The included breakfast was better than average.
Could just be the time of year, but quite a few roly poly bugs in the room--some dead in the bed, some wandering around. Otherwise this motel was fine.
Clean rooms, balcony overlooking the creek, fairly decent continental breakfast, good sized room and nicely appointed. Seemed quiet - heard no noise from the freeway at all.
Terrible signage - you find the registration desk by accident; long walk across the parking lot to the lobby and breakfast area; even a long walk to the ice machine.
The continental breakfast was probably the worst I have ever seen. They would be better off not doing it. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. I only dealt with them at check in and check out, but those two experiences took way longer than they should have considering I was the only person in line and they acted like I was a bother. I'll take my money to other hotels from now on.
We stayed one night, booking through Kayak.com supposedly the best price but found a coupon at the rest stop for $5.00 less. The sheets were so thin you could spit through them. Old and tired is the best description. We'll miss this stop on our way home.
First off this is stay number 3 of 8 hotels during a 2 week, 2500 mile road trip with my family.. This hotel has been by far the best overall expericience for my family stay!! The hotel had that updated/newer feel, customer service in all aspects (front desk/kitchen staff/housekeeping) was outstanding , the spaciousness / cleanliness of the room, and even the food!! Yes the food, we were greeted upon check in with a free pulled pork dinner along with free beverages, even free beer and wine... The breakfast was even better than any other free breakfast that I usual would just skip but I was so impressed with the dinner I had to at least try the breakfast, needless to say it was great!!
I felt I needed to leave such a raving review because all I did was read these reviews and hope for the best as there was no particular reason for us to stay in Medford other than it was a stop for the night on 1200 mile trip to Portland..This is a legit A+++ rating for this hotel, for anyone stopping in Medford Oregon this is the best value you will find....
That it wasn't our destination hotel, and we could only stay one night..
Service was kind and professional. My kids were welcomed and the room was big enough for personal time.
Clean comfortable room. Great value for the price. Friendly staff
Nice room,liked the covered parking,room was clean and good sized. The breakfast was ok for what it was.
Even with the remodeling going on it was quiet.
They really need to get better coffee,no taste to it at all. Same with the breakfast. Could use a bigger coffee pot.
location and pricing. breakfast and microwave + frig.
bed was old and sunken in the middle.
Close to bus stop, made public transportation a breeze!
Comfortable beds
Nice owners
Smelled like vomit
The staff was friendly. The room was clean. The sheets and blankets were so white they could have been new. The bed was soft and the TV was huge! The best part it was very affordable. If i ever find myself back in medford I will definitely go back.
The room smelled like Indian food. Not a big deal I just got a candle and problem solved.
Absolutely not one thing
Blood stains, cigarette burns, bug residue, broken lock, no fire alarm, dirt, completely disgusting conditions and such a terrible smell.
I beg you - Please do not stay here - my girlfriend and I were traveling from Yosemite to Portland and decided to stay here - after quickly realizing that reviews online are completely fabricated - it was all downhill from here - we literally were scared for our life - we went downstairs to leave and get refunded and the lady at the front had left for the night and left a number which she never answered. We were checking for bed bugs all night - slept in our sleeping bags and piled chairs and tables by the door. I confronted the lady in the morning - no apology - just a smug look and said "oh, I'll look into that" I was appalled - left and promised to make sure that nobody else gets stuck here - PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I will be reporting this place to authorities.
Staff was extremely nice, helpful and kind. I was not afraid my car would get broken into.
Motel was very outdated except for a flat screen TV. Carpet, bathtub, and chair were gross. Curtains needed to be replaced. Walls had obviously been repaired multiple times. It's quite possible the mattress had bed bugs. It seemed like a large population of the guests were semi-permanent and many people were hanging around outside although they did not strike me as unsavory. All in all I would certainly not stay here again.
We liked how close it was to the airport.
We liked the price for the value.
Family friendly
Walking distance for food and river sights
Nice TV's and plenty of channels
Large room with
fridge, microwave, safe
coffee in room
clean towels
Ice machine was in office
we left very early so I don't know if they had any kind of breakfast
did not offer pool towels
Comfy rooms, nice staff, great breakfast!
Close to shopping.
TV guide showed channels it didn't get, the floor felt grimy and the hotel was hard to get to from opposite direction
It was close to the freeway but not too close to hear the vehicle noise. It was close to a variety of places to eat and shop.
Terrific location, great value, large updated room.
Nice water pressure in the shower. No bathtub just a shower stall.
The free breakfast was ok bit that was expected when you don't pay much for the room.
The room was clean,updated and everything was in working order. Breakfast was more than just coffee and pastries.
Liked everything.
Clean and spacious
The modern interior design gave the impression that you were getting a lot more bang for your buck. I loved the bathroom and everything was very clean. The price couldn't be beat!
Clean and remodeled
Heat didnt work
Facility, staff & breakfast all fine, but the disappointment is all from walking out to car to find my daughter's bike, which we had secured only with 2 U-locks through the frames and wheels, gone off the rack on the back of the car in the hotel lot. Who'd thought that a bike that survived the harsh environments of Berkeley and SF would be stolen in little peaceful Medford?
The room was great, the hotel was updated with a great lobby/breakfast set up. The staff were accommodating and nice, and check out was incredibly fast and easy.
Our view was te back yard of a house, which meant we constantly had our window shut.

Lansing, Michigan Drunk Driving Defense Attorney Interview – Part OneAugust 27th, 2012
The Importance of Jury Selection In a drunk driving or operating while intoxicated (OWI) TrialMay 22nd, 2012
The selection of the jurors who will consider the evidence and vote on the defendant's guilt in a Michigan drunk driving or drugged driving case is a critical component of an effective DUI trial strategy.
