Score from 131 reviews Very good
Good location and facilities. Continental breakfast is OK.
We asked for a shuttle service to pick us up at the airport and waited almost 1hr instead of the 30min they advised. The driver passed us by at the airport station and was upset when we complained abut that. The front desk lady didn´t like that we complained about the driver either. The next day the shuttle was late again and all the guest going to the airport that morning complained about it.
Price is great, room and facility perfectly adequate for a good rate. Airport shuttle good.
Location, very close to airport. 24 hour staff.
Wifi didn't work very well. Breakfast was quite disappointing.
The girl at the desk was very helpful
Everything else, no restaurant, terrible breakfast
Clean place near airport.
The restrooms are very tricky.
close to airport
aircraft flying overhead but thats life
Close to IAH and have a shuttle. Free and fast wifi in the rooms.
I had been here before and it was ok however this time I was dissapointed. The room they give to us had dirty towels in the floor and it wasn't clean. They changed the room and the new one was ok but the linen appeared to have been used before.
The hotel contact phone at the airport was such a time saver and welcome suprise! Shuttle was perfect.
Limited parking
Bed bugs
Ideal stopover for flights from IAH, good price and comfy bed.
No butter for toast or fruit juice at breakfast and the apathy of the staff to resolve the issue, which they failed to attempt to do!
great pickup van driver very friendly and courtous
Air port runway too close
The location The Price of the room The free shuttle
The construction going on The towels had spots on them The late checkout was not accommodating to my flight I saw a roach crawling on the wall There were rust stains on the shower door The toilet handle was loose and the toilet keep running I had to shake the handle to make it stop
Location was good
Smell of the room, bed uncomfortable, only 3 pillows which were way to small, sink and shower faucets leaked carpet dirty breakfast was limited
Poor everything
A bit noisy due to location near airport.
Convenience near airport
Wifi was extremely weak
Bus driver not very organized or helpful. Put us on 1 bus then had us unload and get on another. Neither time helping anyone to load or unload luggage. Or help any way one having trouble get on the bus. Just sit in his seat.
small room & bed, no refrigerator, microwave and no space to move around the room. very tight space.
Most of the parking is used for long term, leaving very little parking for guests.
Big room, clean and close to airport. correct search for the one night
The shuttle service is great ,best of all I am glad that i only had one night and it was close to airport .
my bathroom could not lock ,i decided to give Red roof a try on my way out but Best western for $10 more was far cleaner and better standard .I am disappointed in Booking and Red Roof .
I was picked at the airport after only 2 minutes of my hotel call. Hotel have good facilities. Pool Free Parking. Spacious rooms, very business oriented. Nice work desk and amazing chair. Quiet hotel. Friendly Staff. Small shopping center next to the hotel with a few options for lunch/meal. Safety sidewalk to walk the surroundings. Great value for money. Hotel is located less than 5 minutes from the airport.
Good hotel. Value for money. Near the airport.

