JMM said he may have to bring something different to win. I think he'll stick to throwing rocks and stones around for strength.

JMM is a G in my book but the last time they fought his shakes from that ANgel guy were better than the shakes from Ariza so I would asssume he would bring that dude back to camp right?
Or was it too much with what Angel said on 24/7 about beating the system?

Isn't it amazing how JMM only moves up 1, maybe 2 weight divisions and has a great performance and he is actually being accused of PED's. This is a great fighter who has never been stopped or even beaten concisively except 1 time by the best fighter in the world. On the other hand, you have a fighter who was KOed at like 108/110 lbs twice, who was mediocre the first half of his career and then in the past 10 years or so, has been through 5-6 more weight divisions, and has gotten faster and more powerful with each weight class, and whose actual head size has grown, AND has refused random blood testing. YET.....YET.....it is absurd to even remotely think he is using PED's right? HAHAHA. There are some real hilarious people out there...but someone has to be on PED's to beat Manny right? You Pac ass suckers are all so hypocritical and full of ****. I can't wait until JMM smacks Manny around for 12 rounds in December.

Health care information forum is this week in Barre
BARRE Residents with questions about Vermonts newly launched health care exchange can attend a two-hour forum Thursday night at the Barre Elks Lodge.
Hosted by Rep. Paul Poirier, I-Barre, the forum is set to start at 6:30 p.m. and feature a question-and-answer session after a pair of presentations on the exchange, formally known as Vermont Health Connect.
Speaking will be Emily Yahr, public information officer for the exchange, and Peter Sterling, president of the Vermont Campaign for Health Care Security.
Yahrs audio-visual presentation will include a big-screen enrollment simulation designed to illustrate and simplify the process.
Through last week more than 50,000 individuals had contacted Vermont Health Connect to inquire about health care policies now available through the state-run exchange. Under Vermont law, all individuals who are not covered by an employer health plan must enroll in the state exchange or face a financial penalty.
The Elks Club will be providing light refreshments, according to Poirier, who said anyone with questions about the forum can call him at 476-7870.MORE IN This Just InHarwood Union graduate Haley Spittle was named North Atlantic Conference Player of the Week after...

A Washington state sheriff and his sergeant purchased burial plots to prevent Josh Powell's family from having him buried next to his two sons.
"The bottom line is, Josh Powell will not be near those two boys," Pierce County Sheriff's Sgt. Ed Troyer said in an interview with Seattle radio's Ron and Don Show.
Powell's remaining relatives wanted him buried near sons Charlie and Braden, who died when Powell blew up his home on Feb. 5, according to MSNBC.
Troyer, who used his personal money to buy the burial plots with Sheriff Paul Pastor, then Tweeted, "Crime Stoppers just purchased the cemetery plots next to the Powell boys. We own the plots on both sides of the single grave the boys are in."
Powell's relatives had visited the Woodbine Cemetery and selected a plot about 25 feet from where the boys were laid to rest, City Manager Ralph Dannenberg told the Associated Pres.
Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5 – the sons of Josh and missing wife Susan – were celebrated in a memorial service in front of more than 1,500 people on Saturday.
"For [Josh] to be buried near those kids is just unthinkable," Anne Bremmer, the lawyer of Susan's parents Charles and Judy Cox, told the Associated Press. "For god's sake, for them to lose Susan first, and then the boys, and now this? Just give these people a break."

The festival has a fledgling Facebook page: click here
Jack White talks about albums and songs he has listened to in 2014 (MOJO magazine January 2015 edition):
..... Another album I've been playing recently is one that John Peel gave me, the first album by Medicine Head, which was on John Peel's Dandelion label. The first track on it [When The Night Falls] I Like that a lot.
In the early 90s, John had a call from his management company asking if he would like to join The STRANGLERS so he started writing songs with them in mind, "Hearts Of Fire", Blue Skies" and "When I Looked Away". The guys in The Stranglers then decided they wanted to write themselves and go down a different road with another singer so John continued writing and "State Of the Heart" was the result of his desire to write cool songs. "State Of The Heart" will now finally get a CD release on 08 April 2013. Order your copy today from the online store!

"Fiddlersophical" was released in October 2011 by Angel Air Records and is the first new Medicine Head album in over 35 years! A special holographic edition is available from the online store while stocks last!
Review from LET IT ROCK:
So "Free" launches the agenda in the HEAD traditional ring of acoustic guitar and harmonica where the strident approach reveals a lyrical hope that turns urgent in the upbeat swampiness of "Narcisister". But if "First I Lost My Mind" slows things down for the playful to turn into the painful, "Cadillacs And Diamonds" flows on a laid-back West Coast vibe which denies consumerism in the name of love. Yet "I'll Turn You On" is the best power ballad this side of hard rock and it'll take ages to forget the slide figure that carries "The Haunting". And there's peace in the end, as "Angels And Misfits" flattens all the questions marks hanging over Fiddler's songs into a straight and smooth pop route. That's the philosophy to live by.

Invisible theater
|The neutrality of this article is disputed. (September 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Invisible theatre is a form of theatrical performance that is enacted in a place where people would not normally expect to see one (for example in the street or in a shopping centre) and often with the performers attempting to disguise the fact that it is a performance from those who observe and who may choose to participate in it, thus leading spectators to view it as a real, unstaged event. The Brazilian theater practitioner Augusto Boal & Panagiotis Assimakopoulos developed the form during his time in Argentina in the 1960s as part of his Theater of the Oppressed, which focused on oppression and social issues. Invisible Theatre is all about showing oppression in everyday life, in an everyday setting, without the audience or Spect-actors knowing. Boal went on to develop forum theater.[1]
A similar form of "micro-theater" was portrayed by Samuel R. Delany in his science-fiction novel Triton. The leader of the 'micro-theater' was a woman named "The Spike".[2]
The purpose of invisible theatre is to make a point publicly in much the same motivational vein as graffiti or political demonstration, or it may be done in order to help actors gain a sense of what a realistic reaction might be to a certain scenario; for example, a heated argument over a political or social issue. This type of theatre is performed in public with unexpected bystanders, whom the actors will try to get unknowingly involved in the scene.
Common misconceptions[edit]
A common mistake is that Invisible Theatre is punking or joking as shown in the television shows Candid Camera and Punk'd.. This is a gross mistake. Invisible Theatre is all about showing oppression in everyday life, in an everyday setting, without the audience or Spect-actors knowing. Punking and invisible "jokes" are completely different art form.
Some believe an example of Invisible Theatre is that of the group "Improv Everywhere." Improv Everywhere is an organization of people who collaborate online to pull a mass prank on unsuspecting pedestrians and bystanders. For example, 200 members organized themselves to all appear in Grand Central Station in New York and just freeze in the middle of the walkway. All 200 members just stood there frozen as onlookers watched them in confusion. Since the onlookers were unaware that these were really actors who had reorganized themselves, some consider it Invisible Theater but really it is closer to punking, as it has nothing to do with oppression.
Another false conception is that the Free Hugs Campaign started by Juan Mann demonstrates Invisible Theatre. People would hold up "FREE HUGS" signs and strangers walking by were able to get hugs for free. This could be considered Invisible Theatre, as it is not a joke or a punk, but again as it has no basis in oppression it is not Invisible Theatre.
Comparison to happenings[edit]
"Happenings" are events that occur for a brief moment of time and are planned out. They are used to create awareness about an issue without the audience knowing what is happening. The events usually take place in lofts, streets or alley ways. The events are usually scripted but the audience is unaware of this.[3]
Boal is actually quite clear in Tecnicas latinoamericanas de teatro popular that invisible theater and happenings are distinct: "El teatro invisible no debe ser confundido con el happening, que es un hecho teatral insólito, caótico, en que todo puede ocurrir, anárquicamente. [Invisible theater must not be confused with the happening, which is an unusual theatrical event, chaotic, in which anything can occur, anarchically.]" [4]

