MONTREAL – A hospital emergency room might not be the best place for the sick and elderly. The risk of acute infection – mostly respiratory and gastrointestinal viruses – following a trip to the emergency room is three times higher among the elderly, according to a study published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Long-term care patients who spent a few hours in an emergency facility were more likely to get sick in two to seven days after returning to their nursing homes.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 142
Rated 5 out of 5 by SleeplessinStockholm Praise to Khaldoun the desk clerk
My employer booked me into brand X hotel nearby. I had an urgent project for work and desperately needed an electrical adapter to connect my computer to the wall outlet and brand X hotel was indifferent to my need. So I visited other hotels in the area to see if I could buy an adapter. It being after midnight, none could help me--that is, until I walked into the Sheraton. There, I explained my need to Khaldoun, the Sheraton desk clerk. Though I wasn't staying at the Stockholm Sheraton hotel, I told him my status as an SPG Gold member. Without a question, Khaldoun reached into a drawer and simply GAVE me the much-needed adapter: no charge, no deposit, no hassle. With the adapter, I was able to complete the urgent project before the start of business the next day. Khaldoun saved me and earned my deep gratitude to Sheraton. Khaldoun's empathy and customer-focused attitude does great credit to Sheraton. Give him a raise!
Yours truly,
Sleepless in Stockholm
p.s. When I checked out of brand X hotel, I ordered them to deliver the adapter back to Sheraton. May it help the next traveler in need.
Rated 5 out of 5 by laser45 Excellente situation
l'hôtel est indéalement situé au centre de Stockholm, à deux pas de Gamla Stan.
Rated 5 out of 5 by feranora Great hotel in a very good location
I spent 2 days (1 night) in Sheraton with my brother. The hotel is in a very good location, easy to go to the city centre by walk.
Our room was amazing with a beautiful view. We also loved the breakfast selection. I also tried the dinner in the restaurant which was delicious too. The waiter was very helpful and professional and made sure we are enjoying our meal. We were hesitating what to choose from the menu and I trusted his recommendation and loved the food. Unfortunately I forgot his name. However I remember Dimitris from the bar who made the best cocktail I have tried ever! He was very friendly, professional and I was amazed the way he was preparing the drinks and playing with the shaker! WOW! He really impressed us a lot! He was interacting with us and made sure we are having a good time. And yes we did!
The only thing I could comment about is the information we have received from the Front Desk. I was looking for the Concierge but they said they dont have any so I was asking for tour recommendation from one of the receptionists. As we only had 2 full days we wanted to see as many thing is possible in Stockholm. Unfortunately we have received wrong information regarding to several activities. The person behind the desk sent us to a wrong location to buy ticket of the boat tour. Also she said that being beginning of April only boat excursion is available which is wrong as the hop on hop off bus was already operating which we really wanted to do. Beside that she advised to go up to the city hall to take some nice pictures of the city but when we arrived there we were informed that during this period the tower is still closed and they didnt let us go up. We were a bit disappointed.
Otherwise we were very happy with our stay at the Sheraton and will definitely go back!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nulsta Good to be back
The last times I have been to Stockholm, there has not been any available rooms at Sheraton. In April 2013 I was back for three trips and I'm happy to say I was able to stay at Sheraton all three times. It was good to be back. The rooms are nice, the staff is very service minded, the food is excellent and the Fitness center is really good. I hope you have a room for me on my next trip.

