|What's The Corbett Sports Stadium Like?
It's a welcome return to Rhyl who last
were in the Welsh Premier League in
2009. Belle Vue is located in
the Southern suburbs of the town, around 10-15
minutes walk from the sea front and town centre.
Walking to the ground from the town centre along the
B5119 Grange Road the first thing you see on the
right hand side is a large white-washed wall in
front of a tarmaced car park, which forms the rear
of the Grange Road End. This wall bears the football
club name in bold black letters, reflecting the club
colours. The ground site itself
In 2013 the ground was renamed the
Corbett Sports Stadium in a corporate sponsorship
|Belle Vue's
seating capacity was expanded to allow the club to
play European fixtures,and is consequently one of
the largest in the Premier League. Space is limited
on three sides of the ground however there is scope
to rebuild the Grange Road End but we are not aware
of any future plans.
|External View
|Visiting Supporters
far as we are aware there is no segregation at Belle
Vue apart from local derbies and the rivalry
with Bangor City. In this case visiting fans are allocated the George James Stand which is accessible from turnstiles to the far left of the Grange Road end.
|George James Stand
|Where To Drink?
Club has its own bar at the ground called the
Legends Lounge Bar, which welcomes away fans on
matchdays. A
few minutes walk along Grange Road (in the
direction of the town centre) is the
Miillbank Inn, which is a Thwaites pub. In the town centre itself
on Sussex Street is a Wetherspoons pub. The
latter is listed in the CAMRA Good
Beer Guide. Othwerwise
there are plenty of pubs in the centre of
Rhyl which is about a ten minute walk

RopperShopper's recommendation
This is one of the coolest guitars ever. I believe this model was used by James Hetfield of Metallica. Great sound!
asdfjkl's recommendation
This guitar is an amazing gift for any guitar player. It has a 22 scale fret board and the body shape of the guitar makes it easy to reach those higher frets. The Gibson X-plorer has two double coil pickups, one at the neck and one at the bridge. Overall this guitar is great. :-) I'd toootally buy it.

In our current all-digital age, I am surprised by the number of seed catalogs I am finding in my mailbox. What a delight and, for me, so much fun to thumb through the pages, circling the must-haves and turning down the page corners for those still under thoughtful consideration.
The seduction of the dreams, however, must be tempered with some hard facts. Here in the Northwest, we do not have significant amounts of humidity compared to other parts of the country, for example. So when the description reads, "Heat and humidity just spur it to grow more," I need to pull my eyes away from the ever-so-charming picture and turn the page! There are so many spectacular offerings that it makes no sense to set oneself up for keen disappointments, right?
Gardeners simply cannot be that rational: We all love the challenge of the impossible.
Gardening for success
However, if you are encouraging young folk to get their hands dirty and work with you in the garden, then you want to have many grand successes. Over the years, as I have tried other catalog offerings, most of my grand successes have reliably come from the Territorial Seed Co. (www.territorialseed.com).
It is based in Cottage Grove, Ore., and for 40 years, it has been testing its products to make sure they are the best for the Northwest. Its pledge: "We do not buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and, ultimately, people and communities."
I have been working with its products for many years and have not experienced any failures. I am in awe of its extensive and ongoing work with ensuring that its seed offerings are not only enhancing our region but can be viably important for responsible agriculture and horticulture in many regions.
One year, however, I brazenly branched out and ordered all my seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (www.rareseeds.com), which is based in Mansfield, Mo. I think its dedication toward safeguarding the older seed varieties is of utmost importance these days. The genetic diversity that it is preserving will help save our food supply through all the challenges of industrial agriculture and climate change.
Regrettably, I had some disappointments, for a number of its products simply do not thrive here in the maritime Northwest region. Yet, I still want to support its work. So, now, I choose more carefully when ordering, and needless to say, the success rate has flourished, and I enjoy my active participation in the serious global need for genetic diversity.
A plethora of offerings
There are many, many seed companies that are actively engaged in saving heirloom seeds. Do your research and choose from their offerings. I am simply writing right now about the catalogs that have arrived in my mailbox, as opposed to writing about what I have found in searching the Internet.
There are so many seductions to be found inside these catalogs. They remind me of all the bulb catalogs dropped into my mailbox last summer and early fall.
I did manage to get all of my bulb orders planted before the end of the year. That was a new phenomenon! However, I am afraid that it has made me more audacious about my seed orders. I see trouble ahead….
The Cook's Garden catalog (www.cooksgarden.com), from Warminster, Penn., holds out such promise. However, I must adhere to my own advice: Are their offerings viable for our climate? Well, I quietly argue, surely any member of the pea family will be prolific in our mild maritime climate.
I really, really, really want to try its new offering, called 'Masterpiece.' Its wonderful prose promises me that that the pea greens will be available for harvest 24 days after planting. These pea greens offer the sweet taste of tender peas so early in the season. How can you not pass up that tempting and mouth-watering idea?
What fun to dream about our productive gardens as the winds howl and the rain pounds on our windows. As we watch our trees twist and turn during the storms and wonder whether our shrubs will withstand the cold, snow and other frosty seasonal offerings, I love to read my Forest Farm catalog (www.forestfarm.com), which specializes in "ornamental and useful plants from around the world."
This is a family-owned operation that is also celebrating its 40th year. Its base of operation is in Williams, Ore.
The garden's power
Read, investigate, dream and turn the corners down on the pages of interest. Our gardens are productive, but, also, we need to create within them the places to dream. Whether a tree or shrub produces a scent that reminds us of a lost love affair or creates a habitat that takes us back to our roots, it is important to fill our garden spaces with our hopes and yearnings.
In the introduction to her book, "In the Eye of the Garden," Mirabel Osler summarizes so eloquently the power of the garden. One of her remarkable sentences: "The mystical quality that a garden throws off is as powerful as the scent of flowers."
And another: "Our responses to the many forces of a garden are as varied and personal as the plants which grow in them."

