Title: Stabilizing a shale slope in Virginia
Answered by: Barbara Medford
I have family members who recently built a new home in Virginia. The site required extensive excavation resulting in a large 30 foot, nearly vertical, shale wall behind the house. They now want to revegetate the wall to reduce crumbling. With a southern aspect and very little, if any, soil, moisture retention will be at a minimum. I have suggested training native vines, such as Virginia creeper and Trumpet vine, to grow from either the bottom or top of the wall. Any other suggestion for this difficult situation?ANSWER:
We have previously answered a similar question from Pennsylvania, and have excerpted some of that below, and then added comments relative to your particular situation.
We think that before you start trying to find plants that can survive on that slope, you need to make sure it is safe. We have a few questions to ask that may send you in the right direction, because we really can't recommend any plants that would grow in that shale unless there was at least some soil on top of it. Our first question is: Has the slope been examined by an engineer or a geologist to ascertain if it is stable? Is your house sitting at the foot of this bank? Are there other properties in your area with a similar situation, and have you observed the solutions those landowners have reached? Probably our first question is the most important. We are gardeners and not civil engineers, but especially if the house is at the bottom of the slope, hardscape measures, like terracing and retaining walls, need to be undertaken right away, managed by someone who knows what they're doing. This would be an expensive proposition, but not as expensive as having the slope in your living room after hard rains. If the slope is down from the building, that is not quite as imminent a danger, but certainly should still be examined to make sure the foundations are not going to be subject to de-stabilization from erosion down that slope.
If there is some soil on top of the shale, there might be grasses that could be coaxed to grow there, but nothing planted is going to hold that slope if it begins to slip. Even if there were some soil (and water could be made available to the plants), how on earth could anything be planted? Hanging by your fingernails from the cliff while you dig a hole and put in a plant is probably not an option. Your suggestion of Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper) is a good one for covering the slope, in that it climbs by use of adhesive disks which permit it to cling to walls or rock. It is native to Virginia and can grow in sun, part shade or shade. Campsis radicans (trumpet creeper) might not be so effective, as it climbs by aerial twining rootlets. Without something those rootlets can twine on, it wouldn't go up, but might go down, if planted at the top and cared for. It is native to Virginia, also, but remember that it can be undesirably aggressive in the South, and might decide to take off on its own, instead of dealing with that inhospitable shale, and could end up in yours or neighbors' gardens where it isn't wanted. It requires full sun.

