Safe, Inexpensive Stop-Smoking Ear-Magnets
Safe – that's the key word to using ear magnets. Please read to learn why some Stop Smoking magnets may not be good for you.
During the early 1990's, the first anti-smoking ear-magnets went on sale in the United States. Although the therapy worked, it didn't catch on. Over the past several years, the therapy has started to become recognized and has helped over several million to stop smoking.
How does it work – two very small magnets are placed on both sides of the ear to stimulate the "Shenmen" acupressure point that affects the brain. Known as the Heavenly Gateway, this trigger point supports an increase in endorphins which increases dopamine just like smoking does.
Increased dopamine produces feelings of pleasure and satisfaction which most feel is the reason why smoking is so hard to quit. With the magnets supplying the dopamine, smoking becomes much easier to quit.
A strong cautionary note from the Science Director of BiomagScience:
"Ear magnets are simple to use but must be used correctly. When used on the ear, the energy is safe between the magnets. However, worldwide tests indicate one magnetic field pointed at the brain is safe whereas the opposite field is not. We are concerned as the ear magnets we have reviewed have no instructional markings and it is a toss-up which energy is going into the brain. It is exactly for this reason why BiomagScience is offering inexpensive ear magnets with safe instructions."
If you want to stop smoking, this simple technology has helped millions. If you are just interested in the good feelings the Heavenly Gateway acupressure point is supposed to provide, make sure your magnets are on right. To order or review the information, go to BiomagScience.net.
Hope this helps.
Best of health,
Peter, Director of Science