Self paced online colleges are exactly what they sound like. You pace the classes yourself in self paced online college degrees. That means you don't have to drive to a campus at a scheduled time, and you won't be asked to work on group projects with other students at your school. The timeline for finishing self paced online degree programs is usually very lenient. So if you run into busy seasons — at home, or at work — you don't need to worry about exam dates or overdue assignments when you choose a self paced online college.
Why A Self Paced Online College Might be Right for You
Sounds great, right? In general, we think self paced accredited online colleges are really wonderful options. But procrastinators should beware of a self paced online college. Even courses through self paced online colleges won't wait forever. If you fall behind — going beyond the maximum time allowed for courses or semesters — you might have to pay an extension fee. Eventually, you might be dropped from a program at self paced online colleges for not making satisfactory progress.
But independent eLearners usually love their self paced online courses and programs. Those who do especially well are those who work can work unsupervised, remain motivated, and stay on task during self paced online degree programs.
Check out our List of Some Sponsored Self Paced Online Colleges:
Penn Foster College
Formerly known as Education Direct, Penn Foster College offers a number of associate degrees in areas such as Business, Marketing, Criminal Justice, Graphic Design and Internet Technology, to name just a few. It also offers several career diplomas in fields ranging from Accounting to Wildlife Conservation.
Students can make low, interest-free monthly payments. Though Penn Foster College boasts an online library, and makes some of its study material available through its student portal, it's actually a correspondence program. Students are mailed their textbooks along with their study materials prior to each course, which are taken one at a time. While the courses are self paced, students have up to two years to complete each semester with approved extensions, and degree programs must be completed within six years at this self paced online college. Students are required to find proctors for final exams and have them approved by Penn Foster College. Penn Foster College is accredited by the Distance Learning and Training Council (DETC).
Western Governors University
How would you like to study at a university which has no specific courses, program lengths, or grades? Students who study at Western Governors University are evaluated not by exams and credit hours earned, but by "competencies." After enrolling at WGU, the student process manager and mentor develop an Academic Action Plan. The plan could includes courses, study modules, selected texts, etc.
Students work through the plan at their own pace, and can work through it as quickly or as slowly as they wish. There are no predetermined program lengths. When the student, process manager and mentor determine the student is ready, the student undergoes an assessment process to test the knowledge acquired. There are no grades. The result of the assessment is either "pass" or "not pass." There are no credits awarded, but the student's progress is measured in "credit equivalency."
Tuition is charged per six month term: $2,790 for undergraduates and $3,250 for graduate students. Western Governors University offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Business, Education, Information Technology and Health Professions. As for accreditation, WGU is accredited by the DETC and four regional accrediting agencies. Its teacher education program also earned accreditation through the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
California Coast University
Accredited by the DETC since January 2005, California Coast University offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Business Administration, Management, Education and Psychology. CCU plans to begin offering doctoral degrees in the future.
Tuition rates are very affordable at $110 per unit for undergraduate courses, and $210 per unit for graduate courses. Each course is comprised of three units. Students may obtain credit for prior learning and transfer up to 93 semester units into CCU undergraduate programs. This may reduce the number of courses they need to take to complete their degree program.
Students are sent study guides for each course which are based on specific college textbooks, which students must purchase on their own, or they can rent them through CCU. Although courses are self paced, students must complete a minimum of two courses per year at this self paced online college The earliest they can receive a degree is nine months from the date of enrollment.
Charter Oak State College
Charter Oak State College is truly a self paced, distance learning institution. The school gives credit for many kinds of college-level learning, including military training, standardized exams such as CLEP and credit for life/work experience through portfolio assessment. COSC will accept up to 90 semester credits from regionally accredited two-year institutions.
The courses are semester-based and run 15 weeks (accelerated courses run between five and eight weeks). COSC only charges per credit hour for their courses, otherwise students pay matriculation fees which cover the cost of academic advisement, an evaluation of a student's transcripts and maintaining a student's new transcript for a year.
The annual fees for associate degrees range from $685 to $965 for non-residents of Connecticut. COSC is regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. There are numerous degree concentrations available and graduations occur every two months at this self paced online college.
University of Missouri-Columbia
The Center for Distance and Independent Study offered through the University of Missouri-Columbia offers a regionally accredited option for students seeking a self paced program.
The Center for Distance and Independent Study offers an online Bachelor of General Studies degree completion program. Unlike MU Direct, courses start at any time, and students have up to nine months to complete each course. However, students cannot complete courses in less than six weeks. Courses are $235.90 per credit hour. The University of Missouri-Columbia is regionally accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
California National University for Advanced Studies
California National University offers self paced online degree programs in Business Administration, Engineering, Computer Science, Quality Assurance Science and Human Resources Management. Students work on online courses and interact with instructors, but they work at their own pace. However, there is a 15-week limit on each course, and CNU recommends students take two courses during each 15 week trimester.
Students are also given the opportunity to select their own start and end dates for their courses, which are always on a Friday. Tuition for undergraduate courses is $270 per unit, and graduate courses are $300 per unit. CNU is accredited by the DETC.
Self Paced Online College Isn't For Everyone
While programs at self paced online colleges do offer the maximum flexibility and convenience, they can also be a double-edged sword. There are usually no instructors to ensure students are completing their course work in a timely manner when they enroll in a self paced online college.
If a student falls behind, going beyond the maximum time allowed for courses or semesters, they risk paying extension fees or being dropped from a program for not making satisfactory progress. Those who do especially well in self paced online degree programs are those who work can work unsupervised, can stay self-motivated, and stay on task during their study at a self paced online college.

The attack on former Rep. gabby Giffords made no difference.
gabby was still in therapy six days per week, Sunday through Friday, though Sunday consisted of only one hour of music therapy.
gabby had known Judge Roll for years, and Gabe was a cherished member of her staff.
gabby would never have the opportunity to meet Christina, Dorwan, Phyllis and Dorothy.
She calls gabby Giffords a hero, saying she was honored just to be in the same room with her at the Senate.
And gabby Pete bent low on his horse as a bullet whistled overhead.
"Goneril says it doesn't do us any good to go to church when we don't want to," said gabby.
For gabby's heartlessness would be a cruel medium through which to communicate the news.
Then gabby retired into the hominy and there was a silence if not a peace.
In the big fireplace they found a wood fire laid by the thoughtful gabby Pete, ready to be touched off in the morning.
Talkative; noisily garrulous; gossipy: They have spoken of any gabby party (1719+)

