Batch #4, Nov. 2002: Ive been holding this one for quite awhile. It ours a rich, cloudy mahogany color. There was about zero head on mine. There was still some carbonation and lacing around the edges. The aroma is rich. Some alcohol to the nose, as well as a complex fruitiness. Caramel notes also. A very smooth taste. A warming alcohol note is the first that is tasted. Hints of caramel and fruits, as well as a sherry-like texture. Extremely nice!

Originally reviewed 3 April 2003. Batch #3, bottled November 2001: It poured a cloudy brown color w/ a huge, long-lasting off-white head. This was aged in oak casks that had held some cab franc. Well, you can definitely smell the red wine in the nose. The nose is unique & beautiful. The flavor is smmmmoooooth. Some wine in the background, w/ chocolate, pear & hops. It's complex & extremely well crafted.

Sampled on 1/30/05 and reviewed from notes. 750ml bottle from 2001 batch 3.
Appears a dark ruddy brown with hints of red with a good sized tan foamy head on top. This left some scattered lacing and decent head retention. Malty sweetness dominates the aroma with strong dark ripe fruit notes. Present also is a touch of molasses and alcohol, surprisingly this is not overly sweet. Sweet with fruits and malty as hell this really packs a great flavor. Alcohol is there but it is minute, there is a bit of woodiness and smoke in here as well. Very tasty treat that has lots going on. Think feel and smooth going down. Ridiculously drinkable stuff here, I am only disappointed I have just this one bottle. I would love to have some fresher samples to compare. I hope the new 12oz none barrel aged ones are near this good.

Thanks to tytoanderso for this one.
This beer pours a lovely strawberry amber with a frothy white film of a head.
Smells of dry powdery barley with hits of caramel, rid licorice, dry autumn leaves, charred marshmallow and a piney hop for balance.
Tastes sweet with toasty marshmallow and strawberry, balanced with a crisp birch bark and dried leaves. The balance between the sticky sweet and dry is remarkable.
Feels thin and crisp with a frothy carbonation that tends to swell a bit in the mouth.
Nice balance here! I'll have another.

2006 Vintage - sampled in March 2007
Appearance: Pours a hazy amber color with a modest head that failed to hang around (I was not surprised, given the abv) but did dot the chalice with specks of lace
Smell: Caramel, roasted nuts and a vague pear fruitiness; the alcohol is certainly present, as well
Taste: Opens with a caramel flavor that is has some roasted nuts and pear to it; after the swallow, an earthy bitterness kicks in and joins the sweet and fruity flavors into a long waltz to the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body; moderate carbonation
Drinkability: A bit of an ugly ducking when I opened the bottle, it soon developed into a swan of a barleywine. What's with the octopus on the label? Remembering my Melville, I always thought a leviathan was a whale but I guess it now refers to any large sea creature.

They tend to pump cask ales with furious eagerness at the Fishbowl and elsewhere, so I asked my server to please pump it slow. She passed this on to the bartender who obliged my request with great decency and focus. I'm convinced her efforts were worth it. Not only are such professional courtesies honorable, but they genuinely enhance the enjoyment of the total drinking experience.
When my schooner arrived I drew it to my nose and inhaled one of the most succulent, fruitful bouquets I've known in some time. It took me more than a full minute before I could pull myself away from that luscious fragrance and venture a taste. My eyes were actually watering from the sheer delight of it. I can't recall the last time the smell of a beer stirred such genuine emotion.
I finally took a sip and was greeted with a cornucopia of overripe fruit - plum, fig, date, and raisin for starters - all saturated with brown sugar and rum. The bitterness was young and strong, and a measure of peat and alder smoke showed a defining presence. As the beer warmed beyond cask temperature, a greater measure of alcohol stepped forward and I was left with the impression that my barleywine might do well with a year in the cellar. It was still hot.
But this is a great beer for a winter's night. And the cask version is sublime.

