The key for this beer is to mash no higher than 152, so it attenuates well. The balance of hops/malt is key. The water profile used here was very good, balanced, with low alkalinity, and the beer is clear with so4. Control fermentation temperatures to minimize fruity esters, or use s05 if warmer. If underattenuation is a problem for you, use Wyeast 1056, or WLP001 which is "clean" and attenuates better than S04.
This beer is a hopped up amber- but with the willamette and cascade combo it's not as aggressive as some hoppy beers can be. I've made it several times, and like the clarity with the S04 but it needs cooler temps or it can get estery. S05 works well with this beer, but needs more time to clear than S04. If unable to keep fermentation temperatures under 64 degrees, I think S05 would be a better choice!
We like this beer alot- and it's now a house standard. I got willamette at $6 a pound, so wanted to use it in something that I can enjoy 10 gallons of. This is it!
Sounds delishy. Nice use of Williamette, one of my faves. I fish the Williamette river here in Oregon all the time. Ill brew this to kick off the bass fishing season. Thanks Yooper!
Nice looking recipe Yooper. I have a pound of Willamette just waiting to be brewed!
Care to tease us with a pic of a pint?
Fall Line Brewing Company
Keg 1 - German Pils
Keg 2 - Falconer's Flight IPA
Keg 3 - Chocolate Porter
Any tips on converting this to a 5 gal extract batch. I just picked up a bunch of local gown willametts and cascades and this sounds perfect. Thanks
Thanks Yooper I can't Wait to brew this. One more question, do I keep the hop amounts as well as the schedule the same. Also thanx so much for the extract conversion as I am a noob ant this will be my first non kit batch. Are the dry hops added together for the last 7 days ?
I've seen several recipe lately that call for Williamette and this thread helped finally make my mind up. I just put in an order at Hops Direct and included a pound of 'em so this recipe's definitely on the list.
I like a little more beer in my beer.
brewed this up today (with extract ) and nailed the O.G. and now time to wait. Thanks again yooper !

3 Surefire Ways to Fall Asleep
Prevent these obstacles from standing between you and heart-healthy shut-eye
By Sara Reistad-Long
Sleep Stealer: It's 11 P.M., but you're just not tired.
Eat a bedtime snack
Your metabolism has to slow for your body to wind down. Snack on calming foods—low-protein, high-carbohydrate—about 90 minutes before going to sleep. Try:
¼ cup lowfat ice cream topped with ½ banana
½ bowl of oatmeal with sliced mango
1 slice of whole-wheat toast with 1 tsp whipped butter and a handful of grapes

Tiger Woods wins The Players Championship by 2 strokes | Golf
Top-ranked Tiger Woods won The Players Championship, his fourth PGA Tour victory in seven starts this year.
The New York Times
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — As The Players Championship wound down Sunday, there were as many compelling stories on the leaderboard as there were golf balls in the water surrounding the tournament's signature hole, the par-3 17th.
Those who held at least a share of the final-round lead included Jeff Maggert, a 49-year-old trying to win his fourth PGA Tour event in his 586th start, and David Lingmerth, who was poised to win his first Tour event in his 13th start. There were sparring partners, Sergio Garcia and top-ranked Tiger Woods, who were separated for the fourth round but tied with two holes to play.
By the end of the day, the great stories had fallen away and the greatest player stood alone. Woods, summoning the kind of steely golf that eluded his closest competitors down the stretch, won for the fourth time in seven starts this year. On a warm, breezy day, he carded a 2-under-par 70 for a 72-hole total of 13-under 275, two strokes better than Maggert (70), Lingmerth (72) and Kevin Streelman (67).
"Am I surprised?" the 37-year-old Woods said during a news conference. "No. I know a lot of people in this room thought I was done. But I'm not."
The victory, Woods' 78th on the Tour, came in his first start since the Masters, where he received a controversial reprieve wrapped in a two-stroke penalty from the Augusta National rules committee a day after taking an improper drop during his second round. The incident cast a shadow so long it darkened his round Sunday.
On the par-4 14th hole at TPC Sawgrass, Woods hooked his tee shot into the water. He took a drop that was questioned by NBC announcer Johnny Miller, a winner of two majors.
Woods' playing partner, Casey Wittenberg, had the best view of the flight of Woods' ball. "I told him exactly where I thought it crossed," Wittenberg said, "and we all agreed, so he's definitely great on that."
Mark Russell, a Tour rules official, concurred.
Woods atoned for his bad drive at No. 14 with the kind of precise shotmaking Pete Dye had in mind when he designed the course. Woods made the victory in an event sometimes called the "fifth major" look easy, no small feat on a layout that has given him trouble — though he also won here in 2001.
"It was fast and difficult," Woods said of the course conditions, "and I hit it so good today, it was fun."
Woods' path to the award ceremony was cleared when Lingmerth missed a 73-foot birdie attempt at the last hole (and then missed the comebacker) and Maggert and Garcia plunked their tee shots in the water at No. 17.
Garcia, who came to the hole tied for the lead with Woods at 13 under, deposited two shots in the water, both landing in the same general spot, and walked off the green with a quadruple-bogey 7. Garcia (76) made a double bogey at the last hole to finish in a seven-way tie for eighth.
"I just underhit it a little bit," said Garcia, referring to the first water ball. "I felt, with a little bit of adrenaline and stuff, I didn't want to shoot it over the green."
Woods birdied No. 16 and hit turf instead of water from the tee on the last two holes, leading to pars. He earned $1.71 million for the victory.
Kyle Stanley (74) of Gig Harbor tied for 33rd place at 3 under.
Lingmerth's biggest break of the fourth round might have come when he was paired with Garcia in the final group instead of Woods. They were co-leaders after completing 54 holes in 11 under early Sunday morning.
Playing with Woods, who draws large, rowdy galleries, is akin to trying to hit a golf ball on an airport tarmac while planes are taking off. In Woods' three previous victories this year, none of the players in his fourth-round, final-group pairings broke par. Wittenberg continued the trend with a 75.
Some people theorize players try too hard to show Woods they are not just another face in the field. Brandt Snedeker, the reigning FedEx Cup champion, had another explanation.
"I just think it's tough being in the final group with Tiger just because there is a lot more attention on you," he said. "But on top of that, we're playing very tough golf courses in very tough conditions."
Garcia, who posted a 72 in the third round to Woods' 71, has not fared well in their pairings. In 20 head-to-head meetings, he has posted the better score three times (four times they have tied). The chilliness between them Saturday was more unpleasant than the searing humidity. Woods pulled a wood out of his club on the second hole Saturday, setting off cheers, as Garcia was hitting his approach.
In interviews Sunday after the third round, Garcia wore his spleen on his sleeve.
"I'm not going to lie," he said of Woods. "He's not my favorite guy to play with. He's not the nicest guy on Tour."
In a Golf Channel interview, Garcia said, "We don't enjoy each other's company. You don't need to be a rocket engineer to figure that out."
|Tiger Woods this season
|Sunday marked Woods' 78th PGA Tour win. Sam Snead had a record 82 career victories, but Snead didn't win his 78th Tour event until he was 46 years old. Woods is 37.

