Labor Day Weekend Forecast
by BWW News Desk - Aug 28, 2014
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Aug. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) The last big weekend of the summer is rapidly approaching. Luckily, the marine forecast for much of the country is looking bright, but it's always best to know before you go. To help recreational boaters plan their Labor Day Weekend adventures, the marine forecasters at Buoyweather.com put together a short synopsis of what to expect on the water. As always, monitor your local waters via Buoyweather.com before you leave the dock. West Coast Offshore high pressure will interact with inland troughing/low pressure to set up moderate to fresh NW winds off much of the West Coast through the holiday weekend. Lighter and more variable winds are expected for some nearshore areas at times, especially inside the Southern California Bight during the mornings as well as portions of the Pacific Northwest. The current large S/SE swell from Hurricane Marie that is impacting portions of California will be on the decline. East Coast Hurricane Cristobal will move out to sea this weekend and its lingering swell will ease into the holiday weekend. A high pressure will gradually slide offshore through Saturday and Sunday setting up increasing S/SW winds and short-period seas for exposed waters. A cold front will approach New England on Labor Day — be sure to check updates on Buoyweather to see how this may impact local boating conditions. Gulf Coast A high pressure from the Atlantic will extend over the Gulf of Mexico, producing mainly moderate ESE/SE winds over the Gulf, though there will be some pockets of stronger winds/seas in places. It's always a good idea to keep an eye on the tropics this time of the year as well. Florida Offshore high pressure will take control of the weather pattern leading to mainly light S/SE to variable morning winds with increasing sea breezes in the afternoon. A bit stronger eastern winds are expected in South Florida though. In addition, the recent elevated seas the Sunshine State has experienced will come down a bit through the weekend. Caribbean Mainly moderate to fresh trade winds expected, but all eyes will be on a tropical wave moving through the region for potential development. The tropical wave will likely bring unsettled weather to portions of the Caribbean over the weekend. In addition, stronger trade winds and short-period seas are likely north of Colombia per normal. Hawaii Light to moderate trade winds (5 to 15 knots) are expected for much of the weekend. The trades will be lightest during the morning hours. We are looking for a decent sized swell from Hurricane Marie to reach east/northeast exposed shores on Friday before easing through the weekend. A modest long-period southern hemisphere swell will also produce occasional hazards near south-facing shores, especially near harbor entrances/inlets. Great Lakes A front will approach on Friday, setting up moderate to strong S winds for Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior while a bit lighter winds are forecasted for Lakes Erie and Ontario. A complex frontal system will set up highly variable and at times shifting winds for the region for Saturday and Sunday, before increasing S winds develop over the western lakes again on Labor Day. Overall, lots of changes expected for the Great Lakes with potential for showers/thunderstorms at times so please monitor the forecasts closely. For up-to-the-minute marine forecasts, visit buoyweather.com or download the free Buoyweather app via iTunes or Google Play. (more...)

