We booked a business class room for one night... - Review of Radisson Blu Hotel, Leeds
“Not all that SASsy....”
DubaiDame
Having read other recent reviews my husband and I decided to stay at the Radisson SAS during a recent trip to Leeds.
We booked a business class room for one night which included breakfast. At £136 a night we didn’t think this was bad value.
The positives were a friendly welcome on checking in, a large clean room, convenient location right in the centre of Leeds and free broadband access.
For us the downsides were possibly most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, the TV not working properly and lack of the promised bathrobe and slippers. These were the things that we didn’t notice straight away. We arrived in the afternoon and promptly went out to meet friends in The Light for dinner. By the time we got back to our room it was a little too late to start complaining about the mattress that was very thin and far too soft, the TV not working properly (although there was a notice about the pay TV issues). I would have liked at least be able to change channels and alter the volume!
Then the following morning we went down to breakfast with around half an hour to spare before end of service. This I would not recommend because what was left was either solidified or very greasy if you wanted the hot food. Our order for coffee was taken and then we were ignored for about 10 minutes. There were only another 2 or 3 tables occupied at this point so nobody was rushed off their feet. Other guests were seated while we waited for our coffee and received their hot drinks. My husband had to ask again and finally our coffee arrived.
We have stayed in other Radisson hotels before and never been disappointed but on this occasion we were.
A few nights before this we’d stayed in a Travelodge and received a much nicer breakfast and far better value for money. The bed was comfy and the TV worked properly!
Would we stay at the Radisson SAS in Leeds again? No.

“nice room pity about the air-con”
“wouldn't stay anywhere else... (in Leeds)”
My other half booked this hotel for my birthday weekend & I was very impressed.
We stayed in a modern, minimalistic room (think it was called electric).
The hotel is within walking distance of the shops (5 mins) so great for shopaholics.
The hotel is in the city centre so you're in the middle of the nightlife so can be a little loud - but this was not an issue for us.
I would highly recommend a visit to ''Anthony's'' restaurant. We have eaten in some of London's top Restaurants (Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, The Square, The Cinamon Club etc) and really rated Anthony's.
Would also recommend a trip to the Gym/ Spa.

I stay in this hotel quite often when visiting Leeds and it is always excellent. My requests have always been met (early check-in etc) and the rooms are nice, clean with air-con/heating working correctly. Unless they do something drastically wrong I'll continue staying here after trying every other 4* and 5* hotel in Leeds. The one downside - £5 for a pint of lager in the bar is extortionate even by hotel standards. I'm glad my girlfriend was getting ready in the room or they may have ran a credit check before I got a white wine!