An OUIL jury will be told more than once by the judge that they are to base a verdict only on the evidence presented in court during the trial. For example, jurors are typically instructed not to research any issue in the trial on the web, and not to visit the scene of the offense. Yet many Michigan citizens who are summoned for jury duty walk into the courtroom with a clear bias against a defendant who is charged with driving while intoxicated or impaired by alcohol or drugs.
Potential jurors are repeatedly exposed to messages that not only warn of the dangers of driving drunk, but also demonize drinking any amount of alcohol and then getting behind the wheel, such as: "you drink, you drive, you lose"; "stay alive, don't drink and drive"; "drink and drive in Michigan and our officers will show you some new bars".
These and other similar slogans have become generally accepted as basic truths, and they typically have broad support among the people who will ultimately decide whether a defendant goes to jail or loses their driving license.
In recognition of this fact, jury selection in a DWI trial may be viewed more realistically as an opportunity to dismiss the people who are obviously biased and to discover which remaining potential jurors would be least open to give the accused a fair trial. Experienced defense attorneys remind the potential jurors that criminal defendants, even in alcohol and drug cases, are entitled to begin their court trial with the presumption of innocence. Both the Michigan and the Federal Constitution require that presumption of innocence (for whatever value that may, or may not, have to potential jurors.)
Before the individual potential jurors are questioned in the jury box by the court and the defense lawyers, they are administered an oath by the court swearing or affirming they will answer the questions posed to them in the selection process truthfully.
Jurors can be challenged for cause, which is generally interpreted as bias (I think all drunk drivers should go to jail) or conflict of interest (one of the lawyers is related, or a close friend, to one of the jurors). If cause is established it is grounds for the juror to be dismissed. There is no limit to the number of jurors who can be dismissed on this basis, because a defendant has a right to a fair trial, and one of the basic parts of a fair trial is an impartial jury.
Both parties are provided a certain number of jurors they are allowed to dismiss for no reason whatsoever, which are called peremptory challenges.
The general rationale regarding juror selection is that the parties in a case are best able to determine what jurors may be subject to a challenge for cause, based on their detailed knowledge of the case. While judges typically ask potential jurors a series of basic questions, not surprisingly the responses will focus on giving judges the "right" answer.
Many judges, however, will allow the attorneys to ask additional questions, which can at times delve into personal, intimate and/or embarrassing issues that people naturally avoid whenever possible. A skillful OUIL defense attorney must have the ability to elicit information in such a manner as to establish a rapport and trust which will increase the likelihood of candid answers from people who have already demonstrated an ability to underemphasize their personal viewpoints.
Attorney-conducted questioning enables an experienced drunk driving attorney to frame questions based on responses to prior questions and allows observation of the jurors' reactions to these questions. Through these carefully crafted questions, answers, and observations, defense counsel can more accurately determine whether actual bias exists in the minds of the prospective jurors and exercise both challenges for cause and peremptory challenges in a rational and informed fashion, in consultation with the client.
Because determining whether a juror is biased is difficult, the questions asked of prospective jurors must be probing enough to allow the parties' attorneys to make meaningful decisions regarding challenges for cause and peremptory challenges.
In an OWI case, few people are ambivalent about drunk driving but many people are reluctant to publicly reveal their true positions. Juror self-assessment of bias is inherently untrustworthy, and the questions from the attorneys are often necessary to reveal bias that is not initially apparent.
Questions may be phrased in terms that encompass others besides the jurors themselves- for example, "have you, a family member or a close friend ever…." This can be important because people are often influenced by family or friends who have experienced difficulties they have not.
Inquiry should be made as to whether or not jurors personally know the judge, court personnel, police officers or other witnesses involved, as well as the attorneys trying the case and even other attorneys in the office of the Prosecuting Attorney.
People who are or know police or corrections officers will often be conservative and law-abiding and have disdain for others who break the rules (laws). Also, many in law enforcement have a "them versus us" point of view, which can cause them to view events with rigidity and in black-and-white terms. If the potential issue is the adequacy of an investigation by a police officer, such a juror can be extremely close-minded and unwilling to consider the defense perspective. It is not uncommon for criminal defense attorneys in Michigan to see a "holier than thou" attitude from police officers.
Additionally, many jurors view law enforcement, state troopers, police officers and deputy sheriffs as inherently more believable than a "civilian" witness, and they find the cross-examination of defense counsel, especially if conducted in an aggressive manner, to be offensive. This bias remains even after the jury is instructed by the judge to look at the testimony from police officers exactly as they look at testimony from all other witnesses.
Nearly everyone has an operator's license and drives a vehicle, while the majority of persons drink alcohol of some type at least occasionally. It is a good idea to know who doesn't drive, and if so, why not, and it is essential to make a determination as to who does not drink alcohol so that follow-up questions can be asked. Some families have members who are substance abusers that have caused themselves or a relative great pain and hardship, and such people are quite set against any alcohol consumption.
Many people know someone who has been a victim of a crime, even if they have not personally. In these circumstances, the Michigan criminal justice system can be seen as either friend or foe- that is, as being helpful in obtaining redress and seeing justice done, or as letting the guilty go free on a perceived "technicality."
Many people have been involved in vehicular accidents, some involving intoxicated drivers. It is not unusual for a number of potential jurors to either have family members or a close friend who was seriously injured, or even killed, in an accident involving a drunk driver. It would be completely understandable for such a person to be bitter or angry about such misfortune, and to want to see "justice" done by punishing the defendant, who is alleged to be a drunk driver.
While most jurors would prefer to hear a defendant's version of events, many of them are, surprisingly, willing to acknowledge the Constitutional right to remain silent. These jurors will accept the fact that this information will not become part of the evidence at trial, in part due to notions of fairness, as between a government with seemingly infinite resources and a defendant with limited resources. Despite all of the talk about a fair trial, experienced criminal defense lawyers know that the playing field is almost never level.