Alice needed only 2 weeks on the job before she ended up in bed with Alex. Soon after, other employees at the health department in Buffalo noticed that the two were working a lot of late nights together.
Not surprisingly, the relationship between Alex, 48, and Alice, 26, became front-page news in the office. Then it made headlines in the Buffalo Courier.
It wasn't just because Alex was married that the paper ran a story titled "Very Scandalous."
He was also Alice's boss.
And the year was 1893.
Welcome to the workplace romance. What was shocking to people in the late 1800s seems almost a shoulder shrug today. In fact, nearly 40 percent of employees say they've dated in the office, according to a 2011 survey by CareerBuilder. And of these, almost one in five dated the boss.
How did we get here? The sexual revolution of the 1960s, combined with an almost quadrupling of women in the workforce in the second half of the 20th century, was pivotal. Large numbers of men and women suddenly found themselves in close working quarters just as they were experiencing the freedom to sleep around with little social consequence, says Julie Berebitsky, Ph.D., author of Sex and the Office: A History of Gender, Power, and Desire.
At the same time, people began marrying later in life; according to U.S. Census data, today more than 7 million Americans between the ages of 25 and 44 live alone, compared with just over 1 million in 1960. The result: Offices across the country are filled with young singles who, says Michael Rosenfeld, Ph.D., an associate professor of sociology at Stanford University, are experiencing a "second adolescence" of serial dating and sexual experimentation. Those same offices can also be a great environment for amour. Fill a fluorescent-lit, temperature-controlled stable of cubicles with men and women. Force them to interact for 8-plus hours a day. Give them a water-cooler to congregate around. Then, every so often, set them free—an office party, a business trip, some off-site training. Is it any wonder that they go at it in the supply closet?
"The social psychology of who we fall in love with, and why, makes total sense at work," says Amy Nicole Salvaggio, Ph.D., an assistant professor of industrial and organizational psychology at the University of New Haven. "That shared experience is a personal glue that holds people together." (Here are 6 Tips to Date Your Coworker—without ticking off your boss.)
But things can also get sticky. When Alex and Alice's affair became public, the higher-ups at the health department knew they had to do something. They suspended him and forced her to resign, which was the outcome anyone would have expected in 1893: Few women were in the white-collar workplace then, and even those who had landed office jobs were considered naive and, in the event things turned ugly in a romance, dispensable.
By the 1980s, employers had learned to be more evenhanded in their discipline. Fearful of potential sexual harassment lawsuits, companies sometimes fired both parties for dating each other. Today, however, employers are accepting office romance as an unavoidable product of the workplace, says Lisa Mainiero, Ph.D., a professor of management at Fairfield University and the author of Office Romance: Love, Power, and Sex in the Workplace. "Companies now look the other way unless performance is affected."
That's lucky for you, because when it comes down to it, there's probably no better place to identify and attract a mate than your job. For one thing, you have more mojo delivering a PowerPoint presentation at work than a pickup line at a bar. The office is where you look and sound your sharpest. It's where you show off your earning power, brainpower, and ambition—qualities universally valued by women, says David Buss, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of Texas at Austin. In his landmark study of 37 societies from sub-Saharan African villages to cities in the United States and Europe, Buss, an evolutionary psychologist, found that women around the world, irrespective of their environment and culture, valued power and success in their men. Playing with puppies and children in the park aside, you may never look as attractive to women as you do on the job. (Your dressed-up work attire surely doesn't hurt. Do you look your best? Make sure you have The Only 5 Suits You'll Ever Need in your closet.)
Meanwhile, she's never been more exposed. Short of shacking up, working with a woman gives you insights into her that you won't find anywhere else. You can learn all sorts of revealing tidbits. Maybe she calls her mom six times a day. Or perhaps her cube walls uncover a cute but possibly obsessive interest in piglets. And you'll almost certainly see how she handles stress, budgets her time, and resolves interpersonal conflict—all information you might otherwise acquire only with an apartment lease or an engagement ring. This opportunity to get to know someone before dating is one reason that more than 10 percent of couples today meet on the job, says Rosenfeld.
But don't dive into the office dating pool just yet. As much as things have changed from the time of Alice and Alex's implosion, workplace romance still has its own unwritten rules. Most men discover them by trial and error, public humiliation, or unemployment. Luckily, you have their mistakes to learn from. Take Grant, for example.

