I need to get a little work done while out on the town today, so I headed down one of St. Paul, Minnesota's shopping districts, Grand Avenue, in search of a coffee shop with WiFi access. Finding a coffee shop in St. Paul that doesn't have WiFi would be tougher than finding one that does, but not all coffee shop WiFi is the same.
Here is a picture of a Starbucks on Grand Avenue:
This picture was taken and uploaded by me from a Caribou Coffee across the street. Caribou Coffee has free WiFi - Starbucks does not. My money was spent at Caribou.
I wonder if I could reach Caribou's WiFi signal from the Starbucks across street?

I avoid Starbucks at all cost. Caribou and Dunn Brothers are both free and if I can't find one of those I'll go for a Panera Bread.
Yours is a timely post...the New York Times just posted that WiFi should be free just like air conditioning...
Another vote for Panera here. I always find plenty of space at Panera and they have a decent selection of food and drink to keep me satisfied while working away on their wifi. Starbucks really missed the boat on this one.
Yeah, Caribous are nice, but noisy. Do they buy their machines based on how much friggin' noise they generate? The Dunn's on Prairie Center Drive across from Eden Prairie Center is a great place...nice and quiet, plus more and better seating than I've seen in any Caribou (or Starbucks).
Caribou goes out of the box to provide service. At a newly opened store in Bloomington this winter I was told that their WiFi was not in place as yet but if I sat in a certain window I could hook into Brueggers across the street.
Learn to like Caribou. They went out of their way to make your day easier; they deserve your business. Kudos or spending your money there!
Agreed on the Panera scene. I've written about them here.
Dave, I'm pretty indifferent on the difference in coffee between the two. I'm generally more likely to hit a local spot than a chain.
Just to add to the conversation, one of the worst experiences I've had with free WiFi was Buffalo Wild Wings. It seemed to insert an annoying Wild Wings ad page (landing page) every 10 minutes or so.
That's interesting about Buffalo Wild Wings. Wings and WiFi don't mix all that well unless you have some sort of non-stick keyboard. Throw an ad interruption into the mix, and I'm even more turned off thinking about surfing from their locations. That seems a little over the top considering that you'll already be getting plenty of marketing messages from waiters, table tents, signs all over the place, menus, etc.
The funny thing is that Caribou offered free wireless because they were getting wasted by their other competition, namely Panera. I talked with one Caribou rep who said that since Panera had started offering free wi-fi their store visits (especially among the laptop crew) plummetted. Now they offer it free. It's a good thing too.
Down with Starbucks! Friggin watered-down slew...
Look, I know that this is a little off topic... but I just read this article:
That talks about the most admired companies in the US... and Caribou is no where to be found. Just and FYI
I'm still boycotting Caribou due to the fact that it's still nearly 90% owned by the First Islamic Investment Bank of Baharain, and after Caribou was boycotted a few years ago, one of the pre-eminent world supporters of terrorism stepped down as a director of that bank. So I'm not 100% convinced that some Caribou profits are not going to terrorist groups - our nation's enemies. In other words, do you really want to go to Caribou for free Wi-Fi when you know that you may be supporting your own destruction?
Another vote for Caribou here. I'll go anywhere but starbucks. I love Starbucks coffee, but not the high priced WIFI.
I must say that I love going to Panera Bread. You have to be careful because a few of the spots in the store are dead. I think Buffalo Wireless needs to take a look at their antenna positioning. Right now though, I am headed to Bruegger's Bagels to eat a heavy breakfast and get my presentation done for Thursday. Starbucks really disappoints me. I understand that they make a TON of money from T-Mobile, but I know they would make a ton more money with all of my Iced Quad Venti Nonfat Extra Caramel Caramel Macchiatos they are missing out on. Do you guys have any good local establishments you frequent for free wi-fi?

me, 2.0: jose nazario
beauty and the street
another pink flower
here's our house's recipe for a refreshing lime-aid ...
1/2 cup of lime juice
3/4 cup sugar
one handful of mint leaves, washed and squeezed
bring this up to one quart with water, shake, chill, and enjoy. the mint leaves help crispen up the taste after a day or so, yet a quart rarely lasts more than a day around here.
it's also good to mix it with lemonade in a 50-50 mixture.

ASHEBORO, N.C. — All crime cases in all 100 counties in North Carolina that need DNA analysis have to go to the state crime lab in Raleigh. Joan Harris's case was one of them.
"We need answers to what happened to her for us to move on," explains Zachary Byrd, Joan's son.
Harris was found shot to death in her apartment back in December. Since then her family hasn't heard any developments on the case. "Absolutely nothing. We might as well be on day two since she died," says Byrd.
It took Asheboro Police four months to get the results back from the state crime lab. They told us this is still an open investigation and they haven't made any arrests.
Several other cases are still waiting in the state lab to be examined. And they've been waiting there for a while.
"There is nobody in the state that is more frustrated than I, as the director of the laboratory, or the men and woman and scientist in the laboratory," explains Joseph John, director of the state crime lab.
Crime lab officials see about 3,900 cases that come into the DNA section. It would take 116,000 hours and 55 scientists, with no time off to handle all those 3,900 cases. Currently the state crime lab has 24 DNA scientists.
"We are doing everything we possibly can with what we've got to be as effective and as efficient as possible.
"The bottom line is more law enforcement officers, more district attorney's, more clerks of court are not going to get the cases from our laboratories to trial unless we are able to present that evidence and we don't have the people to do that now," explains John.
John says in order to hire more workers they need more money from the state.
"We've got teachers that are wanting money, we've got developmentally disabled people, we've got the Medicaid problem. We have so many issues," explains Representative Pat Hurley.
Hurley tells FOX8 this DNA backlog will be discussed as part of the budget during the General Assembly.
Joan's family is still waiting to hear what happened to their mom.
"It`s unacceptable; there's no excuse for this," says Gena Byrd, Joan's daughter.