US 7587340 B2Abstract
A method and software apparatus for a short-bidding auction manager is disclosed. One embodiment allows potential buyers to submit short-bids, so named because they fall short of an auction seller's asking price, and collects the short-bids on behalf of the auction seller. Additionally, a buyer may submit a bid that is higher or lower than previous bids. While short-bids are below what is considered acceptable, such bids may be reviewed and individually accepted by the seller, but the highest short-bid is considered the best short-bid offered since the seller intends to realize the most money from the sale. Meanwhile, one embodiment waits for auction completion and automatically consummates transactions for the highest above asking price bid or bids but at any point in time during the auction, short-bids and/or acceptable bids so far may be consummated before the auction ends.
1. A method for electronically managing auctions at auction websites over the internet that include short-bidding, the method comprising:
at an auction website, creating an auction, which includes entering information about an item, setting a quantity for the item, and setting an asking price for the item, where the auction creating is performed via a seller user interface by a single seller at a first client computer;
placing a bid on the item, including setting a bid price, where the bid price may be any price regardless of the asking price for the item and regardless of any bid prices on other bids, if any, for the item, where the bid becomes a short-bid contract when the bid price is less than the asking price, and where the bid is placed via a bid creator user interface by any one of a potential number of purchasing bidders at a second client computer;
providing the seller with information on the short-bid contracts, if any, for the item, and receiving from the seller an indication of whether to accept any particular short-bid contract, where the providing and receiving are performed by the seller via a bid review user interface at the first client computer; and
at the auction website, executing a short-bid sale of the item in a particular short-bid contract upon receipt of the acceptance indication for the particular short-bid contract.
2. A medium readable by a computer containing instructions that when performed by the computer provide a method for electronically managing auctions that include short-bidding, the method comprising:
creating an auction, which includes entering information about an item, setting a quantity for the item, and setting an asking price for the item, where the auction creating is performed via a seller user interface by a single seller;
placing a bid on the item, including setting a bid price, where the bit price may be any price regardless of the asking price for the item and regardless of any bid prices on other bids, if any, for the item, where the bid becomes a short-bid contract when the bid price is less than the asking price, and where the bid is placed via a bid creator user interface by any one of a potential number of purchasing bidders;
providing the seller with information on the short-bid contracts, if any, for the item, and receiving from the seller an indication of whether to accept any particular short-bid contract, where the providing and receiving are performed by the seller via a bid review user interface; and
executing a short-bid sale of the item in a particular short-bid contract upon receipt of the acceptance indication for the particular short-bid contract.
3. A system for electronically managing auctions that include short-bidding, the system comprising:
a memory device to store sets of instructions; and at least one possessor coupled with the memory device to execute the set of instructions, wherein the sets of instructions cause the at least one processor to:
implement an auction creator user interface configured to allow a single seller to create an auction by entering information about an item, by setting a quantity for the item, and by setting an asking price for the item;
implement a bid creator user interface configured to allow each one of a plurality of purchasing bidders to place a bid on the item, and to set a bid price regardless of the asking price for the item and regardless of any bid prices on other bids for the item, and where when the bid price is less than the asking price then the bid becomes a short-bid contract;
implement a bid reviewer user interface configured to provide the seller with information on the short-bid contracts, if any, for the item, and to receive from the seller an indication of whether to accept any particular short-bid contract; and
implement a sale executor configured to execute a short-bid sale on the item in the particular short-bid contract when the bid reviewer receives the acceptance indication for a particular short-bid contract.
4. The system of claim 3, further comprising a bid manager configured to execute an asking price sale on the item when the bid price of any of the bids is at the asking price for the item.
5. The system of claim 4, further comprising an auction editor configured to allow the seller to modify the auction so that the asking price is lowered, and the bid manager sells the item to all short-bids that are now equal to or greater than the modified asking price.
6. The system of claim 3, where the auction creator further provides for sellers to create an auction in which the auction for a specific good lasts only for a specified time interval.
7. The system of claim 3 further comprising a notification manager that sends notification to the seller when one of the bids is created.
8. The system of claim 3, where the auction creator further provides for sellers to create an auction in which the auction runs until a last one of the items is sold or the seller terminates the auction.
9. The system of claim 3, further comprising a bid reviewer configured to allow the seller to review a history of the bids and the sales using a technique selected from a display filter, a sorting criteria, or both a display filter and a sorting criteria.
10. The system of claim 9, where the display filter is configured to allow the seller to select and deselect individual ones of the purchasing bidders.
11. The system of claim 9, where:
the bid creator further allows any of the purchasing bidders to specify what the bid price will be during each of a specific time period of the auction
the bid reviewer is further configured to provide information selected from one or more of:
i) the active bids;
ii) the expired bids; or
iii) the bids with prices specified for the time periods of the auction.
12. The system of claim 3, comprising a bid analyzer to provide information on how much revenue will be made on all transactions assuming acceptance of a selected one or more of the bids.
13. The system of claim 3, where the bid creator further allows any of the purchasing bidders to specify what the bid price will be during each of a specific time period of the auction.
14. The system of claim 3, further comprising an auction creator for sellers to create an auction on a specific downloadable electronic good with an infinite quantity. Description
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a Short-Bidding Auction Manager 100 enables sellers to know what potential buyers will pay for a good, real or electronic, and subsequently and immediately execute on that knowledge if and when desired. In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, the advantageously obtained knowledge is realized by providing the means to make each bid contractual and by providing the means to collect and track each bid so that some or all may be executed on at the seller's discretion.
The following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention employs the diagrams in FIG. 1 through FIG. 7. A typical embodiment of the present invention will comprise core internal subsystems shown in FIG. 1. Embodiments may employ any or all of, derivations of, or similar user interface screens (200 - 500) pictured in FIG. 2 through FIG. 5. Embodiments of the present invention employ some or all of the internal subsystems and database tables 700 that are illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7.
A Short-Bidding Auction Manager 100 fabricated in accordance with the present invention must have methods and apparatus for presenting interactive user interface screens. FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 depict a classic web application architecture where all the user interface screens are implemented as Java Servlets (102 - 105) (each group of user interface Servlets are depicted in the shape of a bean to represent “JavaBeans”) that are deployed in a Web ARchive or WAR file 101. These Java Servlet implementations (102 - 105) of user interface screens will render as web pages when users employ Web Browsers to access the Short-Bidding Auction Manager Web Server. Web application deployment and user interface screen implementation using Java Servlets are well-known by those skilled in the art. However, various embodiments may choose to deploy subsystems and user interface screens without web architectures. A web architecture is shown only for illustrative purposes.
A Short-Bidding Auction Manager fabricated in accordance with the present invention must have methods and apparatus for user account management. The user account manager 110 comprises a collection of user interfaces for registering as a new user, logging in, and editing one's user account details. One embodiment captures a human readable User ID that will identify each user as unique. These User IDs are the monikers employed to identify buyers and sellers in auctions. Most embodiments will also maintain name information and an email address. More elaborate embodiments may include mailing address and phone numbers. Embodiments that manage payments immediately will also take banking and/or credit card information. While FIG. 7 depicts a table for storing user accounts 701, user interface screens and a more detailed discussion of the user account infrastructure is not included here since methods and apparatus for user account management is well-known by those skilled in the art.
A Short-Bidding Auction Manager fabricated in accordance with the present invention provides sellers the ability to create new auctions for items using a user interface screen 200 like the one pictured in FIG. 2. One embodiment of the present invention employs this simple user interface screen. This user interface screen is basic and is largely composed of the typical screen components (201, 202, 204, 206, 208) found in auction creators that are familiar to those skilled in the art of auction software. More sophisticated embodiments may provide an ability to incorporate enhancements for an auction item posting during auction creation. Such enhancements might include the ability to add pictures or videos, HTML text, categorization and sub-categorization to assist buyer searches, and other enhancements familiar to those skilled in the art of auction posting.
The most notable screen components (FIG. 2) of this embodiment are the three checkboxes “forever” for duration, “infinite” for quantity, and “none” for price (205, 207, 209). Unlike typical auctions, auctions in the present invention can have a duration that lasts forever with a posted price but where short-bids are collected and potentially honored by the seller at any point in time during an indefinitely long period of time. The “infinite” quantity checkbox is employed for electronically downloadable goods where any number of purchases and subsequent downloads may take place. The “none” checkbox for price allows sellers to not have to post a price at all. In this case, all bids are considered short-bids such that all bids are subject to the acceptance of the seller.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a “show highest short-bids” checkbox 203, as shown in the bottom left of FIG. 2. This checkbox provides the seller a means for allowing bidders to see the highest short-bids that are currently not accepted. This can motivate potential purchasers to bid higher prices even though they plan to enter a short-bid. Embodiments may also choose to control whether or not the quantity requested of the highest short-bids is also to be displayed, or implement to always or never display quantity information.
One embodiment of the present invention provides methods and apparatus for recording any or all salient events about an auction such as when it was created, when it ended, bid statistics, sales statistics, when it was modified and what was modified. Such embodiments include user interface screens for reviewing auction history (704 and 705).
One embodiment of the present invention has an Auction Item Manager 106 like the one pictured in FIG. 1 that stores all of the information entered for an Auction Item during Auction Creation. The Auction Item Manager 106 inserts the new Auction for the Item in the “Auction Items” table when the “Start Auction” pushbutton 213 is depressed on the Auction Creator user interface screen of FIG. 1. The Auction Item is given a unique Auction ID which the auction item row of information is keyed on in the table.
One embodiment of the present invention will have an Email Notifier 112 like the one pictured in FIG. 1 that sends emails to auction users upon salient events that they need to be aware of.
One embodiment of the present invention employs a Bid Creator user interface screen 300 like the one depicted in FIG. 3. Here the buyer enters a bid 306 and a quantity 304 for the item auction item 301 desired. While FIG. 3 depicts a start 307 and end time 308 for the bid 309, the ability to enter a time interval may not be available in simpler embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 3 also shows a “Place Another Bid” pushbutton 310 which would allow embodiments with such a pushbutton to offer buyers a means for entering multiple bids where the bid changes depending on the time interval. Such embodiments recognize four distinct categories of bids: active bids (short-bids which are eligible for acceptance during their specified time interval), inactive expired bids (short-bids which were active but which are past their end time), inactive future bids (bids which will be active when the time reaches their start time), and successful bids (bids which have been accepted and have executed the corresponding sales transaction).
When a new bid is placed with the “Place Bid” pushbutton 309, one embodiment of the present invention invokes a Bid Manager 107 as shown in FIG. 1 to first check to see if the bid is equal to the price posted for the auction item. If it is, the Bid manager 107 recognizes that a sale must be executed immediately; otherwise the Bid Manager 107 collects the Bid by inserting it into a Bid record into the “Bids” table 703. One of the columns of this table consists of the Auction ID. This allows a JOIN operation to return a view of all of an Auction item's bids. Another column denotes the “Active Status” providing the means to filter out inactive bids that haven't become active yet.
One embodiment of the present invention stores each short-bid in a Bids Table 703 where each Bid record maintains an Auction ID column in order to view which specific bids belong to which specific auction.
One embodiment of the present invention provides methods and apparatus for recording every bid and writing them to the “Bid History” table 705 wherein one column of each written Bid History record contains the Auction ID it belongs to. Such embodiments also include user interface screens for reviewing bid history.
One embodiment of the present invention provides methods and apparatus for recording every sale executed in the “Bid History” Table 705. Such embodiments also include user interface screens for reviewing sales history.
One embodiment of the present invention employs a Sale Executor 108 as shown in FIG. 1 to execute a sale. Sale execution may follow the eBay model of notifying both the buyer and seller that the sale must now be contractually executed and that buyer must pay seller external to the auction website. Other embodiments may manage payment within the auction site by collecting payment from the buyer's credit card, bank account, or auction account and depositing the payment into the seller's credit card, bank account, or auction account. A sale may take place due to one of two types of events. The first event is when the buyer actually enters a bid equal to the posted price. The second event is when a seller at some point in time decides to accept a short-bid. This also triggers the Sale Executor 108 to perform the sale transaction. Embodiments with an Email Notifier 112 will send email to buyers and sellers when the sale transaction is completed.
Embodiments may provide infrastructure and user interface screens for allowing sellers and buyers to rate each other for their transactions once they complete (see 302, 405, 505). Such ratings must be stored in the auction database and be available for subsequent bidder or seller filtering. In particular, some sellers may want to sell or not sell to specific bidders based on their rating even when they submit an attractively high short-bid. Various approaches for transaction rating management are well-known to those skilled in the art.
One embodiment of the present invention comprises the ability to sell electronic goods. Embodiments may provide selling of electronic goods where sellers manage the electronic good download at a separate external site 210, or may provide an Electronic Goods Manager 601 as depicted in the extended internal subsystems diagram of FIG. 6. The Electronic Goods Manager 601 stores and retrieves electronic goods when the seller desires that the auction site manage the electronic good (211 and 212). Embodiments providing site management of electronic goods will store them in the Electronic Goods Database 602, also pictured in FIG. 6.
Embodiments of the present invention supporting electronically downloadable goods can include an URL in completed sales transaction email notifications so that the buyer can click on it to download the good. Such embodiments may incorporate security methods and apparatus to guarantee that only the specific buyer can access the download. Secure approaches include unique download IDs in the URL, requiring the use to login again with the unique downioad ID, and providing the downloadable electronic good for only a limited time. Various secure approaches may be employed and are familiar to those skilled in the art.
One embodiment of the present invention comprises a Bid Reviewer user interface screen 400 as shown in FIG. 4 that provides a seller of an auction the means to review any or all bids 405. Such embodiments provide methods and apparatus for filtering 402 and/or sorting 403 bids on an auction item. While FIG. 4 depicts simple editboxes for entering a filter 402 and sort expression 403, more elaborate embodiments may provide user friendly approaches comprising buttons or combobox lists with expressions, operators, and salient fields to search and sort on. Various approaches for user friendly filter and sort expression construction are well-known to those skilled in the art.
One embodiment of the present invention provides the seller an “update review list” pushbutton 404, as shown in FIG. 4, which is depressed once filter and/or sort expressions are set, wherein the list of bids satisfying the search expressions will be displayed on the right. Most embodiments should allow only past or current bids to be searchable. However, more sophisticated embodiments may provide search on inactive future bids depending on the privacy policy of the auction site with respect to a seller having access to a bidder's future plans. Most sellers will employ the Bid Reviewer user interface screen 400 to examine some or all short-bids as depicted on the right 405 of FIG. 4. As such, embodiments of the present invention will tend to incorporate the checkboxes 405 next to the bids and a “Sell” pushbutton 406 so that the seller can decide which short-bids to accept and executes sales transactions immediately. While FIG. 4 depicts specific information about each bid, different embodiments may choose to display any, all, or more information about each bid. Note that FIG. 4 also shows that more information about a bid may be displayed when a specific bid is selected (407 and 408). Those skilled in the art will realize that many approaches for the organization and presentation of bid information is available.
One embodiment of the present invention provides methods and apparatus for using the Email Notifier 112 to send updated short-bid reports periodically or when a new bid is submitted. Such embodiments may provide an additional short-bid review reports notification configuration user interface screen in order to establish the frequency and/or the configuration of the report.
One embodiment of the present invention comprises a Bid Analyzer user interface screen 500 as shown in FIG. 5 that provides a seller of an auction the means to analyze any or all bids 505. As with the Bid Reviewer user interface screen 400, such embodiments provide methods and apparatus for filtering 502 and/or sorting bids 503 on an auction item. While FIG. 5 depicts simple editboxes for entering a filter 502 and sort expression 503, more elaborate embodiments may provide user friendly approaches comprising buttons or combobox lists with expressions, operators, and salient fields to search and sort on. Various approaches for user friendly filter and sort expression construction are well-known to those skilled in the art.
One embodiment of the present invention provides the seller an “update analysis” pushbutton 504, as shown in FIG. 5, which is depressed once filter and/or sort expressions are set, wherein the list of bids satisfying the search expressions will be displayed on the right 505 and an analysis of revenue will be displayed on the bottom (506 and 507). While FIG. 5 depicts an embodiment that displays a list box of bids 506 with their quantities and project revenue along with a bar chart of revenue 507, other embodiments of the present invention may decide to provide analysis of a different measure, provide the ability to select one of several measures, and/or decide to provide totally different lists, graphs, and visuals for enhancing analysis.
One embodiment of the present invention links the Bid Analyzer user interface screen 500 to the Bid Reviewer screen 400 so that sales may be executed immediately after analysis.

