Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit. Henry David Thoreau

At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be infinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. Henry David Thoreau

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life... I wanted to live so sturdily and so Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life... to drive life into a corner to know it by experience and be able to give an account of it in my next excursion.

One farmer says to me, You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with; and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.

Polar Vortex Pays Return Visit to US
Submitted by HVACTech on Sun, 02/23/2014 - 21:30they are really getting desperate.
Weather experts say the United States is feeling the vortex because of rising global temperatures, reports U.S. News and World Report. Since the Earth is getting warmer, the temperature difference between the Arctic and the lower states is narrowing, said John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. As a result, the vortex pushes further south than normal.

the wonderful news is that this particular photo ~ led to us finding Bob Grant (the only son of Cpt. Grant and reunited with our long lost relative. Bob's brother was searching for information on the cemetery where Cpt. Grant was buried in France. He entered Leubringhen and the Ancient Faces photos I had posted came up. Not knowing who this Beth Best was or who the people were placing the Canadian Flag on his grave - he called his brother Bob Grant and he in turn, called me. What a phone call. We did get to meet his Mother (my long-lost Aunt) and we eventually met in Ontario. The meeting was truly meant to be.

Their work is often branded too racy or "un-Islamic," and banned. But Saudi filmmakers persist.
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — For six months, movie-lover Mamdouh Salem devoted his waking hours to what he affectionately calls his "child."
He recruited sponsors, arranged advertising, rented hotel rooms, organized workshops and sent out invitations to scores of young filmmakers, directors and fans for the fourth annual Jeddah Film Festival.
But on the eve of the festival, as Salem made last-minute checks to the red carpet and sound system, he got an urgent call from a city official with a heart-stopping message: The Ministry of Interior has ordered the event canceled. "I was shocked," Salem, 33, said softly. "I sat down, silent."
For most of the night and the next morning, he was on the phone. "I had to inform everybody," he recalled. "Some people were already in their hotels in Jeddah, others were getting on flights at airports."
The festival's abrupt halting last July underscored the arbitrary limits to the greater social freedom that Saudis have enjoyed in recent years — especially when it comes to that most sensitive of cultural touchstones: movies.
This is the only country in the world where commercial movie theaters are banned — a prohibition arising from the austere version of Islam propagated by its influential religious establishment.
These clerics and their supporters regard films as "evil" because they distract people from religion and spread "corruption," meaning un-Islamic habits such as people drinking alcohol, taking drugs and freely interacting with the opposite sex.
Much like the ban on female drivers, movie theaters have become another highly visible Rubicon that the clerical establishment, and its powerful allies in government, insist must not be crossed.
Despite this hostile environment, an indigenous film-making scene is taking shape. It is fed by cinemaphiles like Abdulamusin Al Mutairi, 29, who has made three shorts, including "Dream," which is about the trials of a Christian female expatriate working in the kingdom.
He chose the topic "because we talk about everything except people who have a different religion from us," he said. "They live here and nobody cares about their story."
Mutairi, who wears his long dark hair slicked back and has a day job overseeing medical supplies at a hospital, once flew all the way to New Zealand to attend a film festival. His favorite director is Quentin Tarantino.

