BEIRUT: A subsidiary of Integrated Pharma Solutions, a Lebanon-based pharmaceutical corporation, announced Wednesday the successful acquisition of 52.48 percent of MEIVO Pharmaceuticals in Egypt within the IPS group.
The deal between IPS and MEIVO was managed by BSEC, the financial arm of Bank BEMO.
The MEIVO acquisition is the first step in the regional pharmaceutical manufacturing network that IPS is striving to establish across the Middle East and North Africa region.
The value of the acquisition remains unknown.
"This move falls within the vision of IPS to create a network of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in the Middle East and Africa," IPS Group Chairman Ahmed Yacout said.
"IPS also sees significant potential in MEIVO Pharmaceuticals, which manufactures a diversified portfolio of more than 50 products in the leading therapeutic segments," he added.
BSEC undertook the valuation and due diligence of MEIVO Pharmaceuticals, supervised the execution of the transfer of shares in the Egyptian Exchange, and also handled structural and legal aspects of the transaction.
Ronald Yazbeck, general manager of BSEC, said: "BSEC, which arranged this transaction in challenging times in Egypt, is pleased to have met the financial and structuring needs of IPS and holds great prospects for the group as it sets its footprint in the region."
MEIVO International for Pharmaceuticals Industries has been manufacturing and distributing generic medical and pharmaceutical products in the market since 2005.

Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito again is in the news for a physical encounter, this time off the field. The Palm Beach Post, citing a police report, said Wednesday that Incognito received a trespassing warning on June 10 -- before training camp -- after an alleged fight with a security guard at Club Liv in Miami Beach. News of the club fight came four days after Incognito was involved in an incident during Saturday night's preseason game at Houston. Texans defensive end Antonio Smith ripped off the Dolphins guard's helmet and swung it, narrowly missing Incognito's head. On Wednesday, the NFL suspended Smith for the remaining preseason games and Week 1 of the regular season. Houston general manager Rick Smith said Smith planned to appeal. According to the Post, the report said Incognito and friends of his were trying to get close to a performer on stage at Liv when a security guard asked them to step back. Somebody from Incognitos group allegedly cursed at the security guar...

A simple ODM for mongodb
Wongo is an ODM-like library intended to simplify working with mongodb. The intent is to have feature parity with mongoosejs, but simplier and cleaner. Part of that simplicity is only supporting three crud methods; save, remove, and find which should cover 99% of use cases. Of course, if you want to get down and dirty, the native mongodb driver is exposed.
npm install wongo
Require the module
wongo = require 'wongo'
Connect to the database
Define a basic schema
wongo.schema = 'Mock' fields: name: String createdOn: Date
Save a document
doc = name: 'Woof'wongosave 'Mock'doc # result is the saved raw json object
Save a lot of documents
wongosave 'Mock'documents # result is the saved json object array
Update a document
partialDoc = _id: '5'name: 'Wallace'where = name: 'Gromit'wongosave 'Mock'partialDocwhere
Update a lot of documents
documents = name: 'bil'name: 'sig'name: 'boo'where = accountId: '65'wongosave 'Mock'documentswhere
Find documents
query = name: 'mint'wongofind 'Mock'query # docs is a raw json array of objects
Remove a document
document = _id: 'uniqueId'wongoremove 'Mock'document # doc has been removed
Remove a document by _id
documentId = 'uniqueId'wongoremove 'Mock'documentId # doc has been removed
Just like mongoosejs, everything starts with a Schema. Schemas map to collections in mongodb. Supported Property Types:
- String
- Number
- Date
- Boolean
- ObjectID
- Array
Setting a {type: 'mixed'} on a schema field wongo will just assume you are going to handle the type. This means, pruning will leave the field, it will not look for validation, or otherstuff. 'mixed' is just an example, you could name it anything and then write a plugin which will do something with it. Or extend the validator to validate against it.
