International Orchid Show & Sale Blooms At Museum In Philadelphia, April 12-14, 2013
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, an international orchid show will transform the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University into a spectacular world of flowers. The International Orchid Show and Sale will be held April 12–14, 2013, in collaboration with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Orchid Society. The event is free with regular museum admission.
The orchid extravaganza will feature more than 30 spectacular exhibits showcasing beautiful, sometimes bizarre, often fragrant, and always interesting orchids in full bloom. Visitors will marvel at the unparalleled beauty, complexity and diversity of the world's largest family of flowering plants, Orchidaceae, the scientific Latin name.
Arrayed throughout the museum will be more than 1,200 plants from orchid societies and individuals. These entries will be evaluated by certified American Orchid Society judges from the U.S. and Canada. Nearly 25 vendors from Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Brazil, Ecuador, and the U.S. will set up shop and offer orchid plants as well as growing supplies and related giftware.This International Orchid Show and Sale is the largest of its kind in the U.S. outside Florida and California. This is the first time the event will be held at the Academy, the nation's oldest natural history museum. "This is a fantastic opportunity to appreciate and enjoy a vastly diverse array of these exotic plants all in one place," said Academy President and CEO George W. Gephart, Jr. "The fascination with orchids dates back centuries, with some harrowing tales of orchid thieves and species endangerment." In addition to the orchid displays and market, there will be lectures, activities for families, and tours by appointment of the Academy's world-renowned botanical collection of about 1.4 million specimens, including about 9,000 orchids.

I've been searching for at least one victory or any withdrawal the last 3 weeks, but I couldn't get it. It's been a long losing streak for me. I played with many deposits, free chips, cash back, new casino free chips, ...etc, but I didn't have one withdrawal, all my deposits were gone really fast, never won over my starting balance, especially when I played with RTG casinos.
I know I should have stopped playing, but like I said, I just need one victory, lol. That was also why I didn't write my blog until today, I have no positive experience to write about.
I made a deposit today with Aladdins Gold casino, playing Glit & Glamoure game at 50 cents per spin, it won me a big one on three rounds of 10 free spins, but as soon as I increased my bet to $1 per spin, it destroyed my balance after that.

Best Brewery for Neighbors Denver 2012 - Copper Kettle Brewing
1338 S. Valentia St.
Denver, CO 80231
You won't find a brewery with a more dedicated clientele than the Copper Kettle, and you won't find a brewery that caters more to its regulars than this spot owned by Jeremy Gobien and Kristen Kozik. Stuck in a hidden business park between Denver and Aurora, the Copper Kettle has had to expand three times in less than a year of operation, in part because of regulars grateful for a craft-beer outpost on their side of town (a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival didn't hurt, either). This core group also makes up the brewery's fifty-member Brew Club, a beer-loving bunch of folks who were the first to buy the equivalent of fifty beers after Copper Kettle opened. Every member gets their own stein, along with special beer rates and opportunities to hang with the owners. "A lot of them, we see three or four times a week, and we know them intimately," Kozik says. "They have promoted us more than anyone else."

In Edge May Issue 266
Despite the release of system-seller Titanfall, Xbox One is still dragging behind PS4 at retail. We look at the issues facing Microsoft and talk to the people driving Xbox One as they attempt to reclaim the number one spot.
With Xbox One still in second place, it's up to the developers under Microsoft Studios to create games that generate demand for the console. We talk with creative director Ken Lobb to ask him about his experience with Xbox One, his days at Nintendo, and the challenges of working with new hardware.
The bright lure of new consoles has done nothing to dull the high-score-chasing scene that surrounds old-school arcade titles, however. We talk to the scene's elite about the dedication required to set and hold the top spot on classic arcade cabinets.
And this issue sees Ubisoft open its doors to its little-known but vitally important editorial team, which manages all of the company's games from conception to shelf, and sets the guidelines for every Ubisoft studio.
Finally, The Making Of Super Mario 3D World sees Nintendo talk about the happy accident that was Double Mario, and our Studio Profile finds us inside the halls of Alien: Isolation and Total War creator Creative Assembly.
Sony made its entrance into the virtual reality market with its Project Morpheus prototype at GDC. We talk to key developers about the new device, and discuss why it lends new legitimacy to the VR scene.
We also report on this year's BitSummit and look ahead to July's Develop conference. Plus our 2014 Get Into Games Challenge is now underway. We reveal this year's theme, judges and prizes, which include a full Unity Pro licence for the top three entries.
We explore the mysterious world of Below, find out that death might really be just the beginning for Murdered: Soul Suspect, head east and back in time for Yakuza: Ishin, and discover the simple joys of destruction in Bugbear's Next Car Game.
Our verdicts on games including Titanfall, Infamous: Second Son, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z.

