Thai Rib Satay with Peanut Sauce
Posted: February 6, 2012 Filed under: Clicking in the Kitchen, Dinner, Lunch, Pork, Salad, Sauce, Small bites, Thai | Tags: Food, Pork, Recipe, Ribs, Salad, Sauce, Thai food 4 CommentsNothing screams for finger foods louder than SuperBowl Sunday. Am I right? This past weekend also probably was the most junk eating for everyone, even the health conscious, because you have to go to someone else's party and eat what they serve. How can you not? Beer and chips are complimenting each other just right. I was so lucky that I didn't have to go anywhere else for the event, so I was planning to make healthy snacks, but no, not that vegetable dip with hummus. It's a little too healthy. I'm not a pure herbivore just yet.
Satay was my choice, but I was not going to spend my precious time putting the meat on the skewers. So I decided to go for ribs. The pigs had already spent the time wrapping their meat around their rib bones, and that serves as a holder. I shouldn't ignore their labor. Also with ribs I can make them tender and fall of the bones and that makes the satay even more yummy.
Satay or pronounced "Sa-Te" originated from Indonesia. There the most varieties are found, with all kind of meats on skewers, including fish, venison, rabbit, turtles, eels and even snakes! The Thais only use pork, chicken, tofu and, when I grew up there was some beef satay selling on the street side together with pork, but it is rarely found these days. The most popular one is pork.
This recipe is based on Thai Satay that is served with pickled cucumbers and peanut sauce as dips. I also added a simplified recipe at the end, just in case you can't find the ingredients or don't want to take the time to prep. Skip to Easy Spare Ribs Satay recipe all the way at the bottom of the page if you want the abridged version. My recipe is a family recipe and might be slightly different than others. I use garlic and shallots and do not add coriander seeds.
Spare ribs 3.5 lb.
Lemongrass sliced ¼ cup
Fresh Turmeric root sliced ¼ cup
Shallot sliced ¼ cup
Galangal root sliced ¼ cup
Garlic sliced 2 tablespoons
Sea salt 2 teaspoons
Brown sugar 2 teaspoons (set aside 1 teaspoon)
Coconut milk 2 cups (set aside 1 cup)
Spare ribs: I used St.Louis ribs because even though I want this to be healthy I also need some fat to add flavor and moisture to the meat. You can use baby back ribs if you want a leaner piece. In that case use only 3 lb. because baby back ribs are lighter with less bone weight, and reduce the cooking time to about 80%.
Lemongrass: The green stalks on the right in the picture. This shouldn't be that hard to find at an Asian market but if you have a hard time finding them try templeofthai.com or Amazon. You should slice from the bottom white part up to about half way, or 6".
Turmeric root: The bottom middle photo between lemongrass and shallots. You can use the powder if you can't find one. 2 tablespoon should be plenty to substitute for fresh. If you can get the fresh one, peel the skin off and slice them thinly.
Galangal root: The top middle photo between garlic and lemongrass. This is also sold at Asian markets fresh or frozen. Also available online. Peel of the skin and slice them thinly.
Coconut milk: This is something I use from the can since it's not that easy to find shredded fresh coconut to milk the coconut milk from, but make sure it is the "milk" and not the "juice". The white thick cream-like liquid, not the clear water-like liquid, please.
1) Clean the ribs: remove all the membrane on one side of the ribs so the marinade can penetrate through easier and cook better. I kept them all attached as a rack just to save space but you can cut them apart. They marinade better that way.
2) Mix the marinade: I put everything in the blender with 1 cup of coconut milk and grind them at medium for 30 seconds, then increase the speed to high and continue to blend for another 2 minutes. Make sure that everything is in fine paste.
You can also use the tradition equipment, i.e., mortar and grinder. If you decide to do that, this is the order that you put ingredients in the mortar and grind them until fine before you add the next one: lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, shallots. After grinding the shallots there will be some liquid coming out, so add curry powder to help absorb it, (and so you won't get splashed in the face!) Then continue with garlic, sea salt and brown sugar. Once you get the paste ground really fine, dissolve the paste in 1 cup coconut milk.