A 'complete' schema
wongo.schema = 'Mock' fields: # fields acts just like the normal mongoose schema name: type: String embeddedDocArray: # embedded docs and everything are just like mongoose name: String validia: type: Numbermin: 3max: 9required: true createdOn: type: Daterequired: true hooks: # participate in middleware : # document is a json doc : # note, this allows async unlike mongoose : # we can even override wongo's validation with our own prune: false # or set the pruner to false if we dont want wongo to trim our documents : # modify a find query before it is run : # after we find a group of documents, we can do something with them : : indexes: # add standard mongodb compliant indices name: 1 name: 1unique: true# use an array to pass in index options
Validation should hold feature parity with mongoose.js
There are four support find methods:
- find(_type, query, callback)
- findOne(_type, query, callback)
- findById(_type, _id, callback)
- findByIds(_type, _ids, callback)
The query object
query = {select: '_id name', where: {name: 'Moo'}, limit: 5}
The query object has the following top-level properties.
- select
- where
- sort
- limit
- skip
- populate
If 'where' isn't found, wongo wraps the query object in a where statement.
query = {name: 'Boo'}
is equivalent to
query = {where: {name: 'Boo'}}
Middleware is defined on the schema (under the hooks property) or in the wongo.options. Middleware is pushed into an array when the schema is registered. So, post schema registration, if you want to add more middleware, you need to add it directly to the array. Examples of this are shown in the plugins module.
Hooks defined on the schema
wongo.schema = 'Mock' hooks: : : # add your own handler for what happens after a save validate: true # will use default wongo validator prune: false # turns off the wongo pruner : : : :
Hooks defined globally
These will override internal wongo middleware, but won't override locally defined middleware.
wongo.options.prune = false= # implement your own validate method for all your schemas
Bundled Middleware (enabled by default)
- applyDefaults - Will allow you define 'default:' on your schemas and apply it beforeSave.
- prune - aka mongoose 'strict' mode. Will remove any properties from objects not defined on your schema.
- generateSubdocIds - Will generate ObjectIDs for subdocuments like mongoose does.
- validate - Will validate a document against a schema before saving.
- populate - Adds afterFind support for running more queries to populate properties
Plugins work similar to mongoose, though they aren't compatible, because the schema object will be different.
Plugin example
Here is an example of a plugin which adds createdOn and modifiedOn to the schema and also adds before middleware save functionality. Note, that unshift is used to apply the middleware before validation.
# Addes a modifiedOn and createdOn timestamp to a schema and updates beforeSave. = # add fields to schema schema.fields.createdOn = type: Daterequired: true schema.fields.modifiedOn = type: Daterequired: true # add beforeSave middleware schemamiddlewarebeforeSaveunshift document.createdOn ?= document.modifiedOn = callback
Bundled Plugins (not enabled by default)
- timestamp - Adds createdOn and modifiedOn and adds beforeSave middleware
- nestedset - Adds lft, rgt, parentId to a schema and adds query functions to the wongo object
More Examples?
Want more examples? Check out the tests folder or just fill out an issue and ask.
- Added plugin support
- Added populate support
- Compiled to JS
- Better organization
- Full hook override array que support for save, find, and remove
- Nixed removeAll and saveAll
- Completely ditched mongoose.js. When I first started this project I always thought about it, since mongoose is like a big ogre. I finally feel 'semi' comfortable taking on the direct approach and working directly with the native mongodb driver.
- Rewrote everything and every test. There are currently over 50 tests, I'm imagining this number will grow to 200+ before the day is done.
- Basic schemas and queries all work. Still needs a lot of work ironing out many more detailed features to bring it inline and then go past mongoose's feature set. The goal is not to directly replicate everything in mongoosejs, but to take what is good and makes sense.
- Added indexes and options to wongo.schema.
- Moved mongoose as a dependency
- A few cleanups of util methods
- Added wongo.schema if you want a different way to define your schema.
- Added wongo hooks; these work outside of existing mongoosejs middleware, because I wanted to do things differently. For example, being able to work with the raw json document before it is cast to a mongoose ORM document.
- Initial library with support for save / find / remove methods.
This library was created because I was annoyed by the little things in mongoosejs.
Disclaimer: Before I get into the annoyances, mongoosejs is a terrific library. Nothing really comes close to it in terms of feature set, so the point of this project is not to reinvite the wheel, but to make it fit on my car. If you're driving a truck, you shouldn't use this library.
