Chapter I: Making New Friends & Enemies *********************************************************** *****A. Main Story Missions***** 1. Welcome To Bullworth-- Unlocks mission 'This Is Your School' Congratulations! You've been unceremoniously dumped at the front gate of Bullworth Academy. The first contact you get here is that of Miss Danvers. She's got a rather creepy attachment to the school's headmaster and she directs you to go see him in his office, so off you go. Head straight through the main gates and straight ahead to the main school building following the yellow "X" on your mini map. Slow down or stop on the way and you'll find yourself in a fight right away, so unless that is what you are looking for, just beat feet to the office and don't waste any time screwing around along the way. Holding "X" gives you sprint, so use it. Get to the front door of the building and press triangle at the door as instructed to enter the building. Go up the stairs right in front of you and around the bannister at the top to enter the yellow marker in the main office and trigger the cut scene of your first encounter with Dr. Crabblesnitch. Enjoy the speech as he tells you what a piece of crap you are and how he is going to mold you into something society can live with. At the end of his little tirade, you'll be sent off with Miss Danvers to get your uniform on. Head straight out the front door of the building again and back toward the main gate, but turn right just before you get there to head toward the boy's dorm. On your way up to the door, you'll get into your first fight (unless you managed to pick one on your way into the school at the beginning). You'll be surrounded by bullies, and you'll get a quick tutorial on how to fight and humiliate your opponents. When you've suitably made a fool of one bully, you'll be almost flattened by a big giant guy until a prefect comes to save you. You'll then be sent into the dorm to change your clothes. Once inside, you'll be prompted to check out the soda machine where you can replenish your health, and you'll also notice the glowing bulletin board where you can check for important messages. (Looks just like the "i" icon from the Midnight Club games) You'll also see the video game "Future Street Race 2165", but you can't play it until you've completed the next mission, 'This Is Your School'. Go back across the hall to your dorm room and walk up to the armoire to change into your school uniform. When you've changed your clothes, you'll be introduced to Gary and Femme Boy --er-- Pete Kowalski. After all the pleasantries have been exchanged, you are shown the book on your desk where you can save your game. You'll now see that the next mission has been unlocked on your map and you can begin your sentence --um-- term at Bullworth Academy. 2. This Is Your School -- Unlocks video game "Future Street Race 2165" in rec room Unlocks mission 'Get To Class' Head back to the main school building and enter the yellow marker at the front door to start this mission. Once inside you'll be prompted to follow Gary around the school, where he'll show you the fine arts necessary to your survival at Bullworth. Your first lesson will be in how to beg for your life with Russell. Follow the onscreen instructions to whine your way out of a beat down and give Russell a dollar to leave you alone. Once that is accomplished, you'll get your first lesson in lockpicking. You're going to break into Russell's locker and steal his hat. Using the left analog stick, rotate it around as the arrows indicate on the padlock icon that appears on the right side of your screen. As with a real lock, the second arrow will want you to rotate the dial a full turn before finally stopping for the second part of the code. Complete the puzzle, and Russell's locker will open and give you access to Russell's hat. You will take it automatically and instantly be treated to your first lesson in prefect evasion. Gary will distract the prefect while you run to a trash can to climb in and hide. Hide in here until your trouble meter (yellow indicator around the right side of your mini map) goes down. Once it's down, climb back out of the trash can and take off to find Gary again. Now he's going to take you down to meet Eunice. Eunice is the freaky fat chick that has had her choclates stolen, and she would appreciate it if you would get them back. Follow the marker on your yellow map to find the nerd hiding in the bathroom eating the choclates. Follow the onscreen instructions to humiliate the nerd and make him drop the choclates. When he does, pick them up and take them back to Eunice. When you give them back to her, she treats you to a little (read: nauseating) make out session which, while disturbing, does good things for your health, as the health it gives you extends beyond the normal 100% mark on your health meter. When Eunice is done expressing her gratitude, you're once again prompted to follow Gary to the cafeteria, where you'll get your lesson on the social cliques of Bullworth Academy. The end of this lesson finds you standing automatically at the beginning of the next task . . . . 3. Get To Class Unlocks mission 'The Setup' Unlocks English, Chemistry, Art and Gym classes A clock appears in the upper left hand corner of your screen and you are instructed to get to your class, indicated by an orange bell on your mini map, by 9:30. This shouldn't be too difficult since the class is located just down the hall from where you are standing. You get your instructions here that classes go from 9:00 to 11:30 am and 1:00 to 3:30pm. Missing classes given during these times is considered truancy and should you decide to do this, avoid prefects at all costs. Enter the orange marker to begin your first Chemistry class. This is a simple mini game of "match the buttons". If you've played GTA: San Andreas, this is exactly like the "dancing" found in that game that you had to do with your girlfriends on the dates. As a button icon passes through the box on the bottom of the screen press the corresponding button on your controller. Match them sufficiently, and you pass the class and this mission is over. You can now make fire- crackers with the chem set in your dorm room. You also have a new save point on the desk in the main office of the school building. ****AT THIS POINT*** You have now officially entered what you will consider to be the "free roam" portion of the game. From here you can search for items, go to the next mission, go play the video game in the dorm, search for errands or simply wait around for 1:00 to attend your next class. All classes from this point forward will be covered in the "Classes" section of this walkthrough. ******************** 4. The Setup -- Available 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Unlocks weapon Slingshot Unlocks mission "Slingshot" Bully Respect -5 You've been seen by a bully named Davis, talking to Dr. Crabblesnitch and now the bully thinks you're a brown noser. He pops you in the head with his slingshot and takes off. Take off after him. You will have a hard time keeping up with him, but don't worry about that too much. Just follow him as best you can and deal with the adversaries that come your way. You'll run into your first enemy as you approach the closing gate of the auto shop. Follow the onscreen instructions during this fight, and you'll learn how to stuff your opponent into a trash can. Once he is defeated, open the gate to the auto shop by continuously pressing the triangle button and enter. Inside, you'll encounter another bully. Take him out before going to the yellow marker to open the garage door. When you open the garage door, you'll encounter yet another bully. Make him lie and cry as well before approaching the yellow marker to open the last garage door. When you open this door, you'll be treated to two bullies that gang up on you. If your health is low, at least one of the bullies you took down on your way here should have dropped a soda so you could improve your health. Take out these two and you have one final fight to deal with. Davis is up on a raised area shooting at you with his slingshot. You can't get to him because as you approach, he knocks the ladder down. All is not lost. Run around this area avoiding Davis' shots. You'll find items here that you can pick up and throw, specifically trash can lids if you kick the trash cans and knock them off, or my personal favorite, bricks. Manage to pick up three bricks and hit Davis with them and he'll come tumbling off his perch, defeated. This mission ends and you have claimed the slingshot. 5. The Slingshot -- Available 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Unlocks mission 'Save Algie' Unlocks mission 'A Little Help' Nerd Respect +5 You can find this mission in the hallway of the boys dorm, and starting it brings you to a cut scene where Gary is describing to Pete his plan to take over the school. When the scene ends and Pete sits on the couch trying to soothe his testicles, you have to follow Gary across campus to prove your skill with the slingshot. You follow him over to the eastern side of the main school building to an old abandoned school bus. Gary asks you to bust out all of the windows. This task is simple enough, just hold L1 and tap R1 to fire the slingshot (It helps to have it equipped. Scroll through your weapon inventory with L2 and R2 to equip it). There is no need to let go of L1 as when a window is broken, you will automatically aim at the next available window. This part should take 10 seconds . . . if you're slow. When you're done with the bus, it's time to follow Gary again, this time to the northern part of campus to the football field. We're going to do a little work with moving targets. When you get to the football field, go to where the yellow marker indicates and climb the tree according to the on screen instructions. When you are seated comfortably on the branch, use L1 to start targeting the unsuspecting football players. Hold the R2 button before releasing to boost the power of your shot. Doing this will take down the football players in no more than 1 or 2 shots. When all the football players have been knocked out, you've completed the mission. 6. A Little Help -- Available 8:00 am to 11:00 pm Unlocks 'Hobo Training Missions' Enter the marker in the boys dorm to start this mission and be treated to the cut scene with Pete and Gary arguing about Gary's general attitude. When the argument is over, follow Pete and Gary to the abandoned school bus that you busted the windows out of in the previous mission. Enter the door of the bus and walk through it to the area behind the bus to enter the place that the hobo lives. When you enter the area, the cut scene will begin and Gary will use his usual charm on the hobo. After finding out about the hobo's Korean War escapades, he'll tell you to help him find the parts he needs for his radio and that if you do, he'll teach you some of those "Army moves" to help you with your fighting. When you regain control you'll see that you have a new mark on your mini map. The transistor you need is on the roof of a building near the auto shop. Run that way and try to avoid fights along the way. When you get to the new yellow marker, you'll be prompted to climb the ladder to the roof. When you get up there, the transistor will be sitting there waiting for you to claim it. Grab it and head back to the hobo. When you get there, you will give the hobo the part and he will teach you your first new move, the uppercut. Lesson learned, mission over and you now have access to the 'Hobo Training Missions'. There are 5 more of these parts scattered about, and when you find them, you can bring them back to the hobo to learn new moves. For the locations of all of the transistors, see 'Transistors' in the 'Collectibles' section of this guide. 