Rated 5 out of 5 by neeper good stay the room and staff were very good August 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by jbrm westin pasadena there were no toiletries in the room. no soap, shampoo, etc. the breakfast menu leaves a lot to be desired in terms of selection. hotel staff is very accommodating. the SPG reception in the evening was very nice but all of the suits stood around talking with each other rather than mingling with the guests. August 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ayala444 Very nice and a good value Very nice and we will be back ! Too bad you charge for internet access in the room. Not good. August 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lisa1960 Ok but disappointed I am a platinum member so when I reserved this hotel, I applied my upgrades and received the upgrade notification a day or two before I arrived at the hotel. When I checked in, the front desk confirmed the upgrade and send me to a very small room (but with Patio). Extra patio space is nice but it doesn't help since our teenage son is 6 feet tall. So I told her I should have a "suite" upgrade and need a bigger room. The next room she sent me has people already checked in and it was so uncomfortable to accidentally intrude. Finally we got a room that is a little larger but I won't call this a "suite" upgrade......disappointed and won't come back here myself. August 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by David890 Over Booked, Over Priced This is not my first stay at the Westin Pasadena. It was a busy weekend in town and the room rates went up accordingly. We paid $540.00 for a room with two dbl beds. My main complaint is that they didn't make my room up when requested. I even put a call in at 3:30 in the afternoon to remind them that somehow they forgot to clean my room.. A web site advertised the Westin as the best brunch in Pasadena. The food is good and fits within the Westin philosophy of offering several healthy choices on the menu. The service, however, was poor, slow and inattentive. Would I recommend this hotel? Yes, nice facility in a great location, great gym, most of the staff are friendly and helpful. August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by nbf37 Beautiful property, needs more attentive staff I was staying at the Westin for a conference. We had a number of problems getting the facilities and supplies we needed and had requested on time and with courteous response. The hotel did make it right by offering some additional food for our events, but it was a bit frustrating. The rooms and facilities were lovely and very comfortable. The wait staff in the bar/restaurant were slow and wouldn't accommodate separate checks for our breakfast one morning - this is a must for any hotel hosting a corporate event. However, sitting at the bar by the firepit in the evening was very nice. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by drmac Excellent Hotel! I had a wonderful stay at the Westin Pasadena. The facilities are beautiful, the room was very comfortable, the fitness room was the best I've ever seen in a hotel, and the staff was extremely accommodating. The only small hiccup involved procuring a microwave for my room, which I requested in advance. The staff member with whom I was in contact by email, Erwin, was generally unresponsive and I never received an apology from him when my request was not honored at check-in. However, other staff members stepped up, and I had a microwave in my room by 3:00pm the next day. The rest of the staff was TERRIFIC. (Sorry, Erwin....) Pasadena is a beautiful city, and if I ever have the opportunity to return, I will gladly stay at the Westin. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tallyho1 Must book! Excellent service and accomadations. August 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DiSull Hotel wasn't prepared for a large weekend We rented to room for a concert at the Rose Bowl. My understanding was that this hotel catered to Rose Bowl events. The shuttle didn't run late enough to pick us up after the event, so we had to walk back 1.5 miles in heels. After getting to the hotel, we were starved but room service had shut down because they ran out of food. August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Luvtrvl Consistently unable to upgrade platinum I stay in this hotel several times a year. Additionally, as a platinum member, I stay at many Starwood facilities. The Pasadena Westin consistently is rarely able to upgrade to a room better than their "deluxe king". They don't give you a decent view, decent windows or comfortable room accommodations. The reason I keep coming back is that it's so convenient for my purposes. I can safely say that the rooms that I have stayed in, too often, are not of the caliber of other Starwood sites. Rooms are tired and rather small no refrigerator or chair (other than computer) to sit in to read. Staff are friendly, however, and ALWAYS claim no "upgrades other than deluxe king" are available, with a warm smile. September 5, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by BusinessTraveller12 Mold on bathroom tiles I love Westin hotels and try to stay with your chain for business travel. However, I am compelled to write because the bathroom at this hotel was below par. The tiles in Room 333 had mold on the grout. This was at eye level plain site and not some hidden corner. In addition, the faucet dripped all night and did not turn off. It is disappointing to find these things when you are paying close to $200 a night. February 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by UncleRobert Quality Accommodation and great staff Comfortable room and excellent hotel facilities, in good Pasadena location. Staff were friendly and helpful at all times. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DaveInCT Solid, not spectacular I stay here 10-12 times a year on business, so most of the front desk, concierge and parking staff recognize me, and are always friendly, helpful and efficient. Concierge will drive you to restaurants in town, and pick you up when you call after dinner. This is a big bonus, although if it's a nice night, and you don't mind walking, it just a 15 minute walk to Old Town. I usually call down to the valet a few minutes before heading down from my room in the morning, and when I do, my car is always waiting for me when I get downstairs. There is nothing more annoying to me than calling down and still having to wait for my car, and that NEVER happens here. Tip those valets, people! *wood recognition is OK, I get my points amenity, and occasionally an actually upgraded room as opposed to just the free bottled water in a regular room. The last time I came with family, the front desk worked to get me an upgrade to a larger room so we'd have ample space, and I greatly appreciate that. Sure, it's nice to get upgraded to a suite, but when I'm travelling alone, it's not really important, a single room will do. But when I've got the kids with me, it's important, and they took care of me when I needed it. The major weakness in this hotel is back of house service. Room service is very slow. Housekeeping, too, when you call down for something, though they do a good job of cleaning while I'm gone (if I don't decline housekeeping for the 500 point "green" bonus). The restaurant is not worth mentioning. Standard boring never-changing Westin "superfoods" menu, there is really no reason to eat here with all the other dining choices in town. The lobby lounge/bar is usually relaxed and quiet, spacious and comfortable. Overpriced drinks, of course, but par for the course. Good place for a nightcap with an expense account. Rooms are beginning to show hints of age, and the hotel is probably going to start looking like it needs a refresh in a couple of years, but as of right now, they are perfectly acceptable. Outdoor pool is nice, but not huge. Same problem as with room service when ordering food by the pool -- it takes forever. Gym is just fine, machines are mostly very new. Pretty decent WiFi connectivity for a hotel. Ask for the platinum access code at the front desk. Overall, a solid choice in Pasadena, and I'll be returning (again and again). January 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by WM123 Great stay, wonderful staff We were staying at the Westin since my son was participating in the Veritas World Junior Golf Championships, and we had such a positive experience. The staff were very friendly, and customer service was fantastic. We were so comfortable staying there for our 8 nights. The food was great at the restaurant and service very good, and valet attendants excellent. We would not hesitate to stay at the Westin Pasadena again and we hope that they will continue to collaborate with GET Travel sports for the Veritas event. The families were treated very well by the Westin staff for this sporting event. Ryan, Chris, housekeeping, and all the valet attendants very wonderful and helpful. (The only thing was I was not sure why there was no food or beverage service at the pool, there did not seem to be when we were there, it would have been nice if there was). Other than that, fantastic stay. July 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by iTravel967 Good Nights' Rest Good location and friendly staff. Loved the room and the fitness center. We had to call twice for the roll-away bed, then twice again for a comforter and a pillow to go with the roll-away. Parking was inconvenient: long waits for the valet or $9 per exit if self-parked. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tommy90210 We Love Westin Hotels We had a great experience. I was there for three days for business and I was able to bring my wife of 31 years. We felt like we were on a mini vacation. My days started and ended early so we were able to enjoy the Pasadena experience with great restaurants and its culture. The concierge made great restaurant recommendations and we used the shuttle instead of driving our car at night. I want to thank Linda for taking care of our room too. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by laverneandshirley this hotel is perfect for a visit to Los Angeles It is a short ride from the Burbank Airport and easily accessible to wonderful restaurants and cultural activities in Pasadena and Burbank. The well maintained space in a quiet Pasadena setting makes it a perfect weekend escape! July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by lplusj do not recommend no free wi-fi access. inconvenient self parking. bed squeezed. found a pen and candy wrap on floor upon arrival. disappointed with the 4 star hotel. July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RC15 This hotel has great features My stay met my expectations. The staff was very helpful. July 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Csaavedra Things need improvement I love this place for the people and the care they give me BUT! In the past 2 years the cleanliness of the hotel has left me wanting to bring my own towels and sheets. On several I have gotten dirty towels and sheets. Questionable stains on the desk and chairs have made me feel less and less comfort. December 11, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by KARswiss 3Ps. Perfect Place in Pasadena This is my third visit to this Westin, and I have been delighted . I have spend much of my life in Starwood hotels, and this one ranks up there for a hotel in center city. I write this on an ipad outside in the hotel dining room terrace, using free wifi from the Westin. The warm clear weather is a free bonus . Very quiet. Delicious turkey burger, accompanied by a bowl of fresh fruit ( and quite a variety of fruits too) is perfect . This Westin has terrific views in very direction, and is walking distance to a dozen great cafes and some of the best cappuccino in the USA. January 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Manju Guest Services For this to be a 4 star classy hotel I was so disappointed with the lack of customer appreciation or guest services. I had a room for 2 nights. They made me check out on the first day and recheck back in the next day. It was horrible. When the staff checked me out, my room was bumped because they had overbooked rooms and they had to find me another room. I had to move! I was flabbergasted. You can only apologize so many times. When I checked in the woman said maybe 6 words to me. I couldn't believe I was done. So I asked her to tell me a little about the hotel, where's the pool, restaurant, how do I do valet here ect....Finally she tells me. We purchased a pation room, they are remodelig. The doors had caution tape all over them and they woulld not open. What was worse is at 8 am after a long drive, the workers were on the patio banging and working. It was incredible! Westin needs to take lessons in customer service or guest services. It is such a nice chain of hotels to have incompetent people working. Invest in the training. It will help. August 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Loves2Trvl Good Location Common areas and room were nicely furnished and clean. A plus to be able to call valet to have your car ready by the time you get downstairs. Location was in a good area near to Old Town Pasadena. The only drawbacks were that the air shuts off 20 min. after you leave the room so you come back to a warm room, and they also regulate the maximum volume on the TV. I was watching DVDs from my laptop connected to the TV and I could barely hear the sound w/max volume on both devices.. July 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by UnhappyGuest123 Terrible Front Desk Management We were startled awake at 7am because someone was drilling into the walls in the room next to us, consistent drilling for an hour until I got fed up and called the front desk. The front desk manager, Kyle, said he would investigate. He called back and said he personally went to our floor to see what the source of the drilling was and could not find anything. He also stated that as the front desk manager, neither he nor his staff know of any scheduled engineering for the entire hotel that day. I peeked out of the room and sure enough, there is a maintenance man with a cart of air filters outside of the room next to ours. When we left our room to check out, the maintenance man had moved to the room directly across from ours. Why would a front desk manager claim not to know of scheduled maintenance? Westin management has either lied to me or they do not know what is going on in their own hotel. I took pictures of the maintenance cart outside our rooms. Why would Westin schedule work that requires disruptive noises so early in the morning? Kyle then asked what I think should be done. Why do I need to tell him what he should do, is this not his job? Terrible management. This hotel does not care about its guests. August 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SKTM77 Great Experience I was pleasantly surprised by my experience with the hotel staff during my stay. Everyone that I came into contact with was genuinely friendly and exceptionally helpful. The hotel was very classy, the room was comfortable and relaxing, and the amenities were great. I would recommend the Westin Pasadena to any of my friends. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jik0123 Amazing staff! Even though there were some problems with my room first and a dirty sink in the second room I was switched too. The staff was amazing which made up for any initial hiccups. Hank at the front desk ran around the hotel looking for a package that was delivered to the hotel and then went missing and Kyle one of the managers on his first full day at the hotel did a great job of finding me a larger room that fit my needs. Overall I was a great experience at The Westin Pasadena and I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. June 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marsgal Convenient, Comfortable, and Quiet Within easy walking distance of lots of restaurants. Very quiet even though located on busy street. Self-park is available as well as valet, although spaces for non-compact vehicles very limited. Great workout room. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CLSF A great place to stay in Pasadena This was my first visit to the hotel and it was great. I was actually here to attend an wedding and I liked clean comfortable rooms. July 21, 2014

