The Stone of Destiny
by Rev. Bertrand L. Comparet, A.B., J.D.
Bertrand L. Comparet was a native Californian, born in San Diego. He was graduated from Stanford University with the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor. He was admitted to the California Supreme Court or California Bar in 1926 and by the United States Supreme Court in 1956. From 1926 to 1932 he was a Deputy District Attorney in San Diego County and from 1942 to 1947 was Deputy City Attorney for the City of San Diego. Since that time he has been in private law practice. Pastor Bertrand L. Comparet started teaching in 1933 and continued for over 40 years. He returned to the Father in August of 1983. If you do an Internet search on "Bertrand Comparet" you will find many of his sermons."
In the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey in London is an oblong block of sandstone, upon which all of England's kings have been crowned for several centuries--and before that, the kings of Scotland, and before them the kings of Ireland. This is another bit of evidence of the identity of the Anglo-Saxon people as the Israel of the Bible, and that the House of David still rules over them.
The history of this stone begins in the 28th chapter of Genesis, where we read that Jacob camped overnight in a field, and for his pillow used a stone with his folded cloak over it. During the night, God appeared to him in a vision, and promised to give him the Land of Canaan. When Jacob awoke, he said, "this is the house of God," and named the place Beth-el, meaning "House of God." Then he took the stone he had used as his pillow and set it up as a monument, and dedicated it with an offering of oil. He promised that, if God would help him, "then shall the Lord be my God: and this stone which I have set for a monument shall be God's house."
In Genesis 34, God instructs him to go back to Bethel and set up an altar to God, which Jacob did. It was at this time that God changed Jacob's name to Israel; and Israel again set up and dedicated as a monument of witness the stone pillar which he had dedicated as "God's house." Its sacred character was now firmly established.
We next find mention of it in Genesis 49, when the aged Israel, before he dies, tells his 12 sons what will befall their respective descendants in the last days. Speaking of Joseph, he says, "From thence is the shepherd of the Stone of Israel." We should, therefore, expect to find the Stone in custody of the sons of Joseph in the last days. The English are the Tribe of Ephraim, descended from one of Joseph's sons. Its sacred character having been established, the stone would not be thereafter abandoned.
We next hear of it when the Children of Israel, in their exodus from Egypt, were facing death by thirst in the desert. God instructed Moses, "I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink"; thus they were saved from death. This miracle was repeated later, but this time Moses was instructed merely to speak to the rock, not strike it; because Moses disobeyed God and hit the rock in a "grandstand play" before the people, he was not allowed to enter the Promised Land. We must not think that this rock was merely the native rock cliffs of these desert places, for in 1 Corinthians 10: 1-4, Paul says "all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea ... and did all drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock THAT FOLLOWED THEM, and that Rock was Christ. " That is, they were given water to drink from a rock which was carried along with them; and as Israel had said, "this stone which I have set up for a monument shall be God's house," so Christ hallowed it with His presence.
After Joshua had conquered the Promised Land and divided it among the 12 Tribes, he reminded them that they must ever be loyal to God, and he set up a stone as a monument of witness to this warning; the Hebrew says he took "the stone of greatness" --and what would that be, or what more fitting witness could there be, but the stone which was "God's house"?
Before God ever allowed Israel to have a king, the rebel Abimelech had himself crowned king beside this pillar or monument (Judges 9: 6). Later, when the lawful monarchy was established in the House of David, we find it was the custom that the king be crowned standing by the "pillar" or monument, for we read in 2 Kings 11: 12-14, "And he brought forth the king's son and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and annointed him; and they clapped their hands and said, God save the king. And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the Temple of the Lord. And when she looked, behold, the king stood hy a pillar, as the manner was and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced. "
The Stone had become a sacred relic, a witness of the mutual promises of God and of the Children of Israel. It would be found close to the Temple and the throne. Upon the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar, 2 Maccabees 2: 4-8 says that ancient records stated that Jeremiah had taken the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle and had hidden them in a cave on Mount Nebo.
While 1 Samuel 4-5 records the capture of the Ark by the Philistines, and its return, there is no mention of it being taken by the Babylonians, so the ancient record of the Ark being hidden must be correct. Along with the Ark, we may be sure that Jeremiah would also safely hide the sacred Witness Stone, "God's house," which had twice been used to give water to the people to save them from death, and which was now used in the coronation of the kings.
When I spoke to you on "What Jeremiah Planted," I told you how Jeremiah and the daughters of the last King of Judah, Zedekiah, were taken to Egypt with the refugees; but in order to fulfill God's prophecy that Jeremiah was also "to build and to plant," Jeremiah had to leave Egypt and take the princess to where another Israelite kingdom was then in existence--in Ireland. We know that with Jeremiah went Baruch, his scribe, and the king's daughter; and with the princess, he would also certainly take the hidden Stone upon which the kings were crowned.
The ancient Irish records record the coming of "the Great Prophet," "Brugh" his scribe (obviously Baruch), and the daughter of a king, about 583 B.C., which would be the correct date; and that with them they brought the "Wonderful Stone," or "Stone of Destiny." In one of our congregations is a woman whose family genealogy shows that one of their ancestors came to Ireland with Jeremiah, and that this ancestor's duty was that of custodian of the Stonel Tea Tephi, the king's daughter, married Eochaidh the Heremon, or Chief King, of Ireland.
The stone, called "Lia Fail" or "Stone of Destiny" was kept at the capital city of Tara for some three centuries, and all the kings, descendants of Eochaidh and Tea Tephi, were crowned on it. Then, about 350 B.C., it was sent to Scotland for the coronation of Fergus, King of Scots, who was a descendant of the Milesian kings of Ireland. It remained in Scotland, and all Scottish kings were crowned on it, until 1297 A.D. when King Edward I of England invaded Scotland and captured the Stone, which he took to England, where it was placed in Westminster Abbey, its home ever since that date. It was built into the Coronation Chair--the oldest piece of furniture in England still serving its original purpose--and all English kings have been crowned on it ever since.
Its origin was well known during the entire time it has been in the British Isles, and from practically the first it was called "Jacob's Stone. " William of Rislanger, writing in the 13th century, records the coronation of John de Baliol as King of Scotland in the year 1292 "upon the stone upon which Jacob placed his head. "
