The price was great, shuttle service was great to have, location to the airport was wonderful, and the breakfast at 4 am was surprisingly great!
The only thing that wasn't great was the rumpled carpeting and places to eat in walking distance.
Friendly and helpful
The keys to our room didn't work very well. Difficult to get into our room.
It was quite....
Everything old, smelled, dirty looking, thankful I took a sleep sack...did not get under covers on bed....covered rug with towels in dressing area....
Staff tried to get us hooked up
Coffee in rooms was not palatable. Wi-fi not working correctly,
The location, and it was very quiet.
The shower curtain was loose from the walls and kept coming open to the middle.
Staff no hassels
All good
The staff was very friendly and the rooms were great for the price. We didn't have a mini-fridge in our room but requested one and the staff brought it over, no problem. There was a beautifully manicured lawn and courtyard in the back with picnic tables.
The room was clean and fresh smelling. Everything worked.
The bathtub needed some major scrubbing....lots of mildew and crud on the bottom of the tub.
Very clean. Not far from freeway.
Building showing its age.
Close to food and cocktails. Great staff.
Could not get all of our devices on wifi
Me and My Boyfriend were staying, I am in my early stages of pregnancy and reserved my room the night before and asked for a ground floor with early check in and they had a room available for me when i arrived so that was nice. i appreciated that a lot. everything was nice and staff was cool
couldnt complain about anything. only there for a couple days and i didn't have any issues. so nothing to say bad.
Friendliness of staff. Not a bad value for the money.
The towels & bedding need to be updated. Towels on the first day were torn. Hope they are using them as rags.
location and wifi
the goat(pet in room) in the room below it was making such horrible noises all night....
location, green field and space around hotel, pool
old torn sheets, torn blanket, very old dirty chairs in room.
Clean bathroom with a child size toilet knees to the tub
Free upgrade to a bad house kept king suite. Filthy carpet, paper thin worn sheets definitely not fresh laundered. So bad dreamed of bugs all night. Old bedding & stained couch. Room looked fine till you used it and turned on light. Rude, condescending morning desk staff.
location and rate
It was late night or we would have left. Left the comment card as it had no mailing address. This room was filthy, first thing to catch eye was severely stained carpet and there was a four inch ring of dust, dirt, hair, and crumbs around the bed base where apparently the vacuum doesn't reach. Then their was the bathroom...seen nicer porta poopers. We slept in our clothes and left at dawn without a shower as we didn't have shower shoes.
The location met my needs as far as getting to my points of interest .
My stay at the Econo Lodge has got to be the worst hotel stay I have ever had... 1) the beds were so hard and unforgiving. 2) the fitted sheets did not fit the bed, as soon as you sat down all four corners pulled up! The bedding itself was so old and dated. You could actually see through the blanket. 3) house cleaning came to clean our room @ 9:30pm the following evening. Not cool at all. Will never stay their again, my car would have been a 5 star compared too Encono Lodge.
Shuttle & proximity to Airport
Lack of Good Restaurant around
Low price. Just need a night to sleep, shower, and get the basic wifi to check emails, this place is a good choice. If they update everything (like lcd tv) the price will go up so it is fine now.
Nothing really. It served my purpose.
Comfortable and clean. Price was good. Located right off the freeway and close to everything.
Wi-Fi could have been faster and stronger.
Not much
Accomodations were very old, dated and in dire need of repairs.
The location was and your facility.
I booked nonsmoking rooms,but got smoker's rooms (really bad) and had to keep them because it was all filled. I should have been discounted.
Noisy air conditioner. The pool cleanliness was terrible.
Enjoyed the low price and the location. Was very quick to get to airport parking and catch our flight. Room functioned as it should, AC, TV.
The bed. The pillows were some of the worst pillows i have ever encountered. They are honestly like jail pillows. Just a cloth with nothing in there. The mattress is ok at best and the blankets suck. Literally, the only bad thing is the bed.
Clean, low cost.
Was a bit difficult to find.

Free-agent center Manny Malhotra, who spent most of last season on injured reserve due to the effects of an eye injury, signed a 25-game professional tryout contract with the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League on Thursday.
