5 Storylines to Follow During Dallas Cowboys Training Camp
5 Storylines to Follow During Cowboys Training Camp
Training camp is well underway for the Dallas Cowboys, and as with every team in camp there are storylines to follow.
As you know, the Cowboys have implemented a lot of changes this offseason thanks in part to back-to-back 8-8 seasons, which ended in disappointment. Those changes, however, have come with their fair share of scrutiny.
One of the biggest and most obvious changes is the switch from the 3-4 defense to the 4-3 under the guidance of Tampa Cover 2 mastermind Monte Kiffin. The Cowboys hope that the switch from the 3-4 to the 4-3 will take advantage of the playmaking ability of some of their more notable players as in the cases of defensive ends DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer, linebackers Sean Lee and Bruce Carter and cornerbacks Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr to name a few.
Another change, and one that I'm particularly excited about, is happening on the offensive side of the ball where the Cowboys brought in Frank Pollack to be the team's assistant offensive line coach. Pollack, along with offensive coordinator Bill Callahan, is in the process of implementing a zone-blocking scheme similar to the scheme that the Washington Redskins and Houston Texans run. The Cowboys, as well as many analysts, see this move as one that will finally unleash DeMarco Murray and allow him to thrive because Murray's one-cut running style suits the zone blocking scheme better than what the Cowboys were previously running.
There are many questions that the back-to-back 8-8 Cowboys must answer, and with the NFC East up for grabs; they must pull together during training camp and prove they can overcome their woes. In case you needed more reason to pay attention to your favorite team, here are five storylines worth keeping an eye on during training camp.
Jesus Flores is a Dallas Cowboys writer for RantSports.com. Follow him on Twitter @SSgtFlo1 or add him to your network on Google
5. Installing the "12" and "13" Personnel Offense
The Cowboys are trying to implement more two, and three tight end looks on offense, known as the "12" personnel and "13" personnel sets.
During training camp, the Cowboys must figure out if it will be possible to do so with the tight ends currently on the roster. The Cowboys went out and spent their second round pick on tight end Gavin Escobar, so I hope they figure it out sooner rather than later.
4. Improvements on the Offensive Line
The Cowboys offensive line was one of the weakest areas on the team in 2012, so the team drafted center Travis Frederick in the first round to help anchor the interior of the line. They have also expressed a lot of confidence in second-year guard Ron Leary, and are giving him every opportunity to earn a starting job.
That's all good-and-well, but is it enough? Is it enough to keep the opposing defenses from collapsing the interior of the offensive line, leading to immediate pressure in quarterback Tony Romo's face? Is it enough to open running lanes for running back DeMarco Murray? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
3. Defense's Adjustment to the 4-3
The Cowboys are transitioning from the 3-4 to the 4-3, and it appears that, for many of the players on defense, the transition will be a seamless one; however, the Cowboys have been dealing with a multitude of injuries along the defensive front and have yet to see what Jay Ratliff and Anthony Spencer can actually do out of this set.
2. Veterans That Will Be Forced Out the Door
One of my favorite parts of training camp is seeing which young players make an immediate impact because it creates competition where there once may have not been any. This year is no different because the Cowboys have some young players with a lot of potential, and some veterans that just haven't lived up to expectations. That means the vets could ultimately be forced out of a job.
1. Tony Romo's Health
The Cowboys have been fairly quiet this offseason and managed to keep the fact that Romo had a minor procedure done to remove a cyst off his back, but now that the Cowboys are in training camp, Romo has still been limited somewhat, which brings up the question of "is he fully recovered?"
The Cowboys have relied on Romo as their main source of offense the last few years, and if he's not healthy heading into the season, the Cowboys may as well throw any expectations that they had for this season out the window.

Offers of Admission to International Graduate Students Decline
September 22, 2009
The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) reports that offers of admission to prospective international students fell by 3 percent from fall 2008 to fall 2009. This is the first decline in offers of admission since 2004. Furthermore, although the number of prospective international students applying to U.S. graduate schools increased 4 percent between 2008 and 2009, the rate of increase continued to slow for the third consecutive year.
The results of the 2009 CGS International Graduate Admissions Survey, Phase II: Final Applications and Initial Offers of Admission show that offers of admission to prospective graduate students from India and South Korea fell 16 percent for each country in 2009. At the same time, offers to prospective students from China registered a fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth, with an increase of 13 percent. Admissions offers to prospective students from the Middle East & Turkey increased 10 percent in 2009, following a 13 percent gain in 2008.
This year's increase in international graduate applications was driven in part by double-digit growth in applications from China (up 14%) and the Middle East & Turkey (up 22%). However, applications from prospective students from both India and South Korea fell in 2009, with declines of 12 percent and 9 percent, respectively. In addition, this year's rebound in total international applications was not large enough to reverse the declines that many institutions reported in the first CGS international applications and admissions survey conducted in 2004. The total number of international applications received in 2009 remains 5 percent below 2003 levels.
"The decline in admissions of international students this year, after several years of slowing growth, is a concern for U.S. graduate education," said Debra W. Stewart, CGS President. "It is clear from the data that institutions were more likely to have increases in applications from, and offers of admission to, U.S. citizens and permanent residents than prospective international students."
The full report is available from CGS.