StriVectin claims you won't be disappointed if you purchase this moisturizer with the goal of lifting facial contours. Looking past the fact that StriVectin's parent has launched numerous products that make outlandish, impossible claims (remember the "Works Like Botox?" ads, which no product can do and that was challenged by the FDA with warning letters?), this moisturizer can't help but be disappointing. Nothing in the formula is capable of lifting skin, improving a sagging jawline, or even ameliorating those bothersome "ear wrinkles" the company refers to in the claims. This moisturizer contains some helpful ingredients (though nowhere near the amount your skin deserves), but the few antioxidants won't remain potent for long due to the jar packaging. Just in case you have dry skin and are still considering this, please know that it contains an oriental plant extract (Anemarrhenae asphodeloides) that has proven to be phototoxic (Source: Journal of Ethnopharmacology, January 2010, pages 11–18) and offers no benefit to skin. This also contains a form of resorcinol that increases the irritant potential. In short, there's no compelling reason to consider this moisturizer over several others with far more beneficial ingredients that are proven to make a difference in aging skin, although not sagging, which can't be changed with any skin-care product. If sagging or lost facial contours are your chief concern, those can be successfully remedied only with cosmetic surgery or cosmetic corrective procedures.
Not only with StriVectin's New Instant Facial Sculpting Cream reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crows' feet, but it also accentuates your cheekbones and jawline as it visibly lifts, tightens & tines your skin…making your face look more sculpted, youthful & defined. It even reduces the appearance of "ear wrinkles…those nasty little lines in front of your ears (you know, the wrinkles you ignore but everyone else get to see). So if you want to transform your entire facial contour, get StriVectin's NEW instant Facial Sculpting Cream. You won't be disappointed.

We had previously written about the original StriVectin-SD, when a reader asked about its ability to repair stretch marks. That was StriVectin's initial claim to fame, though the fame was all self-promoted, as there is not a single independent, peer-reviewed study to prove that StriVectin is an effective option for repairing stretch marks. The studies that do exist about StriVectin's benefits for stretch marks were paid for by Klein-Becker, the company that distributes StriVectin (and is associated with Bremenn Research Labs, which has a growing history of trouble with the FDA and various watchdog advertising organizations).
According to the company's ads, they were surprised to find that not only was StriVectin-SD getting rid of women's stretch marks, but also that somehow their facial wrinkles were going away, too. This discovery lead to the astounding "antiwrinkle breakthrough of the decade." What followed were the now-famous magazine ads that posed the question of whether StriVectin was "Better Than Botox?" Not surprisingly, this ad captured the attention of millions of people concerned with mitigating signs of aging "without painful injections".
Regrettably, no supportive research needs to be available to sell this kind of hyperbole. All it takes is to promise women that a product will get rid of their wrinkles and they will buy it in droves, no matter how many other product lines, infomercials, advertisements, or cosmetics salespeople pledge the exact same thing. StriVectin isn't and was never "better than Botox"!
Of course, now the original, lauded StriVectin-SD product has been replaced by what the company describes as a "super-charged comprehensive skin repair cream for stretch marks, wrinkles, and aging skin". It seems there's no aging skin concern this product cannot address, but as it turns out, the updated formula presents the same drawbacks as the original, although it is arguably a better formulation (just not for stretch marks).
As for the rest of the StriVectin line, it contains proportionately more misses than hits. It isn't the anti-wrinkle answer and in fact some of their products contain the type of irritating ingredients that hurt your skin's ability to look and function in a younger manner.

Helio unveils super-thin Fin flip phone
Helio dropped a bomb on us today, following up on their awesome Ocean double-slider with a new, super-thin flip phone dubbed the Fin. The slick, magnesium-cased phone features a 3-megapixel digital camera, GPS, 3G Web access, and 100 MB of internal memory, expandable by a microSD card.
In addition to it being the thinnest flip phone in the States at a mere 11.4mm (about half an inch) thick, it's the first Helio to feature turn-by-turn directions by Garmin. The only catch: you've got to rent that feature for a whopping $3 a day. But hey, if you just want to use it once in a while, that isn't too bad, but it's clearly not something you'll want to replace your in-car navigation system. It's available immediately for $175 with contract.

Remscheid/ Rotte...
first I will say that I am not 100% happy how this project came out. It began with drawing the pattern, especialy the collar becaus of the asymnetry. But I am glad that the waistcoat is finsh and it is wearable. The fabric I foud in my mother's closet where it has been waiing for about 30 years to become a garment. So it's realy vintage! It's a high quality woolen tweed and it was nearly 4 meters. So I have enought fabric left to make a maching paar of pants. A jacket in a red-bown colour is already cut, but I have no time to do it at the moment.
I made the bias binding with the fabric for the jacket. Linning is sewed by hand. Bronze buttons.

According to the chart, 70 percent of all Facebook activity is based around photographs, 26 photos are uploaded every second to Instagram, and photos make up 42 percent of all posts on tumblr.
Check it out: "Before mobile photo apps, photography was in quite a decline. The mobile photo app has revolutionized photography as we know it."

Dan Quigley will be disciplined by King's Lynn Town after his failure to arrive in the Midlands on Saturday as the Linnets went down to their biggest defeat of the season.
King's Lynn Town manager Gary Setchell praised his 10-man side's 'togetherness' after they twice came from behind to snatch a point.
Gary Setchell wants his players to use their FA Trophy frustrations as fuel to spark a red-hot league response.
It was what Gary Setchell refused to say that spoke volumes after King's Lynn Town's narrow FA Trophy defeat.

