient representative will work with the governing council member to notify the patient in writing of the resolution of the complaint.
The patient representative will report quarterly to the executive team and governing council on any issues/resolutions of grievances.
If you would like to discuss your bill, you should call a hospital financial counselor at the phone number on your billing statement. The financial counselor will review payment options that may be available to you. Such options include, applying for Illinois Medicaid, KidCare or Family Care programs, Illinois Crime Victims Fund, interest-free extended payment plans and charity care consideration. To help make the process easier to understand, Advocate can provide you a financial counselor who speaks your language.

DISHIN' WITH DEVON: The journey for the "Tourney"
Friday night we took on Cross-town rivals UNF. UNF is always a difficult team to play not only because of the rivalry but also because of their skill. They are a dangerous team with a physical and tactical aspect to their game.
The game began on the right foot for us. We were up, 2-0, in the first half and the beginning of the second half. But in the middle of the second half, we were unable to keep the lead and UNF tied the game up taking us into overtime.
Fortunately, we were able to find our "game" again and finish the real game in the first overtime period, giving us the win over UNF, 3-2. This was a terrific game to go into the conference tournament. They are a good opponent that helps us re-evaluate our tactics and game plan to see what needs work. We needed a difficult game to keep our noses out of the air and to prepare for more difficult games to come.
We have almost two weeks until our next game and we know that the weeks of practice to come are going to be physically demanding in order to make up for our lack of games, but they will be the most important practices of season. We are preparing for a Conference CHAMPIONSHIP and that "bling-bling" we've been working so hard to "sport" around campus.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit" (Author Unknown). This quote rings true in nearly every aspect of our team. For three months, day in and day out, we have worked to build our own high standard of excellence and it finally paid off. For the first time, JU is hosting the Conference tournament as a result of our hard work. We are the number one team going into the tournament which means we have earned a bye for the first game and we get a straight shot to the semifinals.
I am ecstatic about this opportunity. Every year since my freshmen year, the conference tournament has always been held at Kennesaw State University. In one sense, Kennesaw's field has a sentimental aspect to it. That is the field where big games were won and lost, seniors and friends played their last games and tears of joy and sadness were shed over a game we all love. However, that does not take away from the excitement of what we have accomplished and hope to continue as JU soccer. We hope to have our field hold some sentimental feelings for other teams this year and in years to come as a new tradition, a tradition of excellence for the JU women's soccer team.

Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers. Now, it's the early 90s. Carl's got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide.

Negative: 0 out of 80
Despite minor flaws, this is by far the most enjoyable game in the GTA series, and will eat well over 100 hours of your time.
It's like 5 games in one: part RPG, part adventure, part action, part racer and part sim. And it does it just as well as the best games in any of those genres...One of the best games ever released on any system.
Take a large measure of "GTA III"; add a sprinkle of "Vice City", freshly sliced sprigs of nineties gang culture; stir in dashes of "Manhunt", "Fable", and "Dance-Dance Revolution" to taste, then mix in a nitro-powered-blender from hell. Result? Ten out of ten.
When you take the scope of the entire game into considerations, San Andreas is a real technical feat.
The second you start playing this game you realise that the latest Rockstar title is about a hundred times more complex than its predecessors. Not only is there a load of new weapons, cars and a huge new environment available, but the gaming experience itself has completely evolved.
As with previous GTA games there's lots to criticise, but San Andreas survives, scathed but still walking tall, buoyed by the kind of ambition that sees most games crumble under the weight of it all. It's a multi-faceted, multi-achieving experience, a rough-edged but massively substantial landmark. [Christmas 2004, p.78]
It would feel truer to the game's open environmental design if you could have more general goals: kill an enemy when and how you like; raise money for an objective through any method available; challenge random people to races.

