AARC is a Partner in the Year of the Lung initiative. We have joined in a movement with other pulmonary organizations around the world in one mission: to educate and promote lung care initiatives.
A press release written by the AARC and sent out by your state society quoting AARC members in your state on air quality issues.
Press Release
AARC's "Year of the Lung" Press Release Project
International respiratory organizations, including the AARC, American Thoracic Society and American College of Chest Physicians , have banded together to declare 2010 the Year of the Lung (YOL).
As a partner in the YOL campaign, the AARC is planning a number of awareness activities over this year. In order to get the state societies involved, we've written four press releases that we would like each of you to distribute to newspapers in your state . The four releases are:
Each of the press releases includes quotes, and we would like you to select members from various cities in your state to attribute the quotes to. If your members would like to alter the standard quotes in the releases, they may feel free to do so.
Attributing the quotes to members from specific cities/areas in your state will increase the chances of publication, because newspapers like to publish stories quoting people who live and work in their own communities.
Here are 3 easy steps to follow when preparing and releasing these press releases to newspapers in your state:
Step 1 —
Step 2 —
Step 3 —
Here is the timetable for releasing the press releases:
Thanks for taking part in the AARC YOL Press Release Project.

The Baseline Trailhead is part of the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway, and is located at 4255 S.E. 58th Avenue in Ocala Florida. This is a five mile multiuse trail that is every bit as scenic as any trail in the state. There are a total of five access points at the Baseline Trailhead.
1-Baseline Trailhead (parking available)
2-Teak Way Access (no parking available)
3-Pecan Pass Access (no parking available))
4-S.E. 64th Avenue Road Access (parking available)
5-Banyan Road Access (parking available)
My first visit here was 3-1-12, and my second visit was 11-28-12. It was a long drive from Sarasota. 313 miles total. But I would do it again anytime. This trail was incredible and far exceeded my expectations. The scenery was magnificent and the many twists and turns makes this a really fun place for biking. Marion County has done an incredible job at making this a fantastic place to bike. Expect to see lots of young pine trees here at the beginning section of the trail. All very green and beautiful. Then it will branch off into the taller and older pine trees. Then the woods gets very sparse, pine needles thick on the ground, with lots of primitive trails everywhere that invite a closer look for exploring. Also the elevation is varied here with most being down hill. That I really liked. There is no water along the trail. But most the trailheads have portable toilets.
I really love this trail. Even though it is not very long, many will bike it 2-3 times on their visit, and not get tired of it at all. Plus the wooded sections at the Ship Canal Trail will offer you a chance to hike and explore the incredibly scenic and beautiful trails. With lots of clearing among the pine trees, many cannot resist stopping their bikes to investigate further. And all the people I saw and met were very friendly. Another bonus is free parking here. No fee? That's right no fee. Very unusual for sure. A large playground area is here along with many picnic shelters and tables. Also a large pavilion with rest rooms (however these were locked on my visit but portable toilets were available) The parking area at the Baseline Trailhead is huge. No problem finding a spot. So visit and ride the Baseline Trail soon. I highly recommend it. More than a two thumbs up rating for sure.
Many people probably do not know or have heard of the interesting history of the Florida Barge Canal. So here is the short version. The federal government in the early 1900′s wanted to cut a massive slice through the state of Florida so ships and barges could travel between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. So between 1909-1913 the Army Corp of Engineers worked on this project. They determined a canal would have no value. But politicians wanted it anyway. Finally in 1935 President Roosevelt gave money and authorization to start building. The canal was to be 171 miles long, 30 feet deep, and 250 feet wide. However in 1936 Congress defunded the project.
In 1964 President Johnson green lighted building the canal. Then in 1970 funding was cut 50% due to the Vietnam war. After serious concern about the damage to the environment by many people and groups in 69-70, in January 1971 a U.S. District Court halted the project. Four days later President Nixon sided with the court. About 28% of the canal was completed, with the land and environment finally being spared from massive destruction. Evidence of this project can still be seen today with four large columns still standing and visible in Ocala Florida.
Stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. Johns River, the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway occupies much of the land formerly known as the Cross Florida Barge Canal. This 110-mile corridor encompasses a variety of natural habitats and offers an array of trails and recreation areas where visitors can experience Florida's premier greenway.
The Baseline Road Trailhead provides access to a paved trail. It offers restrooms, potable water, a picnic pavilion, wheelchair access, and plenty of parking.The paved trail is situated along former pastures that are currently being restored to original longleaf pine sandhill community.

After being charged with battery, the former 'Scandal' star has filmed and released a video of his wife allegedly accosting a female friend, in an attempt to show that she was the violent one in the relationship. Read on to watch the disturbing clip.
Columbus Short's alleged assault saga with his estranged wife, Tanee McCall-Short, has just become more shocking and more perplexing. Tanee got a restraining order on Columbus after he allegedly threatening to kill her in February, but now he's trying to prove that she was more violent than him.
Columbus Short: Wife Fights Female Friend On Video
The former Scandal star allegedly shot a video of Tanee assaulting his female friend, Tilley Key, on Feb. 19, according to TMZ (See the video here).
The brawl occurred the day after Columbus was arrested for domestic violence for an incident at his house. After Columbus was bailed out of jail, Tilly reportedly came to his and Tanee's house to pick him up, and was then attacked by Tanee.
The video apparently shows the tail end of the altercation, with Tanee pinning down Tilley and even spitting on her. Tilley, who allegedly asked TMZ to post the video, says she suffered a concussion, cervical sprain, multiple contusions, a lumbar sprain and a lumbar strain from the fight.
Columbus Short's Wife Files Restraining Order
While this video does add to the twisted nature of Columbus' feud with Tanee, it doesn't absolve him. The actor was arrested after Tanee accused him of pouring wine all over her and threatening to kill her if she lied to him. Tanee claimed that Columbus held a knife to her throat as he accused her of cheating on him with multiple men.
After the incident, Tanee filed for a divorce as well as a restraining order that forced Columbus out of their house. Additionally, the actor was fired from his role on Scandal.
We really don't know what to think about this newly revealed video, but it seems clear that both Columbus and Tanee need to stay away from each other.

