Reasons to Play
Feb 2008: Please note that Betmaker has been merged into
Betmaker.com has been running as a sportsbook since 1996. It uses
its customer service levels to differentiate itself in a pretty crowded
market, and this makes it one of the more user-friendly and responsive
sports betting sites to play at. It is the online arm of a well-established
offline bookmaker, which has been taking bets and paying out lots of dividends
since the middle of the 80s. This is always a good sign in an online sports
book, as it shows that the company has a solid real-world track record
that it is building on, rather than being an internet-only only start-up
that is trying to jump on board the online betting bandwagon without this
solid pre-existing grounding in the industry.
Betmaker offers a wide range of sports events as well as horse
racing. It provides you the opportunities to play early lines, with extensive
options, as well as to place high limit bets. It caters equally for the
recreational sometime punter, as it does for the high roller and professional
sports bettor. The minimum bet is a very manageable $6 online, with a
maximum bet limit of $5,000 online, which you can increase to $20,000
by telephone. VIP clients, however, can make higher bets by special arrangement.
This is part of the flexibility that the company`s customer service extends
to. You can place bets online, by telephone, or by using their mobile
betting service, which lets you bet using your mobile phone or PDA.
Betmaker`s support staff will serve you in a variety of languages, including
English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Norwegian and Swedish.
You can also place bets in a number of different currencies, including
US and Canadian Dollars, Pounds, Euros and Krone. There are excellent
deposit bonuses on offer. In addition to its wide variety of sports and
horse betting, you can also take part in parlay card betting, office pools,
bingo, virtual racing and lotto. And then there is also a full-service
casino and poker room to come soon.
This is one of the most comprehensive sports books around, and with its
excellent service, player accommodation, betting variety, and attention
to security and privacy, you can`t really go wrong by placing your sports
bets with Betmaker. Betmaker.com has excellent financial backing through
the CRIS group, and your deposits are protected through our $1000
deposit guarantee. They don`t pay, we pay.

The Obama administration is favor of free speech - as long as it can use "peer pressure and shaming" to control it.

The latest gambit from Iran is a reminder of an unacknowledged, but nonetheless very real fact of life: We are at war with Iran — and have been since they attacked our embassy in Tehran in 1979.

If history teaches us anything, it is that wars happen – as Ronald Reagan put it – not when America is too strong, but when we are too weak. So, why do Ron Paul, Jon Huntsman and their libertarian and other supporters not get it?

Fred Grandy is one of the smartest – and certainly most respected men – in Washington. He achieved that reputation the old-fashioned way: He earned it as a former congressman, successful non-profit business executive and longtime top-rated talk radio show host. So when he warns Republicans that they have entered a potentially fatal "box canyon," they should listen.

NOLANVILLE — Despite a low voter turnout Tuesday, Duane G. Hampton defeated Robert Meeks in a runoff election for the unexpired Seat 4 term on the City Council in what could be considered a landslide victory.
Hampton received 75 votes to Meeks' 11, according to unofficial election results.
Sixty-five people cast their ballots in early voting — 56 for Hampton and nine for Meeks, with just 21 voting Tuesday at J.W. Sims Community Center, City Secretary Ginger Metcalf said.
Although Meeks earned more votes than Hampton in the Nov. 6 election, he failed to earn a majority, and the runoff election was called.
Hampton has served in the Seat 4 slot since November 2011, when he was appointed to the council following the resignation of Councilman Miguel A. Aviles.
Hampton attributed his win to voters discovering the moral differences between himself and his opponent, referring to Meeks' Oct. 10 arrest on charges of aggravated assault, evading arrest and resisting arrest following an early-morning domestic call.
"Before, people didn't know what happened, and this time the word got spread around," Hampton said.
Tuesday night, Meeks said he was not disappointed about the election results and extended congratulations to Hampton.
Meeks said he will not run for election again on the city level but does plan to run for county commissioner in two years. "My political career is just starting."
As for Hampton, he has no aspirations of running for a higher office but said he will run for re-election when the Seat 4 term expires next year.
"I'm just trying to make a difference in the community," he said.

Student registration drives planned
From news conferences to campus voter registration drives, CCA chapters are recognizing the importance of the upcoming election and are joining in the statewide campaign to pass Proposition 30 and defeat Proposition 32.
"There is so much at stake. One election could end it. Proposition 32 would prevent our union from being able to advocate for our students and our profession. It would even prevent us from advocating for vital funding initiatives like Proposition 30," said CCA President Ron Norton Reel.
Getting students to vote
"One aspect of community colleges is that our students can vote, said CCA Vice President Lynette Nyaggah, who has been coordinating the CCA campaign. "That's why we are actively involved in voter registration drives on our campuses. It's crucial that our members do everything they can to encourage their colleagues and their students to vote."
Faculty at San Joaquin Delta College has taken that message to heart. They are joining with La Familia Vota, an Hispanic voter registration organization, to encourage Latino students and their families to vote No on 32 and yes on 30. The faculty association is also working with Rock the Vote to increase student registration. Activities planned include a voter registration drive "competition" between student clubs, a presentation on the importance of registering to vote, and banners around the campus.
"We want our students to know they can make a difference," said CCA Board Member Elizabeth Maloney, a Delta College faculty. "If they want to have a voice in their education and work towards improving the quality of education, then the way to be heard is to vote!"
Church presentations
CCA Secretary DeWayne Sheaffer took his presentation to his church, where his message was warmly received.
"There were several retired teachers and folks from other labor unions who came up to me after service wanting not only support but to canvas the neighborhood and place information on the door steps of houses," he said. "They really want prop 30 to pass and to defeat 32."
Sheaffer said his pastor even conducted a call and response to the congregation at the end of the service to remind them how to vote.
Faculty associations at Hartnell, Gavilan and Monterey Peninsula have put together a local plan to get out the vote and will be working with the area's Labor Federation as well. Hartnell Faculty Association President Ann Wright also spoke at a news conference launching the No on 32 campaign this summer during CTA's Presidents Conference at Asilomar.
Pointing to the severe cuts in community college programs and student services, Wright said, "We know we can't just ask for education funding, we have to advocate for it. The loopholes in Prop 32 will allow special interest groups and PACS to spend millions on campaigns and exert their influence, while hobbling unions who are the major groups who defend the middle class. Proposition 32 is touted as campaign reform, but is unfair in its very design. Some reform!"
Resolutions of support
Several faculty associations, including Rio Hondo, Long Beach, College of the Canyons, and College of the Siskiyous have presented resolutions supporting Prop. 30 to their Boards of Trustees, most of whom were more than willing to comply. CCA's Board also approved a resolution in support of Prop. 30. Unnlike another funding initiative, Prop. 38 on the ballot, Prop. 30 would help prevent further budget cuts to community colleges.
Other college faculty associations are participating in local trustee elections while working on the Prop. 30 and 32 campaign. The Southwestern College Faculty Association is working to elect two trustees and is involved in the Prop. 30 and 32 campaigns at the same time. Along with working in coalition with the local labor federation, faculty members have committed to site visits, gathering voter commitment cards, walking precincts and phone banking.
Eric Maag, the interim president of the Southwestern faculty association, observed that there is still some work to do when it comes to educating faculty and the public on Prop. 32.
"We were finding that a lot of our members thought that Prop. 32 was about campaign finance. Once they knew the details, almost 100 percent changed their minds," he said.
YES President Barack Obama
YES Prop 30: Schools & Public Safety Act
NO Prop 32: Special Exemptions Act
YES Prop 40: State Senate Redistricting
NO Prop 31: State Budget Cap

