Open Mic: Ezra Lusk
Wednesday, November 28, 2012 | 11:00 AMYogi! One of the flat-out fastest riders of his generation, Georgia's Ezra Lusk signed a factory Suzuki deal as an amateur, than burst onto the professional racing scene in 1992. Over his twelve years of racing, Lusk delivered over 15 wins at the highest level, as well a 1994 125 East Supercross Championship. More than the stats, though, Lusk is remembered for how he raced. His speed and aggression carried him to wins against the likes of Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael and Chad Reed, no easy feat. Lusk retired at the end of the 2004 season and pretty much disappeared until 2009, when he made a brief comeback for the U.S. Open, and showed the world he still had some speed. But after that one-race comeback, Lusk went back into retirement. Occasionally, you'll see him in the background at the races, helping Davi Millsaps. To get in-depth with Ezra post-career, we gave him a call.
Racer X: Ezra, hey what's going on?
Ezra Lusk: Right now, this very minute? I am standing here at Milestone at the new Rockstar Supercross track watching guys test.
What are you doing at Milestone? I thought you were retired?
I am! But, about two years ago, I started helping out Davi Millsaps on a pretty low key level. I was just being a little bit of a mentor and trying to guide him through some of the challenges that these racers face. I was drawing on the things that I did and learned when I was racing, and things that I wish I had known more about.
That's cool. So would you say you are coaching him?
Well, yes and no. It all started a few years back, and with Brock Sellards. Sellards was still racing arenacross back then and he would come and stay with me and train. Davi lived right around the corner, and we used to go over and ride with him. I started talking with him and helping out, and we've been working together for two years now in an official capacity. So, right now, we are out in California, and he is here for testing. His Rockstar team has just built a private test track here at Milestone, and we are just working on the bike. But as it goes, I never really got back into the whole racing scene after I quit. You know, the traveling and all that. I would much rather not travel so much, but I wanted to try and help him make some good decisions and make the most of his career while he still can. A lot of the things he went through, I went through. I had that soft feeling in my heart for him and some of the stuff he was working through. I wanted to see if things could end up differently for him.

This interview is more about you, but how are things going for Davi? I know it's early on, but can you give us an idea of how he is doing with the new bike?
Well, it's not really my place to say, but I think it is going well from what I can see. They [the team] are only working with one 450 guy, and thus they are devoting their full attention to him, and I think that will be really good as far getting the bike to its full potential. The biggest thing is the riding, trying to get him to consider himself a contender. Going into this season is really his best chance. With this new Rockstar effort and the Suzuki, we are really excited. We can start out fresh, and everything is centered around him. There's lots of work to do, but the guys are coming out swinging.
I think Troy Adamitis' series The Moto: Inside the Outdoors has really put a spotlight on some of the issues and challenges that these riders can face, which often come down to family and financial issues. Have you seen the shows, and what is your take on it, having been through some of these things yourself?
I have not seen the shows yet, but I have heard about them. It's really not my place to say anything about Davi specifically. But I will say this - every racer at some point or another has a big challenge going from amateur to pro, and then if they make it, the challenge of trying to balance out the family, then finding a girlfriend, getting married, and having kids. It can be really, really hard to separate the family from racing, all the while trying to find that balance - and then getting the results, which is most important. It's already a bummer enough about how harsh this sport is.
As for me, I have always been honest about things. My situation was comparable to some of those stories, but not all of them. I think it's kind of bad, frankly. It casts a sour taste about turning pro and all of that. But I also should note – and you can't forget it - it is television, and the goal of the show is to get people to watch it. For me, going and getting involved in tennis was similar. I had idols that I saw on the tennis channel, and eventually played adult league tennis, it was low level compared to pro stuff, but I took it seriously. If kids today can see the show, bad or good, then it's good either way. You can live and learn from my mistakes - or Josh Grant's, or Davi's or any other professional athlete.
Getting back to you, whats happening your life outside your gig with Davi?
Well, everything is good! I retired in 2004 after my brother got hurt really badly. When I stopped racing back then, I never really made a clear "that's the end" statement in my head, but after spending a year helping to get [my brother] back in shape, I just never really got back into it. I really didn't do much for year, just hung out with my brother trying to get him better and hitting the gym with him down in Georgia. I then started playing a lot of tennis and really just moved away from the racing. At that time, 2006 or so, Brock Sellards was still racing, and he would come down to my place and we would still ride a lot, but it was just for fun for me. But for the most part, I was just playing tennis and my interest went other places.
Lusk was the 1994 125 East Supercross Champion.

