Customers with more grandiose goals can upgrade to packages including a limo and lodge option ($620) or—if riding in a long car isn't enough luxury by itself—a helicopter journey ($410), which gives up to three wingless humans a 30-minute sky trip in addition to their land-based transportation.
The experienced crew at A.C.T. Asphalt Specialties has been installing and repairing asphalt and concrete pavements for residential and commercial locales in the Twin Cities for more than 30 years.

UTEP HOOPS: Meet new Miner Earvin Morris
POSTED: Thursday, July 10, 2014 - 6:13pm
UPDATED: Friday, July 11, 2014 - 12:11pm
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — The old saying goes, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." That mantra rings true for one of UTEP's newest basketball players.
Earvin Morris originally signed and played his freshman season at Kent State but after 17 appearences including one start with the Golden Flashes, tranfered to Tallahassee Community College. In his one season of JUCO, the 6-foot-4 guard averaged 14.4 points this season at Tallahassee Community College, shooting 50.5 percent from the field and 46.9 percent from three-point range.
"My first situation, it was hard. But the JUCO route, it was good for me. I was glad that UTEP was calling me and wanted me to come here," said Morris. "It feels amazing. I feel like I took the first chance for granted but I'm just very happy to be back."
"Earvin is a very versatile player who can play different positions and score in a lot of ways," Head Coach Tim Floyd said. "He is a very instinctive passer, has the ability to shoot the three and can create his own shot. He played at a very competitive level in junior college. He can come in and help our team score in a variety of ways. We love his ability to post in addition to being able to face the basket. He has a very nice mid-range game, which is rare in today's game.
"Earvin made tremendous improvement from his freshman year to his sophomore year of college under the direction of coach Eddie Barnes. He displayed a willingness to be coached which translated into a great sophomore season."
Morris will have two years of eligibility with the Miners.

Attorney Mahoney, I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful and excellent job you did for me. You were quite impressive up there and you really did your homework catching her in a few lies from previous testimony. You are the best! Even though I never want to be in this situation again, if I know anyone I will give them your name. Thank Amy for me too! She is a great asset to have in your office! Very pleasant and understanding. Again thank you and go Celtics! Kevin Mahoney recently represented me in a case for destruction of property and disorderly conduct. He was extremely thorough and persistent, and despite a great deal of evidence against me, he managed to get the felony charge dropped without having to go to trial. I had never been in legal trouble before and had no idea how to proceed, and without his counsel, I am sure that I would have gotten convicted. He listened to my specific needs and always acted in my best interest. His knowledge, attention to detail, and general courtroom presence continued to amaze me throughout the entire process. Dear Attorney Mahoney: I wish to express my sincere appreciation for your efforts on my behalf. Your defense was truly outstanding. The court room skills that you demonstrated and legal knowledge were truly incomparable. I'm wishing you the very best in your future endeavors. In addition, I 'm looking forward to viewing the Jello Trial on Court T.V. Let me thank you once again. Attorney Mahoney, Is very knowledgeable and very professional. He has just represented me in a case lasting a year and a half, and he made sure I got a fair trial with a fair jury. He kept me well informed about what would be happening in the court room and always had a well thought out defense for any route of attack the D.A. would be planning on. My trial took 2 and a half days and after the jury deliberated for approximately 23 minutes they came back with a "Not guilty" verdict. I would recommend Attorney Mahoney to anyone I know, but I sure hope I dont need him again. : ) .NS, a DUI client,

Name: Susan Shuryn Title: Efficiencies Branch Lead Agency: Department of the Navy
IT transparency. Shuryn is credited with developing a holistic way for the Navy to achieve some $2 billion in savings and maintain an agencywide focus on strategic goals and objectives. She was instrumental in developing and launching an IT dashboard that tracks efficiencies and cost savings -- a tool Navy CIO Terry Halvorsen said provides transparency critical to ensuring mission success. "There was no model to follow since there had never been a precedent in which $2 billion was taken from the IT budget," Halvorsen said. "Ms. Shuryn's team forged a way forward for others to follow."

Support CASA as a volunteer
Every year, there are millions of abused and neglected children who have become wards of the court. CASA is a program where volunteers are appointed by the court to speak for the child's best interest. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are trained volunteers from our community.
These children are at risk because of their circumstances, i.e., they are abused and/or neglected. The CASA volunteer then provides the judge with factual, researched details about the child to help the judge make an informed decision regarding the child's future. CASA is often the one consistent person throughout the duration of the child's case, providing continuity for the child until the case is permanently resolved.
