The biggest ' miracle' in the foot zone so far, has been my nieces 13 year old son that was having problems going to the bathroom. He was having accidents and was so very embarrassed. She'd taken him to doctors, Chiropractors, Counselors, --nothing had worked. They came to for foot zones and he has been able to go to the bathroom every day since..he doing so much better!!!!!! I am ever grateful for you sharing the wonderful healing technique of Foot Zoning with me and the world.
- Karen
After learning the FFR technique, I began practicing on my 16 year-old son who usually doesn't like to be touched. However, he loves when I work on his feet and it has become a special bonding time for mom and son to connect.
Learning these skills has made a huge impact in my life! It greatly increased my understanding of emotion and energy and how they are connected to physical ailments.
My sister was in a lot of pain and needing a full foot zone. She was hoping to get some relief, but ALL of the pain disappeared. What a blessing to have the skills and knowledge to be able to help those I love!
Since taking the FFR program, I have felt a much stronger connection to my children and am more in tune with what is going on with them physically as well as emotionally.

The Illinois Fighting Illini are still trying to figure what happened last Saturday -- how they could give up just one completion to a struggling Ohio State squad and still lose. Head coach Ron Zook has taken the most flak this week for a couple of bizarre decisions during the game. Down 10 and facing a fourth and 2 within the Ohio State 20-yard line, Zook opted to go for the first down with just over a minute left, despite needing two scores to win or tie. Earlier, he elected to punt from the Ohio State 32, when a bolder call would have made more sense. Illini fans, for obvious reasons, were not amused.
Lucky for them, they face off against a Purdue Boilermakers club that simply isn't very good. Granted, losing by just five points to Penn State isn't necessarily cause to ring the alarm bells. Still, to date that is by far the most impressive thing the Boilermakers have done this season. A loss to Rice sticks out most of all, along with the 28-point gap between them and Notre Dame. Still, there is reason for hope if Purdue can find a way to stretch their few bright moments over 60 minutes. And as Hammer & Nails points out, llinois is nothing if not flawed.
Illinois is not Minnesota or SEMO. They are a ranked team coming in that has played surprisingly good football tot his point. They are, however, flawed. Western Michigan and Northwestern showed that they can be exploited defensively and Ohio State showed their offense can be slowed down. They're coming off of their first loss of the season, and other than the win over Arizona State they haven't beaten a really good team yet.
Saturday's game won't register much on the college football Richter scale this weekend, but it will mean a lot to two programs trying to save face. Purdue for the poor start to the season, Illinois for last week's massive egg.
Game date, time: 12:00 pm ET, Saturday, October 22
Location: Ross-Ade Stadium, West Lafayette, IN
TV channel: ESPN 2/ESPN 3
Spread: Illinois favored by 6½
Series history: Illinois leads, 42-37

The tearing of the flesh from grief and anguish of spirit in mourning for the dead was regarded as a mark of affection (Jer. 16:6; 41:5; 48:37).

Speech by Senator J. W. Fulbright
on the Civil Rights Bill
Mr. President:
There is a certain sadness surrounding the Senate's
debate on this bill HR7152 which can be experienced only by those
in this body who represent the South. Perhaps it is more
a feeling of frustration and resignation at being forced
to go through these biennial flagellations of our section
and our people. But it is an election year again and the
Senate is considering legislation designed to humiliate a
proud and sensitive section of our country. The Senate
is being asked to act under pressure of great stress and
emotion. Under such circumstances the views of those who
oppose this bill are not likely to receive the full and
careful consideration of either our colleagues or the news

