LONDON, Feb 23 (Reuters) - England withstood the stiffest of examinations from a revitalised France on Saturday but, thanks to the goalkicking of Owen Farrell and a try by Manu Tuilagi, emerged 23-13 winners of their Six Nations clash at Twickenham.
For an hour France were unrecognisable from the team beaten by Italy and Wales in their opening games and scored a brilliant individual try through centre Wesley Fofana to deservedly lead 10-9 at the break.
England struggled to make any impact but the superb goalkicking of Farrell punished the dominant French for their indiscipline and Tuilagai took them clear when he scooped up a loose ball to score 15 minutes into the second half.
A rash of replacements worked in England's favour as they eventually wrestled control in the final quarter and two Toby Flood penalties sealed the win.
England, seeking their first grand slam since 2003, lead the standings with six points from three wins. Wales are second on four after beating Italy earlier on Saturday, with France in last place having lost their first three games. (Reporting by Mitch Philips; Editing by John Mehaffey)

Reduce Energy Consumption
Make your office more eco-friendly with Ricoh's proprietary technologies that lower the system's overall TEC value (kWh), reduce energy costs and contribute to a lower TCO.
- The modular power system provides power to only the part of the MFP that you are using. For example, if you are using the Scanner function, but not the Printer or Finisher options, these functions will be automatically shut off so energy is saved without any effort on your part.
- Low power consumption in sleep mode is a key feature considering 50% of all MFPs remain in sleep mode during the business day.
- Utilizing the Timer function, the MFP can be set to automatically turn ON or OFF at specified times, matching system availability to work schedule.
- The low-fusing point of the PxP-EQ Toner and Ricoh's IH roller fusing system further reduces energy consumption and enhances green-friendly operations.
Energy Star and EPEAT Performance

The change of the year is a time for reflection, self-evaluation and so on. I'm doing that this morning, too, and I want to share a few thoughts that my fellow boomers may relate to.
Those of us who grew up without computers, cell phones and Facebook, are often astounded and downright troubled by the way later generations seem to be substituting activity on Facebook for actually sharing the ups and downs of their lives face-to-face with friends and loved ones. Facebooking instead of calling, emailing or visiting the people in your life who care about you.
Here's a rant by a psychologist about how the tendency to take pictures can actually eliminate real memories. He says pictures can jog memories if we review them, but people seldom do that. He says experiments show that if people believe a computer will retain photos and information, they will simply not remember for themselves. And today, with instant digital photography in everyone's hands via their cell phones, people tend never to look back, and are therefore not creating memories.
I remember feeling distressed on my honeymoon in England - long before social media came along - when my ex- seemed to spend all his time taking pictures rather than experiencing the people and places with me.
And here's a story by a Wall Street Journal staffer that talks about how substituting Facebook activity for real interactions with the people in your life leads to exhaustion, jealousy and damaged relationships. I love when she writes how constant Facebook updating tends to make people forget a cardinal rule of relationships - "Thou shalt not bore they friends."
One boomer friend says she began visiting Facebook, against her natural inclination, simply because it had become the only way she could keep up with news of her daughter who lived far away.
Something's wrong with this picture.
Have a happy 2014 - and spend more time on the telephone and meeting face-to-face with your real-life friends.

A colostomy is a surgical procedure that is done when part of the large intestine (colon or rectum) has been removed and the remaining bowel cannot function normally. The colostomy may be temporary, until the colon or rectum heals, or it may be permanent if the entire lower colon or rectum was removed.
In colostomy surgery, the surgeon makes a cut through the skin on the person's abdomen. He or she then sews the end of the upper part of the intestine (where the stool continues to be made) to the opening in the skin. This opening is called a colostomy. The diseased part of the intestine is usually removed during the surgery. (Sometimes, it may be left in place and allowed to heal, depending on the type of disease or injury the person has.)
Stool continues to be made in the upper part of the intestine and passes out of the body through the colostomy. A disposable bag is placed on the skin over the colostomy opening to collect stool. A pouch may also be created inside the person's body, where stool collects and is then removed with a procedure like an enema.

So with GND in the center it is always connected correctly. Then if Vcc and sig are reversed this is usually ok for most devices
But this gentleman is not plugging in servos, he's plugging in vaguely specified components into vaguely specified backplanes.
unlike other pinouts, plugging in backwards does no harm
apparently they decided a 1k resistor was too much to invest in a $50 item

We drank in the city (responsibly, we promise) and found it intoxicating.Brewed with 110 of the finest ingredients, our toast to Cleveland's best raises a pint to kayaking at sunset, the purring of a Lounge Kitty, brown-bagging it at lunch, pimping your ride and much more — including 45 winners selected by our readers.
Stories by Monica Arjev, Heide Aungst, Adria Barbour, Jennifer Bowen,D.X. Ferris, Steve Gleydura, Tom Kondilas, Jacqueline Marino, Amber Matheson, Marissa Mikolak, Dave "Coondog" O'Karma, Myra Orenstein, Kim Schneider, Laura Taxel, Erick Trickey, Jim Vickers, Lori Valyko Weber and Tori Woods
Do-It-Yourself Brewery
Sure, there are plenty of places in Cleveland to go get a beer, but how many let you make your own? Strongsville's Brew Kettle has been doing it since 1995. For about $150, you can make a 12.5-gallon batch of brew, chosen from the Kettle's 70 recipes. The process takes two weeks from brewing to bottling. After brewing, you can order snacks and beer from the Kettle's menu. 8377 Pearl Road, Strongsville, (440) 239-8788, www.thebrewkettle.com
Dry Rub WingsNot feeling saucy? Flyers in Parma has a different take on chicken wings. Instead of a water- or tomato-based sauce, Flyers applies a flavorful dry rub, a mix of powdered spices, to its wings. The menu features 14 varieties, from mild to 1822 (two times 911). They're 25 cents each on Thursdays. The wings match the building's distinctive shape — from an aerial view, it's shaped like a heart, a gift to the original owner's girlfriend. 6298 Pearl Road, Parma, (440) 842-1964
Alternative Date SpotThe adrenaline pumping through your veins and the endorphins from exercise all make rock climbing much more exciting than the average date. Kendall Cliffs has more than 60 different climbing routes, making it a great place for even those who have never climbed before. Though the actual risks are slim, climbers have to trust in their partners, making it great for couples. 60 Kendall Park Road, Peninsula, (330) 655-5489, www.kendallcliffs.com
Bait ShopEvery seasoned seadog — er, lakedog — has his favorite bait shop, and he won't be sharing the information. We know that the caviar of the bait world is available at The Pine Lake Trout Club, a members-only fishing compound with ponds for bait fishing and streams for fly-fishing. The public is welcome to catch rods, nets and fashionable fishing wear at The Fly Club, where they also stock the finest munchies to whet a fish's appetite. Dry flies, nymphs, worms, eggs and streamers — trust us, they're tantalizing fare for fish. 17021 Chillicothe Road, Chagrin Falls, (440) 543-8322,www.pinelaketroutclub.com
New BarIn a town like Cleveland, the best bars take you back to another era of drinking, with just enough modernity (such as good microbrews) to keep you comfortable. So it is with the Prosperity Social Club, which opened in the former Dempsey's Oasis and hung onto the space's old-school cool much more than the average Tremont bar. Perhaps it's the rotating, glowing blue Schlitz globe by the door, or the '50s-era ad for the Zombie Club at West Third and St. Clair, or the old bill of fare on the wall (beef stew, sardines and salmon, all 15 cents). Or maybe it's the surprising mix in the crowd, where the old neighborhood residents and the new, laid-back Tremont hipsters mingle with dressed-down couples and friends in from the 'burbs. Prosperity fits a great niche in Tremont's nightlife: cool yet unpretentious. 1109 Starkweather Ave., Cleveland, (216) 937-1938