7. Save Algie -- Available 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Unlocks mission 'That Bitch' if 'A Little Help' is also completed Unlocks mission 'Defend Bucky' if 'A Little Help' is also completed Reward $5 Bully respect -10 Nerd respect +5 Head to the main doors of the Library to activate this mission. You find an unpleasantly plump young man who doesn't zip his fly here who needs an escort to keep from getting beat up. You convince him that $5 would be the appropriate price to escort him where he needs to go. You run into your first sign of trouble right after you leave the library. A bully comes running at Algie and you need to stop him before Algie gets beat up. Algie has a health meter on the right side of the screen below your mini map. If it runs out, the mission is failed. Take care of that bully and there will be two more before you get to the main doors of the school which is where you are headed. Don't let these two beat up Algie either. Prefects don't seem to be anywhere in the area, so getting rid of the bullies shouldn't be too much of a problem. Get Algie to the front doors, and as you found out during the trek to the school, you need to get him to a bathroom before he wets himself. When you enter the main school building, your marker is now on the bathroom in the back corner of the school. Head there and Algie will enter a stall to relieve himself. Eunice and another student will exit the stall next to him and this will alert two bullies outside the bathroom. Take care of these guys however you see fit, and if you haven't had the opportunity to try it yet, shove them in one of the other stalls and give them a Swirlie using the on screen instructions. When these two are taken care of and Algie has finished his business, you will get a new marker to take him to his locker a couple of halls down from the bathroom. Escort him there and the mission will be complete and you'll earn your $5. 8. Defend Bucky -- Available 8:00 am to 11:00 pm Unlocks skateboard Unlocks mission 'The Candidate' if mission 'That Bitch' is also complete You can find this mission in the boys dorm prior to 11:00 pm. Algie tells you that Bucky has gone to the auto shop to gather some parts for a school project and he hasn't come back yet. Gary uses his awesome powers of persuasion to convince you that you need to go and rescue Bucky. You head out the doors of the dorm and head for the auto shop on the east side of campus. You notice as you run that Bucky's health meter has appeared on the right side of the screen and from the looks of it, Bucky's already getting his skinny ass kicked, so don't waste any time. When you get there, you find two bullies beating up on Bucky and one of them has a bat. Take care of the one with the bat first. You can grapple with the bully and take his bat and use it against him, or you can simply beat him up before he gets a chance to use the bat, in which case you can pick it up and use it on the other bully. When they are defeated and you enter into the area with the garage, two more bullies appear and again one of them has a bat. They head straight for Bucky, so take care of them quickly in the same manner you took care of the first two. When those two are done for, you'll lift the garage door at the yellow marker for Bucky so he can get the parts he needs. Once he has them, you now have to escort Bucky out of the auto shop area, so go out the way you came in. You'll not be surprised to find that you will meet up with two bullies on your way out, one of whom will of course have a bat. These two seem more interested in you than in Bucky, so take care of them using the techniques you have learned thus far in the game. When they are out of the picture, go to the auto shop gate, which is now closed. The hobo will save the day by opening the gate for you. You have successfully completed the mission and Bucky rewards you by giving you his skateboard for your travelling pleasure. Ride around (if its not after curfew like it was for me) to get used to this piece of equipment. Completing this mission will trigger the "errand tutorial" back at the boys dorm, so head that way if you're ready for that. 9. That Bitch -- Available 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Unlocks Beatrice as a girlfriend Unlocks Alternate Task 'The Diary' Unlocks mission 'The Candidate' if mission 'Defend Bucky' is also complete Health Bonus kiss from Beatrice This mission is pretty simple, but requires a little trespassing to get it started. Head to the girls dorm and enter through the front door. As soon as you are inside, you will see that you are already under watch for trespassing. Fortunately you only have to go just a tiny bit down the hall to your left to trigger the mission. You see that Beatrice, a rather homely girl is being harassed by a cheerleader named Mandy and Mandy has taken her notes. The future of the entire world is in your hands as you are tasked with getting the notes back from the cheerleader . . .or you can not do it and have the whole school think you're a perverted stalker, so your decision is pretty easy here. Even if you are a perverted stalker, you still don't want it going around as that takes all the fun out of it. When you regain control you're instructed to go to the gym. Go there and enter and your new marker will appear downstairs in the girls locker room. You have to break into Mandy's locker to steal the notes back. Follow the on screen instructions to open the lock and grab the notes. As you do, a prefect will spot you both trespassing and breaking & entering, so it's best to get the hell out of there before you get snagged and fail the mission. Escape the gym without getting caught and get rid of the heat from the prefects and all you have left to do is go to the new marker on your map and return the notes to Beatrice. When you do, Beatrice will give you a kiss and become one of your girlfriends and from this point on you can give her gifts and kiss her for health boosts beyond your 100% max. 10. The Candidate -- Available 8:00 am to 6:30 pm Unlocks Super Slingshot Unlocks mission 'Halloween' Reward $10 Jock respect -5 Nerd respect +5 You can find this mission inside the school building after you have completed both 'That Bitch' and 'Defend Bucky'. It seems that Earnest wants to be the President and he's going to need your help defending himself his upcoming election speech as this opening cut scene plainly shows. He wants you to work as security, and since money talks, you agree to do so. Once you regain control, you need to head upstairs to the yellow marker, where you'll find yourself outside the AV Room. Enter and you'll be on a balcony above the auditorium looking down on Earnest's speech. Earnest's health meter will now appear on the right side of the screen and you will automatically enter "scope mode" with the Super Slingshot. It's pretty simple from here on out. When the jocks come in to give Earnest grief, take them out with a shot. One shot is all it takes, but sometimes they come out 2 or 3 at a time. Hit them before they hit Earnest with whatever it is they happen to be throwing and they'll run away. Keep an eye on the radar, and you'll be able to see them coming. At one point, the school mascot will run onto the stage to harass Earnest and this should be the only bully that requires multiple hits to take down. Keep them all away and if Earnest finishes his speech before his health meter runs dry, the mission is successfully completed and you can head back to the dorm to start the mission 'Halloween'. 11. Halloween -- Unlocks Skeleton Costume Unlocks mission 'Help Gary' Unlocks side mission 'The Big Prank' Unlocks side mission 'Character Sheets' When you get back to the dorm, you'll find Gary lying on your bed in a military uniform. He'll tell you he's left a costume in your closet for you. Step into the marker by your closet to change clothes and start this mission. This mission has some really cool features to it that you need to be aware of before you begin to get under way. First of all, time is at this point standing still. The clock in the upper left corner of your screen disappears and you don't have to worry about making it to bed on time or precepts or anything. All the precepts are at a party and there will be none to be found anywhere. Feel free to use this time to enter the main school building and break into lockers at will, because nobody will be there to bust you. You will also notice that spread around the campus there are pumpkins glowing brightly in celebration of the holiday. To be precise, there are 27 pumpkins and smashing all 27 of them will award you with a secret surprise. In addition to the pumpkins, you will also notice tombstones on various pieces of grass about the campus as well. 19 tomb- stones in all. Again, destroying all 19 tombstones rewards you with yet another secret. After completing this mission, and the holiday is over, these items will be put away and stored in the basement of the main school building where you can get to them later if you choose not to get them at this time. Your time is unlimited here, so you might as well. For further information on the pumpkins and tombstones, please see the "Extras and Secrets" section of this walkthrough. If for some reason, Gary and Pete get taken out of the picture during the course of your campus wide vandalism spree, fear not, because they don't need to be with you to complete 'Halloween'. --On to the mission itself. . .Spread about campus are six students that want you to play pranks for them. These students are indicated on your mini map by a blue "X". In the bottom right corner of your screen you will see that the number of pranks you need to complete only amounts to five, so you won't have to do all of them. Simply find the student in need, target them with L1 and then press "X" to accept they prank they ask of you. Each student will provide you with the necessary "tool of malice" required to complete the prank. The pranks are as follows: Put a "Kick Me" sign on a student -- simple enough, with the "Kick Me" sign in hand, creep up behind ANY student, target him with L1 and press the square button to slap the sign on his back. Watch with glee as the student gets kicked, and you get credit for having completed a prank. Throw Itching Powder at three students -- Very simple, and you barely have to move. With the Itching Powder armed, simply target a student with L1 and push the R1 button to throw it at them. They itch, you laugh and you move on to the next. Egg three students -- See above prank. Same thing, just with eggs and without the itch. Trip one student with marbles -- Once again, pretty much the same concept as the above two pranks, only you only have to do it to one student. Hit three students with Stink Bombs -- Yeah, I know, the concept is getting a little tiresome now, isn't it? Light Volcano 4000 near some students -- Ok, well, at least this one is a little different. Find two or three students standing around and walk up to them with this little beauty in your hand. Light and drop it near the students using the on screen instructions. The students will "OOOOOHH" and "AAAAH" at the pretty fireworks, and when it's done, it will explode and knock them all on their ass. Pretty funny. When you have completed any 5 of the above pranks, the mission is complete and your clock returns to the upper left hand corner of your screen. **IMPORTANT!!** Completing this mission unlocks two side missions, 'The Big Prank' and 'Character Sheets'. Of those two, 'The Big Prank' is ONLY available on Halloween night, so if you choose to skip it and go back to the dorm and go to bed, it will be lost forever and you can not go back and do it later. It is NOT . . .let me repeat, NOT required to get 100% completion in the game, however when the clock reappears on the screen after completing 'Halloween', it is only 9:00 pm and 'The Big Prank' is a very short, very easy mission should you decide to do it for the giggle

