Most incentives fail. Why? Too many are boring, annoying, difficult to use, or pitched to the wrong person. And the lack of good data means marketers and employers have to make guesses about how to improve.
OfferCraft is an extraordinary new incentive platform. Inspired by behavioral economics and customer psychology, our software more effectively motivates your target audience through our use of games, sensors, dynamic rewards, and powerful analytic tools.
More business and higher customer satisfaction. Within hours of deployment either online or in brick & mortar locations, OfferCraft begins delivering higher engagement and unlocking key insights about your target audiences.
Our research shows that if customers have fun getting an offer, it leads to higher participation and redemption rates. OfferCraft lets you use both subtle gamification tactics and even actual games in your offers. What's more, when customers psychologically feel like they earned their reward, they see it more like a prize rather than marketing, and are more likely to use it.
OfferCraft's cloud-based content management portal makes it easy to check in on your campaign performance. Just login from any browser to see stats or to edit the graphics, rewards, rules…pretty much anything. No technical skills needed.
Offers are the incentives you give to inspire specific customer or employee behavior. Our platform lets you create, test and optimize these incentives far more intelligently and quickly than ever before across all your channels. The result: incentives with broader appeal that persuade more of your target audience to do the things you want them to do.
We closely track and report on every offer, every interaction, every question answered and every reward to uncover purchasing trends and customer preferences. If you like, use our A/B tests and reinforcement learning algorithms to optimize your campaigns in real time. And remember that offers don't just help marketing — you can use the behavioral insights we gather to help optimize the rest of your business as well.
No need to buy new systems or hardware. Keep what you have — OfferCraft works alongside your existing POS, PMS, ecommerce and marketing software products to make them even better. The interactive offer you create can be used by customers online or in person using your computers, kiosks, iPads, Android & Windows tablets or digital signage.
Want to convince more customers to walk into your property or visit your website? Use OfferCraft at the entrance to offer people something compelling if they come inside. Or use it right at the point of sale to inspire last-minute upgrades and additional purchases. And long after the purchase is finished, OfferCraft rewards can be used to entice the customer to return.
We've transformed how offers are distributed and tracked. How?
Smarter Rewards. They can remind customers when they're about to expire. They can deactivate themselves after one use or multiple uses. They can even restrict redemption to a certain time or place.
They go viral. Rewards can be set to either single/personal use, or multiple use — allowing them to be re-gifted via email/text or posted to social media. This turns customers into evangelists for your brand.
The magic of "follow-up" rewards. After a customer uses one reward, you can set up an automatic "follow-up" reward — incentivizing another future purchase.
Choice increases revenue. You can let customers choose which rewards they want from multiple options, including both known rewards and mystery rewards that only reveal themselves during a subsequent visit. You can even allow them to swap out their reward for something they prefer. Choice creates a stronger psychological bond to the reward; it raises redemption rates while yielding insights into customer preferences.
That's just the beginning — we have over 100 different reward features that you can deploy!
Ease of use is critical to improving redemption rates. OfferCraft allows your customers to get an offer and use it in seconds, while giving you critical insights about their behavior.
Paper offers mean big design, printing and shipping costs. And once you go to print, any changes require even more expense. Our digital offers can be adjusted at any time for free, based on that day's business needs.
It's tough (and expensive) to get people to fill out feedback surveys. OfferCraft's survey functionality pairs customer questions with fun games and rewards — raising your participation rates at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. Best of all, you get feedback instantly so that you can intervene while a customer is still shopping.
Everything is built, so you can get started right away. That means you don't need to worry about expensive development work or last-minute surprises. What's more, OfferCraft's patent-pending software uses top-of-the-line encryption and physical infrastructure controls to ensure your data is safe while providing 99% uptime. Our real-time monitoring and auditing fights fraud and gives you 24/7 security.