This was hilarious and so true xD
(via meettyrannosaur)
(Source: feellng, via smellsliketeenvodka)
One: Buy condoms. Buy them and keep them with you at all times, and use them before you are asked to use them. And use them every time. The peace of mind you allow your partner will free her to be vulnerable with you, and that, my son, is exactly what sex is about. Condoms are sexy. In fact, call buying condoms foreplay.
(Footnote: If you are too embarrassed to buy condoms, you are not ready to have sex.)
Two: Kissing is not merely foreplay. Spend entire evenings making out on the couch while fully clothed. Believe me, dry-humping rocks.
Three: Sex is not just about friction. It's about emotion. Stop trying to find her clitoris and find her heart. Because then she'll help you find her clitoris.
Four: If you really wanna know how to please a woman, ask her how she masturbates. Then do that. A lot. If she claims she doesn't masturbate, offer to take her shopping for a vibrator so you can both learn the vocabulary of her body together.
Five: Don't put anything in her butthole you wouldn't want in your own.
(Footnote: Try a pinky finger, it's kinda awesome.)
Six: When you go down on her—and you will go down on her, and if you are my son, you will be amazing at it—tell her how good she tastes. Stop in the middle and kiss her deeply so she knows how good she tastes. Do the same when she goes down on you.
Seven: A simple Google search will yield 1,327 euphemisms for male masturbation, yet only 23 for female masturbation. If guys spent less time jacking off and more time jilling off, this world would be a happier place.
Eight: Everything you need to know about the importance of the clitoris is in the movie Star Wars. You are Luke Skywalker piloting your penis-shaped X-Wing Fighter deep inside her trench. Remember: seventy percent of all Death Stars cannot be blown up through penetration of the trench alone. It must be through focused contact with that little exhaust port at the top of the trench. Otherwise, any explosions you experience will be merely Hollywood special effects.
Nine: Just because you come doesn't mean she has, so don't you dare come before her. Focus completely on your partner. Don't worry about gettin' yours, you're a guy. You always get yours. Your job is to make sure she's gettin' hers.
Ten: If sex with your partner lasts no longer than this poem, you are not making love. You are masturbating with her body instead of your hand. Shame on you. Go back to step one. You've got a lot of learning to do.
Love, Dad.
I love it how when Snape draws out his wand there are audible gasps but when Mcgonagall draws her wand there people are screaming out of the way.