3) Marinate the ribs: This should happen the night before the cooking day. Rub the marinade paste on every side of the ribs and let them soak the colorful aroma of the paste in peace in the refrigerator. Or, if your outside temperature is around 33˚-36˚ F and your raccoon, dog, cat and coyote neighbors are on vacation, you can put your ribs outside.
If you can't marinate the ribs overnight, shame on you, but you can marinate them for 2-3 hours. All I'm asking is just do not tell your guests that you got the recipe from me.
4) Bake the ribs: Wrap each rack of ribs in aluminum foil, tightly so the ribs soak in their own juice the whole time we bake them. If already cut the ribs apart, place them in a baking tray, only one layer, and cover the tray tightly with foil. Bake at 300˚F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. While you are waiting for the ribs to be cooked, make the dipping sauces. Go to Method #7
5) Make the braising: Unwrap the ribs and check to see if the meat is tender and nearly falling off the bones. Collect all the juice, put it into a pot, set the pot over the stove, boil until the juice is thickened, then turn off the stove and add the 1 cup of coconut milk and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar that we set aside.
6) Grill the ribs: There are 2 ways of grilling the ribs and both ways need braising. So apply plenty of the braising on the ribs.
- Grill on the grill: If you want to cook them over the grill, I suggest keeping the whole rack of ribs together. Grill them over high heat, keep turning the rack every minute and apply more braising on the top before and after you turn them.
- Broil in the oven: If you want to broil them, then cut them apart and apply plenty of braising on top, put the tray on the top rack and set the oven to hi-broil. Usually it takes less than 5 minutes to brown them. I turned mine only 2 times. Put the outside side (the curved-up side) up first and leave it for 1-2 minutes, then put the inside side (the concave side that use to be covered with the white membrane) up with more braising. Leave it for 1-2 minutes. Turn them again once more and apply more braising, broil for 30 seconds or one minute…Then you are done.
Do not let them burn!
7) Make the cucumber pickle dipping sauce:
This dipping is officially called "A-Jad" in Thai.
4 Persian cucumbers, quartered lengthwise and sliced thinly
1 medium shallot sliced thinly
1 red chili sliced diagonally
– Place them in the bowl together.
Rice wine vinegar ½ cup
Rice cooking wine ½ cup (You can substitute with white wine, Japanese sake or water.)
Brown or white granulated sugar ½ cup
Water ½ cup
Sea salt 1-½ teaspoons
– Boil them all together in a pot over the stove until all the alcohol evaporates. Let it cool down, then pour it over the vegetables, then put the bowl in the refrigerator.
Do not make this ahead of the time. A-Jad is best if you use it within 2-3 hours after you make it. If you have to let it sit a little longer, add more water to the sauce.
8) Make the peanut dipping sauce:
Kaeng Kua curry paste 1 teaspoon
If you can't find it or don't know it, red curry paste is ok to use as a substitute, but these 2 curry pastes are different. I will explain more when I write about the curry pastes in the future.
Coconut milk 1-½ cups
Crushed roasted peanuts ½ cup (Can be substituted with crunchy peanut butter)
Coconut palm sugar 2 tablespoons
Fish sauce 2 tablespoons
Tamarind pulp 1 tablespoons
– Put ¼ cup of coconut milk in a pot over medium high heat wait until it bubbles, then add curry paste, stirring constantly with a whisk for 2 minutes. If the edge starts to brown, add more coconut milk.
– Put the rest of the ingredients in the pot except the crushed peanuts. Stir constantly with the whisk until it bubbles again, the add the crushed peanuts.
– Adjust the seasoning by adding more fish sauce, sugar, tamarind or even more crushed peanuts to your taste.
Not everyone wants to spend so much time cooking. Here this is the abridged version of the recipe.
Spare Ribs 2 lb.