But résumés can be deceiving. Detractors accuse Whiteread of stealing an arrow from Bruce Nauman's quiver (he was the first to create sculptures from negative space). But so what? All art comes from other art. Supporters hail her as the anti-Damien-the purer YBA who's not about shock, schlock, and surface (though she recently claimed surface as "absolutely 100 percent" of her work). Whiteread's art is situated at a critical juncture on the English continuum. The clamor her work sometimes elicits suggests she is solidly YBA, but the fact that she joined this wave of young Brits from a different art school (she from Slade, they from Goldsmiths) and has a predilection for old-fashioned formalism, situates Whiteread's art astride a dynamic fault line between generations.
At 36, she is the link between the old and new schools of British sculpture. Whiteread combines Tony Cragg's use of the found and cast-off with Richard Deacon's monumentality. Spiced with liberal doses of minimalism and postminimalism, she adds the go-for-the-throat insistence on subject matter of the younger English artists.
Whiteread is the rare case of an excellent public sculptor being an iffy gallery artist. Usually it's the other way around. Out of doors, too many artists turn into idiots, foisting unfortunate, overblown renditions of their work on the public. (See Jim Dine's giant Venuses on Sixth Avenue or the monstrous, smoking wall piece by Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel facing Union Square.) At a time when 99 percent of all public art is shit, Whiteread rules outdoors. She has an uncanny knack for site, subject, scale, and material. Making casts of everyday things, she materializes emptiness, and opens up some amazing, almost metaphysical third space between reality and imagination, the public and the private, stillness and frenzy.
Watertower, her simple-looking cast-resin sculpture, sits atop a building at Grand and West Broadway like a translucent mirage or a gelatinous gargoyle. A bashful visitor from another dimension, this albino sculpture is a little too small for its base, and a bit humdrum; nevertheless it's a quiet classic. Somehow, Whiteread embeds the stillness of Vermeer and the regal stateliness of Piero della Francesca into clunky modern life.
At Luhring Augustine, Whiteread again falls short of bringing the scale and the realness of her outdoor sculpture indoors (Ghost, a cast of an English parlor now on view in "Sensation," is still her most successful gallery piece). Here, she fills the space with 18 white, sepulchral, bathtub shapes. Each is cast in bronze from a mortuary slab, then cast again from its "parent" mold, so that there are nine pairs, or couples, one with a concave surface, the other convex. Set in a grid, the whole conjures a mausoleum, a hospital operating room, an ancient observatory, or a procession of giant tofu loafs. These works fill the space with an antiseptic, abstract volume, but the gridded arrangement feels too by-the-book. You think of a hundred installations involving repetition. This places Whiteread at the treacherous crossroads of homage, unoriginality, and garden-variety formalism.
Things improve in the second gallery as the coolness and obscurity of the front space turns warm and tactile. Untitled (Library) is a walk-through archive, cast in plaster and set up in two rows. Wandering between the bookcases, you again sense Whiteread's "third space." The details-the imprint of someone's name on the edge of one absent book; traces of color left behind where the books were torn away from the plaster-are enchanting, and give this mammoth sculpture the lightness of a watercolor. Still, something is missing.
The best thing about this show is not on public view. (If you ask nicely maybe they'll take you upstairs to see it.) It's a model of a piece for the long-empty plinth in Trafalgar Square in front of London's National Gallery that Whiteread will unveil next October. An inverted 70-ton translucent-resin cast of the plinth will rest on the existing one, like some dyslexic doppelgänger or a twin separated at birth. This remarkable work has the drop-dead obviousness that takes your breath away in Whiteread's outdoor work, and the abstract essence that, indoors, tends toward the academic and the decorative.