What is Wellbutrin and it's benefits, especially in the treatment of bipolar disorder?
First and foremost, Wellbutrin, (generic name bupropion), is NOT your typical antidepressant! It can be considered as a good "helping hands" medication if someone with bipolar disorder is
taking a mood stabilizer and exhibits mainly anti-manic signs.
Many prefer Wellbutrin medicine to a Selective Serotonin Reuptake
Inhibitor (SSRI) such as Zoloft or Prozac because Wellbutrin does NOT
cause sexual dysfunction or weight gain.
This is a huge issue with
consumers, who often stop taking their meds, even during serious
bipolar depression, because of not wanting to be fat and sexless.
Other benefits of Wellbutrin?
It is more than just a good
medication to take if one suffers from bipolar depression. We know from
clinical studies that Wellbutrin is as effective as an
antidepressant as Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil, and is more effective than
However, IN ADDITION, Wellbutrin medicine is effective in
helping compulsive gamblers who also have other bipolar disorder
Further, Wellbutrin is also marketed under the name of Zyban
and is used to help smokers kick the habit.
Wellbutrin is FDA approved for treating major depression but NOT for bipolar disorder.
Wellbutrin may also be effective in treating ADHD.
Wellbutrin for Anxiety?
On the downside, this medication does not appear to have any anti-anxiety effects. However, if a person happens to experience a major depressive episode along with anxiety, then Wellbutrin may be beneficial. Complicating this is another caveat – if it is given in higher doses, the anxiety may increase.
Lastly, another one of the benefits of Wellbutrin is that it is on the FDA approved list for treating Major Depressive Disorder as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). However please note it is NOT approved as a treatment for bipolar disorder and should not be used in preference to a "bipolar-specific" anti-depressant such as Lamictal.
Unlike so many other antidepressants, Wellbutrin does not induce fatigue but actually increases alertness and energy.
Get detailed information on Wellbutrin benefits from the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Many prefer Wellbutrin medicine to a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) such as Zoloft or Prozac because Wellbutrin does NOT cause sexual dysfunction or weight gain.
Treating Bipolar with Wellbutrin
As with many medications, there are pros and cons to treating bipolar with Wellbutrin.
Perhaps the most obvious benefits of Wellbutrin lie in its different side effect profile. There is something almost too good to be true about an antidepressant that can improve sex drive and assist weight loss!
Also positive is the general feeling that Wellbutrin does not cause as much manic switching as other antidepressants.
It has helped me profoundly during my own periods of bipolar depression. In particular, it has been the much needed "helping hand" that has pulled me out of a black hole several times now and made it possible to get out of bed, wash my hair, and go to work. Fortunately, this "boost" in motivation and energy was not accompanied by any mania.
Are there benefits of Wellbutrin in relation to the most typical comorbid bipolar conditions? For example anxiety, substance abuse, impulsivity, and obesity?
There is evidence that Wellbutrin medicine can help with social anxiety and generalized anxiety. However, it does not help against panic attacks and may even make them worse. (This is why I stopped taking taking Wellbutrin. For someone who does not have panic problems, Wellbutrin may still be a good option, especially in combination with an anticonvulsant mood stabilizer or with lithium.)
Substance abuse? One of the best known benefits of Wellbutrin is how it helps folks quit smoking cigarettes – and marijuana! It may increase sensitivity to alcohol – or it may not – the evidence is inconsistent.
Impulsive behavior? Wellbutrin has been shown to be helpful for compulsive gamblers. It should be kept mind though that Wellbutrin is a medicine with stimulant properties and there is not enough data at this time to understand how it may either fuel or control impulsivity.
Obesity? Wellbutrin has been trialled as a weight loss aid and is unusual in being an antidepressant that contributes to weight loss rather than weight gain. This is extremely important as people with bipolar disorder suffer from higher than normal rates of obesity and are up to 3 times more likely to die from related diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
Wellbutrin should not be taken by anyone who CANNOT afford to lose more than 5% of their body weight. It MUST NOT be used by anyone with anorexia or bulimia.
"Someone gave me some very good advice one time. Perhaps I have not been so good at following it. This was it: You are the one that is in charge of your own wellness. Go in to your appointment armed with research."
Note that Wellbutrin is FDA approved for treating major depressive disorder, NOT bipolar depression specifically. However, there is growing belief it is one of the antidepressants LEAST likely to cause a switch into mania.
"Newer "atypical" antidepressants work differently than other available drugs. Currently, none are approved by the FDA to treat bipolar depression. But some evidence suggests they may play a role in treating depression in bipolar disorder. Studies have shown that Wellbutrin is effective when added to lithium therapy. However, findings are still preliminary." (From WebMD)

Wellbutrin prescribing information
It is important to understand that Wellbutrin is an "atypical antidepressant". It is chemically distinct from other antidepressants. This means that no matter what previous experience you may have had with other antidepressants, for example if you have been on Prozac, or some other antidepressant, you MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT WELLBUTRIN SPECIFICALLY.
Wellbutrin is an norepinephrine-dopamine re-uptake inhibitor (NDRI). This means is increases the presence of the neurotransmitters/hormones norepinephrine and dopamine. These effect things like focus, motivation, and mood. This mechanism seems to reflect the main benefits of Wellbutrin. Other NDRI drugs include ADHD medications such as Adderall and Ritalin.
This stimulating quality makes it excellent for helping people to break free from debilitating depression, but can also cause problems such as agitation and sleep disruption which may be dangerous for folks with bipolar disorder.
It is essential to following dosing instructions precisely!
Also, you MUST tell your doctor about ALL your medication, alcohol drinking, recreational drug use and so on.
In the US, the FDA has approved the use of Wellbutrin in treating:
1. Major depressive disorder
2. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
The same medication, when labeled "Zyban" is approved as an aid to smoking cessation treatment.
SIDE EFFECTS: Include but not limited to: Changes in appetite; constipation; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; headache; increased sweating; nausea; nervousness; restlessness; taste changes; trouble sleeping; vomiting; weight changes.
CAUTIONS: Can induce seizures. MUST NEVER be taken by someone with a history of seizures or in dosages above the daily recommended dose.
In summary, it is worth trying if you suffer from bipolar depression, especially when used in conjunction with a mood stabilizer. However, it is not a good idea to experiment with Wellbutrin if you are already in an episode of bipolar mania.

Guttridge, 25, played 17 times for Orient but rejected a new contract.
Colchester boss Geraint Williams told BBC Essex: "He's a player I've been watching for a while. He's come via Cambridge and Southend.
"And I've always felt whenever we've come up against him he's caused us problems. He offers more competition for places in midfield which we need."
However, he left Brisbane Road this summer after rejecting Orient's offer of a new contract.

Five Steps for Buddhist Leaders Willing to Accept Mandela's Challege
"Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life. While poverty persists, there is no true freedom... Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom." - Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) When I … [Read more...]
Meet My Newest Writing Tool…
This bittersweet BBC piece reminded me that I haven't yet mentioned here my first foray into writing for the Buddhist Peace Fellowship's Turning Wheel Media (which I have long admired and appreciated). After a kind invitation from the brilliant and amazing Katie Loncke there, I gave her a piece that I've been working on for some time, which is about my newest writing implement: the Olympus SM3 portable typewriter (seen at left).A typewriter? In 2014? And what does a typewriter have to do … [Read more...]

My Five Favorite Dharma Books of 2013
Continuing the end-of-the-year lists for 2013, here are five of my favorite dharma books from 2013. (Unlike my list of five favorite films, I haven't ranked these — they're just listed alphabetically again this year just as they were last year.) Once again, I find that five is a hard number for trying to represent a broad spectrum of Buddhist traditions and perspectives -- for example, there's not really a title from the Theravada/Insight perspective this year (though both Mindfulness: A Practic … [Read more...]
My Five Favorite Films of 2013
Last year, I began a tradition at this blog of naming my favorite films of the year. (I say "favorites" because I think it's more honest; "bests" are pretty subjective most of the time, and yet seem to make claims to some kind of objectivity.) I'm a little behind the curve this year, but I present to you my list hoping that late is better than never... * * * 1. G-Dog, dir.

