Great rooms. Comfy beds. Central to everything. Lovely breakfast. Great stay.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
This place was really nice, the service was excellent and we had a great stay. The room was big and comfortable. The only issue we had was that our toilet overflowed, but they moved us so it was ok. Would definitely recommend.

Historical Traveler Reviews Swiss-Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Very good quality vs price
Public places are nice. Staff is generally very friendly and helpful.
The room (standard) I used was not too big, but clean and convenient. My friends received another on the same floor, and this was bigger, equipped with a pc and a large bathroom with separate closed shower.
The swimming pool is a small round pool on the 3rd floor next to the health facilities. For a resort it would be small, but as this is typical a city hotel the pool is certainly convenient. Chairs, towels, etc are available free of charge.
The hotel is situated on a convenient place. The China town and a few shopping centers of Bintang Road are on walking distance. It avoids taxi costs!
In the lobby bar (The bleue lounge) there is evening entertainement. It is convenient but drinks are not cheap.
Internet is available in business center and in the lobby. A card at myr 10 is available at the reception. It is valid for 1 hour within 24 hours to be used.
Lovely Hotel
Everything about the hotel was excellent. Lovely clean room, comfortable bed, spotless huge bathroom with walk in shower and a bath as well. Seperate toilet. Satellite tv. Health and Beauty rooms offering treatments. Lovely pool area. If I had to be negative about something it is just the surrounding area which is a bit scruffy. It is literally a two minute walk tothe main Bukit Bintang shopping street and malls but the road that this hotel is on is somewhat disheartening. Taxi rank outside hotel offering excellent service to all areas of KL. Would recommend this hotel
Good value for money
Stayed at the Swiss Garden for 2 nights. The hotel is okay. The room was small and the washroom was tired looking - the water pressure of the shower was horrible. But the breakfast was good, the room was clean and it's walking distance to the main area. So, it's a good value for your money. Not sure if I would stay here again. Might want to try something else.
Great place
Stayed at the Swiss Garden last year for 4 nights and again this year for 3, would have stayed longer but had been booked into the Grand Season as a group for a wedding reception.
Loved everything aout the Swiss Garden, location was ideal for getting about, last year we walked to most places, Chinatown and the KL Tower we managed to walk to, although we got a taxi back from the latter. The Time Square Mall we loved, again in walking distance, I bought perscription designer eye glasses last year for �50, this year my husband and myself bougt a pair, �130 for both, great fit and the service was excellent, they rang our hotel to inform us when they were ready (next day)
The buffet breakfast in the swiss Garden was excellent, as was the evening buffet, loads of choice. Will stay here again when we return to KL.
Great Value
Great value for money, loaction close to chinatown and shopping plazas. Generally very comfortable, downside warmish shower and not Hot as expected.
Good Hotel in a great location
We stayed at the Swiss Garden for 3 nights in June 2004 on the way to Langkawi and for one more night on our way back to Britain. On the first night we had to have a twin room as we wanted a non-smoking room and they only have one floor for non-smoking (the 13th!).
The second night we moved to a room with a double bed.
Breakfast was included and was a varied buffet.
The hotel is ideally situated close to Bintang Walk and Chinatown.
My boyfriend used the pool and sauna and said they were adequate and quite refreshing.
On our last night in KL we had the special buffet for 55RM for 2 people and ate sushi, oysters, Malaysian food, cakes, the lot! Excellent value.
Drinks are expensive, but that seems to be the case in Malaysian hotels.
We would recommend this hotel to people visiting KL, and would stay there again.
Swiss Garden Hotel
The Swiss Garedn was fabulous and in particular a Staff Member called Asean. She was VERY helpful in getting my internet connected.
Hotel is well located and great facilities.
Try a massage.
P.S. I will be back
I loved it
The hotel was one of the best things of the whole trip ..we stayed in atriple room which was so big and comfortable and the the staff were the best there. The only problem which i don't think is really that big is that the staff don't know anything about the attractions in the city .If you're thinking of going to Kuala Lumpur this is the best choice you can take.
Can't get better a better location at great value in KL
Our package deal holiday included 3 nights stay at the Swiss garden hotel in Kuala Lumpur. It is important that you don't confuse this with the Swiss Inn, although it is the same hotel group (I think) this one is a bit more superior and in a better location.
When we arrived at this hotel, it was better than I expected as I had confused it with the Swiss Inn.
The lobby area and staff are very welcoming, courteous and helpful. Although there was a slight mishap with our room, this did not bother us at all as the hotel was pretty good and the rooms were nice, clean and comfortable.
The hotel is literally less than 5 minutes walk away from the cities main shopping malls - which are abundant and huge, and also about 5 minutes taxi ride away from the petronas towers and KLCC tower. About 15-20 minutes walk away is the bustling Chinatown where you can get good food and buy the odd designer knock-off designer handbag or DVD film!
6 nights a week there is a live music band in the bar (Radical Zone when we visited) which provided lively and also relaxed entertainment. The prices in the bar though are ridiculously expensive - Three 500ml bottles of evian cost GBP �6... so watch out!!!
We were also lucky enough to have stayed while there was a buffet promotion in the restaurant. The food was really good and so cheap at 55RM for 2 people. They also have a regular menu but we didn't use this as the buffet was much better value and there was more of a variety.
The only disappointment we suffered during our stay was that although we did go to see the petronas towers, we never went up the viewing bridge. We arrived on saturday evening and were leaving tuesday morning - the viewing bridge is closed on Mondays so our only hope was sunday morning.
We were told late morning that you are supposed to queue up very early in the morning as 1000 tickets are given out daily (except monday) on a first come first serve basis from 8 or 8:30am.
Nobody actually warned us about this so we were so disappointed in the hotel and our tour rep for not telling us - even though they knew we were going there on sunday morning.
If I ever went back to KL I would definitely stay at the swiss garden hotel again.
Best Hotel for your money in Kuala Lumpur!
We live in a small town in Malaysia and whenever we visit Kuala Lumpur we always book a hotel since we are carrying a small baby. We always book through the internet and that way we tried at least 10-15 different hotels, ranging from 3 to 5 stars.
So far Swiss Garden is THE best one and at a very reasonable price. Service is excellent, rooms are nice and clean, its close to the biggest malls and just 10 minutes away from Petaling Street. Lobby is nice, parking is free and the breakfast is one of the best and most complete I have seen so far. Dinner in the restaurant is very good but pricy, but nobody is perfect!
Standard rooms are RM 140 and Deluxe rooms are RM 160. Look around on the internet and don't pay more then that.
TripAdvisor Reviews Swiss-Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Travel Blogs from Kuala Lumpur
Our day started with arriving in KL and getting to the airport as described in yesterday's post. With the 7-hour time difference, we had lost part of a day. After breakfast in the hotel we went up to our room for a few hour's sleep. The room had a pull-out clothes line above the bath, so we hand-washed a few clothes. Much cheaper then the hotel ...Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia julians26