I am not convinced that Mugabe is going to negotiate in good faith. His previous history has proved otherwise, however times have changed and the economic crisis has forced his back against the wall. He will try his same old tricks but they will not work in this new era. Sooner or later the MDC will have their way with him. My concern is the continued damage he will cause before his inevitable departure. The economy can be rebuilt but lives can not be replaced.
In 28 years of Mugabe there is no evidence for even a cautious optimism that he will leave. It is a shame that Mbeki is still the Chief negotiator in these talks. Away from the AU and SADC, it is also interesting to note that major International players are not keen to see Mugabe out. Russia and China vetoed the first serious targeted sanctions aimed at the regime. This tells us that where there is money to be made, the International morality needed to rid Zimbabwe of Mugabe is still lacking. In terms of business, with inflation at 2.2m% (a concept that is foreign to most economists), Corporations like Anglo-American are still investing in the country (read investing in the Government).Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times recently suggested paying Mugabe off to get him to retire. The problem is with Russia, China and major Western Corporations willing to do business with him, he can make a lot more subjugating Zimbabwe.Eventually something will have to give and all we can hope is no more blood is shed till then.http://thealexandertechnique.blogspot.com
Mugabe is either stalling for time, or he'll try to buy his opponents off...sadly, all this is very unlikely to help the ordinary Zimbabweans.George Orwell: "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from man to pig again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
It is all very good that Zimbabwe is achieving peace once again. The Economist and other Western imperialists (USA, Britain, etc.) advocated more sanctions that will only lead to more suffering. Of course, the Western imperialists must not care about more suffering that will be caused by sanctions.Fortunately, the Western imperialists did not get their way, and millions of Zimbabweans will not suffer as much. I suppose this signifies an end to Western imperialism?Zimbabwe's economic crisis was caused mostly by Western sanctions:http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/4942/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/751072.stmFinally, the Economist and other Western imperialists talk as if Britain and the US are saviors of democracy. Of course, they are forgetting all the democracies that the US overthrew and replaced with dictators. The Western nations overthrow democracies and install dictators whenever economically beatifically.When economically beneficial (like in Zimbabwe) the Western imperialist will try to install a pro-Western "democracy."President Bush of the US and Gordon Brown of Britain did not win a majority vote. They won less percentage of the vote than Mugabe did.
Unfortunately for ordinary Zimbabweans, Zimbabwe is too insignificant economically/politically for the Western Imperialists to be doing what they should have done long ago- send in the troops and get rid of the corrupt and insufferable Mugabe regime.Why fight the Nazi's? It only led to more suffering of the German people. Damn the Western Imperialists. By the way, please trade with us because we hate you but we need your trade.Some serious nuts here.
Negotiation without any intention to concede to the views of opposition has no meaning. Dictators exist using their power by force and talk is merely a cleaver method to delay democratic process. This is the best way to remain in power all the time.
Leon HAHA, IF the Western imperialists wanted so save lives, then they would send troops in the Congo and Sudan and Somalia and Uganda. The humanitarian crisis in Uganda is "worse than Iraq", according to a senior UN official. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3256929.stmIf you think Mugabe is as bad as the Nazis, you have A LOT to learn. The conflict in Zimbabwe is NOTHING compared to the other conflicts that ravage Africa. Of course, the Western imperialist does not care for those conflicts, because they do not bring economic gain.
2-NutsLike I have said, sadly Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Uganda, and even Zimbabwe are too insignificant for these imperialists to actually intervene so lip-service is what they paid. But that doesn't mean these countries have serious problems that are largely man-made by themselves, it's just nobody really cares.Granted Zimbabwe's situation is not as bad as some other African countries, but it's still pretty bad, especially for ordinary Zimbabwean. Very few countries in the world today experience hyperinflation- Mugabe and his cronies are the ones to blame. Blaming the West will only buy you so much time and will absolute do nothing to improve the life of ordinary Zimbabwean. If Zimbabwe's well-being is hinged on trades with West as you suggested, then Mugabe should kiss West's behind, if that's what Zimbabwe needs. Otherwise stop whining- you can't be a anti-Imperialists hero and Imperialists beggar at the same time.
it is amazing that wealthy nations like russia and china (well...wealthy governments) are backing such a repressive, violent regime in hopes of securing more profit. in addition, it's very upsetting to know that history tells us, time and time again, that even the most ruthless of dictators will appeal to the process of democracy if it serves their purposes. although mugabe obviously didn't win the popular election, he certainly has no problem engaging in the about-face peace talks for the appearnce of diplomacy. thing is...the international community is largely not buying it. and i'm wondering what it will take before they (at the behest of the UN?) decide that they can no longer sit back and watch a fraudulent and violent leader attempt to subjugate his people and kill off his enemies. of course, the US has largely sat back for the 8 years of its own fraudulent leader and despite global outrage, the genocide in darfur continues. so i'm guessing things are going to go mugabe's way.
From all reports Mugabe has used complicity and intimidation in Zimbabwe to ensure all people are frightened of the process of change. Can we assume similar tactics on the international stage keep the status quo afloat?The security chiefs will be insulated but what about the foot soldiers who have beaten and killed ordinary citizens. Looking from outside it becomes an end game with the question being the order of magnitude of casualties to resolve the situation.