Who lobbied for the Obama netroots gig?
by Jerome Armstrong, Thu Oct 07, 2010 at 12:52:10 AM EDT
I did? That's news to me. Actually, that lie is not new. I saw the lie reprinted in comments on blogs in 2007-08, and was told by numerous people that the Obama campaign staffers were spreading the rumor (as a reason for why I would dare criticize Obama), but I ignored it as childish.
Well, now that Ari Berman has peddled the lie in his new book, and folks have asked me about it, I think it deserves a refutation. Here's Ari recycling the lie:
Jim Brayton, who had the position on the exploratory committee, left the campaign because his wife was due to have a baby. Berman writes: "A lot of people now wanted his job--Joe Trippi lobbied him, as did former MoveOn and Dean organizer Zack Exley and popular blogger Jerome Armstrong. 'I became a very popular person,' Brayton joked. Brayton wanted Joe Rospars to replace him."
I heard firsthand that Clay Johnson (then of Blue State Digital) peddled the lie, I guess from the above it sounds like Jim Brayton was a source of Ari's, and who knows what other dubious source Ari had. If your sources can't be public on bullshit claims that are not even brought to the attention of the interested parties, do they really count as good journalistic sources?
This is the first I heard of Joe Trippi wanting to be the Obama internet director. Seriously Brayton/Rospars? Come on! And I don't have a clue about Zack Exley.
After Warner dropped out, and into early 2007, I helped place FTPAC staffers on about all of the campaigns, but made it clear up front that I was only interested in giving advice, tips and pointing to others that wanted to work with them.
When I confronted Ari about where he sourced it for his gossip book, we had a back and forth that I'll just reprint here for the record:
On Sep 30, 2010, at 12:36 PM, Jerome Armstrong wrote:
Ari, I never lobbied for Jim Brayton's job, who told you that and why didn't you ask me about it before you printed that lie?
I had no interest at all in doing it, or moving to Chicago, having SBNation to lead.
At the request of Gov Warner, to help place Forward Together PAC staffers, I was put into touch with Steve Hildebrand, who called and asked that I talk with Charles SteelFisher, who was slated to run the tech dept for Obama. The only time I ever talked with Brayton was on a conference call with him, xxx, Charles, and Steve. It was a blah blah blah talk, and I asked to talk alone with Steve after it was done alone, where I told him I'd taken a job with John Kerry, and woudn't be able to help out any further, but he could hire xxx maybe. You can ask either Trei (who was in the room) or Steve to back that up.
But its sorta late to check your facts.

Multiple sources inside the Obama campaign told me that. The book was properly fact-checked but we simply didn't have time to run every little detail by every person, especially when we had information on good authority. It's a very small detail in the book and your explanation is far too detailed for a quick summary. If you read the book, I'm confident you will like it.
You are calling me a liar now. Did you talk with Steve, did he say that? I forwarded on to you the entire context of my reaching out to them-- that I was trying to place Trei on their tech team.
Its one thing to be wrong, but quite another to then try and dig in and say its a fact.

Jerome - I never called you a liar, I only said that I had the info on good authority from multiple sources inside the Obama campaign.
Obviously, either your sources or myself is a liar. If you are standing by your sources, then you are calling me a liar.
And unless your source is Steve Hildebrand, then they are full of shit, because he alone is who I talked with, as the emails I sent you showed.

I understand why you have that opinion its a small topic, and I would normally not even care. However, staffers on the Obama campaign spread that rumor repeatedly during early 2008 on the blogs, in order to discredit any criticism I had of Obama as some sort of grudge. Its mighty petty, and its a shame that you peddled the lie.
That you are not even able to admit it (even after I sent you the entire context that is very clear), that you engaged in gossip speaks to your lack of credibility as far as I'm concerned.
Now, when I looked back at the original emails (mentioned above and re-printed in part below) from January 2007, it was interesting hindsight reading, and curious side note of Obama's campaign history.
In late December 2006, the main persons forming the Obama campaign, Hildebrand and Plouffe, had met with and slated the guy who did Deval Patrick's stuff, Charles SteelFisher, as being brought on to roll out a first website, and it was that way for about a month. Jim Brayton was leaving in April (new born-- good reason), so SteelFisher was going to be doing Obama's whole internet scene...
Now, that didn't turn out at all. Charles just didn't have the tech ready to go, as I noted in the below email in reply to Hildebrand (his sending me over a contact to help with the John Kerry work on Set A Deadline that I'd undertook) with some advice:
On Thu, Jan 25, 2007 at 9:40 PM, Jerome Armstrong wrote:
Thanks, that contact will come in handy I think.
I hope you'll reach out to xxx xxxxxxxxxx, and further along his involvement there. He's at xxx-xxx-xxxx
I know he likes Obama a lot more, but he told me tonight that he's getting the full squeeze from Hillary camp, with the Karen Hicks/Harold Ickes/Mike Henry treatment tomorrow in DC. I don't know why he would subject himself to such torture, but he's got a serious pres campaign bug going on.
...he did volunteer work for Dean in Texas/Iowa in '04 ...a real whiz, and you would have everyone in the Warner org (including the Gov) vouch for him if need be.
I would suggest you... have him team up with Charles in building out your tech plan/platform/team. XXXX would help to cut your dev time there. Charles is a terrific visionary, but XXXX would help with the large dose of pragmatics... You guys don't have time for the perfect to be built.
Lets meet down the road sometime, best, Jerome
Then I guess Blue State Digital and Joe Rospars came aboard in the following weeks. The prefect had already been built.
I always thought it was quite shaky ethically, for the DNC to have spent 2005-06 to build out the Blue State Digital internet platform (frontend and backend) for the Democrats.org website --having funded BSD with hundreds of thousand dollars included with putting BDS staffers on the DNC payroll-- and then for BSD to turn around and use the entire DNC-funded system, on a weeks notice, for Obama.
Regardless, I thought at the time it was a great move by Obama to snag the BSD platform just fresh out of the gate after ~$500K in DNC funding.
And I was psyched that XXXX didn't go to work for Obama, as I was able to bring him and his tech crew onto SBNation, while in the same period getting our first outside seed money, and beginning the transition to a real CEO that's brought the company to a valuation headed for 9 figures.