it's coming
It has that old familiar feeling of crisp clean notebooks and new shoes and morning frost and decaying leaves.
She's just around the corner.
Fall has always been my favourite season - it's such a rich season for the senses.
The leaves change colour - right now all the Virginia Creeper on my patio and fence is turning to oranges and reds, and the leaves on the trees are getting lighter and turning yellow...
The chilled air hits your lungs in the morning and is almost refreshing and has a particular scent that's hard to pin down.
It's time to start wearing hats and sweaters and scarves and mittens and socks - casting the barefoot bareshouldered days behind.
Going back to school, it used to be my favourite time of year. New class, new teacher, new things to learn - a whole world of possibilities... seeing friends i hadn't seen all summer, the feeling of the wet and cold playground equipment turning my fingers into popsicles because i haven't brought any mittens...
It all comes rushing back to me, those sights and smells and memories, when i open the door and head to my car - breathing in the air - knowing that winter is coming all too soon and that fall, so very short, will be over almost before it begins. This is the season that i savour, like a decadent dessert i want to last longer so i let it melt on my tongue before swallowing.
It's coming.

camping is in-tents
Whatever made me think that this time would be any different, i'll never know.
What started it all was an invitation to a family reunion. I haven't been to a reunion on my maternal grandmother's side since i was a kid. The reunion was to take place in southern Alberta, in a campground eight hours away. I hmmed and hawed about going for a few days and finally decided that we should go, my grandmother hasn't even met my son yet. So, B-rad and i made the decision, got the time off, and went out in search of a new tent, one that would fit both us and the baby's playpen.
The short story is, we found one and it's pretty sweet, we went home and set it up and i could feel myself getting pumped up for this reunion.
Then i got a call from my grandma telling me that none of my uncles or cousins were coming to this reunion, so then it all boiled down to whether or not my brother would be coming from Cowtown. He would only be able to make it for just the saturday, and only a few hours at that! So, B-rad, my brothers and partners, and i decided that an eight hour drive was not worth going to hang out with people we didn't know - why don't we just go camping somewhere close by?
What better place than the last place i went camping when Chewie made his early debut - arriving 2 months ahead of schedule...
Okay, so if the rain wasn't enough to get us off to a rocky start, we had booked an electrical camp site - so all our meals were planned around being able to use a slow cooker... we get there and the only outlet there is one of those gigantic plug ins you use to plug in a camper. what the frak?
The rain kept at it all day.
We were wet and chilled, everyone except for Chewie and the new baby Leeloo. My 3 nephews were running around in their gumboots and playing swords with their umbrellas...
Me and Pam... HAVING FUN!!
BUT! as my SIL and i said over and over again: "I'm HAVING FUN!!!!"
This fire was the best thing ever. Oh, blessed heat.We had a family supper, we ate too much food, we finally got a fire going to make s'mores when the rain stopped for a blessed hour or so... and Willy Billy and family went home leaving us to retire to our chilly, but THANKFULLY dry tents.
Me and my nephew playing with the camera - actually got a good one!
It was far too cold for Chewie to sleep in his playpen, so he slept with us on our airmattress, but over the course of the night it leaked just enough that i sank into the middle with Chewie owning over half of the airmattress real estate, and B-rad and i Jammed onto the remaining 2 feet of space.
For someone who slept so crappily, he sure was happy to be awake... at six thirty...
Chewie had a terrible night, and woke up constantly. 'Course it didn't help when, at one point some young punkass hooligans walked by our tent making a bunch of noise - when they heard the baby cry, they shut up... but my brother told me the next morning he was tempted to run out and beat them up for me. what a nice big brother.So, over the course of the night - it poured constantly, i froze like a popsicle, i dared not move for fear of waking the baby...again.... which led to my hips cramping, my arm falling asleep... shivering my butt off... and in the morning we decided to SUCK IT UP AND STICK IT OUT!! i KNOW!! can you believe it?
So we spent a good chunk of the day in my brother's big tent playing cards and visiting... after our executive decision to stick it out, we felt strong, like we could do anything... and at 3 oclock we took Chewie back into our tent for a nap... we blew up the air mattress to firmness again, and settled down for some family shut eye.
When Chewie finally fell asleep, laying across my chest, i started thinking that our mattress felt a little squishy. i looked over at B-rad, and he confirmed my fear, our air mattress' slow leak had transformed to a FAST leak and over the course of ten minutes our 2' high queen sized air mattress had deflated enough that i was laying on the ground, a sleeping baby still sprawled across my chest.
Here we are on the rapidly deflating air mattress, the picture doesn't do it justice, but at this point i'm laying completely on the cold ground with big billows of air mattress all around me.
well.that was the last straw.
Yes, we may have been able to stick it out through another rainy/cold night, we may have been able to find enough dry layers left to even make it enjoyable, but there was no way we were sleeping on the ground, and try as me might the three of us just wouldn't fit inside Chewie's playpen.
We had to go home.
We felt such a sense of defeat as we packed up our gear. We felt that we had been cheated, that we made it this far only to be sent home on a technicality. My older brother and family had just inherited a lot more space on the site because they were intent on staying. Good on 'em.
And if only to add injury to insult, as we pulled out of the campground and began the trek back home - the sky was clearing, there were rainbows on the horizon, and we saw one of the most gorgeous sunsets that only happens on the prairies...
Beautiful, helps me remember why we moved back to The Skatch
Looking back from the dry warmth of the civilized world, it was actually kinda fun. And my SIL was right when she told me from inside the tent sunday morning: "Even if we go camping and its terrible weather and it seems so dismal - we're still making memories as a family, the fact that we went camping together will mean something" So wise.
So, i'm not giving up hope.
Next year, we'll go again. And the year after that. And the year after that, until we get it right! Because i'd rather make memories now than wish i had later.