Rated 5 out of 5 Great hotel
We had a great stay at Hotel Sheraton in Stockholm.
Good room and nice staff and good location.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kitten56 A Stay to remember
From our first arriving at the Sheraton Stockholm Hotel to our checking out our experience was very positive.
Veronica, the team member who booked us in on our first day, was very helpful. Not only explaining all we needed to know to get the best from the hotel but also telling us about the 'must see' places and the 'must do' things we ought to include in our visit. This helpfulness was something we found common to all the staff and, even if we did not need assistance, they always had a friendly greeting and/ or an enquiry as to how our day went ready.
Our room was very clean, well furnished and warm, but what amazed us both was how quiet the hotel was although we knew it was busy. We were not disturbed by noise from any other guests at all. The room was cleaned every day and we were surprised on our third day when the hotel maintenance knocked on our door asking if they could change a light in the bathroom which the chambermaid had reported as not working. Basically it was fixed before we noticed it wasn't working!
The breakfast offered was plentiful and varied with something for everyone and plenty of tea and coffee on demand. The restaurant was spotless and kept that way by the waiters and waitresses who cleaned tables and replenished empty serving dishes constantly, but without intruding on the guests.
The evening meals available in the restaurant were also of a very high standard.
All in all we had a wonderful experience at this hotel and have decided to try and find other hotels in this group to stay at for any future trips abroad. I would recommend the Sheraton Stockholm to anyone.
Rated 5 out of 5 by suman514 Stay here - great location, service and rooms!
I booked this hotel on points and wasn't quite sure what to expect (it's been hit and miss on the rooms when I've booked with points). My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised by the location, the service and our room.
The hotel is in a great location. It's a 5 min walk from the main train station and is located at the foot of one of the old town bridges. It's also a 5 min walk to the main shopping area which is just behind the hotel, and 30-40 mins walk to the Vasa Museum (must see!).
Our room was larger compared to other European hotels we've stayed at. Hardwood floor entrance in our room made it feel luxurious, the bathroom was big and looked brand new (equipped with standard Sheraton Shine toiletries) and our king-size bed was comfortable with lots of space to move around. Our room had a view of the old town which was beautifully lit with Christmas lights – magical!
Service at check-in and check-out was quick, efficient and polite. I think the attached restaurant is Michelin recommended, but we didn't get a chance to try it out.
Ask for a room facing the Old Town (Gamla Stan)
Highly recommend this hotel.
Happy travels!

Illustrator improved upon one of the greatest assests in Illustrator with the new CS3, the Dashed Line Tool.
I use the dash line tool so much it appears on almost every one of my pages, especially those with tech, or set in a sci-fi setting. Whenever I need to make interesting computer displays or GUI (Graphic User Interface) I make a bunch of random lines in the horizontal and the vertical way, and then I apply the dash line tool to some of these, randoming the settings in the Dash Line box. I make lines with small gaps and long lines, and long gaps and small lines, and all sorts of random goodness.
When I have something extremely cool looking with dashes and gaps, I go in on a Layer above that and create a few more random dashed lines in white to break up the randomness even more.
Once I have all that foolishness in hand, I ground it and then draw a box around it like a computer screen and place it on whatever open computer wall I have drawn on my page, and i use the Free Transform tool to stretch that yummy goodness into perspective to line-up with the "monitor" I have drawn.
NOW-this problem has come up before, ( I talked to Adobe about fixing this, and they finally did in CS3), the dash lines will not look right in perspective because they keep the horizontal and vertical line around the dashes that were right when I made them. AND THERE IS NO WAY AROUND THIS IN ANY VERSION PRIOR TO ILLUSTRATOR CS3! You can't fix it by expanding or making outlines or nothin'!
But IN CS3 you select your dash line and presto, hit OBJECT>EXPAND and through the magic of little pixels Illustrator makes each dash you have created their very own individual item. You can now UNGROUP them if you wish, and delete one or two, or make some bigger, or smaller, OR THE BEST THING OF ALL, you can now use the FREE TRANSFORM tool to distort these items into perspective and it will look correct!!!
I'll post another entry tomorrow with a bunch of examples of where I did this in Iron Man and it was wrong, and how I got around it in Illustrator 10. I'll put up some version done in CS3 so you can see how cool this tool really is.
Try it on your own right now, and I'll see you tomorrow!

