Genetic differences in ethanol's ability to induce conditioned place preference were studied in 20 BXD Recombinant Inbred (RI) mouse strains and in the C57BL/6J and DBA/2J progenitor strains. Male mice from each strain were exposed to a Pavlovian conditioning procedure in which a distinctive floor stimulus (CS+) was paired four times with ethanol (2 g/kg). A different floor stimulus (CS-) was paired with saline. Control mice were injected only with saline. Floor preference testing without ethanol revealed significant genetic differences in conditioned place preference, with some strains spending nearly 80% time on the ethanolpaired floor while others spent only 50% (i.e., no preference). Control mice showed genetic differences in unconditioned preference for the floor cues, but unconditioned preference was not genetically correlated with conditioned preference. There were also substantial genetic differences in ethanol-stimulated activity, but contrary to psychomotor stimulant theory, ethanol-induced activity on conditioning trials was not positively correlated with strength of conditioned place preference. However, there was a significant negative genetic correlation (r=−0.42) between test session activity and preference. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses showed strong associations (P<0.01) between conditioned place preference and marker loci on chromosomes 4, 8, 9, 18 and 19. Weaker associations (0.01<P<0.05) were identified on several other chromosomes. Analysis also yielded several significant QTL for unconditioned preference, ethanol-stimulated activity, and sensitization. Overall, these data support the conclusion that genotype influences ethanol-induced conditioned place preference, presumably via genetic differences in sensitivity to ethanol's rewarding effects. Moreover, several chromosomal regions containing candidate genes of potential relevance to ethanol-induced conditioned place preference have been identified.

The Greatest Metal Album Of All Time?,
This review is from: Piece Of Mind [Enhanced] (Audio CD)
The first time I heard this record,I was about thirteen. It had already been out for about four years,and in that time its acclaim had grown to the point where it was already widely regarded as a classic. Once I heard the brief drum solo that opens lead track Where Eagles Dare, it was easy to hear why. There was something so fierce about Piece Of Mind. Perhaps it was the production of Martin Birch, or the primal screams and powerful wails of Bruce Dickinson. Maybe it was nine-round axe duel between Adrian Smith and Dave Murray or the masterful rhythm section of Steve Harris and Nicko McBrain at work. I think it was all of those, but most importantly, it was the songwriting that made this album the highlight of metal's most creatively stellar year,1983.
Listen to the aural acrobatics of the aforementioned Where Eagles Dare which features one of the best examples of daring riffery and acrobatic melody the metal genre has to offer. Even the album's weakest track, Quest For Fire, thrusts, dodges, lunges, and parries with proud cunning. Every composition on Piece Of Mind broke ground, and the album as a whole could not have been written by any other band. Piece of Mind is one of those records that always seemed to be not unlike an anthology of self-contained, yet vaguely related stories. When reading the acknowledgements, it comes as no surprise that the band thanks Alistair MacLean and Frank Herbert for the inspiration that their novels brought to their work. My young mind was engrossed in the richly British escapism of the lyrics and still is to this day. Where Eagles Dare sent us on a mission to infiltrate a castle in the Austrian Alps. The intricate dirge Revelations told a tale of Biblical intrigue. Flight Of Icarus brought the myth of one who tempts fate with man-made wings to a whole new generation. Die With Your Boots On gave us warnings from Nostradamus. The Trooper, with its rousing, galloping twin-lead riff, put us right onto a battlefield during the Crimean war. Still Life told us a ghost story. Quest For Fire took us back to a prehistoric time that never actually was. Sun And Steel took us into the mind of Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, and finale To Tame A Land thrust us far beyond our universe to Frank Herbert's desert planet Arrakis. Never before or since has a album taken me to so many fantastic realms in such a short period of time. This, combined with everything else I have written, is what makes Piece Of Mind the definitive Iron Maiden experience. All in all it remains a swashbuckling thriller of sound and fury that has withstood the onslaught of Father Time long enough to become my favorite album ever.

Great review, I especially liked your commentary on the meaning behind each of the songs on this album. Iron Maiden's creativity and willingness to branch out and sing about so many different things is one of the main reasons why Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time. Up the Irons! :) \M/