- Property values on objects would sometimes randomly disappear after a find. Using a doc.get('prop') fixed the problem, but wtf? This is one of those annoyances with ODM or ORM libraries where your json objects turn into 'magic' beans with various quirks in them. I created this library so you could work with MongoDB, define a schema, but just work with native JSON data objects and not have magic methods or properties added and removed. Essentially, documents dont have lifecycles, they are just dumb data documents.
- Mongoosejs recently fixed using lean() on populate queries and in general. Wongo never messes with your data documents, so there will never be a 'lean()' problem... ever.
- I have a very personal distain for the active record pattern. It is nice to do resource.save() and not bring in another import / require statement, but you still need to do mongoose.model('') to get the 'model'... And then you have to worry about, what state is this data object in? My point is, let's just let data be data and business logic not be defined directly on the data document.
- The other reason I don't like the active record pattern... I worked next to a company that had an 'active record pattern domain model' java class that was 10,000 lines of code. What a mess.
- Populate and depopulate are great in mongoose. However, I wanted something better and less 'oh, lets just override a property with an object and then go back in and save that object and have a potential mess.' So, in wongo, populate aliases can be defined on the schema. If you want to populate accountIds, you can do that, but you can also have it stick the account documents in the accounts property.
Running the Tests
I use mocha. So, you should be able to run the 'mocha' command in the project folder and be done. However, you will need to add a db_config.json file that has the db_config.url parameter in it. This file is not committed to git for obvious reasons.
Here is a format you can use:
"url": "mongodb://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{db}"

Earth and Beyond
Reviewed by
Julia Ann Charpentier
This sci-fi escapade is a multidimensional experience propelled by high-speed action and colorful, descriptive detail.
Imaginative extraterrestrial worlds are enriched with fascinating and frightening phenomena in Anthony Sailer's Earth & Beyond. Explorer Todd and his stepbrother have discovered the secret to time travel. This concept, a familiar one in the genre, is the catalyst for adventures into the fourth dimension and beyond, where they are attacked by a malicious species that has the ability to destroy life on Earth—until a serious threat to existence forces cooperation.
Sempron, the alien leader, warns of a cataclysmic outcome to a phenomenon that will obliterate everything, describing this threat in a step-by-step, structural breakdown, a stylistic technique used throughout this novel: "We have not been able to find a solution to repair the tear in the space-time continuum, and if this tear cannot be repaired it will cause the dimensions in this universe to eventually collapse. We will ultimately cease to exist and eventually the tear could become large enough to threaten your universe. The continued unstableness will eventually spread throughout the galaxies until everything throughout space will be swept into oblivion."
Exploration and war amid unpredictable conditions create the danger needed to sustain Sailer's short jaunt into the cosmos. A powerful concept, yet lacking in character development, this light-speed chase through the stars would be well suited to visual media. With definite promise as a screenplay, or perhaps even a graphic novel, the story's intense, blow-by-blow sequences seem more like movie scenes: "With weapons drawn, we each entered a tunnel. The tunnel I entered was narrow and again the solid ice was so smooth it was like sky blue glass … I slowed my pace while frequently looking over my shoulder. I began to think that maybe I was coming to a dead end. I continued onward toward the approaching darkness."
Immersion in this innovative tale triggers mind-blowing imagery rather than a deep understanding of the protagonist's personality. The humorous supporting characters present the opportunity for lighthearted banter in life-threatening scenes as they encounter unusual beings, such as the ice warriors, and terrifying situations in bizarre settings.
With a good editor, or a change in format, this marketable idea could reach a wider audience. Adequate packaging, with its eye-catching view of a planet in shades of blue, black, and white, will draw science-fiction enthusiasts with its understated simplicity, even though the design appears more appropriate for a nonfiction title.
Sailer incorporates realistic depictions into his science-fiction realm, infusing his dialogue with a natural intonation. Earth and Beyond is his fiction debut.
A solid foundation for what appears to be a series in the works, clearly inspired by Star Trek, the book's outstanding quality is in its potential for future installments. Limitless possibilities exist for this familiar, yet popular, plot concept and structure.

Temperature iPod Needs To Cool Down Before You Can Use It
I just moved an entire iPod 4g over into a new backplate, added a new power flex, lcd and battery.
