The effect of aging on the process of word encoding for fixated words and words presented to the right of the fixation point during the reading of sentences in Chinese was investigated with two disappearing text experiments. The results of Experiment 1 showed that only the 40-ms onset disappearance of word n disrupted young adults' reading performance. However, for old readers, the disappearance of word n caused disruptions until the onset time was 120 ms. The results of Experiment 2 showed that the disappearance of word n + 1 did not cause disruptions to young adults, but these conditions made old readers spend more time reading a sentence compared to the normal display condition. These results indicated a reliable aging effect on the process of word encoding when reading Chinese, and that the encoding process in the preview frame was more susceptible to normal aging compared to that in the fixation frame. We propose that sensory, cognitive, and specific factors related to the Chinese language are important contributors to these age-related differences.
Central vision, critical for everyday tasks such as reading and driving, is impacted by age-related changes in the eye and by diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. The detection of changes in macular function is therefore important. The Radial Shape Discrimination (RSD) test measures the threshold at which distortions in a radial frequency pattern can be detected and there is evidence that it is more sensitive to macular pathology than visual acuity (VA). It also provides a more quantitative measure of macular function than the commonly available Amsler grid. Recently, handheld versions of the test (hRSD) in which stimuli are presented on mobile devices (e.g., Apple iPod Touch, iPhone) have been developed. We investigated the characteristics of the hRSD test in healthy participants.Methods
Data were collected using both three-alternative forced choice (3AFC) and 4AFC versions of the hRSD test, presented on an Apple iPod Touch. For the 3AFC version, data from a single test session were available for 186 (72 male; mean ± SD age 42 ± 17y; range 16–90y) healthy participants. Test-retest data were available for subgroups of participants (intra-session: N = 74; tests approximately 2 months apart: N = 30; tests 39 months apart: N = 15). The 3AFC and 4AFC versions were directly compared in 106 participants who also completed a usability questionnaire. Distance and near VA and Pelli Robson Contrast Sensitivity (CS) data were collected and undilated fundoscopy performed on the majority of participants.Results
Mean (±SD) 3AFC hRSD threshold was −0.77 ± 0.14 logMAR, and was statistically significantly correlated with age (Pearson r = 0.35; p < 0.001). The linear regression of hRSD threshold on age had a slope of +0.0026 compared to +0.0051 for near VA (which also correlated with age: r = 0.51; p < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in hRSD thresholds for any of the test-retest subgroups. We also observed no statistically significant difference between 3AFC (−0.82 ± 0.11 logMAR) and 4AFC (−0.80 ± 0.12 logMAR) hRSD thresholds (t = 1.85, p = 0.067) and participants reported excellent test usability with no strong preference expressed between the 3AFC and 4AFC versions of the test.Discussion
The 3AFC hRSD thresholds we report are consistent with a number of previous studies, as is its greater stability in ageing compared to VA. We have also shown that in the absence of pathology, thresholds are stable over short and long timescales. The 4AFC thresholds we have reported provide a baseline for future investigations, and we have confirmed that 3AFC and 4AFC thresholds are similar, providing a basis of comparisons between studies using the different versions. As the hRSD test is easy to use and relatively inexpensive, clinical studies are now required to establish its ability to detect and monitor macular pathologies.
Highlighted text in the Internet (i.e., hypertext) is predominantly blue and underlined. The perceptibility of these hypertext characteristics was heavily questioned by applied research and empirical tests resulted in inconclusive results. The ability to recognize blue text in foveal and parafoveal vision was identified as potentially constrained by the low number of foveally centered blue light sensitive retinal cells. The present study investigates if foveal and parafoveal perceptibility of blue hypertext is reduced in comparison to normal black text during reading.Methods
A silent-sentence reading study with simultaneous eye movement recordings and the invisible boundary paradigm, which allows the investigation of foveal and parafoveal perceptibility, separately, was realized (comparing fixation times after degraded vs. un-degraded parafoveal previews). Target words in sentences were presented in either black or blue and either underlined or normal.Results
No effect of color and underlining, but a preview benefit could be detected for first pass reading measures. Fixation time measures that included re-reading, e.g., total viewing times, showed, in addition to a preview effect, a reduced fixation time for not highlighted (black not underlined) in contrast to highlighted target words (either blue or underlined or both).Discussion
The present pattern reflects no detectable perceptual disadvantage of hyperlink stimuli but increased attraction of attention resources, after first pass reading, through highlighting. Blue or underlined text allows readers to easily perceive hypertext and at the same time readers re-visited highlighted words longer. On the basis of the present evidence, blue hypertext can be safely recommended to web designers for future use.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between different exercise modes and visuospatial working memory in healthy older adults. A cross-sectional design was adopted. A total of 111 healthy older adults were enrolled in the study. They were classified by the exercise-related questionnaire to be in an open-skill group, closed-skill group or sedentary group. In experiment 1, the participants performed a visuospatial working memory task. The results indicated that both closed-skill (p < 0.05) and open-skill (p < 0.01) groups reached a higher accuracy than the sedentary group. Experiment 2 examined whether the exercise-induced benefit of working memory was manifested in passive maintenance or active manipulation of working memory which was assessed by visuospatial short-term memory task and visuospatial mental rotation task, respectively. The results showed that the open-skill (p < 0.01) group was more accurate than the sedentary group in the visuospatial short-term memory task, whereas the group difference in the visuospatial mental rotation task was not significant. These findings combined to suggest that physical exercise was associated with better visuospatial working memory in older adults. Furthermore, open-skill exercises that demand higher cognitive processing showed selective benefit for passive maintenance of working memory.
Aim/hypothesis: The aim of our study was to characterize the human salivary proteome and determine the changes in protein expression in two different stages of diabetic retinopathy with type-2 diabetes mellitus: (1) with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and (2) with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Type-2 diabetes mellitus without diabetic retinopathy (XDR) was designated as control.
Method: In this study, 45 saliva samples were collected (15 samples from XDR control group, 15 samples from NPDR disease group and 15 samples from PDR disease group). Salivary proteins were extracted, reduced, alkylated, trypsin digested and labeled with an isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) before being analyzed by an Orbitrap fusion tribrid mass spectrometer. Protein annotation, fold change calculation and statistical analysis were interrogated by Proteome Discoverer. Biological pathway analysis was performed by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifiers PXD003723–PX003725.
