Good 3.5 /5 from 360 reviews
Lobby was under construction but no noise at night. Room smelled musty and smokey. Breakfast was bread, cereal, yogurt and hard boiled egg. Not worth eating there for breakfast. Staff was not friendly.
Check in was bad. Staff was rude like they wasn't expecting a guest late when I called and confirmed earlier that day. Empty water bottle found in room under a chair while just placing my bag down. I found the same kinda water in the fridge. It was an 8 pack with only one full one left in it. I have no idea if it was supplied by the hotel or not. We threw it out. The toilet made a high pitched noise that would only stop it after you flushed it again. The Kleenex tissue had only 1 tissue and was never replaced at all. The morning we left when we stopped by the continental breakfast the same employee that checked me in was there. She acknowledged 1/10 people in the room. I even said good morning to no reply. It was a convenient location for our trip to Becker College for our son. We had a 2 day orientation and would have had a more pleasant stay here if things like this were actually addressed. I know it's hard work and not appreciated by many. But as for someone that works in customer service every day myself I was amazed by the lack of interaction between hotel staff and guests. These things reflect upon upper management. Maybe some team building exercises to make their job not just a job but a fun and good safe place to work as well. If I was to stay here again it would be simply because of location...:)
Customer service is not a priority here. I asked for a bottle of water and they told me "you have to pay for it, you are just a regular customer." I was offended. I understand I am not a rewards member but to be dismissed was shocking.
stayed 5 nights, in transit moving from N.Carolina to Conn. room was okay, toilet seat was broken, room was okay. plus was the no fee for animals was traveling with 3 cats. Stayed in Harrisburg PA the night before arriving in Worcester area. Much nicer LaQuinta, cleaner, brighter. Staff much nicer, front desk person on arrival wasn't very pleasant
It was a great stay. The hotel staff were pleasant and very accommodating. My room was clean and spacious. For the price, it was a good deal. Thank you.

That was my first thought as the PCI card sets next to the wires going to the audio jack. These sure seem to be OK. If that was the case, wouldn't all audio be affected?

Young family needs a reliable car
My son will be welcoming a baby into the world in August and needs a reliable car. Ideally, this car would be a safe and reliable one in which he can transport his family of three and their two dogs. A small station wagon, hatchback, or small SUV would be ideal. He is on a limited budget and can only afford up to $3,000 to spend on this wonderful ride. It would need to be automatic transmission, but it does not need to be pretty. Any leads you may have would be appreciated. We have tried local car dealers, but the cars in this price range leave a lot to be desired. Thanks for your consideration.

Chief Constable Steps Down
The Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Colin Port will leave his post in the new year
The Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Colin Port will leave his post in the new year
I am very sad to hear that Colin Port is standing down as Chief Constable of Avon & Somerset Constabulary. Colin has been an outstanding Chief Constable over the last seven years and we will not find it easy to replace him with a person of such professionalism, integrity and quality of performance.
The new Police and Crime Commissioners will need to work hard to make sure they retain senior officers of high quality so that we don't lose some of the top performers within our police service.
Three Lions have been getting into the spirit of tonight's England match by playing their own game of football.
It's one of those high pollen days out there but there will be a little relief tomorrow.
Police have arrested a 22-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man after a baby boy died in St Blazey.

So i was shopping today, and My wife said she saw me in a different aisle, asked how I changed clothes so fast...MUST READ