Imports From BaliIf you're looking for a shiny dress from Indonesia, Asian stonework for a rock garden, an exotically beautiful dark-wood table and chairs, dragon-decorated lamps in every color of the rainbow, inexpensive beaded rings, incense, a hammock or the biggest selection of Buddha statues in town, step across the Pacific to Bali at City Buddha. Local guy Larry Collins and his Indonesian wife, Rai, just opened a second store in Coventry to complement their 10-year-old location in Ohio City, with even more room for clothing and high-end furniture. 1863 W. 25th St., Cleveland, (216) 241-6416 and 1807 Coventry Road, Cleveland Heights, (216) 397-5862, www.citybuddha.com
Sports PromotionAlmost all of the 20,000-plus Cavaliers fans at the Feb. 21 home game donned Anderson Varejao wigs. During a timeout, the fans placed their frizzy, curly wigs atop their heads to honor the Cavs forward. The free promotional giveaway was an attempt to break the Guinness world record for "most people wearing wigs in a single venue." (The record is officially held by 6,638 Detroit Pistons fans, since the Cavaliers never submitted the record to Guinness due to the "extremely tedious" process.) To honor the "Wild Thing" and his Brazilian roots, halftime also included festivities similar to Brazil's Mardi Gras, featuring samba dancers and drummers. No word yet on whether the promotion will be repeated this season, but if it is, we want tickets. www.nba.com/cavaliers
Lounge Act
Her beehive wig makes her the tallest person in the room, and it shakes when she sings a tremolo. She dances like the Church Lady from "Saturday Night Live," but she's way hotter than that, in her little black dress, feather boa and ultraterrifying high-heel boots. As a keyboard player and a bongo and cymbal player back her up on a repertoire ranging from "The Girl From Ipanema" to ABBA's "Dancing Queen" to "Proud Mary" — the Tina Turner version, of course — she slips between the tables, flirting and vamping with the guys in the crowd, doing a Marilyn-serenading-JFK crossed with a svelte Bette Midler. She's Lounge Kitty, and she purrs, hisses and roars at the Prosperity Social Club on the second Friday of every month, the night of the Tremont Art Walk, and at other, less regular gigs around town. If you leave during her set, you'd better bid her a polite goodbye on your way past, or she'll get catty, talking about you once you're out the door. But if you stay for the inevitable climax of "I Will Survive," you'll witness the best over-the-top kitschy lounge act in town. (216) 288-6560, www.loungekitty.net
Environmental StatementYou might be blown away by the Great Lakes Science Center's 150-foot tall wind turbine. We're not exactly California, where you can see rows of these things from the highways, but the stately turbine is an eye-catching addition to our already fabulous view from the Shoreway. The wind turbine is expected to take care of 7 percent of the GLSC's electrical needs. And, with soaring gas prices, one is all you need to stimulate discussion about renewable energy sources. 601 Erieside Ave., Cleveland, (216) 694-2000, www.greatscience.com
Authentic Italian PastaLike his grandmother, who opened Carrie Cerino's Ristorante in 1962, chef and owner Dominic Cerino takes no shortcuts and uses only the finest ingredients. His version of spaghetti alla carbonara is a clean-your-plate classic, featuring house-made pasta, local farm-fresh organic eggs from free-range chickens and guanciale — like bacon, only better — that he cures using heirloom-breed Berkshire pork. An astonishing bargain at $15. 8922 Ridge Road, North Royalton, (440) 237-3434, www.carriecerinos.com
German BratsThere aren't too many butcher shops left like The Sausage Shoppe in Old Brooklyn. Meat is ground, seasoned, mixed, stuffed into natural casings and smoked right on the premises. Using the same Old World techniques his ex-boss did back in 1938, Norm Heinle, who's been in charge for the past 40 years, makes a dozen different kinds of bratwurst. Lean, juicy and delicious, they contain no fillers, nitrates or other preservatives. 4501 Memphis Ave., Cleveland, (216) 351-5213, www.sausageshoppe.com
New Blues TroubadourNow that The Black Keys are world renowned, Northern Ohio needs a new blues-rock best-kept secret, and Keys front man Dan Auerbach helped create his band's heir apparent by producing "C'mon, C'mere," the hot-and-bothered third album from Massillon's Patrick Sweany (above, at right, with his band). Highly regarded Delta revivalist Jimbo Mathus also pitched in for the disc, which is turning ears from Boston to Tennessee. Fans of classic roots rock will hear echoes of Creedence Clearwater Revival's John Fogerty in Sweany's troubled voice. And whether he's delivering a creaking tune for a slow dance or an irresistible shack shaker, when Sweany sings the blues, you'll only feel better. Catch Sweany and company at Akron's Lime Spider or Kent's Zephyr pub. www.myspace.com/patricksweany
Tropical CocktailMade with cachaa (a clear, barrel-aged, sugar-cane liquor) and fresh limes, a caipirinha is like Carnivale in glass. The potent beverage used to be mixed only in Brazil, where it is considered the national libation. But lately, the nearly unpronounceable caipirinha (it's something like "kai-pee-reen-yah," slightly slurred with a musical lilt) has become the beverage of choice for stylish sippers worldwide. Bartenders at Saravi on Shaker Square mix a tasty version for $7.25. General manager Anthony Folisy says they sell 200 to 300 a night. Saravi, 13225 Shaker Square, Cleveland, (216) 295-1200, www.sergioscleveland.com
ViewYou may not have heard of it, since it's only a year old. But an observation deck off the Overlook Trail in Summit County's Cascade Valley Metro Park offers one of Greater Cleveland's most beautiful vistas. A half-mile hike from the parking lot leads to the Oxbow Overlook Deck, a long, thin, wooden platform hanging over a breathtaking 150-foot drop. A background of dense, fluffy trees and sky wraps the Cuyahoga River off to the east. An eroded wall of layered, veiny sandstone towers to the west, home to many burrowing swallows. Below the deck flows one of the many crooks in our crooked river, a hard turn like a check mark. Rushing south, the river makes a looping bend, then a sharp move west, disappearing back into the forest of Cascade Valley, where it cuts and turns like an elusive running back before heading north to Cleveland. Thanks to the change of seasons, the view is different with every visit. Below the observation deck, Cascade Valley includes some of the best hiking and biking trails in Northeast Ohio. 354 Sackett Ave., Akron, (330) 867-5511, www.summitmetroparks.org
Vegetarian Restaurant Off the Eaten PathParma Heights is not known for its unusual dining options, but those who make it a policy not to fork up anything that ever walked, flew or swam won't find a better suburb to head for at mealtime. It's home to Udupi Cafe. The famed south Indian cuisine served here is animal-free, so everything on the multipage menu is an option. Even vegans won't go home hungry. 6339 Olde York Road, Parma Heights, (440) 743-7154
Way to Spend Your Lunch HourInstead of eating at their desks, nine-to-fivers can take in a midday musical performance at the historic Trinity Cathedral. Brown Bag Concerts start at 12:10 p.m. on Wednesdays in the fall and spring and last just 45 minutes. Eating during the show is not just allowed, it's encouraged. Bring your own PB&J or buy a box lunch for $4. The music is free. Wednesdays, Oct. 4 - Dec. 20 and March 8 - May 25, Trinity Cathedral, 2230 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, (216) 579-9745, www.mandpa.org
Product NameNecessity is a mother, and Adam Muth came up with the invention. Tired of cleaning his custom chopper with screwdrivers wrapped in rags, Muth devised a clever set of Zen-like motorcycle-maintenance tools. His Pimpstixxx are sold internationally, but some parts are made in Elyria. These little tools get into the twists and turns of any motorcycle or car to polish and clean, and are safe to use on expensive finishes. The name was developed to attract the rough-and-tumble biker crowd; the same kit is available under the name Slick Stixxx to appeal to car folks. P.O. Box 85, Avon Lake, 1-866-221-8661, www.pimpstixxx.com