Update: allergy testing
I'm very late getting this posted. I do apologize. A few weeks ago the Little Guy went to the allergist. We had a really good visit. He did get his first ever flu shot. They changed the recommendations last year or the year before but we'd never given him one. However, his numbers have been decreasing so we felt it would be safe to do so. He also had his labs checked.
We got his results back and all the labs look promising. They all decreased except his wheat which increased slightly. All of the rest had dropped by almost half in the last year, approximately 1/4 since last spring. We have a food challenge scheduled for baked egg. This time however I'm doing it a bit different. I am baking 1 egg in 24 muffins. During the food challenge he'll eat 1 muffin and hopefully he'll pass it this time. I'm hopeful.
First Day of Preschool
Yesterday was the first day of preschool. We all survived. Heck, I even survived without tears! I think the no-tears was mostly because my husband does the drop-off at daycare instead of me dropping him off somewhere completely new. Irregardless of the reason, I made it without tears! Kindergarten, will be whole a new ball game. My goal this week is to have him have no idea how anxious I am. Because I don't want my anxiety to result in his school anxiety.
A food allergy kid has a few more things to get ready prior to school than the average kid. Everyone has the school shopping list, but we had a few extra's to take care of.
The Food Allergy Kid's Back to School Check-list
School Supplies
Epi-Pen Bag
Action Plans Dr. signed and approved- In our case we have both food allergies and asthma
Food Plan discussed with teacher
Since his preschool is inside his daycare, most of these extra arrangements were easily discussed and arranged at pick-up or drop-off. It took about 15 minutes to discuss the plan for the epi-pen and realization that I needed a little baggie to put it in inside his backpack. We also discussed where to put his afternoon snack to make sure it made it to the preschool classroom. Overall, figuring out the logistics wasn't too hard.
But, figuring out how to be comfortable with someone new caring for my little guy. To know that even though there will be new kids to teach and direct, she could keep him safe. That really is the hard part for this mamma. It's the trusting a complete stranger with my child's life. That's hard.
On a positive note, I think this little guy was ready for preschool! He loved his first day and I'm sure he'll love it again today.
A Year of Growth
I knew this day would come. We're preparing for preschool for my allergic child. It's a scary thought. I'm trusting a complete stranger in the care of a child where literally, one mistake could kill him. I'm not being over dramatic. It's scary. It's real.
This last year I've seen my little one grow and develop. He's mastered counting, heck today he counted to 29. He's very chatty and talks using some amazing vocabulary. He now even dresses himself. Yes, this year I've seen many of the typical development of a now 4 year-old.
What isn't typical in his development? He asks if his food is safe for him to eat. And even more than that, he specifically asks about his specific allergies (milk, wheat, eggs, nuts). He knows if any of that is in his food, he doesn't eat it. If he ever wonders if he can eat it, he asks. It's pretty amazing that he knows his limits and has accepted them just as one would accept they shouldn't eat grass.
All of this helps me feel more comfortable sending him to preschool. He not only is ready academically but, he's as ready as he can be with regards to his unique situation. And really, that's a relief. The adults have to protect him, but it's nice to see he's taking an active role in being safe.
Trix is for Kids
I get really excited when I find a cereal or something that's "normal" that is safe for my kiddo. So often I feel like I've read every single label in the grocery. Every. Single. One. And then, something amazing will happen. I will find something that either wasn't safe for him before or I just didn't realize was safe for him. It's not uncommon for companies to change their recipes. It's great when it works in our favor and something new becomes safe. It really sucks when it goes the opposite way, something that once was safe and then becomes unsafe.
This weekend, I found this jackpot! Trix is not just for other kids, it's now for mine. I can't say if it's always been safe, but I can say that Monday morning my little guy ate his first bowel of Trix cereal.
I know cereal isn't the healthiest of foods. But, honestly, we eat so healthy in this house that I don't stress too much over my kids eating some cold cereal.
Have you found a food recently that was a pleasant surprise?
Pizza, Pizza (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
Do you remember the Little Cesar Pizza commercials….Pizza, pizza. I attached a link to YouTube in case you're not familiar with the "pizza, pizza". It really doesn't have much of anything to do with this post, except that it explains my title. Although, I'm quite certain that there's something wrong with me spending so long to explain such a simple thing such as my title. I'm certain there is some sort of rule on writing or list of things not to do when blogging which addresses this. IF there's not there should be. And I've now completely digressed from my topic.
Pizza (pizza, pizza) is a household favorite in many homes. It is a favorite of many kids. As an adult, it is one of my favorite foods. I honestly could eat pizza several nights a week without complaining. One of the best things about pizza is it's diversity. You can put almost anything on a pizza. Pizza toppings can vary from the traditional pepperoni to the less common of hotdogs or potato and onions.
I will admit, pizza (pizza, pizza) was something I was certain my little guy would not be able to enjoy. Afterall, the main ingredients to any pizza is wheat, cheese and egg. He was allergic to all three of those. Since then I've experimented with different options. I used Energ-G English Muffins, tomato past with Italian seasoning, pepperoni, and Daiya cheese. And this works well and it's easy to send to daycare because they can microwave it to melt the cheese. But it's not perfect and if you've had a regular pizza, there's something lacking.
I've tried a couple of times to make homemade pizza crusts. But have failed. Well, that was until most recently. I finally found a gluten-free pizza crust that tastes good and works without eggs. I can't really take credit for it as I took it off the Bisquick gluten-free flour box.
Vegan, Gluten-free Pizza Crust
1 1/3 cups Bisquick Gluten free mix
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning or dried basil
1/2 cup Water
1/3 cup Oil
Egg Replacer for 2 Eggs
Heat oven to 425. Stir together ingredients until well combined. Spread onto the pan. I made individual pizzas so I divided the crust into four parts. Bake 15 mins. Then apply pizza toppings.
Our pizzas were like thin crust pizzas. Typically I'm not a huge fan of thin crust, but it really was pretty good. My kids both loved the pizza. This is a crust I will make again.
As for the flour itself, I've also tried the pancake recipe and we liked that. I plan to try the Strawberry shortcake and the biscuits. When I do I'll let you know how they turn out.
The good and the bad
Yesterday was my Little Guy's food challenge for milk. It had been a crazy week leading up to the challenge with dance recital prep and softball practice starting. That was kind-of a blessing because I didn't have much time to think about or worry about his challenge. I usually get so pre-occupied with it as it approaches. This food challenge was potentially especially nerve-racking due he's been anaphylactic to milk in the past.
The night before the challenge I made 11 muffins with 1/2 cup of whole milk for the appointment. We got up quickly and rushed out the door, two muffins in hand. He was excited to eat the muffin and couldn't wait to get to the allergist. He does love his food. The appointment start as all doctor's appointments started with a weight and a review of his medications.
Then I was given the consent. The simple white piece of paper makes everything seem real. The risks are laid out there for me to see. It reminds me that this could be very dangerous. I'm reminded at the importance of my choices for him. This simple piece of paper reminds me that I am 100% making a risky choice for my darling boy. I nervously signed that line feeling relief that we are trying this new food in the security of the doctor's office.
The actual challenge started off really slow. A small crumb on his lip, then a small crumb of a bite, a slightly larger bite, and so on. Each step was 15 mins after the one before it. With each step down, I relaxed a bit. I thought, maybe we'll be ok. Maybe we'll start eating dairy again. No reaction was noted all the way up to the last big bite. However, right before, we noticed a small red/puffy area on his upper lip. The doctor came in and looked over. His belly, back, and extremities looked good. So, she said lets wipe his face off and give him the last big bite. If he manages to have no further reaction after 60 minutes, we'd be cleared.
We were amazed that even by the time the 6o minutes passed his spot had essentially disappeared. And that was without treatment! We all celebrated a victory and we received our instructions. One muffin once a day for a week and if he does well we'd increase the baked milk from 1/2 a cup. We left with me on cloud 9. I was so excited I announced on Facebook that we passed the food challenge.
Well, the posting on Facebook should've been my warning. I shouldn't have done it. My husband got home about an hour later and he and the Little Guy ate lunch. And sure enough, about the time he was going to daycare- 2 hours after we left the doctor's office, he'd developed a red rash and became very hot. He had some hives on his abdomen and under his armpits.
After a couple of conversations with the on-call doctor (the allergist office closes at noon on Wednesday), we had a treatment plan in place and a decision to make. Do we risk feeding him a 1/4 of a muffin for a week with the hope of increasing his tolerance to the milk or hold-off until after a retest of his labs. Each one had benefits and negatives. The safest choice would be to hold off until his numbers drop lower.
Well, the decision was a hard one. I really felt like the fact he didn't react right away and wasn't anaphylactic he had a pretty good chance of eating the quarter of a muffin. And if he could eat it, then maybe building up a tolerance was possible. We'd only be giving him a 1/4 of a muffin or a 1/4 o of an 11th of a 1/2 of a cup of milk (did I lose you there?), he'd have such a small amount of the milk, that he'd be ok.
So, the question really became, did the risk outweigh the benefit? We decided that the risk was relatively low and his benefit was high. So, I called daycare and arranged to have him closely monitored. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful daycare teacher. She truly loves my Little Guy. I called several times today to check on him and he did fine. Tomorrow is day 2. We will try again and we are praying that this week goes by without incident. And we will see what next week brings.
The Results Are In!
I keep track of this running labs for myself mostly. I know several people who read this like to see how his numbers are doing, so I put them here. Also by posting it here, it helps me to see how they've come along.
Allergen Original Test 2 Test 3 Test 4 Test 5 Test 6 Class (1-6)
Cat 10.9 22.4 70.7 67.4 17.9 45.2 4
Crab —— 43 60 <0.35 Neg
Dog 17.4 44.6 55.9 52.1 24.1 20.1 4
Egg >100 20.3 34.8 24.0 13.9 10.9 3
Milk 41.2 70.8 82.1 48.4 17.8 9.87 3
Peanut 76.1 36.6 39.3 23.4 12.7 10.1 3
Soy 14.2 7.32 6.94 3.56 NA NA
Wheat 33.9 49.1 48.7 24.9 8.83 9.20 3
Mango ——- 0. 67 0.91 0.35 Neg
Nut Allergy Results
Allergen Original Test 2 Class 0-6
Almond 1.16 0.78 2
Brazil Nut 0.51 <0.35 0
Cashew <0.35 0
Hazelnut 1.15 0.67 1
Pecan <0.35 <0.35 0
Pine Nuts <0.35 <0.35 0
Pistachio 0.83 0.52 1
Walnut <0.35 <0.35 0
Chestnut 0.49 0.38 1
Macadamia 0.24 1
So, what do these numbers mean, you may be asking. In most cases, his numbers have improved. The largest drop is his Milk, dropping by almost 8 points. That's great! This followed by dog which dropped by 4 points and egg which dropped by 3 points. Peanut also made a good drop. Although Hazelnut only dropped by around 0.5 which doesn't seem like much, it actually dropped by 1/2. Several of the tree nuts have dropped too. Even the smallest drops are exciting for me as age 5 is quickly approaching. (Age 5 is a magic number as usually where they are at age 5 is where they'll stay.)
We did have some increases. Wheat went up to 9.20 which is quite a bit lower than our original number of 33. Cat went up significantly and remains higher than the original. I marked Soy as NA because he safely eats it and it wasn't tested.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are able to do a food challenge for both Milk and Egg. Since the Milk is the lowest, we have that scheduled for next month. I was pretty relieved that I didn't have to wait 3 months like last time. I'm also pretty nervous. He has been anaphylactic to milk before. Now, granted that was when he's numbers were much higher and it was uncooked glass of milk. But, still, it makes me nervous.
Some of you may remember that we did attempt an egg allergy in February. He failed it. He had developed a rash around his lips and (as he described it) salty taste in his mouth. We had to stop it and cancel the rest of the appointments. We cancel the appointments because his other results were higher than his egg and she didn't want him to have a bad reaction and then he become scared of the tests. I felt very disappointed but the allergist said there was a lot of hope. He's reaction was localized and wasn't severe. She said that this was a good sign and felt he'd do better at the next challenge. So, we scheduled a lab recheck and here we are.
So we are hopeful. I honestly was hoping for much higher drops. Since they remain a 3 out of 6, there is a good chance he won't pass. Usually they have to be a 2 or lower. We were quite successful with Soy which was a 3 at the time of the challenge. So, I do hope this will be the case this time.
It's been a while….
Hey there! Sorry I've been a stranger recently. I think I've said this before, but if not, Kindergarten has taken us for quite the loop! My little guy with the allergies is not in kinder, but his big sister is. And anyone with more than one child knows, what impacts one child, impacts the other family members.
Since, I've been absolutely horrible at updating with the mundane stuff, I thought I'd better stop in for the more important update. This one is good news, mostly anyways.
Last week the Little Guy had his labs rechecked. We did do a failed food challenge earlier this winter for egg. Despite failing the challenge, he'd been ok- no anaphylaxis just slight rash around his lips. Overall all the allergist cancelled the other scheduled challenges but felt quite hopeful we'd have success in the future. Well, now the future is here, and we recheck his labs.
I don't have the official numbers, they'll be mailed to me and I'll put them in here once I get them. But overall he had a lot of movement down. In fact, mostly movement down. There were a couple of upward moving numbers (boo!) but at least there weren't many of those. But, since I don't want to go off my memory, I'll go more into that later.
The good news is, we will be doing a milk food challenge next month…wait, that's right, next month! If that goes well, we'll be adding an egg challenge. From my phone conversation, both the milk and egg remain at a 3 on the scale of 1-6. So, there's still a decent chance he'll fail the challenge. However, if he can pass, life will be safer for him and less worrisome for me. This is especially true as age 5 is quickly approaching.