today i wore a v-neck to school, something that is totally normal for 99% of the girls there, one of the girls in my french class was wearing one similar to mine in fact.
but my french teacher came up to me and told me that i was out of dress code and that i was asking for something to happen to me.
and all day long i had to slap guys who found it perfectly okay to grab them.
im a 32DDD, 5'1, and 115 pounds. due to this im known around the school as the walking boobs, the girl who grew in other places, and BITS. I constantly get called a whore and a tease.
Girls are always accusing their boyfriends of sleeping with me.
and there have been times when i have had to tell teachers that my eyes are up here.
i grew boobs in the eighth grade, i was a DD then, and i cant tell you how many fights i got into with guys who thought it was alright to stick their faces in them.
the point of all of this is that its bullshit.
i should be able to wear a v neck to school without worrying about who is going to grab my boobs next, or who is going to throw a gum wrapper in them, or what girls are going to say next.
Fuck that shit! I would report any teacher that needs to be reminded not to stare at your chest. That is not okay in any sense.
Also, I'd say screw slut-shaming, but this isn't even a matter of dressing how one wants, but a matter of a woman's natural state being the reason that men think it's okay to sexual harass or assault her.

Ask the cutie before you touch…anything, really.
Also to ladies that have to deal with this, here's a piece of advice my dad gave to me AND my two sisters:
"If some puts their hand on you, take it and keep it, they obviously wanted you to have it." (yes my dad straight up told my 12 year old sister to break a boy's hand off if he tried to touch her).

So, should we bring up all patches that have been released 5 months ago
or thereabouts? There's been a LOT of serious vulnerabilities released
since then - if you're 5 months behind in patching, then there's more
serious questions than this one patch.
We ALL need to keep up to date with patches. 5 month old patches are
ancient news and should have been taken care of no more than about 4
months ago at the most. If this list were to make mention of all old
patches after 5 months or so, the list would be flooded with nigh on
useless information taking the bandwidth as compared to new, relevant
patch and vulnerability. information.

Thanks to a generous BA for throwing this into a fine summertime trade. Wrestled open on an evening to watch my Twins & laugh at A.J. in ChiTown.
Pours cloudy orange & holy crap. There's more sediment in this bottle than I've ever seen in a beer, almost a solid inch of crud littering the bottom. Geez. Smells good, like those orange candies covered in fake sugar with some tropical fruit underneath it. Promisingly sweet.
On the other hand, Devotion tastes not so good. As it warms it goes from ungh to miserable. A bizarre mix of lighter fluid, mold, bad yeast, & stink bomb. Bad enough that I don't want to take another taste to identify anything further that it tastes like.
Wow. Never had a Lost Abbey that was less than good...until now. This is terrible. Looking at the other reviews I might have gotten a bad bottle. I hope so. Down the drain it goes.

Pours cloudy, dark yellow. Head is thick and frothy with thick sheets of lacing.
Aroma is candy sweet, and lemony. Generous yeasty spices.
Taste is initially sugary sweetness, then becomes dominated by a bitter orange peel flavor. Very lemony. Finish holds powdery yeasty funk that lingers on the tongue.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied.
Flavor is dominated by the odd orange peel and lemon bitterness. Yeasty funk really doesn't help. Not recommended.

