Rated 3 out of 5 by Latoya504 Great Location/horrible experience with staff I'm a frequent traveler and had just left the National Harbor area two weeks prior to staying at the Aloft National Harbor. The staff was very rude and not willing to assist at all. The parking was not convenient and the room was not what I expected. I called the front desk for directions and was insulted and left on hold for 10 minutes. I finally gave up and received information and assistance from another surrounding hotel (where I stayed two weeks prior on a business trip). I plan on visiting the National Harbor again because the location is amazing and the surrounding stores and restaturants are excellent. I will not stay at the Aloft again. So Disappointed!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bri14 Love the hotel was so nice Everyone there was so nice and my room was great. November 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beth This hotel met all my expectations I attended Delta Days at the Nation's Capitol and reserved a room at the Aloft. The price of the room was very reasonable and had great amenities such as free internet, free bottled water, a refrigerator, oversized shower with luxurious body wash and shampoo, and what a beautiful view!! The bed was very confortable and everything that I needed was in the room. I was so busy that I didn't get to enjoy breakfast, the exercise room, pool or bar. Finally, while waiting on my ride, did I get to relax in the lounge area. I can't wait to come back in the Spring to enjoy the outdoor areas. February 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Libb The view was fabulous One huge problem. The people staying in the room next to us from 12:00 to 3:00 AM were havcing a party and kept us up all night. They were talking loudly, high pitched voices and were probably drinking and didn't think about the other people in the adjoining room. I was going to call the front desk, but didnt' want the people knowing who made the call. My daughter and I were up most of the night. This was not the fault of the hotel,, but due to the people in the nextt room. Next time I stay there I will ask for a room that has an elderly couple staying next door. December 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jrlut food and beverage the staff serving at the kitche were rude. would be helpful if a full breakfast was served . would appreciate bacon, egg, toast.... November 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Auditor57 Disappointed This was my first stay at an Aloft hotel and probably my last. The room was very small, too small actually. The carpet and chair both had stains. The water pressure in the shower was too low. A guest had to use two elevators to reach their room from the street level. The staff at check in totally disregarded the requests of our group to have rooms on the same floor. On the bright side, the bed was fairly comfortable. The air conditioner worked well and was quiet. The location of the hotel was good also. But the overall experience was very disappointing. November 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by fanofspg Great Hotel. Friendly Staff. Slept like a baby! I checked in early at about 9 am and no rooms were available so about 11 am while at the conference I received a personal phone call that my room was ready and my bags were stored for safe-keeping. When I came back for lunch time I was blown away how amazing the room was. For checking in 6 hours early this hotel's staff went above and beyond! Definitely ask for the river view if available. Made a "just-ok" morning really great! The lounge area was very hip and very happening. If you're into modern, sleek, and younger professional crowd then this lounge would be a good fit. Pool table was a great addition! I was exhausted from work so I did not get a chance to hit the fitness facility/pool but will definitely check it out next time I stay there! December 12, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by JMSC2012 Left much to be desired None of the staff had a clue about anything locally. We asked about a restaurant on the water, and we were told to go to three places not only NOT on the water, but they were farther away than the hotel itself. Then one of the staff was overhead cursing by several guests which was quite unsavory. They also seemed so put out by any requests. Additionally, we were part of a wedding party, and the hotel failed to give ANYONE their welcome bags the groom had specifically worked out with the manager to deliver when the guests checked in. September 24, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bugs59 Disappointed Upon our arrival there was dog poo at elevator on the first floor. Once we checked in we were told there was no breakfast included, but it was at the time the reservation was made.There was no complimentary anything for the amount of time we stayed.The TV kept loosing it's signal, on the second day our room was not cleaned until 5pm. The housekeeping staff did not understand much English. Our third day we did not get clean towels until 6:30pm after numerous request.The best part of the stay was the bartender.Disappointed in MD.