I would agree with you that this is not the best approach and I don't use it in my code anyway. Yesterday someone asked in the CB about what the following code is doing:
I thought it might be a good idea to post it. It's not that obvious to the less experienced coders that the hash slice @values = @hash{@keys} is involved. There was a supersticious '+' in the original question as well, which I have removed.

Carson, a high school student from Tallahassee, FL., spots a Weedle in the Terminal 1 Ticketing Lounge while playing Pokemon Go.
It's only been a few days, but the new Pokemon Go smartphone app has become a phenomenon. The augmented reality game collects location and visual information from users phones, and utilizing the GPS and camera features, creates a Pokemon-filled world for the player that's integrated with the real world around them. Players have been catching Pokemon characters all over Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. The game's slogan is, "Gotta Catch 'Em All," and people are trying to do just that. The latest news reports indicate there are more than 21 million players each day, and the Pokemon craze is only picking up speed.
Staff members at Auntie Anne's twist dough into pretzels at Terminal 2.
For the perfect buttery salty-sweet treat, it's hard to beat Auntie Anne's famous pretzels. The aroma alone is as delicious as the fresh-made dough, and can make mouths water just by walking past the store. Auntie Anne's can be found in Terminal 2, so if you're flying Southwest Airlines, you're in just the right spot to grab one and go. Each pretzel is hand-twisted into the recognizable shape. Once cooked, the treat is dusted with a variety of toppings and flavors to satisfy every savory or sweet tooth.
5:15 p.m. update:
Ameren Missouri restored full power to Terminal 1 approximately 5 p.m. today. A blown transformer caused a power outage at 11:15 affecting airlines and airport operations in Terminal 1 and Concourses A & C.
Emergency power was utilized immediately for health, safety and critical building operations. However, the outage caused issues with baggage delivery systems, airline computer stations and some gate operations. Approximately 10 flights were cancelled because of the outage. Many more flights were delayed. Airlines were able to process ticketing and handle some gate operations, but experienced delays during the outage. The TSA performed manual baggage checks as well during the outage. The Airport and concessionaires handed out bottle water and snack to passengers throughout the afternoon.
While power is restored, there are still some systems that will take longer to reset. Operations should be back to normal after 6 p.m. tonight.
The Airport will work with Ameren in the coming days to determine what may have caused the outage.
Terminal 1 airlines continue to work through issues related to a blown transformer that created a loss of full power for Terminal 1 at approximately 11:15 a.m. Sunday.
Backup generators are currently providing power to health, safety and critical building systems for Terminal 1 and Concourse A & C. Airlines are still able to operate but their ticketing, gate and baggage delivery systems are impacted. There are delays and longer than normal waits for check-in for airlines in Terminal 1. Passengers flying out Sunday afternoon should arrive earlier than normal if they have confirmed their flight status with their airline.
Concessions and other services are also impacted by the power outage.
Airport crews and Ameren immediately responded to the outage and are working to restore full power later today.
This power outage does not affect Terminal 2 or Southwest Airlines.
Heather with Go Best Express wears moose ears to celebrate the International Moose Convention in St. Louis.
It was Moose madness at Lambert Airport on Thursday, when nearly 3,000 travelers flew in for the 2016 International Moose Convention being held in St. Louis. Go Best Express handled the majority of the ground transportation, and employees celebrated by wearing giant moose ears. Even the monkey Go Best keeps behind the counter was sporting a pair. Former Moose International Grand Council Member and Moose of 34 years, Abby (not pictured), was waiting at Go Best to be transported and said on behalf of the organization, "We are very grateful to St. Louis for hosting us." She emphasized that "the public is welcome to come and be a part of the community." The Moose organization contributes between $75 to $100 million worth of community service (counting monetary donations, volunteer hours worked and miles driven) annually to help brighten the futures of thousands of children in need across North America.
Construction worker, Norm Smith, ties rebar on the Lambert International Blvd. bridge.
If you've driven to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport this summer, you may have been diverted around some road construction in front of Terminal 1. A major bridge rehabilitation project is underway, and this week aged steel rebar was replaced with a green, epoxy-coated version that is more resistant to corrosion. It's just one of the many components that make up Phase 1 of the project. The bridge repairs will continue in various phases through late fall of 2016. Crews will be replacing bridge bearings, patching concrete, resurfacing the bridge deck and resurfacing the approaching sections of the roadway that connect to the bridge. The structure was built in the 1960's and repairs and maintenance are being done due to its age.
Lambert Airfield Maintenance mows grass in the Runway 11 approach area amid sequence-flashing approach lights.