Timothy Duggan quite literally knows every inch of the USA Pro Challenge route.
A 30-year-old Boulder native, he learned to cycle on the mountain passes of Colorado. As a professional, he's gained a reputation as a hard-charging rider. Along with titles like the 2012 U.S. National Road Championship, he won the "Most Aggressive" jersey in the inaugural 2011 Pro Challenge. Last year, he raced for the U.S. in the London Olympics.
In January, he crashed and broke a leg in the Santos Tour Down Under. But he's been getting back to full-speed this summer, racing for Team Saxo-Tinkoff, which is led by Tour de France winner Alberto Contadour during the third annual USA Pro Challenge.
Duggan was racing with Saxo-Tinkoff in Europe all summer. He came back to his home in Nederland at the beginning of August to acclimate and start training for his home-state race.
"I've got a good couple weeks at home to soak up the altitude and get ready for the Pro Challenge," he said in a conversation with Time Out two weeks before race day in Aspen.
Andrew Travers: How did the recovery from your crash go?
Timothy Duggan: It sucked to tell you the truth. But it's not something I haven't been through before. I've been through it a few times. That's the name of the game when you're an elite athlete. You've got a lot of injuries and you've got to get back to100 percent. This time was no different, breaking my leg in January. It's been a long, difficult road, but now I'm at that plateau where you're getting those last few percentage points back. But at the highest level, that's all that matters is that top end. So things are coming along and going in the right direction, so that gives me confidence. But it never happens as fast as you want it to.
AT: A lot of us very amateur riders catch the fear after a crash and get overly cautious. As a pro, do you deal with that at all?
TD: Yeah, totally. I crashed coming into a roundabout. So I definitely might be taking an extra two-tenths of a second thinking about my line and my speed going into a roundabout. Of course you're aware of it when you have a traumatic experience like that. But you go through about 100 little corners [during a race] and they almost always work out. So it's no different.
AT: Growing up in Boulder and training out of Nederland, do you feel like you get a home team advantage in the USA Pro Challenge?
TD: For sure. This race being in my own backyard, I know every meter of the route. So it's certainly an advantage. It also helps getting some extra time at home, getting used to the altitude after being off in Europe. So I'm excited and prepared as best as I can be for this year.
AT: What's important for you to succeed in these first two days in Aspen — in the circuit race and the ride up Independence Pass to Breckenridge?
TD: It's key to do well those first two days in Aspen. You need to be on it. You need to be warmed up and ready to go. You can't take a day or two to ease into the race the way you can in some other stage races. I don't think the race is going to be won overall on the first stage in Aspen, but it can certainly be lost. If you have a bad day at altitude it can go backwards pretty quick. So it's going to be important to be all guns blazing in Aspen.
AT: After that what are some key points over the seven days of the Pro Challenge?
TD: The Vail time trial is going to be important, as well as the summit finish in Beaver Creek. That's going to be explosive. We're going to see some huge fireworks there. Other than that, all the stages are not super straight-forward - not necessarily a giant climb or a guaranteed sprint finish, but anything can happen given the weather we get in the afternoons in Colorado - the afternoons of cold and rain and snow, who knows what - so the terrain on all the stages allows for anything to happen.
AT: Who is the toughest competition this year? Are Froome and van Garderen the guys to beat? How does Team Saxo-Tinkoff match up?
TD: Chris and Richie [Porte, his teammate] and Team Sky, coming off a Tour de France win, they both have incredible form. So they're definitely going to be contenders, but it will depend on whether they let their guard down after the Tour and if they've adjusted to the altitude. It can go either way for a lot of contenders like that — everybody kind of takes a deep breath after the Tour de France and a lot of riders start coasting to the end of the season. You can also use momentum from the Tour de France to really have a strong end of season. So we'll probably see a little of both of that in the field. I think Tejay van Garderen is going to be hungry for a win here. He's spent a lot of time in Aspen — it's a home course for him almost as much as it is for me. His Tour de France didn't go as well as he wanted, so I know he's going to be hungry and ready to go. And my team, Saxo-Tinkoff, we're bringing Mike Rogers, who was road captain for Alberto Contadour on his Tour bid and been riding well all season. He got second in the Tour of California. It's a race that suits him and we'll be supporting him for sure.
AT: Why have Americans done so well in the Pro Challenge?
TD: You kind of see that everywhere. Any race, in any part of the world, the hometown hero always has an extra gear on everybody else. Just last week I was in the Tour of Poland and my teammate Rafa Majka, he's Polish, and he was absolutely flying. Being in your hometown with your friends and family out there definitely gives you an extra motivation. At the Pro Challenge, the crowd and enthusiasm on the side of the road blows away any race — other than the Tour de France and the Olympics — out of the water. There's just so much energy on the side of the road and you can really feed off of that.

