Everything was wonderful! The room was devine, all staff was kind and wonderful, breakfast was delicious and the grounds were gorgeous!
We love that we felt like we had our own little apartment. We were pleasantly Surprised to find a very contemporary suite with every ammenity you could want.
Location and friendliness of staff.
very well kept property
The room was great. Nice pillows, sheets, sitting areas, everything. My two year old slept in the queen bed and barely moved all night, that's how well he slept.
Room service left off the spoon for the creme brulee at dinner, and the toast at breakfast wasn't toasted... and they left off the breakfast pastries. I recommend being very explicit when ordering.
Loved my view into the woods; it was quiet & the room was larger than normal and comfortable. Staff is nice. We have stayed over the years and enjoy the hotel & less busy location.
I wish I could have used the jacuzzi but it was always full of people. I know the hotel can't control but maybe extend the hours a little when you are so full? I don't get the sense much recycling, or green efforts are being made? I like to see the message about towel re-use & hope my sheets were not washed since that would be wasteful.
I really appreciate & choose hotels, when I can, that are GREEN.
check out the soap progarm, it makes sense.
The Manager straightened out a mistake of mine on the reservation. Thanks Kristen!
Grounds and hotel are very well maintained.
Personnel are friendly and courteous.
Shower drain was slow
The beds were comfortable.
The rooms and hotel was dirty and run down but it was the only place available near Flagstaff. If the hotel put in more effort keeping it clean and training staff it would be much nicer, but it just felt like nobody cared.
We booked online only hours before showing up, and check in was relatively smooth, even though there was a new employee being trained at the desk. The room itself was clean, and the bed relatively comfortable. We only stayed one night, but it was well worth the money, and my husband actually liked this room more than the one we stayed at the night before in San Diego at a historic downtown hotel.
Ice and vending machines are only on the first floor. It took a bit to realize that you have to turn the a/c or heat to "fan" before you can set it to low or high heat/air. The door doesn't shut securely behind you, so make sure you close and lock it after entering your room.
Room was great and people were excellent!
Great hotel. Good customer service.
TINY indoor pool.
Clean and location.
Selection of breakfast.
Room was new and remodeled. Nice and clean
Was not aware until arrival property was under construction. Services were limited
Nice clean and affordable . Free shuttle to downtown.
Not walkable to downtown -
Staff where friendly, room was very clean, excellent view of Flagstaff, perfect location, and comfortable beds.
Loved it would love to stay again!
1. Breakfast bar featuring omlets to order. 2. 'Social hour from 5:00-7:30 PM with free well drinks. 3. Helpful friendly staff. 4. All the amenities you could want.
Great location, but heavy traffic made it hard to enter at times. This is not a new building so some of the features are dated.
Staff very attentive and friendly. Wonderful breakfast to start the day.
Bed was not comfortable at all...
Nice quiet location that is close to many attractions and restaurants. The breakfast selection was better than I expected.
The air conditioning did not blow any air; luckily it was Fall and not too warm. The worst part was the window did not open either. The water in the shower would squeal as it warmed up.
Free breakfast and dinner
Free wifi
Room size and comfort
Barking dogs.
Very rude staff! Arrived at 3 AM and the next morning got threatened to leave there before noon or get charge for another day!
Close to our favorite eatery, Oregano's. Value and cleanliness.
Nothing fancy and fine.

Opinion: After Romney's Despicable Birther Joke, Is Mormonism Fair Game?
Jobs, Medicare, tax returns, and Mitt Romney jokes in Michigan about himself and his wife, "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place where both of us were born and raised."
Granted, Mr. Romney has said he believes Barak Obama is an American and was born in Hawaii. He says that when asked. However the questions about Obama and his background (and religion – is he a Muslim?) are a powerful source of mockery for Republicans.
After rumors that Donald Trump is planning some sort of spectacular media event in Tampa during the GOP convention, a Republicans friend of mine said he heard Trump was going to reveal "evidence" that Obama is not a born citizen and therefore not a legal President. Rumor has it that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, both strident anti illegal immigration advocates will join him.
Reminding people that Obama has a complicated background and that there have been doubts about where he was born is a terrific indirect way of raising the issue of race without actually mentioning his blackness. It's really a sorry state of affairs in a year when the level of campaign negativity is already at an all time high to continue dragging these distractions into the race.
I fear that it may become tempting for the Democrats to bring up Romney's religion, which is to the GOP contender what race and citizenship is to Obama. Mormonism is still mystifying to many Americans and its practices are by no means acceptable or accepted by a wide swath of U.S. voters.
When we discussed this, one of my friends joked that Obama should say, "A reporter asked me this week what kind of underwear I prefer. I wear Fruit of the Loom boxers. I'm not sure what kind of underwear Mr. Romney wears."