How is your brother Shane doing now and what is he up to?
Oh, thanks for asking. He is doing really good. He is actually walking around, and doing well. He just started school at Nova down in Jacksonville, where he is finishing up to become a physician's assistant. He really has it going on, and I think he got the brains of the family. He also got his bachelor's degree in public health and a master's in biological science.
What was the state of his injury?
He is considered a quadriplegic. But he has recovered pretty well. He walks with one arm crutch, but he gets around good, considering where he was at when it happened.
That's a cool story. One of these days I would like to look him up as well, as that is a whole separate story. Talk to me about your comeback back in 2009, and how that went down?
Well, Brock and I would sometimes head over and ride with Davi as well, since he lived pretty close to me in Georgia. I was just having fun doing that and it was real low key. We were just riding and not doing anything serious. But then in 2008 my wife bought me a bike, and my brother was well on the road to recovery. Even at that point, I never really thought about racing again, but Sellards was doing well with his arenacross deal. That is what got it started. Arenacross is low key, and you don't have to do the full blown supercross training for it.
So I did make an attempt at a comeback in 2009, but it didn't go that far. It was one of those things where I really enjoyed what I did to prepare, but it was a different story when you go racing. There's the challenge of staying healthy. I realized that is the part I didn't want to do, and that is the most important part. I had been training a lot back then, and did a half Ironman, I did a marathon, and was just keeping myself fit and doing the parts of the deal that really I enjoyed. And I was not doing the parts that I didn't like! But, it wasn't a big deal. After trying it once, I decided after that race that I wasn't really feeling it. I had also jammed my wrist again, and I already had a lot issues with that wrist over the years. So that's it.
Totally understandable. It can be a grind, and training and racing are very different things.
Yes. But you know, you really kind of forget what these guys go through day in and day out, and I just didn't really want to have to do that again. It was a lot of fun to be back on the bike, but putting in the work during the week that it requires to stay on the top level is very tough. Even for arenacross!

What is your fondest memory in racing?
Well, just basically being at that very top level, and racing with those guys. When you look back, I was part of that time, I was racing Jeremy, the greatest racer of all-time, and I was a threat to win races and titles. I guess I am just excited to have been part of that whole era. Jeremy and I had some heated battles and we didn't like each other for along time, man, but I have nothing but respect for him now. He is awesome.
Tell me about your personal life. Where are you living, and how are your kids doing?
Well, Jennifer and I are still together and she is great. We got engaged in 1999, back in Paris when I was there for the supercross. We recently moved up to Cartersville, Georgia, which is close to Atlanta, but prior to that we were living down in southern Georgia. Haydon was born in 2003, the week after my last win Phoenix. That was the one where I had that battle with Chad. That was a good week in my life! He is now nine-years old, plays tennis, baseball and does it all. Then we have Hudson who is four-years old. Neither of them are focused on one sport. It's all good. We come and go a lot, and we don't sit home much.
Okay, I have taken enough of your time. Hey, one last question – how is that weekday crowd at Milestone? Any crazy fans out there? I have heard some stories about that place.
Oh boy, I think I know what you are talking about. We are lucky our new track is off to the side and behind a chain fence, so not too many people come back here. We have had no issues!