Lobo Satay seasoning mix 1 package
If you get the seasoning mix that comes with the peanut dipping sauce mix (left) take the package of the satay rub out and leave the other one. If you get the white envelope seasoning mix (right), that is only the marinade, no dipping sauce.
Mix the seasoning with a cup of coconut milk and follow the methods from #1 all the way to the end but skip #2. If you get the seasoning mix with the peanut sauce mix, you can follow the recipe on the back about how to make the peanut dipping sauce using pre-mixed.

'EX-PILOT TURNS 80," said the party invitation. My brother Bill had a birthday this week, and I flew up to Portland to help him celebrate.
He and I are the last of the tight little family into which I was born.
We survived the Great Depression together, and years of moving from pillar to post and coast to coast; at times all we had was each other, but that was plenty enough.
Our family was bound together by common experience, laughter, our father's pride, and the love we wore on our sleeves.
Our parents were incessantly kind, though Mom obviously loved my brother best.
Why not? He was the only boy among four children, and had curly blond hair to boot.
When we asked mother to settle our disputes, he always won.
We enjoyed each other hugely just the same, a fact I remembered more clearly as I grew older. We built snow forts together (and made arsenals of snowballs); we held track meets in our back yard next to Dad's vegetable garden; we played jungle gym in our twin beds, in a room we shared till I was a seventh-grader.
Bill was always tall and very handsome, and I never knew for sure whether my girlfriends came to see me or to get close to him.
Despite such problems, we two became friends. He grew up to be a wonderful man.
He was a B-17 pilot in England during World War II and a Harvard graduate afterward.
He was candy to women and married five times.
His fifth wife - of 30 years, I hasten to add - threw his birthday party last weekend in a Portland restaurant.
He was surrounded by children and stepchildren and grandchidren and hosts of friends, all of whom praised him as a true gentleman who never had a bad word to say about anyone.
That sounds like pap, but it's true: all those offspring, step- and otherwise, had provided him with plenty of high drama and heart-stopping moments, but he never backed away. Whatever the kids did, no matter how flagrantly awful their deeds might look, he loved them anyway and had faith they'd grow up to be honorable people.
I gotta say, I marveled.
The payoff was obvious last weekend. Each of the young people - as well as his aging colleagues - spoke of him earnestly and lovingly. Phrases like "I love you" came from many grown men.
With a party whirling around us, he and I had little time alone. No matter. What we might have wanted to say we have already said many times.
Less than 24 hours after I arrived, Bill put me on an airplane home.
He went into the airport with me, bless his heart, and stood by the security checkpoint for 20 minutes while I worked my way through the line.
As I moved forward, he got more and more distant, less and less visible.
But I could see him anyway, quietly standing, smiling and waving his hand.
That's how it is between us: Even when he is out of sight, I know he is there.

ADB is helping Afghanistan's largest telecom operator develop nationwide mobile phone infrastructure and expand cellular services.
Kabul, Afghanistan - Decades of conflict devastated Afghanistan's communication systems. Fixed telephone lines are virtually absent in a country with rugged terrain, limited electricity, poor roads and postal services, and an unstable security situation.
The arrival of mobile phones, therefore, represented a telecom revolution, enabling the country to leapfrog straight to 21st-century satellite technology.
It has enabled families displaced by the conflict to remain connected, business owners to more easily search for good prices and remain informed, and isolated communities to further integrate into the economy. It has also provided basic banking functions in a country where banking is limited but where remittances play a vital economic role.
Demand for mobile phones was strong from the outset, but service rollout was constrained by limited financing options in the challenging political and security environment.
With help from ADB's private sector operations, however, the Telecom Development Company Afghanistan - known as Roshan and the largest operator with over 3.2 million subscribers - has been able to expand its mobile network infrastructure nationwide and improve its range of services. In July 2008, ADB provided its third loan to the process, this time $60 million. This followed loans of $35 million in late 2004 and $35 million in mid-2006.
"The development impact of mobile phones has spread across the country and through all levels of society," says Craig Steffensen, ADB's country director for Afghanistan. "Having access to information and knowledge is as critical for the education of the young - almost half the population is under 15 - as it is for the social development of women."