Mathematical Beliefs and Conceptual Understanding of the Limit of a Function
Jennifer Earles Szydlik
In this study, I investigated 27 university calculus students' mathematical beliefs and connections between those beliefs and their understandings of limit. Participants were selected on the basis of questionnaire and interview responses to real-number, infinity, function, and sources-of-conviction items. Data obtained in a subsequent limit interview suggest a relationship between sources of conviction and understanding of limit; students with external sources of conviction gave more incoherent or inappropriate definitions of limit, held more misconceptions of limit as bound or unreachable, and were less able to justify limit calculations than those with internal sources of conviction. The influence of content beliefs on understanding of limit is less evident.
Achievement Results for Second and Third Graders Using the Standards-Based Curriculum Everyday Mathematics
Karen C. Fuson, William M. Caroll, Jane V. Drueck
Students using Everyday Mathematics (EM), developed to incorporate ideas from the NCTM Standards, were at normative U.S. levels on multidigit addition and subtraction symbolic computation on traditional, reform-based, and EM-specific test items. Heterogeneous EM 2nd graders scored higher than middle- to upper-middle-class U.S. traditional students on 2 number sense items, matched them on others, and were equivalent to a middle-class Japanese group. On a computation test, the EM 2nd graders outperformed the U.S. traditional students on 3 items involving 3-digit numbers and were outperformed on the 6 most difficult test items by the Japanese children. EM 3rd graders outscored traditional U.S. students on place value and numeration, reasoning, geometry, data, and number-story items.
Steering (Dis)Course Between Metaphors and Rigor: Using Focal Analysis to Investigate an Emergence of Mathematical Objects
Anna Sfard
This study deals with students' construction of mathematical objects. The basic claim is that the need for communication--any attempt to evoke certain actions by others--is the primary driving force behind all human cognitive processes. Effectiveness of verbal communication is seen as a function of the quality of its focus. Material objects may serve as a basis for creation of such a focus, but in some discourses, focus-engendering objects must be created. Such discursive construction is observed in analysis of one classroom episode. Special attention is given to metaphor, which is the point of departure for the construction process, and to the subsequent dialectical process of closing the gap between the metaphor-induced expectations and the need for a well-defined construction procedure to ensure effective communication.
Effects of Standards-Based Mathematics Education: A Study of the Core-Plus Mathematics Project Algebra and Functions Strand
Mary Ann Huntley, Chris L. Rasmussen, Roberto S. Villarubi, Jaruwan Sangtong, James T. Fey
To test the vision of Standards–based mathematics education, we conducted a comparative study of the effects of the Core-Plus Mathematics Project (CPMP) curriculum and more conventional curricula on growth of student understanding, skill, and problem-solving ability in algebra. Results indicate that the CPMP curriculum is more effective than conventional curricula in developing student ability to solve algebraic problems when those problems are presented in realistic contexts and when students are allowed to use graphing calculators. Conventional curricula are more effective than the CPMP curriculum in developing student skills in manipulation of symbolic expressions in algebra when those expressions are presented free of application context and when students are not allowed to use graphing calculators.
The Affective and Cognitive Dimensions of Math Anxiety: A Cross-National Study
Hsiu-Zu Ho, Deniz Senturk, Amy G. Lam, Judes M. Zimmer, Sehee Hong, Yukari Okamoto, Sou-Yung Chiu, Yasuo Nakazawa, Chang-Pei Wang
In this study we focus on math anxiety, comparing its dimensions, levels, and relationship with mathematics achievement across samples of 6th-grade students from China, Taiwan, and the United States. The results of confirmatory factor analyses supported the theoretical distinction between affective and cognitive dimensions of math anxiety in all 3 national samples. The analyses of structural equation models provided evidence for the differential predictive validity of the 2 dimensions of math anxiety. Specifically, across the 3 national samples, the affective factor of math anxiety was significantly related to mathematics achievement in the negative direction. Gender by nation interactions were also found to be significant for both affective and cognitive math anxiety.

Admiral Richard Byrd
When you come out of the subway at Arlington you head up Memorial Drive, you will pass some monuments before you get into the Cemetery proper.
Admiral Richard Byrd (1888-1957) was a member of a prominent Virginia planter family. Members of his family had been active in colonial politics and one had even served as governor.
Byrd graduated the US Naval Academy in 1912. Though he was medically retired in 1916 he continued to serve in the Navy in several assignments. He is best known for being a polar explorer. A distinguished aviator, he is credited with flying over the North Pole in 1926, though there is some dispute about that based on the exact location of the Pole.
He later led 4 expeditions to Antarctica, the last one being in 1955-6.- Historical Travel

101st Airborne Division Memorial
The 101st Airborne Division, also known as the Screaming Eagles, has a memorial on Memorial Drive, just outside the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery. Technically, memorials on this street are overseen by the Department of the Interior.
The Screaming Eagles, based in Ft Campbell, Kentucky are one of the most decorated units. They served on D-day in World War II, The Battle of the Bulge, Vietnam, the Gulf War and the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.- National/State Park