Historical Traveler Reviews L'Appartement Hotel Montreal
Great hotel, great location
Stayed with 2 children for 5 nights in August 2004 in a 1 bedroom suite. Found the location very handy for metro and bus access and easy short walk to St Catherine's Street and city centre. Very good supermarket about 5 minutes walk away as well as small convenience shop a block or so further on. The staff were all excellent-courteous, friendly and very, very helpful. The breakfast room was lovely and bright and the variety of breakfast food and drinks was fabulous. The suites were spotlessly clean, the kitchen was wonderfully equipped including brand new toaster, coffee maker etc. Roof top pool and terrace were lovely. We would definitely recommend anyone to stay here as it is wonderful value.
Very happy w/L'Appartment
We stayed here for four nights in August, 2004 with a family of six in a two bedroom. Room had two bedrooms + pull-out sofa. The room was clean. The front desk staff was very helpful. About two blocks to subway (McGill) and St. Catherine St. is close by. The continental breakfast made it easy when getting ready for a day of sight seeing and the breakfast staff were very nice.
Fantastic hotel, a great choice!
A really great hotel in a great location. We stayed there for over two weeks while relocating to Montreal. I highly recommend the small price of upgrading to the 1 BR suite from the studio, althought the studio was also very nice.
The kitchens were very handy but with all the great and affordable restaurants nearby, you'll be hardpressed to find yourself cooking that often!
The staff were very accomodating and friendly and I would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to the great city of Montreal, my new hometown!
The only thing keeping this hotel from being 4 star is the lack of an in-house restaurant, but again, this is a foodie town anyway. The pharmacy located next door is very handy too!
Wait for renovations and ask about AC!!!
We stayed here based on a trip advisor review which compared this hotel favorably with the Delta across the street where we usually stay. This is NOT the Delta. We followed a reviewer's advice and asked for a renovated room which, we were told, was not guaranteed. It also did not happen. The 4th floor one bedroom suite we got was shabby and dark (twilight in the bathroom) More importantly, there was a barely functioning air conditioner tucked behind the desk in the livingroom and no air conditioning in the bedroom. The ceiling fan did nothing because it worked correctly only on the winter setting where hot ceiling air is forced down. In the summer position it shook and clicked. Also, the advertised high speed internet connection did not yet exist.
We complained to the desk clerk (manager on duty?) who remained seated off to the side throughout and simply told us that because of the Jazz Festival there was not a better room anywhere in the hotel for the full 5 day duration of our stay. Without checking he insisted the same was true with other sister properties in the city.
The next day, when we approached his superior, no fewer that three options suddenly opened up and we were first offered a downgrade to a studio (but on a renovated floor) and a renovated 1 bedroom. We couldn't use a studio and, since all one bedroom suites here lack AC in the bedroom, we didn't want to re-pack just to move to another hot room so we declined these offers. We were then offered a two bedroom suite on a renovated floor. Two bedroom suites here consist of one air conditioned bedroom and one with just a ceilinig fan as well as generous air conditioned living and dining areas and a fully equipped kitchen. We accepted. The suite was bright, roomy, and cheerful. Our overall opinion of the hotel would have been completely different if we had started here and had not had to deal with the indifference of the first manager on duty. While his marching orders might well have required him to deny the availablity of other rooms, he could have shown more concern merely by getting out of his chair and approaching the check in counter to deal with a dissatisfied client.
I would stay here again only if a renovated suite was available and guaranteed. The pool was slightly cloudy throughout our stay and the elevators are shabby, slow, and cramped, but overall the suite was nice enough to make up for this (Far nicer than similarly priced accomodations at the Delta) The hotel would be wise to renovate the elevators next so that at least the guests on renovated floors get a more consistent impression of the property.
The hotel has recently added a continental breakfast which is nicely stocked and well-tended in a bright, comfortable room next to the lobby. Other that my first day experienced, the staff (including the first gentlement) was friendly and helpful for the duration of the stay.
Our 'new' favourite hotel
Just got back from a wonderful 6 nights at L'appartement Hotel. We have always stayed at the Delta Montreal on President Kennedy and decided to try L'appartement this time. (It is across the street from the Delta on Sherbrooke.) I liked the layout of the rooms and the fact that all rooms have kitchens(I like to cook breakfast). The room was quite large comfortable and clean. The kitchen was very adequate for my needs, and the balcony overlooking Sherbrooke was a great place to sit and watch Montreal go by. One surprise was that while we stayed at L'appartement, our car got to stay at the Delta! The parking was full at L'appartement. The staff were very friendly and attentive to the only problem we encountered during our stay. I was impressed with how quickly the problem was taken care of. The only warning I will pass along is this: To properly adjust the water temperature in the shower, it is advisable that you have a Master's Degree in Fluid Thermodynamics!Will we stay here again?Absolutely! Would we recommend it to others? You Bet! Sorry Delta, we have a new favourite.
Great place to stay!
We loved staying here! We have had a studio and a 1 BR apt. The inside parking is a great way to go, and you can beat the price for all the convenience. Everything was very clean and you can't beat the location.
The staff is more than helpful.
You can't do better in the budget category!
My cousin and I stayed there last summer (2003). The room we had was extremely clean, had a nice balcony that looked over Sherbrooke (a tony shopping street in a safe area) and was walking distance to just about every neighborhood I wanted to check out. I'm a walker though, so if you aren't inclined to mile-long strolls, feel free to take one of the inexpensive taxis or the clean public transit. We were on a modest budget and appreciated the spotless kitchenette, where we fixed two meals a day so we could splurge on the third. (Montreal is a great foodie town!) After a day of running around I took a sauna and a swim in the rooftop pool which has a nice view of downtown. I loved this hotel and I love Montreal. It's closer and cheaper than Europe is right now, and the people/restaurants/bars there are super. Go Canada!
This Place Rules!
I have stayed in literally 10 different hotels in Montreal and this one is by far my favorite! We always get the 2 bedroom suite. It's like your own little condo with a small kitchen and dining area. Two private bedrooms with a nice comfortable Queen size in each, (maybe their King I don't know). The living room is great. A reclining chair, and a couch that pulls out into an extra bed. Up to 5 or 6 people no problem. The rooms are always clean and nice. Keep in mind this is not 5 star luxury, more like 3 1/2 stars. But the rooms are great and the prices are excellent! I have stayed here several times and never had a problem.
A good choice
Stayed here for 3 nights in July 2003. We had a one bedroom apt, which was clean and comfortable. While we did have a few minor complaints, i.e. noisy fridge, no container to make juice, hood fan over stove didn't work, that kind of thing, over all it was a good accomodation.
The staff were very friendly, and the view from the roof top patio was beautiful. The room was a nice place to come back to after a long day of sight seeing. there is a Provigo supermarket just a few blocks away to buy groceries at, McGill University campus is a few blocks away, Metro is close by, VIA rail train station is a few blocks away.... in other words, the location couldn't be better. The Four Poins Sheraton is right next store and the Hilton is across the street.
The place for me! (and you)
This apartment hotel is a find! The location on Sherbrooke street is great, easy access to Metro and restaurants/shopping. The hotel is 17 stories with an indoor pool and sauna on the top floor. There are a few workout machines like treadmill, etc. For long-term guests there is laundry facilities. The rooms are described as 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 3 1/2 but are actually studio/1 BR/2 BR. Each have a kitchen with full size stove, fridge, microwave and everything else you might want down to the salt/pepper and a corkscrew. Coffee pot, toaster,dishcloths and detergent come along as well so if you are a family you cannot go wrong here. The 1 and 2 BR units have full living room and dining area. Units on the front of the building open onto a balcony on Sherbrooke St. Bath is well ventilated and has plenty of towels. Staff at the reception are excellent. Biggest complaint would be the 2 small elevators that you have to share with the maids and their carts during the morning hours. There are rate reductions for stays longer than 7 days. All the comforts of home. Try this one for sure.