The KPS 40 involves performance in hospice patients; this level means disabled; needs special care and assistance. It is one of the "lightest" levels in performance care in hospice if that makes sense.
I hope this helps.

No one here can tell how long your family member will survive; I've worked in health care long enough to continue to be surprised on how long even very ill folks can survive and sometimes perk right up, especially in a home setting. Even the health care team likely can't give an idea of length of life for this person. Sorry....

I recently had a physical and all of the blood tests were good except they said I had a slightly low white blood cell count. She said it was like a 4 when they use a 5.
I know there are different ranges of normal for stuff like this but I worry a lot and suffer from anxiety and I am freaking out.
The Dr. wants to retest in 3 months which scares me even more. Has anyone any experience with this? What is normal? I saw on the Mayo Clinic website that their normal range was 3.5-10.5 so now I am confused about all of this.
If a Dr. could help I would appreciate it. I think next week I am going to ask my Dr. for a personal visit to discuss the results but I am worried right now.
Sorry to rambleView Thread

Using Calibration to Optimize Performance in Crucial Measurements
Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), a subsidiary of Loral Space and Communications and the world's leading provider of high-power commercial satellites, announced that the satellite that it built for ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Ltd., was successfully launched aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, FL. The satellite is the first to use Ground Based Beam Forming (GBBF) technology and is the largest commercial satellite ever launched. It successfully deployed its solar arrays several hours after separation and will begin firing its thrusters in order to maneuver into geosynchronous orbit.
ICO G1 will be used to provide fully interactive mobile video, navigation and emergency assistance service, known as ICO mim™ (mobile interactive media), throughout the US including Alaska and Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
"We are very excited to see the successful launch of ICO G1," said John Celli, president and chief operating officer of Space Systems/Loral. "Space Systems/Loral has a history of working with companies on the cutting edge of new technologies. I believe that this launch marks the beginning of a new era of unimpeded mobility." ICO G1 is the biggest commercial launched to date, measuring more than 27 feet tall and weighing 15,000 pounds at launch. Deployed, its solar array span more than 100 feet across and it has a 12 meter unfurlable reflector, which will open up like an umbrella when the satellite reaches its final orbit.
Space Systems/Loral is now maneuvering the spacecraft into its operational slot by managing thruster firing from its Mission Control Center in Palo Alto, CA. The spacecraft has a planned mission life of 15 years and is designed based on SS/L's 1300 space-proven platform, which provides the flexibility to support a broad range of applications and technology advances.

Mills has been interested in Chd5 since the time that her team first discovered it in 2007 as a potent tumor suppressor, one that can stop cells from becoming cancerous. "We know this ability has something to do with chromatin remodeling -- that when defective, causes normal cells to transform into tumors," says Mills. "But the most dramatic chromatin reorganization occurs when specialized cells carrying our genetic blueprint develop into sperm cells. It makes sense that Chd5 would be functioning there, too."
This, indeed, is what Mills and her team found. When Chd5 is missing, chromatin remodeling is disrupted. Histones are not efficiently replaced with protamines to repackage DNA, resulting in a more uneven, less condensed genome.
This change in DNA packaging has dramatic effects on the DNA itself. In the absence of Chd5, the double helix becomes damaged, breaking at multiple points throughout the genome. "So in addition to infertility, loss of Chd5 may put future generations the rare embryos that do get fertilized with defective sperm at risk for disease," says Mills. "Chd5 may protect a person from medical conditions related to DNA damage and spontaneous mutations, like cancer and autism."
The team is actively studying the role of Chd5 in human fertility. They analyzed Chd5 levels using data from testes biopsies obtained from men with fertility defects. "We found that men with more severe defects had the lowest levels of Chd5," says Mills. "While it is only a correlation at this point, we are eager to understand fully how Chd5 affects sperm development in humans."

