'Vicky' Sunisa Jett married her long time beau of 5 years 'Chai' Chatayodom Hiranyatsathiti at Hua Hin on May 4th, this is the second part to their wedding, the reception, at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Bangkok.
Their interview:
Chai: Today I am very excited, so I cried because I was deeply moved. Since I was a kid I have always wanted a family, but I have never paid attention to it. I became indifferent towards it. But when that day came I was deeply moved by it. It's nothing that I have ever experienced before, most importantly I have someone that love and we are becoming one.
Vicky: I am very happy ka. I tell my friends and family everyday. My chest is about to burst, there is no way I can be more happier than this.
Chai feels that having wife is the next stage in his life
Chai: Yesterday I went shopping, someone came up to congratulate me and asked if my 'wife' came along too? When I heard the word 'wife',I have never had that word before, it felt great–like I have graduated to the stage. I have become a blessed person now.
Vicky: As for me, I feel happy to have a husband now (laughs). I am happy because my life is more secure. The word 'husband' is a new awareness.
About her wedding part 2.
Vicky: As for the wedding today, it is like the wedding at Hua Hin. P'Chai likes white flowers and there are candles because I love candles–it's very similar to the wedding at the beach.
Chai: Kee (Vicky) took care of everything for both events. I just waited to admire the final product. I was already impressed with the Hua Hin event. I will be impressed until my final days. I never thought it would make my life this happy (starts to well up with tears)
Vicky wore 3 dresses, the morning dress she designed herself. She chose her own ring, a 2 carat diamond ring.
Their vow and promises to each other:
Vicky: I love P'Chai ka, he is my everything in my life. I love him the most ka.
Chai:As for me these past 5 years…today is our 5th year anniversary, May 16th. That is why I chose this day. I have always told her I don't feel alone anymore (cries) I have found happiness. We have never sat down and give vows to each other. Time has shown me how happy I am to be with her. It's grows daily. Not only do we have love, we have a growing bond.'
Vicky:I want to watch over P'Chai to the best of my abilities, take care of his everything. Not only is he my husband, he is my friend.
Chai: Normally, she takes care of me. She gives me food, she always buys me food. She takes good care of me in every area. From the incident that happened more than a month and a half ago, it has shown me I have a friend to think and make decisions with. A lot of people have told me before the wedding, there will be many proofs like fighting, but up to this day we have conquered those obstacles. It has made me realized I have a friend to think with.

Intel Hands over Moblin to Linux Foundation
Hardware maker Intel has handed over hosting of the Moblin open source platform to the Linux Foundation with a hoped for larger external participation.
Moblin stands for Mobile Linux, an open source project to develop Linux-based platforms optimized for such devices as netbooks, mobile phones and auto infotainment systems. Intel initiated the project two years ago and is now transferring responsibility to the Linux Foundation. The mobile platform certainly found a perfect match in Intel's processor technology, but had trouble being adopted by many projects and embedded providers, such as Montavista and the LiMo Foundation.
Rammohan Peddibhotla, Open Source Business Director at Intel, described the hosting transfer decision of the project to Linux Magazine Online: "Intel believes that a vendor neutral third-party host, such as the Linux Foundation, will prime Moblin to become the most advanced and open mobile Linux platform. Intel believes that open source projects need to be owned and fostered by the community." Also hoped for is a growth in participating developers. Peddibhotla: "Development of Moblin will continue to be managed as always by the established norms of other open source projects wherein contributions are included based on the technical merit regardless of the origin of the contribution."
The strategic advantage that the free platform has for Intel shows in the list of Linux developers already participating in the project, among them Alan Cox and the former technical head of SUSE, Dirk Hohndel. Peddibhotla feels that this should continue to be the case.
End of January Intel demonstrated Moblin2 with an especially eye-catching netbook startup time. In February Intel then added LG to its partners and founded a development center in Taiwan together with government and industry to accelerate growth opportunities for mobile device makers. Yet another alliance could give the mobile platform additional stimulus: together with BMW, Peugeot, GM, embedded provider Wind River and others, Intel at last month's CeBIT Open Source conference announced the GENEVI infotainment alliance. The next few months should start showing some results in that regard that are at least partly based on Moblin.