FansHot potato! These guys might be the two most in-demand fries around. The sports fan-club duo Charlie's Fryes don french fry container costumes to show support for Cleveland Browns quarterback Charlie Frye. Whether tailgating at the Muny Lot before every game (as early as 5:30 a.m.) or cheering in the Dawg Pound at home games (section 122, row A, seats 5 and 6 — just in case you couldn't see them jumping around with their signs), the Frye Guys bleed orange and brown. Mike Randall and his cousin, Dan Randall, sport Dawg Pound tattoos, have murals of Browns Stadium painted on their walls and named rooms in their homes the Frye Room. www.charliesfryes.com
TeahouseNear Case Western Reserve University's campus in Little Italy is a one-of-a-kind destination for those who appreciate the benefits of a steaming cup of Darjeeling or a mellowing mug of chamomile. Algebra Tea House boasts a wide selection of blends and world flavors, plus an atmosphere that's an antidote to the cookie-cutter corporate cool we've come to associate with cafe culture. The furnishings are a mix of the creative, the handmade and the well used. Work by local artists adorns the walls, and people are more likely to actually be talking to each other or playing board games than working on laptops. Also on the menu are unique coffee drinks — think latte with honey and rosewater — shakes and Middle Eastern-inspired eats. 2136 Murray Hill Road, Cleveland, (216) 421-9007
Sipping BeverageIt became the "soft" drink of choice in Taiwan in the '80s. But who could have predicted that bubble tea, an Asian smoothie with "seeds" made of tapioca, would become all the rage in this country? The nonalcoholic, noncarbonated beverage is distinguished by a liberal infusion of chewy, gelatinous tapioca pearls that sippers suck up through extra-wide straws. Weird at first slurp, yet quickly addictive, bubble tea has been steadily gaining fans here as it migrates from the West Coast to the heartland. Served hot or cold, in flavors from lychee and passion fruit to avocado or taro. Koko Bakery, 3710 Payne Ave., Cleveland, (216) 881-7600; Mint Cafe, 1791 Coventry Road, Cleveland Heights, (216) 320-9915; Earth Garden, 5158 Wilson Mills Road, Richmond Heights, (440) 684-1888
Place to Pimp Your RideIt's not where you might expect, tucked away in an industrial complex near a riding stable. But when you scope the collection of Escalades, Range Rovers and Audis, their custom paint twinkling in the sun, you know you've found it. They don't advertise, but word of mouth has made Jim Shields and his Esoteric Sound and Performance the go-to garage for any Cleveland Brown who wants to ride in style. Dennis Northcutt (below right), Andra Davis (left), Terrelle Smith, Kellen Winslow, Alvin McKinley and NFL'ers from around the league trust their rides to Shields. Bumper to bumper, he does it all: custom leather and suede interiors, plasma screens, bumping stereo components, audiovisual equipment, super-charged engines, Batman-style doors. If you can dream it, Shields can do it. Consider the newest rims and grills from Strut, the "it" car jewelry. These days, no self-respecting Bentley goes without them. 300 Karl St., Berea, (440) 891-4111, www.esotericsoundandperformance.com
Public SpaceNeed a Zen moment in your day? The Cleveland Public Library's Eastman Reading Garden is a refuge from the city's more concrete sections. Ohio native Maya Lin, designer of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., designed the garden with her brother, Tan Lin. The bronze fencing, designed by Tom Otterness of New York City, looks like a checkerboard with letters that form words if viewers look closely. The garden includes trees and a fountain, and it's dotted with little bronze statues reading books and snatching letters from the wall. 325 Superior Ave., Cleveland, (216) 623-2800, www.cpl.org
Ice Cream for a CauseWe never knew a guilty pleasure could be so rewarding. But with Mitchell's Homemade Ice Cream's Pink Ribbon Peppermint Chip, we're happy to indulge. That's because the local scoop joint donates 50 cents from each $3.95 pint it sells to The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Northeast Ohio Race for the Cure. Even better, this is dessert with sass. The cool peppermint base is rich with ample chunks of tantalizing chocolate. Various locations, www.mitchellshomemade.com
Record StoreLocated fewer than 100 paces from the Beachland Ballroom's front door, Music Saves is a beacon for indie-rock fans who like to buy music the old-fashioned, predownload way: as an object wrapped in cellophane. A cozy space packed with CDs (and some vinyl), the store trades big inventory for a precise catalog of college radio titles. Our test — locating the 2006 debut from Jose Gonzalez and the final release from the now-defunct Seattle band Carissa's Wierd — met with success on both counts. 15801 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, (216) 481-1875, www.musicsaves.com
Celebrity Candy BarHe definitely hit a grand slam with this one. The Pronk Bar from Malley's combines velvety smooth milk chocolate and ample rice crisps in honor of Indians powerhouse Travis Hafner. "I'm being dead serious: Of all the candy bars I've ever had, this is probably the best one," Pronk himself has declared. We agree (though Harry London's Chief Wahoo bar is at least a stand-up double off Jacobs Field's 19-foot wall and it helps benefit Cleveland Indians Charities). Sure, we're attracted to Hafner's batting stance and autograph on the wrapper, but we love the way the premium chocolate melts within seconds of touching your tongue. www.malleys.com
Place to Sin and AtoneA bartender's job includes listening to customers' tales of woe and transgression. At The Town Fryer, owner Susie Porter keeps a portable antique confessional booth on hand for these occasions. Whenever someone has a need to share, Porter's happy to step inside and lend an ear. "Nobody really bares their soul," she admits, "and I think half of what they say is made up. Usually the stories are funny, or about something bad they did when they were kids. People reveal a lot more unintentionally after a few too many beers." As a voluntary act of contrition, customers can put money in the donation box. Or they can just follow Porter's admonition to drink no more (at least for the rest of night). Of course, she hopes you'll order some of her fried chicken instead. 3859 Superior Ave., Cleveland, (216) 426-9235, www.thetownfryer.com
Momentary Celebrity
This spring, Lakewood resident Judson Laipply danced his way across tens of millions of computer screens with his one-man act "The Evolution of Dance." The six-minute interpretive dance, which has Laipply dancing along to a soundtrack of song snippets from the Twist to the Macarena, was the finale to his motivational-speaking routine (yes, that's his day job). One day, someone uploaded footage of Laipply, performing in an Orange Crush T-shirt, to YouTube (www.youtube.com), and a star was born — at least, until someone uploaded a clip of what happens when Mentos are added to a bottle of Diet Coke. www.evolutionofdance.com
Doughnut Comeback
Add Becker's Donuts and Bakery's crullers to the list of things that never change. Using recipes passed down from his German-Hungarian relatives, Tom Becker whips up the same light, egg-based batter that his father made in the same Lorain Avenue storefront shop from 1957 to 1988. The shiny retro decor, with two small tables for eat-in customers, evokes that era, as do the family photos of men in white standing over mixing bowls. Since Becker reopened the shop in January of this year, he's enjoyed watching how his doughnuts bridge the generation gap. "We have people who come in here with the grandparents who brought them," he says. "Or they bring their kids because they came here as kids." Get to the shop early — it opens at 5:30 a.m. — if you want to get a chocolate-sprinkle cake doughnut. Other favorites include bear claws, cinnamon rolls and snuggles (a nut twist with cinnamon and glaze on the top). At $5.99, a dozen doughnuts is more expensive these days, but you still get the "baker's" variety, 13 instead of 12. 22088 Lorain Road, Fairview Park, (440) 734-9856
WaterfallWho needs Niagara? Northeast Ohio has Brandywine Falls, located in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Take the short trek from the parking lot into the woods to view the autumn colors. Brandywine Creek cascades 60 feet over layers of yellow-brown Berea sandstone and red Bedford shale, formed between 300 million and 400 million years ago. Follow the boardwalk down to view interesting rock layers, or travel up the path and you'll reach a point where you're literally on top of the falls looking down. Brandywine and Stanford roads, Sagamore Hills (take Route 8 to Twinsburg Road, head west, turn right on Brandywine Road), (216) 524-1497, www.nps.gov/cuva