Less than a year ago South Australian cyclist Kieran Modra was lying in a hospital bed with fractured vertebrae in his neck and lower back. He remained in hospital for a month, after having an accident while riding his bike.
Today the seven-time Paralypian and his pilot Scott McPhee won the 4000 metre pursuit [B] giving Modra his third consecutive title in the event, comprehensively beating teammates Bryce Lindores and pilot Sean Finning in the final.
Given the extend of Modra's injuries when he rode into a stationary car as he was trying to negotiate his way through heavy traffic last December, it was remarkable that he was able to compete in London.
Modra, who has been vision impaired since birth, had been riding by himself when the accident occurred.
"I was trying to go around it (the car). I had to meld into the traffic so you're looking for a gap then as I looked forward I hadn't moved out enough to go around it," Modra told Fairfax.
"It's funny because a lot of people have said 'I've done that too' but it is a hard thing because you do get scutinised a litttle but I've gone around hundreds hundreds of parked cars before.
"Everything's on track and you're focused on your performance and one slip of concentration can throw that out the window a little bit. You don't want to let the team down and tandems are all about teams. Scott was a bit devastated because the whole campaign had fallen over at that stage
"It [the impact] damaged the car a fair bit so they couldn't fix it .. the boot area was crushed in and I put a dent right above the rear window and I got about 160 stritches in my forehead."
Modra, 40, is one of the most decorated members of the cycling team and has competed at six Paralympics in athletics, swimming and now cycling. London 2012 will be his final Paralympics, and he paid tribute to Scott McPhee, his pilot for the past 18 months, who he said had tolerated a lot during the partnership.
"He's brought the best out of me and even from the accident what's happened is that we've come together in a closer knit," Modra said.
"He's really supported my progress and supported me through the rehabilitation stage to get back on my feet and get back on the bike again. If it was anyone else I wouldn't have been able to get back on the bike."
McPhee said the accident, in an unusual way, actually strengthened the partnership.
"I think that has brought us closer together just knowing that he looks indestructable but he's not really indestructable and it certainly made us work very hard with each other as a team for the last eight months," McPhee said.
Modra, who has also competed in athletics and swimming, said he had been amazed at his recovery.
"Lying in a hospital bed with a neck brace on saying you can't move for a week I'm thinking in my mind 'I wonder how I'm going to go to London?'" Modra said.
"Scott had to separate himself from it and not try and get not too caught up what was happening with me because I was in a pretty bad shape. I just took every day as it went and just tried to piece it all back together."
Meanwhile, Lindores and Finning said they were satisfied with their silver, the pair finishing almost five seconds behind the winners.
The pair had only come together as a team within the past month after Lindore's pilot, controversial Beijing Olympian Mark Jamieson, was refused a British visa. However, Finning, who had been Lindores' pilot before Jamieson, said the pair had little trouble reconnecting as a tandem.
Lindores said he had learnt a lot from Modra, who has beaten him several times in international competition.
"You can use it as a good benchmark or as a bit of a daunting one as you say but he's been around for years and he's an awesome bike rider and we look up to him and get ideas and thoughts off him and he is an awesome dude," Lindores said.

WHITTIER, CA -- Pop N Go Inc. said it expects to ship its Model N9000 popcorn vender in late June. The company previously announced that it began production in April and moved manufacturing to AVT's plant in Corona, CA. The company is targeting $3 million in orders for 2010.
The Pop N Go machine delivers fresh-popped popcorn while showcasing video content through a 22" LCD topper. It employs AVT's PC-based vending technology.
Separately, Pop N Go said that Fastfliks, its Canadian distributor, and an operator of automated DVD rental machines, has secured "three high-traffic locations" for the Model 9000 test. They are reportedly Union Station in Toronto, Wal-Mart headquarters in Mississauga and one of Canada's largest hospitals. A nationwide rollout will follow, according to Fastfliks chief executive Tony Fusco, who added that popcorn machines will be collocated with DVD kiosks wherever possible.

New iPhone Details- Here's What We Know So Far
Rumor has it that the latest iPhone will be introduced this (Wednesday) morning. Many questions have arised about details on the new iPhone. We have some info to report on, and here's what we know so far:
– It's been referred to internally by the code name N41, but it will probably be called the "iPhone 5″ or "the new iPhone."
-It'll have a different shape with a larger screen and perhaps a different shell.
-It'll have 4G technology and run on cell carriers' fastest networks.
– It'll have new software, iO6, which will include an upgraded version of the voice-activated assistant Siri, new call-blocking features and a new digital coupon-and-passes service called Passbook.
I'm happy it has an updated version of Siri. On my iPhone, her and I don't get along. She isn't as easy to operate as the TV commercials make her seem.

I recently bumped into him and he has let the retention slip. He has no problem transfering the number back to me but he does not have any paperwork for the number.

I am the origianl author of ht://Dig, not of the win32 port of ht://Dig.
However, I think I can help you here... You need to get and install the
cygwin package from http://www.cygnus.com/. It was used to create the win32
port and any programs created with it require the DLL that your copy complains
I hope that helps.