Chilled bottle into glass.
A: Pours a cloudy gold color, with absolutely no head, carbonation, or lacing. Another victim of Lost Abbey's quality control issues.
S: A little bit of citrus hops, some candy sugar, and Belgian candy yeast producing sugary and fruity (apricot, peach) notes.
T: Some spice and candy in the initial taste, producing a sweet and biting backbone. Segues into an orange and grapefruit blend with some slight peach sweetness. The finish is mostly Belgian sugar and spice (cloves?) again. with a slight hint of grassiness.
M: Light to medium bodied, with ZERO carbonation.
D: Clearly this is a crap bottle, another in a series of bad ones from Lost Abbey. Fuck 'em. I have no desire to support their ongoing Fuck the Customer experiments. I will not buy LA beers again, especially at these elevated prices and downgraded quality standards. This is just appalling.

2.68/5 rDev -30.6%
A: Golden with some slight orange hues. Similar to a Duval
S: Very very faint. I really didnt get much from this at all.
T: Same as the smell. I did not get much out of this one.
M: Great mouthfeel as it felt like a true Belgium pale ale.
D: I would consider that to be average.
Maybe something was wrong with mine, as I had to use a corkscrew to remove the cork, and it looks like there were pieces of cork glued to the inside rim of the bottle. I did let mine warm up, but nothing really came through on this beer. I really love Lost Abbey, but I wont be getting this one again.

750mL corked bottle poured into a tulip glass. No bottled date.
(A)- Pours a hazy golden yellow color that produced a huge 2+finger fluffy white head with fantastic retention. It is sticking to the glass in webs as it dissipated.
(S)- Slight dry paleness with a sweet lemon, honey, and biscuity wheat characteristics. Bits of clay & yeast behind some minimal pine coming through on the finish.
(T)- Really dry and bitter pine that overpowers some (from what I can tell) biscuits and banana with a twist of clove; but it is hard to tell. Definitely more like an IPA than a pale ale. The more I drink it it becomes infinitely grassy with a mineral aftertaste.
(M)- Great carbonation level. Mouthfeel-wise is not very good. The more I had the more bitter it got, became grassy, and that upsetting minerality that gave it a weird metallic taste on the tongue. All of that only became more apparent the more I had of it.
(D)- This beer had alot of promise. It is still decent, but really offputting due to the metallic minerality and grassy nuance that really conflicts and overpowers what would make this an otherwise great beer.

poured from a bottle into a wine glass. i had to use a corkscrew to remove the cork and there was no pleasant "pop" when it came out. i thought this may have been bad, but carbonation was present.
A - hazy yellowish/hay with a thin head that faded into nothing but a white film on top.
S - not a whole lot there but the fruity belgian scent was there, slightly.
T - same as the smell, just not a lot going on. some fruitiness was present upfront but there was very little complexity. i was hoping for more out of this one.
M - standard for a belgian.
D - i could knock a bottle of this back only because it doesn't taste like anything.
this was my first Lost Abbey brew that I've poured from a bottle and to be honest, I was a little disappointed in this one. I'm sure these guys make something good, I just haven't found it yet.

On tap at brouwers.
A pours a clear orange topped with a large foamy head.
S lots of tart apple with some light herbal notes.
T a very strong bitter hop note with a bit of earth and some apple like fruit.
M light and well carbonated.
Overall not bad, just not spectacular.

Poured from a 750ml corked and caged bottle that Roberts shipped me (no dating info) into a snifter. The back label had the usual Lost Abbey story. It was a hazy golden yellow color with a touch of carbonation. It had a small fizzy white head that quickly evaporated into a thin collar.
The aroma was peppery and hoppy. Reminded me a of dry saison. The taste was somewhat disappointing. It was very dry, which I'm not a fan of, and more bitter and peppery than I expected. Had me wanting a drink of water to cleanse the palate after each drink - never a good sign. I've had other BPA's and this one just didn't seem to match those so maybe mine got affected during the shipping.
Overall, it was a decent beer but too dry and peppery to really enjoy. For me, it's one and done. Can't recommend.

Morena Review
Hearty Córdoban dishes like cazuela de conejo (rabbit stew) are great winter warmers, while the trout—best appreciated garnished with only a little herbed butter—is fished locally. If you're looking for something more elaborate, don't miss the ravioles Morena, squid-ink black pasta filled with pink prawn, leek, and ricotta mousse—as delicious as it is visually striking. The friendly young staff are happy to talk you through your options.

There's no need to wait until you're in a dentist's chair to open wide. Regularly inspecting your tongue in a mirror can help you detect issues in your mouth—and other parts of your body—before they become more serious. Stick it out and give yourself a quick health check.
The sign: Swollen grey/white balloon under your tongue.
What it means: You could have a clogged salivary gland. When this occurs, something is blocking the tiny ducts so they can't drain saliva, causing swelling, fluid build-up, and pain. One of the most common causes of a clogged duct is a salivary stone. "It's a calcium deposit similar to a kidney stone," says Mark Woff, D.D.S, chair of cariology and comprehensive care at New York University College of Dentistry. If it doesn't go away on its own within a few days, make an appointment with your dentist—the deposit may need to be surgically removed.
The sign: Sores with a halo around them.
What it means: A healthy tongue is pink and relatively smooth with no lumps or bumps. If you notice any red or whitish patches, a spot with a red ring around it, white areas with a lace-like pattern, or an unhealing sore, alert your doctor or dentist—it could signal cancer. While rates of other types of cancer are on the decline, the incidence of oral cancer has increased approximately 25 percent over the past decade, possibly due to the rise in human papilloma virus (HPV), a risk factor for the disease.
The sign: Thick red tongue.
What it means: Check your diet—you could have a vitamin deficiency. Your tongue is one of the first places a vitamin B12 deficiency appears. The vitamin is essential for creating healthy red blood cells, and subpar levels can lead to anemia. With that disease, your tongue may feel sore and is sometimes said to appear "beefy." If you eat a typical U.S. diet, you're probably getting enough vitamin B12 since it's mostly found in meat, poultry, milk, fish, and eggs. However, if you're a vegetarian or vegan or have a digestive disorder such as celiac disease or Crohn's disease, you may not be getting enough. Taking a multivitamin and eating fortified foods like cereal can help.
The sign: Black, hairy-looking tongue.
What it means: Did you recently take antibiotics? A course of the drugs can disrupt the normal bacteria in your yapper, causing an overgrowth that builds up on tiny round projections on your tongue called papillae. Instead of sloughing off like they normally do, the papillae can grow and give your tongue a hairy appearance. The good news: For the most part, it's harmless and should go away on its own. However, the bacteria can cause bad breath and affect your ability to taste. "Brush your tongue really well with a toothbrush and toothpaste each day and you'll help the normal flora return," Dr. Wolff says.
The sign: Swelling.
What it means: Of all the symptoms to watch for, this requires the most immediate attention, since you could be having an allergic reaction. "It isn't actually so much swelling of the tongue that occurs, but swelling of the airway behind the tongue that pushes the tongue forward, making it appear larger," Dr. Wolff says. Without quick treatment, swelling in your mouth can block your airway and become life-threatening, Dr. Wolff adds. Seek medical attention right away.
The sign: Dry, white glossy tongue.
What it means: Dry mouth, or xerostomia, occurs when the mouth doesn't produce enough saliva. This can cause uncomfortable dryness on the tongue and affect the balance of bacteria, which may cause a change in your tongue's color and appearance. When left untreated, dry mouth can increase your risk of gum disease and tooth decay—normally, saliva deposits minerals that help keep your teeth healthy—and it may also increase your risk of oral infections. Drinking plenty of water and using a humidifier if you live in a dry environment can help. If dry mouth is a chronic problem, medications you take for allergies, high blood pressure, asthma, and other conditions may be to blame. Talk to your doc about switching prescriptions. You can also treat dry mouth with over-the-counter mouth rinses, which work like an artificial saliva substitute.

