Brow Tool Kit packs Brow Scissors, Precision Tweezers, and four Brow Stencils in a handy case. Although the products themselves are useful, this kit is overpriced. You can find equally good tweezers and scissors for trimming brows at the drugstore or online for a fraction of the price. If you are new to tweezing and shaping, the Brow Stencils can help, but they aren't failsafe.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills product line was developed by "definitive eyebrow expert" Anastasia Soare, a woman who owns a chic Beverly Hills salon. Her namesake product line is built around specialty brow products and shaping tools based on her criteria. Although she has expanded the line to include skin-care and other makeup items, the brow products remain the heart of the line; the skin care seems to be little more than an afterthought.
What sets the Anastasia line apart is the wide selection of brow-grooming products and their impressive shade range for natural-looking brows. Overall, the line is a mixture of both good and bad products, at a relatively high price point. We were expecting to find great brow pencils from a line devoted to perfecting the eyebrow, but Anastasia failed miserably with their extremely hard-textured Perfect Brow Pencil.
Their skin-care products also rank low in terms of efficacy and high in terms of misleading claims, and the mascara misses the mark completely. There are a few so-so makeup products you can ignore, and some of the brow kits have a frustrating mix of good products and awful products.
On the flip side, what's great about Anastasia Beverly Hills are their fabulous brow powders, good brushes, brow-taming products, and some helpful products such as Brow Fix, Brow Pen, and Tinted Brow Gel. They also have a beautiful Blush Quad and a couple of good highlighter pencils. Many of the products cater to those who are new to brow shaping (including a brow stencil set), and, depending on your local department store, you may even be able to schedule an appointment with an Anastasia brow specialist who can show you the way, following the namesake company founder's famous Golden Ratio.

For the first time in ten years, the Board of Education in Kingston is considering revising the school district's homework policy. Our Alexandra Weishaupt tells us why the district thinks a new policy is needed.
KINGSTON, N.Y. -- It's a newly drafted policy in progress. The Kingston city school board is looking at a new homework policy. It's the first time revisions have been made in ten years. "The kids should be going home with more constructive homework," said Board of Education Trustee James Michael.
Michael says ineffective homework assignments coupled with the declining graduation rate prompted the need for some adjustment. "Kids are not graduating and we thought maybe that's part of the problem, so we thought let's start from the classroom and we'll take it from there," said Michael.
This new policy has been years in the making. The board of education was given input from teachers and parents within the community.
"One of the things that we want to stress is that no child should fail on the basis of homework alone," said Board of Education Vice President Nora Scherer.
Scherer says the board is encouraging families to create a home setting that's conducive to study. She adds it's acceptable for parents to help their children with homework, but they shouldn't do it for them. "If they do the homework for the children, they rob the children of the opportunity to demonstrate their skills," said Scherer.
The proposed policy includes the amount of time students should spend on assignments, how much homework should be handed out and how teachers should facilitate it.
"It's a good rule to give about ten minutes worth of homework per grade level in total. By the time they get to the twelfth grade, they should be doing about two hours of homework a night because it's good preparation for college," said Scherer.
The policy is on the school district's website for anyone who wants to take a look at it and provide their feedback on it. The school board could adopt the policy as soon as December 5th.

