Our room location was very quiet. The included breakfast had a good range of options.
There is no option for natural ventilation but that is probably a security problem.
the bed was terrible :( very uncomfortable it rocked back and forth like it was going to fall off its legs and the toilet kept making a lot of noise every ten minutes.also we could hear lots of noises from other rooms.
Quiet, safe feeling, easily excessable parking, comfortable beds.
Noisy air conditioner, inconsistant heat/AC, no room service (but we just ordered pizza)
Here's a quick summary of my thoughts of the place.. For 15 days I had no worries about my morning repast - because I was provided with free, and a good substantial breakfast. - a laundromat for guests. - Comfy beds & fluffy pillows. Quiet rooms. Friendly / professional staff. - plenty of parking. great location.
I have nothing negative to say !
1. receiption 2.comfortable bed
Small room but clean. Very helpful stuff. Good location.
Breakfast was absolutely awful.
Comfortable, no weird luxuries, good breakfast.
The fan bearing in the bathroom of room 426 makes a clatter, near death, needs replacement quickly. Everything dies.
Great Breakfast Included!
Small room, too noisy, had to walk half a block for ice
We like the room size
Good location, close to sky train and shopping centre.
Breakfast was great. Glad the bathroom is updated. The room coffee was excellent!
No microwave in the room. There is a space for it though.
Very comfortable hotel, quiet and clean. I also want to say that Booking.com is an excellent way to book a hotel. Very professional with excellent customer service. The hotels always had our reservations and the day we had to leave Banff early, the room was canceled with no charge. I would definitely use Booking.com again.
Walking distance to mall and Skytrain transit into Vancouver
Having the mirror next to the bathroom sink meant that whenever the light above the sink was turned on, it reflected over to the person still trying to sleep, so not a great arrangement for two people.
very friendly staff nice relaxing pool clean comfortable rooms
breakfast was a little busy but a nice inclusion
Wi-Fi with better connection speed then Delta Suites
Not like as seen in pictures. had to request microwave. no tea kettles. Small toilet
Rooms were clean Staff was courteous, respectful I recommend if in Vancouver
Pool Room quality excelent
wifi - has to be re entered after time out
I had an outside door with plenty of room to park my vehicle and unload my equipment into my room. Travelling with business, I have a lot to unload into my room. The outside door was also convenient when customers came to meet me. The room was very clean and all of the necessities were there. Breakfast was included so that was great, too.
No complaints
nice quite rooms, clean, and free breakfast
no shampoo given and check in took longer than expected.
Clean, modern, friendly staff, good breakfast.
Room was not ready for us at 4pm, when we arrived.
Could have used a bottle opener in our room, but were VERY thankful for Parvinder (?) for lending us one from her cart! She was so sweet! Hats off to her :)
such a cute little pool!! family loved basking in the sun on the deck or standing in the pool while chatting. And the hotel was pretty clean, and the staff was great and friendly.
The lineup for breakfast was pretty long due to the old pancake machine.
I was there for one night, its difficult to gage a stay however I would stay again. The room was nice, clean everything I expected. It was nice to receive a voucher for free breakfast.
Yes a free breakfast voucher was given. It seems odd to complain about something you didn't expect. The lineup was long and they were running out of food. I think they were short staffed. Still what I ate was fulfilling.

Seton Hill at Cheyney, noon, Saturday
Itĺs a quasi-homecoming for Griffinsĺ coach Isaac Collins. He spent three seasons as Widener before heading to Greensburg to take over a program that has not had a winning season since 2008.
Seton Hill are eerily similar. Both are 0-10 and are riding two of the longest losing streaks in Division II. The similarities do not end there. Both teams lost their starting quarterbacks in the beginning of the season and have been struggling to put points on the board.
The Griffins have scored 21 point in each of their last two games and rank 14th in the conference in scoring offense (14 ppg.) and last in total offense (219.9 yards per game. Cheyney is 15th in both categories (11.0 ppg. and 228.6 ypg.).