Worst Experience Buying on the Internet?
What is your worst experience ever buying on the Internet???
Here is mine and the vendor was eCampus.com:
... a long... long time ago (2 years ago)...
1. I bought a book for $200 that was listed "In Stock; Ships Next Day" & paid for 2-day shipping. Great!
2. Four (4) days later not shipped,... I called and was told that it is 2-day shipping AFTER they ship it... that the book is not currently listed in stock...
3. I explained it was not only listed "In Stock," but it is STILL listed as "In Stock; Ships Next Day" on the website, which means they are selling books they do not even have.
4. Told them to cancel my order; since, they obviously don't have what they sold me!!
5. They told me there would be a Restocking Fee for the book... to which I responded, "you can't restock something you never had nor shipped."
6. They agreed to cancel and refund my order.
7. Three (3) business days later no refund to credit card... Called and told to wait up to a week for the refund to post... Day 7 NO REFUND...
8. Called back and told that although my order was canceled they got the book and shipped it to me and that after I get it to send it back and I would get a refund LESS the restocking fee. WTF? It was Cancelled... Why are they sending it!!! Arrrhh!
9. Got the book via Ground Shipping (See above I paid 2-nd day)!!
10. Contacted them and told to ship it back... I demanded and they provided free return label told they would waive Restocking fee.
11. I shipped it and added Signature Confirmation, which was a good thing because when I called 3 days after they got it back they claim they NEVER got the book!!! -> Until I pointed out they signed for it... They found it quick (Imagine that)!
12. Then they told me that book isn't eligible for a buy-back and they don't want it. Um... This was a RETURN still shirk wrapped NOT a buy-back! They said that it is my book and the best they can do is return the book to me if I pay return shipping. Hugh???
13. At this point, I figured I would pay them the $10 to ship it back to me and just sell it new on half.com for maybe $149 and just move on because I was irritated..., so I agreed and the $10.
14. Another week and I didn't get it back... Called in and it turns out they sold the NEW (still shrink wrapped) book I returned to another buyer and didn't have it anymore and still kept the extra $10 I sent them to ship it back to me. Effectively they sold the same $200 book to two people. (Makes me wonder if the other person wasn't waiting two weeks and complaining too...)
15. Called in again and they said all shipping fees are unrefundable..., but as a one-time-courtesy they could go against their policy and they offered me $40.
16. I contacted my credit card company and got a full $200 refund after reporting fraud... and disputed their $10 too.
^^^ No doubt the worst company I ever dealt with... and I bought from at least 40+ websites with only occasional, minor problems that quickly got resolved.
Okay, so I was buying a book today and saw eCampus had it for the least amount of money... but I didn't buy from them. Still, it made me think to check their reviews and see if they are doing any better.
Well, to my sock and chagrin, they have 7.8/10 on Reseller Ratings!
Well, this can't be! No company that operates like that could possibly be getting these good reviews could they?
I did a little muck raking to turn up some "dirt" and found shenanigans:
1. The vast majority of their reviews are either 1 star or 5 star reviews.
2. They have an average of 1 to 3 reviews per month except January with around 228ish
3. Virtually ALL reviews before December 27th, 2011 and AFTER Janurary are 1 star.
4. They have the same writing style, too!!
Let's examine their "Ratings History":
^^^ Wow virtually 100x more reviews in January than ANY other prior month except December which has 20ish (most of which started to be 5 star reviews December 27th)
What do you think? Are they cooking the books and perpetuating Rating Fraud now too?
I filed an abuse report with Reseller Ratings asking them to investigate and look a the writing style, IP address spread, see if they are from the same ISP block etc... and pointed out that they sell Globally and all across the U.S.A., so there so if they examine the IP addresses for their geographical location they shouldn't all be in one place...
Wow, you are a more patient person then me. I would have disputed it at 12! Of course I don't have a lot of patience for vendors. I bend over backwards to make sure my customers are happy, I sorta expect the same from my vendors. I guess I'm lucky, I have never really had an experience that bad.

Megabuy suck
Megabuy are freaking horrible to deal with. Megabuy Australia. Horrible.
Ok so thats the keywords done. Hopefully this will show up in google if anyone searches for Megabuy
Details here if anyone's interested to read about Megabuy's practices.
Note that there are approximately 2000 posts on Whirlpool about MEGABUY. Unfortunately I was not aware of the threads before I was stupid enough to purchase from Megabuy.
Megabuy are epically bad. Oz consumers, you have been warned.

I havnt had any yet, though I only trust certain ones.
scorptec (my work uses these guys)
pccasegear (quick and reliable service
ebay (never been ripped)
warcom (rarely use but have been prompt and good service)
nile (for books, quick delivery)
I tend to do a lot of research (quite OCD really). Though I need to nearlly want to know, every detail about the company/seller before I hand over my hard earned.
Byte-Able Solutions
The worst experience I had with online is the site called charge.com. I signed up for their deal to handle charge cards and they started racking my bank account. I approached my bank and they wouldnt help me. I tried cancelling and got the run around. I tried everything contacted BBB (waste of time) and FTC. I even made plans to start an internet campaign against them.
Finally after months of fighting I got ahold of the Flordia attorney general and low and behold a few days later my account was cancelled. Still lost money though.
What they do is pay people or do their own reviews to look good. Once they get you its hard to get them out of your hair. Lots of posts about this. They also are not truthful in what they tell you. Lesson learned.
My worst experience buying on the Internet happend when I bought small shoes. I was destroyed.

NEWPORT CENTER – Fire officials are crediting the owners of Guay General Repair in Newport Center for saving their own property from disaster Monday. Firefighters responded to the business on Route 100 at about 12:30 p.m.
Dan Guay said that he used fire extinguishers and a high pressure washer to knock down the fire.
"They did a really good knock down," said Newport Center Fire Chief Kurk Flynn, who was also referring to Dan's brother, Ben Guay. "When we got there, we still had fire but it was hidden on us. We had to cut into the roof to get up into the attic area. It was kind of a tricky fire."
For more about the fire, read Tuesday's edition of The Newport Daily Express for Jan. 29, 2013.