For most of my life, I have considered myself a "Fire" personality. I would become interested in something and I would become obsessed with it, consuming it until I learned everything that I could about it. Information was like oxygen and once I felt like I learned everything there was to learn about it and the oxygen ran out, I passed on to the next topic to feed my flames. I also used to be extremely passionate about things and quick to anger. I almost sought out debates so that I could argue with people about things. Because of these traits, I considered myself full of Fire and wanted to incorporate more Water into my life to balance it out. Now, coincidentally enough, I am almost TOO much of a Water personality. Now, I stay away from debates because the heaviness in the air bothers me and doesn't excite me anymore. I still get very interested in things and want to learn everything about it, but I feel like reflecting on it and finding a way to incorporate it into the life that I already lead instead of consuming it entirely is more valuable. Sometimes I consider myself almost like a Gollom in the sense that I enjoy privacy, almost to the point of having only one or two friends, and I like to sit back and watch now instead of jumping right into the action. When action used to be where you could always find me, now it completely intimidates me and feels too intense.
Two elements that I think I lack tremendously are Earth and Air. To me, Air is very emotional and, while I am very emotional, I feel like people with too much Air seem to be ultra-sensitive and take things too personally. Because Water dominates my personality right now, and I like negativity to pretty much wash off of my shoulders immediately instead of carrying it around, I have learned to be very unemotional with things. I also lack Earth and have lacked Earth all my life. I don't think Earth and I will ever see eye-to-eye except in the sense that I am very proud and connected to my heritage. I am not remotely connected to my place-of-birth or the area in which I grew up (once I graduated from high school, I chose a college on the other side of the country from where I grew up). The funny thing is when I was a little girl, I used to watch the movie The Little Mermaid probably 3-4 times a day. I was absolutely obsessed with that movie (Fire). When I grew up, I noticed that the things that Ariel does in the movie, I pretty much copied in my own life. Ariel falls in love with a man not of her world and leaves behind her life to be with him in a life that she has always been fascinated with. This, to me, is a lack of Earth because Ariel, and also myself, are not comfortable rooting where we were raised. We want to see more. We want to leave the familiar and see the unknown around the world.
What do you guys think of yourselves? What elements do you have and what elements do you lack? Most of all, how do you define the elements? What personalities do you think THEY have?

Designers Anders Fallman and Kjell Hagstrom envisioned a world where children's furniture could coexist harmoniously with the grown-up variety. So after listening to parents and observing children, they created just that - functional, yet stylish furniture for children. Their styles feature bent wood because of its strength and security, but also because it is an attractive natural and lightweight material that stays true to Swedish design. The Svan line is sleek, beautiful and complimentary to your home's design. Svan is the answer to Mom and Dad's for radiantly appealing and sound furnishings for their child.

You forgot the disclaimer about your employer.

Lear all you can. how can he do less work and not create bugs? (if he creates bugs, stop fixing his work and let the problem fix itself)
All in all, he is you tomorrow. You will get like him. Maybe there's a reason for that. maybe it's just indifference that comes with age. either way, i'd recomend you to learn his ways and start sooner, for as soon as you start that, you will get better pay, more respect, and a youger idiot to clean up after you.
Sure it was.

It was because they wanted this money and they lost. They literally gambled with company money.
Not true, this worked for the guy, Adria Richard, from the dongle-gate
This pretty much debunked the myth that being a woman in tech is difficult and that is kjust because women opt to do other things that we don't see them around. And that the whole issue is around only for a few individuals special interests.
What i really want to see is someone pull that coverage by being a 50-60 yr old male white developer. The only group that really is absent in tech despite trying.
yeah, didn't see how this is "new". but i'm sure they will get all the patents and billionaire grants.
aymous coward couldn't be wronger.
Ubuntu makes you dumb. period.
your goal is to find a distro with good documentation. if you are 200% serious, I'd say start with openBSD. not Linux perse, but it's the only place where documentation issues are considered high priority bugs. also you will learn a lot more about best practices (the main reason I think the parent is being obnoxious as suggestion Ubuntu for someone who is clearly already abusing sudo more than he/she should)
also, I'd say 90% of

Finally a office suite not forcing me to store all mydata on their servers.
Though be warned, it will download some 20mb of qt libraries. On my nexus one, this raises the bar on if i can even have the app by a huge margin
They say odt format is not available yet (with a typo missing the "not" on the store no less)
So, if your backup is already online, let's say a vps, you would be sending everything unencrypted to the machine you can't really trust and encrypting there?
Sadam was pretty much dying and there was a middle class elite in the country. That's the recipe for a Pacific revolution... Why do you think that was the timing for invasion?
Without sadam there would be no control.it would be an autonomous country.
Only a neckbeard would say that.