This is a tough topic for many people to understand and to follow, but once the situation is examined in depth, I think it is easy for us to understand what the Catholic Church teaches about contraception and the surrounding issues related to it. History, Culture, Relationships, Theology, and more are affected by this issue.
Yet, before we start we have to answer this question - What is love?
Many people think it is a feeling or something that comes and goes.
- Love is a gift of the whole person given to another.
- Love is choosing what is best for another regardless of the cost to myself.
"Carried to its logical conclusion, the committee's report, if carried into effect, would sound the deathknell of marriage as a holy institution by establishing degrading practices which would encourage indiscriminate immorality. The suggestion that the use of legalized contraception would be 'careful and restrained' is preposterous."
"[T]he exceedingly foul deed of Onan, the basest of wretches . . . is a most disgraceful sin. It is far more atrocious than incest and adultery. We call it unchastity, yes, a sodomitic sin. For Onan goes in to her; that is, he lies with her and copulates, and when it comes to the point of insemination, spills the semen, lest the woman conceive. Surely at such a time the order of nature established by God in procreation should be followed. Accordingly, it was a most disgraceful crime."
"The voluntary spilling of semen outside of intercourse between man and woman is a monstrous thing. Deliberately to withdraw from coitus in order that semen may fall on the ground is doubly monstrous. For this is to extinguish the hope of the race and to kill before he is born the hoped-for offspring."
- Either 1,950 years of consistent Christian tradition (and the current stance of the Catholic Church) is wrong or;
- All of Christianity had it correct until 1950 (and the Catholic Church still does).
1 - Marriages would be better - Unwanted pregnancies would decrease - Abortions would decrease
But, what has happened?
- Divorce rate doubled between 1965-1975 from 25% to 50%
- One demographer has shown that access to the pill paralleled the increase to the divorce rate
- Those that use contraception have fewer children and later in marriage.
- Early years of marriage are fun, but there is a change in attitude
- But, children are harder to walk away from - They also make you less selfish
- Also showed there was more adultery because a women is more "available" and the natural consequences (babies) aren't as easy to achieve.
- In 1960 some 6% of white babies were born out of wedlock - 22% in 1992
- In 1960 22%of black babies were born out of wedlock - 68% in 1992
- 50% of women who have abortions go because contraception failed.
- "I got pregnant by accident"…how? This means something went RIGHT not.
Our culture now views pregnancy as a "disease" that needs to be "prevented".
In his groundbreaking encyclical, Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI predicted the following would happen if contraception was widely used:
1) "how wide and easy a road would thus be opened up towards conjugal infidelity and the general lowering of morality"
- he got this one right
- Pornography
- Rape
- The other person is no longer a person, but an object for pleasure.
- Forced abortions
- He had Christian tradition
- He had the Holy Spirit
- He used natural law - We should use thing according to their nature.
- If I want grass in my backyard, I better not pave it.
- If you want to have a car run correctly – Don't put oil in the gas tank.
- If you don't use your bodies and sex according to their nature, then it is going to mess things up.
- Procreation – babies
Unionof the Spouses – bonding
- Rape – the purpose of rape is neither for babies or bonding.
- premarital sex – It certainly isn't for either thing, though many disguise it as bonding. Why isn't it bonding?
- More children will take our money
- More children take our freedom
- More children will use up the earth's resources
- As a blessing from God. Curse – to be barren in the Bible
- As Gifts
- That the Earth was made for humans to properly use
- As immortal souls that we participate with God in creating. WE CREATE WITH GOD (pro – create)
- It blocks God out of the sexual act (violates procreation)
- It treats children as a burden, not a gift.
- It prevents bonding between the spouses.
- I want to have sex with you vs I want to have a baby with you - one says I want to pleasure myself and use you to do it the other says I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
- Stops ovulation
- If that fails then - it changes the mucus so that the sperm isn't in a good environment
- It prevents implantation of a fertilized ovum into the Uterus - ABORTION
NFP experts say that when a couple understands and follows the method, NFP is about 99 percent effective in avoiding pregnancy.
Billingsmethod uses signs of cervical mucus
- Sympto-Thermal Method monitors the cervical mucus, changes of the cervix and uses temperature as a cross-check. A second kind is ecological breastfeeding, which uses frequent suckling and longer feedings.
The Church affirms that efforts at birth regulation "must be done with respect for the order established by God" (Humanae Vitae, 16). We may not act against our created human nature in pursuing some purpose or pleasure. When you have sex you are reaffirming your wedding vows. You are saying, with your bodies, that you love another person. You sacrifice yourself for them. You give yourself, ALL of yourself to them.
- More sex on average.
- Women have more self-respect for themselves
- Sex isn't about just feeling good and therefore the women don't feel like objects
- More satisfaction
- Better communication and marriages. Must talk for it to work
- Marriages last longer (less than 2% get divorced)
- Freedom from guilt and sin
- Grow closer to God
- Cheaper than contraception
- No side effects
The Church gets the final word in answering the questions above. From the Catechism:
2370 Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self- observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality. These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom. In contrast, "every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible" is intrinsically evil:
Thus the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality.... The difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle . . . involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and of human sexuality.
But, if you want further arguments...
**Birth Control Makes Women Less Happy
**Why Contraception is A Long-Term World-Wide Disaster.
**The Pill And Women's Health
**Social Science Proves Humanae Vitae and NFP Right.
**Sexually Transmitted Death
**The Pope and Condoms
**The Vindication of Humanae Vitae

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

During my visit to a local Baptist Church I noticed a verse from the King James Bible that read:
"This do in remembrance of me." - Luke 22:19I almost laughed out loud when I thought that it sounded like Yoda. I then realized Yoda sounds more like English used in the King James Version of the Bible than modern-day English.
Later, I found out many Star Wars fanatics believe that George Lucas based Yoda's dialect off of the King James Bible. So, I decided to put together this list:
Top 10 Yodisms in the King James Bible.
Make sure you read in your best Yoda voice
Make sure you read in your best Yoda voice
- 10 - "What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter." - John 13:7
- 9 - "hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." - Revelation 3:11
- 8 - "I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye." - 1 Corinthians 16:1
- 7 - "Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days" - Daniel 1:12
- 6 - "Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus." - Acts 19:4
- 5 - "without him was not any thing made that was made." - John 1:3
- 4 - "When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them" - Ezekiel 1:21
- 3 - "And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:" - Luke 15:29
- 2 - "Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:" - Acts 16:1
- 1 - "this do in remembrance of me." - Luke 22:19
Of course the RSV is better than either.