Summer Recipes a la Paige
The Diva has requested from me a Guest Post. I'm quite honoured actually, and then I panicked. What the hell am I going to write about? I made her give me a topic. "Tell me about your signature dish." Oh great. I don't have a signature dish, I don't even think I've ever made the same thing twice! But I got to thinking about the type of things I love to make and what I would create if I were the chef if my own restaurant.
It's so cliche but I love fresh, local ingredients. The other day I was at the grocery store and they had the most beautiful bunches of green onions. It's crazy I know, but they were such a vibrant green, young and succulent looking - a new crop. Not those old, dried out, dull ones you usually see. The ends were clean and crisp white. I was so excited I bought four bunches! I didn't know what I was going to do with four bunches of green onions but I had to have them. I couldn't wait to get home and dream up something to put them in.
The farmer's market is my favourite place to shop - home grown fruit and vegetables, fresh baking, flowers, honey... The flavour in home grown food is second to none. I believe you can taste the love put into it! I go early in the morning before anyone in my house is awake and I full up my re-useable bags with fresh ingredients. Then I drive home in bliss my head full of ideas for supper.
I like food that is simple to make, doesn't take a lot of weird ingredients but has a lot of flavour. There's nothing I hate more than to seek out some expensive, never-before-heard-of ingredient for a new receipe to find out the flavour is awful. But I keep trying. I love spices, and spice doesn't have to mean heat.
Lately I've really taken up the challenge of low fat, low cholesterol. So here's my signature dish:
(All recipes below can be found at the Taste of Home website - www.tasteofhome.com)
Sweet Spinach Salad
I hate salad - to me lettuce is rabbit food. This one I could eat everyday. I think it's the mandarins and the orangy dressing. It's very fresh and light and full of vitamins! If you don't have mandarins, strawberries are a good substitute.
3 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1 package (10 ounces) fresh baby spinach
1 can (15 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
2/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted (I've also used toasted sunflower seeds)
In a blender, combine the orange juice concentrate, sugar, vinegar, onion and salt. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Stir in poppy seeds. Transfer to a small pitcher or bowl. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled.
On salad plates, arrange the spinach, mandarin oranges and almonds. Drizzle with dressing. Yield: 6 servings.
Angel Hair Alfredo
This one is JRK's favourite! I add shrimp to it and wait for all the yummy noises! Sometimes I serve this all on it's own with a big piece of garlic bread.
8 to 12 ounces angel hair pasta
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1-1/2 cups milk
4 ounces light cream cheese, cubed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute garlic in oil until lightly browned. Stir in the flour, cornstarch, garlic salt, pepper and basil until blended. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Reduce heat;whisk in cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until smooth. I usually like to add some shrimp or chicken, sometimes diced ham - whatever you have on hand. Heat through. Drain pasta; add to sauce and toss to coat. Yield: 4-6 servings.
Caribbean Chicken Grilled
Chicken is a summer favourite of mine. But I believe chicken has to be marinated if you're going to put it on the BBQ, then it stays nice and moist and has lots of flavour. This is my absolute favourite. It's one recipe that has made the regular rotation. The chicken comes off the grill sweet and moist and a little spicy.
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons canola oil
6 green onions, sliced
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
3 teaspoons dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
In a blender, combine the first nine ingredients, cover and process until smooth. Pour 1/2 cup into a small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Drain and discard marinade. Coat grill rack with cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting frequently with the reserved marinade. Yield: 6 servings.
The second topic the Diva gave me was "What is something that is so easy to make it should be ridiculous that it tastes so good." This dessert is that exactly. It takes two minutes to put together and cooks on low on the BBQ while you have the rest of your meal. I serve it hot with a scoop of ice cream.
Grilled Peaches 'n' Berries
2 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted
1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or Saskatoon Berries)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons butter (I omit this to reduce the fat.)
Place two peach halves, cut side up, on each of two double thicknesses of heavy-duty foil (12 in. square). Sprinkle each with blueberries, brown sugar and lemon juice; dot with butter. Fold foil around peaches and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium-low heat for 18-20 minutes or until tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 2 servings.
Thanks, Paige, you're a grilled peach!!