Hey OP just a little add on. I have heard stories of people, who moments after their passing on, have appeared to family and friends in other parts of the world. Weird, isn't it?
Some of them were in a hospital bed before they died, so how did they manage to leave the hospital, change their clothes, travel a very long distance and appear to loved ones in other parts of the world? Seems we are multidimensional beings of some sort and there might truly be no physicality in the way we know it to be. Everything is energy highly compacted.
That's true.
My mother died at 3 am in January of 2005 while at the hospital several miles away.
I was awake and alone in the house at the time. I heard her walk across the kitchen floor to my bedroom door, she stood there a moment looking at me, then walked through the room and disappeared into the wall.
They called me a few minutes later to tell me she'd passed, but I already knew.
It happened.
.. 1610510
Something sort of similar happened to me.
Was shopping at the commissary in Ft. Monmouth, NJ, reaching up to get something off the shelf, when I turned back to the cart, there was my grandmother, pushing a cart down the aisle, rounding into another aisle.
She died three months earlier.
I freaked. I ran after her - couldn't find her. I must have spent about 10 min. searching the place. People were looking at me like I was nuts. One asked if I lost a kid.
She was the angel in my life and her death was devastating to me.
She was definitely there -and I wasn't thinking about her - just focused on getting food.
Still think about that incident after all these years... .

Dafna Wu, a 48-year-old San Francisco nurse, was born to a Jewish mother and Chinese father. She was raised Jewish but looks Asian, as does her daughter, nine-year-old Amalia, whose father was also Chinese.
The Hebrew School Amalia attends is filled with mixed-race children, but the parents in the congregation are all white, as is the majority of American Jewry. That concerns her mother.
The Los Angeles Jewish community remained on alert this week as police continued their hunt for a gunman who shot and wounded two congregants at a Sephardic synagogue.
The shooting occurred last week in the underground garage of the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Synagogue in suburban north Hollywood.
A young man, described as dark-skinned and wearing a dark, hooded sweat shirt, approached one worshipper arriving for early morning services and tried to shoot him, but the gun jammed.
Dozens of Jews have been evacuated from Yemen in a clandestine operation by the US government.
Yemen's Jewish population is thought to date back about 2,500 years. The majority of its Jews, about 49,000 people, were airlifted to Israel in Operation Magic Carpet during 1949 and 1950. By the beginning of this year, about 300 remained.
Yemen has become increasingly unstable and growing Islamic militancy has brought a rise in antisemitism.
Ten current and former members of the Knesset from parties on the left and centre-left — Meretz, Labour and Kadima — have just been in Washington to attend the first conference of J Street, a new American-Jewish lobby group that fancies itself as a counterweight to Aipac.
"This is truly a birth of a movement," declared Jeremy Ben-Ami, executive director of J Street, the dovish Israel lobby, at his group's first ever national conference.
For Mr Ben-Ami, the three-day parley in Washington DC, which brought together 1,500 activists, was a success. It attracted attention from the media and the foreign policy community, gained a stamp of approval from the administration and many members of Congress, and overcame a boycott by the Israeli ambassador to Washington.
Chicago and Cleveland serve the best corned beef. Montreal has the best smoked meat, New York owns pastrami, and no one can touch London for pickled tongue.
That's what 30-year-old Toronto native David Sax says, and he should know: he spent three years eating his way through more than 150 Jewish delis to research Save the Deli: In Search of Perfect Pastrami, Crusty Rye and the Heart of Jewish Delicatessen.
Mr Sax's book, newly released in the US, is a delicious romp through a fast-disappearing world.
An apparently Jewish scientist was charged this week with attempting to sell classified secrets to Israel.
Stewart Nozette, 52, of Maryland, was caught in a sting operation by an FBI agent posing as an Israeli spy. He twice passed classified information to the agent over several weeks.
Mr Nozette appeared in court on Tuesday, accused of two counts of attempting to communicate, deliver and transmit classified information. If convicted he faces life in jail.
When US immigration officers raided Agriprocessors, America's largest kosher slaughterhouse and meatpacking plant, last year, the Jewish community was shocked and ashamed. Dozens of illegal immigrants were arrested, many alleging sexual harassment, unpaid wages and forced overtime.
Ray Levi, head of the Heilicher Minneapolis Jewish Day School, has had to increase aid for struggling parents, freeze teachers' pay, reduce benefits and cut support staff.
So it is perhaps a sign of how fragility has become a fact of life for American Jewish day schools that Mr Levi is upbeat. "Despite all the problems we face, I think there is a lot of promise for day schools in America," he says.
Enrolment remains high and his primary school has strong communal support. But others are not so fortunate.
Have you heard the one about the Jewish woman suing her daughter-in-law for telling too many mother-in-law jokes?
Comic Sunda Croonquist, who is a regular on the Hollywood comedy circuit, is being taken to court by her husband's mother, Ruth Zafrin, for allegedly spreading false, defamatory and racist lies about her. Mrs Zafrin seeks damages and requests that Ms Croonquist remove any offensive statements from her website and routines.