Halfpenny prepared for another big kick against France
Leigh Halfpenny says he's "moved on" from the disappointment of missing a decisive penalty in Wales' World Cup semi-final defeat to France, and is ready to kick his side to Grand Slam glory against the same opponents on Saturday.
The 23-year-old Cardiff Blues man has enjoyed great success since become Wales' principal goal kicker for the Six Nations. His late penalty fell agonisingly short as Warren Gatland's men lost 9-8 to France in October.
– Wales full back Leigh Halfpenny
I would wonder if there was anything I could have done to get the ball over, I went through it every single day, but that has gone now. I have moved on from that. The practice I have done since that moment means going into this game I am pleased with where I am at. I just try to imagine I am on the field in Gorseinon with just me, the ball and the posts.


text: A pretty white house on East Gate Road outside of Barboursville, WV was the site of drug activity, according to police. What's worse, police say, is that an 88-year-old woman suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, lived among two apparent drug addicts who hosted a constant stream of visitors. Acting upon numerous complaints, West Virginia State Police went to the home on Friday evening to find the 88-year-old woman, along with her granddaughter, Holly Smith, her granddaughter's husband, Michael Smith, and another woman named Tina Ratliff. Police also found drugs. They arrested the couple and their visitor. 13 News visited the home on Saturday afternoon. "I was very shocked at what was found in this home.," says Peggy Peters, the daughter of the victim, and the mother of suspect, Holly Smith. Ms. Peters says her daughter, Holly Smith was good to her grandmother, and so was Michael, during the four years they lived with the victim. "She has been fed, and cleaned," says Ms. Peters. "She's been in no danger at all." "They never were mean to me," says the victim, who admits she is unsure of what exactly happened on Friday. "They always treated me pretty good." Along with crack-cocaine, police found drug paraphernalia. The couple is charged with drug possession and neglect of an incapacitated person, a misdemeanor offense. Police say the couple is facing this unique charge, not because of any direct abuse or neglect, but because of the setting, and the potential that the elderly homeowner could have been hurt. Police say the constant come-and-go of people that may have been buying or selling drugs put the victim in danger. Ms. Peters says she knew her daughter and her husband had a problem before. "I was under the impression it had been taken care of," says Peters. "Because my mother and I financially helped take care of this problem, we thought." All three suspects are facing possession charges for the crack-cocaine that was found. Michael and Holly Smith are also facing the neglect charge. All three were arraigned on a $10,000 cash-only bond, and are being held in the Western Regional Jail.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Hi: 23° Lo:11°
By Tim Clarke Thursday 31 January 2013 Updated: 01/02 08:56
A COLLECTION of hidden treasures held at a Worcestershire mansion house are set to go on public display for the first time.
Croome Court, near Pershore, will be unveiling various paintings, ceramics and personal items belonging to the Coventry family as part of a Midlands campaign by the National Trust encouraging visitors to Discover Something New.
The mansion does not usually have any objects or furnishings on display as the house waits to undergo major repairs and instead holds a small collection in store, away from public viewing.
Most of the furniture that used to be in the house was sold by 1948 and lies in private collections and museums around the world.
"We intend to bring part of the collection back to the house in 2016 after Croome Redefined's major repair work is complete, but until then we would like to show our visitors some of the best bits from the collection we do have" said Lucy Hadley, House and Visitor Services Manager.
"We've never brought these out for display before, so we're very excited about showing our visitors something very special. We will show something different every week and our House Officer, Lucy Hadley and her volunteer team, also hope to carry out conservation work on the items too, so visitors can really see what our collection is all about."
Items will be on show until Friday, May 3.
Croome will also be opening its eye-catcher follies, promoting a new tree identification booklet, creating a new bird hide for bird spotters, hosting guided tours on Saturdays and running two illuminated letter workshops.

Jimmie is now pursuing other talents as he studies media arts at the Art Institute in Houston, and hopes to one day open an art school of his own. "Art is a form of expressing one self," he says. "I think there is so much going on in families that art helps to reduce stress (and) communicate."