I'm new to brewing. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time, but never got around to.
Finally, yesterday, I pulled the trigger and bought some stuff:
5 gallon Primary Fermentation Bucket
5 gallon Carboy
Bung and Airlock
Racking cane and Siphon Hose
Carboy Cleaning Brush
Restaurant Grade Sanitizing Solution
Yeast and Yeast Nutrition
I wanted to start with something easy. I've always loved honey Mead and had decided (through lots of googling) that Mead was a fairly easy brewing project to start with. So I started with it.
I thought I made a big mistake at one point, but I think it's working out okay anyway. I'll look to your input on that, though. Here is what I did.
1. Sanitized everything.
2. Pasteurized a 2 gallon mix of equal parts honey and water (1 gallon of honey with 1 gallon of water, brought to 170 degrees and kept there for 15 minutes).
2.1. Simultaneous with that^ I hydrated my yeast in room-temp/warm water.
3. Mixed the pasteurized honey/water mixture with 3 gallons of cold water in the primary fermentation bucket, then did my best to shake it/swirl it up for aeration.
4. (Here's where I messed up) I added the yeast nutrition and the hydrated yeast to the Must without first checking the temp to make sure it was not too hot.
5. I panicked, checked the temp, and discovered that the Must was around 120 degrees F.
6. Not knowing what to do, I put the lid on it and stuck in the airlock (with sanitized water in the airlock).
7. Moved the primary fermentation bucket to a dry room that stays at about 72-75 degrees F throughout the day.
I was concerned that I killed the yeast by adding it to water that was about 120 degrees F, and so I was planning on picking up another packet of yeast to pitch. But, within a couple of hours the airlock was bubbling about once every 20 seconds. This morning the airlock is bubbling at a rate slightly more frequent than once a second.
I know, from what I've read here, that the airlock is NOT a tool to gauge fermentation. I also know that the lack of bubbles in the airlock is NOT an indication that fermentation is not occurring.
So, my question would be related to the converse. Is quick and frequent airlock bubble action (more than once per second) an indication that fermentation IS occurring? Should I go ahead and pitch another packet of yeast to be safe, or should I leave it as is?
I do not have a hydrometer, therefore I did not get a measurement prior to pitching the yeast.
Please help me.
If it's bubbling then it's fermenting. I would recommend getting a hydrometer so you know when it has stopped fermenting.
yeast doesn't die until around 140, you were right on the edge. but if you have bubbling you're fermenting
Cool. Thanks.
I am going to get a hydrometer, at least for future batches. Regarding this batch, though, since I did not test it and get any sort of reading at the beginning, will a hydrometer tell me anything down the road, without a beginning reading to compare it to?
It'll let you know when it's done fermenting.
Critique the method/technique ?
Ok, why "pasteurise" something that is effectively, naturally sterile ? Or at least its natures most anti-fungal, anti-bacterial substance ?
After all, all of the sugars are fermentable, there's no conversion process like with beer making.
I didn't see if the honey was anything decent or not, at worst, you've removed a fair bit of the aromatics and probably some of the more subtle flavouring elements. You might as well just used a champagne yeast, it has a similar effect.
Making a basic and somewhat mediocre mead isn't hard, yet making a good, mega tasty mead isn't so easy.
If you have a look at the main page of the Gotmead forums, their "NewBee" guide is linked in the left side yellow dialogue box. It's full of invaluable advice and guidance.