I'm also trying out a new platform - using wordpress this time instead of blogger to see how that works... who knows, maybe i'll fall in love and we'll pack up blogger and move over there? The relationship is still too new... we're going to try dating before shacking up together.
SO! What can you expect at my review site? You guessed it. Comedy. Well, i hope to have some of my comedic brilliance shine through, but... we'll see i guess. It will be a mish mash of sorts - some unsolicited reviews, some paid, some giveaways and contests. It's a dog's breakfast! mmm.
go on over and look around. There's not too much in the way of content at the moment - those reviews are coming soon to a computer near you!!
(Earl, Slyde - there *may* even be a picture of my butt soon... so keep a watchful eye!)

Frakkin' SkinJobs...
At first, this was all the regular child like fears that one would associate with aliens... the big black eyes, oversized skulls, long skinny arms and legs.... The terrifying thought that they were controling your mind with ultra super sensitive thought rays and you would be slaves to them for the rest of your lives, if you survived...
As i became an adult, this fear evolved as my own self awareness did. Trying to keep an open mind, and through everything i had learned in my days as a Dirty-Hippy-Lite i began to release the fear of mind controlling aliens, and instead i began to foster a deeper more terrifying fear...
...of human nature.
While my childish fear of things that went bump in the night began to dissapate, it didn't take long for me to come to the conclusion that in all the planets and all the solar systems in all the galaxies in all the universe - to assume or even imagine that we are the only intelligent lifeforms in existance is just plain idiotic. Of course, a lot of this came to me when i started shedding away my old preconceptions of God and Religion... (although Mormons DO have a very intersting belief system about life on other planets...but i digress.) And if WE are engaging in space exploration, it is safe to assume that any other civilization might be doing the same.
So it became an issue of "WHEN" the aliens come, and not "IF"... whether this event happens in my life time or not, eventually the life forms will establish contact in some way (assuming, of course, that they haven't already).
Which brings me to my point. Humans are stupid, egotistical, self righteous creatures with a heightened sense of entitlement and a bad case of the God Complex who are terrified of the unknown. As a broad sweeping generalization. A SINGLE PERSON is fine, but as a species, we're pretty scary.
So, why am i afraid of Alien Contact? My biggest fear is that we will be contacted by a race, and before we have a chance to understand them or communicate, or coexist - some stupid person will do something moronic and ruin it for everyone on the planet... like "fire the nukes". Then we're all fucked... the idea of one person, one country, or one governing body making the decision for the entire planet scares the frakkin' bejeezus out of me.... And from my understanding this is what the movie District 9 is all about... i probably will see it, even though i'll probably have nightmares for weeks.
So there you have it.
what say you? what is your biggest fear?

dude, it's not a problem, it means that you got a new message in the Wii so they are announcing that..what you need to do is turn it on and check by yourself dude
so the blue light in my wii's optical drive has been turning on randomly all by itself (console remains off- red light near power button, but blue light glistening around drive)...
it will be off and i will be doing homework and i will look up and it will all of a sudden start emitting the blue light that cycically gets brighter and dimmer... almost like it is saying "play with me" in an ominous voice..
but seriously, anyone else been having this problem? i am starting to think something is wrong... we already had to send one wii back because it quit working.

Designs by Fashion Design alumnus and CCAD Fashion Icon award winner Edward Buchanan (CCAD 1988-1991) are featured in the spring 2011 issue of France's Blast magazine; the spring summer 2011 issue of Italy's Hunter Fashion Magazine; in Volume 3, Issue 3 of France's Vice magazine; and in the first installment of Viktor Mag.
Buchanan is the owner and designer of international fashion line Sansovino 6. His spring line was also featured in the Ahead of the Class article in the March issue of W Magazine.
"This spring he has taken on the world of jeans," wrote J.J. Martin for W. "Indigo knits, washed and distressed by an Italian denim specialist, have been used to create unisex cutoff shorts, jackets, and various pant silhouettes. The five pocket boot cut could be mistaken for a stylishly worn-in pair of Levi's, but done up in fine-gauge cotton knit, it feels as snuggly as sweats."

People stand at the site of a plane crash near Grombalia town, south of Tunis, yesterday.
NIANOU, Tunisia: A medical plane carrying a former jihadist turned member of Libya's first transitional government crashed south of Tunis early yesterday, killing all 11 on board, Tunisian and Libyan officials said.
The aircraft came down in a field on the edge of Nianou village, around 40km from the capital, without hitting any houses, and burst into flames, a journalist reported. The Libyan flag was still visible on the tailplane amid the charred wreckage, which belonged to the Libyan air force.
"The plane crashed at 1:30 am (0030 GMT)... with 11 people on board — three doctors, two patients and six crew members," emergency services spokesman Mongi El Kadhi said.
"The whole plane was completely burnt out. The emergency services went to the crash site and recovered the charred bodies."
The plane was transporting Meftah Al Mabrouk Issa Al Dhawadi to Tunis from a military airfield near Tripoli for medical treatment, the Libyan government said in a statement.
Another unidentified patient was on the plane, according to the statement, adding that they were accompanied by four people, including a doctor, and five crew.
Dhawadi was a leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) — a now disbanded movement with alleged links to Al Qaeda which joined the 2011 Nato-backed uprising that overthrew dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Several members of the group served in the transitional government of Abdelrahim Al Kib, which held power for a year from November 2011. Dhawadi was undersecretary at the ministry of martyrs and missing persons.

