Tavon Wilson Scouting Report
|Illinois Fighting Illini
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6' - 205 lbs.
|Draft Prediction:
2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Tavon Wilson, FS, Illinois
Wilson primarily played free safety, but on occasion could line up man-to-man with wide receivers. He has enough speed to play either hip, inside or outside. He likes to get after the ball when it's in the air and will typically look to knock it loose rather than go for the interception. Wilson doesn't shy away from contact and does look to lay down big hits at times. He does well to maintain gap leverage and take good angles. He wraps up well on contact.
Wilson's positional versatility will be helpful to him if drafted. The larger issues is that he doesn't particularly do anything especially well. He's a solid football player with very limited upside or athleticism. He wasn't invited to the combine but did run a solid 4.5 40 yard dash at his pro day.
In all likelihood, Wilson will not be drafted and should receive a shot as an undrafted free agent. With the high priority teams place on pass defense, he could earn his shot somewhere.

Install water mister by outdoor unit?
Our outdoor unit is on the east side of the house and is shaded in the afternoon, but the whole area is concrete, not lawn, and stays pretty warm even at night. More-so with the latest heatwave crap...
Enter hair-brained scheme...
I have seen water misters used to cool outdoor areas and was wondering if installing one on either side of the unit would lower the condenser air temperature enough to be worth the trouble? A couple of mister heads would use very little water and I would think (there I go again...) that dropping the temperature of the air flowing across the condenser might help.
Help some? No difference? Not worth the trouble?
I'd appreciate your thoughts...
PS: Oh, there's no problem with the unit - it's working fine. Just looking to optimize its operation...
try to keep the water off the unit just bearly hitting it just need to pre-cool the air the condensers is pulling in...couple of private hedges or pines will give the same result dripping water down them in the extreme hot days..and it's no hair brained :thumbsup: commercially with 105 read here with a heat index of 115 techs soak condensers down to keep them on line....
I would just go and paint the concrete something to cut down on the radiant heat. If it is shaded in the afternoon, I would not worry about it. Running water misters is a waste of money.
Cement and brick will hold the heat for a long time. I need to look it up, but if my memory is any good, I believe it is up to 2-3hrs, maybe even longer after the sun stops beating on it.
Misters will be cheaper than running the ac 24/7...
I have a chart that I will post when I can.
Thanks, all. I might give it a try with a temp install and see what happens.
I can go out at 10:00PM and the concrete is still toasty-warm, as are the bricks and everything else in the area. Back and front yards are all nice lawn and are noticeably cooler -- that's what got me thinking I might want to cool things off by the unit.
I figured about 4-5' away from the unit -- if it's getting wet, they're too close. With a temp install I can play a bit with the positioning. If it makes a big enough difference I'll perm it in.
Again, thanks...
PS: The whole side of the house is concreted. Next house over is up a 6' retaining wall. We used to have a major swamp over there every time it rained - Oklahoma clay soil doesn't drain well. Figured what the heck, just put concrete all the way from the front around the side to the back patio. Would be a -lot- of concrete to paint -- not just a slab around the AC...

In theory this does work. People warn about minerals in the water eating away at the coils. Some AC units actually pump the water from the indoor coil to a pool of water under the outdoor coil do do this very thing and benefit from the evap cooling. Every window based unit does this, so why not do it on your central AC unit?.. It does help some, if it's worth it or not is a judgment call. Here is a company that sells kits for this:
I tried this for a while....
....hooked up some misters a few feet from the unit outside (I'm in Michigan).
Monitored the air temperature readings inside from a vent close to the furnace. Temperature from the vent dropped 5 degrees with the misters running. Definitely made a difference inside. But I don't know the long term effect on the coil. Maybe if the water was filtered; or using the condensate water would be better; but my vent temperature dropped noticeably.
I agree with the science of a mister helping heat transfer - it's genuine. If you have hard water you might get build up - if it's softenened water then it has a touch of salt which might corrode(?). I'm keeping the mister concept in mind for after my condenser hits the 10 yr mark.
While the condensate from an evap coil is dirty. It does not contain the minerals that water does from your faucet/house piping. So comparing the 2 is not an apples to apples comparison.
The coolnsave is not as great of a thing as many think. And quite a few people have paid for the damage their water has done to the condenser coil. In the way of either higher cost to clean the coil, higher electric bills as the extra minerals coat/closed off the air flow, or caused leaks.
They work ok in some areas, not in others, so people should be aware that they should regularly(weekly) inspect their condenser if they decide to use one of those misters.
For condensers set on large concrete areas. Simply keeping the concrete wet/damp will lower the air temp draw into the condenser, and leave n o deposits on the condenser.
Any idea if well water is better or worse than city water if used to cool the condenser? I was thinking of submerging a condenser in ground water supplied by my well in an attempt at a DIY experiment. I am replacing my unit in the next few weeks and planning to "play" with my old heat pump. Any suggestions?
If the system is sized correct for the loadand ambien for the location and the condensers are kept clean there should be no reason to spray water on the coil.
In all the years I have been in this trade the only time I ever saw water being sprayed was in an emergency situation (weekend not able to get parts) like a bad condenser fan or coils that were dirty and the owner was too cheap to maintain the equipment like they should.
Well water can be worse then city water in some areas. Don't know the conditions of your water.

I see they've added a water filter to their setups. Seems to me that if you have water soluble minerals, throwing a carbon filter at it isn't going to un-calcify and un-PH-ify your water. You can't all the sudden drink salt water because you run it through a carbon filter. Same thing here. You'd need a reverse osmosis or equiv..
Do you have any reason to believe their filter is actually going to condition water to remove minerals, or is it a marketing false advertising gimmick?
How do geothermal units use open loop systems without calcifing the coil? Is it protected by something? What about cooling towers. Do they have calcification problems? I know if your system is sized properly, you shoulder need to do this but its interesting if it drops your register temp.
Water towers are constantly treated with chemicals and there is a required bleed off to drain to help prevent scaling.
The tower requires a fan to cool the retun water for re-use.
Cooling towers have to be cleaned annually sometimes semi annually because of mineral build up.
In some cities the use of water unless aproved by the building department can be illegal for hvac use they consider it a waste of water.
I know of a large company that was using over 10,000 gallons of water a week and they were paying the water company for it. The State found out and fined them. They had to install a cooling tower system with the sump that was so large you could stack 4 box trailer side by side in it.
Why would anyone want to add a mister if their system was maintained and designed correct!!!