Two F&SF Stories On 2015 Sturgeon List
On May 11, the finalists for the 2015 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for best short SF of 2014 were announced by The Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction. This year's list includes two stories from F&SF, "In Her Eyes" by Seth Chambers (Jan/Feb 2014) and "The Lightness of the Movement" by Pat MacEwan (Mar/Apr 2014).
Both "In Her Eyes" by Seth Chambers and "The Lightness of the Movement" by Pat MacEwan were also named 2014 James Tiptree Jr. Awards Honors stories.
The annual award honors short fiction in the spirit of Theodore Sturgeon, who was closely identified with the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Sturgeon is famous for his novel More Than Human, his book reviews, and the episodes he wrote for the original Star Trek series. But he is best known for the more than 200 stories he wrote.
Sturgeon's frequently reprinted story "The Hurkle is a Happy Beast" was published in Fall 1949 in the first issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and then selected for inclusion in The Best Science Fiction Stories: 1950. With its second issue, the new periodical changed its name to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Sturgeon published more than a dozen stories in F&SF between the first issue and 1983, including 1960 Hugo finalist "The Man Who Lost the Sea," 1963 Hugo finalist for novella "When You Care, When You Love," and 1969 Nebula finalist "The Man Who Learned Loving."
The Sturgeon Memorial Award is selected by a jury that consists of Elizabeth Bear, Andy Duncan, James Gunn, Kij Johnson, and Nöel Sturgeon, Trustee of the Theodore Sturgeon Literary Estate. A complete list of this year's finalists may be found at http://www.sfcenter.ku.edu/sturgeon-finalists.htm. The awards will be presented during the Campbell Conference on Friday, June 12, as part of the Campbell Conference held annually at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.
"The Fisher Queen" is a Shirley Jackson Award finalist
On May 7, the finalists for the 2014 Shirley Jackson Awards were announced and they include "The Fisher Queen" by Alyssa Wong from the May/June issue of F&SF.
"The Fisher Queen" is also a finalist for this year's Nebula Award for short story, which will be announced in Chicago in June.
The Shirley Jackson Awards are given in recognition of the legacy of Shirley Jackson's writing, for outstanding achievement in the literature of psychological suspense, horror, and the dark fantastic. They're voted upon by a jury of professional writers, editors, critics, and academics.
Shirley Jackson was a contributor to F&SF in the 1950s with her stories "One Ordinary Day, With Peanuts" (January 1955), "The Missing Girl" (December 1957), and "The Omen" (March 1958). Jackson, who lived from 1916 to 1965, wrote such classic novels as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and is famous for her story "The Lottery." Her work continues to be a major influence on writers of genre and literary fiction.
The 2014 Shirley Jackson Awards will be presented on Sunday, July 12, 2016, at Readercon 26, Conference on Imaginative Literature, in Burlington, Massachusetts. The complete ballot with all the nominees can be found at: http://www.shirleyjacksonawards.org/2015/05/07/2014-shirley-jackson-awards-nominees-announced/
Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine, originally titled The Magazine of Fantasy, was founded in 1949 by Anthony Boucher and J. Francis McComas…or was it? Describe, in 50 words or less, the secret origins of F&SF. Alternate histories, imagined conversations, and science-fictional (or magical) twists on the truth are more than welcome. Another welcomed element: funny.
Shirley Jackson and Theodore Sturgeon leave a little basket on the doorstep of Anthony Boucher with a tear-stained note: "Please take care of our baby. Raise it as if it were your own."
You have six chances to rewrite history before midnight EST, May 28th. Send your entries to email@example.com.
Please remember to include your telephone number and snail-mail address.
PRIZES: First prize will receive a subscription to F&SF good for the next sixty years along with a copy of The Diamond Jubilee. Second prize will receive advance reading copies of three forthcoming novels. Any runners-up will receive one-year subscriptions to F&SF. Results of Competition 78 will appear in the Oct/Nov. 2009 issue.
Judges are the editors of F&SF, and their decision is final. All entries become the property of F&SF.
Wall-E and Mel Hunter
If you haven't seen Wall-E yet, you should drop whatever you're doing and go see it right away because it's freaking awesome. Tor art director Irene Gallo agrees, and points out some interesting parallels between the robot design in the movie and the iconic covers Mel Hunter did for F&SF.