Aug 22, 2010In an overall fantastic game. GTA: SA puts you in the shoes of Carl Johnson (CJ) as he looks to make a name for himself in the state of San Andreas (based on parts of California and Nevada). The graphics are good, the storyline is epic, with 20+ hours of storyline missions, not to mention side missions, games, races, exploring, having fun, etc., etc., etc. GTA: SA has a little something for everyone (over the age of 17), and it's a fantastic game. One of the most fun that I've ever played. This is like every preceding GTA on steroids, with voice talent including the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Ice-T, Peter Fonda, and James Woods. The plot is fantastic, and one of the best in video game history. It's a better plot than any preceding GTA, and any one following it, including IV. Hey, the 20 million people who bought this can't be wrong, right? A masterpiece from all accounts.… Expand

Nov 15, 2011Still the best gta to this date. GTA IV sucks compared to this and watch gta 5 suck compared to it also. Comparing GTA IV to SA is like comparing a potatoe to a computer. SA is a very very good game. So worth the 10 if you ask me. Im hoping R* does something good for its 10th ani unlike the crappy 10th ani for GTA 3 where all it got was ported to mobiles and not ps3. I love SA and still play it to this day. Who says classics are bad?… Expand
Dec 17, 2011Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has several flaws that are hard to overlook. The basic idea of the Grand Theft Auto Series is to complete task for different people that for the most part are illegal. You have to kill, steal, and commit other crimes to make more money all while avoiding the cops. Past games have been very successful but San Andreas is not. First off, the City of San Andreas is simply too big. Bigger is not always better. It takes ridiculous lengths to travel to some parts of the city, and there really is no actual reason to have such a big city. There is an actual highway system which is basically the developers saying "Our city is too big and boring to drive through, so we make this nice highway to speed up going through all the horrible travel times." Why not just make a smaller city that you actually enjoyed driving through? It may seem not like a big deal, but really it blows my mind that players have to sit there and hop on an express way to their next objective. Going on the same theme of the massive city, there is simply too many pointless things in this game. One feature is having to eat food or else you get thin and weak. This doesn't add anything to the game, just giving players an annoying task to go find food every so often. Also buying food actually take an absurd time, walking up and taking your order. Why have this? All this is doing is wasting my time when I want to be driving the express way for 10 minutes. Every skill has a level feature. The more you use something or do something, the higher your skill becomes. Yet again this adds no strategy or use to the game. A better feature would have been having to pick and choose which gun skills to increase, like pick the shotgun skill and you can do amazing damage up close, but are penalized for far range shots. You know, make the player actually have to decide something. Not just driving around and leveling up your driving skill randomly. Its like "oh thats cool I guess." One feature is the ability to swim, which actually is useful simply because you don't instantly die if you fall in water. Most others are gimmicky nothings. You can have a girlfriend and go on dates, which is completely retarded. Would you rather get into a high speed police chase, or go out with an npc to a hamburger joint? What is the point besides "Hey look at ANOTHER thing you can do besides play the actual game." There are bars where you can play a badly implemented pool game. You can literally ride a bicycle faster then most cars. You can buy houses, which is useful because you will need many places to save or else you are spending 7 minutes driving down Los Santos Freeway to save. You can go try and find all 100 graffiti points, or the 50 oysters in the ocean, or the 50 horseshoes hidden in the game. Isn't that great? Over 200 collectables that you are expected to find in a city that takes a good 20 minutes to drive from one end to another. Basically the developers way of saying "Here is something for you to look up online." Hiding 100 packages in GTA3 was feasible because you could spend 15 minutes and have checked a decent portion of the map off. If they literally expected players to find 200 small items in San Andreas then I truly don't know what to think. ANOTHER feature is the ability to fight rival gangs in turf battles, which is great because your turfs will be attacked and taken over when you're stuck on the freeway 10 minutes away. If you like Dance Dance Revolution type games, then don't worry because you can load up GTA:SA, drive to a certain location, then play the dancing mini game. Why? As the developers must have thought, why the hell not? More and more is better. With all this added nonsense, there IS a GTA game in there, but its hard to find. GTA: SA is not good. All the extra features are irrelevant, and the map size alone is enough to ruin the game. Don't buy this game even if it's on sale for 50% off at the dollar store.… Expand