Last meeting we talked about Empire Uncut recreating a scene from The Empire Strikes Back to add to the overall movie. I have picked a bunch of scenes containing multiple people. Take a look at them and vote on EACH and EVERYONE you think the RMFF should be involved with creating. After I pick one we have 30 days to create it and turn it in. I was thinking we could record our clips either in November or before October's meeting. Scene #1 C-3PO on Chewie's Back http://www.starwarsuncut.com/empire/427 Scene #2 Chewie chokes Lando http://www.starwarsuncut.com/empire/402 Scene #3 Falcon Escapes Hoth Base http://www.starwarsuncut.com/empire/134 Scene #4 Apologies Accepted Captain Needa http://www.starwarsuncut.com/empire/288 Scene #5 Han just put in Carbonite http://www.starwarsuncut.com/empire/386 Now these scenes are first come first serve. So vote for 2 or 3 of your favorites and if the top choice is taken we will go with the next choice.
I noticed you only voted for the clips in which someone was choking.......????? Morbid thoughts lately?
Apparently there's a lot of choking in the galaxy far, far away. And, nerf, that's why I voted for that scene!
Ditto! We gotta get nerf and his whitey-Lando in there somewhere. Any other Lando ones open, Darklord49?
I believe you can claim a scene that is already claimed. Later, they choose the one they want to use.
Is this project still alive? I think we talked about filming it at/after the October meeting...which is this Saturday.
Alright, peeps! I've decided to take the lead on this and have claimed scene 319 called "Smooth Operator." You can view the scene here (http://www.starwarsuncut.com/empire/319). It's the one where the Falcon arrives at Bespin and Lando walks up to meet them. The scene is 15 seconds and has Lando, Han Solo, Leia, Chewie and C-3PO. I'd like to plan on filming this at the Rogers' place during the November meeting. We get 30 days to upload our video, so this gives us 2 weeks of prep and the 2 weeks of editing. Should be plenty of time. Nerf, can you be our Lando since you did so well in the trailer? Any volunteers for Leia, Chewie, Han and 3PO? Perhaps Abby wants to be our Princess? There's also a Lobot in the background of the first couple of seconds, if anyone wants to just stand there. Grimby, do you have a camera and lights? I can bring those, if we need. Do you have a good way to capture sound? Courtney & Shane, would you guys be able to draw up a Falcon as our background? Doesn't have to be fancy. You can check out the web site to see what others have done. Let's make this an awesome 15 second video, RMFF! We need to be sure somebody (or everybody's) wearing RMFF logoed gear.
I can't view the scene because it's already been claimed. Is there a way to unlock it so I can see its extents? I'm not sure I can be an 'old smoothie' to a 4 year old. That's just kinda creepy.
Who has a really cheesy 3PO costume? Alas, I do not have lights. Or a camera. Or a high quality mic. If we could borrow a boom mic from someone and hook it up to a mixer, that's all we'd need for sound. If it's easier, we could always shoot it against green screen and add in the background in post. All we need is a green sheet.
I'll plan on bringing a camera, microphones and some lights. I don't have a mixer, though, but perhaps we can record several takes and then you can mix it up good, Snoop Grimby! I'll see if there if a green screen here somewhere.
Here's the scene broken down with dialogue and blocking: Empire Uncut – RMFF Style! Shot 1 (1.5 seconds) – Lobot in background, Lando in foreground, Han walking behind Lando and scratching his head (starts right behind and exits camera left) Lando: And who might you be? Shot 2 (14.5 seconds) – (L to R: left half of Chewie, Leia, Lando, C-3PO, Han w/ back to camera) Leia: Leia. Lando: (Lifts Leia's left hand with his right and kisses it) [Smoothly] Welcome Leia. (Han crosses behind Lando, in front of C-3PO). (Leia smiles and looks at Han. Han takes Leia's hand from Lando in his right). Han: Alright, alright. You old, smoothie. (Han leads Leia by hand. Leia still smiling looking at Han. Lando looks at Han and then at C-3PO. Han and Leia exit camera right). C-3PO: Hello, sir. I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations. (Lando, smiling, holds his C-3PO's hand disinterestedly, looks after Han and Leia, lets C-3PO's hand drop and exits camera right). My facilities are at your… (Chewie also exits camera right with a rowr).
Cast and crew: Grimby - camera, lights, sound, editor, "Best Boy" DWRD - camera, lights, sound, director, Han Solo? Nerf - Lando Jomama, want to be Chewie? Your tall enough and scruffy enough... nnay or catz or S__C, want to be Leia? Lego, want to be Lobot? You got the shiny noggin' for it. Any takers on C-3PO? Shane? Anybody else want to be Han Solo or can help with being crew? I was thinking of doing this scene in the Film Noir style. Black and White. People wearing jackets or trenchcoats, with fedoras. I was going to wear an RMFF shirt, brown leather jacket and fedora for Han. Any other thoughts? I'm totally open to suggestions.

While Tronolane is a great product when used for that area for which it was intended, it is also a fantastic product for use on ANY area (except inside your mouth) where you have an itchy rash. I recently had a bad reaction to an oral medication that caused a horribly itchy rash on the top of my foot and ankle. It was one of those burning, painful rashes that woke me up during the night and covered my sheets with blood from scratching it while sleeping. Nothing, NOTHING was working...not hydrocortisone, not Neosporin, not even Lidocaine solution. Even Benadryl was having little effect. The rash was driving me insane and because it was caused by an oral medication the only thing I could do was wait until it was out of my system. Finally, after trying every cream in the house, desperation caused me to try the Tronolane. I rubbed in just a bit and felt relief so I just slathered it on, blocking off the air to the rash. It was soooo soothing and lasted all night. The rash took nearly a week to go away and the Tronolane with the Benadryl made that week bearable. I couldn't find any Tronolane at the drugstore so I ordered several tubes here. Believe me, my bathroom will NEVER be without it again.

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT MAY BURN YOU AS IT DID ME. Hoping to at least dull the pain of some external (non-bleeding) hemorrhoids, I used the cream as directed - except I only applied it externally and didn't use the supplied internal applicator, THANK GOD. I don't even want to think about what would've happened if I had, since I received an external chemical burn as it is! Since I've never had particularly sensitive skin, I thought I'd better warn potential consumers that this could also happen to you.

By JP

After cleaning with regular toilet tissue, I use Wet Ones Fresh 'n Flush Wipes to do the final cleansing. Instead of using the supplied applicator tip, I squeeze a small portion of the Tronolane Cream onto toilet tissue and then apply to the affected area. That allows for better control of how much is used and also makes for easy cleanup. It relieves the itching and burning I experience without it.