Masonry Lintel
This program provides design analysis for concrete masonry lintels subject to vertical and lateral loads. Lintels can have fixed or pinned ends for most typical conditions, and the user can specify rebar sets within the depth of the lintel.
Vertical loads can be dead and live uniform and concentrated loads. You can have up to four loads of each type, and the uniform loads can be full or partial length.
The program provides analysis for both seismic and wind loads for each recalculation. You can specify seismic factors that apply to the lintel's weight and a wind load.
To allow the program to model different concrete block types, you can specify either lightweight or medium weight block, and additionally enter a lintel weight multiplication factor.
For both the vertical and lateral bending and shear directions, the program calculates allowable bending moments and shear stresses. Also, for both directions, actual moments and shears due to all entered loads are calculated. Final results consist of combined stress ratio calculations for all combinations or dead, live, seismic, and wind vertical and lateral moments and shears.
Basic Usage
|Enter Allowable Stresses And Stress Increase Factors. This program allows you to enter the f'm multiplier used to calculate Em, as well as whether special inspection is used or if live loads should be included with seismic or wind loads (we call them Short Term (ST) loads). The seismic factor multiplies the lintel weight and uses the result as the lateral load acting on the lintel (in the same direction as wind load).
|Enter Lintel Data. Clear span is the net opening width the lintel. Depth is the lintel's height, used for vertical bending resistance and weight calculations. Thickness should be entered as NOMINAL thickness. The program extracts wall weight and equivalent solid thickness from internal tables. Using the Fixity entry you can specify whether the lintel has fully fixed end or pinned ends (in both vertical and lateral directions).
|Enter Reinforcing Data. The program works on the concept that you will have pairs of rebars spaced vertically up and down the depth of the lintel. Only the top and bottom sets will be used for vertical bending capacity. Only the bars on one face from each bar set, placed at each face of the lintel, will be used to calculate lateral bending capacity. Please see the example of how the six entries are used correctly.
|Applied Loads allow you to place up to eight dead and live loads on the lintel. When entering Distributed Loads, you can specify a full length load by either leaving both X Left and X Right blank, or setting X-Right equal to the lintel span.
|Review the SUMMARY tab for overstress cases (which will be flagged as No Good). The most important values in this section are the six values listed in the upper right corner under the word combined.
|NOTE! Please be aware that the Load Duration Factor is applied to allowable values, so all stress ratios must be less than 1.0 for a satisfactory design.
|When satisfied, you can Print or Save the data for the current calculation, Reset the calcsheet, or use the Access Menu to choose another program.
Unique Features
|This program calculates all vertical and lateral moments and shears and combines them for all possible stress ratios. This is a very thorough evaluation of combined stresses for seismic and wind design.
|Allowance is made for you to modify the material weight, selectively omit live load from seismic or wind loadings, and models both fix-fix and pin-pin end fixity conditions.
Assumptions & Limitations
When the lintel's fixity is set to Fixed both vertical and lateral bending are considered fixed.
The data entry for this example is shown in the screen captures that accompany the Data Entry Tabs and Results & Graphics Tabs sections to follow.
Data Entry Tabs
This set of tabs provides entries for all input in this calculation. While you are entering data and switching between these tabs you can view the desired resulting information on the tabs on the right-hand side of the screen (calculated values, sketches, diagrams, etc.). A recalculation is performed after any entry data is changed. After each data entry you can view the results on the right-hand set of tabs.
General Tab
Clear Span
Span length of the lintel used for all bending and shear stress calculations.
Lintel Depth
Total depth (or height) of the lintel.
NOMINAL thickness of the lintel.
This controls how moments and shears are calculated, by specifying whether the beam is fixed at each end or pinned at each end.
Special Inspection
Enter Y is special inspection will be used during the lintel's construction. A No entry here will reduce all allowable stresses by ½.
Seismic Factor
This value will be applied directly to the lintel weight to generate the lateral seismic load acting on the lintel.
Allowable steel yield strength. Typically, enter 24,000 for Grade 60 rebar, 20,000 for Grade 40.
Basic masonry strength, psi.
Em = f' * (entry)
This value will be multiplied by f'm to calculate Em. This value varies between code, and is typically 75 or 1,000.
Weight Multiplier
This multiplier can be used to further factor up or down the unit weight of the lintel. The lintel weight is retrieved from internal tables using your specification of nominal wall thickness and block type. THE LINTEL IS CONSIDERED FULLY GROUTED.
Block Type
This entry controls what block type is being used for determining the wall weight to be recalled from the internal tables. Select Lightweight, Medium Weight, or Normal Weight.
Duration Factor
This factor will be applied to all allowable stress values when short term seismic or wind loads are included in that combination.
Rebar Tab
Rebar Size
Enter the rebar size used for all longitudinal bar sets to be used in the lintel.
# Bars E/F@ Location
Enter the number of rebars at each face of the wall for each bar set. In the example problem, only one #6 was used on each face for all three bar sets.
Clearance @ Top & Bottom
Distance from the top and bottom of the lintel respectively to the center of area of the bar set. These distances will be used as d for vertical bending strength calculations.
# Bar Sets Vertically
Enter the number of bar sets in the lintel.
Spacing Between Bars
This is the clear distance between the bars on each face in a bar set. IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE BARS ARE CENTERED ALONG THE LINTEL VERTICAL CENTERLINE. d used for lateral bending strength calculations is calculated as: Spacing Btwn Bars + (Actual Thickness - Spacing Btwn Bars) / 2
Loads Tab
Wind Load
Wind load applied to the projected surface of the lintel (Span * Depth).
Point Loads & Distance
You may use this entry to apply up to four concentrated dead and live loads to the lintel. Distance refers to the distance from the left end of the lintel to the location of the load.
Distributed Loads
You may use this entry to apply up to four full or partial length uniform dead and live loads to the lintel.
X Left
Distance from the left end of the lintel to the start of the load. Use 0" for full length loads, or partial length loads that begin at the left support.
X Right
Distance from the left end of the lintel to the end of the load. For full length loads, you can enter 0" or the span length here.
Results & Graphics Tabs
This set of tabs provides the calculated values resulting from your input on the "Data Entry Tabs". Because a recalculation is performed with each data entry, the information on these tabs always reflects the accurate and current results, problem sketch, or stress/deflection diagram.
Results / Summary Tab
This area summarizes all the combined stresses, actual moments and shears, and allowable moments and shears. The Combined values for Moment and shear are the ratio of actual/allowable value. The Combined values in the upper right corner combine both lateral and vertical load stress ratios for shear and bending components, and these values should all be less than 1.0" for a satisfactory design. (The Load Duration Factor" was already applied to the allowable stresses).
Results / Moments & Shears Tab
Results / Design Values Tab
Sketch Tab
This tab provides a sketch of the beam with loads and resulting values shown. Using the [Print Sketch] button will print the sketch in large scale on a single sheet of paper.
Printing Tab
This tab allows you to control which areas of the calculation to print. Checking a box will signal that the information described by the item will be printed. However, if there is no information in for a particular selection it will not be printed. So these checkboxes are best described as "If this particular area of the calculations contains data then print it".

Ottawa, Canada (SPX) May 31, 2012
Northrop Grumman and L-3 MAS announced plans to join forces on a variant of the Northrop Grumman-produced Global Hawk high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) unmanned aircraft system (UAS) for Canada to maintain continuous surveillance of its Arctic territories.
Dubbed "Polar Hawk," the system will be designed to stay aloft for long periods of time in harsh weather conditions over vast expanses of the Earth's surface monitoring land, ice, littoral and open water environments throughout the Arctic.
"Northrop Grumman and L-3 MAS are combining our formidable strengths to provide a surveillance system to meet requirements defined in the Canada First Defence Strategy," said Duke Dufresne, vice president and general manager for Northrop Grumman's unmanned systems business.
"Polar Hawk's TM operational features are uniquely suited to augment Canada's existing surveillance capabilities and extend its reach to patrol large geographical areas, keeping constant vigil over the nation's vast Arctic region from coast-to-coast in a single mission."
"L-3 MAS's expertise in the management and maintenance of large fleets of manned aircraft, its strong heritage in UAS development and state of the art in-service support solutions are a natural fit with Northrop Grumman's global leadership in the design, development, production, operational support and sustainment of unmanned aircraft systems for customers worldwide," said Jacques Comtois, vice president and general manager of L-3 MAS.
"Together L-3 MAS and Northrop Grumman have assembled a strong Canadian industrial team to develop a very robust, long-term and affordable turnkey solution for Canada's current and future domestic sovereignty and security concerns over its Arctic territories."
Flying at 60,000 feet, well above challenging weather and all commercial air traffic, Polar Hawk can range over 22,000 kilometres and stay airborne for more than 33 hours, day or night in all weather conditions.
In addition to its surveillance payloads, Polar Hawk has the power to support and can be equipped with a wide range of instrumentation for conducting science and environmental missions, as demonstrated by NASA using earlier versions of the Global Hawk UAS as far as 85 degrees north latitude.
It can also be deployed to support humanitarian missions and provide surveillance over Canada's vast territory stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific territorial waters and coasts.

Go somewhere else!
Dr. Bortel misdiagnosed my broken foot. I asked to have a CT Scan done, but he said it wasn't necessary because the results wouldn't show anything different than his diagnosis. WRONG!!! Now it's healed incorrectly and I deal with pain every day. Go somewhere else!