While the ten-tribed nation of Israel had to "abide many days without a king" as God prophesied in Hosea 3: 4, yet there must always be a royal family of David's line on the throne over some Israelite people, for God promised through Jeremiah (33: 17) that "David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne of the House of Israel."
We know that Eochaidh the Heremon was of the Milesian line of Kings of Ireland, and that the Milesians in Ireland were descendants of Zarah, a son of Judah; and that Tea Tephi was a descendant of David, who was also of the Royal Tribe of Judah through Judah's son, Pharez. So the two royal lines of Judah were united with the marriage of Eochaidh and Tea Tephi, and a descendant of David was always on the throne over Israelite people, as God had promised.
The Ark of the Covenant belonged in the Temple; and the Temple was not to be a continuous institution like the Throne of David; so it is not surprising that the Ark has disappeared from history, and probably will not be revealed again until Jesus Christ returns to reign upon the Throne of David, as is prophesied in Isaiah 9: 7.
But the Throne was to be a continuous throne (Jeremiah 33: 17); therefore, it is only logical that the Coronation Stone, which the Hebrews had called "The Stone of Majesty" and "The Pillar of Witness," should be found where the Throne of David had its continued existence. After all, it was "The Pillar of Witness" for it had been made witness to both Israel's promise to be God's People and God's promise to be their God. It should be there, as a witness that God always makes good His promises, and "David shall never lack a man to sit upon the Throne of the House of Israel."
Subsequent to the time when Dr. Comparet delivered the foregoing address, Mr. E. Raymond Capt, author of "The Glory of the Stars," "Great Pyramid Decoded," and other writings, stated that new evidence, recently discovered, indicates that the transfer of the throne of David from Palestine to Europe may have been accomplished in a different manner than what is commonly believed.
According to the older tradition, the daughters of Zedekiah were Tamar Tephi (known to her family and friends as Tea Tephi or Tea), and her younger sister, Scota; and this Tamar Tephi, or Tea, was married to Eochaidh in Ireland. The new evidence mentioned by Mr. Capt is discussed on pages 6465 of his book, "King Solomon's Temple," in which he quotes Ezekiel 17. 22, which says: "Thus saith the Lord God; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent." Mr. Capt then says: "This was fulfilled when Scota, King Zedekiah's daughter (the tender twig), was taken to Egypt by Jeremiah and then to Spain where she married 'ane Greyk callit Gathelus, son of Cecrops of Athens, King of Argives' (The Chronicles of Scotland by Hector Boece). In due time a son was born and was named 'Eochaidh' (Eremhon or King).
"There is a tradition that when Jeremiah brought Scota to Spain, he also brought the 'stone' upon which Jacob laid his head, at Bethel, when he had the vision of a ladder extending to heaven (Gen. 28: 12-19). This -was the 'stone' used as a Coronation Stone in Solomon's Temple. Second Kings 11: 11-14 tells of the anointing of a king, after which all the men around the king 'clapped their hands' and said, 'God save the King' while 'the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the kin ."
'From the 'Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters,' we find the following statement: 'Tea, the daughter of Loghaldh, son of Ith, whom Eremhon married in Spain was the Tea who requested of Eremhon a choice hill as her dower, in whatever place she should select it, that she might be interred therein. The hill she selected was Druimcaein, i.e. Teamhair (in Ireland)' (Vol. 1, pg. 31).
"This is only one of many historical records that place, not only Tea in Ireland, but her husband Eochaidh, 'the Heremon' (chief or King). At this same time there appeared, with Eochaidh (brought by Dedannans and set up at Tara as the inauguration stone of Irish Kings - Encyclopedia Britannica 14th ed.) a stone of red sandstone, a type found in Palestine. It had iron rings fastened at each end which could have been used for porter poles. The stone became known by the name 'Lia Fail' and 'Stone of Destiny.' It is not unlikely that Jacob's Stone and the 'Stone of Destiny' were one and the same. " By whatever course the throne of David may have been carried to Europe, it is nevertheless a fact that it was eventually transferred to Ireland, then Scotland, and then England.
It's now back in Scotland where it belongs.
You're correct...do you know anything else about it?
There are many websites with histories of the Stone of Scone, which is much more tangled then this article makes out. Here's one:
Also note that the current occupant of the English throne is a woman, as have been several of her predecessors.
...for God promised through Jeremiah (33: 17) that "David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne of the House of Israel."
Stone Of Destiny
Follow the link in post #7 and you'll see that it is, at the least, very old mystical nonsense. Due in part to the tin mines of Britain there was more commerce between it and the Mediterranean lands then you might imagine.
Another fine story is that Jesus Christ traveled to Britain before he took up his recorded ministry in Israel. William Blake referenced that legend in a poem complaining about the ugly factories springing up at the beginning of the industrial age. (For reasons I have never understood it became the school hymn of my high school in Colorado).
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
However, a Middle Eastern or Meditteranean racial element in the British Isles and extensive pre-Roman conntact between the two regions do not prove that the "Stone of Destiny" had anything to do with King David. Nor does it prove that the Celtic and Germanic peoples that have inhabited the British Isles for 1,500 to 2,500 years have substantial genetic or other ties to Israel or other parts of the Middle East. Most DNA measurements of the English people indicate that they are very genetically similar to the current inhabitants of northwest Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark, the areas from which the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes migrated from in the 5th and 6th Centuries AD. There are also considerable genetic similarities between the English and the three Celtic nations that occupy the remainder of the British Isles. There are also similarities to the Norwegians, the Belgians, and the northern French. On the other hand, there are far greater genetic differences between the English and either the Jews (whether Ashkenazic or Sephardic) or other Middle Eastern peoples. There are, OTOH, strong genetic similarities between the Jews and the Palestinians, Syrians, and the northern Iraqis, notably Kurds and Assyrians, as strong as those among the northwest Europeans. In other words, DNA measurement comport with mainstream history and not Anglo-Israelite theories. The linguistic patterns also support the mainstream histoic theory of strong ties among most European nations and considerable differences between them and the inhabitants of the Middle East, ancient or modern.