Canadian Oil Sands Analytics
Using an integrated approach, IHS CERA has developed a new service to address the upstream, downstream, pipeline, and environmental and regulatory issues that have an impact on the Canadian oil sands.
Canadian Oil Sands Analytics (COSA) is an online repository of up-to-date production information and detailed supply, demand, and pricing outlooks. In addition to the datasets, IHS CERA provides supporting analytical reports of the key issues affecting the Canadian oil sands to help decision-makers assess the economic viability of new and existing oil sands projects. Canadian Oil Sands Analytics (COSA) offers critical insight to support your oil sands strategy.
Oil Sands operators have spent an average of $14 billion per year over the last four years in Alberta. Yet while spending continues to increase, there is no comprehensive source for Canadian oil sands economic outlook data—a profound knowledge gap that COSA will eliminate—and which will decrease the risk when undertaking these massive investments. COSA offers access to a unique combination of datasets—an oil sands project database, production, price, capital cost, and labor outlooks, and provides projections and regular updates on the many issues that could affect oil sands investments, including project and policy changes that influence outlooks. COSA clients not only benefit from an unmatched level of oil sands economic coverage, but can also rely on the IHS CERA proven track record in the oil sands sector via the Oil Sands Dialogue, as well as our global expertise in oil markets, capital costs, macroeconomics, and natural gas markets. Whether you represent an operator, a government body, an equipment supplier, or an investor, COSA evaluates risks and rewards, and informs strategic decision-making.
Who uses the service? Why? All participants along the Canadian oil sands value chain who are currently invested or looking to invest in the Canadian oil sands, including:
- Oil sands producers
- NOCs or Independents looking to invest in oil sands
- Financial institutions
- Service providers
- Government
- To create winning business models around oil sands investment strategies
- To validate internal forecasts with independent 3rd party expertise
- To determine which projects to finance
- To access supply, demand, labor, and cost projections to create your business plan
- To assess policy changes and their potential impacts
Regular Updates

Sharp's Quattron 9 series LC-70LE945
Sharp's strategy is to go big with its LED line: The company introduced more than 20 models with a 60-inch or larger screen size at CES. Its Quattron 9 series 3D LED models (available this summer), which will arrive in 60- and 70-inch screen sizes, are 240Hz sets that feature full array LED backlighting with local dimming and the company's yellow-pixel-adding Quattron Quad Pixel Plus II technology. They also have built-in Wi-Fi and Sharp's new SmartCentral GUI.
Also forthcoming from Sharp is the Quattron 8 series 3D LED line, slated to land this April in 60-, 70-, and 80-inch screen sizes. The 80-inch LC-80LE844U has a full array backlight while the other sets are edge-lit. Otherwise, the feature set for all models is the same as for the Quattron 9 series.
The CES is always the birth place of up and coming electronics, where future products get their first taste of public viewing. Many products get their debut at the show, but there are also many that die out because of lack of interest of development that just stopped. I can see the focus on TVs, 3DTVs and the like. Hopefully next year we can see more of those.