80% of the earth is covered by water. The other 20% is covered by Eric Davis.
Yeah, it is. Just call him up to Chattanooga.
If there were still a reserve clause, Bruce would be on the team already.

Go Gators!
I was hoping they could bring him up to add another lefty to the lineup.
He's caught before, right?
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Here's the plan he could follow:
Trade Griffey, Dunn, Gonzalez and Hatte to the highest bidder and then eat Milton's contract.
Call up Bruce, Votto, Janish, and Bailey. Let them learn and grow together at the ML level as a peer group.
Here's what our team would be:
Freel CF
Phillips 2B
Hamilton RF
Encarnacion 3B
Votto 1B
Bruce LF
Janish SS
Valentin/Ross C
Harang SP
Arroyo SP
Lohse SP
Belisle SP
Bailey SP
Hopefully we could fill in some of the missing pieces with the trade returns, and we'd then be well-positioned financially to sign the young players that pan out the best.
It's a stretch for Bruce, but word has it that Bailey, Votto and Janish are already ML ready in many ways. I think this team, with youthful exhuberance and upside, might even be better than what we have right now -- and certainly more exciting. Think the Florida Marlins or the Tampa Bay Devil Rays...

nothing about trading Adam Dunn sounds like a good idea to me.

The newest champion to the League, Irelia sports an array of skills designed to counter the current metagame of League of Legends.
To master a game like League of Legends takes months if not years of practice.
So here's the best hero in League of Legends from a design standpoint. Your goal as Gragas is to get drunk and run into people.
There's something to be said for this strumming songstress, but Sona lacks the voice to say it!
While being one of the most difficult heroes to play in the league, Udyr also is one of the most rewarding. Pick him, and you will settle the war you're engaged in with your fists!
We've all seen it happen. First we're minding our own business and going to town on a guy, and next thing you know we're staring at our dead body, reduced to smithereens by a mage on the sidelines.
In the world of tanks in League of Legends, some prevent damage, some prevent targeting, and some prevent people from getting into or out of the fight to begin with.
The League of Legends community has largely been disappointed lately with the lack of significant changes in each week's patch.
A game that has taken the genre of multiplayer online team play by storm, Riot Games' League of Legends has gone from being a gimmick to a genre redefiner.
In a competitive team-based game like League of Legends, one weak link can quickly hand your opponents a win regardless of your performance.

I love the "Spirit of Aloha" at the Polynesian. I do it on almost every other trip. Overall the experience is great.
I love the hula dancers and the fire jugglers, but I find the story unnecessary and the food just average.
So, I am considering trying either The Wantilan Luau at Royal Pacific Resort Hotel in Universal Orlando, or the Makahiki Luau at Sea World.
Has anyone done them? How do they compare? Maybe I will just go all out and do 3 different luaus on my next trip.... hmmmmm.

Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- German opposition leader Frank- Walter Steinmeier said Chancellor Angela Merkel's government doesn't yet have the support of his Social Democrats in parliament for a leveraged European bailout fund.
Opposition parties are seeking a joint position paper with the coalition that states that another vote on the European Financial Stability Facility will follow tomorrow's European summit, Steinmeier told reporters today in Berlin. The draft measures distributed yesterday are insufficient, he said.
"What we've been told in sparse words on three and a half pages yesterday about the models" to leverage the EFSF "is not something I'm going to vote on in the German parliament," Steinmeier said. The SPD will decide on its position tomorrow before it goes to a vote in the lower house of parliament, or Bundestag, he said.

Embassy Suites Louisville...
Posted by
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY -- Stayed at Embassy suites on Friday...ask for Late check out when I check in and they told me to come back in morning. SO I go back Saturday morning and ask again...the so called Manager says that he can not allow it. So two hours later I am down in lobby in I watch an older gentlemen approach him and I hear him ask for a late check out..HE GIVES IT TO HIM. So I walk back up to him and ask him why he allowed him to have a late check out and not me...he can't give me a reason...FOR THE MONEY DON'T STAY HERE!! You can pay half the rate and stay at the HYATT PLACE which the rooms are just as nice.
WILL NEVER STAY AT THIS HOTEL AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and the bathrooms are only average and furniture is worn in the rooms.