All the best,
Janice & Rich Lemoine, Owners.
The property was clean and well maintained.
Yes I would recommend the property and would consider renting again from the Lemoine's.
The activities were great for the children, restaurants were good.
The only drawback is that the surrounding tenants did not abide by the parking rules. They just parked anywhere blocking others in. We had to go door to door to see who's cars were blocking us from getting out.
Look forward to your return.

Perez gives up HR in ninth as Rockies top Indians
CLEVELAND The Cleveland Indians have mastered the art of pulling out late-inning wins at Progressive Field this season.
Thanks to Seth Smith, the Colorado Rockies turned the tables Tuesday night. Smith hit his second homer of the game off Chris Perez to snap a ninth-inning tie and give the Rockies a 4-3 win.
"It's part of the game," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "We're used to that now, especially the way we won so many games in the first month and a half of the season. They ended up scoring against our toughest guy out of the 'pen."
Smith, who hit a two-run homer off Mitch Talbot in the sixth, belted a 2-2 pitch into the right-field seats for his eighth homer of the season and fourth career multihomer game.
Perez, who has converted 17 of 18 save chances, was brought in after the Indians tied the game in the eighth on RBI singles by Travis Hafner and Travis Buck.
Perez (2-3) took full blame for the loss.
"It was a hanging slider," he said. "I just didn't come through. It happens. Home runs are part of the game. Obviously, that's why we lost tonight."
"He threw me some good fastballs," Smith said. "Then I hit a slider that I don't think is the best he's got. It wasn't where he wanted it."
Matt Belisle (5-2) worked one inning for the win. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 22nd save in 24 chances. With lightning flashing, thunder rattling and rain falling, the right-hander gave up a two-out triple to Cord Phelps and walked Asdrubal Cabrera before striking out pinch-hitter Austin Kearns to end it.
Kearns, who has two RBIs in 87 at-bats, was batting for Adam Everett, who came into the game as a pinch-runner after Hafner's run-scoring hit in the eighth. Ironically, Hafner was thrown out on the bases to help snuff out a sixth-inning rally, which is one reason why Acta refused to second-guess himself for his decision in the eighth.
"I never managed a ballgame sitting in that dugout thinking about what I am going to answer after the game," Acta said. "If the guy had hit a double in the eighth inning and Hafner didn't score, it's the other way around. I don't care what people think or say. I'm trying to win ballgames here."
Jason Giambi had three hits for Colorado, which has won six of seven and moved over .500 for the first time since the Rockies were 24-23 on May 24.
Cleveland's offensive woes continued. Since leading the AL Central by seven games on May 23, the Indians are 9-18 and have scored two or fewer runs 14 times.
Jhoulys Chacin held the Indians hitless into the sixth. Cleveland's bats came alive against Colorado's bullpen in the eighth.
Trailing 3-1, Hafner lined an RBI single off former teammate Rafael Betancourt. With runners on first and second, Belisle got two outs before Buck snapped an 0-for-24 streak with an RBI single to right for a 3-all tie. The inning ended when Jack Hannahan lined out to center.

I think they have done what they thought was right..It is hard for parents to live with a child of any age with this behaviour..I hope he gets some proper help. It is a long hard road back to normality for some.