They say the best things in life come in small packages, although a blessing, premature babies come into this world extremely small and have to fight to survive. We were lucky to capture an impromptu reunion at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls with a Milbank family who spent nearly 3 months with their new baby in the NICU.
Most people don't look forward to going to the hospital, but for Teresa and Aaron Meister and their baby boy Dylan of Milbank, this trip back was a joyous one. It's just a friendly visit to show off how well Dylan is doing. Dylan was born December 20th 10 and a 1/2 weeks early. We first met them a month after Dylan had been in Avera McKennan's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. He stayed there for 70 days.
Teresa says, "The first time you walk in and see all the tubes and wires and machines and alarms going off it's really overwhelming. It's not like the picture you see on TV with the happy mom snuggling and cuddling their baby. I didn't even know if we were allowed to touch him. It was a really scary experience."
Babies born as premature as Dylan have underdeveloped lungs, intestines, are prone to heart conditions, they can't regulate their own body temperature and need a feeding tube because their suck/swallow reflex isn't developed.
Teresa says, "He does have chronic lung disease from being oxygen dependent, but they think that is something he'll outgrown by the time he is two."
Dylan has changed a lot since we met him. He weighed 2 pounds 13 ounces when he was born, a little less than a bottle of water. Now he weighs 8 pounds and is happy to be home.
Neonatologist Dr. Fernando Soares at Avera McKennan says, "That's what we strive for. Dylan was here for almost 3 months, he was born 3 months early. He stayed in our state-of-the-art incubator and went home virtually with no medical support other than vitamins. We are very glad to learn he is doing well."
Coming back is a welcomed reunion.
Teresa says, "It's very exciting. It was good to see them (NICU nurses) Aaron and I were talking about how hard their jobs are because they basically nurture and bring these babies to life and then say good bye. It's a hard job and there were a lot of tears when we left. It was nice to come back to all those familiar faces. They are like extended families to us."
So often my photojournalist Jeff Cleland and I also only see these babies when they are in such critical condition so it's exciting for us to share this happy ending too which is really only the beginning.
Dylan also has a heart murmur that they will continue to have monitored, but right now he is no worse for wear from everything he has gone through.

We love the Math/Maths podcast! It's a conversation about mathematics between the UK and USA from Pulse-Project.org. Peter Rowlett in Nottingham calls Samuel Hansen in Las Vegas to chat about the math and maths that has been in the news, that they've noticed and that has happened to them.
Listen to the Math/Maths podcast!

Plus investigating the mathematics of sound waves.
Plus is edited entirely by women who are happily disregarding gender stereotypes, so we're always happy to highlight women's achievements in maths. We've got lots of content by or about women mathematicians on Plus and here are some of our favourites. (And we'd like to ask all remaining dinosaurs to stop sending us emails starting "Dear Sirs"...)

Mathematics and silliness is the speciality of James Grime, mathematician, juggler and comedy nerd (though not necessarily in that order). From zombie maths to post-it note dodecahedra: it's all on his YouTube channel. Here's one of his puzzles for a taster:
December 6, 2012
Plus jetted across the Atlantic in February to attend the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Vancouver. Not only did we feast with (not on) jellyfish at the Vancouver Aquarium, we also found out how to lose weight, how to play Big Brother on the internet, and more...
Counting calories — Struggling with that new year's resolution to lose a few pounds? Weight not dropping off as fast as you'd expected? A new mathematical model has some good news and some bad news for you. Which would you like to hear first?
Rubber data — Data, data, data. 21st century life provides tons of it. It's paradise for researchers, or at least it would be if we knew how to make sense of it all. This year's AAAS annual meeting in Vancouver devoted plenty of time to the question of how to understand large amounts of data. And there's one method we particularly liked. It's based on the kind of idea that gave us the London tube map.
Counting deaths: war as a statistical problem — How many people died? It's one of the first questions asked in a war or violent conflict, but it's one of the hardest to answer. In the chaos of war many deaths go unrecorded and all sides have an interest in distorting the figures. The best we can do is come up with estimates, but the trouble is that different statistical methods for doing this can produce vastly different results . So how do we know how different methods compare?
The podcast: AAAS meeting day 1 — From flattening the Earth to dining with the jellyfish, Plus chats about the first day at the meeting.
The podcast: AAAS meeting day 2 — On the second day at the meeting we talked to Marcel Babin from the Université Laval. Babin uses satellite images to measure the amount of organisms, such as phytoplankton, in the Arctic ocean and studies how this changing biological diversity can both indicate, and impact on, climate change.
Probing the dark web: the podcast — Networks loomed large at the AAAS annual meeting in Vancouver, in particular the one you're looking at right now: the Internet. Plus went along to a session on web surveillance. It sounds sinister at first, but as we found out, it's not all about Big Brother breaching your privacy. Information on the web can help us catch terrorists and criminals and it can also identify a widespread practice called astroturfing.