Jurors should be questioned as to their feelings and beliefs about all important issues in the defense that is being presented, such as the conduct of "sobriety" tasks routinely administered on the roadside and the reliability and protocol of breath or blood chemical tests the prosecutor will seek to introduce. Will guilt be established to a juror's satisfaction if a chemical test result over the legal limit is introduced, without more? Can a particular juror be made to understand the many possible errors that can exist with the chemical or breath testing of a defendant? Or is the juror too close minded to even take a meaningful look at the flaws in the testing?
Most importantly, is the potential juror willing and able to keep an open mind throughout the presentation of all the evidence? The prosecutor, who has only the burden of proof, in every criminal trial in Michigan, presents evidence first. The initial information provided to the jury is about the defendant on the date of arrest and will include his or her alleged improper driving, speech difficulty, poor balance and inability to follow simple instructions from the arresting officer,. Testimony will also usually include chemical test results said to be above the legal limit of 0.08 grams or more per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of urine.
Will each juror listen to any evidence of improper driving, for example, without concluding such operation is necessarily due to alcohol consumption? Has that juror ever driven poorly themselves (most likely) and, if so, was it due to intoxication or poor judgment (often the latter) or simply being distracted? Poor performance of "sobriety" tasks will be argued as reliable evidence of impairment, until the jury sees the officer have difficulty performing the tame tasks in the courtroom or they attempt to perform the same task in the jury room.
Similarly, is a juror willing to consider deficiencies in any chemical test results that were offered as evidence of intoxication that are derived from a laboratory that may not be properly certified or that are conducted by poorly-trained lab personnel using equipment that may be defective or improperly calibrated?
In summary, jury selection in a Michigan OWI case is an important tool for a competent and experienced OWI defense attorney to use to "level the playing field," discover and minimize biased potential jurors and increase the likelihood of a not guilty verdict at trial.
Michigan DUI Lawyer – Michigan Court of Appeals Further Defines "Operating" for Purposes of Drunk Driving ChargesMarch 30th, 2012
Though we often refer to drunk driving as DUI or OWI, the truth is that in Michigan, drunk driving is actually called Operating While Intoxicated (OWI). [It is illegal in Michigan to operate a vehicle "upon a highway or other place open to the general public or generally accessible to motor vehicles, including an area designated for the parking of vehicles, within this state if the person is operating while intoxicated."
As you can imagine, there is quite a bit of gray area as to what it actually means to "operate" a vehicle. For example, what if a person is passed out drunk in their driver's seat with car engine running and in gear with their foot on the brake? (The Michigan Supreme Court decided this was "operating" a vehicle in People v. Wood). Or, what if a vehicle owned by the drunk defendant is sitting on the road and causes another car to get in an accident? (The Michigan Court of Appeals held in People v. Lechleitner that the "defendant" was operating the vehicle until he could return the vehicle to a position of safety).
Recently, the Michigan Court of Appeals revisited the legal issue of what constitutes operating a car for the purposes of the OWI law in Michigan. In the case, People of the City of Plymouth v. Brittney Lynn Longeway, a doorman at a martini bar told a police officer that he observed some females hit a concrete barrier with their vehicle when they arrived at the bar and also that they later appeared drunk when leaving the bar. The police officer observed that the female driver had the reverse lights of the vehicle on but then put the car back in park. The car's wheels never moved. The driver was charged with Operating While Intoxicated and she argued that, based on past case law and statutory language in Michigan, she was not "operating" the vehicle. Her argument lost at the District Court level but won at the higher Circuit Court level. The prosecutors appealed, however, and the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that the defendant was "operating the vehicle." In deciding this, the appellate court looked to the drunk driving statute that says operating means being in actual physical control of the vehicle. Starting the car, applying the brakes, shifting gears into reverse, and then putting it back into park are all signs of the driver being in actual physical control, according to this ruling.
Many people ask us why they need a drunk driving lawyer if they blew a .08 or more blood alcohol content on their Preliminary Breath Test or DataMaster Test. It's possible that there may be legal challenge issues in your case, such as whether you were actually or legally operating the vehicle. An experienced OWI attorney can fully examine all the facts of your case and prepare a defense strategy. Contact a drunk driving attorney today.
Guest DUI Blog – What to Do if a Cop Pulls You Over for DUIMarch 23rd, 2012
You're pulled over on the side of a road, with your engine turned off. The reflection of bright lights from the police car behind you irritates your eyes. The police officer on duty stands outside of both vehicles, and checks over the information listed on your license and registration. He begins asking you how many drinks you've had that night. Are you required to answer?
- You have the right to remain silent. The Fifth Amendment makes it completely legal for you to refrain from responding to the police officer's inquiries. Your refusal to answer his questions cannot be held against you in a court of law, but if you choose to answer, then a prosecuting attorney can use the officer's testimony against you. Testimonies based on slurring or stumbling perceived by a police officer can be subjective and manipulated, so it's best to exercise your right to plead the Fifth.
- Stay inside your car unless the officer asks you to get out. Jumping out of your vehicle when a cop pulls you over can send out the wrong message. The police officer might mistakenly think that you are armed and might feel threatened. Whatever wrongdoing he suspects of you will only increase if you are not careful, so just sit still and try not to offend anybody.
- Do not consent to performing field sobriety tests if you feel uncomfortable. Field sobriety tests include having a driver suspected of being intoxicated walk a straight line, balance on one foot, touch his finger to his nose, etc. These tests check for signs of poor coordination before official chemical testing for blood-alcohol level. You are not required to take these sobriety tests if you feel they may be manipulated and used to incriminate you later. You may safely remain silent and refuse.
