—"Stop! Don't touch that tree!"
I quickly step back and slip in a cow patty. My glasses are full of little prisms from drops of perspiration and they make me dizzy. My clothes are soaked and my legs are full of lactic acid.
—"That tree in front of you is an Alubillo tree,I think, and very toxic. You don't even have to touch it to be in trouble."
My orchid hunting companion, Lou Jost, explains what can happen, and it sounds terrible with all kinds of pain involved. He adds that the tree also affects certain body parts in a most remarkable way…and in order to avoid the complications you need to take off your hat and humbly ask the tree "how do you do?"
I have no problem with that, besides, it is lunchtime and with fumbling fingers I manage to splash the greasy contents of a can of tuna in my lap. We eat in silence, fish and bread, flushed down with warm water. The view over the Pastaza Valley is incredible, with the small settlement of Rio Negro in the distance. This is prime orchid habitat and quite possibly one of the richest places on earth in terms of biodiversity. People have come here for centuries, searching for exotic plants and animals in general and orchids in particular. Lou tells me that the valley has a high level of endemism (higher than the Galapagos), meaning that certain plants and animals are known from here and nowhere else. The area is also amazingly poorly explored because of the rugged terrain with inhospitable mountains, covered by lush cloud forest. WWF calls this valley a "Gift to the Earth", Lou Jost calls it his home and has discovered a large number of new orchid species in the last few years.
—"You've got to be nuts to do this!" I say between the bites.
—"Yup!" comes a response from my side.
We have climbed the mucky trail as far as it goes and reached a mobile-phone antenna of all things. From here on we have to improvise. The logical choice is a narrow and steep ridge that disappears somewhere in the clouds. The alternatives are too dense and uncertain to even consider, so we start climbing the ridge. It becomes easier than we expected because it forms a natural trail. My tongue soon feels like a baseball again. I want to drink but there is no water up ahead so I have to save as much as possible, making it heavier to climb, which makes me perspire more, and so on. I try not to think about it and to focus on the luscious surroundings instead. There are orchids everywhere, mostly Pleurothallids but also Odontoglossums, Maxillarias, Epidendrums etc. Suddenly my eyes subconsciously react to a particular leaf shape and I stare at a huge Masdevallia without flowers. I am not familiar with any species of this size and shape from the area so we collect some plants for cultivation. The bags get heavier and it begins to rain.
This is a typical day in the life of an orchid hunter. It involves lots of hard work and some risks but also overwhelming rewards. When we eventually return, slipping and sliding down the ridge, I dash straight into the darned tree and smear the leaves all over my face. I try to convince my immune system that it really is just an ordinary tree, and that I did in fact take my hat off! Lou says that I will know for sure tomorrow morning when I go to the bathroom. Yikes!

Tracking Blood Sugar with Nano-TattoosPosted: Sunday, June 06, 2010
Chemical engineers are working on carbon nanotubes that could be injected under the skin to reveal blood glucose levels.
People with diabetes must prick their fingers several times a day to test their blood sugar level. Though the pain is minor, the chore interferes with daily life.
"They never really escape it," says Paul Barone, a postdoctoral researcher in MIT's Department of Chemical Engineering. Barone and professor Michael Strano are working on a new type of blood glucose monitor that could not only eliminate the need for finger pricks but also offer more accurate readings.
"Diabetes is an enormous problem, global in scope, and despite decades of engineering advances, our ability to accurately measure glucose in the human body still remains quite primitive," says Strano, the Charles and Hilda Roddey Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering. "It is a life-and-death issue for a growing number of people."
Strano and Barone's sensing system consists of a "tattoo" of nanoparticles designed to detect glucose, injected below the skin. A device similar to a wristwatch would be worn over the tattoo, displaying the patient's glucose levels.
A 2008 study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that continuous monitoring helped adult Type 1 diabetes patients who were at least 25 years old better control their blood glucose levels. However, existing wearable devices are not as accurate as the finger-prick test and have to be recalibrated once or twice a day -- a process that still involves pricking the finger.
Most existing continuous glucose sensors work via an injection of an enzyme called glucose oxidase, which breaks down glucose. An electrode placed on the skin interacts with a by-product of that reaction, hydrogen peroxide, allowing glucose levels to be indirectly measured. However, none of those sensors have been approved for use longer than seven days at a time.
The technology behind the MIT sensor, described in a December 2009 issue of ACS Nano, is fundamentally different from existing sensors, says Strano. The sensor is based on carbon nanotubes wrapped in a polymer that is sensitive to glucose concentrations. When this sensor encounters glucose, the nanotubes fluoresce, which can be detected by shining near-infrared light on them. Measuring the amount of fluorescence reveals the concentration of glucose.
The researchers plan to create an "ink" of these nanoparticles suspended in a saline solution that could be injected under the skin like a tattoo. The "tattoo" would last for a specified length of time, probably six months, before needing to be refreshed.
To get glucose readings, the patient would wear a monitor that shines near-infrared light on the tattoo and detects the resulting fluorescence. One advantage of this type of sensor is that, unlike some fluorescent molecules, carbon nanotubes aren't destroyed by light exposure. "You can shine the light as long as you want, and the intensity won't change," says Barone. Because of this, the sensor can give continuous readings.
Barone and Strano are now working to improve the accuracy of their sensor. Any glucose monitor must pass a test known as the Clarke Error Grid, the gold standard for glucose-sensor accuracy. The test, which compares sensor results to results from a lab-based glucose meter, needs to be very stringent, since mistakes in glucose detection can be fatal.
They are still years away from human trials, says Barone, but they may soon start trials in animals. Those tests will be key to determining the value of this approach, says Bruce Buckingham, a professor of pediatric endocrinology at the Stanford School of Medicine and an author of the NEJM study. "You don't know how good it will be until you put it in someone and see how strong the signal is," he says.