OfferCraft is a software platform to make offers and incentives more effective. We help businesses inspire their customers and employees to behave in very specific ways.
Think of our software platform as a toolbox with several different tools. Our clients log in to our portal, then choose which tools they want to use to make their offers more compelling, memorable, easier to redeem, and far more profitable. Our tools fall into three groups:
1) Tools to better capture the attention of the target audience
2) Tools to convince the target audience to behave in a certain way
3) Analytics/Big-Data tools to continually improve the offers and rewards
More effective offers mean every dollar you spend on marketing goes further. We're happy to share our ROI calculator with you, but here are three questions to consider:
1) Imagine, say, tripling your redemption rate. How much more money would that generate for your company?
2) What would you save by replacing some of your traditional marketing approaches with OfferCraft?
3) How much business would OfferCraft let you steal from your competitors?
OfferCraft was designed to support both scenarios. The offer or reward can be presented and redeemed both online and/or in a physical location, giving you total freedom when designing your campaign.
Nope. Everything is done in HTML5, so the experience can be deployed across websites, phones, tablets, kiosks, digital signage, computers, and more. Of course, if you want the offers or rewards to show up in your app we can help make that happen.
Whatever you prefer — either way works.
See our pricing section above for more information about costs. Most of our customers start seeing results within the first month.
It works in all three scenarios. In the beginning, imagine you want to get someone to walk into your store. You could put a kiosk outside showing a very compelling offer right at the door that offers an instant reward if someone makes a purchase in the next hour. At the point of sale, imagine a customer trying to decide between buying two suits. Your salesperson can let him know that if he buys both suits he can use the OfferCraft offer to potentially win the suits for free. And long after the sale is finished, our rewards help compel your customers to return for a follow-up visit.
We provide the software tools, insights and general advice to make everything happen, but our clients usually control their rewards and their content. We're happy to help here if you like.
Sure. We'll help you set everything up the right way, like offering an alternate means of entry for customers.
Of course. We'll help you set it up.
Tell us so we can help you fix it! If that doesn't work, just cancel anytime.

- Wittmann

- Launched:

Key facts
Paolo Piva created an entire sofa range based on the Corso chair, mainly with the contract market in mind. The armchair, two and three-seat sofas, as well as a bench are all derived from the same characteristic U-shape as the Corso chair. The result is an unusually light character, especially in the case of the sofas, which recall a waiting room bench. This range is particularly suitable for public areas of buildings, but at the same time the quality of the upholstery ensures that waiting is a comfortable experience. The formal design of the armrests reflects functional considerations, while they also create a sense of comfort and relaxation. And it is precisely these feelings that use of furniture inspires.

D EAR ABBY: I work in a skilled-care facility. I am also preparing for law school. Today one of my co-workers humiliated me in the presence of others by asking if I have been gaining weight. I giggled and said, "Probably."
She proceeded to say that I have gained "a lot" of weight in my "fat face" and told me to get on the scale so she could see how much. I told her it's none of her business.
She has done this to me and other co-workers before. Our supervisor likes her and doesn't reprimand her. How should I handle this?

I'm trying to gather more information about the nursing profession. Answering any of the following question would be great! Thank you!
1. What type of nurse are you?
2. What degree/schooling do you have?
3. What do you do on a typical shift?
4. What do you like/dislike about your job?
Thank you.
Everyone always says that there are plenty of jobs outside of the hospital, but I've never been told specifically what they are. I'm planning on going to nursing school next year (ABSN) and I am not sure that I want to work in the hospital, as I want to know what all of my options are.
If anyone could list some jobs that RNs can have out of the hospital that would be great.
Thank you!
Thank you all for your help. I am now thinking I might go directly to get my Master's (if I can get in...).
Hi All,
I will be graduating from a University this spring with a B.S. in Human Development. I have a 3.7 cumulative GPA and my science GPA is a 3.4 (I am taking Micro right now and I'll be taking anatomy next quarter, so I'm hoping to get that GPA up to a 3.5-3.6 if possible). I received B-s in both quarters of chemistry, so that really screwed up my GPA.
Anyway, I have planned on going to an ABSN program since I decided to go to nursing school. However, after talking with RNs and volunteering, I realize that I don't think I would like floor nursing. My passions are in public health, women's health, neonatal and perinatal. I've heard that these areas are particularly hard to get into and that is discouraging.
Now I am considering going directly into an ELMSN program. What kind of experience will I need? I have volunteered in OB/GYN, Radiology, and the Recovery Room. I also volunteer for a clinic at a hospital that is for women with post partum depression, and I call patients each week to check on them. I have extensive leadership experience, and I also have experience with infants (age 6mos - 24 mos) and I have worked part time all through college.
Does anyone have any advice? I am afraid that my age (21) and the fact that I am not a ccareer changer may hinder my chances of getting in.
Thank you for any help.