With expansion, Roshan has been able to lower the cost of its mobile phone services, increasing accessibility to the poor.
Innovative Services
Among its innovations, Roshan introduced M-paisa, a sort of mobile wallet, enabling the transfer of funds by mobile phone in a quick, easy, safe, and cost-effective way for peer-to-peer transfer, repayment of microfinance loans, purchase of airtime, and salary disbursement. This has brought financial transaction services to a country where only 3% of the population has a bank account.
Countrywide, Roshan sets up public call offices for those without a mobile phone, partnering with First Microfinance Bank to lend entrepreneurs capital to set up the offices. Roshan also supports women-only public call facilities, an important feature given ongoing gender segregation.
The company is installing solar photovoltaic panels to power telecom towers, thus reducing diesel fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. And in 2009, it piloted TradeNet, which provides farmers with market prices through text messaging, allowing farmers and traders to secure the best prices for their crops.
Telemedicine: Linking Health Workers with Experts
The provision of mobile telecom services is helping improve the delivery of essential services such as health care, education, and security.
Roshan has pioneered a telemedicine project that links doctors in Kabul and in a rural hospital in Bamyan to more experienced staff at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. (The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development is Roshan's majority shareholder.) This potentially life-saving telemedicine project has impacted the lives of 400 patients and trained 300 Afghan medical personnel. It could play a key role in reconstructing the health care system.
Khalid Ansari, a radiologist at the French Medical Institute for Children (FMIC), uses telemedicine to transmit imagery from the hospital's magnetic resonance-imaging scanner to colleagues in Karachi. "If we have a complicated diagnosis, it takes just one click to put the pictures on our server and send them to the Aga Khan Hospital, which can send us back a report within 24 hours," he says.
Not long ago, FMIC established a connection with a provincial hospital in remote Bamyan, which has 14 physicians serving more than 600,000 people. In an interview by video link, moments after a class on infection control, hospital manager Matthew Rodieck said, "We are very isolated here, but if one of our specialists comes across a case that's difficult to understand, he or she can bring the patient to the telemedicine room and consult with a physician in Kabul or Karachi."
The link can also be used for medical education: the course on infection control connected students in Bamyan, Kabul, and Karachi, while videoconferencing equipment enables doctors and nurses in Bamyan and Kabul to sit in on lectures delivered in Karachi.
In Afghanistan's isolated areas, where traditions and infrastructure have changed little over centuries, mobile technology is connecting people and changing lives - one step at a time.

I like the texture and lightweight feel of this moisturizer. That's really the draw for me. Because I have combination skin, I pat an additional moisturizer over the drier areas of my face. This works out OK. That said, for the money I don't think I'm getting something extraordinary. At the end of the day this is nothing more than a decent lightweight moisturizer. I have not noticed a change in skin tone, breakouts, skin texture, or anything else while using this.
I think there are 2 versions of this gel moisturizer, one with SPF and one without. I am using the whipped gel without SPF that comes in a jar versus a tube.
I had been experiencing some hormonal breakouts that were exasperated by dry, wind burnt skin that caused my skin to over-produce oil in compensation and made the cystic breakout stay inflamed. It seemed like I would never get it all under control and even my favorite products were failing me with this issue. I took to puncturing Alleve gel caps and smearing them on the cysts which helped tremendously with the inflammation and Visine helped with the redness but the cysts would not dry out and my skin was so oily.
Finally in desperation I purchased a gentle cleanser for acne prone skin but first washed my face with Philosophy Purity Made Simple with my Clairsonic, to remove all traces of makeup. After using the acne cleanser I would wait about 20 minutes and then apply Take a Deep Breath gel moisturizer. It hydrated my skin without any greasiness and kept my skin hydrated for 10-12 hours. The acne cleanser dried out the cysts and this moisturizer kept my face nicely hydrated and balanced. I have continued to use it as my summer moisturizer, it is light in texture and my skin drinks it in and stays plumped and hydrated.