The Conversation
Was so pumped when Ezra jumped aboard the CR250....he was a little on edge, but I think he was on the verge of dethrowing MC until the wrist injury occured... The race in PHX (sun devil stadium) when Ezra came from way back to catch MC and win it was one of my favorite races of all time.......
"finding a girlfriend, getting married, and having kids"-
Why is it that every nimrod dirtbike rider feels the need to get married and have kids before they are even adults for 10yrs? Idiots turn 18, and 6yrs later are playing Mr. daddy-homebody? Dumb as shit they are...
Don't be so quick to judge cranky pizzacorner. I think its mainly these guys never have a social life, since they live in the middle of nowhere most the time, have relatively few "real" friends (ones they're not tied to from the industry) and live a desolate lifestyle when most people their age are doing the opposite. They find that one girl who doesn't mind living in the middle of the Florida swamp with them, and thats it. Guess you gotta walk a mile in their shoes before you question the path of pro racers.
On another note..I wonder if Yogi remembers this? The track was called Coney (as in the type of fish) Island and it was in Bermuda! The year was 1989 and this little redneck (and I refer to the afore-mentioned "redneck" admirably) smoked the best riders there on a CR 80...well two guys beat him but they were on 250's...
Kinda knew the kid would be good seeing that...
Once again, I agree with "pizzacorner". As a professional athlete in any sport, I would wait til I am close to 30 before having children.
Wow. I'd like to see a reality show of half the morons like pizzacorner on this site that post comments. You sound so intelligent. You must live such a fulfilling life.
I loved Yogi in the 90s and early 2000s. Nice pick for open mic.
i will never be "better than ezra"
You guys might want to just put it off all together.
byrner99 : You nailed it bro! Very funny too.
pizzacorner and friends : why are you even talking about racers having kids? You DO know they come from girls right? Milsaps didn't actually have to birth the thing from his butt.
@731Chopper - I think there already is a show like you described. It's called Jersey Shore.
I watched Lusk at Muddy Creek when he was just 14, unreal how smooth and fast he was in the corners, it diddnt even look like he was trying hard.
Huge fan of yogi! I almost swapped right into him one day at a practice track in GA and he was still nice to me when i apologized to him for riding over my head. Ill never forget seeing that factory honda in floating beside me over a double. Raced with a broken arm.. bad dude!
pizzacorner : Pro racers by the time they are 18, the already have 14 years of work. They never get to hang with other boys their age, go to parties, go to the university, etc. So by the time they are 26 they have like 20 years of hard work in their bodies and feel ready for retirement.
@Motojoe710 you beat me to it. I remember a small section in one of the mags from back in the day when MC and Yogi were battling. There was a joke that read " What is Jeremy McGrath's favorite band, Better than Ezra". hahaha
i wish pizzaface would disappear and i hope he hasnt reproduced!
Corner speed is right!! Yogi railing a corner is my most vivid memory of his speed. Hey Yogi, what level do you play on USTA? Or is it ALTA down there? Maybe 4.0 or are you in the big boy leagues??
I always knew Ezra had major speed, Just never quite knew where his head was. Mental resiliency is a very different thing than mental stubbornness (mental intransience). I wish there were more mental trainers out there that would prepare the phenoms to race the mental obstacles better.
In my humble opinion, RC's arrogance was his biggest asset. It helped him rebound from failure quicker. While most people think of pride and arrogance as negatives (which they are in a normal setting), moderation is the key here - I feel that they can be useful tools if they are held in check by your circle of real friends. They can tell you when you are too far over the line.
I think that most young riders isolate themselves mentally when they hit the pressure cooker of the big stage. Isolation leads to self doubt. My guess is that might be one of the factors with Ezra.
Railing around CR on the outside of the last turn to win a supercross was quite a rush. It was near the end of his career.
I loved watching this guy race MC in 98/99. The battles those two had were legendary. I really thought 2000 was gonna be his year, and then he got hurt. I was gutted. Still am, but shall never forget the battles of the late nineties. That's what made me love this sport the way I do. Thanks for the memories Yogi.
I was sooo excited when I heard that Yogi was gonna race the U.S. open!
I always thought that he retired too soon.
McGrath had been injury prone, Ezra would have been a multi time champ.
He is clearly one of the smartest, most enlightened racers of the decade. Got out when he felt the time was right and doesn't seem to regret it.
xoxoxoxo Ezra
You have many hidden fans because of the classy way you handled your career.
@ the last question
Kessie, my offer is still on the table to introduce you to the Start Dog-House. Bring your knee pads.
When MC had a chokehold on SuperCross Ezra on a Honda was the only guy Willing to risk Life and limb to go that speed. Mc was too good but atleast one rider wouldn't just hand it to him.
Too many people in society focus on having kids too early when they are still kids themselves. So many are taught that when you turn 18 that is when you find a girl, get married and start a family. That is far too young. These guys do work their butts of and have better work ethics than most people their age by the time they are 10 or 20 years old, but that doesn't mean they are ready for fatherhood!
Ezra is just a classy guy and used to tick me off when he would give McGrath fits but he made it really fun to watch and those battles kept me and many others on the edge of their seats many time. That was awesome racing unlike some of the snoozfests we have from time to time these days.
Stay classy Ezra!
Correct>>>>> That should have said 18-20 years old...Not 10-20....:)