Will Smith Speaks About Arrest
Smith was arrested in downtown Lafayette early Saturday morning on a domestic abuse charge.
Cpl. Paul Mouton of the Lafayette police department said in a news release that officers on patrol saw Smith and his wife Racquel arguing while leaving a nightclub. Mouton says the LPD saw the argument escalate and then saw Smith grab the woman's hair. Mouton says the woman's injuries were minor.
Smith released a statement tonight through the Saints regarding his arrest over the weekend.
Here is the complete statement:
"During the past weekend, my wife Racquel and I were visiting her family in Lafayette, Louisiana for the holiday weekend. Early Saturday morning, an unfortunate misunderstanding led to my arrest.
"My wife was not injured as reported and this was not a domestic issue. I am confident that the legal process will bear this out. Both Racquel and I look forward to having the legal process play out and will cooperate fully. Until then, and based upon legal counsel, I will not be able to make any further comment on this matter.
"Racquel and I are both extremely thankful to everyone that has offered support through this trying time."

About '09 Kansas Mopar Cruise
http://ksmoparcruise.org <---- go to the site to register
Any and all Mopars (any years) are invited to show up and cruise!!!
This event is a Mopar (AMC included!) cruise that will encompass roughly 300 miles across scenic Kansas by starting in Lindsborg, Kansas and ending up at the Flatland Cruisers car show in Emporia, Kansas.
In between cruising along scenic Kansas at a leisurely rate and flogging your Mopar, the cruise will consist of stopping off at two Dodge Dealership sponsored car shows at Marshall Motors in Salina, Kansas and South Star Chrysler in Ottawa, Kansas. There will be a special photo gathering at South Star Chrysler with all the members, their families, and the Mopars that will be made available to purchase directly from the photographer (customized individual photos will be available if desired; details provided at later date).
When was the last time you hit three car shows in three days, and 2 out of 3 of them being Mopar specific? The dealerships have promised to round up as many local Mopars as they see fit to share in the festivities and to provide certain refreshments and beverages. Marshall Motors and South Star Chrysler have signed on to provide door prizes. Refreshments/ Food will be provided, but will be finalized closer to actual dates.
Because this event is family oriented, we have a special event scheduled to take place at Historic Council Grove, Kansas. The historic downtown district has much to offer, as well as viewing the historical sites from the mid-1800's. The local Dodge Dealership will provide us with parking just one block from downtown and within direct walking distance of some historic sites.
If you know of people who own Mopars that are on the route, tell em to register to join or just show up to the car shows!
The Emporia car show's website is here:
Please view their website for all the activities that they are planning. I am in no way affiliated with the setup or planning of their event.
Register by clicking on the register button at the top left of this page, and yes, this does not cost you anything to go on the cruise (other than gas!).
Please email me at email@example.com
by calling me at 620-757-1284 if you have any questions.
Thank you, and I hope we get to see you in May!!!

An interesting theory about Android 2.4 has been put forth by IntoMobile. The idea here is that Ice Cream Sandwich will be a version of Honeycomb for phones. Andy Rubin has stated that Honeycomb would be meant for tablets but be compatible for both tablets and smartphones. With the smaller sized screens on a phone, the Honeycomb OS might not produce images that would work on say, a 4.3 inch screen as opposed to a tablet sized display. So the thinking goes that Android 2.4 takes a little Honeycomb, mixes in some of its own features and adds up to Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course, all of these theories just might be getting way ahead of things. After all, Android 2.3 has yet to be downloaded to all appropriate Android handsets that meet the system requirements which means no Ice Cream Sandwich until you finish your Gingerbread.

Carbone Cancer Center Team Awarded Grant to Study Brain Tumor Treatment
A team of University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center scientists have received a grant to test how new medicines can treat brain cancer.
Dr. John Kuo and Dr. Eric Shusta, both members of the Experimental Therapeutics research group at the Cancer Center, model the blood brain barrier in the lab. The blood brain barrier (BBB) is the tight blood vessel network that helps keep unwanted chemicals and pathogens from affecting the brain. This same defense mechanism also keeps drugs that treat brain tumors from being effective.
The new grant was awarded by the National Institutes of Health to Dr. Kuo, Dr. Shusta and their partner Dr. Sean Palecek, a member of the Tumor Microenvironment research group at the Cancer Center. It will give the team an opportunity to develop an effective BBB model to speed up the testing process of new brain drugs.
Over the last 20 years, many promising drugs have failed in clinical trials because they do not pass through the blood brain barrier into the brain. Currently, there is no BBB model that mimics its function in humans properly, which means that clinical trials are done on a case-by-case basis in cancer patients and others with neurological disorders.
The new project came together when Dr. Shusta, himself an expert on the blood brain barrier, began working with Professor Palecek on finding a way to use induced pluripotent stem cells to build a better BBB model. After some work together they brought in Dr. Kuo, a brain tumor surgeon and researcher in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, to find real-world applications of the research.
The new model designed by Drs. Kuo, Shusta, Palecek will test brain tumor drugs in a petri dish instead of in the human body. By simulating the blood brain barrier outside of the body, the Cancer Center team can measure the activity of 100s - 1000s of drugs simultaneously.
"The goal is to screen many brain tumor therapies using our model to help predict those that may be most well suited to move forward into clinical trials from a delivery and efficacy perspective", says Dr. Shusta. "I think it is safe to say that none of us could do this on our own."

I had the same thing with a WDT- it was there right when I got it from CurlMart. Email Jessicurl- I'll bet they'll replace it for you. On the site, she says they'll stay good 2 years unopened & 1 year opened as long as you keep water out of it. Now, with the tubs TS & WDT come in, it's impossible to keep water out of them so I don't know what they'll say about it. It's worth a shot though. Let us know how it works out.
Personally I think tubs are a ridiculous packaging choice for hair products that are meant to be used in the shower, so I've been pumping my TS gallon into a squeeze bottle. Keeps the water out & the tub from slipping & breaking my toes.