Results: A total of 315 proteins were identified from the salivary proteome and 119 proteins were found to be differentially expressed. The differentially expressed proteins from the NPDR disease group and the PDR disease group were assigned to respective canonical pathways indicating increased Liver X receptor/Retinoid X receptor (LXR/RXR) activation, Farnesoid X receptor/Retinoid X receptor (FXR/RXR) activation, acute phase response signaling, sucrose degradation V and regulation of actin-based motility by Rho in the PDR disease group compared to the NPDR disease group.
Conclusions/Interpretation: Progression from non-proliferative to proliferative retinopathy in type-2 diabetic patients is a complex multi-mechanism and systemic process. Furthermore, saliva was shown to be a feasible alternative sample source for diabetic retinopathy biomarkers.
Automated retinal image analysis has been emerging as an important diagnostic tool for early detection of eye-related diseases such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. In this paper, we have presented a robust methodology for optic disc detection and boundary segmentation, which can be seen as the preliminary step in the development of a computer-assisted diagnostic system for glaucoma in retinal images. The proposed method is based on morphological operations, the circular Hough transform and the grow-cut algorithm. The morphological operators are used to enhance the optic disc and remove the retinal vasculature and other pathologies. The optic disc center is approximated using the circular Hough transform, and the grow-cut algorithm is employed to precisely segment the optic disc boundary. The method is quantitatively evaluated on five publicly available retinal image databases DRIVE, DIARETDB1, CHASE_DB1, DRIONS-DB, Messidor and one local Shifa Hospital Database. The method achieves an optic disc detection success rate of 100% for these databases with the exception of 99.09% and 99.25% for the DRIONS-DB, Messidor, and ONHSD databases, respectively. The optic disc boundary detection achieved an average spatial overlap of 78.6%, 85.12%, 83.23%, 85.1%, 87.93%, 80.1%, and 86.1%, respectively, for these databases. This unique method has shown significant improvement over existing methods in terms of detection and boundary extraction of the optic disc.
Imagine you are being gazed at by multiple individuals simultaneously. Is the provoked anxiety a learned social-specific response or related to a pathological disorder known as trypophobia? A previous study revealed that spectral properties of images induced aversive reactions in observers with trypophobia. However, it is not clear whether individual differences such as social anxiety traits are related to the discomfort associated with trypophobic images. To investigate this issue, we conducted two experiments with social anxiety and trypophobia and images of eyes and faces. In Experiment 1, participants completed a social anxiety scale and trypophobia questionnaire before evaluation of the discomfort experienced upon exposure to pictures of eye. The results showed that social anxiety had a significant indirect effect on the discomfort associated with the eye clusters, and that the effect was mediated by trypophobia. Experiment 2 replicated Experiment 1 using images of human face. The results showed that, as in Experiment 1, a significant mediation effect of trypophobia was obtained, although the relationship between social anxiety and the discomfort rating was stronger than in Experiment 1. Our findings suggest that both social anxiety and trypophobia contribute to the induction of discomfort when one is gazed at by many people.
The fovea is one of the most studied retinal specializations in vertebrates, which consists of an invagination of the retinal tissue with high packing of cone photoreceptors, leading to high visual resolution. Between species, foveae differ morphologically in the depth and width of the foveal pit and the steepness of the foveal walls, which could influence visual perception. However, there is no standardized methodology to measure the contour of the foveal pit across species. We present here FOVEA, a program for the quantification of foveal parameters (width, depth, slope of foveal pit) using images from histological cross-sections or optical coherence tomography (OCT). FOVEA is based on a new algorithm to detect the inner retina contour based on the color variation of the image. We evaluated FOVEA by comparing the fovea morphology of two Passerine birds based on histological cross-sections and its performance with data from previously published OCT images. FOVEA detected differences between species and its output was not significantly different from previous estimates using OCT software. FOVEA can be used for comparative studies to better understand the evolution of the fovea morphology in vertebrates as well as for diagnostic purposes in veterinary pathology. FOVEA is freely available for academic use and can be downloaded at: http://estebanfj.bio.purdue.edu/fovea.
The extent to which perceptually suppressed face stimuli are still processed has been extensively studied using the continuous flash suppression paradigm (CFS). Studies that rely on breaking CFS (b-CFS), in which the time it takes for an initially suppressed stimulus to become detectable is measured, have provided evidence for relatively complex processing of invisible face stimuli. In contrast, adaptation and neuroimaging studies have shown that perceptually suppressed faces are only processed for a limited set of features, such as its general shape. In this study, we asked whether perceptually suppressed face stimuli presented in their commonly experienced configuration would break suppression faster than when presented in an uncommonly experienced configuration. This study was motivated by a recent neuroimaging study showing that commonly experienced face configurations are more strongly represented in the fusiform face area. Our findings revealed that faces presented in commonly experienced configurations indeed broke suppression faster, yet this effect did not interact with face inversion suggesting that, in a b-CFS context, perceptually suppressed faces are potentially not processed by specialized (high-level) face processing mechanisms. Rather, our pattern of results is consistent with an interpretation based on the processing of more basic visual properties such as convexity.
Background: The purpose of this study is to provide a report on scientific production during the period 2010–2014 in order to identify the major topics as well as the predominant actors (journals, countries, continents) involved in the field of eye disease. Methods: A PubMed search was carried out to extract articles related to eye diseases during the period 2010–2014. Data were downloaded and processed through developed PHP scripts for further analysis. Results: A total of 62,123 articles were retrieved. A total of 3,368 different journals were found, and 19 journals were identified as "core journals" according to Braford's law. English was by far the predominant language. A total of 853,182 MeSH terms were found, representing an average of 13.73 (SD = 4.98) MeSH terms per article. Among these 853,182 MeSH terms, 14,689 different MeSH terms were identified. Vision Disorders, Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Macular Degeneration, and Cataract were the most frequent five MeSH terms related to eye diseases. The analysis of the total number of publications showed that Europe and Asia were the most productive continents, and the USA and China the most productive countries. Interestingly, using the mean Five-Year Impact Factor, the two most productive continents were North America and Oceania. After adjustment for population, the overall ranking positions changed in favor of smaller countries (i.e. Iceland, Switzerland, Denmark, and New Zealand), while after adjustment for Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the overall ranking positions changed in favor of some developing countries (Malawi, Guatemala, Singapore). Conclusions: Due to the large number of articles included and the numerous parameters analyzed, this study provides a wide view of scientific productivity related to eye diseases during the period 2010–2014 and allows us to better understand this field.