That statement, however, was more for them than it was for the rest of the teams on Bountiful's schedule as the Braves took down the Knights 31-21.
"That was a good statement for us," said Braves coach Larry Wall. "We're not trying to make a statement to the state or to the region, but to ourselves. We showed that we could play with anybody and that we weren't intimidated."
The Braves' kept converting big plays during key moments in the game on offense, defense, and special teams against Lone Peak Friday night. Down seven points in the first quarter, Ryan Curtis returned a punt 48 yards for a touchdown that tied the game at 7-7. Two minutes later the Braves scored again, this time on a 66 yard catch-and-run by receiver Tanner Redding on a perfectly placed pass by starting quarterback Trevor Lloyd.
After the Knights scored to tie the game at 14, Bountiful's next two possessions each lasted 13 plays and ended in points as they took a 10-point halftime lead. The Braves' first drive ended with a 21-yard field goal by Caleb Maynard, while the second ended with Lloyd finding Sam Merrill for a five-yard touchdown.
"I thought we had the momentum," said Wall. "We were kind of in limbo, playing really soft, weren't really sure where we were."
Curtis' touchdown, however, was just the spark the rest of the team needed as the game progressed, said Wall.
"It was huge," he said. "It put us back on even terms and really got us going. (Curtis) did a great job. He's a playmaker and does so many things for us."
Bountiful's defense continued to push back and get pressure on both Lone Peak quarterbacks Brayden Miles and Baron Gajkowski, stopping the Knights offense from scoring on seven straight possessions. A key defensive series for the Braves came when Lone Peak intercepted a pass from Lloyd and started in Bountiful's territory. Three plays later, the Knights were sitting on the Bountiful 12 yard line.
An incompletion and back-to-back sacks by Bountiful senior Junior Hamilton forced Lone Peak to kick a field goal three plays later, which landed short of the goal posts.
"Junior played a great game," said Wall. "I thought our defensive ends did a nice job of containing (the quarterback). That entire (defensive line) forced their quarterback to feel uncomfortable and that's what we wanted."
In the fourth quarter, however, Lone Peak got to within three points of tying the game after Miles found Talon Shumway for a 22-yard touchdown pass.
Bountiful responded by going on a 15-play drive that lasted over seven minutes and was capped off by a Jakob Hunt three-yard scoring run with 3:01 remaining in the game. The Braves ran the ball on 12-of-15 plays and was aided by a fourth-down personal foul call when Lloyd was hit late scampering out of bounds. Two plays later, junior Jordan Hayes found Redding for a 20-yard gain that helped set up Hunt's score.
GAME NOTES: Lloyd was 19-of-25 passing with 211 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. He was injured during Bountiful's final scoring drive, and Wall said after the game it appeared to be a knee injury. Hunt had 26 carries for 79 yards and a touchdown while Redding had seven catches for 138 yards and one touchdown. Merrill finished with seven catches for 49 yards and a touchdown reception. The Braves' next game will be at Mountain View Friday night at 7 p.m.

PipeTech Academy at MAINTENANCE 2012
Investing together in competence development is a must!
Belgium is one of the leading countries in the field of pipelines. The port of Antwerp houses one of the largest clusters of process lines in the world. This seems logical, especially when considering the large number of chemical and petrochemical companies that are active there. But there are also all the other companies such as transshipment, food or pharmaceutical companies, to name but a few. In fact, every company needs pipelines to make production run smoothly.
That is why BIS ROB Montagebedrijf N.V., Fabricom, ISS Industrial Services N.V. and VDAB (Flemish Employment and Vocational Training Service) decided to invest in additional training capacity for pipe fitters. To this end, they signed a long-term partnership agreement and created the PipeTech Academy in 2009.
Agoria vzw later joined to boost the impact of the agreement. With the accession of SPIE Belgium N.V. in 2011, the PipeTech Academy is even better equipped to tackle the acute shortage of qualified pipe fitters.
To reduce the gap between the labor market and education, the PipeTech Alliance was founded in 2011. The goal is to bring all partners together under one roof that have contact in any way with pipefitters. Together, they want to harmonize and promote schooling. In short, they would like to create a foundation to detect all bottlenecks and to implement all solutions in a uniform way.
MAINTENANCE 2012 will devote special attention to the PipeTech Academy. A production environment will be simulated on the exhibition floor, where all pipe fitter skills will be demonstrated. It will also be a great opportunity for you to show off your technical expertise. The programme will be supplemented with theoretical sessions on the situation and the objectives of this highly relevant initiative.