- In The Crease: Hitchcock to the rescue
In his final of four seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, Jaroslav Halak forced himself into a timeshare with would-be incumbent Carey Price, which convinced the St. Louis Blues to trade for Halak and make him their starter.
The uncertainty regarding Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer continues, as he was not on the ice for practice Monday, and remains out for the "foreseeable future," according to TSN. Jonas Gustavsson and call-up Ben Scrivens have been picking up the work in Reimer's absence, but neither has done much to warrant consideration for fantasy purposes. ... "He's got a great future, and that's what we're all about," Florida Panthers GM Dale Tallon said of Jacob Markstrom, who the team shipped back to the AHL on Monday. With Scott Clemmensen returning from knee surgery, the Panthers will stick with him and Jose Theodore as their tandem of backstops for the near future at least. This will give Markstrom the chance to continue honing his skills at the AHL level instead of getting limited action with the two veterans also in town. Those in shallow leagues can drop the prospect for now. Those in keeper leagues and with deeper rosters, feel free to hang on; by this time next season (if not sooner, if a trade is transacted), Markstrom will likely be the team's No. 1. ... After four starts, Tuukka Rask finally got his first victory, as the Bruins exploded for five regulation goals and one empty-netter against the Islanders on Monday night. Rask's ratios are not what they were in seasons past, but these stats belie his talent level; he'll continue to be a nice spot-start on the nights when Tim Thomas gets a rest. ... Sticking with the useful backup theme, the Buffalo Sabres have finally found one in Jhonas Enroth (owned in just 17.7 percent of ESPN leagues), and he started two straight contests this past week, winning both with a combined SVP of .944. There's no goaltender controversy in Buffalo -- Ryan Miller is the No. 1, and will be for seasons to come -- but the team can now feel confident in using Enroth more, and he'll continue to provide value to fantasy owners with each appearance.