Cheyneyĺs defense is slightly better statistically. The Wolves are 14th in scoring defense (40.5) and 10th in total defense (391.5 ypg.). Cheney also has two of the top tacklers in the PSAC. Linebackers Isaiah Fleming and Javier Garcia are the only duo to rank in the top 10 in the conference in tackles. Both are in the top five. Fleming leads the conference in total tackles (122), solo stops (76) and average tackles per game (12.2). Garcia is fourth in average tackles per game (9.9), tied for fifth in overall tackles (89) and tied for eighth in solo tackles (42).
Seton Hill is 14th in total defense (434.1 ypg.) and last in scoring defense (44.6 pp.g). The Griffins also have one of the top tacklers in the league. Junior linebacker Tyler Zimmer is second in the league in tackles per game (11.3) and solo stops (54).
Widener at Delaware Valley, 1 p.m. Saturday
More than the Pennsylvania Cup will be at stake when the Pride takes on the Aggies at James Work Stadium.
Widener (6-3, 6-2) has to win to have any shot at a share of the MAC championship and a chance to make the NCAA Division III playoffs for the second straight season and the 14th time in program history. The Aggies (6-3, 5-3) must win to keep their ECAC bowl game hopes alive.
Widener needs help. The Pride has to win and Albright has to beat Lebanon Valley for Widener to claim a share of the MAC title. The Pride also needs Stevenson to knock off Lycoming for Widener to earn the automatic bid to the Division III playoffs.
If Lycoming wins, Widener wins and Lebanon Valley loses, Lyco gets the automatic bid based on its 20-17 victory over Albright.
As for the Keystone Cup, which has gone to the winner of the Widener-Del Val game since 1981, the Pride are trying to make it two in a row over the Aggies for the first time since the 2002. Although Widener has won two of the last three meetings and leads the all-time series, 27-8, Del Val has dominated this annual showdown since 2003. The Aggies have come out on top seven of the last 10 times.
Individually, All-America wide receiver Antony Davis (Chester All-Delco) needs one reception to become the first Widener player to catch 80 passes in a season. He also needs 63 yards to top the 1,000-yard mark in receiving for the season.
Senior running back Kyle Schuberth (Monsignor Bonner) is the second player in Del Val history to rush for 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons. He went over the millennium mark with 117 yards in last weekĺs win over Wilkes. With 3,433 career yards, Schuberth needs 98 yards to pass Steve Cook (3,530 from 2002-05) for second place in program history.
şŚ TERRY TOOHEY
For both teams, Saturdayĺs noon showdown at Cheyneyĺs OĺShields-Stevenson Stadium is huge. Itĺs the last chance for one team to end the season on a positive note.
The Griffins, who are coached by former Widener head man Isaac Collins, are 0-10 and have the second-longest losing streak in Division II at 23 games. Seton Hill has not won a game since beating Liberty, 26-22, Oct. 29, 2011.
Cheyney is in the same situation. The Wolves are also 0-10 and possess the third-longest losing streak in Division II at 20 games. Cheyneyĺs last win was a 34-21 triumph over Lincoln Sept. 1, 2012.
Only Pace, which takes a 27-game losing streak into its season finale, has lost more consecutive games than the Griffins and Wolves in Division II.
ôItĺs an opportunity to build some momentum for the offseason,ö Collins said. ôItĺs an opportunity to set the table and while itĺs only one game, it means youĺre on a one-game winning streak going into your opener.ö
Cheyney hasnĺt had a winless season since 2009. The Wolves havenĺt beaten a team from the PSAC West since a 30-19 triumph over Lock Haven in 2007 and have not won their season finale since 1993.
ôThese seniors have never gone through a season without a win,ö Cheyney coach Ken Lockard said. ôIt could be a monumental win for our program.ö
As for Collins, he knew he faced a tough task when he left Widener to take over a program that was 4-40 since making the Division II playoffs in 2008. To complicate matters, Seton Hill was moving to the PSAC, one of the strongest conferences in Division II.