Photo exhibition 'Moscow through the eyes of children' international conference 'Cities for Children', Moscow City Hall
MOSCOW, Russian Federation, 3 September 2007 - A photography exhibition Moscow through the eyes of children opened today at the International 'Cities for children' Conference at Moscow City Hall. The exhibition presents photos done by disabled and non-disabled children at the photo workshop in Moscow. The project was organized by UNICEF and its Russian partner Perspectiva with support from IKEA.
UNICEF and its Russian partner, Disability Rights NGO Perspektiva, are working to bring inclusive education for children with disabilities to the top of the social agenda in Russia today.
Inclusive education means that all children and young people – with or without disabilities – have the chance to learn together in their neighbourhood school with appropriate support for those students who may need it.
UNICEF and Perspektiva organised a photography workshop in Moscow for 20 disabled and non-disabled children from 4 inclusive Moscow schools. The disabled children worked in teams with their non-disabled peers and classmates. They spent two days studying the basics of photography with Giacomo Pirozzi, a photographer famous for his work with children, and then set off around Moscow to a school, an orphanage, and the regular tourist sites.
The photos in this exhibition are the result. They offer an entree into the experiences of disabled and non-disabled children working together to create a vision of the world around them. The images are richly textured and thought provoking and leave an impression of what is possible when bridges are built between children who are far too often separated.

Global stocks sag on fiscal angst after U.S. vote
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters) - World shares and the euro fell on Wednesday as investors worried that the deep fiscal challenge facing President Barack Obama after his re-election could lead to a new recession.
Fresh concerns about Europe's debt crisis added to the jitters among investors, who scrambled for safer assets. U.S. Treasury yields were set for their biggest one-day fall since May.
Worry persisted whether Obama could reach a timely deal with Republican lawmakers in the lame-duck session of a divided Congress to avert the "fiscal cliff" -- the $600 billion in automatic tax hikes and spending cuts set to start kicking in on January 1.
"The minute such a deal is cut, we'll boom. If one is not cut - and soon - we may well double-dip into recession," said Robert L. Reynolds, president and chief executive of Putnam Investments in Boston.
"This upcoming lame-duck session may just be the most consequential in our lifetimes. The stakes are high and the time is short," he said in a statement.
Traders were also worried about a vote in Greece's parliament later on Wednesday on an austerity package needed to secure a fresh injection of international aid and avert bankruptcy, which would rock the euro zone and world markets.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the ECB expects the euro zone economy to remain weak "in the near term" and that the problems were spreading to Germany.
"A lot depends on this vote today in Greece," said Mark Priest, head of Index & Equity Market Making at ETX Capital in London. Continued...

The forum, which will be held at 2 p.m. at the Eyster Auditorium of the Connor Building, 3125 Connor Blvd., will feature discussion on House Bill 1427, which, in part, gives oversight on horse sales to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed the bill into law after it was passed unanimously in both the Florida House and Senate.
The department has been given charge to develop rules aimed at protecting horse buyers and sellers. The rules are intended to promote sales transparency, full disclosure, and integrity in the sales process, as well as prevent fraud and unscrupulous trade practices in the horse industry.
At the forum, the department will summarize the bill and allow the public to address the proposed rules and the need for state law to protect buyers and sellers of horses.

There has to be more to this. So far as I know, it's not illegal to purchase, own, or wear body armor, right? And he was 18, so he was legal to purchase whatever long-guns he wants. So, what did they arrest him for and get the search warrant for?Quote:
Student Arrested After Showing Up to School in Body Armor, Cops Later Find Weapons Cache
An 18-year-old Florida student was arrested Monday after officials informed police he was wearing a bullet-proof vest on school property.
Shawn Keiffer Newberry, 18, of Lakeland, Fla., is facing charges of armed trespassing, grand theft and criminal mischief after police found the student had purchased body armor, a Taser, AK-47s, a shotgun, gas mask and ammunition among other items, officials said.
A search warrant executed on the student's home found a video showing Newberry and four others using the AK-47s for target practice.
Officials notified police Monday that Newberry was wearing a bullet-proof vest at the Life Skills Center in Lakeland. Newberry, officials said, was evasive when asked about the vest and a search of his vehicle turned up "Clear Out," a chemical agent used to temporarily incapacitate a person.
I'm curious about the charges too. He wasn't armed, and he was a student who presumably had permission to be on school property; how does that add up to armed trespassing? Grand theft of what?
Granted, walking around in body armor is kind of unusual, and it seems reasonable to question him about it. But if he's not doing anything illegal... :scruntiny:

To be fair this may be a volume issue as the front desk is very busy and the staff have to manage languages from all over the world, which I will admit is no easy job. This creates delays in the check in process creating impatient (and rude customers). I will say they did handle the whining of people checking in with professionalism. Suggested solution - investigate peak period scheduling for front desk, specifically selecting staff with multiple languages
The atmosphere is create and good vibes all around. I love the style of Decor
The room was way to small. I never been in a place like this. I call the front desk to see if they change the room and they do nothing
Friendly staff at check-in. Door man helpful and fast getting car checked and checked out for trip home. Clean room but a small. Ok for an overnight stay. Close to Times Square, theatres, and midtown sights. Music in elevators very loud.
The elevators speed very fast. Very comfortable beds. Very quite for most part except for outdoor noise which is unavoidable but not bad at all. Clean rooms. Great staff. The security is well above the norm, made us feel very safe. Locating is very convenient to all parts of the city. Loved the location. Rooms are small but we didn't come to sit in the room. There were two of us and we were comfortable wouldn't have wanted anymore than two in the room that we stayed in. For our first visit to NYC we had a fabulous time and enjoyed the hotel very much.. Lobby gets very crowded at times. Travelers using elevators for first time doesn't even consider that someone might be getting off the elevator and they crowd the door to the point you can't get off. No reflection on the Row but just be warned you can get run over before you get off the elevator.
I don't like it Cause the room was dirty
The Location thats about it For Manhattan the price was not bad Room is small Walls are thin - loud hallways No movies on demand NO MINIBAR No full length mirror No Room Service
Location of hotel. The hotel's food court Resort fee (whatever that was) was too high. Room tv with HBO did not work
city kitchen tiny room. provide nothing that is needed including gowns, slippers, water.. not like a 4 star hotel.
Great hotel in the middle of everything, next to subway line. Inside hotel is the City Kitchen where you have a "food court" with many renamed local restaurants. Included breakfast was so so, not the best but good. Very clean room, they cleaned our room every day. Eight elevators, but always very busy. Extremely small room, very noisy on 7th floor (at night all trucks and constructions work and you hear everything in the room). Thanks God we got the "Deluxe City view" because it was supposed to be a bit bigger. The view is not as good as other in the area but its ok for the price. One night we found a small worm in the ice from the ice machine. They should have better beds. But over all its the best option for the $$.
Location and the food and bar area
We loved our view of the city, the lady at front desk upgraded our room at no charge, clean rooms, friendly staff, within walking distance of everything, will definitely stay here again Breakfast buffet way overpriced for the quality
Location was perfect . Check in and check out is very easy and staff was very friendly . We request for double bed and sofa we paid more to get room like that but sofa was too old to sleep on and they bring us roller bed but matteres was very uncomfortable that u can feel all the metal under the sheet.
View Restaurant staff was great! Nice suite with view of Broadway. Construction noise in the morning.
People at front desk were nice The customer service at the view lounge was terrible. The lady that served us did not believe that we enter staying at the hotel and Saud very loud that the room number that we gave her did not exist and I showed her my key. She was very rude we felt embarrased.
Location Response time of the staff and high cost to eat hotel restaurant...
The is the one of the best locations in the theater district. Most of the major theaters are located within three blocks of the hotel. The same day ticket office is located yards away from the hotel so you can get up early to get your ticket and then return to your room. The hotel entrance is right off times square. The hotel is clean large and and the staff is very friendly and efficient. Many family oriented dining establishments are nearby as well as easy access to the subway and various tour operators. The hotel is large and is used as a convention facility. So if you do not like large crowds and being in the location that is busy and very active during the evening hours, this is not the place for you.
Location No elite services on weekends - $ charge to print out boarding pass - failed to clean room - front desk staff was not guest oriented - platinum member - will look for other hotels.
Our stay was fine. The staff was friendly, the room was clean. As one would expect for $400/night. The ticket counter for local shows was very helpful/convenient. automated elevator system crammed too many people into each trip testing the fire alarm system each day that we stayed very uncomfortable sofa bed mattress (felt every spring)
Great location and some great views. They apperently give every person in the hotel access to the executive lounge. I'm used to a crowd at times but this was crazy. They need to either expand the lounge or enforce the entry policy.
The did not clean the room very well
Very Nice Hotel with a lot of action Expensive
The View Restaurant was absolutely amazing. Room was lovely. Staff was knowledgable, friendly and helpful. Leaving!
Great place to stay. Very sheik and hip. Roof Top Bar is out of this world!!!
We came for the birth of my first grandchild.the hotel is very modern and sleek. Our room was large and well appointed with all of the modern technological conveniences. The mattress was very comfortable with high thread count linens. The bathroom was large and had more bath accessories than I have ever seen. I.e. Cuff links, tooth brush, paste, etc. I loved the large soaking tub. We never heard any outside noise even though this hotel is located in Times Square From the front desk to the doorman, the service was incredible. Leilani, one of the managers even gave us a gift for the new baby. I would highly recommend this hotel!
The renovation last year really upgraded this NYC classic. Now the interiors are just as lux as the classic facade. Great location in Times Square but quiet and tranquil retreat inside. Great service and really friendly staff. We enjoyed our girls weekend immensely. Avoid if you don't like fighting through crowds at Times Square.
Impeccable service Immaculate rooms Excellent location between Times Square and Bryant Park Can't complain about anything.
Clean spacious rooms, good service, not great wi-fi
2 queen beds made this hotel perfect for our family of four. Located right on Times Square, the hotel held our bags after checkout while we went across the street to see a Broadway show.
Once you get past the unprepossessing lobby, the hotel is really excellent. We were upgraded to a junior suite, which was large, comfortable and well-appointed. It was bitterly cold so we ate in the hotel, choosing the bar's little plate menu over the Vlentine's Day special menu; each choice was delicious. Large, contemporary bar and restaurant (maybe showing a little wear on the cushions) and excellent service. Location, right on the corner of Times Square, can't be beat if you want to be in the middle of it all. Not cheap, but we weren't on a penny pinching trip. Worth every penny. Special mention to the concierge for fulfilling a couple special requests. As noted, the lobby is decidedly underwhelming although the staff was friendly and helpful. Otherwise, no complaints!
The Knockerbocker was a very nice hotel with a great location. My only complaint was the day that we left, we stored our bags for a few hours. When we came back to pick them up, it took 20 minutes or so to get them. I had to catch a flight. The front desk was unapologetic about it. They just stood at the desk, while customers waited and were dissatisfied. They need to make sure they are staffed properly at a busy time, and if not, other staff should pitch in. It should be a group effort, because it makes the hotel better as a whole.
The decor and availability of room service as well as the location The hotel is very small and cramped. The floor we stayed on had a horrible fried food odor that was overwhelming every day of our stay. I did not feel that the overall quality was representative of a 5-star hotel.
Wonderful staff!!
The Chatwal fires on all cylinders. Every need is attended to. Expensive, but worthwhile. The bathroom was amazing, but using the shower at full pressure actually caused a bit of a flood. The climate and lighting control is handled by a single touch-screen unit, but its operation is a little complicated. Light-switches shouldn't be confusing.
Location Radiator pipes baning all night no sleep at all
Room was clean. The ugly bath tub. Noisy heating system and bad pluming pipes made a awful noise all night . Didn't sleep well and was up early and checked out. This hotel was recommended to my spouse and I.
Love the location. Youssef at the front desk was wonderful and helpful. Always a smile on his face.
Hotel location is wonderful. Walking distance from so many NYC landmarks.
Awesome location Beautiful lobby and bar Small bathroom Bath tub had peeling paint Room was directly across from the elevators (which were loud)