We always need volunteers for the program as the number of new children assigned to us changes on a monthly basis. There is no special experience or education to become a CASA volunteer. All one needs is a commitment to children and the desire to help.
The American Bar Association, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, and the Office of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the U.S. Department of Justice have endorsed CASA.
Please think of our children and consider becoming a CASA volunteer. For more information, visit our website, www.casaleecarroll.com, or call (815) 288-1901.

As a person, I've learned that some people have no tact. As a mommy, I've learned that it's okay to speak my mind. Maybe I'm just too sensitive, but maybe I'm not assertive enough.
I've known my whole life that sometimes people say really stupid things, not pausing to think before they speak. Sometimes I've made equally ignorant statements, but mostly I've just brushed it off and let the stupid-comment-making-person wallow in their own ignorance. As a mommy, I've often brushed things off because sometimes, it's just not worth responding to ignorance. But sometimes, putting a person in their place is necessary. It's always fascinated me how much more "concerned" people seem to be with other people than with themselves. Yes, this leads back to the advice post a little bit. I'm sure you remember my aunt who got on me about the way I do things with my son and how I snapped on her because I remember stories of her beating her child mercilessly. Why would I listen to someone like that? Why would I sit and take it when I'm being criticized on my parenting? And above all else, why the hell should I feel like I have to defend myself or explain my parenting to someone like her? I have gotten off track (as I usually do, lol), but getting back to the point, some "comments" and "criticisms" have arisen recently that have really gotten on my last nerve. Tonight, at dinner, the hostess said, "He's so cute, how old is he? Like six months?" We told her he was nine months. Her eyes bugged out as she exclaimed, "Wow! Nine months? He's tiny!!!" Ry and I took turns rolling our eyes at each other as she walked away to greet another family. And possibly insult them as well. I'm not sure why that comment even bothered me, but it did. For anyone who has met my son, for a nine-month-old, he is anything but tiny. I guess I was bothered because her statement sounded more like an insult than a comment. Or a judgment even. It's not that I'm bothered by all comments. Our server was loving Franky in all his chubby cuteness. He had a blast tugging on her apron, blinking his eyelashes at her and smiling. She got a kick out of him too, saying "how cute" he was and how "captivating his big brown eyes" were. I love comments like that, because I totally agree =) But I'm his mommy, so I'm biased. Later on at the grocery store, the check-out-lady gushed about how cute Franky was. Once again, I agreed, cuz I'm biased, hehehe. I had an interesting conversation with my dad a few weeks back that really got the wheels turning in my head. My baby sister was 8 lbs 11 oz at birth and 21 1/2 inches long. She was a big girl. People were very quick to comment on how huge she was and how big her feet were and how big her lips were, etc. My step-mom is over six feet tall, so it's no surprise that Baby A is as tall as she is. And there's nothing wrong with her height or weight or feet or mouth. Finally my dad and step-mom got sick of the "compliments" and made a point of telling "complimenters" that they'd appreciate it if the "compliments" were kept simple (i.e. "wow, she's so cute," and not, "God, look how big her feet are.") My dad and step-mom don't want Baby A growing up with a complex about anything because people make silly little comments in her presence, even if they do mean them as "compliments." I don't blame my dad or step-mom one bit for being irritated. How annoying would that be? Someone comes into your home to visit you and your new baby. Rather than ask how you're doing or how the baby is or say how nice it is to finally see each other again, the person immediately gawks down and says, "Oh my, she has huge feet." Nice. Gee, thanks, person. Thanks for loving on my daughter that way. Nope, I don't blame them one bit. It seems like people nowadays have no censor when it comes to saying things about other people's kids. Even if they are only meant harmlessly, wouldn't common sense tell them that some things might be offensive? I love and adore my son in all his chubby glory. And I'm sure that when comments are made about how chubby he is or how big his head is, they are made in a non-offensive way. For me, it depends on who is making the comments. If it's friends or family, then I know it's not meant in a bad way, but when people say stupid stuff who I am not close with, it irritates the hell out of me. Sometimes I feel like saying, "Wow, look at how (insert ignorant comment here) your baby is." See how they'd like it. Why are people so quick to make ignorant comments? Why don't they spend a little more time worrying about their own kid than mine? I used to get so irritated when people made comments about Franky's temperament. To be honest, I think he had colic for the first two months, so he would fuss if he wasn't constantly being held or nursed. People constantly felt the need to comment about how "crabby" or "grumpy" or "unhappy" Franky was. Now that he's a happy baby and barely fusses at all, I constantly get comments about how "good" he's being. But when someone else's kid spazzes out and I make a comment, they get offended. How is that fair? And in my own defense, I hardly EVER make negative comments about other people's kids, because that's just stupid, but I have tested my theory out and the parent almost ALWAYS gets pissed off if I say something about their kid that they either JUST said or HAVE said recently. I don't get it. That's another thing that irritates me, people who are quick to criticize other kids or other parents. And people who only have positive things to say about their own kids. My dad made a great point about that too. He has a great way of putting people in their place