Malhotra, one of the NHL's top defensive centers and faceoff men, was struck by a puck during a game on March 16, 2011, while playing for the Vancouver Canucks and suffered a serious injury to his left eye. He wasn't expected to play again that season, but returned to see action in six games in the Stanley Cup Final.
However, Malhotra had lost some vision in the eye and played a diminished role with the Canucks in 2011-12, scoring seven goals and finishing with 18 points in 78 games while playing mostly on the fourth line and killing penalties. After he went scoreless in his first nine games in 2012-13, the Canucks put Malhotra on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A federal magistrate will meet Friday with lawyers for a California hospital and a 13-year-old California girl declared brain dead after tonsil surgery.
A federal judge issued an order Thursday instructing representatives of Children's Hospital Oakland and the family of Jahi McMath to attend the mandatory settlement conference and try to avoid going to trial.
The hospital and Jahi's mother are locked in a harrowing clash over the girl's care. Children's maintains that Jahi is legally dead and that the ventilator keeping her heart pumping should be removed.

Foo Fighters Team Up With Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen Again
Foo Fighters and Rick Nielsen performed 'Something from Nothing' on the 'Late Show with David Letterman' last night (Oct. 17).
Foo Fighters and Rick Nielsen performed 'Something from Nothing' on the 'Late Show with David Letterman' last night (Oct. 17).
After bringing out Zac Brown, Heart and Tony Joe White to join them for the first three nights of their week-long 'Late Show with David Letterman' residency, the Foo Fighters gave themselves a tough act to follow on Thursday.
He's one of rock's most distinctive axemen, but even when he isn't slinging riffs and peeling off licks, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen is a bona fide guitar hero.
For nearly 40 years, Rick Nielsen has been the commander-in-chief of one of the greatest rock and roll bands in the world. Cheap Trick has been his vision, and as lead guitarist and primary songwriter, Nielsen helped shape the sound, style and attack of the band. More than ably helped by bassist Tom Petersson, drummer Bun E. Carlos and the one and only Robin Zander on vocals, Cheap Trick have been a musical force of few peers since first letting those power chords fly.
Sometimes it's a guitar lick, sometimes it's seeing someone on TV, but for Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen, his first musical memory came from his father and an accidental stage appearance.
Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen isn't ready to be relegated to relic status just yet. Still, fans will be happy to know that the man, his legendary band -- and yes, all those guitars -- are the subject of a special exhibit at the Burpee Museum Of Natural History, located in the band's hometown of Rockford, Ill.

Samsung Galaxy GT-I55500L (550) cannot get my ringtones or music off my sd card!!
Wednesday 26th of January 2011
I have got a pounding headache and have been at this for 2 days now. I've tried everything I can think of, and nothing works. My Samsung Galaxy 550 is running version 2.2. The music player on it only seems to acknowledge songs specifically downloaded off the phone ie. using money (even if they are free, the data costs money, and I only have so much per month). I have tried using Samsung Kies to no avail--all it does is send the music to my sd card, which neither my music player will acknowledge and I have an mp3 ringtone I made (again, with a program I bought called ringfactory, hoping I wouldn't be charged for every download of every ringtone, and wanting to be able to do it myself, quickly and easily, on my PC--ha, ha), also on my sd card as an mp3 file. I cannot in any way, shape or form get it onto the ring tones on my phone, the only one that will show up other than the ones that came with the stupid thing is, you guessed it, the only one that will show up on my mp3 player, the one song I have downloaded off my phone in an attempt to see if I put it in the same file as the downl

Buy a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Best Buy, get a $100 (or more!) gift card
If you're in the market for a new Samsung Galaxy S5, you might want to take a look at Best Buy. They're offering a $50 Best Buy email gift card with the online purchase of a new Samsung Galaxy S5 on contract from their online store. If you buy the phone online and off contract, Best Buy will just throw in the gift card with the purchase and ship it to you with the phone. There's probably some sort of agreement with the carriers and/or Samsung that they can't offer the gift card directly with the phone.If that's not good enough for you, you can take your old phone in to a Best Buy store to buy a Galaxy S5 in person and get a minimum of $100 for the trade-in. Best Buy can and will offer more depending on the phone, but at the bare minimum you can walk out of there with a $100 gift card in your pocketAlas, you can't apply any of those gift cards to the purchase of the Galaxy S5 itself, so you'll still be looking at $149.99-$199.99 depending on the carrier out the door for a Galaxy S5 on contract, and $649.99 off contract.That said, does this offer tempt anybody?Source: Best Buy

Film version of the DC comic book in which a chemical explosion transforms a research scientist into a monster.