Is Providence Doing Enough to Improve Student Performance?
Friday, February 15, 2013
But during that same time, the city of Providence has made little to no statistical improvement in either category and just as many students in the district stand at risk of failing to meet the requirements today as they would have had there been similar requirements to earn a diploma during the 2008-2009 school year.
In all, 23 percent of Providence students in 11th grade tested last fall (2,727 students) are currently "substantially below proficient" in reading while 45 percent of students (5,329) fall in that category for mathematics.
Five years ago, those numbers were at 23 and 46 percent respectively.
And while test results are not the only measure of a school district's effectiveness, the lack of improvement in either category after five years of increased pressure and awareness of the importance of the exams raises a key question: Is Providence doing enough to improve student performance?
A Period of Upheaval
The so-called "educational crisis" in the Providence School System is nothing new.
In the past decade alone, the district has undergone four superintendent changes, fired all of its 1,900 teachers in a budgetary move by Mayor Angel Taveras, closed a number of schools, seen some of the lowest NECAP scores in the state, had one of Rhode Island's highest dropout rates and cited a wide achievement gap between Latinos and other students.
"It is a district in crisis," Providence City Councilman Luis Aponte said in a 2011 GoLocalProv story revealing that one in five schools in the district was failing. "There appears to be an instability in leadership and when you have unstable and transitional leadership you have a loss of vision."
For the last year and a half though, the district has been run by Superintendent Dr. Susan Lusi, who many experts agree has begun to point Providence in the right direction.
But with time running out before anywhere from 2,700-5,000 students in the district may on the verge of not meeting graduation requirements, it's only natural to wonder what must be done to accelerate the progress.
In August of 2011, 40 percent of the schools in the district were graded as failing. In July of 2012, it was 24 of 38.
Last year, Providence had the seven worst high schools in the state.
Those figures can not change overnight.
"I like Sue Lusi, I admire Sue Lusi," said education consultant Julia Steiny, a former Providence School Board member. "I admire her for trying to do the collaboration with the unions, for trying to reach out to charters to get some more activity there. I appreciate that she understands that if she can't get the discipline and the mental health issues to calm down that the learning will never happen. So I think one of Providence's strengths now is that Dr. Susan Lusi gets it. Now, having said that, what are her options?"
A Testing Problem
"They're trying to shove what's on the NECAP down our throats, instead of us doing real learning," said Marcus Dube, a junior at Hope High School. "And even then, there's a lot on the test that we haven't seen before."
"Testing should not be as important an evaluation as it currently is," said Aaron Regunberg, a staff coordinator of the Providence Student Union. "To succeed in the current economy, people need to be able to do creative, higher-order thinking. They need to be able to think critically and problem solve. They need to be able to work in groups. A standardized test can't test these things, which means students won't learn to do these things, and that is an urgent long-term catastrophe."
Even RIDE Commissioner Debra Gist acknowledges Providence has room to grow.
"The NECAP results that we released last week show that the Providence schools have made modest improvements over the past four years in both mathematics and reading, though we would like to see more dramatic improvements in student achievement in the coming years," she said
Pointing to a 14-point improvement at the Vartan Gregorian Elementary School as a positive example in the latest results, Gist has also lauded the district for an increase in AP program participation.
"Participants (students who took an AP exam) included 57 students at Central High School, 47 students at the Hope schools, 15 students at Mount Pleasant High, as well as 333 students at Classical High School, which has the largest number of AP test-takers in the state," she said. "These figures show me that the Providence schools are offering an array of challenging courses to high-school students across the whole district."
And that is the core debate. How much emphasis should be placed on the NECAP tests as a whole when the district might be making substantial gains that don't show up on a score sheet?
Why Providence is Different
"Test scores are just one indication of where students are," said Representative Edith Ajello. "They don't tell the whole story but they do certainly tell part of the story. How well they tell that part is determined by how good a job the test does of giving a picture of where students are and where they need more work."
Ajello says that she feels that both the tests themselves and the state's much-debated funding formula for education fail to factor in the unique attributes that make the Providence School District what it is and put the capital city at a disadvantage when compared to neighboring communities and municipalities.
Ajello points to the city's large population of students living in poverty and large percentage of students who are English-language learners as two of the challenges Providence faces.
Steven Brown of the ACLU agrees.
"By nature of its size, its diversity, and the level of poverty, Providence has a student population facing greater barriers than most other school districts," Brown said. "It is unfortunate to see time and resources wasted teaching to a test, rather than teaching what should be taught."
"One of the dangers facing education in general and education in large city system in particular, is that they cannot counter-act the effects of poverty," said Rick Richards, a former employee in the Testing Department at RIDE."That is, they do not provide educational opportunities of sufficient worth and power that their graduates can succeed economically."
Richards said Providence's biggest challenge is also its biggest strength.
"I have seen how resourceful and resilient the students, teachers, and administrators are in Providence," he said. "I wish people outside of Providence knew more about this reality and were more respectful of it. It is a huge strength and could be built upon."
Providence school teacher Carole Marshall agrees.
"It's biggest strengths are its students and teachers," she said. "Providence students for the most part are bright, resilient, and well-mannered young people who often have endured many hardships and taken on huge responsibilities by the time they reach high school. When they receive good teaching, they respond positively and they are appreciative. Standardized testing is not good teaching; in fact it's depriving Providence students of the education they could be getting."
More Than a Money Problem
"Providence's educational problems are due in part to the fact that the district is significantly underfunded and lacks the resources necessary to successfully support a student population that faces an array of challenges (from poverty to homelessness to violence) that require a great deal of resources to overcome," Regunberg said. "But in my opinion, it is also due to failures within schools, which need to do a better job of engaging stakeholders—students, parents, teachers, etc.—in the educational process. Until a school community takes ownership of and feels invested in a turnaround effort, you're not going to see substantial change."
Ajello says she would like to see more of an effort put in place to have teachers and teachers aides in schools work with small groups of students, or even individual students, to give them the individual attention they need to get to the next step."
Steiny believes getting all the agencies "to one table" and putting an emphasis not just on education but also social services and health services would lead to greater changes in the district.
It's not, she says, something you can just throw money at.
"There's school readiness, there's college readiness and there's work readiness," she said. "The part nobody's paying any attention to is readiness. Kids in Rhode Island have the highest rates of suicidal ideation, drug use, all kinds of social problems but basically nobody wants to pay attention to it."
The Here and Now
In the meantime, while Providence attempts to focus on its longterm future, there is the very near-term issue of NECAP test results and the pressure for students to succeed.
It's the type of crisis that could derail a district in transition.
"Providence is in the process of defining itself as an education system after a period in which it attempted to create a fairly top-down, monolithic system," said Richards. "NECAP scores are a good first filter--they can tell a teacher roughly where a given student is in relation to a grade expectation. But teachers need more information than the NECAP provides to understand how to teach a student. This is where diagnostic tests come in, as well as the information a teacher has from just teaching a student. The NECAP is good for an initial screen, but not for a diagnosis."
"I think it's fair to compare test scores and progress district to district," Ajello said. "I just think that when you look at test scores, it's important to consider the demographics. I don't think anybody would disagree with test scores aren't a complete measure of the success of an individual student's education or the success or need for improvement of a district as a whole."
Worth Fighting?
Some say the city should fight the state's should roll back the ties between NECAP scores and graduation.
"The most important thing that Providence could do at this point is demand that use of the NECAP test as a graduation requirement be eliminated," added Brown. "Too many school districts have been cowed into accepting the 'high stakes testing' mantra, to the detriment of students, teachers and the promotion of good educational principles. Providence should take a strong stand against NECAP, because seeking to play by RIDE's rules is doomed to failure, and will unnecessarily doom hundreds of qualified students to failure as well."
If RIDE's plan isn't altered, Providence will have to make a number of improvements very quickly or risk having thousands of students in this first test class meet the requirements for graduation.
"This could stifle the lives of thousands of students," Regunberg said. "The district is not going to have the capacity to adequately support the thousand youth who are at risk of graduating (not to mention to accept all the students who might have to do another year), and RIDE's doing nothing to help. There is a significant number of students whose lives will be truly harmed because of this policy."
Meanwhile, Gist and RIDE pledge to do what they can to help Providence stay on track to continue its improvement.
"We at the R.I. Department of Education will continue to provide resources and support to the Providence schools through such initiatives as our Induction Program for beginning and second-year teachers and our Academy for Transformative Leadership, which prepares principals to work in low-achieving schools," she said. "Working together, I am confident that we can make sure our Providence schools prepare all students for success in college and careers."