Girls' Night OutSure, it's fun to leave the guys behind and go play with your gal pals. But imagine how great it would be to do that and return home with a week's worth of homemade, ready-to-heat meals? If that seems too good to be true, you haven't heard about Simply Done Dinners. Michele Gaw, formerly executive chef at the Watermark Restaurant, and her staff do all the planning, prepping and cleanup. Just show up at her professional kitchens in Parma, North Olmsted, Medina or Twinsburg. Various locations, (216) 901-0215, www.simplydonedinners.com
Bar DecorationHigh above the beer-drinking, sports-watching groups of guys at Gillespie's Map Room hangs a real plane. Two months after Gillespie's 2005 opening, a friend of the bar's owner flew the Smith Mini red and white aircraft from Kansas to Burke Lakefront before it was delivered by truck to the Warehouse District watering hole, where it was installed as the ultimate conversation piece. 1281 W. Ninth St., Cleveland, (216) 621-7747
Scenic CourthouseGetting summoned to court in Geauga County might not be so bad — if you're a Western Reserve history buff. Built in 1869, the Geauga County Courthouse on Chardon Square is on the National Register of Historic Places. Its original second-floor courtroom is still in use, presided over by Judge Forrest Burt. "It's one of the most, if not the most, important buildings in Geauga," says county archivist Bari Oyler Stith. "Its architecture and styling make people stop and appreciate it." Prominent Cleveland architect Joseph Ireland designed the building in High Victorian Italianate style, with red brick, elegant stonework, high window arches, cluster trefoils and a landmark clock tower with its original bell still in place. 100 Short Court St., Chardon, (440) 285-2222, http://co.geauga.oh.us
iPod CaseLeBron James not only rocks the court with his hoops skills, but he can also guard your iPod. The LeBron James iPod Nano case, manufactured by Florida-based Xtreme Mac, is the coolest Cleveland-themed iPod protection around. The semihard rubber case covers an iPod Nano while allowing use of the click wheel. With a picture of the Cavaliers star on front, it is clear on back to show off any name engravings, and leaves open the hold switch and all connection ports on the bottom. But hustle if you want the limited-edition case, which was created during the playoffs. $24.95, 1-866-392-9800, www.xtrememac.com
Arcade Game
Pac-Man simplicity just doesn't cut it anymore. So we swept through Dave & Buster's in Westlake in search of the ultimate, cutting-edge arcade game. Wielding a plastic machine gun as you sweep a terrorist hideout ("Ghost Squad") is fun, but it's not suited for the little ones. Likewise, sitting behind the trash-can-lid-sized wheel of a virtual rig ("Eighteen Wheeler: American Pro Trucker") is fun, but it wears thin fast. MOCAP Boxing, though, splits the difference between ultraviolent and ultraboring. Players don "boxing gloves" and launch punches at their onscreen opponent, while bobbing and weaving to avoid getting hit (cameras determine whether you've moved far and fast enough). The game keeps a cumulative total of how many calories you've burned while floating like a butterfly. Dave & Buster's, 25735 First St., Westlake, (440) 892-1415, www.daveandbusters.com
Underrated NeighborhoodGreat food, great art: Cleveland's Chinatown neighborhood, just east of downtown, is waking up like Tremont and Ohio City did a decade or two ago. Maybe the turning point came when artists took over the old warehouses and the city welcomed them by making their live-work spaces legal. Now, art-hops include open houses out east at spots such as Convivium 33 on East 33rd Street, a deconsecrated church turned gallery. Meanwhile, Superior Avenue at East 31st Street has become a Little Saigon, with the trendy restaurant #1 Pho facing off against Superior Pho (formerly Pho Hoa), its friendly competition in the Golden Plaza next door. Older favorites such as the huge, open-late Chinese restaurant Li Wah at East 30th and Payne and Siam Cafe at East 45th and St. Clair still offer some of Greater Cleveland's best, most adventurous Asian food. Korea is represented too, by the out-of-the-way Seoul Hot Pot on Payne and Korea House on Superior. The neighborhood's art project this summer — cleverly painted ceramic dogs standing near landmark businesses, celebrating China's Year of the Dog — is only the latest sign that creativity is remaking Chinatown. St. Clair, Superior and Payne avenues between E. 30th and E. 45th streets
Children's TheaterFor more than 50 years, children ages 5 to 18 have performed in the Heights Youth Theatre, which some believe is the oldest theater company in the United States that puts on productions performed exclusively by children. More than 200 kids participate each year — and successful alums include Michelle Federer of Shaker Heights, who originated the role of Nessarose in "Wicked" on Broadway. This season, after the retirement of Laura Gee, the theater's director of 20 years, HYT is staging its three productions with three different directors, two of them HYT alums. The first, "Annie," directed by Kris Comer, runs Nov. 3 through 19. www.heightsyouththeatre.com
Comic Book StorePrepare to be overwhelmed, superfan. Whether you like big-name books or small-press titles, you'll find a lot of both at Carol and John's Comic Shop. Thumb through the deep stock of past issues to fill holes in your collection. Or, if like us, you've been living outside the comic universe for a while, ask for recommendations. We were pointed to Marvel Comics' engaging "Civil War" series, which splits your favorite superheroes into two opposing forces, and the first installment of Image Comics' zombie-rific "The Walking Dead." 3742 Rocky River Drive, Cleveland, (216) 252-0606
Source for Local BooksThe warm lighting and the lustrous dark wood make stepping into the Crooked River Reading Club like stepping into the bookstores of yesteryear. This independent bookstore in the Galleria, a year old, has already been well received by locals and tourists alike. The kind folks at Crooked River love chatting with customers, making recommendations and tracking down hard-to-find tomes. They have a remarkable inventory of Cleveland writers, from self-published poets to Ohio historians with multibook deals. The Galleria at Erieview, 1301 E. Ninth St., Cleveland, (216) 830-2665, www.crookedriverbookstore.com
Comedy Group
Groups of guys always think they're funny. Go to the bar. Go to a frat party. Turn on MTV. From Panini's to Peabody's — and all the tailgating parties in between — Cleveland is ripe with young dudes who think they've got comedy by the crotch. It's refreshing, then, to witness Last Call Cleveland in the flesh. These guys are bust-a-gut. The all-male comedy troupe straddles the fine line between funny and crass. If we went into too much detail about their last skit, we'd need to hire more interns to handle all the letters. Suffice it to say there are father-and-son duets, men in painfully awkward situations and pure genius footage from a day spent with Mark Norton of Norton Furniture. We just wish their moms weren't in the audience. It's weird. www.lastcallcleveland.com
History LessonThe History of Contraception Exhibit — reportedly the largest in the world — offers a peek into the medicine cabinets of history. Located at Case Western Reserve University's Dittrick Medical History Center, the exhibit features more than 650 artifacts from all over the globe. One visit and you'll be filled with fascinating cocktail-party fodder (provided it's that kind of cocktail party). Did you know there's a reference to the withdrawal method in the Book of Genesis? Or that European women in the Middle Ages thought wearing amulets containing ear wax from mules would keep them from conceiving? There's even a display of contraceptive devices of the future, including an ear ovulation sensor and a contraceptive nasal spray. Third Floor, Allen Memorial Medical Library, Case Western Reserve University, 11000 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, (216) 368-6391, www.case.edu
Obscure High School SportThose who thought dueling met its demise along with chivalry, aristocrats and floppy hats haven't visited Shaker Heights High School lately. Its fencing club, in existence for 15 years, teaches 25 students the development of spirit, mind and body, says fencing instructor William Reith. The boys' and girls' teams both won the state championships held in Columbus this March. En garde!