2012 brings new things to discover as well as uncertainty about the future. It also brings more of that 2012 doomsday BS that has been running rampant the past few years, despite common sense and scientists actually proving that the predicted Mayan doomsday will not happen! But that still doesn't stop idiots like Discovery Channel, History Channel, Patrick Geryl and other morons from continuing to shove their doomsday shows and books down our throats!
Since the world will end in 356 days from now (we are in a leap year, so we have the 29th of February), I've decided to have my own fun with this "phenomenon". Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about how the earth will suddenly reverse its magnetic fields or anything like that. I lack the intelligence to make sense of that stuff.
The reason for this title if I'm not going to talk about 2012? A certain 80's song that critics think is probably the worst song in history.
Guilty Pleasures: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge
I'm going to start a new series of blog entries that have a certain theme among them. Sort of like Signomi's MSN!nomi entries and all those entries Nica makes with her misadventures in MSN.
My blog series: Guilty Pleasures! Or anything close to them. Basically, you like something a lot, but are too ashamed to let anyone know about. Well, I have a lot of those and I feel like sharing a few of my so-called guilty pleasures.
I would like to share something that I wanted to do ever since I first saw it.
I don't know if any of you people here watch Spike TV. The Men's network where they show a lot of crap sometimes, but they do have that one diamond in the rough if you know where to look. Early on in the network's existence, there was this show called "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge". Probably one of the funniest shows I've watched. If you guys ever watched that show, then you know how the format is. Anyway, these two announcers host this reality sports competition show where the people go through all kinds of funny stunts. You can tell the voices are 100% dubbed. And that was the beauty of it.
Well for the longest time, I REALLY WANTED to be on that show. I wanted to hang with Captain Tenneal, Vic and Kenny and put up with Guy LaDouche and get myself wrecked from competing in Sinkers and Floaters, Log Drop, Pole Riders and all those other fun games. Then I realized that if I wanted to be on that show, I had to go back in time to 1986 and hope that the clips that I'm in get selected to be on the show and have them redubbed. It still makes me wish that show that MXC was based on was still around. I would most likely hopped a plane to Japan just to get wrecked.
Even though the show's not on anymore, I still enjoy watching it, thanks to MXC being on DVD. I don't tell many people this, but now you all know.

text: Administration Pensions See $45B September Increase in Funding October 4, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – In September, pensions experienced a $45 billion increase in funded status, according to the Milliman Pension Funding Index. By Rebecca Moore firstname.lastname@example.com | October 04, 2012 The Index, consisting of 100 of the nation's largest defined benefit (DB) pension plans, showed a $30 billion reduction in the pension benefit obligation (PBO) and a $15 billion asset improvement. The $45 billion increase in funded status means these pensions have reduced their cumulative funding deficit by $80 billion in the last two months, following a four-month slide of $304 billion. In September, the discount rate used to calculate pension liabilities increased from 3.99% to 4.08%, reducing the PBO to $1.778 trillion at the end of the month. The overall asset value for these 100 pensions increased from $1.309 trillion to $1.324 trillion. Looking forward, if these 100 pensions were to achieve their expected 7.8% median asset return and if the current discount rate of 4.08% were to be maintained throughout 2012 and 2013, these pensions would improve the pension funded ratio from 74.5% to 75.4% by the end of 2012 and to 79.9% by the end of 2013.