I have stayed away from the other version due to the chemical SPF and how my skin reacts to anything but mineral sunblock. If not for this weird sensitivity I would totally use it and eliminate the need for using a separate SPF. Those reviewers that complained of breaking out might want to try the non-SPF version, they may have developed the same type of sensitivity to chemical sunblock that I developed over time.
I've bought this two or three times now. I rotate between this and HIAJ but prefer this one. This clears up my acne, feels great going on, and soaks right in. Absolutely HG

EDIT: I took off one lippy. Started breaking out with clogged pores and small zits after a week or two of use. Such a shame! I really wanted to like this. Oh well. The search for the perfect moisturizer continues!
I think I've finally found my HG moisturizer! I have combo skin and I'm extremely prone to acne breakouts, even with noncomedogenic products. I bought a sample of this on eBay after a friend recommended it to me. It's a light blue-colored gel with a tiny bit of shimmer (which I LOVE in moisturizers). I used a pea-sized amount for my whole face and was in love the second I put it on. It absorbs super quickly and dries to a fairly matte finish. The one bad thing I noticed is that about 5 minutes after applying, I had a bit of dryness on my cheeks and forehead. But after applying another layer to those areas, it was all good. When midday comes around, I don't even have to blot like usual. And after 4 days of use, I've actually noticed that my skin is clearing up! Overall, this would definitely not work well for someone with dry skin, but for those on the oilier side, it's great. Definitely a perfect summer moisturizer (they even have a version of this with SPF 30)! Love it!

This product is made for acne-prone skin and that is what originally sold me when i first saw it. I am a huge fan of gel moisturizers because i find that it absorbs into my skin more easily and doesn't just stay on the top layer but also penetrates deep down to really hydrate. I am very impressed and satisfied with the results so far because i have not had any major breakouts and I have not experienced any dryness or flaking especially since it is winter time now.

I recently started using Retin-A at night so I needed a moisturizer with sunscreen in it. I bought the version of this with SPF from Ulta. I like the way it feels and the consistency. I have oily skin but this product wasn't hydrating enough so I usually put Rosehip and Jojoba oils on my face first. As much as I really reallllllyyyy want to like this product (I chose it because of online reviews and that it is paraben-free), EVERY time I wear it, my eyes sting and water! No matter how far away I place it from my eyes, and even when I don't use oils underneath, it happens every time. No other product has ever done this to me and I usually rub sunscreen on my eyelids! Tearing up during the day is very annoying :(. If it wasn't for it making my eyes tear up, I would definitely be happy with this product, it leaves my skin with a really nice texture and doesn't clog my pores/break me out. I don't know if it's the SPF in this product or just the ingredients in general that make my eyes water, but my quest for the perfect SPF moisturizer continues!
This is a great moisturizer for anyone with naturally oily skin. I hate that there are some negative reviews here due to the fact that it is not moisturizing enough...IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE, so don't fault it for not doing something it doesn't claim to do. If you have combination to oily skin, this is the perfect facial moisturizer. It never feels heavy or greasy. I would also recommend it for anyone who uses a heavy moisturizer in winter months, but wants something lighter in the summer. It's very similar to Clinique's Moisture Surge...maybe a little thicker.

I love gel moisturizers. Usually I stick with clinique skin care but occasionally I will branch out... okay philosophy is as far as I've gotten ha! This product is awesome, it's light enough to wear during the day, unlike clinique's moisture surge. I really want to like moisture surge but it's too much for daytime and not enough for at night in my opinion. This rocks. I keep seeing where others complain about glitter... I don't even see it, it's never made me shiny or glittery. Never broke me out. I believe it is oil free, and fragrance free. Both pluses for sensitive skin types. I will continue to use it for as long as they make it!