Tunnel Vision movie trailer - starring Chevy Chase, John Candy, Howard Hesseman, Laraine Newman, Phil Proctor, Philip Proctor. Directed by Neal Israel. Genre: Comedy
Alice was sent to stay at Dr Holland's who was developing a process to make the swamps suitable for cultivation. His wife Linda had just found a substance, which helped plants to grow faster. The scientists joy soon vanished when Arcane bursts in, as his only ambition was to steal the scientist's invention. His associates killed Linda, whereas Holland fell into the swamp and Alice ran away. Then a strange and almighty green creature emerged from the swamp to give her assistance.
A spoof on the mad scientist films of the 1950s. Alice Cable is a government agent sent to replace a man who has disappeared while guarding a secret experimental lab in the middle of the Louisiana bayous. Cable is soon wooed by Dr. Alec Holland, who is working on a concoction that combines plant and animal cells. Arcane is the criminal mastermind who is trying to steal the secret recipe for the potion. When Arcane and his mercenaries break into the government camp, they kill Holland's sister Linda, and the scientist is accidentally doused with his own formula and bursts into flames, then dives into the swamp. Arcane's men pursue Cable, but she is rescued by a mysterious green man. It takes several rescues for her to understand that the Swamp Thing is Dr. Holland, transformed by his own formula.
A research scientist accidentally turns himself into a walking, talking hunk of slime, which is part plant, part swamp and part human. The human side still has feelings for his lady love and protects her from his arch-nemesis, and fellow scientist.

This is a five-activity module that explores the evidence for and impacts of melting glacial ice, with resources from major institutions and scientists who study glaciers -- primarily in Arctic areas. The suite of activities includes both glaciers and melting ice, as well as the impact of melt water downstream. Each activity follows the 5E model of Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation.
In this exercise learners use statistics (T-test using Excel) to analyze an authentic dataset from Lake Mendota in Madison, WI that spans the last 150 years to explore ice on/ice off dates. In addition, students are asked to investigate the IPCC Likelihoodscale and apply it to their statistical results.
A detailed Google Earth tour of glacier change over the last 50 years is given in class as an introduction. Students are then asked to select from a group of glaciers and create their own Google Earth tour exploring key characteristics and evident changes in that glacier.
In this activity, students learn about how climate change is affecting the Arctic ecosystem and then investigate how this change is impacting polar bear populations. Students analyze maps of Arctic sea ice, temperature graphs, and polar bear population data to answer questions about the impact of climate change on the Arctic ecosystem.
In this investigation learners research the effects of melting sea ice in the Bering Sea Ecosystem. They create research proposals to earn a place on the scientific research vessel Healy and present their findings and proposals to a Research Board committee.
This activity is a hands-on guided inquiry activity designed to highlight the role of an ice shelf on slowing the movement of continental ice sheets in Antarctica. Students build a model of Antarctica and both continental glaciers and ice shelves using paper models of the land and slime for glaciers and ice. Students use their model to explore the impact of recent and potential ice shelf melting and break-up.
In this activity, students use Google Earth and team up with fictional students in Chersky, Russia to investigate possible causes of thawing permafrost in Siberia and other Arctic regions. Students explore the nature of permafrost and what the effects of thawing permafrost mean both locally and globally. Next, students use a spreadsheet to explore soil temperature data from permafrost boreholes and surface air temperature datasets from in and around the Chersky region for a 50-year time span.
This activity students through the ways scientists monitor changes in Earth's glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets. Students investigate about glacier locations, glacial movement, and impacts of climate change on glaciers depending on the depth of research. It is linked to 2009 PBS Nova program entitled Extreme Ice.
This activity engages learners in examining data pertaining to the disappearing glaciers in Glacier National Park. After calculating percentage change of the number of glaciers from 1850 (150) to 1968 (50) and 2009 (26), students move on to the main glacier-monitoring content of the module--area vs. time data for the Grinnell Glacier, one of 26 glaciers that remain in the park.