We very much enjoyed the location of the motel...so close to many good restaurants.The refreshments in the lobby were very nice.Compared to other Best Western Plus Hotels we've stayed in, this was only average at best.When I made the reservations I didn't see that it was pet friendly. After checking in, we saw that many of the guests had pets. I suppose I didn't check closely enough when making the reservation, but I had my daughter check and she didn't see it on the website either. I would not have stayed had I known.The other negatives: The drapes hung down over the AC/Heat unit so that you could not run it while the drapes were closed.Lots of loud, yelling guests who were slamming doors late at night.The dead bolt did NOT work. It had been shoddily installed and the bolt did not go into the frame of the door at all. Perhaps all the new doors had been installed incorrectly, I have no way of knowing...but if security is important to you, maybe you should check out the lock on your door before you get settled in.I did turn in a report on it.I took the survey that was sent to me by Best Western and got a form letter in return, simply saying that they wish I'd liked it better and to return another time!I consider that a negative.This was the last night of a 4000 mile trip, and was indeed the worst hotel on our trip.
Room Tip: Check your locks for correct installation before you settle in.

The service here is extraordinary. Everyone from the time we arrived until the moment we left was focused on making our stay comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. The coffee and iced tea which are constantly available in the lobby make a great, professional touch. I appreciated being able to pop down to the lobby for a great glass of iced tea. The room was quite clean, very spacious, and comfortable. We had two of our grandsons, and they loved the swimming pool. The heated pool was so nice since the outside temperature was about 40 degrees. This hotel is a very good value and is very nice and very professionally operated.My only suggestions would be to have juice and water dispensers in the breakfast room rather than pitchers. The drinks were not as cold as I would like. It might be nice to have boiled eggs available, too. I'm accustomed to a refrigerator in the room that gets really cold and has a small freezer compartment. I believe the mini-frig in our room was actually a drink cooler, and it really didn't get cold enough and had no control.But we loved our stay here, and our grandsons did also. Great job.