Knee pain
Worst doctor ever! Went in for a knee scope. Symptoms were that I had pain intermittently when running (30 miles per week). Since Bortel worked on me, I have pain every day! (3+ years). Now looking like a complete knee replacement at 45!!! Have been told by other surgeons that it was poor work and by operating room staff that he is the worst to work with as he talks down to most people in the OR. I have been crippled by this man and hope to help someone else to not have the same experience as I did. Avoid him at all cost! There are many other options in the area.

Avoid at all costs! Visited Dr. Bortel as I was experiencing pain in knee when I was RUNNING. He did not order an MRI rather just told me he'd like to scope it to "look around". When I awoke in recovery the nurse told me that the good Dr. had removed the meniscus in my knee as well as a few other things. At no time was this discussed, nor was I ever given the opportunity to discuss any options. Since this time (5 years) I have pain DAILY and have never run again. I have endured many synvisc series and have to take Ibuprofen daily. Dr. Bortel would never admit there was any other option for me or that he may have made a poor decision. He is very arrogant. I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT YOU AVOID THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS!!

stay clear
The first visit was dreadful. The front office staff yelled and was very rude because we were not 1/2 hour early. Was never informed to be 1/2 hour early so showed up 10 minutes early. Because of this we had to reschedule which was almost a month later. The second visit was worse then the first. The front staff seamed nicer but then Borte, himself was even more rude than the staff. He told us that we were stupid because one of the test results was not in the file. He said the could not help us because we were incompetent because we did not know what was in his file and then he argued we us about a treatment that my husband did not have. We left his office very up set worse then the first visit. Then my family doctor tells us that he refuses to see or treat my husband any more. that is fine we were not going to go back there any more. Why would we want to be called stupid any more. Then I find out that 2 other doctors will not see my husband now. Is that because of him, I wonder or are they just booked up. If he is making it to where other doctors will not see my husband then he really has a problem. He is not a good doctor at all. His clothes and hair are a mess, looks and acts unprofessional with patients. I have never been treated so badly and unprofessional by a doctor and doctors office in my life. Should have his license pulled from him. Would not take a sick and dying animal to him I have more respect for animals. Stay clear and very far far away from this guy if you have any respect for your self because he sure has no respect for any one that goes to see him.

Doesn't listen
If you are looking for a doctor to handle a chronic problem, he is not the one. May be he is good with obvious things like broken bones. He went just by my x-rays and did not listen to me at all. He basically said I had to live with it and I was doing everything I could already. If I was doing everything I would not be in his office. He conviently takes x-rays before talking to patients. Very convienent because now I paid for useless x-rays and he still gets his pay check.

Minnesota House Higher Education Finance and Policy Committee Chairman Gene Pelowski called the University of Minnesota's $2.5 million buyout of men's basketball coach Tubby Smith "obscene" in an interview on Tuesday.
"I don't think the university has grasped the public reaction to all of this, that it hurts the university not just as an athletic endeavor, it hurts its reputation period," the Winona Democrat said.
News of Smith's buyout comes as the university is seeking millions of dollars in additional state funding. Pelowski said this latest revelation does not help those efforts. He said his committee will likely discuss the matter, but the Legislature has limited control over the university's spending.
"Can we look into it? We can. We are very limited to what we can do about it. I would hope that the university would take it on its own responsibility to clean its House and refocus those resources into something much more productive," he said.
The DFL-led Legislature is expected to boost funding for higher education this year. The House budget calls for an additional $150 million above forecasted spending and the Senate's plan allocates an extra $250 million. Pelowski wants those dollars to be used to hold tuition flat after years of increases. He is also working on legislation aimed at requiring the state's colleges and universities to provide more detailed reports to lawmakers of how the additional dollars they get are spent and the results of those investments.

Ranchi, Aug. 31: Former Chatra MP and the first Speaker of Jharkhand Assembly, Inder Singh Namdhari, today invoked literary analogy to describe the brevity of his acquaintance with faith crime suspect Ranjit Singh Kohli, alias Rakibul Hassan, the husband of national-level shooter Tara Shahdeo.
Namdhari, whom Kohli had called like a guardian in his statement to Ranchi police, attended the marriage ceremony of Kohli and Tara in the state capital on July 7. The former Speaker had apparently taken Kohlis help to secure the release of close aide Praveen Chandra Pathak, convicted in a murder case, on parole.
But today, Namdhari made short of the alleged links with a long literary anecdote.
When Punjabi writer Amrita Pritam asked for a good title for her autobiography from Khushwant Singh, the renowned author had smiled and said: Amrita your biography can be written on the back of a stamp. Pritam was so inspired that she picked Rashidi Ticket as the title of her autobiography. My association with Kohli is so short that you can write it on the back of a stamp, he told mediapersons at a news conference in Ranchi.
However, the former Independent parliamentarian nearly lost his cool when newsmen flooded him with queries.
A visibly upset Namdhari alleged that a section of the media had been running a false story to tarnish his image. The BJP, he added, was also spreading rumours against him.
Rubbishing allegations, levelled against him, Namdhari claimed my friend Ambika Dutt Pandey had last year introduced Kohli to him as a sober and intelligent man. Kohli was Pandeys tenant. Later, Kohli requested meetings with him on a number of occasions during formers visit to Palamau and Delhi.
Kohli appeared to be a decent man. Last year, some local leaders apprised me of poor condition of the family of the jailed Praveen. His daughter was ill. I requested Kohli to help Praveen. He had arranged good lawyers who helped Praveen get three months parole, the veteran politician explained.
Namdhari said he had felt an obligation towards Kohli and hence attended his wedding. That does not mean that there was any nexus between Kohli and me or that I knew about his dubious activities. I knew him as a Sikh, he said.
Namdhari said he was shocked to know that Kohli had physically assaulted his wife and had forced her to embrace Islam. After media reports on Tara-Kohli episode came out, I met Tara. I am hurt that some vested interests are levelling baseless allegations against me, he said.

LOS ANGELES—Web babe Taylor Stevens caused quite a stir last night at the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals between the New Jersey Devils and the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center.
Seated directly behind Devils coach Peter DeBoer, Stevens, the blonde, buxom performer, became a trending topic on Twitter when her ample cleavage was on display during a close-up shot of the coach. In one clip, you can see DeBoer's eyes widen as he sneaks a peak at Stevens' gigantic mammaries.
"Yup those are my #boobies against the glass #StanleyCupFinals #kings yaay if u see me on tv lemme know," Stevens tweeted last night.
Canadian sportscaster Paul Bissonnette credited Stevens with giving CBC "it's biggest viewing audience in network history and half the people didn't even notice the game."
Sports blogs Deadspin, Busted Coverage, Guyism and Yahoo's Puck Daddy all commented on Steven' giant rack being the star of the broadcast.
A Toronto native, Stevens' tweet blew up the Twitterverse and made her name and the hashtag "BoobsBehindDeBoer trending topics.
"I didn't [know the tweet blew up]," Stevens told Toronto's TSN 1050 radio. "I don't know if people really know but at those types of games it's really hard to get Wi-Fi. I had a friend of mine text me to say, 'I just saw you!' and I was like, 'that's cool.' I really had no idea until I had gone out, got a few emails and then after the game it just blew up."
Check out the video of DeBoer perving on Stevens here.
The Kings had the opportunity to sweep the Devils and win the Stanley Cup last night, but lost 3-1. Game 5 is Saturday night at New Jersey.