This was so funny I had to post this.
Despite the NFL's best efforts at flex scheduling and moving the Indianapolis Colts' Thanksgiving to a Sunday night in early December, the boys were able to get together Thursday for their annual feast at coach Tony Dungy's house.Here's how the day went. Sort of.
The doorbell rings.
DUNGY: "Peyton, Marvin, Reggie. What are you doing here so early? It's only 10 in the morning."
PEYTON: "Sorry, coach. We like to come out early and go through our routes for a couple of hours. And I brought a TV crew with me. I'm doing a commercial for Larry's House of Catfish. Hope you don't mind."
The boys go out in the back yard to play. Soon, the Dungys' neighbors are calling.
NEIGHBOR I: "Coach, there's a tall, goofy-looking guy in your yard who won't stop yelling, 'Apple! Apple! Apple! Opposite! Pear! Tuna!' We're trying to sleep in over here."
DUNGY: "I'm sorry, Mr. Irsay. I'll try to quiet him down."
Soon, the players start showing up. Hunter Smith brings an intangible. Dwight Freeney brings a sack -- no wine, just a sack. Bill Polian brings a pundit. Dominic Rhodes brings Edge, just because Edge needs a friend.
As the meal is prepared, Dungy notices he's missing one ingredient. That's when the doorbell rings again. It's Adam Vinatieri.
VINATIERI: "I brought some canned cranberries and some fresh ones. Just in case."
EVERYONE: "Is he clutch, or what?"
Peyton comes running in from the back yard. He has found something. An old NFL football, one with Paul Tagliabue's name on it. He looks closely and notices it looks familiar.
PEYTON: "This is the ball our old liquored-up idiot kicker shanked against Pittsburgh. I never thought we'd find it."
Loud knocking at the door.
DUNGY: "Hey, look, it's the offensive line. We were worried about you guys."
JEFF SATURDAY: "Yeah, we all came together on the same bus. You know, the one Peyton threw us under last January."
Peyton excuses himself to do a commercial.
After a few moments, the boys re-gather at the table and gaze at the bounty. They are thankful, indeed. As Dungy begins to lead the team in prayer, he notices Tarik Glenn has begun digging into the sweet potatoes.
ED HOCHULI (APPEARING OUT OF THE ETHER): "No. 78, false start, 5 yards, still second down.''
The boys sit down before a sumptuous feast. They pass the food. The process slows, as it always does, when Manning gets involved:
PEYTON: "Gravy! Gravy! Check! Opposite! Sausage stuffing! Check! Too much sodium! Four-twenty-five! Three-twenty-five central! Two-twenty-five in the mountain time zone! Biscuits! Biscuits!"
Finally, Anthony (Booger) McFarland gets annoyed, grabs the peas.
BOOGER (spooning peas onto his plate): "Hey, have I ever told you guys how I got my nickname?"
PEYTON: "Laser rocket arm! Laser rocket arm!"
JIM SORGI: "Can I just pass somebody the butter? Once? Please?"
DUNGY: "Fellas, I have only one message this Thanksgiving Day, and that is, let's take it one foodstuff at a time. Let's not eat with one eye focused on dessert."
DALLAS CLARK (speaking gratuitously and for no purpose other than to set up the next line): "Everything is perfect. Friends, teammates, great food. Perfect."
DUNGY: "Let's not get all caught up in being perfect. The idea isn't to be perfect. The idea is to win the Super Bowl. I want us peaking some time between dessert and coffee. Coach Noll used to tell me that."
POLIAN: "He's right. There's only one voice that matters here, and that's Tony's voice, once, of course, he's consulted with me. Everything else you hear about Thanksgiving is a bunch of hot air and white noise (with apologies to Michael Richards). The Thanksgiving Oprahs, the Turkey Pundits, they're clueless. They don't watch the tapes. I have the tape of the first Thanksgiving, and I know what's important. It's all about cranberry control, proper digestive technique and addressing correctible errors of etiquette."
HUNTER SMITH: "Hey, you guys want to hear my great quote about the Jacksonville Jaguars?"
Polian glares.
Hunter eats his yams.
Dungy, who has a 9-1 record, breathes deeply. He no longer has to think about resting his starters for the third helping.
PEYTON: "Cabernet Sauvignon! Cabernet Sauvignon!''
Nobody moves. They wait. They wait some more. He's going to audible to Pinot Grigio. Always does.
PEYTON: "Cabernet! Cabernet! C'mon, people, work with me! Time is money! Fill that glass! Fill that glass!"
OFFENSIVE LINE: "You guys ever noticed how Tom Brady got all his guys into his commercial?"
PEYTON: "I hear Greyhound is interested in you guys."
The turkey has been reduced to a carcass. Polian lists the turkey as questionable for Sunday's game. The boys start fighting over the wishbone. Marvin and Reggie. Dallas and Ben. Peyton and his acting coach. Finally, it's Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes.
They battle.
Rhodes wins.
And nobody understands why.
Still, they are all thankful. For the gifts they've been given. For the spoils they have earned. For the fans who've made them the most important sports franchise in town. And for one another, teammates in whom they can trust, with whom they can win a Super Bowl.
As usual, Manning looks ahead.
"Leftovers! Leftovers! Open-face sandwiches! Check! Turkey pot pie!"

The owner of the plastic paddleboat heard a four-wheeler or four-wheelers about 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 6 on the shore near his house on Joggin Lane.
Two men were sitting on a red four-wheeler and attempting to tow the paddleboat from the beach out onto the mudflats.
Digby RCMP Constable Darrell McNeil said they were presumably trying to steal the paddle boat by letting the incoming tide float it.
Instead the pair only managed to rip several large holes in the paddleboat.
They abandoned the boat and fled towards Digby on the old railway bed.
Constable McNeil says the RCMP saw one of the men on the red ATV but he didn't stop.
The Digby RCMP are asking anyone with information to contact the Digby RCMP directly at 245-2579 or contact Crimestoppers at 1-888-222- TIPS (8477) or can visit the website at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca
The Digby RCMP are also looking for help tracking down the thief or thieves who stole 2002 Blue Suzuki DR650 Street and Trail Bike N.S, Licence 173421 from Flat Iron Road in Digby, sometime between 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9 and 10 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 10.