Baby girl named after Seattle Seahawks fans

Well, it's not the worst name a parent could give a child?
Seattle Seahawks fans, known as the "12th man," are a pretty loud bunch. They've been known to lead to false starts for opponents and have helped the Seahawks win all but one of their home games over the last two seasons.
They're a dedicated group, and apparently that dedication does not have limits.
Take, for instance, this newborn child. The middle name is somewhat clever, we guess, but overall it's a little...curious.
Welcome to the world, Cydnee Leigh 12th Mann. And yes, 12th really is her middle name. #SEAbestfans pic.twitter.com/Ab3WljjEZ0— KING 5 News (@KING5Seattle) January 28, 2014

If you can part with something you don't need (I don't know what) and swing for the recent 100-300 L IS or veteran 100-400L IS, you will actually see a notable difference in reach from 105mm.
Pretty sure RS2021 is referring to the 70-300L IS lens. Unfortunately that beauty tends to sell on the used market for $100-200 more than the 100-400L IS, which already sits above your budget by at least that margin.

A.G. Helton, chief executive of Action Properties, addressed the council and thanked them for their cooperation in helping him ready the former Food World building for new businesses.
"That says a lot about you guys and your commitment to this community," Helton said. "It's been such a pleasure to deal with everyone in this city."
The building now houses Goody's clothing store, a Hibbett Sports and the Mission Possible thrift store.
The last time Helton spoke in front of the Jasper City Council, Police Chief Connie Cooner Rowe requested funds to pay for hand-held radios for her department.
Helton said he hopes the funds will offset the costs of those radios or any other expenses.
The council also approved $20,000 in repairs to city property damaged during Monday's severe weather.
City Purchasing Agent Tommy Knight said $5,000 in damage was done to Jasper's senior center.
He said lightning struck the center's phone system as well as a computer and a copy machine.
The rest of the damage occurred at A.P. Howell Park, where wind knocked a light pole on to a fence.
Knight said the City of Jasper's insurance deductible is $500.
City leaders hope to get reimbursed to the tune of $17,500.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Expect mostly clear and chilly conditions with lows in the upper 20's. Wind chills may dip to around 20 with a southwest breeze around 8-15 miles per hour.
SUNDAY: A reinforcing shot of cool and dry air will keep skies mostly sunny and afternoon highs near 50. Sunday night will be a bit milder thanks to southerly breezes. Look for partly cloudy skies and lows in the upper 30's.
MONDAY: Arctic cold briefly retreats and we'll actually see a mild day! Skies will be partly sunny with highs surging into the low 60's. Clouds increase Monday night in advance of the next Arctic cold front. Lows will be in the low 30's.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY: An exciting but tricky forecast. We know it will be very cold as all computer point to another Arctic invasion. Highs both days will struggle to reach the mid 30's with lows near 20. This means any precipitation should most likely be in the form of snow.
Most models point to a low developing off the South Carolina coast late Tuesday. The trick will be how strong the low gets and the track it ultimately takes. Some models have a weak low tracking fairly far from the coast. This scenario leads to little or no snow for southeast NC.
Other models suggest a stronger low tracking closer to the coast. With the area in the grips of an Arctic airmass that would likely mean a significant accumulation of snow for southeast NC with the highest amounts near the coast.
It is too early to think about snowfall forecasts. In fact we still aren't sure which of the above sceneries will play out. One thing is for sure. Stay with WECT for the latest weather information! You can track the forecast anytime at WECT.com or with the WECT Weather app for I-phone or Android devices.
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: Arctic high pressure builds in and skies will become mostly to partly sunny on Thursday. Highs will struggle to reach 40. Arctic cold rapidly retreats Thursday night through Saturday. Clouds and temperatures increase on Friday and Saturday. Highs Friday reach the upper 50's with low 60's likely Saturday. Lows moderate back into the 30's. There is a small shower chance on Saturday.

