BioCorneum, the #1 silicone scar gel treatment.
DrLinDirect.com is the #1 doctor endorsed retailer of skincare products inclusive of scar gels. Dr. Michael Lin has video reviewed over 1,400 products on youtube, inclusive of BioCorneum.
BioCorneum helps to flatten, soften, and smooth scars
BioCorneum Gel is a patented silicone-based product that also contains sunscreen. Silicone is the only ingredient that is medically proven to work on scars. It has been shown to flatten, soften, smooth, and reduce discoloration of scars. It also will relieve the associated itch, pain, and discomfort of scars.
BioCorneum protective barrier - Breathable, Flexible, and waterproof.
Once applied, bioCorneum's patented silicone gel dries within 5 minutes forming an invisible silicone sheet over your affected area. This protective barrier is breathable, flexible, and waterproof. This allows your outer layer of dead skin cells to bind with the protective barrier and safely guard the underlying tissue against chemical, microbial, and physical invasion from the scar.
Use BioCorneum 2x Daily for 12 Weeks
Once your sutures are removed, start applying a thin layer of BioCorneum twice daily for twelve weeks. If your skin has a tendency to form raised, red scars or keloids, you may want to conitnue to use BioCorneum for six months to a year.
How should BioCorneum be used?
- Listed below are the steps to properly use BioCorneum to increase its effectiveness.
- Ensure the affected area is clean and dry
- Apply BioCorneum to the area in a very thin layer and allow to dry completely. Approximatley 4 to 5 minutes.
- Once dry, BioCorneum can be covered with cosmetics or compression garments
- Stick to the twice daily treatment schedule consistently every day, making sure that BioCorneum is in contact with your scar 24 hours a day.
BioCorneum is a Physician Only Product and can Only be ordered by emailing us at email@example.com

Helloo! Finally, finally got to visit the aquarium. Was feeling pretty excited about it cos finally we had something different on our weekends other than eating, eating and more eating. There was a long queue that winds round and round prior to entering but thankfully it moves very fast. I wouldn't say the place is humongous but 3 hours is enough. Then again, I think all of us were so fascinated by all the fishes (yeah like kids I know). Alrights, this is gonna be a lengthy post with lots of pictures. Ready?
Cute tickets. Can't wait for the USS trip next month!😀
This is one scary octopus
Fishes following the manta ray. A sight to behold
A picture of the kids😉
There are alot more fishes than what is shown here. I think this aquarium is worth a visit, but a revisit will probably bore you out already. haha unless, you love the sea so much.
S.E.A Aquarium
8 Sentosa Gateway
Sentosa Island S(098269)
Head over to Two Chefs for dinner before ending the night at Partyworld for the birthday boys. This was my first visit to Two Chefs and erms, I know it's famous for their butter pork ribs but after the whole dinner was done, can I just say that it wasn't spectacular? Maybe we should have just stuck to the plan of heading to still road black pepper crabs. haha okay anyways, here's dinner.
This was the crowd at 6.30pm. ohmygosh.
Salted egg yolk crabs
Well, I tasted better. So this was just meh
Sambal kangkong
This was very bad
Golden mushroom beancurd
Pretty normal
Herbal chicken soup
The only saving grace. Soup was sweet & good, chicken was tender. Can order.
Butter pork ribs
I can't figure whats so outstanding about this dish that makes people rave about it. It looks like fried pork ribs that was sprinkled with milk powder, no?
So final thoughts? Well, unless you are in the area.. if not seriously don't bother. There are better ze char places elsewhere.
Two Chefs Eating Place
Blk 116, Commonwealth Crescent
So ktv up next! One of the times we actually had an after-dinner plan. haha and also to celebrate the 2 boys' birthdays🙂
Love this bunch of peeps🙂

I would say let -rc2 be the flag for putting things for the next (2.6.28) release
into -next. That would give akpm time to get his load in as well.
Between -rc1 and -rc2, he could look at -next to see what patches were
picked up by maintainers and what he'll still have to send in himself.
But it's not me doing the work :-)
Keep up the good work Stephen/AKPM.

In this volume Grollman, a well known investigator in the field of the adrenal glands, has given a complete account of the development of the knowledge of these interesting and important glands: the brilliant researches that led to the identification of their two hormones and the final synthesis of epinephrine and the no less brilliant but so far futile endeavors to discover the real functions in the body economy of these two potent substances.
After a brief historical résumé the subject matter is presented in four parts: (1) anatomic considerations, (2) the medulla, (3) the cortex and (4) clinical considerations.
Part 1 gives a full statement of the gross and microscopic anatomic features of the glands themselves and the accessory adrenal tissues and derives especial interest from the author's discussion of his ideas regarding the "androgenic" tissue, the clinical implications of which he considers again in part 4.