I received this product in a deluxe sample size. I do not hate this product but it wasn't for me. I have relatively dry skin and require a hydrating moisturizer. However while using this product, my skin felt dry and tight. The fact I would use my daily press powder to set my foundation did not help my dry skin became after using this product. I used it for a week while waiting for my new moisturizer and I did not like it during that time. Nonetheless the product has certain perks to it such as the scent is not overwhelming nor did it break me or my sister out. It just wasn't for me. Perhaps an individual with a normal to oily skin will come to love this product more.

I don't know why this product has been getting so much hate. I find it to be a perfectly wonderful product. Personally, I love philosophy products anyway. It's a gel moisturizer so it has a bit of a sticky consistency when applied to the face. That could be a good or bad thing. I like this for the winter b/c primers can dry out my skin but b/c this is sticky, it holds on to the makeup very well, leaving very little need for a primer. It does not have SPF in it, which is something I can live with. But when I first tried the sample, it felt like I was literally putting a layer of velvet on my skin, so I ran to the store the next day & purchased a whole jar. I love it, but there are other moisturizers that can do the same for half the price. But if you're looking to splurge, then go for it.

The Defense Information Systems Agency's digital collaboration tool Defense Connect Online on Feb. 20 clocked 1 million registered users, a milestone for the program.
DCO, which offers web conferences and other online collaboration platforms, is used on the DOD's classified SIPRNet and unclassified NIPRNet. It is available to all DOD users with a common access card, and uses Adobe services.
The system's virtual capabilities offer a cost-cutting alternative to in-person conferences, many of which were cancelled in the past two years after a conference-spending scandal at the General Services Administration and, more recently, a focus on reducing overhead spending at the Defense Department.
"As budgets have tightened and resulted in a need to more cost-effectively conduct meetings and training, DISA has witnessed Defense Connect Online usage grow," Brett Swarz, Adobe public sector vice president, said via e-mail. "Virtual web conferencing is not just being used by select users, but also in some cases to replace entire physical conferences."
That includes a March 2013 conference at the Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center, which shifted a 1,500 person training conference to a virtual event. The move to a virtual conference reduced event costs by 50 percent and resulted in savings of $1 million in travel and per diem costs, Swarz said.
The service also hosts more than 1 million chat messages per week, 50 million minutes of web conferencing per month and 315,000 web conferencing sessions per month, and has seen a 100 percent increase in concurrent usage from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2013, according to Adobe.

Kudos to DCO...great option and yes we need to be good stewards of Govt funds spent on travel and training. But let's not kid ourselves. For teaching purposes...there is no substitute to face to face physical onsite training. I would like to see a fair/unbiased article showing results comparing the two. Onsite Live training where you look the student in the eye...vs looking at a computer/camera hoping the other person has not been pulled away by the boss or is playing solitaire. When those knuckleheads at GSA created that debacle...they had no idea what they did to the quality of training offered by those of us who deeply care about our Warfighters and their training needs to do a hard job during wartime!. I don't want to knock down DCO...I like DCO in some instances...but let's not kid ourselves...there IS an elephant in the room. I hear complaints all the time from students and instructors alike. It really don't matter what my opinion is...what matters is the bottom line...I just don't want our Warfighters needs when it comes to training to be watered down cause everyone thinks DCO is the next best thing. I think our Warfighters deserve much better than the "next best thing".

Grounds were nice. Construction wasn't too loud and didnt bother us.
Pillows are small. Soft but just the size makes em feel weird.
The hotel was in a very good location. It was perfect for our visit to Aurora.We came to visit our daughter and granddaughter and family.We stayed 3 nights in this hotel.The breakfast was good. The staff was friendly and overall our stay was nice. We plan to stay here again on our next visit to Co.
The first night the room was a bit cold. The bedding seemed fairly thin on the beds. The next day we called down and got blankets sent up. It was much better for the next 2 nights.
It wasn't clean ashtray was full of cigarette
The room was extremely filthy. People were up and making noise at all hours of the night. The staff was less than professional. Management has not made anything that even resembles an effort at this dump. The price was not worth the nightmare.
The Hotel was convenient to the airport, and the check in was easy. Bus drivers were pleasant.
