Short stay, but the front desk associate was awesome and room was comfy. Great for the price.
The Value We Needed
We were looking for a quiet, comfortable place to rest on a budget after a weekend mountain bike festival. This did the trick! Only complaint was that we were seemingly crammed into one small area of the hotel with the few other guests that were
there on a Sunday night, including some loud children who ran up and down the hallway well into the evening. Especially bothersome was being stuck in an adjoining room, which allowed for an annoying amount of noise to seep through the door from our neighbors. It seems the small number of guests could have been spread out to make everyone's stay a little more peaceful on such a low-volume night.
Better than I was expecting
The hotel was nicer than I had anticipated. Staff was very friendly as well.
Good hotel to stay in Bloomington
Everything is good, clean and nothing i can complain. Management is great and professional.
nicellulose front desk staff
I really wanted to go for a walk after sitting in a car all day. The front desk was great for showing me on a map how to get to Cascades park, which was only 5 min away. Awesome paved trails and several hiking trails to waterfalls. The breakfast
bar had hard boiled eggs for those who are wanting protein for breakfast. The breakfast area was quickly restocked.
Best Value!
For what I paid for this was by far the best experience I have had. Room was clean, staff was more than courteous (frankly I have paid double and not gotten this kind of service). For some reason my room didn't have an iron board or iron so when I
asked for one, staff apologised and I got a new (still in packaging) iron board and iron within minutes! I asked the night manager if I could check out late and without missing a beat I was told absolutely. Motel is without doubt the best value in town.
there for one night
The staff was very nice and welcoming I will deff stay again it I visit the area absinthe
Would not recommend
Unhappy customer
Room was not cleaned, sheets were not changed. It was cheap, that is about all it had going for it
Great place
Asked for a box fan to give us some noise. Wife likes to hear a fan at night. They had one which some places don't so that made it more like home
Everything in Bloomington within in a Hirt drive
More like "Adequacy Inn"
The lady working the front desk was extremely pleasant and very good at her job, but that was the only good thing. For the price we paid, I expected better. The room was warm and humid when we entered -- the AC cleared the humidity, but not until
it got chilly and a nasty odor remained. The staff was obviously aware of the odor since we found two Renuzit air fresheners hidden behind the drapes and the night stand. The bathroom could have been cleaner. One corner of the floor had a lot of gunk build-up. The chrome fixtures were very rusty. There were stains on a bedspread and a towel. The pool water was cloudy and the safety equipment was old and battered. The breakfast room looked clean. The food was OK, nothing special. What bothered us the most was that they had a child vacuuming guest rooms. Next time we'll stay at the Travelodge again -- just as adequate for half the price.

PARIS, February 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Vocalcom, world leader in contact center software solutions, is announcing today that it has partnered with TapCrowd, an innovative mobile apps platform, creating the opportunity to simultaneously power intuitive mobile customer experiences and radically improve contact center performance.

Smartphones, tablets are rapidly changing the behavior of consumers, always connected with a smartphone in one hand, and a briefcase or coffee in the other. Calling, texting, posting, sharing, reading. Companies cannot afford to get left behind. It is now imperative that firms have a road map for the future, for modern, mobile customer engagement.
Vocalcom Mobile is a complete self-service mobile customer engagement platform, bridging the gap between the mobile consumer and the contact center agent. Vocalcom offers business users a complete set of features to engage effortlessly with customers on their mobile devices. Including, a cloud-based drag-and-drop app builder and integrated new contact center capabilities - that includes, visual IVR, WebRTC for face-to-face interactions, real-time profiling and targeting, analytics and instant campaign scripting. Several other business tools are also available, such as a Passbook Coupons and GPS tracking for strategic location-based marketing. Contact Features include real-time, contextual routing, one-touch calling, QR code and website integration. Vocalcom Mobile lets businesses craft their own apps with no technical skills required.
Businesses can expect easily measurable and quantifiable return on investment, as well as reputational or brand-enhancement benefits, from expanding contact center access to mobile devices. The good news is that early adopters who embrace this powerful new channel will have a compelling competitive advantage that dramatically differentiates their brand in the market.
Vocalcom wants to manage the entire customer journey says Anthony Dinis, CEO of Vocalcom. "Self-service features, the contact center, social and mobile have never been intimately connected. We change that today - not only for customer service but also for marketing automation and sales. We even wonder if we should make a difference. The Contact Center will become the Customer Engagement Center. Now the apps become the omni-channel link to the consumer. Personal, relevant, context-aware and direct."
TapCrowd is really excited about this development, says Niko Nelissen, CEO of TapCrowd. Mobile is a huge part of everyday life, more and more companies use mobile apps to stay engaged with customers. "The magic that makes it all happen is big data," explains Niko Nelissen. In order to really understand your customers, you need to capture their behavior, their preferences, their context, and their activities and turn that into real-time actionable insights for the contact center.