OCZ shows a new R4 - the Z-Drive R4 CloudServ, with 16 (!) SandForce 2200 SSD's!
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 8, 2012 - 04:10 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: z-drive, ssd, r4, pcie, ocz, CES
OCZ has a monster of a Z-Drive R4 on display at Storage Visions. We looked at the original 1.6TB R4 back in September. That one had 8 SF-2200 controllers on-board. This new R4 has 16!
This R4 has a beast of a VCA 2.0 controller. It's cooled by heat pipes, can handle up to 16 SATA links, address up to 16TB of storage, and pass up to 1.4 million IOPS across a PCIe bus at 6.5GB/sec (yes, GigaBytes). Note: this is not the R5, it's just a *really* fast R4.
PC Perspective's CES 2012 coverage is sponsored by MSI Computer.
Follow all of our coverage of the show at http://pcper.com/ces!
Back in June of last year, OCZ released the RevoDrive, followed up rather quickly by the RevoDrive x2. A further jump was made with the introduction of VCA 2.0 architecture with the RevoDrive 3 and 3 x2. Each iteration pushed the envelope further as better implementations of VCA were introduced, using faster and greater numbers of PCIe channels, linked to faster and greater numbers of SandForce controllers.
While the line of RevoDrives was tailored more towards power users and mild server use, OCZ has taken their VCA 2.0 solution to the next level entirely, putting their sights on full blown enterprise purposing. With that, we introduce the OCZ Z-Drive R4:

Question of the Day: Can You Drive 55?
Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55" may not be the safest song to drive to according to a new study conducted by London Metropolitan University. The Telegraph reports that the study found that the safest songs to listen to while driving have a tempo of 60 to 80 beats per minute, around the same as a human heartbeat. Topping the list of safest songs is Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me".

Coach Ken Hitchcock kept preaching patience when it came to evaluating individual players and the St. Louis Blues as a team coming out of a lockout.
Hitchcock factored in the long layoff, compressed schedule and the fact many games will be the second of back-to-backs, three in four days or four in six.
Exhibit A was much of the Blues' first period Tuesday in a 3-2 road loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Blues' defense and goaltending were under fire soon after a noisy United Center crowd welcomed the Blackhawks back during their home opener.
A lack of smooth entries into the offensive zone by the Blues didn't help, either.
Chicago had numerous odd-man rushes, including a rare 3-on-0 rush that led to the first goal by Patrick Kane as goaltender Brian Elliott was left to fend for himself.
"It's not going to be silky smooth until you get a lot more games under your belt," Hitchcock said. "Defense is the toughest thing, it's quickness in the mind, quickness to react and quickness to read things. It's always the last thing to come around.
"We're going to be a while on that -- just like a lot of other teams."
It may not happen quickly, either, despite the immediate nature of a 48-game schedule.
"It's going to be a while, probably six weeks total, before everybody gets up to speed," Hitchcock predicted.
While the Blues looked invincible during a 6-0 season-opening victory over Detroit and followed that up with a 3-2 shootout win on the road against Nashville, there were some difficult moments against the Blackhawks.
After falling behind 3-0, the Blues showed some degree of resolve by fighting back to within one in the third period on goals by Andy McDonald and T.J. Oshie.
Even as the final horn sounded they were scratching and clawing for the tying goal.
"We mounted a big comeback," Hitchcock said, "but cleaning up those areas without practicing ... it's going to take a lot of trial and error before we could get it right."
The Blues dropped to 1-4-6 in their last 11 trips to Chicago. Their last win at United Center was Feb. 3, 2010.
Redden activated
The Blues on Wednesday activated veteran defenseman Wade Redden, creating roster space by placing defenseman Jeff Woywitka on waivers and assigning defenseman Ian Cole to minor-league Peoria.
The Cole assignment is a procedural move, but he will be back with the team tomorrow whether or not Woywitka clears waivers.
It's similar to the roster move last week when the Blues assigned rookie forward Jaden Schwartz to the minors, then played him in the season opener the following day.
Will Redden be in the Blues' lineup against Nashville on Thursday for his first NHL game in more than two seasons?
"We're going to make an evaluation after the skate tomorrow on what he looks like, but so far so good," Hitchcock said. "He doesn't need to carry the load or quarterback the power play. He's just got to fit in."
Redden, who will wear No. 6 after Woywitka had to change to a different number, could be in the Blues' lineup as early as Thursday night for their home game against Nashville.
The Blues signed Redden to a one-year, $800,000 pro-rated contract last week after his contract was bought out by the New York Rangers.
Redden spent the last two years playing in the minors for the Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate in Connecticut.
Hitchcock didn't find any major issues with Cole's early-season performance.
"Without the puck he's been fine," Hitchcock said. "The game and getting up to tempo with the puck is always a work in progress. He's been very competitive, very physical and hard to play against."
Around the rink
Through three games, some positive trends are emerging for the Blues.
They have the NHL's best power play, scoring six times in nine opportunities (66.7 percent), while defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk already has five assists.
Rookie winger Vladimir Tarasenko is off to a flying start with three goals and five points in his first three NHL games.