Wolf, meet Sheep. Sheep, this is Wolf.
I have come across this excuse of "imperialist sanctions" before on the internet. What they are never able to explain is that if their economy were able to sell their goods to say the Far East or India then they would. World food prices are sky high, if Zimbabwe ACTUALLY had the food to sell, it would and the so called sanctions would make no difference. The FACT is that the food is coming from the "imperialists" and Zimbabwe is not producing what it could in the past. So stop making these ridiculous excuses when the truth is much closer to home.

If you decide to re-hydrate your yeast, you may want to check the manufacturer's spec sheets to get the correct temperature at which to re-hydrate.

Thanks for this posting.
I agree and I find it disturbing to see articles, like the insulting one on Rumsfeld posted on Town Square, locked so that no comments can be posted. What does this communicate? It is one thing to screen out inappropriate comments, but quite another to stop all comments. If comments are not allowed then the story should not be on Town Square.

Quickly test RJ-45 and RJ-11 cables. Features LED's for each conductor for individual continuity testing.
Face it, for the value of this tester you can't go wrong. Worth checking to save time troubleshooting later.
Useful tool to show correct phone and network wiring- finds opens, shorts, and miswiring in runs. You will have to do a small fix on the on/off switch. The grease that is used on the switch has gummed up causing it to be frozen. Take the 4 screws off and, with a toothpick, put some vaseline on and in the switch. Flip back and forth several times and you're ready to go. After putting the screws back in, leave the screw under the switch slightly loose to keep it from binding on the case. I'm willing to do a quick fix for the low price. The 'S' position of the switch allows for a slow LED scan. (Not mentioned in instructions)

On "60 Minutes," CBS's Morley Safer looked at baseball in Cuba and FL-based agent Joe Cubas who helps players escape the country in order to play in the U.S. Safer: "Baseball in Cuba is much, much more than a game -- it's something approaching a national faith." Safer called Marlins P Livan Hernandez "the best-known product" of the Cuban amateur baseball system. Cubas, on why more players are defecting from Cuba to the U.S. today: "Many reasons, but primarily, because they have found someone who can take them to the promised land." Safer: "And that man is?" Cubas: "The last couple of years, it's been me." Safer followed the path of one of Cuba's clients, P Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, who left Cuba and auditioned for multiple MLB teams before signing a $6M-plus deal with the Yankees. Cubas' cut is 5% ("60 Minutes," CBS, 3/22). THE LATIN STRATEGY: Sunday's N.Y. TIMES featured the first of a two-part series -- concluded today -- by Murray Chass on MLB's foray into Latin America. On Sunday's front page, Chass wrote teams "are mining the fields of Latin America ... in a hunt for teen-age players that is driven by two facts: the talent in this country is dwindling, and the cost of signing American players is skyrocketing." Already there are twice as many Latin Americans playing in MLB as there were 20 years ago and they now represent 16% of all major leaguers (Murray Chass, N.Y. TIMES, 3/22).