Pours a cloudy light amber with a faint head that disappears immediately.
Aroma is pretty typical barleywine....sweet malts, sort of tropical fruits, hint of citrus.
Taste is not typical at all. Incredibly fresh tasting. Sweet candied dark malt with some tropical fruits (mangos come to mind) and then nice lemon citrus hops on the finish.
Mouthfeel is perfectly creamy for a barleywine.
Aftertaste stays clean and the alcohol doesn't make itself known until it hits your head.
Very nice Barleywine...one of the best.

Pours a deep copper and caramel shade with no real head whatsoever but appropriate carbonation present.
Aroma is orange, caramel, toffee. Heavy oak, some peaty notes and resiny hop oil.
Flavor is heavy caramel, deep citrus orange but with a very resined and oily hop profile.
Mouthfeel is sweet to start but moves to a grity, resiny hoppiness and finishes with a heavy alcoholic hit.
Drinkability is solid but heavy ABV and relativeness sweetness make me glad I split the bottle.

2002 bottle shared with a good friend. The 750 pours a deep garnet-red color topped off with a chunky and perplexing head of oatmeal colored fluff. The head has remarkable staying power for a beer of this strength. Glue-like lacings etch my Delirium tulip .
Full blown aromas of creamy malts, oaky vanilla, grape must, currants, cherries, root-beer, and spice cookies take over my senses.
Gobs of creamy malts start out the tasting experience. Mellow sweetness followed by vinious,dry, musty oak notes, sherry, sweet fruits, figs, apples, and a floral hop finish. A two-year cellar sentance has made this beer a delightful treat. I have no idea what a fresh bottle taste like, but it can't be better than this.
Mouthfeel is pure silk, chewy and filling. Soft as velvet with perfect carbonation. Warming all the way to my stomach without being cloying or intrusive. Finish is huge and dry with plenty of oaky vanilla.

Leviathan Barleywine Reel Ale...have I really never had this before? Is this truly my white whale, in a bottle? Eh, must be...
12 oz bottle...please recycle...
Tawmy crimson color, dusky, unclear, with a slim, perfunctory head....rosy look, all around...nice...
Nose abounds in wondrous, vinous sweetness, very wine-like, rich, burgundy-like, cherries and berries blessed with the richness of malt.... a deep feeling, rich and luxurious...cognac-like...decadent....
Taste: fullness to the exteme, plump, rich, fruity, beautiful, ....everything
I really want from a barleywine...all my slots are punched, here....I'm gettin' it...damned tasty!
Full-bodied, long, malty, hoppy, delicious finish...those seeking a sensous beery experience won't be disappointed here.
Lip-smackingly good!
After all of the years I've heard of this beer, I finally get it and it's not through, trading, no, it just shows up at Surdyk's...and now it seems like a regular ol' barleywine...nothin' wrong with that...once upon a time, we didn't have so many of those....this is also the year I never bought a 6-pack of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot, too!
Quite a nice barleywine, highly recommended!

750ml bottle - simply capped. Batch No. 3. Bottled Nov. 2001. "Aged in Hungarian Oak casks previously filled with Cabernet Franc". Hazy brown in color with light mahogany highlights. The light tan head drops quickly to a limited collar. The aroma is quite unique: winey, woody/oak, lightly peppery, piney/resinous hops, with a licorice note. Estery. The body is full with a limited carbonation; leaving it fairly viscous on the palate. The flavor is quite bold but not really complex. It's richly malty but well-heeled by bitterness, hop flavor and notes of alcohol. This is a beer best served at @ 60F to bring out its sublte flavors. Once warmed it reveals a gentle dark fruitiness, burnt sugar, dark subtle caramel, licorice, and lots of resiny hop flavors that carry straight through into a long finish. The barrel conditioning becomes more apparent in the aftertaste with a wine-like character and clear notes of wood. Someone remarked to me that "...it's more like a wine" - that's not far off the mark with the exception of its full hoppiness. The alcohol is clear from the start but not offensive in any way. It's got some sweetness, but it's also quite dry (probably due in part to the oak aging). I'd imagine that this would most likely benefit from additional aging. I found this quite easy to drink as the flavor is rich but straightforward. It left me looking for some more depth. I found it quite unique, and enjoyed it quite a bit, but don't think that I'd buy a case of it or put away more than a few bottles for aging.