Anglo-Israelism, that is, the theory that the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel somehow became the Germanic and Celtic peoples of northwest Europe, is of relatively recent origin, no older than the 18th Century. There is no Biblical support for this theory. Rather, mainstream Christian theology holds that the European peoples are decended from Japheth, while the Semitic peoples are descended from Shem. Indeed, even the "Ten Lost Tribes" theory is really but a figment. The Babylonian captivity broke up the tribal governments of the Israel of the judges and kings. However, there is evidence in the Epistles of Paul that people who were members of the ten tribes still identified with those tribes in the 1st Century AD. Although medieval kings and nobility attempted to embellish their heritage by claiming ties to King David (an ancestor of Jesus Christ), there is no more evidence for this than for the assertions of the Roman or Aztec emperors or Greek kings that they were descended from gods.
The weight of the evidence is on the side of the mainstream historians and theologians in this matter.
We used to have a FReeper named "LostTribe" (he was banned)who thought that the Northern Tribes that were hauled off by the Assyrians later appeared in Europe as the Celts and/or the Tribe Of Dan. ...And, there are some ancient folks in Ireland named the Tuatha De Danann and they were told to put their name 'DN' on everything. Danmark, Danube, Scandanavia, and many, many other names in Europe. Thoughts?
Yes, please.
Name patterns only support a theory when backed up by other evidence. That Eastern New England place names have a high number of names in common with East Anglia, or the Shenandoah Valley with Northern Ireland, is significant only when we weigh other evidence, such as ship's logs, folk practices, family Bibles, etc., that indicate that the early settlers of New England mostly came from East Anglia and that a large number of the settlers of the Shenandoah Valley came from Northern Ireland.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this ping list.
Good point...don't know .
First, not all Middle Easterners are Semitic. The ancient Persians spoke an Indo-European language and there is considerable evidence that indicates that at least the Persian aristocracy was generally European in appearance, as were the Aryan invaders of India. Even to this day, some high caste Indians, especially in that nation's north, could pass for Europeans. One of Paul's epistles was to the Galatians, a nation in what is now Turkey that was Celtic in origin. (FWIW, Kemel Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, had reddish blond hair and blue eyes.)
Second, the Middle Eastern genetic marker found in Europeans declines as you go from the continent's southeast (Bulgaria and Greece) to its northwest. The British Isles are in the extreme northwest of Europe, and thus would have the lowest frequency of this marker. This would not support Anglo-Israel suppositions about the origins of the Celtic and Germanic peoples.
Everything that we are came from somewhere, huh? Dan's name is really getting around. Someone brought all those 'Dan's' with them from somewhere, huh?
However, I have been doing a little research this morning and there is some reason to believe that this is a myth that the English used to demonize the Irish, since the Spanish were considered enemies for so many years.
I also found out that there are people who are called the "Black Dutch" who are believed to have descended from Sephardic Jews who fled to Holland during the Inquisition.
Interestingly, Celts in France also show the same two types...darker-haired "black" types as well as the red-haired, green-eyed variety.
This does not contribute greatly to the origin of the Stone of Scone, but does indicate that using physical characteristics is not really proof of anything.
Has anyone ever taken a small sample of the stone to see where the rock originated? I would imagine that a piece of sandstone could be traced back to its country of origin, given the geological records that are now on computer.
Yup, that seems so simple. My guess is that it has been done already and someone did not like the result...that's why we don't know that result, huh?
Maybe, I've read in a couple different places that the term 'black Irish' was used prior to that time. I've even read one guy who thinks that the term relates to a tribe of 'Bushmen' who were in Ireland in prehistory. The same guy speculates that these same folks were the source of the myth of Leprechauns...and, the Bushmen do have some traits and habits that are similar to the myths of the Leprechauns. Who knows?
Ryan & Pittman, in their book Noah's Flood (Salt water flooding of the fresh water Black Sea in 5600BC) , speculate that the regugees from this flood streamed up the river valleys feeding the Black Sea and spilled over and into Europe bring farming and the Indo-European language with them. I've taken the thought a bit further and speculate that these same refugees were the Aryan invaders of India and also the source of the 4,000 year old Caucasian mummies (up the Silk Road) found in the deserts of China.
Victor Mair, in his book The Tarim Mummies, has determined that the China mummies spoke the Indo-European language Tocharian A&B, an extinct language. The mummies wore tartan clothing associated with the Celts.
One of my posessions from my father is a book about the Arbroath Abbey (1178 AD)in Arboath Scotland. (He was born there) Much of the Declaration of Arbroath,(1320 AD) BTW, the basis for the US Declaration of Independance)
In 1957 the Stone was stolen (returned if your'e a Scot) from England to Scotland and missing for a number of months. I remember people asking my father where he thought the Stone might be. He responded each time he did not think he knew, He knew where it was. (But would not say)It was buried where it belonged; in the East end of the Abbey where the alter once was. And that's where they ultimately found it. Had the Brits known thier history they would have started looking there.
In this book, is a picture of the ruins of the Abbey; one of which shows the 'East end'. Handwritten near the pic is a note by the Administrator of the time (1960) noting with an X the exact location where it was eventually found, and the date. Not the date found, the date "received".
Of course, knowing untimately the Stone would be returned - you don't think the Scots would be dumb enough to let the real Stone be found and taken back. Many believe the Stome of Destinay never left Scotland from the 1957 date on. What WAS returned (legend has it) was a replica stone carved from one serving as a cover of a cesspool. The Scots in the know took great joy in knowing future coranations took place with Bristish royalty using the eqaivelent of a toilet seat, in their ceremony.
I'm not very religious so, a lot of the bibical things are unknown to me. My main interests are anthropology/archaeology but, they do cross paths with the religious from time to time.
There is likewise no reason to assume the occurrence of "Dan" or a variant thereof in various places in Europe is evidence of a connection with Israel or another area of the Middle East.
The "Black Irish" and the brunet populations in Britain cannot be explained by an event in the 16th Century that had minimal effect on the Irish gene pool and none on the British. Travellers from the Meditteranean in prehistoric, ancient, and medieval times and pre-Celtic and pre-Germanic inhabitants of the British Isles are more likely the reason for the dark appearance of a few English, some Scots and Irish, and many Welsh.
Yeah, I recognize that I'm not making a good argument and no proof, I think a person schooled in linguistics would understand a possible connection. In a few years DNA will solve all the riddles
I find this almost unbelieveable.
Presumably the trip from the Middle East to Ireland would have been by sea...Maersk Lines or such, ahem.