'...bathrooms are only average and furniture is worn...' And this was perfectly acceptable until you were told 'No?'
Anonymous on 11/28/2009:
Did you research ahead of time? Call and ask about late checkout before booking? And if you knew the Hyatt was half the price, why not just stay there.
No offense, I agree, inconsistency is annoying. However it is always best to research and ask in advance, IMHO.
Anonymous on 11/28/2009:
Ponie, of course. I love how it's thrown in at the end, as an afterthought.
Anonymous on 11/28/2009:
My experience with asking for late checkouts is that you never get a definite answer. It always depends on the room availability at the time and they have always told me I need to ask on the morning of the checkout. If they don't need the room for an arriving guest, they usually tell you OK and then tell housekeeping not to make up the room until after you leave. Some hotels make a small charge. Some do it as a favor to members of their clubs like HHonours for Hilton or Priority Club for the Crowne Plaza group or Wyndham Rewards for the Ramada group. To the OP, you don't know if the older gentleman was a member of their club

I amazed at the responses most of you give....esp raven and ponie. Makes me think the response was giving by the manager I spoke with. Ponie..seeing that I never have stayed at this embassy suites....I thought it would be helpful for other travelers to know that the bathrooms are average and furniture was worn...SO I WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT PRIOR TO MY STAY. I have stayed in over 1000 hotel rooms and have NEVER not been giving a late check out when requested. The FACT that the manager gave someone a late check out after I requested it is a PROBLEM raven2002. I would have been happy to have paid an additional fee...by the way after I approached the manager a third time to complain he was ready to allow a late check out when I told him I would be speaking with Management...but I had already made other arrangements.
spiderman2 on 11/30/2009:
Was your reservation directly with the hotel or did you use a third party site? I wonder if that has any bearing on the situation.
PepperElf on 11/30/2009:
! o no we were found out! yep we're all the manager!
not really sure which company this is but... anyone who disagrees with the OP must be the manager. which means I'm the manager too!
but seriously...
99.99% of the replies are from people with no ties to the company. it IS possible in this reality that someone might disagree with a letter.
though ponie has an excellent point
would the condition of the rooms magically be "good" if they had told you "yes"?
Anonymous on 11/30/2009:
nctraveler don't be amazed. There are a handful of people on here that no matter what always side against the OP. If the manager had bludgeoned a six year old with a tickle me elmo doll there are those on here who would blame the child for provoking the manager. It's actually comical to read the leaps of logic they make in order to reinforce their abused too many days as a front line worker mantra that the customer is ALWAYS wrong. You just got to consider the source.
goduke on 11/30/2009:
It could have been that the guy who got the late check out has some kind of premier status (like the silver or gold club at Marriott). Who knows. It would be kind of frustrating.
Anonymous on 11/30/2009:
Good point goduke. Usually though on Saturday a late check out is not to hard to honor. You don't get too many people checking in on Saturday unless there's something special going on. Sounds like the manager had an attitude problem.
Anonymous on 11/30/2009:
sorry nctraverl, its not personal. I work for a law firm, not a hotel. Several plausible reasons for your situation were given by more than one person. Sorry you cannot accept them.
I really don't know why you stayed there if you knew the Hyatt was half the price. I don't don't know why you did not further question the manager after the other person was given a late check out. Perhaps you would have been given on of the many possible answers provided here.