Web-based application to project the burden of Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT: Research demonstrates a positive effect of aerobic exercise on cognitive functioning in older adults. Unfortunately, aerobic exercise is often contraindicated for older adults due to cardiovascular and functional limitations. Low-intensity strengthening exercise may offer a practical alternative, but the neuropsychological benefits and potential neurophysiological mechanisms are less well understood. The current study evaluated the effects of a 10-week strengthening exercise intervention on cognitive functioning and EEG in a sample of 13 older adults with early dementia, and 9 normative controls. Results revealed beneficial effects of strengthening exercise on verbal memory coupled with frontal beta and delta power asymmetries and N200 amplitude asymmetry. Results point to increased cognitive efficiency following 10 weeks of strengthening exercise. The findings suggest it is feasible to conduct a strengthening intervention with early dementia patients, and to gather neuropsychological and neurophysiological data to evaluate outcomes. Strengthening exercise may serve as a useful alternative to aerobic exercise.Aging Neuropsychology and Cognition 12/2011; 19(3):380-401. · 1.07 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial dynamics play a crucial role in the pathobiology underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Although a complete scientific understanding of these devastating conditions has yet to be realized, alterations in mitochondrial fission and fusion, and in the protein complexes that orchestrate mitochondrial fission and fusion, have been well established in AD- and PD-related neurodegeneration. Whether fission/fusion disruption in the brain is a causal agent in neuronal demise or a product of some other upstream disturbance is still a matter of debate; however, in both AD and PD, the potential for successful therapeutic amelioration of degeneration via mitochondrial protection is high. We here discuss the role of mitochondrial dynamics in AD and PD and assess the need for their therapeutic exploitation.Current pharmaceutical design 09/2011; 17(31):3374-80. · 4.41 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Several observational studies have suggested a link between health status and rate of decline among individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We sought to quantify the relationship in a population-based study of incident AD, and to compare global comorbidity ratings to counts of comorbid conditions and medications as predictors of AD progression. This was a case-only cohort study arising from a population-based longitudinal study of memory and aging, in Cache County, Utah. Participants comprised 335 individuals with incident AD followed for up to 11 years. Patient descriptors included sex, age, education, dementia duration at baseline, and APOE genotype. Measures of health status made at each visit included the General Medical Health Rating (GMHR), number of comorbid medical conditions, and number of non-psychiatric medications. Dementia outcomes included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clinical Dementia Rating - sum of boxes (CDR-sb), and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). Health status tended to fluctuate over time within individuals. None of the baseline medical variables (GMHR, comorbidities, and non-psychiatric medications) was associated with differences in rates of decline in longitudinal linear mixed effects models. Over time, low GMHR ratings, but not comorbidities or medications, were associated with poorer outcomes (MMSE: β = -1.07 p = 0.01; CDR-sb: β = 1.79 p < 0.001; NPI: β = 4.57 p = 0.01). Given that time-varying GMHR, but not baseline GMHR, was associated with the outcomes, it seems likely that there is a dynamic relationship between medical and cognitive health. GMHR is a more sensitive measure of health than simple counts of comorbidities or medications. Since health status is a potentially modifiable risk factor, further study is warranted.International Psychogeriatrics 06/2012; 24(10):1561-70. · 1.89 Impact Factor

Dental emergencies are no fun. They can be scary and painful. You should always call your dentist immediately if you have an emergency. We always try to see our emergency patients on the same day. However, if you have to wait, here are some steps to handle the emergency until you can get in to see the dentist.
Pain and Sensitivity
This can be caused by an abcess or exposed nerve from a lost filling or crown.
What to Do?
Rinse your mouth out with warm salt water to reduce the swelling. See your dentist immediately before infection spreads or worsens. If there is an abcess, you will need a root canal. If the damage is severe, the tooth may need to be extracted.
Broken Tooth
Your tooth may have cracked while eating, or experienced a blunt force.
What to Do?
Save any pieces of the broken tooth and rinse them with warm water. Also, rinse your mouth with warm water too.
Apply gauze if you experience any bleeding.
Use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth on the way to the dentist.
If decay is to blame for the breakage, the nerve could be in danger and a root canal may be required.
Knocked Out Permanent Tooth
This is probably one of the most scary scenarios.
What to Do?
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root.
Rinse the tooth with warm water (if it's dirty) but do not scrub it.
Try to re-insert the tooth into the socket, making sure it's facing the right way. If you can't, soak the tooth in milk or salt water on the way to the dentist.
Teeth that are knocked out have the best chance of being saved if treated within ONE hour.
Remember, always call your dentist immediately.