Ajello you and your liberal reps are the reason for the horrible education mess. You wanted Providence to be a sanctuary city. You got it. How do you like the end result?
Immigration laws were put in place for a reason! This is what happens when they are not enforced.

its simple - you have a student in 7th grade and cant read, write, and has no math skills--you cant make a quick fix and have them catchup in ayear. not possible.
there really have to be 2 tracks
1- one for kids that are halfway thru the system and know nothing and need to catchup
2- another program for the kids that are on track.
its a mess... and i dont see anyone looking for results in a year or two to be helping the situation

Comment #6 by Eloise O'Shea-Wyatt on 2013 02 15
1) We are unwilling to consider the possibility that the 11th grade NECAP math is simply too hard to be used as a graduation requirement. One can make this argument because the NECAP is also taken by New Hampshire and Vermont.
New Hampshire scores highly, just behind #1 Massachusetts, on virtually every comparison of state mathematics performance, at all tested grade levels, and among low-income students (such as they have). This year 38% of NH 11th graders were proficient in NECAP math, while 78% of MA 10th graders were proficient in the MCAS. That is, a long record of evidence shows that the NECAP math is roughly twice as difficult to pass as the vaunted MCAS, which Mass. uses as a graduation requirement.
see also: http://www.tuttlesvc.org/2011/01/unfortunately-our-low-collective-math_27.html
2) I don't know where you get the 23% number for students substantially below proficient in 11th grade reading. The numbers from https://reporting.measuredprogress.org/NECAPpublicRI/select.aspx indicate that number was 24% in 2007, 20% today, but perhaps most significantly. it was 18% and declining in 2009, when Tom Brady and Deborah Gist's administrations collaborated on derailing a comprehensive set of high school reforms put in place around the turn of the century at Hope High, Feinstein High School, E-Cubed and other schools. E-Cubed is the only program from that period that still exists, and it is the only neighborhood high school in the PPSD still scoring over 50% on NECAP reading.
Similarly, between '07 and '09, the percentage of 11th graders scoring "proficient" in NECAP reading in the PPSD increased from 44% to 60%, but has been flat at 58% since.
3) When discussing how Providence's schools are ranked "worst," people should be required to come up with a plausible scenario by which some other city has the "worst" schools in Rhode Island. Providence has so many schools that are so much poorer *even than the schools in other RI cities, it would require a spectacular collapse of Central Falls, Pawtucket, Woonsocket AND Newport to move PPSD schools out of the "worst" category. In the 2009-2010 school year, twenty five of the 30 schools in RI with the highest percentage of students eligible for free lunch were in the PPSD, and 38 of the top 50.
And when you consider high schools, Classical has a significant negative impact on the rest of the PPSD high schools, in comparison to high schools in other urban districts.
Comment #7 by Tom Hoffman on 2013 02 15
One small factor overlooked by the General Assembly was the formula for the teacher pension contributions, a cost tied directly to the teacher salaries. While Providence has to pay a little over 20% of their educational costs, they then have to pay 60% of the teacher pension cost. If that percentage were made to match the educational share ratio, Providence could devote $14 million of their current spending on recruiting more high quality leadership, specialists to help address issues associated with language and poverty, assistants to allow for more common planning among the teachers in the more troubled schools, and more staff to increase family social interaction with families.
If the General Assembly would simply do the job right, we wouldn't be in such a mess.
Comment #8 by John Ward on 2013 02 15
Your first point is dead on. This is a political shell game.
Comment #9 by tom brady on 2013 02 16
Other than that, things will never change. Just like everything else in RI.