There are so many things to do in the Dominican Republic – you'll be spoilt for choice. This colourful destination provides the perfect balance between relaxation, culture and adventure.
Whatever your holiday type, the spectacular beaches will play a big part in your Dominican Republic getaway. From exciting water sports to outdoor spa treatments and thrilling speedboat experiences, it will provide an idyllic backdrop. Hire a car or challenge yourself with a round of golf at the world-renowned Teeth of the Dog course. Take a day excursion to Santo Domingo and learn about the vibrant culture and fascinating history or slow down the pace with a visit to El Cortecito, a small fishing village with a lively artisan market.
Shopping in the Dominican Republic is diverse to say the least, with the combination of shopping malls, open-air markets and souvenir shops creating a unique experience. You'll find many authentic Dominican Arts and Crafts, ranging from native paintings to jewellery, featuring the exquisite blue Larimar stone. Pick up hand-made cigars in Punta Cana or one of the islands faceless dolls.
It's hard to resist the appeal of the flawless beaches and turquoise waters, whether you are snorkelling, sailing or just taking a dip. Take a boat trip to Saona Island, visit Altos de Chavon, a re-creation of a medieval European village or practice your swing with a round of golf.
With an unlikely blend of influences, Dominican cuisine is inspired by European, African, Native, Indian and Taino cultures. As a former Spanish colony, you can expect delicious dishes with a Latin American feel and a unique twist. Try Monfongo, Mangu and Locrio, washed down with a glass of Mamajuana.
You'll find plenty of ways to let your hair down, whether you fancy trying your luck in one of the casinos or partying in a nightclub. Embrace the Latino vibe and sample local rum as you learn the Merengue or enjoy a night spent at ORO, Hard Rock Hotel's cutting-edge nightclub.
The spectacular beaches are perhaps one of the Dominican Republic's most prominent features, with Bavaro Beach seen as one of the best in the Caribbean. Stay in a carefully selected hotel in Punta Cana with a private beach area or explore the coral reef at the quieter Uvero Alto beach.
Relax on the beach, enjoy the crystalline waters or explore the tropical surrounds on a relaxing catamaran cruise to Saona Island. Your first stop on the catamaran cruise will be for a cocktail at the amazing 'Natural Pool' lagoon, famous for its abundance of starfish. Continue to Saona Island by speedboat for a barbeque lunch, served buffet-style under the shade of palm trees. The rest of the day is up to you - spend a couple hours of leisure on Saona Island swimming, Merengue dancing or simply relaxing with a drink in hand.
Join a unique tour of the Dominican Republic on an 8x8 Monster Truck Safari and visit backcountry roads, sugar cane fields and an authentic Dominican school. Go where the tour buses cannot as you enter the depths of the island, exploring the unspoiled Dominican countryside. Visit small colourful villages and see how the local people live. Relax and enjoy a swim in the refreshing waters of the river before heading back to your hotel with a whole new perspective on Dominican history and culture.
Sail along the Dominican coastline, enjoy a delicious lunch and snorkel in the pristine waters that Punta Cana is known for. With plenty of onboard entertainment, this family friendly cruise in the Dominican Republic is fun for everyone. Start your day with a visit to the wreck of the Astron, a sunken freighter that lies in shallow water close to the shore. Cruise to a natural swimming pool where you will have time to relax, swim or have fun on the biggest slide in Bavaro. Later you can enjoy a drink while swimming in waist deep water with a floating bar on hand.
Experience an aquatic adventure as you drive your own speedboat on a James Bond style ride. Follow the leader along the beaches of Bavaro, with your journey ending at a snorkelling platform. Dive into the clear water to see underwater coral, fish and sea life of all colours. The speedboat ride is supervised by professional guides at all times to ensure your safety and comfort, allowing you to relax and enjoy the thrill ride of your life.