Excelente relación calidad-precio, muy limpio. Las habitaciones remodeladas.
Estaba un poco preocupado por alojarme en este hotel por una interacción que tuve con alguien por teléfono cuando llamé más adelante en el hotel. Pero cuando llegué pensé que iba a ser un lugar decente donde alojarse. Me dieron una habitación en una parte renovada del motel. El mobiliario y la decoración era un poco extraño, sin embargo, para una habitación de motel. Muy grande, muebles de madera maciza que parecía enorme y algunos extraños jarrones y pared arte. Además, la iluminación era muy oscura y porque necesitaba para trabajar en la habitación esa noche, le pedí a la gerente de la noche, que parecía agradable, una lámpara adicional de mesa que trajo. A pesar de la decoración, parecía bien hasta ... El problema que tuvimos con el hotel terminó siendo con la grosería innecesaria del propietario. La habitación en la que me habían dado tenía colchones blandos. Me di cuenta de esto temprano por la noche me habría pedido otra habitación, pero porque estuve despierto hasta tarde para terminar el trabajo en mi ordenador, ni siquiera ir a la cama hasta las 1 de la mañana. El colchón parecía extraordinariamente suave, pero traté de hacer lo mejor posible. dormir durante períodos breves pero despertarse en molestia (dolores en diferentes partes de espalda o piernas dependiendo de cómo me dormí.) A las 3:30 estaba bien conscientes de que no había manera de que iba a conseguir una buena noche de sueño pero no parecía haber nadie en la oficina por lo que pude ver ( mi habitación estaba directamente en frente de la oficina). En la cima de una noche terrible con sueñecito, a las 7:30 y hubo una máquina grande de construcción 1.5 litros la grava en el aparcamiento justo en frente de mi habitación y fue escenario de la alarma en mi coche. Hablé con el propietario en breve mientras esto sucedía, explicando la terrible noche de sueño porque el colchón, y le pregunté si él me diera descuento en mi habitación. groseramente dijo, "nunca tuvimos una queja" y básicamente dijo que no podía hacer nada para reducir la cuenta. Inmediatamente yo reconocí (su voz) como la persona grosera que contestó mi llamada el día anterior. Él me dijo que debería haber despertó el director de noche para una nueva habitación y porque no me dijo que no iba a hacer cualquier cosa. Así que le pregunté a otra habitación que podía usar hasta la 11:00 hora de salida para que pudiera conseguir unas cuantas horas. Él se negó rotundamente, diciendo "No puedo dar una habitación por unas pocas horas." me preguntó " ¿por qué no?" pero se negaron a darme una respuesta. En ese punto que se convirtió en más que molesta, e insistió. Su esposa, vinieron en la oficina y discutieron algo en otro idioma y finalmente me puso en otra habitación, insistieron en que no dejaría que mi perro en la cama. No es aceptable, ya que hubiera pagado una mascota tarifa adicional. Sin embargo, estoy de acuerdo, como mi perro no ir en cualquier mobiliario a menos que me permiten que ella. Sin embargo, cuando entramos en la nueva habitación mi perro, sin entrar en la cama, con ojos penetrantes olor empezó a varios lugares en la cobertura de la cama, una señal segura que la cubierta no estaba limpia. Terminó que no me quedo de todos modos porque el ruido de la construcción en el aparcamiento era imposible dormir. Aparte de la mala educación de la propietaria, que cuestionan la limpieza de este hotel porque, además de mi perro la fascinación con los olores de la ropa de cama, vi que el servicio de limpieza carrito y todos los "limpia" suministros (es decir, toallas, sábanas, tp, etc) para limpiar las habitaciones era almacenado en lo que parecía ser una sin terminar, es decir Shed, además de este motel. Lo que puede parecer una habitación limpia puede no estar limpio.
El personal era agradable. La habitación estaba muy limpia y renovada. Una buena relación calidad-precio.
La ubicación es buena. Las habitaciones no han sido renovadas jamás, ni siquiera la ropa. Teníamos bichos en la cama de nuestra habitación. El desayuno de cortesía se suponía que iba a comenzar a las 6, pero el restaurante estaba todavía cerrado a las 6:10.
Ubicación y precio relativamente bajo. La ropa de cama era anticuado, y la alfombra no estaba limpia
El desayuno y las bebidas complementarias La decoración estaba un poco pasada de moda pero todo estaba limpio
El ruido de las obras por la mañana arruinó nuestra estancia.
El viento entra por la chimenea y la habitación se llena de humo. No es muy romántico.
Habitaciones limpias, vistas al río desde el patio, un buen baño, piscina cubierta, acceso gratuito a internet y cargador de 6 puertos USB en en la mesa. No hay desayuno gratis y el desayuno era caro en Currents. El personal debería haber informado de que había obras en marcha al otro lado del río. Supongo que están poniendo cimientos para un nuevo edificio.
El personal era muy amable. En el baño de la habitación era agradable y estaba limpio. Todos los ruidos fuera de la habitación: servicio de habitaciones, personas, coches, se podía oír como fue dentro de su habitación por la mañana. Es imposible dormir.
Estar en el río. La cama. Ubicación conveniente. Hay un bonito bar con buena comida. Caro. El personal parecía bastante estresado y no prestaba mucha ayuda.
Gran vista. El personal es agradable. Las habitaciones están limpias. A la propiedad sin duda le vendría bien una reforma.