When my father died last month my 84-year-old mother and I successfully changed bank accounts, car, council tax and pensions to her name and we found incredible support and understanding from everyone we contacted. With one glaring exception: Santander.
Following its online advice that changing a joint account to a single account was simply a matter of going into a branch with the death certificate, cheque book and cards, my mother approached a branch in Perth. She returned with an extremely complicated six-page form.
Only after much struggling to make sense of it did we discover it was the wrong form. We visited another branch and were told an appointment would be necessary – and she would have to wait a week for the next available one. A week later, after waiting for over 30 minutes, she decided to leave and was very upset. She wrote to Santander's customer service centre saying that she had no intention of visiting a branch again and asking them to contact her. She has had no reply, except for a letter repeating the same misinformation that she was told in the branch.
I rang a manager who told me to call the probate and bereavement number, but there was no one there who would speak to me – I live 60 miles from my mother so couldn't pass the phone to her for authorisation. PD, Lenzie, Glasgow
A Santander spokesperson immediately apologised for the Kafka-esque bureaucratic nightmare your mother was forced to endure, stating: "We are very sorry for the upset and inconvenience PD and her mother experienced. We are pleased to confirm that the joint account her mother held with her late husband has now been transferred to her sole name. In recognition of the disappointing service she experienced, we have sent her a hamper, which she has accepted with our best wishes. We have also sent PD a £100 donation for Amnesty International."
We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at email@example.com or write to Brignall & King, Money, the Guardian, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU. Please include a daytime phone number

Mostly Heard Rarely Seen | Spring Summer 2016
Mostly Heard Rarely Seen (MHRS) is a high-street fashion label designed by Thomas "Tomakira" Li. Originally born in Hong Kong and raised in Japan, Tomakira has developed his own unique style of Eastern-inspired street fashion, a reflection of the youth and art cultures that thrive in Tokyo and Hong Kong.
The collection is highly detailed and focusses in design, quality and innovation. Throughout the collection there is an emphasis on being "rarely seen" and the brand's visuals often entail the concept of covering one's face with items such as face masks, hats and sunglasses. The anonymity of covering one's face is where the designer draws his inspiration from and much of the design is rooted in not seeing, but hearing and touching. Thus, the design and aesthetic of the collection include the use of innovative appliques and various textures in the form of fabrication and finishing.
MHRS is not simply a clothing brand, but a cultural movement. A brand that garners the attitude and energy of the rebellious youth and promotes the concept of being different through the creative freedom of thought and style.

Instead, it appears to be aimed simply at terrifying Americans, driving them out of the Middle East and destabilizing U.S. allies there.
Photos posted on a militant Islamic Web site Friday showed grisly scenes of the beheading of American technician Paul Johnson in Saudi Arabia by al-Qaeda militants, who referred to him as a non-Muslim "infidel." That followed the videotaped beheading of American businessman Nick Berg by al-Qaeda militants in Iraq in May. Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was photographed being beheaded by his captors in Pakistan in 2002.
According to some Muslim religious leaders and other experts, the Koran and Islamic law state that murderers, not innocents, can be sentenced to death, but only after a proper trial including testimony from valid witnesses. And the Koran doesn't specify the means of execution. During the early days of Islam — the seventh century — the most effective execution was death by the sword.
"But beheadings are not mentioned in the Koran at all," says Imam Mohamad Adam El-Sheikh, co-founder and chief cleric at the Dar Al Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Va. "According to Islamic penal law, killers will be sentenced to death, but the means of execution are not mentioned."
Much of what the Koran has to say on the subject is open to interpretation, he says. The most direct reference to capital punishment is Chapter 7, verse 48, which starts with a call for retribution similar to the Old Testament verse of "eye for an eye."
But it later urges that the "pain of the sentence be less than the pain inflicted by the murderer upon his victim," El-Sheikh says. He adds the section strongly implies that mercy will be granted to merciful prosecutors and judges if and when they face their own day of judgment.
"Whoever did this, we don't condone this," he says. "They are not following Islam. They are following their own whims." El-Sheikh says the beheadings "could be the best means of propaganda available to them to force Americans to leave the country. They want to provoke international opinion with the intention of scaring people."
"It's a political, psychological ploy to show the enemy is merciless, vengeful and will stop at nothing," Richard Murphy, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, told the Associated Press last week. Militants know "what will cause maximum shock in the Western public and particularly the American public."
There may be no specific reference to beheadings in the Koran, but along with amputations, they have been common practice across the Arab world, and particularly in Saudi Arabia.
By human rights group estimates, Saudi officials have held hundreds of public executions over the past decade, most of them beheadings. Although the tide of opinion among Saudi judges and other authorities may be shifting away from this method, it has been employed as a sentence for murder, rape, drug smuggling and armed robbery. Women, youngsters and foreigners aren't exempt, according to Human Rights Watch.

RICHMOND, Va. — Seth Numrich can't quite get a straight answer. In character as Ben Tallmadge, the leader of a group of Revolutionary War spies known as the Culper Ring and a central character in the new AMC drama "Turn," he is interrogating a ragged-looking background player whose toes have been painted black to mimic frostbite.
The unfortunate man is a scout who has failed to relay crucial information to Tallmadge and fellow spy Caleb Brewster (Daniel Henshall), who are working on behalf of Gen. George Washington, and his explanation for the botched mission is suspicious at best: He claims he fell in the river because he was blinded by fog.
"It's very difficult to gather intelligence when we possess so little of it," says a frustrated Tallmadge, exiting a makeshift hospital tent that appears situated in a dense thicket of woods but is actually inside a giant converted warehouse.
The space is so vast that crew members bike among the many sets, which include a two-story barn with a dirt floor and Colonial-style living quarters with working fireplaces. In a nice twist, the warehouse once housed an IRS facility.
"God knows what happened here, what was repossessed," jokes Barry Josephson, "Turn's" amiable executive producer.
Premiering Sunday, "Turn" focuses on a conflict in American history that continues to reverberate politically but has failed to captivate the popular imagination in the same way as the Civil War or World War II.
It also arrives at a moment of transition for AMC. After the end of "Breaking Bad" and with "Mad Men" entering its final season, the question now is whether the network can maintain its reputation for top-notch, culture-shifting drama.