Written between October and early November 1799, Die Christenheit oder Europa [Christendom or Europe] is Friedrich von Hardenberg's only prose essay. With a glorifying description of the European Middle Ages as a time of unity and the practice of Christian ideals, Hardenberg calls for the restoration of a strong and cohesive Christendom that will invigorate the present inhabitants of Europe after a period of political (French Revolution) and religious (the disintegration of papal authority) turmoil and decline. Hardenberg first recited the essay to fellow Romantics – Friedrich and August Wilhelm Schlegel, Dorothea Veit, Caroline Schlegel, Ludwig Tieck and Friedrich Schelling – on 13 or 14 …

Excellent Dr.
Dec 5th, 2011
I went to Dr. Polanco as my HMO required that I see her before I saw a specialist for my allergies. She prescribed the Nedi Pot (OTC) and Flonase (Prescription) and encouraged my continued use of Allegra (OTC) if I so choose. She said if that did not work that she would refer me to the allergist. She had seen lots of success with this combo. Well, she was right! I don't take Allegra anymore and with my daily nasal cleaning and morning Flonase, I am just about cured of my allergies! Thanks Dr. Polanco. (She did refer me to a dermatologist for my other concern. She does refer when necessary!)

She is one of the most caring doctors. I will go to see her wherever she goes in the Area.

It depends on what you order. I'm guessing a lot of fast food is processed.
I'm just wondering just how poisonous fast food truly is. What are the facts?
Not the emotional reactions that "It's bad!! Are you serious?"
Not circular reasoning like "Fast food is unhealthy b/c it's bad for you!"
Not subjective opinion like "It tastes like crap! I get hives!"
(Maybe you've convinced yourself you LOVE the taste of dry broccoli, but fast food is scientifically proven to be tasty: Fat, salt, sugar)
The above is not logic, science, and reasoning. I want facts only.
People immediately knee-jerk and say how horrible and dangerous fast food is.
They even equate it to poison. Yet, if it were poison, wouldn't the FDA ban it?
Clearly, millions of people eat fast food, and don't drop dead on the spot.
It is literally not poison. Fact.
Fast food has high sodium. Is there evidence salt will kill you? The blood pressure link was debunked years ago.
Fast food has fat. Is there evidence fat will kill you?
Fast food has GMO. Is there evidence GMO will kill you?
Then people cite calories and portion control as a negative of fast food. But this is different than unhealthy poison food. But, overeating is not the fault of fast food and doesn't make fast food inherently poisonous. You can also overeat at Whole Foods and get 5 lbs of hot buffet bar. So, let's avoid red herrings like "Well, the 64 oz super duper soda and 1000 calories quadruple stacker burger is bad for you" That's obvious. But, if you control for portion size, just how poisonous is fast food? ie: What if a person just eats a side salad and a small 250 calorie burger? Is he eating poison that is rotting out his insides?
Also, people immediately cite "deep fried" as why fast food is horrible. But, the majority of fast food is not fried. So, this is also weak logic. Is non-fried fast food poison that will rot out your insides?
I want facts only. Specific additives that are proven to be carcinogenic.

I don't trust the FDA with a stick to know what to ban and what not to ban. Case in point: Statins.
Also, the FDA wouldn't have the ability to ban fast food. They don't set dietary guidelines in the U.S., the USDA does. Besides, they never would, even with irrefutable evidence it's bad for us. U.S. Food interests and agribusiness lobbies would see to it that it never happened.
So the fact that it's not banned is not proof it's NOT bad for us.
"The cling and a clang is the metal in my head when I walk. I hear a sort of, this tinging noise - cling clang. The cling clang. So many things happen while walking. The metal in my head clangs and clings as I walk - freaks my balance out. So the natural thought is just clogged up. Totally clogged up. So we need to unplug these dams, and make the the natural flow... It sort of freaks me out. We need to unplug the dams. You cannot stop the natural flow of thought with a cling and a clang..."
Yes, every time I eat it I feel like shit.
It's standardized, highly processed, CAFO, lots of additives....
There are things you can buy in the grocery store that are equally poor quality though, so for people who eat those things it's probably comparable.
Who cares if it's actually "poisonous" it tastes like crap! If you need science to convince you that it's not okay to eat fast food, be my guest, have my share! I'd rather fast than eat flavors manufactured in a lab and made by machines. I don't only eat for my health, I eat for flavor. Nor do I need the FDA to tell me what's good to eat.
Life is death. We all take turns. It's sacred to eat during our turn and be eaten when our turn is over. RichMahogany.
This is a little bit like asking "Why is arsenic bad for you? I see how people used to drink it for medicine, but they didn't die immediately."
-- Simply put, it is unbelievably highly processed with caloric bombs that would be impossible without industrial food technologies. By this I mean that one can eat a standard meal, and within it there will be fat/carbs/sugar/fat that as no match in actual human food....and to add to it, it is all nearly devoid of fiber. This means that it is digested extremely quickly, with hormonal responses exaggerated to match it. Natural food is NEVER capable of those kind of macros without fiber.
-- The additives to it have never been tested long-term in humans. I am talking about putting the stuff that yoga mats are made of into meat to make it more "spongy", or any of the thousand of other additives like it.
-- No one with functioning brain cells is calling it "poison", in the same sense that cyanide is poison....it is called industrial food. This makes it, almost by definition, not "human food".
I would write more, but it feels unnecessary. It is not exactly controversial to say that if I can eat a quarter pounder and fries at McDonalds, taking in about 3500 cal without any fiber in it hardly at all, that this is probably not good for you. Add that it is bathed in additives, highly inflammatory oils, on and on. I mean really? This is an actual question?
"The soul that does not attempt flight; does not notice its chains."
These days, the seed oils are the obvious downside.
The veg. oils and grains are the main problems I have with fast food from a health perspective. I'd eat the meat (like the un-bunned burgers, not the "chicken" nuggets) and the veg without a worry. Not every day though, because it's just junky quality stuff. If you think it's good for you, go eat a diet comprised of lots of it and report back to us.

The Oklahoma Naval ROTC has been forced to cancel the annual relay connected to the Oklahoma/Texas football game.
A spokesperson said the event was canceled after a letter from the Secretary of the U.S. Navy said ROTC groups could not participate in outreach programs.
The annual event is a fundraiser for Toys for Tots.
Normally, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops hands off a football to a runner at the OU Armory and the ball is run all the way to Dallas.
The event, previously scheduled to start Wednesday morning, will not take place this year.