clean, friendly staff, nice central location had to pay to park, was requested to put a 100 hold on my card at check in, they did drop it to 50, but all the website said was a card would have to be on file, nothing about a hold. The shops inside were all abandoned. Only a few open. $4 water offered in room. no fridge
The Arcade is a beautiful Hotel. Staff are courteous and knowledgeable about their facility and surrounding amenities. Centrally located, making everything you want to do in walking distance. First stay was perfect. Great room, extremely comfortable bed, and perfect view of 4th St., cannot complain. Second stay....room was dated, carpet appeared to have water damage, bed was old with ruts and was extremely stiff. Called to ask possibly change rooms and were shot down. I understand hotels fill up fast, especially during big events in downtown Cleveland. However, don't ask me my room preference through email four months in advance and again at the front desk when your going to ignore or know you have no intentions of accommodating a single preference. Just be honest and up front about availability.
Nice atmosphere. Great location in town.
There was a lovely gentleman working the front desk who was able to let us check in early. It was a huge help to us considering we had been traveling for over 10 hours with no sleep. The room was very nice; my only complaint would be that there are no fridges available in the rooms.
We had a good time. Great view, such a comfortable bed! The additional 30.00 for one night parking.
Great service from the valet and front desk staff. Great location with two main entrances on both sides of the hotel.
Excellent stay
Pleasant and helpful staff. Dirty, dirty, dirty...stained carpets, broken tiles, torn upholstery on furniture, moldy shower curtain - GROSS!
The hotel itself has a super cool environment and the building is spectacular... until you go in the room. This was our second attempt at The Arcade and both times we have requested a bath tub and paid an uncharge for a room with a view. Both times the view that we upgraded to was a concrete wall 6 feet from the window. They moved us to a room with an actual view this time at least, but the room was just cleanish and had no bath. We actually think that this may be the room where employees take breaks as the table had pretty clearly had drinks on it not long before we arrived and the TV was on. If they charged $100 or even $150 for rooms here, it would be fine. In fact, it would be good. For $360 a night though, we were really expecting something more than a few steps above a Holiday Inn.
Location,staff Very small room
Staff friendly n professional, elevator wouldnt take us to 12th floor only to 10th floor had to take steps up too room to unload bags. Had to go to front desk and ask why elevator would take us up to correct floor. Also drinks at bar for two beers 12 dollars pricy,and heard motors running outside room all night
Staff was super friendly.
Beds were perfect. Very comfortable. Pillows were spot on. That is only thing was nice to say about my whole stay. Room was dirty, hair in tub and in the sink. Also smelled funny. Not sure where it was coming from. Parking was very close. My van had door dings. The room size was so small a king size bed was just as big as the room. This place was NOT worh the money.
Good locatoon, easy walk to local attractions, restaurants, athletic venues. Rooms were comfortable and clean, hotel bar was nice but always under-staffed. Hotel was probably sold out for NCAA tournament, they did not staff the hotel properly. 2 working elevators for 20+ floors after a Thursday night game, plus they closed the bar/restaurant as people returned from the game. Check-in was slow on a Thursdsy, room not ready until after 4:30. Staff were nice, just not enough of them.
The hotel was convenient to the Convention Center. The room was clean, hotel was quiet, and the decor modern and relaxing. The attached restaurant is very expensive--if you're traveling on a budget, you're going to have to walk a few blocks to find something cheaper.
The room was clean, we were put on a high floor with a great view. The staff was excellent. I guess I'm just too picky about the cons. I'm a stickler for good service and the Westin did exactly what they were required to, but nothing more. For example, I asked for a fruit platter & champagne to be put in the room. It was my husband's birthday and it sucked we were stuck in a hotel after a business trip, so I wanted to make it a bit more exciting. Most the fruit was fine, but they didn't pick out the moldy grapes and shriveled berries. There were two glasses for coffee, but provided only one cup serving of grounds. The bag of coffee itself couldn't be opened easily, and since we were traveling, we had no sharp objects. The vanity mirror was broken. Little stuff adds up and I was overall disappointed for a $250+ night.
The bellmen were outstanding with holding our luggage in storage while we waited 2+ hours for our car at check-out on new years day. They were what made an otherwise unpleasant experience tolerable and actually enjoyable. The valet service was horrible. The wait was long yet tolerable because of the westin's staff and pleasantness. The valet staff had 8 people standing around the podium (not moving or running any cars) sitting there cursing in front of guests during a verbal argument- very off-putting.
amenities, proximity to points of interest, great adjacent restaurant lacking microwave in room, option to request one was not mentioned by the staff; learned about option by default as we were checking out...
Front desk was very friendly and quick to get us checked in and out. Parking was very expensive.
Cleanliness and layout of rooms. No breakfast included with stay. No garbage can in bathroom or recycling in room period.
The place was clean and comfortable with a higher end business vibe. No complaints.
Fitness room great! 1. The hotel facilities are not kept in good repair. For example, the telephone in the room had keys broken or removed from the key pad. 2. Could not check out because the computer system was frozen. I received a email of folio that appears to contain incomplete expenses.
This location was chosen for it'so proximity to FirstEnergy Stadium, but it also has a multitude of shops and restaurants very close by. Lack of a greeting by hotel staff.
We had no hand towels, wash cloths, or shower floor mat. One of the bath room bulbs was out. The floor had crumbs from the list visitor and the room had to tv cabinet stand but only 1 tv. The room was also missing a mini fridge and microwave.
The cost of valet. Also mark from valet insisted I had to pay him separately before he would run to get my car.
Location to playhouse square. Breakfast good. Dinner good but extremely expensive. Staff friendly. Beds comfortable. Pool was cold. Room was hot. Hot tub out of order. Two elevators out of order. Very frustrating.
Comfortable bed and room. Decently clean. Breakfast "buffet" was never replenished when food ran out. Never any plates or silverwear. For $15 a person I should be able to get as much food as I want. I was seated by the employee hangout hole in the dining room where I had the pleasure of listening to them complain about customers. Staff needs fired. Also checking out was a joke. They claimed they had no record of us being in that room rather someone else by a different name. Hire some employees with brains and manners.
Everybody that worked there was very nice. The front desk helped me immediately. Very nice place to stay. If I ever come back to Cleveland, this will be my first choice to stay Nothing. everything was great!
We enjoyed the location. Also the lobby was decorated beautiful for Christmas. To get our room cleaned we had to ask specifically for it...2 separate times. There were wet towels molding in the floor before we got someone to come clean.
We had to wait online forever to get into our room. They only had one lady checking in reservations and customers were definitely getting erritated.
Very close to Progressive Field. Decided to stay here because of ability to park car during 2 day stay and be close enough to walk everywhere. Only a few blocks from Progressive field, restaurants, bars, as well as sights in downtown Cleveland. Had an excellent stay. Beds were very comfortable, rooms were quiet. Shower had very low pressure. TV remote did not work and was stuck on the Hotel Movie Preview channel. Was trying to check local weather before going for a walk before a game but remote did not work, and there were no change channel buttons on the TV itself.
Darryl at reception & the rest of the reception & housekeeping staffs were very helpful & friendly. The location is perfect for walking around the city to all the local attractions. The room was clean & comfortable but basic. I had a nice view of the square & the lake. I just wish the room had a fridge and/or a minibar. The coffeemaker also didn't work very well & leaked half the water out. Not a big deal as there were coffee shops nearby.
Room had a nice view Staff were pretty rude ... parking not included in rate .. it was 24 bucks to park ... room wasn't very clean
Location Bedding had stains on it, full-length mirror looked like someone had poured coffee down the bottom of it, stains on everything- carpet, ironing board, comforter. No in-room fridge, room service closed early (only have it until 11pm, but no one answered the phone even before that at 10:50 pm). Staff was courteous, location was great; but completely unimpressed with the cleanliness of our room (or lack thereof).
I wish I could come up with something nice to say about this place, but there really isn't anything nice about it. A mediocre hotel. The view was okay. Mildew in grout on tub. Furniture in ratty condition. Room smelled musty/old. Tub drain clogged. Towels thread bare and had burnt linen smell. Elevator to garage was old and dirty.
Location and bed Wait to check in
Room was cleaner than expected and the King size bed was about as comfy as it gets! Staff was personable and helpful, Super old elevators
bed location DIRTY BATHROOM-HAIR EVERYWHERE valet took 8 dollars from car no breakfast 26 dollars to park-above hotel costs coffee creamer in in room coffee curdled
The location was perfect for our use and the staff was very helpful. The room could have used a better cleaning. There were cobwebs in the corners and on the curtains.
The room including bed was comfortable. Facilities were very clean and updated. The valet was super! He was the most helpful and friendly of all the staff. Valet parking fee was expensive. We booked through an online service thus our breakfast was not included in our room reservation. For what we paid $$ it should have been included as there were no sporting events thus low vacancy. It was still a long walk to many attractions that we wanted to go to but if you are going for basketball baseball or convention center it would work.
Comfortable bed Small bathroom
The location was the best part Compared to other hotels that I have started at I felt like I didn't get my full value out of it. It was the little things that weren't available like a little fridge, a DVD player. The AC didn't work very well if at all. Even at 60 degree I was still sweating.
Proximity to the Q - super easy walk across the street for a CAVs game with my 10 YO son.
Location was close to what we needed. Staff was super friendly. Sheets were dirty. No reasonable parking. No breakfast amenity.
Location Understaffed. Dated
Everyone was very friendly.
The location was great, just a short walk to Quicken Loans Arena. The staff was friendly and the hotel was clean. Very comfortable beds. Parking was expensive and should have been included. We had dinner in the hotels restaurant and the food was good but the seating was too close to the doors, we were freezing the whole time.
Location was perfect Had no dislikes
Great location, great people, and great shuttle service. Parking lot should have been compt.
Complimentary refreshments in the lobby. Great cookies, coffee, tea and water. After walking around the city its wonderful to be able to grab a quick bite and drink upon entering the hotel without having to dig for $. Staff was friendly and more than willing to help. Pool and spa were also great. Lobby couches were worn out, hotel shuttle was limited.
Liked the location next to Progressive Field. Older Hotel, but was kept clean and easy to get to. Parking in the back. Only 1 choice for breakfast, all you can eat for about $12. Tried to get a drink at the bar after an Indians gamed on a Sat. night, only 1 person working the bar and no waitresses. The bar was mostly full, but we sat at a table. Asked for a wine list at the bar after being ignored waiting to order a drink. " Didn't have one and the wines are right there", pointing to a shelf in the back. Of course we left. She wasn't getting our business there. Another couple left without getting a drink before us too. The bed was soft and lumpy and uncomfortable and the pillows were too soft. I'll stay somewhere else next time.
The manager on duty was accommodating and kept her cool in the midst of the problem. The room was comfortable. They oversold themselves, even though I only made the reservation on the way from the airport. Took a long time to sort it out. I did eventually get a good room that was comped.
Room booked via kayak was not room given upon checkin. Air conditioning did not work. Hotel charged my card $25 fee without authorization or advisement. When I called to inquire I was advised it was displayed at the counter. I told the woman that the man never said a word to me about it, regardless of whether it was displayed or not I should still be advised at the time he took my card. She refused to see it that way and transferred me to a voicemail where I left a message for a manager. It has been nearly a week and I have still not received a call back. Ac didn't work. Poor customer service. Hotel was doing remodel so was dirty and run down.
Location to Progressive Field and downtown area. Staff was very nice and helpful
The staff was very friendly and exceptionally helpful. All questions were answered above expectation. Room was outdated. City side drapes did not close, let in lots of light at night. Overpriced for expectation, but not for location.
Location Very strong air freshener in the room, almost to the point of overwhelming.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was a very nice size and had everything we needed. Parking fees were understandable considering the location. Beds were comfortable. There was no fan in the bathroom. Not a huge deal but hard to get ready when everything is fogged up and you can't open the door cause the others in your room are sleeping! Could also hear the people in the next room coughing up a lung through the bathroom vent...not a pleasant sound first thing in the morning but obviously not the hotels fault!
Staff and facility was excellent
Loved the whole feel of the retrofitted space! Extraordinarily comfortable, great safety features, and amazing location.
Overall clean, good breakfast. Wifi worked well. Room was modern, but the bed was soft. Had complimentary fridge and microwave which was nice. Would have loved this hotel if traveling for work, but not really the best set-up for a family with a baby. Drunk person wandering around front of hotel when we went to check-in at 8pm on a Friday. Had to carry our infant through group of smokers that congregate at the front door (gross.) Nobody manning the front desk, had to find someone to check us in. Only offer valet parking option. The free "crib" provided was just a pack and play, not really good for sleeping baby (or easy to clean!) and overall the hotel was on the noisier side. Also no bathtub in the room for bathing kids.