After 14 months of construction, the Milton & Catherine Hershey Conservatory at Hershey Gardens is conducting a "soft opening" this week in advance of its official July 1 opening date. The highlight of the 16,000 sq ft conservatory is the much-anticipated Butterfly Atrium, which will feature an ever-changing array of hundreds of butterflies year-round. The Butterfly Atrium's hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the winter months. The Atrium is included with admission to Hershey Gardens, which will increase to $12.50 ($11.50 for seniors 62+ and $9.00 for kids ages 3-12; children under 3 are free). The price of a family membership is expected to rise slightly as well.
The Conservatory adds significantly to the 79-year-old Hershey Gardens, a 23-acre botanical garden that got its start from Milton Hershey's request to "create a nice garden of roses." An educational wing will improve the Gardens' mission to provide educational and cultural enrichment—in 2015, more than 4,000 students attended educational field trips and classes at the Gardens and that number is expected to increase as the Gardens will be open for more of the traditional school year.
Another change: a new lower parking lot with wide paths that are easier to navigate with walkers, wheelchairs and strollers. The Conservatory now serves as the main entrance to Hershey Gardens and guests entering the large front doors walk into a welcome pavilion with a soaring glass ceiling some 37 feet from the ground. Several palm trees and 65 stained glass butterflies crafted by local artist Luise Christensen-Howell look right at home in the Welcoming Pavilion. Ticketing has also moved to the Conservatory, along with the gift shop (with some nice new butterfly-themed merchandise.)
The Butterfly Atrium itself is one of only 25 year-round tropical butterfly atriums in the United States and will feature hundreds of butterflies in an ever-changing variety (50-60 species at a time will be on view), including some tropical butterflies never before seen in Central PA. The Atrium is kept at a constant temperature of 80F with 70% humidity, an optimal atmosphere for the winged residents.
A large chrysalis cabinet allows visitors to watch as butterflies emerge from their chrysalids—if you've seen the chrysalid cabinet at the Gardens' seasonal butterfly house in the Childrens' Garden, you'll appreciate the much better view the new larger cabinet in the Conservatory provides. The 2500-square-foot atrium includes a landscape of tropical plants, including (of course) a cacao tree. Plants were specially chosen to host the wide variety of butterflies and include nectar-bearing plants and flowering vines. A wall of foliage provides a backdrop to a stunning sculptural banana leaf-shaped water feature designed by Lebanon County artist Shane Morgan.
The Educational & Horticultural wing of the Conservatory balances the Butterfly Atrium and provides a 12-month opportunity for education. The wing is easily converted to a grand meeting space and will make a spectacular reception area for winter weddings. Planters with casters allow the greenery to be moved and reconfigured easily.
Architecturally, the Conservatory complements the design of the Hotel Hershey. The design draws inspiration from a conservatory built in 1909 at High Point, the home of Milton and Catherine Hershey. The Hersheys built glass conservatories as a way to display plants during the winter; their conservatories began to draw visitors anxious to escape the cold winter weather amid a greenhouse filled with tropical foliage.
The Hershey Gardens is a non-profit entity operated by The M.S. Hershey Foundation. For more information about the Gardens and the special events it frequently sponsors, visit the Hershey Gardens website.