Award winner highlighted - Kaycee Wilson
By Lew Cox
(Another Winner to be highlighted in next issue )
As you know, a high point in the year's events for Student Chapters is the Student Technical Paper Competition. South Central IIE members know the paper taking first place at the Region 5 Student Conference in Stillwater hosted by Oklahoma State University in February was "Balancing the Flow of a Multi-Pallet Process," by Tobi Olusola and Kaycee Wilson from the University of Oklahoma.
Those who were unable to attend the Reno Annual Conference may not know that Kaycee Wilson's presentation of their paper also took third place in the IIE national competition. Kaycee is working at Halliburton this summer, but will be back at the University of Oklahoma in the fall to finish her M.S. degree. Upon completion of her M.S., she will decide where to pursue a Ph.D., as one of the select few Industrial Engineers to be awarded an NSF Graduate Fellowship this year. The above facts beg two comments: (1) Kudos and congratulations go to Kaycee, both on the paper presentation award and the NSF Graduate Fellowship, and (2) IE Ph.D.-awarding institutions should perhaps be doing some pointed student recruiting of OU IE students.
Most excellent, Kaycee, most excellent!

IE jobs and majors, a great disconnect, and dancing in the rain
By Lew Cox
CNN Money on April 8, 2011, reported on a survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers. The list of the top ten top-paying degrees for the class of 2011 was pretty closely packed. All 10 were in engineering, engineering technology, or information technology-related fields. More specifically, six were engineering majors, one was engineering technology, and three were computer system-related. Prominent among these top 10 was the major, "industrial engineering." Overall job offers for engineering majors averaged approximately 20 percent higher than the average salary across all majors, according to the CNN article.
Another article from the Youngstown Business Journal on April 14 reported on the Spring 2011 Job Expo held at Youngstown State University. The Journal noted, "While employment opportunities were up across the board, 'the event was a particularly target-rich environment for engineering majors...'"

Probability and the forest and the trees syndrome
As an industrial engineer, you have had more than a casual introduction to probability theory. Probability is a powerful tool in allowing IEs to make calculations that help to glean information that can be used in making intelligent decisions. Knowledge of, and a healthy interest in, the theories and formulas of probability is a good characteristic of industrial engineers, not only on the job but also in decisions of daily life. In most industrial engineering jobs, probabilities rear their head, since they are an integral part of quality issues, design, inventory, and indeed, of every other part of an IE's job. Full article

Keep your IE Swagger stick polished
The use of the term "Swagger Stick" has fallen into disuse, if not disrepute. Basically, a swagger stick is some kind of a decorative or useful stick that is shorter than a cane and in past days was usually carried by a uniformed person as a symbol of authority and/or an implement to mete out punishment. Afficionados of old television shows will remember the swagger stick and monocle that were affectations of Colonel Klink of "Hogan's Heroes." In general, over time from the Roman army to present day, a swagger stick is a short stick, perhaps decorated on the head, that is carried as a symbol of rank. The definition of the term is sometimes broadened to refer to whatever it is about a person that defines him or her as someone in charge, or of high rank.

Great location for me - 10 minutes from Durham College, shopping centre, and very easy access from Highway 401. I stayed in the 'blue room' - very comfortable, clean, nice ensuite, and very quiet. The owner, Rob, is very friendly and kind and I would definitely stay there again.

Objet Showcases 3D Printed LEGO® Minifigures and Bricks at LEGO World 2012
Objet24 Desktop 3D Printers to demonstrate the creation of LEGO® prototypes
RHEINMUENSTER, Germany, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Objet Ltd., the innovation leader in 3D printing for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing, has been invited to feature at LEGO® World 2012, 16th - 19th February, Bella Center, Copenhagen. The event will highlight the combination of LEGO design and innovative technologies such as 3D printing, with Objet showcasing the exceptional abilities of Objet Desktop 3D Printers to create true-to-life LEGO prototypes.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120216/NE54344 )
Objet will demonstrate how 3D technology is used in the design stage of LEGO products to create prototypes of LEGO elements, exhibiting printed samples including LEGO Minifigures and LEGO bricks. Presenting the development process; from the original design computer CAD file, through the 3D printing process and to-scale examples of the final result.
Kenneth Wested Laursen, Head of the LEGO Prototyping Department, comments on the process, "The LEGO brick is born digital on a computer as a CAD drawing and is converted into a physical brick during the manufacturing processes. The Objet 3D printer is a critical component in the LEGO development phase. It helps us in getting physical elements for checking the design, build-ability and functionality at a very early point in production."
Objet 3D printing technology is used to communicate a product's visual and functional properties to customers, decision makers and manufacturers early on in the product development stage, enabling significant savings in time, costs and detection of necessary improvements.
LEGO World, held every year in Copenhagen, gives children and adults the opportunity to learn, create and play with LEGO bricks. This year, a special stand highlights the digital technologies that are used to develop the end product, providing the chance to experience all the processes which contribute to the diverse LEGO experience.
Objet's affordable, high-quality 3D printers use patented inkjet-based technology to jet ultra-thin layers of photopolymer materials onto the build tray where each layer is cured with UV light. The process delivers models which can be handled immediately, with exceptional accuracy and allowing any geometry, including thin walls, overhangs and even moveable parts. Desktop printers such as the Objet24 means no more dependency on outsourced providers, rapidly printing what is needed in-house, multiple times, with ultra-precision details for many global companies.
Objet will be exhibiting in the Intel area (020) at LEGO World 2012 16th - 19th February with two Objet24 Desktop 3D Printers and informative videos alongside a large display of prototypes.

Public Health News Roundup: February 5
New Report Widens Information on Veteran Suicide
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has released a comprehensive report on Veterans who die by suicide—include veterans who had not sought VA health care services. Previous reports included information only on those who had sought those services. The VA has recently implemented broader suicide prevention initiatives, including a toll-free Veterans Crisis Line; placement of suicide prevention coordinators at all VA medical centers and large outpatient facilities; and improvements in case management and reporting. Immediate help for veterans is available at www.VeteransCrisisLine.net or by calling the Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255 (push 1) or texting 838255. Read more on military.
FDA Approves Generic Version for Cancer Drug Doxil in Short Supply
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first generic version of widely used cancer drug Doxil (doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injection). This approval is critical because the drug is currently on the FDA's drug shortage list. The agency is using a priority review system to expedite the review of generic applications to help stem shortages. Doxil is used for several cancers, including ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. Read more on prescription drugs.
Stroke Victims Need Therapy Within 60 Minutes of Hospital Arrival
People having an ischemic stroke should receive clot-dissolving therapy within 60 minutes of arriving at the hospital, according to new American Stroke Association guidelines published in the journal Stroke. Ischemic stroke, which accounts for nine in 10 strokes, is caused by a blood clot in the arteries leading to the brain. According to the American Heart Association, calling 9-1-1 immediately after recognizing any of the warning signs of stroke—and getting to a stroke center as fast as possible—are critical steps for optimal stroke care. That's because during an acute stroke, physicians must quickly evaluate and diagnose patients to determine whether they are eligible to receive the clot-dissolving drug recombinant tissue plasminogen activator which has to be given within hours of symptom starting.
Other new changes to stroke guidelines include:
- If feasible, transfer patients to the closest available certified primary care stroke center or comprehensive stroke center, which might involve air medical transport, though telemedicine with a stroke center may also be appropriate.
- Create multidisciplinary quality improvement committees within hospitals to review and monitor stroke care.