We stayed two times, late March 2013 and early April 2013. Both times we had a “Suite – 1 King Bed”. (Note: This is not a true suite with two rooms, but one room with a 3 foot wide partial divider.)The good stuff: The price we received on the BW web site was a good value. Both rooms we had were clean and as advertised on the web site with micro & mini fridge. The hotel has been newly renovated (late 2012) and is smoke-free. The pictures on the Best Western web site are accurate. The not so good stuff:We had poor check-in experiences on both visits. On the first, there was no one at the desk but there was a sign saying to call. Upon calling, the clerk said she would be there soon. After I waited and she returned, she continued to enter stuff in her computer for the person she had been dealing with. I continued to wait. There was some confusion about getting a quiet room. On a good note, the clerk was helpful and pleasant to deal with once she gave me her attention. Check-in for the 2nd visit was worse. Two clerks spent ages trying to answer questions from another customer about her points, reservations at this location, availability at a another BW, etc. Apparently there was only one computer available for the two clerks, so it was impossible for the 2nd person to take care of me while the first took care of the other guest. I stood around until I finally spoke up and asked if someone could just check me in. It all took ages. Perhaps some of the “staff problems” were caused by the newness of the hotel. In addition to no check-in person available on the first visit, they were short-handed and overwhelmed with the large group of guests at breakfast (it was spring-break). On the second visit the employees appeared to be newly employed and inexperienced. Neither one knew their way around the computer system. Though the hotel has just been remodeled, the workmanship is (as another reviewer said) "shoddy". For example, in both of our rooms, the grout on the bathroom floors was slopped up on the walls. In our 2nd room, a lamp on one table was not working (the chain on the switch was torn off). Also, when we checked in and received keys to the 2nd room, we found the door to our room propped open and a “Please Clean” sign on it. We were hesitant to go in, but it did appear to be OK. The sleep timer for the TV did not work on either of our two visits. Although the heat worked fine in the rooms, both bathrooms were cold.On both occasions we had to go to the front desk and ask for a copy of the bill when we checked out. They did this willingly and nicely, but why have to ask? Most hotels slip it under your door on check-out day – a much nicer business practice.
Room Tip: Ask for a quiet room as the hotel is at the intersection of two fairly busy streets. Room 131 was go...

My husband, dog and I are driving from Maryland to California . This second day of our journey landed us in Salina. This Best Western hotel is up there in my top ten Best Westerns which is saying a lot since we travel across the country fairly often. Lonni and Larry were very helpful, professional and courteous. The bed was super comfortable and the bedding was quite nice. Sheets were above average....NOT thin, worn or pilled. The towels were thick and nice sized. The room was impeccably clean as was the lobby. The only thing that could use some improvement are the grounds and since the hotel is only four months old hopefully they will figure that out. There is a need for a few garbage cans (especially near the side exit doors) around the property as there was a bit of litter....nothing bad. And a doggie clean up station would be most welcome. People should clean up after their pets and pet stations are helpful in encouraging others to do so!Salina proved to be a wonderful stop. A very cool town....completely unexpected. And the tripadvisor restaurant reviews for Martinellis were right on the money. Good food, lots of it and very reasonably priced. I will absolutely return to this Best Western!!

I stayed the night here for a halfway stop on my journey from Oklahoma to Wyoming. The room was incredibly nice, and the staff was very welcoming and helpful in giving great suggestions for places to eat in town. The breakfast is not the typical bagels and cereal that you find at other low budget hotels - they offer bacon, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, fruits, and juices. Overall I was very impressed with what was offered for the price.

We stayed at the Best Western Plus in Salina a halfway point driving out to visit family in Colorado. This hotel is very nice and has been recently remodeled. Although it is a Best Western, the facility is as nice as any Hampton or Holiday Inn Express, but at Best Western prices. We only intended to stay one night and be on our way, but a big snowstorm shut down I-70 and we had to stay an extra night until they opened the interstate. The front desk staff was very helpful in finding us some things for the kids to do in town while we spent a day in Salina, which is a very nice little town. If you plan to go in the pool and use the cool little water slide, then bring goggles because the water has a very strong cholrine content, which is a good thing for a hotel pool, but tough on the kids' eyes. The hotel manager was the ditrict manager who was there to fill in, and she was on top of things and had the place running smoothly. After she left, the chubby desk clerk was a little more laid back and was more interested in the breakfast bar than the front desk, but it was more amusing than annoying. All in all a very nice stay here and I would recommend it.
Room Tip: Bring goggles for the pool.

See comment in PubMed Commons belowEur J Pharmacol. 2003 Oct 31;479(1-3):83-91.The effect of phosphorylation on amphetamine-mediated outward transport.Gnegy ME1.Author information1Department of Pharmacology, University of Michigan Medical School, 2220E MSRB III, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-0632, USA. pgnegy@umich.eduAbstractAmphetamine elicits its locomotor-activating and drug-reinforcing effects by releasing the catecholamines dopamine and norepinephrine into the synapse. Amphetamine is a substrate of the plasmalemmal transporters for both dopamine and norepinephrine. As such, it binds to the transporters in conjunction with Na+ and Cl-, facilitating a conformational change leading the transporter to face inward. The subsequent binding of intracellular catecholamine results in an outward transport and release of the catecholamine into the synapse. Both inward and outward transport through the catecholamine transporters are regulated by protein kinases, particularly protein kinase C, but the effect of the enzyme on the two processes appears to be asymmetric. The purpose of this review is to discuss the evidence showing that protein kinase C activation facilitates outward transport through the catecholamine plasmalemmal transporters which may mediate amphetamine action in intact tissue.PMID: 14612140 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] SharePublication Types, MeSH Terms, Substances, Grant SupportPublication TypesResearch Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.ReviewMeSH TermsAmphetamine/metabolism*Amphetamine/pharmacology*AnimalsDopamine/metabolismHumansMembrane Transport Proteins/metabolism*Phosphorylation/drug effectsProtein Kinase C/metabolismSubstancesMembrane Transport ProteinsAmphetamineProtein Kinase CDopamineGrant SupportDA11697/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/United StatesDA13417/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/United StatesLinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesElsevier ScienceOvid Technologies, Inc.Other Literature SourcesCOS Scholar UniverseAccess more work from the authors - ResearchGateMiscellaneousDOPAMINE - Hazardous Substances Data BankAMPHETAMINE - Hazardous Substances Data BankPubMed Commons home