Every year, more than 300,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with blockages in their carotid arteries, which can lead to a dangerous stroke.
Now, there is a new, safer way to clear these arteries.
Biff Yeager has been an actor for more than 40 years. It is a career about which he is passionate.
"I just like to make people feel," said Yeager.
But when he recently found out that he had a blockage in his carotid arteries, he had a new role to play…informed patient.
"I knew that if an artery was blocked, you could have brain damage or a stroke," he said.
Traditionally, doctors repaired the problem with open surgery or a riskier stenting procedure performed through the groin.
"Doing that particular approach for stenting carries twice the stroke risk as doing the open operation," said Dr. Wesley Moore.
Now, with the silk road technique, surgeons enter directly through the neck to access the carotid arteries. To prevent pieces of debris from traveling to the brain, they temporarily reverse blood flow.
"So, if there are any bits of debris present, instead of going toward the brain, or into the brain, they go through a circuit external to the body, trapped in a filter," Moore said.
A stent is placed to keep the artery open. Then, blood flow resumes to its normal direction.
Yeager stayed in the hospital just one night after his procedure. And now he can focus on landing that next part!
The new procedure doesn't require general anesthesia like the traditional, open surgery.
In clinical trials, results show the procedure is as safe as the standard operation. There are about 19 centers in the United States participating in the clinical trial to test this new method.
BACKGROUND: Carotid artery disease is generally defined as the narrowing of the carotid arteries. This happens when cholesterol deposits and fatty substances, known as plaque, build-up in the arteries causing a narrow pathway. A carotid artery occlusion is when there is a complete blockage of the artery, which may put the patient at risk of a stroke. These arteries are two large blood vessels that supply the oxygenated blood to the front of the brain. This part of the brain controls motor functions, thinking, your personality, and your speech. If you are to place your fingers on each side of your neck below the jaw line, you can feel the pulse in the carotid arteries. (Source: http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/carotid-artery-disease-causes-symptoms-tests-and-treatment)
SYMPTOMS: Patients are usually unaware they have carotid artery disease until they have a stroke. Signs that you may have carotid artery disease include:
* Dizziness or loss of balance
* Trouble speaking and understanding
* Severe headaches with an unknown cause
* Trouble seeing in one or both eyes
* Numbness or weakness in face or limbs (Source: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/carotid-artery-disease/DS01030/DSECTION=symptoms)
SILK ROAD PROCEDURE: This new technique was created to protect the brain from stroke risk during carotid artery stenting. It allows doctors to deliver a stent directly from the neck. This is intended to avoid complications associated with starting from the femoral artery in the groin, which is typically used in carotid artery stenting procedures. To provide protection for the patient's brain during the entire procedure, the Silk Road system temporarily reverses blood flow in order to move any debris away from the brain. A worldwide clinical trial called ROADSTER is now underway to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Silk Road system in patients who are at high surgical risk and have either symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery disease. If you have carotid artery disease and your physician has told you that you are at high risk for surgical treatment (carotid endarterectomy), you may be eligible to participate in the ROADSTER trial. Several factors may increase your risk of surgery, including age and other medical conditions you may suffer from. (Source: http://www.silkroadmedical.com/silkroad-procedure/what-it-is/)