Hayden Panettiere, who claims she's "hot enough to get your attention for 30 seconds," gives a fake profanity-laden endorsement for John McCain in this FunnyOrDie video that's 99% Die. Okay, listen, I'm liberal as they come, but for the love of God, knock this shit off. It's not cute. It's definitely not funny. And you probably just convinced a bunch of rednecks they're going to literally get "fucked" by voting for McCain. As if these avid gun enthusiasts weren't going to be pissed off enough if Obama wins, you've added blue balls to the equation. How can that go wrong? Fortunately, it's been a lifelong dream of mine to get shot at my local Arby's. Thanks, Hayden!
Hayden Panettiere 'endorses' John McCain, drops the F-bomb
They should just stop, really. The media, the celebrities, all of them. This is an election for Christ's sake. They've turned it into a liberal circus. They're taking what's left of any respect and dignity out of the process, and turning it into a propaganda hellhole that makes America look even dumber and tasteless than ever. Comedy does not educate voters. Entertainment should not dictate who will make a world leader. I'm sick of these comedians turning something prideful, such as electing our next president, into a damn joke. Especially, using pretty girls to get Obama elected. I will be writing in my own candidate in this election because this whole thing has turned into one big fucking joke. I don't give a shit who wins, whether it's the man that surrounds himself with people that hate what America stands for, or the man that uses fear and hate to try to win. By the way, Hayden penewhatever, show a little modesty. "I know I'm hot" Fuck off.
WTF!!? "There're"? You know what I meant.
wow…i always thought she was a stupid twat—but i thank her for confirming it!
does fox news link to the superficial or something? what's with all the racist conservatives in the comments?
Yawn. Yet another celebrity foisting their unwelcome opinions in the public forum. And did you see what she did there? She was all sarcastic and stuff….genius!! She's no less cute though…I'd really enjoy sticking my penis in her. And it was hot hearing her drop f-bombs.
Another wanta- be celebutard in the tank for Obama. Besides being total fools, these assholes must not have anything better to do, Go work in a soup kitchen or something positive rather than support the most liberal nutcake in the senate. shheeeesh!!!!!!!!
That was the stupidist thing I've seen or heard in a long time. I cannot believe the lengths people will go through for attention. Has this little girl ever heard the word "modesty". It's is a virture, is it not?
@ 54 — what racism? Do you even know what that word means, or is that just your knee-jerk reaction catchall phrase to describe an opposing point of view? Pussies like you that cry "racism" when someone disagrees with you are a big part of what's wrong with this country.
@ #30 Brian: Well said….you just read my mind (kind of hot) -where the hell DID john kerry go? obviously when a dem is no longer the "flavor" of the four years and asshat celebs cant get attention by making stupid videos they fade into obscurity. Brian you are a god among men.
Kill the cheerleader, save the world.
These celebrity political ads make me want to do the opposite of what the celebrities are telling me. I wasn't going to vote Obama anyway, but these ads actually make me hate the entire left side. It's been said before, and it's true: anyone who would actually base their choice on what some empty-headed little tart says, just because she's famous and cute, is an idiot and needs to stay home on Election Day. Why do these people even think that we actually care what they say? The only reason they're all out there for Obama anyway is to look cool and progressive for their other famous friends in Hollywood. Like they even really give a fuck or relate to the regular people in this country.
Why doesn't funny or die spoof Obama? Maybe throw in some "jive talking", some fried chicken and watermelon jokes, maybe some "I hate white people" jokes. And for good measure they should tell us about how Obama would ghetto up the Whitehouse.
Funny or Die is neither–sad.
@58 Modesty can be over rated at times, but not this time. She is just a dumb shit Hollywood Lib that has no clue what the real world is like.
Vomit. Funny or Die, I'll just die, thanks.
I love it when really young people point out how old other people are and how that must make them stupid, thats just sooo cute! Please keep talking. Finally, someone realizes how every birthday just makes you dumber and 20 year olds such run the country. I mean duh. OmG, the white house would be OuTta CoNtRoL AwEsOmE!
GO MCCAIN!!!! Hussain Obama is the anti-christ.
WOW! if she says i should vote for Obama then i will definitely jump on that bandwagon. STUPID FUCKING CELEBRITIES. If anyone honestly decides their vote based on what an ignorant (usually uneducated) celebrity has to say – they should be shot. just sayin….
#66 For some reason the 60s just keep coming back and 'never trust anyone over 35′ has now become a year older than the democrat candidate. Anyone liberal here watch the acceptance speech of McCain? Of course you didn't, cause you're uninformed and don't want to be… but anyway, his mother was there, in her 90s and stood without help or a walker. 'Old' John will outlive a lot of these liberals so shut up about that.
Oh and conservatives aren't evil # 15-17, we just cling to our guns and Bible's.
This twat is retarded and I couldn't give two shits what she or any other celebrity thinks. They need to keep their fucking opinions to themselves and stop trying to influence the rest of us. And any chick who played Ally McBeal's daughter in the last season is too fucking stupid to have an opinion anyway.
When she says "he'll keep tax breaks for the rich" she acts like that's bad when in fact she is one of "the rich". I mean really…does she want to give more of her money to the gov't or is she like every other rich liberal?. She has expensive tax attorneys and accountants to find every loop hole to prevent paying a lot of her taxes.
I've never figured out why most of hollywood are liberal since they probably make up a big chunk of "the rich".
Poorly written script! What was so funny about it ..humm maybe that fact that the dumb nutt who can only say her name correctly just convinced me to vote John McCain ..Haha
Career problems? Make a viral video!
What happened to no more Hayden posts, Superficial writer?
Today too many people are learning about politics from satire. There is real news out there. Check it out then form your own opinion.
I thought her last name was pronounced Pene-tear.
soooo funny….wtf
Team McCain/Palin!!!
I was going to vote for Obama but all this Hollywood BS is really making vote for McCain. It's turned into vote SPITE!!!
PS for all you boner strokers, that chick is not fine. She mid-average at best.
For eff sake, Palin is hotter than her.
like i would take voting advice from someone who probably hasn't even graduate high school.