Authorities in Pennsylvania arrested a young man Wednesday who they suspect fired a rifle near the White House, the Washington Post reported.
The man, 21-year-old Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, is suspected of being connected to a bullet the Secret Serve found fired into a White House window. He was arrested after police found him at a hotel near Indiana, Penn.
The bullet smashed the exterior glass but was stopped from entering the interior by special anti-ballistic glass, the Associated Press reported.
A second round of ammunition was found outside the White House.
Test have determined that the shots were fired from a distance of 700-800 yards from the White House, Agence France Presse said.
The bullets are believed to be connected to shots fired Friday evening about half a mile from the White House, the Guardian reported, but the link has not been confirmed.
More from GlobalPost: Secret Service nabs White House intruder
Gunfire was reportedly exchanged between two vehicles on Washington's Constitution Avenue shortly after 9pm. Police later found an AK-47 rifle in a nearby crashed and abandoned car.
A warrant for the arrest of Ortega-Hernandez was issued Friday night. He is said to have a history of drug abuse and assaults on law enforcement officers, and was stopped by police in Virginia Friday morning after behaving suspiciously. There was insufficient evidence to charge him, however, so he was released.
US park police spokesperson Sergeant David Schlosser said:
"The actions that Mr Ortega participated in on Friday evening – that being the discharge of a firearm near the White House – is an inherently dangerous activity, and because of that we do want to find Mr Ortega as quickly as possible. At this point, we're not certain what his intentions were."
President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were not in the White House at the time of the shooting.

I just got the shoes today! And I LOVE IT! they are super comfy andI can wear them all day.The quality and look is great. I think these shoes will go well with any outfits. These are my first pair of JC shoes, and now I'm tempted to buy more. I would definitely recommend these shoes to others, even though it is expensive..it is definitely worth it!
I definitely love these shoes. They are very comfortable, despite the high heel. Excellent quality, beautiful shape. I love them. I wear a 5.5-6 UK, size 8 went perfectly. This is a start for your fantasy, they can be worn with any clothing. Ð? recommend these shoes to anyone who wants to look stylish.
I love the look and fit of these shoes. They are so comfortable! When I opened the box, I could smell the leather haha. They fit true to size.I ordered mine a half size up from my normal size because I have wide feet and worried about the fit but they are perfect! I ordered these shoes last Friday and I received them today with just standard shipping. I am so impressed. I used the discount code "TULIP" to get an extra 10% so it was definitely worth the money. I will be ordering more!
I got mine just this morning, which is super fast considering they had to travel the world to get here, i ordered on a monday afternoon EST, they were processed shipped outthe next day and arrived in 5 business days, and i am soooo happy with them! I'm a very small 5'0ft and these give me so much height, it's amazing. I think they really are as comfortable as everyone has made them out to be and true to size, i'm a AUS size 6, i bought a US size 6, and it fits perfectly and i can wear some cute socks with them. However I have skinny feet, and the shoes are slightly narrow, especially around the toes, but this is easily fixed by adjusting the laces, so if you have wider feet you should probably take that into consideration, maybe get half a size up if you want to wear them with some nice thick socks. Anyways they're such a great shoe and will definitely get a lot of wear!