We love Science in School, the European journal for science teachers, featuring news about the latest scientific discoveries, teaching materials and many other useful resources for science teachers. The journal is freely available online, with articles translated into many European languages. The print version (in English) is free within Europe. Here are some of our favourite recent articles.
The mystery of altruism — If evolution is a process of survival of the fittest, then why do we find altruistic acts wherever we look in nature? Here on Plus we recently took a mathematical look at this question — Science in School takes the biological angle.
Accelerating the pace of science: interview with CERN's Rolf Heuer — CERN is not just the world's largest particle physics laboratory. As its director general, Rolf Heuer, explains, "CERN is a role model, demonstrating that science can bridge cultures and nations. Science is a universal language and this is what we speak at CERN."
The new definition of crystals, or how to win a Nobel Prize — Why is symmetry so central to the understanding of crystals? And why did 'forbidden' symmetry change the definition of crystals themselves?
Weighing up the evidence: what is a kilo? — We all know what a kilogram is. Or do we? Researchers worldwide are working to define precisely what this familiar unit is.
December 4, 2012
Maths is now an integral part in the study of evolution, describing how mutation and natural selection affect a reproducing population. And now maths has shown that it if you want to get ahead in the evolutionary race, it really does pay to be nice. We were lucky enough to visit the other Cambridge earlier this year to interview Professor Martin Nowak about the mathematics of altruism.
Does it pay to be nice? – the maths of altruism part i — Does it pay to be nice? Yes, it does. And we're not just talking about that warm fuzzy feeling inside, it pays in evolutionary terms of genetic success too. We talk to Martin Nowak about how the mathematics of evolution prove that being nice is unavoidable.
Does it pay to be nice? – the maths of altruism part ii — It does pay to be nice if you repeatedly deal with the same person. Martin Nowak explains why cooperation also wins in matters of reputation, neighbourliness and family. But can evolutionary game theory save the world?
Does it pay to be clever? — Why are we so clever? In evolutionary terms this isn't obvious: evolution tends to favour cheap solutions and the human brain is expensive. It consumes about 20% of our body's energy budget yet it only makes up 2% of our body mass. So why did it make evolutionary sense for us humans to develop powerful brains? Game theory provides a possible answer.

Hip-Hop Themed King Kong Set for NYC SummerStage Festival
By Carey Purcell
A hip-hop musical adaptation of King Kong, written by Randy Weiner and Alfred Preisser, will play as part of the 2013 SummerStage festival. Directed by Preisser, King Kong will be presented in five public parks from July 30-Aug. 22.
Set in the late 1970s, SummerStage's King Kong celebrates the developing forms of hip-hop music and graffiti art that began in the South Bronx, in keeping with the festival's focus on the evolution of hip-hop over the last 40 years.
Described in press notes as a "music/dance/comedy spectacle that radically subverts everything you thought you knew about one of the most famous love stories of all time," King Kong follows two brothers who embark on a journey in search of a new sound and its greatest performer, who they were told resides in the far-away land of the South Bronx. There they meet a rapper named King Kong.
Weiner and Preisser are no strangers to innovative theatre; Weiner launched the late-night venue the Box, the "theatre of varieties" on Chrystie Street, and is a producer of the immersive theatre project Sleep No More. Mr. Preisser is the founding artistic director of the Classical Theatre of Harlem, as well as a director, writer and producer.