The Opportunity:
A government agency sought to dramatically improve its financial operating processes and procedures and enhance its monthly reporting, as well as clean-up past accounting records.
Engagement Scope:
Innovar was chosen to assist a government agency that was feeling the pains of high turn-over in the Finance Department, a new system implementation that led to a lack of understanding by Finance and Accounting staff, and complex accounting associated with governmental fund accounting. Innovar worked in the following areas:
- Budget shortfall investigation anddocumentation
- Process creation and improvement for a number of functional accounting areas:
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts Payable
- Encumbrances
- Payroll
- Budgeting
- Reconciliation of cash accounts that were eight months in arrears
- Fund balance reconciliation and cleanup, coupled with review and improvement of surrounding processes
- Interim Director of Accounting services
Innovar deployed a team of experienced professionals led by one of partners to quickly identify an approach that would result in a clean starting point to begin building the new operational processes. Major areas of analysis and recommendations included:
- Successfully reconciled all cash accounts in arrears and designed new processes and procedures to improve accuracy, efficiency and timeliness of reconciliation processes leveraging existing system tools
- Reviewed major accounting processes and procedures, identifying areas for improvement and designing and implementing process improvements that resulted in greater efficiency and accuracy. Major highlights of this effort include:
- Redesigned treasury management system employing a lockbox system that accelerated the deposit of cash receipts by two to four weeks
- Redesigned disbursement approvals and transaction processing and recording to prevent duplicate payments and to ensure accurate and timely recording of transactions
- Redesigned processes around recording of encumbrances to ensure proper accounting and to prevent extensive revision of accounting records
- Redesigned processes around payroll allocation resulting in appropriately allocating costs in accordance with budget and any subsequent revisions
- Budgeting
- Successfully reviewed and reconciled the fund balances for 165 separate funds assisting the agency in recording all necessary adjustments to cleanup the fund balances. Additionally, redesigned processes and procedures to ensure that future transactions will be allocated to the appropriate fund in a timely manner.
Innovar Collective Differentiators:
Experience – By bringing a team of specialists that averaged 20 years of experience each, government accounting knowledge, fund accounting expertise, and a proven methodology, the Innovar team was able to rapidly clean-up past accounting issues.
Real World Solutions – We don't make recommendations that are known Best-In-Class practices. We understand that every client is different and thus we tailor solutions to meet each client's needs, utilizing our years of operations experience in the real world.
Cost Effective – Innovar fees were significantly less than Big Box advisory firms while providing a more experienced team.
Financial & Operational Experience – The ability to blend strong project financial understanding, along with deep project operation experience, enabled a rapid delivery of a successful outcome.

The head from the special statue of Minerva
"The statue was made of bronze and covered in gold leaf. It would have been quite an amazing sight. The inside of the Temple would have been lit by burning coal. The flickering light from this would have been reflected from the statue and it may have looked as if she was actually moving!"
"We've only found the head of the statue. It's just a bit bigger than an adult's head. It was probably broken off when people became Christians and stopped believing in Sulis Minerva."
Apulia: "Inside the Temple of Sulis Minerva is a huge golden statue of her. We've never seen it as only priests can go into the Temple."
"Sulis Minerva looks after all the people who make things, like the potters and blacksmiths in the town, doctors, soldiers and anyone who comes here to be healed."