without coming off as an asshole. I, unfortunately, don't have that same gift. I always end up coming off as bitchy or pissed off or arrogant, even if I'm not. It kills me when people boast and brag about "how great their kids are," but look down their nose at you because of the way your kid is acting or the way you parent your kid. It makes you wanna say, "Who the hell are you to question my parenting? Or to think that your kid is better than mine?" If you're wondering why I'm not giving specific examples or names, it's because there are none. I'm just generalizing here. I guess my big beef with people is, why spend so much time analyzing another parent or another child when your parenting or your child may not be perfect? The more I think about it, the more I realize that I'm not being too sensitive. Why should I worry about hurting other people's feelings when they have no worries at all about hurting mine? My husband (and mom and sister and dad) have told me time and time again, that I need to just speak my mind when something bugs me instead of keeping it to myself. Obviously, I'm offended for a reason and the offender had no problem offending me, so I should give them the same respect. They are absolutely right. I admire my mom for her honesty and her bluntness. Growing up, she never had a problem telling people not to kiss her baby on the mouth or not to stick your fingers in her baby's mouth or not to hit her kids or not to speak negatively to or about her kids. I always admired that and aspired to be that same way as a mom. For the most part, I've been successful in making my wants known. But I've also realized that not every parent has the same wants as I do. Some parents couldn't care less if you kissed their kid on the mouth or reached your dirty fingers in their kids mouth or scolded their child for doing something they shouldn't be doing. I'm not one of those parents, and unless I make it known, my parenting wants will be violated. I'm respectful of other parents and their kids, even if I don't necessarily agree with the way a person parents their kid. I've been bothered, annoyed, shocked, disturbed, the list goes on, about the way some people are with their kids. But it's not my place to say anything, so I don't. That's what bothers me most about when people have the nerve to question me about the way I parent my child. I just wanna say, "Hey, parent-of-the-year, why don't you spend more time worrying about your own child than worrying about me and mine." What are the lyrics from that one Bob Marley song? Be right back, I'm gonna look them up in the jacket from the CD case (YES, I LOVE Bob Marley, Judge Not!) The lyrics are from a song called "Judge Not," and they go like this: Who are you to judge me And the life that I live? I know that I'm not perfect And that I don't claim to be So before you point your fingers Be sure your hands are clean Judge not Before you judge yourself I love that song, and especially the part in bold. It's so true. I'm not saying that all parents are this way, because they are not. There are many parents I admire, for their parenting and for their etiquette with other people's children. Ry and I visited his cousin recently, whose wife just delivered their second child. Their oldest child is a toddler, and very new to being around other babies the same age or younger. Ry's cousin knows that about his child, so he was careful to keep a watchful eye on his toddler. His toddler and my soon-to-be toddler were fine together. For this post, we'll call Ry's cousin's toddler, "R." She is the cutest and smartest lil girl her age I've ever seen. She speaks full sentences, runs circles around the house, is ridiculously well-behaved and begins to do the dabke (traditional arabic dance) when Arabic music comes on. It's hilarious and so freaking cute to watch. She kept bending down to Franky's level and kissing him. She then got on all fours and crawled around with him. It was so cute watching her "entertain" him, even though she's only seven months older. What I appreciated about "M," "R's" dad, is that he knew his child well enough to be watchful of her when she was around another baby. She was awesome with Franky, but I liked that "M" was a great parent with her. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but "S," the new baby, is soooo effin cute! He's this tiny, perfect lil bundle of cuteness! I told Ry that after meeting "S", I won't make him wait until Franky's two or three to have another baby. I think that once Franky's first birthday passes, we'll still be careful, but I won't freak out if I get pregnant again. Because of my feelings on etiquette with other people's kids, I haven't left my son with anyone besides my hubby, for a long period of time. I know that no one will care for my child better than me or my husband, which is why I am so hesitant to let anyone watch him. And no one, besides my son's Godmother (my sister) has. That's not to say that other people aren't capable, like my mom or dad or my in-law's, but as a SAHM, there has been no reason for me to leave him with anyone yet. Not every parent has the same feelings about leaving their babies places, and that's fine. I don't judge them or criticize them or question them about their choices. It's not my place. What I've learned recently, is that sometimes, when it comes to being a mommy, you have to stand up for yourself over worrying about hurting other people's feelings. There are often disagreements with the way people choose to parent their children and that's fine. I just hate getting questioned or criticized for my choices, when I don't do the same to other people. Have any of you mommies ever felt criticized or like you were being judged for the way you chose to parent your child or for the way your child acted? How did you react? |

Boston testing Soofa phone-charging solar-powered 'smart benches'
Solar-powered "smart benches" able to recharge your smartphones are being rolled out in Boston by Changing Environments. The benches, called Soofas, include a built-in solar panel and two USB ports, and includes Wi-Fi. The chair was introduced during the White House Maker Faire last week, and could quickly find homes throughout major metropolitan areas.