Recently opened after multi million dollar historical restoration...beautifully done well appointed and great central downtown location. Although not crowded during my stay I would imagine the hallways will become very noisy due to the beautifully restored marble floor and half wall wainscot.
nicely appointed rooms, clean, fairly comfortable. Located within walking distance of several restaurants and attractions and close to the lake. Staff was a bit harried, not helpful when it came to directions. The 90 East is closed right now, making it a challenge to get in and out of there with GPS. Difficult but not impossible. Staff did not seem to know about this and were not a good source of information for alternative directions.
Typical Hampton inn amenities...Everything I have come to generally expect. Clean and comfortable overall. Breakfast provided--but could have used a bit more variety in hot food options. First...Parking. Granted, I'm used to downtown areas, but I had no idea that the only parking options here were private surface lots and garages, or paying for hotel valet parking. I guess I'm just used to a hotel parking garage or lot of some sort with permitted or validated parking. On the plus side, the valet rate I was charged was a flat $24 for the entire stay. Not terrible. I didn't go in and out, just walked where I needed to go for the most part. Second...The staff. For the most part they were friendly, but I arrived in the very early AM and the night attendant almost seemed like they would rather not deal with checking me in (sorry--our system is in the middle of an update...You're going to have to wait 15 minutes before I can check you in). Third...Overall condition of the property. Not bad, but definitely shows signs of wear and tear and could use a good refresh. Fourth...The room. It was a nice enough room, but was equipped as an accessible room with an adjoining room, neither of which I had asked for. The bench in the shower could not be completely moved out of the way, leaving the only options to either fold it down and use it or deal with it leaning out from the wall slightly. A clip to keep it folded against the wall would have been helpful. Finally...Noise. It should have tipped me off when one of the amenities in the bathroom was a set of earplugs. I was given no warning about this. Things were quiet...at first...until sirens started blaring overnight at street level down below. I was clear up on the 6th floor and could still hear them. The last night I was there (remember the adjoining room I mentioned) the group in the adjoining room was either very loud, or this set of adjoining doors had the worst noise isolation characteristics in the world. Probably a combination of both. I finally had to call the front desk and ask them to send someone up. I hate to be "that guy" but this Hampton really let me down overall.
We regularly stay at Hampton's so are very familiar with them. This one was perfect for visiting the Rock Hall and Progressive Field. Everything was expected for a typical Hampton Inn. The breakfast was probably the worst part. They didn't seem to keep the food stocked up so there was scraps left both mornings that we ate there. Our room only had 2 towels, which I found strange, usually there are 4. I had to ask for a 3rd for the 2nd morning. We didn't bother having maid service because they didn't show up until 3pm and by that time we had been out and back and were relaxing for a bit. Valet parking was good but it does cost $20 per night.
Great location. Nice breakfast. Comfortable room. No easy access to evening meals. Price of daily parking.
Location. Cleanliness. Comfortable bedding. Found room very quiet even being next to a young family. Easy and efficient air conditioning. Overall a good place to stay. Did not make up room second day during my stay. Returned to room late afternoon to find no clean towels when we wanted to shower. Front desk said they were behind on laundry and they would run towels up as soon as they could. It was not long after that towels arrived, but to be 5pm and not have made up rooms with fresh towels falls below expectation. Shortly after towels arrived, we were asked if we wanted room service. Late in the evening to be offering, but at least they were checking still.
It was a nice place close to where I need to be cost of room was good also was the breakfast Wish the room had a frig to keep the food I got at the West side market cold. That's the only that was missing
Close to rock hall and bars No room service and breakfast buffet was inadequate for the number of guests, they ran out of food and the wait was ridiculous
Very friendly staff, clean
Location very good close to everything that walking distance ? very nice hotel the stay in and the breakfast are very good ,I will stay here again when I come back in Ohio.best place to stay in Cleveland.
The mattress and pillows were very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Ice only on even floors
Great room - good breakfast, although when we were there, so was everyone else. The staff had trouble keeping up with the crowd. I like a firm mattress - it was ot
The cleanliness of the entire hotel as well as my room. Breakfast was a plus! The frown on the front desk lady, she wasn't nice at all. The night one
Close proximity to every major item in downtown Cleveland. Easy walk to the Browns stadium. This Sunday morning breakfast buffet continue to run out of food. You would be waiting in line and get up where the food is and trays would all be empty
Just very expensive for less than 24 hours in the hotel and it cost me over $300 for the room and the valet parking was $25 per day which totaled $50, to park my car for 27 hours. Arrived at 11:30 am left the next day at 2:30 pm.
We spoke to 3 different people on the phone and they were all rude and unhelpful to the point that we cancelled our stay and stayed at the doubletree where EVERYONE we spoke with was helpful and the request for double beds specifically which was the simple request we had was met with a no problem and see you soon. The 3 Marriott women were very rude and said it wasn't their job. Stay at the Doubletree they are friendly and give you delicious cookies!!!
Had booked this room months in advance. Called the week of our stay to confirm our reservation and notify them we would be a late check in. At check in they no longer had a room for us, and sent us to another hotel nearby where we were given a king bed for multiple people. The room was really expensive, and we ended up getting something less than satisfactory.
Check in and check out were fast. Everything was clean. They make staying there hassle free.
Comfortable and easy
Fabulous modern room with wonderful upgrades, very relaxing comfortable bed. Room was quiet and like an oasis. Views of downtown Cleveland all around. Incredible picture windows on entire wall. The room was just unbelievable! A bit small. The shower and bathroom so open and in the middle of the room felt a bit awkward but it was okay for a short stay.
Location, rooftop bar, valet parking no complaints
The Glidden House is like stepping back in time. The staff and decor are of an earlier genteel era without being stuffy. No hotel chain feel here. Room service is catered from the next door restaurant - and the executive chef is a recent James Beard award winner - can't beat that! Complimentary breakfast on the sun terrace is a great start to any day. Air conditioning although adequate, was a little uneven at night.
1. Pleasant walks available through CWRU campus 2. Excellent complimentary hot breakfast 3. Very clean 4. Good size room 3. Other than A/C, the room was in good working order 1. A/C unit not effective in maintaining even temperature - I was required to keep the unit set too cold in order to prevent room from getting tepid 2. A bit complicated getting to Cleveland Clinic parking from hotel (this was a recommended hotel for visits to CC) 3. TV was flat screen but old technology - not HDTV
Conveniently located near the Cleveland Clinic
The price. Had to pay for parking. The area.
Clean. Quiet Next to hospital. Pricey considering I spent all day in hospital and only slept and showered in room. Room service prompt. Good food.
No finish my stay at the hotel . Was therty .sucio el baño.towels every bad
They helped me arrange to have flowers there for our anniversary and if we need to stay somewhere, we are picking this one again. Tv in the room was a little old.
Loved the rooms and comfort of the bed. Enjoyed the services provided. Did not like that there isn't much diversity in the staff.
The valet staff was amazingly friendly and polite. The room views were so-so. We kept finding long black hair around the room (my hair is short and dyed red, his is short and light brown). The shampoo/shower gave me dry scalp.
Friendly, helpful staff. Wood floors. Clean. Nice decor. Delicious restaurant. Convenient to Cleveland Clinic & Museum of Art. Comfortable bed. My husband loved the shower head. Our door opened into the hallway, with slope. No inside chain on door. Bedside lights too bright and not over bedside table. Not much counter room in bathroom.
Every staff member smiled and were sincerely friendly (from Maintenance, Valet Reception and everything in between. The Canopy Restaurant was Excellent; Servers' Julia and Paloma were fabulous at their jobs and very nice women. Having to spend long days at the Cleveland Clinic with very ill daughter this was a great place to come back to and have dinner. Prices very reasonable. My husband commented that The Tudor Arms Hotel, a ,Beautiful Historical Building, was a real find. We ate in the restaurant each night and was great to see the same people. Had to have a hotel close to the Cleveland Clinic and this was the 3rd closest with better rate than the other two. The rate was a little high having to stay for a week. I booked 1st part of week and rebooked for rest and they waived the $20.00 a day parking fee for the first booking as we had a patient at the Clinic; did not waive for rest of the week. We arrived on Sunday early evening and our Flat Screen TVs had no digital signal and they could not be fixed or replaced until Tuesday. My 80-year old mother was with me at the time and although our Junior Suite (Handicap Accessible) was great, having 2 not-functional TVs was a real problem for someone spending most of the time alone.
Loved the rooms...not very large but very efficient and comfy!
Nice place, friendly/helpful staff, easy to walk to great places. The Flats is a great place to use as a base for exploring when you flee to the Cleve. When I got drunk I forgot which elevator bank went to my room and which went to the parking garage. I guess you can't fault the hotel for that.
The check in and out was fast and friendly. The rooms were nicely appointed and new. The bedding was comfortable and the view of Lake Erie was fantastic. Many restaurants close by. Complimentary coffee in the Morning. No complimentary breakfast at this location.
It was new and a ok location. Staff was great. The pillows had a make up stain on them when we showed up. Tlake to a guest acrsss the hall from us and his room was dirty as well. It was so load at night. The bathroom doors are sliding barn doors and you can hear other rooms using the bathroom all night. We will not be back at this hotel
The location was good, walking distance to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, which is what we came into town to see. The room was a little small, but they made great use of the space. Everything was clean, and the bed was super comfortable. There was a market attached to the back of the hotel where we got lunch for a more reasonable price than if we had probably found a resturant. Because we were only there for one night they offered us a reasonably priced alternative for parking. We would stay here again if we eve came back. It was next to the Amtrak track, and so was a little more noisy than expected. Bit since I normally wear earplugs to sleep anyway, it wasn't really an issue. Also, there was no dresser, just a small closet, which might be a bigger issue for someone staying more than one night, but wasn't a huge issue for us.
The hotel was very nice and the staff was very accommodating. I really appreciated the snack and refreshments area as I was able to grab a quick snack after a late night of working. The price was very fair. The room was comfortable and clean, and I got a very nice view of the lake after marking view as a preference. The only thing I did not like was the party vibe that the hotel seemed to support. Their W XYZ bar stayed open until 2 am and guests returning from their adventures out or at the bar were very noisy returning to their rooms. This is not really the hotel's fault, but guests obviously felt like they could be loud and disruptive after a night of partying, and I think this speaks to the hotel's atmosphere.
Staff was very nice, and the building was sleek and modern. The Aloft might have been better for a businessperson looking to make a quick stop in town. The room was very, very small, and the train (our room was on the opposite side of the building, away from the train and overlooking the courtyard/office building) shook the room. All in all, it was ok--but I think we could have had a better experience for what we paid.
Not much actually. The yellow stains on the linens. Other stains on the furniture I am hoping were not bodily fluids. The thermostat for the a/c did not work, and after an hour, I figured out how to manually turn it on. Not a very professional establishment. Checking into the front desk was like buying a ticket to a funhiuse.
Staff were available all the time. Location was good. Room was not clean. Had to change the room during the night we reached.
The price and location Was not very clean, someone else's hair on bathroom floor
The vanity was outside the bathroom instead of trying to cram it into the bathroom The blankets didn't look as clean as they should have been
The beds were super comfortable. The bathroom needs more privacy. Especially when staying with a group of friends.
Rooms were clean and well designed. Slept well because beds were comfortable, drapery kept light out, and room well insulated from noise. This is a large hotel and yet whenever we contacted the staff via text, room phone, or in person they responded to every one of our requests quickly. The hotel is within walking distance or short taxi ride of tourist attractions and restaurants etc. Also the view is nice. I wish there had been charging outlets on the long desk/counter.
Title pretty much sums up out stay. We arrived late at night and was greatest with a friendly smile and directed to our roo . Room was spacious and clean. Beds and pillows were comfortable and the bathroom was well maintained. No comments whatsoever. By the way, if you are worried about being so close to the airport...have no worries. We were on three uth floor and did not hear one plane fly over at al . Great stay. Thank you Hilton
I liked that they had a gym and business room.
The staff was very attentive and breakfast was really terrific.
Meticulously clean and quiet. Very friendly staff. Excellent airport shuttle service.
All staff were helpful friendly and responsive
Food wasn't great for how much we spent, and breakfast is super expensive for a family of 4. Especially, when I thought it was included in my stay from trip advisor.
Very friendly staff, nice comfy bed, good breakfast bar
Location to the CLE airport I wanted to leave my vehicle for the duration of the flight and get a shuttle to the airport and was told that the program was unavailable and full. They didn't even ask what time my flight was and the parking lot was only half full.