wow! what a neat barleywine. thanks to timtheenchanta for this via the little guy bif.
A - bottle conditioned with a decent amount of yeast at the bottom of the 12oz bottle. A careful pour shows a brilliant ruby / orange color with a 1/8th inch off white head.
S - Oh, intoxicatingly rich vinous malts swirl around the edge of my tulip glass. Few barleywines I have tried show such a wonderful complex swirling of malts.
T - sadly in one way, wonderful in another. Similar to the aroma but much more understated. rich dark ripe fruit, vinous malts combine with a touch of citric pineapple hops for balance.
M - full bodied, creamy smooth.
D - smooth and dangerously easy to drink. Yeah, I'd have a second one and call it an evening happily.

Appearance - Murky, dirty brown body with a nice head that went down rather quickly.
Smell - This is a stiff one. The sherry comes out in force and works well with the nice hop aroma to create a wonderful scent. There are good oak undertones and a strong indication of the 10.0 ABV. This one is serious.
Taste - This ale will pucker the lips. The red wine tastes are huge. This is almost like a cab or hearty merlot. The oak lends itself well to the style. There are some sweet malt undertones adding dimension to the flavor.
Mouthfeel - Flat and full as hell. The alcohol is barely noticeable. This feels terrific in the mouth.
Drinkability - What more can you ask for? Strong, full-bodied, and unique.
Update - I popped the last of my '04 vintage at the end of May in 2008. This mellowed beer still had the personality of its youth but was more blended. The heavy red cab is still there, the woody sweetness even bigger, and the sense of alcohol a bit more laid back but ever-present. It'd say four years is probably a year too long in the cellar but this was still a very good nightcap.

Batch #4 Bottled November 2002
As it pours from the bottle a vinaceous color, the head leviathan in size, pun intended, the structure creamy and the color a winsome light tan, as it evanesces a fine sheet of lace is left behind to conceal the glass. The aroma of Oak quite evident, hints of red wine, fusel alcohol, sweet malt, and a real treat for the senses, start is ambrosial, malt laden, the top middling in its feel. Finish has a walloping hop presence, almost feral in its bite, the acidity stinging and the 10% ABV, produces a bit of bitterness, quite dry and long lasting aftertaste with the Oakiness lasting to the very end. Another Bad Boy, to put on my Favorites list, and one certainly not meant for the Lite beer crowd, so Drinker Beware!

2002 bottle, kudos to sham It pours a dirty earthy color, brownish orange dirty river alike with a thin off-white head. The aroma is explosive with oaky tones, mint and oranges. Vinous profile jumps to the face, full of grapes, sherry. Palate is fruity (grapes, cherries, bilberries, apples, pears), yeasty (bready particules) with a mild tartness and a wine-like astringence. I know some people dislike it, but I just admire the balance kept and very original character of this beer after aging in oak barrels. It gave it a totally unique flavor profile and it kept most of the lovely barley wine characteristic, complexity included. Rather full body with low carbonation. I need more of this, somehow, but you just owe respect to original quality recipes executed well.

According to the label, this beer was brewed back in 1999. This was generously provided by the cellar master at Max's (Casey) at the BA gathering there yesterday. All of us were stunned by how well this beer had aged and held up.
The beer pours an amber orange color with surprisingly good head retention and lacing. To look at this beer, one would not guess it was 10 years old. The nose is also attractive and is not what I typically expect out of barleywine. There is some noticeable orange citrus, along with some sweet malt. I'm guessing that in it's youth, this was probably one hoppy monster of a BW. On the palate this beer is delicious. The beer reminds somewhat of older versions of Doggie Claws I've had, with the hoppy bitterness seemlessly integrated into the sweet malt and alcohol. While the beer is still on the sweet side, it's not overly so, which enhances it's drinkability I think. This beer is surprisingly light on the palate, and there is no way I would have guessed I was drinking a 10% alcohol beer.
Exceptional. Still can't believe how well this has held up after all these years.