ôWeĺve made strides,ö Collins said. ôWe havenĺt made enough, but weĺve definitely have made some strides. The biggest thing is I knew what I was up against. We spent a good majority of our time trying to fix some things off the field with the program.
ôFrom listening to folks in the dining area or who talk to me after the games about what our kids are doing on campus, and the way theyĺre conducting their business, I think we have made strides in that area. That makes me excited about the future because it was no different at Widener. We had to fix some things off the field before we could fix them on the field.ö
The on-the-field fix is similar for both teams: Depth. Neither team has the depth to compete in the PSAC on a consistent basis.
ôThatĺs the constant struggle,ö Lockard said earlier this year. ôOur numbers are better and theyĺre getting better every year, but it takes time.ö
ôOne of our immediate areas of need is on the offensive and defensive lines,ö Collins said. ôWe donĺt have a lot of depth there. We have to get some people in her to fix that.ö
Lockard and Collins hope to address those issues on the recruiting trail. Their immediate concern is finishing the season on a positive note. One will. One wonĺt.
ôWhen youĺre dealing with a struggling program, one little win can be instrumental to the program,ö Lockard said. ôTwo years ago, when we beat Lincoln, it was the first time we beat them, ever. One win on that docket over zero wins is a totally different mindset.ö

Not only does he provide for his family, he helps take care of them also. He's much more multi dimensional. A little bit of a Renaissance Man.
More care is an easy decision.
So if you shouldn't use soap on your face what should you use? Soap dries, Dove Men+Care doesn't.

How to beat the streaking Heat
Miami is on a roll, but the champs have a major weakness on their roster
Updated: March 6, 2013, 4:18 PM ETBy Tom Haberstroh | ESPN.com
The Miami Heat are playing like LeBron James breaking loose on a fast break: virtually unstoppable. The defending champs have won 15 consecutive games by an average margin of more than 12 points. It's a streak that has lasted over a month. The list of opponent casualties is undeniably impressive: the Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks have all been victimized by the Heat during the streak.

Real Estate Corner: Remove risk in loan process of home buying
This happens at various stages of the loan application, and sometimes at the very end.
Can a seller or the borrower ever be assured they will get the money to purchase?
Can the risk be considerably eliminated?
Yes, it can.
First of all, the buyer should be carefully screened for eligibility to borrow at the very onset of their house hunt. The buyer agent has the responsibility to ask preliminary questions, and prepare the buyers for what to expect before they meet with a lender's loan officer.
It is important the buyers receive a pre-approval letter from at least one lending institution. Caution is advised not to ask for multiple letters because multiple credit checks affect the loan eligibility.
By the way, you should ensure your Realtor is asking the buyer's agent if the buyer is "preapproved." These preapprovals are a measurement of what price range a buyer can afford.
There is not a lot of the process your Realtor can control. But by keeping track of the process, it can be seen if there is any thing holding up the loan process, and what can be done about it.
A home purchaser should ask when interviewing a potential real estate agent, "What steps do you take to ensure that you bring us a qualified buyer? and how do you follow up the loan process?"
Do not learn the hard way.

The Best of Car Talk
The best of Car Talk, the long-running public radio program hosted by brothers and long-time mechanics Ray and Tom Magliozzi (better known as "Click and Clack, The Tappet Brothers").
Recent Episodes
#1350: Stop and Smell the Tailpipe
This week on Car Talk, what does Tommy's dog have in common with Helen's Volvo? Each tends to smell its own exhaust! But Tommy's dog isn't losing brain cells over it, while Helen may be. Elsewhere, Tom traded a set of teeth for a Chevy Caprice, but may have gotten the worse end of the deal; and, Bill's wife talked him into buying a new Impreza, but it may not be able to handle their daily drive across Big Bone Creek. Also, Jackie's pet python's dinner fell behind her dashboard, which wouldn't be a huge problem if it wasn't a live rat; and could Kai's sputtering Subaru be suffering from a case of Wandering Crud? All this and more, this week on Car Talk.