Lisa McHale wishes her husband had lived long enough to learn more about the links between concussions and long-term brain injuries.
Her husband, Tom, an All-Ivy athlete who played in 87 NFL games from 1987 to 1995, died of an overdose in 2008 after battling depression and a painkiller addiction. An autopsy later showed he suffered from traumatic brain injuries. But she said it helps that more players now go public with their neurological problems, including some of the thousands now suing the NFL over concussions.
"To know it wasn't his fault, that there was something going on neurologically, it helps," McHale said in Philadelphia on Tuesday, where lawyers for the NFL and for more than 4,200 former players argued over whether the complaints belong in federal court or, as the NFL believes, in arbitration.
A lawyer for the former players argued that the NFL "glorified" violence and profited from damaging hits to the players' heads.
Players' lawyer David Frederick also accused the league of concealing the emerging science linking concussions to neurological problems for decades, even after the NFL created a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury committee in 1994. The panel was led by a rheumatologist.
"It set up a sham committee designed to get information about neurological risks, but in fact spread misinformation," Frederick argued at the pivotal federal hearing to determine if the complaints will remain in federal court.
U.S. District Judge Anita Brody's decision could be worth billions to either side.
About one-third of the league's 12,000 former players have joined the litigation. Some are battling dementia, depression or Alzheimer's disease, and fault the league for rushing them back on the field after concussions. Others are worried about future problems and want their health monitored.
A handful, including popular Pro Bowler and former Charger Junior Seau, have committed suicide.
NFL lawyer Paul Clement insisted that teams bear the chief responsibility for health and safety under the players' collective bargaining agreement, along with the players and their union.
"The clubs are the ones who had doctors on the sidelines who had primary responsibility for sending players back into the game," Clement said at a news conference after the court hearing.
Brody appeared most interested in whether the contract specifies that head injuries are workplace safety issues that belong in arbitration.
"It has to be really specific. That's what I have to wrestle with," she said.
Frederick called the contract "silent" on latent head injuries, and said players therefore have the right to seek damages in court.
Brody is not expected to rule for several months.
If Brody rules in favor of the NFL, the lawsuits as currently constituted will end, although former players might choose to sue individual teams or the NFL Players Association. If she decides the matter deserves a trial, there could be a yearslong process of deposing witnesses before a trial. Regardless of her ruling, either side could appeal, a process that could take years.
Players and relatives on hand for the hearing included Kevin Turner, a former Philadelphia Eagles running back now battling Lou Gehrig's disease; Dorsey Levens, a veteran running back who made a 2012 documentary on concussions called "Bell Rung" and Mary Ann Easterling, whose husband, former Atlanta safety Ray Easterling, was the lead plaintiff in the litigation before he committed suicide last year.

Matt Smith and Richard Madden's kissing selfie should make Jenna Coleman jealousAdd to Favorites | Doctor Who
Jenna-Louise Coleman had better watch out, because someone's going after her man. What's even crazier is she knows that someone rather well after sharing a TARDIS with him.
Former "Game of Thrones" star Richard Madden, who has been in a relationship with Coleman since 2011, posted a selfie on his Instagram with none other than "Doctor Who" star Matt Smith. In the photo, Smith is planting a nice, big kiss on Maddens cheek. "Kiss me quick #summerlovin," he captions the show.
Does Coleman have some competition for Madden's heart? It can't be easy to turn down a Doctor. After all, he's got the coolest mode of transportation in all of space and time. What beats that?

Recently, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority took the time to thank four individuals that members say have been demonstrating excellent community involvement and community service, and they giving them accolades for their efforts.
"The Deltas are a community service organization," said Delta Susan Smith during an interview. On Sunday afternoon the sorority and their friends and family gathered to recognize some volunteers as well as scholarship students.
"We wanted to recognize these people of the community," said Smith. "They are unsung heroes. This is not their job or something they get paid for."
In January, the sorority turned 101, and Smith said that the organization is 300,000 strong worldwide.
"Twenty-two ladies at the Howard University campus founded the Deltas," mentioned Smith, noting that many from the Sampson community are now a part of this wonderful group.
"We do this recognition program every year," she said. "We recognize people from our community."
This year four people were recognized for their community involvement.
Larry Sutton was recognized for his work which has ranged from the NAACP to writing.
"He is a columnist (for The Sampson Independent) and an avid reader," said Smith. "He's a role model in the community for men and women. He helped start the Sampson A&T Alumni Chapter. He started it in college in Greensboro and we now have a chapter in Clinton."
Helen Faison, president of the American Legion Auxiliary in Clinton, was also recognized for her service.
"She has done a lot of work with veterans," said Smith. "She gets them to and from the hospital; she works with the youth, and does the annual egg hunt every year. She also visits the cemeteries on Veterans Day.
Donald Sutton is known for his work with Mr. Window's Soup Kitchen. There he gets people to come out and volunteer.
"He gets people to help him and donate food," said Smith, about the third recipient.
Another community member who helps feed the hungry is Mattie Murphy, who was recognized for her dedication with the senior citizens at Butler Court.
"She works with Meals on Wheels," said Smith. "She makes sure that seniors have food."
"These people have been very dedicated to their community and have volunteered so much service," said Smith. "They are invested in the community, and they do things for the welfare of others. They do whatever they can do to help, and they do it from their hearts."
"That's why they are unsung heroes," Smith divulged.
This year Tonya Colwell was recognized as the Delta of the Year for her hard work.
Deltas are college educated women who are dedicated to helping others. The service organization is based on Christian principles, she said. They work on many different projects and also work with the youth.
"We want them to be productive young men and women in society," said Smith. "They go for college tours and we work on community service projects with them. Each year at Christmas they go to a rest home and give Christmas presents."
Like many sororities, the Deltas have a rush each year when nominated individuals get a chance to join. The new women then have to go through training and an application process.
This year scholarships were also presented to four young ladies from area high schools. The seniors filled out applications and were carefully screened by the Deltas. The ladies went through interviews, reviews of their acceptance letters, and were selected by the Delta's education committee.

Is Chess Infinite?
Chess games have to end. I've never heard of a chess game that ended because of any other reason than by checkmate, stalemate, draw, or resignation. Draws are the most important, here. They can happen when the position is repeated three times, there is a perpetual check, or by the 50-move rule.So, that means that there is a finite number of moves in any chess game. The question is, how long is the longest possible chess game? The answer involves some math. It turns out that, after Black's 5948th move, White is able to claim a draw. Huh?The calculation goes like this. (Pawn_Moves + Captures - Duplicates + Drawing_Interval_Grace_Period) * (Drawing_Interval), or 16*6 +30 -8 +1) * 50 = 5950. You can subtract two moves from this total because sequences of Captures/Pawn_Moves must have at least 4 alternations between the two players. Thus the number 5948.Okay, now let's make some assumptions. As an extremely loose upper bound on the number of positions possible, allowing all illegal positions, and not differentiating between the various pieces, and noting that chessboards have 64 squares, both White and Black have 16 pieces, etc., we can now make a calculation. There are 64!/32! ways to place the pieces on the board. The (!) means "factorial", which is a shorthand mathematical way to indicate 64*63*62...3*2*1. For example, 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120. So, 64!/32! = 4.8222 x 10^53. Read this as 4.8222 times 10 to the 53rd power. Keep in mind that this allows all positions, including illegal ones and positions which would clearly be impossible. So, the absolute maximum number of games of chess = (4.8222 x 10^53) ^ 5948. Which equals...(are you ready?)1.0516 x 10^270993Uh, this is a very big number, folks. It is 10516 followed by 270989 zeros (I moved the decimal). Just how big is this number? Well, there is a mathematical term for a pretty big number. It's called a googol, and it's equal to 10^100 (a one followed by 100 zeros). There is a bigger number. It's called a googolplex, and it is equal to a one followed by a googol of zeros.Uh, okay, how big are these numbers? According to most astrophysicists, the total number of atoms in the observable Universe is somewhere between 10^72 and 10^82. While this is a mammoth number, it is far less than even a googol, never mind the mind-boggling googolplex.Still having trouble wrapping your head around these numbers? Okay, consider this. A billion is a puny 10^9. If you counted to one billion at the rate of one number per second, how long do you think it would take you to count to a billion? The answer is 32 years. Starting to get the picture?So, while the number of possible chess games is larger than a googol, which makes it far larger than the number of atoms calculated to be in the visible Universe, it is not larger than a googolplex.So, chess is not infinite. But, it sure seems that way.