Mt. Rainier: one of nature's art galleries
by Deborah Stone
Features writer
National parks are some of nature's finest art galleries, filled with awe-inspiring scenery guaranteed to soothe the soul.
This summer I had the fortune of camping at one of these natural paradises and it proved to be an ideal vacation spot for my family.
It had been many years since we'd ventured south to Mt. Rainier; the last time being when our oldest son was just an infant.
The experience of staying in a lodge room the size of a closet with an fussy baby, combined with dreary, damp weather (making it impossible to get a glimpse of the mountain) was more than unpleasant and left us with little desire to return.
Lucky for us, though, our friends planned our joint annual camping trip and decided on Rainier, giving us reason to have a second date with this national treasure. After spending a long weekend hiking and exploring around the area, my husband and I remarked on how sad it was that we had waited so long to return to this splendid wilderness retreat so close to home.
The mountain was in its glory, clearly visible during one of those picture perfect postcard weekends in August. Massive, snow tipped and blanketed with colorful, perfumed wildflowers, it was a sight to behold and treasure. I knew that my memory would have to serve me well because no matter how many photos I took, they would not do justice to the visual reality.
Wherever we went, we found yet another awesome view, each time climbing higher to experience more of the mountain's magic.
We reached areas of melting snow and plastered ourselves with wonderful slush to cool down our heated bodies, after hiking up never ending switchbacks in the warmth of the day.
The children, who ranged in age from seven to 13, and even some of the adults, filled their caps with snow and then placed them on their heads to serve as natural coolants as we continued walking.
We marveled at eating our sandwiches perched on top of a snow mound in summer and laughed at a chubby marmot who played hide and seek with us behind a rock. He was a humorous character who seemed to like putting on a show for hikers and we easily obliged him by being a captive audience.
Our actual camping experience was also ideal, as the campground we chose, Ohanapecosh, was spacious, wooded and afforded privacy between sites. It was set along a picturesque river with a waterfall, had easy access to several nature trails, contained a visitors' center with interesting displays and hiking information, and had an outdoor amphitheater for evening ranger talks and presentations (the one time we attended, the topic was on the challenges of climbing Rainier).
What amazed us was the peacefulness of the campground and how quiet it got at night, compared with many other places we have stayed that remain noisy way after midnight.
Our children find camping a joy, as they love sleeping and eating outdoors, sitting by a fire, using their pocketknives, getting dirty and not having to shower, and simply having the freedom to explore without numerous restrictions and rules.
They fall asleep easily after all the physical exercise and fresh air, and awaken with renewed energy, ready to start a fire and dig into a stack of blueberry pancakes.
After many years of camping, they are also able to help in setting up the site (as opposed to hindering in this task!), relieving my husband and me of some of the burden. It used to be that one of us would have to supervise the kids to keep them out of the other one's hair while he/she would put up the tent, but that is no longer necessary.
In addition, their abilities to complete lengthy hikes have increased, as well as their willingness and desire to take on more challenging trails. They take pride in their accomplishments and their abilities, eagerly discussing elevation gain, terrain and ratings of difficulty like mountaineering pros. As a family vacation, camping in one of nature's art galleries was a true pleasure. It was a privilege, too, as it made me appreciate our country's foresight in protecting and preserving areas of great beauty so that my children, my children's children and generations to come can continue to have memorable experiences with nature.

Rohde is All-American, All-Star invitee
Related Links
The West Region and Great Northwest Athletic Conference player-of-the-year will be the first Seawolf ever to appear in the D-II all-star event, which features 22 invitees from around the nation. Rohde is one of just two West Region players on the squad, along with Reggie Jones of Cal State Stainislaus.
The game, which is held in conjunction with men's D-II Elite Eight, will be held at the Kentucky Bank Center on Friday, Mar. 23 at 3 p.m. ADT.
"We are excited that Taylor will get the opportunity to showcase his talents on a national platform," said UAA head coach Rusty Osborne, whose team finished 23-7 and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. "He has performed at a high level for two years, and this is a fitting reward for all his hard work. I am sure that he will represent Seawolf basketball with class and a high degree of character in any activities during the week."
With his selection by Basketball Times, Rohde becomes the first Seawolf since Luke Cooper (2nd Team) in 2008 to gain All-America status from that publication.
The 6-9, 255-pound center from Phoenix (Pinnacle HS) led the Great Northwest Athletic Conference in scoring (19.8), field-goal percentage (.627) and double-doubles (9), and finished in a virtual three-way tie for the rebounding lead with 8.0 rpg.
The two-year transfer from Arizona State was a double-figure scorer in 26 of 30 games this season and shot 50-plus percent from the floor in 25 of the last 26 contests, including an ending streak of 17. Rohde tallied 12 games of at least 25 points – including four outings of 30-plus. Among his most impressive performances were a 28-point, 16-rebound effort in a Nov. 25 victory over Division I UC Irvine and his 32 points and 11 rebounds in UAA's NCAA Tournament First Round win over Montana State Billings.
Rohde quickly climbed UAA's all-time charts, reaching the 1,000-point mark in just 57 games and breaking the career record for field-goal percentage at .621. He also finished among the program leaders in scoring average (10th, 17.9 ppg), points (11th, 1,143), rebounds (t-11th, 463), rebounding averages (10th, 7.2 rpg), free throws made (4th, 291), free throws made per game (4th, 4.5), double-doubles (t-7th, 13) and games started (11th, 63).