El Agave Azul known for its authentic Mexican fare
4/25/2011At least three times a week, Jorge Aguilar goes to El Agave Azul to enjoy his favorite carne asada taco, and savor the friendly, homey atmosphere at the Davie restaurant. "This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant I have come across in this area," said Aguilar, 37, who has been a customer for 10 months. "The best part is to eat tacos while talking to the owners about soccer, politics and baseball.When Weston residents Ivan Alarcon, 33, and his wife Nathalie Marcano, 32, opened the 500-square-foot taqueria in January 2010, they intended it to be just a catering business. "But we left a small space for take-out, so people would come and try some food and order the catering," Alarcon said. "I thought that very few people were going to come by every day, but as people started trying the food, and the word got out, the take-out completely took over the catering business." Alarcon's passion for Mexican food, and his difficulty finding a local restaurant that reminded him of dishes from his hometown of Monterrey, Mexico, motivated him to learn to cook. Soon after many telephone calls for recipes to his mother and aunts, his efforts won praise from friends, who encouraged him to start catering. "I started throwing parties at home, and my main point of focus was food to showcase my culture among my friends," said Alarcon. "People really liked what I did."Alarcon came to South Florida in 1997 to get a college degree in computer science at Nova Southeastern University. Two years later, he got a job as an operations manager in the telecommunications company, Nortel, where he worked for 10 years. But things were not doing so well in the corporate world.Nortel had a large number of layoffs, so Alarcon was concerned his job could be cut next. So nine months before losing his position, Alarcon started making plans for his catering business. "Companies weren't giving raises, and within my industry things weren't the best," he said. "I had to find my way around to it and make extra money on the weekends."With only three tables, El Agave Azul is busy daily, serving about 100 customers on a weekday, 150 on weekends. "I call it take-out because of our space, but reality is that a lot of people eat here," Alarcon said. "We always joke around and say we have curbside-sitting because people sit on the curbside to eat."Named after the cactus from which tequila is made, El Agave Azul is best known for its signature dish Tacos de Trompo, five corn tortillas with a beef-pork combo in a house marinade, and Northern-style campechana, with melted cheese, the trompo beef-pork combo, carne asada, a slice of avocado in a flour tortilla. The menu, which also offers vegetarian items, features tacos, soups, quesadillas, tortillas, burritos and sopes, a small thick corn tortilla. Almost everything is sold individually, so customers can create their own meal. Every two weeks, when Marta Cieslik, 37, a Brevard County resident, comes to Davie to visit her husband, Krzysztof Cieslik, 40, who is pursing a master's degree in healthcare science at Nova Southeastern University, they stop by El Agave Azul to get her favorite campechana taco, while her husband tries a different dish each visit. "We don't like Mexican restaurant chains," said Cieslik, while at El Agave. "We only like small authentic places like this one."

The potential of Design Thinking becomes more and more visible because organizations like Apple, Coca-Cola, IBM, Nike en Proctor & Gamble not only show overtly that they use it, but start showing significant results. They outperformed their peers in the last decade with 219%, measured by the Design Value Index (assessment by Design Management Institute).

"Eureka!', Archimedes famously howled, while running butt naked through the streets of Syracuse. Soaking in his bath tub, the bearded Greek inventor had just discovered a new method of determining an object's volume. Funnily enough, this well-known story captures two myths about innovation. One: it's the work of a sole – and usually slightly eccentric – inventor. Two: chance has a part to play. For businesses, the reality is vastly different. Indeed, turning ideas into revenue requires quite a bit more than just ideation and luck.

Like taking vitamins or exercising daily, Tom Kelley, General Manager of IDEO, points out that fostering lifelong creativity depends on instituting good, healthy mental habits. This first habit on his list of five encourages thinkers to become hyper-aware of their environment, and to notice the common and everyday with new eyes. Capture fresh ideas and don't be afraid to use them later, he insists.

To be able to use the full potential of innovation, psychological safety within teams and organisations is essential. Psychological safety is the shared belief that it is safe within the team for interpersonal risk taking. There is a direct relation between a psychological safe climate and performance of the team. (Edmondson 1999)

Where do creativity and innovation come from? It's an age old question: are creativity and innovation innate abilities, something you're either born with or not, or can they be learned? While the debate continues, the data is increasingly pointing to the fact that qualities like creativity and innovation are largely learned behaviours.