Kayak Tour
Sit frog-legged in your sea kayak just off the shores of Whiskey Island, and you feel small but powerful. So little separates you from our Great Lake that you could be part of it. And with a little guidance from Mark Pecot and Jason Bristol of 41 Degrees North Coastal Kayak Adventures, you'll experience Lake Erie and the city like never before. Perfect for first-timers and more experienced paddlers alike, the Cleveland Rocks! Sunset Tour departs from the green, open space of Whiskey Island's Wendy Park. Push off into calm waters inside the breakwall and, with easy strokes and a relaxed grip on the paddle, head toward the abandoned Coast Guard station. By the time you reach the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, even beginners get over their initial instability and can appreciate the peaceful serenity of the natural surroundings — and some unexpected close-ups with blue herons, cormorants and ducks. The waves pick up as you pass Cleveland Browns Stadium and the port docks into the glass-perfect waters of North Coast Harbor. The hulking steamship William G. Mather towers above you on the right, while the Rock Hall's cool geometry calls like a siren's song before you. Listen and you'll be rewarded with a trip under the Rock Hall via a small waterway that runs behind the 162-foot main tower. Still, the best is yet to come as you head to the breakwall and lighthouses. As we paddled out, a monstrous ore boat worked into the river and the sky melted from deep blue to a sherbet of reds, purples and oranges. Pack your camera — in a plastic Ziploc baggie (which kept ours dry even after we capsized) — for some incredible pictures and reminders that you'll want to do this again. 1500 Scenic Park Drive, Lakewood, 1-866-KAYAK-41, www.kayak41north.com
Belgian ImportIf you think a good beer deserves the same dissection as a good wine — "yeasty, fruity, hints of citrus and caramel with a smooth balance" — Ohio City has the bar for you. McNulty's Bier Markt has more than 20 beers on its specially imported draught system, most in the Belgian style, as well as 80 bottled brews. From the powerful Delirium Tremens to a Lindemann's Framboise, the Zen-gothic atmosphere of the bar makes everything taste that much better. 1948 W. 25th St., Cleveland, (216) 344-9944, www.bier-markt.com
Post OfficeWould you believe there's a post office that stays open until midnight, even on weekends? It's the airport post office, hidden on the grounds of Hopkins Airport. It's so little known, the lines aren't even very long. Last time we mailed stuff there, we babbled to the postal worker about its convenience, excited to find it. "Now you have to forget all about it," she said mysteriously. 5801 Postal Road, Cleveland (take state Route 237 south past the airport exit to the Eastland Road exit, turn right, then make a quick left and go around the curve), (216) 433-4039
Small TheaterIt looks like an abandoned building on a less-traveled Tremont street. "Liminis," the fade says cryptically. Inside, a few dozen chairs face a stage, so close you feel a part of the play. Here, convergence-continuum puts on consistently strong independent theater: adventurous, mischievous, yet accessible. The company definitely puts on theater for adults; some of its productions have been cheerfully bawdy, but others, such as this summer's "Icarus," have been poignant and sublime. 2438 Scranton Road, Cleveland, (216) 687-0074, www.convergence-continuum.org
Kids' BikesChuck Fridrich doesn't sell toys at Fridrich Bicycles. He sells machines. Classic red tricycles. Radio Flyer roadsters. Shiny pedal cars that look like police cruisers from the '50s. The folks at Fridrich know good kids' bikes because they've been selling them for so long — and they used to make them. "Fridrich's Cadillac," a two-wheeler from the 1950s, still hangs from the ceiling. Chuck Fridrich's family, which has been selling bicycles since 1883, oversaw its design and welding and had it dipped in snazzy blue paint right there in Ohio City. Many of the other kids' bikes look old-timey, but they're brand new, ranging in price from $29 to $89. All are good for a ride down memory lane. 3800 Lorain Ave., (216) 651-3800
CurlingWhen the weather becomes too brisk for golf, Mayfield Country Club members pack up their clubs and break out their curling brooms and stones. The Mayfield Curling Club features a separate clubhouse with three 60-foot-by-160-foot ice areas and space for post-game socializing. Enroll in a six-week training session in late October, and you're ready to take to the ice by December. And the competition is pretty slick. In 2004, two of the Mayfield Curling Club's women's teams placed first and second in the US. Women's Curling Association national event. 1545 Sheridan Road, Cleveland, www.mayfieldcurling.com
Lazy Bird Watching
Forget the bug spray and binoculars. At the Rocky River Nature Center, you don't even have to go outside to see goldfinches, nuthatches, chickadees, hummingbirds, grackles and Ohio woodpeckers. Drawn to the suet feeders, the downy and the red-headed are just two woodpecker varieties you're likely to spot from the rocking chairs facing the windows. More unusual visitors include rose-breasted grosbeaks, orioles and red-tailed hawks, which come for the critters that scamper across the ground, not what's in the feeders. If the place seems deserted, there's a good chance a hawk is nearby. For bird-watching programs at the nature center, visit the Web site of the Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society, www.wcasohio.org. Cleveland Metroparks Rocky River Reservation, 24000 Valley Parkway, North Olmsted, (440) 734-6660, www.clemetparks.com
Scooter Shop
The walls of Pride of Cleveland Scooters are lined with tires, an oversize Pride of Cleveland beer bottle and T-shirts and sweatshirts declaring, "It's not a damn moped." Pride of Cleveland's inventory — usually about 65 bikes — is a fleet of jaunty scooters, ranging from dainty, Audrey Hepburn-worthy pink rides to sleek, tricked-out motor scooters that go as fast as motorcycles. Shop owner Phil Waters radiates infectious enthusiasm about scooters and there are no hard sells here. Waters and his staff know you'll be sold as soon as you take that first test drive anyway. Just don't call it a moped. 2078 W. 25th St., Cleveland, 44113, (216) 737-0700, www.clevelandscooters.com
Tiffany GlassFamous for his gorgeously iridescent and innovative stained-glass creations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Louis Comfort Tiffany was commissioned to design the Art Nouveau-style interior of the Lake View Cemetery's Wade Chapel. The centerpiece is a large and luminous circular window that seems to glow from within. The furnishings and ornamentation represent one of the finest examples of the work of the Tiffany Studios on public view anywhere in the country. Few people know more about the subject than Bob DeVille, a Lakeview docent for 15 years, who is "in residence" at Wade Chapel Mondays through Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wade Chapel, Lake View Cemetery, 12316 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, (216) 421-2665, www.lakeviewcemetery.com
BlueberriesJuly might seem far away. But for anyone who has experienced the taste of a sweet, plump blueberry picked fresh from Ford's Rock Bottom Farms in Middlefield, it's well worth the wait. Each July, it opens its 13 acres of blueberry bushes to the public for picking and stays open until early- to mid-August, depending upon the crop. The bountiful blueberry bushes make it easy picking, even for kids. You'll get an added feast for the eyes if you pick in mid-July when the farm's 900 varieties of day lilies are in bloom. Call before you go to make sure the berries are ripe and ready. 7767 Parkman-Mesopotamia Road (off state Route 87, between state Route 528 and state Route 534), Middlefield, (440) 693-4126
Women's Sports ClubThe wind whips through the sails. The waves splash against the hull. The captain leads a crew of all women as they glide through the water on a voyage organized by the North Coast Women's Sailing Association. Starting each June, this band of adventure seekers gathers at Edgewater Yacht Club and ventures onto the high seas of Lake Erie, where they learn to operate and race sailboats. They gather dockside after each outing to toast their success and mingle with friends. Meetings at Edgewater Yacht Club, 6700 Memorial Shoreway NW, Cleveland, (216) 281-6470, www.ncwsa.net