Patients Treated at 5-Star Hospitals are 63% Less Likely to Experience Complications
Northampton, Mass. (October 18, 2011) – A report released today by HealthGrades, the nation's most trusted, independent source of physician information and hospital quality ratings, named Cooley Dickinson Hospital #1 in Massachusetts for Joint Replacement outcomes (joint replacement includes knee and hip replacements). Choosing a hospital can be a life or death decision. HealthGrades report found that patients treated at 5-star rated hospitals experience a 73% lower risk of mortality and a 63% lower risk of complications compared to 1-star rated hospitals. A quality comparison of doctors and hospitals in the Springfield, Massachusetts, area can be found online at HealthGrades.com [topcities.healthgrades.com/ratings/springfield-ma].
Earlier this year, Cooley Dickinson was also recognized by HealthGrades for being in the top 5% in the nation for patient safety. Cooley is the only hospital in the greater Springfield region to have achieved the award for 3 consecutive years.
"Achieving the best outcomes in Massachusetts for Joint Replacement is the culmination of the steps our doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and staff have taken ever since our dedicated Joint Replacement Center opened to ensure that our patients gain the improved quality of life and other benefits that joint replacement bring," said Craig Melin, president/CEO of Cooley Dickinson. "While we're pleased as a hospital to be recognized, the ultimate beneficiary of our quality efforts is our patients."
"Patients today have a wide array options when it comes to choosing a healthcare provider," said Kerry Hicks, HealthGrades chief executive officer. "At HealthGrades, we are proud to have led the way for empowering patient choice based on objective clinical outcomes and access to actionable quality measures. We commend Cooley Dickinson Hospital for its superior quality and support of consumerism and transparency in the Springfield area."
Cooley Dickinson was also recognized for the following clinical achievements:
· Five-Star Rated for Treatment of Heart Attack for 8 Years in a Row (2005-2012)
· Five-Star Rated for Joint Replacement in 2012
· Five-Star Rated for Total Knee Replacement in 2012
· Five-Star Rated for Total Hip Replacement for 2 Years in a Row (2011-2012)
· Five-Star Rated for Appendectomy in 2012
· Ranked Among the Top 10 in MA for Gynecologic Surgery in 2011
· Five-Star Rated for Gynecologic Surgery in 2011
Key findings of the HealthGrades 2011 Healthcare Consumerism and Hospital Quality in America report include:
· Patients had, on average a 73% lower risk of dying in a 5-star rated hospital compared to a 1-star rated hospital, and a 54% lower risk of dying in a 5-star rated hospital compared to the national average.
· Patients had, on average, were 63% less likely to experience inhospital complications than patients at 1-star programs, and had a 43% lower chance of developing an inhospital complication than the national average.
· If all Medicare patients from 2008 through 2010 had been treated at 5-star hospitals, 240,040 lives could have potentially been saved.
· If all Medicare patients from 2008 through 2010 had gone to 5-star hospitals for their procedure, 164,472 inhospital complications could have potentially been avoided.

It isn't the most significant issue to be handled this year by the New Jersey Legislature, but it is almost certainly one of the most compelling stories.
As we celebrate Independence Day weekend it's appropriate to keep in my mind those who have fought for freedom, especially the people who made the ultimate sacrifice.
I'll say up front that the late U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Bill Cahir was a former co-worker and friend, so standard measures of objectivity do not apply here. That hardly serves as an apology, because there is no reason to be sorry about this story – except for the ending.
Cahir was a hard-charging journalist who saw his craft as a way to make a difference. Such reporters are typically the best. Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, they say. Cahir – pronounced care -- was all of that and more. Righteous causes mattered to him.
He worked his way through some earn-your-stripes writing jobs before landing a spot as a D.C. correspondent for a media company that owned this newspaper and others in Easton, Pa., and elsewhere. He covered many issues in our nation's capital that mattered most to people in those regions. The Delaware River dredging project, deepening the waterway's main shipping thoroughfare, was one of the many important South Jersey issues tracked by Cahir.
He knew your federal legislators and helped keep them on their toes.
Like a lot of us, Cahir was deeply moved by the horror that was Sept. 11, 2001.
Unlike almost all of us, Cahir did something about it. At age 34, closing in on the magic number of 35 that ended a person's eligibility for signing up for armed services, Cahir mulled what had been a consideration for him since graduating from Penn State University. After much thought, discussion and contemplation, he did it. He signed on to be a U.S. Marine and got his middle-aged body ready for boot camp.
He made it through the physical and emotional challenge of Parris Island and fulfilled his dream. He made two tours in Iraq, taking leave from his newspaper job to do both. His skills were perfect for civil affairs, helping towns rebuild the war-torn country. Bill had the unique blend of being very smart and extremely personable. People liked him. Not surprisingly, he was doing what he set out to do.
When he came back after the second stint, Cahir decided he was going to continue a life in public service. He resigned his job at the newspaper and moved home to central Pennsylvania with plans to run for congress. He lost in the Democratic primary, but not for a lack of trying.
He landed another job in the private sector, but was surely not going to be deterred from making a difference in the world. He also married Rene Brown.
I had lost touch with Bill by the summer of 2009. So when I got the horrible call in the middle of August, I was flabbergasted. I did not know he had been deployed for a third tour, this time to Afghanistan. His unit was part of a pre-dawn offensive operation in Helmand Province's Now Zad district. Marines encountered a fierce outburst of gunfire in the Taliban-held town of Dananeh. Bill was shot and killed.
Rene was pregnant with twin girls. Those little girls celebrate their fifth birthday this year.
A small span known as "the toll bridge" connects Easton, Pa., to the New Jersey town of Phillipsburg along Route 22. It's a main thoroughfare between the Lehigh Valley and northwest New Jersey.
The state legislature in New Jersey last month moved along a bill that would rename the bridge after Cahir.
It's a worthwhile tribute.
Enjoy your Independence Day weekend. And remember those who have fought and fallen for your freedom.

With Georgia Tech defensive end Jabari Hunt-Days out of the picture for the 2014 season due to academic ineligibility, the Yellow Jackets will likely look to two players to take his spot at the rush-end position.
Early-enrollee freshman KeShun Freeman impressed during spring practice and was praised more than once by coach Paul Johnson for his playmaking.
"I think KeShun's done well all spring," he said during the spring. "He's played good all spring, in my mind. He stood out to me from the first time we played, just motor and feed and that kind of thing."
Safety Jamal Golden noticed how quickly Freeman picked up the defense and was able to play fast.
"He's just a baller," Golden said. "Just making plays when the ball's around him."
Whitehead is finishing up at Georgia Military College, where he has spent the past year after leaving N.C. State. Whitehead, you may remember, was the No. 25 defensive end (according to Rivals) in the 2012 signing class out of M.L. King High in Lithonia.
Whitehead remains on track to graduate from GMC. He'll have to earn his associates degree before he can transfer to Tech. Whitehead had to accelerate his schedule in order to graduate at the end of summer and be eligible to transfer in time to play in the fall.
"He does have an overfull load, frankly," GMC coach Bert Williams said. "So far, he has made the progress he's needed to do. He's just got a lot of work. He's pressing pretty hard."
According to the school's website, classes for the summer term end Aug. 5 and grades are turned in Aug. 7. Assuming he would need to wait until that point before he could enroll at Tech and begin practicing, he would join Tech's preseason practices about a week after they began. The team opened the preseason Aug. 1 last season.