Wesleyan improved to 5-0 all-time vs. SUNY Maritime by scoring the game's opening five goals, then adding the final 13 tallies in rolling to an 18-1 decision Wed., March 20. Wesleyan, now 4-1 on the season, returned to action Sat., March 23 in a pivotal NESCAC matchup at Middlebury, ranked 14th nationally and second in New England. Wesleyan is ranked sixth in the region. The game came right down to the wire with Middlebury scoring the deciding goal with 1:03 remaining to secure a 7-6 win.
David Murphy '15 assisted on three of Wesleyan first six goals and finished the game with five points on a goal and four assists vs. Maritime. The Cardinals led, 6-1, after the first quarter and carried a 12-1 margin into halftime. It was 15-1 through three periods en route to the 18-1 final. Matt Prezioso '15 (photo insert upper left) and Remy Lieberman '14 (#13, photo insert lower left) both had a hat trick for Wesleyan while Nate Ryan '15 and Greg Pietroforte '16 both added a pair of markers. Wesleyan had eight other single goal scorers and collected 13 assists as a team. Mike Giambanco '14 chipped in with a goal and two helpers.
Maritime picked up its loan goal with 3:00 left in the first period. Starting goalie Mark Simmons '14 played the bulk of the first half, picking up four saves. JD Dieterich '13 played the final 32 minutes and also had four stops. Wesleyan generated a 58-17 margin in shots and had a 46-25 edge in ground balls, led by Mike Robinson '13 (#1, main photo) with seven. Robinson also had a game-high four caused turnovers. The Cardinals enjoyed 14 faceoff wins to nine by the Privateers.
At Middlebury, Wesleyan never led but came back to tie the game five time. The only two-goal lead for the Panthers came at 6:01 of the third period. Wesleyan scored its only back-to-back goals of the contest at 2:26, then at 14:00 of the fourth period to knot the count, 5-5. Prezioso got his second tally of the game to make it 5-4, as he took a pass from Murphy and put home his ninth of the year. When Aidan Daniell '14 turned Giambanco's pass during a man-up chance into a low shot from 15 yards out on the right, he netted his eighth marker of the year.
Again, the Panthers got the edge three minutes later, but the Cardinals responded as Lieberman corraled a pass from Sam Stanton '13 after Stanton got the grounder off a rebound of a Ryan shot, and tucked it in from close in front at 4:38 to make it a 6-6 game. Then while trying to kill off one of many penalties called against it in the contest, Wesleyan lost control of the ball near midfield, and it resulted in a Middlebury fast-break and a man-advantage goal at 1:03. Wesleyan had killed off nine short-handed situations prior, including a two-man-down situation for a full minute in the first period and another 40 seconds of two-man down in the third quarter. Middlebury had just two penalties called in the game. Middlebury controlled the ensuing faceoff and Wesleyan never had another chance on attack.
Simmons was a standout in goal, making 15 saves. Dieterich had to play a little over a minute when Simmons sustained penalties and the defense did a great job preventing the Panthers from launching a shot on goal. One of those was the one-minute, two-man-down predicament.
Up next for the squad is a trip to Amherst Wed., March 27, where the Cardinals can clinch their seventh outright Little Three crown in the last 13 years. On four of the other six occasions, Wesleyan shared the title in a three-way tie.

Top Local Tips for Ixtapa Zihuatanejo
Casa Que Canta Reserve a table at Casa Que Canta half an hour before sunset. The view is magnificent. This restaurant is expensive for Mexico, but the food and service were fantastic.
Instant cultural immersion Taking the bus from Playa Ropa to Z costs 50 cents and gives you a chance to check out the town at a leisurely pace and soak up the way folks live. It's the reason you go to a foreign country in the first place and it's a bargain.
Las Brisas Ixtapa Beach The beach that is accessed via Las Brisas Ixtapa Hotel is absolutely beautiful. We spent the last day of our stay there, and there are great chairs and the usual superb bar servers, along with a fresh shower on concrete and umbrellas. The waves are very big, so I wouldn't recommend this place for young kids - we found ourselves 150 feet apart after one big wave! The cool thing about it is that you can see the small fish in the waves just before they crash over you, which is an experience neither of us will ever forget. There are pelicans that dive to get fish in the early morning, which is kind of cool too. We loved our time spent at this beach and wish we had found it sooner!

Hemorrhagic Bleeding
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 11-20-2012 - 4:13pm
I got a BFP on a HPT a little over 2 weeks ago and had great betas after that. This past Sunday (5w4d) I was having some cramping and then when I stood up after a short drive I felt a gush. I ran into the bathroom and blood poured into the toilet.
I'm very lucky that my mom is an ultrasound tech and she was able to do an ultrasound right away. We were all shocked to see that the ultrasound looked perfectly normal. We were not able to see a heartbeat but my mom did not expect to this early. The bleeding stopped completely after about 2 hours and I have not had anymore since and have been on bedrest since.
My question is, has anyone else had this? What was the outcome? Does anyone know the cause?
My mom agreed to do another ultrasound on Friday and I have a follow up ultrasound with my IVF dr on Monday. We are hoping to see a heartbeat and all of this will come down to one horrible day and nothing more.
|Wed, 11-21-2012 - 11:29am
I've heard of this happening to others, Rachael, I think it's a very good sign that you haven't had any bleeding since. Sending you lots of P&PTs, please keep us posted.
|Wed, 11-21-2012 - 11:34am
Sorry for the bleeding, I know it's super scary after all you've been through to get here. Bleeding in the 1st trimester is very common, like in about 25% of naturally conceived pregnancies and even higher percentages in IVF pregnancies. I've see a lot of people on this board report this type of bleeding and everything turns out just fine. As an extra precaution I'd try to put your feet up as much as you can and stay very hydrated until everything can be checked out by your doc on Monday. Please keep us posted, good luck!!!
|Sun, 11-25-2012 - 3:27pm
|Mon, 11-26-2012 - 5:45pm
Jamie- Thank you so much for letting me know about the chance of bleeding again. I had not heard this before and I would defenitly have been upset to see more bleeding not knowing.
I had an ultrasound on Thanksgiving (yay for moms who are ultrasound techs!) and another one today with my RE. Both ultrasounds look good with bmps of 119 and 123 respectively. My only concern is that the baby is measuring 6w1d when I am 6w5d. The doctor was not overly concerned, but I was hoping for a perfect ultrasound today. I know my son measured a few days behind at first but quickly caught up.
Does 4 days seem like a lot?
|Mon, 11-26-2012 - 11:03pm
Happy everything is looking good!!! My RE and OB said that measuring within a week is totally normal. This early on a measurement is so hard to take. If it's off my even 1mm it makes a huge difference in dating the pregnancy. Strong heart beats are all you can hope for at this point and it sounds like you have two of those =)

Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel Hell on Earth
Posted by
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- My 4th Goal in life is to Bash the Stratosphere hotel for at least 2yrs, Their location is horrible. It's far from the strip and they give you a view of the mountain which isn't anything like having a strip view. Their customer service is a 0 because it is the worst I have ever experienced. Their check-in representative Anwar is rude. I believe the managers, Kheli and Sarah, got their Hospitality/Hotel Management degree, if they have one, from D. F.N. S (Don't F-ing Know Sh*t) University. Here is how I came to that conclusion. We got to the hotel around 1:30pm to check in. The young lady at the desk said "Check-in isn't until around 3, but we can get you started so all you have to do is come back and get your keys at 3pm". Then we asked if there is early check-in. She said, "we do offer that but the room isn't ready yet". So we said OK and checked our bags at the bell desk. We gambled and ate at the Roxy Diner and around 3:23 we went to pick up our keys. Anwar greeted us and I told him I was there to pick up my keys. He looked up my info and said my room wasn't ready. I asked what do you mean it's not ready. He said housekeeping hadn't cleaned the room yet. I asked him when the room would be ready and he told me he doesn't know. So I asked him if he could call housekeeping and find out what time or an estimate of what time my room would be ready. He had the nerve to tell me he isn't housekeeping, which pissed me off. How dare he insult my intelligence. I knew he was not housekeeping. I was just asking if he could call housekeeping so I would know when my room would be ready. I wasn't asking for anything that was beyond his ability. I had just gotten off a 6hr flight. At this point, I was livid. So I asked to speak to a manager. The manager Kheli comes and she has an attitude like I interrupted her from watching Desperate Housewives or something. I explained to her that I understood the room wasn't ready, but I was asking them to call housekeeping and find out when it would be. She then tried to give me a room on a lower floor. I said no I want the room on the higher floor. I said please, just find out when the room will be ready. She also found this hard to do. At this point, I walked away because I was at a new level of lividness. I was ready to leave the Stratosphere. My friend stayed and talked to them. They told her that check in of 3 pm was for normal rooms not suites. It is very interesting that since we decided to get a suite and give their hotel more money than other guest, we had to wait. They finally decided to call housekeeping. They told us our room would be ready in a half a hour. So around 4:23, more than a half hour later, we returned. Imagine our reaction when the young lady at the desk said that our room still wasn't ready. After seeing our reaction, she said she would check with housekeeping to see if the room was in fact ready. It's funny how she offered to check with housekeeping so easily. She came back about 8 - 10 minutes later to tell us the room still wasn't ready. I was done. I asked for the corporate number because we were leaving. This was ridiculous. On their website, they state "Soak up the excitement of Sin City at the Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, where you'll get the VIP treatment, plus a whole lot more." What excitement? What V. I.P treatment? Is that why the hotel was on the brick of bankruptcy like 2 or 3 years ago? She said hold on let me get the manager's card. She came back 4 minutes later and said our room was available, interesting. She said our room will be 42015. I asked what happened to 41715. She said it wasn't ready and that the rooms are the same so we took it. So we finally got to the room and it smelled like the toilet had over flowed onto the carpet. We called housekeeping and they sprayed the room. But at this point, it's like what the hell. After a 6hr flight and 4 1/2 hours of waiting to get into a room, we get a smelly room. At this point, we had already spoken to Tim the director of customer excellence. He offered to comp our resort fee which was $7.50 per day so that would have been $45. Please, that is like an hour and quarter pay for me, they wasted an hour and a half my vacation. On top of that, they gave me a headache with their stupidity and rudeness. So I asked Tim for an upgrade. He said we would have to speak to Sarah, the hotel manager. My friend then asked Tim if Sarah would help us or was she going to waste our time, because we already wasted most of our day. He said she is the manager and will work with us. When Sarah called she offered to have our room changed because of the smell but she told us there would not be a room available until the next day. What happened to 41715? We then asked about an upgrade for our trouble. She said there wasn't an upgrade from the room we had. At that point, we knew it was time to leave. We asked about the cancellation policy and Sarah said that would be fine we would just pay for the one night. We asked if we wanted to leave today, could we get our money back. She said we would need to check out now. Then we said we would need more time than that to find another hotel. She then said she would give us 15 minutes. We said well it is only fitting that you give us an hour and a half because we gave you an hour and a half of our time. Sarah proceeded to say she would give us a hour because she needed the room for another guest. Sarah then said word for word "Am going to need you to get out" with a tone that said get the F out. We all sat their quietly for like 5 sec in a breath shock like WHAT! That was the final straw. So we finished our search for another hotel, packed our bags, called Tim and left him a message saying we were leaving and that I would be calling their corporate office. So now we're at our new hotel and I get a text from my card showing a charge for $1147.89 by Stratosphere. I left the hotel and they are still finding ways to piss me off. I called them to ask why they charged my card when the check in lady said that nothing was going to be charged to my card. Sarah called me back to say they removed the hold on my card. I informed her that I left my camera charger and batteries at the hotel and she said she would send someone to get it and hold it for me because the room was still empty, interesting. And the stress didn't stop there, when I went to get my charger they couldn't figure out where they put it. So after a hour of waiting, after I had call and said I was on my way I had to make another trip to the Stratosphere the next day to get it. Now I am trying to get the shuttle money we paid to get there and compensation for the stress and hell they put us through, reminding me that there is truly hell on earth.