#1349: Mechanics Standard Time
This week on Car Talk, Jim is wondering why his mechanic billed him for 8 hours of labor on a job that took only 4 hours, thereby launching a Magliozzi explanation of the mechanics' space-time continuum. Elsewhere, Lewis' VW dealer refused to honor a warranty repair, but may re-evaluate his position when he learns Lewis is an IRS agent; Abbie's friend gave her the most wacko suggestion we've ever heard to fix her car's alignment; and can Rachel hold us liable for the fender bender she caused because she was laughing at Car Talk? And, on Stump the Chumps, we find out if Tom and Ray helped put out the fire in Red's convertible, or if they just fanned the flames. All this and more, this week on Car Talk.
#1348: Repair Via Rock
This week on Car Talk, Amy's head is spinning because her speedometer needle won't stop whizzing around in circles. Is a well-aimed rock her only hope of making it stop? Elsewhere, Suzanne's husband loves his vintage Ford Model A, but its gas fumes are destroying brain cells by the thousands. Also, Deanna's car battery tops New York City's "Must Steal" list; Romeo's muscle car lost its musle after a day of peeling out; and Allen's Volvo and TV are both turning themselves on at random times. Is it bad wiring, or a bad neighbor? All this and more, this week on Car Talk.
#1347: Just Say Bang
This week on Car Talk, Tommy's life-long aversion to work meets its match in the U.S. Army, and his old pal Sgt. McNeely. But, little did Tommy know that his ill-fated attempt to avoid target practice would one day become official government policy in the U.K. In matters automotive, Alex loves his truck so much, he refers to its oil type as "Type O-Negative," but it may be time for it to meet its crusher; Fran can't decide whether to let her teenage daughter drive Grandpa's old Town Car, affectionately known as "The Party Barge"; and Tom and Ray try a new exit strategy for difficult questions: Diagnosis by Hypnosis. All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk.
#1346: The Cavalier That Wouldn't Die
This week on Car Talk, Kate is desperate to get rid of her Chevy Cavalier, but her husband has vowed to keep it running for another 150,000 miles. Can Tom and Ray help her escape, and will it involve Uncle Vinny and a book of matches? Elsewhere, Sofia swears her Civic is making noise, but her mechanic says she's suffering from an "auditory hallucination"; and, on Stump the Chumps we find out if Christo can get his car running without banging on the fuel pump. Also, should Kate take her Corolla with her when she relocates from Ohio to St. Thomas? We know two mechanics/radio hosts who are willing to volunteer to join her. All this and more, this week on Car Talk.
#1345: Forensic Mechanics
This week on Car Talk, Wendall's Bronco burst into flames and burnt to crisp, right after a 200 mile drive. Was it electrical? Fuel? A spouse holding an insurance policy? Elsewhere, Barry is hoping to find true love by fixing his co-worker's windshield wipers, and avoiding her jealous boyfriend; Donna needs a gracious way to tell her husband his theories about keeping her gas tank full are "boooooguuss"; and Deborah's lurching efforts to learn to drive a stick shift aren't being made any easier by her Civic's loud whine. Also, on Stump the Chumps we find out if Farmer Ben's manure spreader helped get his truck running smoothly again. All this and more, this week on Car Talk.

Avril Lavigne Tries, Fails to Look Sexyby Mischalova at . Comments
This just in: Avril Lavigne is no Marisa Miller.
As seen below, the Canadian singer is doing her best super model impression for a new photo spread in Maxim. But she can't pull it off.
After all, this is the same, supposedly hardcore skating chick that whined about how life was so "Complicated." But the result of her attempt to seduce us in a scantily clad array of pictures is simple: unattractive.
Sorry, Avril Lavigne. This doesn't do it for us. But Deryck Whibley is likely turned on by it.
i think she is pretty
she looks sexy and beautiful!!!
compare Marisa Miller, of course avril better, sexier, prettier, etc!!
love avril so much,,!!
she is so cool, so hot, so brilliant!!!
i think she is way pretty even tho i wouldnt have pics taken of me like that. i think shese really pertty. she looks soooooo young, onley like 16.not 23!!!!