Air Force erases drone strike data in Afghanistan war report just one day after Rand Paul's filibuster
The Air Force has erased data on drone strikes in Afghanistan from their most recent report that was released just one day after Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster on Wednesday.
Since last October, Air Force Central Command had provided statistics on the number of weapons released from Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
As the debate on drone use heats up in the heartland, the Air Force report released on March 7 failed to list airstrikes from drones and many believe it's no coincidence given the Obama administration's embarrassment after Sen. Paul took the president to task for the U.S. government's use of drones in U.S. airspace.
Scroll down for video.
Sins of omission: As of Jan. 31, the Air Force report included drone strike data (bottom right) but the most recent update released on March 7 left a giant blankspace where the data should be listed
In the heartland: This MQ-9 Predator B unmanned surveillance aircraft, in Sierra Vista, Ariz., is used to patrol the southern U.S. border
Drone warfare has become increasingly important to the U.S. military in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as a way to collect intelligence and conduct airstrikes without risking American lives.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
told the audience at an event in South Carolina in February, that intelligence
indicates that drone strikes by U.S. RPAs have killed 4,700 people in the conflicts abroad.
Though they have been used over the
last decade, only this October the Air Force Central Command (AFCENT) decided to include data on strikes from RPAs in their monthly reports on air power
In 2009, 257 drone strikes were conducted in Afghanistan. That
number climbed slightly to 277 in 2010 and there was a small bump up in
2011 to 294, though the data can change due to recalculation.
2012 drone strikes became more frequent, climbing to 494 as the
tactic became a more important part of the U.S. strategy since President
Obama said he hopes to cut the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan by
half in 2014. That would be an estimated reduction of 34,000 U.S.
military personnel.
Stand with Rand: Sen. Rand Paul, (R-Ky.) spoke for 13 hours on the Senate floor on Wednesday discussing his concern that the government would have the power to launch drone strikes on Americans
As of January 31, the Air Force reported a total of 44 drone strikes were launched in the beginning of 2013 but the report released in March, for February military ops, failed to include any data on drone strikes.
Data in 2012
was released for the months of November, December and in 2013 for
January but the latest report released on March 7 left a blank space on RPA operations, according to a report in the Air Force Times.
Defense Department spokesman Cmdr. Bill
Speaks told the Times the department was not involved in the
decision to exclude the data.
omission did not go unnoticed because it came the day after Sen. Paul
gave a lengthy monologue on the Senate floor, voicing his fear about armed drones in U.S. airspace.
Drones are already in use by border patrol agents and law enforcement officials across the U.S.
In February 2012, Congress passed The FAA Reauthorization Act, which includes a provision for the Federal Aviation Administration to develop regulations for the testing and licensing of commercial drones by 2015.
President Obama signed the bill into law and estimates show that 30,000 drones could be in U.S. skies by 2020.
Drone warfare: Al Qaeda said thier attack on the compound was retaliation over U.S. drone strikes. (pictured an artist impression of a Predator Drone firing a missile)
Remote operated: An airman operates a sensor control station for a MQ-9 Reaper during a training mission. Reapers can fly for as long as 14 hours fully loaded with laser-guided bombs and air-to-ground missiles
In June 2012, Paul pushed for legislation that would require law enforcement officials to obtain a warrant before using a drone to collect information on suspected criminals in the U.S. and he also asked for assurances that the executive branch be prohibited from using a drone to kill a noncombatant American on U.S. soil.
In response, he received a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder that stated the government's use of drone strikes on its own citizens on U.S. soil was 'unlikely to occur.'
Unsatisfied with the ambiguity of the Obama administration's stance, the Kentucky Republican took his cause to the public, beginning a filibuster on the vote for Obama's choice of CIA director, John Brennan, on March 6 at 11:47am.
The son of Republican Texas Congressman Ron Paul raised the alarm that the power of the executive branch to use drones to collect information on American citizens in the U.S. would be violating the 5th Amendment of the U.S. constitution, which guarantees an American's right to due process.
With only water and candy bars to keep him going, Sen. Paul galvanized the grassroots and grabbed the spotlight while, ironically, top GOP Senators, including John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), spent Wednesday night wining and dining with President Obama at the Jefferson Hotel in Washington.
Paul's oratory exhibit wrapped up at 12:39am on March 7 and his effort has brought increased scrutiny to the issue.
'I hope my efforts help spur a national debate about the limits of executive power and the scope of every American's natural right to be free,' Sen. Paul wrote in a piece for the Washington Post on Friday.
'"Due process" is not just a phrase that can be ignored at the whim of the president; it is a right that belongs to every citizen in this great nation,' he added.

The latest tapes in the Zee's B & D instructional series cover female submissiveness. In Volume 4, Frank demonstrates proper spanking techniques. After lacing Ona into a corset, Frank applies nipple rings, clips, clamps and clothes pins. Finally, frank demonstrates proper bondage technique by tying Ona into a black rope bikini. Volume 5 opens with Ona on the receiving end of several whips. (My favorite is the cat o'nine tails.) Frank then ties Ona to his home-made bondage horse. The cameraman discretely fades to black when the couple starts "doing the wild thing." Finally, Ona endures dripping hot wax from several candles.
These tapes contain a lot of useful information, delivered with enthusiasm by the Zees. They emphasize communication and caution. They encourage dominates and submissives to switch roles for improved play. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to actively participate in B & D.