text: 'Avengers' Director Whedon Goes On Anti-Capitalist Rant Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 14 Jul 2012 post a comment So says the guy probably worth somewhere around a gajillion dollars and who likely made somewhere around a thousand times more money from "Avengers" than anyone on the crew. But Whedon's obviously talking about socialism for, you know, other people: "We are watching capitalism destroy itself right now," [Whedon] told the audience. He added that America is "turning into Tsarist Russia" and that "we're creating a country of serfs." Whedon was raised on the Upper Westside neighborhood of Manhattan in the 1970s, an area associated with left-leaning intellectuals. He said he was raised by people who thought socialism was a ''beautiful concept." Socialism remains a taboo word in American politics, as Republicans congressmen raise the specter of the Cold War. They refer to many Obama administration initatives as socialist, and the same goes for most laws that advocate increasing spending on social welfare programs. They also refer to the President as a socialist, though this and many of their other claims misuse the term. This evidently frustrates Whedon, who traces this development to Ronald Reagan[.] We have people trying to create structures and preserve the structures that will help the middle and working class, and people calling them socialists," Whedon said. "It's not Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal […] it's some people with some sense of dignity and people who have gone off the reservation." Great idea. Let's start with Hollywood! Good heavens, there are probably a hundred thousand people living in poverty around Los Angeles -- living on the streets, waiting tables, parking cars -- waiting and working and hoping for a taste of the success Joss Whedon's enjoyed. You know, the people Whedon is obviously referring to when he speaks of serfs. I say, tear down those studio walls! Open those studio gates! Enough of Hollywood meritocracy! Spread the wealth! It's time to produce screenplays written by nobodies and cast actors who aren't very good. It's time to pay gaffers and production assistants and wardrobe and make-up personnel the same amount of money as, well, Joss Whedon makes! Lead by example, Joss. Show us the way. Show us how it can work. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC ON BREITBART TV HBO Displays Bush's Head On Spike In 'Game Of Thrones'