Area youth energize local canning project
Madison Kloepper bubbled with enthusiasm this past weekend as she assisted with the Mennonite Central Committee's meat packing project for the first time.
Many area youth joined veteran meat packers who labeled cans for shipment to those in need through the Central Committee's distribution program. In 2012, 389,114 cans were divided between Bosnia, Burundi, Burkina Faso, Canada, Chad, Columbia, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Kazakhstan, Nicaragua, North Korea, Serbia, Ukraine and isolated parts of the United States.
Jeff Lehman, who along with his wife, Sondra, heads up the local project, said that volunteers come to the First Mennonite Church in shifts of approximately 30-40 people each stint.
Lehman especially praised local youth who have come as part of service projects for FFA , church youth groups and school organizations from South Adams and Adams Central.
Many young people, like Kloepper, can connect the dots between preparing the cans for shipping to countries with need because of their own involvement with mission trips to Haiti, Africa and other places.
"I went to Haiti last summer and saw starving people," said Kloepper. "They asked us for food, but because of regulations, we couldn't give it to them. I saw the need there; it made my heart hurt.
"This is my first year for doing this," said Kloepper. "I'm really glad I came to help our church do this. I plan to help every year. It really means a lot to help the church give food to people where there is need. This is all for God; we are doing this for Him."
"It is neat to help people in different countries and help them have better lives," noted Riley Liechty. "I hope that they will get to know God through this. It is really neat to do this. It makes me feel blessed for what I have."
"I feel like this is something I can do here that can impact the whole world," commented Lindsey Bluhm. "It makes me happy to think that I am impacting the world somehow. I try to visualize the face of some child somewhere saying, 'thank you.'" Maria Liechty, a fifth grader, said that it is fun for her to help with the project.
"It's really a good thing to help kids that are starving," said Liechty.
Stephanie Bluhm, now a pre-school teacher at the Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren, said that she especially enjoys hearing the stories of experienced volunteers who know of some of the personal results from the distribution.
"Every once in a while, someone will tell a story about how they heard about how someone really appreciated the project," observed Bluhm. "I like to hear the more experienced volunteers talk about the changes made over the years to the way that the cans are processed."
Others, like Katie Bluhm, have helped every year since she volunteered with the FFA in the sixth grade.
Lehman said that it is refreshing to have area youth get involved and find understanding in what all is going on with the project.
"I've been here 30 years," said Lehman. "A lot of older people can't do this anymore or they have passed on. My generation is doing this now; it means a lot to see that another generation is coming on to learn about this and what we do."
"I have been back every year. I go to church here; I have done this for a community project," said Bluhm. "It's amazing how many meals are provided through each can. I'm sure we can't realize how many meals we are shipping out of here."
Like many other youth, Alyssa Drennen was volunteering as a part of an FFA project. She admitted that she never realized how many people could be helped through the outreach project.
"It means a lot to help people that can't afford stuff," observed Drennen. "I hope that this will help them have a better life than they have."
One of the things that Jamey Allen likes about the project is meeting new friends and working together with the other volunteers. She noted that the sense of community camaraderie is important to her.
"It is something I do because it makes me feel good to help others," observed Allen. "It amazes me how we can do something so small and it helps so many people in an awesome way."

Panthers close out series in convincing style
UPLAND – A good Day for Eastbrook resulted in a horrible opening night for South Adams.
Eastbrook quarterback Tanner Day diced the Starfire defense up, connecting for two early touchdown passes Friday night and added another scoring on the ground in the third quarter as the Panthers were running away. When Day was finished he accounted for 25 of Eastbrook's points and led the state-ranked Panthers to a 37-13 beating of South Adams in what will be the final meeting between the two varsity football programs for the foreseeable future.
South Adams is dialing down its early season schedule starting next season, opting to open with Class 2A Winchester rather than the ...

Felipe Massa is looking forward to a race that he has already won twice before, while Valtteri Bottas thinks it will be great to see the cars under lights at Sakhir.
Felipe Massa: Bahrain will be different from last season, normally it's a very hot race but it's not humid like Malaysia, it's really dry which helps from a driver's physical point of view. It will be a change this year as it's a night race so we expect the temperatures to be cooler. We've been testing there in the winter so all the teams will have an idea about what set-up to use; we know what we have to focus on and where we can improve as well. Bahrain is a really nice place; I've won there twice in the past so I'm looking forward to getting back there.
Valtteri Bottas: We have had a lot of testing in Bahrain so we have more of an idea about our set-up which makes things easier. Obviously the weather will be different as it will be night, but I think it's going to be a great sight to see the cars under the lights, so I'm looking forward to that. We didn't look too bad in testing in Bahrain, so we are looking to the race as a potential for some good points.

love these shoes. even though they are not "walking shoes", walked for miles in a city in them, in complete comfort. could wear them for casual or even somewhat more "dressed up".
Sized as Expected
every day wear
These shoes were just what I expected from Merrell. I love them. I will be purchasing more of these in different colors.
Sized as Expected
I wear these to school. As a teacher I need shoes that are comfortable to stand in for long periods of time.
I work on my feet all day and was beginning to experience significant pain in my feet, specifically in my heels. After researching solutions, I felt torn between the theory that I needed a shoe with lots of support and the theory behind barefoot shoes. After trying these on, however, I noticed signs of relief from my pain immediately as the shoe allowed me to stand more naturally. I took a leap of faith and purchased these. It's been almost two weeks, and my pain has almost completely gone away, only showing up a little at the end of long shifts, each time less than before. I feel that my feet are healing. I would love to see more barefoot designs that would be good for work/going out/ every day wear. Thanks!
Wow! We are thrilled to hear you are pain free after weeks of our Barefoot Life Jungle Glove. There are 4 colors available on the website as well as other Barefoot casual styles and sandals.
I run in Merrel's Pace Gloves and love them, and was so delighted to find a smart casual shoe based on the same barefoot feel. One note on sizing - I ordered these and the Barefoot Life Jungle glove Lace in 8.5 and these were a little short on my big toe, so I'm exchanging for a 9, where as the Lace ones fit perfectly in an 8.5 (LOVE them too - I got the red which is more like a bright pink)- seems they have a little more room for a longer big toe. Please never stop making these Merrel.
Smaller than Expected
everyday wear
This shoe truly fits like a glove! From someone who normally, and preferably goes barefooted, this shoe is the next best thing. I have a bunion on one foot and there hasn't been any issues. I will be purchasing this shoe any time an old pair wears out.
Sized as Expected


text: 5 The best film of the yearRoyley | 31/10/2008 | See all Royley's reviews (15)This is not just the best superhero film I have seen, this is one of the best films I have seen. This is an incredibly complex drama involving 3 main characters - Batman, the Joker and Harvey Dent. Christian Bale is in my opinion, the best Batman we've ever seen, he gives the impression of being bound to doing what he does by the memories of his parents deaths, but wanting to find a way out. He plays the millionaire playboy fool as Bruce Wayne and is able to portray a believable nocturnal vigilante as Batman. Another thing that makes Bale so great, is that he refuses to be upstaged by his villains - always a problem for previous Batmans, but Bale is far too good an actor for that.Heath Ledger give a stellar performance as the Joker, lots has been said about the performance, but it has to be seen to be believed. He is truly superb, chewing up the scenery in every scene, that he doesn't run away with the film completely is testament to the aforementioned Bale and Christopher Nolan being far too interested in all of the characters in his world to let him. The talk of a posthumous Oscar for Ledger just highlights what a sad loss he will be.Aaron Eckhart as Harvey dent is the centrepoint of the whole film, his performance is also excellent and the journey he makes is the most interesting character development in the whole film.excellent support too from the rest of the cast (especially Gary Oldman as Gordon) but the three leads and the direction of Nolan make this the years most outstanding film - 5 stars, just perfect