Blue whales do not have teeth; instead, they have large plates consisting of baleen, which is similar in texture to fingernails. After swallowing an enormous amount of seawater, blue whales use the baleen plates as a sieve for straining krill as the seawater expels from the animal.Know More
Blue whales are the largest animals on Earth, measuring up to 100 feet long and weighing as much as 200 tons or more. In a single day, an adult blue whale can ingest as much as 4 tons of krill. Scientists estimate that between 10,000 and 25,000 blue whales live in the world's oceans.Learn more about Marine Life
Blue whales are not skilled at protecting themselves and rely primarily on their large size, as they do not have many predators in the ocean. The blue whale will grow anywhere between 70 to 100 feet in length and weigh anywhere from 100 to 200 tons.Full Answer >
Blue whales typically breed during the winter or early spring after they have undergone a journey of several thousand miles, leaving the cold waters of the northern and southern hemispheres in favor of the warmer waters near the equator. The male and female engage in a complicated courtship ritual, rolling around each other and diving to the depths before engaging in sexual intercourse as they return to the surface.Full Answer >
Blue whales have been hunted by people since the 1700s because of the value of their blubber and body parts. Oil is one of the primary products generated from oil blubber. Blue whales have been used for production of oil used in lamps, candles and various beauty products.Full Answer >
Geese do not have teeth. Specifically, Canadian geese are not threatening to humans because they are unable to cause bite damage due to their lack of teeth.Full Answer >

How many times have you said or you've heard someone else say "Kids these days"" followed by some condemnation of the youth of the day. If you're over 30 you've probably said that at least a few times. Are kids today really more disrespectful, less ambitious, less responsible, etc. than kids of prior generations? Or is it that we get more cynical about kids, and things in general, as we age?
Consider this quote; "What is happening to our children? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets."
Sound familiar? We've all heard something like that before. Who said it? Plato, the Greek philosopher said it some 2,400 year ago. I first heard that quote on the 60's sitcom "My Three Son's". Wise and sagacious Mr. Douglas used that quote to prove a point to Uncle Charlie (If you remember the show you are smiling right now) concerning his negativity towards the behavior of the youth of the day. The point was that kids have not changed so much over the centuries. Likewise, our attitude towards kids hasn't changed. As we grow older we just think that the current generation of kids is less worthy of our respect than prior generations. We get more cynical with age.
So it is with this backdrop that I began to wonder if the current cynicism towards politicians is likewise, unwarranted. Are we all just getting more cynical about them because we are all getting older? Or, are they really more ineffectual, more partisan, and more lustful and greedy than they were 30, 50, or 100 years ago? One thing that has changed, due to technological advances, is the volume of and speed with which news about political shenanigans reaches us. So is it that we are just suffering from an increased awareness of their exploits or is political rancor and bad behavior really worse than it used to be?
Based upon my own observations and my reading of a book review in www.futurecasts.com of "The Broken Branch: How Congress is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track,"(Oxford Press, 2006) I'd have to say the answer is yes. The authors, Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein, describe the deterioration in the legislative and oversight processes of Congress. They also note that "the situation is nowhere near as bad as during the period prior to WW-I"Slavery tore the country apart during its first seventy five years under the Constitution".
But lets move forward to the last 100 or so years. Remember the sixties? The partisan chasm over such things as Medicare, Civil Rights, segregation, and Viet Nam divided not only Congress, but the nation. There really was rioting in the streets. Surprisingly, Congresses of yore still managed to get things done. Since then, however, changes in legislative procedures designed to give the party in control absolute control, the growth of corporate influence, and the emergence of the professional politician have stymied real political debate.
From the same book review quoted above, ""partisan rancor began to displace the civility and cozy relationship between the majority and minority that had existed during the long years when Democratic Party dominance was beyond challenge." Ethics charges became a weapon of choice in the post-Watergate political environment of the 1980s... As Speaker, Gingrich had centralized control of the House"he transformed it from a committee based to a party based legislature. [By 1998, Republican leaders had] embraced processes that set the stage for the virtual collapse of genuine deliberation in the House and fomented bitter and destructive relations between the two parties."
"The failure of the House to pull back from the [Clinton impeachment] precipice spoke volumes about the bitter partisan polarization that had come to shape life in the Washington community. Impeachment was just another weapon in the partisan wars, a further escalation of the criminalization of political differences." This in spite of the fact that ""Impeachment and investigations were partisan spectacles that a disgusted public refused to support."
So, perhaps we are more cynical about politicians because it is well deserved. As health care reform once again falters (remember "Hillary Care"?) it is we, the public, who suffer. "In Congress, they have a ""lack of concern about legislative craftsmanship -- that results in the production of poor laws and flawed policy." ""all too often, narrow political imperatives trump the national interest."
Until we get some real procedural and campaign finance reform political and legislative progress in the United States federal government will be virtually non-existent. The question then becomes, can our nation survive long term under such a political environment? An environment in which not only is there political gridlock due to obstructionist behavior from both sides of the aisle, but it is an environment in which the only thing they can seem to agree on is that military endeavors and expenditures are always approved, even to the detriment of social services, and even when it creates massive budget deficits.
It was that kind of environment that brought the end of the Soviet Union. Bankruptcy brought down the Soviets because they couldn't work together to develop a sane sense of priorities.
So, while our Congressmen act like children, unfortunately, unlike our children, our cynicism about them IS justified. What's needed then is to treat them like children. Put them in time-out. Better yet, since these children are old enough, kick them out of the house.