Patient Comments: Fatigue - Causes
What were the causes of your fatigue?
Comment from: mom73, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: August 17
I am also plagued by severe fatigue. I have all kinds of blood work done and am now on a ferrous sulfate supplement and monthly B12 shots. Things have improved somewhat but my body still feels exhausted no matter how much sleep I get. I do work and keep busy. I have to push myself very hard to do so. I wish there was some help for this problem.
Comment from: sk, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: May 30
Feel listless all the time for last one year. Though my work does not involve much physical activity, yet by evening the exhaustion is so much that I do not feel like socializing but just wait for dinner and then in a hurry to go to sleep. I sleep for 7-8 hours but I wake up feeling exhausted.
Comment from: 45-54 Female (Caregiver) Published: December 13
My job consists of unplanned, urgent delivery of care to pregnant women. I am unable to "regroup" once home. My sanctuary has been invaded by a person who refuses to leave. So, now I am completely burnt out after 3 years of this. Never give up your sanctuary!
Comment from: 55-64 Male Published: September 26
I have had fatigue for as long as I can remember. It is not severe enough to stop me working, but it makes the quality of life very poor. I find it hard to start tasks and to follow them through. Social interactions are impacted because of the energy required to have a discussion. It is as though I am running on a flat battery. I have been on antidepressants for several years, which helped the depression enormously, but not the fatigue. I have sleep apnea, but although that was improved with a CPAP machine, it had no effect on the fatigue. I usually go to sleep easily and do not wake up during the night. I have had periods of insomnia at various times, but that is not correlated with the level of fatigue. At various times I have attributed it to studying (I have a higher degree), having kids (I have five, all now adults), and job stress (I have worked in several countries, and had moderate responsibilities). I like my job which is challenging and interesting. Although I am not wealthy, having been a single earner and putting kids through college, I am financially secure. So, I am unable to identify any real cause for the fatigue. Doctors I have talked to do not seem to know how to deal with it or even recognize it as being a problem. Perhaps I am just lazy...
Comment from: Lost still, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: February 17
It seems I have this fatigue all the time. By that I mean every day. My best day is 4 hours long and I must lie down. Generally I will fall asleep for 1-3 hours. I thought I slept real well but my wife says I talk fight and toss around. I am also very weak physically and don't know why. When I discuss with my doctor he doesn't say or do much. This has gone on for years and 4 doctors have not come up with a solution. I do have diabetes 2 and depression. Due to the above I am sure.

Instead of tossing all of those leftover chunks of Berkley Gulp! baits, save them to use on sabiki rigs. Cut the leftovers into small pieces with scissors and use the pieces to sweeten your bait-catching hooks. It's great for pinfish and most other small prey, and the Gulp! pieces stay on the small hooks longer than shrimp.
Remember to take the Gulp! pieces off your fishing and bait hooks if you plan to leave the rigs exposed to air for any length of time. Air hardens Gulp!s so much they can't be used. Store the sabikis or Gulp! pieces in a baggie with Gulp! juice so they remain moist (the hooks will rust if stored too long). You can even freeze Gulp! pieces, if necessary.

Formal trial proceedings against the alleged planners of the 9/11 atrocities have finally begun. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four co-defendants were arraigned on capital charges before a military judge in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on Saturday. The Obama administration claims that its improved military commission rules ensure a fair and credible trial. But outside the United States, who will view a U.S. military trial and potential execution of our enemies as credible?
Through hours of outbursts and objections in military court, Eddie Bracken said he had one image in his mind: that of a plane smashing into the World Trade Center tower where his sister worked.
Silence and the odd outburst from accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others turned an arraignment that could have lasted minutes into a 13-hour court session at Guantanamo Bay on Saturday.
Supervising News Editor Joe Sterling -- 404-827-1401
Jim Riches, who lost his son Jimmy -- a New York firefighter -- on September 11, 2001, seems cautiously optimistic that the men again charged in the deadly attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people will finally go to trial.
The United States on Wednesday announced charges against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused of orchestrating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and four others accused of involvement in the plot.
Human rights attorney David Remes talks about the problems with the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
Military commission charges have been sworn against Majid Shoukat Khan, a Pakistani national who lived in the United States from 1996 to early 2002 who is suspected of helping al Qaeda plan attacks in the United States and elsewhere, the Defense Department said Tuesday.