June 18, 2012, 08:07 AM
I seen on Lee's site that their slug mold should use only pure lead. My questions is how hard should #oo buck and slugs be, or should they be pure lead. If you are using wadding anyway does it really matter?

I'm pretty sure the alloy requirements are there to ensure the projectile can release from the mold, not because of potential bore damage.
June 18, 2012, 09:37 AM
Pure lead casts better from the Lee Slug mould. Use of w/w metal will give poor release from the mould.
On the other hand, I've gotten excellent results casting buck-shot from w/w metal. It's somewhat harder than factory pellets, even the plated ones and gives superior patterns.... Very tight if you slightly reduce velocities.
I've got a 10-pellet #1 buck load for the 20ga (.310") that will shoot 90%+ patterns at 40yds from a modified choke.. Typically 10" pattern at 25yds.
You can't get this performance from factory ammo, and no such load exists either.
With the slugs, I got poor casting from the Lee mould as the hollow base plug will "pull" plugs from the "partition", resulting in poor balance and un-even weights....
Besides, I've never gotten decent accuracy from the Lee "key-drive" moulds. I suggest you use the Lyman "sabot" mould that resembles an air-rifle pellet and is also loaded in a shot-cup (ie: Win AA-wad). This slug works equally well from a rifled or smooth barrel....
June 18, 2012, 09:55 AM
Buckshot should be hard so it does not deform on firing. Out of round shot will not pattern as tiight as hard or plated shot. Adding a plastic filler/buffer in with the buckshot will protect the shot. Buffer available at http://www.ballisticproducts.com/ The alloy used for mag shot contains 6% antimony. The Lee slug needs pure lead to release from the mould. The Lyman wasp shaped does not.
June 18, 2012, 11:26 AM
Hard buckshot will pattern better.
Factory hollow base rifled slugs (Forster Slugs) are very soft swaged lead so they can deform in the choke if necessay, and expand or flatten when they hit a deer.
June 18, 2012, 11:30 AM
A lot of people overlook fullbore cast round balls. They're easy to cast (make them hard or soft as desired), very accurate and weigh like 750gr in 12ga. They have tremendous penetration.
June 18, 2012, 04:32 PM
June 18, 2012, 04:37 PM
very accurate and weigh like 750gr in 12ga
Cast of pure lead, I'd hope they weigh closer to 583 grains.
June 18, 2012, 05:45 PM
True. I realized my mistake. More like 1 5/16 oz. My error.
June 18, 2012, 05:53 PM
My Lee mold actually fell apart on me last week. I went to tap a slug off the center pin and it fell out. I'll probably need to find someone to weld it back on for me.
Luckily, two Lyman slug molds arrived via UPS later that day.

Was'nt sure what expect last weekend as the flows on the USGS did not look to good due to the recent rains. My plan was to fish the Youghiogheny River but if it was blown out I would head to my local favorite freestoner. I thought if all else fails I could fish the Yough from where the Casselman River enters up to the dam if the freestoner was a mess too. The release was to be only 400 cfs for the weekend and should be much clearer than the rest of the river.
I arrived at Ramcat access at 730am on Sat. to a thick blanket of fog eveloping the river. I thought to myself damn, as I recalled a recent viedo I watched where Joe Humphries said "you can't catch fish where their is fog on the water". The river was running high so I opted for plan B and headed to a freestone stream to see if it was in any better shape. Also, this was only the second time I forgot my waders in my flyfishing career and the decision to head to the freestoner was an easy one as the water is about 59 near the dam.
The freestoner was high and off color but the water had been dropping for 3 days so I gave it a shot. I took a reading and the water was about 68. I caught several smallish trout both browns and rainbows all below. No risers in these waters. I did ok and was enjoying myself but thought I would give the Yough another try. Many hours had passed since my flyby at Ramcat earlier that day. The river had a chance to warm a bit and continued to drop as it had for 3 days.
So back at Ramcat access at 4pm I rigged my newest weapon a Winston Boron IIx 9'6 6wt and headed to the river. I found a likely spot and began to pick up several brook trout in the 10-12 inch range as well as several rainbows in the 12-16 inch range. T This was awesome, I mean to catch trout every couple of casts at the Yough, something special was happening for me. I have struggled mightly at the Yough on many earlier attempts,was I finally getting it? The fishing was easier than I expected and the water temps were pleasant. (read wading here) Whatever was happening I was enjoying it. This is exciting. Hours had passed and the nearly full moon appeared over the mountainous river valley when I decided I had better head back to the car.
I reeled in and struggled my way into the dark rock and weed garden along the bank. It was pitch dark as I fumbled my way through the forest and up the bank to the bike path(read no headlamp here). It was then that I realized that I had just lost the top two sections of my newest pride and joy. I was sick. Looking into the dark I new I had to come back at first light and start the search. This meant an unscheduled but welcomed stay at a local motel as I was now exhausted. As I slogged back to the car, I felt confident I would find the other half of my rod in the morning.
The next morning I was back at Ramcat put my remaining two pieces of the rod together and headed out. I was so confident I was going to find the missing pieces I did not even bother to rid a different rod. As I began the search, my confidence was eroded as the 2 million sticks scattered around the area of my exit from the night prior all looked like the two top sections of a Winston rod.
Well, I figured I would at least still get some early morning fishing and made another long slog back to the car to retrieve a SAGE 9' 5wt complete with all sections. Rigged in minutes, here I was again walking back to the disaster area where my lost pieces. Thinking the sections would probably end up in McKeesport by spring. Anyhow, back the fishing. I used the same setup as the night before and again was into fish. This was gratifying after dealing with my bonehead mistakes earlier. Again, I did well and by 11am the fishing had slowed and I decided to call it a weekend. As I made it to the bank, I figured I would give it one more shot to look for the missing rod sections. I retraced my steps as best I could while in the back of my mind knowing that if a branch caught one of my guides it could have flung the sections 10ft from my path. Well, as fought my way through the brush and turned my head to avoid a branch there they were. About two inches from my face hanging there in a small branch was the other half of my rod. YES!!!! I praised and thanked GOD for finging the missing peices. It was Sunday morning afterall. I think I skipped back to the car!!!!
I have photo's but after 3 tries at posting I have given up.