You're stupid if watching a celeb makes you change your presidential vote because you like the celeb and want to emulate their views. You're stupid if watching a celeb makes you change your presidential vote because you hate the celeb and think they should shut the hell up.
Yawn, why get so riled up either way?!
That was ridiculous and not at all funny. And she's not that hot.
I am an obama supporter and frankly i am really embarrassed that she and i are on the same side.

this makes me want to vote mccain/palin even more….. shuttt upppp hayden
ps your a celebrity making millions, he actulally fought for our country princess. is she even old enough to vote? shes looks like shes 10
hahahaha i actually thought that was kinda funny…
celebrities really need to stop talking about politics! They makes themselves look like idiots…but I guess it works for McCain's favor!
Ya McCains old, but thats not a reason not to vote for him.
Actually, McCain is nothing like Bush..he's borderline Democrat!
To correct #15… the republican party has not run congress for 15 years get your facts straight. Congress is controlled by Democrats and so is the House of Reps. 233 Dem to 202 Reb. So a lot of whats going on financially is really the Democrats fault! Republican are the ones who tried to reform the big shot banks like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack & were denied by the democrats. Maybe you should take a look at Speaker Nancy Pelosi record!
Anyways if you want the Government to control every aspect of your life then go ahead and vote for Obama. I'm voting for McCain because I don't want government telling me what to do and how to run my life and my business. Do your research and stop listening to the mainstream media!
This makes me so proud to vote McCain/Palin. What an uninformed child, following the "in" crowd instead of doing her research and voting right for America. I have always been more of a leader than a follower myself.
@89…LOL! I like that idea.
What a dumb little bitch!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was someone worth voting for?
I think McCain might have done better by criticizing Bush than Obama. They need to distance themselves from the clusterfuck that was the Bush administration.
Wow. Is it just me, or has she gotten really ugly? Anyways, I wish all of these celebrities would stick to their day jobs and stay out of politics. Why are all liberals such a-holes? My vote is going to McCain.

Hayden's right – She's hot enough to hold my attention for 30 sec.
Too bad ths clip is 46 sec.
Oh well.
Vote Nader!!!

Is memorizing a form of art
…"Stephen Wiltshire, ma main man!"
Do the innate absolute criteria of fine art judge Stephen Wiltshire's art, or is it only the jealousy of one private subjective ego?
Stephen Wiltshire became famous after appearing in some TV show where he presented his remarkable photographic memory abilities. First, I would like to honestly state, that I am truly empathic and happy for his success and have nothing in person against him. He really seems like a cute guy. What I am more concerned about is the definition of art in regards to Stepen Wiltshire's abilities. I'll break this down to art's three basic components, as I perceive them.
The three aspects of fine art
Stephen Wiltshire's art scales from basic sketching lessons to advanced architectural drawings at the most. Some of his works are no more than elementary car design sketches or urban views. No innovation of technique and no originality in the perception of reality and it's translation to art. Just plain sketching you might see scattered abundantly around the internet.
Have you ever seen an architect or a car designer selling their sketches as works of art for prices ranging up to 13,000 pounds? I suppose not.
Plain urban views or different motive transportation. No depths of issues, no message, no meaning, no purpose; just some "pretty things" to gaze at.
Having evaluated the first two ingredients of fine art and concluded that they sum up to nothing in Stephen Wiltshire's case, we are left with the most important one of all.
How does an artist approach a work of art? Well, I assume that there are numerous subtle nuances which define each and every artist of the past, present or future, but the basic grid is the same: you approach art with deep awareness.
What is the motive, the purpose, the essence, the meaning? What is it that which you want to say and what atmosphere will help you convey that message? How will you create that atmosphere and how will the compositional architecture, color scheme, shape formations, light, textures and perspectives influence the atmosphere you are trying to create?
The deeper the awareness the deeper the message will be and the more profound the essence is. So also, the more subtle the philosophy and the more complex the theoretical aspects behind the art work, that much more spiritual awareness and conscious self-awareness must be respectively present in order to realize that work of art.
Basic artistry, lack of Art
On the other hand, when all you want is to copy something from one place to another – with no emphasis on the technique and style, with no intent of purposeful content, with no awareness to the derivative criteria of creation – all you need is the hand-eye coordination awareness, hence the basic instinctual human consciousness.
So far as the context of art is concerned, there should be absolutely no meaning to whether the copying is from another picture using a translucent paper or directly from nature, or as in Stephen Wiltshire's case using the memory as the copying source. I mean, does writing the theory of relativity from memory make you a math genius?
This is all assuming that he really does have a photographic memory, and that this whole thing is not some get-rich-quick plot by crude PR snakes and art-scam agents – "Let's grease the world with that black autistic boy, Stephen Wiltshire…3 birds in one shot – he also knows how to draw, so even 4 birds – Great opportunity! Where is that shotgun?…" These things happened before in the art world. But, I'll give him that at least – For argument's sake, Stephen Wiltshire has a photographic memory.
…"So, you…you're the Rain Man?"
Being Stephen Wiltshire an autistic-savant, automatically boosted the value of his art, simply because there has never been in the recorded history of art another one like him. People might have said to themselves: "Well, there is nothing unique about his art, in neither venue, but hey, he's autistic and he remembers stuff… Oh hey, and it's just like that guy in that movie… I mean, wow!"
The acquired talent of Stephen Wiltshire
Well-greased marketing also helped to obscure from the art establishment and the general public the fact that actually, so far as art and artistic standards are concerned, there is nothing here to make so much fuss about. Had any other non-autistic artist presented such art to any respected gallery or museum in the world, I think that he would have gotten the cold shoulder.
Plainly saying, in this day and age art is mostly a gimmick, which without the appropriate marketing will not see the light of day, not to mention fortune and fame.
Was I compassionate when I wrote this? Truthfully, no. But was I cruel? Also, no. I was just trying to make a point. Check out Stephen Wiltshire's official website

That is some strong views about art. Well, in an academic sense, memorizing is a form of art. The ways that students use their creativity to retain knowledge in their brains is a fascinating study. But on the artistic sense, memorizing what something looks like could be considered talent, but I wouldn't categorize it as art. But for someone with disabilities, that is already something big.