In this activity, students use Google Earth and information from several websites to investigate some of the consequences of climate change in polar regions, including the shrinking of the ice cap at the North Pole, disintegration of ice shelves, melting of Greenland, opening of shipping routes, effects on polar bears, and possible secondary effects on climate in other regions due to changes in ocean currents. Students learn to use satellite and aerial imagery, maps, graphs, and statistics to interpret trends accompanying changes in the Earth system.

Topic Outline
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and acute pulmonary embolism (PE) are two manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE contributes to significant morbidity and mortality both in the community and in hospital. The mainstay of therapy for DVT is anticoagulation, provided there is no contraindication. Following initial anticoagulation, patients with DVT are anticoagulated further to prevent future recurrences, embolism, and thrombosis-related death.
An overview of the treatment of lower extremity DVT (distal and proximal), including indications for anticoagulation, alternate therapies, and treatment of special populations of patients with DVT, are discussed in this topic. Initial, long-term, and extended (indefinite) anticoagulation for DVT, as well as the treatment of PE, upper extremity DVT, and the diagnosis and prevention of DVT are discussed in detail, separately. (See "Lower extremity deep venous thrombosis: Initiation of anticoagulation (first 10 days)" and "Lower extremity deep venous thrombosis: Long-term anticoagulation (10 days to three months)" and "Rationale and indications for indefinite anticoagulation in patients with venous thromboembolism" and "Anticoagulation in acute pulmonary embolism" and "Treatment of acute pulmonary embolism" and "Diagnosis of suspected deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity" and "Prevention of venous thromboembolic disease in medical patients" and "Prevention of venous thromboembolic disease in surgical patients".)
For the purposes of discussion in this topic, the following terms apply:
●The term unprovoked deep venous thrombosis (DVT) implies that no identifiable cause or provoking event for DVT is evident. In contrast, a provoked DVT is one that is usually caused by a known event (eg, surgery, hospital admission). Provoking events and risk factors associated with the development of DVT can be transient (ie, reversible; eg, estrogen therapy) or persistent. Persistent risk factors include reversible conditions (eg, prolonged immobility following surgery, pregnancy, or curable malignancy) and irreversible conditions such as inheritable thrombophilias, chronic heart failure, and metastatic end-stage malignancy. (See "Overview of the causes of venous thrombosis".)
●Proximal DVT is one that is located in the popliteal, femoral, or iliac veins. Isolated distal DVT has no proximal component, is located below the knee, and is confined to the calf veins (peroneal, posterior, anterior tibial, and muscular veins) (table 1).

The reason was that the mayor, Police Chief Jane Castor, City Attorney Jim Shimberg, and other high-ranking members of the administration weren't present to discuss what to do with the surveillance cameras purchased with a federal grant for last month's Republican convention.
At the end of the lengthy discussion, Councilman Harry Cohen erupted in frustration, saying that even if members from the administration weren't available at 11 a.m., there was no good reason why they didn't show up by 1 p.m. (City Attorney Shimberg contacted Councilwoman Lisa Montelione to say he was in Clearwater on city business, not aware he was needed for the discussion.)
"Our input is not wanted, our input is not welcome," Cohen said.
Earlier, Councilman Mike Suarez called the lack of a top-ranking officials at the meeting, "unconscionable."
Perhaps their frustration was also due to the fact that they have limited say about what happens to the cameras. Buckhorn stated that he wants the cameras to remain, though he suggested he would be amenable to moving some of them to different parts of the city.
Less than 12 hours after the Republican National Convention ended at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, a bleary-eyed Mayor Bob Buckhorn hosted a news conference at City Hall where he praised the city police department, city staff, and volunteers for putting on what he called an "absolutely flawless" convention.
The fact that Chief Jane Castor's police department arrested only two people during the entire week was certainly something to celebrate.
But when 970 WFLA news radio reporter Sharon Parker asked Tampa Host Committee Chairman Ken Jones if he wanted to re-assess his frequently quoted statement that the convention was a "once in a lifetime event for Tampa," Jones refused to play along.