First case of glufosinate resistance recorded
The first weed species to develop resistance to the non-selective herbicide glufosinate has been recorded by researchers in Malaysia.
Preliminary experiments have confirmed concerns that an aggressive grass weed is developing populations which are no longer controlled by glufosinate.
Weed scientists from the University of Malaya have been investigating reports of weed control problems in an oil palm nursery in the state of Pahang. The weed in question is goosegrass (Eleusine indica), a globally important weed of many warm climate crops.
In Malaysia it is a particularly serious problem in oil palm and rubber plantations, and on smallholdings growing fruit and vegetables.
Goosegrass has already developed resistance to several herbicide modes of action (MOA) in a number of countries around the world. It was the second weed species to be recorded as becoming resistant to glyphosate, also in Malaysia1. To keep weed resistance at bay, and avert the threat it poses to food production, it is vital to use integrated weed management practices. These involve using herbicides with different MOA. Like paraquat and glyphosate, glufosinate has a very distinctive MOA. However, as experience with glyphosate has shown, intensive use of a single MOA herbicide regime will ultimately result in weeds becoming resistant.
To confirm that a herbicide resistant strain has evolved, it must be conclusively demonstrated that the weed population cannot be controlled by the herbicide at the normal recommended application rate. The researchers conducted experiments with glufosinate on goosegrass plants in the affected field. Greenhouse studies were also conducted to compare the response of plants from the suspect population to ones collected from an urban area with no history of herbicide application. Using a range of dose rates enables the factor by which populations differ in their susceptibility to be calculated. Rates from normal to eight times greater were selected.
The results showed that a normal rate of glufosinate gave an acceptable level of goosegrass control over a four week period when a susceptible population was tested.
However, the suspected resistant population was much less affected. Not only was control after one week around half that normally expected, but the weeds rapidly grew away again so that there was little effect after four weeks.
A detailed analysis of the dose response work showed that the suspect population required more than seven times the normal dose of glufosinate to achieve just 50% control.
No new herbicide modes of action have been commercialised for over 20 years, so it is vital to keep those presently available to farmers controlling weeds effectively. Weed resistance to glufosinate as well as glyphosate deals a further blow to weed control options. Paraquat now has an even more important role to play in the rotational use of herbicides.

Lima Region, also known as Lima Provincias, is one of twenty-five regions of Peru. Located in the central coast of the country, its regional seat (capital city) is Huacho. Lima Province, which contains the city of Lima, the country's capital, is located on the western part of the Lima Region. However, this province is autonomous and not under the jurisdiction of the Regional Government.
The region has a coastal and an Andean zone, and has a great diversity of natural regions: the Costa or Chala (0 to 500 meters above sea level) up to the Janca or Cordillera (over 4800 meters). The predominating regions are the Yunga (500 to 2300 meters above sea level) and Quechua (2300 to 3500 meters).

Alligator found in California home guarding $100,000 marijuana stash
Category: Odd | Posted on Thu, January, 10th 2013 by THCFinder
CBS/AP) CASTRO VALLEY, Calif. - California police who entered a man's house Wednesday afternoon for a probation check said they found a $100,000 stash of marijuana guarded by a five-foot-long alligator.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Alameda County deputies entered the home of 32-year-old Assif Mayr where they found 34 pounds of marijuana and the five-foot alligator in a tank in the bedroom.
Sheriff's Sgt. J.D. Nelson said Mayr got the alligator, named "Mr. Teeth," in 1996 "to commemorate the death of rapper Tupac Shakur." Nelson added that the alligator was likely used as a deterrent against marijuana thieves.
Mayr was arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale. He is held in lieu of $160,000 bail.
The alligator was taken to the Oakland Zoo. Officials there described it as very sick and said it was being cared for at the zoo's veterinary hospital.