One hundred-twenty miles off the coast of Greece is the island of Santorini, an island that's left over remains from a volcanic explosion around 1640 B.C. There are three indigenous white grapes grown here – Assyrtiko, Athiri and Aidani.
I was super excited to try these two whites from Santorini and after checking them out, can easily recommend that you should check out some Greek wines – they can be exceptionally great.
2011 Thalassitis Santorini White Dry Wine – W.E.P. Rating: 100%
- Alcohol: 13.0 % vol.
- Acidity: 6.84 g/lt
- pH: 2.92
- Res. Sugar: 1.9 g/lt
- Price: $25
Nose: Some real earthiness to this wine – a but of what I'm going to call "mushroom funk" going on here. But behind that "dirtiness" are some nice components of white peach, honey-dipped hazelnut, braeburn apple, petrol and dry river bed.
Taste: A very "fleshy" white wine – it has what I commonly refer to as "wine grip-tape" across the mid palate in that there's some really nice acidity and fruit but it's almost as if this one has a bit of tannin as well – it's a mind-bender and I kind of dig that. On the backside of the palate I'm getting some nice biscuit action coming through. The finish is a nice culmination of minerality, petrol, fruit and fresh-baked bread.
2009 Artemis Karamogos Nykteri Fiche – W.E.P. Rating: 180%
Technical Data:
- Alcohol: 14%
- Res. Sugars: 2.1
- Total acidity: 6.32
- Price: $19
On the nose: Meyer lemons, bosc pear, golden delicious apple, white peach, star fruit, papaya and a hint of banana.
On the palate: An incredibly complex white wine that has the mouthfeel of some reds I've had. The onslaught of citrus, tropical and stone fruit is amazing – easily one of the best white wines I've had in the past couple of years. It has that "old-world-style-funk", which I adore, along with sublime fruit – the finish lingers for days.

Former Cisco Exec McCool Lands at Firetide
It was a bit of a mystery in April when John McCool–for years one of the most prominent people at Cisco Systems–left the company suddenly without explanation. We now have an answer: Firetide.
The Silicon Valley company on Monday is announcing that McCool has become president and chief executive, charged with building a broader audience for its wireless networking technology.
Firetide has been around since 2003, one of a number of startups formed when the notion of municipal Wi-Fi networks was beginning to spread. But providing wireless Internet access to local residents failed to turn into a goldmine.
"All of those companies may have been too early," McCool says.
But other uses for Firetide's technology, known as wireless mesh networking, did take off, he says. It has proven particularly popular for passing around video signals, for applications such as managing networks of video surveillance cameras for companies and government agencies.
Firetide says it now has 10,000 customers in 40 countries around the world, some as far from its Los Gatos, Calif., headquarters as the Thailand Royal Irrigation Department. During the 2013 NCAA Final Four basketball tournaments, a Firetide network was used to manage security cameras and for traffic management, the company says.
Firetide's technology, which McCool says has been refined to minimize delays known as "latency," is also being deployed in buses and high speed trains. "We do 100 megabits per second at 60 miles an hour," he says.
McCool spent 17 years at Cisco, with jobs that include heading its big business of selling switching hardware. Most recently, he was senior vice president and chief technology officer for Cisco's enterprise networks and "borderless networks" group, accounting for an estimated one-third of Cisco's $46 billion sales in fiscal 2012. He had previously led product development teams at the network-equipment company SynOptics, the computer maker NeXT founded by Steve Jobs and chip maker Advanced Micro Devices.
Among the attractions of Firetide, McCool says, is the chance to expand its sales more broadly to other parts of the world. Another is the opportunity to connect many varieties of industrial and business equipment, a vision sometimes known as "the Internet of things."
That market, and the technical standards associated with it, have not been firmly set yet–a bit like the early days of corporate networking before the dominance of Ethernet was assured and cabling technologies were not well defined, McCool says.
"It feels like that to me," he says. "It's a little bit of the Wild West."
Was it tough to leave Cisco? Yes, McCool says, noting that the company grew from about 8,000 employees to 64,000 during his tenure.
"There's definitely a part of me I leave there," he says. "It was a great ride."

Hobby Lobby has awarded a new recipient with the Northfield, Mass., campus founded by Christian evangelist D.L. Moody.
The arts and crafts retail chain said it made an "irrevocable donation" to the National Christian Foundation, a nonprofit charity based in Georgia.
NCF is the largest Christian grant-making organization in the United States The nonprofit sent $590 million to more than 10,000 charities around the world in 2012 alone. The foundation will continue the work of finding a long-term owner for the campus to honor the legacy of Moody.
"We're thrilled with the opportunity to further preserve the heritage of the Northfield campus and to serve Hobby Lobby with their charitable giving objectives," Steve Chapman, NCF vice president of communications, said.
Hobby Lobby has donated other properties to NCF in the past. Company leaders believe the nonprofit will diligently care for the property like Hobby Lobby has over the past three years.
"We have great faith and confidence in the National Christian Foundation and their ability to be responsible stewards of this campus, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for this historic property and wonderful community," Jerry Pattengale, executive director of the Green Scholars Initiative, said.
Hobby Lobby originally gave the property to Grand Canyon University, a Christian school based in Arizona. Grand Canyon later backed out of the deal, citing unexpected expenses and conflicts with Northfield city leaders.
The Northfield Mount Hermon school was made up of two campuses until 2004 -- Northfield and Mount Hermon. Its board of trustees decided to consolidate the school on the Mount Hermon campus, where it operates today. The board sold the Northfield campus to Hobby Lobby in 2009.
Meanwhile, Hobby Lobby continues its fight against the Obamacare contraception mandate in court. The company's conservative Christian owners, the Green family, say they have to remain true to their faith by not providing abortion-inducing drugs.
Their attorney said Hobby Lobby won't provide the morning-after and week-after pills in its employee insurance plan. The health care mandate took effect Jan. 1, 2013.
Hobby Lobby risks fines of more than $1 million a day for ignoring the Obamacare mandate.