The breakfast was meager, and not convenient, the toaster is across the room from the bread & bagels, the microwave is across the room from the cereals. The tea was not by the coffee, and the cups were not close to either. There was no decoration in the room or a t.v.
I selected no on the star rating expectation as such because it was rated as a 1 star and the accommodations were at least a 2-3 star
The likely reason they are rated so low is due to the customer service level of professionalism at the front desk. They were not as efficient as they could be.
Location, price.
Working efficiency of the staff. We had to wait for more than an hour to check in the room after the regular scheduled time, 3:0pm - when we required to check in the room at 3:20PM, the room was sitll under cleaning.
Shuttle to airport
had free park n ride. Got charged this time wont stay again
I needed a affordable, yet clean/quite room to crash in while waiting for my flight the following morning. Good service, clean room, no disturbances and on time shuttle to the airport (runs every hour, but you can schedule additional shuttle runs as needed with the front desk). I had a very good experience.
Nothing comes to mind...
the front desk staff was helpful to cancel my reservation.
At 5:30pm my room was still not ready for us to check in. The room I reserved was not even available and they were going to downgrade me. I was not pleased with the experience at all. We cancelled the reservation and stayed somewhere else.
Courtesy and attention of all employees
Space of the bathroom. Was tight.
Bed and room was adequate, nothing fancy. Hot tub and pool great temperatures.
For the amount paid, we should have a breakfast included or at least reasonably priced, $14 for breakfast is not reasonable.
Super comfortable beds. Microwave and fridge in room.
No ventilation fan in the restroom
The air worked
Nno pillow cases the floor wasnt vacuumed there was hair dye all over the walls there was left over coffee in the pot
It was the cheapest place that wasnt a motel. Sadly, it was horribly misrepresented online, and it felt worse than a motel.
The staff that checked me in was rude and unattentive. The towels in the room had holes in them, and were mostly so thin that i could see through them. I went down to the desk to ask for another towel at nigt, when i was about to shower, and they were closed. I find it strange for a hotel desk to close... regardless, i returned in the morning when they opened. A snotty woman barked that i needed to return the towels from my eroom before i could request a new one. So i went back to the 3rd floor and back down with all of my towels, and she didnt say one word to me. She just dropped a new towel in front of me and left. Also, the elevator is incredibly terrifying, it feels as if it is going to break at any moment. The hallways were flooded with gang activity. This place should not be listed as a hotel, let alone an extended stay. The headboard on my bed fell off durig my stay. And i found a bottle of lube under the bed, this place is disgusting.
Unique rooms, free wifi, nice shower and comfortable beds.
Had some trouble reaching the desk by phone. Wish they offered free continental breakfast....
Love the style and function of room. Free bottles of water in the room was awesome!
The beds please change them they sucked!
Rooms were ok, nice shower
Outside of hotel was in poor condition, girl at the front desk wasn't very friendly, was on the phone thru my entire check in process.
hotel, room, bed
staff demeanor. some didn't seemto want to be there
Unprofessional Staff...Very Rude

Ok, so I bought this product about 2 months ago. I washed my face with it for about 2 days until I noticed I had started to break out. I don't usually break out lots but now that I have used this I always break out. It is the worst cleanser I have EVER used :( so 2 months later I'm still trying to get rid of what this has done to me :( DO NOT BUY THIS! I beg you
This is my absolute favorite cleaner. It leaves my skin feeling so amazing and clean. It gradually helps my acne, but my acne isn't very bad. It's great for taking off makeup and oil.
-Leaves skin feeling nice
-Smells good
-Isn't very harsh
-Gentle, my skin is a mix between sensitive and dry
-Works okay against acne, helps a bit, didn't make it any worse
-Sort of need a quarter sized amount for your entire face, so it goes quickly
-Doesn't work fast enough
It's a great cleanser, definitely recommend it to everyone.