I'll be applying to ABSN (or ELMSN) programs this upcoming year.
I have been getting increasingly frustrated over becoming a nurse which is starting to worry me. The main thing I keep hearing is that nurses are mean and not nice to each other. I've heard this from many different people and I'm getting worried. I don't want to either 1. become one of those people or 2. be treated poorly by my co-workers
My question is, would you still become an RN if you had the choice to do it again? Why or why not?
Would you recommend getting your MSN and NP license? Why or why not?
Thank you! I really hope that the people I am hearing these things from are wrong!
I will be graduating with a B.S. in Human Development in the spring. I originally planned on going into an ABSN program, but after some thought I am thinking that an ELMSN program would fit me better (particularly FNP, Women's Health, NICU, Perinatal, etc.).
I am wondering if anyone went into an ELMSN program what advice do you have? Did you have experience in a hospital? High GRE scores? Anything else?
I have volunteer experience in various areas including OB/GYN and the PACU, and I also work for a clinic that helps women with pre&post partum issues.
My overall GPA is a 3.7, while my science GPA is about a 3.4 and I still have to take Micro and Anatomy (I'm taking micro this quarter and anatomy next quarter).
Thank you!
Thank you for the response.
Yes, I am sure that I will be happy to get any job once I graduate from nursing school.
I actually went into those volunteering positions excited to see a different patient population. Unfortunately, I leave each week feeling anxious, overwhelmed and sad. I realize that obviously nurses have to be able to deal with these emotions and situations. I feel that with time and training in nursing school I will (hopefully) feel better about working in those areas. It is just hard to see myself working in those areas when I have left the OB/GYN clinic and the NICU having thoroughly enjoyed my time there, feeling positive and full of energy.
Does it usually take many years to enter the areas with younger populations? I am willing to go anywhere in the U.S. Although I would ultimately like to return to California (which I know is one of the worst areas for nursing jobs right now...)
Again, thank you for taking time to explain that further. I really appreciate it.
I am planning on applying to accelerated BSN programs sometime within the next year. I know that I want to be a nurse, and I have had great experiences volunteering/shadowing in the NICU and in OB/GYN. I also think that I will enjoy public health nursing and perinatal, or anything related to women's health and infancy.
However, I have recently had experiences volunteering in Oncology and the Recovery Unit (PACU). I have not enjoyed these experiences at all. I am getting very discouraged because a lot of people are telling me that all of the nursing jobs will be in these areas (especially geriatrics).
I am just wondering how hard it really is to get a job in the NICU or OB/GYN departments? I understand that I may have to work in another department as a new grad, but I do not want to be in one of those areas for the rest of my career.
I also realize that I may change my mind in nursing school when I am doing rotations, but as of now I really like any area that works with women or infants.
Thank you for any input.
Hi Everyone!
I am a Junior right now at UC Davis majoring in Human Development. I plan on going to nursing school after I graduate to get my BSN and become an RN. I am having some trouble right now deciding between an Accelerated or Traditional Program. The accelerated program is tempting because I could get done in about 12-16 months. However, I have heard that employers are less likely to hire you if you went through an accelerated program.
Do you think this is true?
Also, I am having trouble getting health care experience. I only have about 40 hours of health care experience, however I am involved in research, student advising, I am a club president, and I have a part time job. I plan on taking a year off after I graduate to gain health care experience. Do you think becoming a CNA or EMT will help my chances of gaining admission to a nursing school?
Thanks so much for any help.

How to Juggle the Half-Term
Am I the only parent that can't believe how quickly this half term has come along?! I'm sure you've all been settling into your routines again after the lengthy summer holiday and now it's time to have that routine dashed so we can go back to wearing the occasional hat that requires us to become an entertainer, a taxi driver or a referee depending on how many you have and what ages they are. I can snigger slightly at myself here, with two of a similar age I actually fit into all three but sadly, in reverse order!