Posted on 02/22/2012 3:30:02 PM PST by parksstp
LIVE DEBATE THREAD (Is it too early to start?)
This debate has shown that Newt Gingrich is the most qualified man in the U.S. to be President. And, secondly, it would be a disaster for the Republican Party (and the country) if Rick Santorum is the nominee (because he'll lose to Obama).
are you saying you are a delegate for Newt ???
Newt is the best candidate....as long as he is no threat to win.
He is off on the side basically being ignored except for his cheering section here.
Newt scares the MSM.
This debate has shown that Newt Gingrich is the most qualified man in the U.S. to be President. And, secondly, it would be a disaster for the Republican Party (and the country) if Rick Santorum is the nominee (because he'll lose to Obama).
LOL! Santuckabee! That is CLASSIC!
This crowd is so obnoxious, I won't be surprised to see panties thrown at Mitt.
Good grief, y'all.
Thank you JIm! My husband is back to Newt because fo this debate!!! GO NEWT!
He said he wouldn't require e-verify for homeowners.
And he keeps turning Jon King's gotcha right back around on King and Obama. He is the only one who can do that.
Newt is BRILLIANT. Always.
Ask the illegals to build the fence on their way out.
King brings up Rubio to bash Republicans and try to hurt them with Hispanics now.
Did Axelrod write these questions?
I wish! Nah, it is part of the primary process.
In all seriousness...can anyone watching this debate vote for someone other than Newt?
The more Newt speaks, the better off we all are.
I wish upon him millions of delegates!
You're both right, but make no mistake Kansas - his answers are part of the reason tonight - and yes, Mitt's audience is big and they were told to yell - in reaction to the comment by Mike DeWine this week that Romney's campaign "has no energy."
But Santorum really sucks - er, is really himself tonight.
I really really really hope Mittens loses Michigan and Arizona.
Yeah, easily.
King reveals the cutsie question of the evening:
Candidates, define yourself in one word and one word only.
Wow, how fast they fall.
Santorum is currently down 32% on Intrade to win Michigan. He's at 22 Percent and Mitt is at 78 %. What a difference a week makes, especially tonight.
Panties? Mormon undies? Yuk....
Define yourself in one word, and one word only!
Santo: Notsatan.
I like both Newt and Santorum. Newt is polling very low in MI, so, I think its important to help defeat Romney. I had three political calls for Romney ion 4 hours today. I think pre recorded political calls should be on the Do Not Call List. if that isn't harassment, what is?
King keeps trying to steer conversation, and Newt keeps stuffing it up his arse! GO NEWT!
Newt is on FIRE tonight.
Git yo-seff a new doc.
Yes, because is has been shown that too much exposure to a sweater vest can impair judgement.
Git yo-seff a new doc.
" Hail Mary and thank you Jesus! We are a two religion home..LOL "
Me too!~! WAPO will be wondering where Newt and Rick's ashes have gone for sure! LOL!
God be with us all!
We have one of those right next to ASU. There are probably more in the Phoenix area.
Define yourself in one word, and one word only!
Obama: I'm black.
Wow, Romney sure has the audience stacked with his supporters tonight. It's a contest between the Paul-bots and the Mitt-bots!
It's over. The fix is in. This debate was stacked for Romney. Santorum goes after Mitt on Romneycare and the audience boos? Newt's giving good debate answers and getting about a half-hearted response (probably cause the audience wants to help split the not-Romney vote)
Do you not find it AMAZING that EVERY attack Romney has laid on Santorum is something that has been hammered here on FR by Santorum supporters? It's like his surrogates knew just about every Santorum-bashing thread there was and compiled the information up.
Care to advise why .... and don't knock Newt .... tell me why I should vote for your candidate of choice.
I love this... after the break they
have to choose ONE word to discribe themselves!
This is a stinking GAME SHOW.
Why not have them act out their policy on the Fed charade style???
Great quetion!! A friend, who is Hawaiian, said he wants to go back just to find that dang BC! LOL!
What twee would you be if you were a twee?
Newt is doing very well tonight.
I cannot believe thete has not been a question about gas prices. Or did I miss it?
Better yet :NOTOBAMA
Paul (though next is going to be foreign policy, Paul will have plenty of opportunity to rant insanely!)
Romney (slight edge here!)
He's figured out CNN game plan. Keep Republicans fighting. Protect Obama.
I don't know if the debate is stacked, but the audience is definitely stacked with Mitt-bots. Where are Santorum's supporters?
Giant hail just started
it sounded like my roof was carving in...
i hope my power doesnt go off...
They all left Mexico voluntarily. They will all leave the U.S. voluntarily also -- if the incentives are right. Total cost to the U.S. taxpayer = $0.00.
Santorum is not ready for prime time.
Newt is looking real good but he needs to take control of this debate and take Mittens and Santorum to the wood shed.
No wonder they don't want to debate Newt.

How is vitiligo treated?
Treatment may help make the skin look more even. The choice of treatment depends on:
- The number of white patches
- How widespread the patches are
- The treatment the person prefers to use.
Some treatments are not right for everyone. Many treatments can have unwanted side effects. Treatments can take a long time, and sometimes they don't work.
Current treatment options for vitiligo include medical, surgical, and other treatments. Most treatments are aimed at restoring color to the white patches of skin.
Medical treatments include:
- Medicines (such as creams) that you put on the skin
- Medicines that you take by mouth
- A treatment that uses medicine plus ultraviolet A (UVA) light (PUVA)
- Removing the color from other areas so they match the white patches.
Surgical treatments include:
- Skin grafts from a person's own tissues. The doctor takes skin from one area of a patient's body and attaches it to another area. This is sometimes used for people with small patches of vitiligo.
- Tattooing small areas of skin.
Other treatments include:

LOS ANGELES - Gregory Poe, a fashion designer with an offbeat sensibility who caused a sensation in the late 1970s with a line of see-through purses and raincoats infused with plastic fish and other whimsical items, died Sept. 1 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 51.
In poor health for several years, Poe died in his sleep, according to Jeffrey Poe, his brother.
In 1978, Poe established himself as a fashion talent when he designed a line of plastic clothing and accessories that incorporated novel items: colorful plastic fish afloat in raincoat pockets and clutch bags with candy wrappers sewn into the flaps. The kitschy items quickly sold out at trendy Melrose Avenue boutiques, including Maxfield and Fiorucci.
"He was very creative in an avant-garde way," recalled Mary Stephens, director of the fashion design department at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, who hired him to teach advanced design students.
By the early 1980s, Poe's creations were sold at Macy's in New York, where Japanese buyers discovered them. They bought entire racks of his merchandise and took them back to Tokyo, which launched his career there.
Wacoal, the company that helped make Issey Miyake a fashion icon, added Poe to its stable. For more than a decade, he designed men's and women's clothing and accessories that were sold exclusively in a chain of Wacoal-backed Gregory Poe boutiques in Japan.
He later sold an American line of women's ready-to-wear that was distinguished by slinky shapes and unusual textures. It won raves from fashion editors such as British Vogue's Jill Spalding. She told The Chicago Tribune in 1985 that Poe was "the most talented designer on the West Coast," using Astroturf and nylon leopard skin "long before Melrose Avenue caught up with it."
Born Oct. 17, 1956, Poe grew up in Westwood, a district in western Los Angeles, and graduated from an alternative education program at University High School.
After attending Immaculate Heart College, he transferred to California Institute of the Arts, where one of his teachers was performance artist Laurie Anderson. She was so impressed by his designs - see-through ties and bags stuffed with confetti - that she encouraged him to leave school early to pursue a fashion career.
He left CalArts after a year and soon found success in the trend havens of Melrose Avenue.