- Make an informed decision either to take or to refuse chemical testing. Every state has Implied Consent laws which rule that any licensed driver who chooses to operate a vehicle has automatically agreed to chemical testing requested by a member of law enforcement. Chemical testing includes breath, blood or urine tests. In most states, refusing chemical testing will automatically give prosecutors grounds to revoke your license. Sometimes the consequences are more severe. To find out whether it is better in your state to refuse or to submit to chemical testing, contact a local DUI lawyer.
Sometimes a police officer will arrest you on suspicion of a DUI even if you refuse chemical testing. Whatever the case is, consulting a DUI lawyer who has your best interest in mind will ensure that your rights are defended properly. Many citizens convicted with a DUI do not realize that there are many legal rulings designed to protect them. A DUI lawyer has experience using these protections to defend you. He or she can determine whether the test leading to your arrest was properly administered and whether the machine used to convict you was properly calibrated. With legal assistance you have the potential to save your time, money and reputation.

Michigan DUI Attorneys – Man Shows up Drunk in Court and Leads Police on High Speed ChaseFebruary 9th, 2012
Recently, a man was at the 55th District Court in Mason, Michigan on charges of Operating While Intoxicated. The man was in court to enter a plea when the judge noticed the man appeared drunk and asked him to take a breathalyzer test. That is when the man refused and walked out of the courthouse. He got into his vehicle and drove away, hitting an Ingham County deputy in the process. That deputy followed the man onto US 127 North. The man led police officers on a high speed chase with speeds of up to 128 miles per hour, and eventually came to a stop after hitting a semi truck. When police arrested the man, they registered his blood alcohol content as .205, which is almost three times the legal limit of .08 in Michigan. The man is now facing a further OWI charge, a felonious assault charge, and a fleeing and eluding charge.
As top drunk driving defense attorneys, we know that going to court to face a judge on drunk driving charges is unnerving. However, it is never a good idea to consume alcohol before appearing in court. In general, judges like to see that defendants are remorseful for their actions and have learned a lesson. This man is clearly in more legal trouble now than he would have been had he showed up for court sober.
Being charged with drunk driving in Michigan is a scary thing, especially for those people who have never had to face criminal prosecution. That is why it is best to contact a skilled and experienced OWI lawyer immediately. Your attorney can help you with the entire criminal process and will be there with you every step of the way to work towards achieving a favorable outcome.
Michigan Drunk Driving Attorneys — Holiday Season Brought Drunk Driving ArrestsFebruary 1st, 2012
We are officially past the 2011 holiday season, which was a time to get together with family, friends, and coworkers. Many of these gatherings involved the consumption of alcohol. On nights like Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, Michigan State Police and county and local patrol officers were on the lookout for drunk drivers. Judging by the number of calls we have received, many people were arrested for drunk driving during the holidays.
We are often asked, "Will I go to jail for drunk driving?" The penalties for an Operating While Intoxicated case depend on whether this is a person's first drunk driving offense, second drunk driving offense within 7 years of the first, or third drunk driving offense in a lifetime. Sentencing also depends on whether the person's blood alcohol level was high enough to be considered a Super Drunk offense.
Hiring a drunk driving defense lawyer is an excellent idea for those people charged with a drunk driving offense. This is because the attorney may not only argue that the charges should be dropped, but they may also argue against the imposition of any jail or prison sentence. At Kronzek & Cronkright, PLLC, we have successfully kept many of our clients who were charged with OWI out of jail.
If you have been charged with drunk or drugged driving, contact an attorney today.

Michigan DUI Lawyer – Michigan State Police Drunk Driving CrackdownSeptember 19th, 2011
The Michigan State Police recently completed a drunk driving crackdown in Michigan. During such crackdowns, there are more state troopers searching for signs that someone is driving while drunk. Michigan drivers are not subject to sobriety checkpoints, which are legal in other states. However, efforts to crack down on Michigan drunk drivers usually result in hundreds of extra drunk driving arrests.
Though many people typically call drunk driving offenses "DUIs," the actual names of drunk driving crimes in Michigan include Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) and Operating While Visibly Impaired (OWVI). Regardless of the name of the crime, a person convicted under Michigan drunk driving laws can expect to face any or all of the following: payment of multiple fines and fees, loss of a driver's license, jail or prison time, community service, installation of an ignition interlock devise, and random urine tests.
One frequently charged Michigan crime is called Operating with the Presence of Drugs (OWPD). This is where someone uses drugs like Marijuana, Cocaine, Ecstasy, Meth, or Heroin and operates a vehicle on a public road in Michigan. Depending on the drug, officers may be able to arrest the driver if there is even the smallest amount of the drug in the body, even if the driving was not impaired by the drug. Prior drunk driving crackdowns in Michigan have led to numerous arrests for OWPD.
If you have been arrested for a drunk driving crime in Michigan, now is the time to contact a very good drunk driving lawyer. Your lawyer can review your case to determine if the police violated any of your constitutional rights during the drunk driving arrest. Law enforcement is required to follow a strict set of procedures when deciding whether you were intoxicated or impaired while operating a vehicle, and if those procedures were not followed, a top flight Drunk Driving Attorney may be able to use this fact to your advantage.
Our attorneys strive to offer clients the best possible defense. However, as you might expect, our advice is always that people who have consumed alcohol or any substance which impairs their ability to drive should never get behind the wheel.
Michigan Drunk Driving – DUI Could Stop Entry into CanadaSeptember 14th, 2011
When people travel from the United States to other countries, they usually go through some sort of customs, border patrol, or security screening process in order gain entry. Often, that process involves screening people to see if they have any criminal convictions. If so, some countries may not allow the person to enter.
For example, Michigan residents often travel to Canada for vacation or work. For people with a drunk driving conviction, entry into Canada may not be allowed for many years. Ultimately, the border patrol agent conducting the security screening has discretion as to whether to refuse entry. This means that some people with drunk driving convictions may be granted entry without question. Canada allows a person to apply for "rehabilitation" status after a few years in order to be allowed into Canada and may allow temporary permits for some individuals to enter the country for a particular purpose despite a drunk driving conviction. It is always wise to consult with a knowledgeable immigration attorney before traveling to a foreign country if you have any kind of criminal conviction, are out on bond or on probation.