For European banking union to succeed, all EU member countries need to be in agreement, Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said on Tuesday.
"You need to have all the players at the table," Lagarde, managing director of the IMF, told students at the University of Amsterdam when asked about Germany's concerns.
The banking union is one of the key projects to improve the economy of the 17 countries sharing the euro. It would help eliminate many of the problems that now hold back the flow of credit needed to finance a eurozone economic recovery.
Germany has shown some reluctance, but Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble signaled a softening of his stance earlier on, saying the euro zone should press ahead on the basis of current law

Emily Maitlis's marathon: the real priority is the chance to stuff your face, guilt-free
Want the Knowledge without revision? Carbonara without waist gain? Get running, says Newsnight's presenter — as she gets ready to race
Related Articles
Published: 11 March 2013
I've worried about my knees and my stamina. Panicked about boredom and heart seizure. But the one thing I've been stupid enough not to consider — the one thing that is now a very real possibility — is my first marathon will be cancelled because it clashes with a Papal Conclave. I booked my place in the Rome Marathon last September without considering that an event that last occurred 600 years ago — the resignation of a pope — might scupper my chances of seeing the finishing line.
I'm not as worried about this as the friend I am running with — the Rome correspondent for the Telegraph — who fears he should be witnessing rather than participating in what feels like a day of Dan Brown meets Four Lions.
We are imagining a haze of white smoke and purple Lucozade, tannoyed dance music blaring out a Latin mass. Or, as he put it: "I think the charity cardinal costume is probably a no-no this time around."
Rome, of course, is no random choice. It has been selected for the quality of carb-loading we can do, pre and post. After all, the underlying priority of any marathon runner — whether they admit it or not — is the chance to stuff your face, guilt-free, with the blessing (as we say in the Eternal City) of the world.
As soon as I started training I realised marathon runners are like learner drivers. You don't notice them until you start — then they're everywhere. Half the BBC has run a marathon — all my Strictly-Come-News anchor friends (Sian/Sophie/Susannah) are marathon pros and the DG, I suspect, runs marathons in his sleep.
Last September I did the Oslo half-marathon, for practice. In November, I ran off my Washington jet lag around the Lincoln memorial while memorising swing states for the presidential election. And then the grey-grim UK winter training began.
People talk to me about heart monitors and gel belts, iPod armbands and camelpacks. I know I don't want anything around my chest and I'm sure I don't want intravenous cane syrup but I daren't say that out loud for fear of sounding like a freak. The only thing you need, I've found, is an iPhone with a mapped-out route ticking down the miles, and conversation to make three hours seem like 40 minutes. I'm lucky to find mates to train with who almost make it seem fun.
Once we started in earnest I made my biggest discovery: London. I've lived here for 12 years, I've anchored London for the BBC, I've even seen my face on London buses — albeit disconcertingly in moustachioed graffiti. And yet, in the past six months, I've learnt that I do not know my city. I can recite you the Central line Tube stops off by heart — and I can tell you which routes a black cab must take to avoid the One Hyde Park snarl-up — but there is much of London I have never seen.
I relearn each distance in miles instead of commuter minutes. I can tell you home to Richmond Park is six miles, so you need to do that and the full perimeter of the park if you want to cross off a half-marathon. I know the trip from my boys' school to the Millennium Dome is 16 miles and, frankly, once you've run to the Dome there's nowhere further to go. And just when my running mates and I feel we have exhausted every street, one comes up with the best discovery yet: the canal, which offers you the chance to run miles of traffic-free London from Heathrow to Limehouse.
Despite promises to the contrary, the training has not taken a pound off my weight — it has sharpened my appetite, made me eat carbonara for breakfast and given me a Knowledge worthy of any London cabbie. If it all sounds like fun, well, that was the good bit — but I'm under no illusions about the race itself. I am scared of the sound of 26 miles, scared of taking longer than Ed Balls, scared of failure and of having to admit it to you here.
In fact, the more I think about it, perhaps the cardinal's costume isn't such a bad idea after all …

The Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) selected Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc. (VHB) to provide planning and operations simulation services for its proposal to introduce bus rapid transit (BRT) along Broad Street, a major downtown corridor.
This will be the GRTC's first BRT operation and is anticipated to simplify operations and reduce congestion on Broad Street, while improving service to GRTC's riders.
The VHB team will create an operational definition of the Broad Street BRT system, and then use traffic simulation, travel-demand modeling and traffic engineering to assess its potential operational, ridership and street traffic implications.
The planning and operations simulation will take one year to complete and be coordinated with an alternatives analysis that Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation has planned for the same BRT project.
VHB is a 900-person firm that provides integrated transportation, land development and environmental services from 18 offices along the east coast.
The session, sponsored by Q'Straint, will surely inspire participants as Aesch will bring to life stories from lessons learned during his many years as a transit management leader and innovator.
The changes are aimed at improving bus operations and reducing congestion in the terminal that can stretch back out into the inbound Lincoln Tunnel and beyond.
The 8.3-mile route, with a proposed 27 stops, would replace the Capital Area Transportation Authority's current Route 1 from downtown Lansing to the Meridian Mall. Results from the plan's environmental assessment study are expected to be shared at a public hearing this fall.
Left on purpose without upholstery option, each double seat weighs only 45 lbs. yet provides an optimum of comfort for riders through its ergonomically formed design. The slim contour of the seat's back offers a maximum of legroom for passengers and enhanced accessibility getting in and out of the seat.
The latest equipment purchase in a 33-year relationship, the $395 million order for clean diesel, cruiser-style coaches will offer NJ TRANSIT riders three-point seatbelts and comfortable forward-facing seating for 57 passengers.

Intern Designs Plankton Exhibit at Jennette's Pier
Lisa Callister, Youth Advocacy Involvement Office Intern (YAIO) at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island and NC State Graphic Design student, was presented with a unique challenge when she began her internship in late May. Jennette's Pier, part of the State Aquarium Division, was in need of educational signage to accompany a 32-point, interactive touchscreen, showcasing varieties of plankton and their importance to the ocean's eco-system. Lisa was ready to meet the challenge. After being briefed on the project by her supervisor and meeting with staff at Jennette's Pier, she dove into "Life in a Drop of Water" full force and developed two sign panels and a title panel to accompany the touchscreen. After designing the panels, she used equipment at the Aquarium to print, mount and prep the signs, then worked collaboratively with exhibit staff to install the signage at the pier. The project has been well received and the public seems to truly enjoy learning about the different kinds of plankton and the wonderful plankton research partnerships Jennette's Pier has with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and First Flight High School's science students. Great job, Lisa!

Understand, in fact I didn't mention it initially because it's extremely hard if not impossible with the exception of potentially the secondary market right now. If given the option I would get the Zug first just because it's practically if not impossible to get. Then I would make sure to get the Doak\Walnut CC version. Very versatile and extremely smart but casual boot.

"Ruination- DIRTNAP "hard drivin' song" "head-banging" I love how this song comes charging out of the gate from the first second! I like the vocal mix of growling/screaming with straight-ahead singing which gave the song something unique, an identity of its own. It didn't sound like every other metal song out there. I like the production with its well-balanced mix, and the guitar solo with its very unusual tone caught my attention, too. The musicianship was superior, and it's obvious that you are passionate about music. I also liked the last minute of the song with the woman talking and then the fading out ending. The only thing I can think of that would make this more interesting would be if there were some kind of refrain or recurrent theme throughout the song that ties the whole thing together, giving it more continuity. Keep up the good work!"