Belvior Mansion & Gravesite, Fort Belvoir
After George Washington moved to Mount Vernon, his closest neighbor, both in distance and friendship, was Colonel William Fairfax, who built and resided at Belvoir Plantation on a bluff overlooking the Potomac. William Fairfax was the grandson of the 4th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, and his bother Thomas was the 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron.
William Fairfax first lived in the Colonies in Marblehead, Massachusetts, but he moved to Virginia in the 1730s to oversee his bother Thomas' vast quantities of land. In 1741 William Fairfax construct Belvoir Plantation, an elegant mansion with splendid views of the River and into Maryland. William Fairfax had a tremendous political career, serving in such positions as President of the Governor's Council in Williamsburg, member of the House of Burgesses, Justice of the County Court, and as County Lieutenant.
William's bother, Thomas Fairfax, the 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, lived at Belvoir for a few years before he moved to the Winchester, Virginia area. He was the first member of British nobility to live in America, and he employed George Washington as a surveyor of his lands.
During the American Revolution the mansion was confiscated by the fledgling American government. In 1783, fire destroyed much of the mansion and its surrounding buildings. In 1814, during the War of 1812, the mansion ruins were further damaged when bombarded by the British fleet that was part of the force that captured Washington DC. Finally in 1917 the ruins of the house and the surrounding lands were acquired by Virginia and ceded to the US Army, forming today's Fort Belvoir. The obelisk monument at the family grave site was constructed in the 1920s as well. In 1931 the fort's commanding officer began the first archeological dig at the old house. In the 1970s a three-year archeological dig culminated in the site being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
The Belvoir Mansion site is located at a very poorly marked site on Fort Belvoir, Virginia. From the main gate, take Belvoir Road several miles to its end and turn right on Fairfax Drive. Where Fairfax Drive meets Forney Loop, there is a small parking area that sits at the trailhead for the mansion trail. The trail is well-marked with many interpretive signs. The total distance from the parking lot to the grave site is only about a quarter mile, and the house is located at the halfway point wjust above the river. -
Navy-Merchant Marine Memorial
World War I Navy-Merchant Marine Memorial on in Lady Bird Johnson Park on Columbia Island in Lady Bird Johnson Park. Though located in DC it is only accessible from George Washington Parkway in Arlington, Virginia, and even then, only in the westbound direction (as of 2009 the parking area is closed for renovations).
The 35 foot tall, 30 foot wide monument is dedicated to the US sailors who died at sea during World War I. It was designed in 1922 and dedicated in 1934. The design is of seven seagulls in flight over an aluminum wave.
An inscription on the memorial reads:
"To the strong souls and ready valor of those men of the United States who in the Navy, the Merchant Marine and other paths of Activity upon the waters of the world have given life or still offer it in the performance of heroic deeds this monument is dedicated by a grateful people." -
Crystal City Water Park
Crystal City Water Park is a tiny oasis in busy Cristal City. The park's main feature is the huge waterfall, topped by a tranquil pool, and surrounded by beautiful flowers in the warmer months. Here there are plenty of chairs and benches for relaxing or enjoying a picnic lunch, grab a snow cone, or one of the weekly summer outdoor concerts.
The area was once just railroad tracks, but in the 1990s the railroad was moved to make room for more high rise buildings. Luckily they preserved a slice of nature here along the railroad. The Virginia Railway Express Station is right beside the park at Crystal Drive & 15th Street. Just across the street is one of the main entrances to the Cristal City underground mall. -
Fort Ethan Allen - near the Chain Bridge
Fort Ethan Allen was an earthwork fort in Arlington, Virginia. It was built by the Union Army in 1861 as part of the defense of Washington during the American Civil War. The remains of the fort, a portion of the earthen walls, now overgrown, are now part of Fort Ethan Allen Park. The historic fort is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as a Historic District by Arlington County.
There was no military action at Fort Ethan Allen throughout the Civil War; the only attack on Washington-area forts was at Fort Stevens, north of the city, in 1864. Perhaps the most memorable wartime occurrence at Fort Ethan Allen was a visit by President Abraham Lincoln, one of the few visits to a Washington fort he ever made.
Fort Ethan Allen Park covers about 15 acres and has just a basketball court, a playground, a canine area, and a gazebo. The park is adjacent to the Madison Community Center and Glebe Road Park.
Fort Ethan Allen is named after the Revolutionary War hero from Vermont named Ethan Allen. He gained fame in the Battle of Ticonderoga, and also helped Vermont gain independence from British colonies in New Hampshire and New York and ensured it was able to become the 14th state of the US. -
Civil War History in Arlington
During the Civil War, a massive ring of fortifications protected Washington, D.C., from attack, including forts in Arlington, Alexandria, and the city of Washington, DC. By 1865, the entire system of defenses of Washington included 68 forts, 93 batteries, and some twenty miles of trenches. More then 30 miles of military roads connected these strong for communications and transportation purposes. Today just a few of the largest structures are still in existence and open to the public.
In Arlington, two of those structures—Fort Ethan Allen and Fort C.F. Smith—have been preserved as historic districts. There are also other trenches, earthworks and historic markers visible throughout the town. In total Arlington had 22 forts; as you drive around the county you will constantly see historic markers pointing out these interesting relics. I have visited many of these sites including Fort CF Smith, Fort Ethan Allen, and Fort Haggarty (Rosslyn).
On the edge of Alexandria lies Fort Ward, one of dozens of Civil War forts that formed a ring around the city of Washington to protect the capitol of the nation. It was built in in 1861, and while many of the area's forts have been lost to development, 90 percent of the original earthworks remain, and one of the bastions has been completely restored with replica guns. The most famous part of the fort is the white wooden gate that was also rebuilt in the 1960s. This is said to be the best preserved of all of the DC forts, and it is the only fort with a museum.
Fort Stevens was the only Washington DC area fort to face battle in the Civil War. It was constructed during the Civil War to defend Washington DC's northern approaches. In 1864, with the Army of Northern Virginia taking a pounding at Richmond, General Robert E. Lee decided to invade the north for the third and final time (the first culminated with the battle of Antietam, MD, and the second ended in disaster at Gettysburg, PA). A 20,000 man unit, under command of General Jubal Early invaded Maryland and defeated a Union force under General Lew Wallace at the battle of Monocacy Creek in Frederick, MD. Early then moved to Washington DC and attacked at Fort Stevens, just miles from the White House. On July 12, 1864, a day-long battle took place at Fort Stevens, with the Union victorious, ending the Confederate advance. During the battle, President Lincoln arrived at the Fort and watched the action, making him the only US President to ever be present at a battle and under fire while in office. Fort Stevens is located at 13th and Quackenbos Streets, NW. There is not much at the site, except for some partially reconstructed walls and a few cannon. It is a nice park for a walk or a picnic. -