Everything Tetherow had at the time of our stay was luxurious and very well maintained. This is an ideal location to getaway from the busy center of Bend for romance, business, and family, it currently offers a comforting and intimate remoteness compared to other hotel/resort options in the area. At the current rates Tetherow is an exceptional value. Book a stay before the expansion begins. What is unfortunate is the intention to expand from 50-units to 250-units in years to come, which will take away from the scenic and isolated appeal that Tetherow now offers. All that is currently missing are a few needed facilities: pool, spa, etc.
Four friends and I stayed for my birthday get away. We had never visited Bend before and this hotel was the perfect choice for our first impression. After being wooed by the luxurious appearence of the building itself and the gorgeous location, we were blown away again by the genuin hospitality of the staff. Everything was clean, the vibe is spot on,and it was overall extremely fulfilling. Good food, great shower, and the robes and beds are to DIE FOR!
Friendly staff Very well designed spacious room Fantastic location Comfortable stay
Staff was amazing and the entire lodge and restaurants were beautiful! Highly recommended!
This is a beautiful hotel in an ideal location for accessing downtown Bend. The prices are reasonable and the staff hospitable. We enjoyed our modern room, comfortable bed, mountain view and great immenities. Our morning in the sauna completed the experience. We highly recommend this lovely hotel.
It is not often that I will spend the time to fill out a survey. It has to be really great or awful. Yes, it was pricey. The Oxford Hotel Bend more then exceeded our expectations. The entire staff was excellent. Location perfect for our needs and clean.
It was outstanding That the restaurant was closed to private party
Very nice hotel, super staff and a great bar and restaurant. I have stayed in hotels all over the world but the service at the Oxford was superb. Bend is a very nice town and there are a lot of great restaurants nearby. The free use of the bicycles is nice too as Bend is very bike friendly.
location, staff, and environment - beautiful rooms all with contemporary furnishings and comforts. Beautiful place. most of the room windows do not open. I moved to a room with a balcony door but the guest on one side was smoking on his balcony - against hotel rules. Not the hotel's fault but just a poor balcony design with little privacy. They graciously moved me.
The room was very small but I was a lone traveler and I could tell it was the smallest room out of all of them. It was very clean and comfortable, and check in was extremely fast.
Big rooms. Good value. Rooms are a bit outdated - decor is old fashion. New carpeting would make the rooms seem cleaner.
Friendly front desk staff Wifi was not reliable. Rooms were clean but basic.
Older property, but clean and very well maintained. Mid-sized flat screen TV, adequate wifi, and in-room coffee were nice. Rooms were oddly shaped and varied in size.
This is a great value.
The staff was super friendly, even when I had unusual requests.
For the price especially, this was the nicest and cleanest room I have ever been in. I will definitely be coming back. Hot water, clean rooms, comfortable bed, a little low on the water pressure when lots of people are showering but not too bad it's a great place to stay for 1-2 people. Only down side if you can call it that is the managers check in room is one of the rooms there and the desk if you can call it that is beside the bed..
I liked that we were able to get a comfortable room at the last minute. The quarters were tight, but it was all we needed for one night. Bed was comfortable.
Clean, comfortable, good value. Staff was friendly, appreciate wifi & in room coffee
The free breakfast was delicious and filling!! Fresh fruit, the best coffee and so much to choose from. The bed wAs very comfortable! Slept like a log! Can't think of anything I didn't like. However we wished we weren't so rushed with other plans so we could have sat in the hot tub
Friendly staff Average facilities, location, cleanliness just okay.
Loved the bed, very comfortable! I was actually tempted to ask the front desk what kinds of mattresses they use. The price was the only thing I didn't really like. The breakfast was good, but the food/room didn't justify $170/night.
Seemed newly remodeled and breakfast was alright
There were two good things about this place. The guy working the front counter when we checked in on Feb 5 (2016) was very nice and helpful. The other thing is the biscuits and gravy in the continental breakfast were pretty good. There were quite a few things we didn't like. We were told all the rooms in the hotel were non-smoking, but ours stunk badly of cigarette smoke. Tried calling the front desk to let them know, but the phone was inoperative. The carpets were filthy and stained. One bed made a large clanking sound anytime you sat on it or rolled over while laying on it. Out of the four clean towels provided, one had a large grease stain and one had, what looked like, FECES on it. When I brought the fecal towel to the attention of the front desk lady on the morning of Feb 7th (2016), she responded with, "what do you want me to do!" In other words she was very rude. I recommend staying away from this motel. I've stayed here several times over the past few years and it has been getting progressively worse.
Room stunk like dog do do and wet hair from same. Light bulbs burned out. Told front desk without any action. Police took down armed persons right outside our door. Got sick from eating hard boiled eggs from the breakfast buffet. Used to be good but not anymore..
the rooms were clean and comfortable this is our third visit and found the service lacking. It took two hous to get a bulb for the room and that's only after we went to the desk. No coffee in the morning (7am) only cereal, old muffins for food. Very disappointed on this trip
Pool, breakfast, friendly manager. Dirty carpets in room.
The breakfast was good. The normal rates are over priced for the age of the facility; but when you can book through an internet booking site, the prices are more in line with what the rooms are worth.
Friendly staff, clean rooms Internet didn't work in my room even though the offer high speed internet.
Mini refrigerator,micro,coffee maker in room. Good coffee and waffles at breakfast Room was next to a stairwell where smokers constantly puffed smoke into our room. Add oat meal to breakfast
Your site will not let me score the hotel properly
They serve a decent breakfast; gravy and biscuits every day, fresh cooked waffles, cereals,yogurt, boiled eggs, fruit, great coffee. And most of the staff was great. One of the staff was a snot nosed brat that was not helpful at all. WiFi was hit or miss. If you can find the Sugar Loaf on Kayak it's a great deal.
Just off highway 97, convenient. Wi-Fi internet too slow, gave up trying to check. Hard boiled eggs on ice-too cold, would prefer scrambled eggs and bacon.
We didn't have bath towels in our room, so I went to the front desk to ask for two. I was told they were still in the laundry room, so another staff member went to go get them for me. She said she'd deliver them to my room, which was great, but she came back with a few pool towels and said they didn't have any bath towels available. I would have liked to be told that I could check back in the morning at the front desk for bath towels -- pool towels are not absorbent, let alone, super tiny. It just seemed a little weird. Also, the pool was open until 10pm, but there are no lights on either around the pool or in the pool. We went at around 9:30 and decided it was too creepy to swim.