760 Market St Ste 449, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410237.786203 -122.405474
By Appoointment
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Northeast
KWANDEE & INGRID – i highly recommend both Kwandee and Ingrid for cutting men's hair.
Kwandee: Best SF colorist – Been bouncing around for the past 2 years trying to find a colorist in SF who is honest and realistic based on customers (my) wants and age. Kwandee is amazing. Really listens to concerns of clients and doesn't push own agenda at clients expense. Went in on a reference from friend with completely different hair style, color and texture and have stopped looking since. You will not be disappointed.
Kwandee is THE Best – I have been a client of Kwandee's for over 20 years - he does my color, hightlight and Keratin treatments when I have time. I always get compliments on my color and highlights. My two close friends love Kwandee too and have been following him around San Francisco for most of his career!
I highly recommend him - his pricing is reasonable, he will always fit you in to an appointment AND he will make your hair beautiful! He is the best.
Best Hairstylist in San Francisco – When I found a hairstylist who's work is simply perfect, I stopped looking. Wouldn't you?
For over 9 years I have been going to Siobhan to style my hair and all I can say is that I have not met anyone as knowledgeable as she is, let alone the fact that she is a perfectionist when it comes to her work. Whether it's a haircut, or a coloring, or anything related to a hair treatment, Siobhan is the person to see. The results speak for themselves. I can not fully express how much she cares about a client, how much attention she gives to her. There has not been a single appointment throughout these years that she did not deliver exactly the hairstyle, or a highlight I had in mind. I have been following her and I will continue to do so wherever she goes, because she is simply perfect.
I love Kwandee!!! – I love Kwandee. Kwandee is an awesome colorist. He is brilliant. He makes my hair brilliant. Kwandee has cut and colored my hair for years. I am grateful that Kwandee is a great stylist and that he is my great stylist. In addition to making me look good, seeing Kwandee is fun. Kwandee always makes me feel better. So looking good and feeling good is really good, thanks to Kwandee.
Kwandee: I will follow you til the world's end – I've been to Kwandee for cut & color for 4 years now, and I literally cannot imagine "hair life" without him. WIthout thinking twice, I followed him from his previous salon to Frange Blue - it wasn't even a question. Kwandee is warm, wonderful, friendly, and makes your hair va-va-voom. I have typical "Asian hair" that is difficult to color. After years of failed attempts to achieve a reddish, wine colored hue, I found Kwandee and have loved experimenting with color ever since. Kwandee has this perfect balance of giving you exactly what you want and ask for, but also giving suggestions if you're undecided or you are feeling a little daring. I've trusted him with everything from "make me adventurous" to "we have to play this one safe & conservative because my wedding is around the corner ;)" ... and never with regrets. Thanks to Kwandee, I've loved my hair for 4 years and running!
Siobhan is the best – Siobhan is a wonderful hair stylist! She has been cutting and highlighting my hair for 8 years and has done a perfect job every time. She is extremely conscientious and puts in the extra time to make my unnatural highlights look very natural. No one ever suspects I tamper with my hair color. If I have a request, she listens and gives me excellent advice and implements whatever we agreed upon. I trust her implicitly with my hair.
Siobhan is also a warm, caring, and interesting person, and I always feel comfortable sitting in her chair while she takes care of me.
Siobhan!!!!! – So I may be a guy which may make you think that it would be a piece of cake to give me a good haircut. Well wrong you are as proven time and time again by lackluster stylists through the years! My head is so full of cowlicks that it makes most stylists tremble on their feet! Lately however I have put my locks and licks in the care of Siobhan at FrangeBlue. Siobhan figured out the subtle nuances of my hair the first time she cut it and now I don't trust anyone else to touch it! Not only does it look and feel great as soon as its done but it takes real talent for it to be shaped well enough to look good as it grows out for a few weeks... Siobhan has mastered it and makes it look easy! Now without having to worry about my hair I have time to worry about all of the other problems going on in the world... which gives Siobhan and I plenty to ruminate over next time I'm in for a visit. And yes, she's always one for great conversation as well while you're stuck in the the chair!
Siobhan is truly great at what she does and I am very luck to have found her!
Kwandee / Frange Blue – This review is for: KWANDEE: 415-602-6204
This is a review that is well overdue! Kwandee always puts a smile on my face and makes me feel beautiful every time I leave the salon. I live almost two hours away from San Francisco and still make the special trek just to get a cut, color and highlights by Kwandee. I have used several other people near my home (in wine country) and no such luck! I was tired of spending $150-250 and hating my hair when I walked out of a salon! Kwandee is the only person I would ever go to now.
I had long hair at one point but after having a baby, I was ready to go for the short haircut. I was nervous to make the change but felt very confident that I was in the right hands. Not only is Kwandee great but the Salon "Frange Blue" is also great... very clean, all staff members are polite, and I love the warm welcome. You are not only greeted by Kwandee upon arrival, but are offered a beverage.. I must say, I always go for the glass of wine. I highly recommend Kwandee and Frange Blue. It is very easy to make an appointment with him as he tends to be flexible with his schedule. I hope you enjoy your new look as much as I enjoy mine.
MIGUEL is my Hero ... He works MAGIC – I have problem hair, it's thinning, showing baldness, and has no body at all, nor has it ever. I was recommended to try Miguel last fall. I did and I couldn't believe the magic he does. I have NEVER in my life had any stylist cut my hair the way Miguel does. It's cut and styled so well that my hair has body (it really doesn't but it looks like it does), and the cut is so contemporary; furthermore, it doesn't show any balding. The man ROCKS!!! This sounds like a commercial but it's the honest to God truth, I am being asked for my phone numbers and getting all the dates a man can handle. He also works miracles with highlights, they look totally natural and blessed by the sun. I cannot say enough great things about Miguel. I recommend him to anyone who cares how they look and how people look at you ... over and over again. It's so flattering and wonderful for my ego. Thank you Miguel! ~~Bobby