March 21, 2007
A new study at UVa shows a decline in the return of 18 to 24-year-olds to smaller counties.
This means trouble for rural counties trying to replace retiring workers. The problem is urgent in 11 counties. At least one quarter of the workforce is expected to reach retirement age by 2016.
"Employment opportunities may be a way to retain for the rural communities to retain it's younger population and hopefully if necessary to attract people from other regions or other parts of the country" said Quian Cai, director of demographics.
Northumberland county leads with the highest retirement. 38% of its residents are between ages 55 and 64.

Ohm Sweet Ohm presents... FeelMyBicep x AUS Music w/ Bicep, Leon Vynehall, Will Saul & Pedram
Sat 22 November at 11:00pm until Sun 23 November 2014 at 06:00am
For our second November party, we have a line-up we have worked very hard to present to you. Co-curated with two of the UK's biggest electronic music institutions, we are extremely proud to give you, Ohm Sweet Ohm presents... FeelMyBicep Vs Aus Records. BICEP First up, we have Belfast born two-piece, Bicep, flexing their musical muscles. Bicep have amassed a ridiculously versatile portfolio of tunes, influenced by many of the best moments in the history of house music. They take a creative, genre-bending approach to production, and embrace elements of house, techno, disco, italo, breakbeat (and everything in between) to create their signature sound: intergalactic 80s-warehouse-inspired, yet undeniably forward thinking analog house music. The boys know their favourite genres inside out, and run their successful blog 'feelmybicep.com' which is a treasure trove of off-the-beaten-track Chicago house, disco, funk and Detroit techno. Therefore, on attending a Bicep set, you will be treated to some unexpected gems that are likely to become your new favourites. For the past two summers, the duo have occupied a residency at the iconic Space club in Ibiza, whilst simultaneously running their 'Feel My Bicep Presents' nights and playing their 'All Night Long' 5 hour sets at various other nights… they can command a dance floor and deliver a party that you won't forget in a hurry. https://www.facebook.com/feelmybicep?fref=ts LEON VYNEHALL Joining Bicep, we have Brighton native Leon Vynehall. Vynehall has been commended for his attention to detail and craftsmanship when it comes to producing house music, creating atmospheric and emotive tracks that take cues from disco, funk and soul. Despite making his debut release just two years ago, he has secured releases on many high quality labels such as Will Saul's 'Aus Music' and Martyn's '3024'. This year, Vynehall has also received praise for the more club-ready house and techno bangers he has worked on under the Laszlo Dancehall alias, comprised of himself and Christian Piers. Vynehall specialises in seamlessly mixed house and techno sets with his own signature stamp - an emphasis on tracks filled with atmosphere and emotion to balance out the more club focused tracks. His spot as a resident DJ for Brighton night Aka Aka Roar helped hone his mastery of the dance floor, and now Vynehall regularly plays acclaimed sets across the highest calibre of clubs from Berghain in Berlin to Razzmataz in Barcelona. By the time Vynehall appears at Ohm his mixing talents will also have ferried him across the pond, as he is about to embark on his first tour of the US and Canada. https://www.facebook.com/LeonVynehall?fref=ts WILL SAUL Rounding off our special guests for the night, we welcome back one of our favourite producers, DJs and record label owners - Will Saul. For those that were present when Saul brought his Aus Records party to Ohm in March along with Dusky, you'll remember what great taste the man has for music made for the dance floor but is enriching for the soul (could have made a pun there but had to restrain myself). Saul is a renowned DJ and producer with over a decade of releases under his belt and also captains explorative label Aus Music. Aus is a label with a strong catalogue of releases spanning many genres, providing a home for tracks from Sideshow, Joy Orbison, Ramadanman, Deetron, Martyn and many more. Prior to Aus, Saul ran Simple Records, named after a simple requirement to put out good music- no matter the genre, early evidence of his music-mindedness and strong creative vision. His impeccably made, versatile productions are definitely at the deeper end of the dance floor spectrum, containing delectable, complex melodies which draw upon elements of dubstep, disco, house and techno. When it comes to mixing, Saul is heralded for being able to effortlessly and entertainingly fuse dance-inducing tracks of all tempos. He was a resident at London's legendary End club alongside a string of now world famous DJs, helping to shape these skills. He shows his enduring support and belief in his own artists by playing many Aus material in sets, which is complemented by his own tracks and exclusive tracks from a close network of talented producer friends. Recently, Saul was asked to mix the latest instalment of !K7's prestigious DJ KICKS series, a testament to his djing talent. https://www.facebook.com/WillSaulMusic?ref=ts&fref=ts PEDRAM Last but not least, we have our resident and Ohm Sweet Ohm creator, Pedram. He has built up an extensive knowledge of electronic music over the years, so he is well equipped to set up the Ohm crowd up with one of his trademark warm up sets incorporating underground house, leftfield electronica and everything in between. Pedram is also a talented producer, having attracted the attention of James Zabiela for some time, who released Pedram's debut EP on his label Born Electric earlier this year which received huge praise from the likes of Midland, Dusky, Tensnake and Martyn. In between throwing parties and touring the UK, usually with the Born Electric gang, Pedram is working on more material to follow the extremely well-received Nina/Immaturity EP. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pedram/199971046711899?fref=ts