UTICA, N.Y. — Two Oneida County American Legion teams plan to appeal punishments resulting from a brawl during a July playoff game at Murnane Field.
Coaching representatives for New Hartford Post 1376 and Whitestown Post 1113 said their organizations will appeal some of the findings of the American Legion Department of New York Baseball as a result of the teams' July 26 melee during the District V championship game.
The state governing body has barred both teams from the 2014 district playoffs, placed their coaching personnel on probation for next season, and suspended five players, two from New Hartford Post — one for six games, one for three— and three from Whitestown Post — two indefinitely for "malicious unsportsmanlike conduct" and one for nine games.
The state organization also recommended the teams perform joint community service.
Whitestown Post manager Paul Engelhart, a former Herkimer County Community College assistant coach, said he will not contest the probation for the coaching staff. He does plan to file four separate appeals for the postseason ban and for Whitestown Post's suspended players.
"It's more in line with the player suspensions and team suspensions, and they will be filed separately," Engelhart said. "That's our plan as of right now."
New Hartford Post assistant coach John Randall said he was notified of the state's decisions Monday.
"We are in the process of an appeal, and it's in the early stages obviously," he said. "We'll see where it goes from here."
American Legion Department of New York Baseball Chairman Bruce Mayfield said the appeal process will begin at the district level and then be forwarded back to him. Mayfield handed down the punishments in October with input from the Department of New York Baseball Committee.
Mayfield will respond to the appeal and forward the information to the American Legion national headquarters in Indianapolis.
Mayfield said there is no timetable for any decisions on the appeals. He said he does not expect a resolution before the beginning of the year.
"I'm not going to change our decision," Mayfield said. "I write a response to the appeal, and I have to forward it to the national office. What they're going to do is they will take a look at what we presented and if there's a mistake or if we overstepped our bounds, then that's their prerogative and they'll notify me."
Mayfield, Engelhart and Randall Wednesday would not reveal the names of the players involved.
The Observer-Dispatch previously reported that witnesses to the altercation said it began with pushing and shoving at home plate between New Hartford Post batter Matt Desens and Whitestown Post catcher Collin Stewart.
The father of Desens — Peter Desens of New Hartford — is scheduled to appear in Utica City Court Dec. 12 on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and harassment.
Page 2 of 2 - Stewart was ejected, and the dugouts quickly emptied onto the field. City police then were called to the scene. Police at the time said Peter Desens grabbed a 14-year-old player who was engaged in a scuffle with another player.

By Lauren Keith - bio | email
CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - Jupiter Jack promises to turn your car's radio into a speaker phone for your cell. My tester, Bonnie Potts finds the adapter that fits her Blackberry. after all, Jupiter Jack promises to work on any phone.
Next, the instructions say to tune your car radio to 99.3 FM, but in the Heartland, that dial belongs to Real Rock 99.3. So, right away, we see this Jupiter Jack is not going to work here. Luckily though, the instructions say you can also try 101. 3 FM. In cape at least, there's silence on that FM dial, so in theory, this should work. I step out of the car and give Bonnie a call.
"Hey, Bonnie. Can you hear me? It's Lauren," I ask.
"There's a lot of static but I can hear you," she says.
However, there's a hollow sound and feedback. To be sure, Bonnie drives further away from where I'm standing.
"It's actually sounding a lil' better the further I am from you," says Bonnie.
However, the longer we talk, the more static, feedback, and delay we get. A little frustrating, and we want to know if this works better on a flip phone instead. So, we switch out adaptors.
We notice to get the Jupiter Jack's signal to work, we keep the phone in the flip position. Turns out...my phone call to Bonnie isn't ringing true to the product's claim.
"I can hear you but the volume is maxed out," she says.
So much for awesome speaker phone. This is not impressive, even after we kick up the phone's volume, too.
"I'm also kind of interested in traveling the interstate and see if I can pick up anyone else's conversations? or their radio station?" wonders Bonnie.
Wonder no more. We simulate it! Bonnie and I park side by side, like we're traveling along the road, windows rolled up. I hand a cell phone to my photographer, who's going to call Bonnie. Meantime, I'm sitting in the news car with my radio tuned to 101.3, supposedly, just rockin' out. I shouldn't hear Bonnie talking in the next car over, once she tunes in to the same radio station and talks hands-free with the Jupiter Jack to my photographer who's calling her.
But....that didn't happen. There's awful feeback! Between the squealing noises, I actually can hear Bonnie talking to my photographer on the phone. Remember, I'm supposed to be just cruising along listening to music!
"I would definitely not buy this!" says Bonnie.
To be completely sure, I had Bonnie try this when driving on her own in a different location. She traveled parts of southern Illinois and found it didn't work at all in Carbondale, where stations play music on both 99.3 and 101.3 FM. Further south in Mounds, she got a lot of static. So, she's ready to handling her own phone again.
"I'm sorry. I give it an 'F'. I would not buy it. I would not spend $5 on it," she says.
I paid $21. The message is clear. We gave this a thorough test spanning roads in the Heartland. Maybe it'll work better in other places, but I'm ready to say hit the road, Jupiter Jack. You fail the Does it Work test!