"I do think it's once in a lifetime," he replied, referring to the fact that it's been four decades since any political party has returned back to its host city for a second time. (Actually, he was slightly off as Democrats held their conventions in New York City in both 1976 and 1980.)
"We spent $25 million (on equipment) and made two arrests. I think that says it all," said Mary Mulhern on Wednesday afternoon.
Part of that low number was due to the de-escalation techniques employed by the TPD and the other law enforcement agencies under its control. But a bigger factor was the small number of activists who demonstrated. Though estimates of 15,000 protesters appeared inflated, nobody predicted that only 2,000 activists would attend.
I'm not sure what was my highlight of the last night of the RNC: crashing the Republican pool party and being the only one to jump in — full dress — or giving Newt Gingrich a sopping hug afterward.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
For the preceding week of the Republican National Convention, I'd covered the activity surrounding the Tampa Bay Times Forum, embedding myself in the radical and not-so-radical movement that was protesting, among other things, the lack of food in their makeshift camp off Florida Avenue. I reported on their many protests so much that they eventually kicked me out of a super-secret activist meeting. I apparently didn't know the secret handshake, and my knowledge of animal-friendly, organic, gluten-free, soy-based, non-fat, no-foam, sugar-free Venti political opinions is, admittedly, very limited.
So, on the last day of this media-saturated, money-drenched circus, I decided to go inside the belly of the beast and meet the Republicans I had heard so many bad things about. Did they really kill and eat babies born out of "legitimate rape?" Did their leader actually strap a dog to the roof of a station wagon on a family vacation? (The latter, as it turns out, is true.)
This past week while the GOP held its convention in Tampa, something truly amazing happened — well, didn't happen. The massive protests and violence that were predicted, based upon the angry mood of the country, Occupy demonstrations and encampments nationwide, and of course, past history of senseless violence seen at previous conventions, just didn't happen in here in Tampa. Folks are already scratching their heads and theories are likely to abound regarding underlying causations, statistical data, and every manner of analytical scrutiny.
Yes, Hurricane Isaac skirted the Florida coast and gave the city and RNC planners a big scare, prompting the cancellation of day one. Yes, we had thousands of officers from all over Florida, along with federal law enforcement, and even National Guard Troops, patrolling our city. Yes, we were prepared.
Workers inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum are continuing the process this week of breaking down the infrastructure set-ups created for the Republican National Convention, with the hopes of having the arena restored to its usual condition by the end of this week.
But before the memories of the RNC2012 escape completely from memory, CL wants to bring back to you our experiences on the floor of the convention from last Thursday night just a short time before Clint Eastwood's bizarre appearance — and oh, yeah, MItt Romney's speech to the nation as well.
Thursday night was designed to show off the personal side of the former Massachusetts governor — which even some of his strongest supporters admit they know little about.
The Republicans are united in beating Barack Obama this fall, which is why Romney is now gaining grass-roots support.
But he was hardly the first choice for many delegates.
Coming less than 48 hours after the GOP closed out its convention across the Bay in Tampa, fans expecting to hear plenty of bashing of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and company were not disappointed as the HBO comic eviscerated Republicans as essentially non-thinking white people afraid of changes happening in a multicultural America.
Referring to the "bullshit" that took place across the Courtney Campbell Causeway, Maher immediately seized in his opening moments on the bizarre Clint Eastwood performance at the RNC.
He said the scene was a metaphor for the entire Republican Party when it comes to judging Obama: "An old white guy arguing with an Obama that does not exist."
So it's not surprising that the 12-minute endorsement/performance art piece by the legendary Clint Eastwood on the climactic night of the Republican National Convention in Tampa is dividing the public as well.
One Tampa Democrat who you can put down as not a fan of what Eastwood did at the RNC is a man who kept his partisan hat out of the ring all week long, Mayor Bob Buckhorn.
When asked by CL Friday morning what he thought of the surreal performance, which consisted of the iconic actor/director talking to a chair that was supposed to represent President Obama, the mayor gave a thumbs-down verdict.
"It was bizarre," he replied, a verdict shared by many who saw the act, even those who said they liked it.
"I didn't find much humor. It was sad that presidential races are reduced to that kind of childish behavior, but it's politics. It's theater. He's an actor, so..."