We found that the original military L.B.E. needed improvement with added ruggedness, a drag handle and sternum strap, and the BlackHawk wrap around belt loop system with H-Harness.

The Knook is starting a regular Saturday night barbecue beginning June 29.

Now, armed with a new grill and smoker, Krissy will feature different specials — ribs, chicken, brisket, tri tips, pork — every Saturday. She is also adding new sandwich specials to her ever-expanding menu. The Knook is in Grover's Alley in downtown Quincy.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - Police say two people are dead and two more are injured in a shooting at Sparks Middle School in northern Nevada Monday morning.
Washoe County School District Police didn't immediately offer details of the identities of the dead. They said the school is "all clear" and the suspect is "down," but offered no further details.
Spokeswoman Angela Rambo of Renown Regional Medical Center says two boys are in critical condition.
Washoe County School District spokesman Charles Rahn says the middle school and next door Agnes Risley Elementary School have been evacuated to Sparks High School. Rahn said the middle and elementary schools will be closed Monday.
Sparks is a city just east of Reno.

"Full Humanity" Through GenerositySeptember 2011
by Howard Freeman
In his book Common As Air, Kenyon College professor Lewis Hyde describes how Americans shifted during the early 19th century from being concerned about the common good to what he calls "possessive individualism."
Referring to political theorist Hannah Arendt's claim that those in early Greece and Rome were said to enter "full humanity" only when they actively contributed to the common good through public service (in the broad sense), Professor Hyde notes how the American transcendentalists, led by Ralph Waldo Emerson, moved from the communalism of the country's founders to self-reliance and even removal from society itself, romanticized in works like Walden.
Hyde writes, ''We became free to decline external demands…. The individual's identity arose not from attachments but from refusals." The "Me Generation" did not start twenty years ago but rather more like 170 years ago.
So, what of generosity?
The story of Jesus' life and death typifies the communal vs. possessive individualistic dichotomy: He was the Sent One, by the Father, and he obeyed unto death. He was tempted with owning the world's kingdoms by the devil who, a possessive individualist, wanted Jesus to worship him. On the cross, Jesus' body was broken and his relationship with the Father was severed, so that our local bodies could be made whole and we could be reconnected with God and each other.
Therefore, each of us has opportunities to connect and serve in community, such as affiliating with a congregation, becoming a member, joining a Fellowship Group, a Catalyst Group or attending a Catalyst Night, or volunteering on Sunday or with our small group at a Hope For New York affiliate agency.
For we are truly only fully human, and generously so, when we have died to self, love one another, and serve the city in community.

Chef Geoff's Restaurant
1301 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20004
On Thursday, April 10 at 12 p.m., the Pew Environment Group will host a press lunch panel. Ocean luminaries, fisheries experts and a local celebrity chef will provide an overview of the Bush administration's ocean accomplishments and identify areas where fishing interests within some of the regional fishery management councils could undermine recent successes. Panelists will also discuss two upcoming rulemakings – one on the National Environmental Policy Act, the other on ending overfishing – to be proposed by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The Bush administration could be remembered for its significant ocean conservation achievements, unless some in the fishing industry and the regional fishery management councils successfully chip away at the administration's progress.
Press lunch panel discussion on Bush administration's ocean achievements, threats posed by some in the fishing industry and on the fishery management councils and two upcoming proposals that could protect fish populations from overfishing or push them closer to the brink of collapse

Head into Ablaze, your landscape products supplier, and get yourself a load of pebbles.

It is a good beach for swimming, but Lake Tahoe is chilly year round, so you probably won't want to venture too far from the sun-warmed shore.
There are picnic facilities available. Parking is $6 during the day.

We wish this beach had more services. It would have been nice to be able to buy food and drink, and rent some water toys. Make sure you bring everything with you to Sand Harbor, it will be worth it. It's a Nevada state park, and there was a $6 fee.

Alton was raised on their family farm near Beresford where he attended Glenwood School. He married Clara Isakson on Sept. 8, 1942. Alton joined the Army and served during WWII in various places in the States. The couple resided on farms near Alcester and Vermillion. They were blessed with four children.
He enjoyed farming, visiting with family and friends, and taking rides to check out the crops. In addition to farming near Vermillion, he would go south each summer with his sons and a crew of men and did custom combine work harvesting grain from Oklahoma to North Dakota, as well as custom work for other farmers in the Vermillion area.
During the winter months, Clara and he spent time in Florida, Texas, and California. They enjoyed being together and rarely were seen without each other. They retired from the farm and moved to Vermillion in 1985.
They were members of St. Peter Lutheran church for many years were Alton served as a trustee. He most recently was a member of Concordia Lutheran Church in Vermillion. He accepted Jesus Christ and made a public profession of his faith as an adult and loved God and his family.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Clara in 2004; sisters Alta Collins and Madeline Vik; brothers, Van Dale, and Verdell Larson.
Among those who survive and gratefully shared his life are his children, LeRoy (Marlys) Larson of Vermillion, Janice (Allan) Charrlin of Beresford, JoAnn (Erlan) Olson, of Burbank, and David (Shirley) Larson of Sioux Falls; 13 grandchildren, Matthew (Dawne) Olson, Angela, (Greg) Cable, Mark (Lesa) Olson, Jason (Holly) Charrlin, Josh (Katie) Larson, Mitchell Olson, Jodi (Doug) Skartvedt, Jesse (Angela) Larson, Jamee (Sean) Coffman, Lonna (Matt) Thelen, Justin (Danielle) Larson, Leslie and Kayla Larson; 17 great-grandchildren, Garret, Cody, Grace and Micheala Olson, Alexis and Colby Olson, Allan, Brookly and Jase Charrlin, Justin and Alivia Cable, Jayda and Torey Coffman, James, Stella, Hayva, and Grant Larson; one brother, Delsmore (Florence) Larson of Vermillion and many nieces and nephews.

Portland >Lodging > The Heathman Hotel
1001 Sw Broadway, Portland, OR | Directions 9720545.517193 -122.680981
Daily 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Neighbors West - Northwest
This historic hotel is so charming in so many ways. The service is Old School gracious, friendly and helpful from the minute you pull up to the curb. Rooms are comfortable, even if the bathrooms in some tend to be on the smaller side, keeping one foot in the past. Yet, the in-room amenities such as French press coffee, the free WiFi and much-appreciated slippers, are thoroughly modern. The location, just a couple of blocks from the heart of downtown, is terrific, too.
If you do stay, don't miss the early evening wine tasting in the hotel's super cool library. For more than 30 years, authors who stay here have made it a tradition to leave a signed book. It's possible to borrow books if you're a guest. Browsing the shelves is like devouring a delicious list of Who's Who in American literature and Pop Culture. Instead of watching TV at the end of the evening, my husband read Calvin Trillin's witty poems about the 2012 election from the book Dog Fight aloud. What a treat!
And speaking of treats, if you're a fan of afternoon tea, there's a lovely one served in the handsomely decorated lounge. (Pictured here.)
Appealing to seekers of old fashioned swank and 50 Shades of Grey fans alike, this downtown mainstay has a lovely tea court perfect for relaxing with a cuppa tea/something stronger after a long day of business meetings/tourist hotspot hopping.
THE LEFT HAND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT IS DOING! – The Heathman! One of Portland's most upscale hotels! But some of the worst communication amongst staff I have ever seen. First they gave away our specifcally-reserved room minutes before we arrived! Even after checking in person twice that I was to get a room overlooking the Grand Floral Parade route. Being told that my reservation was mark so as to not have the room moved. We were upgraded to another room but our plans to watch the parade from the comfort and dryness of the hotel were ruined. In the evening when my partner fell in the hall and I called room service to bring some bandages for his arm, no one ever arrived. I had to call 3 times before someone brought something the next day. In the middle of our 2-night stay a guest services person walked into our room and told us it was marked to be vacated. At the end of our stay as we tried to check out I was charged for mini bar items we didn't use and then charged $600 for the room when we had a prepaid coupon we had purchased at a silent auction months before. Needless to say that they zeroed out all of our charges when I explained to them the horrific and continual issues we had at during our visit. Not to mention the $6.25 for a drink in the bar where the booze was non-existent. The Heathman was always very apologetic every time something was amiss. I just have never seen so many things go wrong and the no employee knew anything we had mentioned to several others before. Dustin should be fired, Amy commended for trying to correct his errors. They all should learn to discuss patrons desire and needs before leaving for the day. I will never stay at the Heathman again and will make sure my friends are aware of the extremely bad treatment we received!
The best Hotel in Portland – My family and me arived in Portland for the first time. Our stay at the Heathman Hotel was the finest experience we ever had. The staff was extremely helpful on anything we asked. The restaurant was fantastic. ( The bartender was very helpful ) We can't wait to visit again. Thank you for everything. The Valdez Family..
Great Weekend at the Heathman. – We are from Seattle and came down during the big storm of '06 when all of the Eastside of Seattle had no power. We decided to avoid downtown Seattle and make a vacation out of it and goto Portland. We had an American Express Concierge recommend a hotel in the four star range. The Heathman was a great choice, right in the middle of everything. We got a double bed room and it was nice and roomy, since we could not get a room with a single king bed. We were not picky since we were already driving to Portland when we booked the stay. They invited our 40 -lb dog with no problem and everyone was friendly. There was a park behind the hotel that connected to the campus of Portland State, and we were three box from Saks and Nordy's. We stayed for 2 nights. We only ordered midnight snacks and breakfast for room service and it was decent. I usually have some problem sleeping on hotel beds, even nice hotels, but this one proved no problem. I think we had some kind of pillow top bed. They offered temperpedic beds also (we have one at home, and I would have preferred if I knew) The lobby looked very nice, but we could not enjoy it with the doggy. The Hilton was across the street, it looked nice but not as cozy...