Hi There,
I am experiencing some issues with TinyMCE 3.5.8. What happens is I highlight the text I want to add a link to, insert the link then when I switch to the text tab, I can see that the link is wrapped around the <p> tag. If I publish this without changing the code (as an editor without HTML knowledge would), the link works fine on the front end but when the editor goes back to the page, the link has dissappeared! Pressumably this is because TinyMCE is seeing it as invalid (which it is) and stripping it out. The problem is that TinyMCE is causing the invalid code in the first place.
This is causing me some headaches because obviously the editors of the sites I build are not capable of editing the HTML to correct the original issue. I'd be happy to demonstrate this over a 'join.me' session with the plugin author if needed?

NEW YORK (AP) - Jeffrey Loria doesn't have a signed agreement to buy the Florida Marlins from John Henry, but baseball's ownership committee already has recommended approval of the sale.
In another unusual development in baseball's bizarre off-season, the ownership committee convened by telephone conference call Friday and unanimously agreed that owners should vote in favor of a deal hasn't even been finalized.
Henry, who heads the group that was given approval by major league owners on Jan. 16 to buy the Boston Red Sox from the Jean R. Yawkey Foundation for $660 million, intends to sell the Marlins to Loria for $158.5 million.
Loria plans to sell the Expos for $120 million to a new entity - either a corporation or a partnership - that is owned by the other 29 major league teams.

Making Dinner Easier
The meal assembly industry aims to take the heat off for busy cooks.
By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
The investment: About two hours of your time and $195. The idea: You assemble a batch of meals at a store that provides recipes, pre-prepared ingredients, and cooking facilities. The result: 12 entrees, ready to take home, freeze, and bake at your leisure.
Those are the basics behind the self-service, meal-assembly stores that are popping up all over the United States, both as franchises and as single-store businesses.
Industry representatives say they offer an alternative to takeout, allowing customers to enjoy home-cooked-style meals and convenience, too. And you don't have to be a chef to prepare these "make, take, and bake" entrees.
"Most of our customers don't know how to cook or don't like to cook," says Sam Lee, owner of the Full Plate meal assembly store in Walnut Creek, Calif.
At most of these businesses, you select your preferred entrees and sign up for a time slot over the Internet. When you get to the store, there are stations set up to assemble each entree. Instructions are spelled out step by step. Pre-cooked and pre-chopped ingredients, measuring cups and spoons, and freezer-friendly takeout containers are on hand.

Recent study shows in which part of Canada do most Canadians live
The majority of Canadians or about 90 percent of them live close to the US/Canada border.
The majority of Canadians live in the southern part of Canada while the northern regions are less densely populated. Where Canadians live nowadays is a reflection of the settlement history of the country. Major waterways such as the Great Lakes, the Yukon, the Mackenzie, and the St. Lawrence became the main corridors of commerce. They opened up the country's interior, and the rail linked Canada from sea to sea by the end of the 19th century. In Quebec, regions such as the Beauce, the Saguenay, and the Outaouais developed along the Chaudière, Saguenay, and Ottawa Rivers, and other tributaries of the St. Lawrence. For the first settlers, the Ottawa River and the Great lakes provided access to the interior of Canada.
Many European immigrants chose to settle in Atlantic Canada because of the wealth of natural and fishing resources. They established communities and settlements along Atlantic Canada's inlets, bays, and coves. In the province of Nova Scotia, 4 in 5 Canadians live close to the Atlantic shore. The major urban areas in Nova Scotia (e.g. Sydney and Halifax) are found close to the ocean.
The population of Canada is concentrated in the southern part also because these regions offer a fertile land and a more temperate climate. The 2006 Census of Canada showed that 2 in 3 Canadians lived close to the US/Canada border (less than 100 km from the shared border). This strip of land is about 4 percent of Canada's total area. The population of Canada in the southern regions is increasing. The population density in the southern part averages 245 people per square kilometre. The largest urban centres are also found here. Figures show that the country has become a more urban nation. Population growth took place mostly in the largest urban centres during the past 5 years. In fact, 4 out of 5 or 80 percent of Canada's population lives in urban centres.