Fort CF Smith
Fort C.F. Smith Park is a small 19-acre nature and historic area that includes thick trees, a meadow, the Hendry House and earthworks of a Civil War fort that was used for the defense of Washington DC.
Fort C.F. Smith was built by the Union Army in 1863. This was part of the ring of forts that surrounded Washington and included Fort Stevens, the only one of these forts to witness a battle. Fort F.C.F. Smith formed part of the Arlington Line and was built to protect the nearby Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The fort faced to the south and west, and it had two bastions in the rear protect it from attack from the Potomac River side. Today the remaining earthwork trenches of Fort C.F. Smith are considered the best preserved ruins of the 22 forts that were created in Arlington during the war. The remaining historical artifacts from the fort include the bomb proof, the well, the north magazine, and 11 of the fort's 22 gun emplacements. Two cannons stand guard to remind visitors what the fort might have looked like 145 years ago, with many more trees today of course.
After the Civil War ended this property was sold back to private hands and many changes took place. Today, the Hendry House stands alongside the fort, as well as a cottage/tractor barn, a farm shed, and a bank barn. The bank barn is considered the oldest building in the park, dating back to just after the Civil War. The main house is said to have been moved to this site a around 1901, then modified in 1924 and 1988. It is called the Hendry house because it was owned by Dr. Ernest S. Hendry from 1927 until 1994 when it was acquired by Arlington County. Today the beautiful house is used for conferences, weddings, and other events.
There is a 1/2 mile trail with a short walking tour covering the historic sites and the natural sites in the park. Some of the key nature locations include the Ornamental Peace Garden with its unique trees such as the Japanese Raisin Tree, Ginko, Bottle-Brush Buckeye, English Walnut and Royal Paulownia, as well as the tiny, man-made Bird Creek near the meadow that attracts a variety of birds. -
Arlington Cemetery: Audie Murphy's Grave
Audie Murphy was one of America's most highly decorated soldiers of World War II, earning the Congressional Medal of Honor and 32 other US and foreign medals and citations. He fought in North Africa, Salerno, Anzio, Rome, southern France, and eastern France, all before the age of 21. Later he wrote his wartime memoirs called To Hell and Back, starred in some 40 movies, and even enjoyed a mildly successful country music career. He died in a plane crash in 1971 at the young age of 46.
Murphy's grave is located next to the Memorial Amphitheater and is said to be the second most visited grave in Arlington. -
Arlington Cemetery: Abner Doubleday's Grave
Abner Doubleday was a Colonel in the regular army and a temporary, brevet Major General throughout the Civil War. He fought in the Mexican-American War, the Seminole Wars, the Civil War, and later Indian Wars. During the Civil War, where he achieved most of his fame, he is known to have fired the first Northern shot at Fort Sumter, the war's first battle, and he fought at Second bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. After the war, he is credited with patenting the famous San Francisco cable cars that are still in operation today. Later he became President of the American body of the Theosophical Society, a religious organization, and he wrote Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie (1876), and Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (1882).
Not enough fame for one man?
OK, he does have another small invention credited to him. He is said to have created the modern American game of baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839. Cooperstown is also home to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Many experts are skeptical of Doubleday's connection to baseball's roots, but most Americans tend to believe this legend. Interestingly enough, his tomb makes no mention of Doubleday's greatest claim to fame. -
Netherlands Carillon
The Netherlands Carillon was presented to the United States as a gift from the Dutch people in recognition of American support in World War II. The first bell was presented from the Queen of the Netherlands in 1952, as a symbol of the coming gift. The original carillon and its 49 bells were placed at Hains Point Park, often a temporary stopover for small memorials, and the permanent tower was completed at the present site near the Marine Corps Monument in 1960. It was formally dedicated on May 5, 1960, which was also the 15th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands during WWII. The 50th bell was presented on the 50th anniversary of the Netherlands' liberation from the Nazis.
The ugly black square steel tower stands 127 feet high and is flanked by two bronze lions. Thousands of beautiful tulips are planted in front of the bell tower.
The bells play regularly and sound beautiful. Eighteen of the bells are programmed to automatically play a variety of songs such as the US National Anthem, the Netherlands National Anthem, the four US Armed Forces Anthems, America The Beautiful, and even Yankee Doodle and Auld Lang Syne at appropriate times of the year.
Concerts are also presented on Saturdays from May through September (2-4 p.m. in May and September and 6-8 p.m. in June, July, and August). During these times, the tower is open for visitors to climb and see the glass-enclosed playing cabin that is operated like an organ.
An inscription reads:
So many voices in our troubled world are still unheard.
From the People of the Netherlands to the People of the United States. -
Gravelly Point Park - near Reagan National Airport
Gravelly Point Park is located due north of Regan National Airport along the northbound lanes of the George Washington Parkway. The park offers a great view of airplanes flying in and out of Regan and also gives access to the great Mount Vernon running trail along the Potomac. Furthermore, Gravelly Point has athletic fields suitable for soccer, football and baseball, all along the beautiful Potomac River.
Great Falls Park & Patowmack Canal
At Great Falls Park, the Potomac River tumbles over a series of steep rocks and drops nearly 80 feet in less than a mile through the narrow Mather Gorge. Great Falls Park was created around the southern side of the park, and it provides many opportunities to experience history and nature, in a scenic 800-acre park 15 miles from Washington DC. The park has three viewing platforms with vantage points overlooking the falls, and the National Park Service operates a visitor center next to the falls.
the Patowmack Canal around the Potomac River, was built from 1785 until 1803. It consisted of a series of five locks, on the Virginia side of the river, that raised or lowered boats around the falls. George Washington was a strong proponent of the project as it was a way to expand American influence to the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys. This was the first canal in the US to use locks. This one mile canal had five locks and was opened in 1785.
The canal construction centered around a town called Matildaville. This town was founded by Harry Light Horse Lee (Robert E. Lee's father) and it served as a home for many of the canal builders.
Entrance is $5.00 for a three-day vehicle pass, or $3 for an individual pass. The park has annual passes, and it accepts the National Parks/Interagency Pass which is good at most USDA Forest Service, National Parks Service, US Fish & Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management sites.
Access the park by exiting Interstate 495 (the Capital Beltway) at Georgetown Pike (Virginia Route 193) and head west 3 miles (4.5 km) to Old Dominion Drive. From there follow the signs north 1 mile (1.5 km) to the park entrance.