NetBSD on the Raspberry Pi
Last spring, I finally caved in and ordered a Raspberry Pi. In fact, I had a very precise reason to do so : it makes a nice and affordable little board to run NetBSD natively.
Before starting, I recommend using a Class 10 SDHC Card as it will make the whole process of using pkgsrc faster.
Creating the SD card
As the Rapberry Pi port is still not part of the stable release, we will have to run NetBSD-current. Pre-built images can be downloaded here.
Let's fetch an image, and create the bootable media :
wget http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201404231000Z/evbarm-earmhf/binary/gzimg/rpi.img.gz
gunzip rpi.img.gz
dd if=rpi.img of=/dev/da0 bs=4M
I used FreeBSD to create the SD card, so please set the output file accordingly when using other systems.
Switch the Raspberry Pi on and login as
root, there is no password by default.
We can run
uname -a to get more details about the build :
And here is
/etc/motd customized with my NetBSD ASCII logo :
Add a password :
Add a regular user in the
wheel group :
useradd -m -G wheel username
Growing the root file-system
As the NetBSD image written to the SD card has a fixed size, we will need to resize the file system to span the whole card.
The NetBSD Wiki has the required steps listed here : NetBSD/evbarm on Raspberry Pi.
Keeping time synchronized
As the Raspberry Pi does not include a hardware clock on board, we will need to use NTP to keep the time synchronized.
Setting time zone :
ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Warsaw /etc/localtime
After adding the
ntpdate directive in
rc.conf :
echo "ntpdate=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
We can start
ntpdate manually :
/etc/rc.d/ntpdate start
Using pkgsrc
To fetch and unpack the pkgsrc current branch, run :
ftp ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc.tar.gz
tar xfz pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr
We can now start building :
echo "ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+= vim-license" >> /etc/mk.conf
for package in chat/irssi editors/vim misc/screen misc/tmux net/nload net/mtr net/unbound net/wget shells/zsh sysutils/mc sysutils/pv www/curl www/links www/lynx www/nginx ; do
cd /usr/pkgsrc/$package
make install package clean clean-depends
Specifying the
package option when invoking make will create a binary package in
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/All. As compiling can take a long time on the Pi, this is especially handy when doing reinstalls or using multiple boards.
Here is the list of packages which have been created :
Final words
So far, running NetBSD on the Raspberry Pi has been a very positive experience and the system is very stable. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting to use BSD on the Pi to give NetBSD a try, it's well worth it.
I should probably also mention that it's smaller than a toaster :-)
Lastly, for some prebuilt images with X.Org included : ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jun/raspberry-pi/

cooking spray
Cream Cheese Filling:
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup
white sugar
1 tablespoon
Cake Batter:
2 cups
gluten-free flour blend
1 (15 ounce) can
pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups
white sugar
3/4 cup
1/2 cup
melted butter
1 tablespoon
baking powder
1 tablespoon
ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
This was delicious! I made a few changes -I added a tsp of vanilla to the cake batter (next time I will probably add some nutmeg and ginger too). I also added another tsp of vanilla + 1 egg to the filling. I greased a by dr pan with butter (instead of using loaf pans or cooking spray) . I still cooked it for 1 hour and let it cool in the pan for 30 minutes. It came out of the pan with ease. My husband says he doesn't like pumpkin, but he ate 2 big pieces of this cake for breakfast and claims it's his new favorite breakfast cake!
I love this! It is moist and not crumbly like most gluten free baked goods. I followed the recipe but added a tsp of vanilla to the batter and poured it into a single pumpkin shaped pan. I had some if the batter left over though. I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving, no one will be able to tell it is gluten free until they see me take a bite. I'm so excited to have this dessert!

Launch of £6.5m study to reduce agricultural river pollution
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Lancaster University is leading a large part of a £6.5m environmental scheme to reduce water pollution from agriculture.
The five-year project is being funded by Defra with support from the Environment Agency. The river Eden in Cumbria has been selected as one of three test river catchments in the UK along with the Wensum in Norfolk and the Hampshire Avon.
Central to the project is the University of Cumbria's Newton Rigg Farm which will be the base site for the research consortium led by Lancaster University.
The experimental farm will be used to develop ways of preventing farm waste and chemicals from polluting the river Eden and will act as a demonstration farm to engage with local farmers and landowners.
The involvement of farmers and landowners is an essential part of the study, which aims to bring together researchers, farmers, water companies and policy makers to develop a common approach to tackling water pollution.
Wetlands, ponds and sediment traps are just some of the solutions being tested by the team of experts from the universities of Lancaster, Cumbria, Durham, Newcastle and Aberystwyth as well as colleagues from the Eden Rivers Trust, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and the British Geological Survey.
Others ideas include an anaerobic digester for farm yard manure and food waste; algal ponds; willow coppices within buffer zones and rainwater harvesting.
The 40 organisations from around the country that are involved in the project gathered at Newton Rigg on September 16 before moving to the Lancaster Environment Centre at Lancaster University for a conference on September 17.