Buckhorn also said during the press conference that though he will be attending the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte next week, he has no intention of speaking from the podium during the three-day event.
"I think Charlie Crist stole my spot," the mayor cracked, referring to the former Florida governor and former Republican who increasingly appears to be gearing up for a run for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2014.
They crowed about the shocking statistic regarding the number of arrests — two.
"The key was the approach that the officers took in working with the demonstrators when possible to achieve whatever it was they were looking to accomplish," Castor told reporters at a packed press conference at City Hall. "The information that we had prior to the convention indicated that there were going to be very large numbers of demonstrators here, both in planned events and in unplanned and spontaneous events."
But the large numbers of protesters, for whatever reason, never showed up — certainly not to the extent that was mentioned in past news articles (last week CL questioned why everyone in the mainstream media was automatically citing the number of 15,000 protesters without attribution).
When there's a seismic shift thousands of miles from any inhabited land mass, those in the doomed locale can prepare all they want, but they can't avoid the fact they're in the direct path of a violent tsunami.
That's probably how many members of the media felt two years ago when they heard the Republican National Convention was coming to Tampa — at least, those who knew they'd have to cover protests. There was that massive federal grant for security. Those rumors about tear gas. Very true stories about journalists getting hauled in at prior conventions solely for being there. Then there was Occupy. Oh, and Tampa's planned enforcement of "Event Zones."
Any journalist assigned to cover a protest during the RNC could have reasonably anticipated the likelihood of getting arrested or teargassed or being proximal to brute force and people who throw poo.
Yet, for whatever reason, by late Thursday night's rally and march against Mitt Romney in Downtown Tampa, a riot had yet to break out. Arrests were at an eerie minimum. There were a few close calls Thursday, though:
Someone had the idea of torching the puppet, even though it stood in the middle of an estimated crowd of hundreds. The idea never caught on, and the demonstrators set out on a march through Downtown Tampa — flanked by legions of police on foot, horses, and bicycle.

Armed with a little knowledge, I am going to the grocery store in a few. Until I can figure out what does and does not help/work for me, I am sticking to salad and veggies. I cannot eliminate fruits or veggies, regardless of what I was told by someone here. Three fourths of my diet consists of vegetables and fruits.
I guess being afraid of what I should put in my mouth, has helped me eliminate bad things if I knew what they were... I could live on salad, darned near,, I often eat them in a restaurant, rather than a main entr�e, that is how much I love veggies,, get me a salad and aside of steamed broccoli and I am in bliss!
I really want to rest today to prepare for a long day at work tomorrow..
Nothing much new here,, it is very cold out, but the 50mph winds have died down to around 25 mph.
Tomorrow I am going grocery shopping with different foods in mind. Unable to have most foods that I like that give me the proper nutrition, I will start slowly and choose a few things.. Now I am totally un-interested in cooking anything,,
I guess veggies and salads are not right for diabetics to get the right nutrition, so I will investigate alternative methods of getting nutritional needs met. I now wonder how vegetarians make it if hey are diabetic. Must live on beans and spinach.. we will see..
Wow! I think everybody within a 200 mile radius of us was in their car today and on the roads we were!! Bad economy?? Where? I just dropped DD off at a bookstore and later picked her up.. gazillions of people!!
We have decided to do our shopping after Christmas, a few days later.. Our big power outage and sleet/ice/snow storm was today..
I am glad I have two days off before I work all day Christmas Eve. 'Tis the season!!
Still feeling depressed and defeated ,, kept going to day, sent out all of my Christmas cards,, had a nice visit with my only close guy cousin.. NOT DIABETIC of course.. we are very close, and are only six months apart in age.
Since I was always over loaded with vegetables at every meal before, I am at a loss as to what is left to eat without making me sick or fatter. NO fruit, juice, bread, pasta, fats, or sweets. That leaves water and leaves.. which count as a veggie, so I am not certain..
one good thing about being depressed about all of this, I do not have any appetite when I am upset..
If I was on antidepressants, I would be screwed....
Personal vent,skip to avoid boredom:
I know this seems VERY trivial to those on my diabetes team, BUT it is very depressing, saddening and defeating to me that I got the news from my dear family doctor yesterday.