Great experience all around – My wife and I stayed here on our wedding night and had no complaints. The check in/out process was very simple and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice and comfortable, one of the best rooms I have ever stayed in. The location is also supringsly easy to get to. I was a bit worried with all the traffic out front, but the staff does a great job of making everything as easy as possible for customers.
Make you feel like a King – All I can say is WOW!!! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The Heathman makes you feel like a King as soon as you walk in. The bed menu is great, it allows you to choose what kind of mattress you desire. Too cool!! The marble bar is nice, and serves great drinks. The restaraunt looks nice, we chose to have room service for a romantic evening. Their romantic package is worth the money. We also had a couples massage that was wonderful. I have never been so relaxed in my life! If you like historical hotels with great service this is the place for you. We had a Renaissance Room that was very comfortable. The 2 bathrooms made getting ready in the evening and morning easy for us. We will definitely be back!!!!
A few hiccups on a way to a great stay! – We went to stay at the Heathman hotel for our honeymoon and there were a few hiccups. We got there and our room was not ready so we went and walked downtown, which is always great, and got coffee at Starbucks. After getting up at 4:30 am to get my hair done, I needed the caffeine. We went back to the hotel and the room was still not ready so we went to the bar and enjoyed great cocktails. Finally our room was ready but unfortunately it was not the one we booked. Things finally got resolved and we had the wonderful Renaissance Room. I did go on the website to report the mishaps and then sent them a letter. Not only did we get a letter but we also got an e-mail expressing their apologies. We will definitely stay there again.
The Best in Portland – My daughter and I just returned from a two night stay at the Heathman. Our room was a nice size, considering we had two double beds, the restaurant was exceptional and the staff was extremely helpul. You are within walking distance of shopping, the art museum, and fine restaurants. The public transportion is very easy to use. Once we arrived we never got back into our car until we left!
Historic hotel provides comfort, elegance and all of the amenities to boot. – In Short
Landmark hotel's 150 stately rooms are decorated with Burmese teak paneling and Northwest art. Bathrobes, ironing boards, hair dryers, French-press coffee makers and high-speed Internet are in every room. There's also a free video library and a library for reading enthusiasts. Afternoon tea is served daily in the Heathman Tea Court, and the Lobby Lounge swings Tuesday through Saturday with jazz performers. The hotel's popular restaurant features Northwest cuisine with a French flair.
Amazing Botique Style Hotel – From start to finish everything was amazing. The service is as good if not better than any hotel I have ever stayed at. Rooms are smaller than I am used to but the amenities, lots of great movies, free peets coffee and tea, the wonderful turn down crew are well worth the lack of space. The concierge service is super knowledgable and each had special input to give to each and ever question we threw at them. Our entire trip went better because we ended here and it left such a lasting impression. To friends and people I meet on the street I ALWAYS recommend The Heathman. If you are looking for a great experience choose this hotel. The only negative I can think of is they are always full so it is hard to get a last min reservation. If you can get a parlor room, go for it
Great Service – The Heathman Hotel is one of the best hotels simply for their service. With a great restaurant, jazz in the tea court, and personal concierges - I couldnt ask for anything more.