History of Serenes Forest
Posted 02 October 2009 - 01:11 PM
History of Serenes Forest
(By VincentASM)
Angel Sword (Geocities)
The first iteration of the site was created on Yahoo! GeoCities, a free webspace provider, around October 2004. Incidentally, Geocities is set to close during late October 2009, the UK and Ireland part at least, which isn't long off at the time of writing. Back then, the site was simply known as "Angel Sword" (the name of an original RPG series that will never see the light of day) and served as a filler homepage for the webmaster. You know, since it was always cool to have a homepage of your own, even if you never updated it afterwards.
Around the same time, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones had just been released in Japan and naturally fans, Japanese or otherwise, were anxious to see what the game was like. Fortunately, the webmaster was part of a mysterious organisation who were sent a ROM image of the game as an early "Christmas present" and quickly blazed through the game to get a feel for it. There were many English fans who were also playing the game, either via import or emulation, and the trickiest thing for people to figure out was how to recruit some of the characters.
Taking some initiative, the webmaster thought it would be useful to compile a character recruitment guide for The Sacred Stones to aid troubled fans, especially after receiving so much Fire Emblem-related help in the past themself. Consequently, a few people commented that the page was quite helpful and all was well in the world. So, the site was a simple homepage with just one Fire Emblem content page, but it was a start.
Angel Sword: Memories (Tiscali)
The lack of freedom with Geocities was a bit annoying, and thus it was time to search for something better. However it probably wasn't going to be an easy task and the thought of paying for webspace existed, but alas the webmaster had no easy means of paying online. After time passed, something suitable did appear and it was right under our noses all this time. The webmaster's own internet provider, Tiscali, provided its members with a fairly decent free webspace package. Being a customer already, it couldn't hurt to squeeze the worth out of this offer...
Well, Tiscali's free webspace ended up being much useful than expected. After testing it out for a couple of days and checking all the notes and disclaimers, it was evidently time to start moving. 1st February 2005 was when the new site was ready, under a new name Angel Sword: Memories (to make the site's acronym the same as the last part of the webmaster's username ASM). There was a change of scenery, involving a cheaply made banner, navigation buttons and a repeating sky blue cloud background. Afterwards, Fire Emblem content was slowly but surely being added.
In case people were wondering what Angel Sword was, there were a few pages dedicated to it during this time, although the webmaster prefers to forget about them. The Angel Sword name was also used for forum-based RPGs played in Fire Emblem style (maps, stats, battles and all) that the webmaster used to organise. Some older fans might recognise the name "Miracle of the Sky Dagger", which was one of the popular forum RPGs a long ago, which was based on the Angel Sword universe (technically a spin-off universe to remove continuity issues). Eventually all Angel Sword pages were scrapped for various reasons.
Around May 2005, The Sacred Stones was released in North America. The webmaster was a bit of a bad boy and was amongst a few who obtained the ROM image days ahead of the official release date. By the time the game was released in shops, many forum goers were shocked to find a strong resource already and with all the proper English names and changes as well. At this stage, the site was probably a small, reputable Fire Emblem site that you wouldn't mind linking to, but not nearly enough fans knew of its existence still. There was a forum at one time, but it quickly died.
Serenes Forest
During 7th November 2006, the site received a substantial facelift and henceforth became known as "Serenes Forest", named after a wonderful location from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. The blinding sky blue colour scheme was binned in favour of a blinding forest green colour scheme. On the plus side, we got a great banner from Tiltyu and the site finally started using css, coded by Rookie (which was a necessity after racking up so many pages). This was also when the frame-based navigation was dumped and the site was given the slogan "a pretty good Fire Emblem fan site". To this day, nobody probably knows what that meant.
From 25th November 2006, affiliates were added, so Serenes Forest was no longer an outcast from the rest of the fandom. The first two affiliates to join were fellow UK site Fire Emblem Online, as well as FE Planet, famous for their extensive sprite and media collection. Around this time, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn was nearing its Japanese release so it looked like a great time to start moving up the Fire Emblem world. Around March 2007, some The Sacred Stones pages were submitted to the English Fire Emblem Documentary (EFED), which was the leading Fire Emblem data site then.