Big city dreams of reduced congestion and efficient transportation could head up to the slightly less crowded Texas Panhandle - but only if residents say so.
They'll have the opportunity in several public hearings coming up to voice their opinions on the Trans-Texas Corridor - the Texas Department of Transportation's plan to build a network of roads, rail and a dedicated utility zone.
Randall County residents will get to hear TxDOT's presentation at 2 p.m. Feb. 24, while Potter County residents meet with TxDOT officials at 7 p.m. Feb. 26. Other meetings are scheduled for other Texas Panhandle counties.
Several meetings already have taken place, giving a glimpse of a distant future where a small town could connect with a big city in a direct route.
"We are unique, we don't have a lot of congestion in our district area," said Tonya DeHoyos Detten, TxDOT spokesman in Amarillo. "It's hard for us to imagine the scope of what this road is. It's a massive visionary project. It's huge."
Detten said there's no timeline on the project, estimated to cost $183.5 billion. It could also take decades to conceive and complete, according to some officials.
At least one area official who went to the TxDOT meeting didn't even see a relation to the Texas Panhandle.
"I don't think it's ever going to happen in our part of the world," said Dallam County Judge David Field. "It's for the major corridors like Dallas and Houston."
Sam Cartwright, Dumas/Moore County Chamber of Commerce president, had a more optimistic take on the project.
He said TxDOT officials made a good presentation of the project, asking attendees to trace three likely tracks for the route on blank maps.
"It would affect this area, if we could convince the route to follow the Ports to Plains route, which essentially would be (U.S. Highway) 287," he said.
Detten said anything's possible. All the hand-drawn maps will go to Austin as part of the planning process. She compared the project to the development of the nation's interstate highway system - just on a state scale.
"Transportation is a big deal in Texas," she said.
Hearing Schedule
Other upcoming Trans-Texas Corridor Public Hearings in the Area:
10 a.m. Tuesday, Sherman County Courthouse, Stratford
1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Hansford County Courthouse, Spearman
7 p.m. Tuesday, Borger Chamber of Commerce, Borger
10 a.m. Thursday, Hemphill County Courthouse, Canadian
1:30 p.m. Thursday, Lipscomb County Courthouse, Lipscomb
4 p.m. Thursday, Ochiltree County Courthouse, Perryton

A powerful Chinese Triad boss sends his top bodyguard to protect a young British woman in the UK, in the process creating a situation that threatens to destroy everything that he has worked for years to create. When it comes to loyalty, a crime boss simply couldn't ask for a better bodyguard than Leung. Leung's boss is notorious Hong Kong gangster Wong. The only person Wong trusts enough to travel to the UK and watch over a mysterious young British woman is Leung, and Leung is determined to make his boss proud. Not even Wong's own errant son Yuen is privy to the identity of the woman Leung has been assigned to protect. But when the secret gets out, Wong's once-powerful empire quickly begins to crumble. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The Massachusetts Port Authority said the Conley Terminal will be upgraded with an additional berth and three new cranes, while the Boston Harbor will be dredged to accommodate 12,000-TEU vessels.
The South Korean carrier said certain providers have been charging its customers more than what it would have charged to transport cargo and has tried to intervene, taking its concern up with the Federal Maritime Commission.
The Water Resources Development Act has mostly received bipartisan support, but Democrats in the House are upset that a provision that would have protected Harbor Maintenance Tax receipts from being diverted for other uses was removed from the final draft.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The now insolvent South Korean ocean carrier released a status update Monday on the 97 vessels it operates, which illustrated that 59 of these vessels are still waiting in open sea.
Judge John Sherwood of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey moved to recognize receivership proceedings in South Korea for the now insolvent ocean carrier Hanjin Shipping.
The container leasing company said as of Sept. 2, approximately 4.8 percent of its total owned and managed fleet, in terms of TEUs, was leased to the South Korean ocean carrier.

A TOUR in Afghanistan didn't kill Timothy Loper, but trying to break up a fight outside a Camden bar did.
Loper, a Marine who grew up in Gloucester Township, Camden County, had gone to a party at the 20 Horse Tavern near the Camden waterfront and tried to intervene when he observed a fight in the parking lot at 2:46 a.m. Sunday, authorities said.
Shots were fired and Loper, married with a 6-year-old daughter, was struck multiple times, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office said yesterday.
"He's just that type of person: a hero," said Loper's father, Timothy Loper Sr., of Camden. "He went there to have a good time, and now this."