You can't just deduct 401(k) plan investment losses like you would other investment losses on your Form 1040, even if you've sold the investment within the plan or have other investment gains to offset. Generally, you won't be able to take a loss for a 401(k) plan, but when you can, you report the deduction on Schedule A.
Loss Prerequisites
To have a tax-deductible loss in your 401(k) plan, you must have a tax basis in the account. The only way to build a basis is by making after-tax contributions to the plan. If you have a traditional 401(k), it's very rare that you'll have made any after-tax contributions. If you have a Roth IRA, all your contributions are after-tax, so your basis will be the amount of money you've contributed. In addition, before you can take a loss for poor investment performance, you must close your 401(k) plan.
Loss Amount
The loss amount when you close your 401(k) plan equals your total after-tax contributions minus your total distributions from the account. For example, say you put $30,000 in your Roth 401(k) plan over the years and received $20,000 in distributions: You have a $10,000 loss. If, on the other hand, you contributed that money to a traditional 401(k) plan, those contributions would never have been included in your taxable income so you couldn't deduct losses on that money. Essentially, you already got your deduction when you made the pretax contributions.
AGI Threshold
Your 401(k) loss -- if you can claim it -- is categorized as a miscellaneous deduction. You can claim such deductions only to the extent their total exceeds 2 percent of adjusted gross income. As a result, the actual amount that is used to lower your taxable income depends in your adjusted gross income. If you have a higher income, you'll get less of a deduction. For example, if you take a $6,000 loss, but your AGI is $200,000, you lower your taxable income only by $2,000. On the other hand, if your AGI is $50,000, you lower your AGI by $5,000.
Itemizer Only
The last barrier to claiming your loss is itemizing your deductions. If you're not willing to part with your standard deduction, the IRS doesn't let you write off your 401(k) plan losses. On the bright side, when you itemize, you also get to claim any other itemized deductions you're eligible for, including mortgage interest, state and local taxes, and charitable contributions. So, if the total of your itemized deductions exceeds the value of your standard deduction, itemizing will benefit you.

Avenue Campus
Lecture Theatre C
Earl Mountbatten of Burma (1900-79) was perhaps the last great court politician of modern Europe. For over thirty years he played a major role in British global strategy and domestic statecraft, leaving his mark on matters as diverse as the partition of India, defence policy in the Cold War, the development of atomic weapons, and immigration from the Commonwealth. At the same time he occupied a unique place in British political culture in the middle decades of the twentieth century as unofficial Cabinet adviser, imperial trouble-shooter, eminence grise to the Windsors, and the lynchpin of what was left of the royal families of Europe. A remnant of the feudal past, he nonetheless made a decisive impact on modernity, in a manner which suggests that reports of the waning of the power of the crown are premature. Twenty-five years after his death, what can Mountbatten's life and times tell us about the place of constitutional monarchy in modern Europe?

DALLAS — Fashion Industry Gallery expects all 50 of its showrooms to be occupied plus 100 exhibitors at its Shop booth show at the fall market, taking place March 21 to 23. Contemporary dress designer Amanda Uprichard will be featured.
This story first appeared in the March 13, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"It feels like the momentum has picked up," said Matt Roth, chief executive officer and co-owner of the juried fashion venue in the Arts District. "We are totally full for March, and after that we have one or two rooms available for permanent lease, but I've got legitimate prospects for those spaces, so it's just a matter of time before we are full — and we haven't had that problem in a long time."
Comparatively strong business in Texas is fueling interest in showroom leasing, Roth said. FIG concentrates on contemporary and bridge fashion, accessories and shoes for women but also showcases some men's and children's resources.
"People are talking about this region," he said. "A lot of what is happening in other parts of the country isn't as promising as what people are seeing here in Dallas."
In other news, FIG teamed with software start-up Clothesline to offer exhibitors a free six-month test of the online ordering service for use during markets. The system was developed by Lady Fuller, who owns the Blues Jean Bar specialty chain, and Avalon Retail Consulting, a New Orleans service. Clothesline says it maintains an online inventory, generates bar codes for products and enables paperless orders and invoices.
Mider Group showroom owner Greg Mider plans to give it a try. "It's kind of cool, but it's a question of whether or not it's efficient for what we need," Mider said. "We are still pretty hands-on in how we do things, and it's only as good as the degree to which our stores use it. They still take notes."

@LFJeremy I agree, I thought it seemed VERY low. My 6 year old daughter plays xbox, wii, and PC games. Definitely at least once a day. Plus she also has an iPod Touch and DSi.
Seventeen percent of children ages 5-8 play games everyday
Common Sense Media's recently-published "Zero to Eight: Children's Media Use in America" study notes that small children are playing games in droves.
Seventeen percent of children between the ages of 5 and 8 play games everyday, while a much larger number — 81 percent — have played games during their lifetimes.
Of course, narrow that down to the whole study's focus, and 51 percent have played a video game at all. Still a sizable amount. Sixty-seven percent of children included in the study have a console at home, with 24 percent having their own handheld and 29 percent with some other "educational gaming device."
Boys' and girls' habits differed, as well, with more boys having played console video games (56 percent versus 46 percent, though that is likely not a statistically significant difference), having a video game device in their room and playing games every day.By Tiffany Nevin in News 4 Comments »
I think it's hard to know how much if things are changing because I'm not sure what year they really started paying attention.

In one of the largest offsite adoption events in its 35-year history, Pet Helpers found homes for nearly all of the available kittens in its shelter on Saturday at Kittenpalooza.
Held at Northwoods Mall, adopters turned out in droves to form a line before the event even officially opened at 11 a.m. The no-kill shelter on James Island did a record 19 adoptions in the first 45 minutes and executive director Kevin Ryan went back twice for more kittens.
"It was great to see so many people turn out for this event," Ryan said. "The people of Charleston and its surrounding suburbs care about animals and its invigorating to see so many step up in the midst of an aggressive kitten season to welcome new animals into their homes. Every kitten adopted out today means that we can save that many more going forward."
Kittens went for a drastically reduced fee of $25 which included spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, microchip and 30 days of pet insurance. Attendees got to spin the Wheel of Furrtune for a chance to win Pet Helpers prizes, gift cards or a fee waived adoption.
Local pet-themed vendors helped to add to the excitement of Kittenpalooza. Representatives from Keegan Spera Photography, Tucker's Treats, Edible Chair Studio, Find Love In Pitbulls (FLIP) and Pet Helpers own iniative, Unchain Charleston, were present.