Welcome to TA Josephine. May I suggest you read the Top Questions in the Los Angeles Forum and get to the forum. The top questions there are brillant and can help you decide what to do and where to stay If you search Warner Bros, I bet you, there is a wealth of info you can find in the Los Angeles forum. Trust me, plenty of info with just a search or two and by reading the top questions. If you still have more, please post and tell them what else you are planing to do and see and if you will have a car. They can then help you more if you provide more details. A budget can help as well (per night in US$)

Find A Grave: Maryknoll Cemetery
Maryknoll CemeteryAlso known as: Maryknoll Society Cemetery
55 Ryder RoadOssiningWestchester CountyNew York USAPostal Code: 10545Phone: (914) 941-4240Search Maryknoll Cemetery: First NameLast Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:The cemetery is located on the grounds of the Maryknoll Seminary compound. It is set on a sloping hillside overlooking a forrested vista. There are 2 sections, with a portion of the lower section containing some graves of the Maryknoll Sisters who later established their own burial ground across the road.
After a short stay in their original headquarters in Hawthorne, New York, Father Walsh and Father Price set up the training ground for their young missioners seminary on a hilltop farm in nearby Ossining. In doing this, they invoked the intercession of the Blessed Mother, and called their location �Mary�s knoll� which in time became "Maryknoll". In 1920, construction of the Maryknoll seminary began and was finally completed in the 1950s.
Father Price made an around-the-country tour of America to gain support for the new endeavor. Before it had its first seminarian, one young man applied who felt called to mission but not priesthood. Thomas McCann became the first Maryknoll Brother in 1912. By 1918, three young priests � Frs. James E. Walsh (not related to Fr. James A.Walsh), Francis X. Ford, and Bernard F. Meyer) were ready for the foreign missions in China, just after the first world war. Price went with them as superior to the new missions, but died the following year.
The mission soon expanded to include northern China and Korea. As war or unrest made mission impossible in one area, Maryknoll went to other regions: Latin America in 1942 and Africa in 1946, just as these continents entered eras of military conflict and social upheaval. Today there are over 475 Maryknoll Priests and Brothers serving in countries around the world, principally in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Over 10 decades, more than 2,000 men have been ordained to the missionary priesthood, and several hundred have taken oaths as Brothers. The areas in which Maryknollers serve have been affected by World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and other conflicts around the globe. Maryknollers have been imprisoned, tortured and killed. But the enthusiastic and joyful dedication of Maryknollers to their apostolic calling has never diminished as they carry the Gospel to Africa, Asia and Latin America.Links  View all interments (629)

9780852742723: RPL Dosimetry, Radiophotoluminescence in Health Physics (Medical Science) - AbeBooks: 085274272X
RPL Dosimetry, Radiophotoluminescence in Health Physics (Medical Science)
ISBN 13: 9780852742723
ISBN 10: 085274272X ISBN 13: 9780852742723
The use of luminescence phenomena for measurement and analytical purposes involves many different processes, materials, and techniques. The fundamental process of energy absorption, storage, and release can take a number of forms, many that are not fully understood and others that have yet to be developed. Radiophotoluminescence (RPL) is particularly suitable for the measurement of absorbed dose resulting from interactions with ionising radiations.
The luminescence phenomena described in RPL Dosimetry: Radiophotoluminescence in Health Physics are those that are most likely to be of practical use. The book examines the phenomena of RPL (from within the context of solid-state "trap" physics) and proceeds to describe particular materials that exhibit the necessary fluorescence, their behavior and dosimetric properties, and the wide range of alternative measurement techniques that may be applied to them in a variety of monitoring environments. The emphasis is primarily on implementation in health physics as a personal and environmental monitor, and particular reference is made to the use of RPL as a research tool for radiotherapy treatment planning and in the context of civil defense. The author reviews the design, operation, and basic operational principles of some of the readers currently in service or being developed. The book also considers logistics of operating small and large monitoring services, and there is a useful comparison among glass, thermoluminescence, and film methods of dosimetry to enable potential users to evaluate the merits of each from a theoretical and practical viewpoint.
"Useful and readable book can be recommend to anyone interested in radiation dosimetry." "Certainly most medical physicists, and many radiation physicists, are unfamiliar with RPL. Only by obtaining a copy of the book will they be able to judge whether Perry's optimism is justified." -- British Journal of Radiology, December 1988.
"interesting and lucid book provides an up-to-date review of RPL, including recent advancements". -- RAD, October 1988