Posted: Jan 30, 2013 9:38 PM by Lindsay MacLeod, KSBY News
Santa Maria Police officers arrested two people on Wednesday in connection with a stolen vehicle pursuit.
The pursuit happened on Monday. Officers say they pursued a stolen vehicle, but stopped chasing the car once it became dangerous to other cars on the road. Police were still able to identify the driver as 35-year-old David De Los Santos of Santa Maria.
On Wednesday, officers say they saw De Los Santos walking around the 200 Block of North McClelland. After a short foot chase, De Los Santos was detained and booked for stolen vehicle and evading charges.
Police say 30-year-old Nipomo resident Renae Burpee was with De Los Santos at the time. She was also identified as a passenger in the stolen vehicle, and she had two outstanding felony warrants. Burpee was booked on her outstanding arrest warrants and for possession of stolen property.

Palestine: Israel's Olmert Comes to Washington
Palestine: Israel's Olmert Comes to Washington
** Bush capped Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's visit to Washington with a cautious endorsement of Israel's plan for annexation of large swathes of Palestinian territory including major settlement blocs and about 80% of Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
** Bush hailed Olmert's "bold moves," but the visit still highlighted a potential divide between U.S. and Israeli approaches, as well as between the White House and Congressional Republicans.
** On the ground in the occupied territories, humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate, and desperation and violence are on the rise.
** A new Palestinian initiative raises the possibility of a referendum on accepting a Palestinian state in territory occupied in 1967, implicitly recognizing Israel.
** Bush promised to defend Israel if it is attacked by Iran; Olmert pushed for international action against Iran, and said he and Bush see eye to eye on the Iran crisis.
Ehud Olmert's high-profile visit to Washington succeeded in winning support for his version of the Sharon-initiated plan for a unilateral Israeli move in the West Bank. The plan would remove about 60,000 settlers from dozens of scattered settlements, while annexing huge swathes of land including three major settlement blocs populated by about 160,000 settlers, to Israel. Despite Israeli claims, all the settlements - the small scattered "outposts" and the huge city-sized suburban-style settlements outside of Jerusalem - are equally illegal under international law, UN resolutions and the Geneva Conventions.
The plan includes imposing a unilaterally determined border between Israel (which currently has no acknowledged borders) and a putative Palestinian state. According to Israel's foreign minister, the border would largely follow the route of the Apartheid Wall Israel has built throughout the occupied West Bank. According to the United Nations, that border would mean Israeli annexation of about 15% of West Bank territory and the vast majority of its scarce water aquifers.
The plan is based on Sharon's 2002 model which called for an Israeli land grab in the West Bank in the form of legalizing major settlement blocs, and an end to the Palestinian right of return as a quid-pro-quo for Israel's settler pull-out and troop withdrawal from the streets of Gaza. However, since the 2005 Gaza "redeployment" Israel continues its occupation by controlling all of Gaza's entry and exit, airspace, coastal waters, economy, water and electricity, as well as by continual military attacks and "targeted assassinations" of Gazan military and political leaders with high numbers of accompanying civilian casualties. In a letter to Sharon in April 2004, Bush accepted that deal.
Olmert's plan is based on Sharon's vision. Former President Jimmy Carter, writing in USA Today about the plan, said "It is inconceivable that any Palestinian, Arab leader, or any objective member of the international community could accept this illegal action as a permanent solution to the continuing altercation in the Middle East. This confiscation of land is to be carried out without resorting to peace talks with the Palestinians, and in direct contravention of the 'road map for peace,' which President Bush helped to initiate and has strongly supported."
But because it envisions a pull-out from a part of the economically and strategically more valuable West Bank, rather than Sharon's Gaza pull-out, Olmert's plan is politically riskier within the fractious Israeli political scene. And Olmert, who was Sharon's deputy until the general's stroke in January 2006, does not have any of Sharon's military credentials. So the plan faces stronger challenges in Israel.
Bush was also not enthusiastic about all aspects of the plan, especially its reliance on unilateral Israeli action. During Olmert's visit, Bush praised the plan as "bold" and "creative." But Bush is concerned about his record low poll ratings and growing international isolation vis--vis Iraq, and is therefore more cautious in how he endorses Olmert's plan. Bush's acceptance of the plan was more conditional than his enthusiastic embrace of Sharon's Gaza pull-out, especially as he urged Olmert to at least go through the motions of diplomatic contacts with Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas. Trying to repair Iraq-frayed and Iran-threatened relations with European and key Arab allies, Bush pushed Israel to engage with the Palestinians before moving unilaterally. It is not evidence of a serious U.S. commitment to real Palestinian-Israeli negotiations (which have stalled for the last three years). But it does indicate U.S. concern about appearing to supporting Israeli unilateralism. The Washington Post described Bush telling Israel to "at least make the appearance of seeking a Palestinian partner before they can declare none exists." That might open the way for a small crack, in the U.S.-Israeli alliance.
Bush's domestic and international political concerns also are leading to his new willingness to split from his Republican allies in Congress, who hold some of the most ferociously hard-line pro-Israeli views dominating the House of Representatives. That was obvious in the administration's opposition to the overwhelming House vote for the radical Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Bill of 2006, that passed the House the day before Olmert's arrival. The bill would end all U.S. diplomatic contacts with any Palestinian officials, Hamas members or not; would prohibit almost all humanitarian assistance to Palestinians; would designate West Bank and Gaza territory under the Palestinian Authority as a "terrorist sanctuary;" would close the Palestinian information office and deny visas to all Palestinian officials, and more. Ironically, if it became law the bill would prohibit exactly the kind of "engagement" with Palestinian President Abbas that Bush was urging on the Israeli leader. Support for the bill, which was mobilized by AIPAC, the most powerful component of the pro-Israeli lobbies, was overwhelming, and crossed party lines. Despite AIPAC pressures however, (including an AIPAC staffer accusing Rep. Betty McCollum of "supporting terrorism" because of her no vote) there were 37 votes against the bill, as well as many "present" votes and non-voting Representatives. Rep. McCollum stood up to the lobby with an unprecedented open letter stating that AIPAC literature and staff would not be welcome in her office until they apologized. Many members who spoke against the bill referred to arguments put forward by the member organizations of the U.S. Campaign to End Israeli Occupation.