Our Stay At The Embassy Suites/Downtown Cleveland Was Great
Posted by
CLEVELAND, OHIO -- We had a wonderful stay at the Embassy Suites. We were greeted by a hotel associate before we even checked in and everyone was very friendly. The Hotel offered an evening reception and made to order breakfast and they made sure we were aware of it and the location, as well as the locations of the other features. The room was beautiful, overlooking the tennis courts. The beds and pillows were fluffy, clean and comfortable. The room was quite large. Both areas of the suite included a large TV so there was no conflict about what to watch. There was a microwave, refrigerator and sink in the suite area as well. It looked as though it had been recently remodeled. Their shuttle service took us to our event in a friendly and efficient manner.
There was a large crowd for breakfast, but the staff were quick to clear off the tables so we didn't have to wait for an available table.
We used their valet parking service (it's extra, but I felt well worth it) and when we checked out, he brought our car to us and offered to give us directions to the interstate.
I felt the suite was a great value for the money and was very pleased with the hotel, the staff and the services.

Poor Customer Service - Will never use again!
Posted by
Total disaster! I had planned on taking my daughter to her first concert in Cleveland, OH. I went on line and booked a room through the Embassy Suites website and felt I was getting a good deal. Sadly, the concert was canceled. I thought about taking her to a different location and staying again with Embassy Suites and adding a night as I would be traveling further. I started by calling their customer service, but was told I could do nothing about changing the reservation because I had used the special on line rate where I couldn't make a cancellation or modification to the reservation. I was told that since I used the special internet rate, it had already been billed, the money had gone directly to the hotel in Cleveland, and there was no way to reverse the charges. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was put through to a voicemail. I left a message and the call was not returned. Later in the day, I called again and asked to speak to the supervisor. Again, was put through to voice mail and the call that was not returned.
I called Embassy Suites corporate office, which is part of the Hilton hotel chain. Got voicemail and left a message. I did receive a call back, but was told again that there was nothing I could do to change the reservation. I asked if there was someone else I could speak to, seeing as though I merely wanted to change the reservation to a different city and spend an additional night. Embassy Suites would still receive my money and then some since I was adding a night. I was told that they would forward my concerns to someone else and they would return my call. I never got a return call and now I'm paying for a room I won't use. Sadly, this also means I can't afford to go to the different city. This whole ordeal has left me very disappointed with Embassy Suites and the Hilton brand hotels.
I will never use a Hilton brand hotel and I will certainly exercise caution when booking a room on line. My advice to anyone using Embassy Suites or a Hilton brand hotel is to read the fine print clearly and realize that a good deal might lock you into something you might not actually use. They are very unwilling to allow changes and you certainly won't get your money back. It's incredible that they do not allow for a change in the reservation, even if it means they will receive more money in the end.
It's also shameful that they have no vested interest in their guests to even return phone calls.

It amazes me that even when a company spells out a policy very clearly on their website, people still expect them to make exceptions to the rule in their case because their circumstances are so different than anyone else's.
Anonymous on 08/27/2007:
I don't personally stay at any Hilton, or affiliated, hotels, but, unfortunately, this has probably happened to all of us at some point with other hotels/airlines/rental cars. It's just part of the internet game and sometimes can be quite a savings. If I feel my plans could change, I'll just pony up the extra money and get a refundable reservation thus saving any future grief. It's a hard lesson to learn though. Sorry you had to go through it.

All three properties the reservation can be canceled anytime before 6PM of the day of arrival without penalty. Hugh is correct you really need to check out the cancellation policy before and AVOID those with restrictive cancellation policies.
kate71 thanks for sharing your story with us. Well done! I voted your offering 'Very Helpful'!

Have fun in Texas, Stew. Lived there for a while and all 3 cities have so much to offer--all very different.
kate71 on 08/28/2007:
Sorry Hugh that I'm not as adept as you are at making on line reservations. I never expected my plans to change, but they did and I wanted to see if there was a way to change it. In case you missed it, a major point was the fact that phone calls were not returned, which I feel is poor customer service on their part. I felt telling people that their customer service is poor because it could mean a difference in where people stay.

When will people learn...pick up the phone (the number is usually on the web) and call the hotel you want to stay in direct....just a little bit more trouble, but saves problems in the long run.