All we were looking for in Provo was a functional, inexpensive place to spend the night on our way from the canyon country of southern Utah back to the Salt Lake City airport, where we had late-morning flights out the next day. The price at the Passport Inn & Suites was right, especially for a room with two king-sized beds, but I should have looked at some of the other reviews more carefully.
I can't remember when I've stayed in a seedier or more run-down motel. Holes in the walls (one of which was painted a lurid shade of dark green), broken lampshades, dirty carpets, grungy-looking linens -- you name it. We spread our own t-shirts over the pillowcases, not really trusting their cleanliness. The blankets were also much too narrow (clearly intended for double or at most queen, barely reaching the edges of the bed), thus negating the value of having king-sized beds. The one redeeming aspect of our stay was the meal we ate at El Mexsal Restaurant around the corner -- the Salvadorian pupusas were a treat.
Front Desk Lady
The Shower was broken made it very hard to take a shower I had to use a cup to pour water on myself and the TV remote did not work
The man at the front desk was very helpful. He let my Son stay while he waited for the rest of us to come even though we didn't arrive until after midnight.
We reserved a room with two king beds which the manager gave away a few hours before our arrival, because he couldn't get ahold of us (we were driving). He later provided rooms, for an additional amount, which were not very clean. At one point I noticed the remote for the TV wasn't working. I went down to the front desk and told the lady what the problem was. She rummaged around a drawer and pulled out four more batteries that looked equally used and which didn't work.
The staff was pleasant. When I noticed the room did not have an alarm clock and I needed to be up early in the morning, they provided me with one (they explained the rooms did not have alarm clocks because most people used their cell phones). The room was clean. There was a TV, a microwave and a fridge. Although I dd not use any of these, it was nice that they were there.
Ever hotel room I have stayed in for man years has been equipped with an alarm clock. Not everyone has a cell phone with an alarm. When I checked out and was asked if the bed was comfortable, I said it was, even though I had to use my mountain climbing equipment to get into it. The bed was very high, which I did not like. I am used to sitting on the edge of the bed to get dressed in the morning. Couldn't do that here. The rooms were very spartan. It would be nice to have a picture or two on the walls. There were only 3 hangers, which was fine, since I was just staying one nigh. Had I been staying longer, I would have wanted more. Most motels nowadays provide breakfast. I stayed at a hotel in Boise, Idaho a couple of years ago that provided a great breakfast and the cost was much less than this one. Even just toast and juice, or a waffle iron with a pitcher of batter would do if they don't want to go all out. I'm sure it would increase the ratings of this motel.
no elevators no ice machine in 100 degree weather a/c not working
Not much... the price maybe
There were holes in the walls, the floor was dirty, the lights were falling off the walls and the hairdrier was burned...
Price, you get what you pay for.
Finding hairs in the bathroom before upon arrival.
That motel is filthy and should be taken of your list. It is the proverbial "dive"
Pillows were cheap, small, uncomfortable (not firm) and even one pillow case had foot prints (someone definitely stepped on it and never replaced that pillow cover). I called room service, telephone rung forever but no one answered.
Under construction, stated when we would arrive when booking but room was not ready and we were a few hours after the time I had stated. Poor job in cleaning up after workers left. Told bedding would be changed due to sawdust from drilling in room but it was not just swept up.
It was awful. Filthy. Gob of hair under pillow. Dirty floor. Accumulation of grime along floor edges. Broken hot water knob on bathroom sink.
The workers that were remodeling the place were nice, friendly and helpful.
Linens and bedspread looked dirty. Towels looked soiled, tv was old, no ice, soda machine didn't work.
The amenities in my room. I like having a microwave and mini fridge as much as the wifi and cable. The quality of my towels were nice.
In serious need of Décor help. Use the name Passport Inn and be a little more creative in the decorating of the rooms.
The room was very dirty (stained couch which was covered with a sheet and the bed spread had red stains on the back side of the bed spread and it was very unacceptable. I requested a non smoking room, when I arrived the door was wide open and it wreak a cigarette smoke
The King beds were new and very comfortable. There was a diner close by. It was easy to find.
This room was dirty and needed a good general cleaning of floors, doors, and baseboards. The blankets had not been laundered and had stuff stuck to them and the floor under the beds had debris. We had to ask for supplies to be stocked in the room.
The Passport Inn was clean, very comfortable and quiet. Anything we needed was a short walk or easy drive. They were currently renovating the rooms and doing a fabulous job! Our room was partially renovated. So ,we could get a good idea what the completed rooms would be like. I have no reason to stay anywhere else in Provo. There is a diner next door. Breakfast was excellent.
There is nothing to dislike.
1) Desk clerk was very helpful and friendly 2) Frig and microwave a plus
1) Room could use more than one chair, and a place to hang clothes 2) Bedside lamp didn't work
Room service came in before we had checked out and walked in on us changing :)
I made reservations online to stay Friday, March 7, 2014 through Monday March 10, 2014. I received the key to room 208 upon check-in. I went to the room to find it in deplorable condition. There are phone wires hanging off the wall to the right by the window. There are chips in the sheetrock. There is a musty smell and bubbled tape on the ceiling from what looks to be water damage. The outlet immediately to the left of the door near the floor is broken and burned on top. The heater looks to have been kicked in and also looks like it has been on fire. I went down tot he desk to ask for a different room. I ended up checking into rooms 209,210, 211, and 212. ALL of them had similar issues as well as crumbs of sheetrock dropping from the ceiling. I refused to stay there and went to another property for lodging. They still want to charge me for one night, which I am contesting. Do not waste your time or your money.
paint peeling from walls no covers on some light fixtures and wall plugs. tv remote did not work
Good price. Location.
There was a funky smell. Where the smoke alarm should have been, there were wires coming out of the wall.
The location was handy for what I needed.
The ceiling had leaked and was falling in. The TV did not work - none of the remotes functioned. The bed had plastic on it that made it very hot and sweaty in the night. The bathroom had mildew around the tub. There was hair on my pillow. The towels and bedding were old, holey and stained. The desk attendant tried to let us pay but the credit card machine didn't work so it was completed later. Huge gap around the door that let lots of light into the room.
We arrived there after a gruelling trip from Canada in very poor weather. The room was unbelievable in that the bathtub was filthy with black all around the edges. The bed was so poorly made. The smoke alarm wiring was hanging from the ceiling and not connected. Very unsafe. If we had not been so tired, we would have moved on, but because of the weather, it was difficult. We feel like we need some reimbursement for this accommodation. Please do not recommend it to anyone!! Rhea & Carl Parsons

