as told by his mother
I knew about peanut allergies so I thought I would start off with a small amount of peanut butter on a tablespoon. A decision I will replay till the day I die.
With in minutes Ashton had hives. "Ok," I thought. I will just give him some Benadryl he will be ok. Then the hives became welts all over his body. Like thousands of bees had stung my baby boy.
Ten minutes with Benadryl Ashton had swelling of the face and neck, he was drooling, and coughing. I immediately called the pediatrician and told my husband to give him a bath. Thinking, "Oh my god get the peanut butter off of him." The pediatrician immediately called back and told us to bring him to the ER. I put my son in the car and thought, "Dear god please don't let my baby boy die."
I did 80 mph the whole way to the hospital praying for the first time in my life that a cop would be on the road. See I was by myself because my husband had stayed home to watch our daughter. All I could think was if they pulled me over I would have someone to help my baby. I would have a police escort to the hospital. He would be safe. There never was a cop on the road that day. When we finally reached the hospital a grueling 30 minutes later Ashton was wheezing. As I ran to the hospital with Ashton in my arms I thought, "Will this be the last time I hold you?" As they rushed us to the pediatric ER I looked down at my barely recognizable son and thought, "Will this be the last time I see you?"
We were under constant supervision by doctors and nurses. After being released then readmitted because he had a secondary reaction we were allowed to go home. I was released with a new Epi-pen prescription and a diagnosis that would change my life forever. Ashton was anaphylactic to peanuts. Ashton has had multiple reactions since then. Most of them resulting from just touching his allergens. The reason why is because my son has chronic eczema and the allergen can easily enter his blood stream thorough the cracks in his skin. His latest reaction being from soap that was cross contaminated with nuts.
Since our diagnosis 7 months ago my son has been in the hospital 5 times, rode in the ambulance twice, has been given his Epi-pen, been on multiple doses of steroids, and has taken Benadryl countless times. We rarely leave the house because of the fear Ashton will come into contact with his allergens. We can not go to the park, library, even the grocery store is a lethal situation. Because we do not know what he may come into contact with. What if the person just before us ate something with peanuts in it and then touched the cart. We can not leave the house with out our arsenal of life saving drugs including four Epi-pens, Benadryl, and his rescue inhaler.
See there is no cure for his allergies. He can not go and get allergy shots his only way of staying safe is to avoid his allergen. But how do you avoid something you can not see? That is where an allergy alert dog would help. I may not be able to see it but the dog could smell it. An allergy alert dog will search for Ashton's allergens and then be able to alert us of a dangerous situation. The dog will search for Ashton's allergens just like they would search for a bomb or narcotics but instead he would just be searching for a different scent. He could keep my son safe. He could allow Ashton to have more freedom. We could go to the park with out fear. My son could get his childhood back.

Yet another cavalierly abstinent teen hero sulks through the swamps of Beautiful Creatures, a shot of pop-goth hogwash so overheated that during its run theater owners could set aside a couple of aisles and cultivate Louisiana passionflower. Here witch Lena (Alice Englert) is urged by her family to spurn the love of nonmagical local boy Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) to protect him from the usual forces of darkness. The new wrinkle: She is staring down her imminent 16th birthday, which in the daft mythology worked out by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, whose books all this is based on, is the time of "claiming" when a female "caster" like herself discovers whether the forces of the universe have willed her to serve "light" or "dark." (Even in an abstinence fantasy, that's surprisingly conservative — that women possessed of extraordinary gifts have a 50/50 shot of being factory-set for evil.) Primness aside, the movie is terrific fun. Savor the candied gloom. The story is overstuffed with curses, dream visions, spell-driven freakouts, voodoo nonsense, Confederate ghosts, religious crazies, secret societies, extended witch family, and testaments to the power of reading. A Southern sheriff runs his cruiser off the road, as all in movies must; the third act turns on a library research project spanning months, which is unusual in movies with police car crashes. Director Richard LaGravenese, who also adapted the novel, lavishes the material with greater wit than its demographic demands, and the central love story feels warm-blooded — the air prickles between the leads.

PANAMA CITY, Fla- The Bay football program now has it's next head coach in place.
Principal Billy May tells newschannel 7 sports he's hired Jimmy Longerbeam, who comes south from Loris High School in Horry South Carolina, in the very northeast part of the state. As May puts it, Longerbeam "blew away" the search committee Thursday, and they feel very confident in the hire.
Oddly enough, May and the committee found out about Longerbeam through Dale Brewer, the assistant from Pensacola who three weeks ago, was offered and accepted the Bay job. Brewer wanted to bring Longerbeam to Bay as defensive coordinator.
Then after Brewer backed out of the job, Longerbeam was already on Bay's radar when he applied.
Longerbeam has 8 years head coaching experience, the last four at Loris, where his teams were 7-3 and 6-4 the last two seasons. He was voted his region's 2-A coach of the year last season.