A domain
One of the greatest changes occured around 20th June 2007 when the site finally got itself a domain name, serenes-forest.net. This name, along with the hosting, was provided by Jyosua, who was probably better known at the time as somebody who wouldn't stop trying to evade his ban at the Fire Emblem: Sanctuary of Strategy (FESS) forums. Tiscali's webspace was pretty cool, but paid webspace is always better. Two days later, the Serenes Forest forums were opened. Unfortunately, a month or so later, the entire site died after the server it was hosted on was attacked. Nothing could be salvaged, so the site was moved back to Tiscali.
Back to Tiscali
Around 22nd November 2007, images hosted on the webmaster's Photobucket account died after the bandwidth quota was exceeded. There were a few times throughout the site's history where this occured. This time, it was caused by the recent release of Radiant Dawn in North America. In fact, the Radiant Dawn section of the site became so popular that the bandwidth limit at Tiscali, itself, was reaching its limit. To prevent the site from dying, the webmaster was forced to split the Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn sections from the rest of the site and host them on another Tiscali name (Tiscali lets you register 6). However in the end, even this wasn't good enough and the Radiant Dawn section had to be split into two!
By the way (although I doubt anybody would be interested), the 6 names registered under Tiscali include: angelsword (where Angel Sword: Memories was hosted of course), elaice (where Serenes Forest was hosted, Elaice is Ilyana's Japanese name), neyfa (ROM hacks were put in here, Neyfa is from TearRing Saga), tiena (probably where RPG-related things went, Tiena is from the Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi manga), tiara (where the Radiant Dawn section was moved to, Tiara is from Zwei!!, an adorable game by Falcom) and vocalstar (NomadicTrooperGirl's site).
Another domain
On 27th December 2007, Serenes Forest got itself a domain once again, donated by Jyosua. The webmaster sighed a breath of relief, no longer needing to spread the entire site over 3 or more names. A few days later, 9th January 2008, a new forum was added. Back then, the following message was posted to ease worries about the site dying like before: "Last time we lost our host due to events beyond our control, but I don't think we'll have any problems this time ^^" At the time of writing, the very same site and forums are still standing today.
With the influx of visitors from Radiant Dawn's English release, the site started becoming a (gasp) popular Fire Emblem site. As well extensive information for the recent English releases, fans were also delighted to see a decent amount of coverage for the lesser-known, but dearly loved, older titles. At the beginning of August 2008, the site passed 1,000,000 unique visitors. This was also near the time when Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon was released in Japan. Naturally, the webmaster worked many night shifts to get all the information ready for eager fans ASAP.
Bad news
On a side note, August 2008 was also when fellow fan site EFED closed after almost a year of inactivity. EFED's content was succeeded by FESS, so there wasn't any real loss to fans. Eaichu, the webmaster of EFED, once joked that he considered Serenes Forest a rival, so that the two sites could compete and both improve as a consequence. At the time, this site severely lagged behind EFED and didn't possess the same ambitions. In any case, EFED was one of the inspirations for this site, so it was sad to see it disappear.
Not long after EFED closed, on November 2008, FESS itself closed due to lowering interest. This was a sad day for many fans, as FESS had been the prominent Fire Emblem-centric community for many years. The webmaster of this site was a long-term member of FESS and learnt many things from there, related to Fire Emblem and website building. The administrator of FESS recommended any members still interested in Fire Emblem to register at Serenes Forest forums. Not surprisingly, the next few days were fairly hectic on this side, with an infamous clash between existing SF members and FESS members (which the webmaster facepalmed over).
During June 2009, this site suffered a major setdown after a serious attack on the server where it was hosted caused virtually all data to be lost. The main site was least affected, since most of the data was stored on disk anyway. However the forums had to be rollbacked to its version from 3 months ago. To prevent a similar situation from happening, the site was moved to a dedicated server and automatic backups were set more frequently.
Recent happenings
Besides the usual new pages and media, there hasn't really been many major changes to the site. On the forums side, the forum software was upgraded during July 2009 and the forums were without custom skins for 2 or 3 months. It was only during late September 2009 that the webmaster decided to restore the good ol' Serenes Forest skin out of boredom. Otherwise, stay tuned, because the site will always be improving, every little at a time. The webmaster is also hoping to revamp the site one more time in the distant future.