SV650 First Gen Big Axle Kit Only $450.00 with exchange of swing arm |
This is the BRG big axle kit for the SV650 First Gen. We found that after building some motors with pretty good horse power, anything 90HP and above effected the stability of the bike on the exit of the corners. WeI use an Ajax or 600 rear axle make a couple of rear swing arm axle holders welded on to the stock swing arm. The bike handles better, but it will take a few races to really get a good feel for the difference. |

Oui, Je Parle Francais
on May 3, 2011So in case your were wondering if I speak french or not I guess the answer is yes. However! It's definitely funny sounding and I make a lot of mistakes, but I'm okay with that so I agreed to do Be's Fashion Safari and talk about my style and what I like to wear and stuff. It was cool and the producers were so nice, but it was still weird to talk on camera and even weirder watching myself now! In fact I am cringing a bit but I thought I would share it anyhow this week. Be kind in the comments and try not to tease me on my facebook or twitter about it. The quality is better on the website so you might want to watch it there instead. Bisous!

Next to racing, football is my favorite sport to shoot. Due to some pending legal issues I am reluctantly excluding NFL images from this year in the blog (so a lot of my best shots are missing) but here is the best of non NFL football from 2009. Enjoy!
.I had planned on spending the weekend in San Diego shooting drag boat racing on Mission Bay with Jennifer and some friends but as things tend to go in my crazy life as a sports photographer, the original plan took a back seat to a last second shoot. That last second shoot was a college football game in Utah. Initially I wasn't very excited about the change of plans but once I found out the game had a late afternoon start with the chances of great light I somewhat warmed up to the idea.

Progreso and beyond
I am thinking of visiting the beaches on the north side of the peninsula.
Any thoughts about what to expect? I assume it will be more like going to Mexico than PDC tends to be (a little bit Euro). That thought does not bother me at all having been to Bucerias on the Pacific coast. |

We have a friend who owns property west of Progresso and have visited twice.
We spent time on the beach (which is a coarse tan sand much like So. Cal. sand, IMO). There were very few gringo's and as it was the weekend the restaurant's and beaches were filled with Mexican families having a great time. The restaurants were very good (we love Yucatecan food!) English not necessarily spoken by servers but we never had any problems getting food. Progresso was more like a large Pto. Morelos rather than a small Playa. Enjoy! Be sure to catch the live music every night in Merida. It's fiesta time every day in our experience. Be sure to search for Roni's trip reports on Merida. Great info on all aspects of Yucatecan life. http://www.playa.info/playa-del-carm...archid=4965873 |

A whopping $35 million for RockYou's social-network apps
That rumor of a $400 million valuation might not be too far off base: social-media application powerhouse RockYou announced Monday that it has raised $35 million in Series C venture capital.
The round was led by venture firm DCM, with contributions from several private investors. Previous RockYou investors include Lightspeed Venture Partners, Partech International, and Sequoia Capital.
It's the kind of money that may raise a few eyebrows, considering many believe the social-application space doesn't offer a proven business model yet. RockYou is responsible for a number of popular applications--SuperWall, Vampires, Likeness, X Me--on Facebook and several OpenSocial-compatible … Read more