Orignal Gangsta.
Signal paints each OG Snowboard top sheet by hand. No two are the same, so you never have to worry about some gaper standing in the tram line next to you with the same board. Not that a gaper would own a Signal, but he might have just borrowed it for the day from his much-less-gapey friend. It happens.
- Flat camber gives the OG plenty of edge control without catching edges
- Twin shape lets you stick your landing and then stick your landing switch
- Mountain Profile poplar core is tapered between the feet for easier turns and more control
- Nylon 8210 top sheet adds durability while maintaining a soft torsional flex
- Sintered base is fast, durable, and easy to repair
- A blend of triaxial and biaxial glass in the core for the ideal flex and durability without a ton of added weight

Residence Inn's Sanitation Procedures - Unhealthy
Posted by
FREDERICK, MARYLAND -- I don't want anyone to have the unhealthy experience I encountered while staying at the Residence Inn, in Frederick, MD.
When I filed the formal compliant below, with the Residence Inn's Customer Service that I became sick after my hotel room and furniture had been shampoo during my stay at the Residence Inn. The Residence Inn's insurance division sent me a letter stating that since I was on company business, I would have to file a "Workmen Compensation" claim through my employer. This is unacceptable and a very poor public relation policy:
"On Monday, 11, 2012, I checked into the Residence Inn, in Frederick, MD. (Confirmation #767482437COUNT). I was in good health when I checked into the hotel on Monday. If I had prior knowledge to making my reservations, that the floors and the furniture cushions would be shampooed, I would not have selected the Residence In, in Frederick, MD. On Tuesday, 06/12, in the evening, I returned to my (#111) and the floors and been shampooed and the furniture cushions were damp. The manager, Becky Survey instructed me to turn on the air conditioner to speed up the drying process. This is when things turned for the worst.
After 2 hours or so of staying in my room, my throat began to get sore and my feet felt wet because my house slippers were damp from the wet carpet. Ever since Tuesday, 06/12/12, I have not been able to get a full nightâÂÂs sleep because of a sore throat, headaches, runny nose and congestion. I have been coughing periodically, since Tuesday as well. Due to this condition and my unfortunate experience while staying the Residence Inn, Frederick, MD., I have had to spend monies on medication, a visit to the emergency room and doctorâÂÂs visit.
A prudent person have considered the comfort of the guest first and shut down the entire floor before shampooing the floors and furniture.The Residence Inn Management, in Frederick, Maryland was negligent in insuring the comfort, health and safety of their guest.
That being said, I am requesting full recompense of all monies paid during my hotel stay and medical expenses as a result my physical condition."

KevinTX on 07/02/2012:
I think your demand is fair, and I'm sorry you had to go through this. One question tho, if you knew they had shampooed everything, couldn't you of asked for another room?
"I returned to my (#111) and the floors and been shampooed and the furniture cushions were damp. The manager, Becky Servey instructed me to turn on the air conditioner to speed up the drying process. This is when things turned for the worst." -- at this point, why didn't you just leave and insist on another room?
FoDaddy19 on 07/02/2012:
I don't think that shutting down the entire floor would've been reasonable if they were just cleaning one room. I do think that they should've offered you another room though, to me that would be a common sense solution.
It's also my opinion that a sore throat and runny nose doesn't necessitate a trip to the emergency room. I think they owe you a refund for the room and the cost of a bottle of Nyquil.
trmn8r on 07/02/2012:
How interesting that they suggested this falls under a "Workman's Compensation" claim. I don't know if it does or not, but it sounds weird. Were you on the clock while staying in the room?
Seems to me they should only do this kind of cleaning during slow periods, and not rent the room just cleaned for a day. In your case they cleaned it *during* your occupancy. Did you request to be moved?
In my opinion they should refund you for at least the night you spent exposed to this situation. I'm not sure what necessitated a trip to the ER, but I can see that raising an eyebrow in your claim.
Random Hotel Worker on 07/03/2012:
When we schedule carpet shampooing and furniture cleaning at our hotel we do not enter a room that is occupied to do the cleaning. We wait until the guest has checked out, then we put the room out of fervice for a couple of days to insure that the carpets and furniture have had time to dry peoperly. I am taking the side of the hotel guest, and feel he should have, at the very least, the cost of his stay refunded.