You should mention the recent time the server was hacked; i.e. the time when we lost about 3 month's worth of data.

First of all...Since it apparently wasn't mentioned here, I was wondering how and when Lord Glenn came into all of this.
Also, I didn't cover the forums in much detail since the forums aren't really my forte. If anyone wants to write a history about the forums, feel free o__o
Second, Lord Glenn was promoted to admin because of this:
The administrator of FESS recommended any members still interested in Fire Emblem to register at Serenes Forest forums.

Recently there has been big trouble for the diabetic drug-makers and bigger problems for the people who use the drugs. In fact, the popular drug Actos is now found to cause painful and bloody bladder cancer. Treating diabetes without medication is growing fast and one Europe Specialized diabetes diet has been found to reverse Type 2 diabetes drug free.
Deaths from Type 2 diabetes drugs
The Diabetes drug Avandia was removed from all Europe markets and now the United States, the drug was found to be causing the deaths of diabetics. At first doctors thought people were dying from diabetic complications but studies showed it was actually the diabetes drug that was ripping the heart muscle and causing fatal heart attacks. The drug maker Glaxo Smith Kline was just ordered to pay back 4 Billion dollars to the families. Documents show the drug maker made 50 Billion dollars in profit over the last 10 years. Diabetes without medication is what many are doing to reverse the illness naturally.
When researchers gave a Specialized diabetes diet to people in the Netherlands they were able to reverse type 2 diabetes drug free. The diet worked because it naturally reversed the damage from processed foods and removed the stubborn insulin that causes high blood sugar. With the damage from diabetic drugs many more will be treating their diabetes without medication.
The Europe diet that reverse Type 2 diabetes without drugs was shown on CNN and may be see here Diabetes without medication

March 14th: Cadbury Creme Egg
Kcal 170 Fat 6.0g Fat(sats) 3.7g Carbs 27.7g
What a place to kick off 'Jim's Easter Mission 2008' than with the most famous symbolic Easter chocolate in the universe - the Cadbury Creme Egg.
For those of you that are unaware of what one is (where have you been lol!!!) the product is in size the same as a standard meduim sized egg and is formed of a generous helping of creme fondant in the centre of a thick Cadbury Dairy Milk shell.
The egg comes in a very nice looking thing foil cover, which is traditionally covered in the famous red, yellow and blue colours. It certainly looks the part in the wrapper but the real treat is when it has been peeled away.
The famous slogan for Cadbury Creme egg is 'How do you eat your's??'...well here's how I ate mine. I left it for a few hours in my fridge...took the egg out and removed about 4 cm from the top of one of the ends. I then ate a large proportion of the fondant but left a small layer all around the chocolate shell inside; I then slowly bit by bit ate my way through the shell, letting eating bite melt in the mouth...a truly wonderful experience.
In terms of taste both components are glorious - the fondant centre somehow avoids being too sickly and has a glorious sweet tasting flavour. Its texture is brilliant as well - its thick and viscous yet smooth on the tastebuds - in a word sensual. The chocolate shell is thick and has that melt on the tongue aspect that Dairy Milk so successfully encompasses.
Overall what a great way to start my Easter reviews. The Cadbury Creme egg is an all time classic and its no wonder why its so popular and adored by the masses. The Creme Egg captures everything an Easter egg should be - fun to eat, pretty to look at and of course glorious to taste. This is going to take some beating in terms of finding a better Easter product. The only aspect that slightly lets the product down is its size...its so tasty you want more..this just leaves us one question!?...Cadbury where is our Super Sized/King Sized Cadbury Creme Egg! Welcome to the top 5 Creme Egg :)
...More Easter Goodies tomorrow

Yum......I love creme eggs. I bite the top off & lick the filling out. WOW! can you imagine what a giant sized egg would be like.....heaven to me. :D - March 15, 2008

I really dont understand the lack of Giant sized egg...maybe it is just me being greedy. No wonder its so popular though its an all time classic.
One thing I didnt mention was the egg format in comparison to the bar...thebars good but I dont know what it is about the egg..its just so much more enjoyable to eat - March 15, 2008
I swear Creme Eggs have got smaller over the years... maybe it's just me getting bigger! An absolute classic though, and another enjoyable review :) Rachel x

Hey Rachel they have indeed got smaller over the years :( I saw it featured on a programme the other day.CADBURYS MAKE A BIGGER EGG!!! Glad your enjoying the reviews :) its great hearing from people thanks for the comments. Jim
- March 15, 2008
For some odd reason, I absolutely detested the fondant. It was a bit too sweet for my taste. It didn't seem to pair well with the milk chocolate shell...just my 2 cents.
- June 14, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
Anon Thats not a whole lot of love for the Cadbury Creme egg is it lol! For some people its going to be way way to sweet so I can totally one hundred percent see your point...me though I really like it...I grew up eating them and I guess its partly a nostalgia thing. Thanks for the input
Jim - June 14, 2008