With its location just hard to compete but, anything beyond that is not remarkable. The hotel old fashioned, we change three rooms and still have not found a room that has hot water which meets our demands. Only after a number of requests thay sent a plumber who fixed the problem. Very suitable for those who want mainly to visit the city and get a good-value because of the location. This huge hotel stay can not offer much more.
The hotel was clean and had a great location! Staff was polite and helpful. Liked it all!
Perfect place to stay- within walking distance to so many things! Transportation desk clerk was very rude and the transportation requested didn't happen.
The hotel and staff were pleasant. Our room was nice and clean. Rooms are small but we expected that. The hotel is very busy. We were there for fun and enjoyed the craziness. New York never sleeps, but I like to. Bring ear plugs if you stay in Time Square. New Yorkers like their car horns.
The staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient, especially Justyna from Reception/Reservation. Location is awesome. The hotel has a great security policy. We felt secured. The hotel physical looks need to be updated and maintained. This may upgrade the hotel in general and compete with other hotels in the area.
Location wasn't too bad. Very close to Times square. Walking distance to Broadway shows and shops. Extremely small bathroom with no ventilation. Walls are thin. Could here everything going on outside like the windows we open even though they weren't. No dresser to put clothes in. Very basic. Loud air conditioner. Laundry facilities would help a lot! Took forever to get an elevator bc they were always full. St Front desk staff not so friendly. Conceirse service not useful at all. Didn't even try to help us figure out things to do. Very disappointed.
Only location is good Hotel looks like a stale, old bathroom equipment, there is no bar and restaurant in the hotel; standard rooms windows overlook the courtyard, or rather, the windows of another wing of the hotel, the constant noise of ventilation and construction equipment is under the windows. Of the six elevators only two operate in this multistory building. On the day of departure, I was late for the shuttle, since at least 15 minutes wait for the elevator to come down with luggage - only one elevator was operating! Reception explained that the hotel is in the process of reconstruction. But there was not warning about this on the site! Very disappointed!
The bathroom was very undesirable!! From the door not shutting all the way (sitting at the desk you could see the person sitting on the toilet because there was that much of a gap) to the shower that everyone can see your shadow in - so uncomfortable with others in the room
Near Times Square, cleanliness and open room with large window...
Easy walk over to Times Square. The room was beautiful and I really felt like I got a great deal staying here! It's New York so of course it was a tight fit, but our family of four in the double deluxe room never felt too crowded. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the neighborhood was close enough to Subways and other destinations, but far enough from all the action and noise. Will definitely remember this place the next time I visit New York! The only issue that ever came up was the shower would leak a bit into the hallway floor.
Clean, friendly staff, safe location, near Penn Station and Bus/Subway station. High speed elevators were quick and fully functional yet compact room, quality continental breakfast included. All rooms sleep 2 persons. Booked through booking.com and charge for room was not to occur until stay, instead the room was charged immediately, one month before stay. While Elements is a non-smoking hotel, you may encounter some large dogs. Rooms suitable for 2 persons only, would be crowded with a large dog as well.
Fabulous shower!
This is a great little find from my perspective. The staff were all smiley and helpful, the bedroom was modern and clean; everything was thought of, from tea to ironing boards to self catering facilities. The bed was extremely comfortable and the condiments refreshing. Breakfast/coffee was free and delicious - so it was a great place for me on business, but would be ideal for tourists as it's just down the road from Times Sq. Feels boutique because it's small, but extends upwards to around 40 floors! Easy, no nonsense, practical hospitality.
Loved - the location although a bit shady at night due to the gay strip club two doors down, all the free food and drinks although it wasn't the best tasting at least they offered and thats more than you can say for any other hotel in the surrounding areas, the kitchenette came in handy Hated - the elevator situation too many people not enough elevators, the fact that they used a pasenger elevator as a service elevator to hual trash from the guests room...it was filled completely to the top with trash bags and we had to stand there and watch and wait as they got it all out and sprayed and wiped down the elevator so we could finally get back to our room, I did not like seeing so much of the inner workings of the hotel in plain view
for the buffet breakfast they write down 18% tip???
Clean room, comfortable bed, nice walk in shower (no tub). Subway entrance right outside. WiFi wasn't free unless you sign up to rewards club.
Great location, if you can tolerate Times Square. Stayed in a king corner room on the 16th floor. Wife and I loved the bed, the view, and the bathroom. Subway doesn't get any closer, entrance is immediately outside lobby door. Gym was spacious, if you need that. Didn't try the bar/restaurant, just too many other choices in Manhattan. For that matter, nice bathroom and comfy bed is all we needed, as we weren't looking to waste time sitting in the hotel. Again, location is great as long as you want to be very close to Times Square and all that comes with it. Noise of the city is audible on the 16th floor, but wasn't a problem for either of us sleeping through it. Wifi has a fee, but you can avoid it if you sign up for IHC membership.
Nice hotel friendly people The parking people they are affiliated with are ripoff scam artists! DO NOT PARK THERE
Rooms were clean, beds very comfortable, maid service timely, toiletries excellent, service excellent, fitness room spacious, and outstanding location - one block from Times Square, next door to subway stop to SoHo and 2 block from subway going uptown, near great restaurants a block away, and a block or two from most of the major theaters . We have now stayed here three times in the past 4 years - not willing to risk staying somewhere else Nothing not to like, except it can be pricey depending on the day of the week you stay ($300-$400/night), but it is worth it.
They don't give you any options or choices for early check in.
Location was awesome, and we were upgraded to a deluxe room with sweet views. Definitely worth it. Parking was confusion as address given online did not match where to valet park, which was awful because traffic around Time Square is insane sometimes.
Rooms were large compared to many other hotels in New York.
Great location. Nice size room. Friendly staff Had to take elevator up to lobby
Hotel was excellent - perfect location if you want to be in the middle of the action in NYC. Staff was courteous and extremely helpful. Room size was great, room was clean and comfortable. Excellent value!
Took the wife to NYC for a romantic getaway, and wanted to stay in the Times Square area to be close to theaters. This property was perfect for us! Clean, modern rooms with everything we needed, and all within a short walk to the heart of Times Square. we would stay here again in a heartbeat. On the check in website, I made request for highest floor possible with a great view away from the elevator. We ended up on the 29th floor, corner room at the end of the hall which was everything I asked for. At check in I also requested late check out and was allowed 2.5hours which was perfect for our departure to the airport. this Hilton and its staff were top notch. Thanks! Room was cool, had to crank the thermostat to 80 to get warm . This could have been due to havering a corner room with lots of windows. Housekeeping, unfortunately, turned the heat back to 67 each day so the room was cool'ish when we got back each evening. Not a huge concern.
Clean, comfortable rooms. Easy access to elevators to rooms. Staff was very courteous & accommodating. No problems.
Good value for being in the middle of Manhattan.
Flexible with checkout, very helpful staff. For the price, breakfast and internet should be included.
Hotel was very convenient to everything and very well kept. Room was great and had great view. Very spacious for NYC. No complaints.
The location was great. So close to Time Square and in the middle of 2 great Irish Pubs. Only that we could not stay longer.
Location, rooms, restaurant, and 54th Floor Lounge were very nice Everything... we will be back.
Overall staff was friendly.....BUT Our beds were very firm, and our maid did a lousy job cleaning our room. She left a dirty wash cloth on our bathroom floor for two days! We did not receive our requested newspaper at our door, and the staff would not give us a paper because there were no extras. The Internet charges were ridiculous!
Had a wonderful stay. The staff was very attentive and always seeking ways to make our stay better. The location to shows was the best with a theater right next door and the 54th floor bar was a perfect after theater hang out for drinks and snacks. It was also steps away from the subway to go in any direction. We did not have to step foot in a "smelly" new york taxi all weekend not to say the subway was a bouquet.....just kidding on the smell.