This place is not 4-star but it was decent for the money. No perks whatsoever. The room had a "unique" smell to it but it was manageable. If necessary I would stay at this place again. The employees were friendly and it seemed safe.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"2 words--New sheets"
This stay was convenient because inexpensive, however the bed was so scratchy, I bought blankets to sleep on. Staff is friendly, hotel is clean, the rooms as well. Just the beds were terrible and there is no cable tv, just bare bones. HorribleRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"When nothing else is available"
The location of this hotel is great (corner of 610 and Westheimer but the hotel needs to be renovated. It smelled musty and like cigarette smoke. The finishes are old and the room needed to be cleaned better than it was. The price was great compared to the other hotels in the area but I will not be staying here again.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"good deal, close to the Galleria"
It was a good over all stay. Everybody was nice and helpful and there are plenty of food option around (the Galleria is next door). Keep in mind that there is only a grab'n'go breakfast (coffee, tea, and couple bars/fruits). Even though LaPeep, apparently good breakfast place across the street, is there, I was here for business and had to be out early […] in the morning. A complementary breakfast would be much appreciated. The room is fairly big with a kitchen. The AC was a little loud and birds were making so much noise in front of my window, but the bed was clean and comfortable. I managed to slept pretty well, and might consider staying there next time, because it's the best hotel deal I could find in the area. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Good deal in a High-end area..."
It was OK. Had to wait in line at 6:00 PM to check-in. Took about 20 minutes. Then, my room was still being cleaned, and they did not have another room. Just dropped my stuff off at my room, while the maid was cleaning, and then left for my evening plans. Room could have been cleaner. It looked like the room had been "lived in". Overall, however, a […] very good deal at $109, compared to the $250+ rates that are typical of this high-end area. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Getting run down"
You get what you pay for . Itsw close to the Galleria and has easy parking for free. The Wifi didn't really work so you had to use the upgraded one and pay more. There was no shampoo in the room. As an extended stay they don't make up your room every day . Again what can you expect at this price in Houston?Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com

Risposta della struttura Extended Stay America Houston - Galleria - Westheimer Thank you so much for posting a review of our property.

I do hope that you will return to our hotel, or any of our other brand locations, in the future.
"convenient but compromised."
My stay was fine it was the housekeeping. The room is only cleaned if you say for a seven day stretch and you have to bring towels to get towels. Very disappointed in the quality of service but was in a great location.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Terrible Hotel"
This hotel was terrible. It was very dirty. I even changed rooms and the 2nd was worse than the first. I will not ever stay here again.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
It took about 15 minutes to check in. Traffic in front of the the hotel is a nightmare during peak times. Rooms ok, nothing exceptional. Breakfast is a joke. They call it take and go. Sorry my earlier review of this hotel I confused for another.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Busy Area"
The hotel was a standard hotel, nothing fancy and the staff was friendly. Although the lobby did smell like recently grilled fish when I walked in. If there were a restaurant in the hotel I would not think anything of it, but I think it was more the staff cooking a late dinner than anything. The room was clean but there were various paper items under […] the bed which made me wonder how well they really clean when a guest checks out. The room itself was spacious but had a strange odor about it. It did not stink, but did not smell pleasant. I would not classify their breakfast as being a breakfast at all really, there was a small bookshelf in the lobby where they put muffins and random fruit on for you in the morning; so make sure to plan to pick up lunch if you are looking for a filling breakfast. The area is extremely busy so bring your patience with you when you are driving. However, there are lots of places to eat if you are brave enough to fight the traffic. Wifi is available which is great, just make sure you pay attention to the rates and don't get tricked into paying for your Wifi; the free one works just fine :) All in all, I would consider staying here againg if it were only for one night and only for business. It is definately not a place I would consider for a leisure stay. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"upscale location"
The location was excellent near the Galleria Mall on Westheimer. Numerous shopping and dining establishments nearby. Just a couple of things to consider about this hotel - i knew going in it is Extended Stay and would be spartan. Exotic aroma of third world country meals being prepared as you walk down the hallway - could be good or bad. Only real issue […] is the carpet is noticeably dirty and stained in the hallway and room. Bed was comfortable and room was clean other than the questionable carpet.

"Had what I need"
Extended Stay America had exactly what I needed. I need to eat every 2 hours, so a kitchen is a must. The lobby is very nicely kept. The location of this hotel is excellent. The rooms are spacious. One thing I recommend is bring your own shampoos, conditioner, dish soap... etc. I had all that at home (trail size) but didn't think to bring it because […] hotels usually have those things. It's understandable that they don't have them, though. There's a CVS next door. Although that CVS is clearly marked up. The rates are excellent. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

The staff was lovely... however, that was the only good part. The hallways constantly wreaked of bad cooking and food and seeped into my room. Pets allowed...read there was dog hair embedded in the desk chairs and probably everywhere else, I had to lay towels on all the seats to not end up with fur on my clothing. There were men's beard shavings along […] the wall next to the sink.