This week has been HOT. St. Louis has seen the heat index soar into the triple digits, but that doesn't stop airport workers from getting the job done. Keeping grasses mowed around the airfield is vital for safety and wildlife management. Once spring hits, the airport's fleet of mowers are put to work every day. Mowing in a Runway Safety Area (250 feet from each side of the runway center line, and 1,000 feet from each end of the runway) requires coordination with Lambert's Airfield Operations department and the Air Traffic Control Tower. Before work can begin, the runway must be closed to all air traffic for safety. The runway is then inspected to ensure all ground workers are clear before the runway re-opens.
Local news media film Southwest Airlines at a press conference and celebration for peaking 100 flights a day from STL.
Southwest Airlines has taken center stage this summer at STL. This week Lambert's largest carrier hit a major milestone, reaching 100 daily flights. With the June 5 launch of new non-stop service from St. Louis to Oakland, CA (OAK), Cleveland, OH (CLE) and Portland, OR (PDX), Southwest now operates 103 flights per day to 43 destinations. To accommodate the growth, Southwest Airlines expanded by adding two new gates in Terminal 2. Southwest has added six other non-stop destinations since the start of summer of 2015: Austin, TX (AUS); Orange County, CA (SNA); Little Rock, AR (LIT); Pittsburgh, PA (PIT); Des Moines, IA (DSM) and Wichita, KS (ICT). Connecting passenger activity at Lambert is on an 18 percent growth trend in 2016 with 92 percent of connecting passengers on Southwest.
An employee restocks the shelves at Dunkin' Donuts in Concourse A on National Donut Day.
It was sweet way to kick-off the weekend, as the Dunkin' Donuts locations in Lambert-St. Louis International Airport celebrated National Donut Day. The popular chain offered a worldwide promotion where customers could receive a free donut of their choice with the purchase of any beverage. Passengers were quick to take advantage of the sweet deal, as lines could be seen throughout the day at both of the airport's Dunkin' Donuts locations. People love these glazed treats year-round, too. In 2015, Dunkin' Donuts served nearly 1.2 million donuts to Lambert passengers. Stores can be found at Terminal 1 in Concourse A, and in Concourse E at Terminal 2.
Works by Prominent Architectural Photographer Ken Konchel on Display in Terminal 1
"St. Louis architecture forms the physical environment of our lives. It connects us to the past, it helps define our relationships to one another, and it gives us a sense of place and identity," said Konchel. "Most importantly, St. Louis architecture enhances our creative legacy. Yet something so integral to the sense of who we are - something that contributes immeasurably to our quality of life - is often dismissed as mundane, taken for granted, or at worst ignored."
Konchel hopes to raise awareness and appreciation for St. Louis architecture by presenting it as engaging, dynamic geometric arrangements. He describes his style as interactions that remove the context and distill architecture to minimalist relationships of shape, line, pattern, detail and/or texture.
His six images capture the beauty and subtleties of the West Campus Building of Washington University (formerly a Famous-Barr Department Store), St. Mark's United Methodist Church, the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, the Priory Chapel, the former American Zinc, Lead and Smelting Company building, and the First Church of Christ, Scientist. The large, backlit glass display windows allow admirers to view the works up-close and in detailed clarity.
The exhibit runs through May 2017, and can be viewed in Terminal 1 on the lower-level, along the passageways to and from baggage claim.
Ken Konchel's exhibition is supported by the Lambert Art & Culture Program, which is dedicated to promoting local cultural works and institutions to area residents and St. Louis visitors. The Lambert Art & Culture Program is led by the seven-member Airport Art Advisory Committee. Current members are Shelley Hagan, Wells Fargo Curator Corporate Art; Laura Helling, Director of Development for Wings of Hope; Marilu Knode, Director of Laumeier Sculpture Park; Leslie Markle, Curator of Public Art, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum; Kiku Obata, Founding Principal of Kiku Obata & Co.; Roseann Weiss, Director of Community and Public Arts for the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission; and Freida L. Wheaton, Salon 53 and Founder of Alliance of Black Art Galleries.
Avoid parking fees the next time you pick up a passenger. Lambert provides free waiting zones for motorists near each terminal.

Frost River Sweatshirt
USA-made hoodie or crewneck sweatshirts, embroidered with the Frost River logo. Available in multiple colors, sizes S-XXL.Specifications
It's not easy to find a great sweatshirt. It's gotta have the right feel (heavyweight material), it's gotta be cut well (just long enough in just the right places), and it needs to be a cool color (no pastels please). If it has all that, is made in America, and advertises a cause you believe in with a cool logo… it makes it an easy decision.
Our hoodie and crewneck sweatshirts are made in U.S.A. of an 80/20 cotton/polyester blend, that much cotton makes it soft, the polyester adds durability and functional value outdoors. Navy, Brown, and Gray are classic, bold colors that work outside or indoors and will look good on men or women. The Frost River logo with our caribou mascot is skillfully embroidered in three colors on the chest. Check our our Zip Hoodies here.

DONUT 1: 'So an owner, a point guard and a Cablinasian walk into a bar' ...