First guess after what you have already tried would be a bad image file.
 Can you run an md5 on the file and compare with the one from the download site?

I was going to give Bodhi a shot because i really love enlightenment but could never get it installed.

Ive tried every combination i could think of on the install boot menu, disabled all i could in the bios, turned boot mode to legacy, etc.

Kept hanging at "Preparing to install Bodhi...." would just get an hour glass and no disk activity.

Also tried installing from bootable usb stick instead of cd, same result.

I popped in a 12.10 ubuntu cd and installed flawlessly.

Seems odd that Bodhi being based on ubuntu doesnt work for me.

Too bad there is no text based installer. I would really like to use Bodhi.

Im using an IBM ThinkCentre PC (4480-B1U)

Couldnt really find anything on google with my exact problem with any kind of decent fix.

From what i saw the people having this problem were using a usb cdrom, which is not the case for me.

Anyone run into anything like this before?

Joe Huber just did what came naturally Saturday morning at Mackay Stadium.
"I just used my quickness," the Nevada Wolf Pack wide receiver said with a smile.
"It was just a little stutter and go."
Huber, one of nine wide receivers on the Wolf Pack's spring roster, turned in the highlight of Saturday's scrimmage, hauling in a 65-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Tanner Roderick.
"It's always fun to be that open," said Huber, who beat cornerback Markus Smith down the right sideline on his touchdown. "After I caught it I just saw nothing but green."
Huber, who played in just six games and did not catch a pass in his first two seasons in a Wolf Pack uniform, caught three passes for 72 yards in the scrimmage. His big play was one of just Pack touchdowns all day in the 102-play scrimmage. The other score was an 8-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Cody Fajardo to wide receiver Brandon Wimberly to cap off the first drive of the morning.
"I just love competing," said Huber, a former quarterback for the Bishop Gorman High Gaels in Las Vegas. "That's why I love spring ball, because of the competition."
Huber almost saw nothing but green a second time on Saturday.
"You have no idea how badly I wanted that one," said Huber, who nearly scored on another 65-yard touchdown down the right sideline after beating cornerback Bryson Keeton but the pass from quarterback Devin Combs was overthrown by about five yards. "I wanted it so badly I dove for it."
The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Huber has caught head coach Chris Ault's eye this spring.
"Joe's doing OK," Ault said. "He's getting better all the time. He just needs to get a better feel for the system."
The Pack's offensive system didn't produce many highlights during the two-hour scrimmage. The Wolf Pack running game failed to get into the end zone on 59 carries and gained 224 yards for a 3.8 yards-per-carry average.
The passing game was only slightly more productive as the three quarterbacks combined to complete 24-of-43 passes for 261 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Fajardo started off strong, completing his first eight passes. He ended up completing 20-of-31 passes for 184 yards and the touchdown to Wimberly but also stumbled down near the goal line a couple times.
"I'd say I was average to a little below average," said Fajardo, who also ran the ball nine times for just 24 yards. "We struggled in the red zone and that is completely my fault. We got down there and didn't produce points and that's something that hurt us last season. I have to get better at that."
Fajardo, rolling out on a first down play from the one-yard line, was picked off in the end zone by Thaddeus Brown on a pass intended for tight end Zach Sudfeld.
"I just looked up and saw the 6-foot-7 Sud but I threw it right to the defensive back," said Fajardo who did complete his first eight passes. "I short-armed it a little."
Fajardo also failed to punch the ball in the end zone on four plays starting from the 6-yard line late in the scrimmage. He tossed two incomplete passes and kept the ball himself twice for a net gain of two yards.
"We have a lot of things we have to work on," Fajardo said.
Both backup quarterbacks (Devin Combs and Roderick) each completed 2-of-6 passes. Combs ran the ball four times for 29 yards and Roderick picked up seven yards on eight carries.
"I saw some good things and I saw some things that we have to work on," Ault said.
Wimberly was a workhorse, catching eight passes for 72 yards. Sudfeld, who had two outstanding catches, finished with four receptions for 71 yards.
The running game produced just four carries of 10 yards or more. Kendall Brock, who led the team with 49 yards on 10 carries, had the run of the day, picking up 30 yards on a carry around the right side. Stefphon Jefferson gained 34 yards on seven carries and lost one fumble. Anthony Knight gained 24 yards on nine carries and also fumbled the ball away once.
"We were pretty average on offense," Ault said. "We were not as crisp as we were earlier in the week at practice. Cody (Fajardo) was a little out of sorts after we brought him back in after we gave the other two quarterbacks (Combs and Roderick) some work."
The defense, though, played well for the most part.
Defensive end Lenny Jones, a red-shirt freshman, was very active early in the scrimmage, stopping Fajardo for a 2-yard loss on the first series and holding Combs and Brock to a pair of 1-yard runs on the fifth series.
"He's climbing the ladder, one rung at a time," said Ault of the 6-foot-3, 240-pound Jones. "He just has to learn to play that way all the time."
Defensive lineman Jordan Hanson stopped Knight for a 3-yard loss and linebacker Lorenzo Devers trapped Roderick for a 7-yard sack. Linebacker Albert Rosette knocked down a Fajardo pass at the line of scrimmage as did defensive end Jake Peppard. Defensive back Malik James recovered a fumble and Aaron Brown nearly had an interception.
"The defense had its moments," Ault said. "We're getting there (on defense). We're making progress."
The Wolf Pack will conduct its annual Silver and Blue Spring Game, which is open to the public, this Saturday at Mackay Stadium starting at 10 a.m.