TravelPod Member ReviewsClub Regina Los Cabos San Jose Del Cabo

Historical Traveler Reviews Club Regina Los Cabos San Jose Del Cabo
Stay here 2x a year and stayed here 6x
I bought this timeshare from a buddy of mine who purchased it on his honeymoon and never went back-3 little ones put a damper in that plan for a few years. I have always been impresssed with the layout, 7 pools, great resteraunts, beaches, and incredible views from each room. The staff is friendly, rooms clean and spacious, and comfortable. Im on the Club Regina side and have a kitchen. I have a 1 bedroom unit w/2 bathrooms. Im going there again at the end of March and this will be my 5th stay in the past few years.
I get hounded by the timeshare people each time I go to "have breakfeast and discuss the new things going on..." which I blow them off every time because Im not interested. As an owner, they are always trying to get me to upgrade. I know the resort inside out and backwards. Im not a typical timeshare owner: Im single, early 30's, and chill out there with my buddies most of the time. Its a bachelor pad for me. Those who complain about timshare sharks, you set yourself if you go through it. Free stuff and hours of my time sitting through a sales pitch isnt my thing. I have done my research and know my options if I upgrade.
I would classify this as more of an adult hotel. There are a lot of big hills and the place is huge however they will bring you around in golf carts. I have never seen a lot of kids there but they dont bother me. We are all once kids once and we drove adults nuts. Its great for couples-very romantic.
Location is a ways from Cabo (25 minute drive) and each time I go back I spend my shopping time in San Jose which is much more laid back and peaceful. Great restraunts and lower key. I have been to Cabo 8x in the past 3 years so the downtown party scene gets old. I fish with Gordo Banks Pangas (Eric Bricston) and LaPlayita which is closer to the Westin. If you want to fish, Tomas Cantor is known by everyone and he's the guy to talk to fish. Pisces in Cabo is also another great fishing outfit.
If your looking for a seculded, huge, nice resort with everything you need at your fingertips, the Westin is an awesome place. If your looking for party centra or location to downtownl, stay at the Melia San Lucas or the Finisterra. I have stayed at both before but never complain about the Westin. Some people complain about the prices but hit the grocery store, grab some booze and food, bring your cooler to pool and save some $$$. Those cocktails add up at $8 a pop!! As an owner of timeshare at Club Regina, I highly recommened it.
We feel at home at the Westin Regina
We have been to the Westin Regina three times to date. After traveling the world, we have found this property to be the one "to come home to." During our second visit, we initiated and purchased a time share there (after having researched it prior to our arrival), and we have had no problem getting reservations there on dates we requested.
The hotel itself is beautiful, and the oceanfront rooms are stunning. Admittedly, it is not the hotel to stay at if you're on a tight budget. If you're lucky enough to stay on the concierge level of the hotel, the private dining balcony overlooking the ocean is a great way to begin the day. Service was fabulous and consistent, food delightful, and the staff was warm and friendly.
It is relatively secluded resort, and if you're looking for boisterous evenings, wet tee shirt contests, and crowds, this is not the place. It also can be a challenge if you're not physically fit since the buildings are set into the cliffs overlooking the sea and handicap ramps are inconvenient and steep. The resort is couples and family friendly... provided your children are older or well-behaved. I suspect singles may find it lacking. Our experience has been that most guests appear to be from the US or Canada.
The courtesy shuttles to and from town are great, and the service desks are remarkable. There are not vendors selling goods on the beach except in designated areas, and even there you must approach them first. (The quality of their jewelry was superb and the prices were competitive with nearby towns.)
The Westin Regina is remarkable destination, and if you enjoy whale watching... you need not leave your balcony for a show of a lifetime during early to mid-March. Although the beach is great for walking, there is a strong rip tide and it is relatively unsafe for swimming. Yet, the resort has many infinity pools along the surf which provide ample swimming opportunity.
Stayed at the Club Regina at the Westin
We stayed at the Club Regina which is the timeshare associated with the Westin from January 15 - 22 of 2005. All of the reviews of the hotel apply but there are some diffrences that you should be aware of prior to staying at the timeshares. The key one is accessability. If you have difficulty walking, it is not built for easy access to the suites, or to the pools or the beach. True enoguh, you can take the golf cart rides to go from point to point, but you will have steps to take at steep angles to get into the suites or to a pool or the beach. The hotel seemed a little more accessible in this regard. If you take the time share pitch, you get 20% off on all your purchases which made the high prices for food and drink more managable. You also get a discount on shuttle rates and tours, but they do not offer us the $100 for food or Hilton dollars. All in all a good stay, great views, but not easy to get around and we have no difficulty walking.
Owner who can never get in there
After falling for a hard core sales pitch I bought. Over the last year I have tried to book 6 times with no success. I was also informed by the sales manager after signing that I could not change my mind and that he would "tear up" any such request (I understand this is not legal) and that I could not sell the timeshare to anyone for two years (I have yet to investigate this). My most recent problem was trying to book again. They requested a 189.00 charge through raintree/rci to go to a different resort in Cabo because they could not take me at the westin or any of the other resorts we are supposed to be able to access. They left this as a open request. Interestingly enough they charged me two 189. fees, even though I canceled the open request the same day. I have been trying for over a week to get refunds, but get the run around. I have no vacation week, have been charged 378. and have been informed that they have 30 days in which to refund my monies. This on top of paying a maintenance fee and the purchase price. Not worth it. I own in 3 other timeshares (all bought on-line at less than 1200. each) and never have a problem booking through Interval to exchange or use these-even though they are float weeks. Do not buy here, beautiful but not worth the hassle or price. It is easier to book a regular week here then to own.
Relaxing stay at the Westin
We just got back from our first trip to Cabo over Thanksgiving. My husband and I stayed at Club Regina and had a wonderful relaxing stay. We left our children at home with grandparents because we heard that the resort was not really kid friendly. However, we encountered many families with children, all seemed to be having a great time. All of the staff was wonderful and accommodating. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the champagne brunch and the shrimp and scallop salad at the pool restaurant. The oceanside massages were awesome. Overall, a very pleasant stay. We will definitely return with the whole family.
Fanstatic Place, A real wonder!
Westin Regina Los Cabos is amazing! Stayed in one of the ocean view casitas at Club Regina. The hotel grounds and architecture are absolutely awe-inspiring.
Architecture: Contemporary, carefully-place buildings, pools, terraces, and landscaping. Quite honestly, a true wonder of Mexico.
Beaches: Beautiful views from cliff sides and hotel terraces, rather rough but gorgeous turquoise water. An invigorating, albeit, brief swimming experience.
Pools: Excellent array of many vanishing-edge pools placed at strategic cliff-side locations around the site. Amazing and very relaxing. We sometimes had the pools all to ourselves.
Food: Moderate-to-expensive but of high quality. Great drinks and friendly service.
Rooms: The casitas and Club Regina main house are quite nice. Great views and comfortable, architecturally quite unique and surprisingly unconventional for a large resort. Very impressive and ultra-clean. The place has a fresh-scrubbed appearance around-the-clock.
Location: Total tranquility.
Day Trip: Took a day trip to the Bahia Balandra near La Paz. What an amazing place, a deserted blue lagoon with the most tranquil water and pristine landscape I've ever seen outside of Thailand. Beautiful views of Isla Espiritu Santo, an uninhabited island in distance from adjacent beach up the road. La Paz is quite nice town as well. Baja California Sur is an impressive state, and quite unique in its relative underpopulation and low-density amount of development. Once out of the towns, it's a true wilderness. Exceptionately interesting and refreshing.
The Westin really is a must-see: an exotic boutique hotel experience with all the amenities of a large scale resort. The place sprawls but has an intimate, very impressive appearance and atmosphere. As a side-note, I'm an architect, and rarely have I seen a resort with such high-quality design and management. This place is an unique, true architectural concept--that actually got built! High praise to Westin for making it a reality.
What a wonderful place!
After reading all the negative reviews on this resort I was a little worried about our stay - 12 days from Sept 5-16.
But there was no need to worry and I really cannot understand why so many people have complained.
We were staying in the Club Regina (timeshare) and it was nothing short of stunning. The two rooms (full kitchen, living room with sofa bed, master bedroom with jacuzzi overlooking the sea and two bathrooms) were amazing- bright, airy and very clean with fantastic views and private balcony.
The advantage, of course, to staying in Club Regina is that you can cook many of your own meals and save money. It would seem from the reviews on this website that the majority of guests who complained were staying in the hotel.
Many of the grumbles were also about the expense of the food and other services. But when you book yourself into a luxury, five-star resort, in an area known to be expensive, what do you expect?
Yes, the food isn't cheap, but it isn't outrageously expensive either, unless you plan on eating a three-course meal with alcohol every night.
I would highly recommend the Mexican night, held every Monday. All you can eat buffet and open bar for just $40 per person. The food was wonderful, there was also entertainment, various souvenir stalls and fireworks.