BrunchA Southern-style buffet served with a side of Gospel music makes House of Blues' Sunday Gospel Brunch a Sunday go-to-eatin' experience like no other. The spread alone is worth the trip — a carving station, made-to-order omelets and a buffet groaning under the weight of hearty vittles such as crawfish cheesecake, fried chicken and cheddar-cheese grits … y'all hungry yet? Then, Ms. Tina Farmer, the weekly singer and MC, ascends the stage, effortlessly invoking Billie Holiday and belting out sweetly crooned gospel standards. (Tickets required) 308 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, (216) 523-BLUE, www.hob.com/cleveland
Pumpkin PatchFor the perfect jack-o'-lantern, you need a large, sturdy pumpkin ripe for carving. That's where Fitch's Farm Market comes in. Each Saturday and Sunday in October, guests can hop aboard for a hayride out to the acre of pumpkins waiting in a row and search until they find the right one. Aside from picking your own pumpkin, you can also pick your own peas, strawberries, beans, tomatoes and peppers when they're in season. 4413 Center Road, Avon, (440) 934-6125
Secret BarWhen FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt, aka Deep Throat, needed to leak a Watergate tip to Bob Woodward right away, he told Woodward to meet him at an obscure bar where no one they knew would ever turn up. If you've got a tip for us, we know a bar like that: Lou's Tavern in Little Italy. It's on a one-way residential street; you have to go up East 120th Street, then back down Coltman Road — or walk over from Mayfield Road — to find it. It's a neighborhood bar, little changed in at least 70 years, with a few regulars (mostly wait staff from Mayfield's restaurants) and a friendly (but not nosy) bartender. Just the place to whisper secrets. Then again, we're letting the cat out of the bag. 1931 Coltman Road, Cleveland
Fund-raiserBake sales and walk-a-thons sound so blase compared to skydiving. So on Oct. 21, 21 members of the Maple Heights community, including the mayor, the school board president and several firemen, City Hall workers and teachers, will jump out of a plane and fall 11,000 feet for Operation Mapleleap. Mapleleap raises money for a scholarship for the Maple Heights high schooler who made the biggest leap in grade-point average between his freshman and senior years. Each jumper is asked to raise at least $250; some have raised $650 or more. "Everybody's behind us 100 percent," says Tom Griffin, a Maple Heights teacher and the program's co-founder. "It's building a sense of community." Maple Heights High School, 5500 Clement Drive, Maple Heights, (216) 587-3200, www.mapleschools.com
RTA StopIf your travels take you through RTA's W. 65th/Lorain/EcoVillage rail stop, we're sure you'll enjoy the $4 million environmentally friendly station and its 1,200-square-foot climate-controlled passenger waiting area. Last March, nonprofit organization Good Jobs Today named the station one of the nation's 25 top transit-oriented development projects benefitting working families. West 65th Street and Lorain Avenue, Cleveland, www.gcrta.org
Vinyl RefugeIf CDs are becoming an endangered species, where does that leave venerable vinyl? Don't worry. My Mind's Eye Records is helping to hold off the format's extinction. We pulled a $3 copy of U2's "The Unforgettable Fire" from the store's used rack. The small shop also has an impressive selection of new vinyl from the likes of Radiohead, Beck, The Flaming Lips and other modern rock acts who understand you and your turntable aren't yet ready to part ways. 13727 Madison Ave., Lakewood, (216) 521-0660, www.mymindseyerecords.com
Cigar ShopFrom the posh leather couches to the sweet cigar aroma to employees who wait on you with a stogie hanging out of their mouth, Greater Cleveland's Cousin's Cigars chain keeps Clevelanders puffing away with up to 265 brands of cigars, including Arturo Fuente (their most popular) and Gray Cliffe (their most expensive at $459 a box). 1828 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, (216) 781-9390; 28400 Chagrin Blvd., Woodmere, (216) 464-9396; 36050 Detroit Road, Avon, (440) 934-9909; 17112 Lorain Ave., Cleveland, (216) 671-3663; 7850 Mentor Ave., Great Lakes Mall, Mentor, (440) 946-9700.
MuseumNobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wisel visited the The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in Beachwood last spring and called it one of best museums in the world focusing on Jewish culture. This month, the Maltz Museum celebrates its first anniversary and provides visitors a last chance to check out the extraordinary visiting exhibit The Cradle of Christianity: Treasures from the Holy Land, which runs through Oct. 22. 2929 Richmond Road, Beachwood, (216) 593-0575, www.maltzjewishmuseum.org
New BandThe Morning After is more like a raucous night before. Clad in a dark blazer, front man Ryan Rini belts out aggressive lyrics like a swing singer who's tossed back one too many shaken martinis. Hulking lead guitarist Justin Smith plays buzz-saw blues guitar at rock 'n' roll speed, making music you must dance to. You can hear three of their most powerful pop songs on their MySpace site or catch them at Lakewood's Phantasy and Symposium night clubs — but bring protective eyewear, because Smith makes sparks fly. www.myspace.com/themorningafter21
Celebrity Martini
You know you've hit Cleveland's big time when you can sip a libation named just for you at The Ritz-Carlton's The Lobby Lounge. Everyone else can brush elbows with fame by ordering a drink from the Martini Hall of Fame ($8-$19). Most popular of the 23 flavors are the Terrytini, a Skyy vodka and Apple Pucker mix named for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Terry Stewart, and the Richardtini, a vanilla vodka, espresso and Godiva blend for Kaleidoscope Magazine president Richard Johnson. 1515 W. Third St., Cleveland, (216) 623-1300, www.ritzcarlton.com/hotels/cleveland
Work EnvironmentWhy take the stairs from the second to the first floor when you could take a grown-up-size twisty red slide or quicker silver-bullet slide? You can at Hyland Software, the Westlake firm that has made a stern commitment to serious fun and convenience for its more than 400 employees. It's all about work-life balance at Hyland, says Sarah Coakley, the company's minister of culture. Her job description (and title) is indicative of Hyland's corporate philosophy: Keep employees happy. During the weekly companywide meeting, the "player of the week" spins a wheel to win gift certificates and cash prizes. Hyland also offers on-site quality dining, free coffee and soda, a Montessori-based child-enrichment center, a hair salon, masseuse, dry-cleaning pickup and drop-off and car detailing and maintenance. Did we mention the free professional sports tickets? 28500 Clemens Road, Westlake 44145, (440) 788-5000, www.onbase.com
Move aside, measly french fry, and hunker down, home fries, because there's a better potato in town: the jojo. Clevelanders seem to be less aware of the jojo phenomenon than their neighbors in Akron. As the mile-marker numbers decrease on I-77, these gigantic batter-fried wedges become a big deal in every pizza stand, corner deli and convenience store. Yet the ultimate jojo is in our own back yard, at Great Lakes Brewing Co. While other jojos are too limp, too small or just not breaded enough, at GLBC you get a crunchy, double-deep-fried, flour-battered coating hiding a puffy featherbed of potato inside. Order the grilled flat iron steak and they'll come as a side — they don't show up anywhere else on the menu. But insiders know you can order them alone, six for $3. 2516 Market Ave., Cleveland, (216) 771-4404, www.greatlakesbrewing.com

Adler Carris' parents thought he would be in constant pain for the rest of his life, but a weekend at a hospital in Chicago changed everything for him.
Despite being in constant pain for the past several months, 4-year-old Adler Carris never forgets to tell his mommy that he loves her.
"He calls me a princess. He's a bright light wherever we go," his mom, Elizabeth Carris, said in a phone interview. "He's so loving and caring."
Adler suffers from a condition called hydrocephalus, a condition where there is too much liquid in the brain, and he has a tumor in his spinal column just below the neck. He's been in constant pain since September and it's gotten worse.
"Like" the Facebook page.
"He has sharp, shooting pains in his buttocks," Carris said. "When he's in extreme pain, he cannot sit down."