Location was great A bit noisy Some of the staff( not all) had attitude. I noticed they were attentive to some people better than others.
Very Clean, Very Modern. Loved it!
Location Overall atmosphere less than satisfactory
The view of the city and comfortable bed
Very clean rooms, updated rooms, great service, great location.
Unlimited cookies! Location location location! The Maid staff was ready to clean rooms by 9. Forgot to put the do not disturb sign up lol. Rooms were always beautiful. Extra blanket should be in the room
Location was great, right in the moddle of Times Square with easy access to shows, many subway lines, Central Park and more. Hotel was spotless and roomy, esp for a NYC hotel. Would definitely stay again. Could be a bit loud with all the honking taxis and construction outside
The staff was very friendly and helped us when needed. They were not hesitant to ask if we needed any assistance. We were also a little late in checking out and they were super nice about it. Highly recommended
I loved the size and cleanliness of the rooms and the location of the hotel. I didn't like that you needed to take an elevator to the lobby and then another to the room. While there it seemed like only a few elevators were working and the hotel was crowded because of superbowl weekend. There was no decent lounge or gift shop.
Rarely do the descriptions match what you get, this exceeded my expectations. Will stay there again.
Good sized rooms Great arrangement for families Right in Times Square if that is what you want. Good value if you need two rooms. Food in hotel was extremely limited Left for airport and couldn't find coffee at 6 a.m A little too much Times Square...accosted by tour guides every time you walk out of hotel door.
Cookies on arrival. Separate sleeping quarters with closing door, (bath is Jack and Jill so can shut bedroom, but kids can still use bath) fridge, safe, hairdryer, microwave. Extra bed is $25/night so asked for packnplay (free) and my 5-year-old slept in there. Had crib sheet and small blanket. You are smack dab in Times Square (can be very crowded right out the door, hold your kids tight). NQR train literally outside and uptown will drop you off at Bloomingdales. Or walk 2 avenues to 5th with shopping. on 17 th floor and very quiet. Could hear sirens at times, but never woke us up. Black out shades make is very dark and close by overlapping, so no need to rig it shut. AC gives off good white noise. Coffee cart right outside. Evergreen coffee shop around the corner and SUPER fast during weekdays. Bed was comfortable enough, but could still feel my husband turn. No USB plugs. At first we had no towels. They brought towels up pretty quickly. Then I later realized there was a dirty bar of soap in the shower I asked to switch rooms, because I did not feel that this room was clean. They switched us to Hilton honors room immediately, which had free Wi-Fi for guests. This was reasonable compensation. The rooms could use a little repair. There was part of a sticker left on furniture, broken tile in the bathroom, wallpaper was coming up in the corners, curtain rod and was broken off the curtains in the window, fridge would freeze food . Nothing unexpected. We would stay there again.
Everything about the stay was top notch!
Great location. Large rooms. Very quiet. Rooms are older. Firnishing are worn out. Bar in the lobby has only basic drinks and bottom shelf wines.
Great location and our view was fantastic. No refrigerators
Loved the shower, bed and location. Our room was not cleaned after our first night. The towels were not of equal quality and some had a very odd smell. No water in our room.
Great location, great size of room, has a fridge in the room. I
Everyone was so nice from the bellmen staff and the front desk staff .They helped me and answered any questions I had.
The Westin Times Square was great overall*. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel staff was also very friendly and professional. Great location by Times Square. but the facilities outside our room were not. The lobby areas didn't feel safe as there were many people hanging out there that did not seem to be guest and the lobby restroom was a mess.
View from the room was excellent. Staff was very attentive to my needs when necessary Nothing
We have stayed at the Westin at Grand Central Station before and all of the Westins are very similar. The room was clean and we had a great view facing west over the Hudson River. We stayed out until 11pm and when we came back in the building security was checking everyone to make sure they were a guest. Some might see this as an inconvenience but I see it as very good security considering where we were. We are very happy with the staff and our stay. The air conditioning filter was clogged.
Liked our room location (corner, 31st floor) Overcharged for drinks at bar, bottle of water (supposedly free) was not replaced.
The room and location was wonderful Staff not so friendly.
Clean. Modern. Comfortable. Lack of parking
The location was great for us, next to the port authority and Times Square. Wine bottle opener had to be borrowed from the bar. Other hotels I stayed at had them at reception.
Friendly staff, free internet, stylish room, free brownies and chocolates, The hotel website promised us a rate that included breakfast. However, we were not able to actually book this on line.
The hotel service is great. Hotel staff is very nice and they send the cards with the weather forecast every night. The location for the hotel is convenient but the neighborhood is not very safe, especially when you walk back to hotel alone at late night.
Clean/Modern rooms We had a lot of trouble with payments (no record of booking and overcharging credit card 5 times) of rooms otherwise great stay
Close to subway, bus station and walking distance to Times Square, many food places. The beds were very comfortable. A bit of a weird smell when entering, and the elevators took their time but overall, we had a great time there. The rooms were small and compact, very comfortable.
Staff was very helpful - hotel is very quiet - very clean - very comfortable -certainly will use hotel again - nice breakfast and bar area no
Rooms were perfect, staff were amazing!!! The bed was like sleeping on a cloud!! Nothing!!
Great hotel, nice staff, good location. Definitely a good value for NYC!
Staff was very attentive! Everything was fine...
Brand new hotel in a central location. Very quiet. Friendly and helpful staff, both housekeeping and on reception. Situated on a slightly seedy street: a couple of adult dvd stores and a Parole Office. The air conditioning unit located in the room is very loud. There's no coffee/tea making facilities in the room. Not really a bad point - maybe just a nice extra that's missing.
The staff were superb and the hotel was gorgeous!!!
Location was fantastic. Close to the action but extremely quiet once you get inside. The rooms were modern, clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom. Staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel lacked a few of the services you typically expect, such as room service, on-site gym and laundry service (although dry cleaning service is available), but this is not a major problem and is justified by the lower room rates compared to the bigger hotels in this area. Would definitely stay here again!
staff is very kind it is for sure no 5 star hotel. Spa area is nice but 5 chairs at the pool are by far too less for such hotel. Dinner and breakfast was also not 5 star.
Good Location room too small
Location is good, staff very helpfull. Small size of bedrom and view hotel in construcion.
The staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. Perfect location and very clean and nice rooms...
The staff is extremely friendly, helpful. They always have a smile – a real, genuine one - on their face. Especially Eric who is concierge of the cassa goes out of his way to make sure you have anything you may need. The beds are extremely comfortable and rooms are nice and quiet – surprising for midtown Manhattan.No need to search anather otel in Times square.
location cleanliness and front desk staff
Location, staff friendliness, room standards
good service and central position for sightseeing and shopping. we waited 20 minutes for somebody to help us with our cases from the 42nd floor to a waiting taxi and nobody arrived. we had to manage 4 large cases on our own.to the waiting taxi..
noice from the peopel who clen the rooms
The service was excellent
We liked that we could walk to the Majestic to see The Phantom and the feel that we were in the middle of the city. We were on the 45th floor and we hardly got any sleep. Our neighbors were partying from 11:00 pm-2:00am. Lots of slamming doors and arguing. It was horrible and when I finally called at 2:00 am the person at the desk made it feel like it was my fault for not calling earlier. You need to have security making rounds to insure a pleasant stay for your guests. Plus, it was our 10th anniversary!!!!!
i loved the location
The hotel was very nice, verrry expensive. Seconds away from the heart of time square. Great experience!! Cost of items were outrageous, but that is probably just New York, Time Square.
Great Location Friendly staff Facilities in the room could be improved e.g. there were no tea/coffee/kettle facilities, no fridge & drinks bar, no robes in the room. The hotel was impersonal, particularly on the ground floor and somewhat tired-looking for a 4 star hotel
Great location!! The hotel was very clean and the staff was really nice and helpful.
Well placed,we went a lot to the theatre, conciers and the theather -people were extremly helpful and nice Nothing