We wanted to share this with you because it is simply an amazing story.
A relaxing beach vacation with his family turned into one of the most incredible days of Dr. Perella's life! While walking out of the house to watch the sunset, he heard screams and calls for help. Running toward the house where the screams were coming from, he saw a man in distress and his wife screaming for help.
After yelling to Holly to call 911, he ran back to the house. The man was having a full-blown seizure and was struggling to breathe. Dr. Perella put the man on his side, and after a few minutes, the man completely stopped breathing and turned blue! Immediately, Dr. Perella performed CPR on the man. After a few minutes, the man regained consciousness, and began to breathe on his own again, just in time for the paramedics to arrive and take him to the hospital.
The next day, the wife found Dr. Perella and his family on the beach and was SO very thankful to him for his help. The doctors said if he hadn't been there to perform CPR, this man would not have made it. She told Sydney that her daddy was a hero.
We are all so very proud of our Dr. Perella. And we can't stress enough, if you hear someone calling for help, GO to them, even if you don't know what's happening. You could save a life!
Dr. Perella and Holly jump on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!
Happy birthday Dr. Perella!!!
This article was taken from The Local, a French newspaper...
The dentist is never the favourite place for children but some youngsters will go to greater lengths than others to avoid having to see one, it seems.
One 12-year-old boy in a village in the Alpine village St Gervais even went as far as telling police he had been kidnapped so he wouldn't have to see the tooth doctor, French paper Midi Libre reported.
The youngster was picked up by police, who spotted him hiding, as they patrolled through the village during the afternoon of May 21.
When quizzed by police the youngster immediately said he had been abducted from the nearby town of Bagnols.
He even gave the officers a detailed description of the man who had abducted him – "European looking, aged in his thirties, of muscular build with a height of around 1.70 and a vertical scar on his right cheek".
The kidnapper was also wearing a black shirt and light jeans according to the boy. Police quickly drew up an e-fit image of the alleged abductor.
The young boy was also able to hand over details of the car he was driving and of course what happened during the abduction.
He told officers he was going to his dental appointment when a man pulled up to ask directions. After a brief exchange the boy said he was forced into the man's car, before he sped off.
He then told police he managed to escape by chance when the car stopped in Saint Gervais.
Naturally the police treated the case seriously and spent the last month investigating. It was only after trawling through CCTV images from the town of Bagnols that detectives realised something wasn't quite right.
Under further questioning the boy admitted this week that he had invented the whole story because he had been afraid to go to his appointment at the dentist.
In fairness he's probably not the only youngster to invent a story to avoid having to have their teeth checked.

Faculty Book Release: Dr. Regine Jean-Charles
Conflict Bodies: The Politics of Rape Representation in the Francophone Imaginary explores the relationship between rape and narratives of violence in francophone literature and culture. The book offers ways to account for the raped bodies beneath the conflicts of slavery, genocide, dictatorship, natural disasters and war—and to examine why doing so is necessary. Through a feminist analysis of the rhetoric and representation of rape in francophone African and Caribbean cultural production, Conflict Bodies examines theoretical, visual, and literary texts that challenge the dominant views of postcolonial violence.

Inner-city martial art students make a film about traveling to Wudang Mountain in China to train kung fu and learn the power of nature. Read more
Inner-city martial art students make a film about traveling to Wudang Mountain in China to train kung fu and learn the power of nature.
About this project
We're busy publicizing the project, help us with a final push!
This documentary will feature the journey of two American inner-city students and their martial arts teacher to Wudang Mountain in China. This trip evolved from a martial arts and health class in a drop-out prevention program that was taught by Dr. Mike Cermak, co-founder of the Green Dragons. The Green Dragons uses martial arts to train discipline and focus but adds an environmental perspective by learning to grow healthy and sustainable food with students from kindergarten to high school age. The film will be built around the story of the students and how martial arts and environmentalism help them find their path in an urban public school system.
The goal for this project is to show, from the youth perspective, the challenges faced in urban public schools and make a clear statement for the power of combining the physical, mental and environmental in education. Other films and documentaries such as Waiting for Superman, Freedom Writers, Boys of Baraka, and March Point have highlighted the difficulties of urban schools as well as shown some interventions that have done well. This documentary will fit within this genre of urban education and programs for urban youth of color, but have an added martial arts and environmental twist.
"The Way of The Green Dragon" is a working title inspired by Bruce Lee's 1972 film "The Way of the Dragon." This is a reality-based documentary so we are not sure yet what direction our story will take us. It is possible the title will change as we find insight on our journey. That's the beauty of documentary! The general goal is to show how natural martial arts can be and it's healing potential for urban youth (and everyone). Please send ideas for concepts and motifs if you are interested, everyone who supports us will get an early sneak peek at the film!
This trip will take place in late June 2013 but we have already started filming the work of the two students, Vanely and Cedonne, during their classes and work with other Green Dragons youth programs. The funding for this project is needed to help get the students to China, pay for our stay at the school, and to add some film and recording equipment to our toolkit. We have a school selected called Wudang Dao run by Master Bing, a 15th generation Taoist Master. Master Bing runs one of the few schools on Wudang Mountain and we were lucky enough to meet him in person when he was doing workshops in New England. He is hosting us as part of a special teacher training session in June. He has a program ready that involves kung fu, tai chi, and meditation training as part of each day. We will also be seeing the classic sites like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.
Master Bing also has a full vegetable garden and the whole week will be vegetarian. This will help us explore the full Green Dragons training as he has agreed to let us help him with cooking and gardening! This part of the trip will help us film the environmental and natural part of the training.
Learn more about the Green Dragons in this video:
The film is targeted for 30-50 minutes and will feature the ongoing interviews with all involved in the project as we build our bodies and minds. We also plan on having a ton of good martial arts training montages to highlight the art and show our progress. Filmmaker Mike Cermak has a PhD in the Sociology of Environmental Education and has produced dozens of videos with urban youth about their environmental and education experience. He also has one short film "Planting For Peace: Bury Seeds, Not Bodies"(2010) that he produced and co-wrote with urban youth about their connection of gardening with movements to stop gang violence (read an article about the program behind the film here).
Please help us make this project happen! We have some nice kickbacks for donors including tickets to our opening night, private lessons in kung fu, tai chi and even Parkour, private screenings and a guaranteed copy of the film.
Risks and challenges
Traveling to China will be no small feat, and the many logistics of travel are one hurdle we face. Fortunately, we will have our host, Master Bing, write us a letter welcoming the project to help us secure the travel visas. All involved in the project have passports and are ready to go!
Besides travel and funding the other aspects of the project are secure. They mostly involve filming in Boston after we return which is pretty straightforward. If for any reason we can't make it to China we will include this process in the film and start raising more funds for next year. We still intend to make a film about all the Green Dragons programs and summer camps.
Another risk is that one of us gets injured during training here or abroad. Injury in martial arts training is inevitable and we often view it more as "conditioning." This risk is another part we will incorporate into the film should any injuries occur and plan to show any recuperation process to add to our theme of healing (cross your fingers for us!).