Jöns Jacob Berzelius was a Swedish chemist who first used symbols to name elements and use the word isomer in his work on chemical atomic weights. Isomers have the same molecular formula, but different structural formulas. There are two kinds of isomers—structural isomers and stereoisomers (spatial isomers). [Note: Be careful not to confuse isomers with isotopes (i.e., element properties, not molecules.)] (More about nuclear chemistry and isotopes in Chap. 14.)
Isomers have the same molecular formulas, but different three-dimensional structures.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mountainside Lodge - A Shell Vacations Resort Whistler
Everyone else is wrong...
My fiancee and I quite frankly loved this hotel! We had the one bedroom deluxe suite and it was amazing. 2 televisions, full kitchen, dining table, queen bed (with sheets that were NOT like the so called "paper" sheets others have complained about."
We had kind of a lame view, BUT the price was well worth it. Jetted large tub in our bedroom. much bigger than everyone else complains about. I thought it was amazing. I guess everyone stayed in a small room with no ac, or kitchen, or what have you. In which case there is always the old addage "You get what you pay for."
Awesome Stay
We just stayed at the Mountainside Lodge last week and to be honest was a little worried about it based on the comments on this site. We were pleasently surprised that most of the reviews were wrong. You could not have asked for better service. Everyone was so friendly and polite to the point that we would try to walk through the lobby without someone speaking to us but failed everytime. We did have a chat with the Concierge about the timeshare thing but told her that is was not for us and she left us alone the rest of the stay. Our room was a Loft and it worked out great. It had full kitchen and two bathrooms, it even had a sauna. The rooms were clean and we had lots of space for us both. The hotel is so close to the lifts that you could almost through a snowball and hit them if it were not for the other buildings. We took the shuttle bus service from the airport and did not have to pay for parking. Our room faced the street and it was a bit noisy some mornings with cars and trucks but maybe a higher floor might have helped with this. We can't wait to come back again and everyone told us that the summer is fun in Whistler too but you can't beat the boarding there.
Great hotel/Great Powder
My son and I stayed in an amazing loft on the 5th floor overlooking the pool. I must say the personal pictures posted on this site definately do the hotel and resort justice. The hotel staff were always nice and helpful, especially when we needed directions, etc... You can actually see the ski runs from the hot tub - highly recommended to sit in after a long day on the hill.
Find someplace else!
We have been to Whistler several times and enjoy trying different hotels. We have always found the hotel virtual tours to be very accurate, except for this time.
We stayed in the loft suite which online appeared extremely more spacious than it actually was. The loft was very hot & stuffy. We were told the room came with a sauna however it was so small barely one person could fit in it and it was so old that no one wanted to even enter it.
We had originally been told that they don't have internet access in the rooms but they do have wireless access in the lobby. When we got there however we were told that they really don't have wireless internet access in the lobby but that sometimes (if you are lucky) you can piggy back off of a wireless signal in the area. We were not able to do this.
There is only one elevator for everyone (guests & hotel staff) and it is extremely old and very slow. We ended up using the stairs.
The lobby is small and the staff is very very cold, with the exception of the individual who is trying to get you to attend one of those horrid timeshare presentations.
We salvaged our trip by moving after one night and getting a refund for the other nights we had planned to stay there.
We moved to the Pan Pacific and stayed in a one bedroom suite for the exact same price that Mountainside Lodge was charging us ($299/night).
Never Again
When we first arrived we were pleased with the accomadations, that soon changed. However, as other posters mentioned- the staff was rude and unknowledgeable and the 'concierge' was pushy about attending the timeshare presentation to anyone that walked by her desk We stayed in the studio which was small, but we expected as much. The kitchen had everything we needed, utensils, dishes etc... but the refrigerator was way too loud and when you are sleeping less than 10 feet from it- that ends up being a big deal! The bathroom was not very clean and the hot water took forever to warm up. The worst part was the bed- it was hard as a rock with linens that were so cheap they felt, and sounded like, paper ever time you moved. The windows have no insullation so you hear everything all night long. The first night we actually got up because we thought we accidently left a windo open, only to discover that they were closed but sound leaked thru the poor sealant. It was very difficult to sleep escpecially since it faces a main drive. Be prepared to fall asleep late after eveyone walks back to their own hotels and be prepared to wake up at the first shuttle that drives along the road- you hear EVERYTHING!! We went on a bad weekend- a 3 day weekend for US colleges- so the hotel was filled with college kids that, as discusting as it sounds, were so drink they were running around the halls and throwing up in trashcans. Upon checkout the hotel manager was extremely rude to my husband (we think he may have assumed we were among the college partiers, however we have been out of college for 6 years) and he sent someone to inspect our room before allowing us to leave the hotel. It was very strange. Also- I agree with the previous poster- CHECK YOUR BILL!!! They charged us $15 a day for parking even though they never told us, there are no signs anywhere, and nothing indicated a charge. When I asked to see where I agreed to pay that or how I was notified of the fee, they finally agreed to remove the charge. I will never stay here again.
Stay elsewhere
We received poor service. Our room was dirty when we checked into it, I don't think the housekeepers are very good at this hotel. The only thing worse was the check in and check out experience, where the staff don't seem to know what they are doing. The rate was cheap, this was a good thing. The room itself wasn't bad but it was dirty and it had a bad odor to it. I don't recommend this hotel, I've stayed at several Whistler hotels and this one is not good. Perhaps good with travellers on a budget.
Worst place to stay at in Whistler
A relative of mine is a timeshare owner of this property and she is quite disappointed with how things are changing here, I stayed at Mountainside because of the low price, I've been here before so I know what it was like years ago. The new renovations are great, but the hotel needs to focus on quality. What is so bad is the new staff at the Mountainside Lodge, the front desk staff in particular are either not knowledgeable or are really rude. I spoke briefly to a manager at the front desk and based on this conversation, I can see why the operation is falling apart. Mountainside hires the worst staff in all of Whistler. I've stayed at several places in Whistler and this one has become really bad. There is a new owner to the operation, hopefully they will bring in better staff in the future to replace the present ones. I would not recommend this hotel to travellers that are looking for service and quality. This is a good place for people looking for no service, rude hotel staff, and a low price. The restaurant was good, however, we were shocked when our restaurant waiter said that the hotel staff were rude to everyone, we just chuckled about it. Look elsewhere unless you are on a tight budget. Only go if the price is dirt cheap.
Will not stay here again
Mountainside Lodge has recently been taken over by Shell Vacations property.
I will not stay in a Shells Vacatioin property ever.
Although the rooms were tastefully decorated, the bedroom in the loft was unbearably warm with no windows or air circulation (although the unit had air conditioning, it did not reach up there and was even worse if you took a shower in the adjoining bathroom, which made the room even hotter). We asked for a fan, but they said they did not have any. The unit is alot smaller than it seems on the website photos. The rooms were decent, but the service was horrible. During our 5 day stay, we did not get our room cleaned once (and even found a dirty sock under the pull out sofa and a dirty rag on the closet shelf). We had to ask for new towels and bed linens. Our garbage was not collected once. Front Desk said they never clean the rooms until you leave. I've never heard of this before??? It seems the hotel (Shell Vacations) was more interested in getting you to buy into their timeshare which was a entirely exasperating experience. Of course they do not tell you this when they ask you if you want to attend their promotions meeting for a $100 gift certificate to various restaurants, retail stores and activities. Which wasn't the case. It was only for the hotel restaurant or gondola (nothing else). They do a great sales pitch for the time share, but after two hours, drop the bomb on you about how much it costs. I opted out of it as I did not want to own a share in this hotel where I would never personally return to. When I told them this, they did not apologize and gave excuses, i.e. due to letting go of staff, they are understaffed and remaining staff is disgruntled etc. If you do decide to stay here, be sure to bring your own shampoo as they never replace these. And coffee is only available on the first day of your stay, even though your nightly rate is the same as the first. And the clincher is upon check out, the hotel over charged me for parking by $50! If you decide to stay here, check your bill carefully.
Outstanding value,great location
We stayed over 2005 New Years week. The price was great, the location even better! No, its not a Fairmont or Four Seasons but our room was large with a huge jacuzzi, fireplace, kitchenette and a view of the mountain. The front desk was alway helpful! A great find.
Everything perfect at the Mountainside Lodge
What an unexpected surprise for such reasonably priced accommodation. Everything was just right, from the experienced, helpful staff to the top class restaurant 'Umberto's' on the ground floor !.