Hotel Staff Stole my iPod
Posted by
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- After a three-day stay at this hotel, we discovered that someone from the hotel staff had stolen an iPod from our gym bag in one of their suites. Although we tried to work with Marriott to resolve this issue, they steadfastly refused to take any responsibility, and hinted that I was lying, despite conclusive evidence that the iPod was taken while in the hotel's possession. I will never again stay at any Marriott-owned property, and urge anyone who values their possessions to do likewise. This hotel in particular cannot be trusted, and the corporate management refuses to accept responsibility. Here's what happened.
We checked out from the hotel on a Monday morning and discovered that evening that we had left a gym bag behind. We immediately notified the hotel. The next day, we were informed that our room had not been re-occupied and that the staff had recovered the bag. The management agreed to hold the bag at the front desk for us to pick up. This was great news, or so we thought. Two days later, our daughter retrieved the bag, and while our smelly gym clothes remained, the iPod was missing.
We immediately notified the hotel manager, who sounded willing to help. By Marriott's own admission, the gym bag never left the hotel premises and hotel staffers were the only ones with access to it over the entire three days. No one else had access to it. But in the long run, all we got was a litany of excuses.
The manager said he checked with the staff and, surprise!, no one fessed up to taking the iPod. He offered to file a claim on our behalf with the corporate offices. In the meantime, I filed a theft report with the Irvine police.
Four days later, I received a call from the corporate offices. What started out as a polite conversation quickly degenerated when the staffer said they couldn't verify that the bag contained an iPod. "So you're telling me you don't believe me," I said. "No. We just don't know that there's an iPod," was the lame reply. I informed Marriott that I'd filed a theft report with the local police, and that filing a false report would make me a criminal. She didn't care.
Because we had accidentally left a bag behind in a locked hotel room, all bets for safe return of its contents were off. Apparently, the official policy is something like: Finders Keepers.
Finally, the representative offered me a $100 gift certificate, good for my next stay at a Marriott. (Does anyone know a Marriott where $100 covers even one night??) I asked why I would want to return to a hotel where the staff had stolen my property and the management refused to take responsibility. The irony was apparently lost on them. "That's the best we can do," they said.
No, that's not the best you can do. You can take responsibility for the theft of my property from your hotel. You can replace my iPod, and not tell me that it's two years old and that a $100 gift certificate, which costs you nothing, is a fair settlement. You can stop questioning the honesty of a long-time customer. And finally, you can cancel my family's membership in Marriott Rewards. We won't be back. Ever.

bargod on 04/03/2008:
What's your conclusive proof that you claim to have? How do you it was in the gym bag and not left behind in the gym locker room? If you do have proof then take them to court otherwise making public acusations can get you in trouble.
MSCANTBEWRONG on 04/03/2008:
I agree with bargod...I don't see your conclusive proof...
GothicSmurf on 04/03/2008:
What proof do you have that someone at the hotel stole it? You can only guess by using process of elimination. But who else had control of your bag? At first you did, then the hotel, then your daughter then back to you.
FoggyOne on 04/03/2008:
When cleaning the staff will open several doors at once to be it convenient to clean. We've seen this many times and more than once we've walked into another room to see the view or if it was a better room. Occasionally, these rooms still have people's stuff in them and we could have just as easily walked off with something as not. So you cannot assume it was the hotel staff that took it. It is not just Marriott, no hotel is going to watch your stuff for you - they always say do not leave valuables in your room. It is frustrating but that is the hotel business.

What proof do you have that an Ipod was in that bag? How do you know it was staff that stole the Ipod, and not another guest. I have seen the cleaning crew open several unoccupied and occupied rooms at once so they could clean, the possibility of another guest walking into one of the rooms with the door wide open is very great. Unless you have concrete proof, like a picture of the bag showing that the Ipod was definitely in there, there is no way they will admit liability, police report or not.
Suusan B. on 04/03/2008:
Don't most (if not all) hotels have a blurb on the paperwork you sign when you check-in (as well as signs in the rooms) that they aren't responsible for guests valuables?
jktshff1 on 04/03/2008:
Princi is right.Sorry, but why don't you take some of the responsibility for forgetting it. Kind of hard to miss something as large as a gym bag when making the final look around.
msnanny on 04/03/2008:
How can anybody (including you) know for sure that it was in that bag? Perhaps you left it someplace else?
spiderman2 on 04/03/2008:
You know what I find funny about this complaint? That someone who is absolutely positively 100% sure there was an Ipod in that bag actually left their bag in a hotel room. If they were that vigiliant to know where a small Ipod was, then how could they have left something the size of a gym bag behind?
LabLover2Go on 04/03/2008:
To all those who are commenting: I know the ipod was in the bag because we packed it ourselves. We never used the bag while in the hotel. It remained in the closet, with no one able to access it but ourselves. It was in a closet in a second story room, no one could have seen it from the outside. Hotel personnel were the only people other than ourselves who had possession of the bag. So yeah, it was there.
To the person who suggests my daughter stole it: Thanks for calling her a thief, but no dice. She's got a better iPod and doesn't need that one.
Anonymous on 04/03/2008:
Uhmm, I travel a lot and Suusan B. is correct; hotels have signs posted about personal items not being their responsibility. Perhaps it was stolen by a staff member; does that mean the hotel will have to cough up responsbility for those things that people did lose but now because they make an exception to the rule for you, they have to do it for everyone? You left it there, it got stolen because you left it there, it's time people start holding themselves accountable for their own actions and quit being so quick to blame others. Count your blessings it just a material item that was stolen (one that many people can't afford) and that no harm came to you and your daughter. Sorry, but the truth hurts.
Principissa on 04/03/2008:
Here's my thought, perhaps a staff member did steal it, but how can you prove it? You have no evidence that the Ipod was in the bag to begin with. Why are they supposed to admit fault and take responsibility for something you can't even prove you had in the first place. Are they just expected to take your word for it? Should they take everyone's word when they claim to have left expensive items in a hotel room? If that's the case I should stay in a hotel for a night and them claim that a very expensive diamond ring was stolen from my suitcase. Regardless of whether you forgot the bag, never used it, it's time to take some responsibility. You left the bag, the Ipod got stolen because you left it behind when you checked out. Any time you stay anywhere you should ALWAYS check to make sure you have everything you left with. Just count your blessings it was a material item, and not something more serious, like your identity.
jktshff1 on 04/03/2008:
Lablover....I repeat: Princi is right.Sorry, but why don't you take some of the responsibility for forgetting it. Kind of hard to miss something as large as a gym bag when making the final look around.
You still haven't answered that question.