its quite a novel you write but its extremely common in the hotel business. I do tours for a living and what you went through is sometimes the reality of large hotels. Stratosphere is on the strip but what used to be the 'heart' of the strip has moved quite aways the other direction.
goduke on 05/05/2010:
All of this over having to wait a bit of extra time for a hotel room? Really? I frequently go to Vegas. It' always a long flight from the east coast. I frequently get there early in the day before rooms are available. I check my luggage, go have some fun, and come back later. It's a vacation! Relax. There's plenty to do.
And, let's be honest, we're talkinga bout the Start here. It is one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, properties on the strip. The suite probably cost you $150 a night. You're not going to get Caesar's Palace service at the Stratosphere.
Weedwhacked on 05/05/2010:
Did you think the Stratosphere was on the strip?
goduke on 05/05/2010:
It technically is on the strip, just on the far north end of Las Vegas Blvd. And they actually do have rooms which look out over the strip. Costs a bit more than the mountain view. I'm kind of odd, though. In the mornings in LV I kind of enjoy seeing the sun hit the mountains.
Anonymous on 05/05/2010:
Goduke, I don't think that's odd, I think that's nice :)
Ben There on 05/05/2010:
The Stratosphere is on the strip, it is just much farther north past the other cheap Strip hotels like Circus Circus and the Riviera. If you ever search for Las Vegas strip hotels, the Stratosphere can be had for $20-$30 a night during the week.
Anonymous on 05/05/2010:
I have frequented Las Vegas on a few occasions, and the one endearing lesson with it, and all walks of life, is that you get exactly what you pay for. Stratosphere is on the very edge of the strip. It is NOT one of the premiere hotels that you can expect be waited on hand and foot. Do yourself a favor next time and research a little bit. Take the time to read the traveler's reviews on Travelocity, Expedia, etc...you'll find that they say it's an average place to stay for the money. Many even noting the dinginess of the joint. Some actually like it. That's for you to decide. But too often, people get this preconceived notion that when they check into ANY hotel in Vegas that they're going to get the Ocean's 11 treatment. Sorry, that's just movie and fantasy bulls***. Yes, it's a travesty that your room wasn't ready, no where even near the time frame it was supposed to be, to that we'll agree. But you had a hint of condescending attitude in your Moby Dick novel, stating that they only offered you 1&1/4 of "your" pay as compensation. I was with you at the beginning of your story, but when you started copping the attitude that you were entitled and better than the average person, you lost me. Arguably, you were tired from your flight, but a smile and a warm personality will get you a lot farther in life.

Last time I was in Vegas my room at Caesars was not ready till 5pm, so I checked my bags and went and did something else... This can happy at almost any Vegas hotel... Also, the lines tend to be horrendous if you want to check in at 3pm.

I guess you just have to wonder if it's worth all of the negative energy. By the time you've barked at the desk a few times, got yourself wound up, re-packed, found another hotel, unpacked, and missed several rounds of drinks, you've built up such a well of emotion that you're going to re-visit it all through the trip. Better to just deal with it, have a big girl drink, and find a way to spend some additional time. I'd vote for going on the skyjump.

Leonna you write one heck of a review. This write-up is just awesome. I laughed, I cried, I sighed and wrinkled my forehead. You're my kind of people. Don't take crap from no one!

Stew, I often wonder if some mornings you awake to the rest of the world with the sole intention of going out on a trek to find the largest possible stick with which to stir the pot of controversy. If for no other reason than to get a rise out of the M3C community.
Anonymous on 05/05/2010:
J4A, It get's a rise out of the my3cents community because I praise a review? A very clever and well written review that details a very valid complaint. Really? That's interesting.
Now I don't know about all that but I can tell ya one thing I don't do though is attempt to marginalize a member's comments by assigning a motive to that comment. I figure people just post their opinions or what's on their mind and leave it at that.

LOL you guys are too funny, @stew thx, and for everyone else, we had no issue with the hotel we re-booked our room with, got there, check in, no wait, no issue for the whole stay (6 nights). Also the wait wouldn't have been a big deal if they had just did their job and get house keeping to clean the room. I am pissed because they didn't want to do their job, the same job that they are getting paid for. As a customer I expect something of you because of your job title if you can't do that, then your services are of no used to me. Same thing when I went to get my charger, no one wanted to follow their job description. Bottom line
jktshff1 on 05/06/2010:
Great review.
Jim on 03/28/2013:
The hotel is this way like most so called resorts because the management treats there employees like slaves. If you want to find hell on earth, go to work for just about any hotel or resort chain and you will understand what I am talking about. P.S. none have health care so expect to get very ill after your lovely stay, enjoy the bed bugs as well.

Guests Are Not Important Here
Posted by
Southern Gentleman
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Let me start out by saying that many of these "Problems" are probably due to my being spoiled by hotels across the country that seem to want guests to come back and stay with them again. I got the distinct impression that the folks at the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas really doesn't care if guests are not comfortable and never come back. Many of you reading this may think that I expected too much, and maybe I did.
My problems began before we left home and I discovered that the hotel will not guarantee a non-smoking room. My vacation "package" was done through AAA and I made sure to tell the lady at AAA that I needed a non-smoking room. After I received my packet in the mail I discovered that the hotel will make a room assignment only at the point of check-in and if a non-smoking room is not available, a smoking one is assigned. Having been diagnosed with emphysema several years ago, that would be a real problem for me. AAA told me that standard practice in Las Vegas was for hotels not to guarantee non-smoking rooms during the reservation process. We considered cancelling the trip but decided to go anyway and take our chances. All of the anxiety was for naught anyway because we were assigned a non-smoking room upon our check-in. Thank goodness because we had to walk all the way through the casino to get to the registration desk and the smoke in there was so thick you could almost cut it with a knife.
I was very disappointed to learn that there was no coffee maker or coffee in the room, nor was there a safe or refrigerator.
We found a dirty washcloth hanging in the bathroom and no soap at all. There WERE however, pubic hairs in the tub.
The next morning at 7 AM a noise that sounded like a freight train came from the hallway. I went out to see what it was and there was someone with a really big vacuum cleaning the carpet. An hour later (at 8 AM) sirens went off and the loudspeakers announced that it was a "security test". I really doubt that they need to do those loud things so early in the morning.
There was an escalator to the second floor where there was a McDonald's but that escalator was out of service the entire time we were there. That was just as well because it is a terrible McDonalds with slow, rude employees.
I think the single biggest problem I had was that they allow smoking EVERYWHERE! Even in the elevators. If you are a smoker you will love it here but the bottom line is that I definitely do not recommend the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas.