Rooms large and clean. Nice comfortable furniture and bed. View of river!
The view outside our room was stunning. It was a very clean quiet place. The staff was very friendly and breakfast in the morning was excellent. I would recommend this place to all my friends. : )
Facilities were great and staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing major, but the couple little things were that the continental breakfast selection was very small. The complimentary drink upon checking in was limited to just hard cider or a house white or red wine. When I checked out the next day I saw cases of microbrews which had just been resupplied. These are both small things, but for the price I would have expected small things to all be sorted out.
This was our first time staying at Pronghorn and we were smitten. The facilities were gorgeous and the grounds are breathtaking. We booked a Junior Suite which was very spacious. Huge bathroom, super comfortable king bed and the gas fireplace was a nice plus. Refrigerator, microwave, whole bean coffee with grinder and coffee maker. Just tons of nice features. We'll be back and book a bigger suite and bring the whole family next time! Super quiet and secluded as well. We didn't want to leave. Not a damn thing.
Muy limpio y luminoso, un servicio amable. Demasiado caro para lo que estás recibiendo.
Amor (la persona de la recepción) fue fantástica. La habitación estaba muy limpia y las instalaciones. El desayuno podría haber sido un poco mejor.
Pillows way to soft. No maps or information in the room. No phone book. Refrigerator not cold and no way to turn it down. No local info in the lobby.
Location was amazing! Size of room was great and super clean. Beds were big and comfortable. Loved the blankets! Heat and AC worked great. I loved te style of hotel and pool/spa area with deck right outside. Elevators were great for the three stories. Staff was awesome. There was a system glitch when I booked online and staff was helpful and kind and got me set up right away. We were able to go to room early at 1 PM which was great after lots of driving. Wish we stayed there all three nights. I definitely recommend. :)
Clean room. Great for having friends over. The bar was great to start and end at. Thanks for the fresh margaritas. Was put into an ADA room without being notified.
Bed was comfortable Breakfast was $10, most other places include it, especially places this expensive. And the wifi was awful. Wouldn't stay connected for more than a few minutes. I could hear other guests' voices and footsteps.
Seemed very clean! Staff was very friendly. I noticed a bunch of things I wish other hotels have had in the past. It's the little things. We had a broken shower head, told the front desk, less then ten minutes we had a new one on. I will be looking to stay at these more when traveling.
Very clean, newer hotel. Nothing
Clean luxurious room
Lots of great perks but my favorite perk was the friendly staff member Joe! He was helpful with things to do and places to eat and always a warm greeting when we left and when we returned! We had a great weekend and will return again! Thanks Joe!!!
Loved the location, staff very friendly, cleanliness!
Located at The Old Mill District (shopping, restaurants, movie theatre, Deschutes River). Staying here is your best bet for parking/easy access during popular Old Mill events. It can get pretty challenging otherwise. It's great to be able to just check in and enjoy an event. No parking madness and no need for a designated driver. FYI: you only recieve one parking pass per room, at least when it's busy. I totally understand why; space is limited. Just don't be caught off guard.
I loved the location. Walking distance from Worthy Brewery and lots of local dining, including Baldy's Barbecue and Hola! They were remodeling and mattresses and furniture was in the hallways and blocking the ice machine and a lot of dust in the hallways and there was not a notice of remodeling at booking.
I was very pleased with my stay at Sleep Inn. The room was nice and very clean. The staff was excellent. The location was close to several restaurants and not too far from downtown. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Just when you thought 2016 was about to peak with a dance-off between Ed Balls and The X Factor's Honey G, the surprise Strictly mainstay has dashed those hopes.
Honey – real name Anna Georgette Gilford – challenged Balls to a dance-off during Saturday night's X Factor live show, after hearing that the former Shadow Chancellor had mentioned her in the press.
"I'd like to challenge Ed Balls to a dance off. Challenge me any day," she said. "He knows where I am!"
Asked about Honey G's offer on ITV's Lorraine, Balls was hesitant to enter into a face-off with the 'North Weezy' rapper.

"I'm afraid, my answer is that I'm trying to avoid dance-offs at the moment."
Speaking to the Daily Star last week, Balls said he was 'aware' of the Honey G phenomenon.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
4 Master Suites with King beds and en-suite master baths the size of most people's master bedroom, includes jetted tubs in 3 and showers in all four. 2 guest bedrooms - 1 queen bedroom and one large bedroom with 4 single beds for kids. Billiards room, piano - (must be requested for access and use), large pool, BBQ, dining for 30. Huge kitchen for entertaining. Access to private golf course, Private Beach Club & Fitness Center, tennis center, equestrian center and over 6 private beaches. Wonderful restaurants on the beach nearby and in Tamarindo. A private chef, cook, massage, daily housekeeping can be arranged at low additional cost. This villa is perfect for weddings (additional rooms available at the JW Marriott 3 blocks away), family reunions, and friend reunions and gatherings. We can arrange for cribs, high chairs, and yes, we are children friendly. Whatever your level of service, our house manager can provide for you at the level you require. You decide what you need, we can arrange it for you, sometimes at additional cost though, depends on your desires.
We are a wholesale independent industrial distributor selling fasteners and shop supplies in Denver, Colorado, USA and have been in business 43 years now. One day we hope to retire to Casa Tesoro. In the meantime, we visit Costa Rica and Casa Tesoro every month for 7-10 days in between rentals and we insure that the house is kept to the highest standards this way.
Pam & Rick Stanley purchased this villa in 2014
This property serves as an estate home for our family, vacation home, and eventual retirement property, one day when we decide to retire from the business. In the meantime, we come down for a week every few months or so, as we enjoy the property and the area, as does our family. Very close to the beaches, all the special amenities of the Hacienda Pinilla resort such as a private golf course, private tennis center, private beach club and fitness center, nearby restaurants at the JW Marriott Resort less than 300 yards away. Tamarindo is so very close (10 minutes) for shopping, more restaurants, gas stations, banking, all of the things you would need while here.