Michigan OWI, OWVI, and OWPD offenses can lead to potential jail time, fines, community service, probation, and more. But the immigration consequences of drunk driving—and all other criminal convictions—can also be quite serious. This is especially true for business travelers, because they may face loss of employment for not being able to gain entry into certain countries.
Our Michigan DUI lawyers regularly represent people who have been charged with Operating While Intoxicated. We understand the complexities of drunk driving defense in Michigan. We have delivered many excellent results to our past clients. Let us put our experience to work for you!
Michigan Drunk Driving – Former NBA Star Jalen Rose Sentenced to 20 Days of Jail Time for Drunk DrivingJuly 28th, 2011
Jalen Rose—born and raised in Detroit, Michigan—played NCAA basketball for the University of Michigan, where he was a member of the famed "Fab Five." He then went on to play in the NBA for 13 seasons. In March, he was arrested in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, on drunk driving charges, to which he pled guilty in May.
On Wednesday, July 27, Jalen Rose was sentenced to 20 days in jail for drunk driving. Judge Kimberly Small presided over the sentencing in the 48th District Court in Oakland County, Michigan. To skilled Michigan DUI attorneys, she is known for being tough on people who drink and drive. Judge Small told Rose at his sentencing, "I don't care if you want to get drunk — have at it. I do mind when you get behind the wheel of a vehicle and use it in a way that can kill all of us."
In Michigan, the most common drunk driving crimes are called Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), Operating While Visibly Impaired (OWVI), and Operating With the Presence of Drugs (OWPD). If there is a minor in the vehicle at the time of the violation, the driver will most likely also receive Child Endangerment charges in Michigan. Depending on whether this is a person's first, second, third, or subsequent drunk driving offense, the penalties vary. For Jalen Rose, this was his first drunk driving offense, and it would have been quite possible for Rose to be given a sentence that included no jail time. Rose's lawyers have publicly stated that they feel Judge Small abused her discretion by making an example out of such a public figure.
If you have been charged with a DUI crime in Michigan, you need to hire an attorney who is skilled at defending such cases. Fortunately, the attorneys at Kronzek and Cronkright have over 80 years of combined experience practicing criminal defense in Michigan, which includes drunk driving defense. We have delivered very favorable results for our clients all over the state of Michigan.

Services' dramatic win tests nerves of admirable Crichton
Posted: September 10, 2012|
Devonport Services…24 Truro…17
NEW Services head coach Bryan Crichton is going to need some powerful tranquillisers if he has to watch many more matches like Saturday's.
Services took total control for the first 11 minutes at the Rectory, proceeded to try to throw the match away, then rampaged back to draw level with the visitors, missed a chance to retake the lead and eventually claimed their first win of the season just as the referee was thinking about blowing the final whistle.
Matt Anstis was the early attacking spearhead of a Services side who looked sharper than Sheffield steel from the off, nailing three penalties to give Devonport a 9-0 lead.
Truro took the game back by the scruff of the neck, scored a penalty of their own, a pushover try which the Services defence seemed powerless to prevent, then scored almost a carbon copy of the first to take a 17-9 lead.
Last season, Services squandered a 13-point lead and lost to Truro with the last kick of the game. History seemed to be repeating itself, but with far more time left on the clock.
Crichton, who took over from former head coach Trevor Brazier in the close season, could be heard urging his players to play simple rugby.
There seems little doubt that he repeated himself in far more eloquent terms at the interval, because Services came out a different team.
Crichton has to take a lot of credit for that, as he jiggled his side about to give it a bit more steel in the centre, but Truro still seemed likely to hang onto their lead as the weather got hotter and Services displayed an annoying tendency to give away sloppy penalties after they had worked their way into promising situations.
Just as the spectators – and probably the players – were thinking about a cool drink in the bar as nothing particularly exciting was happening on the field, something did.
Winger Matt Morrison, who deserved something from the game for his sheer industry and willingness to take the heavy hits his position attracts, got on the end of a penetrating Services break.
Morrison won the footrace to the line to touch down and although Anstis missed the conversion – his single failure of the day up to that point – Services were back in it at 17-14 down.
At that stage, few people would have sniffed at a losing bonus point, but Anstis made up for his conversion miss after Truro – visibly tiring in the heat – were the authors of their own misfortune.
They gave away a penalty wide out left and Anstis slotted his kick over from a tricky angle to tie the match.
Services wouldn't be Services if they didn't leave their supporters without teeth-marks in their hearts and when they conceded a kickable penalty, Truro were odds-on to snatch back the lead.
They didn't, their effort floating harmlessly wide of some charmed Services uprights and Anstis was handed a similar chance at the other end of the field, which he promptly missed.
The ball was batted up and down the field by both sides anxious to keep what they had and it became a question of who was going to wilt from the effects of the heat or the pressure first.
Services, who had wavered on the edge of defeat for much of the game, decided it was going to be the visitors. For almost the first time, the home pack battered their opposition into submission, driving into the red zone and allowing flanker Dylan Crossey, who was somewhere under a pile of bodies, to touch down. Anstis converted to make absolutely sure of the points.
Head coach Crichton admitted that his side had been trying to play too much rugby rather than getting the job done.
Of his first Western Counties win – the opening match saw Services lose 10-9 at Wellington – Crichton said: "It feels amazing, although I think I'm going to have to get some beta-blockers.
"The guys did well – they're still gelling as a team, but I was pleased with the way they worked hard to get back into it."
Director of rugby Dave Oakley said: "The Truro game here last year, when we threw away a 13-point lead, was the turning point in our season.