TAMPA, FLORIDA -- I lost My job to Spanish speaking non-American 2 days after I trained them and the reason they gave me was I had poor job performance so I wrote them this letter below and went back and got referance/names and there phone number of all the people I work with and they even said it was wrong of them and would say so if asked.
I Would like to speak with someone about an issue I am having with my former place of employment. I was fired on Jan 23, 2007. I was told that it was because poor job preformance but I am sure that I was discriminated against by my supervisor. I was working at Embassy Suites Downtown Tampa. I am African American and my supervisor was Dominican. She constantly put me down and talked to me like an idiot. She said I had a problem because I did not speak Spanish and that if I wanted to succeed in my job I should learn. I personally trained six other fellow employees and one supervisor flawlessly. It was not a part of my job to do so, I did it because she said I had to and she was of no assistance to me. I was never wrote up or reprimanded for any type of behavior. I am also diabled based on an impaired mental capacity. Even with the disability I preformed my job flawlessly. This can be proven by statements made from other supervisors, managers, customers and employees. I am not the only employee that this has happened to and all the other employees as well as myself has been replaced with a hispanic workers and many time this persons English language skills and job preformance was very poor even after a period of time on the job. I enjoyed my job. I would like my job back or to seek restitution if I cannot have my job back. I have a family to support and my disability check does not cover all exspenses. I feel deeply hurt and upset that this has happened to me. There are a few other points I would like to make but I can wait until I speak to someone. If you can be of assistance or lead me in the right direstion I would be thankful.

You need a lawyer.
Skye on 01/28/2007:
I'm really sorry this happened to you. I agree with Ken, you should look into getting a lawyer.
SherryH on 01/28/2007:
That sucks...sue the pants off them...or your supervisor personally. Good luck and you know, maybe they did you a favor. When a door shuts, it forces you go explore other options and pass through other doors. I got rejected for a job because I am female. I was by far the superior person for the job and everyone knew it. I looked into other options, I now make $12,000 more a year than I did...and the person who they gave my job to quit after six months. Look at this like a blessing, my friend.
Anonymous on 01/28/2007:
Discriminated, I agree with Ken, Skye and You.
SherryH has a VERY GOOD point and I my self know fron personal experience she is right. But I still think you should fight them if you can and here is a few places to start: http://library.law.miami.edu/ediscrimguide.html
Internet Sites
Some of the more important Internet sites for information about employment discrimination are:
· Department of Labor
o Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
o Other Dept of Labor Agencies
· Findlaw Labor & Employment Law
· United States Code (from House of Rep. web site)
· Code of Federal Regulations (from GPO Access)
· Florida Constitution
· Florida Statutes
· Florida Administrative Code
· Miami-Dade County Code (from Municode)
Best of luck to you
Skye on 01/28/2007:
Thank you Lidman for helping this op out. I knew you would know where she should turn. I just hope she comes back to read what has been written.
Caliope on 01/28/2007:
If there were more employees fired for the same reasons I would gather them up and find a lawyer.
nolo.com and westlaw.com are very useful law sites. Good luck!
Anonymous on 01/29/2007:
Do what everyone else says get a lawyer, if you win, they have to pay you your normal wages and you don't even have to do any work.
Bababooey on 01/29/2007:
Thanks for the info, Lidman.
I'm sure that the OP will get results because that he/she is an "African-American".
However, we all know that if he/she was white, these government agencies wouldn't lift a finger to help!
It's funny how certain people in the "minority" community are only concerned about discrimination when they are its victims!
jktshff1 on 08/29/2007:
for once, it seems that someone posted a genuine discrimination post
good comments all

Poor Management - Lack Of Respect For A Patron
Posted by
LINTHICUM, MARYLAND -- I joined the pool membership at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Linthicum, MD. After a week of no heat, I called to speak to the Manager of this hotel and was treated with absolutely no respect and, in fact, was treated very rudely. I asked that I be informed when the pool would be fixed and was told that this was not his job and it would be done whenever.
I travel quite extensively and will make it a point to keep this chain of hotels (including the parent company - Hilton Hotels) in mind.