I was uploading a few new pictures to my account on Houzz.com and searched for new work from others. I love design pictures and have seen a lot of great projects that we try and learn from and offer to our customers. This shower bench with the custom glass and LED lighting is most likely the best new idea I have seen online in the past 18 months.
I love this bench and will build one very soon I'm sure.
I'm working with Darren Werner from Werner Construction on a project in China Town (Vancouver) that has similar glass and lighting. The feature part of a spiral staircase and waterfall entry. The spiral stair case will have this textured glass and the glass itself will be side lit for effect and safety.

I have been working at Brink's, Incorporated full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Every day is fun, you get to flirt with all the ladies. Women love the uniform. This job looks good on your resume for those future cops if you don't get fired for stealing. They don't polygraph you but the background check is extensive. You get issued a handgun and utility belt, you can't carry your own weapon or gear.
Cons – You never know when your day will end until you clock out. 8 to 12 hour days and low hourly wage considering you are putting your life on the line to deliver money. Late dinners and my home life is limited due to the long days. No advancement.
Advice to Senior Management – More pizza parties.

I would not be banking on either of the autotrol or sears unit working for a long time..
First look at the water test when it comes back.. iron and hardness and ph ,, that kind of thing. then how many people and number of baths and bedrooms for the house... as that will say what size unit is going to be needed.
If a system is cleaning say every 5 days there should not be much of if any issue with the brine discharge, but if say 24lbs every day or 2 times a day then that will most likely be a challenge for the long run.
There have been a few studies on brine in the septic.. mid west university's have done them.. look them up.