"We'd just won four games on the trot and we were in good spirits, but we never quite got that back afterwards."
Honiton…17 Tavistock…21
MIKE LEWIS' Tavistock side got off the mark at the second attempt – but the head coach reckons there's still more to come from his team.
Tavvy, back in Western Counties West courtesy of winning Cornwall-Devon last season, were 13-8 up at the break and 21-10 ahead with 10 minutes to go before succumbing to a late Honiton try.
The visitors' winning platform was built by tries from Simon Braithwaite – promoted from the second team – Mark Friend and Charlie Furnival. The rest of their points came from the trusty boot of fly-half Richard West.
Lewis, however, admitted Tavistock started slowly in un-rugby like hot weather conditions.
He said: "It was boiling hot and we were a bit sluggish, although they (Honiton) were slower to start than us. However, we lost the first five games last season and so far we've got one loss and one win, which isn't too bad.
"Our set-pieces were fantastic, as they were last week, but with 10 minutes left, we gave away a succession of penalties and Honiton scored with the last play of the game, so we gave them their bonus point."
The former Plymouth Albion man added: "It's early doors yet to say whether we will be comfortable in this league.
"We didn't play as well as we can do, although we battled for the full 80 minutes, which we didn't do last week.
"There were positives from the game and over the next few weeks we will keep building on those positives."
Ivybridge…18 St Austell…24
BRIDGERS' senior coach Neil Thomson asked his team for a performance against a side many fancy will be competing for honours this season – and got it.
What he and Ivybridge didn't get at Cross-in-Hand on Saturday was a decent rub of the green, although they picked up a useful losing bonus point.
Almost right on the whistle, Ivybridge were pushing hard while the visitors were constantly infringing as they tried to keep their opponents out.
Eventually, the referee got fed up with it and sin-binned two of the Saints players. Ivybridge, who were virtually camped on the visitors' goal-line, felt they should have been awarded a penalty try, but that was not forthcoming.
Thomson, however, was delighted with the application of the home team, although he was disappointed his side didn't come away with anything more than a losing bonus point.
Last season, St Austell were the visitors in Ivybridge's first home match and completely rolled over their hosts. This time, even the Saints admitted they were fortunate to leave with a win.
Thomson said: "I'd said before the match that I wanted a performance from the team, even if we didn't win and I certainly got that. I was absolutely delighted with the performance.
"The players are disappointed, naturally, because they felt they should have won the game. But I would say that it's no disgrace to lose to a team like St Austell, who are going to be up there this season.
"I also think that, despite the fact we've got a very young team, we are going to be able to compete in this league, win, lose or draw. We are going to give it a go this season and the players believe that too."
The Bridgers were 12-5 up at the interval, thanks to tries from Jordan Anderton and George de Mendonca and a conversion from Luke Martell.
St Austell hit back in the second period, feeding off Ivybridge mistakes to go 17-12 up. Martell kept Ivybridge in sight of their opponents via his kicking – his tally included a late drop-goal.
But despite a furious assault on Saints territory at the end, Ivybridge didn't quite have enough to get over the visitors' goal-line.

Great looking but flimsy
I am a huge overstock fan and have found some great buys here, but I think this one is a miss. For the price I expected something more substantial. It arrived faster than I expected and was not too difficult to put together with one other person, but the wood feels very flimsy. I would expect a king size bed to have a more substantial center support system. While this bed looks great (just like the pics), I will be amazed if it lasts longer than a year. The wood is thin, the supports feel like they could easily break in half- would prefer them to be metal rather than wood. The headboard is unstable. I liked the cushioned look for leaning on to read in bed, but I don't feel comfortable doing that for fear it will break. Overall, if I hadn't already assembled this, it would be going back. It is worth maybe half the price I paid. :(Read More

Farmhaus Crashes Cards Celebratory Clubhouse
Categories: This Just In
|Via Twitter
|Eric Scholle of Farmhaus with World Series MVP David Freese
Let's back up: How did chef and owner Kevin Willmann -- he of Food & Wine magazine's "Best New Chefs" Class of 2011 -- and three of his Farmhaus cohorts find themselves in the bowels of Busch Stadium in the aftermath of one of the greatest nights in St. Louis sports history?
"It was all chef's idea," says Eric Scholle, Farmhaus' jack-of-all-trades (and recipient of RFT's "Best Service in a Restaurant" in 2011).
|Kevin Willmann, owner and chef of Farmhaus, Food & Wine Best New Chef - Midwest, mondo Cardinals fan.
"We were all jacked up," Scholle says.
As Scholle was tending to front-of-house business at the bar, Willmann came up to him and said, "We're going to try to get in."
The plan wasn't entirely far-fetched. Once they reached the stadium, Scholle explains: "We kind of knew enough [already] to say the right things."
Scholle, Willmann and two cooks threw on their kitchen whites and loaded up three sheet trays with individually wrapped portions of the restaurant's signature meatloaf. They fought traffic to get as close as they could to the stadium -- not as close as they would have liked, of course, since they had to carry all that meatloaf -- and hoofed it to a gate, where they told the attendant that they were "there to bring reinforcements."
"We looked really official," says Scholle. "We get in there, we walked very fast, we asked 'Which way to clubhouse.'"
Once they made it to the clubhouse, they found the array of steam tables amidst the postgame spread and got to work dishing up the meatloaf. Scholle says he recognized a few players milling about the throng of team officials and family, including Arthur Rhodes and Jaime Garcia.
Then, Scholle says, laughing incredulously, "Matt Holliday walks up and says, 'What do we have going on here?"
The Farmhaus staff plated meatloaf for the outfielder -- no, wiseasses, he didn't drop the plate -- and his wife.
"Then, more or less, they kind of realized we weren't supposed to be there. We're sitting there in the kitchen, [and they say,] 'Yeah, Farmhaus, we dont know how you got in there, but it's time to go.'"