Taking out the evolution part you retards, it was proven false by Shane Maxey, the great scientist of Maryland[citation needed]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.228.179.68 (talk) 04:22, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
So there is now no evolution section on arachnids? This is silly. Please add an evolution section. Fig (talk) 10:39, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Searchable and readable[edit]
My additions are a laywoman's attempt to organize what I'm finding on the web as I fill in basic articles on the arachnids, and to make it searchable and readable for other laymen. Experts, please correct me where I have erred! Catherine
The only thing I have issues with is that I thought they were all poisonous, every single one. This might be an urban legend though... Tuf-Kat
Pseudoscorpiones[edit]
Shouldn't it be "pseudoscorpions"?69.133.143.122 00:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Red vs. pink[edit]
What's going on with this red X pink futile struggle? Is this guy doing it on purpose to vandalize or he is just unaware of the color convention of the taxoboxes? Vae victis 22:25, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
We should be cautious about phrases such as cephalothorax is formed by fusion of a cephalon plus thorax. There is no evidence that Chelicerate ancestors ever had a thorax. There is no post-cephalic tagmosis reported in the Arachnata. We should rather say something like: the cftx is formed by the anteriormost trunk segments fused to the head and serves to sensory and locomotory functions. Vae victis 01:39, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
8 legs?[edit]
At least mites, daddy longlegs, uropygids and some spiders are not poisonous (that's what I found browsing around). Should it be added that almost all arachnids have 8 legs? The only exception I found is that occassionally the front-most pair is converted to sensory function.
Aragorn2 15:43, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Nymph link[edit]
The link nymphs connects to the mythological nymph rather than biological one. I'd fix it, but I don't know how. :/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.19.80.47 (talk • contribs) 00:11, 3 September 2004.
Thanks for the note, it's fixed now. Rl 18:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
Developed by Max Vision's White Hats, ArachNIDS is an attack profile database used to dynamically create signatures which are compatible with various Network IDS. I'm not sure whether to consider it spam. Maybe it's useful for something, but it certainly does not make a good first paragraph for this article. Rl 18:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
I also perceive this as spam. Vae victis 01:43, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm removing the {{Image requested}} template because I've added images from other articles. You may want to add other images as the article gets longer and has more space for them. delldot | talk 18:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Usually lay eggs?[edit]
Does this mean there are some arachnids that do not lay eggs, and rather use some other mechanism? Which are they? They sound interesting to me... -JC 02:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
AFAIK, in some arachnids, the eggs hatch inside the mother (sometimes killing the mother in the process) Jalwikip 10:57, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Ethymology of 'Arachnids'[edit]
The article says 'Arachnids are named after the mythological figure Arachne.' However, the linked article on Arachne says 'Arachne's name simply means "spider" (αράχνη)'. So I find it much more likely the name of the class is derived from the Greek word for spider. Can anyone please confirm? I'd like to change it, but I must be sure. Jalwikip 11:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I won't go as far as remove the Arachne link, but I added her name means "spider". Jalwikip (talk) 15:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Inconsistency between Orders and phylogeny?[edit]
I was reading this article today - very nicely written by the way - and I noticed several inconsistencies that I thought I would point out and let someone else correct (since this is not my article I didn't want to do it). I hope I'm not being to forward or nasty - I'm only trying to improve the article.
The systematics are listed like this:
* 2.1 Acarina
* 2.2 Amblypygi
* 2.3 Araneae
* 2.4 Haptopoda
* 2.5 Opiliones
* 2.6 Palpigradi
* 2.7 Phalangiotarbida
* 2.8 Pseudoscorpions
* 2.9 Ricinulei
* 2.10 Schizomida
* 2.11 Scorpions
* 2.12 Solifugae
* 2.13 Trigonotarbida
* 2.14 Uropygi
However, the phylogenetic tree looks like this: †Trilobita Xiphosura Eurypterida Arachnida Scorpiones Opiliones Pseudoscorpiones Solifugae Acari Palpigradi Pycnogonida †Trigonotarbida Ricinulei Araneae Amblypygi Uropygi Schizomida
Thus, by my reckoning (and assuming the † is a reference to extinct), the following corrections should be made: 1) Acarina should be made consistent with Acari - no preference which. 2) Haptopoda needs a place on the phylogenetic tree. 3) Phalangiotarbi needs a place on the phylogenetic tree. 4) Trilobita probably deserves it's own section in the main article given it's distinct order. 5) Xiphosura, due to it's position in the phylogenetic tree, probably also deserves it's own section in the main article. 6) Eurypterida, due to it's position in the phylogenetic tree, probably also deserves it's own section in the main article. 7) Eurypterida probably should be indicated as extinct with the †, based on the article it is linked to.
Cheers, and thanks for taking the time to write such a great article.