I've been getting the message on the screen after power it up, or trying to use it...
iPod Needs To Cool Down Before You Can Use It
I just removed the old thermal paste from under the logic board and put on a fresh coat of Arctic Silver, but, still have the same results.
I've also unplugged and let it sit 15 minutes.
Any ideas?
Edited by: oldturkey03 ( )
Accepted Answer
For reference, I'll leave this post since I googled the heck out of a solution and couldn't find one, maybe someone will stumble upon this.
Seems the fix was to go back and desolder the battery, clean it up with some flux, and solder it back. The center contact on the battery cable was not making a solid contact.
John, the re-soldering did the trick?
yep, it was the center connector on the battery.
Excellent. congratulations on a great fix....
@oldturkey03, I think I was a bit too late though. The iPod Home button is unresponsive and on power up goes straight to voice control. I noted this in another thread. I used a 30x loupe and noticed that right above where the center contact on the battery flex looks fried / smells burnt... I think the battery arced and nailed it. A sound reminder to me to put on that Kapton tape across the components above the solder pads. :(
hello my friend fast cheek battery OK be4 am Chang ok
orignal battery ok

"Clean, but missing Amenities"
Hotel was fine - rooms and lobby were clean and well kept. When we checked in we were disappointed to find out that both the pool as well as the fitness room were not available to guests. I regularly use the fitness rooms at hotels and it was one of the reasons I selected this hotel, only to be told that it was out of commission. When I asked if there […] were any alternatives, I was told that I could go to one of the local gyms and pay the guest fee to go there. I thought maybe they would make arrangements with one of those gyms (or a nearby hotel) to accomodate guests who wanted the pool and fitness room. I was surprised that they would handle it this way, partiuclarly because they advertised that they had these features on the website. Again, room, lobby and overall experience was fine, but I would have selected another hotel if I would have known that the fitness center was not functioning and available to guests.

It was VERY clean, It had the best breakfast, it was the most comfortable, an awesome fitness room, a great pool and they were both open 24 hours! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Excellent experience would book with you again in the future.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel was a pleasant surprise. The front desk "Erica" was a dream in helping us with what ever we needed ,THANX ERICA!!. Will definitely recommend to all. Room was clean, big and bed very comfortable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No Place To Stay"
I had an unexpected meeting in Nashville and could not get a room at my normal hotels for a reasonable price. Selected this Comfort Inn based on reviews (4 out of 5). The hotels around it were not places I would want to stay and it is wedged amoung them. However, I was pleasantly suprised. The staff were very friendly and the rooms was wonderful. For […] the price it was a suite with refrigerator, microwave etc and a very nice bed/mattress. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"close to down town nashville, best place to be''"
very comfortable, and clean ,loved our room,Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Front desk gentleman was very friendly woman at front desk not so friendlyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Breakfast not the best."
The parking situation at this location was not the best. Tight quarters and limited. The continental breakfast was the same for both days. They could have used more variety.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Enjoyed our stay"
Stayed 6 days to attend a class at Trevecca University. Hotel had everything we needed including a laundry room. The only thing it may need more of is exercise machines. Otherwise, we had a very pleasant stay and we will stay there again if we are ever in the area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not my choice"
Dated. Staff extremely pleasant. Internet was pretty much non-functional. The staff tried to resolve but I could not spend the time to wait so I checked out and got a refund.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"You get what you pay for"
Double beds uncomfortable. Sleeper sofa not usable...all springs. Hallways were FREEZING.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Stay"
Before our trip, I searched extensively for the best hotel for our stay in Nashville. I was hoping to find the best price, location, indoor pool, free breakfast/parking, and overall nice, clean, modern hotel. The Comfort Suites was the perfect fit! The hotel is very clean and the room was much bigger than your standard hotel room. Our King bed was comfy […] for myself and my pregnant wife. My 19 month old son loved the indoor pool and breakfast offerings of yogurt, fruit, sausage, eggs, bagels, pastries, muffins, and juices. We found no reason to go any place fancier for breakfast, as we had plenty to choose from there. The location isn't right next to any of the major tourist sites, however, it is a good central location with a 10-15 minute drive to downtown, Opryland, and everything else. Traffic was no problem, and our GPS took us to everywhere we wanted to go. Parking downtown was reasonable ($5-10 everywhere) considering this is a big city. Overall, I was 100% satisfied with my stay, and I found that the low rates of this hotel allowed us to enjoy all the sites and sounds of Nashville, without breaking the bank. I would happily stay here anytime I traveled to Nashville. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Would stay again"
Room was very clean and large. Bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. Airport noise was minimal. Complimentary breakfast was Ok. There was a grocery store nearby as well a couple of restaurants.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Would stay there again"