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Curtis62 Too Pricey for the Amenities I have stayed at many SPG hotels and was grossly disappointed with this hotel in the heart of beautiful national harbor maryland. The noise levels in the lobby, The traffic throughout the hotel and lobby, the cleanliness of the halls and common areas (or lack thereof) was unsettling in a hotel with such potential for excellence. The decor of the hotel and rooms is very nice so the entire staff needs to "buy into" that presentation and take this hotel to a higher level of excellence. Needs work. I would not stay here again... May 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by vballmom Awesome stay! Staff is amazing! We stayed 3 nights with my daughter's volleyball team and parents and had a great experience. Rooms are clean, roomy, kind of hip and different from the usual stale hotel room layout. The rooftop patio area was a great gathering space for our entire bunch. The re:fuel area was very convenient, reasonably priced and the green program was awesome! But the staff really made the trip! Marvin at the front desk was so friendly and helpful! Made us feel like the most important guests ever to visit National Harbor! April 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by NotAHipster No Customer service When your first interaction with the front desk is their comment "You must not have stayed in a hotel before" you know you are in for a bumpy ride, By the way a SPG # usually indicates the guest has. Other requests were normally handled in a similar condescending manner and the phrase "we are sorry for.." is not in the repertoire of anyone, GM down. And "how can we make it better" doesn't even enter their thought process. If you want a "cool" room, it is fine if you want customer service, go elsewhere. April 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bradford10 Perfect getaway We were greeted by two very friendly and accommodating aloha desk staff. They assisted us in making our stay perfect. The room was spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect. October 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Notahappycustomer87 Good Location I checked in on Monday Aug 4 to blasting music in the lobby. Music was played by the hotel, it was loud and very unprofessional. Yes there was a party going on, but the music level was an immediate turn off. Apparently you are a "pet friendly" hotel, but allow dogs to be left in their rooms alone and to bark. Not good. Next, I had a temperature sensitive box delivered to the hotel at 11:30am on 8/6. The front desk never made an attempt to notify me that there was a delivery for me. It wasn't until 9:30pm when I went to the desk to ask that they acknowledged they had it. It was chocolate covered strawberries for my birthday. Yes they had melted and were ruined. Thank you for that ! It clearly said Sherry's Berry's all over the box. Want more ? Rosean made arrangements for car pickup, that was fine. I waited out front for Sabina to pick me up at 9:30 on 8/7. She walked past me and went to front desk to ask about me, front desk said they didn't have my name or cell #. YOU DID ! Rosean texted me the confirmation the night before...In the meantime Sabina got a $25 ticket,,.,,you owe her $25.. August 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MMmm1 Different and Better Aloft does things a little differently than other hotels, in a good way. I loved the Grab and Go cafe. I was there on a business trip and didn't have time for restaurants or the cooked breakfast. It was great being able to grab a salad or fresh fruit on my way out the door (or ice cream at 10pm). I also liked the Green option to receive a voucher if I declined maid service. I prefer to not waste fresh towels and linens anyway, and the voucher paid for my breakfast every day. The unique decor felt upscale and more like a downtown apt than a hotel. The toiletries were nice, and the bed and room were very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit! August 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Taystevie Great decor but something's missing..... I booked this suite for my bday celebration. When I did a walk through of the room, I was pleased. Loved the decor! But then I realized, the room didnt have a microwave, like most hotels. My guest were unable to smoke on the personal patio/balcony because they said its still apart of the room and the room was smoke-free. Which to me, defeats the purpose of having a balcony. Overall, the experience was good but not great. January 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Edayff49c3 Location was awesome We stayed 2 nights and reserved 3 rooms for our family. The staff was very professional and greeted us by name every time we returned to the hotel. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Everything was in walking distance, so once we parked our car in the garage we never needed to move it until check out. Very convenient check in and late check out was just what we needed. Would definitely stay again. June 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by RKSF Well located, great experience! The aloft National Harbor sits right at the center of the restaurant, retail and bar activity with views of the Potmac River. The hotel is a fresh experience from the standard hotel fare I usually get. The lobby is fun, large and offers something for everyone. I particularly like the outdoor deck overlooking the river and bridge, which is lit up at night. September 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tony813 Great Hotel!! Love Starwood Properties!! I really enjoy staying in the National Harbor and the Aloft is my top choice as I've stayed here for over a week. Great customer service and awesome leadership staff. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Slim59 Slim59 Everything was good except for when we went to the Front Desk and asked the young lady could we move to another room because we were having problems with the AC without even looking she said you were booked up, but yet while we were standing their people were walking in asking for rooms and she searched and found rooms for them. I thought this to be totally unprofessional. Maybe she did it because we are a Lesbian couple this incident happened late in the evening on Sunday, around 8:00pm. Everyone else at the Aloft were very pleasant and helpful. September 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BigCB ROOM RATING Great location. Great Staff. the bathrooms do not have exhaust fans and the bathroom door did not stay close or locked. overall good room and great location. fix the bathroom issues. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Manju SO WORTH IT AND MORE!!!!! This hotel was so worth it and more. The location location location was amazing! All you need in walking distance, hotel clean, guest services professional and consistent. We were greeted everytime with a smile and a "welcome back". I must say that I was very pleased. April 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ZenFredd This hotel was perfect This hotel was exactly what we expected. I went on June to celebrate my first anniversary and the service, staff rooms. everything was great. I didn't like the reception...... it was kind of messy for such of beautiful hotel. July 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashleigh1128 Nicest staff The staff at this hotel was the nicest of any hotel I've ever been too. The room was beautiful. This by far one of my favorite hotels I've ever stayed at. I definetely recommend this hotel. August 3, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jburke266 Great place.for our conference Excellent staff support! They truly cared about our group. September 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by SK1000 Rude, and Unprofessional Staff My wife and I are staying at this hotel for 3 nights from 6/2-6/5. The facility was ok but we felt some of the staff at the front desk were under trained and even rude. This morning when my wife went down to get breakfast around 9:45. She grabbed a snack bar for $2 on the price board. The lady at the reception counter wanted to charge her for $3.50. My wife explained to her politely it was $2 on the price board. She looked very impatient and went to check the price, then said to my wife the board was wrong. Someone put the wrong price on the board, so you owe me additional $1.50. As my wife tried to explain to her, it was not customer's fault that your price board was incorrect. You should correct it immediately if it is really wrong. But this person at the counter was very rude and kept arguing the price was wrong. "YOU OWE ME $1.50" She repeated 3-4 times. This kind of customer service is unacceptable for a SPG hotel. I am a SPG Gold member. We spent thousands of dollars staying at SPG hotels every year. It's not about paying $1.50 more. It's matter of the stinky attitude and customer service. I know these maybe minor thing, but I can tell you for sure we will NOT choose this hotel again, or recommend to anyone in the future. Because of one or two under qualified and unprofessional staff could potentially ruin the great reputation of SPG hotel. June 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by nevereveragain very disappointed The outward appearance is not only spectacular but deceiving. The lobby, sitting area and conference room are all beautiful. Once we stepped in our room it was great, until it was time to use the bathroom. The toilet was filled, and I literally mean filled to the top with feces, that seemingly had been fermenting for several days and carried a horrific stench of death and foul sewage. Management was called immediately. Zach did respond in a timely fashion The following morning, after a night of restful sleep, we were once again disappointed. Other patrons of the hotel stated that there was an emergency evacuation that only a few guests heard. AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION that only a FEW patrons heard. We were not only shocked but furious. We then asked the concierge what happened and that we, among other guests, did not hear anything. The response was, "Well, it was a false alarm anyway.".... Absolutely unacceptable and extremely dangerous! What if it wasn't? It is not ok for only a few fire alarms to function properly so that only a few people can evacuate safely! And the nonchalant response of your employee that "it was a false alarm anyway" is totally unacceptable. I would like to be notified if my life is in danger, falsely or not. Hopefully, management can reconcile these issues for future guests, as I will not be returning to this particular Starwood property. March 2, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nothankyou Awful experience all around This is a hotel for students or young people, not business travelers. The rug in my room was filthy. The ironing board and iron were "miniature" and my shirts fell on the gross carpet while trying to iron. The downstairs bar stopped serving food before 8pm even though I told the bartender 15 minutes earlier that I wanted to order food, he didn't think he should tell me it closing. Finally, I was told that my room was pre-paid upon check-in and check-out but 2 weeks later I was charged for it with no notification from the hotel . And I had to spend a long time on the phone with them to get this answer, very frustrating. I will never stay here again. October 29, 2013