Each bench, which can charge two phones at a time, cost $3,000 and is being described as the first step into "Smart Urban Furniture."
"Your cellphone doesn't just make phone calls, why should our benches just be seats?" said Boston Mayor Martin Walsh. "We are fortunate to have talented entrepreneurs and makers in Boston thinking creatively about sustainability and the next generation of amenities for our residents."

North Korea launches more missiles, raising military tensions further
North Korean president Kim Jong-un's military has been busy as of late, with the country conducting another missile test. This time around, the country launched two missiles which landed in the Sea of Japan off its eastern coast, according to the South Korean government.
The most recent missile test likely involved 30-millimeter shells fired with the country's multiple-rocket launchers. The projectiles have a maximum range of 110 miles, and don't violate UN resolutions that prohibit the country from developing ballistic missiles.
North Korea has conducted three missile tests in the past week, raising political tensions as Chinese president Xi Jinping heads to Seoul to discuss the current situation. China is a longtime North Korea ally, and is a major aid supplier to the impoverished country. The North Korean government offered this advice to China, which has growing ties to South Korea: "Don't forget us, don't sell us out."
Britain to pump millions into industrial robotics research
Britain's Technology Strategy Board is overseeing part of a 400 million pound investment into robotics, in what the plan's authors say could see the United Kingdom leading in robotic research.
"Robots have often been positioned as a thing of the future, but today's strategy-launch emphasises the fact that they are very much of the here and now," Science Minister David Willets said. The Technology Strategy Board will invest cash into certain geographies like Bristol in England and Edinburgh in Scotland, which are already leading the charge in robotics. Any research will join existing technologies such as nuclear plant safety monitors and self driving cars, where the country is already excelling.
Experts told the BBC, however, that the UK is well behind other European nations in the use of industrial robotics. Professor Noel Sharkey from the University of Sheffield said "it's a massive market" and that the country has "already slipped well behind," but added there's a ton of talent in British universities and a lot of potential for further development.
Armed drones keeping U.S. personnel safe in Iraq, US government says
U.S. military personnel on the ground in Iraq to help try to offer guidance to stabilize the country are being protected by armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Both manned and unmanned aircraft have been flying over Iraq, conducting a few dozen reconnaissance trips each day, and drones will now be armed as U.S. boots hit the ground.
There are currently 90 military advisers and 90 intelligence analysis personnel in Iraq, with an additional 120 expected to arrive soon. To help keep the Americans safe, Predator drones with Hellfire missiles are patrolling the skies, in an effort to keep the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) from launching attacks.
"The reason that some of those aircraft are armed is primarily for force protection reasons now that we have introduced into the country some military advisers whose object will be to operate outside the confines of the embassy," said Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, Defense Department press secretary, during a press conference.
Danish, US donors to the rescue as UK faces sperm shortage
The United Kingdom is having to import sperm stocks from abroad due to a serious shortage of donors in Britain, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority has warned.
According to a report from the group, imports make up almost a quarter of donated samples in Britain. It's thought that native donations dropped considerably thanks to the dropping of a clause that would have offered total anonymity to donors in 2005. Back in '05, imports made up just one in ten samples in Britain.