The Gods of Olympus: A Historyby Barbara Graziosi
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An elegant and entertaining account of the transformations of the Greek gods across the ages, from antiquity to the Renaissance and the present day
The gods of Olympus are the most colorful characters of Greek civilization: even in antiquity, they were said to be cruel, oversexed, mad, or just plain silly. Yet for all their foibles and flaws, they proved to be tough survivors, far outlasting classical Greece itself. In Egypt, the Olympian gods claimed to have given birth to pharaohs; in Rome, they led respectable citizens into orgiastic rituals of drink and sex. Under Christianity and Islam they survived as demons, allegories, and planets; and in the Renaissance, they triumphantly emerged as ambassadors of a new, secular belief in humanity. Their geographic range, too, has been little short of astounding: in their exile, the gods and goddesses of Olympus have traveled east to the walls of cave temples in China and west to colonize the Americas. They snuck into Italian cathedrals, haunted Nietzsche, and visited Borges in his restless dreams.
In a lively, original history, Barbara Graziosi offers the first account to trace the wanderings of these protean deities through the millennia. Drawing on a wide range of literary and archaeological sources, The Gods of Olympus opens a new window on the ancient world, religion, mythology, and its lasting influence.
"Durham University classics professor Graziosi offers an engaging, if simplistic, history of the Greek pantheon. She recounts mythic tales, of course, but her focus is on the Olympians' changing cultural role throughout human history. Fittingly, the gods are most prominent as individualized characters, as the archaic Greeks understood them to be human-like deities traversing the 'very real landscape' of the Aegean. Their identities become more abstract as cultural tides subsequently cast the gods as 'strictly literary' allegorical concepts, amoral political allies useful for 'personal advantage,' and 'trivial apparitions' and 'incidental decoration.' Graziosi crosses the centuries elegantly, using the gods' constant presence to suggest that history is an ongoing continuum, era divisions being the somewhat arbitrary constructions of later generations. Disappointingly, this account of the Olympians stops short of the modern era. Though Graziosi insists on their significance to any contemplation of humanity, and even suggests that her work is an addition to an ongoing dialogue, no attention is paid to more recent interpretations, such as the beloved and influential Harryhausen films, among other popular contemporary treatments. Still, it's an intelligent and entertaining examination of the Greek deities' timeless ability to 'express different, human truths.'" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Windows Bible
editor's review
Windows Bible is a simple software application that includes the Bible (King James version) along with pictures and trivia, plus other useful tools.
The installation procedure is quick and does not need special input from the user. Its interface has outdated elements but it is well-organized. You can explore chapters of the Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and so on.
It is possible to set bookmarks, use a search function, play trivia, navigate keywords and find their occurrences in the chapters, view a dictionary, create and open notes, as well as view and edit picture colors.
Windows Bible automatically saves the new settings on exit, but you can disable this option. Furthermore, you can customize font properties when it comes to family, size and emphasis. There are no other notable options provided by this tool.
The application runs on a very low quantity of CPU and RAM, so it does not put a strain on computer performance. Unfortunately, it cannot be minimized to the taskbar or system tray area, so the tool becomes intrusive when not using it. It crashed out of the blue once during our tests, when we selected a new chapter (on Windows 7).
All in all, Windows Bible comes in handy to all people who want to study the Bible on their computer. It includes an intuitive set of options that do not require previous software experience, making it accessible to everyone. However, we must take into account that it has not been updated for a while, though.

Human Development: Traditional and Contemporary Theoriesby Doris Bergen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
For courses in human development, theories of development and development over the lifespan.
Throughout years of teaching various courses in psychology, Doris Bergen struggled with a familiar problem in Human Development classes: the texts available to her did not meet the needs of the types of students in her classes. In teaching students who were primarily working towards degrees in professional practice, rather than those focusing on advanced degrees in psychology, the current texts did not present theoretical work in a way that helped her students translate the concepts into their careers. Here, Doris Bergen has authored a text that does just that. By making the theoretical issues relevant and accessible to students going into professional practice, enabling them to apply theory to case examples, and helping them see which theories are focused primarily on specific developmental domains, this text will give students the edge they need as they move forward in their working lives.
For courses in human development, theories of development and development over the lifespan. Human Development: Traditional and Contemporary Theories helps students acquire a personally relevant understanding of developmental theories and to gain a meaningful understanding of theoretical ideas that will be useful for them in the practice of their professional lives.

with one trial spray at the store, I was mesmerized and I instantly purchased the whole set. Whenever I feel down, I spray Chanel no.5. I can't go to work without a spray of this magic. I love it, and most guys I know love it so much. It's funny how I see guys loving it more than girls do.

What else can be said about this classic? I feel I don't even need to read the 700 plus reviews to know what is in them. And neither will you once you wear this perfume. It feels right to me on every level and needs no introduction or explanation. I love it. And I even love wearing a little too much of it. 5 stars and yes, yes I will, yes, I will buy again and again and again. Or, more accurately, he will.

I love this!!!
Okay seriously this smells sooo wonderful I don't care what anyone says! Granted this was a present so I don't have to worry about price and I probably wouldn't repurchase with my own money, just drop casual hints around birthdays and christmas ;)
One thing I would say is that if you put too much on and find yourself in a tight space, such as a packed car with closed windows, the smell can make you feel very sickly - really people don't use too much, perfume overload is highly, HIGHLY unpleasant.

I adore Chanel No. 5, although I have to wear the eau de toilette version, as the parfum is far too strong for me. The fragrance is warm, and soft, and smells to me like cream soda and champagne and powdery vanilla...I find it very comforting, and love to practically bathe in this stuff. One of my go to scents, that I would wear any time, for any occasion.