There were a few issues but nothing that warranted concern. I love the room and the manager was exceptional. We will stay in your hotel again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Basketball coach"
Great stay had no issues with this hotel. My team stayed here and none of my parents complained about their stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
A friend and I arrived at 11 a.m. on a Thursday morning and were able to check into our rooms early, which was very convenient. I chose this hotel because it was about half the price of hotels closer to or in downtown Nashville, so it was a fair drive to the sites we wanted to see. The reception personnel didn't seem especially friendly, but the housecleaning […] staff were exceptionally so. One side of the king bed was visibly sinking in the middle, and I could hear my neighbors on either side during the night. Breakfast offerings were limited and disappointing. The hotel is not conveniently located near any good restaurants or stores. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
great location right off route 40Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Hotel - Nice Staff"
I picked this hotel, because I needed somewhere to primarily sleep at on my trip. It was a great hotel, with friendly staff and was very clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good hotel"
This is a very clean and comfortable hotel convenient to Opryland and the east side of Nashville. Overall, I give it all fives except for the breakfast, and that's about a 3. It's not too bad with some hot food (eggs, sausage, waffles), but there is a Cracker Barrel next door if you want something fancier. There's also a grocery store about a mile away. […] Staff was also very friendly. I travel to Nashville several times a year and have been looking for a regular place, and I think this will be my choice. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Nice room. breakfast could be improved. No recycling options for paper or plastic. Comfort Inns should promote recycling.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"We are definitely staying there again."
Very clean, close to restraunts, and not far from etheir mall. Staff VERY friendly!!!! Breakfast was clean and nice. Even offered food good for diabetics. The only down fall was the pull out couch was NOT comfortable. You could see and feel every spring in it. But we have stayed at over a dozen of hotels in the area and this was the best!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good room for decent price"
Clean hotel and room. Room was a little small for a suite fitting 6 people, but luckily we didn't spend much time in the room. A little too far from downtown, but a trade for the price of a downtown hotel. Had to leave before trying the breakfast in the morning.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great hotel for family"
The reason we chose this hotel was to use the work out facilities and indoor pool. The pool was closed and so was the work out facilities. I could have gotten the same quality hotel cheaper because they did not have an indoor pool or work out facilities. Also, my son was looking forward to some downtime in the pool and work out facilities. The hotel […] did not have a channel to rent movies. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Great service. Nice clean room. Slightly dated but overall a great place to stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"simple and clean"
Not much off this exit - Cracker Barrel, but it's easy access to the interstate. Easy $25 cab ride to downtown Nashville - perfect for us. New hotel. Very clean. Perfect for the price!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"good service, but bad location for a Saturday nigh"
The receptionist was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, with plenty of cushy pillows on the bed and soft duvets. However, we were there on a Saturday night, and there was a club, with a band, playing until midnight or after. I think I got to sleep before the music stopped anyway, because I was so tired. But we did get to hear the band without […] paying the cover charge. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place for family"
We were a couple and 3-kids. The check-in was a breeze. Staff is very friendly and responsive. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool which is a bonus for our Fall stay. We all enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. There were many items to choose from. The hotel is very close to the interstate, restaurants, and convenient stores/gas stations.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice place to stay"
It is close to the airport, close to inter-state and not too far from downtown. The staff was friendly. There is a Cracker Barrel very close to the hotel but if you don't want that they provide menus to other area resturants.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Choice"
Quick check in/out. Very clean room. Excellent location. An extra hour on the week-end breakfast availability would have been appreciated.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Weekend with friends"
Room was clean, beds comfy. Bathroom toilet had some sort of leak so it dripped all night. We didn't request it to be fixed but it was noticeable enough that they should have noticed and had it fixed anyway. Had the continental breakfast one morning. It was nothing spectacular...about what you'd expect. I do have to complement the MOD named Adrian. […] He was so friendly & helpful. We always had some good laughs with him. We really wished we could have said bye to him before we headed out at the end of our trip but he was off duty. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Toilet dripped and got out of bed at 2 a.m. to shut water supply off to toilet so we could sleep. Sink in bathroom was stopped up and water drained extremely slow. Went to breakfast Sun. morning at 9:00 a.m. but was told that hotel does not serve breakfast on Sun. after 9:00 a.m.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Birthday stay!"