Nice resort. Very laid back. I highly recommend renting a bungalow.

This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
This was our first trip to Kauai (my first trip to Hawaii, my husband had been to Maui) and we loved every minute! We booked through Costco Travel, which included a deluxe ocean view suite for 7 nights, a rental car, daily breakfast, and a luau. The beach and hotel grounds were gorgeous, with a lagoon-style pool and bar called Lavas. The waiter will come to you whether you are at the pool or on the beach, and we were able to order food and drinks. They also came around with complimentary water bottles, frozen yogurt, etc. The hotel staff was very friendly and very helpful, recommending great locations on where to shop and eat. Everyone was always saying "mahalo!" ;)
Our room had an awesome view and was pretty huge, with a bedroom, living area, and a nice bathroom. The bed was king sized and very comfortable!

No doubt that the Sheraton at Kauai is situated at one of the most beatifull spots I have seen, but unfortunately they are blinded them self by the beauty, so they forget to provide what they are supposed to do - deliver service. 2 days in a row they missed to provide our room with sufficient towels even though that we the first day called and ask for extra towels. In addition they where late cleaning our room, so the second day we returned to our room around 5.30 PM and they stilled missed to clean our room, we decided to call the reception and complain. They apologized and offered that they could send the maid right away, I refused since we needed to stay at the room at that time. Leason 1. Sheraton about service. Listen to your customers. It would have been the easiest thing to say, that you they would offer a drink or whatever in the bar, while they were cleaning my room. By doing so, my concern about not having a place to stay, when they were cleaning my room, what have been solved and in addition to that I would probably have felt, that Sheraton took my complaint seriously, but they did not. The only thing they did was "we are sorry". Thought about how the management would look like, if I told them that the day that I checked out - "I'm so sorry but I can only afford to pay 80 % of my bill, I'm really, really sorry, so are we settled now, now that you have my deepest sympathy and that I'm so sorry once again" I guess not. Despite the maid problems that they obviously has on this hotel, you might wonder how many ways can a bill for 2 times breakfast look like - the answeer or I might say the Sheraton would be 3. 3 days in a row i manged to pay 3 different amounts for 2 times breakfast. The order was the exact same, but they managed to fu.. up the bill providing me with 3 different amounts, so I guess that they can't calculate. I know it was only some dollars between the 3 amounts, but anyway have you ever tried to buy 2 bottle of milk at Wallmart for 3 secutive days, and had to pay different amount every time - I guess not. So second lesson for Sheraton would be - ask for the same amount for the same service from the same customer.
And the last part that might be somehow out of context, but it was pretty annoying to be confronted by labour unions every day at the front gate with a big sign reading "Shame on you Sheraton". The story was that Sheraton apperantly had used a contractor from Texas to renovating the hotel instead of using local labour force. I'm not much for unions, but I support my local society even though that it sometimes cost a little bit extra. So to sum up Sheraton don't care about their customers or the local society, they only care about money which is ok, as long as you state it at the frontdesk, so I would have known to whom I'm doing business with. As the famous Gekko once said "Greed is good and now it is legal".

June 2011 as my husband and I were vacationing in the beautiful island of St. Maartens - a group of people happened to be talkling about Hawaii. They were fro the Mid-West and we are from California. Like my husband and myself, they love to travel and they suggested that if we ever make it Kauai - we have to make it a point to check it out Poipu beach. When we got back to the States, we found out that my husband's best friend is planning a wedding in Oahu, Hawaii on May 2012. I couldn't put our itinerary fast enough so that we can make spend a few nights in Kauai before or after the wedding in Oahu.
Needless to stay, our stay at the Sheraton in Poipu is priceless. On our very first night, we witnessed what I consider to be one of the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen.
I love this place and I cannot wait to go back .. my husband already knows .. we are indeed going back!