Historical Traveler Reviews Scandic Gamla Stan Stockholm
Super Stockholm
Just returned from a four day city break to Stockholm. We chose the Rica Hotel Gamla Stan for two reasons. One the hotel is very old, some of it dating back to 1650 and second we wanted a hotel in the Old Town (Gamla Stan) so that we were central. The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful. Our room was small but well appointed, and decorated in very much a Swedish style. The breakfast is very good with a wide selection of hot and cold food and drinks. The breakfast room is small and sometimes becomes very busy. Go to breakfast early is a good recommendation!
Stockholm is a walking city and there is lots to do. A must is a boat trip which can last between 1-2 hours visiting various places depending on the trip length. Other musts are the big shopping streets and a fabulous food market just to the east of City. Its in all the guide books.
We will certainly come back to Stockholm and would stay again at the Rica Hotel. The Old town is magical, not to large, and a very good place to base yourself for easy access to all that Stockholm has to offer .
Some good, some not so good rooms
We booked our room through Destination Stockholm. The desk clerk was very efficient at check in and said we had a room on the "courtyard." We opened our room door to find the bleakest, tiniest hotel room I can remember in all our travels. The furniture wasn't up to garage sale standards! And worst of all, the courtyard was actually a roof with plastic chairs, and our only window could have served as a door to anyone in the "courtyard." We would have had to keep the window closed or had no privacy or safety. And it was almost 80 degrees and warm in the room.
I've learned to never accept a bad room so I returned to the desk and was immediately given a key to a lovely room on a higher floor. The difference in rooms was night and day. Our second room looked like the photos on the website, had the promised Gustavian furniture, etc. My husband said our first room had looked like some room from a "spy novel."
The remainder of our stay was fine. The breakfast room was pretty, and the breakfasts were quite nice. The front desk personnel were helpful in giving directions, and we enjoyed the area. The roof terrace is a lovely spot.
There were two minuses. One, other reviews have said the hotel is on a quiet street. In general, that is true, but Friday night revelers managed to howl and hoot until about 3 in the morning.
Second, I overheard the desk clerk tell a man that no smoking rooms were available, but that she'd give him a non smoking room and would bring him ashtrays. I object to this practice and feel it is deceptive to label a room nonsmoking and then give guests permission to smoke in it.
Charming and Beautiful
First off I must address the ignorance of the travellers complaining that the rooms at the Rica Gamla Stan are small. Yes, they aren't as big as your average Ramada in the United States, but this hotel occupies a building dating from the 1600's! What do you expect?
I stayed here with my girlfriend and the room was definitely adequate in size for 2 people. Our room was located on the top floor near to the roof terrace which was perfectly lovely. The bathroom was only equipped with a walk in shower, but was certainly nice and had a great showerhead. As far as decor, the rooms are decorated in a fresh, old-world Scandinavian style and are very charming. The beds are also very comfortable, but I've noticed that is the case in most Scandinavian hotels...
In addition, the staff are very friendly, the breakfast exceptional and there is free internet in the lobby.
As far as location goes- for the first time visitor it couldn't be better- smack in the middle of the beautiful, historic Old Town. As I've been to Stockholm a number of times it wasn't the ideal location for me because it isn't exactly in the center of the major buzz of the city, ie shopping, nightlife, and restaurants, but still all that is only a 15 minute walk (a scenic one at that) away.
All in all I would highly recommend this hotel and I actually got a very reasonable rate through the Stockholm Tourist Board. (---)
Sehr zufrieden
Die Zimmer waren sehr klein, aber f�r Europa dann auch wieder nicht zu klein. Sehr sch�n eingerichtet. Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und das Personal sehr hilfsbereit. Die Lage in der Altstadt k�nnte nicht besser sein. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Es ist überhaupt nicht so
Nachdem ich einige positive Kritiken �ber dieses Hotel gelesen hatte, beschloss ich, dort ein Zimmer zu buchen. Aber ich wurde entt�uscht. Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage in Gamla Stan, aber das Zimmer war winzig, genauso wie das Badezimmer (es gab auch nur eine Dusche und keine Badewanne). Das Bett war viel zu weich, hat fast �berhaupt keinen Widerstand geleistet. Und das Zimmer wirkte dunkel, auch wenn es zur Stra�e hin war und zwei Fenster hatte. Vielleicht w�rden einige es "charmant" oder "urig" nennen, aber f�r 200 Euro/Nacht hatte ich etwas sch�neres erwartet. In meinen Augen ist es ein 3-Sterne-Hotel, wenn �berhaupt.
It's not all that
After reading some positive reviews on this hotel, I booked a room, but was disappointed with my choice. It is in a great location in Gamla Stan. But the room was tiny, as was the bathroom (which had only a shower and not a tub). The bed was way too soft, with virtually no support at all. And the room seemed dark, even though it faced the street and had two windows. I guess you could say it was "charming" or "quaint," but at over $250 dollars per night, I was expecting nicer. I would classify it as a 3-star hotel, at best.
Lovely hotel in a fab location
I stayed at this hotel a few years ago but it still sticks in my mind because of (a) the location and (b) the breakfast! The hotel is a block from the main shopping and dining streets of Gamla Stan (the Old Town) and the Royal Palace, and walking distance from the more modern parts of central Stockholm. Gamla Stan itself is simply beautiful, and as a woman travelling alone the location was perfect, as it was no distance from the restaurants of the old town back to the hotel, and I felt totally safe walking back at 10pm on a light summer's evening. The rooms are elegant and nicely presented, and although I had a single room and it wasn't big, it was totally adequate for my needs as I wasn't spending much time there anyway! And the breakfast was just magnificent, with everything from cereal, yoghurt, ham and cheese, bread rolls and hot foods through to pancakes with whipped cream! The breakfast really sets you up for the day and the variety was the best I've seen. Thoroughly recommend this hotel.
(I booked through Destination Stockholm and got a bargain package with a cheap rate + Stockholm Card thrown in! Worth a look...).
Very Happy
The rooms are rather small but not for Europe. Nicely appointed. The hotel is very clean and the staff is very helpful. The location to old town couldn't be better. Highly recommend.
Nice Hotel with good breakfast
Although not very appealing from the exterior, the interior reveals a clean hotel with old style decoration. The room was good and comfortable and the breakfast with variety and delicious pancakes.
Good location , tiny rooms
Superb location, but the rooms are really small. My single room was maximum 8 square meters big and it was supposed to be one of the larger rooms. I heard other guests constantly complaining about the size of the rooms. Nice breakefast , hotel neatly kept, but the 4 stars -title is certainly overrated.