I like it. I break out at a particular time during the month, (yes, THAT time). Normally it's like about 4-5 on my forehead. I have been using this for a couple of months now roughly, and last month, I didn't break out before "that" happened. I did break out once, one above my eyebrow, but that's it. I think it might be working. I like the creamy consistency, feels really nice when I cleanse. And it's not drying at all, I was really hesitant to try an "acne" wash, for fear that it would be drying. Overall, a good basic cleanser. If you have severe acne, it won't clear up anything, nor prevent it. But if you break out occassionally, ESPECIALLY at a particular time, I think it works. My friend uses it, who also has dry-acne prone skin, and she said it helps her as well.
I was feeling hopeful about this product because I do stress and I thought that maybe this could be the product to finally clear my skin up. No luck whatsoever. :( I only used it for 2 days and only washed my face with it 3 times during that period (the usual day and night thing) and I got scared because I started getting little bumps all over my face, mostly in my cheek/chin area. I returned it and went back to my normal routine but the bumps wouldn't go away. 2 weeks later I started picking at them and most of them finally disappeared. I know picking is bad, but it was the only way for them to come off (even exfoliating didn't work!). However, it has been a month after I started using it and 5% of the bumps are still there :( It makes me sad :(
I used this for a while along with the 3 in 1 hydrating acne treatment. The only thing I liked about this was the tingly feeling it gives. My face did not feel clean after using ths. Even using this with my Clarisonic my face still did not feel clean & it left me feeling like I had a film over my skin. It did nothing for my acne. This was overall a complete waste for me.
this is my favourite cleanser! it feels so amazing and rich on your face and it makes it feel really clean. it made most of my acne go away which is really good. definately gonna keep buying this!!
-removes dirt
-does not overdry skin
-leaves skin feeling refreshed
I use this when my skin feels like it could do without a lather
I had a little acne on my forehead and decided to try this wash. It felt nice and cold on my face, but the more i used it the worse my acne got. It turned little spots in to the rocky mountains, it did no good, and made everything worse. DO NOT BUY
Hi everyone i bought this product couple months ago and now its finish,and people that was the BEST product ever.It totally cured my acne all over it was a blessing , the smell is great the packaging is good cause it does not leek out.I recommend this product to people with acne problems it is amazing.One problem is where i live in Grenada this product cost me $34 dollars but to me it was worth the price.

Q My husband and I are in our early and middle 50s. We have one child, a junior in college. I have been not working since September (unemployment plus a very part-time job).
He wants to refinance for a 10-year fixed loan including pretty much all but my student loan (for tax purposes). We have done pretty much what we can to keep expenses down. We are doing pretty well. I am suggesting that we target certain bills, knock them off, see how we are doing in six months, then revisit the refinancing. I'm certain I'll have a job and my income will be used to pay down bills and for savings. Thoughts?
A You're money conversation highlights a fundamental divide in life and in personal finance: the trade-off between taking actions that create greater financial certainty now vs. keeping your options open as long as possible.
Clearly, it's an opportune time to refinance. Mortgage interest rates are heading lower. According to Bankrate.com, the national average for 30-year fixed rate mortgages is 4.37 percent, down from 4.52 percent last week.
Yet as you say, there's a good chance your monthly cash flow will improve significantly over the next two years. You will get a bump when you get a job.
Here's the thing: There's no right or wrong between the choices you and your husband are considering. The really intriguing and difficult personal finance choices are when values collide.
One way to think through a decision like this is to focus on risk or, more accurately, which risks you're more comfortable living with. It's an approach I learned from the late Peter Bernstein, a great translator of modern finance theory into eloquent books and other writings. For Bernstein, the key question is: "What is the downside? What could go wrong?"
For instance, the lure of keeping your options open is that you'll get rid of the bills and add to savings when you get a job. What if you don't? What if interest rates skyrocket while you're looking for work? Then again, if you put all your debts on your home (except student loans) are you putting your house at risk if you suffer a major financial setback? That's what happened to so many homeowners in the 2008-2010 home implosion. If the U.S. economy sinks back into recession which choice will make it easier for you to weather the storm?
Carefully think through the downside as well as the upside, and then make your choice.