Nopal ideas?
- scuzzo Jan 25, 2008 08:42 AM
I recently got turned on to the seemingly great health benefits of Nopal, or Prickly Pear Cactus. Seems like it's a very healthy thing to consume. While I'm sure many do not have access to this, I happen to live near a Mexican market, where it is cheap. I've only been consuming it for four days and have only juiced it with carrots and celery. The cactus juice is very thick and slimey, think aloe vera gel, but it tastes ok. Anyone else cook with this? Good recipes? Thoughts?
I think nopales are best julienne-sliced and quickly pan-fried in a little bit of oil, like you would bell peppers. They're good this way mixed with carmalized onions, chiles, potatoes, scrambled eggs, and/or skirt steak (arracheras). A local favorite Mexican joint serves tacos de bistek con nopales, which is basically seasoned, chopped skirt steak and stips of nopales, cooked as described above. It's a great combination!
I take the cubed nopales and boil them for an hour to help get rid of the slim. Then I saute them in olive oil, with chili flakes, chopped garlic, onion, and a splash of vinegar. Or I'll saute the boiled nopales with soyriso and add some cumin, chili powder, and a splash of vinegar. You can eat them like that or mix it with scrambled eggs, refried beans, or fried potatoes for breakfast burrito,.
If you do a search you will also find recipes for nopal salad. I've haven't made it but it sounds good.
If you like chile, here's an interesting chile verde recipe: http://tinyurl.com/22v9w7 I've had the shortcut on file for a while but haven't actually gotten around to making it.
At my market, I can buy nopales cleaned and diced or in whole paddles (presumably with stickers removed!). Being lazy, I go for the diced.
Here in Mexico, nopales are often served as a side vegetable, and sliced in a salad. Yesterday, we went out to lunch at a little neighborhood restaurant, and their lunch special was spaghetti (kind of a creamy tomato sauce) with nopales. We didn't order it, but it looked good. I think alot of people must eat them, because they are for sale in large quantity in the grocery stores.
My mom would brown pieces of pork. She would then add the boiled nopales and a can of Herdez Salsa Casera. She would also add more liquid if needed and then let it all cook together.
Note: Herdez Salsa Casera is just onion, chili, garlic, tomato, and cilantro. Which you could add instead.
I've never dealt with the raw paddles but I like to make salad with the jarred ones. Nopales, diced up with onions, tomatoes, fresh cilantro, serrano pepper, and lime juice.
Nopales con huevo.. But you must cook the nopales. Boil nopales with a garlic clove and onion. Salt to taste. Careful not to over cook. Drain.
I put a little oil or Pam in a pan. Toss around the nopales until they are warm then add the beaten eggs. Stir around eat with Tapatillo salsa.
re: kanosis
When you say "careful not to over cook" , what are you looking for? Are they supposed to be crunchy or soft? Is there any other vegetable with equivalent texture?
Nopales with a chile sauce and pork chops. Again, make sure the nopales are cooked. Once the pork chops are ready add your favorite red sauce and 3 inch strips of cooked nopales. Yum.
Nopales can be delicious or terrible. I am sure that for the best health benefits it's probably best to eat them raw in a shake or something, but I am certain that is not really the tastiest way.
Nopal goo is nasty stuff, so it's best to get rid of it. Boiling is probably a good method, but I don't like how it zaps away all of the color from them, and I've never been a fan of boiled veggies... I'd have to echo the recommendations from this recipe: http://www.easymexicanfood.com/perfec...
I've gotten the best result from frying them raw until they're tender and goo-free, shallots and roasted garlic thrown in during cooking give them a wonderful flavor too.
Once they are cooked you can keep them to snack on or use them on other dishes, you can put them in an omelette, stir fry them with steak strips, make a nopal salad, they have a very very versatile flavor I think.
Hope you enjoy your nopales !
re: sakelover75
I am wondering if the "terrible" nopales came from old pads. Nopales should be picked young without the thorns getting too hard. I don't think I've ever seen family recipes "frying" nopales...I've grilled them, but frying? Do you fry them like a fried chicken or just a lil' oil? Thanks for sharing.
Boiling doesn't make the goo go away... it makes it worse. Steaming produces less goo... if you boil... add tomatillo peels. Roasting, Grilling or Griddling at high heat is the best way to get rid of goo... but boiling or steaming is usually preferable if you are going to make a salad... just chill afterwords in a colander... the small amount of goo gives the salad an unctous texture overall.
Some classic Nopales preparations...
> Juice... its partner in crime is usually fresh pineapple
> Pre-cooked, cubed sauteed with any of the following chorizo, potatoes, eggs, bacon, chiles, onions, garlic, chipotles en adobo
> Nopales-Fava Soup with Mint
> In Mole
> Griddled with Melted Cheese & Sauced
> In Molcajetes
re: Eat_Nopal
The goo goes away when I boil the ones I get in the Houston markets. Now the ones my mother grows aren't as gooey so she just saute's over high heat (as mentioned) until the goo is gone.
Mom will also marinade the cooked ones in the left over pickle juice with onions, carrot slices, and a chili or two. These are great as a snack.
re: tlegray
Thanks... Pickled are also traditional, I forgot about that prep.
re: Gina123
No, you do not skin them. Just remove the needles, fine stickers and trim as needed. You do not need to peel them.
I also love nopalitos in eggs as well as salad. Just boil them and allow to cool. Chop up other salad veggies very small and dress with a vinegar and oil dressing. Top with a feta type cheese.
Nopalitos are so so good, mom used to fix them in chile colorado (red) along with pinto beans and a tortilla. Oh my, but you need to use new pencas as they are tender, cut in the morning or early evening.
I am just saying as this is what she does.
Partially broil the nopales, cut into strips, fry it the rest of the way with scrambled eggs, and put into breakfast quesadillas. Or serve the paddles whole, topped with rice, beans, and queso fresco.