Maybe the staff didn't appreciate your smelly gym clothes.
DebtorBasher on 04/04/2008:
I believe most places like that posts signs that they are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Anything of value should be locked in the room safe, which is usually inside the nightstand.

lablover, I'm confused. You brought a gym bag full of smelly clothes to the Marriott and left it in a closet for 3 days?

Children shopping??? I've never seen anywhere !!!
Posted by
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- I had my magazines and books thrown in the trash without my permission. Were more than 10 magazines and a book. I complained for two days at the front desk and nothing was resolved, no satisfaction or compensation was offered. On leaving, SURPRISE: The amount of the hotel appeared in 31 films during the period of 8 (eight) days, plus 4 films per day. I checked with my daughters, minors what they had done and was told that only linked to a TV and, without pressing the buy button, movies and attractions available. I talked to the manager, thinking it was understood and I was again surprised with the quality of care of a manager Marriott: She only speaks English, absurd in the case of a tourist town. She was imbalanced emotion, perhaps because of pregnancy, the more I do not know speak English tried to explain that it is very easy for a child making a purchase, no security code ... moreover, and my magazines and books?? How I get the loss of money and the reports I have read and would like to save and I and my wife does not read??
How much is the dissatisfaction of a customer to the network Marriott?? According to his manager the answer is NOTHING! After nothing was resolved, I received a visit from Mr. Joseph F. Ortiz - Executive Housekeeper who spoke to the person who cleaned my room and found that magazines really thrown into a trash, nothing could do but apologize! Why to access the internet we have to use passwords, accept .... and the movies just click on the button and select the movie??
I await a solution quickly and efficiently, to avoid being filed actions authorities. Regards.
To compensate for the loss of magazines and books, plus the lack of safety codes and alerts the purchase of films, preventing children have easy access. Return of amounts paid by all films. I would like that the Hotel, as well as many already do, put warnings on television and access codes to buy programming and movies.
Dear Sherdy,
I was staying in a large suite that had two bedrooms with two bathrooms, living room and kitchen. My wife and I stayed in a room and the children in another. We went to Disney for a walk, and they not only watched the movies came and after a few minutes changed, ... Remember that I am a tourist and that each country has its customs and where I live, a child can not buy a movie because it has code to access.
In an international network of hotels, which receives tourists from around the world should be more responsible, cautious, prudent and a manager have to speak a second language necessarily English and Spanish, this is not a criticism of the Americans or their language. I would love to speak English, because every year I go on holiday to his country.

So, your kids ordered a huge amount of movies you don't think you have to pay for? Where were you when the kids were doing this; four films a day should have been obvious to you. Why should a hotel chain be expected to parent your children? Be responsible, sir.

Try going to Marriot.com and click on 'Espanol' (I'm only guessing that this might be your primary language--you didn't indicate it), click on 'help'. A drop down menu appears. Click on 'Contact Us'. Or try calling 801-468-4000 for customer support.
goduke on 02/12/2010:
Actually, every Marriott I've ever stayed in has a parental control on the TV. You can lock down everything. Of course, you have to do it before the fact.
Curious, though, exactly what language(s) you believe the front desk should be speaking in a "tourist town."
Alain on 02/12/2010:
Possibly anything but English, Goduke. Seems to be an uncommon language these days. I'm getting grumpy-time for more coffee.

Where were the adults when the kids were watching all the movies? How did the kids have time to watch 4 movies a day while on vacation? Were they left alone while the grandparents were sightseeing?
Slimjim on 02/12/2010:
Wow, we are criticizing an employee now because she had the audacity to only speak English? Believe it or not, that's still a common problem here in the English settled USA. Best point of attack is go proactive and learn the language.
jktshff1 on 02/12/2010:
+10 Slim. When I went to Europe, I learned enough (and carried one of those stupid translation books) to communicate what I needed. Good at it no. But got me by. And they call us arrogant.
Slimjim on 02/12/2010:
I've seen a lot of strange perspectives from posters on this site over the years, but this is definitely the first time I've ever witnessed someone who couldn't speak English, actually complain that a (assuming) US native couldn't speak THEIR language.
What's strange is there is no argument the movies are legit, just that there were no child safties on the pay per movie's buy button.
Evidently the kids at least do understand English, because they seemed to have no trouble navigating the movie purchase process. I'm sure they could have set up the parental controls too if they wanted. Something you didn't and therefor this is all on you OP.
My biggest question is, where were you while your kids were watching about 8 hours a day, everyday, worth of movies? Didn't you notice they were buying Premium movies and watching them all day. Not to stray but why take a trip to watch TV all day?
shootingstar1284 on 02/12/2010:
Just playing devil's advocate here, but they could be like on-demand movies where you pay $5.99 and you have the movie for 24 hours, so you don't have to watch it immediately, or all at once. So theoretically the kids could have bought the movies but never actually watched them.
It's funny because you don't really get consumer complaints about people only speaking English here, but who hasn't heard someone complain about Americans only knowing the English language? Not teaching our kids second or third languages is one of the biggest complaints I hear about the US.