Historical Traveler Reviews Sheraton Kauai Resort Poipu
Not clean and an uncomfortable night's sleep
The location is great, but the hotel isn't. First, it isn't clean. The open hallways are carpeted and when it rains, the rain soaks the carpeting and everything becomes quite filthy. Also, the bed was entirely uncomfortable. I will not stay here again.
Loved it!
We stayed 5 nights at this hotel in mid July 2003. Very nice location, great staff, adequate rooms. what bowled me over was the free parking, free internet and free local calls-all distinctly unusual for a resort, much less in Hawaii. Spotless condition, highly recommended.
Beautiful location
Stayed at the Sheraton in July 2003 with husband and two teens. The right on the beach location is the best in Poipu. The grounds are beautiful, the pool is beautiful and right on the beach. The Beach at the Sheraton is good for boogie boarding, and surfing with Poipu Beach park in walking distance which offers calm waters and marvelous snorkling with schools of colorful fish. The Sheraton resort is so pretty you are tempted to have a tropical drink and lounge with a book all day! But the whole island is beautiful and the Sheraton is in a convenient locale for sight seeing and with restaurants and shopping nearby. The atmosphere is relaxed and service excellent. The breakfast buffet was great!
Great service, bad food
How was it? We originally booked a stay from 5/22-5/28, 2003.We enjoyed it so much that we extended it to 6/1...more on that later. Theservice is top notch, smiles everywhere. Want extra towels? Housekeepingshows up almost right after you hang up the phone. First off, certainlysign up as a Starwood member; you get a free upgrade to the next betterroom based on availability...well, atleast for corporate SPG members. Webooked the cheapest garden room available and was immediately upgraded to apartial ocean view. I had read some reviews saying that bathrooms overflowand insects are frequent guests roaming your rooms. Well, we didn't see thebugs, but our toilet certainly did overflow on our 2nd morning there. Wedidn't have time to deal with it as we had to participate in a tour. Theyhad a fan drying the bathroom carpet when we came back late in theafternoon. We certainly weren't happy; but the hotel immediately upgradedus to an ocean view room....no hassles. And when we did decide to extendour stay, they gave us the same ocean view room at the cheapie garden rate.The ocean views were going for $325 on Orbitz...we got it for $254, alltaxes included. If you a klutz for the ocean, these rooms are highlyrecommended. As for the food, if you have any decent taste bugs at all, doNOT eat at the Sheraton restaurants. I've read alot about the Friday nightseafood buffet...but if you have been to any semi-decent Las Vegas or Renobuffet, this one is definitely a big disappointment....especially at $36 apop...great views though. Try the restaurants at the nearby Poipu shoppingarea (I highly recommend Roy's and semi recommend Keoki's). Overall, theSheraton definitely won us over with the rooms and service...yes we had abad with the toilet, but they "fixed" that. The food wasdisappointing, but we generally found the food in Kauai to bedisappointing. Kauai is an island that you go to enjoy the island, but ifyou need a place to kickback, I definitely do recommand theSheraton
Staff at Sheraton in kauai was superb, especially at Shell's
I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. It was great. The room was lovely with a lot of nice touches, such as complimentary water, tea, and coffee in the room. I especizally loved the staff. I really enjoyed the restaurants. I especially loved Shell's. I had crab legs there one night and went back the next night because they were so good. They were all out and I voiced my disappointment. John went over to the next restaurant and was able to order me some from them. They were great. Obviously, this is great customer service with employees eager to serve. Kudos to John and staff--very friendly and customer orientated. More hotels should be like this. I would caution, however, about the surf--very rought--although the beach setting is ideal--very tropical and Hawaiian like. A wonderful time.
Amazing location
We only stayed three nights at this hotel, but what a memorable time it was. The ocean here is just amazing to watch, and the beach is fantastic. As we were to be married during our stay at the hotel we had treated ourselves to an oceanfront deluxe room, however when we arrived it wasn't ready for occupation. We need not have worried, we were immediately upgraded to a Luxury Oceanfront (larger, and on the ground floor with a huge terrace approx. 50' from the ocean), in addition we were given enough vouchers to cover the cost of the breakfast buffet in shells restaurant for our entire stay, and may I say what a fabulous buffet it was. The service was superb, the hotel was luxurious, and we had the most amazing wedding, all organized by the hotel, no need for me to lift a finger other than to buy my dress and turn up. We are already planning to return on our 10th anniversary.
Remember to book ocean wing
I stayed there in mid March 2003. Hotel is in a very beautiful beach. But remeber to book in Ocean Wing, which I didn't. I stayed in Garden Wing, room was old and service was poor. No pool service in garden wing and need to walk accros the street to the other part of hotel. Sunset was great, pool/beach is nice. Breakfast buffet was nice, but be prepare to wait in line.
OK for the money
My wife and I just returned from Kauai where we spent six nights at the Sheraton on Poipu Beach. We love Kauai, but the hotel was just average. Actually we were more happy with the hotel until we went down the street to the Hyatt for dinner -- now THAT is a hotel! As for the Sheraton we had an ocean front room which was much better than the garden views accross the street. We saw those and they were very old and dated. Our room was nice except we had to keep killing cockroaches. My wife was totally freaked out by this. We told them about the problem after killing three. They sprayed and then we found two more over the next two nights. When I complained they gave me a $50 credit on the room -- that comes to $10 per cockroach. The breakfast was included with our room and it was the same every morning, which we got sick of by the end. Also, the lines were long if you came after 7:30. The beach there is terrific, but you don't need to stay at the hotel to come to the beach -- they are public. The pool was fair. Overall, we had a nice trip, but I would stay somewhere else next time.
Relaxing Hotel
We stayed at the Sheraton Kauai on the south side of the island and at a different hotel on the north side of the island during late February. The Sheraton had much warmer weather, more sun and less rain. The room was basic but very clean with a balcony looking over the goldfish ponds and a pool area. The beach was very nice but a little crowded. It was fun to watch the kids try to surf on the little waves on the one side of the beach. It seemed that the hotel had surf and boogie boards available and there were a couple of guides teaching and encouraging the kids. I think the adults had as much fun watching them from the beach. My husband and I especially liked that the bellman checked us into the hotel, as well as bringing up the bags. We didnt stand in line at a reception desk at all to check in. The hotel room had a $20 per day fee but that includes: an impressive buffet breakfast for 2, free Mai-Tais and entertainment (live Hawaiian music and hula dancers) for an hour each evening, free internet, arts and crafts, local & 800 phone calls, self-parking fees & other amenities. It was quiet, relaxing and a good hotel for families and couples. The food was expensive, $12 for a hamburger with chips but you can ask for fries for $2 more. The bar had a great view of the ocean and entertainment the night we stayed there (2 talented people singing a variety of music).
Beautiful place
We just returned from Kaui and loved our stay at the Sheraton. Our balconey was about 75' from the surf crashing on the rocks (lighted at night); the grounds were immaculate; the staff professional and friendly; the beach was uncrowded and clean; the pools were good; the location fine. My only criticism of this hotel was the price of the food and drinks, but i suppose if you want to spend time at a luxury hotel you must expect that. Hamburgers were $12; a mixed drink was $7.50; the breakfast buffet (which was outstanding ) was $18 ea.; and an outstanding steak dinner for 2 (which included a total of 2 drinks, 1 glass of wine, 1 dessert, 1 coffee, and tip) cost $125. If you go, try walking up behind the Garden Wing and find the Plantation restaraunt; it's a separately owned business and serves great food. Overall, I would say the Sheraton Kauia is one of the best hotels we've stayed at (although I must admit we usually stay at 3-star places and this was definitely much nicer)