The majority of these are from the United States and Denmark, with the latter country being home to the biggest sperm bank in the world. You can check out the official British government records here, should you want to for any reason.
Scientists create supercooling system to keep organs fresh for days
One of the big challenges when it comes to performing organ transplants is to keep the organ fresh during the trip from the donor to the recipient. If the two live in different part of the country or world, keeping those organs fresh and viable can be difficult. Scientists have devised a new supercooling method that has the potential to keep the organs fresh for days.
Currently organs can only remain fresh and viable for less than 24 hours during transportation. Scientists have developed a new supercooling process that in lab tests has shown to be able to keep a rat liver fresh and viable for three days.
The supercooling technique reportedly connects the organ to a machine that perfuses it with nutrients and cools it so minus 6C. The breakthrough could eventually lead to the ability to share donated organs around the world.
NASA flying saucer ship completes successful test of the coast of Hawa
NASA has been testing out a new spacecraft that will eventually be used on missions to Mars called the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator or LDSD. This spacecraft looks like a flying saucer and inflates something NASA calls a Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator that looks like a large doughnut, but is a pressure vessel that is designed to slow the spacecraft during the first stages of entry into the atmosphere of Mars.
During the test, the spacecraft was lifted from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai using a giant helium filled balloon. Once to an altitude of 36,500 meters, the spacecraft was release and pushed to 55,000 meters at a speed of Mach 4 using a solid fuel thruster.
The inflatable air bags were then deployed to slow the vehicle during decent to Mach 2.5. NASA says that the test went mostly well, but the Supersonic Disk Sail Parachute didn't deploy properly. The spacecraft was recovered along with all the data recorders and vehicle hardware from the waters off the Hawaiian coast.
North Korea fires two ballistic missiles to provoke rivals
Just days after launching three short-range missiles, North Korea followed up with an additional missile test. South Korean military officials believe two short-range Scud ballistic missiles were fired, and the country didn't designate no-sail zones during the launch.
It's not uncommon for North Korea to launch missiles while snubbing Washington and Seoul, as political tensions in Asia continue to mount. The Scud-type missiles launched from Wonsan and flew more than 300 miles, where they landed harmlessly into the ocean, military specialists in South Korea said. It's difficult to determine the true capabilities of the North Korean military, as the country sometimes greatly exaggerates its successes.
The country also plans to indict two Americans currently held in North Korea for "hostile acts," pressuring Washington and Seoul even further. It's a delicate time in the Korean Peninsula - earlier in the year it looked like both sides were willing to openly discuss political tensions - but talks have cooled with Pyongyang and Seoul slinging mud at one another.
United States joins international treaty that bans landmine use
The United States is the latest country to put an end to purchasing and using anti-personnel landmines, with President Barack Obama pressured by other countries to join the international ban treaty. The global treaty includes the production, stockpiling and use of anti-personnel landmines, which reportedly kills 15,000 people each year - and most casualties are civilians.
"Today at a review conference in Maputo, Mozambique, the United States took a step of declaring it will not produce or otherwise acquire any anti-personnel landmines (APL) in the future," said Caitlin Hayden, National Security Council spokeswoman.
However, the U.S. won't immediately get rid of all mines, but administration officials said the arsenal will be scaled down. The U.S. invests the most funds, $2.3 billion since 1993, to aid in global de-mining programs, and has shifted focus towards "smart" mines that will disable after a pre-programmed amount of time.

Scientists plan on breeding bald, heat-resistant chickens
The inevitability of intensifying global warming isn't just a problem for humans - it's a problem for the world's livestock too. Now, to make chickens a little less susceptible to the heat, one team of scientists has started research to breed poultry that are born bald.
Carl Schmidt, a geneticist at the University of Delaware, is embarking on a mission to Uganda and Brazil, where chickens have naturally shed their feathers over the years, according to Gizmodo UK. Schmidt's worried about feeding the world by 2050, adding that it'll be made even worse "if the climate does continue to change."
"We're going to be seeing heat waves that are both hotter and longer," Schmidt said in an interview with Modern Farmer. "We need to learn how to mitigate the effect of climate change on animals - we need to figure out how to help them adapt to it." For now, Schmidt plans a programme of selective breeding rather than alterations to their core genetics. But as well as breeding a whole new race of heat-resistant super-chickens, Schmidt and the team are also investigating other elements of selective pressure. "We're isolating the genetic variants that have allowed them to survive," Schmidt said.