Roger's greatest Space Quest adventure yet
The Good
Sierra's fourth instalment in the Space Quest franchise was released in the early Nineties to very positive reception, and I can see why. Having already played the second game, I was glad that my favorite enemy returned. If you have played the second game like I did, let me give you a recap: Roger Wilco, space janitor and hero of the day, managed to shut down Vohaul's life support system and stopped a machine that planned to infest Xenon with genetically-engineered life insurance salesman.Roger thought that he saw the last of him. But, no. Using a tracking device, Vohaul finds out that Roger is on Magmetheus and sends his Sequel Police to the planet and destroy him. Fortunately for Roger, two guys help Wilco escape by allowing him to enter a Time Rip that sends him forward in time. He ends up being stranded in a post-apocalyptic Xenon, in the Space Quest XII time era, in which the only signs of life are two creatures that roam the surface and will destroy Roger on sight. And so the majority of the game has Roger time-traveling to different places and running away from the Sequel Police.
What I really liked most about Space Quest IV is the time-traveling aspect of it. One of the time periods that he ended up in is a time where Roger's home planet Xenon is nothing but a pile of rubble. There isn't much life here but two creatures that can kill him on sight. The SP headquarters looms in the distance, with lightning striking it every now and then. Both it and the orange sky provides some atmosphere to the whole thing. There are other time periods to explore, including the one from the EGA version of Space Quest.
If you haven't played the VGA remake of Space Quest, you will realize two extra icons in the icon bar: the smell and taste icons. Both of these form most of the humor in the game, as clicking them on most objects in each screen will generate a humorous response. You also go exploring in a shopping mall, after being ditched by the "Latex Babes of Estros", and reading the product descriptions in Radio Shock (or Hz. So Good in the CD version) and each game title in the software store is amusing.
At the time of its release, VGA cards were becoming popular, so it made sense for Sierra to take advantage of these cards. This means that the game boasts 256 colors, a first for a Space Quest game (not counting the Space Quest remake). Mostly all of the hand-painted backgrounds look fantastic. As I mentioned before, you enter the time era reminiscent of the original version of Space Quest. The graphics have been downgraded AGI-style, and I liked how the dialog boxes have a red and black border to match the original's.
The game also supports a variety of sound cards. Sure, hearing the soundtrack through the Sound Blaster is excellent and beats the PC Speaker hands down, but using the Roland MT-32 is awesome. Even the sound of the player being awarded a point is quite satisfying. Having said that, SQ4 must be the first Space Quest game not to have its theme at the beginning of the game. The music is identical in both versions (disk and CD), but I prefer the sound effects in the Disk version.
The CD-ROM version has the voice of Gary Owens, who was a regular of NBC's "Laugh-In" program years ago, way before my time. He is the narrator, and he provides some witty responses if you do certain meaningless actions in the game. The CD version also contains various tweaks that made sense at the time. Also, when I played the CD version, I wanted to keep dying on purpose just to hear Owens's amusing remarks as he reads out the text.
Removed is the copy protection from the disk version, which requires you to look up some coordinates in the manual. I miss laughing at Roger as he gets out of the time pod and is killed when you get the protection wrong three times.
The puzzles in the game are easy once you figure out what you're supposed to do, and they should take up to five minutes to solve. The most memorable one is near the end of the game, when you have to align the lasers in such a way that Roger won't get fried on his way to the Super Computer. There is also a nice arcade sequence where you have to pack some burgers, but it's much harder than that skimmer sequence from the first game. Apply for a job at Monolith Burger and you will find out why.
The Bad
Games released by Sierra are often plagued by CPU-related issues, where playing the game on a high-end system causes some sequences to run very fast. Space Quest IV (particularly the CD version) is no exception. When I first played this game on my Pentium 233 mHz machine, I had to mess around with the BIOS, disabling the Level 2 Cache, and play the game as normal. DOSBox didn't exist back then, so this was the norm.
The Bottom Line
This was the last game The Two Guys from Andromeda worked on together. After SQ4, they went their separate ways, but they would still work on the final two games individually. As far as the game is concerned, it is the first and only SQ game to deal with time-travel, mainly as a tool to escape something that would put an end to Roger's adventures once and for all. SQ4 is a very god game that improves upon the previous games, with its great graphics and sound, and its fair dose of puzzles. It is also the favorite of many Space Quest fans out there, but this has to be my second favorite over The Pirates of Pestulon.Buy Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers

1. |
Dry roast spices (salt, both types of peppercorns and chili) in a pan over a low heat until salt starting to turn golden and spices fragrant.

3. |
Once cool grind with the mortar and pestle to a fine consistency.
4. |
Mix through the rice flour.

Heat oil in a wok or saucepan to 180 degrees Celsius (a sugar thermometer is the safest and best way to check your temperature).
6. |
Cut squid into thin strips (or score lightly with knife and cut into larger pieces) keep the legs whole.
7. |
Dust lightly in the flour mix and cook a small batch at a time to retain the heat in the wok to give your squid crunch.
8. |
Drain onto absorbent paper and place onto you plate.
9. |
Serve with some chopped coriander over the top, a bit more salt if you wish and also some lime wedges, great with an Asian beer.
10. |
This recipe works well using prawns or tofu – have a play!!

Semillon, Pinot Gris and Dessert Wines are the best wines to pair with Salt & Pepper Squid.

Write a ReviewCaution: MADE IN CHINA
By James Cook from Idaho Falls on Sep 02, 2014
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Bought this bike for my wife and it also fell apart. Gears were supposed to be simple but the chain kept falling off and locking up everytime you went 5 feet or wanted to shift. I decided to ride it once and the cheap plastic chinese made pedal fell right off. You need the wrentch to addjust the seat which is near impossible for a woman (not being sexist) to get loose.