After accepting the job following his interview at Bay Thursday, the coach drove back home to inform his players Friday. He'll back in the area for some kind of introduction to local fans early next week.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 361 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Manju Hotel did not meet my expectations I recently stayed at the Aloft Baltimore Airport Hotel and I am deeply disappointed in the service and condition of this hotel. Below is a list of issues/challenges experienced during my stay. 1.) When I booked my reservations I had requested to be on a higher floor if possible. Of the 12 floors I was placed on floor #3. 2.) Hotel towels were extremely dirty and stained. 3.) Painting chipping on my bedroom wall. 4.) The tiled floor in the bathroom was filthy with stains. 5.) Shower was nasty with stains on the wall. 6.) Sheets were stained. 7.) Overnight front desk staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. When I tried to purchase snacks that night it took her 20 minutes to figure out pricing and get me checked out. I wanted to pay with cash and or credit card but because she was untrained and couldn't figure out the cash register she said she would bill it to my room. Mind you it took her 30 minutes of me standing patiently while she tried to figure out what to do and finally after standing there 30 minutes she stated that she would bill it to my room. Each encounter with the front desk clerk made me more and more frustrated - she was very rude and acted if though guest were irritating her anytime we asked a question. She seemed to not know simple questions like where is the business center or computer area, 8.) Staff complaining about having to work in front of guest - very unprofessional. I made my decision to stay at this Aloft location due to a recent stay I had at the Rogers, AR location. Hopefully you can take this feedback for an opportunity to improve this hotel. Thanks, April 22, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by jyfort Hotel has POOR customer service I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The staff was unfriendly. Arrived to my room without any wash clothes, had only one towel in room, I called the front desk/housekeeping for wash clothes and towels and I finally received it an hour later. The following morning I had the same problem and missed my flight due to lack of service. I was totally disappointed with my stay at the Aloft. I will NEVER stay here again. December 1, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Demp Great place to stay I love the contemporary look of this hotel. The prices of the food and beverages were pricey but a good variety. The only reason it was average on SPG recogniton is because I used my StarPro October 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Patsy Carpet dirty we asked for a quiet room when we made the reservation - we were given a room across from the elevators! Our room also had a connecting door to the next room. Carpet was clearly dirty - nasty. There were MANY hotels to choose from - in all price ranges. We were DISAPPOINTED! December 14, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by KRBA Been there often, hotel cutting back a bit Have been at your facility many times since it opened. Always received $10 coupon towards refreshments, which I used to stock up for the long road trips that followed my stays; now it's gone. A pad for taking notes that was always in the room is now gone. The coffee maker was gone, until I asked for one! What's going next?? Your facility is not the bargain it used to be compared with other motels offering complimentary breakfast. Will pass along this info to friends; let the traveler beware!!! October 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Toney59 This hotel has great customer service Cannot comment on food and beverages. Just an overnight stay. Recommended by another hotel where my event was being held, as an overflow, because they were booked. October 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lulu74 Cool Cool hotel, like the concept of an open style lobby. The hotel shuttle took A long time to pick us up, that was a bit annoying since it was midnight, but the driver was nice though and apologized and got us to hotel safe. Rooms at nice, quiet and comfy. Reminded me a bit of Europe. Good coffee and amenities in the rooms. October 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nancy1 Chrsitmas stay This hotel was lovely and the design was refreshing.. The staff was fabulous. the room design was open, airy and relaxing and the beds were comfortable. My only concern was that i reserved and prepaid the room for 3 adults and a child and the room was only set up for two. Since we arrived late (and i did call ahead) it was disappointing to wake up and not have enough towels and then to have to get dressed and go down to get them in the lobby because housekeeping was not yet there. December 28, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by CCamp Staff needs customer service training My wife and i stayed there as part of a weekend getaway. When we arrived, we asked the front desk agent could we see a room. She asked security to take us up to a room and when we decided to check in, she checked us in to a totally different room. The following morning we woke up got dressed and went out for the day. When we returned at 3pm our room had not been cleaned. We called the front desk and asked to have a housekeeper come to our room. At 4:57 pm the housekeeper came and offered us towels. We informed her that we needed our room cleaned. She then asked us to leave while she cleaned. We did and when we came back the only thing she had did was make the bed. I went down to talk to the HouseKeeping manager. He told me that he would have her come back to the room and finish. An hour later she came back cleaned the toliet with toliet paper and did not even fluch it nor did she clean the entire toliet. I called down for the manager to come up to the room. He never came. i went down to the lobby and the house keeping manager walk right by me and did not even say anything. At 10:57 pm i called the General Manager. She did a good job to smooth things over and show general concern. She offered me 5000 star points. & days later i still have not recieved those star points. October 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JH217 Nice Hotel, but accessible rooms not huge We picked this hotel for the indoor pool and the proximity to the airport. Both of these things met our expectations. The only issue I had was the size of the handicap accessible room that I requested. My son is in wheelchair and the accessible room we had was so small that he could not turn around in the room at all. October 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Deb1004 Regarding Staff The Aloft is our favorite hotel. We do get a ways to Winchester Va all the time. I had to pick my daughter up at BWI on a Sunday 12th and I stayed the night on Saturday Reg No# 20868068 - 2836432 -1st I made reserved the room week or so ahead. we get a room on the bottom floor with a view of a parking lot. :( Asking the check in clerk for a better room. She could of been a little nicer. It make me want to walk out! The hotel in Winchester Va Staff was a lot nicer. Your staff was nice! But the girl that cked me in made me feel very uncomfortable. This was my 1st expressions of your hotel. This girl was black lady with long dreadlocks. also I talked to the same girl over the phone for early check in and she also made me feel uncomfortable. People like this should not work in public. I even expressed my concern to a very nice girl later that night at the front desk. Short hair "Adorable Soul" Over all we love your hotel but hope in the future. The staff would be nicer to the customers. October 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by curtwmiller Never again I have been staying at the Aloft hotel for years. Every time my wife and I fly out of BWI, we stay at the Aloft, mainly because of the free parking they offered during out stay. Apparently, the free parking policy changed this past summer, as I found out on October 14. I had booked out stay, as usual, through the website. Every time I have stayed at the Aloft BWI I called in advance just to make sure the free parking policy had not changed. I made the mistake of not calling this time. My bad. When I got there, I was rudely informed that the parking policy had changed "this past summer" because the hotel was now "under new management". Amazing since the hotel seems to still be under SPG/Starwood Hotels. Anyway, the woman at the front desk told me I had to pay an additional $8 per night to park my car. I almost fell over. I told her it wasn't like it was the Hilton, which apparently is also owned by the same company? Anyway, after much arguing, she still charged me an additional $30 to park my car there for the week. No where on the website does it say parking is an extra charge, and I could not find anywhere that it said the parking policy had changed. We had just stayed there in April of this year when we flew out of BWI to go to Vegas. To add insult to injury, when we got to our room, there was no refrigerator, only an empty space where the fridge goes. I needed ice for a soda, so I had to go to the lobby and fetch my own little bag of ice because there are no ice machines either. On my way to get ice, I spoke to several people on the elevator who all told me they did not pay extra for parking. What a sham! Apparently I shouldn't have said anything because they don't even give you a placard for your card. They have no idea who paid and who didn't pay. When I got up the next day to check out, the man at the front desk told me he wouldn't have charged me the extra parking fee, but said now it was "too late" to refund my money because I was literally getting on the shuttle for our international flight. If that didn't add insult to injury! I am so upset about this experience. Everywhere these hotels and resorts nickle and time poor folks out of their hard-earned money. I would really like a refund of the parking charge but can't seem to get in touch with anyone from the hotel staff. October 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rjr4u1961 Beyond expectations This was a diamond in the rough. Never exspected such a high calibur in quality and serviceability. The staff went over and beyond, the extra mile. Clean and comfortable room, shuttle service was outstanding, pool life guard very outgoing, breakfast chef was spot on, and last but not forgotten, behind the counter, FANTASTIC. Highly recommended. Will return and experiance other locations. Thank you everyone. June 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Moe9 Excellent I really enjoyed myself stay here. I got a good nights rest. The staff was great. October 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DispleasedFromNJ Unpleasant Staff & Dirty Room I would never recommend Aloft BWI Baltimore Washington International Airport. I waited until 9:30 pm for my room to be ready and it still took until 