I recently caught with some fiction reading and found myself enthralled by World War Z, written by Max Brooks, on a subject that is often considered retarded – the zombie apocalypse. I fancied this zombie stuff so much that I've slotted Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" as the next book to read as soon as I get the time to read some more. Trust me, it's anything but stupid – being satirical in nature and taking digs at modern governments as we speak. The accounts are so realistic that it makes me wonder how brilliant Mel Brooks' son is. Speaking of retarded, I also remember a Facebook comment about zombies not fancying religious people, in the event of a zombie apocalypse, based on the premise that these folk have no brains. And there might be a lot of truth in that, considering the fact that my brother being autistic, seems to make more sense than these religious zealots these days. And speaking of sense and autism, there's been some speculation over whether gluten autism exists – in other words, whether there's a link between the consumption of gluten and autism. Does The Gluten Autism Link Exist? Known as the gluten-free/ casein-free diet or the GFCF diet, it was based on an observation by a Norwegian doctor who noticed that celiac children also had psychiatric issues. In conducting tests, he found that autistic children on a diet of gluten and casein based foods processed the protein and peptides differently from normal children. He concluded that this difference further aggravated the autistic symptoms as the brain treats these proteins as opiate-like chemicals that caused them to act in a certain way. But that was not all – based on his finding, he recommended that the social and cognitive skills as well as speech of an autistic child would improve greatly if autistic children went on a diet that excluded foods with gluten and casein. However, there was another hitch even if this were true – the GFCF diet was too restrictive. As for the validity of the research conducted, there was merit in the findings of the doctor, as experiments have revealed that the peptide levels were abnormally high in autistic children. With that said, there is still controversy that surrounds the effectiveness of a GFCF diet as scientific trials are not possible due to the fact that it isn't possible to eliminate all traces of gluten and casein. Of course, this diet wouldn't have caught on if a number of parents didn't notice an improvement in their child when trying this recommendation. In fact, there are a number of newsletters and websites that promotes the GFCF diet, much to the chagrin of many professionals in the medical community. So, if you wish to try gluten free casein free diet with your child, make sure you speak with a doctor. Not only can you make food at home, you can also find restaurants that offer foods without these "nutrients". With that said, here is an article that reveals whether the GFCF diet works, and which was conducted at the University of Rochester. In Closing So, is there a link between gluten autism ? Have you tried the GFCF diet for your child? Or have you heard about its success from parents with autistic children? If so, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below. Also, here is an article on celiac children . |