Travel Blogs from Whistler
Whistle that
You learn something bizarre every day, like why Whistler is named after a rodent. It all comes down to a bit of crazy logic based on underestimating the intelligence of skiers.
The story goes like this. There's this mountain in Canada called London Mountain. It's becoming popular with skiers, so some bright sparks decide in the 1960 …

... hike. It was called the Trainwrek trail/path, because it followed the train tracks for a bit, and because where you turn around there are the remains of an old train wreck - abandoned carriages strewn about the forest, covered in graffiti, as well as the remains of an old mountain bike tracks. I know it sounds weird, but it was actually pretty cool. The forest again was really beautiful, lots of big green trees, mossy earth and crystal clear rivers. This is the ...

But, you knew that..
iandy, your pastorgoodman40 evil church falsely accused me of having an overworked long d.i.l.d.o.
Even if I had one, it would not be so long and so overworked as pastorgoodman40 and iandy's grandmothers' d.i.l.d.o.s.
Even if I had one, it would be shorter and less overworked than the d.i.l.d.o shared by all the female relatives of the iandy.pork family and the women in the evil pastorgoodman40 church.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Why are iandy=aknb9's grandmothers' holes are not so dry as mine? Because all iandy.charliett's female relatives are examined/treated by Dr. Colon,

At Inwood & Forest, Concern That Proposed Gas Station and Convenience Store Is Lowe's Blow
Once or twice a week for the past couple of months, an e-mail will pop up in the in-box about a proposal to put a gas station and convenience store in the Lowe's parking lot on Inwood Road just off of Forest Lane. It's no small development, either: According to city docs, the complex will eat up 4,000 square feet in the parking lot -- it's big enough to devour more than 100 parking spaces, matter of fact. But looooong story short: Neighbors don't want it.
Or, in the words of council member Ann Margolin, "The neighborhood is clearly very much against it." Which means: She is too, even if city staff isn't.
There are myriad reasons for the opposition, each one spelled out in Thursday's City Plan Commission's agenda, when the home-repair megacenter's application to amend the Planned Development District will go before the commission. Here's how city staff explains it:
Staff has had numerous conversations with adjacent homeowners who have a concern related to the impact of this type of use in close proximity to their homes as well as the private school across Inwood Road. Lastly, concerns over cut-through traffic and potential crime issues weigh on their minds. While not determining it as a set of conditions for the use, staff has made numerous suggestions to the applicant's representative to work with the community in addressing the following; 1) days/hours of operation of the use; 2) sale of beer/wine (must be addressed through private agreement); 3) on-site security during certain hours of operation; and 4) relocation of the dumpster enclosure noted on the development plan. At the time of completion of this material, staff has not received any closure on any of these items.
That private school, of course, is Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas. Nevertheless, city staff's recommending the plan commission approve the application, which Lowe's is filing in order to rent out the space to an outside operator. Which is why, from the looks of my in-box, folks who live in the neighborhood are planning to descend upon City Hall next week. And Margolin says she's "inclined to side with the neighbors," despite the fact there's already a Texaco and C Store at the intersection.
"It's not 100 percent in opposition," says Margolin, who has met with residents for months about this issue. "I've heard from people who don't think it's a big deal. But overall there's great opposition, and they've come up with solid reasons for why this is a bad idea. For one, it would alter the traffic patterns in that area, so that's an issue. And I think it's kind of an eyesore in the neighborhood. They see it as a residential neighborhood and fear it will diminish property values because it has the look of something not consistent with the neighborhood. This is not insignificant."

Six Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina were accepted into the Girl Scout Legislative Page Class of 2013, and spent three days working in the Statehouse and learning how the state's government works.
Alexandra Zimmer of Goose Creek, Tegan Kates of Alcolu, Samantha Lee and Danielle Kriss of Darlington, Janay Crosland of St. Matthews, and Kendra Bethea of Orangeburg received an in-depth look at government in action. They joined six other Girl Scouts from around the state.
South Carolina Girl Scouts in grades 10-12 are eligible to apply for the program. Each applicant is evaluated for leadership skills, community involvement, interest in government and Girl Scout activities by the page program committee.
As pages, the girls assist members of the General Assembly with tasks such as delivering materials and messages within the Statehouse complex, answering phones in the members' offices and working in the House or Senate chambers when the General Assembly is in session.