In its ongoing review of existing resolutions the Stevensville Town Council decided to dump one that requires any citizen wishing to ask a question of the mayor, town council or town staff to "provide in writing the question they wish to ask by noon of the Friday prior to the Town Council meeting at which the question will be asked. Thus allowing at least a minimum amount of time to research the question."
Mayor Gene Mim Mack, who proposed rescinding the 2008 resolution, said that it was patently in violation of the public's constitutional right to participate in government decision making. He said it was also in contradiction to the Council Rules that were subsequently adopted in 2010.
Council members agreed with his assessment and the resolution was rescinded by unanimous vote.
The Council approved change orders in Phase III of the Water System Improvement Project. Changes included an $803 contract change for the connection of the 6-inch water main on South Ave. The location of this main was unknown to the town until it was discovered during the work and so was not included in the original work plan. It will cost another $2,835 to remove about 150 linear feet of cast iron water main on 5th Street to allow replacement with a new PCV water main. The service line will reconnect the water service for the four-plexes at the east end of 5th Street.
The Council adopted a new Capital Reserve Policy. A capital item is defined as an asset that the town intends to hold and derive benefits from for a period of five or more years and has a cost of $5,000 or more. Capital assets include land, buildings, machinery, equipment and major software expenditures.
The policy requires the preparation of a schedule of capital items used by each department with an estimate of its useful lifespan, date of acquisition and cost. The schedule will be incorporated into the town's budget. The budget shall provide for adequate maintenance and orderly replacement of items. The Town "strives" to maintain capital reserves sufficient to fund acquisition of needed assets and a capital plan for major repairs and replacements.
If expenses require incurring debt the following criteria shall be considered: a) The project's useful life should equal or exceed the terms of financing, b) Financial resources are deemed sufficient and reliable to service the long-term debt, c) Market conditions should present favorable interest rates for town financing, and d) The incurrence of debt shall not adversely affect the Town's financial position.
The council agreed, with the concurrence of Montana Department of Commerce, to release Bitterroot Tool and Machinery from the security clause in the Tax Increment Financing District agreement that would have required the company to reimburse the town about $28,000 when moving out of the district. The business plans to move out adjacent to the airport where it will expand operations. Officials understand the security agreement as being designed to keep jobs that are being created in the area. It was determined that although the company is moving out of town and out of the TIFD, it is to a location adjacent to town and the jobs will stay in the area. The company has already produced six new positions since June and expects to produce about 3 or 4 more by the end of the year and even more following the move.
The Council approved setting up an on-line utility bill payment system using www.paygov.us as the on-line pay processor. Although it will cost users a little extra to use the service, it is being added to the tool box for making payments which includes paying in person by check or credit card, paying by mail, or having a bank send payment.
"It may cost the user a little extra for the convenience, but it is their choice," said Treasurer Stephani Mapelli. She said people are free to use any method they want, it is just another option.
The Council adopted a job description for a School Resource Officer. The council has agreed to accept a COPS grant to pay 75% of the cost of an SRO for three years. It requires the Town to fund a fourth year. The Stevensville School District has agreed to split the cost with the Town for both the 25% match over three years and the full pay for the fourth year. A full-time police officer will be hired and given a special duty assignment defined by the SRO job description.
The Council adopted four airport-related resolutions. One was a resolution of necessity and statement of infrastructure deficiency which is required to establish a taxing district there. Another resolution revamped the Town's airport lease agreement. And another adopted hangar construction guidelines. The final resolution adopted the state's minimum standards for aeronautical activities such as storage, fueling and repairs.
During council comments at the end of the meeting, Councilor Bill Perrin commented on a number of mistaken claims made recently in a letter to the editor by former Mayor Lew Barnett. Perrin said he felt obliged to respond since so many facts were wrong and could mislead the public.
The letter claimed that four new employees had been hired by Mayor Mim Mack. Perrin said the fact is only two were hired, a treasurer and a water and sewer employee.
Barnett wrote that $10,000 had been spent on keeping the railroad open. Perrin said that actually the Town Council agreed to spend up to $20,000 to cover any shortfall in the railroad contract. But the railroad found a new shipper and when the shortfall was assessed the Town owed only about $7,000. After a private individual came forward agreeing to pay half, the Town's share dropped to $3,500.
Barnett wrote that the mayor spent $65,000 on a new truck for the police department. Perrin said the actual total cost was $34,000 and that the truck was needed to transport evidence and animals.
Barnett wrote that the mayor had "given" Main Street Association $10,000. Perrin pointed out that the Town paid Main Street Association $5,500 under a contract for services.
Perrin said that the letter accused Mayor Mim Mack of doing all these things when it was all actually done by the full Town Council.
Councilor Ron Klaphake added to Perrin's remarks, saying that the letter claimed that an illegal meeting was held by the mayor and two council members meeting at the hotel. He noted that the law is very clear that, under the commission/executive (mayor) form of government which the Town operates under, it would take three council members to make a quorum. He denied that any illegal meeting occurred since there was no quorum and no decisions were made.
Councilor Robin Holcomb clarified her stand in voting against the budget because it included a 12% raise for two of the clerks but no raise for anyone else.
"I didn't say you don't deserve a raise," said Holcomb. "It's just too much."
Councilor Desera Towle said that it was a mistake to call it a raise.
"It was an adjustment of the job payment for a certain position, not a raise given to someone for superior performance," she said. She said the pay for certain job positions was determined to be inequitable and the pay for those positions was adjusted, it was not a pay raise based on assessment of personal performance.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – After a months-long investigation, police have arrested two suspects who allegedly created and sold fake documents, including fraudulent permanent residency cards and Social Security cards, federal records show.
Tito Perez-Mijangos and Joel Baron-Vidal are named in a criminal complaint alleging the two conspired to produce and transfer fake identifications. The arrests are among a string in recent years where fraudulent documents have been produced, often in houses in Wyoming, and sold throughout the Grand Rapids area.
Related: Illegal residents sent to prison for counterfeit documents in Grand Rapids, Holland
Related: Recent arrests show fake documents are lucrative, sophisticated business
Police began the investigation in March after Homeland Security obtained information that someone selling fake documents could be reached at a specific telephone number. The cost was around $200 for a permanent resident card and a Social Security card.
Investigators determined that nearly 3,000 calls were made from or to that phone number in a one-month period.
On April 26, a confidential informant called the number and spoke to someone in Spanish. The informant was quoted a price of $130 and told to text a photo and biographical information to the phone number. The informant was later told that another man, Tito, would deliver the cards.
A few weeks later, the informant called Tito, who said he could provide the fraudulent documents, records show. On May 28, the informant and Tito agreed to meet at a location off 28th Street SE in Kentwood to provide the documents, authorities said. Later, the informant looked at photos of Perez-Mijangos on Facebook to positively identify him as the man who sold the documents, special agent Thomas Schifini wrote in the complaint.
The investigation showed that Perez-Mijangos acted as the "sales guy," while Baron-Vidal produced the documents at two makeshift labs in Wyoming homes.
Police say Baron-Vidal rented a room on Jean Street SW and a bedroom in the basement of another home on Eden Street SW. Police found fraudulent documents and equipment used to make the documents, Schifini wrote.
He learned of the scheme from a man who has since returned to Mexico, the investigator said.
Police also found "numerous fraudulent identification cards and a notepad with numerous names and dates of birth written inside" in Perez-Mijangos' rented room on Labelle Street SW in Grand Rapids, the investigator said.

PREHABILITATION Pre-Surgery GOALS
After an ACL injury it is very important to start exercising as soon as possible. This is helps retain your muscle strength around the ACL, range of motion and control swelling. These functions are vital to prepare an injured athlete for ACL surgery. These exercises can begin immediately after an ACL injury.
Cardiovascular Fitness
Exercise Bike
(10-60 minutes, 3 times per week)
This exercise can be started immediately after suffering an ACL injury. The key is to retain motion of the knee. When sitting on the bike it is important to set the seat height to work on both knee extensions (straightening) and flexion (bending). If one sets the seat higher, it will force the knee into extension. If one sets the seat lower, it will work the flexion.
Resistance is not important, only the motion. If one cannot initially make a full rotation, half rocking rotations will be helpful.