Johnson, Sanford Continue Battle For Starting Safety SpotPosted by on August 30, 2011 – 3:18 pm
QBs Christian Ponder and Joe Webb have rotated starts and shared practice reps and playing time this preseason as the Vikings offensive coaching staff tries to make a determination about which guy will be the backup to veteran Donovan McNabb. The defensive coaching staff has employed a similar tactic in trying to determine who will start with Husain Abdullah at the safety position.
Tyrell Johnson and Jamarca Sanford are the two players vying for a starting role in Defensive Coordinator Fred Pagac's scheme and their competition hasn't yielded an answer, yet. But from the sounds of it, Pagac and the rest of the Vikings coaching staff will be ready to make a decision after Thursday night's preseason finale against the Houston Texans.
"The guys have been fighting all of camp," Pagac said. "I think both of them have done an excellent job. Obviously they're going to continue to fight and we're going to make a decision after this game. We'll see how they do and I'll tell you what, both of them have done a very good job so far."
While Johnson or Sanford apparently haven't been able to separate from the competition, it's at least good news to know that both guys are competing and are playing well enough to remain in consideration for the starting job. Had either or both players been underperforming – and thus the coaching staff unable to name one of them the starter – then we would've seen other names emerge as possibilities, such as rookie Mistral Raymond or perhaps a player on the open market.
As it stands, expect both guys to see quite a bit of playing time on Thursday night against Houston. And also don't be surprised if this is a competition that continues throughout the season, which will increase the level of performance from both players.