I love your spelling chunk cards, and so do my students! They use them all the time! Do you have a silent e in the packets that I may have missed? Thanks!ReplyDelete

I love your creativity in all of your units/projects. It shows that you really enjoy teaching the little ones. The cards are really cute. Do kindergarteners pick up on these sounds quickly in addition to the letter sounds they need to know? I am a Title I teacher,and the kiddos I have struggle with the individual letter sounds so I would think they would become overwhelmed with all the extra sounds. How do you help your strugglers?ReplyDelete

Williams warns Cintron
"This fight with me and (Kermit) Cintron will be a real classic fight," said two-division world champion Paul "The Punisher" Williams. "I respect Cintron as a man, but when we get in that ring on Saturday night I'm gonna try my best to hurt him 'cause I know he's gonna try and hurt me. I'm gonna hit him with everything I got and he's gonna have to fight me with everything he's got because I'm gonna be on him. It's real close to the fight. I don't want to talk to no one. I just want to do my thing and get ready for Saturday night.
"It's gonna be a war and I'm preparing myself for a war. In my mind I'm gonna have no sympathy for him in the ring. After the fight is over, okay, I hope he'll be all right. I wish him all the luck but, come Saturday night when it's time to get in that ring I'm gonna try and break his ribs, his jaw and I'm gonna try and kill him to death. That's how I really feel. All the time I spent in training camp away from my family and my friends, it's in my mind I'm gonna go get him, hands down. And I'm not gonna say no more."

Sam Allardyce talked to the Newcastle Journal this morning about his side, who are showing inconsistent form, and are playing like a different team away from St. James' Park.
What we have to hope for is all 3 points against Portsmouth on Saturday, but that will probably be our biggest test at St. James' this season so far. Portsmouth are a good side and 2 points above Newcastle in the league table at the moment.
A win of course will leap frog us above Portsmouth in the league.
Sam Allardyce – needs to educate his new players and have them gel – but quickly
Sam talked today to Luke Edwards of the Newcastle Journal:
"We are very happy with the bunch of players that we've got and we are ecstatic at our home form, but the away form is a big concern for us at the moment,â€
"It's not just a problem for Newcastle this season, it's a deficiency which has been a problem for this club for many years and it is something we have to put right if we are going to be successful.â€
" We can't keep relying on home wins the whole time, we have to start picking up points on our travels. Once we can do that we will also play with more confidence away from home.â€
"We've not played well away from home since the games at Bolton and Middlesbrough. We played 4-5-1 in both those games, but we don't really have the players available to play that way so we've gone to 4-4-2.â€
" It's something we are looking at closely because our next away game is at Sunderland and we don't want our supporters to go there and leave unhappy. It's the biggest game of the season for both Newcastle and Sunderland supporters and we don't want to let ours down.â€
The away form since our Middlesbrough draw has been so disappointing. A surrender to the bottom team at Derby County and then we were well beaten in the second half at Manchester City followed by defeat against Reading, who are well below us in the league. In there also is our defeat at Arsenal against the Arsenal reserve side – again we played well in the first half but finally capitulated in the second half with just 10 minutes to go.
Sam went on:
"I wouldn't say I was shocked by the performance at Reading, but we were disappointed because some of the players do not seem to have grasped the fact that you cannot play the same way in every single gameâ€
"Every game needs different qualities to win it and we have to learn that playing and beating a team like Tottenham, who allow you to play football, is not going to be the same as playing a side like Reading who play in a completely different way.â€
"For the foreign players, especially, that is something they have to learn as quickly as possible, but of course it's going to take a little bit of time.â€
"I don't think there is any league in the world which has more diverse styles than the Premier League. You can play Arsenal one week, who play one way, and then a team like Reading the next that play in a completely different way. That can be hard for foreign players to adapt to, but it's our job to get them to learn these lessons as quickly as we can.â€
"Of course it takes time for a new team with so many defenders from abroad to gel and get used to the variations in English football, but we are trying to speed up that learning process as much as we can.â€
We're in a bit of a time warp right now, because we know it takes time for the new players to gel, but we really do not have much time if we are to finish this season high up in the league, which has to be our target. It's a bit of a dilemma for Sam and his coaching staff.
The good thing is we only have 3 games in November, so there is time on our side, at least for the next 4 weeks. But then starting December 1st we have 8 games in 33 days. Let's hope most of our problems have been sorted out by then. There's a lot of points to be won before the end of the year.
Comments and opinions always welcome.

I have no idea as to who is Yongda Hung Harris, but he is one dude that I do not intend to mess with. He began his trip from Japan, stopped over in Korea and then headed to the United States. Upon arrival in the US it was discovered that he was wearing a bulletproof vest, had a smoke grenade, knives, clubs, handcuffs, a gas mask and a few other items in his luggage.
Officials in commenting how someone could have a grenade on an airplane said: "this clearly looks like an error. Something slipped through that should not have slipped through." I agree with this keen observation. The real question is how could ANYONE get all that stuff on an airplane? If Yongda can do it, can al-Qaida do it is the question? I guess the other question is: Yongda, is there someone who you are upset with?