McMinnville is blessed with many highly trained and experienced individuals that hired staff for local, state and even national organizations during their careers.
I hope the Council doesn't follow the example of Newberg and involve a head hunter via the Council of Governments. Using local folks with be much more cost effective and engaging to our community.
etc. The individuals management and leadership style needs to fit community
personality. Our City has been very fortunate with the first 2, and I hope good
judgement prevails throughout the interview process. Conservative fiscal
management is a must. So, many factors are the focus throughout the process.

text: Social Lithium reportedly shells out $200M to gain Klout Image Credit: Ged Carroll/Flickr March 26, 2014 4:20 PM Jordan Novet Social media-ranking company Klout apparently lacked sufficient clout to remain standing. Social media-marketing company Lithium Technologies has bought Klout for about $200 million, according to a report today from Fortune that cited two anonymous sources. A Lithium spokesman declined to confirm the deal to VentureBeat, saying only that Lithium will hold a press conference in San Francisco tomorrow morning. Re/code reported last month that a Lithium-Klout deal had been signed but not closed. Klout did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It's unclear if the deal will result in the integration of Klout's scoring with Lithium's software, which competes with the likes of Jive Software and Salesforce.com. Lithium announced in September that it had taken on a $50 million round of funding. Klout, based in San Francisco, began in 2008. Since then, some people have criticized it or questioned the value of the social-influence score Klout provided for users of social networks. Klout reported a "strong" round of funding in January 2012. Investors include Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield, & Byers, Greycroft Partners, Paige Craig, FF Asset Management, Howard Lindzon, and Thomas McInerney.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
US/PAKISTAN- 'China lends us; we give to Pak; Pak makes nukes'

US lawmakers have questioned the Barack Obama [ Images ] administration's move to give billions in dollars in aid to Pakistan and said Islamabad [ Images ] continues to build on its nuclear stockpile and support the Taliban [ Images ].
"We borrow from China; give to Pakistan; Pakistan creates nuclear weapons," Congressman Dan Rohrabacher bluntly asked as he posed questions to the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [ Images ] on US aid to Pakistan.
Instead, one of its diplomats is under arrest in violation of the Vienna [ Images ] Convention, the lawmakers bluntly told Clinton at a Congressional hearing.
"Pakistan must do more to meet the pressing United States concerns, including the release of Raymond Davis, our detained American diplomat, and shifting its approach to Afghanistan away from armed proxies and toward constructive and legitimate political partners," Congresswoman, Ilena Ros-Lehtinen, the Chairwoman of the powerful House Foreign Relations Committee, said.
"Pakistan has received billions of dollars worth of aid; yet they have a US citizen, Raymond Davis, who is now being held and is under very questionable circumstances. Are we going to demand -- are we going to still give our money away to people who support the Taliban and put our intelligence assets at risk," he asked.
Clinton, on her part, strongly defended the administration's decision to provide aid to Pakistan and argued that Pakistan is one of the most important investment for the United States.
Clinton said the Obama administration is working very hard in order to achieve the release of Davis.
"It's one of our highest priorities across our government. We do believe that the combination of military and civilian aid that we have pursued with Pakistan is in America's interests," she said.
Earlier in her prepared testimony, Clinton said in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Al Qaeda [ Images ] is under pressure as never before.
"Alongside our military offensive, we are engaged in a major civilian effort that is helping to build up the governments, economies and civil societies of both countries and undercut the insurgency," she said.
"Now these two surges, the military and civilian surge, set the stage for a third, a diplomatic push in support of an Afghan process to split the Taliban from Al Qaeda, bring the conflict to an end and help stabilize the region," Clinton said.
"Our military commanders are emphatic. They cannot succeed without a strong civilian partner. Retreating from our civilian surge in Afghanistan with our troops still in the field would be a grave mistake," she said.
"Equally important is our assistance to Pakistan, a nuclear-armed nation with strong ties and interests in Afghanistan. We are working to deepen our partnership and keep it focused on addressing Pakistan's political and economic challenges, as well as our shared threats," Clinton said.