2006 Vintage
Poured into a chalice a hazy ruby red color, some carbonation, little fizzy off-white head, some oil slicks are only left behind. The nose is malty, oaky, slight spicyness, and some caramel. The taste is slightly sweet at first, then the malts kick in. There is a nice oakyness to this brew, also some spices/caramel. The alcohol is kinda upfront on this one, otherwise very very nice. Medium body, well-rounded brew. Very drinkable, a nice one from Fish Tail.

The color is a murky reddish brown. A very attractive beer, especially considering that this bottle is approaching 3 years of aging. The head is off white and is long lasting and also provides a nice lace for my eyes.
Intense aroma. Grapes, plums, caramel, red wine qualities and you can definately tell this is oak aged. Wow.
Phenomenal flavor. The sip is long and dynamic but is very easy to describe. Plums and cherries first. Then the caramel and other sweet malts come out. Soon after, the cab franc flavors start to come out providing a lot of dry dark fruit flavors. Cashew flavor next. The finish is huge and is nothing but oak. Oak. Oak. Oak.
Coating texture in the mouth. The mouthfeel is delightful as well. Everything about this beer was delightful.

12oz bottle of 'Batch no.5," according to the label - bottled in November of 2004. It's a pity Fish no longer puts the year on bottles of this, as I have a more recent bottle, but don't know just how recent.
Pours dark amber, almost tea-like color with an inch of off-white foam. The foam drops after a couple of minutes, but a collar stays intact. Lace is modest and spotty.
The smell is still more sweet than one would think for a barleywine, though there's a hop presence as well, along with a booziness in the background. The honey-ish sweetness is the most dominant scent, though.
The honey-like sweet scent is what first hits the palate, but is then matched by a spicy hoppiness that is just slightly more restrained. The fade-out is alcohol heat. It's all very similar to the review of this beer when it is fresher, but each element is a tad bit more restrained and mellow than before. Seems to be aging well. I believe I have another 2004 bottle stashed. I'll be hitting it in another year or so.

Found a 2007 vintage for sale at my local bottle shop for 10 bucks. Why not right? A hard pour at first created some head which was a nice sign to see that the bottle's cap had not lost its proper seal and that this was kept in great care while aging. It has a thick white head and dark brown tone before being held up to light. When held up to light you get the nice red and amber tones mixed with the browns depending on the angle held at the light. On the nose at first you get a scent of candied dark fruit. Sweet plums and you get that caramel and toffee in there but not as strong as I thought. Very pleasant. For a 10% beer the fact that the alcohol scent is gone is a great sign of aging. Flavor wise this is smooth easy drinking. You get that really slight caramel flavors in there and no hops at all. I still get that almost Belgian double kind of frutiness but without the yeasty notes of a good trappist ale. This is superb. The carbonation is very light and no alcohol in the flavor. You get a full mouthfeel of the ingredients used, minus the hops of course that normally will disappear over time. For 10 bucks this is a steal. I would totally recommend this to barley wine fans and especially people looking for a strong malty beer because if the hops did anything in this beer, it did yield a bit of a earthy tone in the back end of the sip. Dare I say this is better than the aged O2 I had at Fish Tale's brew pub?

2002 Version. Medium brown color. Smallish white foamy head. Aroma is malty, orange with a touch of wood. A Full-bodied barley wine. Malts are fruity and sweet. Orange and citrus with touches of vanilla. Hops are bold and grapefruity. There is a very nice hop sweetness that comes through the hop bitterness, Well balanced. Touch of an alcohol bite. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Pours a medium golden-orange with a fairly small head that dissipates reasonably quickly and leaves virtually no lacing. Quite still once it settles, though a few trails of tiny bubbles can be seen surfacing along the edges of my snifter. Smell is of resinous hops, pine and citrus, along with spices and piles of caramel. Oakey tones as well, and bright fruits. Nice. Taste is along similar lines, with some hot alcohol present throughout and a sharp hop presence in the finish. Pepper is strong in the middle, and it's quite dry throughout. Mouthfeel has piles of body and great levels of carbonation, and drinkability is great for such a big beer. 650ml goes down no problem, and I would love to get more as often as I can. Great barleywine, sharp and bitter without being a total hop bomb. Strikes such a balance that I can enjoy the balls-to-the-wall complexity and my girlfriend can still enjoy a sip here and there too.