Skip to comments."...Tennessee looking...more competitive. Santorum still up but Mitt and Newt within about 5-7 pts"
Posted on 03/03/2012 1:49:16 PM PST by BCrago66
Public Policy Polling is polling 3 Republican Primary states with weekend: Tennessee, Georgia, and Ohio. (I know, it's a Democratic firm, but I doubt that bias expresses itself when it's a Republican v. Republican race.) According to the tweets, Newt is not doing great in Ohio, polling at around 15%. However:
1) Newt's moving up to challenge Santorum in Tennessee:
"Surprise of the day- Tennessee looking much more competitive. Santorum still up but Mitt and Newt within about 5-7 pts"
2) PPP confirms Newt's big lead in Georgia, and also finds that Santorum is fading to 3rd place in that State:
"Newt up big in Georgia. Kinda wish we'd polled Oklahoma instead. Romney with a healthy lead for 2nd over Santorum so far"
So this news - plus the latest Gallup national poll which places Newt within 5 of Santorum - appears to confirm the trend of Newt rising, and Santorum fading. Let's do all we can to accelerate this trend, so that Newt, and not Romney, is the ultimate beneficiary.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
I wonder where Newt's votes will go when he drops out...to Santorum or Romney? My bet is they will all go Santorum...this means that Romney is really losing by 10 points in every state if you add those two together.
If Newt drops out, I will not be bothering with the primary in my state.
I will vote against Obama in the election.
Come on Tennessee, be brave and support a strong person to take on the Obama radical regime. This is a time to get our country back, not manage the decay as Newt says.
Romney- 154, of those 36 are non-binding= 118 solid
Santorum- 69, of those 52 are non-binding= 17 solid
Gingrich- 33, of those 3 are non-binding= 30 solid
Paul- 26, of those 18 are non-binding= 8 solid
Romney- 1,749,677
Gingrich- 978,229
Santorum- 932,508
Paul- 463,176
All information found at Real Clear Politics
So willyd, why don't we compare solid delegate counts on Wednesday morning. Or better yet, why don't we compare solid delegate counts on March the 14th. Then we will see who needs to be talking about dropping out.
Encouraging. Newt is the only one running who will make the changes necessary to save our country, period. His record of change when he was Speaker speaks for itself. A visionary. An historian. A President.
Dumbest statement on Free Republic all year. You must be a complete and utter buffoon if you believe that. Romney and Santorum have a ton of difference but you prove that even on Free Republic we have below intelligent people.
I like it how you manage to throw out 85 percent of Santorum's delegates. Slick.
I'm happy to compare actual delegate counts, and that shows Santorum 2:1 over Newt.
It is encouraging. Santorum's co-frontrunner status has taken some hits in the last few weeks since he caught the gaze of Romnney's Eye of Sauron. It looks like Santorum's star is fading, hopefully with enough time for a Newt resurgence. If so, the timing will favor Newt.
This is good news. Rick has been dropping in a number of places and Newt has been on the rise. Even in Ohio Newts numbers have been climbing. So he should get a piece of the pie in that state. GO NEWT GO!
I think that Mitt introduced a toxicity to the Republican primaries, that is spreading and now causing fights among Newt v. Santorum supporters. Not unlike the evil supernatural spirits which caused such acrimony among fellow New Yorkers in the first Ghostbuster movie.
I'll admit that I'm like a lot of Newt supporters in that I am disappointed in Santorum for piling on in some of Romney's attacks on Newt (in contrast to Newt, who showed class and did not do the same when Romney attacked Santorum.) That said, I think both Newt & Santorum supporters should pledge to support the other guy against Romney, because Romney is a nowhere man, with no convictions and little character. Both Newt & Santorum are lifelong conservatives and individuals of solid character.
I will be voting for Newt. :)
Newt is surging. ;-)
I expect he will over take the hemorrhaging Santo by Super Tuesday in Tennessee.
Santorum has a similar journey as Romney when it comes to conservatism.
Santorum changed from pro-abortion to mostly pro-life when he entered politics, his Catholic religion evidently had never affected him.
Santorum changed from running as a "Progressive Conservative" in his campaign literature, and one who wanted the hard core pro-abortion radical Arlen Specter for President, into the Romneylite guy that we see today.
I didn't throw out Santorum's delegates. Nothing slick about it. JUST THE FACTS, as they relate to the Delegate Count right now. Do you need me to explain what a non-binding delegate is and what it means to the candidate?
Now he may end up getting them in the end, but as of right now they are not SOLID in his camp.
From the Missouri Secretary of State- -The February 7th "beauty contest" primary will not count for delegates toward the 2012 GOP convention. The Missouri Republican Party will hold a caucus on March 17th which will determine the delegates sent to the 2012 GOP convention
The delegates in attendance at each caucus alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied.
The delegates in attendance at each County Convention alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied.
Colorado- http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/CO-R#0414
Delegates selected at the Precinct Caucuses may (but are not required to) declare their Presidential Preference.
Wyoming- http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/WY-R#0412
The participants at each County Convention alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor in such choices and, if so, how it is to be applied. All delegates are officially unbound.
Yes, the VAST MAJORITY of so-called "Santorum delegates" are simply unbound delegates that can vote for whomever they choose on the convention floor.
Those are UNBOUND delegates. The state party can instruct them to vote for another candidate...and they can choose to vote for any7 candidate they wish on the convention floor.
You stated we should only consider solid delegates, so yes, you are throwing out 85 percent of his delegates.
It's a bit self-serving, don't you think? The Actual delegate count is much more telling.
Since Feb 8, 2012
It seems from the responses you got, you have yourself stepped in some "slick".
** President Newt Gingrich-"Our beloved republic deserves nothing less."
Do we then have "Sarah" do what she did to Bachmann and declare the obvious and ask him to exit? One can hope.....
Wow, you still don't get it.
The solid delegates ARE THE ACTUAL DELEGATE COUNT right now.
Soft delegates are UNBOUND. They can decide who they want to vote for when they get to the County, District and State Conventions. THEY can decide whether or not to let the presidential preference vote determine who they cast THEIR delegate vote for. They can vote for any of the candidates!
As I said before, Santorum may end up getting all of the soft delegates converted to solid, pledged delegates. But it hasn't happened yet...........
You're not talking about Dede Scozzafava, are you? ;-)
The actual delegate count is the bound + unbound delegates. Those are the delegates that have been earned through the primaries.
I"m aware that WY et al haven't actually awarded them yet, but they are all we have to go on at this point in time to gage the level of support between all the candidates.
The reason they are unbound is to prevent what happened in MI, FL etc - the halving of their state delegates.
Fireworks might be difficult, because its harder for Newt for go on the offensive without a liberal media foil, and because of Huckleberry's sanctimonious "be nice" conditions to all candidates. However, whenever Newt can display his superior command of the issues, it boosts him with the voters. T-67 minutes until the showtime. If no one else posts a thread, I will.
Am I supposed to be happy that Romney is rising?
See ya their.
The good news is only Politico Junkies will follow it with it's odd time.
The even better news is it gets talked about Sunday and more so Monday on Conservative Talk Shows which might benefit the Newtster.