Chidi Mokeme: I Left My New Wife To Revive My Romance
Actor Chidi Mokeme tells 'NONYE BEN-NWANKWO why he is back as the host of Gulder Ultimate Search Season 9 after a break of six years
Hosting GUS 9
I think it was an internal decision. I understand a public poll was held to determine who should be the next host of the Gulder Ultimate Search event. They listed the names of the past anchormen and the public was carried along to make it more interactive. At the end of the day, the result came out and my name topped the list.
When I was contacted, I didn't hesitate to accept it. There was no need to reject it simply because they decided to drop me after hosting the first two editions of the show. In fact, I was privileged to have hosted season one and two of the GUS. I always say that the show is not all about me.
The show is about the opportunities created by the Gulder brand for youths. It was the responsibility of the organisers to determine what direction they want to take. I was very happy when I was given another opportunity to anchor the show. I waited all this while, hoping that it would happen. It eventually happened and I am glad about it.
So I couldn't have felt bitter in any way. My relationship with Nigeria Breweries has been very cordial all the while. Apart from GUS, we have done other things together. The organisers were at liberty to try out any new thing they wanted to do.
Surprise package
I think will keep it a secret until the show begins. You have to wait and let the show be unveiled. But I know it is a different ball game this season. We know the show is going to be a lot more exciting this year than ever. GUS 9 has broken many records already.
No fewer than 30,000 people applied to participate in the show. It is record breaking. It hasn't happened before. So, I know it will be different this year. You just have to sit down and watch it.
The contestants
Each of the contestants is a potential winner. They just have to go out there and prove themselves. Any one of them can become a winner. It is possible for a girl to win this time. Last year, a girl almost won. She was standing on the treasure and she didn't know it.
Maybe she didn't think it was possible and right under her nose, somebody else came and took the treasure. That is the kind of surprise we have to watch out for this year.
My new wife
I knew I just got married and here am I in the jungle. But I know my wife will cope. She has been coping. I need to revive my romance with the jungle. Even then, this is what I have signed up for.
This is my routine and she knows it. She appreciates what I do and she will cope. The days are long gone when I appeared on TV just for appearance sake. If I need to be on TV, I need to do something that is fulfilling, that would want you to wake up in the morning and go to work. I choose the kind of things I do now.
My wife is a 'double' doctor. She is a Pharmacist and medical doctor. I say it with pride. Our careers are far apart, but we understand each other. I knew she was the woman for me from the moment I saw her. She never knew I was an actor. I met her four years ago.
I met her outside Nigeria. She is a Nigerian, but she is a American by birth. Marriage happens when it wants to happen. It was time for me to get married and I got married. Before now, I hadn't the opportunity to get married. Maybe it was because I had other things on my mind. It finally happened when it happened.
Selling s*x toys
I am a model, I own a clothes line and a studio. Why are you interested in the shop for sex toys? Only those who are interested in sex talk about s*x toys. S*x for me is something you keep behind closed doors. It is not something to be discussed in public. I have not told you that I sell s*x toys. So I cannot tell you if I make money selling them.
Brand ambassador
I started as a model. My job was to represent brands. This brand ambassadorship is becoming popular two decades after we have been involved in it. It has caught on. Some of my colleagues are now being endorsed by one brand or the other. I have my own fair share of the endorsement deal.
I am brand ambassador of a telecommunications company called Zodaphone. Many things are happening underground. Things will reveal themselves in time. We have graduated from modelling to endorsement. I am a brand and I do endorsements now.
My acting career
I don't think I will quit acting. There is no retirement age when it comes to acting. As the year goes, the opportunities available to you keep changing. I am not going to quit acting. My principles have remained the same. The things that inspired me to act in a movie haven't changed.
The story must be relevant. It can be a story that I must relate and connect with. From that, I go to the crew. I must know the people I am working with. If they are people I can work with, then we are cool before we start talking about the fees.
I am not expensive. It depends on the project. You cannot put a limit on the arts. I can do a film free-of-charge and I can do another for a billion naira. I have a production outfit as well. I am sure as soon as we are out of the jungle, I will go back and meet with my people.
My parents gave me the opportunity to acquaint myself with the whole of Nigeria. I had my primary education in the West, I had my secondary education in the North and I had my tertiary education in the East. I have always been a roving person. I will give my kids that opportunity to know all parts of the world too. I understand Yoruba and I have appeared in a couple of Yoruba movies. I also speak Hausa. Of course, I speak Igbo. If you pay me now, I can speak any language.