This villa is the estate home we always dreamed of for our own family gatherings for vacation and holidays. The roominess, classic elegance, and amenities of the home are amazing to behold. The pictures do not do it justice. You have to live the experience of this home to appreciate the lifestyle in paradise we have enjoyed. We have invested over $250,000.00 in upgrades to the estate in the past 2 and 1/2 years. Nothing was left to chance. We were proactive in every issue to insure that any potential problem was thought of so that you have nothing to think of, except having a wonderful time at our home. We continue to invest in new things and ideas for Casa Tesoro each and every month. It is our retirement home. It is our home to pass on to future generations and we want to make sure you have a wonderful experience at Casa Tesoro, as our valued guest and hope that you will come back, as so many of our guests do, as they have "experienced" other homes in Costa Rica, that are not as well maintained as our home.
My friends and I stayed at Casa Tesoro for a week in October of 2015. We absolutely loved this house. We went horseback riding, zip lining, surfing, paddleboarding, played golf and tennis, worked out at the fitness center at the private beach club, all nearby. What a week. Best ever.
It's rare when the pictures of a rental home UNDER sell the property. That's the case with this home. As beautiful as the pictures make this home, it's nothing to the real thing. Absolutely stunning and soooooo spacious. All of the furniture including the beds are very comfortable and I wanted to steal the sheets to bring home with me. This is an OUTSTANDING home and I would definitely rent again!!!
We ALL loved your home! I set up a family vacation for my siblings and their families and this home meet all our needs. There were 15 of us and there was plenty of room.
The home has everything you need for a weeks vacation . The kitchen is wonderful! Extremely large and fully equipped. The kitchen and dinning room tables are large and we all fit comfortably. The bedrooms are beautiful- large and the beds are comfy! But the best part of Rick and Pam's home is the pool and patio! We spent many a day enjoying the lovely backyard area.
I would definitely recommend having a car as the house is located a little remote.
I highly recommend this home - I'm sure you will truly enjoy it!
We have been to Costa Rica many times. There is only one thing to say about Casa Tesoro. Best property ever in Costa Rica. Incredible time there.
We just spent the most wonderful week at Rick and Pam's breathtaking villa. I would highly recommend this home as a peaceful, comfortable retreat. It's close to amazing beaches, horseback riding and zip lining. The Costa Rican people are very welcoming and friendly. The wildlife is amazing-especially the monkeys. The home is well stocked and you won't need to bring anything. Just stock up at the local grocery store in Tamarindo. We felt like royalty here. We even tried the personal French chefs one night as the owners' recommendation. What a treat! We are definitely coming back. Thank you, Pam and Rick, for sharing your beautiful home with us. And don't be worried about what you hear about the rain. It was beautiful every day.
Casa Tesoro lived up to all of our expectations and even more. As a group of 15 graduate school students, we were looking for a place with all the amenities in a beautiful location that would be a lap of luxury, and Casa Tesoro is that place. First, the owners, RIck and Pam, are absolutely wonderful. From the moment we agreed to rent the location, Rick sent us contact information, popular sites to see, chef information, and all the useful information one would need when visiting a foreign country for the first time. In addition, he made sure our arrival and departure went as smoothly as possible by providing shuttle information, having the house manager waiting for us upon arrival, and informing the guards at the gate that we were coming. Moving on to the house, Casa Tesoro is honestly one of the most beautiful properties we have seen, and is absolutely impeccable. Upon arrival, the house was clean and everything was ready for us. During the week, the owners had the pool cleaned for leaves, house cleaned (included) and had the property manager check up on us to ensure all was going well. The rooms themselves were beautiful along with the bathrooms and all the common rooms were incredible, especially the kitchen (most comfortable couches I've ever sat on). The only thing that I would provide a word of caution on, is to ensure that you have a rental car if you plan on visiting town frequently as cabs are somewhat unreliable if you order one to the house; otherwise, the JW is a 10 minute walk and has hourly shuttles into town. Definitely hoping to rent Casa Tesoro again and would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone
I debated writing this for months but feel I must to protect fellow travelers from having the same situation happen to them....We have been to Costa Rica 4 times and my family rented this house for 2 weeks in Novemeber. This house is utterly amazing and beautiful for sure. It had all of the amenities you would ever want and I would highly recommend it. HOWEVER, BE VERY AWARE that even though you are in a double gated community with security; we along with another house next to us were robbed at 5am while everyone was sleeping. The whole back of the house is doors and windows and someone in our party accidentally left one unlocked after 10 days of being there and getting complacent I guess. The owner definitely told us to lock doors and set the alarm at night but we felt so safe in the community and didn't expect anything bad to happen. We lost $25,000 worth of computers, cameras and jewelry and the POLICE NEVER EVEN CAME to take a report. Very scary and frustrating. The house has outdoor cameras but the perpetrator just held up a towel over his head as he came in and out 3 times to load up our loot. Just beware that even though you may feel safe in the gated community...you should use every precaution and heed the owners warnings about locking up and setting the alarms every night.
This villa is located in the private resort development of 4,500 acres called Hacienda Pinilla. You will have access to the private golf club, the Hacienda Pinilla private beach club and fitness center, the equestrian center for riding on the beach and the working ranch, the private Tennis Center, and 6 white sand beaches as close as 5 minutes away, some as far as a mile, or so. It is less than10-15 minutes from Tamarindo and all the wonderful restaurants and shopping you would need. You would need to rent a car at the airport in Liberia, about an hour away. There are many activities including zip lines, golf, tennis, fitness workouts, snorkeling, diving, swimming, horseback riding on the beach and the ranch, beachcombing, deep sea fishing, surfing, bike riding, volcanoes, rain forests, wildlife and bird watching, and exploring Costa Rica. The Hacienda Pinilla resort development has every amenity you can imagine and this villa is the best of them all. I guarantee it...