For decades, the U.S. and Israel have played a game of not admitting what everyone knows – that Israel possesses a secret nuclear arsenal. But this policy of dissembling has made the two countries look hypocritical when they press Iran on its nuclear program, notes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.

Libya's 'Regime Change' Chaos
America's war hawks, including then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were thrilled by the Libyan "regime change" engineered through a U.S.- European bombing campaign in 2011. But now with Libya torn by civil war and Arab powers intervening, the "victory" has a bitter aftertaste, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar explains.
Washington's Latest War Fever
War fever is running high again in Official Washington with pols and pundits demanding that President Obama order a major military intervention in Iraq and Syria to stop the violent jihadists of ISIS, a group that got its start with the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, as ex-CIA analyst Paul Pillar recalls.
Wisdom in Obama's 'Don't Do Stupid Stuff'

Real Peace-Making Needed for Gaza

Justifying Israel's Slaughter in Gaza
Mainstream U.S. politicians and press are engaged in their usual tolerance of Israel's slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, hitting the usual talking points by condemning Hamas as "terrorist" and accepting the mass killings of civilians and children with a shrug, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar reflects.

As the Israeli killing of Palestinians spreads from Gaza to the West Bank, Prime Minister Netanyahu weighs his pursuit of military objectives against growing world outrage. But his trump card remains the fear of U.S. politicians to voice any criticism of Israel, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
Obama and Fast-Moving Global Crises
The three big international crises – Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Gaza and Iran/nuclear – mark a choice for President Obama, stick with Israel and the old alignments or shift toward more cooperation with Russia and Iran. But the pieces on this global chessboard are fast moving, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.