Day 1
Our flight left at 8am EST. We were so excited we didn't sleep the whole way there! Our first flight was awesome - we had a 2 seat row with no one behind us, and TV's with GPS on the backs of the seats in front of us. A previous passenger wrote on the seat in front of me "flight too long!" Boy was he right! We had an 4 hour layover at LAX. We …
Koloa - Kauai Island
Sun 31 July
We traveled to Kauai - it took about 35 mins in the plane. The hotel and pools are nice. We are next to the beach. I've told mum i only like 4 or 5 star hotels! We unpacked and then went straight to the pool. There are nice cabanas around the pool which even have televisions in them. The pool is open all night!

Arrival Day
... necessary after all.
We headed back to Kapa'a after dinner. Things get really dark in Kauai after the sun goes down and we missed our turn. Almost immediately we came upon a sobriety check-point. We wanted to u-turn but we had to go through the check-point first. Nick and I joked about how strange this was at 8:30pm on a Wednesday. We finally got to turn around and head back to our room.The bed was comfortable and the linens were nice. Sleep came soon ...

QB for Mac - a worthy investmentI have been working in a Mac world since 2008 and running Parallels so that I could use Quick Books (Windows).

Can't do business without it...I've been a business owner for nearly 20 years and one of my most valuable tools has always been QuickBooks. My business is about creativity...not accounting. QuickBooks takes the worry out of performing the necessary financial tasks so we can concentrate on doing what we do best. As a result, it helps ensure we're fair to our clients, internally efficient, and profitable on projects big and small.

Just keeps getting better.The additional features and enhancements in QuickBooks Mac just keep getting better and better. QuickBooks Mac 2014 has added, to name a few, the new "income tracker", the ability to search from within reports, the ability to import general journal entries, print general journal, check voucher and bill stubs, convert estimates to PO's and runs in 64bit. More than worth the upgrade price.

Easy to use, reminds me of the PC version!I've been using QB for a long time. Started on the PC. When the Mac version came out years ago it was not up to par. 2014 version is awesome. Easy to use. Great support. Smooth operations. I used to run a PC just to run my Qb files, no longer is that necessary.

A Jersey City elementary school student reported to school officials on Tuesday that a man in a white van had followed her, according to Jersey City public schools spokeswoman Dr. Maryann Dickar.
Dickar said yesterday that she did not know where and when the School 15 student said she had been followed by the van.
A letter sent to parents by the district and obtained by The Jersey Journal stated the incident occured Tuesday afternoon.
The district has received no reports of any strangers trying to speak to, lure or grab a Jersey City public school student, Dickar said.
On Wednesday, the district first notified all school principals of the incident, she said. At around 3 p.m. that day, the school sent out letters notifying parents of the incident, following that up with phone calls at around 6:30 p.m., Dickar added.
Dickar said that there have been other sightings of a "suspicious-looking van" in the vicinity of other Jersey City public schools but noted that she did not know how credible those sightings were. She said the Jersey City Police Department is investigating the incident.
A white van was sighted Wednesday near School 25, but when security guards approached it, the van sped off, according to a parent whose children attend the Infinity Institute in Jersey City.
When contacted yesterday, the Jersey City Police Department did not immediately provide information regarding the incident.

Even though the Minnesota Vikings' record is much improved over last season, that doesn't mean every member of the coaching staff's job is secure. With their 36-22 win over the Rams on Sunday, the Vikings improved to 8-6 on the season and currently hold the sixth seed in the NFC playoff picture. Still, the NFL is all about what is happening now, and patience is not a virtue exhibited by many fans.
Surprisingly, the Vikings website lists 23 coaches listed on their staff. That's enough to have a coach for every single position on offense and defense, with an extra coach for the holder on field goals.
Excluding the strength and conditioning coach and his two assistants, the five positional-assistant coaches and the assistant to the head coach, that brings the number down to 13.
Perhaps the old adage that too many cooks spoil the broth could be in play with the Vikings. Especially if everyone is not on the same page.
Here's a look at how secure each of these coaches' jobs are as they close out the 2012 season.

Sunday Pasta ® Recipe: Pasta al Forno (Baked Ziti)
Pasta al forno, or baked pasta (ziti in this case), is a triple comfort food. First, although almost any type of pasta can be used, the very thought of "baked ziti" is sure to bring back warm memories from years ago, when it was a staple at school functions and family gatherings. And then, there is the physical comfort that comes when you taste the hot, oozing mixture of cheese and sauce, especially on a cold day. And finally, there is the heart-felt praise you receive for serving it. My own kids sprang from their chairs to hug me when they tasted it. So this winter, go for an Italian comfort food trifecta. You'll be thrice warmed. Though I do offer one word of caution: Although I am certain about the nostalgic impact and the delicious recipe, whether you actually earn the hugs will depend on your own culinary skills and personality. Unfortunately, these things are beyond my control.
Start to prepare the sauce:
Chop the onion and fry it in the olive oil until golden brown. Puree the tomatoes and add to onion. Add the basil, salt, and pepper. Cook on low heat, uncovered for 1 hour until reduced.
While the sauce is cooking, prepare the Ricotta mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, eggs, parsley, Parmigiano, salt and pepper. Cut the mozzarella into pieces and mix in 3/4 of it into the ricotta mixture.
Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 1/2 of the packages' recommended time (it will continue to cook in the oven). Drain the pasta and add it to the ricotta mixture. Mix in 1/2 of tomato sauce. Coat the bottom of an oven proof bake pan (9 x 12) with a spoonful of sauce. Add the pasta mixture to the bake pan. Cover with the remaining mozzarella, a sprinkle of Parmigiano and a few spoonfuls of the tomato sauce. Bake uncovered at 350 for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately with a spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of Parmigiano.
Check out our wine pairings for Pasta al Forno and our About post that gives a brief history of the dish.
Buon Appetito!