12 am to get towels. The bathroom was dirty with hair on the floor, the bathroom doors could not latch closed and would drift open, there was no hand or shower soap (which we never received at all), and the staff member on duty at the front desk told me he was too busy to bring the folded towels up to the room (but they were clean and folded). I left several phone messages for the manager and the general manager on Sunday evening; it is now Tuesday, and neither has returned my call. In addition, another couple we came with had no bathroom door and a leaking shower in their room and another couple could not flush their toilet. None of those issues were addressed during the stay. October 15, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lindy43 rooms need improvement I do not like the shower: shower head is too weak and had trouble just washing soap off body; do not like just shower - shower door continued to open means it was not hung evenly; mattress was extremely hard and difficult to get comfortable for sleep; staff was extremely friendly but they obviously cannot do anything regarding a 'weak shower head' nor the hardness of the mattresses October 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Idris Mr. We were really happy about all the services. The front desk and the housekeeping staff were very helpful. The front desk staff by the name Irina Rangelova was very professional and cooperative, as well as the housekeeper, Alicia was wonderful and very polite, I hope to come and stay in this hotel in the near future.Thanks again Abdenur Idris May 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JD02 Awesome Hotel, Great Staff First of all, I stay at Sheraton hotels about 3 nights a week, so I see all the different brands and a bunch of different people. When I arrived at this hotel Pierre the manager greeted me at the front desk, recognized my SPG status and took great care of me. The staff was very polite and helpful. The hotel was SUPER clean and the room was perfect. This is the only spot to stay in Linthicum Heights. August 2, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by NotImpressedEither west nursery rd location I thought I was booking a room near to the anne arundel mills mall. this location was pretty far away from anything. the front desk staff was short and rude and not very knowledgable. I was trying to connnect to the internet from my room. the staff was not technical at all. i will have to give this place a thumbs down. I would only select this location if no other location was available. January 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smithkid 2013 Baltimore Stay The hotel was really cool and the staff was awesome! The room had a king bed, bowl sink, rainfall shower head, soap and shampoo dispensers, a flat screen TV, and overall a modern, quiet room. The thing that I have experienced in most hotels is the annoying sound of someone turning on the water in the morning for a shower! Not here....smooth and sweet. I had a terrible travel time to the hotel and the staff gave me "freebies" that I truly appreciated. The music playing in the lobby and the elevator was very relaxing and welcome. The only disappointment was not seeing the hotel lit up at night as it appears on the website. August 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Neicy Housekeeping Hats off to the housekeeping staff Janet & Manager Theresa Mitchell... They took very good care of me & my guest, anything we needed they were there over and beyond the call of duty... This is the reason I come back to clean & friendly hotels is because of housekeeping... If the hotel not clean they lose business (Mines any way)... So Housekeeper's keep up the good work. August 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nerol Nice Hotel I loved this hotel, the shuttle driver was awesome, front desk staff was very kind and helpful. This is a very hip hotel so if you stay on the weekend be prepared for a "party" like environment. March 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Timothy78 Awesome Hotel with Great Staff and Clean Rooms Great staff here and very friendly environment. My room was extremely clean and it was great for an overnight stay. I will definitely return to this hotel. June 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JK1987 Fun place to spend the night I like the modern style, clean lines, fun colors. I really enjoyed my stay. March 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by dhlawrencexvii Not what I expected - a good night's sleep is not in your future I stayed at this Aloft a couple of years ago, and loved it. This time, not so much. The sheets felt pilled and rough, and like they hadn't been changed in days. No refrigerator? That's so 1998. The light on the desk has a consumer grade switch that apparently broke some time ago. When I called down to the front desk to ask for a replacement, I was told none was available, but that a note would be left for maintenance to come replace it. I'm still waiting. But the worst part was the lack of blackout drapes/shades. I get that you want things to be all modern for us tech dudes and dudettes, but being that ALL of your customers are travelers and MOST of them will be from other time zones, being awakened at 5:55 by bright sunlight coming into my room, with NO WAY OF STOPPING IT since the blind only went so far down the window, and even then, only colored the light as it came in...that's a deal breaker. I felt horrible all day - uncomfortable sleep and an unwanted 3-hour early awakening meant a crappy surly dad went to her daughter's graduation. The money I saved wasn't worth this pain. I won't be coming back, and I'll be going on Yelp, Tripit and any other sites I can find to make sure people know about this. David May 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Speedy Great stay I was very impressed with the design n functionality of the hotel. It's true to it's name. It very lofty and state of the art. We only stayed one night as we were there for an appointment, but the staff were very helpful and efficient. The rooms were kinda small but comfortable, cozy and clean. Beds were comfortable. Only drawback is you have to pay for your breakfast there. They do have a shuttle if u need for the 5min ride to the airport. But you will need a cab to get downtown. It's about $25 to $30 each way. Go check out The Harbor...there's plenty of restaurants there. Aloft was a treat. March 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by sinned68 niceeee but... I have stayed at this location numerous times however to the point im aware the one bartender has mood changes. He is a slim white male that has a very close hair cut. I was at the bar with my girlfriend and I had to return to the room and I told my girlfriend to pay for my drink and he asked her was I coming back she advised she was not sure but paid for my drink. He got the money and threw his hands up in discuss because there was no tip. My girlfriend had not finished her drink and had every intention on tipping him. When she advised him of this he said just throw it on the bar in a disguted manner. Im surprised he is allowed to work at the bar because of his personality.I noticed his detatched personality long ago. This last stay as a spg guest I was given a room with no door for the bathroom to be seperated as I later found out it was a handicap room well Im not handicapped. My room was changed as this is no fun too hall bottles of wine and move once your settled! I love the hotel but sometimes even as a spg preferred guest you can be treated otherwise. Avoid the bar I even watched this same bartender get upset as some other guests requested something that caused disgust as he stormed off and left the bar.... Last the rear door was not working and me along with another guest were stuck outside due to the door not reading our room cards well thats not cool to have to wait in the cold until someone sees you and decides to let you in! I normally have no complaints but the unfriendly bartender , along with a bathroom with no sliding door which made my girlfriend freak out and last but least stuck in the cold because of a broken rear door caused me to write a detailed review. One other thing that was strange there was one towel and one wash cloth in my room so I thought maybe my room was booked for one adult well that was not the case....I use my own products however thats not normal. This is my first time even thinking of making a review like this because normally all aervice is flawless at Aloft January 11, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by spgtravalot no room when i arrived (6pm), and thats just the beginning The shower had hair on the walls, obviously not cleaned. One towel in the room, no wash cloth and a hand towel serving as a bathmat. The cappuccino maker flashed "needs cleaning" on the first morning of my stay, and remained that way. It failed to produce a decent cup of anything. There were no forks for breakfast, staff was ill prepared to handle anything other than hand out vouchers to try and appease various guests. Needs new management before SPG gets too many black eyes to ruin the reputation of a great concept hotel. October 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ccshu702 Not what I expected Well I just returned home from deployment and expected this lush hotel that met all my needs. First off I came in later than expected and when I went to the bar to eat all they had was fries and crab cakes, my only saving grace was the cold bar. Surprisingly, they do not offer room service and the room did not have a refrigerator or a microwave. On a plus side the hotel was close to the airport, the transportation is free, the bed was amazing and they have body wash if you forget yours. Due to time restraints I wasn't able to experience Baltimore to the fullest but if your going to be in town for a while I would choose another hotel. August 14, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by CatarinaF AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL This was the most atrocious hotel experience. Our bathroom did not have a door. After calling down to the front desk, the woman responded with a curt, 'Ill send someone right up.' After an hour of waiting, no one showed up, and as we had dinner plans, we left hoping the issue would be resolved upon our arrival. We get back, and not only is the toilet clogged, but still no door. We called down again, just to have the man at the front desk act surprised and bewildered at our lack of door. 'I will tell the manager in the morning,' he said. This clearly never happened. When checking out, we briefed the woman at the front desk of our problems- she gave us some half-assed story about ordering the wrong doors from China and the shipping being the reason why there were no doors yet. Absolute lie. Do yourself a favor and find another hotel to stay at. September 24, 2014

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. The Grand Junction Tigers and Palisade Bulldogs met at Brownson Arena for a non-conference game with just about two weeks left in the regular season.