Eric Holder "reluctantly" decides that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others will be tried in a military court.
In the latest WikiLeaks dump of classified government documents, hundreds of risk-assessment files on Guantanamo Bay detainees tell a "he said, he said" story of terror plots considered and potentially planned as a follow-up to the 9/11 attacks.
As I flick through television channels, looking at the video images of Osama bin Laden, I do not only see what the United States government wants me to see: a vain, graying, diminished man obsessed with perceptions of his image (after all, I learn from news reports, he appears to have dyed his beard).
Osama bin Laden is dead, but the debate about torture lives on.
Within hours of President Barack Obama's announcement that Osama bin Laden had been killed, politics entered the fray.
A diplomatic source told CNN that the courier who was in close contact with Osama bin Laden and who eventually led the United States to him was a Kuwaiti named Abu Ahmad.
CNN's Gloria Borger gives the details about how a trusted courier led the U.S. to Osama bin Laden.
Video appears to show the interior of the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces.
Osama bin Laden's death marked the end of an era for U.S. investigators, who searched remote villages and mountain caves in a far-reaching manhunt for the al Qaeda leader.
Making for an odd news day Monday, President Barack Obama announced his re-election bid while his attorney general announced the administration's decision that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his fellow 9/11 conspirators would now be tried before military commissions in Guantanamo -- just as they were going to be tried before his administration took over.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced Monday that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 terror suspects will face a military trial at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba.
Attorney General Eric Holder gripped a black folder in his right hand as he walked briskly into the Justice Department's briefing room on the morning of Friday the 13th in November 2009.
Federal agents have backed up al Qaeda captive Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confession in the killing of journalist Daniel Pearl by using photographs of the veins in his hands, according to a new report released Thursday.
Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday the Justice Department is "close to a decision" on whether alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in a military court or a civilian one either in New York City or elsewhere in the United States.
While lawmakers debated how the Obama administration should prosecute accused terrorists, a pair of failed terrorist plots in the United States fueled political fires on the issue.
In an exclusive interview, CNN's Fred Pleitgen speaks to a captured aI Qaeda leader on the Iraqi insurgency.

9/11 defendants may plead not guilty so they can air their beliefs and grievances in court. CNN's Brian Todd reports.
At least one -- and possibly all five -- of the detainees with alleged ties to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, will plead not guilty in a "justification defense," arguing the attacks were responses to American foreign policy, according to a lawyer who met with one of the defendants.
Attorney General Eric Holder defended his decision Wednesday to try five suspected 9/11 terrorists in civilian court. Faced with bitter criticism from Republican senators at a contentious hearing, he insisted his decision reflects his conviction that a civilian trial represents the best chance for a successful outcome.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said in an interview Friday that just-released CIA documents demonstrate the effectiveness of coercive interrogation techniques.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday said his claim that enhanced interrogation techniques -- including waterboarding -- produced critical post-9/11 information was supported by a pair of intelligence reports released last week.

Ali al-Marri, once the only designated "enemy combatant" on U.S. soil, has pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to provide material support to al Qaeda, the Justice Department said Thursday.
Top Bush administration officials gave the CIA approval to use waterboarding, a controversial interrogation technique, as early as 2002, a Senate intelligence report shows.
CIA interrogators used waterboarding at least 266 times on two top al Qaeda suspects, according to a Bush-era Justice Department memo released by the Obama administration.
Five Guantanamo prisoners accused in the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the U.S. staunchly defended their actions, calling the operation "blessed" and "great" and the accusations against them "badges of honor."
Three of five Guantanamo Bay detainees who said they wanted to confess to charges relating to the September 11 terrorist attacks rescinded the offer after a judge required two to undergo competency hearings, according to a military spokesman.