I had specifically chosen the hotel because of the possibility to enjoy a pre-paid meal at the highly rated restaurant. To my astonishment, I learned upon arrival that this offer was not available and I was sent to a neighbouring restaurant for a medium-quality meal in a noisy environment.
Proximity to the Railway Station. Close to the Old Town. Nice, large corner room. Nice breakfast.
Wi Fi was not free! Considerably more expensive than comparable hotels in other major Swiss cities.
Excellent location opposite the station. Lovely buffet breakfast in elegant restaurant. Comfortable room though bathroom a little cramped.
No free wifi. Most people use smart phones, tablets, laptops when travelling and reliable wifi is very important. The cost to the hotel is relatively little - if necessary add it to the room rate but don't expect guests to pay extra on arrival. In future I will not stay in hotels which don't provide FREE wifi unless there is no other choice.
Proximity to train station. Courtesy & helpfulness of staff. Availablity of tea facilities.
Wifi is not free
Close to train station, helpful staff
Not enough plugs in the hotel room to recharge electronics
Unexpectedly superb restaurant. Hotel/Rest staff I felt were exceptional for a mid-range hotel near a train/bus station. Also St. Gallen people are more amiable than other larger Swiss cities.
Proximity to train station both good and bad. But thick windows filtered out most sounds.
Restaurant is excellent!!
Due to the close proximity to the train and bus station it was very noisy.
Good location and clean
price is high
Location - right across the train station and 5 minutes walk rom the old town center
The flexibility of the staff, even we were late for few minutes on the breakfast time we were still can have a short breakfast.
The bathroom is too small.
First trip to Europe. Difficult to compare to us hotels. It was nice, clean and had big windows.
Smallish room, but nice. A little difficult to regulate room temperature. Steam heat or open window. Basically 2 twin beds shoved together with "no sleep" zone in the middle. Only had smallish wardrobe for clothes storage and it took up a chunk of the already small room.
Great staff, great breakfast

So what do normal people wear to parties? Normal meaning not you.
You wear an inflatable farm animal to TWO THEMED PARTIES and I never get to hear the end of it...
To tired for the bar. Came home and drank wine out of the bottle. Kind of don't want to know what that says about my life.
I guess I realized I had a problem when I ordered 4 shots and told the bar wench to pour them all into 1 glass
I wanna get freshman fucked up and do shady things on the last Friday of my youth.
I just threw up every bad decision and it hurts
NEW RULE: can't hook up with more than 50% of the groomsmen in wedding party or it becomes wrong kind of weird. NUMBERS GAME.
And you were like "stop making pop tarts, lil bowow" as you grabbed the pop tarts from your ex and consumed them. Teach me your ways.
I made a bet with her that she would show me her tits if I finished my beer. Only on spring break.
Dont worry about getting me anything... Just put a bow on your ass.
I already ran out of vodka but I have more beer. I just ran naked into the high school party down the street as took all theirs. ...figured no one wants to tackle the naked guy..
Are we doing anything tonight after class for Valentine's Day or just being lazy and having sex?
If you expect me to say anything other than 'lazy and sex' you're crazzzzy!
I feel like someone kicked me repeatedly in the ribs. I don't think sex is supposed to do that.
I walked into the kitchen and twelve of them were just staring at the oven. Freshmen are the weirdest drunks ever.
Oh dude, thanks for giving me that liquor last night, except replace 'giving' with 'violently forcing'.