63-year-old cancer patient Dixon Smith was at home in Laketon Township, Mich. when a pair of burglars broke into his house. Smith spotted one of the criminals walking by his front window, and then heard the burglars talking downstairs. After retrieving a shotgun, Smith confronted the intruders, ordering them to the ground. The burglars complied, and Smith held the pair until police could arrive.
According to Smith, the police response took "Kind of a long five to 10 minutes." (MLive.com, Michigan, 09/21/12)

First entry on a new journal. I used to do Xanga, but I got tired of the popularity of that group. But hey, I got lucky enough to find this new journal site, and I think its pretty cool. Who knows, maybe this time I'll actually stick to the journal rather than giving it up after a couple of entries. Well, ok...here's the deal. Today has been crappy. I had to take a Genetics test early today so that I could go to my job at work study aw well. Work study sucked too...I kept getting bugged by all the helpless patrons, not that I don't mind...but gosh, how many times does someone have to be shown how to use a dang copier?? Grrrr....I think I'm done for now.
Peace out,

On first glance, this business owner was happy with his 412 visits. Unfortunately, that didn't tell the real story. This is a local business, selling products to other businesses in the Phoenix area. They don't ship to or do business overseas. So the fact that 140 of the visits were from outside of Arizona (some were even from China!) makes those visits pretty useless to them.
We also found that 232 visits were either from the visitor typing in their web address or clicking on a link (maybe in an email or on a business card). Now if the business owner had tagged all the links in their email newsletters and other sources, they'd be able to tell exactly which of those efforts were working for them.
What about traffic from the search engines?
It looks like 115 visits were from a visitor typing a search term into the search engine and then finding this business' website in the results. But let's look at that a little closer. Remember, we only care about traffic from Arizona and people who didn't already know the business name (because they would find us anyway). So the only ones we care about in this case are search terms without the company name, in Arizona. Turns out there were only 15 of those searches.
So the real story was…
This was a real eye-opener for the business owner who initially thought his internet marketing strategy was performing pretty well for him since he saw 412 visits. It gave a pretty good explanation for why the phone wasn't ringing!

The Frontier Nursing University in Hyden, Kentucky, is launching a new campaign to increase diversity in nursing. The PRIDE Program has a good acronym for an even better cause: Promoting Recruitment and Retention to Increase Diversity in Nurse-Midwifery and Nurse Practitioner Education.
"The ultimate goal of the PRIDE program is to recruit and retain qualified underrepresented students in our graduate school of nursing who will meet the health care demands of an increasingly diverse population," the school says. They kicked off the campaign this past June with its first annual Diversity Impact weekend. The tight-knit, intimate event of 16 students held diversity forums and networking opportunities. They discussed and debated issues such as "Resources on Racial Disparities," "Surviving Distance Education," and "What's Race Got To Do With It: A Courageous Conversation About Race."
The weekend also included presentations regarding cultural beliefs and health conditions specific to certain demographics—even a potluck dinner of recipes from different cultures. All visiting students were given a $500 travel stipend, funded by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).The Frontier University (formerly Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing) has been educating nurse practitioners and nurse midwives to work in rural and otherwise medically underserved communities for 70 years. For more information regarding the PRIDE initiative and a summary of the weekend's events, visit www.frontier.edu/diversityimpact.

Acquiring property had a profound effect on Forster-and not a very positive one.
"In the first place, it makes me feel heavy," Forster wrote in his humorous essay "My Wood." "If you have a lot of things you cannot move around a lot." Forster provides examples of how the responsibility of ownership "makes you think twice before you accept an invitation to dinner."
"In the second place," said Forster, owning property "makes me feel it ought to be larger." He found himself looking at the surrounding land, feeling it was unfortunate that he "dared not murder" his neighbor to get her property.
Forster's third point was that "property makes its owner feel that he ought to do something to it." Some days he wanted to cut down the trees; other days he wanted to grow more trees; both impulses he deemed "pretentious and empty."
Finally, ownership made Forster protective, wanting people to stay off his footpath and stop picking his blackberries, feeling like he should "wall in and fence out until I really taste the sweets of property."
Hospitals today are being encouraged to get larger-for example, to acquire physician practices, the subject of this issue of hfm magazine. Reviewing the articles, I was glad to see that they contain excellent strategies to avoid the onerous aspects of expansion that Forster observes.
At the root of Forster's problem was that he was expanding for no particular reason-exactly the situation that the authors of our cover story, "Choosing the Right Physician Practices," aim to avoid. They lay out a smart process for aligning a practice acquisition choice with organizational goals. The article presents a matrix whose axes are defined by the degree of financial benefit and the degree of strategic benefit that each practice would provide. Of course, the ideal is to have practices that provide both financial and strategic benefits (what the authors call "must-haves"). However, the real test is to determine whether a hospital is willing to sacrifice some measure of financial benefit to further a strategic goal and whether a hospital wants to acquire a practice that may be a "cash cow" but not deliver the strategic reach a hospital needs.
The result of this approach should be that a hospital is not weighed down by its physician practices, but that the practices actually make the hospital more nimble by giving it a stronger cash position and better reach into parts of the community that the hospital needs to serve. Similarly, as the hospital continues to grow, that growth will not be just for the sake of growth, but for a purpose that will further both the financial and community-health missions of the organization.
And whereas Forster finds owning property made him stingy and protective, the articles in this issue of hfm point the way to more productive relationships with the partners hospitals will need for a successful future.