We stayed here after reading several reviews and was hoping it would not be a disappoinment. Well it wasn't. The hotel staff was very friendly, the rooms were very nice and clean, breakfast was nice. The only problem was the parking lot was small and tight and that wasn't a big deal. Our stay there(and we had 2 different rooms) was Great!!!! I would […] recommend this to anyone needing a place to stay while in Nashville, It was close enough to downtown Nashville and very easy to get to the mall and Grand Ole' Opry. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"hotel for a night"
is close to the airport close to restaurants and where ever else you may want to goGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Stay"
This hotel exceeded my expectations. The room was spacious. We booked the 2 bed suite since we were traveling with 4 adults and two 2 year olds. There was more than enough room. The breakfast was good and the attendant kept everything replenished. The girls decided they wanted yogurt but they were out. He went to the back and got yogurt for them. Nice […] indoor pool that is open 24 hours. It is right off I-40 so all you have do do is jump on the interstate and you are only minutes away from where you need to go. It neighborhood was pretty decent with a Cracker Barrel and Waffle House nearby. The staff was very friendly. I would stay there again. I couple of reviewers mentioned the traffic when turning left but we had no problem at all. The hotel is on the right as soon as you get off the Interstate so be ready to make that first right or you will miss it and have to turn around like we did. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Poor Service"
Nashville is a great place and fortunately the service of the hotel didn't affect my stay, however I am very disappointed with the service. The hotel directory said that laundry service is provided - well it isn't!! The manager that I saw said it was available yet the following morning the young lady who was on said no, then phoned up the manager (who […] wasn't the person I saw the night before) chatted on the phone about the laundry and said the service wasn't available. I asked where was there a laundry and she couldn't help me. Pretty poor for an overseas visitor. I found a laundry about 4 miles away who was extremely helpful. Disappointed that a hotel chain who offers a service, doesn't deliver! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"5 Stars all the way!!"
We usually stay next door at a different hotel because we know exactly what to expect as far as service and cleanliness...{the cleanliness part being my biggest point of interest.} Booked online and found that this one offered a MUCH better rate. Still a little skeptical, pulled up and hoped for the best. SO HAPPY with our stay!! All of the staff was […] great. Very helpful and courteous. Rooms were exceptional. Everything was clean and spotless, beds were comfortable. Our boys used the pullout couch. Mattress was clean, wrapped in plastic which I loved, no problems. Lobby has a row of menus for all types of restaurants that deliver. I can't say anything for breakfast because we always choose to eat at a restaurant right down the road. Everything else was superb!!!! I picked up a business card on the way out. This will be our place to stay from here on :) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Stay."
This chain tends to be nice anyway but this hotel was in exceptional condition. My only complaint might be that the 3rd floor hallway was as cold as an icebox. Other than that one thing, excellent!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bad sofabed."
The beds were lumpy and the sofabed was terrible! Location was OK for what we were doing. The pool was closed....Genuine Expedia guest review
"Business revenue is not a priority for this hotel."
The company I worked for rented a meeting room for 20 people. What they gave us was what was slightly larger than a conference room and barely fit myself, the LCD projector, and 20 people. They never did a water service (something that was supposed to be included in the rental price), and didn't even clean the room over the two days that we had it. […] All the garbage and empty drink containers from the day before were left for the second day. The garbage can was overflowing with trash. Obviously not concerned in earning or even keeping business-centered business. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fantastically comfortable beds"
Clean, comfortable and pleasant. Great bedding, supremely comfortable. Would recommend it to my friends. Nice breakfast in the morning too.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall great value!"
It was clean & room was comfortable. I would stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Comfortable & great place to stay!"