I love this perfume on everyone usually, but on me it smells like baby powder only, so I do not use it. As much as I do love baby powder, I rather not spend the big bucks on it. ;-) I have a tiny bottle of the actual perfume that i have had for years & years. It is still like brand new, no fading, no evaporation, no sediments. This in itself speaks volumes about it's purity & excellence. I continue to keep it in hopes that someday, I too will be able to wear and enjoy this fragrance on myself as I enjoy it so much on others...well that reason, and also because the actual perfume is soooo very expensive. ;-)
I wear it's sister perfume Coco, and I have worn it for years. It smells divine one me, IMO. I do wish they all lasted longer though. I have never had a real perfume of this, but maybe someday, and it is supposed to last longer.
All in all, I do love the smell of Chanel No. 5 on most people, and I do know it is well worth the $. For all the ladies that can wear this fragrance well, please continue to do so. It is a real pleasure to my senses.

Believe it or not, I have been wearing this since I was 15. My sister- in- law gave me my first bottle and I have never looked back. Pretty classy perfume for a 15 year old who still wore Heaven Scent! (yah, it was the 60's) It is my 'go to' for special occasions in the summer (cuz I use DKCM daily on hot, humid days)....Chanel tends to be too heavy for hot weather, but when winter comes, it is back on top of the vanity! I just LOVE it , my husband loves it, and ladies at work usually ask me if I am wearing Chanel.(and they mean it as a compliment). It is my signature scent. I feel fortunate that I have been able to pull this off for so many years. Perfumes are so delicate and unpredictable from one person to another. During the past decade, I have discovered that the Body Lotion , alone, does the trick just fine. I treat myself to the #5 soap bar and the whole bathroom floats in Chanel. Wish they made it in a deodorant. It would be heaven, if they would.

At first the ferry was just a hollowed-out log canoe in which Henry Baker (my 9th GGF) carried wayfarers across the Delaware River from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to New Jersey. Horses had to swim and tired travelers were put up in the Baker home. Nearly a century later, in December 1776, General George Washington set up headquarters in a mansion near the prosperous tavern that had replaced Baker's house. In The Tavern at the Ferry, Edwin Tunis recreates the people, houses, and artifacts -- indeed, the whole way of life -- of a vital period in our country's history with his lively text and more than 100 meticulous and evocative pencil-and-wash drawings. He depicts the rhythms of daily life in pre-Revolutionary America, from cooking, eating, and drinking to farming and fishing, and describes how such enterprises as flax oil mills and ironworks operated.
Through Henry Baker (1634-1701) and his family, Tunis tells the story of America's growth in the colonial period and the growing dissatisfaction of its citizens with British rule. More than just set the scene, The Tavern at the Ferry chronicles the dramatic story of the events leading up to Washington's crossing of the Delaware and the ensuing Battle of Trenton, a turning point in the War of Independence. The weeks and days before the crossing were full of intrigue, and Tunis follows the stories of such men as John Honeywell, the patriot double-agent, and Moses Doan, the would-be betrayer, as well as those of the tired but determined troops who turned the tide of war under Washington's leadership. Whether illustrating a dance at a country tavern or soldiers marching across a snow-covered field, The Tavern at the Ferry provides the small, vivid details that bring history to life.

RE: Col William McGehee
I don't know Betsy Clay McGehee's burial. There's a photo of mine (by Mary Ann) I call "spaces" that has a reference to her sister Polly Clay Samuel's obit. "Buried by her dear departed sister" or something like that. So my only guess is the Bush Family Cemetery. (Memorial# 81578377)

Col William McGehee
My Aunt Ty was a serious family historian, and my cousin Anne remembers her saying that Col McGehee died in Tuscaloosa while living with daughter Annie Irving Glascock's family. My new wonderful friend "Carolcg" has sent a photo showing the graves of Annie Irving, sister Mary E Douthit, and Wm McGehee in very close proximity; and I am now confident that that this is his grave (# 92710977). I will post the photo on his page and now ask if you agree. I don't know the procedure and hope you do how to switch his page to Greenwood Cemetery in Tuscaloosa. Please contact me if any questions....

I am pretty sure your Thomas James Ingram Married Nancy Miller. But his birthdate is mixed up with James L. Ingram (8 Aug. 1787) who married a Mary Lee.(abt. 1807). You will notice that Miller was born in 1801. The birth date for your Thomas James was 1787. Thomas James would have been 14 yrs. old.
What is so confusing is that Thomas James went by James and all the legal papers I can find on James Ingram was really Thomas James...AUUGH
In Peter Miller's will (dated 31 January 1809) he mentions daughter Nancy and James' boy Miller Ingram. "My beloved wife Polly Miller..my daughters Sally Lockmiller, Polly Buran, Darky Charles, Nancy Ingram and Ebby Kepler.my son, Jacob Miller. my two grandsons Pitzer Buran and Miller Ingram" Per Paul Manly, Miller and Rebecca Hagood's first child's name was Jacob. Peter Millers' father was named Jacob. From OneWorldTree in Ancestory.com the person reporting Peter Miller's family said Nancy married a Thomas James Ingram.
Please feel free to investigate on your own. Would enjoy comments if you do find.