From one fall...
Justin G
Saved my skull, BUT...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have mixed emotions about this helmet. I am happy that it protected me but I am bummed to have dropped $130 on it to have it crack so easily on SNOW! Yes, the pictures of the crack are a result of my head hitting hard pack, not ice or rail or box.
Let's eliminate the emotion and talk facts.
PROS: This helmet is low-profile, light and stylish.
CONS: The helmet is single-impact rated, which you won't find out until you go thru the warranty process. The sound quality in the speakers is pretty rough. Very scratchy and the left always cuts out. It fits strange and even though it has a dial system, it leaves a lot of pressure is places. It cracked on one mild fall on hard pack snow.
My suggestion, for the money, go to Smith or even K2 (even though K2 owns Ride, their helmets are much more forgiving) for a quality helmet.
Chris Huntley
bad news, but most helmets for lots of activities have a single impact rating.
Justin G
Yes Chris, I know that. And while many are single-impact rated, they do not perform like single-impact, meaning they can actually be bumped without breaking. So the point is to let other folks know that it is not overly durable and for the money, look elsewhere.
Ride Ninja Helmet
I like it!

The effects of noradrenergic re-uptake inhibition on memory encoding in man.
Papps BP., Shajahan PM., Ebmeier KP., O'Carroll RE.
Animal and human evidence implicate the central noradrenergic system in the process of memory modulation for emotional material. Blockade of the beta-adrenergic system in humans has been shown to result in decreased recall and recognition memory performance, relative to placebo, for the emotional elements of a series of slides accompanied by a narrative. Stimulation of the noradrenergic system with yohimbine has also been shown to result in increased recall and recognition performance relative to placebo for the same stimulus materials.

Why bother?
"If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else" -motto by Booker T. Washington
A motto is a brief word or phrase that expresses the guiding principles or purpose of a person or organization. In other words... an incredible way for you to connect on a personal level with your prospect.
The tag-line on your business card could be a very effective motto that sets you apart from your competition.
Lets say you are given two business cards. One has the normal name, logo, phone number, blah,blah, blah. The other has the usual information but under the name of US Coast Guard you read the Latin words "Semper Paratus" which proudly states" Always Ready"
Which one stays with you? That's what I thought.
Perhaps you could choose a phrase similar to our latin mottos to give your card that touch of excellence. Its also a good conversation starter when your prospect asks the meaning of your unique tag-line.
We also have several funny mottos that will get your neurons clicking. Obviously not suitable for a funeral home but easily used for novelty stores, clowns, and entertainment business cards.
You have seen and heard hundreds of famous mottos and cool life mottos through the years. Let these springboard your creativity to finding the right one for your business.
Even government and state mottos can give you insight in your search. Fifty to choose from though I think the Florida State motto is one of the best. You can find inspiration all around you. Anytime you have organizations you will find a examples to peruse. From Senior class mottos to team mottos, there are plenty to study.
My suggestion is to inspire, lift up and elevate the mind of your prospect. Nothing will do this better than motivational mottos.
Ready to start? Audentes fortuna iuvat ... fortune favors the bold (the motto of the Portuguese Army Commandos).