Limb regerenation[edit]
I'm not sure if this is common to all arachnids, or only certain species, but apparently young spiders can regenerate lost limbs. This seems to be a notable feature. siℓℓy rabbit (talk) 05:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I've just made serious revisions to Chelicerate (start-class, I'll submit it for GA review when I've written a lead) and Spider (threatened with loss of its GA status due to lack of refs). Arachnid is in better shape than the other 2 were (B-class) but takes a different approach from the one that comes naturally to me, so I'm reluctant to charge in (my main interest is paleontology, so body plan, fossil record and phylogeny tend to be my focus). However I think Chelicerate and Spider have some content and refs that might be useful in Arachnid - feel free to copy and adapt. -- Philcha (talk) 11:40, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
This link- http://marlonstein.com/fotos/album/Aracnideos/ should be removed, with few photos without proper descriptions 62.121.89.177 (talk) 16:22, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
I think that there should be either a small section or just a mention of arachnophobia, being that it is the most common phobia in the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.41.125.72 (talk) 07:01, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
10 legs[edit]
Similar how the 8 leg comment says "occasionally the front-most pair is converted to sensory function." Occasionally other organs can grow large enough to look like an extra pair of legs too, like in Solifugae. Considering there's a thousand described species, I think it's worth an extra sentence, if you disagree, feel free to revert me.. Vespine (talk) 21:55, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Well, I've put the sentence in, but I'm not sure if it reads a little clunky. If someone wants to have a crack at smoothing it out a bit, please go ahead. Vespine (talk) 23:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
A leg is typically defined by its function, not its appearance. Plenty of spiders look like they have 10 legs (tarantulas), but they are still described as having 8 legs. Many jumping spiders use their front legs for sensory functions, but they still walk with them as well. Unless you know of a reliable source that says otherwise, I would prefer to stick with the 8 leg wording. Kaldari (talk) 23:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
It seems to me that this article is ready for a GA review; it looks like a "good article" to me. After reviewing the nomination procedure, I chickened out - but still recommend. ~E 74.60.29.141 (talk) 17:29, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Lamarck 1801[edit]
How comes the english Wikipedia credits Lamarck 1801 instead of Cuvier 1812? Are there any sources for that? I would go rather with something like this Animal Biodiversity, Magnolia press 2011. In many other sites: (French, German,... Wikipedia, WoRMS, Cuvier is mentioned. What am i missing here? If there are valid reasons why Lamarck has to be preferred, then Wikipedia sites in other languages could go with that as well. Or just mention both of them. Though, i found that source which suggests Lamarck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhilippMontazem (talk • contribs) 16:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Problems with the Systematics section[edit]
I have serious concerns about the Systematics section of the article.
There is no source given for the classification used at the start. A range of different classifications will be found in the current literature: whose is this one?
The phylogenetic tree says "after Giribet et al. 2002", but there's no actual reference. If this paper is Giribet, G; Edgecombe, GD; Wheeler, WC & Babbitt, C (2002), "Phylogeny and systematic position of Opiliones: a combined analysis of chelicerate relationships using morphological and molecular data", Cladistics, 18: 5–70, doi:10.1006/clad.2001.0185 , then:
The paper contains more than one tree.
The one in the article isn't the one chosen by others who used Giribet et al. (2002) as a source, including Sharma, Prashant P.; Kaluziak, Stefan T.; Pérez-Porro, Alicia R.; González, Vanessa L.; Hormiga, Gustavo; Wheeler, Ward C.; Giribet, Gonzalo (2014), "Phylogenomic Interrogation of Arachnida Reveals Systemic Conflicts in Phylogenetic Signal", Molecular Biology and Evolution, 31 (11): 2963–2984, doi:10.1093/molbev/msu235 which has Giribet as a co-author. The difference isn't trivial: the tree in the article shows a monophyletic Acari, but the usual summary of Giribet et al. (2002) shows that Acariformes and Parasitiformes are far apart.
The most recent paper on the phylogeny of the Arachnida is Sharma et al. (2014) cited above. It concludes that "Topological conflict at the base of Arachnida is retained among gene trees across data sets, regardless of evolutionary rate or minimization of missing data." Thus there is no overall current consensus as to the phylogeny of Arachnida, let alone the one shown.
I'm not quite sure at present how to fix these problems; I'm hoping that editors who worked on this article and have more expertise than I do are watching this talk page. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:33, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
All vs Almost All, and being consistent[edit]
Did anybody else notice that the second sentence says "All arachnids have eight legs," while the very first sentence of the first section (anatomy) starts off with "Almost all adult arachnids have eight legs." Even though the second sentence of the article comes with the qualifier that the front legs have become sensory appendages, it still implies that those sensory appendages are part of the count to eight. That would mean that "all" and "almost all" are mutually exclusive in their contexts. May I recommend that the second sentence of the article be changed to "Almost all arachnids have eight legs?" It's notable that mites, though all arachnids, sometimes have six or even four legs, depending on the subspecies. So "Almost all" is the correct qualifier. 50.165.125.242 (talk) 14:47, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Arachnid/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
I rated this article "start-class" because it could do with A LOT more material. Some might say that all the necessary material can be found on other articles such as spider, scorpion, etc., but a summary of the important traits of the lower taxa (and in particular the common traits of all arachnids that can be seen in each group) with a link to the main article would be good. As it is, this article does not provide a great deal of information for those who are looking for general information about arachnids. It also lacks images. IronChris

Jack of Spades (Audiobook) by Joyce Carol Oates | Audible.com
Andrew J. Rush has achieved the kind of critical and commercial success most authors only dream about: his 28 mystery novels have sold millions of copies in nearly 30 countries, and he has a top agent and publisher in New York. He also has a loving wife, three grown children, and is a well-regarded philanthropist in his small New Jersey town. But Rush is hiding a dark secret. Under the pseudonym "Jack of Spades", he writes another string of novels - dark potboilers that are violent, lurid, even masochistic. These are novels that the refined, upstanding Andrew Rush wouldn't be seen reading, let alone writing. Until one day, his daughter comes across a Jack of Spades novel that he has carelessly left out and begins to ask questions. Meanwhile, Rush receives a court summons in the mail explaining that a local woman has accused him of plagiarizing her own self-published fiction. Rush's reputation, career, and family life all come under threat - and unbidden, in the back of his mind, the Jack of Spades starts thinking ever more evil thoughts.

"A writer of extraordinary strengths." ( The Guardian)
It takes courage for an artist to experiment with an unfamiliar medium -- and it is particularly remarkable for a writer of such note to experiment in another genre with such entertaining results! Whatever the author 's intent might have been, the story works on multiple levels in portraying small towns and their elites, private schools, Jaguars, writers, writers' attitudes toward other writers, writers' publishers, publishers' attorneys, black cats, family dynamics in general, spousal debts, deconstructionist criticism, narcissism, and so much more.
In large part because of the narrator, Jack of Spades not only makes a presentable showing when taken at face value, but is rip-roaring hilarious as a caricature of a genre I love in spite of itself and mine.
My only disappointment is in who ultimately prevails, but in fairness, I may just be resistant to happy endings.
Reads like the plot to an old "Twilight Zone" episode.
I liked the characters and felt their neurosis kick in. I know people like this on all sides.
Moved at a great pace with a nice rhythm.
Very well written suspense.
Yes. Because it was so interesting. And so full of suspense.
Ms Oates never disappoints!
As always, compelling, chilling and impossible to rest until finished. Well written and expertly performed. We are left wondering if there is a dark side in us that is waiting to emerge....and then what.