What do cats, comedians, vampires and "Three Tall Women" have in common?
All recently graced – if that term can be applied to vampires – the stage at The Shadowbox Theatre, 2400 St. Claude Ave., in New Orleans' burgeoning St. Claude arts, entertainment and fringe-theater district. (Just blocks away, at 2240 St. Claude, is The AllWays Lounge and Theatre, home of Cripple Creek Players.
The weekend before Mardi Gras, the Acro-Cats, a (more or less) trained-cat troupe from Chicago, starred in two nights of sold-out shows at the Shadowbox. The theater's resident comedy troupe, the National Comedy Company (NCC), performs there at least once a month. Last October, the theater hosted the Vampire Film Festival. And this past February at the Shadowbox, Silk Dress Productions presented Edward Albee's "Three Tall Women."
Upcoming at the just-1-year-old theater are March 25 and 26 performances by Off Off Broadzway, billed as a "burlesque-parody all-female sketch comedy troupe."
This variety of acts fits right in with one of the stated goals of The Shadowbox Theatre, which had its opening gala on March 26, 2010. According to the theater's Web site, "We hope to one day host a greater variety of performance types than any other venue in the city." If it hasn't yet reached that mark, it's mighty close to doing so.
Making sure the shows go on is Richard Mayer, who admitted, "I've actually had a difficult time figuring out what my official title should be at the theater. 'Director' doesn't quite fit because it's a little vague. Most theaters have multiple directors: an artistic director, a managing director, a technical director, and so on, but I do all of that.
"I've recently started saying that I'm the 'Executive in Charge of Everything,' which fits the bill pretty well," he wrote in an e-mail interview.
Mayer is also a four-year member of the National Comedy Company, which performs audience-interactive, unscripted comedy theater. He credited the troupe with playing a major role in getting the Shadowbox up and running.
"It isn't an exaggeration to say that the Shadowbox wouldn't exist without the help of the NCC. As the resident comedy troupe they perform at least once a month at the theater; some months they've performed as many as six times and that's in addition to their weekly shows at Yo Mama's in the French Quarter," Mayer said.
"The NCC is one of the only constant elements in the Shadowbox's calendar – you never have to look too far ahead to find a date when they'll be appearing on the stage."
Mayer got his own start in improvisational comedy about eight years ago, when he was in high school in San Diego.
"I loved it and took to it immediately," he said. "I was a founding member of my high school drama club's improv team and its first captain (a role I'm sort of reprising by teaching improv at Brother Martin High School here in New Orleans). Transitioning to the New Orleans improv scene was smooth. Members of the NCC have ties to the group that trained me in San Diego, and the styles are very similar, so I didn't have to be 'retrained' to fit into the NCC's shows."
The ability to improvise is an obvious asset for a theater's Executive in Charge of Everything.
"Improv training has to do with being ready for anything and reacting appropriately to whatever comes at you, necessary skills to have when running a theater," Mayer said. "There's a lot to keep track of the night of a show and I have a lot of diverse responsibilities at the Shadowbox, but after years of improv my brain is hardwired to be ready with the next solution."
And it's a dream job for Mayer.
"At 24 I've pretty much accomplished all my goals in life: I'm surrounded by theater, the thing I enjoy most in the world, and I'm lucky enough to make my living doing it. Plus, I enable other artists to do what they love and profit from their efforts, and that's a wonderful feeling," he said.
"Getting paid to do what you love is awesome, especially the first time; no matter what you spend that money on you feel great about it. Pay your phone bill, go out for a drink, buy some broccoli. That's the best broccoli you'll ever eat. Some of the performers who have come through the theater have gotten paid for their work for the first time. I'm so proud that the Shadowbox could do that for them."
But there is a drawback, Mayer finds: "I never get to see theater anywhere else in town! I've always got shows at the same time as everyone else, so it's nearly impossible for me to get out and see what else is playing."