After the anticipation of making the drive down Magnolia Lane and the excitement and stress of playing in the Masters comes the inevitable: disappointment.
There is only one winner; this year, it's Bubba Watson. Most of the others in the field walk away with serious disappointment, especially those who were in the hunt on Sunday afternoon.
Disappointment can be a great motivator, or it can lead to a tailspin, even with the great players.
Here's a list of some disappointed players from Sunday and some suggestions as to how they can bounce back quickly.

This made me think… a lot.
I feel the same about Solar System, TSoY, Fate etc. But I think the main reason for the different long-term experience compared to D&D/clones is not really the lack of leveling up and related changes in the system. Case in point: I suspect most groups keep returning to play in a specific same range of class levels. According to their tastes. For example I prefer the lowest levels where every goblin matters and some PCs really use short swords, slings or other less-than perfect equipment.
Classic D&D-ish systems are designed from the bottom-up: you have some mechanics for low-level effects (like striking, skill attempts, knowledge checks). It is left to the players to sort out how those effect interact with each other or with the game world. This approach automatically leads to a myriad of possible permutations. Whats more, because classic systems come with huge lists of elements (equipment, skills, spells, monsters, artifacts…) or are easily extended with DIY elements, they also project different possible play flavors to the players. Its not just that fighting the Mummy Contraption in the Marshes of Yuck is very different from any fight you are likely to have experienced before: You know that the GM will introduce new elements with new, possibly weird properties if you go after the Mummy Contraption in the Marshes of Yuck. And those elements will matter mechanically, very much so. That is practically a new game lurking there in the yuck.
Compare that to games like Solar System or Fate which have a top-down design: Here is a generic way of handling everything. Now you can do anything, but mechanically it will feel the same. This is OK, because the events are supposed to mean something different every time. The change in flavor comes from the change of meaning of what your PC is doing. That is great for grand, dramatic play. You have to constantly shake up the PC and her immediate surroundings to make every other conflict really meaningful. Over a sustained period of play, I think this will get tiring. Are you excited to fight the Mummy Contraption in the Marshes of Yuck? You know that mechanically, you've probably seen it all so there will be nothing new from that department. What motivates you to really to do it in the end is the meaning of the quest. It is important to your PC (do you have a "best interest" or a "belief" or does it hit a "key" or is you PC motivated by design as in Dogs in the Vinyard and My Life With Master?) or it is important to the game world or maybe you are compelled to act by the system itself (You are supposed to get more XP or you need that loot)?
This is not a simple dichotomy. Some game elements in D&D are not very interesting mechanically (like weapons) and a top-down system can have mechanics that produce interesting variations. Fate has skills, but they all use the same mechanics. And of course, you could mix top-down and bottom-up design, to try to have the best of both worlds. I think Burning Wheel might be an example with its beliefs and Artha on the one – top-down – hand, and its life paths and lists of skills and spells on the other.
– lior 2012-05-22 15:38 UTC
I agree. The only importance of "changes over time" is that this introduces yet another element to complicate the game mechanics. I also agree that there is a sliding scale between abstract, unified, dissociated mechanics on one side and the detailed, additive, quirky, diy mess of rules on the other side.
All I can say is that the games that have tried to have the best of both worlds didn't do it for me—but I'm not sure this is due to their position on this slide. Role-playing games are themselves a multi-factored experience depending on other people at the table, setting, adventure, character, yourself, and many other things. Compared to that, the handful of sessions I have played offer no insight.
You already mentioned Burning Wheel with it's complex life path character generation and it's many detailed rules for various elements (fighting, talking, shooting, sorcery, miracles, artha, the sheer number of skills) and a very simple core dice mechanic. Rolemaster, Harp and Merp are similar games with long lists of things (equipment, skills, spells, classes) and a very simple core dice mechanic.
I guess in the end this just means that it's a small, nameless element of game design that I can use to describe why my next campaign is not going to use the Solar System rpg rules; I might also use it to argue why my next campaign is not going to use Fate; I think I can't use it to predict whether I will like a new set of rules…
– AlexSchroeder 2012-05-22 16:31 UTC
Awesome, insightful thoughts. I am still trying to pull my thoughts about why I don't want to do Solar System as originally planned, but it seems you two nailed it pretty well so far.
That said, tastes change over time, so my verdict is anything but final (but probably valid for a couple years).

The act of fucking a girl doggy style then right before ejaculating the man pulls out and spits on the girls back as he ejaculates into his hand. The girl then thinks that he is finished and turns her head around. As this happens the man takes his ejaculation in his hand and puts it on her head as he says, "Send out your Warg riders". Just as Saruman did in Lord of the Rings.
"I took my cum and gave that bitch the White Hand of Saruman last night."
"Did you tell her to send out the Warg riders?"
"Hell yeah."