This completely depends on one's perception. Something which is extremely artisitc for you may actually be absolutely crap from someone else's perspective.
# chessclockson 11 May 2011 at 12:06 pm
I agree with you: art requires the creation of something, not merely the mechanical regurgitation of something… as for Wiltshire's works, I do feel a certain emptiness looking at them. To follow your own argument, as to whether these sketches could be rightfully considered art, I would have to go back to Wiltshire himself… Does he merely draw from memory, or is his sketches somehow representative of how he actually sees things in his mind's eye?
# Lewis Curranon 07 Jul 2011 at 5:22 am
Whilst I agree that rationally art must be a creative process, I belive that the perception of something as art makes that piece become art.

Why Abdellah Taia Had to Die in Order to Live
By Aaron Hicklin
Despite Taïa's passion for French culture, there was nothing inevitable about his migration to Paris. He could barely speak French, a language associated with the rich in Morocco, when he arrived at Rabat University in 1992. Only by starting a diary and forcing himself to write in French was he able to progress. His skills improved so much that he won a scholarship to study 18thcentury French literature in Geneva. From there he went to the Sorbonne, on another scholarship, to study his doctoral thesis. He had visited Paris once before, in the spring of 1998, thanks to a brief affair with a French lecturer he met at Rabat University (along with the rest of the class he'd been invited to join the tutor at a local caf' -- only Taïa turned up). He compares that relationship to the love triangle in Fran'ois Truffaut's Jules et Jim. 'He had a boyfriend, but I told him I didn't mind,' he says. 'He and his boyfriend were sharing a bed, and at night he'd come to my bed and want to have sex, and in the morning we'd all have breakfast together. It was very complicated. I loved it.'
Complicated is perhaps the best word to describe Taïa's relationships, especially with his older brother, Abdelk'bir -- a magnetic, largely silent figure at the heart of Taïa's autobiographical Salvation Army, his only novel to be translated into English. Six sisters and 18 years separated the two brothers, giving Abdelk'bir a potent place in the family hierarchy: While Taïa and his siblings shared a room with their mother, Abdelk'bir had a room to himself. (Their father had the other.) 'My brother's room was like the ch'teau of the king,' says Taïa. 'He brought a TV, and the sisters would stand at the door, watching, and he used to put me and my small brother in his small bed -- sometimes one of us, sometimes the other, sometimes both. It created something special, sexual, and emotional.'
Given his position in the family -- 'for my mother there is Abdelk'bir and there is the rest of the family' -- the intense mix of admiration and desire that swirled around the older brother was not surprising. A passage in Salvation Army, in which Taïa washes his brother's hair, captures the mood:
'If I love napes today, it's because I spent such a long time looking at my brother's, long and thin. I often wanted to bend over a little further and kiss it tenderly. I wanted to reach out and caress it with my hand, gently tickle it and listen to Abdelk'bir's laughter. I wanted to run my fingers through his hair, play with it, pull it, draw, scratch, dream... I wanted so many things when I was with Abdelk'bir.'
The writing is direct, unaffected, and powerful. An American writer might be tempted to overanalyze the incestuous impulse, but Taïa writes without question or judgment. He accepts his characters for what they are. There is guilt, but barely -- it's almost an inconvenience. He seems more conflicted when a 40-year-old man on the beach in Tangier picks him up: He worries that he's betraying his brother. Salvation Army is a gay coming-of-age novel, but its perspective -- rooted in the claustrophobic world of a poor Moroccan neighborhood -- lends it freshness rare in English literature. David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife, called it one of the best gay books of 2009. Edmund White, who wrote the introduction to the American edition, admires its deceptive simplicity -- 'a simplicity that only intelligence and experience and wide reading can buy.' When the prestigious Hay Festival in Britain recently announced that it had selected 39 writers (out of 450) for Beirut39 -- a project to promote Arab writers -- it was no surprise to find Taïa among them.
Taïa published his first novel in 2000. He wanted to name it after Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho, a movie he'd fantasized about seeing in Morocco -- 'it became mythical for me' -- but the title had no French equivalent, so he settled for My Morocco instead. It was his second book, however -- Le Rouge du Tarbouche (The Red of the Fez), a collection of short stories -- that got attention. A Moroccan TV channel, interested in spotlighting successful artists living abroad, sent a film crew to Paris to interview Taïa. The documentary sparked other requests, turning the book into a bestseller, and Taïa into an unlikely literary darling in the country he'd fled. But it wasn't until he was interviewed for a newspaper in January 2006 that he was asked the question he'd been waiting for: Would he talk about his homosexuality?
'I said yes, which wasn't easy. I had to make the decision in that moment, whether to continue this same hypocrisy in Moroccan society -- around the things you do and the things you hide -- or to be completely myself, to say things with meaning,' he says.
The reaction was immediate. And predictable. The editor of Al Massae, Morocco's biggest-selling newspaper, wrote an editorial denouncing Taïa and attacking the use of public money to fund TV shows that featured him. Bloggers called for him to be stoned. Newspaper readers wrote to attack his credentials. 'They said I am a prostitute and not a Muslim anymore, that I should apologize for the shame I brought to my mother, to my religion, to my town, to my country. These attacks hurt, but worse was the silence of the Moroccan intellectuals. It just confirmed that they were dead people who live in another world -- they don't talk about us, about the reality of Morocco.'
Taïa's determination to challenge the prejudice of Moroccan society did not fade. 'Even now people tell me I should change the subject, that I'll be ghettoized as a gay writer, but do we give this advice to heterosexual writers? Please stop writing about your heterosexuality? Homosexuality is part of me, but it's not the only thing I write about. The problem is the way these people read my work. Their problem is that my sexuality is all they see.'
Coming out so publicly was also an awakening for his family. One of his sisters found a copy of the interview on her office desk and read it to their mother, who, like many Moroccans, is illiterate. 'I felt guilty for an hour or two,' says Taïa. 'And then I thought, But no one is asking me how I lived all these years as a gay man. If we think always of how other people will react we'll never do anything. There will always be people who are not OK with the things we do, and not only with homosexuality.'