When we first discovered Screwpop we weren't sure whether to cover this ourselves or send it over to our compatriots over at Tool Snob. Then we realized they'd probably spend all their time gushing over the tool aspect of it - the flathead, Phillips and 1/4" hex nut driver.
Yeah, those are handy but here's the thing - you can open beers with the Screwpop too, and it all fits on your keychain. Plus, you can use the sharp(ish) end of the tool to fend off anyone who tries to get near your beers!

TravelPod Member ReviewsHampton Inn & Suites Memphis - Beale Street
We have stayed at this hotel a few times. We like it because our room has a balcony and we can here the music coming from Beale st. The staff is friendly, there is a kitchenette in the room and it is clean. A safe in the bathroom too.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
My husband and I stayed for three nights with our fifteen year old granddaughters. It was a very comfortable experience. We liked having the refrigerator and microwave and we had a great balcony facing the Pepsi Cola Bandstand where there was blues played in the afternoon and evening. It was fun to sit out there and listen.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis - Beale Street
Really good for a Hampton
I got upgraded to a suite. Had a good kitchenette, a balcony, decent size room. A great room for the price I got. The staff was very cordial as well, and it is in a good location.
It was by a lot of places with outdoor music, so if you had a door or window open you could hear it quite loudly, but I couldnt hear it with those closed.
Great location but walls a little thin
Great location in the center of it all in downtown memphis. Parking situation also a plus. Only negative is that the wall are pretty thin, each night we were woken up by babies crying or couples being a little too amourous.
Good location
Just returned from Memphis. After reading all the hotel reviews we opted for the Hampton. It certainly has location, location, location; a block off Beale and right across the street from the shopping center, Peabody Place. The rooms are adequate, nothing special.
As for the breakfasts, although there are many items to choose from, the quality and selection was uninspiring. One good thing: a small "cafe" that serves those New Orleans style "donuts" (beignet?)smoothered in powedered sugar is adjacent and you can enter it from the hotel lobby. On morning three I opted for this. I didn't think I could take another Hampton breakfast.
Excellent Accomodations & Service
We stayed at Hampton Inn Peabody Place in April 2004. We were very pleased with the hotel, its staff and their service. Our reservations were for a king executive room. We had a very large room with a balcony overlooking W. C. Handy Park. Not only did we have a door leading onto the balcony, but also 3 huge floor to ceiling windows on the balcony, providing a great view. The hotel had a delicious breakfast in the lobby each morning. We also enjoyed the indoor pool. The proximity to Beale Street, AutoZone Park and Peabody Place entertainment was so good that we never moved our vehicle out of the parking garage for our entire 3 day stay. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Will definitely stay there again.
A Great Buy for the money
I stayed at the hotel in Mar-2004. It is in excellent proximity to Beale Street and all the restaraunts/bars in the area. The hotel can be a little noisy due to the proximity of Beale Street and outdoor entertainment. Rooms are of very good size and the hotel offers free local calls and even provides high-speed internet access for free in every room. Free breakfast/coffees are provided every morning and are of very good quality. Parking is not free :-( They have a mini-gym...nothing to write home about but something. A good selection of cable stations. Shower curtain was too dark to allow light through. You'll be glad you stayed at this hotel when walking back from Beale street. There are quite a few pan-handlers and the entrance to the hotel is just around the corner. If you stay anywhere else - you'll need to walk a gauntlet to get away. The hotel was very safe though. The hotel is also around the corner from the Peabody Hotel. Definitely in another league but you have to go to the lobby to see the ducks on display.
Best Customer Service I have received outside of the Four Seasons.
Truly friendly and helpful staff, great suite overlooking Beale, at a better rate than any suite in downtown Memphis. Would stay again and again!
Much better than its famous neighbour
Great location, big, clean, well appointed rooms and the friendliest, most helpful staff in Memphis.I managed to make a mistake after booking into the Peabody, (that's a long story), and we had to move for one night. The Hampton Inn was half the price, just as well located, far cleaner and comfortable - a much better deal. Thoroughly recommended.
Location, Location, Location
My wife, daughter, and I recently spent a Saturday night at this hotel.
The location and staff were superb. We loved it.
This hotel is just one block off Beale St. So, you are always just a minute away from great food and music, and the heart of Memphis on a Saturday night.
I would encourage everyone to ask for the Executive King suite. From the long, curving balcony, we could overlook a pavillion area below.
On the street directly below us, we watched at people piled into the horse pulled carriages. Of course, you could hear all the night life from the balcony.
The room we had had a King size bed, and a sofa pull out.
We liked this so much, that we have already made reservations for next year.
Excellent Location
This is an outstanding hotel. It is located just off Beale Street.
Walking distance to all downtown. Peabody Mall is right across the street. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.
Most Accommodating Staff in Memphis
Frequent visitor to downtown Memphis and have stayed at many of the downtown hotels. This hotel is the choice for my family primarily because this hotel's staff is the most professional, courteous, and accommodating of all the hotels we've experienced in Memphis. Their suites are more spacious than most in the area. Beyond that, the hotel's common areas and our suite are always fresh, clean, well maintained, the property is situated in a great convenient downtown location, and a better value than most of the other hotels.