We chose this hotel because it was close to Percy Priest Lake. We read a lot of good reviews before we chose it. The gentleman at the front desk was super helpful and extremely nice. They were very accommodating and let us keep my husbands mountain bike in our room. The room was very clean and the beds very comfortable. On the weekend there is a place […] next door that has live music, so if you are a light sleeper, you may want some ear plugs. Its not loud, but you can hear it. We were fine with it though. A plus is that the fitness room and pool are open 24/7! The hotel was really pretty and decorated nicely. I will definately be back and will reccommend it to my friends!

"clean..great breakfast..horrible pull out couch"
this hotel was clean. there is definitely room for improvement on the following...TV..the main HBO channel was down the whole stay. we ll 3 called fromour roomss informing the staff. they reported they had called direct tv but 3 days later the channel was still down. the pull out couch is UNsleepable for even a child. nothing but springs and no sheets […] in room to make the couch into a bed. called desk and were told to come down and get them. should not advertise as suite if pull out is unsleepable. the printer which i needed for tickets was out of toner and i had to find staff to replace it. the front desk staff were typically efficient . the day i checked out the staff was on her cell phone when i arrived to check out and continued her personal conversation a little longer rather than getting off immediately. the breakfast was great . i left my pillow and the staff allowed my sister to go in my room and get it..providing her with a key which is a huge plus. this is my first negative review ever but these things need correcting.

"Great place!"
We were primarily in Nashville to spend time downtown, which wasn't too convenient, since we went down there both Friday and Saturday night, and it's a seven- to eight-mile drive from the hotel. But the cleanliness and great condition of the hotel room, and the great breakfast there, made the unfortunate distance from Broadway Avenue worth it. Really […] nice stay.

"Comfort inn and suites - Nashville"
Contacted hotels.com to find accommodation. Due to a derby being in town most hotels were fully booked. Hotels.com found the above hotel at a suitable location and price at short notice. We had a party of 7 so it wasn't an easy task. Overall the hotel was clean and friendly. Bed and pillows were not great. But hotel staff and facilities were more than […] suitable. Breakfast service could have gone a little later given that people are. Vacation they tend to sleep past 9am. The smith family from Australia Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice place, but pesky neighbors."
The staff and condition of the hotel are outstanding. What made our trip tough was that the jerks who own the sports bar behind the hotel don't have any concern that they are disturbing everyone outside of their establishment. Granted, I truly could through a rock and hit their back patio, but the bar should respect others and put up some sound diffusion. […] Ask for a room on the west side.

Soler Takes Shark Deep, With Authority (VIDEO)
Welcome back, Jeff. Jorge Soler absolutely annihilated that baseball to give the Cubs an early 2-0 lead over Jeff Samardzija and the White Sox.
Mike Olt Smashes a Baseball (VIDEO)
The Cubs aren't doing so well tonight, but there has been a few bright spots. One of them is this Mike Olt blast, Olt has been impressive so far this spring as he has his sights set on an opening day roster spot.
Spring Fever – March 26, 2015 (Cubs Lineup, Broadcast Info)
Bright lights for the Cubs tonight as they battle the Angels on ESPN tonight, first pitch is at 6:05 PM CST. The lineup the Cubs are trotting out tonight is worthy of the National media, and I'm sure there will be endless talk about how the Cubs are handling Kris Bryant, so tune in… Eric Jokisch gets the ball for the Cubs, he will face off against veteran right-hander Jered Weaver, and a pretty regular season looking Angels lineup. The Cubs made cuts earlier today, no surprises really (Almora, and Schwarber included), the roster now stands at 40.
1. Baez – 2B
2. Russell – SS
3. Bryant – LF
4. Soler – RF
5. Rizzo – 1B
6. Olt – 3B
7. Castillo – C
8. Jokisch – SP
9. Szczur – CF
Impressions? Kris Bryant is getting his first start in LF this spring, and Joe Maddon is once again hitting the pitcher 8th, obviously something he likes to do. Also of note, Chris Denorfia is battling a hamstring issue that will most likely keep him off the opening day roster, so Matt Szczur has another great opportunity to get noticed tonight.