Quality of Service
Posted by
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA -- As an all-suites hotel, it should cater to families. However, breakfast service ends at 9:30am weekdays, far too early for families on vacation. The food quality is excellent, but the line for the food is quite long. At 9:30 all food service ends, so late-comers don't get fed. Not even a cup of coffee as so many other less expensive hotels offer in the lobby. If you want coffee you have to buy it or make it yourself.
Also, only wireless internet service is available for $10 a day in rooms, but connectivity is poor or non-existent. Other hotels offer it for free, and even offer ethernet connections. Not an option here.
The business center has 2 computers and a printer available, but you need a major credit card to use them.
This hotel is an OK value, but by no means fabulous. The suites are great for families with children, but the service and amenities are better suted to business people on an expense account. I'm not likely to recommend it to either type of traveller.

I always thought of these properties being geared more toward business travellers, not families.
poppapia on 08/22/2007:
I don't have a problem with them ending breakfast at 9:30, but it has always irritated me that they charge for internet access.
jktshff1 on 08/22/2007:
my kids never slept past 7:00 am on vacation
Anonymous on 08/22/2007:
You were dissatisfied with Doubletree and Embassy Suites, did you stay anywhere that you were pleased with? I've stayed at both chains and have had no real complaints or issues, though I agree with HJ about Embassy, they do seem to be more geared towards business travelers.
SS2 on 08/27/2007:
To justcuz:
I have been pleased with Hilton Garden Inn, but I can't get a suite with a door between the rooms. This is essential when kids get up early to watch cartoons, or teens stay up late to watch South Park! Marriott has many of the amenities I look for whether on business or with family. Since I own my business, it all comes out of different pockets, but on the same pair of pants!
Best Western took over Quality Suites where I used to stay. Better value as Quality Suites, although not of equal quality to most Hilton properties, yet almost as expensive.
I wasn't crazy for Amerisuites.
MsTavius on 03/30/2009:
What time does breakfast stop at Mcdonalds? How long do you expect breakfast to last? Get you and your lazy kids up. The world does not begin when you get up.
Jennabeans on 06/04/2009:
I stayed at the Embassy Suites in Kansas City, MO in April. I was also displeased with the internet costing money. We passed several cheap-looking hotels on the way with signs for free internet. I barely made the breakfast, but that was my own fault for staying out late at the Westport bars. My biggest complaint was the wait for the elevators. Holy smoke! Never before have I had to wait up to 15 minutes for the elevator. It was the worst on the last day at checkout time because when you finally got an elevator, it would stop at every floor. They should invest in a few extras...

Idk Dorothy. I was wondering the same thing. I did do a Google search for Star olive oil, and it lead me to their website + Facebook page. I signed up for their newsletter, so perhaps we'll get access to the coupon that way. :)