All but three cities in Orange County flunked in the eyes of the American Lung Association when it comes to tobacco-control policies, according to an annual report released by the organization today.
Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods and Santa Ana received overall C grades on the report card issued by the anti-tobacco organization. Laguna Hills and Laguna Woods received A grades for reducing second-hand smoke outdoors, and Santa Ana received an A grade for reducing the sales of tobacco products, but overall they were judged mediocre.
Thirty-one other cities,
including Los Alamitos, received overall grades of F. Seal Beach received a D.
"Despite making great strides in reducing smoking rates in America, there is still much work to be done here in Orange County,'' said Dr. Afif El-Hasan, a board member of the American Lung Association in California's governing board. "Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death and illness in the U.S. We must renew our commitment to stopping tobacco from robbing another generation of their health."
The association is pushing cities to pass more laws reducing smoking, said Amanda Knitter of the association. The Buena Park City Council may consider an ordinance to ban smoking in recreational areas such as parks, a law the association favors, Knitter said.
The report did not specifically grade cities on e-cigarettes, but the association wants municipal leaders to consider them in the same way as regular cigarettes.
"Unfortunately, very little is known about the health effects of e-cigarettes, but it is important to note it is a tobacco product and thus should be regulated like one," said Kimberly Amazeen, vice president of programs and advocacy for the association in California.
"It's kind of the Wild, Wild West of e-cigarette manufacturers taking a lesson out of Big Tobacco's playbook," Amazeen said, referring to the use of celebrities to endorse the product as well as offering "candy flavored" e-cigarettes to appeal to youths.

It was just off the center of the strip, so I didn't even have to use my car for 2 days. The price for 3 nights on a weekend was exactly what was in my budget, so I was able to spend more money on nice dinners & shopping. The rooms are nice & spacious
You shouldn't have to pay for wifi.
The keycard slider did not consistently work for our door.
The reservation desk clerks were very helpful. The pool was great, clean The coffee at the Beach snack shack was very good and the girls working there were very nice
No thaving free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, in our room and at the pool. The couch in our room was shabby
Everything was good thank you
The bed a little to hard for me
Good sized room. House keeping does an awesome job of cleaning. Staf were polite and friendly. The overall hotel was clean.
Would be nice if they had someone take you to your buikding. Elevate doors were no good. Felt like the elevator would stop. And then gym couldn't used mats for stretching and more equipment. I saw bugs in my room on two occasions
The staff is fine, the rooms are fine, pool area nice, casino area nice - especially the people working at the sports book.
For some reason, the prices have went way up, and in the room they now have installed two electric burners?????? There are no pots or pans, no microwave (which would be something most would want). It was something we found funny as we usually don't come to Las Vegas to cook our meals, especially without something to cook them in! Like putting in a microwave or refrigerator without a plug! They are GE cooktops, so maybe they were giving them away? Made no sense.
we have stayed at the tuscany before and will continue to do so. the grounds are nice and pools area is clean and not too crowded. rooms are very nice and clean, very big and everything works.great value for your money
there was nothing we didn't love about this place
Big room and very clean.
I was on the ground floor room i think us 102a Above of my room the floor is squeking it seems like an elephant live above me that's why i don't have much sleep it keep waking me up.
The grounds are beautiful, the pool fantastic, the casino staff is the friendliest we found in vegas, and the location of this property is AWESOME!! If youve ever tried to drive in and out of any casino on the strip you will really appreciate the ease and location of the Tuscany.
The only knock we had was that the "suite" is really just a way to describe a bigger room. Dont get me wrong, its great here but there is no microwave, stove or dishes like you may find in other suite hotels. But DONT let that discourage you in staying here, thats just a heads up for you
Proximité des points d'intérêt Calme
Room was spacious and clean. Bed was AWESOME. Great decor and ambience.
Walking to the Strip is about 2 blocks. If you don't mind that, book this hotel!
it was not located directly on the strip, quiet, rooms were located in different smaller buildings, room and bathroom looked very nice, spacious and clean
no complaints in this part
Clean Bed semi comfy kitchenette feels safe gym
Our suite was very clean and spacious. Also very quiet.
Very nice room, staff very helpful, and beautiful pool area. Marilyn's had great breakfasts. Nice comp program.
Machines were very tight though. It would have Been encouraging to win once and a while.
We had a huge room with a sofa chair and kitchenette! The location was very quiet. It is a three block walk to the strip on a busy street so I felt very safe. You get tired walking on the strip anyway so the three blocks was worth it for a quiet area. also the beds were extremely comfortable and I like having a table to set at to eat my carry in food.
The three block walk. I think there is a bus stop out front that we didn't bother to figure that out and the desk didn't offer any transportation tips.
Size of the room. I thought Marilyn's Café was great. Good portions, good food, good pricing!!!
Limited parking available. Very congested
I had a really great stay. Enjoyed the pool, the Casino, the restaurants, the staff...
Nothing to complain about!
Pools, gym
Need microwave.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TUSCANY SUITES!!! The rooms are HUGE...variety of gaming for all...the environment/atmosphere is relaxed, laid back, definitely has you feeling at home. I WOULD DEFINITELY SUGGEST TUSCANY TO OTHERS!!!
Excellent facilities and bed everyone was not as friendly as they should have been. Overall very complementary.
Big comfortable room with a nice big bed. Very clean. It was nice being off the strip and the price difference was amazing. Nice little casino. Very nice grounds. Close to Deuce bus stop. Free parking which was nice.
We were woken multiple times by the people upstairs. Each time they walked around it was like a herd of elephants and at one point they had an argument and you could hear their muffled voices.
Quiet location Space Beautiful grounds Helpful staff Lap pool
my daughter loved the pool and the room was very nice and big enough. For the week we stayed it was comfortable in size and the kitchen area was great.
the smoking room was a bit overwhelming with the smoke smell, I had a headache for a couple days. We don't smoke in the house so we aren't used to that smell. That was the only thing that was not pleasant about our stay.
I love stayn there cuz there's not traffic when heading out to a club n where it's located is just great of flamingo behing ballys walking distance