"In my mind I see Victor, stubbing out his cigarette, staring at our apartment's oak door. He is wearing an expression I have never seen before, a private face, vivid, nervous, not to be shared. He is taking an awful long time to stand and go inside, but he is going." Read full review

Landlord Condition & Inventory
500 - 1,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Thoughtful Apps
Protect your rent bond, or home, against future disputes with the Rent Protector...
The Rent Protector is professional help for landlords, agents and tenants which saves time, money and potential disputes by recording condition reports that everyone can agree to.
With professional, pre-loaded, editable questions helping you report on conditions, anyone can complete their own home inspection. The Rent Protector allows comments and photos to be added to your inspection for an indisputable future record. Your final inspection is generated into a professional PDF document which can be sent to all parties.
Buy once, and pay nothing extra no matter how many inspections you make.
Many tenants and landlords may not realise the value of doing a home inspection before a new rental lease is activated. For a tenant, the Rent Protector can ensure they receive their bond back at the end of the tenancy by allowing the tenant to return the home in the state they received it. For a landlord, it can give piece of mind and save future disputes by recording the condition of the property and providing the information to the tenant in order to agree the condition.
The Rent Protector enables the landlord/agent/tenant to do their own condition report record of the property rather than leaving it in the hands of the other party or an agent.
Highlight features: -
* Professional questions aimed at uncovering issues
* Question help text to provide extra clarification and insight
* Ability to edit the back end settings and questions
* Inventory capture
* Easy to use interface
* Works off-line
* Immediately saves input
* Can capture multiple photos and detailed comments against areas or inventory
* Detailed PDF document generation, including summary and signature pages, as well as linkage to photo indexes
* Links to Google Maps for easy address lookup
* Customisable PDF output, including splash graphics and headers
* Ability to clone/copy existing reviews
Don't rely on someone else to be on your side when it comes to protecting your bond or your property. Inspect your home yourself like a professional and share your
documented inspection until its time to hand back the keys.

We exhausted our searches online and were going to settle to continue to use our paper inspections forms and camera. All we could find were subscription based SaaS programs that were too pricey. Then we came across Rent Protector. It does exactly what we wanted and can be exported to many devices so all employees across our organization have uniform reports.

Downloaded this app about 9 months ago. We own a Property Management Co and use for all of our walkthroughs. We use to do the walkthrough on paper, then have to go back to the office and do it again on the computer, then print it and send it to the owner. Now it only has to be done once and can be sent directly from the property straight to the owner via email. I use it mostly on my Samsung Galaxy

Slide Show: Beaucoup of Blues
Posted Jul 8, 2009, 12:00pm
The 22nd Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival (July 2–5) began with a bang–a scintillating set by Robert Johnson acolyte 'Keb 'Mo. The rest of the performers were as hot as the 90 degree weather; the sultry testifying of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Johnny Winter's Hendrix-like rendition of "Red House," and the irresistible rhythmic pull of Geno Delafose and French Rockin' Boogie were among the fest's more memorable moments. The four-day soiree saw nearly 30 performances...

Jalapeno Cheese Cornbread
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 45 mins
A great recipe that's quick and easy to make. I got it from a Merchant Mariner and have used it for years. Definitely a favorite and often asked for recipe.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups cornmeal
- 2 1⁄2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup oil
- 2 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1⁄4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl
- Mix eggs, oil, and milk well in separate bowl.
- Pour liquid into dry mixing lightly (batter will be very lumpy).
- Add jalapeno and cheese mixing just until blended (batter should still be lumpy).
- Pour into greased 13x9 baking dish.
- Bake at 400 for 40 - 45 minute until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Most Helpful
Great. I did bake it in a hot,oiled cast iron skillet and it turned out beautiful.
I just made this and had to try some. DELICIOUS.
These are the modifications I made and it is seriously awesome.
- Halved the recipe - baked in a 8x8 pan
- Instead of oil used melted butter
- Used soymilk instead of regular milk (it's all I had)
- Added about 2/3 cup frozen corn
I will definitely make these again!
Excellent cornbread. The texture was just perfect. I used 5 fresh jalapenos instead of the pickled and that worked well for us. Only used half the sugar because we prefer a less sweet cornbread and baked it in my large iron skillet. Excellent. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 2010 :)