It was a close race for the girls as Palisade held the lead in the third quarter, only to have it taken away early. They were left playing catch-up the remainder of the game. Casey Brown hit a three=pointer in the final seconds to make it a one-bucket game, but Grand Junction held on for the win, defeating Palisade 46-43.
For the boys, it was a bit more difficult for the Bulldogs to keep pace with the Tigers. Right away Grand Junction jumped to a 9-2 lead, and they dictated the remainder of the night, finishing on top 54-34.

Most of us remember profound events in our lives, whether it's seeing Bugs Bunny at Disney World or watching footage of the 2005 terrorist attacks in London. We even recall mundane things, like playing with Play-Doh in preschool.
The only problem is, none of these memories is possible: Bugs Bunny is not a Disney character, video footage of the bombing doesn't exist and the brains of children under the age of three aren't yet capable of storing long-term memories [source: Ridgway].
Yet the mere suggestion that having these memories is normal, if not expected, likely had you probing your memory for some recollection. Suggestion and expectation are just two factors that can contribute to the creation of such so-called false memories. These erroneous recollections may involve the confusion of key details, like time and place, or they may be made up entirely.
Memory is constantly being shaped by our feelings, knowledge and beliefs, so the memories we pull out often look nothing like the individual pieces we put in. It may even be that accuracy isn't memory's primary goal. Rather, since memory is often used as a tool that guides future actions, reconstructing it like we do may enable us to make better decisions [source: Dingfelder].
Many of the brain processes responsible for memory inaccuracies can actually help us to store greater quantities of information, but that ability comes at a price. Though memory is what makes it possible for you to know how to whip up a quick batch of eggs and get to work in the morning, it can go wrong in any number of ways. Let's look at five ways our brains form false memories.
5. Misinformation
Like the Play-Doh from preschool, memory has a tendency to become more manipulated as more people come into contact with it. Let's say you've just witnessed a crime. Later, you talk to other witnesses and read the news coverage about it. The police ask you leading questions. Each of these acts has the potential to alter the information you initially stored in your brain. If another witness mentions the criminal's blue jacket, you may very well work that jacket into your own recollection. Likewise, a suggestive question such as "Did you see the man's gun?" could make you believe you observed him brandishing such a weapon even if you didn't [source: Loftus].
Using various forms of misinformation, researchers have succeeded in implanting false memories into people's minds about everything from getting lost in the mall as a child to having been the victim of a vicious animal attack [source: Loftus]. In such cases, corroboration from others can make the misinformation even more powerful. In one study, completely innocent subjects confessed to breaking a computer and even offered up supporting details to the incident when a peer claimed to have seen them do it [source: Loftus].
4. Misattribution
Not all false memories are due to external factors like suggestion: Some we manage all by ourselves. Misattribution errors, or source misattributions, happen when you mix up details from two separate events and combine them into one cohesive memory. Remembering that your Uncle Joe told a funny joke last night when in fact it was your brother is a case of source misattribution. According to some theories of memory, misattribution errors are a result of failed memory binding -- the binding together of the individual parts of a memory into one cohesive unit [source: Schacter]. In the case of the funny joke, your recollection of the joke wasn't appropriately tied to your recollection of your brother.
One particularly powerful form of misattribution is imagination. Referred to as imagination inflation, simply imagining a childhood event can increase one's confidence that it really occurred [source: Loftus].
In a similar vein, watching another person do something can make people believe that they, too, performed the same task [source: Association for Psychological Science]. In these cases, people misattribute their familiarity with the imagined or observed task as evidence that they performed it. You've experienced a version of this if you've ever thought about taking out the trash and then wondered later if you actually did it.
3. Fuzzy Tracing
If asked to recall the first and last sentences on the previous page, you'd probably come up empty-handed. But if quizzed on the page's main idea, you'd (hopefully) pass with flying colors. This is the idea behind a theory of memory known as fuzzy trace theory. It holds that people record experiences in two different ways: as verbatim traces, based on what actually happened, and as gist traces, based on their interpretation of what happened. While remembering something in terms of its overall picture using gist traces (as opposed to the nitty-gritty specifics of verbatim traces) can be useful in freeing up valuable brain space, a person's impression of what an event meant doesn't always jibe with what actually happened; this is where false memories creep in [source: National Science Foundation].
As evidence of fuzzy trace theory, when subjects are presented with a list of semantically related words like candy, lollipop, cookie, sugar and tea, many claim to have also heard the word "sweet" [source: Schacter]. The fact that they remember the list in terms of its general meaning as opposed to its individual components leads them to form an inaccurate memory.
Because children aren't as adept at extracting meaning from events as adults, their memories are sometimes more accurate. In general, children lean more on the part of the brain that records details, while adults tend to rely more on the part responsible for storing an event's overall meaning, leaving them more open to the intrusion of false memories [source: National Science Foundation].
2. Emotion
As anyone who has tried to recall the specifics of a particularly nasty quarrel can attest, emotions can wreak havoc on memory. Although it's well known that strong emotions often create especially vivid memories, those memories aren't always accurate [source: Dingfelder].