"We were very happy with our order!! The quality of the card was fantastic!! The website is easy to use, there are a lot of choices in each category, the layout choices are good."
"I chose Tiny Prints because of their user friendly website, a variety of layout choices, and excellent reputation. I was not disappointed in my choice. The cards arrived quickly and the paper quality is excellent."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"So completely happy with this card. Family & friends who received it loved the message on the back and I included 3 small pictures on the back. Quality of print and card stock was beautiful. I was very happy with this card....it was unique and just my style!!! Also, my cards were suppose to come in on the 27th of Dec., but I received them on the 24th. Very happy with the productivity!!!!"
"Overall I was happy with the card, but in retrospect I would not have wasted the extra money on getting the pearl shimmer paper - I am thinking the pearl shimmer may look better on designs that have predominantly white/lighter colors. But in terms of the design and overall quality, I am pleased!"

ChangeThe moon's recused itself. It hangs in the skyLike any other ceiling light to whichYour thinning blood has learned not to reply.Still, in the cool blue evening, slicing a peach,Pressing the knife down through the dripping sweetOrange-pink opulence, heady as the droneOf flies at midsummer, you almost meetYourself again, that humid year the telephoneWas always going to ring, and didn't. ThatTime when hope was its own realization,And any house you passed at dusk was lit for you.Now your own house spills light into the street.Your children come home here. You've become a nationWhich outlives you. Which is your old life made new.
I wish I could have thought of something more actually, obviously Lenten for the fortieth sonnet of this Lenten season, but after a Saturday of making Italian Easter bread with ten little girls at church, then coming home to plan my lesson on the Mass for First Communion class and oversee the bath queue, then going back to church for the blessing of a friend's marriage, then going to the Bi-Lo to buy dog food for the putatively stray dog hanging out with my kids on the church playground (because the other option, lobbied for in some quarters, was to put the dog in the car and take him home with us, to the certain dismay of the dog we already have, to whom all the couches belong), then remembering that we actually hadn't eaten any more than the putatively stray dog supposedly had in hours and hours and so going out to dinner unplannedly and getting home late . . .
Anyway, this sonnet is what turned up, like a putatively stray dog. And here we see the first and last and definitive lesson of the Great Lenten Sonnet Writing: you don't get to choose what putatively stray dog appears on your doorstep. Whatever turns up turns up, and either you don't feed it or you do.
This really is it for the sonnets for now. A blessed Holy Week and a joyful Eastertide to all.