Say What! — Raekwon Talks About his Emotions + More
Raekwon discussed the beef that almost split up the Wu-Tang Clan, saying, "When you look at us, you look at that typical gang crew. We a cult within ourselves. Just because it's 10 n—-s here, it's really 100. We look at ourselves as a force of 100. We gon' go through that because that's what brothers do; they gon' argue, they gon' fuss, fight, whatever. But at the end of the day, it ain't enough to be caught up with emotions because emotions is for b—–s." So true. [HipHopWired]
You know who's got an album coming out? Heidi Montag, that's who. She talked with MTV about her new album, and one song, in particular, which we're hoping to avoid. "This song is about how everybody just calls me superficial and says that I'm a b—- and only about fashion and everything, and they don't know." Yeah, they don't know that you're also into valet parking, bottle service and tanning. Cause you're deep. [MTV]
Death Cab for Cutie talked about contributing to 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' soundtrack and how awesome all things 'Twilight' are. "I love it. I was at the premiere two nights ago and it was great. The movie is awesome," said singer Chris Walla. "There are a lot of shirtless dudes…When the shirtless-dude factor happens, it seems a little wink-wink, nudge-nudge. But it's a high beefcake quotient – an HBQ." Hmm. What about the HDBQ? Hint- the B stands for "bag." [MTV]

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
We liked the variety with the free breakfast in the mornings. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. We were treated badly by the manager because one of her employees said we could pay the pet fee and bring in our small bird. The manager called my father two days later and said we were not allowed to have a bird and now the carpets had to be shampooed. We were also accused of not paying our hotel bill, which was a lie. When I talked to her later, she didn't seem to have a problem with the bill, just that we had a bird in the room. We were only there for three days and she made it a very stressful last third day. We will not recommend this hotel to other people. The two businesses that had recommended this hotel will not do so in the future because of how we were treated.
Very good deal for the money.
This place is trying to be updated, freshened up here and there. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very cheap quality. Walls are paper thin, you can hear peoples full conversation in room next door, and people above you is ridiculous.
The full breakfast...pool. comfy bed. The hot tub was filthy and cold. The dining room too tiny to accommodate many people. ..took 40 mins for a waffle because they only have one machine and there was a line or people making 10 at a time. Pool hours should be longer...website false advertised 24 hour pool when only opened 0700-2300
It was clean, was not dumpy, the staff was friendly, and single night visitors got breakfast
Well, to be perfectly honest, the reviews I read after I made the reservation and before I arrived were scary. I really didn't know what to expect, but went anyway. What I found surprised me. Understand, it IS a budget motel, so you see the plumbing under the sinks and there are no phones in the rooms, but who doesn't have a cell phone anymore. The staff, Megan was wonderful, the room had a microwave, coffee maker and fridge. The bathroom area had a hairdryer and the room was cleaned and made up everyday. The experience I had was nothing like the other reviewers. I'll stay there again. There was no pool so it wouldn't be good for families that are intending to stay put on the property. However, that having been said, it's Coeur D'Alene, why would you stay on the property. There was a slight problem with parking but nothing that wasn't manageable. All in All, I'll stay there agin.
The price, cleanliness, personal, friendly.
Nice facility with friendly staff and breakfast. Pleasant 20 minute walk to the lake. We would definitely come back.
Very Clean. We were there to explore, we weren't there for a fancy hotel. This did it! It was VERY clean. People were friendly, lots of space. Again Clean, for allowing pets I was shocked. Bed was comfy, pillows were soft. Nice appearence inside and out, close to everything. I would HIGHLY suggest staying it, especially at this price. Honestly I didn't smell smoke and they wouldn't allow it. My fiance and I came, but will return with your kids. :)
This is a great value hotel! It is for the most part simple, but our room was comfortable and clean. The TV was really nice. Nothing fancy but a great value for what you pay when you are looking for a place to get a good night's sleep. The heating/cooling system worked fine, but it did have a bit of a smell when we turned it on.
Awesome budget friendly place to crash. Super friendly staff. Clean and comfortable.
Hotel staff in housekeeping were friendly and very accommodating. Did not put bags in trash cans. Laid them on the side of the can. Not a good closet space. Hangers were poor, dropping items of clothing. Difficult location. No body lotion or shower cap.
Easy to find Hard bed, small bathroom, small continental breakfast seating.
The bed was comfortable. Out dated and not enough towels.
The bed was comfortable and TV was newer. Big refrigerator. Clean. The water pressure was weak. Not all the channels had good reception. The fixtures were all pretty dated.
Booked through Kayak. Get to hotel and there was no reservation and no rooms. Still no refund
This was our second time staying at the Super8 and I will always come back when visiting. It's always clean, staff is always friendly, and it's quiet.
I was skeptical because of reviews from previous guests but it turned out to be great! The cost was low and definitely worth it! Clean and great staff
Most of the staff was pleasant. Our experience started off bad and just kept going down hill. First they charged us twice for all three of our rooms and that left us with no money in our accoubt the entire weekend we were there. Then our daughters room had not been vacuumed and there were toenails and sunflower seeds all over the floor. Then the breakfast food was cold (should have been hot) a few more things came up as well. They promised us a discount but instead recharged us. We are now waiting for a refund and it has been a week.
Simple, clean, great location Everything was great
Staff Nothing
The hotel was easy to find and in a quiet neighborhood. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, simply furnished, comfortable, and had everything we expect from a nice hotel. Breakfast is made to order fresh (appropriate portion sizes, not over-sized). We will stay again.
I was aprehensive at first, took a chance on a non chain hotel and I'm not disapointed. Trust the reviews, they are pretty accurate. We found the room very clean, roomy and fairly modern. Don't let the photos of the exterior fool you. I've paid a lot more for a room and had a lot less. Plenty of hot water and pressure in shower. Bed linen very nice, loved the pillows. Staff certainly went the extra mile. Lots of little extra touches in the room. No noise from neighbors or street. Good value for the area. Lobby area and designated area clean and nicely decorated. We'd stay again. Free breakfast was just okay. Maybe the two egg breakfast with sausage is not the best choice. Service and presentation was nice. Bed was a little firm for my liking, however my husband loved it. There was a slight odor to the room when we first entered which we quickly got used to. TV screen is curved, but certainly watchable with plenty of channels.
No microwave. Other than that; quick, clean, inexpensive, and great.
With the motel6's that have been updated they seem to always be nice, friendly staff, they allow dogs Shower head way to low And doesn't sound like they allow pitbulls
Not all rooms have fridges and microwaves.
Got there a little early for check-in and the rooms weren't ready. Went to have an early dinner and returned an hour after check-in time, received the keys to the rooms, but when we got to them, the hadn't been cleaned yet! It seemed like a busy weekend for the motel, but it was frustrating because we had wanted to change and be on the road to our evening destination.
I was given the option of 2 rooms. I was fortunate the clerk was able to change my stay status from 2 adults to 1 adult with 2 kids and saved me $30! It's location is right off the freeway and behind a biker bar! Lots and lots of cigarette smoke!
The hot tub The hot tub it's out dated, the shower was discusting and had rust in it, there was cracks and nasty wear between the wall and the bath tub
Great view of Coeur d'Alene lake Bed stand light randomly flicked, rust in the shower and faucet and curtain rod, mirror next to bed had nasty crusty white stuff on it, tv was ancient and turned off when you tried to change the channel, and excessive condensation from the fridge, dead bolt lock didn't line up probably with the holes in the door jam. Would not recommended this hotel to anyone even if I hated them.