If the weather is nice, you'll likely see Bill Porterfield walking along Via Sacra from his home to Gilmer Hall. If the weather is very nice, he'll be driving his convertible 1959 Corvette.
Not many people at Hampden-Sydney have seen as many changes as Bill Porterfield (seen at right as he was during the early 1970s). The inorganic chemistry professor came to the College in 1964-although he likes to point out that he signed a contract in August of 1963, but the pay was so low that he had to stay at his job at the Alleghany Ballistics Lab to save enough money to make the move. When he arrived, academic majors were only seven years old and Hundley Stadium had not been built. Neither had Gilmer Hall-the sciences were still taught in Bagby. The new library was Eggleston Hall, then only half the size it is now.
Dr. William Wendell Porterfield's 48-year full-time teaching career is topped only by that of J. H. Curry Winston 1894, who taught chemistry from 1899 to 1949. (Porterfield says the College didn't have a retirement plan in those days, so that Winston-for whom Winston Hall is named-could not afford to retire.) Many living alumni likely believe that Dr. Graves H. Thompson 1927 taught for more than 50 years; though his career lasted from 1939 to 1993, he retired from full-time teaching in 1977.
The faculty of the early 1960s was quite different from the current faculty. There were some academically-progressive professors, including the brash and aggressive chemistry professor Tyler Miller, the son of then-James Madison College President G. Tyler Miller.
Porterfield, who earned his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina in 1962, recalls, "The rest of the faculty at that time had been here since before World War II-or had come here right after-and were set in a very traditional curriculum. The difference between the BA and BS was that for a BA you had to take a modern language and an ancient language-two years of each. For a BS you had to take only two years of a single language and a full year of each of the three introductory sciences.
"The faculty were incredibly traditional about the liberal arts. Almost all of them were teaching courses that could have been taught in the 1890s, not that they didn't have any newer material-these were people who were plenty smart-but they were teaching courses the way they were taught in the 1890s, except for a few razzle-dazzle teachers who had been filtered out by the [public] school closing."
"I'm really struck by what has not changed. The curriculum has changed enormously, ... the faculty is completely different. But the student body is almost exactly like it was when I came ... a great bunch of young men to work with."
Retiring Professor of Chemistry
Tyler Miller, who was vocally progressive, was soon pressured by conservative colleagues and townspeople to leave in 1966. It wasn't until 1968, when the department grew by two professors, including Dr. Herbert J. Sipe, Jr., to a total of four, that it could run advanced laboratory classes the way they are done today-a system of which Porterfield has always been a strong proponent and for which he has written a widely-used textbook.
"I'm really struck by what has not changed," notes Porterfield. "I mean, the curriculum has changed enormously: the core [requirement] has gone down from 96 hours to 50-ish. And AP [Advanced Placement] is a lot more common than it used to be, which means the bottom edge of the distributive requirements tends to get AP credit so students never really take those courses here. There is much more emphasis on majors ... and of course the faculty is completely different.
"But the student body is almost exactly like it was here when I came-okay, so we have some minority students now. The students are all polite and medium-level interested. This is not the MIT-level of fighting for every morsel of fact, but they don't flake off either. You get a decent level of effort in the classroom. What I have seen for 49 years is students making a reasonable level of effort. You get a couple of screw-ups in every class, but the density of screw-ups now is neither higher nor lower than it was in 1966. I don't have a problem with this. This is a great bunch of young men to work with."
Unlike many of the buildings at Hampden-Sydney, for the people of the College change is inevitable. Dr. Porterfield ended his 20-something-year run of high-powered and highly orchestrated July 4th fireworks displays two years ago. Essential tremor in his hands makes grading papers nearly impossible. After a successful career teaching generations of young scientists, Bill Porterfield is stepping aside.
"I really shouldn't [be teaching] any more; is what it comes down to, and it's too bad, because this has been a fun period. I would like to keep on teaching chemistry; I would like to keep on teaching Western Culture. It just doesn't work very well."
For those who come back looking for Dr. Porterfield, you'll likely find him. After decades of walking down Via Sacra to work every day, serving for 20 years on the County Planning Commission, and attending literally hundreds of Tiger football and basketball games, he and his wife Dorothy have no plans to move away. On warm summer days, they may even go for a ride in his Corvette.