But the Farmhaus crew's night with the Cardinals wasn't over yet. "On the way out," Scholle says, "I saw David Freese walk out of the training room."
The new Mr. October graciously posed for photos and signed a paycheck.
"We hooted and hollered," Scholle says of the ride back. "We couldn't believe it."

Downloading Final Cut Express from the Adobe Website?
New Mac user here ....
Am I overlooking something? Is there any major disadvantage from downloading Final Cut Express from the Adobe website?
$50 there vs $200 in store?
1. Adobe does not sell Final Cut Express.
2. You cannot get Final Cut Express from the real Adobe web site.
3. That is not the Adobe website. This is Adobe's website.
4. That is some Russian or former soviet block country or China website selling pirated software. They have not paid a penny to Adobe, Apple or anyone else for the software they are selling.
Read the fine print- some of these sites use to tell you right in their FAQ section that you could not register the software with the developer or get updates from the developer - everything has to be done through them. Now they've removed that part and only tell you that you can do that unless it says otherwise in the text file you get after you give them your money, which of course, that's what it'll say. Because if you go to register or update, the software will likely not work again.
And yeah, that was me that removed the link from your post.
Glad I asked. Thanks!!!!!

La La Vasquez's wedding is just a week away and with most of the wedding prep behind her, it's time for her to wrap up a few tiny details, starting with one huge detail: the dress. As we learned the first week of La La's Full Court Wedding, La La already has a custom-made Vera Wang dress, but she's found a pink dress she likes even more…
The first stop is lunch with Ciara, who laughs at the idea of walking down a red aisle with a hot pink dress, but tells La La to just go with her gut. So La La goes back to the store to meet with friend Lyn Price, who is siblings with Venus and Serena Williams (if you couldn't tell by her well-defined biceps). Price is a little more blunt in her assessment:
But even Lyn's look can't sway La La in either direction. So La La puts the decision on hold for something a little less stressful: her bachelorette party in Las Vegas. Throwing her party are Kelly Rowland and Kim Kardashian, who promise her a low-key weekend of spa treatments and dinner, since lots of her friends couldn't make it out. In the clip above, Kim and Kelly surprise La La with her real bachelorette party, complete with all of her friends, an emotional dinner, and a trip to Tao nightclub, where they finish out their fun, (and to La La's relief) stripper-free weekend. She'll have to answer to her personal trainer Gunnar about everything else.
Back home La La must finally make her decision. With her cousin/maid of honor to help, she tries on both dresses one after another. Dice sees La La in the second dress, the Vera Wang, and starts to tear up thinking about how that'll be the way she will look on her wedding day. It looks right to her. Dice hasn't worn a dress in nearly ten years, so while her taste in dresses is up for debate, her love for La La isn't. Looks like Vera wins.

4 On-The-Fly Collaboration
This section contains information on starting and running a dynamic collaborative session. These types of sessions are characterised by users dynamically altering the visualization map as they explore their data, adding and removing shared data objects. It is assumed that collaborators are able to communicate as a group using either a videophone system for shared video and audio, or perhaps a shared text tool or even just a telephone.
4.1 Step 1 – Start a COVISA Server
The first step in running any collaborative session is to ensure that there is a single COVISA Server running on a machine that all participants have network access to. The COVISA Server can be started from the IRIS Explorer program group available from the Start menu or by opening an MS-DOS window and running %EXPLORERHOME%\bin\COVISAServer.exe. See Section 2.1 for a full description. Once the server is running proceed to step 2 having made sure that all collaborators are aware of the name of the machine running the server.
4.2 Step 2 – Connect to the Session
All collaborators need to be running a copy of IRIS Explorer on their own machine. They then need to each launch a copy of the module MServer found in the Collaboration section of the Librarian (see Figure 4-1).
When the module is launched a number of fields may need to be completed or altered (see Figure 4-2). First check that the slot marked COVISAServer Machine contains the name of the machine running the COVISA Server as set in Section 4.1. Check the slot marked UserName to ensure it contains the name you wish to use in the session. It is best to choose a unique name for the session to aid identification. Check that the slot marked COVISAServer Port contains the port number that the COVISA Server is using. This value is set to a default of 5127 at installation time so it probably will not need to be altered. The default server mode is On-The-Fly, this is the mode that you should be using for this type of session. Finally, press the button marked Start to connect to the collaborative session. Once the MServer module has made the connection to the COVISA Server, the COVISAServer Machine, COVISAServer Port, UserName and Start widgets will disappear, and a new widget called Conference List will take their place. In this widget will appear your own username and the names of all the other collaborators in the current session. The Group Join/Find widget will remain empty.
4.3 Step 3 – Starting a Collaborative Module
Collaborative modules, in the main, are designed for sharing data and control parameters between separate instances of IRIS Explorer. It is easier to demonstrate this using a map that is already running, so for the purposes of this example we shall use the cfd map. Open the folder called Maps in the Librarian and launch the cfd map into the Map Editor. Ask your collaborator(s) to do the same.
Now that the cfd map is running, we can begin to think about collaborating. First of all maximise the IsosurfaceLat module. On its user interface is a dial, called Threshold, that controls the value of the isosurface that will be extracted. This widget value is passed within an IRIS Explorer map as a cxParameter datatype. To share its value between sessions we use an MShareParam module. Look in the Collaboration folder of the Librarian for the MShareParam module and launch it into the Map Editor. When its control panel appears, press the Initiate button to connect it to the COVISA Server (see Figure 4-3). Your collaborators' IRIS Explorer sessions will automatically start corresponding MShareParam modules which will connect themselves to the COVISA Server. There is no need for them to launch an MShareParam module or press any buttons on modules launched on their behalf.