I think anyone traveling to Las Vegas, NV should really think about where they are going. It's nickname is Sin City, and it caters to people's vices. One of which happens to be smoking. If you're not into drinking & smoking, then perhaps a small Native American casino would better suit you. But if you're into partying, loud music, drinking, and LOTS of smoking...Vegas is the place to go. Just don't act surprised when you get there. I hope the rest of your trip was more to your liking though. Thanks for stopping by and submitting a review.
whythelongfaces on 05/13/2012:
I really hope that your next hotel stay does not result in a fire or bomb threat at 8:00AM.
It is Vegas. Loud, rude, and smoky. Even Native American casinos allow smoking.
Anonymous on 05/13/2012:
Not our local Native American Casinos. At least not anymore. They used to 15-20 years ago when they first opened.
whythelongfaces on 05/13/2012:
The Immokalee (sp) Casino in Florida does. Also the Cherokee NC one does. I thought they all did.
trmn8r on 05/13/2012:
From your complaint, I'm not sure you would have had a materially different experience at another hotel. Half the complaint is about smoking, and unfortunately Las Vegas is not as progressive as the rest of the country when it comes to just saying "no" to cancerators.
Churro on 05/14/2012:
FYI, most Marriott branded hotels are 100% non-smoking.
It seems totally bizarre to me in 2012 there are still hotels that allow smoking in the guest rooms. Travelers need to boycot any hotel that allows smoking until they get the message. That's how I roll.
whythelongfaces on 05/14/2012:
In my opinion, travelers should understand that half the world smokes and the other half doesn't, and that neither side can call the shots. I do not smoke, but then, I choose either to not go in places that allow it, or if I do, not to complain about it. I know that I can not always have everything my way, nor should I. I wish more people understood this.
Churro on 05/14/2012:
Less than 20% of Americans smoke. Eh, the 80% that doesn't smoke indeed can call the shots when it comes to smoking if they choose to do so. And they should.
whythelongfaces on 05/14/2012:
Then the 20% of the population are sure riching up the tobacco companies. Regardless, people have a choice to go in or not. I don't waste time complaining about stupid things like not getting my way. I learned as a kid the world does not revolve around me.
Churro on 05/14/2012:
It may be stupid to you but it's not stupid to me or obviously the OP or a lot of other people. This is not about the world revolving around any one person. This is about the free market accommodating their customer base which when it comes to non-smokers is over 80% of the customer base. Either by consumer choice or legislation within 10 years there will be no smoking in any hotel rooms. I would prefer it to be by consumer choice and act accordingly.
whythelongfaces on 05/14/2012:
Maybe stupid is a strong word. Perhaps I should have said needless. I just see no reason to complain about something I have complete control over.
Churro on 05/14/2012:
How is it needless to complain? How else are businesses going to know when they fail a customer? How is it wrong to avoid dimwitted hotels that allow smoking and encourage other non-smokers to do the same? That seems far more powerful than passively taking or refusing what's offered.
whythelongfaces on 05/14/2012:
What about the customers who smoke? Do they not count? Is their money less valuable? Their feelings of disappointment? Yes, the public is catering to the non-smoker. There are no less valid cases of cancer or smoke related illness today than there were in the 70's and 80's when smoking was allowed everywhere.
Like I said. if I do not want to smell smoke, I stay out of casinos or bars. I do not go there then complain about it. If I do not like it, I can leave. I do not have to complain to management about the big bad smoker. I do not make then choose which customer to cater to. I can accept it is not all about me. I accept that smokers have the same rights that I have. The right to come, and go.
Churro on 05/14/2012:
Why should a non-smoker give a fiddler's fart about a smoker. Hotel's that allow smoking are gross. The rooms stink and depending on which scientific study you choose to believe are unhealthy. There's no reason a non-smoker should be subjected to some body else's bad choices and there is no reason why a non-smoking customer should refrain from letting a hotel owner know the reason they are avoiding the hotel. In fact any wise hotel owner would want to know this.
jktshff1 on 05/14/2012:
Churro, you are making sense to me again. Staying away from smoking business is no different than staying away from posted (weapon banning) places.
Just one question, what are they going to tax to make up the losses?
* All States' Average: $1.46 per pack
* federal tax rate for cigarettes on April 1, 2009 $1.01 per pack.
I am an ex smoker.
whythelongfaces on 05/14/2012:
People have the choice to go or not go to a smoking allowed business is my point. But just like women who sue to go to men's clubs, and parents who sue to get their girls on a boy's team etc, there will always be those who can not stand that there is something that excludes them.
Like I said, I personally can accept that something in this world may not be for me. If I do not like who or what goes on somewhere, I do not go there. I do not have to take away someone's enjoyment of something simply because I do not agree with it. That hotel or park or restaurant or whatever is not the only one in the world to choose from.
CowboyFan on 05/14/2012:
I don't smoke, but think businesses should have a choice whether to allow it or not. As DIRM74 said, Las Vegas is sin city. Why is the OP going there, unless they are willing to put up with what happens there. Its like going to Bulgaria and complaining the toilets in the stores are not up to American standards. When in Greece, do as the Greeks do.
Also, from the casino stand point, they are not going to make anyone leave the gambling room to smoke, when the customer can sit right there and lose money continuously.
Finally, in Florida there are a lot of public service announcements about how quickly one who stops smoking can start to recover from the effects of smoking. If it is true for the smoker, then logically, sucking up a little second hand smoke while on vacation is not going to leave a long term effect on you (most of the studies on second hand smoke are people who were exposed for years in contained environments).
SteveWiginowski on 05/14/2012:
While a casino may think about going completely smokeless, the point of a casino is to try to get as many people as they can to come in. If they don't allow smoking, smokers most likely won't stay/play at that casino.
Having a smokeless casino where guests have to go outside to smoke is the opposite effect that they want. They don't want people to step away from the games and take a break.
ToddFord on 05/14/2012:
Thanks for giving the Stratosphere a try. You are right in saying that we shouldn't have had the "security test" on the loudspeakers that early in the morning. We are addressing that issue with the proper departments and we apologize for that occurring. We are glad that you received the room you booked—that's something that we strive to do. Given the complexities of our business, we can't always (but usually do) accommodate that request. We appreciate you taking the time to post a review. It gives us things to work on that will help make Stratosphere a better place to stay in the future.
whythelongfaces on 05/14/2012:
A security test at 8 am is not unreasonable. What if it was a real emergency that early? People going to throw a fit cause your fire interrupted their smoke induced drunken sleep?
Southern Gentleman on 06/03/2012:
whythelongfaces, how dumb is that? I guess you are saying that if it is possible for a fire to occur at 3 AM, the alarm system must be tested at 3 AM. Your comments on this review have been generally disparaging and not at all helpful. Hope your day goes better.
raven2010 on 06/03/2012:
I suspect this was the OP's first trip to Vegas and he was not not aware that smoking there is much like it was in the 70's everywhere else.
I think the complaint about the dirty room is very valid. The security test could have been done at a less disruptive time also!