Cubs No Match For Taijuan Walker
I'm not even mad. Taijuan Walker put on a pitching clinic last night in what had to be the fastest spring training game in the History of ever. The Cubs couldn't do much of anything against the young right-hander, and they could only manage six hits in the 3-2 loss. Travis Wood wasn't terrible, he just couldn't keep up in the five innings he worked. Wood gave up three runs on five hits, while walking two, and striking out three, his spring ERA sits at 4.19 which is fine. The pen did some work last night, Pedro Strop, Phil Coke, and Hector Rondon combined to work three scoreless innings, giving up one hit while walking two, and striking out four.
"Riding the Bus" Returns April 9th! Cubs Minor League Reports
Lots going on around here, one of those things that is keeping us busy has been creating and prepping for the upcoming minor league season. We provide daily in-depth recaps of every minor league team in the Cubs system, it's a lot, but it's worth it.
Make sure you check in daily for the recaps, and box scores, you'll learn a lot about the Cubs prospects coming through the system, and how well they are doing. We are excited to provide you with this in-depth reporting all year long!
E-Jax Torched, Bryant Still on Fire as Cubs Get Thrashed
Edwin Jackson did himself no favors today as the Athletics put a hurting on the right-hander. E-Jax gave up eight runs on nine hits in just 1.2 innings of work, his spring ERA sits at a meteoric 7.59, yuck. The result was never really in question today with the A's scoring ten times through three frames en route to a 14-2 victory. How did the Cubs get their runs you ask? Well, the usual ways. Jorge Soler had an RBI single, and Kris Bryant increased his ridiculous home run total to nine on the spring. Bryant did make his third error of the spring this afternoon, but no one is talking about that, except the Cubs front office (wink, wink). Not a lot of things went well today, but one bright spot was the Cubs walked nine(!) times, sure they were 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, but NINE WALKS.
(Parental Advisory) Kris Bryant Homers, Again (VIDEO)
Spring Fever – March 24, 2015 (Cubs Lineup, Broadcast Info)
We are twelve short days away from real Cubs baseball, which means that important decisions are looming for this coaching staff. Edwin Jackson figures to be involved in one of those decisions, in a good way or bad, depending on how you look at it. Joe Maddon has talked about thinking out of the box when it comes to Jackson by possibly piggybacking Travis Wood and Jackson in the 5th spot. I'm not a huge fan of that, but if both guys prove worthy of a roster spot then there aren't many more options that don't involve the Cubs eating a lot of money. E-Jax gets the ball today for the Cubs as they take on the A's at 3:05 PM CST, the game can be heard on cubs.com, no TV. It's unfortunate that the game is not on because the lineup is tasty today.
1. Fowler – CF
2. Lake – LF
3. Soler – RF
4. Rizzo – 1B
5. Bryant – 3B
6. Montero – C
7. Baez – 2B
8. Russell – SS
9. Jackson – SP
Still no Starlin Castro as he is working back from a groin issue.
Bryant Powers Cubs to Wild Win
At this point I wonder if baseball is even hard for Kris Bryant, because it doesn't look like it is. Another day, another two dinger game for Bryant as he finished the day 2-for-2 with said two dingers, a walk, and FIVE RBI, goodness. The rest of the Cubs followed Bryant's lead as they pounded out sixteen hits en route to scoring twelve runs to beat the Mariners 12-10. Lost in the Bryant madness is the spring that Addison Russell is having, Russell went 2-for-3 with his first homer of the spring, a run scored, and two RBI, he's now hitting .409 on the spring. Last year the Cubs cracked their fair share of homers, this spring they have hit 28 which leads all of baseball, that includes the four they hit today (Bryant, Russell, Castillo, Bryant). After a horrendous 1-8-1 start the Cubs are now 9-10-1, playing much better baseball, and getting results.
Stop Me If You Have Heard This… BRYANT BOMB NUMBER TWO! (VIDEO)
He did it again, honestly, there are no words at this point. Kris Bryant is 2-for-2 today with two dingers, a walk, and 5 RBI…. Unreal.

Great article! I just got back from summer band camp, I could have used this article two weeks ago! I am usually very shy and socially awkward... but I tried really hard to be bubbly this year and I made some friends I will never forget! It helps to remember that people at camp don't know who you are at school; and for just a week or two, you can be as friendly and nice as you want to be!