Man this pour was somewhat lifeless but the old saying holds true: never judge a book by it's cover. In this case the cover is a body that looks like someone stirred up sand in a normally clear body of water. Very dark, no head and no lacing. Nose is faint but I do detect rummy caramel and nose clearing alcohol. I like the smell but I wish it were stronger. Taste starts with grapefruit and caramel, then segues into pine and bitterness. Yummy.
Mouth is pretty big. I like this barley wine. If the appearane were more on point this would be an amazing experience.

12 oz. brown longneck style bottle with no freshness date or code that I could see. It pours a slightly hazed deep copper with a 1/2" off-white head. Mild carbonation, but right for the style.
The nose is very malty, slightly sweet and earthy. Notes of malted milk balls, bread dough, and a faint hop in the background.
The taste is much the same, with a sweetish caramelly malt, bread dough, malted milk balls, molasses and earth. Tastes very much like an English Barlywine to me...big and malt driven. Tasty.
Big body with a bit of chew too it, alcohol is well masked for a 10 percenter. Overall a very nice Barleywine that's very easy too drink...reminds me a bit of John Barleycorn and the Old Godfather, which I like as well

Prediction market accuracy in the long run
Abstract"Prediction markets" are designed specifically to forecast events such as elections. Though election prediction markets have been being conducted for almost twenty years, to date nearly all of the evidence on efficiency compares election eve forecasts with final pre-election polls and actual outcomes. Here, we present evidence that prediction markets outperform polls for longer horizons. We gather national polls for the 1988 through 2004 U.S. Presidential elections and ask whether either the poll or a contemporaneous Iowa Electronic Markets vote-share market prediction is closer to the eventual outcome for the two-major-party vote split. We compare market predictions to 964 polls over the five Presidential elections since 1988. The market is closer to the eventual outcome 74% of the time. Further, the market significantly outperforms the polls in every election when forecasting more than 100Â days in advance.

A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas?its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries?Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
Sunset Tanz pays attention to the tiny details, swapping out tanning bulbs before they surpass 66% of their projected lifespan. The salon also offers special tanning-cocktail packages that combine the bronzing power of a UV bed with the all-over coverage of the salon's automated Mystic Tan booth. And after sessions conclude, the shop encourages guests to browse a selection of Australian Gold, Swedish Beauty, and California Tan lotions that lock in darkness more efficiently than a ghost hunter armed with a cage full of lollipops.
The beauty boosters at Shear Energy Family Hair Care offer a suite of services that range from haircuts for kids to mustache trims for men. Inside the quaint studio, hairstylists work diligently at their chairs to snip and relax strands, resulting in flattering shapes that draw attention to each client's facial features without wearing hollowed-out TVs as hats. They also enhance new cuts and textures with highlights and all-over color.
Nationally certified massage therapist Alexis Rich melts muscular tightness and eases chronic pain with several massage modalities. Broad and fluid Swedish strokes smooth away stress, whereas deep-tissue massages target specific aches with additional pressure and a motivational speech. Clients can relax under the radiating warmth of a hot-stone massage or steep paws in a foot soak followed by an arch-plying reflexology treatment. Alexis also illuminates visages with custom facials, blending her own formulas from homemade ingredients. Guests repose in a private room sheltered by sapphire surroundings and a wall mirror rimmed in ethereal lights that lends to an ambiance calmer than a placid lake after anger-management classes.
A striped awning shelters guests as they step inside The Village Salon's blue entrance room, which functions both as a reception area and an art gallery. Amid the salon proper's subdued gray walls and rustic wooden accents, a staff of experienced stylists under the direction of new management consults with customers before crafting flattering 'dos using products by Matrix, Moroccanoil, and Pureology. Meanwhile, aesthetic specialists administer purifying, age-erasing facials and meticulously cover nails with CND Shellac polish. The Village Salon also offers gift cards and packages for special occasions, such as bridal parties preparing for a wedding, couples celebrating an anniversary, or estranged clones attempting to reunite.
Licensed massage therapist Johnny Lawrence subdues sore muscles with a blend of gentle and firm massage styles. Deep-tissue massages journey down into fascia to release the tension that causes knots, Swedish massages silence yelping aches and pains with smooth, flowing strokes, and prenatal sessions accommodate the unique pains of expecting mothers.