Historical Traveler Reviews Americas Best Value Inn - Executive Suite Airport Anchorage
Please stay away
I received this hotel as a 2-star selection from Priceline. Ouch. Just lost a lot of faith in Priceline on this one. As previous posters have noted, this hotel is old and dirty, and is not worth saving a few bucks. Trust me, I am a thrifty person, so I am willing to sacrifice to save a couple dollars. This is not the place to do it though. The rooms are dirty, the furnishing are ancient, and even in the non-smoking rooms the cigarette burns are numerous. Yuck. It is also quite noisy, so you better be tired if you expect to sleep through the night.
I will admit that the staff seemed quite friendly. The rooms were also rather large for the price, but we were too scared to use one of the beds. The continental breakfast was decent enough as well.
But please look elsewhere for value. Some things are just not worth it.
Total Dive hotel, stay away...
This hotel is a run down dodgy motel. We had made a reservation by phone to spend our last night before going home to be near the airport. We had been fishing in Homer and had our frozen halibut and salmon to take home. I asked if they had a freezer to accomodate our fish and they said yes. I called several hotels to check prices and freezer availability. I picked this hotel as a lower price and airport close hotel. On our arrival, we saw 2 upright freezers and questioned the ability to fit our large box of fish and told the manager if he could not accomodate us, we would go elsewhere. He assured us he could remove shelves and fit the box. On checking out the next morning, we saw that our fish was not in the freezer and our box had been opened. The clerk stated they opened the box and took each peice of fish out and put it into the freezer. We were livid. They never tried to reach us so we could go elsewhere. They misrepresented themselves and opened our personal property. The clerk was a teenager and the manager was rude and very unprofessional. The continental breakfast was 1 banana, dried up carrot and celery sticks and boxed cookies. It was an absolutely disgusting. Pay more money and go to a decent hotel run by professionals.
Cootie Cottage
We stayed in a ground floor room. I couldn't advise anyone to stay there no matter what the price! It was a cold night and we had to wait a long time to get someone to help us turn the heat on. He then told us we were "sissies."
There was an overstuffed chair with the stuffing coming out and a soiled couch. The remote for the TV didn't work.
The worst part was the sheets were paper thin and the bed made so poorly we couldn't tell if it had been slept in or not. Since it was late and we were tired, we did sleep in the bed but never felt it was clean.
room was small. water could not keep the right temp. tv broke down and no came bck up to fix it....was told one price on the hotel and over charged. also checked after 2am and was told when we got there check was sunday but then got a call on sat and was told we had check out sat. very unhappy
Don't stay on the ground floor in the summer.
This hotel provides clean rooms for a reasonable cost.� However, I found myself
in a ground floor room that was hot and stuffy - no air conditioning, just a
fan.� If I opened the window there would have been no security and anyone could
have gained access relatively easy.�� I insisted on being moved and they put me
in a nice suite on the second floor for the same price.�� While the rooms were
fine, the halls are shaby looking, there is no elevator and big flight of stairs
to drag one's luggage up.� However the free continental breakfast was
substantial and there was free shuttle service to the airport.
Not so best value for my money
I booked this hotel from hotels in conjuction with an airline reservation from Continental.I didn't research or shop around.All I wanted was 24hr pick up and return to the airport.I figured prices had to be comparable.However,the price I paid seem high for this borderline seedy hotel.The van came to the airport quickly to pick me up.It was a beat up van.Dented,torn seats-the driver was very slow to help me with my bags.The hotel itself was right next to a Mc Donald's with a bright light shining from it's parking lot into my window all night.The hallway carpets were torn up to give a great first impression.My room was okay,tv was in the living room but not the bedroom.I've heard that the remote control is the dirtiest part of a hotel room,but this one was so scuzzy that I had to touch it with a paper towel.The workers were friendly,breakfast stale.Other guests were going hunting and fishing.Just seemed a high price for a below average hotel.There were others nearby that might have been a better choice.
Don't Let the Name Fool You
Don't let the name fool you -- no executive would stay here. While the staff was friendly and attentive, the room left much to be desired. I left after the first night.
The suite wasn't clean by most standards. Around the floor edges there was dirt and dust and morsels of food. Most top surfaces (for example, lamp bases, stove hood, television) hadn't been properly cleaned for quite awhile. The kitchen was filthy with dirty cabinets, stove and oven that haven't been cleaned in months, and a dirty coffee maker. In the bathroom the shower walls seemed a bit scummy and the toilet had urine stains.