"Not the Best Value"
Bedcovers were soiled and the hotel was loud (freeway noise). There was a 1/2-inch gap under the door, which did nothing to dampen the noise. Service was fine. Cost was too high for the accommodations.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel review of America's Best Value"
Toilet seat was a little ragged. It was all okay overall, especially for the price. Great coffee machine in office.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Low Rates; Small rooms; Budget friendly"
Inexpensive room rates for North Bay Area; Low budget but utilitarian.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"business trip"
room was small but clean and the bed was very very comfortable definitely have been replaced recently.the staff was nice and accommodated all my needs.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great stay"
Awesome.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A good value tucked away"
Small but very clean, lots of surprisingly expensive (ie marble and granite surfaces) touches. Recommend and plan to stay for future trips.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
So so you got what you pay for staff was OK Lacatiin not perfect but not so nestyGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not too bad"
It was fine for an overnight stay. The hotel is on the 101 so a bit noisy but cheap for the area and not in too bad condition. We were comin back drom stinson beach and wanted to sleep before heading into sf the next day without spending a couple hundred bucks and we got it and wereinly across golden gate bridge.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice place"
It was almost perfec but if you meed to rest and you have a light sleep, the noise of the cars can bother you a lot.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"You get what you pay for."
uneventful. Was a little lower scale than where I usually stay. Would have liked coffee in the room. However, I did not want to spend more money than what I did. reasonably clean, comfortable large bed,tv.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel within 15 min of El Cerrito"
The Drive from hotel into Oakland across the John F. McCarthy Memorial Bridge was very scenic.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good budget lodgings"
The building appeared kind of old, but everything in the room was surprisingly nice and new. Low amenity hotel with a lot of traffic noise, friendly staff and convenient location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
ok place for the night,...that's about it...cheapest in the areaGenuine Expedia guest review
"Our get away"
Hotel is very clean, right on the side of the freeway. Only thing was that the guy at the front desk couldn't understand us, we went to ask for any nearby restaurant and he just said what and I repeated myself and he ignored my question. Overall it's a decent hotel, very comfortable and clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
High price for a room slightly larger than a closet. Left at 7:30 am and the office still want open to get a cup of coffee.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to work."
I travel for work, the hotel was a convenient distance to San Francisco, the room was neat & clean, bed was very comfortable, bonus for having microwave and fridge, staff was friendly, only downer was the carpet needed cleaning & kept the closet closed, smelled old. Very quiet place.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Drab hotel near freeway"
Thotel and its staff is completely devoid of charm. It is located next to the 101 freeway; unless you are dead tired the noise will lkeeep you awake.The room has the amenities you would expect, but does not invite one to spend any time there unless absolutely required by fatigue.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Noisy, noisy, noisy"
So close to the 101 you could hit a car with a stone from the hotel window. Guests came in all hours of the night clomping up tile steps, talking in the hall, slamming doors. The maids woke us up to clean the room 2 hours before check out. And, we arrived 2 hours after check in time and had to wait 25 minutes for the room to be cleaned.Genuine Expedia guest review
The hotel was just acceptable as a cheap last minute place to stay. The floor boards creaked like crazy, the bathroom door wouldn't shut, the walls barely muffled the road noise from the freeway outside, and the bathroom shower was a little mildewy. If you are staying for awhile, look for something better.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Terrible room"
The room was previously a smoking room and was heavily perfumed to cover the smell but still the pillows and bed smelled. The room was tiny tiny. Just a really bad experience for my $149 plus tax and fees. last night i stayed at a travel lodge for less then that and it was great. needless to say i already booked a room for tonight IsabelleGenuine Expedia guest review
"Near shopping and thruway"
We only booked this hotel because all others in the area were full on this night. We were happy that we only had to stay there one night. It was clean and comfortable enough for the price in that area, but there are no amenities, no restaurant and only one person working reception. Nothing really to complain about specifically, but we would prefer to […] stay at a nicer hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Low quality"
15 parking place for 15 cars, and there are 18 to 20 rooms. If you arrive after 8pm, you will park on the street. Our room was dark, daytime turn on all light in the room. Three feet from the window there is a wall, air is musty, or burned oil smell from the neighbors restaurant. Coffee is terrible, and there is not neither milk, nor sweetener, only […] sugar. Cleaning lady is nice, friendly, and helpful, but the receptionists are tired or don't like their job. We survived the two days, but next time we will slep somewhere else. Old building, freeway is close, lot of noise. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"not bad"
Good price considering just 15 minutes from San Fran. Rooms were clean, good housekeeping. We had 2 rooms and ones bathroom was more up to date than the other. Maybe in due time the other bathroom will get remodeled. Nice area with plenty of good eating options near by.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Needs Soundproofing"
Hotel was pretty much OK. Its next to a freeway, but needs soundproofing. I used earplugs, and was fine -- but I used to hitchhike and sleep in dumpsters, so my tolerance for noise is probably higher than most. Room is old, but bed was remarkable comfortable. The staff were really pleasant and nice. Bathroom clean, shower was hot so no complaints. […] Its not a luxury place at all but was convenient for my needs. Parking is a challenge, its located next to a very popular restaurant and finding a space on the property is hard. There is nearby enough street parking so workable. I would stay there again if I needed to, but probably would not seek out the place on purpose. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Clean, low cost, friendly"
My wife and I just needed a place to stay on our way to Sonoma. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean and updated but the building itself is a bit old and worn. Noisy next to the freeway but easy to find and Marin Joe's next door was a great meal. A good value at a low price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel in a cute little town"
This is an older hotel on the Redwood Freeway. The bed was very comfortable and front desk staff was helpful and polite.Traffic noise was noticeable and a little annoying. The only issue I had with the room was the mold in the bathroom shower. Could have been cleaner. But overall good value for the money.Genuine Expedia guest review
Small parking lot. Had a room with a shower no bath. very small room. The desk was half the size of most hotel desks. No coffee pot. No ironing board. Not friendly staff. Bathroom was half the size of most hotel rooms. Would not stay here again. Very uncomfortable bed.Genuine Expedia guest review
"small budget hotel but clean room and good service"