On the ground, the economic crisis caused by the cut-off of aid and the physical as well as political isolation of the Palestinians in the wake of the Hamas election, has exploded. A May 7 World Bank study reported that more than 50% of Palestinians in the occupied territories are now living under the international poverty line of $2 per day; in Gaza more than 70% are below the poverty line. Unemployment is officially 34% across the territories, in Gaza alone it is 44%, rising to 55% whenever the frequent Israeli closures of the border crossings are imposed. With the cut-off of funds from international donors, and especially with Israel's illegal withholding of tax revenues it owes to the PA, over 40% of all Palestinian Authority employees have not been paid for three months. That has particularly dangerous implications in Gaza, where more than half the entire workforce is employed by the PA; many of those now unpaid employees are the sole support of extended families of up to 15 people or even more.
During a high-level Israeli-Palestinian-U.S. conference in Washington several weeks ago, U.S. officials were asked what was their plan - what did they think would be accomplished by cutting aid and isolating the Palestinians because they had elected Hamas? The State Department's top Middle East official answered "we don't have a plan. We don't need a plan." Israeli security officials themselves acknowledge that anti-Hamas sanctions won't end the crisis; the chief of staff of the Israeli military, Lt. General Dan Halutz, told the Knesset this week that economic sanctions would not topple Hamas nor diminish support for it.
Given the rising levels of impoverishment and isolation, it is hardly surprising that violence is rising throughout the occupied territories. Armed conflicts between feuding political factions have increased, along with a broader violence-producing a break-down of communal solidarity and the shredding of Palestine's already stressed social fabric. Further, Israel has escalated its military attacks on Palestinians, including the killing of at least four unarmed civilians and wounding over 50 more in a raid in Ramallah, as well as arresting a top Hamas militant on the day of Olmert's meeting with Bush.
The day after Olmert left Washington, Palestinian President Abbas announced a new political initiative, calling for a Palestinian referendum that would articulate a Palestinian understanding of a two-state solution and of recognition of Israel. The proposal was for a vote on the Hamas-Fatah agreement hammered out by leaders of both factions imprisoned together in an Israeli jail over the last two months. The text specifies establishment of a Palestinian state in the territories occupied by Israel in 1967, and refers to the Arab League's 2002 Beirut summit statement that calls for full Arab recognition of Israel when it ends its occupation of the 1967 territories. The statement is understood to implicitly recognize Israel. Some Hamas leaders have already agreed; others view it as a violation of the election's legitimacy. Palestinian pollsters believe it would pass with a strong majority. Certainly it would provide additional popular support to the beleaguered President Abbas, but it would also provide a democratically legitimate kind of political cover for Hamas and other leaders who may want to shift their rhetoric to reflect public opinion, but have been unwilling to violate their earlier commitments and principles.
Such a referendum could provide an important moment for asserting a new Palestinian consensus, with the possibility of opening new negotiations. But such a vote would have only partial legitimacy, involving only those Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza (maybe, or maybe not, including occupied Arab East Jerusalem). It would exclude Palestinian Israelis, as well as the millions of Palestinian refugees and exiles in the far-flung diaspora. So while it could be an important indicator of collective opinion, or even consensus in the occupied territories, that would be an indicator of the opinion of only one sector of the Palestinian people.
During his Washington visit, Olmert also reasserted Israel's hard-line approach to Iran. Greeted with applause in Congress, he said that "a nuclear Iran means a terrorist state could achieve the primary mission for which terrorists live and die: the mass destruction of innocent human life.This challenge, which I believe is the test of our time, is the one the West cannot afford to fail." In language reminiscent of Bush's build-up for war in Iraq, Olmert said "history will judge our generation by the actions we take now the international community will be measured not by its intentions but by its results." Bush restated his pledge to defend Israel if it is attacked by Iran, which some analysts saw as a subtle warning to Israel not to take the military initiative against Iran. But Olmert also claimed that he and Bush saw "eye to eye" on Iran.
Whether or not that is true, Israel remains a major player in the Iran nuclear crisis: at times directly threatening a military strike on Iran, at other times cheerleading for a militarized U.S. response. And Israel's own unacknowledged but widely known nuclear arsenal remains a key provocation across the Middle East region. Immediate diplomacy - including direct U.S.-Iran talks - is urgently needed to resolve the current crisis. But in the longer term, only creation of a weapons of mass destruction-free zone throughout the Middle East - with no exceptions - has the potential for a permanent peace.
Establishment of such a zone is already part of U.S. law: UN Security Council Resolution 687, ending the 1991 U.S. war against Iraq, calls for "establishing in the Middle East a zone free from weapons of mass destruction and all missiles to deliver them." That resolution was drafted by U.S. diplomats, and its passage by the Council makes it part of international, as well as U.S. domestic law. It's time we held the U.S. accountable to its own commitments.

"Worst I have ever stayed at!!!!"
Nice lobby, looks decent, but don't let that fool you! I stay at Super 8 motels all the time.They are usually clean, decent and cheap. This was terrible. Dirty tub, door did not shut. Terrible area, watch out for drug dealers and a train 40 yards away that runs all night. skip this Super 8. Go anywhere else.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

I'm a pretty picky person, but I read the reviews and knew what I was getting into before arriving.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
Where to begin? The room should be condemned. The faucet in the bathroom did not shut off. It's been running for so long that the tub had a large, black area where the ceramic had eroded. I didn't dare walk on the carpet. It was stained with God-knows-what. The hotel is undergoing renovations, but if my room is any indication, the whole place should […] be condemned.

"Great Quite Hotel next to Downtown Memphis"
The location was so great, I was right next to Downtown Memphis and all the Highways. There is a beautiful Park right in front of the Hotel, that is called Fort Pickering, it's also listed on The Civil War Trails marker. You get a great view of the Mississippi River there too! Even though the staff was different everyday/night, they were very nice and […] helpful! The looks of the place are not at all what you get/receive there! I stayed there by myself (single female) for 8 days/nights, and not once felt scared. They have a clean Hotel, a beautiful clean pool, and my room had a refrigerator and microwave in it. (They should really list it as a suite!) The couple whom cleans the rooms there, (I think is a husband and wife team) was very quick, exact, helpful and friendly! They have cleaning down to a science. They really know what they are doing! I enjoyed them both so much and was so greatful of how they treated me, I left them a tip at the end of my stay, to say Thank You. If your ever in Memphis and want a nice, clean, friendly, quite and great price Hotel. Don't hesitate to book a couple nights there! LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

The motel staff were pleasant. That was the only good thing about this place. The room we had was filthy and actually had black mold growing all over one wall. I couldn't check out fast enough from that place. I will not be staying there ever again. 10 thumbs DOWN!!!!Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Better than I expected"
I booked this room, THEN read the reviews and was horrified by the number off bad reviews this place got. While on my way down from Canada, I thought "OK, if I get a bad room, I'll ask to switch rooms. If they refuse, or the next room is bad, I'll call hotels.com and complain". I got to the hotel, got my room, went in and it was perfect! I checked it […] top to bottom for bugs and not a one. A moth flew in when I went outside, but that's it. The bed was super comfy, everything was clean, and the wifi was super fast. Downsides: the abandoned buildings around the hotel are super creepy at night. Coming from Canada, I am used to almost silent nights, but I was terrified of the noise coming from the trees on my first night. Turns out Tennessee just has bigger and more cicadas than we have in Canada and they stay out at night down there. It's hard to get to and from the hotel by foot. I walked to and from the hotel every day. The houses near the hotel are BEAUTIFUL!!! It's a perfect, safe, little neighbourhood, but once you cross the bridge over the highway, you enter factories. There is a Hershey's factory and a Budweiser factory. The truck drivers are friendly, but apparently a lot of crime happens in this area at night. All in all, I would stay here again.

"Right off the Arkansas-Tennessee bridge"
It was great; the hotel is in a really convenient place right off multiple freeways. The actual neighborhood scared us a lot as we pulled in (we had a lot of possessions in our vehicle), but we were safe the entire stay and had a great time. The pool wasn't the best, but it was a pool and had water in it. Breakfast was just waffles, toast, and cold […] cereal, but I don't know what more you need for this price range. Really, it was a comfortable stay. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

not exactly what i expected. when i pulled up i could tell we were not in a wonderful neighborhood and i was wondering if i should cancel and try to find something else. when i walked in the lobby i was pleasantly surprised at what the inside looked like. very clean and comfortable. the hotel staff was very nice and they have a shuttle to beale st that […] is very very reasonable and they even come back and pick you up as long as you call them before eleven at night LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

"Pleasant experience."
Room was clean, bed very comfortable. It was good to have a microwave and fridge in room Staff friendly and helpful. The shuttle service was fast and a good deal compared to taxicabs. Breakfast was satisfactory, Waffles for breakfast... great! The only negatives are that there are no restaurants or stores, not even a gas station near to get some supplies […] in a hurry. The other was the WIFI did not work in the room, . In the lobby was also a problem, but there is a computer for guest use. That helped.. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
Hotels.com picture was deceiving! We got there and hoped it wasn't our hotel because it looked like a dump. Our room was decent but we couldn't sleep at all that night. People were up on the balconies breaking stuff, screaming and yelling at each other, and jumping in the pool at 3-4am. I heard bottles being smashed and all kinds of mess. The stairs […] had spiderwebs and wasps nests. Breakfast was the only good thing about this place. I would much rather paid a little more to have a nicer hotel.

Our first room had 1 working light and a bathroom door that didn't shut. The girl on reception was very helpful and switched our room which the lock system on the door didn't work. We were again moved to a better room but it was still below an acceptable standard. We suffered through the musty aircon and screeching trains. 2 nights was enough even though […] we'd booked for 3.

We won't stay there again!Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"not what I was expecting : ("
I would of never expected the condition of a hotel to be this bad. The pictures does not represent the actual hotel, it might of 10 years ago but not now. The most serious condition is literally the black mold on the ceilings and especially in the bathroom. The room "safe" they advertised didn't even work. The pool was closed and we couldn't find out […] why, we think it was do to the employees having a bbq. Most hotels provide complimentary shampoo and conditioner, this place sells it in the vending machine for like a $1.50. We sprayed the bed spread down with lysol and used blankets we had in the car. The complimentary breakfast consisted of toast, waffles and two types of cereal, juice, milk and coffee. This had to be the absolutely worst experience in a hotel, we had ever experienced. My little girl cryed to sleep in the car, I would of left and tryed to find a different hotel but I was worried I would get lost. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

Can't even begin to say how awful this place was. Stay away!!Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Scary Movie Set"
The good thing about this hotel is that it is adjacent to the freeway and so it is easy to travel through town. The bad thing is that there is almost nothing near the hotel itself. The lot behind the hotel features an abandoned building that resembles the location for a scary movie. The room is spacious and very clean and when inside it we almost forgot […] about the less than welcoming neighborhood outside. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

"Definitely Had Worse for the Price"
This was a stop on our road trip across the south and up the east coast. We stayed at low end hotels in every city. Driving up to the building we were concerned about what the rooms may be like but were pleasantly surprised when we entered. Everyone we encountered was very helpful. The rooms were exactly what you would expect in a Super 8 but were clean. […] A lot if people complained about the surrounding area. However, with the exception of the immediate area around Beale Street, Memphis is pretty run down. We were walking distance to the Metal Museum and could drive to Beale in about 5 minutes. There is a shuttle for those that don't have a car. I would stay again. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

I was very skeptical at first by the reviews but the price was right where I needed it to be.

With the long walks and low density of vending machines per square mile, golf courses tend to leave players hungry. Luckily, at The Golf Club at Wescott Plantation, The Wescott Bar & Grill awaits visitors in the clubhouse. The bar and grill prepares upscale American and Italian food, with dinner entrees such as herb-marinated roasted chicken thigh and a surf and turf dish with a 6-ounce filet mignon and 4-ounce garlic butter lobster tail. Those entrees might pair with imported or domestic wine, including an Italian moscato and a pinot grigio from California. The Wescott Bar & Grill also cooks up omelets and other breakfast specialties, as well as a full lunch menu packed with more sandwiches than Yogi Bear's vault.
As a Class A affiliate of the New York Yankees, the Charleston RiverDogs aim to enchant fans with shapely curveballs and winning line drives. The club takes the field at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, where fans can take in views of the Ashley River as they watch the next crop of MLB stars sprout from the nutrient-rich soil stored within their cleats. Between innings, fans can snack on the Riley Park's concession stands' pickle dogs, brat cheesesteaks, and old-fashioned boiled peanuts—just some of the delicacies that have lured ballpark-cuisine fans from the Travel Channel to The Joe.
Eric Sullivan owes his seamanship and fishing skills to his 21-year stint in the Coast Guard. In his free time, he would fish the waters of wherever his job landed him, whether it was the Bering Sea, the Atlantic coast, or Mars's one puddle. Nowadays, most of his fishing takes place along the inlets and marshes of South Carolina's Low Country as the owner of his own fishing-charter company, Triple Hook Fishing. Aboard his 22-foot bay boat, the US Coast Guard–licensed captain motors passengers on fishing trips to waters that are rich with redfish, trout, flounder, and seasonal fish such as sharks and king mackerel. Through these trips, Eric is able to share his passion for fishing with others, and help families create the type of lasting memories he has created with his own wife and kids.
2011 marks Family Circle Cup's 11th year at the award-winning Family Circle Tennis Center on Daniel Island, and its 39th consecutive year on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour. Family Circle's "Game, Set, Rock! Tennis. Amplified." event treats ears to a buffet of pulse-pumping music as eyes feast upon an evening's worth of singles and mixed-doubles matches by four tennis titans. Watch eight-time Family Circle Cup singles champion Chris Evert pair up with Todd Martin to take on four-time singles champion Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe. All the athletes will be wearing microphones so that attendees can hear every grunt, gasp, and witty one liner that emanates from players' vocal chords. Groupon buyers may also choose to attend the Family Circle Cup finale, the final round of play during the tournament wherein the 2011 Family Circle Cup winner will be crowned.
Captain Howard, the man at the helm of Adventure Harbor Tours, has an inherent attraction to the water. The second he steps out onto his boat he finds less dread, more excitement, and a desire to share this joy with others. As the voices of Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley sing from his boat's onboard stereo, Captain Howard ferries groups of up to 12 out into Charleston Harbor, where Atlantic bottlenose dolphins swim beneath the surface and one lonely scuba diver guards the harbor's flush valve. The captain's expeditions can take the form of private charters, fishing charters, or his most popular trip: a tour of Morris Island.
Untouched by cars or roads, Morris Island welcomes visitors onto secluded beaches filled with shells, sand dollars, and conchs. The 4-mile barrier island allows ample room for visitors to pick these shells, play in the sand, or run alongside their dogs—which Captain Howard welcomes onto his tours.

Do the requirements for leadership change over time or are there timeless patterns? Do traditional approaches help us to pick and develop leaders or are there alternative ways that advance our understanding?

The BBE Green Screamer effect pedal is a vintage overdrive capable of producing a dynamic range of smooth and warm overdrive tones associated with vintage tube amps. The overdrive pedal features rugged construction that can take a beating, thanks to its heavy-duty die-cast chassis. Fat knurled knobs let you dial in your ultimate tone with your toes. The status LED light lets you see the pedal is engaged even on a dimly lit stage. A non-skid pad on the bottom reduces movement, so you don't have to chase your pedal across the floor. True hardwire bypass switching ensures it has no effect on your tone when its disengaged. The BBE overdrive pedal's easy access battery compartment is included so you don't expose your circuitry every time you need to change the battery.
The BBE Green Screamer pedal delivers a creamy, tube-like, dynamically responsive overdrive that won't mask the tone of your guitar and amp. This pedal has three main controls: Gain, Tone, and Level, and a true hardware bypass switch, and can be powered by a 9V battery or AC adapter. Use a Green Screamer pedal as a stand-alone overdrive, adding overdrive to a single-channel amplifier. You can also use it as a solo booster also, not necessarily as a transparent solo booster, but a booster that has a midrange characteristic to boost solos or just to chunk up rhythms.

"The perfect conversation for men with little to say can be summed up in eight words: 'Can you believe the weather at that game?'"
Author Wes Yoder's words are humorous. Yet beyond the sports and weather chatter and silence that characterize many male conversations, there is brokenness. Emptiness. Shame. That's not funny.
For Yoder, addressing the problem is not about planting the flag for one's manhood by joining a mass movement for men, nor is it necessary for men to "sire a herd or shoot a moose to authenticate their manhood." Yoder calls disappointed, disenchanted, and lonely men to authenticity. To rediscover joy. To find satisfaction.
In Bond of Brothers, men will discover:
- Why your career and performance at work are not your identity
- How to defeat the fears that come to a man in the "Tough Years'
- What to do when you are too worried to forgive or too power-hungry to smile
- Why spiritual friendships are the central, life-giving core of all healthy relationships among men
Being present to comfort, to love, to listen, to take a step toward Jesus together in our brokenness … that is the essence of friendship, Yoder says. When we invite Jesus into our shared brokenness, he can do the work of remaking what is left of the mess we have made of ourselves. Begin a journey toward authenticity and your true identity here!