MORTON Ill -- If watching cars get torn apart and ran over are your thing, Sam Leman's Chrysler, Jeep Dodge dealership is the place for you.
The iconic Raminator Monster Truck will be at their shop in Morton, ripping through junk cars donated by Neal's Auto Parts in Peoria.
The Raminator is a nearly 10 foot truck weighing more than 5 tons.
"They put a bunch of old junk cars out back and we just cut loose on them and let it rip," said Hall. "They've got a great place for car crushing with a real nice lot out back. It's a nice grass lot, so we'll let it rip out there, crush some cars, and make a big mess. We'll do some doughnuts and make a lot of noise. If you're in to that sort of thing, this is the place to be."
The chaos is part of the dealership's 5th annual customer appreciation event and starts at 7 pm Friday in the Sam Leman's back lot.
Admission is free.

Stunningly beautiful. A wonderful interweaving of city and country.
It is easy to think of Croatia as war torn rubble rather than the remarkably beautiful country brought to life in this book. A terrific achievement.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - The Westminster College Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity will host Phright Nights Oct. 18 from 8-11 p.m. and Oct. 19-20 from 8-12 p.m. The Alpha Sigma Phi house is located at 129 Waugh Avenue in New Wilmington.
Tickets will be $4 for students and presold in the McKelvey Campus Center TUB. Tickets can also be purchased at the house for $5. Be advised that the haunted house may not be suitable for small children.

One of five national social fraternities at Westminster, the Alpha Nu chapter's members are responsible for paying local and national dues. In addition to Live Strong, the brothers also participate in Relay for Life, which is held every spring at Harold Burry Stadium; and they volunteer at the annual Fireman's Auction, which is located in town.

RAFAEL BEJARANO, JERANIMO, WINNER: "I had a ton of horse from the beginning all the way to the end. I never had to use the stick. He just galloped the whole race. Coming into the stretch I asked a little bit, and he responded with a big kick. The way he ran today was impressive."
(Is it important to keep an older horse, like Jeranimo happy?)
"(Jeranimo) has run so often that he knows what he's doing during a race. You can put him wherever you want. He can be on the lead or he can come from behind. He always comes up with a good run in the end."
JOSEPH TALAMO, CHOSEN MIRACLE, THIRD: "I don't know if I would have won, but I would have run a good second if that horse wouldn't have pressed me. It just went too quick up front. My horse really ran hard though."
GARRETT GOMEZ, SLIM SHADY (GB), SIXTH: "The horse ran flat today."
MIKE PENDER, JERANIMO, WINNER: (In response to his successful partnership with winning owner B.J. Wright) "What else can you say about B.J. Wright? Many articles have been written about him, and he's the man. We met one another when I was just a kid, ten years old, and we found each other here at the racetrack once again. This is the house that B.J. Wright has built."
(In response to when Jeranimo will run again)
"We have always had dreams of running in the Arlington Million. We think this horse can go a mile and a quarter if he gets his trip and gets the right pace in front of him. As he gets older we are going to try and turn him into a marathoner. He might just surprise a few people. I don't think he's ever been a miler but that's where we were in the last couple of years."
Notes: The winning owner is B.J. Wright of Pasadena, CA