The furniture was well-worn and uncomfortable. In bed I rolled to the center of the mattress. The living room sofa, chair, and lamps definitely should have been retired long ago.
From what I could gather, Executive Suite caters primarly to longer-term renters who are not always in town, such as oil company workers who work on and off up on the North Slope, but who may not plan to permanently relocate to Alaska.
Executive Suite is not recommended for the tourist traveler.
No way
Our room was a double. It was very musty smelling. Furniture was spotted with what we didn't know. Very dingy. My friend took a fall on some wet stairs---EMTs were called and no response from management what so ever. We really would never recommend this place.
One night too many
My wife and I stayed for one night in March 2003. We asked to check in early, but the room wasn't ready. That was fine; we went out for a leisurly lunch. We came back shortly after check-in time. They hadn't even started on the room. 25 minutes later we were given the key.
The room smelled strongly of cleaning fluids and the smell didn't fade much after leaving the windows open the rest of the day. It still smelled the next morning, but I had the sense that it was now a permanent odor we were detecting.
Our room was next to something that emitted a high-pitch noise throughout the night. The room was also dark, aging, and not totally clean. The TV remote didn't work. On the plus side, we were able to check out early with no hassle.
Large rooms
clean place with oversized rooms--will pick-up and drop you off anywhere you want to go

SKYRIM ENHANCED SHADERS NLA v1.1
Jan 16, 2015 Skyrim Enhanced Shaders NLA Full Version 8 commentsPlease see the Summary tab for full details, and check out the videos and images!
The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel.
The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.
The next chapter in the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls saga arrives from the makers of the 2006 and 2008 Games of the Year, Bethesda Game Studios. Skyrim reimagines and revolutionizes the open-world fantasy epic, bringing to life a complete virtual world open for you to explore any way you choose.
About Luftahraan with 6 comments by Arkaash on Jan 26th, 2015
Hello everyone! Today I have an update for you from DoubleFelix, our primary architecture modeler. He would like to talk to you about his experiences modelling for Luftahraan and, in particular, the processes behind his model of Sovereign Hall.
Hello, I'm Doublefelix, Archon Entertainment's newest modeler, and I would like to welcome you to the first episode of my Modelling Corner series where I say a few words about and post images of my creations for Luftahraan.
This is the new version of Sovereign Hall, Luftahraan's keep, which is my biggest contribution to the mod so far. The creation process took one and a half months from start to finish, yet that time was but a breeze since I was following my passion for modelling in video games. The keep is easily twice as big as it was before, something that began to raise concerns when it comes to optimisation. The triangle count is about 40K which is comparable to the entirety of Windhelm Palace's exterior. In order to raise the polygon budget of the castle, special care has been taken to ensure that the neighbouring buildings are less graphically demanding. Similarly, the detail of the keep itself is concentrated only in places normally visible to players, with only basic geometry used for areas that they are unlikely to reach during normal gameplay. Als,o to ease the size of the mod and gain performace, there are no custom textures employed in the keep (save for the custom banners).
Now, enough on the technicalities - let's dive into the design. The city of Luftahraan is an independent Kingdom set between two major powers, Skyrim and High Rock. In order for it to have remained independent all these years, the city's major structures and fortifications have needed to be impressive enough to humble any potential besieger.
The castle is very old, dating back to the 1st Era of Tamriel, when it was established as a base of operations for Luharaan and his expedition as they sought to settle around the tower. No more than a fort then, the building was expanded and rebuilt multiple times during its extensive history. This justifies the use of various textures and designs since available materials and craftsmen changed as the years went by. As Luharaan was of Nordic descent, I went for a style closely resembling that of Windhelm Palace. Since Windhelm is one of the oldest human settlements in Skyrim it was a perfect reference to how something from the 1st Era would look.
Everything began from the simple concept sketch on the left. Sharp arches stack on top of each other, and form arrows pointing up, emphasizing the verticality of the structure. The soft and round ornaments are left as a minority to the hard edged elements to give the impression that relatively crude methods of construction were used. Finally, the whole structure is elevated on high foundations to emphasise the Sovereign's superiorty over all of the denizens of Luftahraan.