The aborigines in the area had been visiting
well before Matthews
incredible navigational
journey from London.
Local aborigines from
across and
and ceremonies on Coochiemudlo .
The aboriginies named Coochiemudlo,
(Kutchimudlo) meaning RED ROCK,
not only because of the rich, volcanic,
red soil found here, but also because
of the huge "Red Rock
found on the south-west side
of the Island.
Coochie is clearly visible from
Coochiemudlo was used for farming in the early 1890s
The island was filled with custard apple orchards, banana plantations and other various edible and native vegetation. There also use to be cattle farms on Coochie as well as great fishing!
It's been reported, the cattle farmers on occasion, would herd and walk their cattle to the mainland, across the shallow waters of Moreton Bay during low tide .
Coochiemudlo became popular with tourists
in the early 1940s
"The Miramar" use to transport day visitors from
the Bay Islands on the week ends.
Over 30 years ago the island had only a sprinkling of little holiday shacks, with a barge service only operating once every two weeks.
Now Coochie has many holiday homes as well as full-time residents who commute daily to work on the regular half hour ferry service.
Today, Coochie is more popular than ever, mainly because
of its magical old fashioned charm.
Coochie has a very quietsleepy little
village feel to it, with welcoming sandy beaches, calming
blue waters and its untouched natural beauty that still shines!
has a bedroom dedicated solely to Matthew Flinders
and his famous cat Trim! The young at heart
truly adore the "BEACH SHELLAY"!!
People of all ages, young or old, love to come to Coochiemudlo and especially like to stay at QUIRKY COTTAGES!