It was a quiet place but very dated. Location is good. The dishes were dirty, the rooms were very dated, windows were broken (wouldnt stay open), the breakfast was a joke for what we paid.

"just ok - not too impressed"
I guess this hotel wasn't bad, but it was a little old (the toliet, sink &doors had chipped paint/old stains) and the furniture and applicances were very basic. My room had 2 beds, one was firm and comfy and the sheets were clean but were stained. The other bed had broken springs. There was a broken electrical outlet by the bed i slept in, so i couldn't […] use the lamp or alarm clock. I have to say that I was able to take a nice, hot shower and there was sufficent pressure, so that made my evening worthwhiile. However, since i checked into room after 11 pm (after driving for 3.5 hours), there was no one at the front desk and thus, no one to check me in. I had to use the bathroom badly and the lobby bathroom was out of order. I had to look around for about 15 mintues before finding someone to help me. I located the housekeeper who was nice and gave me my key. BUT! the key did not work! The housekeeper was able to provide me with 3 more keys, but none of them worked! she finally let me into my room with her employee key, and i had to wait until the next evening to get a working key. That was REALLY frustating, especially since i had to go looking for the housekeeper each time my key wouldn't work. :( So i might stay here again, but only for a lower rate.

If you were to ask 10 film critics or professors what the most important German film from the silent period was, more than half of them will likely tell you it's Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Like many older films, though, the work had been chopped to pieces in the distribution process. Although notes existed as to what Lang's lost footage contained, the possibility of an original resurfacing has long been assumed impossible. Luckily, the seemingly impossible has happened, and a copy of the original, scratched an torn though it may be, has been unearthed. ... read more

Wouldn't that be great if they could not get anyone to build it. I suppose Obama would issue visa's from the Mid-East and hire workers there to build it as will as ship in all the materials. I absolutely would believe that if US workers refused, he would step in one way or another. Maybe use Tax dollars and order the Army Corp of Engineers to build. That would not surprise me either.
They won't build it! Hardhats vow not to work on controversial mosque near Ground Zero

This product is a bit pricey for a lipbalm but so worth it. It may kind of burn if your lips are VERY VERY dry and you bite/lick them a lot but it does restore your lips to their natural state and is AMAZING. Definetly re-purchasing and highly recommend

This product is really incredible. For a cheap, sensible lip balm, it really delivers and I love the fact that it is totally natural. It makes my lips plump and tingly, and it is incredibly moisturizing. I have tried every lip balm/chapstick/lip butter out there, and this is really the only product that has really delivered. I highly recommend this to anyone. It smells fresh and clean, like mint and honey. It is very moisturizing, unlike Chapstick and Eos brands. It stays on for hours and you don't need to reapply as often as with other products. Highly recommend. HG product for me.

I've gone through a lot of these for a reason. I love how plump they make my lips look and feel. I live lip products that give me a nice tingly feeling such as this one. On days my lips are just dead and dry and ugly, I put this on a viola! Nice plump lips again. Its best under matte lipstick in my opinion. I have very full lips but they get dry and this really makes them as smooth as I want them to be.

Not only are my lips dry and chapped but they are also very sensitive to flavours. Over the years I've tried the rosebud salve lip balms, lip smackers and they've all just irritated my lips. Chapped dead skin is easily removed in the morning when I slap this on at night. Though some may not like the waxy feel of it or the peppermint, the original Burt's Bees is a must have in my opinion!!

Well, I thought I was going to love this. It's all natural ans burts bee is a well known and loved brand. I didn't like this chapstick at all. My number one issue is that this is super hard to put on. It doesn't glide on nicely, it gets hard all the time and when your in a hurry and apply this it will totally rip the skin off your lips. I found this to be a problem in the winter months. I have to constantly reapply this, it doesn't keep my lips soft. I like the peppermint cool feeling but that is about it. I wouldn't buy it again. I still have the one I bought left.