Ben Ainslie knighted and Cornish charity workers honoured in New Year's Honours list
6:30am Saturday 29th December 2012 in News
Falmouth's Ben Ainslie has been given a knighthood while Cornish charity workers and business owners have been recognised in the New Year's Honours list.
Four-time Olympic gold medallist Ainslie, who became the most decorated sailor in the Games' history with his win this summer, will now be known as Sir Ben.
Ben, who went to school in Truro and learnt to sail at Restronguet, is already a CBE and is one of only four members of Team GB to be given the knighthood.
Among those in Cornwall being decorated is David Williams, managing director of WTW Cinemas, which includes Truro's Plaza. He is to be made an MBE, for services to regional cinema.
Mr Williams, 65, has been in the industry since 1966 and became managing director in the 70s. In 1996 he took over the Plaza, which had closed, and after extensive refurbishment reopened it in 1998.
His company also owns the White River Cinema in St Austell, The Regal in Wadebridge and the Lighthouse Cinema in Newquay.
Lugina Oates, from Redruth, is also to be an MBE, for services to the community in West Cornwall.
The Portreath Parish Council clerk has spent almost three decades working in the community, with roles over the years including secretary and treasurer of the Friends of Truro Samaritans, secretary for the League of Friends of Trengweath Hospital (later Longreach House) and a fundraiser for Macmillan Nurses.
She has been with the West Cornwall Cancer Friendship Group for more than 20 years, was chairman of the governors for Portreath School, worked with New Connections in Camborne looking after homeless people and has been part of Meals on Wheels for more than two decades.
Finally in this area, American-born Dr Melissa Hardie-Budden has been made an MBE for services to heritage and the arts in West Cornwall.
She helped form the Hypatia Trust that was formed to support and oversee the maintenance, development and protection of the Hypatia Collections first brought together at the Jamieson Library in Newmill, Penzance.
In 1997 Dr Hardie-Budden and her husband Dr Phil Budden donated the majority of their personal collections to the Trust, in the hope they would be used for public benefit.
For the first time in 20 years, British Empire Medals are also being given. These have not been handed out since 1992, but were brought back for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Among the recipients of these will be Alison Bevan, director of Penlee House at Penzance for services to cultural heritage in Cornwall, 84-year-old RSPCA fundraiser Dorothy Fisher from Camborne for services to animal welfare and the community in Cornwall, Amanda Kimmins for services to the community of St Agnes, and 64-year-old Phyllis Madron, fundraiser for the RNLI Penlee and Penzance, for services to maritime safety.

The price was great for a last minute reservation in this particular area of town.
Was trying to check in at 11:30 pm and had trouble trying to reach employee since office was closed and outside phone was not working.It provided us a place to stay.....the shower was excellent but the overall feel of the room was a bit old and somewhat dirty.

The staff is friendly and very helpful. Its the reason I stay there. Anyone thinking they are staying at the Ritz Carlton for $40 a night needs a reality check. The rooms are clean and not antiquated. This is a great budget minded place to stay in Fort Worth. The staff does a great job of making it feel like home with the amenities they can provide. I've stayed here on business numerous times and never once encountered a problem or anything I read in other reviews. I recommend trying then read the reviews, like I did, then you will understand what I am saying.