Blood Stains on Comforter & Mattress Pad
Posted by
NEVADA -- I made a reservation for a spa room, checked early evening,& did not go directly to room.
The morning of 2-24-13 I discovered the blood while looking for bedbugs, I had read a recent review online complaining of bedbugs.
I reported this incident to the front desk & two housekeeping personnel responded. They donned blue rubber gloves & put the linen that I had been sleeping on in red bio hazard bags. The head of security arrived at approx.11am to take my statement.
I was then given a complimentary guest ticket, valued at $50.00 to dine at Mcalls restaurant, At this point I had no appetite. I failed to mention that my mattress was disinfected by housekeeping staff, she used a spray bottle with blue liquid in it. The male housekeeping staff personnel arrived with a cleaning woman & they both cleaned the entire room in front of my partner, the entire day was gone at this point. I am a senior citizen & have traveled a good part of the world and have never encountered anything near this type of deplorable customer service.
The housekeeping staff said that it was obvious that the linens had not been changed after the last person or persons checked out. I have presented to my doctor & have taken a battery of blood tests. The doctor said that I have done the right thing by being screened for diseases that she knows were not present before this exposure.
The hotel did nothing to aid in my mental state, I even reached out to the Vice President on two separate occasions to no avail!!!
I will stay clear of this hotel, as their customers are obviously not their main concern. I recommend that all health conscious people to stay far from this hotel.

I usually check the room when I enter.
Where was the blood?
Old Timer on 03/01/2013:
"Where was the blood?", "I discovered the blood while looking for bedbugs".
We are in Vegas a lot as we have a 2nd place there. The locals won't go near the Stratosphere Hotel to gamble, eat or see the attractions. It is considered the local dump. It is good to see that they did respond in force to their mistake. Will give them a bonus point for that but little else.
trmn8r on 03/01/2013:
It sounds like they did about all they could to respond to this situation, after the fact. It's a good warning for others.
There are some very negative reviews online of this place. Yours adds to that tally.
leet60 on 03/01/2013:
Perhaps I am a bit squeamish. This statement "I had read a recent review online complaining of bedbugs. " caught my attention. Had I read a review of this problem, I would have cancelled the reservation and looked elsewhere for loding.
Obsfucation on 03/01/2013:
I'm a little confused. Presumably you checked for bedbugs BEFORE you slept in the bed, right? That being the case, it sounds like they responded pretty well to a terrible situation. If you didn't sleep in the bed, how were you exposed to anything?
I would have expected the progression to be A. Checked In, B. Checked the bed, C. Found bloodstains and D. Checked out. Inconvenient to be sure, but not life altering.
CrazyRedHead on 03/01/2013:
I don't know if it's just me, but I always check the bed 'before' I get in, regardless of how tired I am, and the same goes for the room. I've heard of how hard they are (bed bugs)to get rid off and I wouldn't want to see them or evidence of them after sleeping there, and the same goes for any blood or bodily fluids in the room. I've been meaning to get a black light the next time just for curiosities sake.
Jeff on 03/01/2013:
None of the comments above actually do anything to HELP the poster. Obviously they found blood in the room.
Lavette brown on 09/06/2014:
worst experience ever... pay for an upgrade when in the room the bathroom was nasty.. call to complain.. the hotel was supposed to credit my account... later found out that the staff put in the report that I decline to have the nasty bathroom clean.. and refuse to change wrong.. this is unheard of.. hotel manager Chris.. said this is normal for people to refuse to have the room clean.. when you first get in the room... don't ever stay at the stratosphere... they need to close it

|Charlotte prepares for Texas road swing
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte women's soccer program will be back on the road in Conference USA action this weekend, when it makes its longest trip of the season to Texas for two contests. The 49ers open the stretch with a 9 p.m. EST Friday start against UTEP in El Paso, Texas, before meeting up with North Texas at 2 p.m. EST Sunday in Denton, Texas.
Charlotte currently locked into a three-way tie for first place in the league's East Division with UAB and Middle Tennessee. The trio has each earned seven points with identical 2-1-1 records through the first two weekends of conference play. The 49ers are 7-4-1 overall entering the venture to the Lone Star State.
Amanda Jones earned the Oct. 7 Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week with her two goals over the weekend, following a score against UTSA and the game-tying goal against Middle Tennessee. She moved back into the team lead with five goals and 12 points, while also topping the squad with 30 shots.
Ten different Niners have tallied scores this fall and 12 have posted assists, led by Maddie Kiebel's three.
Charlotte will be looking to play a complete 90 minutes in each contest, as it has often been the second half when the offense has generated its most action. The 49ers have outscored their opponents 14-to-3 during the second 45 minutes.
UTEP owns a 9-3-2 overall and 2-1-1 C-USA mark, earning a third-place tie in the West Division. The Miners are unbeaten in their last three games. Azia Nicholson paces head coach Kevin Cross' squad with seven goals. Her scoring output and 16 overall points place her third in the overall C-USA statistics.
Jade Babcock leads UTEP with four assists and 36 shots, ranking among the top five in the conference in both categories.
North Texas plays host to UTSA Friday before welcoming the Niners to town. The Mean Green are 7-5-1 overall and 1-2-1 in conference action as the weekend begins. John Hedlund's team dropped a pair of league road contests last weekend at Rice and Colorado College.
Rachel Holden, a two-time Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week, has poured in 10 goals and added an assist for 21 points in her first collegiate season. She has tallied three game winners and placed 25.0 percent of her shots in between the pipes.
Karla Pineda's five assists top the squad, edging out the four by Amber Haggerty. Overall, North Texas has 26 assists on its 30 goals as a team.
This weekend's action will mark the first in the series against either program for the 49ers and the first away contests against West Division foes.
Live video and stats are available for both contests, linked through Charlotte49ers.com. Updates will also be provided on Twitter by following @49erGameDay.