Food Selection
I am giving this store five paws because it has the brand of food Mochi can eat. I also thought the store was clean and the employees were nice.
Not your average pet store
This pet store is small--but we have been loyal customers since it first opened over a decade ago! It carries the largest selection of dog food from the run of the mill brands to the supreme dog foods like (solid gold, innova, eagle pack etc.) that are not found at any other local pet store (shy of healthy pet). The people are not always the nicest or most knowledgeable but this store carries a fantastic variety of foods, toys, and general supplies for cats dogs fish and small rodents.
Get hard to find food here
The store is a little dingy and the staff aren't the nicest, but you can find certain brands of catfood here that are hard to find anywhere else. They carry a pretty big selection.posted: February 22nd, 2007

Nice Rack (for the Kitchen)
If wrestling your favorite pots and utensils from cluttered cabinets is part of your dinner routine, liberate yourself (and your go-to tools) with a piece as artful as it is functional. Made of powder-coated steel, this branchy pot rack can be mounted to a wall or the ceiling. But don't let its wispy beauty fool you. It's sturdy enough to hold multiple cast-iron pots. Merkled wall-mounted pot rack, $375, merkledstore.com.
Are you a DIY-er? Create your own hanging rack with a copper towel bar ($61 for an 18-inch version, wayfair.com) and some S-hooks from the hardware store. Mount the bar to the wall and it will accommodate pans or small pots (nothing too deep). Be sure to leave at least two feet between the bar and the counter so there's room for the pots to hang. If you're really handy, you can aim higher, suspending a beautiful piece of found wood (say, a driftwood branch) from the ceiling with rope, as an overhead rack. You might even consider creating a wall grid for pots using chicken wire. The pot-abilities are endless.

Nicky, Zenchi's owner, specialises in a wide range of bodywork for injury recovery, maintenance or relaxation. Effective management of the body prevents risk of damage, maintaining fitness & improving performance levels. Weather amateur, semi-professional or work related injury Sports massage can be utilised in many ways.
As a Personal Trainer, regular runner and cyclist Nicky has been treating me for a number of years. I rely on her sports massage to keep me and my legs in good shape and free from injury. I would really recommend the Thai massage too which is a completely different energising experience - I feel brilliant afterwards.
I am suffering from a chronic condition known as stenosis of the spine. This condition is very restricting and causes a great deal of pain when attempting to walk any distance. It is very debilitating. At the age of 69 I am finding it more difficult to do so many things we would normally take for granted in life.
Nicky has been treating me for over two years and I can only say what her treatment does for me is just wonderful. Nicky is very caring and most professional in her procedures. The after effects of her treatment give me more pain free movement in my limbs and a wonderful relaxed state of wellbeing. I would not hesitate in recommending Nicky's unique hands on treatment to anyone
Jim Porter
Thank you for the recent deep leg massage you gave me. When I arrived my legs were very swollen due to water retention, my ankles and knees were painful and my left leg in particular was very heavy; I felt I was dragging it after me. But since the two massages and following your advice my agility is markedly improved. I feel I am able to walk much better and for longer. I am more confident in moving up and down steps and my knees no longer feel so painful. I am really pleased at the effect of the treatment, even my lower back feels more free.

Here is a testimonial from Simon who completed the Ironman after being treated at the clinic:
During the past 6 months I have had lots of different types of massages from Nicky while I was training for April 2011, Ironman Triathlon, South Africa and I can honestly say that, it wasn't for Nicky sorting out one niggling injury after another, I would never have completed the training and got through the race on the day.
During particularly heavy training schedules the treatments have allowed me to meet the physical demands and perform to the best of my ability and have benefited from great improvements in my levels of recovery after races and training.
She has proven to be a fountain of knowledge and advice, massive thanks Nicky !!
Zenchi offered it's on-site massage service at a charity event, OILAID, a regular event held annually at Chelsea football club. Open to various businesses to attend and create their own team, playing on the hallowed home turf of the premier league champions & FA cup double winners.
This year Peter Shilton attended along with some past players from Man City, Chelsea and new up coming trainees that all kindly graced our massage tables. Donations going to the OilAid charity. Our services were busy through out the day with a waiting list by teatime. Sadly having to turn a few weary players away by then who we hope had energy to enjoy the gala dinner later that night.

according to this from the article.

Well they got really good hunting anyway.
Maybe I'll retire and the wife, IF she wants to go with me can get a job in one of the hospitals. Somebody in the family has to earn a living, huh?

I think our employees (remember they work for you) of the federal government need to go back to government 101.
Nothing starts with - we get to put you in prison.
I believe Wyoming did this as well with the Firearms Freedom Act. Good on the states to give the finger to the Federal government. This is why we are 50 states and not 1 country, because the Framers DID NOT want a large centralized government making royal decrees across the land. The next step is to get the free states independent of Federal Money, so that way the Feds have no leverage over the state government, which is a common tool they used to get what they want out of states. California is hopeless due to the fact that they are already 16 billion in the hole and require federal subsidies. Plus there is a mass exodus of California of businesses to other states, which is making them losing their tax base. Way to go Alaska, we'll just have to wait and see how they enforce this.

Japan Is Leading The Market Of Virtual Companions With Their Nintendo DS Dating Game
Love Plus has become incredible popular in Japanese cities and has players spending perhaps too much time with their gaming consoles.
Yuuya Iwama is a young Japanese man who enjoy taking his girlfriend Manaka Takane on dates around Tokyo. What makes Manaka special, is that she's a virtual character found on the dating game Love Plus, which is available on the Nintendo DS portable gaming console. However, just like a real relationship, Iwama can converse with Manaka, reply to her e-mails and go on romantic dates. Love Plus includes over 5,000 scripts, 150 CG events and over 25,000 voice expressions. The game is set in real-time and essentially can be played 24 hours a day for a lifetime. The game only ends when the relationship falters.
Iwama has been 'dating' Manaka for over a year and explains that, "She feels as real as my real girlfriend. She is very cute but the most attractive feature is how difficult it is. I have to reply to e-mails. She gets upset if I'm late for dates."
Love Plus was created by Akari Uchida, who believes that having sentiments for a virtual game character is no stranger than having feelings for characters in novels or TV dramas. At this stage, he has no plans to release Love Plus in English.

This should come with natural progression in the game, loot anything and everything to find useful items. Half of what you loot will be money, once you find a vending machine either buy ammo, health or anything else you need. Just keep repeating this process until you have spent over 2000 dollars on vending machine items.