A new addition to Hershey this year, the Milton & Catherine Hershey Conservatory is perched on a hill above Hersheypark.
The 16,000-square-foot Conservatory will feature a tropical butterfly atrium that will be open year 'round and will include more than 600 butterflies representing 200-300 species. The Butterfly Atrium will be one of only 25 enclosed tropical butterfly atriums in the U.S., and word is that timed tickets may be offered to ease congestion. Another wing of the Conservatory will house lush tropical foliage and serve as a space for education programs, weddings and social events.
Expected to open in mid-summer, the Conservatory will serve as the new entrance to the Hershey Gardens. Part of the new construction is an additional accessible parking lot.
The Milton & Catherine Hershey Conservatory is yet another addition to Hershey Gardens, which opened in 1937 as a 3 1⁄2-acre rose garden out of Milton Hershey's request to "create a nice garden of roses." Many other milestones have marked the expansion of Hershey Gardens which, today, is a 23-acre botanical garden hosting 115,000 visitors annually. A non-profit entity of The M.S. Hershey Foundation, Hershey Gardens features 11 themed gardens, including a children's garden.

Visitors to Hershey this spring and summer will notice plenty of changes around town. We'll be highlighting more of the changes and improvements in the coming weeks, but wanted to spotlight Hershey's Chocolate World today. Operated by The Hershey Company, Hershey's Chocolate World is located adjacent to Hersheypark (which is operated by Hershey Entertainment & Resorts, a separate entity). Both the exterior and interior of Chocolate World have been undergoing a transformation as the facilities modernize and expand to meet increased visitor demand. Although some of the changes are cosmetic (e.g., new bar characters introduced in the 4D show have steadily replaced the old, signage has been updated, the tour ride queue has moved), parts of Chocolate World are undergoing more extensive renovations. This year, the popular tour ride is being completely revamped for the first time in nearly a decade. If you want to see kids' favorites Gabby, Olympia and Harmony, you'll have to visit the free tour ride before mid-April as the animatronic cows are being replaced by other barnyard friends.

quote: In 2005, California only got $0.78 (NY $0.79) in spending for every dollar it gave to the federal gov't in taxes. In fact, most of the blue states did. For you to say 2009 has so radically shifted the balance is baseless speculation.
quote: Look, the fact is that CA and NY pay significantly more to the feds for the benefit of the nation than they get back, so anyone complaining about other states giving money to socialist CA should STFU. Your cost of living argument is a red herring.
quote: I'm just saying people should stop making BS claims that CA "needs money from other states to operate". They're like kids with an allowance complaining that their mom asked them to buy some makeup for her with "their" money.

Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x pic.twitter.com/HEmY14El5s— Adele (@OfficialAdele) May 4, 2014
Adele has marked her birthday by dropping a huge hint that another album is imminent.
She posted a tweet of herself in bed giving the thumbs up with the message: "Bye, bye 25...see you again later in the year x."
Adele's previous two albums, '19' (released in 2008) and 21 released in 2011, propelled the Tottenham girl to worldwide acclaim.
Since she named the first two albums after her age at the time, fans are hoping her latest tweet hints at the imminent release of a new record marking her 25th year.
Adele first mentioned that she was in the early stages of working on her new album after the Grammys last year.
Among the stars she is thought to be working with are Phil Collins, and Diane Warren.
If it ends up being anywhere near as good as her first two albums then we are in for a treat!
As for what Adele has planned for her birthday today - with the fortune she has the sk's the limit.