ProShares Launches ETF As Alternative To Hedge Funds
ProShares ®, a premier provider of alternative exchange traded funds (ETFs), today announced the launch of the ProShares Hedge Replication ETF (NYSE: HDG). HDG's benchmark is based on Merrill Lynch's recognized hedge fund replication model. The ETF lists on NYSE Arca today.
HDG seeks to provide the risk/return characteristics of a broad universe of hedge funds without many of the challenges of hedge fund investing. Historically, a broad universe of hedge funds, as measured by the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, has had attractive risk-adjusted returns relative to equities 1 (past performance is not a guarantee of future results). However, there are many deterrents to investing in hedge funds, such as illiquidity, limited transparency and high fees.
"Many portfolios could benefit from the risk/return characteristics of hedge funds, but investors often either can't or don't invest in hedge funds because of a variety of challenges," said Michael L. Sapir, Chairman and CEO of ProShare Advisors LLC, ProShares' investment advisor. "We are pleased to offer an ETF that addresses challenges of hedge fund investing and may be, for many investors, an attractive alternative to hedge funds."
HDG is the third ETF in the Alpha ProShares category. Alpha ProShares are designed to provide advanced investment strategies in an ETF and represent ProShares' further expansion within the alternative ETF space. ProShares introduced its first Alpha ProShares, the ProShares Credit Suisse 130/30 (NYSE: CSM), in July 2009 and its second Alpha ProShares ETF, the ProShares RAFI Long/Short (NYSE: RALS), in December 2010.About HDG's Benchmark HDG seeks to match, before fees and expenses, the performance of the "Merrill Lynch Factor Model ® — Exchange Series" (MLFM-ES). 2 The MLFM-ES was developed by Merrill Lynch, a pioneer and leader in the field of hedge fund replication. The MLFM-ES aims to provide the risk/return characteristics of a broad universe of hedge funds by targeting a high correlation to the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, an equally weighted composite of more than 2,000 constituent hedge funds.

A bipartisan group of US senators has unveiled legislation aimed at increasing pressure on China to let its currency rise in value, threatening stiff trade sanctions if Beijing does not act.
The 14 senators argue that China keeps its currency - the yuan - undervalued against the dollar, making its exports unfairly cheap, hurting the US economy and costing American jobs.
The proposed bill, unveiled on Tuesday, is also aimed at pressing the Obama administration to formally label China a currency manipulator.
The senators' move follows a strong statement at the weekend from Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, that Beijing would resist any foreign pressure for a revaluation of the yuan.
Wen also blamed the US for increased tensions between Washington and Beijing, which have come amid rows over US arms sales to Taiwan, a White House visit by the Dalai Lama and a raft of other disputes.
'Last straw'
Chuck Schumer, a Democratic senator, told reporters at a Washington news conference on Tuesday to unveil the proposed bill that Wen's comments were "the last straw".
"When there's a 20 per cent or 30 per cent undervaluation that reduces the price of a product coming in, that's not fair. That's cheating"
Debbie Stabenow, Democratic Senator
"When Premier Wen said that China's currency is not overvalued two days ago, that was the last straw and here we are to tell them we are going to force you to do it - plain and simple," he said.
"There is no bigger step that we can take to promote job creation here in the US than to confront Chinese currency manipulation."
Debbie Stabenow, a Democratic senator and co-sponsor of the legislation, said China was not playing fair by keeping the yuan fixed at a level below market rates.
"When there's a 20 per cent or 30 per cent undervaluation that reduces the price of a product coming in, that's not fair. That's cheating," she said.
However, a policy briefing released by a United Nations trade agency, also on Tuesday, backed China's position, urging Beijing to reject pressure to allow the yuan to float.
'Currency chaos'
The briefing by the UN Conference and Trade and Development (UNCTAD) defended China as a leader in stimulating domestic demand and the global economy.
UNCTAD argued that market forces have caused "currency chaos" and that international control of exchange rates would be a better course to follow.
Leaving currencies to irrational market forces "will not help rebalance the global economy", and a Chinese move to allow the yuan to float would risk an economic shock akin to the one Japan suffered in the 1990s, it said.
That, in turn, could destabilise the entire world economy.
"Expecting that China will leave its exchange rate to the mercy of totally unreliable markets and risk a Japan-like appreciation shock ignores the importance of its domestic and external stability for the region and for the globe," UNCTAD said.
The unveiling of the proposed US bill comes as politicians in Washington ramp up criticism of China ahead of the November mid-term elections, blaming Chinese policy for the growing US jobless rate.
Sam Brownback, another supporter of the bill, said he expected a "huge vote" both in the House of Representatives and the senate, on the legislation.
This will enable the Obama administration "to do what it needs to do", he said.
Last week Barack Obama, the US president, used a speech in Washington to urge China to help rebalance the global economy by moving towards "a more market-oriented exchange rate".
On Monday, a letter signed by 130 Democratic and Republican members of congress called on the US treasury to brand China a currency manipulator in a report due next month, saying Beijing was in effect subsidising exports.
"The impact of China's currency manipulation on the US economy cannot be overstated," they said in the letter submitted to Timothy Geithner, Obama's treasury secretary.
Speaking on US television on Tuesday, Geithner said China's policy on the yuan was "a very important issue" not only for US-China relations but for all trading partners of the Asian giant, adding that the ball was in Beijing's court.
"I think they'll decide, ultimately, it's in their interests to move," he told Fox Business Television.