Big comfortable room with a nice big bed. Very clean. It was nice being off the strip and the price difference was amazing. Nice little casino. Very nice grounds. Close to Deuce bus stop. Free parking which was nice.
We were woken multiple times by the people upstairs. Each time they walked around it was like a herd of elephants and at one point they had an argument and you could hear their muffled voices.
Quiet location Space Beautiful grounds Helpful staff Lap pool
my daughter loved the pool and the room was very nice and big enough. For the week we stayed it was comfortable in size and the kitchen area was great.
the smoking room was a bit overwhelming with the smoke smell, I had a headache for a couple days. We don't smoke in the house so we aren't used to that smell. That was the only thing that was not pleasant about our stay.
I love stayn there cuz there's not traffic when heading out to a club n where it's located is just great of flamingo behing ballys walking distance
I liked that the facilities had easy access. The suite was very nice it felt very spacious and that king sized bed was amazing. The price for a four day stay was very reasonable and worth the money. I will be staying here next time im in Vegas.
The only thing I did not like was the food at the cafe. Everything we ordered did not taste good. It would either be bland or taste like it was processed food.
Kitchen should have microwave and dishes :)
I am a local and this is my place to stay. Close to the strip but away from the noise
Tthe strip is 10 minutes walk away from Tuscany. The pool we ,
Large room. Comfortable. Strip is about 500yds away. Decent gym and facilities.
Any walk is a long way in 38 degrees!
clean room , nice ,quiet , i will recommend it to anybody Friendly staff , cheap , good place to spend a mini vacations thanks tuscany ?
tv cable,
Great location, lovely setting, within walking distance of everything without the noise and hassle of being right on the Strip. Room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Courteous, efficient staff. Lovely gift shop. We only had time to try the Cantina and Marilyn's Cafe, both of which were excellent in every way! Looking forward to our next visit!
Can't think of a thing, except perhaps the need for more parking spaces.
Marilyns Cafe has great food at great prices. Nice quiet rooms.
Excellent price and location. Great size rooms and nice & clean. We will definitely stay here again.
Feels like your at home in this villa just two blocks off the strip. Great atmosphere, great staff, great value, great food/gambling--without the noise of the strip. I always stay here!!
- Value for Money - Good Dining Options- the 24X7 restaurant was amazing! - Very prompt house-keeping service - Decent location
- Would have expected free wi-fi in the room - Atleast a bottle of drinking water in the room on the day of arrival would have been nice.
Close to everything. Spacious rooms. Good food at moderate prices. Nice pool.Good staff.
big room, good price
We enjoyed the big room that we really could relax in. Loved the kitchen so if we wanted to, we could prepare some food if we needed to.
No light in shower. No trash can in kitchen. Could not totally block out all of the light from outside.
Pool open until 10pm. Large rooms. Not a long walk from car to room.
Can not think of a thing.
Nice large room with close by parking. Very good price and good eating facilities.
3 nights in a row we were woken in the middle of the night by the fire alarm. We had to evaluate and no representative from the hotel ever showed up to help
Price Location
Found two large bugs!
The big suite. The spa.
Kitchen furniture without possibility of cooking, no plates or cutlery. Wifi too slow, actually no free wifi at all
very conveniently located,and staff is very friendly. the kitchenette is a plus.
Loved the ambiance great atmosphere showers and television were big hotel worthy ! Brought me a baby crib for my 5 month old that looked nearly new and the room service/food was excellent ! Front desk clerk(s) went out of their way to assist me in personl emergency which in turn made my trip to vegas bearable as opposed to the nightmare it was turning out to be!