I just came home from the hospital, he called me in-between patients,, not a good sign,, he never does that unless it is bad news..
I was totally floored, even in my groggy state, when he told me my FBS that I had drawn with my labs last Saturday, was ,,147. I know this sounds whiny and ungrateful to those of you that are already on meds, insulin,etc, BUT I did everything I was told, above and beyond, even the nurses wanted to know what my secret of weight loss and a change of my A1C from 9.2 to 6.1
My A1C Saturday was 6.3,, went up from 6.1
this is not a whine or complain, it is an old fashioned word called "lament". I want to scream and cry, am starting to,, what did I miss, do wrong, cheat on??
Both grandparents, all aunts, mother, cousins,uncles, all had/have diabetes. Neither of my sisters, nor no cousins on dad's side have it.. just me. They all party hearty, did drugs, some are alcoholics, very bad nutrition, but no problems for them..
Doc told me he will start me on the lowest dosage of glucatrol.. see how it works,, I am disappointed and ashamed that I could not keep the numbers down, that I must have been lazy in my shopping and portioning habits.. Short of cutting out fruit, I do not know how to eliminate any more sugar from my diet,, so may have to go to the classes again.. I went years ago for training a the hospital.. I did listen then, but it seems that nothing I did was right in the past five years, so I will see if my doc has a magic thing to do now....
Blessedly, he did not say anything about that to me except to lose five pounds in the next three months.. I lost three last night after taking my lasix again.. I will double the ante and do ten.. hope I can catch a miracle with weight loss and maybe go off the med later.. praying..
I am also blessed to have this blog to vent..

Perfect Program for a Wedding Ceremony on a hot summer night
Vision of Love Wedding Program Fans The design team at MagnetStreet are awesome. They were very helpful and responded to my questions quickly. I did go back and forth with some revisions, and MagentStreet continued to add support. I believe they were doing everything in their power to make my vision come true. The end result was a beautiful program that is double sided and designed as a fan. The paper is of high quality. The colors are vibrant and the text is clear and crisp.
Perfectly Charming
Botanical Bliss Wedding Program Fans I love the fact that these programs are fans since I got married in June. They are so pretty and very easy to design. I like that they had a template already it helped me figure out what I wanted to do on our programs.
Perfect Program
Effortless Emblem Wedding Program Fans I was one of those brides that thought, no problem I can make my own program fans. Then I looked into it, went to the copy place, they told me I had to find special thicker paper; the craft store didn't have long enough wooden sticks, so I'd be going to online to order them. Of course don't forget about the time+patience+man hours to craft it = stressed out bride. With my wedding date 3 weeks away for my order date, I found Magnet Street. It was such a blessing, they had beautiful options, best prices and excellent turn around time. I got my fans yesterday (10 days) before my wedding and I couldn't be more happy about my decision to use Magnet Street.

Review: Tales from the Borderlands: Zer0 Sum
by Darren Nakamura
[Disclosure: Anthony Burch, who consulted on the story for Tales from the Borderlands, was previously employed at Destructoid. As always, no relationships, personal or professional, were factored into the review.]
When Tales from the Borderlands was announced, it was met with cautious optimism. Telltale's basic game structure that focuses on dialogue and choice seemed like a good way to explore the harsh planet of Pandora through the eyes of people who are not mass murderers. There are a lot of colorful characters on the planet, and not everybody has a backpack full of weapons and a thirst for blood.
As it turns out, there are exciting stories to tell for those who would sooner talk their way out of trouble than fight. Telltale really knocked it out of the park with this one.view full story + comments

Review: Sneaky Sneaky
by Darren Nakamura
Stealth is a tricky game mechanic to pull off well. If it is too slow it can be dull, but if it is too fast it is more action than stealth. If it is too predictable it becomes mundane, but if it is too random it requires more reaction than planning. If it is too strict it can be frustrating, but if it is too forgiving then it lacks tension.
Sneaky Sneaky is all of the above. At times, it hits all the right notes, providing smart, satisfying stealth puzzles. At others, it is an unfair slog through rooms built around ideas that add variety in theory but are not any fun in practice. In the end, Sneaky Sneaky has some redeeming qualities, but it is just as easily passed on.view full story + comments