This lip balm is amazing! The cold, tingy feeling you get when you put it on your lips is so refreshing and it really moisturizes them. The packaging is really simple and easy to fit into a pocket or purse.
One thing I don't like about this lip balm is that I find it wears off quickly and I have to reapply it pretty often.
Overall though, I love this Burt's Bees product. I've been using it for years and I haven't found anything better. :)

I recently moved and bought myself two extras thinking that maybe I would not find it here.
I have used it basically every day for the last 3 months. I have the one with menthol/ minty feeling. What I love is that it gives me matte finish. I am so done with those lip balms that leave a shine. Matte is so much nicer. I love the minty feeling, my lips are smooth even those days when I don't apply it. I can find it in price range 3-5€, which is ok for me.

I tried to love this chapstick, I really did. It feels so nice when you first put it on. The peppermint makes your entire lips icy cold and it creates an instant soothing relief for dry, aching lips. It's a very appealing sensation.
However, I agree with other reviewers that it does something weird to your lips over time. I always found myself constantly needing to re-apply this and to put on thicker coats because once it dried, my lips hurt even more than before. I will have to look out for a better chapstick.

Posted: 6:56 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, 2010
By Kaedy Kiely
Last year a dear, long-time friend of mine was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. This happened around the same time I was having my own battle with breast cancer. The major, devastating difference was that while I was getting better, my friend Deborah was quickly getting worse. There is no cure for ALS. It attacks one's nerve cells leaving them unable to walk, talk, eat and, eventually, unable to breathe. It is an incredibly vicious disease. Miraculously, it will never crush Deborah's spirit, though. I smile through tears when I see her post her positive affirmations on facebook -- her grace and wisdom will always be with those who know and love her.
You can help find a cure for ALS with thousands of others next Saturday, November 6, at Centennial Olympic Park. The 5k Walk to Defeat ALS starts at 10am -- check in's at 8:30am. Find out more or simply donate by calling 888-636-9940, or register for the walk online at www.walktodefeatals.org.

Santo Domingo. - Empty hallways and parking lots and little movement by officials in the National Palace is the stark contrast with the throngs in and around what was president elect Danilo Medina's campaign headquarters, where hundreds of people gathered to not "get left out in the cold."
The offices located on Sarasota Av. in the upscale sector Mirador Sur were packed with so many people that many had to remain outside waiting for Medina's arrival, under the baking sun and some impeccably dressed and folders in hand.
As the afternoon wore and the hours passed without Medina in sight, the crowd began thinning and only few waited into the event in hopes of meeting with the President-elect.
Nearly all signed the guest book to "greet and congratulate" Medina, who on Monday told reporters that "I've nothing to say," and that when he has a statement, "I'll call you."
"Zombies are anachronistic individuals, in appearance, in their ways, in their mindset, they remain obtusely anchored to the past, and offer nothing new, nothing interesting".
Please do not regale us with more zombies in your new administration, we have had enough of those!
Everybody loves a winner and will grovel at his feet to win favor. The lottery begins for the bootlickers seeking a free pass to the government's accomodation bureau.
Let the a$$ kissing begin .......
The only problem is that the best a$$ kissers are the old incumbents with the most to lose....
But do yourselves a favor and find the report of the election from the lastest issue of the Economist magazine, which sets out the problems facing Danillo- corruption, cronyism, poverty and cutting cutting the apron strings from Leonita.
The article also recognizes that Danillo may be part of the problem as well and mentioned some of the problems with the fairness of the election.

Iran photoshopped missile testThis is not the first time the mullahs have tried to pull a fast one by faking photos of one of their missile tests. In this case, an anti-ship missile was fobbed off as a "long range" weapon despite the fact that it has a range of only 124 miles. There was some talk a few weeks ago that at least some of the captured drone's fuselage was photoshopped to cover damage to the aircraft. But this kind of stunt is getting tiresome as Iran is only fooling itself that it can defend against a determined attack by the US or Israel. |