What is your current ringtone for your cell phone?
Mine is "I'm Not Jesus" by Apocalyptica ft Corey Taylor
What is your current ringtone for your cell phone?
Mine is "I'm Not Jesus" by Apocalyptica ft Corey Taylor
Evanescence - Tuna Afternoon
A short intro to the song 'The Only One' on their album 'The Open Door.'
It sounded funky so i cut it from the song and put it on my phone, and now i, in my own opinion, believe i have the coolest ringtone around town!
'And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be.'
placebo - a song to say goodbye
says much about my phone-habits
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
Ringtone = the ringtone on disturbia 'me so horny' song
text tone = family fortunes wrong answer buzzer
I gots a shit load of ringtones.
But my favorite ones are "I'm Lost Without You" which is assigned to my ex.
Slither which is for anyone who isn't in my contacts calling.
I also took the guitar solo from "I'm Not Okay" and made it into a ringtone. I don't like the song that much but that one part of the song sounds so kick ass and makes a great ringtone. I used to one for a while.
I don't have a cell phone. The landline at home is a blippy, beepy "ring".
Just your standard ring ring.
"Peppy Rock" by BTK
The Star Trek communicator boatswain whistle.
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
I'm boring.
It's the standard ringtone my phone came with.
I use Imogen Heap - Hide & Seek for special contacts.
I have the original stock Razr song from the first commercials being used for everyone else.
There are a lot of other songs for random people, but I don't want to be annoying and list them all.
oh come on you need to ask
look below and take a wild wild guess
I'm constantly changing my ringtones its In The Ayer right now, it was Handlebars by Flobots before, and before What Is it? by baby bash, I Kissed A Girl before that, Fake It by Seether before that.....
The theme song from the cartoon Super Chicken.
No, really!
"Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult is mine for all phone calls, and the solo piano piece Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin for text messages. I'm probably the ONLY person I know who has a piece of classical music for a text message ringtone.
Sexy Friday the 13th theme tone. It's the shit.
Viva La Vida
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Hump De Bump
A generic ringtone on my Helio Ocean. I like it. Plus I can hear the high pitch tones near the end from a mile away.
I use the "red phone" ringtone from the old spy spoof Our Man Flint.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -- Theodore Roosevelt
Underneath everything I guess I always dreamed I would be the one to take you away from all this wasted pain...
Depends, normally for my friends, I'll record them calling my name out loud and turn that into a ringtone.
For general calls, right now it's Violent Femmes "blister in the sun"
I alternate almost weekly between "Clarinet Polka" by Mary Schneider[/URL], Australia's Queen of Yodeling.
And "Telephone Man" by Meri Wilson.
Nothing is like anything else. Things are themselves entirely and do not need interpretation, only a minimal respect for their precise integrity.
Mine is -------------------------------------.
That's because it doesn't even ring! For some stupid reason, my calls are going straight to voicemail, then I MIGHT get a notification I got mail!
I'll see what my choices are when I get my Samsung Instinct phone tomorrow.
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing
Right now I've got Under Pressure with David Bowie, but usually I've got it blaring out the chorus to The B-52's Rock Lobster...
Wind Chime, nothing special.
"Alien dance"... Too cool
Even if we are just worm food then we are also the stuff stars are made of... I can live with that.
It scares the living shit out of me.
with tears in its eyes,
and a heart shaped hole on its sleeve
Mine is still Illinois, 'Nosebleed'
"I'm Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke some marijuana."
Warwick Ave. - Duffy
Rascal Flatts-what hurts the most
thats what it just was and now it is
Chris Young - Drinkin Me Lonely Tonight
Yes i do listen to country
40+ yeah I Break Backs
If Only Walls and my bed could talk ^_^
Goin' Under - Evanescence.
It's been my ringtone for almost 3 years, still don't get tired of it.
Don't Cry Out, Shiny Toy Guns.
The woody woodpecker theme as my nick name is woody cos of my surname
Who can it be now.....ohhhhh uhhhhh ohhhh
Kleerup & Titiyo - Longing for lullabies
I used to have Strangelove by Depeche Mode...
Then it was You Spin Me Round by Dead Or Alive...
Now it's this funky classical Chinese-sounding thing that came with my new phone 'cause I haven't gotten around to downloading any new ones yet.
It depends upon who is calling, if a message is left or if it's a text.
I think a Linkin Park song is my ringback.
Mine is just one of the standard options on the phone. It goes rrrring rrrring rrrring rrrring.
The chorus of "Drama Queen" by Switches.
just a regular 'ring' 'ring' pretty boring i know but it gets the job done
Thanks for your donations to Matthew Shepard. Total raised was over 10k. RIP Tyler.
The standard ringtone on my phone. It works.
With my new phone, the first choice is the old-fashioned ring of yesterday. Everyone teases me because I have a ringtone of the past when I have a phone of the future. I love it!
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing
mine is currently the time warp from rocky horror. before it was the chorus of "teenagers" by my chemical romance
my text message ringer is the transformers sound
Ting Ga Ling Ga Lo - Benny Hill
Me So Horny- Luke & The 2 Live Crew.
I remember one time over the summer, I was in church of all places and I accidently left my phone on. And as fate would have it cries of "Oh Me So Horny" echoed loudly off the church walls from my phone. Not one of my best moments but I still have it as my ringtone.