Wire the output from IsosurfaceLat labelled Threshold to the input of MShareParam labelled In_Param1 (see Figure 4-4). Ask your collaborators to wire the output from their MShareParam modules labelled Out_Param1 to the input of their IsosurfaceLat modules labelled Threshold. If you now alter your dial, labelled Threshold, this value will be passed to the Threshold dial of your collaborators' IsosurfaceLat modules. You are now able to control the isosurface being calculated in all of the connected sessions.
If your collaborators now wire the Threshold output from their IsosurfaceLat modules to the In_Param1 input of their MShareParam modules, and you wire the Out_Param1 output of your MShareParam module to the Threshold input port of your IsosurfaceLat module, then the Threshold value will be under dual (multiple) control (see Figure 4-5). Ask one of your collaborators to alter their dial value and see your dial, and hence isosurface, change in response.
Any of the other widgets on the IsosurfaceLat module may be similarly shared using this process. Care should be taken that the widgets of all the IsosurfaceLat modules are connected to corresponding MShareParam port numbers. E.g. the widget Smooth? uses input and output ports 2, Flip Normal? uses input and output ports 3, etc., etc.
If you wish to share the widgets of other modules, then launch further MShareParam modules and wire the widget ports up appropriately.
4.5 Step 5 – Collaborating over Geometry
Now that we can share control of module parameters, and share the different datatypes, we can consider collaborating over the visualized result. One important tool that is included in this release is the shared pointer module which we can use to indicate precise points in the 3D scene that we wish to discuss with our collaborators.
From the Collaboration folder in the module Librarian launch the module MSharePointer. Press the Initiate button to connect it to the COVISA Server in just the same way as the previous data sharing modules. Your collaborators' environments will automatically start corresponding MSharePointer modules and connect them to the COVISA Server. You should now wire the output from MSharePointer labelled Pointer to the input port on Render labelled Input. Also wire the output port on Render labelled Pick to the input port on MSharePointer labelled Position. The MSharePointer module is now wired appropriately (see Figure 4-7).
Set the Render module into the appropriate picking mode (see Section 188.8.131.52) and then click on an object in the scene. The MSharePointer module will create a pointer shaped geometric object and place it at that point in the scene, as well as sending this pointer to the other connected MSharePointer modules. This means that you are able to place a pointer object at the same position in the rendered scene of all collaborators, hence allowing the collaborating group to identify specific points of interest. Now ask one of your collaborators to click a different point in the scene and watch as a new pointer object appears.
For this map you may need to set the pointer size to be around 0.4 using the Scale widget. Also, for identification purposes, it is best for each collaborator to set the Color widget to a different colour name. This means that pointers generated by different collaborators can be easily distinguished.
4.6 Step 6 – Ending a Session
Collaborators are free to leave a session at any time. When the last collaborator leaves, the COVISA Server will reset its group numbers and tidy up empty groups etc. The COVISA Server process may be terminated at this time. It must not be terminated while other users are collaborating or the session will be destroyed.
You may be able to obtain more information on using collaborative modules at the IRIS Explorer Centre of Excellence or IECOE web site, as the information at this site may be updated from time to time.

The editors of Boneshaker believe that the bicycle, when conceived of and used appropriately, can become a tool for social change and community building. And though bicycling has become, for better or worse, an activity tied to radical undertones and bohemian implications, we are less interested in those types of categorizations and more so with simply riding bicycles to get where we are going.
This almanac is, therefore, a collective ode to the ride itself, that fundamentally lonesome experience one has in the saddle, and the results of repeating that ride over and over in different directions on different days with different destinations in each instance.
With interviews of respected members of the bicycling community, as well as profiles of bike-related grassroots organizations and individuals, not to mention essays, graphs, lists, letters, charts, maps, poems, schedules, manifestos, drawings, art, and stories, Boneshaker attempts to shine light on utilitarian bicycling.
Modeled loosely after the War Department's 1941 Soldier's Basic Field Manual, Boneshaker fashions itself to be the practical bicyclist's literary periodical-style handbook.
Boneshaker always welcomes literary bicycle-related submissions. Please send your work as a Word document attachment via email to: email@example.com. If you are submitting artwork, send attachments as jpgs, gifs, or pdfs.
Praise for Boneshaker:
"Boneshaker is a slim, eclectic, and quirky pocketbook, designed as a companion for you and your bike…It is delightful." ~ Terry Lowe, Momentum: The Magazine for Self-Propelled People
"Boneshaker offers insights woven into clever and philosophical accounts of life as a cyclist…a genuine source of realization and knowledge and in many ways a call to arms. Its witty and intelligent prose empowers individual cyclists who may feel isolated. It is a survival guide and a source of inspiration." ~ Brian Riepe, editor of Mountain Flyer Magazine
"A joy to read and useful to boot. Pocket-sized, Boneshaker can be taken with you everywhere you go…There are several very insightful interviews that don't ask the same questions every time, which I found to be refreshing. I give it a big thumb's up—I'd give it two, but I'd have to put my copy down to do it!" ~ Brandon Dowling, One Less Car
"Recently I came across a curious little publication that has restored my faith in small publishing. Called Boneshaker: A Bicycling Almanac, it…appealed to me on a number of levels. Firstly, I get weary of the anti-car sentiment pushed by a few cyclists who cleverly forget that there was usually a fairly significant carbon footprint left behind by the manufacture, shipping, and sales of their cool urban bike. Boneshaker proposes only to be pro-bicycle, not anti-car. Secondly, cycling is ripe for the literary experience, whether it is fixing a flat, riding in the moonlight, or trying not to wreck yourself riding on ice. Most of this is regularly covered in blogform, which is imminently forgotten and tough to carry in your pocket. And thirdly, it gives me something to do in the bar besides make eye contact with other human beings!" ~ The Winter Gentleman, Bullfights and Bicycles Blog
Issue 43-500 will be out soon!