I have acne problem and I could not use any lotions on my skin due their oiliness or clogging pores. I was recommended this product before putting on acne treatment and I did so. My skin is now protected from sun and not getting dried up
Nice Sun screen for acne prone skin
- sam (April 11th, 2014)
Wonderful moisturizer and sunscreen all in one. Lightweight too! Make-up goes on easily and lasts all day. Great product!
- Barbara Solomon (March 28th, 2014)
I agree with the other customers who miss the pump bottle and previous product. Why not make the old product in the glass bottle and just call it a moisturizer?
- Peggy Basset (March 8th, 2014)
I was a little unsure about ordering this product after reading the other reviews. I, too, was a big fan of the old product. The smell, the consistency, THE PUMP BOTTLE!!!! I decided to purchase only 1 in the tube. Other than the scent, I really like it. It's definitely stronger than the prior product, but not that bad. It does smell a little like sun-screen but that's one of the features. It's not as thick as I expected based on other reviews. I will definitely be using this product.

In a damning assessment of the church's handling of abuse issues, the reports say it appears the church has known about a shockingly high rate of suicides and premature deaths but has "chosen to remain silent."
Written by Detective Sergeant Kevin Carson, the reports state that while conducting lengthy inquiries into paedophile clergy, investigators have discovered "an inordinate number of suicides which appear to be a consequence of sexual offending.
"The number of people contacting this office to report members of their family, people they know, people they went to school with, who have taken their lives is constant. It would appear that an investigation would uncover many more deaths as a consequence of clergy sexual abuse," one of the reports states.
The revelations will increase pressure on Premier Ted Baillieu and state Attorney-General Robert Clark to respond both to the growing calls from victims for a broad inquiry into clergy sexual abuse, and to the February recommendation of Justice Phillip Cummins for a formal inquiry.
The reports by Sergeant Carson were dated September last year and February this year. The most recent report details the "premature deaths of young men in the years following sexual assault by Catholic fraternity".

The Sweet Life: Throw a Dessert-Tasting Party!
(page 1 of 5)
"Prep these pears the day before. Then you can just chill out and enjoy the party." —Chef Fred DeAngelo
Cake stand, plates and forks, from Williams-Sonoma.
Photo by Olivier Koning
Ever notice how we call our loved ones things like Sweetie, Sweetness or Sugar? We whisper sweet nothings, too. Perhaps sugar produces such euphoria that a comparison between love and dessert is apt. Why not delight your loved ones and invite them over for a dessert-tasting party? After all, dinner guests can be hard to please—one's a vegetarian, one's a carnivore—but you'll be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like dessert. If you do, I guess you won't call him Sweetums.
Pinot Noir Poached Pears
|Serves six
1 bottle pinot noir
Chef Fred DeAngelo prepares to poach the pears (left). Later, he fills the pears with a macadamia-nut filling.
Photos by Olivier Koning
* For serious baking, it's best to weigh ingredients. If you don't use a scale for cooking and need help converting ounces into, say, cups, there are conversion tables available on the Internet.
Photo by Olivier Koning
ABOUT THE CHEFFred DeAngelo is the chef/owner of Ola at Turtle Bay Resort, 57-091 Kamehameha Highway, 293-0801. Ola won Best New Oahu Restaurant, silver, in the 2007 HONOLULU Magazine Hale Aina Awards.
1. To make the macadamia-nut filling:Toast the chopped macadamia nuts, then cool. In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone, sugar and four ounces of the toasted nuts (reserve the rest for later). Seed half the vanilla bean pod and add the seeds to the filling. Mix well and refrigerate.
2. To poach the pears: In a medium-size saucepot, juice the orange, and place the juiced halves in the pot. Add the wine, honey, sliced ginger, star anise and water, and bring to a slow simmer. Peel the pears, place gently into poaching liquid and cook until tender. (A sharp knife will pierce the pear base with little resistance when done.) Remove the pears from the pot, place into a deep pan and cover pears with poaching liquid. Refrigerate overnight. This will intensify the color.
3. To assemble: Remove the pears from the poaching liquid, place liquid into saucepan and reduce until syrupy. From the bottom, core the pears with a paring knife, and then fill the cavity with the macadamia-nut filling. Drizzle with pear reduction and top with the remainder of the toasted macadamia nuts.