The guy on the front desk was friendly, he changed my room at my request since I don't want to get room on the first floor facing road. The room was small but very comfortable and very clean. Bathroom was very clean and everything was in top order. For money it is not a bad choice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel for the price."
Although there was a reoccurring problem with the internet, I had a very pleasant stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel for the price."
Although there was a reoccurring problem with the internet, I had a very pleasant stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
Nice hotel. Fair price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"To close for comfort"
The room was alright, nice bed and clean. My issue was no breakfast, or lack of even simple doughnuts, fruit or anything. Coffee only just don't cut it when you pay over 40 for a room, period. The other issue is that the hotel butts up against (within feet) of an apartment complex. This complex has cars that overflow into the hotels parking space and […] area and on the street. Some of the tenants have a questionable character. Sorry, but I am just like that and had a hard time sleeping thinking that my car was going to be broken in to or taken. As far as the owners, they were nice, polite and helpful. The issue is they own/manage a hotel in the location that it is in. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean, no frills"
Bed was very very comfortable. Room was clean. Traffic noise could be muted with fan on. Bathroom small, no tub but for the price, the place was great. Front desk staff could have been a little more friendly!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pleasantly surprised!"
This is an Old motel that has been retrofit to feel more modern. There is still more work to be done, but they have really made an effort to make the rooms nice. The rooms are small, but furnishings are nice, bed was great, granite on the bathroom floor (Cold!), good microwave and television. No coffee in room, but good coffee really close up the street. […] For the price, it was great. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Closest to my son's home, restaurants & the Mall."
We enjoyed staying at your hotel. This is be our home away from home when we visit Corte Madera & San Francisco. Thanks for great service!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No frills!"
Clean, a little noisy from freeway, but dark inside when you close the blinds.Comfortable bed. All I needed was sleep, and that worked out fine.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great price close to the Golden Gate, BUT..."
Great price for being 10 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge. Weird access road. The staff were indifferent that you were staying there. They were still asleep at 845 am when we checked out and bothered that I woke them up to turn in my key. Small room with a tiny bathroom. The closet was as big as the bathroom. Got what we paid for, value and absolutley […] nothing else. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to fishing."
Decent place.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Better than sleeping in the car"
Room smelled funny. Toilet continually made noise throughout the night. Front desk guy was nice. Worse than a Motel 6. But it was the only place available so had to do. Better than camping in a tent I suppose.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Older Structure, But Clean & Convenient"
The building is of older type construction, but has been updated with flat screen TV, DVD player and cable. It was clean, convenient and as close as it is to Hwy. 101, relatively quiet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"middle ofMarin county to look for rentals"
Staff was courteous and friendly. Very nice, parking a little sticky. Might have a plan for big trucks.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"dirty and freeway traffic noise"
Hotel is right next to the freeway with no weather stripping or sound proofing around door so the traffic noise was really loud all night. If I had earplugs I could have overlooked how dirty it was and the overpriced rate. Expedia refunded full amount of rate. They were really helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
"a place to rest your head"
Bed was comfy, the furniture all looked new, the carpet super clean, fresh paint, desk and chair, wall mounted big TV. So what were the negatives? small room, about 14x14, the bathroom was 6x6, the shower30"x30". It is right next to highway 101 so noisy, but the manager gave us rm. 128. Ask for it. It is the only room where the window doesn't face the […] freeway. There is a big tree outside further dampening the noise. We were there on business and just needed a place to sleep for a couple of nights. If you are going for vacation you might want a bigger place. Nothing around to see, but super close to all the "tourist" stuff. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The motel is CLEAN and without scents!"
We love this motel! NO scents, No perfumes, No cigarette odor! Great bed! We had a quiet room. Will definitely stay here when we're in Marin.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Solid Place for a Quick, One Night Stay"
This is a solid hotel that's located conveniently near the freeway, the mall, and restaurants and is in a safe area. The rooms are clean, there is free wireless internet and the price was right. It's not particularly exciting and I wouldn't recommend this for a multi-stay visit to the area. However, for a quick, one night stay you get a lot of value. […] I'd stay there again if I were passing through. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"reasonable value"
The hotel is very close to the busy 101 highway so is noisy. I slept fine though! Only the fan worked on the AC and the base of the door had a larger than normal gap to the floor. The furnishings were good and the room was clean but apart from parking the hotel offers nothing else. Marin Joe's is next door and is EXCELLENT. Peet's coffee is a few minutes […] stroll back toward town. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Front desk guy was completely unhelpful and not at all friendly or welcoming. Room AC didn't work, very hot and stuffy. Generally smelled like a warm mildewy odor, not very pleasant. Hotel faces highway, can hear it from the room. Absolutely in no way imaginable is this hotel worth the $125 a night I paid. Bad experience.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We did a 25 mile historic walk starting at North end of Golden Gate Bridge and through S.F. Had to be at bridge by 5:30. Therefore this hotel was close to that point and close to Tiburon and Sausalito for nice dining. Nothing fancy at hotel--just okGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"First visit"
Room musty, television did not work, loud traffic noise.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not a great value"
Beds are not "queen", but "full". No coffeemaker in room. Rooms are tiny. Walls are paper-thin, so you can hear your neighbors, and all the traffic outside, as this hotel is right by a major highway. Smoke from smokers outside also seeps inside the room. Location is great, very near many outdoor and indoor attractions.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

You can not call the resort directly to make changes. The resort only has your reservation in their system something like 5 days before you check in. You need to call the reservation number to make changes.
The above is true about when the resort gets your reservation for room assigning or requests. But even if you are checking in tomorrow (or a day or two in advance), you still must call DRC or your travel agent (if you used one) for changes to your reservation. For changes, I mean such things as change of dates, change of room category, or party mix on a package. The resort computer system will not allow changes to reservations prior to check in. That is completely a function of the reservation system. Disney's entire system is designed for the reservation center to take care of future guests and the resorts to take care of guests that are inhoused.
As others have said, you have to call the regular reservation number. Calls for each individual resort do not go to the resorts directly, but are routed to a call center. The call is answered as if someone was actually at that resort, but it is someone in a call center rather than that particular resort.