A Magic Opera in Two Acts
Music by Daron Hagen
Words by J.D. McClatchy
The opera recounts the adventures of a boy named Nemo over the course of two nights. Family visitors and the neighbor's little girl are transformed in his dreams into fantastic characters, all of them involved in Nemo's quest to save Slumberland from Emperor Sol, who wants it to be bright, all night and all day. Nemo encounters a crystal enchantress, menacing giants, the impish Flip, the dottering Dr. Pill, along with King Morpheus and his lovely daughter. Nemo's adventures along the way include a floating bed and a balloon ride, dizzying changes of scale and a palace that turns upside down. As they all realize at the opera's end: "We need a world where things are different. / We need a world we can't control, / where nothing is what it seems. / We need a world of dreams."

I thought the hotel was very nice, very secluded and quiet, perfect for anyone who wants to feel surrounded by nature and not be in the center of city noise and people. The distance from Innsbruck was a little far, but the public transportation is just down the hill and very convenient for sightseeing and experiencing the city for a very low ticket price.

lulumum, I love the look of the OM pant as well! Are they luxtreme or if not, do you know what material they are and what price they will be going for? I am looking for more street to studio colours but these might be a nice change too! Did you see them in Canadian stores already? Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
They are swift, so sort of similar to the material in the Miss Misty Jacket but thinner and lighter. They are really nice on and very lightweight. I missed out on them twice and then realized how amazing they were when friends of mine where hunting for them all over ebay.Delete
I haven't seen this round in Canadian stores yet, probably Thursday.
OMG.. I love the OM pant..I have 2 pairs..a black and a grey geometric print from 2 years ago? I think..Have been waiting for there return!! Love them and they are super comfy plus flattering!!!ReplyDelete

A tiny Big Deal: Inserting DNA into a single cell
News: Scientific Instruments August 10, 2013
Once in a while it's important to remind ourselves that not all important advances in science and technology are big (think of the Large Hadron Collider), wide ranging (like stem cell medicine), or controversial (global warming). Sometimes the advances are tiny (physically), quiet (taking place in research centers not in the media mainstream), and incremental […]

The following is the contract signed by veteran defensive end Will Smith with the Patriots, per a source:
Length: 1 year
Total value: $920,000
Base salary: $855,000
Roster bonus: $50,000 (if on roster for first game of regular season)
Offseason bonus: $15,000
Salary cap charge: $595,000
ANALYSIS: This deal qualifies for the minimum salary benefit, which is when the salary-cap charge is lower than the base salary. The minimum salary benefit is geared toward helping longtime veterans land jobs (despite making significantly more than rookies) by lowering their salary-cap charge as long as the base salary is at the minimum level and the total in bonuses is $65,000 or lower. This deal also includes an injury split that would lower Smith's salary to $423,000 should he land on a reserve list. As the deal reflects, the Patriots don't assume much risk here.

Sterile/Bioburden Control Products for Product Filtration
The selection of a correct filtration membrane depends on the stage in the biopharmaceutical process and whether a sterile claim is needed. While the harvesting stages involve a greater amount of dirt filtration, the end-of-process stages are much easier to filter.
Pall recommends that sterile filtration membranes be used in the stages before a storage tank or in late-stage processes, and that bioburden-control membranes be used for earlier stages.
Use the following table to help choose the correct membrane:
Single –use SystemsThe fully automated Allegro MVP single-use system can be used with a range of Pall capsule filters in upstream and downstream processing activities.

Pop/Jazz; Country Without Sequins
By PETER WATROUS
Published: April 22, 1988
Country music, gaudy with sequins and sentiment, is often portrayed as monolithically simple, as if it sprang fully grown, free of outside influences, from the South. But country music's past, like the past of America's other historically complex, indigenous forms - jazz, blues and gospel - is a document of social interaction and movement in America. And, above all, it's an accurate document: through it, we can understand the different intertwinings of black, white, urban and rural cultures, and what the friction and empathy between them has produced.
The four families performing tonight at Washington Square Church are from the Cumberland Plateau of rural Kentucky and Tennessee; many of the family members have worked in factories, farther north in Indiana. The musicians - none of whom now make a living with music - have played everything from the backwoods tunes passed on from generation to generation to rockabilly and white gospel; their financial situations, and interests, forced them into eclecticism.
Tonight, they'll play acoustic pieces that are often for dancing; just as often, it's music to listen to - modal, droning harmonies from the English-Celtic solo-fiddle tradition, as well as single-note tunes that date from before bluegrass and country music existed. They will dance steps, frozen as if in ice, learned in the mid-1800's from touring black and white minstrel shows based in New York. The Anderson family will play, using banjo, guitar and fiddle, in a style heavily influenced by black improvised music from the first quarter of this century; Johnny Ray Hicks will tell tall tales laden with frontier mythology that date back nearly 300 years and are antecedents to the boasting heard in rap music today. Mixing Country and Rock
If the variety on this show isn't enough, a few blocks away, at the Knitting Factory, Eugene Chadbourne, an avant-garde guitarist who first made his reputation performing in New York with the improvisers and composers John Zorn and Polly Bradfield in the mid-70's, will be performing. Mr. Chadbourne, after delving deeply into country music, left New York in 1981 for North Carolina; his performances mix country with rock, noise and New York-styled improvisation, all leavened with ample shots of humor.
Mr. Chadbourne grew up in Colorado, and he had always heard country music. ''In grade school, I was playing guitar, and people like Roger Miller and Buck Owens were all on Top 40 radio,'' he recalled. ''But I couldn't figure out how to play the music, it was too complicated, so I played rock instead. Then I started getting into it again, combining country music with the improvisation that we were all doing on the Lower East Side.''
A typical song by Mr. Chadbourne (who has a reputation as an eccentric, wild performer) will careen from a country yodel to screaming to Louis Armstrong-styled singing, from a block of noise to gentle acoustic songs. He'll play his guitar and an amplified electric rake. ''Combining country and free improvisation was something that hadn't been been done before,'' Mr. Chadbourne said. ''There were direct similarities between country music and concepts we were using in our improvisations, espcially short solos and rapidly changing instrumental colors. And in odd instrumentation: Western swing would use two pedal steel guitars, two violins, a bunch of trumpets; so I was hearing a bunch of similarities. And I was into Johnny Paycheck, who at the time had a wild band that would throw in psychedelic breaks whenever it could.'' Jokes, Songs and Dances
For the show at Washington Square Church, Johnny Ray Hicks, 62 years old, who grew up 18 miles from the nearest town, will be master of ceremonies, singing and telling stories. He's the most active member of the Hicks family, a legendary Tennessee clan that specialized in ballads. His repertory includes some of the oldest English-American songs, about kings and sailing, and Hicks family songs. ''He'll be telling stories,'' said Bobby Fulcher, the folklorist who put the program together. ''Jokes that are 10 years old, or 300 years old. He sings a lot of religious songs. He's preached in church. He's sung in church. And he'll dance dances like the Railing Twist, the Big Apple.''