While studies indicate that all emotions can enhance a person's ability to remember details, negative ones appear to do so to an even greater degree [source: Kensinger]. Happiness tends to cause individuals to record events in broad terms, paying less attention to details, and thus leaving them more likely to commit false memory errors. Anger has the opposite effect, leading people to focus in on events narrowly but remember more specifics [source: Dingfelder].
In one scenario, researchers tested students' ability to recall details after watching the televised verdict of the O. J. Simpson murder trial. Overall, those students who were pleased with the verdict remembered more, but also claimed that more events happened that didn't. The students disappointed in the verdict remembered less, but made fewer errors [source: Dingfelder].
A person's state of mind can also affect the types of memories they're able to recall. Like the rose-colored glasses effect, people who are happy are more likely to remember positive memories, while sad people seem able to think only of bad ones [source: Rupp]. If you've ever struggled to pull yourself out of a bad mood with memories of better times, you've likely stumbled on this trick of selective memory.
1. Inference
If you tend to remember all the cheerleaders from high school as having blonde hair and the football players as being dumb jocks, you may be a victim of inference-based memory error, or bias. These types of false memories often occur in memory reconstruction: Put simply, when we pull out memories with holes in them, we simply patch them up with things that seem to fit. While these makeshift reconstructions are sometimes accurate, they're more often distorted by our current knowledge, feelings and beliefs rather than being true representations.
False memories due to bias usually result from a desire to reduce psychological discomfort by having one's thoughts and memories remain consistent [source: Schacter]. As a result, people tend to rely on inference in a wide variety of situations. Along with the stereotype bias alluded to in the first paragraph, studies show that people also infer they've seen an event's cause when they've really only seen its effect. People will also remember that they felt a particular way in the past that coincides with how they feel in the present, or even that they were worse off many years ago to make themselves feel better about where they are now [source: UniSci].
Upon completing a study skills course, for instance, students remembered their initial study skills as being lower and their later test grades as higher than did students not taking the course [source: Koriat]. In another study, people presented with a list of names supposedly belonging to criminals recently in the media were almost twice as likely to "remember" seeing stereotypically black names as they were other names [source: Schacter].

DEFINITION of 'Reverse Floater'
A floating-rate note in which the coupon rises when the underlying reference rate falls. The floating rate resets with each coupon payment and may have a cap and/or floor. The underlying reference rate is often the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the rate at which banks can borrow funds from other banks in the London interbank market, the most common benchmark for short-term interest rates.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Reverse Floater'
For example, the coupon on a reverse floater may be calculated as: principal*(10%-LIBOR).
Floaters (bonds or other types of debt whose coupon rate changes with short-term interest rates) are also known as "floating-rate debt." Reverse floaters offer guaranteed principal and are an option for investors looking to benefit from falling interest rates.

- Good food, marginal service.KrdooDined on 9/6/2014My wife ordered sushi and was pleased with the amount, presentation and taste. I ordered a drink from the menu and it turned out unavailable. My second drink order took 15 minutes to arrive. My food order of shrimp tempura was not even close to correct (I received a plate of sushi) and we had to wait for my correct food. When it finally arrived it was very good. As Sushi One is the closest sushi restaurant to our house we may try it again, but won't rush to do so.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 21 reviews are from the Sushi One reviews archive.
- Great FoodBetaGuardDined on 7/25/2014Sushi One has outstanding food with several specials which keeps the total bill well within reason. On a Friday night they offered buy one get one free sushi roll and had $6 drink specials - a great bargin. Everyone completely enjoyed their meal. Food service was quick and our waiter did a great job keeping drinks full. I highly recommend Sushi One. We noticed many people sitting outside (it was a nice evening) and inside was very, very quiet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Sushiash2kDined on 7/5/2014the buy one get one free sushi was great. the sushi was fresh and yummy. Service was excellent. will go againSpecial Features:
- Great service even better food!!BergkampgunnerVIPDined on 5/24/2014This place is great no matter what you're looking for. My fiancé always gets the sushi. It is fresh and beautiful in appearance. Extremely tasty… Her favorite spot in Raleigh. I normally get a combination of chicken, rice and/or noodles. All of them are great. You know how some Asian restaurants' chicken doesn't quite look like chicken (mystery shredded meat)? Not here. It's clearly high quality, white breast meat served in chunks so you can tell that it's actually chicken and its tender and wonderful. I can't say enough about this place. We drive-by four or five other sushi places to get here at least once a month and enjoy it every time. Check it out if you haven't!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date NightstizzlessizzleDined on 5/10/2014Enjoyable. Friday night was a BOGO on all sushi as well as $6.00 discounted drinks. Plan on returning with a larger group.Special Features:

- Fresh!HummingbirdVIPDined on 4/27/2014We have eaten at Sushi One multiple times in a little over a year and we are always pleased by the freshness of the sashimi - this visit was no different.Special Features:
- Sushi One is number 1PhilerupDined on 4/12/2014The name says it all.. The sushi was perfect.... The hibachi style dishes were out of this world. I highly recommend the filet mignon... Medium rare of course.Special Features:
- Great Sushi!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/4/2014went here for my girlfriend's birthday. We were unaware it was BOGO on sushi rolls, which is the best kind of surprise to get. The food was magnificent, I almost wanted to order more. Our server (I don't recall his name, but he was a middle-aged asian gentleman) hadn't been there long but was attentive, polite, and friendly. Highly recommended and will be back again for sure.Special Features:
- don't botherLeighVIPDined on 3/30/2014Their rolls had SO MUCH rice that it was hard to find the fish. The sushi is buy one, get one free, so if you'd like to pay half price for half quality food, eat here, you'll be amazed! The place was practically dead at 8pm on a Sunday except for a few tables of adolescent girls using Groupons. The odd waiter offered a box for the large pieces of nori-wrapped rice I'd picked my fish out of. At least he refilled my water constantly.Special Features:
- Repeat DinerSushi356VIPDined on 3/28/2014My wife and I dine often at the Lafayette Village restaurants some are better than others but we hadn't experienced Sushi One until early January. Since then we're been back twice, with friends our last visit, to share this jewel of a restaurant. Whether you're a pure sushi lover or enjoy nigiri Sushi One has excellent choices and interesting combinations. We combine their 2 for 1 sushi rolls as a starter and share a main entrée, my wife is fond of Salmon Lover, as a combination they make a complete evening meal. Quality is equal to Mura's at North Hills and prices might be a bit lower and since Sushi One is only 3 miles from our house it's now our ATF.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Asian food in LafayetteSushiDined on 3/9/2014Service was initially slow. Thomas our waiter apologized for the delay and proceeded to so an excellent job. Good food, good atmosphere, easy to get to. We will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a wonderful findNovaVIPDined on 2/26/2014This was my second time here and it was just as awesome as the first. The chef was great, he prepared the deluxe dish and roll without shell fish. The fish was fresh and nice size pieces. I will be back.Special Features:
- The service was not the greatestcmariecoDined on 2/17/2014The service was not the greatest and we had to ask multiple times for the same item. Also, it took quite a to our food out to us even though the restaurant was not full. I would come back again simply to sit outside as Lafayette village is really cute.Special Features:
- Delicious from beginning to end!AlifabVIPDined on 1/19/2014Very attentive and pleasant service from the owner, waiter and sushi masters. Great gyoza, absolutely delicious filet mignon hibachi and how can you end a meal better than some vanilla fried ice cream... :-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sushi One - Party FriendlybkhigbeeDined on 1/4/2014We had a group of about 16 people and Sush One and staff were able to accommodate us very well. The food was awesome, the staff was friendly, courteous, and timely. Overall a great experience. I do and will be going back. Some of the better sushi in the area. the Pad Tai is one of my favorites also.Special Features:
- QualityBergkampgunnerVIPDined on 12/8/2013My GF is sort of a sushi aficionado and this place has some of the best around. Always well done and friendly people. I enjoy the chicken and the fried rice is really really good (I know it's a small thing but it is noticeably better than most). We have also enjoyed the chicken lettuce wraps (again, the best we have bad) and the crab Rangoon. Depending on what you get it can be a little pricier than your standard Asian food takeout but if you are at the point in your life where QUALITY beats quantity go here. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love Sushi? Here's the place!MissusbDined on 11/6/2013The selection was extensive and even for the non-sushi eaters in our group, there was lots to choose from on the varied menu. This was our first time here but, won't be our last. Server was attentive but, not in your face. Very nice experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice findOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/9/2013My wife and I recently ate here and we will return. While not a 5 star, it is not a 1 star either. We rated it as Better than Most. It is convenient to our home and reasonably priced. We will be back again.Special Features:
- Great date night place!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/1/2013We went on a Thursday night to try out a new place and were very pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was great, very good and friendly service, food was very good and the prices were appropriate. We will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Two sushi rolls at lunch forOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 7/26/2013Two sushi rolls at lunch for $10. One of mine was not rolled at tightly as it could have been, but everything was tasty. I will return when in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceIrishDined on 7/13/2013We had an outstanding experience at Sushi One. The prices were (in my opinion) lower than what we are accustomed to for the level of service and food quality. We enjoyed a couple of the chef's specialties, spring rolls as an appetizer and wine and beer. The atmosphere was relaxing and quiet on a Saturday night, and our waiter was outstanding. I have been there before for lunch and the sushi is very fresh and delicious. Great hidden gem in North Raleigh.Special Features:

You and your friends can also take part by volunteering. Our events can't take place without the hundreds of people who give up their time for a few hours to set up the courses and get everyone in the Race for Life mood. Find out more and register to be a volunteer.
The course
Eglinton Country Park covers an area of 400 acres, meaning as you complete your race you will have the opportunity to enjoy a mixture of habitats as you pass from parkland path, to riverside walkway, woodland and forest, to loch shore. The course has some small inclines and the terrain is mainly managed pathways in compacted stone.
Meeting point
The meeting point is the open Field, near to the visitor's centre.
On the day
With the onsite visitor's centre and the play park, there is something for all of the family to enjoy, so be sure you bring them along to support you and then enjoy a day out afterwards.

Boot F9/F12 (recovery environment or boot menu) - black/dead screen
If I hit F9 or F12 in early BIOS, I get a black screen with an underline cursor in upper left.
In the middle of the screen is a green block and the letter n with a tilde ~ over it.
How long should I wait? It sat there for 15 seconds and no movement. No keyboard or mouse actions can do anything.
I've never tried booting into the RE or Boot menu. But, on occasion when a boot would hang, I would get the DOS-like boot screen that asks if you want to start Widows normally, try safe mode, (all those options), etc.
Booting off DVD into Recovery environment works as expected.
Does this mean my System Reserved partition is whacked?
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
Your spec's say Custom built.
How did you setup your Recovery Partition on the Custom built rig?
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
However, I did completely reinstall Windows 7 within the week that I got the new PC (can't recall why). What are the options for setting the Recovery partition other than size???
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
The Recovery Partition would have been set by CompUsa.
Try the F8 key.
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
If I do a complete Windows 7 install from CD, is there anything in there to set up the System Reserved partition? Ah, I read that the Sys Res partition only gets created if NO partitions exist on the HD. I assume that if one were to completely wipe and repartition during fresh install, then the fresh install would ask for options re: Sys Res partition configuration?
I didn't try F8 as BIOS showed only F9 and F12 (Gigabyte MA-785GM-US2H MB).
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
For CompUsa Recovery Disks, check the CompUsa manual.
For a MS Windows 7 DVD, take a look at this tutorial:
SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
For CompUsa Recovery Disks, check the CompUsa manual.
For a MS Windows 7 DVD, take a look at this tutorial:
SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Are you also saying that even if the BIOS doesn't list F8 to get into winRE, that it is a "standard" across all MB manufacturers??
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
Recovery can be installed if not already there.
You need
1. "winre.wim" in \Windows\System32\winre.wim - if not there search whole disk, all partitions for it.
if not found get "boot.wim" from installation DVD and copy it to path mentioned and rename to winre.wim.
2. On elevated command prompt:
ReagentC /enable
Hope this helps.
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
Having thought more about this, it then would imply that F8 is NOT a BIOS option but a post-BIOS, pre-Win startup option that is really being recognized by Windows?
Also, the Gigabyte manual says F9 is for some driver disk hard drive backup thing (sounds like Gigabyte proprietary).
The F12 is to be able to set which device to boot from without entering the Full BIOS menu.
Either way, you'd think F12 would work.
Here is something quite similar:
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2011
There are keys recognized by BIOS -
1. for entering BIOS setup, and
2. for choosing temporary (one time) boot device.
F8 is standard for advanced recovery options (recognized by bootmgr).
You can set any key as a shortcut to a loader - this is called "bootstrap custom action". This is handled again by bootmgr using data from BCD (boot config data) store.
If interested visit Visual BCD Editor - Windows 7/Vista - look for CustomActions.