Lack of fresh antivenom a concern after coral snake bites Naples-area boy
NAPLES - A 6-year-old Golden Gates Estates boy bitten by a venomous coral snake lived to tell his story. But his story sheds light on a big problem for the next victim — a lack of antivenom.
There have been numerous reports that the company that bought the company that made the antivenom will stop making it.
It took 10 vials of antivenom to save the young child after being bitten by the snake. And those 10 vials wiped out half of the state's supply.

not the best deal
By BAJ
from EDMONTON
I wanted the ivory colour leather so I ordered this on sale after two size tries. I took it to the tailor to fix the awful wrinkled chest area. It cost me as much as the sale price did. I have a few of this product line and mostly am pleased. I hope he does a better job of quality control in the future. I'm recommending because of the good quality (other than washable? suede) I've received in the past.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

great for busty ladies
By Cantabile
from Montreal
I bought two of these jackets that are slightly too large for me because my size was gone. However, because I am large in the bust, the style is very flattering. There is not much out there in leather for my shape but these jackets are just the thing if you are like me. The extra room in the bust may be unflattering for some but some people appreciate it. Now that only plus sizes are left, plus sized busty ladies should rush to snap them up. No regrets.
so dissappointed
I tried again by ordering a size down. It was a better fit but was still wrinkled and not finished properly around the bust. Again it has gone back. Poorly finished. I have other Guillaume jackets - the only other issue I've had is the washable suede didn't wash at all well.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

too bad
I really wanted this jacket to work but it is puffy and wrinkled at the chest. Not finished properly right where the seams are.
By Jacqui
from Newmarket, Ontario
I ordered both the navy (not navy but an amazing rich true bright blue colour) and the ivory. Got them on the sale price and they are amazing jackets, great fit great quality. love the style and would order the red if they still had it. As always his leather and suede never disappoint
Nice Soft Leather
By G
from Ottawa area
Received this, my 1st Guillaume jacket today in amber. Beautiful colour, beautiful soft leather. Unfortunately for me, I ordered according to the size chart and it fits, but is more snug than I like a jacket. Fortunately for me there was "1" amber left in the size I think will fit so have done an exchange.I will wear this quite a bit either casual chic or casual. I had no issue with a smell to the leather, the sleeves are fine I just have to roll them to the 2nd button (which looks great). Just a bit snug around my middle. Overall I am really pleased with this jacket (especially at this discounted price!). Hopefully the next size up will fit fine. If this is Guillaume's standard of production I will be back for more.
Another home run !!!!!!
By Wendy the gemstone collector
from Ontario
I lucked out and got one of the Ivory blazers !!! Wooo hooo for me !!!!! As always amazing fit !!!!! Absolutely love the style and fit !!!! Wasn't sure about the color ....but as soon as I put it on WOW what an amazing fit !!!! I can dress it up or down and look amazing !!!!! Thank you Guillaume !!!!

Chest to big
By RITA
from RICHMOND HILL
I love Guillaume Jackets but unfortunatly this one has some extra leather just above the chest so it folds and looks unatractive. Also it had a bottom butten hanging off, no big deal but I shouldn't have to sow buttons on a "new" Jacket. It will be going back...sorry to say very disapointimg.

Amber is Perfect for Spring and Fall
By 4eversunshine
from Toronto
I am loving the 20% off sales - I ordered the Amber jacket that I have had my eye on for a while. I am absolutely in love with it and can't wait for warmer weather to wear it with my dark denim jeans and a crisp white shirt. It is a bit large in the bust area (the only reason I rated a 4 star) but for me this jacket makes me look and feel like a model! Such a classic style and the lining is so much fun to flash. I love the inner pocket to stash my phone in. A fantastic deal for a quality soft leather jacket. Let it be Spring!
Really Nice!
By victheshopper
from Sudbury, Ontario
Just received this jacket in black and am SO impressed! Lovely leather, perfect fit and overall great purchase. Now I'm debating whether or not to get a red one as well, or maybe the caramel colour!

Having breakfast can make a huge difference
Four teachers have revealed the impacts of hunger on school children who skip breakfast, sayng many go to school too hungry to learn.
One in three children in the UK go to school without breakfast every day.

Learned about St Patrick
Had lunch at Murphy's Pub.... Food and drinks both delicious... Service with a smile especially after I handed the guy his tip which I later realized was around 50%!!! It's tough working with all this different currency. Oh well. Went to the Down Cathedral where St Patrick is buried, well at least that is the story... No one is ...