Shameless bandwagoning on the mods' great 1997 series follows.
For the 1997 season, the Orioles moved Cal Ripken Jr. from shortstop to third base. In a recent post, Andrew_G broke down the tonic impact the move had on the O's defense. But how did the move impact Cal? Such a move is often a signal that a player is hitting the steep down slope of the age curve. Witness Miguel Tejada – moved to 3B in 2010 and already wearing a Norfolk Tides jersey.
Cal, though, found a characteristically positive spin to put on it. He published a memoir in 1997 entitled The Only Way I Know which concluded with stories of the 1996 season. His last words were:
For the following year, 1997, Baltimore acquired Oakland free agent Mike Bordick to play shortstop. So ends my career at that position, and so begins, after fifteen-plus seasons, a second career at third base. The way I look at things, this isn't an end, but a beginning. Let's see what happens.
That could be the public-relations voice of a guy with a real gift for saying things people like to hear. But the rest of the book provides evidence that supports this upbeat outlook.
First, he had made the move before. It was one of the first things that happened to him as a pro. Drafted as a shortstop (which was news to me), Cal was one of two SS on his team at Bluefield when an injury to the starting 3B required a switch. A guy named Steve Espinoza (remember him?) was considered the more promising SS and Cal moved over. He valued it as a learning opp:
At shortstop, I'd still been having some problems putting together all the elements of the play. … But at third base, the ball gets to you faster off the bat, and those extra microseconds make all the difference. The required actions can be singled out and separated: catch or block, regroup, throw. You have some time. … I wasn't gun shy. Almost immediately I took a ball in the throat, but I shook it off. That move to third base turned out to be natural and I think it was important for me at that stage of my development. (p.53)
Another injured 3B in A ball kept Cal at the position, and by AA in Charlotte he had settled in there. Bobby Bonner was the SS of the future by the time they both arrived in AAA Rochester. Cal playfully includes his Fleer rookie card in the picture section: Cal Ripken, Jr. – Third Base.
What's more, he'd never been able to forget the idea. He notes (p.221) "There's always been talk about when I'd return to third base" and then gives three pages of examples: 1985...1988...89...92. He describes discussing it at length with Davey Johnson in 1996 and concludes
the issue was never whether I'd agree to move to third base. In the first place, I don't have to 'agree.' If Davey or any other manager says jump, I jump. (p.316)
At one point, Cal notes he was also encouraged by the example of Robin Yount, who won his 2nd MVP after his move from short to the outfield.
How does Cal hold up by the second career standard for HoF shortstops? I just grabbed a few indicators. Cal begins his second career late, at 36, and it comprises 5 full seasons ending at age 40. In that period, his WAR averaged roughly 1.2. He put up a 144 OPS+ season in 1999. He was an All-Star every year.
Robin Yount and Ernie Banks both began second careers much younger. Yount went to the OF at 29 and played 9 seasons there. His average WAR for the period was higher, 2.7, and he OPS+ed over 125 four times in the period, with a high of 152. His MVP in 1989 came a year later than Cal's second one, at age 33. But he was out of the game at 37 and was never an All-Star again as an outfielder.
Banks moved to first base at 31 and was there 10 seasons. Like Cal, he played until 40. Over that period, his average WAR was only 1.05. His highest OPS+ was 118, in 1968 -- the last season he played over 100 games. Banks scattered 4 All-Star appearances across the 10 years.
So after the shift, Cal acquits himself well against these peers. He was right to expect a second career where he continued to add value. The disappointing part is that his optimism was also colored by his belief that, after the 1996 success, the Orioles were back. He had described a decline in the organization through the 80s to the point where "our fans were the last vestige of the Oriole Way." (p.160) He was expecting a new career that corresponded with the Oriole Way restored. Instead, all he got was The Last Good Year.

National Youth Orchestra triumph for two teenagers
7:00am Friday 23rd November 2012 in Local news
Two teenage musicians have won places in the National Youth Orchestra.
Percussionists Jake Brown, 17, from Horsforth, and Tom Pritchard, 15, from Guiseley, will be joining the NYO for its 2013 season.
The orchestra gives 170 of the most talented teenage musicians from across the UK the chance to develop their skills with specialist tutors and perform under the baton of world-class conductors.
Jake and Tom make up half of the percussion section of City of Leeds Youth Orchestra, which is providing five players to the NYO this year Jake said: "I 'm very excited for the year ahead, especially the challenge and responsibility that comes as principal percussion. All the tutors are very supportive and really help us to improve as players."
He added: "CLYO has had such a huge impact on me. From the age of ten it has given me the opportunity to play lots of fantastic pieces and has been integral to developing the skills I need for NYO."