In Maine, the arts are treated as a state treasure: carefully cultivated and allowed to flourish. The inspirational power of our natural surroundings encourages creativity and provides the perfect backdrop for enjoying the arts.
We're proud of our rich cultural heritage, built on hundreds of years of artists coming to Maine for its restorative powers.
And since the arts are interwoven with the fabric of everyday life here, you won't just observe it. You'll experience it.
Maine is an inspiring land of beauty and history, so it's no surprise that art and culture burst forth from the state. Perhaps you'll discover art in the galleries of Rockland, or inside the seven museums that comprise the Maine Art Museum Trail. Maybe you'll take in some of the world-class musicians of Maine, or enjoy a local theater production.
Artist colonies and visual-arts schools maintain a year-round buzz of creativity. Fairs and festivals celebrate the diversity of Maine's heritage, with influences ranging from Native American culture to Greek and Swedish, among others. Other festivals highlight Maine's food icons, like lobster and wild blueberries.
Live the arts and culture scene on your visit to Maine.

The bookstalls look very sleek and modern when opened although a more colourful awning should have been used. They look a little bland and lifeless. Perhaps an opinion poll would be in order....

Student achievement is up and the Moline School District is in good shape to move forward with its operational plan. That was the message from Superintendent Dave Moyer in his annual State of the Schools address Tuesday night.
He says big goals for the coming year include implementing Common Core curriculum and working to meet requirements for teacher evaluations.
But, getting to this point has not been easy. The process to get the operational plan approved back in May met a lot of public outcry, especially the proposal to close Ericsson and Garfield Elementary schools in a few years, when the new Hamilton school opens. (Click here to learn more about the Moline School District's operational plan.)
Now, Dr. Moyer says the district is seeing some positive trends, both in student achievement and in its finances.
The educational fund deficit has been reduced from $3.8 million last year to $1.3 million now.
"I think many of the most challenging things we had to deal with, we dealt with last year in that first year, and we did that by design so that we could be in a position to move forward and we wouldn't have a lot of those ongoing budget problems, ongoing facility problems, etc. to distract us from our central mission," Dr. Moyer said.
The district's plans for its facilities could receive a pretty big boost if voters approve a one percent local sales tax referendum in March.
The Moline School Board voted Tuesday night to approve a resolution to ask for that sales tax referendum be included on the upcoming March ballot in Rock Island County.
It is the same one cent sales tax already in place in all of Iowa, and many surrounding Illinois counties.
But, to get the sales tax issue on the ballot in March, the school districts representing at least 50% of the student population in Rock Island County have to pass a resolution agreeing to that, which is what Moline's school board did this week.
If approved by the voters, the money could only be used for school facilities.
Moline's share of the expected revenue is $3.2 million, and it would be used to help retire bonds faster, move through plans for future facilities upgrades sooner, and would allow them to have some property tax relief.
"That's something we think is an important part of the overall plan and, when 30% of the sales tax revenue comes from outside the county, we look at it as an overall community win-win and it is something we think at this point needs to be a priority," Dr. Moyer said.
During Tuesday's school board meeting, district leaders also received an update on the process to re-purpose the Ericsson Elementary school building when it is closed in a few years, as part of the district's operational plan.
As of Tuesday night, a community survey to gather public input on the future of the building is being finalized.
It should be available to the public beginning October 24th.

The Fisheries Chief claims there's no conclusive link between the blast and the rising number of dead catfish. But the Sport Fish Program Manager says it's possible the fish died later after being injured by the shock wave.

Start a new blog, of course.
He just announced it on Twitter. He's calling it a "personal" blog.
A couple minutes later, he tweeted "network effects will beat IP every time," which could be read as a challenge to his former employers -- they've got the TechCrunch brand, but he's got the network.
Will it compete with TechCrunch? Will he be breaking news? Will he talk about his personal investments? Will people read it?
Our bet would be yes to all four.
The real interesting part will be seeing whether any other TechCrunch writers decide to join him -- paid or unpaid.

Town Square
City should act to save Rose Market
Original post made on Jun 29, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Friday, May 31, 2013, 12:00 AM
on Jun 29, 2013 at 3:00 pm
This is an excellent argument for restraint on the part of the city council. I hope this issue doesn't slip in under the radar during the summer. It's a terrible proposal. The city can do better. It has so many development increases underway, like removing Harv's Car Wash and the Jiffy Lube and replacing with high density housing. This one is the absolute worst thing being proposed.
on Jul 12, 2013 at 6:57 pm
I will fight this proposal. Both Rose market and Peets contribute positively to the character of the city. There are much better places to build high-density housing, for example along El Camino where so many businesses are shutting down.
Come to Rose Market Monday night at 6:30 and we can fight this together!!
on Jul 13, 2013 at 6:00 pm
One of the reasons all these business are vacating El Camino at this point is that their rents are being raised astronomically. In this case, Rose Market has a long term lease which should provide them some protection. However, this development effort is an end run around honoring Rose Market's lease rate. I certainly agree, some sanity is needed in this city.