While you may already know some of them (Buster Bluth for the win!), there are also some surprising roles you may not know about — like Bryan Cranston's Seinfeld past, or the fact that Connie Britton was on Spin City! Jason Bateman on Silver Spoons Arrested Development's Jason Bateman has been on the small screen for a long time, and one of his early roles was as Ricky's troublemaking friend Derek on Silver Spoons. Watch him as he deals with a dramatic situation on the '80s sitcom. 1 / 19 Jon Hamm on Gilmore Girls Mad Men star Jon Hamm cozied up to none other than Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) in Gilmore Girls in 2002. Lorelai never could resist a man with that kind of charm. 2 / 19 Connie Britton on Spin City You may be more familiar with Nashville star Connie Britton from her Friday Night Lights days, but did you know she also made Michael J. Fox's eyes pop on Spin City? Watch to see her in some sexy lingerie. 3 / 19 Don Cheadle on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air He's up for his second Emmy for House of Lies, but in 1990, Cheadle visited another famous TV house: Will Smith's. Get ready to dissolve into giggles when you see Cheadle playing Will''s friend Ice Tray (you read that right), '90s cap and all. 4 / 19 Robin Wright on Santa Barbara House of Cards nominee Robin Wright got her start on soap opera Santa Barbara as Kelly — watch as she fends off an overly amorous suitor. 6 / 19 Aaron Paul on Criminal Minds The best supporting actor nominee was playing young men with sketchy stories long before Breaking Bad. In 2005, he guest starred as a suspect with a penchant for guyliner on Criminal Minds. 6 / 19 Emilia Clarke in Doctors It's so odd to see the Mother of Dragons out of her costume — and with brown hair! Watch Clarke as she exercises her dramatic side in British series Doctors. 7 / 19 Peter Dinklage in Life as We Know It On Game of Thrones, Dinklage has plenty of wise words, and he had them for his role on short-lived drama Life as We Know It too; he played a high school guidance counselor. 8 / 19 Bryan Cranston on Seinfeld Best actor nominee Cranston plays meth-making Walter White on dark drama Breaking Bad, but the actor has a ton of TV credits under his belt that are much more lighthearted. Many folks remember him from Malcolm in the Middle, but the funniest Cranston role to me is that of dentist Tim Whatley on Seinfeld. 9 / 19 Alec Baldwin on Knots Landing Baldwin starred in plenty of movies before 30 Rock, but his acting career started on the small screen in nighttime soap Knots Landing in the early '80s. This clip is a doozy: watch as a young Baldwin threatens the life of his ladyfriend — but ends up the victim instead. 11 / 19 Tony Hale on Arrested Development Tony Hale is funny on Veep (and award-worthy), but we all know him best as Buster Bluth. Let's relive one of his finest hook-hand moments. 11 / 19 Mayim Bialik on Blossom I'm sure you never forgot that The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik was Blossom once upon a time — and to reward you, we bring you this clip of her dancing like a fiend in the sitcom's intro. 12 / 19 Jesse Tyler Ferguson on The Class The Modern Family star was adorable on this 2006 sitcom, as evidenced clearly by this cute clip where he scoots around a stripper pole. 13 / 19 Claire Danes on My So-Called Life I'm sure you already know that before Claire Danes starred on Homeland, she was Angela Chase on '90s sitcom My So-Called Life, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to feature a clip of the show. And I picked a good one — it's when Jordan Catalano finally holds Angela's hand at school. Sigh. 14 / 19 Elisabeth Moss on The West Wing Mad Men's Peggy Olson also played another young woman making waves around her early in her career. In White House drama The West Wing, she was Zoey Bartlet, the daughter of the president. 15 / 19 Jim Parsons on Ed Jim Parsons's stint as a park tour guide on 2000 comedy Ed has a double TV star bonus: Modern Family's Julie Bowen and Mad Men's John Slattery! 16 / 19 Damian Lewis on Band of Brothers Homeland's Damian Lewis has played a soldier more than once, like in 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers. Watch the clip to see other recognizable faces like David Schwimmer and Ron Livingston. 17 / 19 Amy Poehler on Arrested Development Don't think about the fact that Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are no longer together. Just think about the good, funny times, like when she guested on Arrested Development as his wife. 18 / 19 Matt Damon on Will & Grace Damon, up for lead actor in a miniseries, may best be known for movies, but he had a memorable guest spot on Will & Grace, where he has the chutzpah to face off against the one-and-only Jack. His comeback is so good. 19 / 19 6 0 4 5 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Emmy AwardsTV Emmy Awards The Deep, Dark, & Sometimes Hilarious TV Pasts of the Emmy Nominees 1 hour ago Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul's Hilarious Pawn Stars Spoof Is a Must Watch 8 hours ago Dress Up . . .

Despite the rain, hundreds showed up to a concert in Bloomington for a missing Indiana University student Thursday evening.
Lauren Spierer, now 20, disappeared in June after a night out partying with friends in Bloomington.
Hundreds of people walked to Dunn Meadow wearing blue in honor of Lauren. Then three bands kept the crowd's spirits up as the rain showered down.
IU men's basketball coach Tom Crean co-hosted the event and told students they needed to look after each other and treat one another like family. He also emphasized the need to help the Spierer's find closure.
"We gotta do everything we can do to help this family," he told the crowd. "They don't get to go home and hug her. They don't get to call her. They don't get to text her. They don't get to Facebook with her."
Lauren's parents also took the stage to thank everyone for coming and urged people to come forward with any information.
"We hope that as a result of tonight's concert, someone who knows something - because we believe somebody does - will come forward and help us," said Rob Spierer.

GreenPois0n says the jailbreak "is again one of the most easiest jailbreaks to use (so easy you grandma could do it)," and it really is. You'll want to backup your device first, then open Absinthe while your iOS gadget is still connected to your PC via USB and click 'Jailbreak'. After it's finished, just go back into iTunes and restore from your backup.

It's not that easy. I just JBed my 'new' iPad and did an iCloud restore that took hours. Then I found out that Cydia crashes when I try to start it, and apparently I'm not the only one with this problem. Other people have reported the same problem on various websites.
Worked fine for me on my iPhone 4S earlier today. Took just a few minutes, and then a few more to restore all my apps.
I was at first surprised that no one had commented on this, but then I realized that everyone was busy jailbreaking their iDevice. That was the first thing I did when I got home. I'm so excited to have finally been able to jailbreak my device, its Awesome!!