With countless kilometers of dirt roads and paths traversing a variety of terrain, Costa Rica has enough mountain biking routes to keep a serious biker rolling for years. "Andar en bici" or cycling as it is usually referred to by Costa Ricans is one of their favorite pastimes. No matter what corner of the country you tour through, you will always pass a uniformed cyclist along the way. One of the main reasons for the devotion to bicycling has been the long held tradition of the "Vuelta de Costa Rica" or Tour of Costa Rica the international race where top cyclists compete in differents stages around the country.
Mountain Biking became popular in Costa Rica in the beginning of the 90's. Since then this ever - growing sport draws enthusiastic fans to explore Costa Rica's world famous beauty. The sport has grown so popular among Costa Ricans, to the point that native Andres Brenes is ranked as the number one mountain biker of the Americas. This year he finished 15th in the World Championship in Switzerland and 10th in the World Cup.
If you are planning to visit Costa Rica and enjoy the outdoors, going on a bike tour is a great way not only to savor some of the country's different ecosystems (Costa Rica holds almost three fourths of the ecosystems available in the world), but also to meet friendly "ticos."
There are bike tour companies that combine the Costa Rica adventure experience with this exciting sport, either on or off the main road. Due to Costa Rica's tremendously varied terrain, trips are available for any skill level, from beginning to expert. Taking bicycle tours through the wilderness is an excellent way to come in close contact with many species of birds and other animals... carrying a camera is strongly recommended! Some tour companies even incorporate tours such as white-water rafting, sea kayaking, canopy tours and others to combine with biking adventures.
Mountain bikes can be rented at most resort towns, and several local companies offer mountain bike tours of the country's less visited areas, many of which are mellow enough for people who have not been on a bike for years.

Former England captain John Terry was found not guilty of racially abusing fellow player Anton Ferdinand on Friday after a five day case which cast a spotlight on racism in soccer and could have had a huge impact on his career.
The 31-year-old Chelsea captain, who earns a reported $231,100 a week, was in Westminster Magistrates' Court to hear chief magistrate Howard Riddle read his verdict.The high-profile case, focusing on foul language from both players during a Premier League game last October, triggered the resignation in February of England's Italian manager Fabio Capello after the FA decided to strip Terry of the captain's armband for Euro 2012. Terry had denied committing a racially aggravated public order offence when he had an expletive-littered exchange with Ferdinand on the field of play when Chelsea visited QPR's Loftus Road ground.
"The Chief Magistrate agreed that Mr Terry had a case to answer, but having heard all of the evidence he acquitted MrTerry of a racially aggravated offence"
Alison Saunders, Chief Crown Prosecutor
Although, in evidence, he admitted using the highly offensive words, he maintained he was sarcastically repeating what Ferdinand mistakenly thought he had said. During cross-examination, Ferdinand agreed he had sworn at players in the past and been on the receiving end himself. He said he was angry at Terry seeking a penalty call and there had been some barging on the pitch. He had also alluded to an alleged affair between the Chelsea player and the ex-girlfriend of former England team mate Wayne Bridge. Terry had been stripped of the England captaincy before the 2010 World Cup following those allegations. Allegations of racial abuse cast a shadow over the Premier League last season, with Liverpool's Luis Suarez banned for eight matches for abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra during another Premier League match last October. That case was dealt with by the English FA rather than going to court."The very serious allegation at the heart of this case was one of racial abuse. It was our view that this was not "banter" on the football pitch and that the allegation should be judged by a court," said Alison Saunders, Chief Crown Prosecutor for London."The Chief Magistrate agreed that Mr Terry had a case to answer, but having heard all of the evidence he acquitted Mr Terry of a racially aggravated offence. That is justice being done and we respect the Chief Magistrate's decision."

Shame, Guilt, and Suicide

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Summary and Conclusions
In this chapter, we've discussed the potential role of shame and guilt in both the causes and consequences of suicide. Theory and emerging empirical research indicates that feelings of shame are more prominent than guilt in the dynamics leading up to suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Nonetheless, experiences of shame often go unnoticed by both client and therapist in the therapeutic session (Lewis, 1971). Treatment of suicidal clients may be enhanced to the extent that therapists and other mental health professionals develop a 'third ear' for subtle markers of hidden shame experiences. The importance of considering shame and guilt in connection with suicide extends to the 'survivors' of suicide, as well. Although often overlooked, friends and family members are also vulnerable to experiences d shame and/or guilt in the aftermath of a loved one's suicide. Therapists, too, often experience similar emotional reactions that may be exacerbated by concerns Unique to their professional role as treatment providers.