Dinner on Beale Street at the Rum Boogie Caf� – you could see it had potential to be fun, but it was practically empty so there wasn't much atmosphere. Band was pretty good though.

CBS (Tues., Dec. 3, 9 p.m. ET)
What a set of prejudices I brought to this week's schedule: on flag-waving, PBS and Yoko Ono. Now Barry Manilow. I was prepared to gag on his TV acting debut in a movie that features his music, his voice, his face. But, surprise: I liked it. Copa is a sweet but not too sappy old-fashioned movie based on the story told in the song of the same name: "Her name was Lola. She was a showgirl...." That's Annette (48 HRS.) O'Toole. "While she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar." That's Barry, as the barkeep turned lounge singer who falls for Lola and rescues her from a louse named Rico. Copa is a throwback, of course. But it also represents a daring step forward—an effort to create an original musical for TV. The effort pays off, thanks to Manilow's original songs and his engaging ways. Yes, Barry charmed me. Even me.

Behavioral Clustering of HTTP-Based Malware and Signature Generation Using Malicious Network Traces
This paper presents a novel network-level behavioral malware clustering system. The paper focuses on the analysis of structural similarities among malicious HTTP traffic traces generated by executing HTTP-based malware. The work is motivated by the need to provide quality input to algorithms that automatically generate network signatures. Accordingly, the paper defines similarity metrics among HTTP traces and develops the system so that the resulting clusters can yield high quality malware signatures. The paper implemented a proof-of-concept version of the network-level malware clustering system and performed experiments with more than 25,000 distinct malware samples.

Its a nice place for HDR though Kenny.
Are you making these from three shots or the RAW file?
Cheers from NC - Jethro
Hi Jethro, from 3 exposures, currently 1 below 1 above and one correct then just mess about with the sliders. I have kept away from RAW at the moment. I am currently Googling up some tutorials for CS5 and HDR for a few tips!
All the best from a drab, wet England.
Now thats a waste of two good greenhouses Kenny, there again, its given you something to play about with!! ;-)...Neil.
Hi Neil Thanks for dropping by again.
Many moons ago we carried out substantial repairs to this greenhouse (this is just a small portion) and planted it up with hundreds of tommos and peppers. Ironically it was cheaper to buy them from the market than it was to pay me to look after them then harvest them. In the day when these greenhouses were the trend the staff were paid buttons, this estate had 14 gardeners and now has only one.
A sign of the times Kenny, times past and today i'm afraid. Even so, its nice to grow your own stuff,i had a big allotment years ago,all the Toms i sold used to pay for all my next years seed and a load of horsemuck, lovely stuff!! I wouldn't have one now though,too much vandalism.
Hi KennyW
Very nice venue. Wonderful shot. Beautiful sharing.
Best wishes, İsmail
Hi © yemtaş Many thanks for your comments. I am glad you liked my gallery.