''I learned to dance and sing from my grandfather,'' said Mr. Hicks. ''We were always playing around; we didn't have no television, no radio, so he taught us.''
The fiddler and banjoist Clyde Davenport, 67, is known as a repository of older songs; he's one of the most admired fiddlers to come from that area. ''His tunes have very distinctive qualities; they're very old,'' Mr. Fulcher said. ''They don't have a regular number of measures, the meter of a tune may change halfway through. Half measures are sprinkled throughout; they're called 'crooked tunes.' The fiddle is retuned so the strings are sympathetic. Drones are employed frequently. Fiddlers will stick in a bass tone. Lots of melodies are in modes you don't hear anymore. The melodies aren't danceable. They were just beautiful melodic creations, full of unexpected turns and twists; it's the most interesting music in the Southern mountain fiddle repertoire.'' Another Musical Clan

You Have No Idea How Big Africa Really Is (But This Map Does)
It's about 11.7 million square miles, which is really big—big enough to fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and much of Europe within its borders. And that's precisely what Kai Krause did with this inventive map, "The True Size of Africa," which he describes as his contribution to "the fight against rampant Immappacy."
What is immappacy? Krause explains:
In addition to the well known social issues of illiteracy and innumeracy, there also should be such a concept as "immappacy," meaning insufficient geographical knowledge.
A survey of random American schoolkids let them guess the population and land area of their country. Not entirely unexpected, but still rather unsettling, the majority chose "1-2 billion" and "largest in the world," respectively.
Even with Asian and European college students, geographical estimates were often off by factors of 2-3. This is partly due to the highly distored nature of the predominantly used mapping projections (such as Mercator).
A particularly extreme example is the worldwide misjudgment of the true size of Africa. This single image tries to embody the massive scale, which is larger than the USA, China, India, Japan, and all of Europe ... combined!

Here's who you would think would be the ideal candidate for voters who proclaim personal morality as their driving principle: A man who is faithful to and clearly in love with his wife, who has only been married once, who is a devoted father, who is deeply religious but doesn't brag about it, who is measured in his language and avoids vulgarity.
The problem for conservative evangelicals is that the politician who fits this description is Barack Obama. As for the Republican field, well, that's another story. Yet the fact that the religious right can't credit Obama for living the type of morally upright life that it purports to promote underscores just how severed its principles are from its politics.
In fact, for a group that expects its leaders to live up to Biblical values, the religious right sure doesn't seem all that keen on monogamy.
All of the three remaining GOP presidential contenders have their baggage…
The GOP has a rich history of adulterous, antigay, moralists. A few examples:
There are plenty of other examples, right up to today. The antigay governor of Alabama Robert Bentley is dealing with accusations that he was having an affair with a top aide despite the fact that Bentley looks like a spokesmodel for Poligrip.
Now evangelicals are all about forgiveness, so they will gladly overlook what the rest of us would call hypocrisy if it comports with their world view. (How else would Kim Davis be taken seriously?) So what if the leading candidate for the Republican nomination talks trashy about women and owns casinos, as long as he holds the right positions? This line of turning a blind eye dates back to Ronald Reagan, who was divorced at a time when that was much more shocking and who apparently married his Nancy when she was already three months pregnant.
But the irony is that the man conservative Christians hate the most is the most moral politician in the pack when it comes to personal integrity. Barack Obama is faithful and clearly in love with this wife and the first couple are raising two amazing kids. Yet the religious right treats Obama as completely devoid of any morals and, at the fringes, declares he's Satan's tool.
The Obama's have a marriage of equals, and one that many couples would envy. Yet Obama has no authority among the religious right because he's the man who paved the way for marriage equality. His political positions void his personal attributes, much the way that sleazy Republican candidates' positions void their personal failings.
So what we're stuck with as a significant portion of the electorate that gleefully touts morality as the foundation of all policy while happily turning a blind eye to the behavior that violates the same morality that its selling. Don't expect that to change in the 2016 election. In fact, we should expect to hear why Trump's shenanigans are the equivalent of Hillary's standing by Bill during his sexual escapades.
It sounds nice to say both sides do it–especially when you know it's not true.

Sadly only in 16/18. Would be very tempted to get one in black if available in M...
Great variety of bras at 50% off !!!
Daily Baby Buys has Womama on sale today with wraps for $50 (size 16 and 18 only), a mix of bras ($30-$36) and briefs ($13-$15.50), and a nightie for $45.
Anyone still looking for a wrap they have them on Ozsale in Black and size SMALL!!! They are $50 plus $9 for postage. I think the sale officially starts early tomorrow (Sat) morning but priority members have access now. They also have some briefs and a number of different bras. Not sure when the sale ends, but they normally go for 2 or 3 days.
If you haven't used OzSale before - from memory I think you have to sign up before you can see the sales, but it is free. If you have a friend using the site, get them to send you a referral email and then they get a $10 bonus when you make your first order. I can refer you if you want, but you would need to PM me your email address, and I'm pretty sure you can sign up without a referral anyway.

Thanks so much Avien!! This is such an old post so I'm surprised you remembered. I just hopped on and bought one for when we have our next bubs.
Just bought one too!!
GRRrrrrrr to OzSale. I just received my 'small' wrap... which is actually a size 16/XL. Not impressed at all and it's going straight back to them. Did anyone actually get a small one delivered?
I have a black one in size small if anyone is interested... just PM me. It's in perfect condition.
I bought it new before DS was born. Didn't use it in labour, I birthed in a hospital gown. I only wore it once... I'm more of a PJ pants and singlet person. They do look much better than PJ pants though and are great for BFing.
EDIT- It has sold.