Avril is the most beautiful woman in the world.
I wonder how "sexy" the person who posted this is.
Seems like another low life to me folks! Always being disgraceful to those hwo have a better life, and who spend their time more wisely. Honestly, she's grown up now, she isn't 17 anymore, that means she can wear grown up things and NOT be called a slut, but people like you, make them out to be, and faulsly accusing. She's a grown woman, she can wear what she wants.
i think she is the greatest and most beautiful pop star there ever was.so stop talking about her she had enough of a rough life in the past although it got better.i think she should go back to her regular hair like dirty blond or brown cause i love that better.GOOO AVRIL GOOOO!!!! :)
i want to send me sexy hot woman photse
Avril is a cute and pretty girl.
She looks sexy[:
I think Avril is simply one of the most beautiful women in the world, she completly pulls it off and the reason she is on the cover of Maxim and why this issue of Maxim was one the best selling issues Maxim has ever had. Avril is smoking HOT!!!

Managed Care earnings risk low from King vs. Burwell, says Leerink
Leerink believes the Supreme Court decision to the King vs. Burwell case carries low earnings risk for Managed Care companies. The case to determine the legality of Exchange subsidies administered by the Federal Government carries less than 2% and 3% of earnings risk for 2014 and 2015 estimates, respectively, Leerink believes. The firm says Humana (HUM) and Cigna (CI) are currently losing money on Exchanges, and thus could benefit from any Federal Exchange membership loss. Leerink lists Aetna (AET), Centene (CNC), WellPoint (WLP) and Molina Healthcare (MOH) as being most impacted.

Nov 3, 2010An absolutely brilliant FPS, that somehow has got lower ratings than it deserves. Chunky in everyway, goes back to the playing style of that of the first UT. Great graphics, great design on the levels, a nice selection of options. This deserves to be up there with the recommended Xbox 360 titles without a doubt.… Full Review »
Jun 21, 2014If you grew up playing Unreal Tournament on PC, this is a major nostalgia throwback. UT3 is about six years old on the Xbox 360, but it still holds up very well in 2014. Graphically this game still looks great, and it runs surprisingly smooth amongst all the chaos. There's always at least one or two multiplayer servers available with a small handful of people playing. The single player campaign was average at best (the story is absolutely atrocious), but you can always play in coop mode with 3 other people, which really boosts the fun! I highly recommend this game, especially if you grew up playing arena shooters.… Full Review »
ApocalypseBrownOct 8, 2008This is definitely a game of two halves, an excellent multiplayer then a dreadful single player. In the unreal world, the single player is only ever practice for the multiplayer. However in previous games the single player was short and sweet. This version however has some of the longest and most stale ideas I have ever seen! Truly boring after an hour. But the real meat and potatoes is the joint BEST multiplayer on the 360. It's better than Halo, Ghost Recon, Battlefield and the woeful COD. Only GOW and TF2 are on par with this, and why? Because it is sheer quality of FUN and BIG WEAPONS! From the first game to the last, lobbies are full of players waiting to blow each other to pieces, which in unreal is very satisfying. It is so easy to pick up and play, yet it takes time to master, it truly is a gaming classic. But the graphics are quite weak compared to it's PC brother, and of course no modding of characters suck! But with more levels and options, the 360 version more than makes up for it. In conclusion the multi gets a perfect ten, but the single player and graphics drag the overall score down to an eight.… Full Review »

Nick Markakis RF BAL Jun 22 '79
Nick Markakis' wife has given birth and the outfielder is hoping to return to the Orioles on Wednesday.
Baltimore is hosting the Yankees, so Markakis presumably could make it to the park. Buck Showalter should apprise the media of his status shortly.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Jun 20 '79
Nick Markakis plans to play on Wednesday, the day his wife is scheduled to have labor induced to deliver the couple's third child.