ROME (AP) -As far as tiny San Marino is concerned, Friday's match at England has already been won.
That's because all 90,000 tickets to Wembley Stadium have been sold out for the World Cup qualifier.
"That's already a small victory for us," San Marino coach Giampaolo Mazza said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. "We're a nation of just 32,000, so we would only fill a third of the stadium. And we have 100 fans going to the game, which represents a record for an away match. We know exactly who's coming, because in a nation this small everybody knows everybody."
For a team without any competitive victories in its 22-year history, it's the small things that count.
And while Mazza conceded winning the match is "impossible," it's worth remembering that in a 1993 loss to England, Davide Gualtieri scored for San Marino after eight seconds for what still remains the quickest goal ever scored in a World Cup qualifier or finals. England went on to win 7-1 but needed eight goals and therefore didn't qualify for the 1994 World Cup. England manager Graham Taylor resigned shortly after that game.
"We're not talking about 1993. But easy matches don't exist in football. You never know," said San Marino's 36-year-old captain Andy Selva, who holds the San Marino record with eight goals.
There have been other small successes for San Marino. Like in 2007, when Ireland coach Steve Staunton was mercilessly pilloried in the media after his squad needed an injury-time goal for a 2-1 win in Euro 2008 qualifying.
"Obviously England is a huge squad but we're going to give our all. This is a huge test for us," Selva said. "Wembley is the temple of football and it will be an honor to play there."
Known as the oldest republic in the world, San Marino is nestled atop a hill in central Italy near Rimini and the Adriatic coast.
Since making its competitive debut in 1990, San Marino has competed in qualifying for every European Championship and World Cup, but has never won a match in either competition. Its only win came over Liechtenstein in a friendly in 2004 - 1-0.
San Marino opened qualifying for the 2014 World Cup with a 6-0 home loss to Montenegro and is joint last in Group H with Moldova, which it hosts four days after the England match.
With Selva nursing a calf injury, Mazza said he will start with his captain on the bench at Wembley to keep him fresh for the Moldova game.
While he previously played for bigger clubs like Padova, Sassuolo and Verona, Selva is now with semi-pro Serie D side Sidene. The only full professional on the squad is defender Mirko Palazzi, who plays for Rimini in Italy's third division.
"Obviously it's an impossible match for us, considering the difference in skill level," Mazza said. "But we're used to these types of games."
After joking that he plans to employ a 9-1 formation, Mazza said he will use a 5-4-1 to contain England's star forward Wayne Rooney. And he's not relying on England being distracted due to the fallout of John Terry's racism case, with the center back having retired from national team duty and Chelsea teammate Ashley Cole jeopardizing his England future by posting an unwise Twitter message criticizing the Football Association.
"England is used to these things," Mazza said. "We have a hard time believing that there's racism in a country as multi-ethnic as England."
The one positive note for San Marino is that England captain Steven Gerrard is suspended.
Considering the records of nations like San Marino, Liechtenstein, Andorra and the Faeroe Islands, there has been discussion of creating a preliminary qualifying group for smaller European nations.
For the 2014 World Cup, Africa, Asia, CONCACAF (North and Central America) and Oceania each have preliminary rounds for the weakest teams. Only UEFA and CONMEBOL (South America) have everyone in the same qualifying program - and in CONMEBOL that's just nine teams playing in one group.
Europe is the exception in having one, big set of qualifying groups.
"(UEFA president Michel) Platini has always said that UEFA is a big family and we hope he keeps it that way," Mazza said. "That would be like saying (Usain) Bolt doesn't have to run qualifying against athletes who finish two seconds behind him in heats at the Olympics. ... Everybody deserves a chance.
"Wembley is sold out, so it's not having any influence economically," Mazza added. "Our vote in UEFA is worth just as much as England's."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The bones of a group of American Indians were returned to their resting place outside the Spanish Colonial mission their people helped build some 300 years ago.
The reburial at Mission San Juan, at sunset Thanksgiving Day, came after a federal court rejected efforts to stop the ceremony.
"We believe our families have been desecrated, and they'll be given dignity and respect as they're being reinterred," said Ramon Vasquez, of the American Indians in Texas-At the Spanish Colonial Missions, a nonprofit group that has been fighting for the reburial.
"It's long overdue," Vasquez told the Express-News of San Antonio.
Thursday's ceremony included the remains of more than 90 people excavated from the site in the late 1960s by archaeologists from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Experts said they believe most of the bones belong Coahuiltecans, who were members of South Texas tribes who helped build the 18th century mission founded by Spanish priests, according to the newspaper.
A public Mass in honor of the reburial will be held today at the mission.