Well put reply jut, but.....If you are going to visit a country on a regular basis, it is up to you (called personal responsibility in the US) to educate yourself AND your children, to the accepted customs, rules, regulations and language.
jutrench on 02/18/2010:
Thank you. I'm using the google translator to communicate, so that some words become meaningless. I'm not mad at anyone, let alone with you but from what I understand, people on the site were condemning me, it wanted to make clear to everyone that I just had a problem with a large network of international hotels. I had a prejuiso the order of $ 230.00 in movies that my children did not attend, because we were to go to disney parks and so did every day from 08:00 AM to 22:00 PM about in this way could not attend all these films. Now, talking to the office of Marriott International, they said they would reimburse me. Once you have this refund I return to the site and take back my complaint. I love the USA, I always received well, sorry I did not learn the language and I am a little old to learn, the more my children study in a school and have the opportunity. Thank you. Stay with God.

"I am a little old to learn"
Jutrench, you're never too old to learn a new language. It's hard. It's easier to learn a new language as a child than an adult... but, it's not difficult.
Just give it a try. If anything, your children can also be a big help in learning the language as well.

Travelers Beware - Hotel Used As Local College Dorms
Posted by
My family and I checked into the Residence Inn at 2525 South Rd. in Poughkipsee, NY on a Thursday for a long weekend stay. The property looks nice and seems to be well maintained, but what we did not know, nor were we informed when we made reservations or at check-in, that this hotel is contracted to the local college, Marist College, as Dorm Rooms for their students. They have so many students here that they have a number of Resident Advisors for various groups of students living at the hotel.
Can you imagine booking a hotel room that is located in a college dorm?
If we had known this was a dorm for the college from the start we would not have ever stayed at this hotel. Yes, everything you can imagine happened to us during our stay, every night: students running up and down the halls all night long; students yelling and screaming throughout the night in their rooms and in the hall ways; students slamming doors closed throughout the night as they went from room to room partying; students jumping up and down on the floors in their rooms, etc.
Did we complain, absolutely.
Was Marriott/Residence Inn able to control those college kids, absolutely not.
The second night we went out into the hallways telling the college kids to knock it off and to be quiet, our own kids were trying to sleep, and the third day we were assured by the Day Manager that she had taken care of the problem, though she did not seem very assured of this.
The third night was no different than the previous two and the night manager at one point told us she had done all she could do and did not know what else could be done to rectify the situation, as the lamp on the table and the picture on the wall in our room shook violently from the constant thump, thump, thump coming from somewhere on our side of this property, this is at 1:00 a.m. in the morning.
If you want to have a peaceful, quiet nights rest, do not stay at this hotel. If you want to party with the college kids all night long, you have found your perfect hotel.
Did they comp any of our nights? Yes, two of the three nights, but they would not comp all three nights. Why? I am asking Marriott the same question.
Why did we not just move to a different hotel? Our schedule of activities and also hopes that the Manager actually would be able to take care of the situation.

bargod on 09/08/2008:
What your describing is called disturbing the peace. I would have told the front desk "If your not going to do anything about this then I guess I will have to call the police myself" A bit extreme but I don't put up with Sh*t.

Inappropriate behavior by female employee
Posted by
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI -- My husband and spent 3 nights at Residence Inn, Westport area. There is a female named Jackie that has come on to my husband and in appropriately touched him. She makes a conspicuous point to put herself directly in front of him each time she is on duty. I find this to be unprofessional and unacceptable. I ask that you take care of the matter. She is extremely rude to me while hitting on my husband. I am an older woman and I am not used to being disrespected. Thank you

Is this a hotel or daycare
Posted by
This hotels staff had their children behind the desk. I could barely hear what they were saying over the Childrens crying. Then later that evening there was a cookout and the staff was drinking. Really? Is this a hotel or someones house? Also I watched the driver leave from the party drinking to taking guests in the shuttle. I will never go back to this hole again.

My hotel manager and her husband, who was the hotel maintenance man, lived in the hotel in a one bedroom apt. located through a door behind the front desk. It is not uncommon for owners or managers to live on the premises. Drinking and transporting guests is another story and one you may want to pass on to the corporate office.

Residence Inn San Jose Ca. During our stay the first day the fire alarms and bells went off, due to a negligent employee and we were forced to evacuate for a lengthy time. On our second night in the morning the fire alarms and bells went off again and we were forced to evacuate due to another employee error of improperly using chlorine in the pool area. AFTER 15 FIRE TRUCKS,EMS AND POLICE CARS. We evacuated alright, permanently. No one can get any rest, any work, any meetings at all because they cannot figure out that we are not in SCHOOL DRILLS. We are paying for a service. These fire alarms and evacuations are there for a true emergency and not for negligent employees at our expense. Needless to say we have found other accommodations where they KNOW what they are doing.

Residence Inn-Paducah, KY
Posted by
PADUCAH, KENTUCKY -- Be very careful when booking reservations to this hotel. Despite having a confirmed reservation, your reservation could be cancelled due to the facility allowing exisiting patrons to extend their stay despite their 'sold out' status. In my 10+ years of traveling for business, I have never had a hotel do this to me. My reservation was cancelled on the day of my check-in when I had already arrived to my destination. The other name-brand hotels in the area were sold-out so the Residence Inn booked me a reservation at a non-name brand hotel for my stay. The hotel booked reservation was not the same type of accommodations reserved at the Residence Inn. When Marriott Rewards contacted for assistance, was told that since I was the only one of four persons checking in that day that did not hold 'Platinum' status, I was chosen as the one patron to be chosen to have their reservation cancelled. Whenever I have attempted to extend a stay at a hotel that is in 'sold out' status, I have been told that there are no rooms available and I would be unable to extend my stay. Not the case with this facility. Be very careful when you book a reservation at this hotel as you may find yourself without a reservation upon your arrival!