Rútur's Workshop
327 West 85th Street, New York. There one can find the workshop of one Rútur Egilson. Pictured is the main workshop. Here, one can find plenty of materials and equipment for any technological problem that they may come across. There's even a gigantic fan. It gets pretty warm in the workshop, especially in the summer. On the wall are framed posters of different superheroes, with a poster of Ulfberht holding the place of honour above Rútur's work desk. Scattered around the workshop are several toolboxes carrying plenty of tools, just in case one Rútur is using breaks. There's also a first aid station next to Rútur's desk, just in case. This is just one part of the workshop. There's one area of the shop not many have seen, particularly if they don't fight crime.
Something For The Cape-n'-Tights Crowd
Though constantly cluttered, this secret chamber is a tiny bit more sophisticated than the workshop the public sees. His father's super friends assisted in putting together this "super-workshop". It is down here that Rútur does most of his inventing. There's a firing area against one wall for testing weapons, a mannequin, should he ever wish to attempt making a suit of armour, and various bits of more advanced machinery donated from Ulfberht and his techie pals. Two mobile robotic arms named "Hugin" and "Munin" aid Rútur in his work down here. There are no posters down here, just a picture of Ulfberht with his arm around a younger Rútur. There's all sorts of sensitive technology around, most of it in pieces, not to mention...a mini-bar! Being a mechanic is thirsty work, after all.
Home Is Where The Heart Is
Above the workshop, Rútur has a studio apartment, decorated to resemble his family home in Iceland. It's got all the standard parts of an apartment: living area, kitchen, dining area, bedroom (which doubles as a study) and bathroom. A large bookshelf lines the wall adjacent to the kitchen, full of novels and boxes of comics old and new. An organised DVD rack is positioned above the TV. The fridge can be found by the kitchen, and is filled with food and drink. Rútur has attempted to make the apartment seem welcoming for any visitors.

Talk:Rose Is Rose
WikiProject Comics / Strips | (Rated Start-class, Mid-importance) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At 20 years old and with the cartoonist having won a prestigious award, I think this article deserves some attention. There's plenty of material to work with. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 17:46, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- I expanded the article based on what I could remember of the strip's most notable themes. This is off the top of my head, so there may be inaccuracies that need to be revised.
- Willbyr 21:21, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone else think this statement's too POV? "The strip is unlike Blondie or For Better or For Worse in that the strip does not focus on the wife as title or main character, and the husband is not hen-pecked but is the undisputed family leader." I don't think there is much difference between these strips as far as the wives and husbands are concerned. And surely John Patterson in FBOFW is not henpecked or he's as henpecked as Jimbo is in RIR. --Chris S. 20:42, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Tags Removed[edit]
The article has sufficient depth and bredth now. Expansion tag removed. Z4ns4tsu 19:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- I also removed the "clean up" tag. If you still feel this article requires clean-up, put a note here and explain what needs to be done. Z4ns4tsu 19:24, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Date begun?[edit]
The article on creator Pat Brady currently says the strip started syndication in 1983. This article says the strip started in 1984. Which is correct? InnocuousPseudonym 07:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Author change?[edit]
It says that since 2004 the comic strip is drawn by Don Wimmer; however, any information why this change happened is missing from both, the "Rose is Rose" article and Pat Brady's article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 08:59, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
I remember when this happened. Pat himself wanted to retire, but didn't want to end the strip. I know that he still had a fair amount of creative input for the first year or two after the handoff. I don't know how involved he is anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:19, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

The boutique line of flavored bitters from Leopards + Lions will be a great introduction to spicing up your drinks with flavors like Orange Cardamom, Cherry Burdock and Peach Marigold.

Which is to say: often, easily and with great success.
We're all for the ultralight approach to outdoor adventure. Packing light helps keep you focused on the action, but there is such a thing as packing too light. Like, if you're being stalked by a rogue mountain lion and all you're carrying is a goo shot and a rape whistle, you're bumming. But, if you've got this featherweight titanium-coated knife in your fannypack, you might just make it back home to tell the tale.