In terms of formal architectural style, I have been inspired by the German Gothic period of architecture. Most of the upper sections are taken directly from the top of Windhelm Palace. I think that that element is very nicely designed but because of its unfortunate placement, it goes unnoticed by the majority of the players - I for one only noticed it when browsing Creation Kit's assets library. It went through only minor changes, mostly for optimisation's sake (deleting unnecessary detail). This borrowing of elements from existing structures serves two purposes. First it saves a lot of time on development, and second it ensures that the new model matches Skyrim's existing art style.
An important part of my modelling pallet is an all-axis variety. What I mean is that a wall should not be simply flat and two-dimensional, even when it has a detailed texture - it should also go inward and outward. For example, whenever another texture or element is used in the Keep, it is either protruding or receding by at least a small amount. This technique emphasises the difference in styles, making the object that much more interesting and giving the model its distinct silhouette.
I have been a part of Luftahraan's development for around two months as of the time of writing, and I find it to be the best decision I've made in a while. Working for a project like this with other people is highly motivating, which leads to more asset creation. It's a great field to experiment with modelling techniques as well as to learn the necessary steps to ensure that the end result is playable. Eventually myself, along with fellow modellers Tepa and Yurtex, will recreate the majority of the city in order to make it more unique and a more spectacular place.
Next time, DoubleFelix will talk about some of the houses he has built in the city, and how he has adjusted some of the buildings and fortifications around the city to match the style of the keep.

Bloody great game, but compared to oblivion its ****.
You 2 are stupid. This game is awesome. Go play older TES titles if you like it so much.
Compared to all of the other TES games (like daggerfall and morrowind) this and oblivion sucked ***
Nostalgia has got nothing to do with it, I'm so tired of this poor overused argument, I've played Oblivion first then Morrowind second and Skyrim third.
I can safely say I found Morrowind much better, it has a greater RPG element, much more gameplay features, and a much better story.
Skyrim disregards a lot of its TES roots to provide a game to a larger audience, it focuses more on Holliwood-like style over substance and superficial things such as graphics over gameplay, and the RPG element has been reduced quite a bit.
please help me im new to this site and I cant find any way to download luftahraan please help me!
You can't download mods that aren't out yet! ;)
Highest Rated (18 agree) 10/10
Skyrim is what Elder Scrolls is supposed to be. Gone is the flowery sunshine of Cyrodiil, and instead we get cold, barren Skyrim with snowstorms and people and environments that could really fit into the Middle Ages or a natural Fantasy World. As a person who's been modding ES since Morrowind and playing since DAggerfall in 1996, I can only see this game as a natural and excellent heir to the series. Take it from me - Skyrim is Greatness!

Some may claim I'm trolling, but I'm not. I seriously didn't find much entertainment value in Skyrim, and I'm glad that I was playing it on loan rather than having actually bought it. It's Oblivion with a new coat of paint and some better conversation bits. It still doesn't have much of a main story, and the sword play is still questionable at best (Kotaku's one writer said the same thing a few weeks ago). I could go on -- but I think this'll probably get voted down anyway so what's the point? Also…

The marathon and the cupcake
On December 27th hundreds of paddlers will step into their canoes from the water at Yarrawonga in north east Victoria to start this year's Murray River Marathon. The 400 kilometre-plus journey over five days to Swan Hill is a fundraising event with money raised going back into the river and its communities.

- Permalink
For several years a regular feature has been a giant cupcake, making its way behind the Country Women's Association (or CWA) fleet.
Seventy-seven year old Adele Church from Yarrawonga has been a mainstay of Team CWA. She started taking part in the marathon after her daughter and her friend entered it in 2003.
"When they got out of the river at Swan Hill looking like I don't know what, all blisters and sore she said 'Mum you can do this' and I said 'You would have to be joking!' and she said 'No, no do it in a relay!'."
Church and other CWA members got involved the next year and despite missing 2005, Church has been every year since.
She loves the camaraderie and challenge.
"We have a lot of fun... It's not too bad the longest stretch is about 27 kilometres and you are a bit 'zonked-out' by the time you are finished but after half an hour you are right again."
Church says the CWA ladies are easy to spot, just look for a giant cupcake.
It's about 18 inches high and about one metre round... We take that along with us, it's quite light and it's our mascot."
The YMCA not-for-profit Murray Marathon passes through Tocumwal, Picnic Point, Echuca, Torrumbarry, Cohuna and Murrabit before concluding at Swan Hill.
Adele Church spoke to the ABC's Matt Dowling ahead of a training session.