More information on the Huckleberry forum: According to this Politico article, it's already been taped, and Paul didn't participate:
And my guess is that, like the other forums, there's no candidate interaction, so it's really 3 back-to-back interviews. Otherwise, we'd already be hearing leaks of the exchanges between the candidates.
for me it is Newt or noone. I have voted for rinos in the past and refuse to ever do it again..no more caving to the establishment or some watered down republican that takes it for the team

A post so nice, you said it thrice! :-)
That seems to be the case, isn't it?
I won't vote for either RS or MR...for me it is Newt or else.
LOL and sorry:) maybe I can vote for Newt thrice?
Wish we all could do that...
Maybe with the new fundraising FR can get some new servers, because I that's what's casing the problem.
"because I thats whats casing the problem."
Maybe I have to say sorry now for my spelling malfunction :-)
You'd do better wondering where Santorum's votes would go if he dropped out. His numbers look better until you take a real look at them Despite the drop from grace (smears worked) Newt is far more popular (and capable) than Rick. Pushing Rick over Newt now is like hopping up a race horse - he might win this bout, but will likely drop dead.
"A visionary. An historian. A President.".....A communicator. Remember Reagan! Communication is most important.
Hey lady. #8 and #16 onver over the top? BE honest, we will still be TRiends.
Have a great evening...
Rick had a double digit lead in Michigan and lost it within a few days. He had a double digit lead in the polls in Oklahoma, now that lead is fading. His lead in Ohio has all but evaporated and his lead in Tennessee will do the same. Rick's had too many "oops" statements as the Wall Street Journal said. Who cares if a married couple uses the pill or a condom? Who cares that a "Separation of Church and State" speech by JFK 50 years ago makes you want to vomit? Now we know why he lost his Senate seat by the biggest margin ever lost by an incumbent. Hasta la vista Ricky.
I won't vote for either RS or MR...for me it is Newt or else.
Or else what?
or else ..I wont vote for president..only on state issues.
Been there and done that...McCain was the last straw and yes, I voted for the jerk

Remembering Chuck Colson
I have an obit on The Daily Beast focusing on Colson's hugely influential role as a popularizer of "worldview" combat. An excerpt:

The Real Crisis of Christianity
Christianity is in crisis.
Andrew Sullivan seems to think so, and though I side more with Sessions in his response to Sullivan – that is, the answer to a perceived crisis-bound Christianity is not to imagine a completely depoliticized, internal, and individual faith – I'm more concerned with how Sullivan misses just what […]

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Excellent eventIn full: One of the best events in the calendar. Ace scenery, route that is flat but has a few challenges on it, top atmosphere and marshalling, efficient bag storage, organization like clockwork. They even make sure the weather is perfect. Really can't think of any negatives on this one, although if the event expands traffic congestion at the venue and on the dual carriageway outside could become an issue. In short though - top race and top marks to Purple Patch.Date of review: March 25, 2012
In short: Excellent first outing for this raceIn full: It's in Cornwall so there are going to be hills but that said, this is a brutal course. Add a good five minutes to your usual half marathon and be prepared to hurt a bit. Well organized especially for the first outing - start venue is a huge Wetherspoons, plenty of loos, plenty of drinks afterwards. No complaints from me for parking, marshals or organization in general. And great value - a medal, chocolate treats, pasty and a can of Tribute. Well worth turning out for.Date of review: March 18, 2012
In short: Excellent eventIn full: I've done this one several times now and it's as good as ever. The organization is expert, the venue is superb (lovely grounds of a posh private school), ladies doing tea and cakes, secure and fast baggage hall, nice medal, slightly lumpy course but lots of shade - nothing to fault from me.Date of review: August 22, 2010
In short: Excellent event, as alwaysIn full: As always with this event and Purple Patch, a fine day out - scenic course, good start and finish venues, efficient organization, fast baggage service, lots of water stations, cheerful marshals, good for racing snakes and backmarkers alike. Didn't seem to be many portaloos at the start but there were plenty of bushes :-) No complaints and only praise from me.Date of review: July 25, 2010
In short: Another of Dr Rob's evil extravaganzasIn full: Brutal drops and climbs, fantastic views from the top, great atmosphere, cheery marshals with jelly babies, great goody bag, bagpiper on the course, picnic spread at the finish ... a great event in every way and a real challenge. "Only" a half marathon but equivalent in effort to something nearer to 20 miles, I would say. Avoid steps and gradients for a day or so after doing this one. Flawless organization and a great day out. Roll on next year!Date of review: June 20, 2010
In short: Excellent race and remarkable valueIn full: A long-standing race with a good course and great organization. Excellent value too - you get a medal, T-shirt and other trinkets. One of the best races in the area.Date of review: May 9, 2010
In short: A good village-green 10KIn full: A new course this year, with no killer hills but a couple of lengthy leg-sapping gradients which to be honest are compensated for by similar downhill stretches. As always, well organized by Reading Roadrunners with loads of marshals on hand. Well worth the trip.Date of review: May 3, 2010
In short: A really good and friendly raceIn full: This is a fine little event, very well organized, great atmosphere as part of a hospital fundraising fete day, and with a good course that's undulating enough to keep it interesting but without killer gradients. Good facilities at the start venue and a very enjoyable day out. Date of review: April 11, 2010
In short: A nice little eventIn full: This was a nice day out, in a pleasant part of London and on flat trails. Organization was excellent, with plenty of advance communication, efficient chip handout and starting bang on time with phased starts.Date of review: March 27, 2010
In short: Fast and flat but not that interestingIn full: This review is for the SPARKS half marathon not the 10K that has got mixed in below.Dorney Lake is as flat as a pancake and four out and back laps of half of it (other half closed for construction work) were not as tedious as expected but the novelty had worn off after the first two. A decent pb course for many but not me. I prefer variety of incline and surface and found the monotony of pace and hard tarmac tough on the joints and muscles. Although good to be able to see the frontrunners throughout. Well organized I thought, although usual issue of not enough loos. Nice to get a copy of RW included too. Nice medal, and venue easy to get to for non-drivers (Taplow station, 10 mins by bicycle). I probably wouldn't do this one again but if you want a flat-out blast at your pb this could be for you.Date of review: March 14, 2010