Despite the pain, Adler (also called "Adler Bear") remains really positive. He knows what's going on with him, and Carris says that sometimes he gets frustrated with his pain. But mostly, he's a happy kid who loves superheroes and comic books. He just wants to feel better.
Feeling better has been a long time coming for Adler. In February, he was diagnosed with a condition called arachnoditis. The rare disease is normally found in adults, and finding a doctor who would help manage his pain was difficult.
Carris called hospitals across the country as his pain got worse. Her husband, Aaron, used all of his paid time off from his job at the Elkhart Street Department, and she began working less and less at her job at Tiedemann Wines to take Adler to doctors and emergency rooms.
That diagnosis made her feel "completely and utterly helpless most of the time," Carris said.
After Adler began experiencing severe headaches to the point that he was fainting, Dr. Hseih at Granger Family Medicine told the family that he needed to get to a children's hospital.
The Carrises sought answers at Lurie Children's Hospital in downtown Chicago. They took Adler to the ER at Lurie on Friday, May 16, and he was admitted by the evening.
Hours later, doctors said that he didn't have arachnoditis. Instead, he was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and they found the tumor in his spinal cord. Adler underwent surgery on Saturday to place a permanent shunt in his brain that drains the liquid into his abdomen.
"It was shocking at first," Carris said. "We almost fought them on it. But they were right."
The correct diagnosis and the surgery changed everything for her son. Adler was able to walk on his own without any dizziness Monday, May 19, for the first time in more than three weeks. His headaches are completely gone, and he's no longer relying on morphine to manage his pain, she said.
"It's shocking," she said Wednesday. "The fact that he's gone almost 12 hours between doses of Motrin, that hasn't happened in eight months."
Adler will be able to attend school, rather than being homeschooled. He'll have to avoid contact sports, but he'll likely be able to live a normal life.
The medical journey isn't over quite yet. Adler may be released from the hospital soon, but he'll return to have the tumor removed.
He also has a team of endocrinologists on his case to help him safely get off the steroids he's been on since he was misdiagnosed in February, which Carris says should get rid of the pudginess in his face and belly. That will take up to a year.
And while his pain in his buttocks has improved, it hasn't gone away. They're still looking for a cause, but Carris feels positive.
"We're thrilled. To see the improvements that we've seen in him is amazing," she said. "It's a miracle. I think we've all kind of felt that."

- " I went to their website, which portrayed a party atmosphere; when I got their (on a weekend), it was very quiet. "
- 27 Feb 2016 Anonymous US Virgin Islands
- " The checkout process sucked. Early checkouts before 8AM (staff reach by 7:45 AM), need to do so either the previous night, or fill a form in the morning and drop it along with key in a box. Now, there were 2 problems: a) There was no form available near the drop box. b) The main gate stays locked until the staff arrives and our rental car was parked in the parking lot with no other means of getting it out unless the staff arrive. Hassle free checkout is a basic expectation that was not met. "
- 21 Feb 2016 Anonymous India
- " My flight was delayed by 2 hours, and I was only able to make it ~12:30am, instead of 11pm to the hostel. When I arrived, I got no answer from the reception or from calling. A courtesy call to check whether I'd be making the check-in time would have been better. I ended up staying at Hostel Cat. "

- 17 Oct 2015 Cinthia Mexico
- " I didn't end up staying there because AFTER I reserved my spot, I called to let them know I'd be coming in late (like 1 am) which is what it said to do on the website. However, nothing on the website tells you there's a $15 fee for coming in past midnight, which is kind of ridiculous for a Vegas hostel. "
- 15 Oct 2015 Anonymous USA
- " My only issue with security was that there were 5 beds in the room and 4 lockers. "
- 03 Oct 2015 Jonathan USA
- " We stayed 6 nights there and I really liked it. Room were big compare other hostels we were, also we had our own bathroom. Evyrything was clean and tidy. There is private parking lot which is locked during the night so it was really usefull for us. It was quite far to the center of the Strip, but bus stop is very close the hostel and buses go very often so it wasn't big deal. "
- 01 Sep 2015 Katerina Czech Republic
- " I had an awesome stay at this hostel. The place is near Fremont and also really close to shops and the bus station. The staff was really nice with the exception of a blonde girl who was constantly bitching about everything. She is not there anymore so it is all good :D The breakfast was also good and facilities were clean. All around a great option in Vegas. "

Labor Day weekend is coming up. For many Americans, that means an extra day off, backyard and beach barbecues, visiting friends and family, and the unofficial end of the summer season. Unfortunately, it also means a sharp increase in drunk-driving-related fatalities. Starting August 15 and continuing through September 1, local police, sheriff and the CHP will be aggressively targeting drunk and drugged drivers as part of a nationwide effort to end impaired driving and save lives. The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign will pair increased public awareness with high-visibility enforcement, resulting in fewer drunk drivers on San Luis Obispo County roads.
The Avoid the 14 DUI Task Force will be aggressively looking for impaired drivers throughout the region with plans in place for 1 DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint, a Multi-Agency Strike Team, 8 local roving DUI Saturation Patrols, a DUI Warrant/Probation Sweep and a DUI Court Sting targeting suspended drivers who were ordered by the judge not to drive. "We want to remind everyone that getting behind the wheel impaired is a terrible idea. Unfortunately, not only does drinking impair your ability to operate a vehicle safely, it also inhibits your judgment and good sense about whether you can, or should drive. If you have any doubt about your sobriety, do not get behind the wheel.
If you do choose to drive impaired, our mission it to find and arrest you. No warnings. No excuses," said Steve Gesell, San Luis Obispo Chief of Police. In 2012, there were 10,322 people killed in drunk-driving crashes in the United States. Over Labor Day weekend that year, 147 lost their lives to a drunk driver, more than a third (38 percent) of all traffic fatalities that weekend. Out of all the crash fatalities that weekend, one in four were attributed to drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .15 percent or higher – almost twice the legal limit in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Every 51 minutes, someone is killed in a drunk-driving crash. Over the Labor Day weekend, those fatalities increase to one every 34 minutes. Nighttime is especially dangerous; almost half (46 percent) of the fatalities in nighttime crashes over the Labor Day weekend involved a driver with a BAC of .08 or higher, compared to 25 percent in daytime fatal crashes.

All the best to you as you return to school.
Thanks again,

College Hockey:Youth Is Served By Quinnipiac
WORCESTER, Mass. — When it comes playoff time, the teams that seem to rise to the top of any pile are most often the ones deep in experience. Talented rookies can take you, without any doubt, into the postseason, but college clubs rich and juniors and seniors are usually the ones hoisting the trophy come tournament's end.
That's conventional thinking. Quinnipiac, though, has no reason to be thought of as conventional.
The Maize and Blue Thursday got the ultimate rookie performance in their 3-2 victory over Sacred Heart, advancing them to a rematch of last year's MAAC championship with Mercyhurst this Saturday in the title tilt. Behind the backstop of freshman Jamie Holden, who made 33 saves in stifling the Pioneers, and a two-goal effort by rookie center Matt Craig, Quinnipiac lives to see another day.
"There's no question that the freshmen have made a major impact," said Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold, whose club is making its fourth consecutive appearance in the MAAC final four. "We jumped from sixth or seventh [in the standings] all the way up to second in the second half of the year because my freshman got it going.
"It's a great freshman class, probably ahead of where I want them to be. I can be proud of them."
Holden's appearance and performance in the semifinal on Thursday was a chance at redemption of sort. He was lifted in favor of sophomore goaltender Justin Eddy last Saturday night after giving up four goals to Iona in the first 25 minutes of the MAAC quarterfinal. Obviously, Quinnipiac was able to rally and win the game, but that left Pecknold with the question of which of his two quality goaltenders to play.
"I was absolutely pleased with the way that Justin Eddy played [on Saturday night]," said Pecknold of his sophomore goaltender who a year ago won the starting job over senior J.C. Wells. "He struggled in the beginning of the year but he's really come on a lot.