She doesn't need 3loop steps 2a. No need for 2a when u had 2 3as.
She doesn't need 3loop steps 2a. No need for 2a when u had 2 3as.
3Loop+2Loop combo is worth slightly more than 3Loop+2Axel sequence anyway.
This would be the most viable 8-Triple program for her:
I wish she would try to make history by being the first woman to do 4 Triples in the SP and 8 Triples in the LP.
Yuna skating clean > Asada skating clean, Yuna skating non-clean > Asada skating non-clean.. o.O
What scores are you talking about, the ones 25 points below Yuna's best?
So let's say Yuna even falls something and misses an entire 3-3 combination in her FS... That drops her from 150 to 142 or so, right? Mao's still never gotten there.
Why should Yu-Na not be expected to skate clean? She skated two clean SP's and two clean LP's last season and she has the experience of doing it at the Olympics. Nobody is more consistent than her.
I disagree that Yu-Na will only win if she skates clean. She has room for one jump mistake in her LP, unless Asada skates perfectly (something she has never done before).
This season is oddly playing out like last season so far. Kostner starts off rather weak. Kim is missing and won't be seen until December. Asada is winning the Grand Prix.
I think getting so overly focused on the 3A has probably been the biggest problem in Mao's entire career. If anything, she needs a 3-3 combination now more than she did in Vancouver. Even if she manages to land a clean solo 3A and a 3A+2T combination, the chances if her getting a +GOE on both are really slim. The big base value of the 3A with the -GOE wasn't as much of an issue when fewer skaters had a 3-3 combination and Yu-Na wasn't racking up such huge scores with a clean (or mostly clean) program. There was a point in time where Mao could realistically still finish 1st with a mess up on a 3A, even if other skaters all had clean programs. That just isn't the case anymore.
I always hoped that once Mao had all her 3A's ratified in competition, she would drop the focus on them... especially after so many years of playing the same game with a 3A in the SP and potentially two in the LP and never really having it pay off. I also have a hard time believing that ANY coach would continue to push this 3A obsession so much and wouldn't have tried to sway her over to getting a 3-3 competition worthy again (I've always had the suspicion that a lot of her coaching changes could have been made over that argument). There are just so many drawbacks to the 3A and 3A+2T combination in the LP for Mao (the prep time for both jumps, the disruption to the program if she falls, the potential of losing the combination jump altogether or having it downgraded to a 2A, the consistent -GOE's... to name a few), and I think a lot of the skating community is getting a bit tired of the same drama over the same jumps with Mao.
Can anyone explain why Mao insists on doing a 3F-3Lo (really 2Lo this season) instead of 3F-3T? Does the Zayak rule prohibit her from doing this layout:
3A, 3F-3T, 3Lz, 2A-3T, 3S, 3Lo, 3F-2Lo-2Lo? That seems like her best shot of getting the maximum number of points from the jump elements. I don't see her getting 3F-3Lo ratified especially when she's getting calls on her 2Los this season. IMO, doing 2 triple axels in the free program is a big mistake. Even if she makes them (and that's a big if considering she's been double-footing them this fall), she'll have mistakes on her jumps elsewhere that will cost her points in base value and GOE.
If she insists on keeping 2 3 Los, I could see is getting rid of the 3F-2Lo-2Lo combo and doing something like 3F-1/2 Loop-3Lo. It seems like she's almost guaranteeing herself a downgrade if she keeps the 3Lo as back part of a combo and she can't do 2 solo 3Los so...
But, well, Mr. Sato is probably in a better position to judge what Mao should attempt. So... who knows? Like the 3-axel, I think she is landing apparently clean 3flip-3loop combinations in practice. Her team still has Grand Prix Final, Nationals, and even the Olympics team event (where I guess Mao will skate the SP) to see if the 3flip-3loop combo is a realistic inclusion.

GW Men's Hoops Tips Off #RevRivalry at Mason on NBCSN
arv/arv GW (15-3, 3-1) at George Mason (7-12, 0-5) | Saturday, Jan. 25 | Patriot Center | 12 p.m. | NBCSN
Jan. 23, 2014
GW Notes at George Mason (1/25/14)
WHO: GW Men's Basketball (15-3, 3-1)
WASHINGTON - GW men's basketball opens the Revolutionary Rivalry series against Atlantic 10 newcomer George Mason on Saturday, Jan. 25, at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. The first-ever A-10 meeting between the programs will be televised nationally on NBCSN.
GW holds a 10-2 advantage in the series against GMU that dates back to 1975. The Colonials have won all nine meetings at the Charles E. Smith Center and are 1-2 at the Patriot Center following a 60-46 loss in the two teams' most recent meeting on Dec. 1, 2010.
Saturday's game is the first of two meetings between the programs in the inaugural year of the Revolutionary Rivalry, an annual competition between the new A-10 rivals separated by less than 20 miles. The winner of Saturday's game will give its school a 5-4 lead in the quest for the Tri-Corner Hat Trophy. Visit GWsports.com/rivalry for more information, schedule and standings, and use #RevRivalry to join the battle on social media.
The two programs set the new Rivalry aside earlier this week when players from both teams visited Southeast's D.C. Homeless Shelter on Martin Luther King Day to distribute winter coats to children and families as part of Coats for Kids, the Children's Charities Foundation's charitable drive aided by funds raised at the annual BB&T Classic.
The Colonials enter on a three-game win streak following a 79-71 victory at St. Bonaventure last Saturday. Graduate student Maurice Creek made five 3-pointers, including four in the second half, to lead all scorers with 21 points. Sophomore Kethan Savage totaled 17 points, five assists, four steals and four rebounds, and sophomore Kevin Larsen finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. GW trailed 30-29 at halftime, but shot 58 percent in the second half, including 5-of-8 behind the arc, and received 14 second-half points from Creek, 13 from Larsen and 12 from Savage to emerge victorious at SBU.
GW's team success can be illustrated by consistency in all facets of the game as it's currently the only team in the A-10 ranked in the top five in the conference in the key categories of scoring offense (5th, 75.3 ppg), scoring defense (4th, 66.0 ppg), field goal percentage (4th, 46.7%) and field goal defense (3rd, 41.2%).