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 498 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dan95126 Manager needs to coach staff a bit more and plan ahead for problems Arrived for our anniversary weekend and found a complimentary split of Champaign in our room - delightful. Overall we loved the property and staff was friendly and attentive. Dog friendly, so nice to pat the other folks dogs in the lobby. Pool was comfortable, but not large. Would love a couple more umbrellas (and a couple fewer screaming kids). There were a couple of misses that good management planning or coaching could have avoided. 1) On checking in at 4, we were told there was the Westin Ritual complimentary wine tasting and chair massage at 5. We got there and were first for the massages. 20 minutes after and the wine glasses were there but no wine. I asked staff about the delay and they said it would be just a few more minutes. at half past I asked again and they said the winery had not shown up yet, but was expected. There were maybe 8 people waiting. Given they consider this a significant part of the Westin experience and given the depth of their wine cellar, I would have expected the manager to open any reasonable bottle from their collection and at least pour for the guests where were waiting. We ended up heading back to our room at 5:40, disappointed we'd wasted the time. Also, I very much appreciated the split of Champaign in my room. I would have loved it to be iced in a bucket where we arrived so we could have started immediately instead of having to put in in our fridge for late night. Also, the room is well appointed, but while it generally had 4 of everything, there were only 3 wine glasses and 3 knives, so I had to keep rinsing glasses. And no paper towels to clean up messes. Unusual for the Westin condos. The breakfast crew is very friendly. But both days they forgot something and by the time the waiter checked back with the table (they'd had a runner bring the food out), it was too late to correct (Day 2 English muffin had no butter, and was cold by the time they checked back with me, and Day 1 they forgot to bring one of our pastries and I ended up getting it in a to go box with the bill.) Waiters or runners should always swing back by a table a minute or so after the food hits to make timely corrections while the food is still hot. The other chronic problem with the hotel is the valet service. It often takes nearly 20 minutes to get your car, especially late morning and Sunday when folks are heading out. The property charges a resort fee for parking, so please spend it and get 1 or 2 more people to work the predictable bust shifts. I have been late to winery appointments as a result of leaving 10 minutes to get my car and finding it takes 20. One other small item (for me, but not other guests), I never walked down a hall without seeing 1 or 2 cleaning carts and room service dishes outside several rooms. It made the lovely property seem a bit shabby. The one real problem with this was at one point staff had rolled a wide laundry bin into the hall. It was hard for guests with luggage to get around it and I believe it would have been impassible for someone in a wheel chair in an emergency. All that said, the property is well appointed, friendly, great location. It is always my fist choice when looking to stay in Napa. Just a few items around the edges where management planning, action and training of staff could make it exceptional. July 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LesaM The staff was friendly The staff were exceptionally friendly and went the extra mile to ensure your needs were met in a timely fashion. The parking attendants were very professional. July 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Napavisitor Great staff and great hotel Our first impression of the hotel was made when we drove up and discovered how friendly the staff was. Jose meet us at our car, thanked us for staying with them and brought our bags to the room. Once he was there, he spent 15 minutes answering our questions and discussing Napa Valley. He could not be a better representative of not only your hotel but of the town and region. He made our stay begin with a smile. The entire staff was professional and friendly and we already planning our return next year. July 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sp123 Nice Stay....Service was a little disappointing It was 4th of July weekend, so I understand the hotel was probably busier than usual. The Valet parking situation needs to be improved. Matty was awesome and without him in the front, it would've been chaos. Check-in desk had two people working and 7-8 groups checking in on the 4th. The pool is nice, but it was packed (again, it was the 4th of July, so maybe it's a little less crowded on regular weekends). The bar area service at the pool was poor. (FYI - There is a 20% service fee added to all orders at the pool.) There is also a $20/day resort fee, which includes wireless internet. Our Suite was spacious, the bathroom was laid out well, enough counter space and a very good shower. The bed was comfy, but we called twice asking for foam pillows or the firmest pillows they had and kept getting squishy, feathery pillows. The Hotel/Resort location is a two minute walk to Oxbow Public Market and about 8-10 minute walk to the center of downtown, which makes it a great place to stay. And as crowded as the pool was, the Andaz doesn't have a pool. Overall, we had a pretty good stay and we'd try the hotel again on a non-holiday weekend. July 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SMike Great Experience This was the 2nd time my wife and I have stayed at this resort and we will stay there again when we return to Napa. It is a first class experience from the moment you arrive, to the daily greetings, customer service, food, pool and location. A great place to lay your head in Napa makes every day that much nicer! July 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DavidSF19 Pleasant stay, staff needs improvement This hotel is located in great location - walking distance to downtown Napa (great restaurants, wine bars, etc.) The location was perfect for the 4th of July, wine tasting and the viewing of fireworks. The hotel itself is very well kept, very clean and modern. The gym is small, but does the job and the pool is great especially when all the families with their little ones leave and it quiets down. My biggest problem with the hotel was with some of the staff. The front desk, service express and housekeeping were either annoyed when contacted or not responsive. Housekeeping never left enough towels for us, didn't leave any extra toiletries and always took FOREVER to bring something to our room. Because our room would always be missing something (including a broken wine glass) we would have to call down multiple times, which I'm sure they saw as being high maintenance. On the bright side, the folks working the Valet were great and were working extremely hard in summer heat. Overall, the hotel stay was pleasant and I had a great time while in Napa, but I expected more from a service perspective. I've been staying with SPG hotels for over 6 years (over 750 nights, Platinum, Lifetime Gold) and I've seen the full range of customer service. I would have to rate this hotel as being mediocre at best, when it comes the service received. July 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Napagirl1 Holiday Slows Service and Responsiveness The Westin Verasa did not live up to my usual standards. Stayed here last month with girlfriends mid week in a 2 bedroom. It was perfect for the 3 of us and our pooches. Nice service too with lots of helpful smiles (maybe it was our cute hounds). Have stayed here with friends or husband 3 times in the last 18 months (had 50 of our closest friends here to stay for our wedding) and raved to friends and colleagues alike. We went back over the 4th holiday to get away and could not get service to save our life. No bathroom door on bathroom (leaning against wall). It was not fixed during our stay. My husband went downstairs 2 mornings to use the bathroom there. The light on one side of the bed was missing the turn switch. Just broken off. Moved the lamp from one side to the other side of the bed to read. On our last day (Friday the 5th). We waited at the restaurant podium for breakfast for 7 minutes without any one walking over. Not even an "I'll be right with you". There were 3 young women setting tables but no one working the check in station. We finally walked away and went to Oxbow for breakfast instead. It was a great move and had a fantastic coffee to boot. I was highly disappointed with the stay. For almost half the price you can have the same quality room at another Napa area hotel. Location and restaurant/outdoor amenities are clearly not as good but the room is exactly on par-updated, spotless, large, large flatscreen and all working with free internet!. As a loyal SPG person it takes a lot for me to feel this way. Talked to the manager about the situation. I really felt we shouldn't pay for our stay to be honest but we did. We don't complain about anything-usually tweet great things about our stays as we did for another Napa Valley hotel 3 weeks ago, but this was just not in typical Westin style. Will likely try again but it will take a while. July 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by klou1222 Good Hotel But Wi-Fi Did Not Work! Hotel was very nice, however, neither laptop nor ipad would connect in room. After talking with "tech dept" to attempt to get issue resolved, we just gave up. Also chairs in room are very narrow for adults and not comfortable. Would suggest replacing at least one chair with something more comfortable. July 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by PrincessRonnie Great hotel, has complimentary washing machine and dryer This hotel itself is beautiful. The