Kiwanis, Redmond partner to raise park funds
Kiwanis Club of Redmond has established a trust account at Bank of the Cascades for contributions to the Sam Johnson Park improvement project on which it is partnering with the City of Redmond.
Kiwanis established the park in the late 1980s on land donated to the city by the Sam Johnson family. Irrigation, landscaping and playground equipment were completed in various phases, culminated by the picnic pavilion in 1996.
Today the playground facilities are some of the oldest in the city's park system and need upgrading. Accessibility is another issue.
The phase one playground renovation will cost about $450,000, and other improvements to the park will bring the price tag to $1 million, according to Heather Richards, community development director for the city.
The city has budgeted $90,000 in the current budget. Other contributions include $25,000 from the Kiwanis Club of Redmond, $25,000 from St. Charles Health Systems, $25,000 from Bank of the Cascades, $7,500 from the S.S. Johnson Foundation and $1,000 from the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Kiwanis and the city will apply for grants for additional funding.
Businesses, organizations or individuals wishing to contribute to the project can make tax deductible checks payable to the Redmond Kiwanis Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 organization, at P.O. Box 253, Redmond, Oregon 97756.

We have the largest, most affordable, reliable door-to-door, scheduled hotel, exclusive van and town car service in the Puget Sound – from Everett to Tacoma, and Seattle through Bellevue, Redmond to Issaquah. With availability 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we are always available to meet your transportation needs! We are industry leaders in safety, customer service, and technology, which allows you to get to the airport without worries. If you've used our service before, you know of our great people and great service. If you haven't used us before, see for yourself – You'll love our service!
But I hate those door-to-door shuttle services. We figured we'd probably just find nearby airport parking and take a short-range shuttle into the terminal. The official Sea-Tac Parking and Transportation page states:
We encourage you to drive in groups or take advantage of shuttles, buses, public transit and taxis whenever possible. And it's always a good idea to check on the flow of traffic around Puget Sound before getting on the road. In addition, our automated parking payment system helps you get out of the airport more quickly.
Oh, wow… here's a great resource: Airport Parking Reservations… Works for me!

Two buildings lost natural gas service after a car struck a gas main at 67th Street and
Troost Avenue on Monday morning.
A woman lost control of her vehicle at about 8:30 a.m. and hit a gas main.
The driver was not hurt, but the damaged main has cut gas service to two buildings.
The buildings are without heat, but will remain open.
The cause of the investigation remains under investigation.
67th street is back open.
Women driving the car that crashed into the gas line- not hurt- no word yet on why she lost control.
There are 2 medical buildings in the area without gas right now- but they're not closing for the day since it's not too cold.

Plattsburgh State has just upgraded its Physics teaching laboratories with the renovation of Hudson Hall. New, state of the art Introductory Physics Laboratory equipment coupled with all new networked computers allows Physics, Physics Education and Pre-Engineering majors to better grasp the concepts which will be the building blocks of their careers.
At left, Mr. Ty Kretser prepares for an Introductory Physics lab in the newly rennovated Hudson Hall.
An Advanced Physics Laboratory in Beaumont Hall serves the needs of students in Intermediate Laboratory, Electronics, and Robotics courses, while a dedicated Optics Laboratory serves as both a lab for course work and research.
At left, Dr. Mike Walters and friends. The 3D printer in the Advanced Lab allows students to design and create parts for the Robotics course.
A new research laboratory in Hudson Hall. along with a larger research lab in Beaumont allow students to to part in research activites under the guidance of faculty.
Without a doubt the best Planetarium among all of the SUNY comprehensive colleges. Courses taught in the Planetarium better prepare you for your career as a teacher, or can be taken just for the joy of Astronomy as can only be taught in a high quality Planetarium.

Event: Dakar: Managing the Regional Risks of Climate Extremes and Disasters – Learning from the IPCC Special Report [viewed]
This event is part of a series of briefings that will seek to publicize the findings of the IPCC Special Report SREX to policy makers, practitioners and private sector audiences. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) prepared a Special Report titled "Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters for Advancing Climate Change Adaptation" (SREX), and launched the report's Summary for Policy Makers on 18 November 2011, with the full report released in hard copy in March 2012. To follow up on this report, the IPCC, the Overseas Development Institute, Norway's Climate and Pollution Agency, Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network are working with local counterparts to support a programme of regional outreach events. This event in Dakar, Senegal, is invitation only. Speakers will include IPCC authors and invited guests from the West African region.

MPhil in Conservation Leadership
Scholarship support
Conservation Leadership Scholarships
Two scholarship programmes have been generously established to support students from less developed and developing countries that are rich in biodiversity, to attend the MPhil in Conservation Leadership. The Miriam Rothschild Scholarship Programme in Conservation Leadership is generously supported by Arcadia. Additional scholarships are available as a result of support from another donor.
The number and size of the scholarships varies from full scholarships, to partial scholarships that cover specific aspects of the funding package required by students. Offers of scholarships will be made competitively based on: academic quality and the motivation and potential of candidates to become conservation leaders.
Applying for these scholarships involves a two-stage process. First, applicants should, if they have not already done so, make a formal application to the Graduate Admissions Office for a place on the course. See our Applications page for details of how to do so.
Second, scholarship applicants should write a financial case explaining the funds that they have available, and any funds that they still require to ensure they can take up a place on the course. This financial case should update any information given in the original application to the Graduate Admissions Office. The financial case should not exceed 200 words. Financial cases should then be e-mailed to the Programme Administrator, Lisa Harris (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please note that to be considered for these scholarships, applicants must (i) provide evidence of their current English language status (e.g. an IELTS test result) by the end of March, and (ii) meet the English Language requirement by the end of July in the year they wish to begin the course.
Other sources of funding
Applicants are encouraged to seek diverse sources of funding to maximise their chances of success. Many applicants will be eligible to apply for scholarship support from the Cambridge Trusts and/or the Gates Cambridge Scholarships. Applications for these schemes are made as part of the Graduate Admissions process. The deadline to be considered for these scholarships is usually in early December of each year.
Applicants may be eligible to apply for sources of funding within their home country, such as the British Government Chevening Scholarships.