Design Thinking—a powerful methodology principally used in product design—is now influencing corporate culture, allowing everyone to be part of the creative process. Companies today are moving beyond simple brand and product design and are developing a strategic process to work more effectively and improve the customer experience. But how does this democratization of design principals within an organization effect the role and responsibilities of the designer? How does it change the way companies are thinking about design? In this clip from InnoView, Lee Fain (Design & Innovation at Electrolux) and Anthony Ferrier (CEO, Culturevate) discuss how design is changing in a corporate context.

Let me see if this situation sounds familiar: you've promised your boss that you'll generate at least one percent growth over last year. You've been racking your brain with ideas about how to improve your product or develop a new offering or finding new efficiencies which will help your margins, but the few ideas that you've come up with haven't had legs and pages keep coming off the calendar.

In a study of 5,000 adults in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Japan conducted by Adobe about creativity, they came up with some interesting findings. To begin with, they asked every participant if they felt creativity was valuable to society and two-thirds of the respondents said "yes." Perhaps even more significantly, 80% of them felt that unlocking creativity was critical to economic growth.

Creativity as a concept remains hard to pin down. Many view the ability to find creative solutions as the pinnacle of creative leadership. Artists, designers, visionaries and thought leaders are all admired for the power of their ideas, i.e. for their creativity. Creativity is a well-researched topic, covered in many popular science and business economics books. Yet we continue to struggle with the mystique created around the topic, and the intimidating notion that this is a territory reserved for the so-called "Creatives".

Everyone likes to feel appreciated at work. In fact, studies have shown that employees are motivated to work harder when their boss shows appreciation for their work. For most employers, showing appreciation might mean promotions and pay raises, but those opportunities don't come along as often as we'd like to think.

We are taught to think that all great minds think alike. While this may have worked during pre-twenty first century industrial times, this is no longer the case today. We need creative and diverse minds that can navigate through the chaos, uncertainty, and adventure of our present-day society —each individual contributing in their own unique way.

When Airbnb opened its first call center in December 2014, it was featured on headlines everywhere: finally, a call center that was not a hell to work at. "Picture a call center: rows and rows of gray cubicles, everyone donning headsets, sitting at their beige desks for hours on end […] Our landing spots work a little like cubbies for kindergarteners." To create a happy, collaborative environment, Airbnb staffers were included in the design of the workplace, translating to shared desks, couches, and lots of use of natural materials and lightning —all fun and play.

"Come up with something new! And make it good." Have you ever said that? More and more leaders nowadays make this demand. They need something new and creative, and they need it to be good. Mostly because their circumstances are changing radically and their organization hasn't. Or maybe simply because that is the kind of market they are in. Come up with something and make it good!

This book is extremely well written and elucidating with regard to the influencers on today's economists and financial policy. From Paine and Malthus to Keynes and Friedman, the myriad reasons for economic tinkering (or not), profit maximization and production optimization is covered in a easy to understand and compelling manner. Objective, comprehensive (to 2007) and relevant - this book is a must for micro-economic theorists and students.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device,
Figures 2 and 3 are transverse and longitudinal sections of the device on line 2-2 and 33 respectively, Figure 1, and
Figure 4 is a top plan view of the device showing the image reproduced thereby.
The device comprises a. rectangular open top housing 5 formed of a bottom 5, a pair of side walls I, 8 and a pair of end walls 9, I0. The side and end walls of the housing are detachably connected together in abutting relation. Each end wall is provided on its inner face, in proximity to its top edge, with a groove H of a length to extend from one side edge to the other side edge thereof. Each side wall is formed on its inner face, in proximity to its top edge, with a pair of spaced endwise aligning grooves l2, [3 closed at their inner and opening at their outer ends. The grooves l2, l3 extend from the end edges of a side wall to a point spaced from each side of the vertical median of such wall.