platinum complimentary breakfast is wonderful. We had a 2 bedroom 2 bath suite, which is is gorgeous. The pool and the whirl pool are fantastic, taking a dip under the stars, how can one asks for more... The most unexpected feature is the complimentary washing machine and dryer. It seems like such an innocuous issue, but I hate packing for a whole week. Once I learned that the hotel offers such unusual and FANTASTIC service, I only packed for a few days. What an awesome service feature, please accept my highest compliment... July 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy72 Perfect for a 50th anniversary celebration. We had three families plus ourselves for a week's stay at the Westin Verasa Napa. The three young families had two bedroom suites which were ideal for them. Rooms are spacious, the kitchens are fantastic (though one of the dishwashers had a broken rack). The pool was just wonderful. The only drawback was service for poolside drinks was very slow. We would recommend the hotel and return again. The location of the hotel was also perfect. Walking distance to Oxbow Market and all the wonderful Napa restaurants. Very peaceful setting. THANK YOU! July 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Spoiled The place to spoil yourself while in NAPA Could not have asked for a better hotel. Exceptional service, great comfort, friendly and attentive personel! July 2, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mouse Napa and NASCAR The Westin in Napa is one of our favorite resorts. This year again we did Napa wine tasting, golf and NASCAR. It is a great location for all these events and within walking distance to town. The two bedroom suites are large and very comfortable for two couples to share. They do need to put larger coffee pots for four people to share. A wonderful time yet again. June 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bonder22 Very friendly The entire staff was sincerely friendly, not forced or scripted. Amenities were excellent as expected but the people make the difference. June 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sheri47 the hotel is very flexible the hotel met our needs and was very comfortable. June 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by nsol Service When I have checked in, I was asked which paper I would like to have it delivered to the room, during my 6 days stay, none was delivered. Not a big deal, you had papers in the lobby. Empty plates sat in front of the room for over 24 hours. When I checked out they were still there from the day before. June 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Spgs13 WVN Excellent timeshare facility I really have no complaints but I do have a few remarks: if it's a 2 bedroom then you should stock the room for as many people could occupy that room Cleaning staff should run an inventory check after preparing the room. Ours was missing quite a few things June 24, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bob18ch Poorly maintained facilities and untrained wait staff I was surprised to find very poorly trained restaurant staff. Over the 4 day stay we ate inside for breakfast and dinner, patio the final time. There was general confusion on who was to handle a table as well the concept of filling water glasses to taking an order. The attitude of the poolside staff was equally poor. Second floor wallpaper was heavily damaged and as sections were replaced, the paper began to separate from the wall after 24 hrs. June 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cindi99 Hotel was great, perfect location Great experience. Location was perfect. June 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Disgruntledguest Charging Platinum members for water in bottles This hotel provides water bottles in the rooms, of which two are free and one is apparently not free. They claim that there was a tag on one bottle with a charge, which I certainly didn't see. When I asked for it to be reversed, I was given a long run around, the accounting office failed to call back and then eventually a front desk member said they would reverse the charge. If indeed, they are charging platinum members for water, this is a new low for SPG and certainly makes me think of staying with a chain that values its premium members, not dole out petty charges and fuss about them. Not impressive! This is the only SPG hotel that I have seen this, so, from this perspective, I can't recommend this hotel. June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pivien Wonderful hotel with great features My husband and I stayed at this hotel with our pooch for our anniversary. The staff were so friendly and provided excellent service, even for our pooch! Matt parked our car, promptly took our luggage to our room and provided us with great suggestions on where to eat. He made us feel so welcome. We love the food at the BANK restaurant near the lobby. The gentleman who checked-in our stay was also wonderful. Minor changes we would hope to see on our next stay: To lessen the wait at the check-in/out counter A tad more acknowledgement of service at the BANK bar. Do not charge for the bottle of water in the room and offer free coffee. It really does not make any sense. We drank the water thinking it was complementary. With the price staying at this establishment we feel a free bottle of water would be a nice welcome gesture. Any snacks and beverages the hotel would like to charge the guests should be placed in the room frigerator. Just a suggestion. Otherwise, we like this hotel very much and do look forward to staying at the Westin again soon. June 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trish41 One of the best we have experienced My husband and I celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary at the Westin and it certainly did not disappoint. The staff was great and very helpful. They even sent up a bottle of champagne. Our room was wonderful and one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. It was huge and had a wonderful kitchen and a very large and nice bathroom. It had a large separate king bedroom and a balcony. We hated to leave and look forward to returning to this Westin in Napa. June 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by harris44 Housekeeping Housekeeping needs new management (not staff). On one day we left our room at 8:00 am and returned at 5:00 to prepare for the evening. Our room had not been made up yet. The enxt day we had an afternoon wedding to attend so we asked that the room be made up EARLY. We were gone for the morning and returned at 1:00 pm and of course the room was not made up. This is unacceptable Westin service. June 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by CROC Good Hotel needs some client focus God Hotel, nice staff, but one disappointing experience, ordered wine off the room service list, when it arrived the price was almost 50% more than the Menu list. When I questioned this they said prices have risen and they have not changed the price list. Very poor and would not adjusted even though they where in the wrong... June 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by golfnmagic Nice Hotel but some issues The hotel is beautiful. Rooms are nice. Service at restaurand is terrible. The internet is virtually non existent in the rooms. I had to go to lobby or hallway to use it. Lastly, i was appalled when I had a charge for upgrade. It is supposed to be automatic. Never was I charged before as a gold 4 star elite. June 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nosleep77 Very Nosiy There is NO sound insulation between the rooms in this hotel. You can hear everything going on in the rooms on either side of the room you are staying in. Bring ear plugs if you want to sleep in this hotel. One day wer returned to our room at 4 PM and housekeeping had not yet serviced our room. June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by colleen0502 Fabulous Stay We had a wonderful experience, from the moment we walked thru the door until we left the staff couldn't do enough for us, and when they found out it was our 30th anniversary, they gave us a better room, brought champagne to our dinner table and sent a bottle to our room with a card signed from all staff!! Excellent June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patrick Beautiful property with great amenities The property itself was beautiful and well maintained. They offered some additional services that put it over the top, such as daily wine tasting and free messages in the lobby. Additionally it was in a great location, just a short walk downtown. June 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by csp0714 Thoughts Was disappointed with the lack of daily newspaper, lack of TOILET PAPER (had to call TWO, separate days for a simple necessity), no shower caps. Did not receive any preferential treatment, whatsoever. Room was VERY NOISY from rooms next door, poor soundproofing. Loved the wine tasting, lovely, special treat. Front bellman were very nice, warm smiles. Housekeeping was generally rather unfriendly. Surprised no turn down service, as well. June 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by geezer An Area Problem We enjoyed our stay at the Westin Verasa. The room configuration was perfect for us -- 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with kitchen and dining area. Great location so close to Oxbow but we were 3 seniors who know Napa well and wanted to eat at restaurants a bit farther away. We prefer to go out for lunch. We should probably not be driving at all and certainly should not be driving after lunch with wine. The concierge finally got us a cab after I spent a considerable amount of time getting busy signals. Ridiculous not to have some sort of cab service easily available. The hotel could help more but won't. Something needs to be done. You would think they'd be happy to have us off the streets. June 2, 2013