Mr. Doland is too generous with his time, I oftened wondered how such a kind man was able to make a living when he's more interested in helping his clients than racking up billable hours! We had a neighbor harassing us, sending us stupid legal letters and after consulting with Mr. Doland he explained my rights, had me secure the correct provisions needed to plead my case to a judge.
Two months later, we never avoided a judge and courtroom because of Mr. Dolands reasonable advice and their attorney realizing he did not have a case nor did he scare me! Next door neighbor ran up a $5,000 bill trying to destroy my First Amendment Rights, God Bless Mr. Doland, I will always use him and make sure he bills me, thank you Mr. Doland!

Michael spent over 30minutes discussing my situation in easy terms for me to understand, gave me multiple options, and was very down to earth and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs advice about business law. I will be using his services in the future.

I found myself having the need to file a breach of contract claim against someone in the Los Angeles area. Being from Seattle, I relied on internet resources to find someone. Mr. Doland came up as my top search result. I gave him a call, it is late in the day (around 5:15pm). I was expecting to leave a message, however, to my surprise, Mr. Doland answered my call.
We spoke briefly about my claim. He advised me that it maybe economically unviable to hire an attorney and I should file a small claim instead. This honesty is refreshing!
While I did not work with Mr. Doland on my case, I am confident to recommend him from our interaction.

Michael was willing to take the time to speak with me, another attorney, to offer helpful advice to further my career. This was done without solicitation. It was a very professional and courteous thing to do. Thank you again, Michael, for your your time.

Michael Doland helped my company answer some specific questions we had regarding trademark law and creative commons licensing. He was thoughtful and concise, resolving all of my company's questions regarding this matter. We will certainly be going back to him for any other corporate legal matters. Highly recommend!

Michael did an excellent job with my business litigation. He helped me fight back in a situation that I previously felt helpless in. He's knowledgeable and a solid negotiator. A good guy to have in your corner!
Posted by Logan
I was approached by an employer regarding a questionable opportunity that would have potentially called for an LLC Agreement. This led me to contact Mr. Doland through avvo.com after hours. Not only did he return my call first thing in the morning, he was kind enough to examine my employer's offer and supply me with extremely solid arguments as to why the opportunity should be avoided. Instead of instructing me to take the deal or at least negotiate it and give his firm the business, Mr. Doland was straight-forward and honest.
Regarding another matter, Mr. Doland went out of his way to supply his recommendation and the contact information of an attorney that may be of great use to my business in the future. Two problems, two solutions, in two days. This guy is worth calling. Thank you Michael.

Michael here was actually the 5th attorney i have called cause i wasn't really understand them very much but Michael cleared everything up for me and made everything so easy to understand. He was so helpful and so nice over the phone, at the same time he had a great sense of humor and made me feel really comfortable over the phone as i was very nervous when i made the call. I highly suggest you giving Michael a call if you have any question. Just know that if i do need to hire a lawyer that the reason of my call, Michael will for sure 100% be the one that I would want to represent me

The apartments at the Ansonia Court co-op building in Park Slope tend to be pretty unusual, and this unit is no exception. The high, exposed beam ceilings and big windows are hard not to love, but why are there photos only of the kitchen? More please! This two-bedroom, two-bath duplex is asking $4,500 a month.

I love this building, but i think the windows should have been double hung with mutton, to me that would look more like what would have been there, not the sliding windows with the little compartment below, that looks somewhat silly.
But the apartments are great, love the timber beams and all.
I rented there a few years ago and the walls were really thin. You could hear everything your neighbors were up to.
Not sure why a comment that hanging sheep meat in the windows would help the ambiance … as far I remember, it was a clock factory, not a butcher shop.
When I looked at apartments there when looking to buy, they always seemed good in theory, but always seemed cold and lifeless to me.

August 1, 2013 With an easy House vote, Congress gave final passage to a student loan bill that rescinds the doubling of interest rates that took place July 1. The ultimate product resembles both a House bill that passed months ago and President Obama's proposal this spring and pegs interest rates to a government borrowing rate.

August 1, 2013 In the '60s, Bob Moses organized African-American sharecroppers in Mississippi for the Civil Rights movement. Since the 1980s, he's led the Algebra Project, teaching math to low-achieving students in underfunded public schools and advocating for quality public education as a constitutional right.