Nothing beats a happy ending. I was up in the area Sunday. Fished the tailrace from noon until about 430 pm, then went down toward Ramcat. I didn't have the same kind of luck as you, but did get to test my spent-wing hexagenia spinner on a couple risers. Both fell for the tie. One got off after a very short fight. The other was not as fortunate. He got hooked in the lower gill and lost a pint or two. Sorry little fella.

Social Media Optimization: 13 Rules of SMO
Heres a summary of what theyve put together to date:-
1. Increase your link ability: Think blogs, content, aggregation & linkbait.
2. Make tagging and bookmarking easy: Include calls to action for users to tag, bookmark and Digg your stuff. Id suggest the Sociable Plugin if you have a WordPress powered blog.
3. Reward inbound links: List blogs which link back to you via permalinks, trackbacks or recently linking blogs (like the Yahoo & Google blogs do).
4. Help your content travel: Content diversification can lead to mobility of your content beyond the browser.
5. Encourage the mashup: Let others use your content or tools to produce something a bit different or outside of the box with your stuff, even RSS.
6. Be a User Resource, even if it doesnt help you: Add value and outbound links, even if it doesnt help in the short term, it will in the long.
7. Reward helpful and valuable users: Give your contributors and readers the recognition they deserve.
8. Participate: Get in there and get involved in the discussions going on among the blogs and sites of others, and do it organically. Earn your rep on Digg.com, dont try and force it.
9. Know how to target your audience: Understand your appeal and those people you wish to attract.
10. Create content: A little bit of rules 1 & 4 here, but the underlying message is know the form of content working for you.
11. Be real: Transparency pays off and no one likes a fake.
And mine:
12. Dont forget your roots, be humble: Sometimes it can be easy to get carried away being a BlogStar or industry talking head. Remember those who helped you along the way, and that respect will help all involved.
13. Dont be afraid to try new things, stay fresh: Social Media is changing and morphing by the minute, keep up on new tools, products and challenges in your social sphere.
Re: Social Media Optimization: 13 Rules of SMO
1. Increase your link ability: Think blogs, content, aggregation & linkbait.
I think this is the most important. Also the list i think is ordered in a very good way from most important to less (but also important)
Re: Social Media Optimization: 13 Rules of SMO

Two papers published online in advance in Science this week point to the potential of lentiviral hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy for debilitating inherited conditions.
The first chronicles researchers' use of a lentiviral vector encoding a functional version of the gene encoding WASP, a cytoskeleton-regulating protein implicated in the inherited immunodeficiency Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. San Raffaele Scientific Institute's Luigi Naldini, M.D., Ph.D., and his colleagues applied such a vector to genetically correct hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HPSCs) from three Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome patients, which they then reinfused.
"All three patients showed stable engraftment of WASP-expressing cells and improvements in platelet counts, immune functions, and clinical score," Dr. Naldini et al. report. They add vector integration analyses indicated that gene-corrected HSPCs resulted in highly polyclonal and multilineage hematopoiesis. Importantly, the researchers note that "lentiviral gene therapy did not induce selection of integrations near oncogenes," and that they did not observe aberrant clonal expansion 20 to 32 months post-therapy.
"Although extended clinical observation is required to establish long-term safety, lentiviral gene therapy represents a promising treatment for WAS [Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome]," the researchers conclude.
In a separate study, Dr. Naldini and his colleagues took a similar approach to transfer a functional arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene into hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from three presymptomatic patients who showed genetic, biochemical, and neurophysiological evidence of late infantile metachromatic leukodystrophy, an inherited lysosomal storage disease.
The researchers found that the patients showed extensive and stable ARSA gene replacement after reinfusion of the gene-corrected HSCs. As with the first study, vector integration analyses showed no evidence of aberrant clonal behavior, Dr. Naldini et al. report.
"Notably, the disease did not manifest or progress in the three patients seven to 21 months beyond the predicted age of symptom onset," the researchers write. "These findings indicate that extensive genetic engineering of human hematopoiesis can be achieved with lentiviral vectors and that this approach may offer therapeutic benefit for MLD [metachromatic leukodystrophy] patients."
"Lentiviral hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy in patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome" and "Lentiviral hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy benefits metachromatic leukodystrophy" appeared online in Science July 11.

Business Grants Queensland (QLD)
Qld Small business owners can apply for a loan or grant
QLD state government business loans and grants programs are in place to help you start up or increase operating possibilities. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to apply for funding currently in place to provide extra assistance to the growing demands and needs of small business owners within the state.
As government grants offer small business money that is free, we are often asked what the difference is between new business grants and loans programs to those offered to established business owners.
Existing, new or start-Up businesses have lending options available to them through Australian federal and QLD government offices, with both options giving you help during the early stages of business development or for ongoing assistance needed as you grow.
QLD government small business funding offers great incentives
Small business funds offered in Qld can range from a little to a lot depending on the grants and/or loan programs you choose to apply for. Both options are designed to help you improve operations, remain competitive, or increase your exposure.
The difference between the two is that grants are normally capped at a maximum $500,000 and although non repayable, if you need more money than this then you will more than likely need to apply for a loan as well to top up the balance of the funding needed.
So the difference is one you won't have to repay and other you will, but with very little interest as small business government loans can offer funding anywhere up to $1 Million.
government business funding has strict closing deadlines