2 children killed in house fire
Pregnant mom, 3 other adults seriously injured
PUTNAM — A late-night fire raced through a multifamily home, killing two young siblings, a 6-month-old and a 3-year-old, and injuring their pregnant mother and three other adults.
The roof of the home in Putnam, in northeastern Connecticut, was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived at about 1 a.m. Tuesday, and it later collapsed into the third floor, where the children were, authorities said. The fire wasn't under control until 6:30 a.m.

Seven of us have banded together to create a comic book for kids to show them they can choose to be a superhero in life. All of my fellow authors have devoted our lives to making a difference. This campaign is to create this comic on Kickstarter, a crowdfunding program and you can find it here. If you can find it in your heart to make a contribution (in exchange for a cool prize!), it would mean the world to me and to the kids who will get their hands on this comic.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — A Hillary Rodham Clinton miniseries timed to precede the 2016 presidential election is part of NBC's effort to create "event" programming that will draw viewers to the shrinking world of broadcast network TV, NBC's programming chief said Saturday.
"We need to be in the event business. I think you're going to hear that from every broadcast network," said Bob Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment chairman.
The four-hour miniseries "Hillary," starring Diane Lane as the former first lady and secretary of state, is one such bid for distinctive programming, he said.
The goal is to woo viewers who are increasingly drawn away by cable TV's eye-catching, critically acclaimed fare like "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" and other media choices.
Broadcasting's audience is shrinking by 4 percent to 7 percent annually, Greenblatt told a meeting of the Television Critics Association.
"Anything that can shake up the landscape and say, 'we have something special'" would be considered part of the varied group of event projects, he said.
At NBC, that ranges from the new fall game show "Million Second Quiz" to big-ticket scripted fare including "Hillary" and other projects announced Saturday: "Rosemary's Baby" a four-hour version of the Ira Levin novel that was adapted as a 1968 movie; an adaptation of "Stephen King's Tommyknockers," and "Plymouth," about the Pilgrim's journey and settlement in America.
A six-hour miniseries about Cleopatra is in development, Greenblatt said.
Although Clinton hasn't announced her intention to seek the Democratic nomination for president, Greenblatt spoke as if her candidacy is expected. "Hillary" could air before Clinton announces her decision, but the timing has yet to be determined, Greenblatt said.
He didn't address how such a miniseries, which will track Clinton's life and career from 1998 to the present, might affect the presidential contest.
The part of former President Bill Clinton has yet to be cast. Lane's credits include the feature films "Unfaithful" and "Under the Tuscan Sun" and the TV movie "Cinema Verite."
Other networks seeking to stem audience erosion are jumping on the event bandwagon, especially in light of the success of another King adaptation, CBS' summer series "Under the Dome." Announced plans include a Fox's remake of the "Shogun" miniseries based on James Clavell's novel.
Greenblatt argued that NBC, which finished the last September-to-May season in fourth place in total viewers, is in better shape when the entire year is taken into account, especially among advertiser-favored young adult viewers.
He credited the popular talent contests "The Voice" and "America's Got Talent," as well as dramas "Grimm" and "Hannibal."
NBC has high hopes for the fall sitcom that brings Michael J. Fox back to TV but is prepared for a big tune-in for the debut episode that might not be sustainable, Greenblatt said.

Grant Emery Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings, on July 22, 2009, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, GRANT EMERY, a 26-year-old resident of Billings, appeared for sentencing. EMERY was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 24 months
- Supervised Release: 3 years
EMERY was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to distribution of cocaine.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheila R. Kolar, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On February 19, 2008, EMERY sold 12.2 grams of cocaine to an undercover officer.
On April 24, 2008, EMERY sold 27.2 grams of cocaine to the same undercover officer. The officer was wired both times and videos of the transactions were obtained.
EMERY was later interviewed by agents and voluntarily admitted to selling cocaine on both occasions.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that EMERY will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, EMERY does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Mayor-elect plans to make changes to RPD
Rochester, N.Y. - Incoming mayor Lovely Warren plans to make changes to the Rochester Police Department.
Warren hopes her plans of adding more police sections and a shift in officer's hours will help combat crime.
Its unfortunate and its sad but a lot of times people dont recognize just how bad it is for people in our city, said Warren. Thats why for me understanding who you represent the good, the bad, and the ugly is so very important for how were moving this community forward.
Currently there are two police sections in the city.
Warren wants to increase that to four sections.
City council has already passed in the budget to see how this transition would work, according to Warren.
Having more sections will allow officers to answer lower priority calls quicker, said Warren.
Warren also wants to change shifts to 12 hour days, to save money and give officers more down time.
I think that it gives our officers down time, working three days on four days off gives them time to spend time with their family and be a support at home, said Warren. I think that looking at it from a budgetary stand point the state police did that as well as the city of Ithaca and they were able to save significant dollars, but just not about the savings but I think it really gives people time to come down.
Warren plans to sit down with mayor Tom Richards next Wednesday to talk about the transition.

sofa the Custom Yo!'s or callin my name
i need some softer, shorter, cushy bindings for my hero plz, Cartel EST's are overkill and est does nothin
before you request go to www.dogfunk.com, www.backcountry.com, and www.backcountryoutlet.com to check and see if they have what you want, thats where the products are from, they currently only have the 150 and 159 vapors in stock
and usually there has to be some back and forth between you and sofa, hes pretty cool and since its the off season he usually can do requests, but its not instant
C60's were up today at 12
The vapor come up on here. ps sofa what about dem skullcandy titians
Is SofaKing the guy who calls the shots on brociety.com?
is not usually an immediate thing. It might take a day or two. Keep requesting because it works most of the time. Not sure if sofaking works on saturdays anyways.
ok, got the C60s now how about the Vapor or Supermodel X.
Does posting a request on specific gear even work? Just curious so I can quit looking like a dumb ass if it doesn't.
A Custom X would be ok too.
Burton Vapor 157 or 158 and a pair of CO2 or C60 bindings would be great. Standing by with credit card. I'd hate to have to purchase from Sierrasnowboard.