Top 3 shoe trends for spring
- Written by Black Panther
Shoes like wedges, ankle straps, high boots, transparent heels, stilettos and loafers walked runway ramps that finally come down to high streets. But people love to wear according to trends or either according to their choices. Among those too many spring trends the top 3 that most people love to wear all day long are Wedges, Ankle Straps and Printed patterned shoes.
Ankle Straps:
Those strappy shoes look ultra feminine and do best paired with legging and skinny jeans. You can also wear those Ankle strap sandals with crop cigarette pants and long skirts. they come in many styles like wedges, simple sandals and pumps.
Wedges are perfect to wear all day long. If you don't love to wear stilettos any more than wedges give you the nicest solution. These are not only comfortable but also go good with many different style of dresses. Floral or collage printed wedges hit high streets while Micheal Kors gives you the solution to go sober with wedges.
Floral Patterns:
Spring's most hottest trend is floral prints. We always saw too many floral printed stuff for spring. Floral patterned shoes will be among the most hottest trend for spring 2013. They go perfect with denim pieces, pair nicely with beach outfits and with your skinny colored jeans. You can even pair your floral print top with a floral print shoes keeping one pieces plain in between.

Author(s): Debra Gordon RN, MS, FAAN
Background The preferred route of administration of analgesics for most patients in pain is oral (PO). Soluble tablets of morphine are available for sublingual (SL) administration in patients who are unable to swallow oral analgesics. The advantage of using SL morphine over intermittent IV boluses is a longer duration of action. An IV bolus may last only 1-2 hours, whereas SL morphine may provide relief for up to 4 hours.
Pharmacology Sublingual administration of morphine is often used to treat breakthrough pain in an attempt to hasten analgesic onset and peak; however, available data do not support more rapid absorption of morphine through the sublingual mucosa when compared with the oral route (1-3). Indeed, a number of clinical studies have found no substantial advantage to the use of SL morphine over oral morphine (4-6).
Formulation and Dosing There are several forms of short acting PO morphine available on the market. However, only the soluble tablets or the concentrated oral solution are suitable for SL use. Nonsoluble morphine sulfate immediate release (MSIR) tablets will not work because they are not soluble and will not liquefy under the tongue.
A usual starting dose for an opioid naïve patient is 5-30mg PO or SL every 3-4 hours. PO and SL doses are considered equianalgesic. The equianalgesic ratio of IV to PO morphine is 1:3 (10mg of IV morphine is approximately equianalgesic to 30mg PO/SL morphine).

Hello Ike, Excellent scan, and an outstanding piece of architecture here. I was in Barcelona four years ago and I remember this place. You did a great job taking this shot with so little distortion. Do you have a sore neck after taking this? Ha ha. Have a good week. Regards, Roger
dear Ike,
a wonderful view shot of the most famous construction 10 years ago,
maybe 10 years don't make any remarkable changing...
always it shows us beautiful and mystic figure,
your this POV is very nice.
in my feeling the crane is great, it is a magic hand of god indeed.
also in my feeling, you will be able to realize a little more clear colors by PP work after scanning,
(the blue of sky looks a little dark )
thank you for your wonderful shot,
Leconte (5795) 2010-03-22 0:34
Hello Ike,

Have a nice day!

kato (11630) 2014-01-10 17:46
Hello Ike,
You're capturing well this architecture by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see Segrade Familia by Antoni Gaudí. It looks like a novel building of Catholic basilica, although it's out of understanding to judge that it is masterpiece of modernism architecture for me. And, it harmonizes well with blue sky.
Kind regards,
mcmtanyel (12567) 2014-06-23 20:44
Hello Ike,
Interesting combination of cranes and elegant towers. I wonder if the structure has been finished by now.