The La Cascada restaurant has a nightly buffet, as well as a regular menu. We had the seafood buffet on Wednesday night. It was $45 per person, but well worth the money - all the lobster, prawns, fish, steak, chicken, salads etc... you can eat. And it was absolutely delicious. You also eat out in the open air, overlooking the pools and the ocean.
We did not have a bad meal once at this resort. The food is fantastic and portions are generous.
The staff at the Westin are also outstanding. Everyone was extremely courteous, friendly and attentive and they virtually all spoke good English.
There are seven pools to choose from, all looking out to sea, and there are plenty of loungers for everyone, as well as umberellas and towels. We took our own drinks in a cooler to save money.
You can also sunbathe on the beach, but you can't swim in the sea as the waves are too strong. But you are never far away from a pool if you fancy a dip.
When you get to the airport you will encounter a number of timeshare reps trying to get you over to their desks. But we just walked straight through, with no problems at all.
We had also hired a car, which is strongly recommended if you want to get out and about and see the local towns or travel to a beach where you can swim.
We were asked to go to a timeshare presentation when we checked in. We were planning not to go, but changed our minds as we were given 20% off all food and drink in the resort (except room service). You also get a free breakfast buffet. They were not aggressive, although they try really hard to sell you a timeshare, and we were out within a couple of hours.
There are a number of trips you can take, especially if you like water activities. However, if you want to go snorkelling, and have a car, drive yourself to the nearby Chileno beach, where you can hire snorkelling gear for around $12 for the day.
You only have to swim a few yards from the beach to see the marine wildlife, and it is much cheaper than taking a boat trip which takes you to the same place.
Cabo San Lucas and San Jose are both nice towns to visit, with plenty of places to eat. If you fancy a change from Mexican food, I would highly recommend Baan Thai in San Jose. The food is delicious and reasonably priced.
My husband and I both agree the Westin is the best five-star resort we have stayed in and would definitely return - although at a different time of year as the the weather was very hot and humid.
5 nights at Club Regina
Club Regina (separate from the Westin Regina Hotel). The Accomodations were wonderful.
The Suite:
- two separate rooms adjacent to one another
- sofabed, television, balcony, bathroom, and kitchen in one room
- king size bed, jacuzzi, television, and bathroom in adjacent room
The Service:
- wonderful... the staff was very very friendly...
- we came back from an outing one day and found the bathroom in impeccable condition; our swimsuits (which we had left hanging on a clothes hook) were strung along a clothes line inside the shower to dry...
- the toiletries we had left on the bathroom counter (facewash, body spray, sunblock, contact lens solution, etc.) were laid out neatly atop a small terry cloth they had placed in the corner
- the maids come in in the late afternoon for turndown (they make up the sofa bed for the night... open it up, set up the pillows and turn the sheets down for you; they do the same for the king bed as well)
- the drivers of the "canitas" (the transportation carts) are very friendly... (if you are staying in club regina, the canitas are very helpful because the paths from the rooms to the lobby and other areas of the resort are fairly steep and the distances are walkable, but it's a little bit of a walk)
- views were great.... only drawback is that you cannot really go out into the ocean to swim.... the waves are very very strong... and there are rocks near the shore...
- there is normally a lifeguard on duty... and guests often try and play with the waves... but are discouraged from stepping too far into the water...
- in any case, the waves are just amazing, you can watch them for hours at a time...
- pool areas are great as well...
I would highly recommend this resort... absolutely beautiful... beyond words....
Important items you do not want to forget:
- sunscreen
- a good sized beach bag to put in items you want to take with you on your outings
- aloe vera
- baby wipes/wet ones/paper towels
- dollars/pesos for tips
First Time in Cabo
We just got back last night from a 7 day stay at the glorious Westin Regina. My husband and I traveled with another couple and used their time share club to get two suites in the Club Regina which is part of the hotel. Our rooms were fantastic suites with amazing veiws of the Sea of Cortez with kitchen living room and seperate bedroom with a jacuzzi that overlooked the ocean we also had two full bathrooms. The Club Regina and hotel staff were so helpful always friendly and wanted to see if there was anything they could do to make our stay better. The beach was immaculate you can go in the water when the tide is not high and the pools (7) are amazing. As I had discovered from reading all of the reviews about the area before we went the food is rather expensive (but nothing different from Maui when we have gone there). We caught fish one day and had them prepared that night at the hotel which was fun - they also froze the rest so that we could take it home. We took someone else's advise from the reviews and rented a car - that was definately the way to go. Took a trip to Todos Santos one day- it's about 1 1/2 hours away and a beautiful drive. We had our best meal there at a road side vendor Barajas Tacos. You have to have the shrimp tacos and fish tacos they are huge and cost about a dollar a piece. We paid 6 dollars for the whole meal for two. If you go look for Mauricio down at the beach he seems to be in charge of things down there and will set up your lounge chairs and give you great advise on everything from things to do to where to eat. He sent us to El Meson de Zapata (fish and meat tacos, soups etc.) and Mariscos Mazatlan (seafood, lobster etc. have the shrimp we all agreed it was the best) Both of those restaurants are in Los Cabos. You have to go to Ristorante Da Giorio II at sunset (it's one of the best views around). We ate at Damiana in San Jose the most wonderful coutyard restaurant very colorful with tangled trees overhead and great staff - the guacamole was really good.
On our last day we had some time to kill before getting to the airport and drove around to all of the hotels we had seen on the internet to see what else was out there. We came to the conclusion that Cabo San Lucas is to "busy" for us but if you are young and looking for night life you would probably enjoy it the most. San Jose had one place that looked interesting to us but the Corridor offered us what we were looking for - peace relaxation and the most beautiful views and beaches, with our choice to drive in to Los Cabos for a bit more "action and activity" or go the other direction to San Jose for more mexican flavor.
It is a great country with very friendly people. I hope everyone has as good a time as we did we would go back to the Westin Regina anytime.
Very pleased with Westin Regina and LOVED Cabo
My husband and I stayed at Club Regina in the Westin Regina in Los Cabos 10/18 - 10/24. The accomodations were spacious and clean, but a bit outdated. The walk in shower was marvelous, but the in room jacuzzi left a bit to be desired. Nonetheless, it was relaxing to be in a bathtub overlooking the sea! We were using his folks timeshare, so I really can't complain about free accomodations. What makes this hotel different from the others is the architecture and location. It is literally built on the side of a mountain overlooking the Sea of Cortez. It's beautiful! It's a huge resort - so big that they pick you up in golf carts to shuttle you from place to place. We never had to wait more than a few minutes to pick us up and we found the golf cart staff to be one of the Westins best assets. Very, very friendly and knowledgeable. All of their employees very wonderful. The entire resort was very clean and the pools were great. So relaxing to hang on the side of an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. There isn't much beach because of the mountain location, so if you need a huge beach, this isn't the resort for you. The restaurants served wonderful food, but as mentioned in other reviews it is pricey. The bar drinks were also over priced, but hey, we were on vacation. Splurged a bit on that. I did see people bring their own beverages to the pool area and no one said anything to them. As for the time share gig that they try to get you to attend...they do approach you as soon as you check in and make it sound like it's just an orientation of the hotel and all that it has to offer. But we knew better. We just told the girl we'd be there for the 10 AM presentation the next day, but never showed up! She did call 2 days in a row and left a message on our machine, but we never returned her call, and by the third day she figured out that we weren't interested. And we truly were not interested, no matter how much free stuff they gave you! One of the best things we did was rent a car through AAA at home. A shuttle from the airport took us right to the Hertz place. We stopped at a grocery store to load up on munchies and drinks. (Club Regina rooms do have a full kitchen and a small stocked refrigerator-again way over priced), so get your coffee, pop, beer, bottled water and other goodies at a store before you get to the hotel. There is a small deli type store right in the hotel, but things are much cheaper at a "Super Mercado". Yes, there is a shuttle into town at the hotel, but we don't like being on someone else's schedule. Plus, we had so much fun just driving around, exploring the towns, different restaurants, shops, etc. We drove to Todos Santos one day and it was great. It's about an hour and a half North of Cabo San Lucas. Beautiful drive along the Pacific. We had a nice lunch at "Hotel California" and an excellent, excellent dinner at Los Adobos. Gourmet Mexican cooking at its best. Speaking of food....in San Jose breakfast at the Tropicana was great and in Cabo San Lucas, I highly recommend Mi Casa Del Mar for authentic Mexican cooking. It's near the fire station. Another wonderful place to eat was La Golondrina, also known as The Trailor Park. It's an open air place with a huge banyon tree right in the middle of it. Candles, and soft lights were all around. Very romantic, but not fancy at all. The deep fried red snapper was out of this world! We've been to Cancun and Playa Del Carmen before and I loved those places as well, but Cabo is more old world Mexican. Not tropical like the Carribean side, but beautiful because of the mountains and desert. Don't forget to bring mosquito repellent. I got bit up! And exchange your money at a bank, you get a much better rate. Viva Mexico!