"But Jamie's won the job this year. I felt confident in either guy who I threw out there, but to me, Jamie's been our MVP this year and he needs to play that game."
"I was a little shaken up after the Iona game," said Holden. "In a one game elimination it's either you do or you don't. I felt a little bit of pressure there and on one of the goals I got kind of caught deep. A couple of the guys came out and got behind me and said they wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for me in the regular season, so stand tall and I'll get 'em later.
"I just really wanted to play my best for the seniors and the coaches and that's what I did tonight to get us a win."
Holden, though without any college playoff experience, is still no stranger to playing in the big game. Before arriving at Quinnipiac, Holden led Merritt in the BCHL through an upset-laden playoff trail that ended with a runner-up finish in the British Columbia championship.
"We played 15 playoff games [last year] and I started every one," said Holden. "You win some and you lose some and you just have to keep your head up high and never get down on yourself. We have to keep positive like we did at Iona and like we did tonight and we came back and won both games."
Craig, who hails from London, Ontario, and played last season for the Stratford Cullitans of the Mid-Western league, is no stranger to playoffs. He led his Stratford team to the league championship in 1998 and carried the club to the Ontario finals. Still, he admitted that in the beginning of tonight's game, there were plenty of butterflies.
"There were definitely butterflies early in the first," said Craig. "Some of the seniors on my line, though, helped us out with that and we really got it going in the second period."
Got it going, they did. And Craig was the catalyst. After Brian Herbert's tally at 2:38 gave the Maize and Blue some momentum, Craig built on it, scoring 58 seconds later to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead. But that wasn't the end for this quiet and reserved rookie. He would use his speed and a great individual effort to speed past the Sacred heart defenseman and lift the eventual game-winner over Sacred Heart goaltender Eddy Ferhi.
Such has been the story for this Quinnipiac team. Having graduated five of the top 20 scorers in school history from last year's runner-up squad, everyone knew that Pecknold would have to bring in a top-notch recruiting class. Then, though, once getting those rookies through the door, it would be up to Pecknold, and more importantly his small senior class of Neil Breen, Ryan Olsen, Todd Bennett and Ben Blais, to help this freshman class adjust.
"The confidence [of the seniors] in the last few games has rubbed off on me personally, and it runs right down the whole team," said Craig, whose Quinnipiac club is 5-0-1 in its last six games and has lost only twice since a pair at Michigan State in early January.
"My seniors have really stepped up in the second half of the year, and they played really well tonight," said Pecknold, who admitted that his club basically gelled around the Christmas break. "They are really excited to go back and take care of Mercyhurst on Saturday night."
Now, the daunting task lies ahead of facing Mercyhurst, a team full of seniors — seniors with NCAA tournament experience. Regardless, that won't shake Quinnipiac, which Thursday night proved that with this talented crop of freshmen, the future looks bright.

Equine Canada encourages all equestrian sport in all disciplines to participate in anti-doping measures and fair medication control to safeguard the health and welfare of all horses.
Anti-doping and medication control exists at Equine Canada competitions to enforce the prohibition against banned substances in horses so as to provide fairness to all participants, to protect the safety of riders, and to maintain the health and welfare of the horse and promote fair competitions.
Equine Canada has published Equine Medication Control rules which are closely aligned with the equine drug and medication control regulations developed by the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency (CPMA). A description of permitted medications is included in these rules.
The Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency's Schedule of Drugs is now available: Schedule of Drugs

The Equine Medication Control Committee (EMCC) would like to remind all competitors, owners, grooms, trainers, etc. of a few prohibited medications in particular. The following substances are prohibited and have resulted in positive testes in 2011 and 2012.
Procaine– Penicillin G Procaine is an antibiotic which contains a local anesthetic, Procaine. The CPMA detection time is up to 425 hours and the Equine Medication Control Guide states that Procaine can be detectable up to 45 days. A detection time is not a withdrawal time and Equine Canada generally recommends doubling the detection time for a conservative withdrawal time to insure that a medication violation does not occur. Please consult your veterinarian for specific advice for your horse. This is a Class 3 Violation according to the Equine Canada Drug Classification Scheme.
Firocoxib(Previcox or Equioxx) – There is change in the detection for this medication There are no equine approved Firocoxib formulations in Canada. Equioxx is only approved in the United States for horses and Previcox is only approved in Canada for dogs. Therefore, it is a prohibited substance under Equine Canada medication rules and the detection of any amount constitutes a violation. The detection time in Canada is 14 days for the Oral administration of 57mg once daily for 5 days. A detection time is not a withdrawal time and Equine Canada generally recommends doubling the detection time for a conservative withdrawal time to insure that a medication violation does not occur. Please consult your veterinarian for specific advice for your horse. This is a Class 3 Violation according to the Equine Canada Drug Classification Scheme.
Ractopamine – This drug is commonly used in other species feed as a growth stimulant. Always check with your Feed Supplier to verify that your horse's feed does not contain any residue from previous feed. This is a class 2 Violation according to the Equine Canada Drug Classification Scheme.
Please note that if your horse is on more than one medication/drug/supplement that the withdrawal times can be affected.
Refer to the Equine Canada Drug Classification scheme and the Table of Fines and Penalties for all Equine Prohibited Medication classes and penalties available on the Equine Medication Control Website (http://www.equinecanada.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=40&Itemid=704&lang=en).

2013 FEI Equine Prohibited Substances List in effect from 1 January
The FEI Equine Prohibited Substance List for 2013, which has now been approved by the FEI Bureau, will come into force on 1 January 2013.
Following a period of consultation with the National Federations, the FEI List Group held its most recent meeting during the London 2012 Paralympics and signed off changes to the List for 2013. The changes include the addition of five new substances and other amendments.
The changes, which will be included in the 2013 List and will come into effect on 1 January of next year, are summarised here and below:
"The FEI List Group seeks to use the most up-to-date scientific research and information as part of its ongoing review of the Prohibited Substances List," said Graeme Cooke, FEI Veterinary Director.
"The National Federations and all the Veterinarians involved in our sport are very much a part of the consultation process and all comments received on the initial suggested changes, which were first proposed in April of this year, were discussed by the List Group prior to the changes being finalised.
"Publishing the changes to the List 90 days in advance, in accordance with our rules, means that the National Federations and their athletes will have plenty of time to familiarise themselves with the changes well ahead of the 2013 Equine Prohibited Substances List coming into force on 1 January next year."
The 2013 Equine Prohibited Substance List will be accessible prior to 1 January 2013 on the FEI Clean Sport website. Additionally, information is now available on the searchable FEI Equine Prohibited Substances Database, which is free to download for Smartphones.
GABA and Hydroxy-GABA to be added to the FEI Equine Prohibited Substances List
July 2013- Memorandum to EC Competition Officials Regarding GABA and Injectable Magnesium
The FEI List Group is the expert group tasked with determining which substances should be included on the FEI Equine Prohibited Substances List and in which category (Banned or Controlled Medication.)
The substances Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) and Hydroxy-gamma butyric acid (Hydroxy-GABA) were recently brought to the attention of the List Group, primarily by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) because they are ingredients in a commercial product known in the USA as 'Carolina Gold'. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitters and the USEF decided to prohibit it upon learning of documented adverse reactions in horses.
Based on this information, the FEI List Group has similarly advised the FEI to issue an immediate warning against the use of GABA and Hydroxy-GABA. GABA and Hydroxy-GABA will therefore be added to the FEI List of Equine Prohibited Substances with a 90-day implementation period as provided for in the rules. Starting immediately any request to an FEI Official/ Veterinary Delegate to administer a substance containing GABA or Hydroxy-GABA at an FEI Event will not be permitted.
This warning is being issued outside of the usual annual review process for the List Group.