The Prescription Pill Epidemic Has Spiraled Out of Control -- Sheriff's Death Is an Alarm Bell
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
In the small coal towns of southern West Virginia, the poorest patch of Appalachia, the police blotters these days read like big-city tabloid fodder. Last month, a 23-year-old man received up to 25 years in prison for wheeling a quadriplegic to a house against his will, carrying him inside, beating him and stealing his prescription painkillers. That same week, a 25-year-old man was charged with child neglect resulting in death for taking three prescription painkillers and passing out, suffocating his one-month-old son in his arms. The child's 21-year-old mother was charged as an accomplice.
A couple of weeks ago, the manager of a pain clinic in the Mingo County seat of Williamson (nickname "Pilliamson") pleaded guilty to "reluctantly selling drug prescriptions illegally"--abetting doctors in writing scripts for thousands of prescription pill addicts. "Patients" would line up at the clinic before it opened, like bargain shoppers at a Black Friday Christmas sale. And now, as the nation knows, the Mingo County sheriff is dead, shot at point-blank range as he sat in his car eating a sandwich.
Eugene Crum, a former small-town police chief and magistrate who'd been in office just three months, was gunned down at lunchtime last Wednesday in downtown Williamson, a city of 3,160 residents. Crum, who had pledged to crack down on Mingo County's rampant prescription drug abuse, also happened to be staking out a parking lot, as he did most days at noon. The lot, attached to a pharmacy that was busted as a pill mill over two years ago, remains a notorious drug market, where pill pushers and addicts buy, sell and swap opioids.
The motive for Crum's murder remains unclear. The suspect, Tennis Melvin Maynard, 37, was shot by a deputy sheriff after a car chase and remains in the hospital. But the suspect's father has said it wasn't personal or political. He told the Associated Press that his son had become "mentally disturbed" after being exposed to harmful chemicals and injured working at an Alabama coal mine, and that he most likely shot the sheriff for no reason. As he put it: "He would have probably shot anybody, the first one he come to, you know what I'm saying?"
But locals, law enforcement officials and residents naturally suspect that pills had something to do with Crum's death. Pills, prescription oxycodones and hydrocodones, are responsible for most horrors in Mingo County. Home invasions, shootings, assaults, kidnappings, fatal DUIs and robberies, nearly all tied to prescription drugs, regularly make news here. The scourge of "pillin'" is so rampant that residents barely remember the good old days of mere abject poverty. Crum's execution-like shooting (the gunman reportedly used a silencer) was immediately compared to the murders, less than a week earlier, of a Texas district attorney and his wife, and the murder, two weeks before, of the head of Colorado's prison system.
Crum was a man on a mission. His Operation Zero Tolerance had led to the indictments of dozens of suspected dealers since he became sheriff in January. One month into the job, Operation Zero Tolerance, a joint effort of Crum's Sheriff's Department, the Mingo County Drug Task Force and other community police departments, busted a major pill ring. "Enough is enough," Crum said at the time.
Even if Crum's death turns out, as the suspect's father claimed, to be the random act of a disturbed mind, it's a clarion call for help. A sheriff who reinvigorated the fight against pilling in the prescription drug abuse capital of the country is gone. The potential chilling effect on fighting the good fight in this long-neglected corner of West Virginia cannot be underestimated.

I feel like Bobby Roode is lacking something
So, I'm a huge Roode fan. Love the guy. I think he's one of the best parts of TNA.
That said, I feel like he's lacking something: A distinctive move. Or hell, maybe a few. I know, I know. Wrestling isn't about the moves. Blah blah blah. But the moves you use go a big way in determining your character. I find it hard to get into his matches, because I never know what to look for. I mean, he's got the spinebuster and the fisherman's suplex but why should I care about them? Neither one feels like a big Bobby Roode move to me. By contrast, when I watch Hardy? I know when to watch for the Twist, or the Whisper in the wind. I don't think I'm the only one either. When Bobby hooks that leg for the Payoff, shouldn't there be a pop? There isn't. I don't think you ever hear the crowd respond.
I think he could work on this. Work on developing some distinctive stuff for me to watch for as a fan. Or hell, if he wants to keep using that stuff? Give us a reason why. Give us some vignettes on his love of old school wrestlers. Show us his inspiration. Train us as an audience what to look for.
Anyway, my two cents. Do you agree? Am I wrong on this? When he hits the Spinebuster, do you go "Oh, there's one of his signature moves" or do you just sorts shrug? Let's talk about it, wrestlingforum.

 Absolutely fabulous!! I was using Veganaise until recently when I came across moldy globs in it (yuck). I had been meaning to find a good vegan mayo recipe to make my own but hadn't gotten around to it. I searched around the internet for recipes and yours sounded great and I had everything to make it already in the house ! Anyway.... it hasn't even cooled completely and it tastes fantastic. Never again will be buying veganaise. My husband likes their chipolte mayo so will be making a version of that with your recipe once he runs out. I am also looking forward to trying the Miso variation. Thanks so much!

I stumbled upon this recipe (and your website) when I googled, "vegan oil-free mayonnaise" The Truth is, I didn't really expect to find something that would blow my socks off -- but rather was looking for a starting point to try to come up with something that might cut the fat from my reuban sandwiches I love to make, but hate that the cost and calories of the veganaise that it requires....
 Soooo I tried your recipe and I must tell you -- I haven't been this excited about a recipe since I first learned to cook with tofu nearly 25 years ago. What you have created here is absolutely amazing! The fact that it is also gluten free and soy free, means that I can use it to feed all my friends with special diets too! It is smooth, creamy, thick, rich tasting and absolutely delicious beyond my wildest dreams of what was possible. The fact that this will also save me money over buying prepared vegan mayo is just another bonus on top of all of that.

So thank you -- not only for your brilliance and creativity -- but for your generosity in choosing to give this away for free on line!

So many people will benefit from what you have done.

Thanks,

Bu...I love Hellmann's mayo - there is no other. But I would rather give up the mayo altogether than to use Veganaise. It does not taste ANYTHING like Hellmann's. I so love mayo so I try every recipe I find looking for the perfect one. Yours looks like it has the consistency of Hellmann's so I am anxious to try it. I need more cashews and of course, as usual I have agar flakes so I have to get powder. (When they serve soup I always come with a fork). Since becoming vegan I haven't had a good cucumber sandwich, so hoping this works. Will let you know - you haven't failed me yet! :)

I'm so going to make this recipe tonight and try it on my salad.

How do you come up with these?!? :)
One note, and it's no doubt a personal taste thing, but I'd recommend using UN-sweetened "milk".