WQED-FM's Gleeful Week in May Fundraiser
PITTSBURGH – WQED-FM 89.3 www.wqed.org/fm and its supporters invite listeners along for a Gleeful Week in May as the legendary classical music station welcomes local glee clubs, community leaders and artists on air to participate in a very special week of community spirit from May 1 through 8.
The week of fundraising will involve everyone from students to performers as participants. WQED-FM personalities Jim Cunningham, Ted Sohier, Anna Singer and Stephen Baum will welcome special guests to raise funds to continue the classical music format that has defined the station since 1973.
"Fundraising drives on radio are intimate experiences," said Deborah L. Acklin, president and chief executive officer of WQED Multimedia. "The WQED-FM audience loves classical music and they love the local arts and culture news and local performances that we tape and air."
"It's a very communal experience, and we hope to show through this fundraising drive that the entire community is involved and stands behind WQED-FM and its mission."
The week will be underscored with performances by local glee clubs from seven area schools, who will participate in this unique format throughout the week. Be sure to listen to hear how their music punctuates and adds commentary throughout the day.
Glee clubs and choirs that will be participating, with more to come as the week progresses:
• Colfax Elementary School, Squirrel Hill
• Fox Chapel Area High School Concert Choir
• Upper St. Clair High School
• Pittsburgh Opera
• Bach Choir
• Mendelssohn Choir
• Shadyside Presbyterian Church
• Winchester Thurston School
• Pittsburgh CAPA
Ceci Sommers, former manager of WQED-FM, has been instrumental in the planning of this drive. She and her husband Jack Sommers started WQED-FM in 1973.
"A Gleeful Week in May will be like an old-fashioned barn raising," said Sommers. "It promises to spark a community conversation, get more people involved with WQED-FM and show that Pittsburgh wants and needs an outlet for local classical music that enhances the quality of life in the region."
In the days leading up to A Gleeful Week in May, Sommers challenged WQED-FM listeners to "write a better pledge pitch" and submit it for use during the fundraiser. The response to that appeal has been great including a fan that identified himself as an 89 year-old blind poet from Oakland and a minister and her husband from Butler who put an antenna on their home to get better reception for the drive. They wrote and sang an original Bluegrass version of "You Are My Sunshine." Tune in from May 1 – 8 and hear them all.
Additional highlights of A Gleeful Week in May include:
• Local restaurants, theaters, hotels, performing arts groups, and corporations will donate tickets and gift certificates as "thank you" gifts for listeners who call with their pledge of support to WQED-FM.
• Local personalities will be on the air throughout the week with their thoughts on the importance of WQED-FM in the community.
• Sunday afternoon's programming will highlight or feature music recorded by local choirs.
• FM Angels, listeners who contribute with a new or renewing gift at the $1,000 level will receive special attention as leaders who are keeping WQED-FM a vibrant source for classical music, local arts and culture.
WQED PITTSBURGH has a proud history of honors, including 128 National and Mid-Atlantic Emmy® Awards, an Academy Award, and many, many others, including two Emmy® Awards for Station Excellence. WQED was founded in 1954 as the nation's first community-supported broadcaster. The people of WQED create, produce and distribute quality programs, products and services to engage, inform, educate and entertain the public within their community and around the world.

At the I/O developers conference yesterday, Google unveiled their vision of the set-top box, called Android TV. Packing much more than just screen mirroring as in Chromecast, the Android TV sounds better than the recently announced Amazon Fire TV. However, for Apple TV Hacks followers, most of the features on Android TV would seem like deja vu.

At 43, Stan Smagala Sacks His Insurance Career to Tackle An Old Love: College Football
Smagala, at 43 (his age and his number), is, in all likelihood, the oldest college football player in America. After 17 years as a hard-driving insurance salesman, he was ordered by his doctor to slow down. So Smagala turned his business over to wife Christine, 35, and went back to school. But after signing up for accounting, computers and music theory, Smagala still felt something was missing. His decision to go out for football made Christine a new kind of football widow. "I never get to see him," she says. "But it doesn't matter because I'm too busy selling insurance." Says Stan, "This is the best move I've ever made. My wife has a new career, and I'm rediscovering my youth."
He's also been rediscovering how his body reacts to being pummeled by opponents. Two cracked ribs, three broken fingers and a sprained neck kept him on the bench most of last season. This time around he suffered a few more broken ribs, but they're almost healed, and Stan may get a chance to start the final two games of the season. Says head coach Dennis Wierzal, "What it gets down to is that we only go around once in life, and this is something that Stan had his heart set on doing. One thing does bother me, though: I have trouble bawling out Stan the way I do the other kids. He's as old as I am."
Moraine Valley's quarterback, Tom Marek, 19, has a different problem. "In the huddle once, I called him 'Mr. Smagala.' I mean, after all, his son, Stanley Jr., is a close friend of mine." Adds Tom of his graying teammate, "At first we thought he had some screws loose. But he paid the price to make the team. He passed the physical, did the two-a-day drills in the August sun and played with injuries and pain. Plus, we like the publicity." Smagala claims to be in great shape. "I'm eighth on the team in strength exercises. I can do 35 leg squats with 250 pounds, and I run the 40 yards in 4.7."
That's only .2 slower than his high school record. The son of a gas company salesman, Smagala was a three-letter man in high school who gave up a chance to try out as a pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. Instead he entered a Catholic seminary, intending to become a priest. But after two years he dropped out to "explore the music scene." Most weekends he still performs with a soft-rock band, playing bass and singing the lead on My Girl and When a Man Loves a Woman, which he sang at his wedding to Christine 18 years ago. After the births of Stan, now 17, and Sherri, 16, he began selling insurance to pay the bills.
Smagala is so pleased with his new career that he talks about moving up to a four-year college, where "the coaching staff believes an old man can still run with the football." If he does, he and Stan Jr. could be first-year men together. Why not? Says Smagala Sr., "I feel like a kid again." Then, when Christine isn't listening, he adds, "It sure beats talking to people about insurance."