SC to examine RTE impact on private schools
New Delhi: Refraining granting a stay, the
SC on Monday agreed to examine the validity of the
provision of Right to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act
which mandated 25% of reserved seats for economically
backward sections in private unaided schools.
A bench of Chief Justice SH Kapadia, justices KS
Radhakrishnan and Swatanter Kumar did not favour at the moment
the idea of referring the matter to a Constitution Bench.
"At the moment we are not going to stay the statutory
provision. We are not passing any order," the bench said when
Additional Solicitor General Indira Jaising urged the court to
refrain from passing any order on the plea of private schools
challenging the provision and seeking a stay.
Senior counsel Harish Salve, appearing for a
consortium of private schools, however, maintained that the
organisation was not pressing for a stay but suggested that
the matter be examined by a Constitution bench in view of its
impact on the rights of private educational institutions.
The Chief Justice said the court cannot refer the
matter to a Constitution bench as it was hard pressed with
other work and would only prolong the hearing.
He, however, said the three-judge bench would initially
examine the matter and only if warranted refer it to a
Constitution Bench. The matter was posted for further
hearing to Friday.
Earlier, the ASG said the Act has been formulated in tune
with the constitutional provisions of equality and providing
free education to the underprivileged.
The main petitioner Society for Un-aided Private Schools,
Rajasthan, and a host of associations representing various
private schools have questioned the validity of the Act on the
ground that it impinged on their rights to run the educational

Here is a little Thank You for your continued support of my work – both the official and unofficial varieties – in the form of no less than 18 Matt Pop Mash-Ups, uploaded for you as WAV files; the best-sounding versions of these mixes you will find anywhere. Some have been shared before, others will probably be new to most of you (even if they were made between 5 and 10 years ago in some cases). A little note about Beyoncé: she features three times in this give away, not because I am a massive fan of Ms. Knowles (I'm not) but simply because at the time I started doing mash-ups, I was always looking for good, clean, official a capella's, and hers were floating around on The Net in abundance. Plus, I really like the way those mixes turned out. These mash-ups are unofficial, uploaded for your personal enjoyment, so please be courteous and don't share, sell, re-post, or upload as your own work (all that has happened to me in the past). Enjoy the tunes! Matt Pop. ***DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE FOR ONE WEEK ONLY; FILES WILL NOT BE RE-UPLOADED. EXPIRY DATE JULY 20, 015***Download link: http://we.tl/huKn7JEeZA
The long awaited album NIGHTLIFE by Hazell Dean is released digitally today (Xbox Music, Amazon, Google Play, iTunes). Both the 17-track download version and the 2-disc, 24-track CD edition, include 6 Matt Pop remixes plus much more goodies by Dean and Ware, Luke Labarre, Tony Marinello, Ross Alexander, Andy Haldane and Sleazesisters. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZQMAJYO

To Haiti and Back
A crew of friends from Denver traveled thousands of miles to help the children of Haiti, the Western Hemisphere's poorest country, and were profiled in the January 3 feature "The Social Conscience of a Missionary." They brought shoes, school supplies, clothes, money and, most importantly, friendship to Haitians from kindergarten to high school.
And now they're reaching out to more Denverites to get down for the cause.
Tonight at Tonalli, 3810 Pecos Street, the Denver chapter of the International Club of Friendship will present Haitian art and a history of ICOF, as well as how people can get involved in the organization. ICOF members and Westword writer Luke Turf will be on hand to share stories and photos from the recent trip to the island.
The party starts at 7:30 and all caring souls are welcome. For more information call 303-993-8803. -- Luke Turf