The staff was very friendly. This is not the nicest hotel, but it is nicer than the earlier reviews made it seem. I would stay here again. It was good for the price. Not anything fancy, but a good place to sleep after an event.

It was in the perfect location for this reunion. There was a really good Italian restaurant and a bar within walking distance. Our suite room was large, comfortable and extremely clean.
I had put my room key card in my purse and it had somehow lost it's programming so I went to the front desk to request a new one. They provided me a new card without verifying my identity. I could have gotten a key to anybody's room!
Poor 2.0
Room was beautiful but ruined because it smelled like a dirty ash tray.
Beautiful room absolutely ruined due to rancid smell caused from smoking allowed in property. Absolutely gross! Staff offered nothing to remedy the situation. Moved to the Hyatt next door which was nicer and--- less per night!

Mediocre 3.0
Would have been easy access without the construction going on.
Everything was old. This was not a 2.5 star hotel. Blankets were rough and the air conditioning unit had animal droppings in it.This hotel was located on the North side of Fort Worth which is in an industrial area. Lots of 'workers' staying there and having 'drinks' in the parking lot. Not a family friendly location. The hotel is old and the sheets and bedding were rough. I would not recommend this hotel for leisure or families.
Good 8.0
The staff was excellent. Jennifer (the front desk) came up to our room to help with the TV as it would not work. She eventually put us in another room.
The hotel is directly in the middle of a construction zone. Our GPS could not find it because there are no roads on the map that corresponded to the road we were on. Took us an extra half hour to get thereFront desk excellent Room well above average Location terrible until road construction is complete 2020??

I liked the location and the beds in the queen tow bed room
the staff is lazy a maid that it was ok the clearly let us know she didn't feel like cleaning our room.it was okay but the walls are to thin you can hear people walking in and out.
Mediocre 4.0
it was okay, we had no problems with the reservation. I liked that it was walking distance from a corner store an a I hop. reserved a smoking room, it smelled more like mold an a strip club.
the manager was rude kept taking calls an asking me to hold on (3 times). They also kept turning off the ice machine on the 3rd floor the only other one was on the first.They need to invest in fabreaze because the whole place stank of musk.it did the trick for a one night stay!

Reporter: Catey Doss
Lynchburg, VA - The recent heat waves have sent many looking for a place to cool off. So they've turned to places like the Salvation Army in Lynchburg.
But workers here have actually had to turn some of those people away. All 20 of their beds for single women are filled right now.
There are a few available for families and single men.
Some are coming to cool off during the day, but others are looking somewhere to sleep.
"They're sleeping out by the bridge or in tents or out at Miller Park. You can do that when it's 70, 75, a little breeze blowing, but when it's 110 and only getting down to 80s and 90s at night it's very uncomfortable to sleep outside," said Jamie Warrick, director of Center of Hope.
Warrick also says if you would like a bed to look sooner rather than later.
There are other shelters available for those seeking relief.

Controversial Donation Cup Ad
By: Cowbag - Published: Sep 10, 2008 Updated: Jun 9 2011 • References: chipshopawards and aboutcolonblank
This simple ad makes the message hit home and will also bring a smile to your face: a donation cup with "Please give generously, wankers,†printed across the front. A winning combination when it comes to promoting any charity. The term "wanker†made this a slightly controversial ad, but surely that is the whole point. The donation cup ad was created by UK-based Caspa Marketing.
Implications - One of the best ways for a company to draw attention to its brand is by creating a controversial ad campaign. The campaign can either be serious or comedic, but as long as it contains some controversial aspect, it stands a good chance of being viewed by fans of the brand, critics of the commercial and the mainstream media.