Hi all,

I'm using 9.1-RC2 amd64 on a Thinkpad x61. Overall: awesome! but I'm running into an issue with my networking. I use both wired & wireless interfaces at work, and I've enabled lagg0 for failover. Please let me know if I'm doing something incorrectly.

Currently, I'm plugged in and my wireless is active, too (em0 & wlan0); everything is working great. If I unplug em0, I need to restart [1] the network for wlan0 to become active. After the restart, wlan0 works correctly.Ā

If I replug em0, I can't seem to do anything short of a reboot to get *either* network interface to work. I typically try to ping one of our servers or Google, every attempt is met with:

ping: cannot resolve www.google.com: Host name lookup failure

I've attached the outputs from three different ifconfigs:

ifconfig-em0: initial state, everything seems to be working fine

ifconfig-restartFails: post-replug state, where nothing will work

ifconfig-postReboot: after rebooting and things are working again

I've read through lagg(4) and, from what I can tell, I don't seem to be using it incorrectly, although if this isn't a recommended use-case for lagg I'd like to know :). I want to say that I seem to recall slightly different behavior from 9.0 -- I had failover in either direction (em0 > wlan0 > em0) without having to restart the network (or at least I think I had...). Could there have been a change in the Network Manager's functionality between 9.0 and the 9.1-RCs?

Thanks very much for your time!Ā

Cheers,
Bridger

text: 4. Accumulating credit card debt: Credit card debt means that you are paying interest to the credit card companies instead of growing a retirement fund. It's one of the worst things that you can do. When you end up paying credit card debt rather than placing the same amount of money into your 401(k) or IRA, your retirement fund will look a lot less healthy in the long run. 5. Counting on an inheritance: Counting on an inheritance or some other type of cash windfall for your retirement is playing with fire. While your parents may have a good retirement fund for themselves, there are so many things that can happen to quickly drain that fund. This is especially true if they get sick and have a lot of medical bills or if they need to go into long-term care. You should always remember that their money is theirs and not yours, and they are free to spend it any way that they like. If you do receive an inheritance, it should be looked at as an added bonus. But you should not count on it for your retirement fund. 6. Buying more house than you can afford: Purchasing a bigger house than you can afford can do huge damage to your retirement fund. This is because you're placing all your money into your mortgage instead of investing a portion of it for retirement. While a house does have some tax advantages on the mortgage loan, they are not nearly as good as the tax advantages of a 401(k) plan or an IRA. It's also much more difficult to get your retirement money out of the house than from a retirement fund. While housing as an investment is something you might want to consider to create more wealth, your own house should not be viewed as a retirement investment, and you should make sure that you can pay your mortgage and contribute to your retirement fund at the same time. 7. Neglecting insurance: Insurance exists for a reason: to protect you against an unlikely but high-cost event such as a fire, an unexpected serious illness, a natural disaster or a major auto accident. People who forgo insurance in an attempt to save money run the risk of putting their entire retirement savings in jeopardy if an unfortunate event takes place in their lives. You want to make sure that you are adequately insured to prevent this from happening.

Formula 1 team Red Bull's team principal Christian Horner Friday said that Kimi Raikkonen (in pic), Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne are the likely contenders to replace Mark Webber as world champion Sebastian Vettel's teammate in 2014.
Australian Webber announced last week that he will bring an end to his Formula 1 career at the end of this season. Ever since the announcement, rumours have begun about who would replace him next season.
"We are in the fortunate position not to be short of choice. We'll take our time to make the right decision. Red Bull Racing is a world championship winning team and wants to put the best drivers in our cars," the Briton was quoted as saying on Formula1.com.
Horner confirmed the speculations that Red Bull's sister team Toro Rosso's drivers, Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne, and former world champion Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus are in the race for the seat.
"If one of the drivers can be of the junior team that will purely be based on merit. Both the juniors (Ricciardo and Vergne) are contenders, and also one or two drivers that are out of contract at the end of the year. There are a lot of drivers without contract at the end of the year but the reality is that it will boil down to three drivers: the two juniors and Kimi."
Asked about their chances this weekend at the German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, the 39-year-old said: "This is Sebastian's home race and it would be fantastic for him to win here. Mark won his first ever Grand Prix here in 2009, so we have good memories. Sebastian has a fantastic home crowd here - that should propel him and us. In the end, this race carries the same amount of points as any other weekend and we want to win them all."

Jesus Camp-
a very interesting look into an evangelical kids' summer camp. it was at times shocking, but most of all, it was eye opening. it had a political undertone that pulled it together nicely.
i hope im not offending anyone when i say that the kids at that evangelical camp were being brainwashed. i don't know many evangelicals, but if they're all like that....then god helps us, lol.
It is a must see. for example, (its a documentary) a guy gives one statistic that like, 25% (?) of america is evangelical (that sounds a little high, but i thought thats what is was) and if everyone of them voted, they could sway any election they wanted. cough* George Bush cough*
once you see their determination and spirit, you WILL be scared. personally, i was scared for the future of the country.

I saw that "The Pursuit of Happyness" was recommended highly on the previous page so I watched this movie as well.
In my opinion, this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Will Smith performs beautifully in this movie, even when it's not what he usually does. A very inspirational story with excellent characters, all I can say is wow. I think I'm about to buy the Blu-Ray version...
Rating: 9/10

In theaters it was "300"
this movie was awesome
to say that it wasn't means you lack balls and you should hand in your p3nis
maybe that was too harsh
and online was Hot Fuzz
movie was great nothing but humor all around a little slow in the beginning but makes up for it later on (hehe the Andes are funny)
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg are genius

It was pretty good. Not bad at all. Of course there will be another one coming. Not hard to figure that out. ^_^