Contact us for more information or advising.
The Professional Science Master of Biomedical Sciences degree is a rigorous one-year academic program. This master's degree requires 45-credit hours of course work and successful completion of the written and oral defense of a capstone project.
This master's degree requires 45-credit hours of classes and a capstone course and project. The curriculum includes 23 credit hours of required core courses and 22 credit hours of program-focused elective courses. The program director will meet individually with students to create and approve an individual plan of study. In collaboration with the director, students will select from a list of suggested elective courses. Courses outside of this list can be taken with approval of the director.
The capstone experience will include a program-specific, professional course, a project, and a scholarly presentation of that project. The capstone course, Advanced Applications in Sciences and Math in Biomedical Sciences, will incorporate lectures, guest speakers, and class discussions focusing on current biomedical and healthcare issues or concerns. In preparation for this course and their project, students will work with the program director and representative(s) from allied health professions, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, or private and public health services to identify the student's specific topic of interest. The student will submit a project proposal to the program director during the winter quarter. The capstone project will fulfill several specified criteria and guidelines as determined and outlined by the Program Director and Advisory Board. During the spring quarter, students will explore and research current knowledge in the field and develop potential solutions to the issue or concern outlined in their project proposal. The capstone experience will conclude by the student presenting a formal scholarly work (both written and oral) that reflects a student's individual interest, a topic of current interest in the biomedical and healthcare industries, and the integration of science with strong professional skills.

Hey guys and gals. I'm sitting on a freezer stocked with 1lb each of amarillo and centennial and smaller quantities of other hops and I am itchin' to brew soon. Any suggestions on successful recipes I could use either/both in high quantities for?
I'm thinking something with substantial malt backbone. Not a BIPA, but something hoppy like a malty DIPA. Got any ideas?
I just sampled a batch of Jamil's Evil Twin I brewed about 4 weeks ago - delicious.http://www.mrmalty.com/late_hopping.php It's hoppy, but quite malty as well.
Recipe from the link:
Recipe: Evil Twin
This beer ends up rich and malty, yet with a devilishly huge hop aroma and flavor. It is loosely based on AleSmith's delicious Evil Dead Red. Thanks to Peter Zien for his help with this recipe.
Ingredients for 6 U.S. gallons (23 liters)
Target Original Gravity: 1.066 (16.21 Plato)
Approximate Final Gravity: 1.016 (4.08 Plato)
Brewhouse Efficiency: 70%
Anticipated SRM: 17
Anticipated IBU: 23.8
Anticipated ABV: 6.66%
Wort Boil Time: 90 minutes
12 lb (5.44 kg) British Pale Malt 3L
1 lb (0.45 kg) Crystal 40L
1 lb (0.45 kg) Munich Malt 8L
0.50 lb (0.22 kg) Victory Malt 25L
0.50 lb (0.22 kg) Crystal 120L
0.25 lb (0.11 kg) Pale Chocolate Malt 200L
0.5 oz. (14 g) Centennial pellet hops, 10% alpha acid (20 min.) (6.4 IBU)
0.5 oz. (14 g) Amarillo pellet hops, 7% alpha acid (20 min.) (4.5 IBU)
1 oz. (28 g) Centennial pellet hops, 10% alpha acid (10 min.) (7.6 IBU)
1 oz. (28 g) Amarillo pellet hops, 7% alpha acid (10 min.) (5.3 IBU)
1 oz. (28 g) Centennial pellet hops, 10% alpha acid (0 min.) (0 IBU)
1 oz. (28 g) Amarillo pellet hops, 7% alpha acid (0 min.) (0 IBU)
Extract with specialty grains option: Using liquid malt extract, replace English Pale Malt with 8.75 lbs (3.97 kg) pale malt extract. Replace the Munich malt with 0.75 lbs. (0.34 kg) Munich malt extract. Using dry malt extract, replace English Pale Malt with 7 lbs (3.17 kg) pale malt extract. Replace the Munich malt with 0.50 lbs. (0.22 kg) Munich malt extract.
Yeast: A clean neutral yeast that attenuates in the mid-seventy percent range is perfect. White Labs WLP001 or Wyeast 1056 American Ale are excellent choices. A good dry yeast option is Fermentis Safale US-56. Ferment at 68F (20 C).
Directions: Single infusion mash at 154F (68C) using a ratio of 1.3 quarts water to 1 pound of grain. While you could go with a shorter boil, the 90 minute boil enhances the blood-red color. It also adds a touch more melanoidin and caramel notes. Cool the wort quickly after the last hop addition to retain as much hop aroma as possible. Optionally, dry hop with more Centennial or Amarillo if you're a real hop monster. Carbonate to no more than 2 volumes and serve at 45 to 55 F (7.2 to 12.8 C).
That sounds perfect. Did you end up dry hopping?
I didnt dry hop it, but probably will next time i brew this.

Ok, I'm finally getting around to brewing the Evil Twin on Monday. I'm using some harvested Bell's yeast.