News on Hospitality House Retheme at SWOSea World Orlando: Not so fast with the new eatery.
From tilikum shamuOfficials with BEC have determined that the cost of retheming the Hospitality House would be too expensive for the short term. They've decided to keep the Hospitality Deli and gift store open and keep the draft bar open. Instead of giving away beer, they'll be charging $1.99 for the 12-oz portion. Seems the cost of removing the brewery tanks and such was too expensive (removal required taking front glass windows out — estimates started at $50,000).
Posted January 31, 2009 at 11:32 AM
They also have nearly 250,000 of the plastic AB cups on hand that have already been paid for. A high-level worker for the company also said that it would retain the feel and not change things up for people in the short term.
No word yet if a similar decision has been made at SWT or SWC. Also, no word yet on the Clysdedales.
Comments in chronological order. Most recent at the bottom. Scroll down to respond.
From David GrahamAny idea on the brew club? Even if, hate to say this, paid extra for it, but offered more in the back if they did. Education on beer will increase sells, or I have expanded outside of my bud light/bud world and now drink many of the other ones.
Posted January 31, 2009 at 8:59 PM
From Jason SchuckLOL, $1.99 makes it cheaper than Pepsi!
Posted February 2, 2009 at 8:39 AM
Does sound like they are trying to run through thier stock of beer/cups, then leave the white elephant building for Blackstone or whoever buys it to deal with.
Or they could go the Disney route and leave it empty except for private events.
From Anthony MurphyAnybody see the large amount of commecials for Budweiser during the Superbowl yesterday! I think getting rid of this all is pretty bad.

http://nypost.com/2014/06/28/knicks-...o-free-agency/Five possible Knicks targets
Versatile 7-footer has raved about Phil Jacksons return to NBA as president and needs out of L.A. Averaged 17.4 points and 9.7 rebounds last season. Jax and Jose Calderon will plead for him to take a sharp discount with chance to play with his brother Marc in 2015-16.
Kris Humphries
Likes New York a lot. A bruising big who could make nice complement to Samuel Dalembert.
Jordan Hill
Former Knicks first-round pick traded for 2010 cap space has developed into an active rebounder and at least fits the price range as viewed as backup power forward.
Spencer Hawes
With Marcin Gortat out of price range, perhaps very serviceable 7-foot-1 Cleveland pivot would want to out of Ohio for the big lights of Broadway.
Jason Smith
More realistic signing. With Pelicans, 7-foot forward showed he has mid-range jumper and can block shots.

Are you testing your SAML Federation?
In many cases a SAML Federation project ends with "single sign on works!". After fighting with attributes, certificates and other configuration, the project manager is happy with that success message.
But… are you sure your federation partner deserves the trust? In many projects I have seen misconfiguration, misinterpretations of the SAML standard, flawed implementations.
So, be honest, are you testing your service provider? Simple tests like omitting the signature of the SAML assertion? Signing the assertion with a non trusted key? Sophisticated signature wrapping attacks to get down to the nitty-gritty?
Try our SSOCheck tool, API or our montoring and certification service and make the test. Up to 80 tests are available. Download SSOCheck Tool and get started.

Interesting article but the headline "Bay Area bears weight of obesity" is misleading. Using the reference and Web Link there is not much difference between cost per individual. L.A. county is on my "eyeball average" about $1200/person. Santa Clara is about the same but Alameda Co. does exceed. Smaller counties tend to be a bit better.
But how did they arrive at these numbers and what do they mean?? Looking for methodology, I end up at the same place every time.
I do believe there is a major problem. We visited the Maritimes in the late '90s. We noted in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia many individuals that we likened to the Pillsbury Doughboy. When we returned to the bay area, we noted a considerable difference; there were very few noticeably overweight people. A pediatrician friend who spends much time in Maine agreed. We put it up to longer, colder winters than ours.
I also noted that several years ago the local park [Bubb] was occupied all weekend with youth soccer games and baseball weekday evenings. Son-in-law who plays tournament softball in the S.F. area commented that there was a tremendous dropoff in the number of leagues and the number of games. I asked the reason: "computer games!".
Yeah, lack of P.E. and McDonald's but I think he hit it.

This study sounds like pure speculation and a pitch for someone to approve the grant for Goldstein's public education program.