For the second consecutive year, Guy Chiarello '81, CIO of JPMorgan Chase, welcomed 83 TCNJ business students to a finance forum at the firm's Park Ave. headquarters in Manhattan. In addition to Dean William Keep and key administrative staff, they were joined by TCNJ President R. Barbara Gitenstein, finance faculty, and 24 alumni working in a variety of financial industries including Joe Knight '11 who is now an Analyst in Global Real Assets at JPM. The evening consisted of a formal discussion followed by a social networking reception, which was generously sponsored by Chiarello. Once again, Paul Sullivan '85, managing director at Merrill Lynch, served as moderator for an impressive panel of TCNJ alumni: Andrew Holzheimer '82, executive director, Investment Bank Technology at JPMorgan Chase; Gregory Peters '98, managing director at Morgan Stanley; and Laura Ritter '00, group vice president, Financial Reporting at PVH Corp.
Holzheimer responded regarding the "toughest career decision" he had to make: "Leaving the government after active duty and a successful military career. I took a gamble and retired at 42 with a pension and threw the dice to work in Mom and Dad's company. The grass is not always greener—it's brown everywhere. Be prepared to take some calculated risks to move forward."
Later, discussing issues of longevity and burn-out, he added, " You need the courage to make a change if it's not something you love. Knowledge is power; it gives you flexibility."
Peters addressed the question of labor mobility, "what factors can set you apart to move from the back to the front office?"
"The vast majority take the non-traditional path," said Peters. "It's about perseverance, relationship building, the ability to impress certain individuals. If you have a goal in mind, sometimes you have to suck it up to get the prize."
On the question of longevity and burn-out, he suggested, " Reinvent your selves as much as possible; but give yourselves time to unplug, relax."
Ritter shared her experience when asked "What career move did you regret?"
"Leaving PHV. I wanted to try doing something different, but when I left I wasn't happy with the change. It was a tough decision but I was excited to have the opportunity to go back," Ritter said.
She also addressed the question of longevity and burn-out: " Stick with it, putting in the extra hours when necessary, to learn more and grow with your career. Get as much training as possible along the way!"
Chiarello shared a memory of an early meeting with Keep, when he realized they valued the same attributes in employees and students: inquisitiveness, integrity, confidence and creativity. He closed the conversation with comments about choosing a fortune cookie message to live by. His own: "The harder you work, the luckier you get."

"Very Clean & New"
Reviewed May 10, 2013

This property is new and still undergoing a few landscaping issues, but overall it is very nice. Plenty of extra towels which is always nice. The bed was very comfortable. The front desk worked with me to get me a room on the ground floor near the door for our pet which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Odessa. I used my points so the $290 cost of the room didn't hurt so much, but it is the going rate due to the oil field boom which is very good for the economy but hard on the pocket book.

If you are in the Midland/Odessa area I would highly recommend La Quinta. Very clean- like new. Staff is extremely helpful and nice! i will defiantly be back again- soon Thank you for your service,never going anywhere else when I get to town. Ashley the manager is actually one of the best, she always knows what to recommend and is very nice about drinks and snacks. I actually saw here making waffles the next morning to help some visitors out- that is what I call great service!

Tjis is a fairly new hotel. The rooms were clean and in great shape. If you have a pet, this hotel is very pet friendly. They don't even charge you extra for your pet. Sometimes when you travel with pets, a hotel will put you in a room where it smells or isn't in great shape. Not the case here. This is a non smoking facility which was an nice plus for us.

"A good night's rest"
Reviewed Mar 3, 2013
Eliot S | Laurel, Maryland
We chose La Quinta primarily because of their pet policy, and this particular La Quinta because of it's location on our cross-country road trip. The breakfast was standard, nothing spectacular. Overall, the room was clean and fresh, and the service was fine. Maybe that comes with checking in at midnight and checking out the very next morning, but we did not experience any of the complaints below about service or cleanliness. Our bathroom was hardwood, not carpet. All the lights and fixtures worked just fine and the bathroom was clean. I left a bag in the hotel room and they shipped it out to me the next day. I also completed the survey and received a personalized response from the hotel's general manager, which was a very nice touch. All told, a good night's rest.