Day 6 - unexpected start
... a hostage negotiator specialist in England and now one in Bali who have given us nothing in terms of information a viewer needed. When the stretchers came out, it was obvious there were people on them and the reporter stated that stretchers have come out with nothing but medical equipment when we clearly saw legs and arms lying down, reported the wrong number of hostages that fled from the restaurant, and they didn't even know that one ...
Day 5
... band and then some people came and made balloon ...things, penis', vaginas, monkeys humping etc, see the photos. We all left to go to Squid Roe which is a quintessential Cabo bar, lots of Jell-O shots and whistles. We had a bunch of drinks and were about to leave when the Mayweather vs Maidana fight started, so we all stayed to watch it. We were back home around midnight and some stayed up for god knows how long because we went out like a light Really fun ...

Monday, ROAD TRIP! 3 hours driving from Cabo San Lucas to reach Playa Tecolote. We stopped off in Todos Santos to take a picture outside Hotel California, the inspiration behind The Eagles song. Sweet. The road trip took us through La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur, and the views were amazing. It reminded me of our Vegas road trip, just this time with more cacti and incredible views ...

We stayed in a spa hotel during our stay in Los Cabos, this hotel was called Bel Air Collection.

Each room had its own kitchen and a super size bathroom. To this, my brother and I took advantage ...