The panels 25, 26 are to abut the closed inner ends of the grooves [2,
The panels 28 seats upon the inner marginal portions of the upper faces of the panels 25, 26. The side edges of member 28 are flush with the side edges of the walls IS, IS and the outer side faces of the walls I1, 18. The member 28 is a closure for the top of trough l4 and forms, in connection with the latter and inner edges of the panels 25, 28, a chamber 29 for an illuminating device 30 in the form of an electrical lamp. The member 28 fur-- ther constitutes a suspension respectively for a switch 3| which depends therefrom into chamber 29 and an angle shaped reflector 32 which also depends therefrom into the chamber 29. The member 28 is formed of opaque material.
Within the housing 5 is arranged a pair of oppositely disposed spaced mirrors 33, 34 which extend from the walls 1, 8 respectively to the bottom 6. Each mirror is set at an angle of 45 and extends transversely of housing 5, ,The upper ends of the mirrors 33, 34 are spaced a substantial distance below the panels 25, 26 respectively. The lower ends of the mirrors are spaced from each other. The mirrors 33, 34 are set in grooves in walls 9, 10 as illustrated in 34.
The reflector 32 includes'a horizontal part 35 flector 32 at that end of the latter adjacentswitch 3| is a depending angle-shaped supporting bracket 38 for the lamp 30. or circuit connection 22 has interposed therein the switch 3|. The conductor or circuitconnection 23 leads directly to lamp 30.
The light rays from the lamp 30 are directed to the inner end edge of the panel 25 for the purpose of illuminating the bottom of the foot of a person to result in the device'producing a shadowgraph of said foot bottom. The light rays also illuminate the chamber 29. The walls of the compartment 39 are stained black. The compartment 39 receives no direct light from compartment 29 and depends upon the light rays which travel through the panel 25 to reproduce the image of the bottom of the foot in mirror 33 and reflect it into mirror 34 for observation When the device is used the patient positions one of his feet under pressure upon the panel 25 and the image of the bottom of the foot appears in mirror 33; From the latter the image is reflected in mirror 34 and viewed therein through the window provided by the panel 26.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown, it is to be understood that various changes in the size, shape, material and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
The conductor sides and ends of the housing adjacent the top edge of the latter, and one constituting a foot support and the other a window for viewing an image, said panels being disposed in a plane for closing the major portion of the open top of the housing, a pair of oppositely upstanding inclined mirrors positioned within and against the ends, sides and bottom of the housing, directly below and in spaced relation to said panels for reflecting an image received by one to the other, a closed opaque hollow oblong structure providing a chamber interposed between central upper portions of the inner faces of the sides of the housing, said panels having their inner ends interposed between the upper ends of the sides and the top of said structure, the latter closing the remaining portion of the open top of said structure, a reflector within said chamber 7 and including a vertical part having a non-refleeting surface opposing the inner end edge of that panel constituting the window and a reflecting surface for directing light rays to the inner end edge of the other of said panels, and a controllable electrical illuminating means controllable from one of the walls of said structure and including a lamp suspended in said chamber.

Q: I've got an iPad 2 and an iPhone 3GS which both came with their own chargers but both use the same data cable. Can I use either charger to charge either device?
- Johnny
A: Apple's USB chargers for iPhones and iPods are generally interchangeable and even old chargers for the fifth-generation click wheel iPod can still be used to charge an iPhone or iPod touch.
The iPad is a special case, however, as it requires a higher charging current. Although the adapter included with the iPad looks identical to other Apple chargers, if you read the fine print you'll see it's actually a "10W USB Power Adapter," providing 2.1A of charging current. By comparison, the standard iPhone charger only supplies 1A of current. What this means is that you can't realistically use the iPhone charge an iPad—it simply doesn't provide enough juice. You won't harm the iPad or the charger by plugging it in, but you'll be presented with a "Not Charging" message in the top right corner of the screen.
Note that the iPad charger can be used with an iPhone or iPod touch, however, which may save you the trouble of having to pack an extra charger when travelling. The iPhone, like any other electronic device, will only draw the current that it actually needs and can handle, so when using the higher-current charger, the iPhone still only draws 1A.