Hold on to your credit card
Posted by
Watch out for these guys, don't give them your credit card, just pay in cash the security deposit. Went there for a company trip that company paid for, they charged my card twice for the entire 2 week stay, plus 2 other mystery charges they know nothing about. I reported fraud on my card, still trying to recover funds

As convenient as the world of technology has become, I still prefer to pay cash in most instances. I don't mind paying an extra $50-$100 cash deposit(which I always get back) when I pay cash for a hotel room, as opposed to holding it with my card. With the scammers and dishonesty in the world today, it's not worth the risk.
Anonymous on 06/12/2010:
I just stayed in a Residence Inn, and I have no complaints.
But yeah, cash is king.
Skye on 06/12/2010:
I also believe in cash. They always want a credit card on file, for incidentials as they say. You know, in case you take a pillow home, they can bill you for it. Seriously, if they are billing you for something, then they have on file what you are being billed for. It's not a big mystery, as they would like you to think. Billing your card twice for the stay, that is an error they need to fix, and credit that amount back to your card. Contact your credit card company's dispute department, regarding the mystery charges. You may also want cancel that credit card number, and ask for a new credit card, with a new number, expiration date and security code. Let your credit card company know you are waiting for the extra money they billed for the room. If you decide to have a new card issued, find what happens with the credit you are waiting for. If I am not mistaken, the amount can only be credited to the original credit card that they billed. Again, consult with your credit card company's dispute department, to find out what would be the best method for you, at this point.

Bed bugs in room
Posted by
GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA -- I stayed at the Marriott residence Inn in Greensboro North Carolina and the first night I was there I noticed three itchy red spots on my leg when I awoke the next morning . I assumed that they were spider bites because they were sore and itchy . The next night I stayed at my sisters house in ashboro and did not notice any new bites . The next day I returned to my room to shower , change clothes , and have an afternoon nap . When I awoke I noticed more bites on my other leg , back and arm . I then informed the manager at the front desk . He informed me that he would send someone in to spray for bugs . No one ever showed up . That night I slept at the hotel again . When I woke up I noticed even more bites on my scalp , legs , buttox and waist . I immeadiately informed the front desk , but the lady said there was no way it could have happened there . She said I should go to the hospital and get treated . I insisted on changing rooms . 175 dollars later (E.R. visit ) I have made up my mind that I did not pay all that money to be bitten by bugs so I am going to demand a refund for the entire stay plus the hospital bill . My sister works in an attorneys office so if they do not refund my money I will take legal action . I have plenty of video documentation as well as the hospital bill so I guess we'll see what happens .

well in case you folks don't get it rooms do not get rented purposely with bugs in them nor is it an oversite which can be easily caught by the staff.

Great Management
Posted by
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- We have stayed at the Residence Inn on Dallas St. in Houston, TX a few times. Our last experience was in January 2006. We had to leave for an early flight and went to bed around 10:00 pm. The folks in the next room to ours had friends that kept banging on their room constantly. My husband complained to management, but the noise did not stop. On the second complaint, the manager told my husband that security had been in the hallway but had not seen anyone banging on the room and they offered to send security again. The second time security came up, they saw people in the hallway making noise and they told them that this was not allowed-it was either, be quiet or leave. All noise stopped after this episode. The next morning along with our bill was a note explaining that we were not charged for the last night due to "a noise problem".

The Instructor quickly answered my questions. I was truly able to maximize my learning.
Rich Blum teaches in a clear and concise style. I learned a lot from this class and my questions were answered promptly.
I enjoyed this class and plan to continue learning more about Ruby on Rails. The instructor did a good job of maintaining my interest in the subject matter.
This was a great course! In underestimated the content. It introduced many elements of web programming technology. Professor Blum's teaching is so easy to follow; his curriculum is challenging, informative, and comprehensive. Thank you!
This course was exactly what I was looking for. A nice intro to Ruby Programming and I felt it covered the basics very well. It exposed to a broad range of features. Great course!
Excellent course! The instructor was flexible; providing rails 3 version. My hats off to instructor! Thank you and well done!
I have taken several ed2go courses and this one was the best. Mr. Blum is a great instructor and Ruby on Rails rocks!
The instructor was very knowledgeable, helpful and always available in the discussion area. He was able to answer questions from basic to advanced or provide web sites to assist when needed.
The instructor was knowledgeable and answered my questions thoroughly and promptly. I enjoyed the course.
This was my first course through ed2go and by far, the most comprehensive and useful for learning a new programming language! I felt I was given just the right amount of information to understand Ruby on Rails and then go do further research on my own. Awesome course!

I was in the toilet and missed Maxi's goal
I was in the toilet and missed Maxi's goal
Maxi's was indeed the greatest strike and probably goal of the tournament. Joe Cole's was damn impressive as was Gerrard's. The very first goal of the tournament from Lahm should be up there but it looked a bit more of a fluke than the other ones.
There have been some insane team goal's as mentioned previously. Spain's fourth against Ukraine by Torres and the second Argentine goal against Serbia are both better than Cole's strike IMO.
That's still more important business than Maxi's goal !!Originally Posted by steds
Maxi Rodriguez's goal was absolutely brilliant , IMO not dissimilar to the famous Ronaldinho goal that found the net beating David Seaman, in terms of quality !!
Cobblers. Maxi meant his. The buck-toothed client's fluke was nothing more than an ale-house punt.Originally Posted by JASON

I take your point about tedium.
Rooney is totally isolated up front and England appear to view the use of a 'diamond' midfield as an invitation to completely bypass any creativity there is in the side by continually punting hopeful seventy yard passes upfield at the same time as Rooney is actualy coming back into midfield to try to get a touch of the ball.