H. Scott Prosterman: While one political ideology in this country views healthcare, quality education and the right to eat well as the exclusive province of a certain income threshold, Sargent Shriver is perhaps the single American political figure who best represents the opposite.
A Hollow Bomber Jacket
Norman Solomon: Evidence of the Obama administration's "moral collapse" is profuse; the pattern is clear, the consequences already terrible. During the weeks and months ahead, progressives will need to engage in fresh strategic discussions. Public candor may be insufficient, but it is necessary.
A Big Fool Says to Push On
Ann Wright: On the eve of the beginning of the tenth year (October 7) of the U.S war in Afghanistan, Bob Woodward's new book "Obama's War" about presidential decision making on the war in Afghanistan is pretty scary reading. It sounds to me like folk singer Peter Seeger's song about the Vietnam war "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy," describes the U.S. war in Afghanistan.
Kicking the Can Down the Street
I am afraid to say that President Obama is even risking his presidency by this decision. From this point forward, he will lack the support of the rank and file Democratic majority and become dependent on the very Republicans whose highest priority is to defeat him in 2012.
The Way It Wasn't: Cronkite and Vietnam
Cronkite made a bold decision to step out of his familiar role as impartial anchor and to express views that he said were "speculative, personal, subjective." Yet he was speaking for more than himself.
President Obama's Politics of Dignity
President Obama knows that solutions won't arise out of politics as usual. His personification of dignitarian politics resonates not only with Americans but around the world.
Walter Cronkite
There's only one tribute to the memory of Walter Conkrite that means anything and that would be if TV "journalists" somehow learned from his example and did their goddamn jobs!
Gay Pride Speaks to Equality
In the Oxford English Dictionary "equality" means, "Identical in amount; neither less nor greater…having the same measure, number, value, intensity." How did three Democratic presidents, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Lyndon Johnson, speak to equality? President Barack Obama on Monday, June 1, named June as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month" issuing a proclamation: […]

After a year of post-grad research he fled the country for a year-long volunteer program in Ecuador. While working in a clinic for patients with Hansen's disease and running an after school program outside of Guayaquil, he met Alison. After returning to the US, Adam chased Alison to Boston where he worked at Boston Children's doing HIV outreach, counseling, and testing. Despite her common sense, Alison acquiesced and married Adam in 2010 while he was in DC attending George Washington for medical school. Their expanding family includes a dog, and in October of 2012 their son Owen came into the world just when Hurricane Sandy was beating up the coast. Adam was fortunate enough to travel to Haiti twice during medical school and is hoping to have a career where international work is expected. He is thrilled to be back in New England and at UMASS but is distraught over how he'll be able to stay up on his Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets and Avalanche during residency.

Matthew Wiese, PL-2
Matt is a Syracuse native, who first ventured to Worcester for college, where he went to Holy Cross. As a history major, he was allowed to leave the science library long enough to venture to Ireland for a year abroad. Once there, he joined the basketball team and became a "collegiate athlete". His senior year plans to attend veterinary school were derailed by an internship with the developmental and behavioral pediatricians at UMass. With pediatrics now in his future, he went down to Baltimore to teach at Cristo Rey Jesuit high school, where it was felt that his history degree could best be put to use by having him teach freshman algebra. He was bribed back to Syracuse for med school at SUNY Upstate by the promise of a dog (Tasker), home cooking, a magic fridge, and a laundry fairy. Four years later, he took the familiar trip down I-90 back to Worcester, this time bringing his fiancé (an Ob/Gyn resident) with him (she interviewed on a perfect fall day in November and he swore to her that the weather in Worcester was always that nice). Matt was promised that Pediatrics would involve only Disney movie marathons, all you can eat ice cream, and lots of legos. Turns out he was lied to, but the people at UMass were all really nice, so he decided to stay until he can fulfill his dream of becoming a paid, full-time inhabitant of Disney World.

Could not install the file - installtion

Try completely uninstalling all AV, firewall and other security software.