... tall. There is a story that the columns are the remains of a causeway built by an Irish giant Finn MacCool, he was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner, Finn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so the giants could meet. Finn hides from Benandonner when he realises he is much bigger than him. Finn's wife Oonagh disguises Finn as a baby and tucks him in a cradle, when Benandonner see's ...
Northern Ireland!!
... we stepped off the bus....thanks God!! Then it was about an 1 1/2 hour trip back which i listened to music and crashed out!! Finally got back and had dinner at the hostel. We came back to everyone watching Lord Of The Rings. So, since no one was going out we had the brilliant idea that we should watch the 3rd movie in French.....lets just say i headed to bed before the movie was even half way. ha. It was such a great day!! Many great memories!!

... do some weeding in the lovely weather. It was incredible to have a conversation with such a friendly local!
After Glenarm we headed inland for bit in search of a national park we'd seen on a map……ended up being a park that had a car parking fee so we detoured and had a tasty lunch of bread, cheese and fruit on a grassy knoll surrounded by adorable baa-ing sheep, the ruined remains of an old stone house, and absolute Irish ...
Belfast: not born and bred...but very much in love
Belfast is a unique city with a real-life grit softened by friendly people, buzzing pubs, and great cultural attractions which are getting even more varied and abundant by the day! To say it's up in coming is an understatement as this Titanic Town is changing everyday!
I had visited a great deal of the island before setting my sights on Belfast for the first time. Within a day of visiting ...

Terry could be moving to Spain during the winter transfer window if the reports are true, after Valencia sources told Sky Sports News they had been offered the player.
FIFA agent Francois Gallardo, who says he is negotiating to help with the deal, told Radio Intereconomia: "Valencia are negotiating, and I am involved in person, with the signing in the winter transfer market.
"The offer is on his table. The player is out of contract in June and will not renew there for several reasons at Chelsea and he wants to come to Spain.
"Terry has problems. They are insulting him and he is not taking it any more. He asked to leave, not us.
"It's real. This has been going on for 15 days and two meetings have already took place. The deal is already on his table – a year and a half plus one.
"I think he will accept."

Re: arrrgh!!!!!!!!
I was cooking some food in a microwave oven I bought new slightly over four months ago. The food needed stirring and a change to lower power part way through. After the stir I programed the lower power and cook time and pressed the "Button" to start the cycle...
The whole appliance went dark. Interior light wouldn't even come on when I opened the door. Got my outlet tester out and determined the outlet was live. Noticed oven would
come on and appliance would chirp when I closed the door. Would do the same if I bumped it on the side. Unplugged for over a minute and plugged back in, with no improvement.
The one bright spot is that manufacturer isn't wanting me to ship the unit to them. Not quite as bright, the manufacturer wants a letter containing the receipt, label from the back of the appliance and photo of cut power cord to Vancouver, BC (I live in Virginia USA). Refund of purchase price (not including sales tax or international postage) might take six weeks.

attempting to insure justice between the companies and their employees. It has been a great help, but is not altogether satisfactory to the public, the employees, or the companies. If a substantial agreement can be reached among the groups interested, there should be no hesitation in enacting such agreement into law. If it is not reached, the Labor Board may very well be left for the present to protect the public welfare.
The law for consolidations is not sufficiently effective to be expeditious.

It was Ok, but I expected more from a Howard Johnson's. Maybe times have changed with the property.
Review collected in partnership with Howard Johnson
The hotel was ok. Older but generally pretty clean and beds comfy enough. Breakfast was skimpy but coffee, juice, and toast were good enough... BUT... As I tried to shower, the whole water faucet FLEW out of the wall, smacked me in the knees and shot a stream of hot water at me. Ok... Things happen. I understand that, BUT,...
My wife left her wedding ring on the nightstand. We came back to see if we could retrieve it. We saw the maid wearing my wife's wedding ring. She busily forces off her fingers and dared to ask me if my wife's ring was real. Unprofessional and low! How dare these people. Isn't there at least a lost and found...
My son and I really enjoyed our stay. While the hotel for s older, its very well maintained. The staff was fabulous and very helpful & knowledgeable of the area.
Wanted a clean cheap place to stay for a week in Vero Beach. We thought that all HOJO's were about the same. NOT!!! This place was very dirty - we could not use the toilet seat at all. Linen was threadbare and we could not get extra blankets. Staff not at all helpful. Breakfast was cereal/bagels & beverages