Just went for the first time in a week! Wanted to share a victory cheer, lol.
Dried apricots.
I eat one in the morning. That, plus lots of water, and if it's really bad a stool softener at night, and I'm good to go.
Nananana! = ^v^ =
Woohoo for you! lol
The only time I get backed up is when I eat a bagel or some other non-whole grain carbs. Otherwise, plenty of fruits, veggies and water push things along.

thats when you will see heavier volume, they cant dump now and then wait till when they are ready to replace it, you will see the moves coming on the 22nd. Until then there will be positioning for this sort of thing by shorts and longs, Between now and then you will extreme volatility in this stock. I have to believe that the volume today does show some funds and institutions geting in and out of cien today, no doubt funds got out and others got in, all in all i think the stock performed according to expectations. I am long 30000 from yesterday at 6.23 i am underwater a bit but do believe the stock will go higher.
Lucky you!I got 9000 at 6.36
there is nothing near term that wil move this SIGNIFIGANTLY higher after that :1) in line earnings2) tepid forward guidance3) declining margins andGULP4) being ousted from the nasdaq 100that is the worst of all - time to move on, no money to be made near term on this one...
furthermore, any rally attemp will be shot down by these fund manager as they take the oppotunities to unload the stock. not to mention hedge fund will short it down to minimum and pick the money lying down in front of them.

7/10 Mike Staff review, 28 February 2014
There's an awful lot of woozy trip-hoppy synth stuff out there at the moment isn't there? It really seems to be the thing to make right now, this whole post-driftstep, post-house, post-DJ Screw wooze pop aesthetic which has gripped both sides of the pond. This EP here is a collaboration between synth lady Maria Minerva, who I already knew about, and Ajukaja, who I didn't. It is, as you've probably gathered by now, some of this woozy trip-hoppy synth stuff I was talking about.
Very well done it is too, Minerva's silky vocals give it quite an accessible house-pop feel and the beats are bouncy but everything is blurred and indistinct as the melodies snake distractedly around a gloopy house backbone which wobbles and bends with fragile precision. At its most effective it evokes a kind of sleepy but danceable euphoria that reminds me of a lot of 100% Silk releases, although 'All The Heart Breaks' heads into almost Europop levels of cheesiness with its shameless pop synth stabs only barely tempered by the weird muffled vocal snippets and modular-sounding loops.
I'm not totally sure about the Eastern European/oompah feel of closer 'Igav Ja Suva', which even throws in some slide guitar, but while on first impressions it's the first side I'm liking the most I'll give that one the benefit of the doubt for being so bonkers and say this is a well measured and entertainingly weird EP of playful post-everything wooze-pop.

Hello readers; this is a post from Mr. Forty-two Roads. You won't see any wonderful crafting or home-improvements here. Just a short story about the small one.
This Sunday, to give Anna a well-deserved little break, I took Lara to the park. Lara stops just about every 3 feet to explore some new found object; her latest craze is "c'hn," (acorns). She picks up three or four in her chubby little fingers, holds onto them as if they're a prized possession, until she spots a "yock" (rock), which always trumps acorns. Once she sees a rock, she insistently says, "dada, dada," with her hands out, waiting for me to take her acorn collection so she can enjoy her newfound rock. Very cute, but also makes getting to the park a day-long adventure. Thus, we've discovered the sometimes enforced joys of "shis," (shoulders). When offered shoulders, Lara rarely refuses. When she does, she usually waits until her feet are at my face level, and then, realizing she's about to be swept up far from all the wonderful things on the ground, she starts kicking... she can kick quite hard.
When we first started putting Lara on my shoulders, she was much smaller and less steady - so I would hold her up with one arm for safety. Now, she's gotten used to that, and if I try to lower my arms (you know, to let the blood circulate), she cranks and whines and yanks at my sleeve until I put both arms behind her, letting her ride in comfort on her shoulder armchair. At least now I put her to work - it's her job to tell us when the street lights turn green ("go!"). Anna likes this picture; she always comments that Lara and I always look so stern and serious whenever we're looking about.
That Sunday, when Lara and I finally got to the park, we discovered 3 other sets of daddy-toddler explorers. The dads and I joked about how our presence had changed the playground - immediately you could sense a laxity to the normal rules. There was a one-year old who couldn't leave Lara alone (really, can you blame him?), mesmerizedly watching her snack on some cereal ("shack," as she calls this snack). He reached up and tried to take some... "no no no no no no," was Lara's response. I asked his dad if his kid could handle the shredded oats; the dad was very nonchalant, so I asked Lara if she'd like to share. She grabbed a handful and triumphantly presented it to the other dad who fed one to his kid. Lara really liked this concept. She delicately plucked up a piece of cereal, leaned towards the little boy (still working vigorously on his first piece), and shoved a new "snack" into his mouth. The other dad and I had a good laugh, and decided Lara was just about ready to start working as a babysitter.

Busy mornings get a little easier when you can "just add water" and have breakfast ready in minutes. Instant oatmeal is filling, fast and has plenty of flavor variations to try, but not all of them live up to oatmeal's healthy reputation. Here's our advice to keep this quick breakfast healthy.
Know Your Fiber: Some oatmeals (especially "high fiber" oatmeals) use guar gum to inflate their fiber number. Guar gum is a safe ingredient, but be aware that it only has soluble fiber, not insoluble.

Based on the abundance of cleanses on the market, you'd think a regular detox regimen is a must-do. Not so. Our bodies are pretty adept at eliminating most harmful substances we encounter, thanks to our kidneys, liver, lungs and GI system. And, buyer beware: the cleanses and detox diets out there vary widely and often aren't based in science. There are, however, a few foods that research shows can amp up your body's natural detox process.

Some habits can be tough to break. When it comes to cooking, you may have some bad habits that you're not even aware of. Some may be keeping your meal just short of reaching perfection while others may actually be hazardous to your health. Below are 10 common bad cooking habits that you should break:
1. Heating Oil Until It Smokes–Most recipes start with heating oil in a pan. It usually takes a little time for the stove to warm up, so we pour the oil and then turn our backs on the pan to do something else while it heats. Before you know it, you see wisps of smoke, which means the pan is hot and ready for cooking, right? Wrong! Not only do many oils taste bad once they have been heated to or past their smoke point, but when oils are heated to their smoke point or reheated repeatedly, they start to break down, destroying the...read full post »
I try to make a ginormous salad every day for lunch or dinner. Healthy salad recipes pack in a lot of nutrients for not a lot of calories—as long as you pay attention to the ingredients.

But dinner salads can be just as delicious and satisfying in the cooler months. I just adjust the mix for the season.