James Holmes: A man who has secured his place in history in the worst way. A man whose face and alleged deeds will forever be etched into our collective memories.
Holmes is accused of walking into a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and opening fire on dozens of moviegoers as they watched the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises". In a calculated and apparently well thought out action, Holmes allegedly fired on the crowd using several weapons. In the aftermath of the bloody rampage, 12 people lay dead or dying and 59 others were wounded.
Surprisingly, Holmes made no attempt to flee the scene. He was taken into custody just outside the theater without incident. A man who witnesses and police described as armed to the teeth, complete with body armor and seemingly prepared to die; quietly surrenders to police without even firing another shot. His motive is currently unknown.
As the nation reels from the Holmes attack, another gunman targets worshipers at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. The alleged shooter is an Army veteran with reported ties to White Supremacists. His attack kills six people and wounds four others. The attack is labelled a hate crime.
Another man goes berserk in Texas and kills a constable and a bystander before police shoot and kill the gunman. Another police officer and bystander are also wounded. The reported motive for the shooting? An eviction notice.
The most recent incident at the time of this writing has been yet another shooting. This one involving four Louisiana police officers. Two officers were killed and two others injured in what has been described as an ambush. The gunman allegedly used an assault weapon to shoot the officers. The reason for the shooting is currently under investigation.
Four incidents. Three police officers killed, four injured. Nineteen civilians killed, 64 injured for a total of 90 people killed or injured in the span of mere weeks. All allegedly done by four gunmen.
Meanwhile, reports of standoffs and bomb threats from all over the country continue to come in. In addition to this, there have been several wildfires springing up in many areas of the nation. Some of which have been confirmed as arson while others are suspected cases. Although these acts, with some possible exceptions, appear to be random with no connections, they still bring up some important and intriguing questions: What prompted these people to act in the ways they did? Why did they randomly target people? Why have all of these incidents taken place within such a short time span? Are these just coincidences or could this be something more sinister? Something more insidious?
Before we go any further, this is not an attempt to advocate some shadowy conspiracy theory. However, this is equally not an attempt to discredit anyone's interpretation of these events either. This is merely an examination of these incidents and the possible ramifications that may be involved.
Since the James Holmes incident there have been several similar incidents in relatively rapid succession. These events have already spurred renewed debates on gun-control laws in the U.S. While advocates of tighter gun legislation argue that these incidents can be prevented by stricter laws, opponents of tougher laws counter with the argument that stronger laws only serve to make law-abiding citizens sitting ducks for criminals.
Although both sides have valid arguments and concerns, they both fail to address one important question? What good are these restrictions and laws against the James Holmeses of the world? Holmes reportedly legally and lawfully owned each weapon that he allegedly used in the Aurora, Colo., theater massacre. What's more is that the purported thousands of rounds he allegedly had in his possession were legally purchased as well--online.
The other day as I strolled through a local Wal-mart, a familiar sight caught my eye. There nestled among the hunting rifles and various shotguns were several military-style rifles resembling the M-16. The M-16 and its variants are the preferred weapon of the U.S. armed forces and other nations around the world. Upon closer inspection I could see that these were not mere low-caliber lookalikes but in fact the civilian analogues of the military weapon, complete with 30-round magazine. There on the tag the description was plainly written, "Caliber .223 Remington/5.56 NATO". A few feet from the weapons was another locked case with several different brands of ammunition to fit the weapon.
For less than $600.00 someone could have the firepower of a combat soldier at their disposal. While this certainly is legal I paused to ask myself why a regular person would even need to have that kind of firepower. More importantly, I asked myself what would happen if some deranged person walked into the store with that kind firepower. At that moment, a cold shudder came over me. We would all be sitting ducks unless someone managed to disarm the attacker or is possibly armed as well. Regardless, the thought of my local Wal-mart becoming a war zone was not a pleasant thought.
Perhaps the most concerning aspect of all is why has there been an apparent rash of these incidents lately? In three of the incidents, law enforcement officers were intentionally targeted and in all instances except the Sikh temple shooting, the civilians were apparently targeted at random. The motive for the Sikh temple shooting is believed to be racially motivated however, the gunman allegedly took the time to attempt to ambush responding police.
With the exception of the Sikh temple shooting, authorities have been careful not to label these acts as terrorism--including the Aurora massacre! Are these isolated incidents or could it be the beginning of a trend?
While there are as yet no apparent connections between these individual events, there is still a common thread among them all. Each gunman apparently believed that violence was the only way to get his point across--even if it meant shedding the blood of innocents.
There are those who may argue that James Holmes and the Texas A&M shooter could have committed those acts because of mental illness. The same could even be said of the other two incidents and every similar incident before and all that may occur in the future.
Do we blame such occurrences on mental defects or can we attribute them to the darkness hidden within the human psyche? Do we point the finger at some chemical imbalance in the brains of those who commit these heinous acts or is it a manifestation of the destructive nature that lies just beneath humanity's veneer of civility?
No matter what perspective we view these situations in, it is apparent that there are those who have no qualms about plunging over the edge of insanity and into the abyss.

Sounds delicious! But you had me there for a moment....with the mole I mean!No, not sauce made out of moles, I mean the Mexican sauce that is often made with chile and chocolate
Last night was roast chicken night and I had a hankering for something a little different, so I whipped up this attempt at mole sauce. Not sure how authentic it is, but it was delicious!
Lard (or fat of choice)
veggies of choice (I used zucchini and red pepper)
1 medium size red chili pepper (not sure what kind, I removed about 3/4 of the seeds, which still made for a nice spicy sauce)
1 TB unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
scant 1/4 tsp allspice
scant 1/4 tsp powdered ginger
1/4 tsp ground mixed spice (in the UK this is a mix of cinnamon, coriander, caraway, ginger, fennel and turmeric, could possibly substitute curry powder in the US?)
about 1 cup of roast chicken drippings (I coat the skin in butter for roasting, so there's plenty of liquid)
3 heaping TB salsa
1 TB red wine vinegar
1. Over medium heat saute the veggies in lard for a few minutes (I think onions would also be great, but I none in the house last night)
2. Turn the heat down a bit and add the cocoa powder and spices and stir to coat. Let the spices get nice and aromatic in the fat, but the heat should be low enough that they don't burn.
3. Pour in the chicken drippings and simmer for a few more minutes until the veggies are done cooking.
4. Stir in the salsa and red wine vinegar and taste the sauce to test for seasoning. At this point I added just a smidge (about a tsp) of a banana/date chutney I made, just for a hint of sweetness. It wasn't really noticeable and I could probably have gotten away without it, so use your own judgement. You can also add more salsa if you want to make it a bit saucier!
5. Serve over some salad leaves (I used spinach) and a leg of roast chicken.
I and my carb-eating flatmate both loved it, it was definitely a unique taste and had a lot of kick!

- 1 dozen corn tortillas, preferably stale, or left out overnight to dry out a bit, quartered or cut into 6 wedges
- Corn oil
- Salt
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups Tomatillo Salsa
- 2 Grilled Chicken Breasts Shredded
- Cotija Cheese or Queso Fresco
- Crema Mexicana
- Cilantro, chopped
- Chopped red onion
- Avocado, sliced or roughly chopped
1. In a large sauté pan, coat pan generously with corn oil, (1/8 inch), heat on medium high to high. When the oil is quite hot, add the tortillas, fry until golden brown. Remove tortillas to a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil. Sprinkle a little salt on the tortillas. Wipe pan clean of any browned bits of tortillas.
*If you would like a quicker version of Chilaquiles, you can buy tortilla chips and skip all of step 1 and begin with step 2. However, the flavor of making your own chips is fantastic!
2. Add 2 Tbsp oil to pan, bring to high heat again. Add the salsa and let salsa cook for several minutes. Then add the fried tortilla quarters to the salsa. Gently turn over the pieces of tortilla until they are all well coated with salsa. Let cook for a few minutes more.
3. Next, grill and shred 2 chicken breasts to add as a garnish.
4. Remove from heat. Serve chilaquiles with garnishes and a side of beans.
Yield: Serves 4.

Along with his work for the National Park Service, Dixon also formed a life-long passion for educating and working with youth about our natural surroundings.
Following 35 years with the National Park Service, which also included time as the superintendent of the Stephen T. Mather Training Center, Watson received the U.S. Department of the Interior Meritorious Service Award in 1998. In addition to his accolades, Watson represented the National Park Service during special international training and consultation programs concerning interpretation, park operations, and education.
The Sunday Circle Talks at Ferry Hill Plantation are free of charge, and visitors are encouraged to bring a lawn chair for the event.
Ferry Hill is a 19th century plantation house overlooking the scenic C&O Canal NHP and is located on the Maryland side of the Potomac River Bridge from historic Shepherdstown.