You have to be careful, because counterfeiting is a bit 'found in China today.
Note that many parts of China, and small towns do not accept credit cards or travelers' checks and not accept RMB. Need cash.

Hello Dr. Patty,
Okay...so this orange tint is normal. Is it because I'm older ? Well, I did notice that younger women in their twenties have noticed this, too. It is the color of a blood orange (the fruit) and I have no foul odor with it. I just know that my menstrual blood has always been bright red and so I was concerned. I had some other health issues going on with me since last early summer and I thought maybe this was relative.
So, orange-ish is okay ? Why would it suddenly change to this color if it was always bright red, all of my life ?
Thank you...sounds good. I do not have excess vaginal mucus when I am not on my period--just some around ovulation. I did have a normal pap last July. I had abnormal ones a couple of years prior because of mild dysplasia due to HPV. I had the LEEP and my last couple of PAPs have been normal.
Can the Surepath pap be as accurate as the Thin-prep for detecting abnomalities with your pap ? The Dr. used Surepath last time. Just curious. Want to make sure my last normal pap was really accurate.
Dr. Patty,
I have another question...I have also had light-headedness that comes and goes since last early summer. I think that it may be hormone related, because I think I become more "woozy" when I have PMS or am menstrual. It was worse over the summer but has gotten better. Many things were going on with me at the same time, so it is hard for me to pinpoint what is causing my "wooziness". It started, like I mentioned...last early summer, seemingly after I had a bout of allergies/sinusitis and had used Zicam Extreme Congestion nasal spray (only off and on for a couple of weeks). I also used Benadryl only occasionally. Then the ENT doc did a scope...said I have chronic allegic rhinitis. I just moved to an area known for bad allergies/asthma. prescribed Meclizine and a Rx anitihistamine spray. I have always been very sensitive to meds because of my MVP (I've read that people with MVP have low tolerance for certain meds, etc.). I used them and after, I noticed the light-headedness/wooziness. But I had also gotten new, stronger eyeglass Rx and thought maybe I was getting used to my glasses or maybe they were too strong. I checked with the eye doc and he said they are the right Rx for me. Then I started having anxiety (possibly side effects from the meds/sprays and caffeine usage, and I had also started using artificial sweeteners (Splenda) and drinking diet drinks for the first time in my life, a year prior. I had gotten myself all worked up and anxious...brought on episodal high blood pressure, panick attacks (never experienced before in my life !) because I couldn't find a cause for my light-headedness, which is bothersome and scary at times. It is milder now. I don't have the spinning dizziness...it's a weird, woozy-weak feeling. It doesn't last long usually. But sometimes the whole day I'll feel like I'm floating or just "woozy". I did also start having GERD and the doc put me on Protonix for a couple of months. I no longer take this. I think the reflux was from the worrying, the use of antihistamines, and earlier last Spring I had taken a baby aspirin a day for a couple of months...I had read online that it can help with trying to become pregnant if you have elevated ANA, which I have known about since the year 1999. I have had no luck with getting pregnant, but have not been ready have lots of reproductive tests yet. Thought I'd try the baby aspirin. I discontinued that when I started having reflux.
So...I have discontinued the diet drinks, the baby aspirin, the antihistamines, the nasal sprays, the Protonix. I have cut-back on chocolate tremendously, I had starting drinking coffee again--and recently stopped again. I never drank more than 1-2 cups per day, anyway. I quit eating microwave dinners and most foods with MSG...thinking I may have a sensitivity...causing my wooziness. I have also had what I think are "hot flashes", but they are usually during the day and I thought they may be related to the GERD...because my upper stomach and under my breasts would get really hot for a little bit.
As you can see...I have been experiencing all sorts of new health issues and I am very frustrated. I am probably overwhelming you with all of these things, but I have been to the doctors. I had an Ultrasound of the Abdomen that was normal. I had a CT and EEG of the head and they were normal. Right before all of these problems, other than the wooziness, started...I had normal labs, normal ECG.
Do you have any suggestions of what I should check ? I never had this wooziness until last Spring. I never had this or any other health issues, other than elevated ANA and MVP.
Thanks for your suggestions...
Thank you for any suggestions...
I still had the occasional wooziness even when my blood pressure was normal. I thought maybe it could be my blood sugar, but it's always normal when fasting tested. I have never had the actual glucose tolerance test. Maybe that's an idea. I do tend to feel better after eating sometimes...but sometimes it makes it worse. Don't know if it's something I'm eating...if it's blood pressure, blood sugar, hormonal, anxiety, MVP, eye-sight related/visual, GERD/ulcers, allergies/sinusitis. Could be a million things and I'm very frustrated trying to figure it out. Where should I start at the doctor ?