tr.v. sal·vaged 1) To save from loss or destruction. 2) To save (discarded or damaged material) for further use. Welcome to the blog of Rev. Katie Z. Dawson, United Methodist elder and Field Coordinator for Imagine No Malaria.
At every training event I have hosted I ask this question:
Why do we call ourselves "Imagine No Malaria"?
What is that little word, "imagine" doing in there?
Usually, the first response I get is a reference to John Lennon.
But then people think for a bit.
And their faces start to light up.
They start dreaming.
They start picturing this world with me.
We imagine together a different reality than the one in front of us.
We start thinking up creative possibilities.
Some people think that imagination is dead… that we have lost our ability to play and be inventive and envision a world that is different.
I firmly disagree, and this little boy, Caine, is one reason why:

Former world number one Serena Williams suffered an injury scare less than two weeks ahead of the Australian Open on Wednesday when the American was forced out of the Brisbane International with a badly twisted ankle.
There was also bad news for home favourite and top seed Samantha Stosur, who was bundled out early for the second successive year.
Williams twisted her left ankle late in her second round match against Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski and needed about 10 minutes of treatment, including restrapping her ankle, before she went on to secure a 6-2 6-4 victory.
The American had scans later which confirmed she would need to withdraw from the tournament.
She had been due to meet Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova in the quarter-finals and the injury will now create some doubt as to whether the 30-year-old will be in top form as she attempts to win her sixth Australian Open title at Melbourne Park.
"I'm disappointed to have to pull out of the Brisbane International," Williams said in a statement.
"I have been to hospital and it has been confirmed that I have a left ankle sprain that I probably shouldn't play on.
"I'm going to take a couple of days off, not too many, and see how I feel.
"I'm still hopeful of playing the Australian Open."
The first Grand Slam tournament of the season starts on January 16.
Stosur, who beat Williams in the US Open final last year to claim her maiden Grand Slam title, continued her poor run of form in her home town losing 6-4 6-2 to Czech Iveta Benesova.
It was the second successive year the world number six has been the top seed at Brisbane and lost in the second round. Last year, she lost to compatriot Jarmila Gajdosova.
"Hopefully it was just a bad day and I will bounce back next week and the week after," Stosur said.
"Of course it's disappointing. I never wanted to go out in this round again. I don't want to dwell on it.
"It's back to the practice court and keep working hard and do whatever I can to set up myself up for the (Australian) summer.
"It's not the ideal start but I am not going to panic and think it's all lost."
Benesova, who had never beaten Stosur in their previous four meetings, will now meet Australian Open champion Kim Clijsters in the quarter-finals.

USC Prof to KPCC: You Blew It with Patt Morrison
Carol Muske-Dukes, an author and professor of English-creative writing at USC, takes KPCC 89.3 management to task on The Huffington Post for the way they have recently treated Patt Morrison. The SCPR radio personality and Pulitzer prize winner was shown the studio door in early September after years of weekday, on-air service:
The valedictory eloquence of Morrison's thoughtful September 7 farewell stood in stark contrast to KPCC management's close-mouthed handling of their cancellation of the show. There was, by all reports, no announcement or explanation by the station's administrators until days after Morrison's show vanished – literally "into thin air." Then, on the creaky-voiced Larry Mantel show, which had been re-positioned and extended in the wake of the Patt cancellation, there was a brief, vague reference to the termination by president and CEO Bill Davis, who murmured something about a "change."
Although KPCC has assured that Morrison will continue in the future to contribute to the station, an online petition was launched urging the Southern California Public Radio operation not to cancel Morrison's program. Muske-Dukes meanwhile called the station to complain, and to vp of content Russ Stanton's credit, he returned her call.

Then you are exactly the kind of student that makes us love our jobs — because we know you can learn Hebrew! Probably the greatest difficulty for students to overcome is their fear of languages in general. We could explain to you how we introduce an oral component from the first day, encourage the community learning environment, teach students how the language works rather than just force mass memorization, or put you right into the text so that the joy of reading the Word affects you immediately, but the truth is — you just have to trust us. You are not the only person who believes they struggle with languages, but we have never had one who hasn't learned to read. In fact, some of those who absolutely fall in love with Hebrew would tell you that they are not language people at all. We promise all our students that, if they will trust us and will work hard, they will be able to read Hebrew.
Because it's awesome. We are crazy excited about our jobs and, as a result, there will never be a dull moment in this program. While we have designed a program that will enable even a language-challenged student to learn to read, it is also flexible enough to push you as far as you want to go in your learning. It is not uncommon for a student to far exceed our rigorous course expectations. We meet with advanced students outside of class on a weekly basis to read and dialogue. There are groups of students who regularly meet to read together —even over the summer months. Students who excel and have a heart for teaching are invited to become part of our tutoring program, and we incorporate tutors, TA's, interns and practicum students into the teaching process wherever possible. This year our students in the advanced courses will get to work with Dr. Kutz on a previously unseen Dead Sea Scroll fragment and will be included in his publication on that project.

Revsnes hotel in Byglandsfjord has had its 45th anniversary and is already looking forward towards new horizons and possibilities. We have a unique location regarding activities all around the year, which we will present to you on our new website.
The history at Revsnes hotel reflects frugality, friendliness, targeted focus through 40 years, and not least the great love for the hotel that the founders over a long time has put into the hotel, with hard labour forward to today's result.
The history of Revsnes started already in 1964 and was built rock by rock, something the character of the hotels entrance reflects – where the entrance has been built around a very special rock – The Amazonite.
We wish to safeguard this legacy, and continue a great tradition further in the same spirit as our founders, but of course in harmony with demands and challenges of the future. It comes naturally in this context to give a big thanks to Birgit and Aksel Fjelberg, and Birgits family for their effort, that amongst other things were crowned with the Kings medal of merit for Birgits effort in the local community and tourism, as the business developer she was.
Our goal is to be able to have something to offer everybody – and our slogan is "the guest in focus". Therefore it's important for us to get feedback, both positive and negative – this is the only way we can improve and get even better. Reasonable driving distances, both from Kristiansand and Arendal, makes us the natural choice for course- and conference guests that desire to surround themselves in nature's fabulous environment. In short – we have a unique location – in the middle of Agder.
Many experiences Revsnes hotel as a fairytale from reality, and we encourage everybody to get in touch for a fairytale experience.
Yours sincerely
The management and the staff at Revsnes hotel