The Dallas Mavericks aren't allowed to venture into recruiting Chris Paul or any other 2013 NBA free agents until midnight, July 1.
But that doesn't mean the rich and famous can't hobnob together for a good cause.
As we reported Saturday morning: Tiger Woods and skier girlfriend Lindsey Vonn were the hosts this weekend at his annual "Tiger Jam.'' The photo is from "Poker Night'' at Moorea Beach Club Beachside Casino at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. It's a $10,000 buy-in poker tournament that benefits The Tiger Woods Foundation ... and of course, that 10 grand fee keeps the riff-raff out.
And invites the likes of Cuban and Paul in.
photo courtesy of Daniel Shak via Twitter
DallasBasketball.com reported earlier this month that Paul is the Mavs' No. 1 target (with Dwight Howard No. 2) in free agency this summer. Paul can re-sign with the Clippers for five years and $107,343,500 or can join a new team like Dallas for four years and $79,714,196.
The Mavs have gained and retained cap room for the last two years for the pursuit of a player of Paul's level to team with Dirk Nowitzki. Nowitzki himself is fully invested in the recruiting process. Meanwhile, as improbable as it seems, DB.com has revealed some of the Mavs' thinking when it comes to ways to acquire Paul AND Howard . But again, acquiring one superstar is challenge enough, especially when it means he is guaranteed $27 mil less to leave his existing team.
DONUT 2: Enjoy the journey. ...
It's a gamble of sorts ... and one that cannot officially begin until July 1. But nothing precludes the parties from doing good deeds for charity.
It's also, quite frankly, something important, fun and interesting to talk about (as Mavs fans do here on DB.com Boards) ... especially if we are wise enough to enjoy the ride.
Yes, you as a Mavs fan are tired of being a FA bridesmaid. For that matter, it seems like forever since you won that title. But for the moment, take some satisfaction in the fact you are being dealt in ... pun intended.
DONUT 3: Oh, and one more thing. ...
As you can see from this photo, Dirk Nowitzki spent the weekend in Vegas, too.
DONUT 4: A Mavs philosophical change? ...
Are the Mavs heading toward a philosophical change in offense?
More than just filling out the roster with the best possible players is at stake for the Dallas Mavericks this summer. We believe a full-on installation of a new offense is potentially at hand.
Since the departure of Steve Nash in 2004, there has been zero question as to whom the top offensive option, scoring alpha dog and franchise centerpiece was in Dallas: Dirk Nowitzki. Over the years, the Mavs' front office has been creative in surrounding Nowitzki with different pieces in order to maximize his effectiveness. Since 2010, the players surrounding the German were so specialized in how they fit and played next to him, the team became "As Dirk goes, the Mavs go."
That credo was never more evident than in recent years, with Nowitzki missing more games than he ever had in his career. Without him, the offense became borderline inept. In terms of simply being able to run consistent plays without their best player, no team seemed more reliant on a superstar than the Mavericks.
Knowing that Dirk is in his mid-30's and a free agent this time next year, the criteria in which Dallas' front office strategizes its way around offseason may be quite different than it has in the past. It's just not smart for the Mavericks to continue to have such heavy reliance on Dirk while he's getting older and beginning to miss more time than ever. At some point something needs to change on offense and while this offseason is crucial for that, there were even signs of a philosophical shift last season.
The proof is in the personnel and the stats.
One measurement to see whether a team is an isolation-based offense or not is by looking at how many of their field goals are assisted. The lower the percentage of assisted field goals (% AST), the more isolation plays a team likely runs. Conversely, the higher the percentage, the more likely it is that a team is focused on ball movement, quick shooting two man games, etc., rather than individual scoring prowess.
Here are a few of the % AST numbers from notable Mavericks seasons in recent history:
|% of Baskets Assisted
|Lost in Conference Finals
|Lost in First Round
|Lost in NBA Finals
|Lost in First Round
|Lost in First Round
|Won NBA Championship
|Missed Postseason
These seasons show various degrees of success with different types of offenses. Want more on the advanced stats and what it means to Dirk, the Dallas offense, and just maybe, Chris Paul?
It's potentially a very important angle. You can only read Kevin Brolan's exclusive DB.com piece on a change in offensive philosophy here ... coming Tuesday.
DONUT 5: Follow the Mavs on Twitter ...
Follow the Mavs on Twitter: Mike Fisher, David Lord and Kevin Brolan keep you up-to-the-minute informed on all things Mavs!
DONUT 6: Graduation time! ...
A tip of the cap of appreciation to Frisco Party Station, your neighborhood headquarters for all your graduation party needs! All the neighborhood schools represented -- college and even high school! -- and the party is on!
DONUT 7: Again I say it: Enjoy the journey! ...
The Knicks were going to push the Heat. The Thunder was going to be a West dynasty. Nothing could stop the Bulls' development. The Warriors, Nuggets, TWolves, Rockets ... all growing toward title contention.
And now ... nothing. Nothing except, maybe, a deeper understanding of what the 2010-11 Mavs accomplished ... and how difficult that mountain is to climb.
DONUT 8: Maybe they miss you, too ...
Did you watch the Knicks, featuring TY and a steeply-declining Kidd, and hope they would win? Because they are Mavs Champions? Or did you watch the Knicks fail in the playoffs and quietly celebrate, because it means Dallas doesn't have to suffer ex-Mavs' new titles being shoved in our faces?
There are some fans who, understandably, will never be convinced that letting Chandler (in particular) go was a responsible basketball move. But for the record: From that Mavs' 2011 title team, Chandler and Kidd haven't won in NY. Jet's Celtics were bounced early, as were Caron's Clippers and Brewer's Nuggets. Barea's T'Wolves? Not a factor. DeShawn and Haywood? Not factors.
Are we missing anybody who is a more successful player now that he's left Dallas?
DONUT 9: A cap-related book-keeping note ...
Would adding both be dependent on a huge jump in the NBA's salary cap? If so, how much of a jump are we talking about?
This has been misunderstood widely since we first detailed it, so one more time: There are ways to acquire two big-money FAs (as unlikely as that might be). But the higher the cap, the more possibilities there are for the Mavs.
So, if we want to hope for a cap increase big enough for the Mavs to simply clear out their roster and then sign Howard and Paul to max deals, the minimum cap number it would take for that would be $67,097,168. (Dirk - 22,721,381; DH12 - 20,513,178; CP3 – 18,960,809; 10 cap holds for empty roster slots - 4,901,800).
We think a cap of $67,097,168 or more is very unlikely. But again, for book-keeping's sake ... there's your most comfortable "magic'' number.
DONUT 10: Thanks to Red Rock! ...
Our North Dallas hangout for sports and live music? It's Red Rock Bar & Grill! They help make DB.com what it is ... thanks, guys!
DONUT 11: Hoop Dreams ...
Premium Mavs has the goods on B-Wright's future. In turn, Wright has a sense of humor about his past, as demonstrated by the photos he tweeted about a once-upon-a-time competition with Marc Gasol. What did Gasol look like in school? Like that.
DONUT 12: The Final Word ...
A CBS report notes that the Mavs will be on Dwight's shortlist. But a) Of course they will. And you already knew that. And b) "being on a shortlist'' isn't very satisfying, is it?

Historical Traveler Reviews The Inn at Christmas Place Pigeon Forge
Nice Hotel Bite Overpriced
We have just returned from a 4 night stay at the Inn At Christmas place overall it is a very nice hotel but I feel a little overpriced for the area. We had a double queen christmas themed room which consisted of 1 wreath a Christmas pillow and few other small trinkets this was a bite disappointing. On night a 2 of our stay the elevators stopped working .While this happened I was in the lobby as three of the managers on duty were informed that a elderly quest on the 4th floor was waiting for a elevator to get down as she was not able to walk down the stairs They did nothing to send help or go themselfs to assist 1 hour later no signs posted or a hotel employee posted on any of the 4 floors to assist guest in getting up or down.The pool areas very nice but there is a height limit on the outdoor slide which should be posted on the web site. On Day 2 I asked if the ajoining room next to my room was availible I was told no at that point I asked is any other rooms were availible that we might be able to move to that had ajoining rooms was told it was not possible. The breakfast in the morning was good but both servers complained about how poorly the room was laided out which made the jobs very hard they are correct and this should be fixed. At $168.00 per night you expect 5 star servicehotel a bellmen at the front door opening it with the handicap button does not win the golden star from me Overall it is a very nice hotel they will work out some of the problems but for me its overpriced and disappointing
¡Cada centavo vale la pena y regresaremos!
Llegamos a Pigeon Forge el 4 de julio, e hicimos el check in a nuestra basura de hotel, el Grand & Basura. Hubo gente que entr� a nuestra habitaci�n mientras los ni�os se estaban cambiando para acostarse. Despu�s de una guerra con el personal de la recepci�n, nos fuimos y nunca volvimos a ver nuestro dinero. Fuimos directamente al Inn at Christmas Place. El personal fue c�lido y acogedor, �y sin reservas, nos dieron una habitaci�n para esa noche, y eso que era fiesta! Tuvimos que cambiar de habitaci�n al d�a siguiente, pero no hubo problema. Nos pasaron el equipaje, todo mientras jug�bamos afuera. La instalaci�n no estaba terminada, pero era hermosa. El botones inclusive nos tom� una foto familiar en frente del gran �rbol navide�o en el vest�bulo para nuestra tarjeta navide�a de este a�o. La decoraci�n era de muy buen gusto, y sent�as que era Navidad cada vez que entrabas al vest�bulo o a tu habitaci�n. Estoy segura de que este hotel estar� lleno en el verano y en el invierno. Nuestra habitaci�n ten�a una chimenea y un jacuzzi. Tambi�n ten�a una cocinita y una m�quina de caf�. La mejor parte de hospedarse aqu� fue el personal. Inclusive le envi� una carta a la gerencia elogiando su buena selecci�n de personal. Nos salvaron las �nicas vacaciones que tenemos al a�o, y no les puedo agradecer lo suficiente por la calidez que nos mostraron. No hay nada como el Inn at Christmas Place. Gracias.
Worth every penny, will go back!
We arrived in Pigeon Forge on July 4th and checked into our dump of a hotel (the Grand & dump). People walked into our room at 11 pm while my minor children were getting ready for bed. After an all out war with the front lobby personnel, we left (never to see our money again!). We went directly over to the Inn at christmas Place. The staff was warm and welcoming and with no reservations, got us a room for the night on a holiday! We had to switch rooms the next day but, no problem, they moved our luggage and all while we were out playing. The facility is not finished but, it is beautiful. The bellman even took our family picture in front of their large Christmas tree in the lobby for our Christmas card this year. The decor is in very good taste and it feels like Christmas everytime you walk in the lobby or your room. I am sure this hotel will be booked in the summer and winter as our room had a fireplace and hot tub! Our room also had a kitchenette and coffee maker. The best part of staying here was the staff. I have even sent a letter to the management complimenting their fine choice in staff. They saved our only vacation of the year and I can't thank them enough for the warmth they showed us. There is no place else like the Inn at Christmas Place! Thanks.
Wunderbares Hotel
Was f�r ein wunderbares Hotel! Nat�rlich ist es neu, es war aber so sch�n, dass wir gleich f�r unseren Urlaub im Dezember reserviert hatten. Der Au�enpool hat sogar eine Rutsche f�r die Kinder. Der T�rsteher konnte gute Tipps geben und er war so hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind modern und komfortabel.
Wonderful Hotel
What a wonderful hotel! Of course it is new, but the place is so nice we reserved it for a trip in December. Outdoor pool has a slide the kids loved it. The doorman was wonderful with suggestions and so helpful. The rooms are so modern and comfortable.
The Inn at Christmas Place
WOW! What a wonderful place this was! The Inn at Christmas Place is brand new and they are still working on getting the place completed. (We stayed here the last week of June 2007) The decorations are absolutely beautiful. The rooms were very comfortable and decorated to higher standards. The beds were extremely comfortable and provided a great night sleep. The pool was outstanding according to our 2 kids age 6&7. The pool had a slide attached to it and our kids could never get enough of it. The location was perfect. We walked to nearby restaurants which were excellent. We enjoyed Bullfish Grill and Johnny Carino's Italian restaurant. We will be back to The Inn at Christmas Place. We must comend the staff. What a great job you all are doing. WONDERFUL.
Going to be a 4 star for sure!!
We were very excited to stay at this inn.
First off, as the previous post states you will not find a more friendlier staff. Make sure you ask the bellmans, Mr. Dwight and Mr. Duhun to share some stories with you. They were such a delight and so helpful. The whole staff seems to be loving their jobs. We stayed 4 nights July 1-5, the hotel is very beautiful, such a great Christmas spirit thoughtout.
The rooms were very well thoughtout. The furniture, drapes, and comforter to decorations-very beautiful. Mircowave and small icebox very useful. The bathroom is smaller than I imaged. We
had a small tub and sink. The balcony was an extra $20 per night and I would not advise this extra fee. Our mountain view was of a large starbucks and porta-potty with a construction site. Yes- the mountains are in the very far view between the side road and the very busy parkway. Which if the A/C wasn't going on we could hear every car that pasted by. I am a very light sleeper which caused alot of lost sleep for me.
I too would have loved to have a iron in my room. Maybe they haven't gotten to that yet. Also the indoor pool, arcade, gym not ready yet. So upon check out I discussed this with them and they took a extra 10% off. Which we thougth were fair.
The breakfast is good. But for my husband and son, who do not eat eggs, would have liked some meat options before hiking.
All in all this is a great place. Some small details that need fixing but from the attutide of the staff, I believe they will do everything to make this a 4 star. The location is great. Easy back roads to get to several popular attractions. Just ask and they will help.
Also we found a great place to eat. The Smokey Mountain Brewery at Waldens Landing about a block from the Inn on the parkway. Great homemade hamburgers and homemade frenchfries for $4.99 great.
Once everything is opened and running smooth. This is going to be the place to stay.
Beautifil, but opened too soon.
We just spent four nights at The Inn at Christmas Place. The hotel is beautiful, but they shouldn't have opened it yet. We had a room with two queen beds and a balcony. As we entered the room, we noticed what looked like crumbs at the foot of one of the beds and a fair amount of dust on the dresser. Nothing major, but it looked like no one had dusted or swept since the room was first set up. There seems to not be much attention to detail by the cleaning staff. I hope that is not something that will continue. Other examples....the tub never looked like it had been cleaned, just given a quick rinse.....coming back to find a new stack of towels with one towel having a very visible red stain. The stain was visible just looking at the stack. I thought, "How could someone set those towels down and not notice that?" We also came back from a day out to find a cigarette butt on our balcony floor.
You won't find a more pleasant, friendly staff anywhere.
There was a small desk/table, about 4 feet by 2 feet with two chairs. One had a dark stain the size of a silver dollar on the back padding. The TV was a nice flat screen HDTV. Cable was pretty basic 60-70 channels, but no HBO type channels and no pay movies. No phone book or hotel/area services literature/book that you normally see in a hotel room. We didn't even have a "Do Not Disturb" sign. There was a hair dryer, but no iron.
There was also a GE microwave and refrigerator and a small one cup coffee maker.
The nightstand had a Sony Dream Machine clock radio/CD player.
Currently, only the first three floors are open. Our room was next to the elevators on the third floor. There is only one set of elevators, just off the lobby. On the third floor, it is open and you can see down to the lobby. If you are a light sleeper, you will want to request a room away from the elevators. You can hear people coming and going on the elevators all night and they have music playing in the lobby and outside the front door area that we could hear in the room....all night. It sounds like a music box playing....all night. There were double doors that can be closed in the hall, to block-off the elevator/lobby noise, but the you hear those doors opening and eventually someone leaves them open.
The second evening, the fire alarm went off. Even though we were already outside at the pool, they asked us to leave the pool and go to the hotel entrance. After a short time, we were permitted to return to our room. From that point until we left, one of the two elevators was out of service.
The complimentary breakfast includes Danish, donuts, a few cereals, bread and bagels. There are also biscuits and gravy and an omelet station. You can get scrambled eggs or an omelet with your choice of cheese, green pepper, onion and ham. They load it. My green pepper and onion omelet had more green pepper than egg.
The Outdoor Pool with 95 Foot Figure-Eight Waterslide is a small pool. Don't expect to swim. The majority of the pool is 3 feet deep with a small part 4 feet deep. If you get eight people in the pool, you are running into someone whenever you turn around.
The "Lush Gardens with Fountains" doesn't exist yet. The pond out front is nice and has several benches.
The indoor pool and hot tub are still under construction. It will be some time before they are ready.
We found the game arcade and exercise rooms to be empty.
The laundry room had a brand new washer and dryer, neither of which was hooked-up.
The ice machine on our floor wasn't working. I didn't check the other floors.
The free high-speed internet access is currently cabled only. They don't know when wireless will be available. They offered me a network cable, but I carry my own.
There is a large two-story glockenspiel/clock on the first floor. It rang large bells on the hour but we were told it wasn't working correctly.
Be sure to get a frequent shopper card at the Christmas Place store across the street. They accept it at the hotel, although they said the two systems aren't connected yet. We were told that you get a $10.00 store voucher for every $250.00 you spend at either place. Your purchases can accumulate for two years, but drop off after that.
As I said, the hotel is beautiful, but if I were going back soon, I wouldn't stay there until they could offer what they advertise, not just a room and breakfast. If that's all you need until they get the rest done, this is the place for you.

Why Lisa Bonet Is Nervous About Her Return to TV
Originally posted 11/06/2008 08:35AM
Lisa Bonet's return to television in a recurring role on the ABC cop drama Life on Mars wasn't easy for the press-shy actress.
"To have my face reinstated in minds and homes once a week was an intense decision," says the star, who achieved fame early in life on the hit Cosby Show.
The paparazzi's interest her in family has been one of the downsides to being back in the public eye. Bonet, 41, has a 16-month-old daughter Lola with boyfriend, actor Jason Momoa (Stargate Atlantis), and is expecting their second child in January.
"It feels like you're being stalked," she says. "As a shy person, that type of attention coming at me violates something. I don't like that it's expected to come with the territory."

Nature Center batty for spiders
Halloween is about ghosts and goblins, pumpkins and corn stalks, tricks or treats and spooky cemeteries. It's also about bats and spiders.
This October, two events will be held at the Woodcock Creek Nature Center to teach more about these creatures.
"We'll have a special session on building your own bat house with Terry Lobdell," said Lynn Sandieson, district manager for the Crawford County Conservation District. "Terry does a lot of a lot of volunteer work here and he is our local bat expert."
Lobdell has constructed numerous bat houses throughout the region, including those at the Woodcock Creek Nature Center. Some of the bat boxes include a clear plastic wall for easier viewing.
"Most of the bats -- we have several colonies of little brown bats -- have now migrated to caves to spend the winter months," Sandieson said. "But during the summer months here, we really don't have a mosquito problem, thanks to the bats."
Bats are more important than Halloween. They are nature's way of helping with insects at night.
"A mature adult female bat will eat her weight every night, eating night flying insects," Lobdell said. "For agriculture they are important because of their nocturnal feeding. They are about the only thing out there eating insects at night."
According to Lobdell, in Crawford County there are two main species of bats, the little brown bat and the big brown bat.
"The bat population here in the region appears to be healthy," he said. "I check several different colonies and they all seem to be thriving except for one colony in the Canadohta Lake area. This colony appear to be suffering from the white nose syndrome, which is a deadly fungal disease for these bats. But back in June we put up more bat boxes in the Woodcock Dam area and one of those colonies had about 100 bats. I was really surprised."
Celebrate the season and learn about building a bat box at the Woodcock Creek Nature Center on Tuesday, Oct. 24, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
A limited number of participants will be accepted. Call (814) 763-5268 for information about this free public event.
The following Tuesday, Oct. 30, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., learn more about spiders with Matt Foradori, a biology professor at Edinboro University. The event is free and open to the public. Call to register.
"Spiders can be polarizing," Foradori said. "Either people like them or hate them. But they are very important as far as insect control is concerned. In our region, despite the rumors sometimes, we really don't have dangerous spiders which are poisonous. I guess it is possible for a dangerous spider to be imported into our region but I have never heard of a dangerous spider here. All spiders have some venom but generally it isn't harmful to humans in our region."
According to Foradori, two spiders people will see are the common garden black and yellow spider and the daddy long legs spider.
"During the fall, the garden spider can get quite large," he said.
"They are beneficial for insect control in home gardens. The daddy long legs are an amazing spider as well. They will attack other spiders and usually win. But they are not really harmful to humans."
According to Foradori, more people are seeing spiders as they move indoors to escape the cold weather.
"But, I think from my research, the spider populations have been down this year because of the dry weather. Spiders need moisture so an area near ponds and swamps would have better insect control because of the spiders."
Bats and spiders are important natural resources and Halloween is sort of their special season. Learn and enjoy more about them this Halloween.

The Buffalo Bills are no strangers to fast starts. They've done it recently in 2011 and 2008 only to fall apart in the second half of the season.
Buffalo has playoff aspirations again in 2012, and must get off to another good start. It starts Sunday with a big AFC East matchup against the rival New York Jets.
Here is a look at Buffalo's first five games:
Week 1: at Jets
Week 2: vs. Kansas City
Week 3: at Browns
Week 4: vs. New England
Week 5: at San Francisco
This is a tricky schedule that includes three road dates in the first five weeks. The key in this stretch is the first three games. Buffalo is good enough to win all three games if the team has its act together. Sunday's game against New York is definitely winnable, although we're picking the Jets in a close one. A win in Week 1 could give the Bills momentum to get off to a 3-0 start. A loss would have the team trying to rebound. But I think Week 4 and Week 5 are probable losses. The Patriots will be well aware of returning to Buffalo after last season's upset at Ralph Wilson Stadium, and a West Coast trip to San Francisco is brutal for any team. So the key for the Bills is winning their first three games.

The Affordable Care Act will cause millions of Americans to pay more for their health insurance, lose their coverage, or have their work hours curtailed, according to Stanford business and law professor Daniel Kessler.
Oliver Wyman consultants estimate that single adults aged 21-29 will endure a rate hike of 46 percent, even after premium assistance from tax credits.
In addition, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that Obamacare will cause 3 million people to lose their insurance completely in 2014. And it expects that 6 million will have to pay the individual-mandate tax penalty in 2016, because they don't want or can't afford coverage.
In total, it appears that there will be 30 million to 40 million people damaged in some fashion by the Affordable Care Act
Yea...those millions that were not paying for their healthcare will now have to pay
You are wrong, you will just have to pay more to make up for those who won't/can't pay. If millions can't afford care now and have chosen to do without it how will Obamacare change that, they still can't afford it especially since under Obamacare healthcare has gotten more expensive. Most have seen at least a 30% increase in cost since it was implemented. How compassionate is it to fine a family for not having healthcare insurance when they choosing to use the money to put food on the table instead? What will happen if they can't afford to pay the fine will Obama put them in jail?
Democrats resposible for the bill are pointing their fingers at the administration, saying that the chaotic implementation of the law and its ongoing unpopularity are the fault of the president and his team. And calling the implementation a "train wreck" is kind compared to what Democrats say about the law behind closed doors. .
For the overwhelming majority, the only thing they have seen is higher premiums and warnings of increased costs and potentially lost coverage to come.
No. Oliver Wyman Consultants estimates that single adults aged 21-29 who are not added to their parent's health insurance (which those age 21-26 can be under Obamacare), who do not have health insurance through an employer, who earn 400% of the FPL (about $46,000), and who choose the best plans in the exchange, may increase by as much as 42% in some states--but you guys just can't help lying, can you?
Oliver Wyman also notes that under the ACA, these 21-29 year olds can opt to purchase a catastrophic coverage plan (the plan most often chosen by young, healthy individuals)--which Wyman notes is unaffected by Obamacare, will be much cheaper than other plans on the exchange, and provides a great safety valve for those on the exchange who may experience increases in traditional plans).
That's the short criticism of Kessler, who works for the Hoover Institute. Wyman's prediciton for some 21-29 year olds is widely cited by AHIP, without referencing the caveats and alternatives cited by Wyman himself. You can read Wyman's article. Just do a Google search for "Oliver Wyman" and "Contingencies" where the article appeared in January.
So what you are saying is the WSJ article is correct. If you want a stripped down bare bones insurance policy that pays for almost nothing than perhaps you can avoid a 42% increase but you will see an increase nonetheless. These stripped down policies are probably not worth the cost since they cover almost none of the normal care you get today.
Please don't ignore the CBO findings
the Congressional Budget Office estimates that Obamacare will cause 3 million people to lose their insurance completely in 2014. And it expects that 6 million will have to pay the individual-mandate tax penalty in 2016, because they don't want or can't afford coverage.
You are right its a liberal disaster...
----You are right its a liberal disaster...----
No, its nothing like what Obama wanted..but had to compromise with Republicans....its the same program the GOP used in 1994 to counter what they called HillaryCare.
They dusted it off in 2009, to counter what Obama wanted.......and Obama pulled a fast one on them by signing it....
better to get something rather than nothing
"Catastrophic insurance doesn't cover doctor's visits, so you would limit visits and choose lower cost providers."
Great drive young families with young children who require frequent dr. visits to a catastrophic plan that pays for nothing. I hope young families remember to good old days before they were forced to Obamacare during in future elections.
"The CBO expects 3 million people will find it beneficial to move from their current insurance to the exchanges"
BS How can that be? the exchange would be insuruance coverage the CBO is saying 3 million will loose coverage under Obamacare.

UWM serves 'Lear' with a Russian twist
At the beginning of the "King Lear" now on stage at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee - a collaboration with the Massachusetts-based Shakespeare & Company - naked scaffolding is wrapped in white sheets, shaped to suggest the classical facade of an ordered world.
During the ensuing three hours, that thin disguise will be torn asunder, piece by tattered piece - much as Lear himself is stripped of his clothes and illusions. »Read Full Article

Pacquiao Doesn't Feel Extra Pressure To Win For Roach
By Jake Donovan
The insistence throughout the buildup for the fourth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez is that changes are being made in both camps in order to produce a conclusive ending.
Of course, the same sales pitch came prior to last year's encounter. The end result proved to be every bit as close and controversial as their previous two meetings.
Pacquiao escaped with an unpopular majority decision to run his record to 2-0-1 in the series, though it's no stretch to suggest that he can just as easily be 3-0 or 0-3. Each fight has been that close, hence the reason for Part IV, which takes place on December 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The irony of last year's disputed outcome was that it was the last notable win for Freddie Roach. The Hall of Fame trainer, who has guided Pacquiao's career for more than a decade, has been on the losing end of four straight major fights as of late, including a highly controversial split decision loss to Tim Bradley this past June.
Also included in that stretch are consecutive losses for former 140 lb. champ Amir Khan, who has since severed ties with the trainer. Roach's most recent letdown came in September, when Julio Cesar Chavez came within one punch of erasing an 11-round deficit against Sergio Martinez.
A conclusive win over Marquez will kill two birds with one stone for Pacquiao. As far as the series go, it will finally provide a definitive ending, at which point both fighters can move on with the rest of their careers for however long they choose to continue on.
In regards to Roach's current slide, a big win by Pacquiao immediately rights the ship.
That said, neither Pacquiao nor his coach feel any added pressure. It's already their mindset to train to win. Whatever happens beyond that, both are confident that they will have done their job to the best of their ability leading up to fight night.
"I do my job the best I can and get Manny for this fight," Roach insists. "It has nothing to do with any of the other fighters I train. I thought he won his last fight 11 rounds to one, I don't consider that a loss at all. It's just business as usual (in the gym)."
Pacquiao's response is simply an emphatic "No," when asked if there is a greater sense of urgency to win one for his trainer. Nor is there any more weight on his shoulders to win conclusively.
"My mind is focused on winning," Pacquiao states. "If I have a chance inside the ring to make the fight easy (end in knockout), then… I will grab that opportunity.
"I will try to not make this fight close like the last three fights. That is my focus now."