But after dropped points at Cardiff and Stoke, City are already off the pace at the top of the table and all of a sudden Sunday's Manchester derby seems an even more daunting prospect than it usually would.
However, given that United have already lost at Liverpool and drawn to Chelsea, the rivals are level on points and this clash arguably represents the season's first genuine six-pointer despite the campaign's nascence.
Though the gulf in quality between the sides has been closed dramatically in the last few years with the money City have spent, the Manchester sides are usually separated one way or another when they meet.
They have drawn only one of their last 20 meetings in all competitions: a 0-0 at the Etihad in November 2011. And whilst City's 6-1 victory at Old Trafford two years ago sticks in the mind, low-scoring affairs have been the name of the game across town.
Last season's 3-2 win for United was the first league meeting between the sides at the Etihad since 2006 that produced more than one goal. They are rarely drab affairs, but goals have been hard to come by on the Blue side of the city.
City will be hoping, though, that a slow start to life under Manuel Pellegrini will be forgotten with a positive result on Sunday, and after the second half trouncing of Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League on Tuesday, optimism will certainly be greater than it was after the dour and wholly uninspiring goalless draw at Stoke the weekend previous.
Though there might have been a few of City's first-teamers missing with the trip to Czech Republic in mind, the performance at the Britannia would not have filled fans with a great deal of confidence that the squad - supposed to be one of the stronger, at least in terms of depth - can deal with the constraints of fighting in Europe, which Pellegrini has prioritised, and in three competitions domestically.
City's three competitive wins this season have come against undeniably weaker opposition, and while the victories over Plzen and Newcastle were convincing, the 2-0 win over Hull was rather more hairy. Sone Aluko missed as good a chance as he'll get in the top flight when he dragged a one-on-one wide of Joe Hart's post, while Danny Graham was an extremely tight offside decision away from ending what has now become a 19 hour, 22 minute drought without scoring.
Accordingly, it has been defensively where City have had worries. They have created chances and scored freely, converting a higher proportion of their shots (13.8%) than any other team in the Premier League this season.
But at the back - where Vincent Kompany has just returned from injury - there have been problems and they were exposed brutally by lowly Cardiff. The three strikes in that game might have been the only goals Pellegrini's City have conceded, but the Welsh side had good chances to add to their lead. Meanwhile, only two teams have missed more clear-cut chances in a Premier League game this season than Stoke did against the Citizens.
Pellegrini's Malaga were not the most solid defensively, and the likes of Fernandinho and Yaya Toure will have to provide more protection for the defence when United come to visit on Sunday. With Kompany back they will be severely strengthened, but this Sunday could well be a chance for David Moyes to win over some doubters by exploiting a Manchester City defence that has its weaknesses.

This is a typical obvious, one-day factory porn.

|Plant the C4 in 'Cliffhanger' without alerting or injuring anyone in the blizzard.
This can be done in any difficulty. After you climb the ice and kill both sets of enemies, you and Soap will separate and a blizzard will appear. Take out the gun with the heartbeat sensor and crouch towards the objective. Do not kill or injure anyone and make sure you aren't caught. If you are caught, you can restart from the last check point. Wait for the guard near the objective to move near the car and pass next to him. Do not go inside the building. Move towards the other building on your left, and head towards the edge of it (near the small hill). Soap should mention something about a car but just keep going. There should be one or two dots in your sensor but they can't see you. Ignore Soap when he says there are enemies on the runway, just keep going and plant the C4.
Another way to do this is to follow this video by Mistical:

Great Beginnings: Getting Back to Your Roots-Sweet Potato, Tempeh and Spinach Burrito
A few weeks ago, I shared a delicious way to prepare tempeh making a bacon sandwich. If you missed my recipe and have questions about tempeh, check out my blog post at http://healthconceptsnutrition.com/blog/2015/02/great-beginnings-breakfast-tempeh-bacon-sandwich/Today I want to share with you a tasty burrito idea using tempeh and local produce this time of year, sweet potatoes and baby greens. These past several weeks, I have been focusing on breakfast ideas, root veggies and starting seeds for your garden. This burrito makes a easy healthy dinner recipe or a lunch recipe and is a great way to try some plant based cooking.
This burrito was inspired by one that I had in Boone about 10 years ago at a restaurant that is no longer there. It is has been enjoyed by vegetarians and meat eaters a like. Toasting the tempeh in the skillet makes it a beautiful brown and gives it a nutty flavor.
Sweet Potato, Tempeh and Spinach Burrito
1 large sweet potatoes, organic if possible and local
1 package tempeh (I like to use the local Smiling Hara Tempeh http://www.smilingharatempeh.com/ )
2 cups cooked black beans
1/2 medium onion chopped
1-2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups fresh spinach or other local greens
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (I have been using some from my window seal).
1/2 cup salsa (we use the one that we canned http://healthconceptsnutrition.com/blog/2012/09/tomato-reminiscing/
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4-6 whole wheat tortillas
Olive oil
To Roast Sweet Potatoes and Onions
Cube sweet potatoes into 1/2 by 1/2 pieces. Place on cookie sheet along and toss with about 1 teaspoon olive oil. Roast in oven at 425 degrees and add onion. Roast 5-8 minutes or until potatoes and onion are soft and caramelized.
To make tempeh
Cube tempeh into 1/2 by 1/2 pieces. Saute it in a small amount of oil in a cast iron skillet on medium heat, turning every 5 minutes until browned on most sides. Add chili powder, cumin and garlic to brown lightly. Add about 1/3 cup of water and turn down low and simmer about 5-10 minutes.
Mix potatoes with tempeh and mix together. To assemble burrito, add 1 cup filling, 1/3 cup spinach, 1 tablespoon cheese and 1 tablespoon salsa. Roll it up like a burrito or fold in half like below. You can make a quesadilla or even use for a nacho filling! You can also add sour cream or Greek yogurt and guacamole if desired!
Makes 4-6 servings
Give this recipe a try and share with your friends on social media! You guys will be in for a treat! Let me know how you like it!