Historical Traveler Reviews New West Inn Amsterdam
Very good hotel
Visiting with friends and booked 2 rooms for 3 nights for 250 euros/room including breakfast. Enjoyable stay. Very clean with good size rooms and excellent furnishings. Breakfast adequate with cold meats, cheese, cereals, eggs etc . Arrived about 10.30 am and the hotel checked us in straight away which was very helpful considering the time we set off. Not the easiest hotel to find. Was well hidden by trees. If travelling from Schipol get off at "station lelyaan" and catch "osdorp" tram 17 to "hoekenes". As you get off the tram there is a canal facing you. To the left of the canal is a path. To the right is a street. If daytime walk down path for about 200m,turn left at the end and take 1st right. Hotel on right. If night and because path is quite dark walk down the street and turn left at bottom. Was plesently surprised to find shops and restaurants close by. Some reviews had failed to mention this. Very good value italian restaurant in shopping parade about 200m from hotel together with a spar supermarket etc. Journey from hotel to Amsterdam centre by tram is easy and takes between 20-30 mins max. Would stay at this hotel again. Enjoy Amsterdam, we did.
Nice hotel to stay
I booked this hotel after reading the reviews from trip advisor. I found the hotel right as was written in the reviews.
Pluses: Nice clean hotel, quite residential area; large room; friendly staff, easily approachable by tram 17 (to Osdorp and getting down at Hoekenes) from central statio.
Negs: No room service for anything; breakfast not included in the package; 30-35 min tram ride from central station (but worth going).
If one has enough time in amsterdam and does not want to stay in the busy area of city centre, worth trying this hotel.
Great Place
I was in Amsterdam at the end of July. We stayed at the Tulip Inn City West. It was a great place. After the small rooms in Paris and London, the vastness of the rooms at the Tulip Inn were greatly appreciated. The staff was friendly, and the rooms were clean. The buffet was wonderful as well. It is kind of far from the main attractions of Amsterdam, however the scenery from the tram rides were worth it. Hint: if you take a cab back to the hotel, have a map handy. Not all the cabbies knew where it was.
Dogs ballocks
this hotel is the creme de la creme it will be hard to beat and is well worth the 20 min tram ride to city centre
A little out of the way, but very nice
We stayed at the hotel from 24 Sept to 27 Sept. We got a Sept discount with the room (double room) for 69 Euros a night, including the buffet breakfast, which was a great deal. The room was large and comfortable, the staff was helpful and well versed in english, and the buffet was good. The only downside was the distance to city centre (about 35 min by tram to Dam Square). We took Tram 17, and it's about a 10 min walk to the nearest tram stop... not great if you come in with luggage via the tram. The walk to the tram stop can be a bit scary at night if you walk through the park... avoid it and walk along the street on the other side of the canal.
Overall, we were very happy with the hotel. We didn't mind the time and distance from the city centre, and the comfort the hotel offered generally made it worth the inconvenience.
Good choice for an inexpensive non centre hotel
Stopped for a late booking business trip here. Hotel was a bit intimidating as you arrive (looks like another one of the sorrounding blocks of flats) but once you get in it starts to look like a decent hotel. The room was very BIG for the money - clean, 2tv's, AC, deep bath, double bed, room service etc.
Restaurant was a bit flaky - lots of tourist coaches at the hotel and the tourists arrive in the restaurant in waves, swamping the buffet section. The menu section wasn't that good - you'll get better food, value and service going out.
Hotel is some way out from town, but I would recommend it (especially after staying at the Slotania the week before).
Desk clerk with attitude
We stayed in this Hotel on the last weekend of June 2004. The Hotel is OK for a 3 star rating and quite well located if you arrive by car or coach. However it is too far away from the city centre. It takes about 30-35 minutes by tram (line 17) depending on the time of the day. The other problem is that due to being so far away from Central Station (only one stop before the last) the Hotel location does not appear on the city maps, and is nowhere in sight when you alight from the tram, assuming you know where to get off. Also it is not located in a neighbourhood I would walk alone after sunset, and I am not thinking of vampires. Also there are no restaurants in the neighbourhood forcing you to eat whatever the Hotel�s kitchen offers (not much).
We also had the misfortune of being received at our arrival by a woman with bad manners, antagonistic, bordering on belicose. Fortunately the other staff we came across were quite the opposite. In conclusion: too far away from Central and located in a bad area, sort of Fort Apache the Bronx, if you know what I mean.
Great Hotel
I stayed here in February this year, a lovely hotel which takes about 20 minutes by tram to central. There are bus and tram stops nearby which is handy. The hotel room was so clean and tidy and modern, it was really cozy, I will be staying there again. The staff are really helpful and there is a bar open until late. 10 out of 10!!!
Quiet location & big breakfast!
Spent a long week end visiting Amsterdam. As we were arriving on Queens Day accommodation was in short supply. Located in a residential area and took approx. 15-20 minutes on tram to Centraal Station. Main line station also close by. Took train back to Airport. Staff very friendly, room was excellent. Hot and cold buffet breakfast was brilliant, eat as much as you could manage. Would return to this hotel even though it was outside city centre.
Hotel Super, Resturant for dinner SORRY!
We went to Amsterdam and stayed at the Tulip Inn, Amsterdam West last month. This is on the outskirts of Amsterdam Center, and well worth the short drive, or tram ride. The rooms are very, very, clean and have lots of extras. The desk clerks always go over and above their jobs. They take the time to show you where you want to go or just take the time to chat with you. VERY FRIENDLY! This was our second stay their and this year a bottle of wine and 2 glasses were delivered to our room with a "Welcome Back Note", Which I thought was really super! We had only 1 problem while there this year. The staff in the dining room for supper. He was TERRIBLE! He had No COOTH. He was training a new waitress and was yelling at her very loudly in the dining room, so loud that she was almost in tears. Luckily it was in Dutch so I could not understand what he was saying to her. The food was HORRIBLE! We arrived at 8:30 PM for supper, ordered steaks, 2 different kinds. Well at 9:15PM the waiter brought out the wrong steak for my husband and mine was still mooing. (RAW) TOO BLOODY!! So we called him to our table and he said, " Oh i am sorry, Sorry it took so long and was wrong. This will be on the house and I will bring you 2 more cokes on the house also." Well at 10:00PM, they started cleaning the tables off and setting them up for breakfast and we still had NO FOOD! We started to leave and he brought our food. Mine now was so well done I could not eat it. I ordered it to be med. rare. Not still mooing and not burnt. My husbands was good. Well I did not eat any of my food, the waiter did NOT come to the table anymore after delivering our food until we started to leave. He said, " Was there a problem?" I explained to him about my food. We started to leave and the waiter brings us a bill with a WHOLE $5.00 taken off!! This was suppose to be "on the house" and instead he says he give us a discount of $5.00. We are talking about a $80.00 bill and he gives us a $5.00 discount. We tr and he said he was not going to do this and then a bar tender comes to us and says, " You have to pay this" Well we paid for this "SLOP", but did complain to the desk clerks who had been so nice and one of them TRIED to get it worked out and all that was said to her was, " They had to pay this and that was that" Well when I got home I emailed the manager and finally got a letter back from her saying next time we come that dinner will be "ON THE HOUSE" I guess she tried! Breakfast is excellant there. The staff is GREAT for breakfast. Very "on the ball" So if you like a good clean hotel, with all the extras and a very good staff up front I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel!