Sea levels world-wide are rising as the warming Earth drives thermal expansion of the ocean and global melting of glaciers and ice sheets. Climate experts estimate that by 2100, sea level could rise by around 70 inches and that the frequency, intensity and flood-effects of storms will increase. People in coastal areas, such as here in Marin, need to understand how sea level rise (SLR) may affect their homes, schools, roads, public facilities, natural resources and habitat areas, when these impacts might occur, how they might change over time, and how to prepare for them.
Marin County's "Collaboration: Sea-level Marin Adaptation Response Team" (C-SMART) is an intergovernmental/public-private partnership that is working to develop this understanding so that, while there is still time, we can together become prepared to meet the challenge of sea level rise. Please use this page to learn about, join, and contribute to this effort. If you'd like additional information, please call us at (415) 473-4331 or send an email to the Sea Level Rise Planner.
Sign up to receive email updates and learn about upcoming events. Share your ideas about sea level rise impacts and resilience strategies through the C-SMART project.
See the latest news about upcoming C-SMART meetings on sea level rise in Marin County. Keep up with the process as we assess potential effects of sea level rise and develop response strategies.
Check here to view C-SMART organizational materials, working documents, schedules, FAQs, and other reports as they are developed.
In confronting sea level rise, Marin is in the same boat as other coastal regions of the country, and around the world. See what others are learning about sea level rise, and what efforts they are making to address this threat.

Special Teams
Water Rescue
Response Craft
A team of fire fighters obtained a military surplus boat in 1994. Fire fighters literally designed, constructed, retrofitted, and equipped the boat for service. The watercraft has responded to hundreds of calls for assistance since inception in the spring of 1994. The teams from station two offer a wide array of services ranging from safety patrol around the dike during major holidays, boat and passenger recovery, emergency medical services, and water\boating safety. Personnel are certified in water rescue, boat safety, and maritime rescue techniques. The water rescue craft was used during extreme flooding in the Conroe area in the fall of 1994 rescuing two hundred people in a forty-eight period and again in the greater Houston area in 1998 during extreme flooding. A second boat was donated by the Busbee family in 1999 to replace the original craft described above which is now in reserve. In 2001, the department purchased 24' Zodiac Boat and is currently in service.
Hazardous Materials
Response Team
The department in cooperation with FEMA certified all fire fighters in hazardous materials response capability over a two year period. Many members are now certified at the Technical level, which is the highest degree of certification for response teams. Our program and its coordinators have achieved national recognition by FEMA. A newly purchased 24' trailer was retrofitted and equipped by volunteers for response and mitigation of all Haz-Mat incidents in our jurisdiction. On board computers are available for technical data of chemicals and materials and for instant "plume modeling" in the event of chemical releases. T.C.F.D. HazMat Team provides response services countywide through mutual aid agreements and cooperative agreements with the Galveston County Health Office and County Fire Fighters Association.
High Angle
Rescue/Confined Space Rescue Team
The department trained and certified a confined space and high angle rescue response team on each shift in 1994. These individuals are trained and equipped at the highest level possible in all areas of intricate rescue techniques and hazardous materials environments. They provide rescue of individuals trapped in vessels, tanks, towers, processing units, and other confined areas throughout Texas City, especially within the industrial zone. A number of highly complex and sophisticated rescues of industrial workers have been accomplished by this team since inception.
At the suggestion of Mayor Doyle, T.C.F.D. created a well-trained processional Honor Guard squad that has been used for numerous events in Texas City and throughout Galveston County. The Honor Guard provides the finishing touch and civic pride curing ceremonial functions.

Keeping Turkey away from regional chaos is priority
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
KIRKLARELI - Our first priority is keeping Turkey away from regional developments, which are under threat from radical organizations in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said on Wednesday.
In a speech in the Kirklareli province, Gul reiterated Turkey's concern over the developments in Iraq which started on June 10 after the hardline Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) seized Mosul, Iraq's second biggest city.
"Our first priority is to provide security in our country, and secondly is our effort to overcome regional conflicts," Gul said.
Militants linked with ISIL, abducted 49 people from the Turkish consulate in the flashpoint city of Mosul on June 11, one day after seizing 31 Turkish lorry drivers.
ISIL, who already controls of parts of Syria, has extended its reach into Iraq since June 10, when it seized the country's second-largest city Mosul and soon afterwards took near-complete control of the city of Tikrit.

I've had my own opinion of Planet Fitness ever since they've stressed their gym is a "judgment free zone"…personally I am not a fan of the franchise because they are the most judged gym around. Always stereotyping people who love fitness and who love to work out. God forbid we have muscles and wear a muscle tee to the gym to lift. I've read a lot of stories about Planet Fitness being judgmental and kicking people out because other people complained, but I've never been this mind boggled before. Customers complained about a pregnant woman's stomach peeking out while working out at Planet Fitness. She said she goes to the gym to feel better about herself and to keep her body in shape while pregnant (GO GIRL) and was appalled how the "judgment free zone" gym completely judged her and kicked her out. DISGUSTING. Shame on you Planet Fitness. Your way of life at the gym and your whole concept is awful. Learn how to run a real gym facility that doesn't stereotype and discriminate and then maybe you won't have so many complaints. Tell me your thoughts after reading!
Boycott lol
A power lifter friend of mine went into one in chicago (he also works for the city) and asked to use the rest room… the manager allowed him to do so but escorted him the "back way" because the manager told him he was to "big" to work out there and that he would intimidate the patrons of the gym. However my friend is an amazing athlete and a. Smartass walked right threw the gym and all the people with a huge smirk on his face telling the manager he demanded pizza… the manager said they had no pizza and handed him a hand full of candy, however it was completely obscure!
That's why I don't go to planet fitness blinks fitness is one of the best…In her case planet fitness is stupid at the end she is paying her member ship prego or not..ppl should mind their business of wat ppl wear or wat they do pathetic fucker..
As someone who has struggled with weight issues since having her babies, I can officially say it's been a fun road going back to the gym, except for trying to find a gym to go to. I looked at planet fitness to seeif it worked for me and from the very first moment I checked it out it felt wrong. I'm not skinny nor in shape. That's the reason I'm going to the gym in the first place right. Just the disgusted looks I got from the personnel was enough to tell me "aw hell no" and I left. I found my city owned gym and it's been nothing but nice people, decent equipment and overall not bad for it being just a local gym. People shouldn't judge those of us who are at least willing to try to better ourselves and to be 6ft tall is no easy task to get into that kind of shape street being out of it for so long.