Baltimore hosts New York on Wednesday. Assuming Markakis is in the lineup, he'll square off against Andy Pettitte.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Jun 16 '79
Nick Markakis is not in the Orioles' starting lineup on Thursday night against the White Sox.
It's just a routine day of maintenance. Michael Morse will start in right field in Markakis' place.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Apr 21 '791 Comment
Nick Markakis has logged a .367/.412/.400 batting line in 34 July plate appearances.
It's nice to see after Markakis limped to a .229 average in June. Owners are no doubt a little disappointed by Markakis' power output in 2013, as he's hit just one home run since June 1 and logged only eight on the season. He's slugging 49 points below his career average.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Apr 05 '79
Nick Markakis went 2-for-4 and hit his eighth homer Monday versus the Indians.
It was the first homer since May 31 for Markakis. After a poor first 15 days of June, he's hit .355 with four doubles and nine runs scored in his last eight games.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Mar 23 '79
Nick Markakis went 2-for-4 with two RBI as the Orioles beat the Angels on Tuesday.
Markakis came through with a bases-loaded single in the 7th inning to give the Orioles the lead, giving him 37 RBI on the year. The outfielder is now hitting .293/.342/.425 on the year batting leadoff for the O's.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Mar 18 '79
Nick Markakis returned to the Orioles' lineup Friday against the Rays.
As expected. Markakis missed the last two games in Houston in order to attend in his grandmother's funeral.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Mar 15 '79
Nick Markakis will not play Wednesday or Thursday in order to attend his grandmother's funeral.
Markakis will play Tuesday before leaving prior to Wednesday's contest. The Orioles will not place him on the bereavement list, as that would mean he'd be unavailable to play Friday, as well. They'll play a man short the next two days.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Mar 12 '79
Nick Markakis smacked a solo homer Friday in a win over the Tigers.
Markakis also walked and scored two runs. He led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a solo homer against Jose Valverde while Chris Dickerson later followed with a walk-off three-run shot to give the Orioles the victory. Markakis has hit safely in 19 out of his last 21 games, improving his batting average from .264 to .307 on the year. With seven homers in 55 games, Markakis is currently on pace for his best power output since 2008.
Nick Markakis RF BAL Mar 05 '79
Nick Markakis went 3-for-5 with a three-run double in Friday's 10-6 win over the Blue Jays.
He also drew a walk and scored a run. Markakis has hit safely in nine straight games and has pulled his batting average up from .281 to an even .300 for the year. With 27 RBI through 48 games, Markakis is already halfway to his RBI total from last season.

Politics drove me away from religion. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Everywhere I looked, I saw "Christians" that didn't believe what I believed, so I guess I started to wonder if I believed what they believed, and from there, what did I believe at all?
I'm slowly making my way back. I've been reading a really great series on leaving and coming back to faith. My main takeaway is that when a person is raised with religion as a main part of their life then a piece of them is always tied to that experience. There's a religion-shaped hole that needs to be filled. Even if your brain can't explain all the mystical bits, it still likes the feeling you get when everybody is singing along and loving each other.
Unfortunately, my wife's Catholic church wasn't a place like I needed. It didn't have the loving, giving community that I needed. So I continued to stay away. It was too hard to go to a different church and besides, my wife's religion puzzle-piece is designed for solitude and introspection. Our pieces didn't seem to match.
But that may be changing. The new priest at her church is trying to turn things around. He is trying to resurrect a dying church by building a community around it. I have yet to hear him preach, but I'm excited. My daughters came home with good things to say. Yes, my 7yo and 4yo daughter actually paid attention in church. OMG indeed!
I'm also encourage by the changes happening at the top of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis is putting the church's focus firmly on compassion and mercy toward all people. In the most recent synod they discussed how to include and support families in all their forms. From the ideal Catholic family to divorced, cohabiting, and even homosexual families.
So the church is slowly making its way back toward my politics, so I guess I can try to make my way back toward the church, too.