I went to a planet fitness with my friend once, and I am in no means in shape and or toned. Naturally I am built small but all of it jiggles. I got super hot after only being able to run for like 10 minutes. Weighing like 120 I'm not large but I don't ever work out. I went and did some ab work outs and what not with a group of girls, I later took my shirt off and was in just a sports bra which at any other gym is totally acceptable. I may not have toned anything but I am confortable in my own skin, apparently someone who wasn't felt like I was being disrespectful to people that felt like they couldn't walk around in a sports bra, I have been larger since then and still am and I just don't care what people think I wear what I want always. But the manager came out and told me that if I didn't put my shirt on immediately I would be kicked out, asked to leave per say. I asked why and they said that due to my smaller frame at the time and the fact that I was confortable like that I was making other gym members feel self conscious and bad about themselves. What does that teach anyone? No matter how you look you should be comfortable in your own skin, and if you're not why wouldn't you root for someone that genuinely is?! Ughh.
Back in the day I interviewed for a position at a Planet Fitness in my area. I did not get the job. Sadly, the reason I was given that I didn't get the position was that I was overly qualified and that my fitness level would be intimidating to there customer base. Years of experience as a trainer and a gym manager and they went with an out of shape lady who admittedly had, and I quote her, "been to a gym some when she was younger". Their business model is to get as many customers as possible that will not come to the gym, so they go after the crowd that will sign up and maybe go to the gym for a week or so. They want you to pay and stay home, so they shun people involved in fitness because they know those people will come daily and use the facilities, which would equate into an overcrowded gym and that hurts their bottom line. That is the truth. They say it's a judgement free zone, but all they do as a business is judge individuals lifestyles and blatantly run adds on TV promoting their discrimination towards anyone who lives a fitness lifestyle. Honestly, I'm surprised that they don't get sued ALL THE TIME.
They are Terrible Brad!!
I defiantly agree with you that's bull!! and just Disgusting. it's a shame some people have to be like that.
Plant of No Fitness. What they want are out of shape people who stop coming to the gym after a couple of weeks of signing up! Their goal is to make as much money as possible without actually having to do anything for it. They don't want people who might actually use the facility as members! They want the people who maybe come once a month or not at all and then go around complaining about how they belong to a gym and workout, but still can't lose weight! It's a sick business model! Planet Fitness are complete enablers of unhealthy lifestyles and mindsets!
I have worked for several corporate clubs over the years..planet fitness is one of the worst! This young woman looks fabulous and should be the poster for pregnant women..she was in shape before..will go back to better shape after! If PF would follow her lead instead of putting her out, they would be better off! They have pending suits due to their dress code..very poor company! The overweight people have things Hangin'all over! Health clubs are there for a reason..to assist people to their optimal health/fitness. If pregnant women would even go to the gym..before and after..that's a start!
I must agree with you. That's disgusting I would be baffled!
I love Body Renew!
was she kicked out because she was pregnant or was it because of what she was wearing?
I think that its a little more to the story personally I think that maybe she was over doing her workout and they asked her either cool down or leave but that's just my thoughts……
Sorry but not everyone wants to see that. I'm a mom and just because something is natural doesn't mean u should show it. I like to keep my food in my stomach not on floor sorry a pregnant belly just showing is not something I want to see while working out. As for dressing less well its a gym not a club, I have a body but when I go to the gym its to work out, I wear lose clothes and no make up on. Anyone who is serious about working out isn't worried about looking good while do it. If u don't like it there are other gyms
I haven't had a problem at my planet fitness. The one I attend to, everyone is basically focused on them selves. But that's wrong. I mean I get it some people might think it's dangerous for a pregnant women to be working out, but she could do slight workouts. But the fact that that's not even the issue. She's pregnant, so what if she's showing off her little belly bump? The fact that people were more conserned about her attire than the safety of the baby (not saying the baby was In danger or anything). I find that to be a bit odd.

Help us put scientific papers on the map—of Mars!
Here at NASA Ames, we're working with Google, Inc., and the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System to get scientific papers geo-located on Mars. Although we'll start with explicitly geo-locating a few, we want to enable a system so that the scientific community itself can add geo-location information to already-published works, and encourage future publications to include easier to parse geo-location information.
Lots of blogs (here and here) and news outlets have covered some of the great new Mars features in Google Earth. I will assume that you have read those blogs, watched various demonstration videos, or even watched some of the Guided Tours available in the Google Earth client itself. I will most certainly assume that you have at least taken a cursory spin around the Mars in Google Earth (we refer to it as Google Mars internally—at Ames and Google—but since that has meant the 2D Google Maps API Mars maps for so long, I don't want to confuse people).
For the discerning visitor I present a number of little perks that you might not notice. Mars in Google Earth is primarily targeted at a general public audience, but we've also slipped in some pretty cool extras (if I do say so myself) for scientists and advanced explorers alike.
HiRISE images are huge, frequently 1.5 GB, and they are in JPEG 2000 format, which many image software programs don't (yet) handle. So what do you do if you need to work with just a small area of that image at high resolution? This post explains how to get that subframe.
Although there are many issues with putting Mars data into Google Earth, most notably the fact that the best we can currently do is wrap the Earth's sphere in Mars basemaps. However, we can make Google Earth a remarkable tool for locating Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) data by being a little clever.
The steps below outline how to configure Google Earth with Martian basemaps, and then how to plot data from the MRO mission.
Hi. Has anyone successfully imported MOC images into GMT using grdraster? I have been working on this for over a week, and I (as well as several others helping me) have had no luck. Some issues:
1. Should the MOC images, processed with ISIS, be map projected or not? Altered with mocaspect?
2. What files are acceptable as input to grdraster? I found online that .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .tif, and .wbmp are raster images. I am only able to get my files into .tif, .raw, or .bmp files (ISIS2 dform and ISIS3 isis2std aren't working properly on the machines I use). I have not managed to get any of these data types into GMT (problems with -I (increment) and/or data type definitions in grdraster.info file).
Hi. I am looking into doing point photoclinometry for certain regions of Mars. I know how to process MOC images with ISIS, but does anyone know how to get the raw DN values of each pixel? Also, has anyone used SOCET SET to make stereo images?
I want to find a specific MOC image on the PDS http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/. I do a "Data Search", select Instrument "Mars Oribiter Camera", click "Go!", and get two results. But where do I go from there?
I am using ISIS2 and qview to look at processed MOC cubes. When I try to use the qview measure tool, one end of the measuring line is always trapped in the upper left hand corner. Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a way to fix this?
Not quite sure where to start with data from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft? This article contains links to the raw data, and also links to the various software tools that members of the community have created to analyze the data itself.
How do I get science-quality MOC images from a press release image I like? For example, I want to use this press release image:
The numbering systems seem totally different though, so I don't know how to find that image in the data at:
