Breaking Stride
by DeepBlueSomewhere
Summary: One-Shot, set just after "Make it Home". Jim is trying his best to get over his captivity and torture at the hands of escaped Marakan convicts, but these things are never as easy as they sound. Of course, having an allergic reaction to a simple allergy shot doesn't help much either.
AN: I've been writing obsessively lately, and I wanted to give you all something to chew on while you wait for me to post the next chapter of "Perfect Strangers." This takes place immediately after "Make it Home", so if you haven't read that one first, you may want to. Enjoy!
It started with an itching in his throat, like maybe he'd swallowed wrong or was about to come down with some kind of flu. Being James T. Kirk, Jim ignored this unusual little warning sign because hey, it was just a little tickle, right? There was no need to blow it out of proportion.
It had been three weeks since the final documents had been signed and reports filed to wrap up the fiasco aboard the Arabeth. Even Bones had finally stopped watching him like he was about to keel over at any moment. After a certain number of physical exams and tricorder readings, the doctor had been forced to accept the fact that his best friend wasn't hiding anything from him and was indeed going to survive.
That didn't mean the incident had completely released Jim. Nights like tonight, he'd find himself drifting into a cool, comfortable sleep, only to shoot awake within minutes, clutching wildly at his now-healed hand in the throes of sleep-induced delirium. It had been a very long time since he'd had nightmares bad enough to keep him awake at night, but as was becoming painfully obvious, it took no more than a nudge to send him spiraling back into old patterns. No matter how much he would like to think that he past was buried, the fact remained that it had not been buried very deeply. It lingered close to the surface, and sometimes the slightest scratch could unearth things he wished could be long forgotten.
There was a short list of places the captain usually went on nights like tonight. If he was feeling talkative, the first place was Bones. No matter how tired or grumpy the doctor was, or what he was in the middle of doing, there was nothing he wouldn't drop at a word from Jim. Tonight was one of those rare evenings when Jim might have actually sought out his best friend's company, considering they both got busy to the point of distraction half the time and rarely saw each other lately without effort, but they'd worked the same shift that day, which meant the Doctor was probably asleep. Jim was also hesitant to let his friend in on the fact that he was having trouble sleeping again, a topic of heated contention since the early days of their friendship. Jim couldn't help being unable to sleep; Bones couldn't help worrying about it.
So the next logical place to go was the ship's gym. There weren't many things that could clear Jim's mind like running. Something about the rhythmic movement and getting his heart pumping and his blood flowing made his mind slow down, and half the time that was all he really needed. Once he hit his stride and settled into the sound of whirring fans and motors and the soft thump thump thump of his shoes on the belt, he could run for days. At least, it had felt that way once.
He'd been running for just under forty minutes now, and his T-shirt was soaked in sweat. There was an ache in his bones and muscles that he couldn't really write off to the exercise, and a pounding in his head that usually only showed up when he tried to exercise when he had a headache.
Slowing down, the machine automatically matched his stride as Jim tried to figure out why his body wasn't cooperating. He'd run four miles the day before and he'd barely noticed the aftereffects. Slowing down didn't seem to be helping either.
Catching his breath made him cough a little, and he wondered if maybe that irritating little catch in his throat might be behind this.
Sighing, he spoke to the ship's AI. "Computer, locate Doctor McCoy."
"Doctor McCoy is in Crew Quarters, Delta Sector, room 218."
As Jim had calculated, the Doctor was off his shift and probably dead asleep. His chances to make it in and out of medical without unnecessary fuss were looking good. Besides, now if Bones found out that Jim hadn't been feeling well, he could defend himself with the fact that he had actually sought out treatment instead of ignoring it as he usually did until it exploded into full-meltdown status.
The lone nurse on duty—it was nearing the end of delta shift, after all—looked shocked to see him.
"Captain." The nurse acknowledged as Jim walked in. "What can I do for you, sir?"
"At ease, Matheson." Jim grinned, because he really didn't want anyone getting the idea that he needed any serious medical treatment. "I've been having some allergies on the ship over the past day or so—sore throat, and so on—so I dropped in for a quick fix."
Matheson frowned as he turned to his tray. "Funny, you're the fourth person in today. The engineering crew mentioned something about some kind of fungus in the vents, but I never thought it would be enough to bring anyone in for treatment."
"Fungus?" Jim frowned, wondering why no-one had seen fit to inform him about this yet.
"Yeah, something they found while they were cleaning. I only know because one of the engineers stopped in for an allergy hypo about an hour ago."
"I'll go down and check on it later." Jim frowned.
"Here." The nurse held up a hypospray.
Jim grimaced, but obligingly pulled down his collar to allow the unpleasant tingle to sink into his skin.
"Thank you, Matheson." Jim sighed as he straightened his shirt. "Enjoy your night."
The nurse waved as Jim left, absently rubbing his sore neck. He was astonished he'd managed a trip to Medical with so little complication. He was sure that had a lot to do with Bones being off-duty. He reminded himself to employ that technique more often.
Kirk considered heading straight down to the Engineering deck to demand an explanation for being kept out of the loop, but he stopped himself. Scotty's department was scheduled to do a bi-weekly sweep of the ship air vents, and he needed to relinquish control and let them do their job. If they found anything serious, he had faith that they would follow protocol and come to him to address the matter.
With this theory in place, he headed back to the gym, intent on resuming his run. He was considering how proud McCoy would be that he had managed to wrestle down his tendencies to try to be everywhere at once and manage every little detail, when it first hit him. The dizziness came in a sharp, breathtaking wave that made him weave on his feet and pause, unsure if he could take another step without landing on his face.
It passed slowly, leaving him to wonder what he had just experienced as he carefully resumed walking. He was immeasurably relived that due to the general low traffic in the corridor and the lateness of the hour, none of his crew members had been around to witness his moment of weakness.
He had almost made it back to the gym when it came again. This time it completely upended his sense of equilibrium and he toppled to the floor, breathless. There was a heaviness in his chest that he couldn't account for, and breathing was becoming difficult.
Once again, the dizziness eventually faded away, but the shortness of breath was not as kind.
What the hell is wrong with me? Still half-kneeling on the floor, Jim's mind raced as he tried to come up with a logical explanation for these symptoms, seemingly from out of the blue. His hands trembled slightly where they rested against the paneled floor, holding him up.
It had to be the hypospray. He'd heard of others who insisted that allergy treatments made them tired. He probably just needed to get some sleep. With this theory firmly in place, he pulled himself unsteadily to his feet. If he could make it to his quarters, the dizziness would probably go away.
Trying to calm his racing heart and uneven breathing, he headed back towards the turbolift. A nagging, warning voice in the back of his mind was whispering to him that this feeling was anything but normal, especially as his chest began to feel heavy and constricted. He clutched at his shirt miserably as he hit the doors to the turbolift. If this was what an allergy shot made him feel like, he was fairly certain he would rather just deal with the sore throat next time.
Can't be normal. His mind insisted as the doors opened at Crew Quarters, Alpha Sector.
He could see his door. Some stubborn part of his reasoning insisted that if he could reach the privacy of his own room, he could get this under control. Unfortunately, even this short distance looked like it was going to be all but impossible to cross. He stumbled forward out of the lift, but as soon as his supporting hand left the wall he was pitching forward.
He managed to get one arm under himself awkwardly as he fell, half-rolling onto his side in an attempt to relieve some of the crushing pressure that seemed to have wrapped around his ribcage. A thin sheen of sweat had broken out on his forehead and his breaths were getting shallower and shallower.
Something is seriously wrong with me. The realization finally came. Gasping for breath, he half-crawled towards his door. There was a communicator inside; he could get to Bones.
Black spots were dancing in his field of vision when he finally made it to the door. Grinding his teeth against the now-full-blown nausea, he hauled himself up against the doorjamb by sheer force of will. It felt like he was walking through water, and trying to breathe it too. Jim reached for the manual numeric pad beside the frame; he didn't think he had the presence of mind to speak the command code for the door to open. His fingers shook as he keyed in the code; the small light flashed red. He'd entered it wrong. Half sobbing, half gasping, he steadied himself as much as he could and tried again.
After two more shaky attempts, the door slid open and he collapsed into the safety of his own quarters. If he'd held out any hope that his malady would miraculously ease once he made it in, he was sadly disappointed.
Where was his communicator? Unable to remember, he stumbled instead towards the console on the adjoining wall. Both Spock and Bones had insisted it be installed in case of emergency when he had first assumed captaincy, and he was thanking the stars for their forethought now.
Slumping against the wall, almost hyperventilating with the effort it was taking to draw breath, he stared up at the console blearily. There was a button to medical on it somewhere, but he couldn't remember. Everything seemed so far away.
He had to get to Bones. Bones would fix it. Bones was nearby, just a hallway or two away.
"Crew Quarters," He gasped to the AI, hoping the computer would be able to interpret his slurred words, "Two one eight…"
A soft beeping sound told him the computer was processing his request.
Drained, he let himself slide down against the cool panels. He groaned softly, trying to expand his lungs, draw some air. Anything to ease the horrible sensation of being unable to breathe. He knew he was on the verge of a panic attack; once his mind really caught up with the full-shutdown mode of his body it was bound to happen. The second he tried to breathe and couldn't—it would be over for him.
His lungs hitched; the end was coming.
"Yeah, Jim?" A groggy voice crackled over the speakers.
Jim gasped; he couldn't speak. His vision was fading in and out. What little sight he had left was filled with wildly flashing spots and glimpses of light from the still-open door.
"Jim, answer me." Bones demanded.
Bones. The simple word refused to be said. All he could manage was another pained groan. Iron bands were closing around his lungs. He was gasping wildly for air.
The speaker clicked, and Jim's heart nearly stopped. The doctor probably thought the connection had been a mistake.
No, Bones. Jim's panicked mind screamed out. I need you…
That was it, then. He was about to suffocate, and he'd been within arm's reach of help. He didn't have the strength to reach the wall console again.
His chest seized up again, and he thought for a brief moment that he had just drawn his last breath. Jim tried to quell the spike of panic; he couldn't let himself die this way, gasping for air on the floor of his own room. Slowly—too slowly—his lungs expanded once more, letting him try again to take in as much air as he could through shallow, panicked gasps. He was dripping with sweat now, shaking like a leaf.
Without warning, his stomach surged. He barely managed to turn his head before his stomach was violently bringing up what little he had consumed at mess that night. The combination of seizing stomach muscles and lungs that wouldn't cooperate left him gasping and hyperventilating. He could feel tears running down his face.
Pathetic. He told himself, even as he sobbed for breath, trying as hard as he could not to suffocate on his own mess. He couldn't stop heaving.
Somewhere far away and distant, he thought he heard the sound of footsteps, the touch of hands pulling his aching body up and relieving some of that terrible building pressure on his airways.
"Jim!" A voice called through the dancing lights and pounding sound in his ears.
"Bones..." Kirk groaned, wincing inwardly at how damn pathetic that sounded. He turned and heaved again.
Large, cool hands were on his face, his neck, his forehead. Even dead, Jim would have recognized them.
More voices tried and failed to cut through the haze of pain and shadows. There was the sound of a communicator, a rustle of fabric, and the hiss of a hypo. If it had been used on him, he was too far gone to feel it.
"Medical, where are you?" Hearing must have been coming back, because Jim could hear McCoy snapping into a communicator. Sight came slowly with it; his friend was half-kneeled on the floor, arms wrapped tightly around Jim. "You're okay, Jimmy." He crooned softly when he caught Jim's confused gaze. "You're okay." The doctor's eyes were lined with worry, his hair and uniform a rumpled mess. Jim knew he must have woken him up, and he felt a surge of guilt.
"Sorry, Bones…" He slurred softly.
"Sorry? What the hell are you sorry for?" The medical officer's chuckle had the ring of desperation to it as he tightened his arms around the captain, one cool hand supporting his head. "Almost dying again?"
Jim sighed, his whole body relaxing as breath came easier. He'd never realized how much he took for granted something as simple as breathing.
"I almost didn't make it to you this time, Jim." Leonard sighed softly, leaning in to press his lips to the top of Kirk's head. His emergency medical kit was laying in the doorway, tipped on its side as its contents spilled out on the floor.
Again, Jim realized how much he must have scared his friend.
He wanted to apologize, wanted to thank Bones for saving him for the hundredth time, but the doctor seemed content to sit there rocking him gently and words just wouldn't come. And then there were more footsteps, and shadows in the doorway. McCoy directed the medics inside.
Jim couldn't protest as he was lifted onto the obligatory stretcher. He was at the point where he knew that if he had a few minutes to catch his breath, he could probably walk down to medical himself. Bones' hypospray was working wonders in his body, relaxing coiled muscles and quelling the sickening nausea. At this point, however, he simply wasn't going to argue.
He grimaced a little, mortified at his own humiliating display as the doctor gently wiped the sweat and vomit from his face.
"How're you feeling?" McCoy looked into his eyes, another hypo in hand, clearly unwilling to believe that one shot had been able to work such a miraculous change in the captain.
"I'm okay, Bones." Jim mumbled, and it was true. He was feeling almost back to normal, besides being soaked in his own sweat and exhausted to the point of passing out. His head was pounding too, but he knew that was just the aftermath of his panic.
"I'll be the judge of that." The doctor tried to smile; it was a wry, worried expression that failed miserably and vanished almost as quickly as it had come. "Drink." He lifted a glass of water to Jim's lips, and the captain swallowed his pride as he drank greedily. The cool water felt amazing as it trickled down his tortured throat.
When Kirk had drained the cup, Bones gestured to the two medics. "Let's go."
Jim let his eyes slip shut as he was carted back down to medical. The ride was short, but the motion of the lift and the lights flashing overhead through his eyelids definitely brought back some of the nausea. When he opened his eyes again, he was in sick bay and Bones was hovering over him.
"Tell me what happened, Jim." The doctor was working on another hypospray.
"I don't know." The captain swallowed, trying to cleanse his scratchy throat and find the energy to articulate. "One minute I was down here for an allergy shot, and the next thing I knew I was—well, you know how I was."
"Allergy shot?" McCoy frowned, and then picked up the tricorder he had only just set down. He studied it for a moment, ran it briefly over the base of Jim's neck, and then swore to himself.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"What?" Kirk wasn't sure he liked the doctor's tone.
"Who was on duty down here when you came down?" Bones demanded.
"Uh, Matheson, I think." Jim frowned. "Are you going to tell me what's going on?"
McCoy was swearing softly under his breath as he abandoned the hypo he'd been preparing and picked up a new one. "Idiot gave you treatment without looking up your file, is what I'm guessing."
"How is that a problem?" Jim tried to talk from behind closed eyes; the lights of medbay were obnoxiously bright.
"You of all people should know." McCoy scoffed. Another hypo. "You're allergic to half the medical treatments in the galaxy, remember?"
"So you're saying… I just had an allergic reaction? To an allergy medication?"
"That's what I'm saying."
Jim sighed heavily. "Just my luck."
McCoy was already on his communicator, demanding that the offending nurse be hauled out of bed and back into medical for a dressing-down.
"Don't go too hard on him, Bones." Jim cracked his eyes open to ask. "I didn't think of it either."
"It's not your job to think of it." McCoy snapped, still on residual emotion from his call. "Matheson is a professional, on a federation starship, and he goes by protocol if he wants to keep his job. If you'd been any more stubborn or if I'd been any less paranoid, you probably wouldn't be alive right now."
McCoy was right, and Jim had no argument to offer. After a moment of watching the doctor stew in silence, he nudged his arm to bring him back to the present. "So, can I go back to my quarters now?"
Leonard looked miffed. "Well, it seems that your reaction has been countered and your condition is stable, but if you know what's good for you, you'll stick around here for the night."
"We both know that I have no idea what's good for me." Jim grinned.
"Ain't that the truth."
They were interrupted when Matheson entered sick bay, accompanied by two security officers and looking about as half-awake and alarmed as Bones had half an hour ago.
"My office." McCoy snapped. He didn't wait for the younger man to follow.
The nurse sent a panicked look at the bed where Jim lay. "I'm so sorry, Captain. I had no idea—"
"I know." Jim tried to be reassuring. "It's okay. Don't let him give you too much flack about it."
Swallowing, the unfortunate man followed McCoy into his office.
Sighing, Jim let his eyes slide shut again. He wished the doctor would go easy on the man, but had a feeling that he wouldn't.
In the meantime Jim was determined not to spend another night in medical if he could help it, but he was drained past the point of exhaustion now. Having confirmation that his body was done rebelling against him didn't hurt, either.
He was out like a light before he could come up with a good reason for staying awake.
He awoke to the odd sensation of floating. He realized he was still on the stretcher, and that it was moving. The lights above disappeared, and he recognized the ceiling of his own quarters.
Voices to the left and right faded in and back out, and he was being lifted gently onto his own bed.
"I can walk, you know." He mumbled sleepily as McCoy's face came into is line of vision.
"Sometimes I have to wonder." Leonard smiled. He looked exhausted, but most of the tension seemed to have drained out of his shoulders. Jim was glad to see it.
The doctor finished tucking Jim under the blankets like he was a sick child, and then sighed heavily.
"Sorry for almost dying again." Jim laughed tiredly into his pillow, wanting nothing more than to pass out for a couple of days.
"Your nine lives are running short, kid." The doctor smiled. "And so are mine. You've given me enough heart attacks to kill me three or four times."
"I thought we'd reached nine a while ago."
"We probably did."
Sighing sleepily, Jim lethargically patted the pillow by his head.
"Come on, old roomie. There's room for two."
The doctor looked skeptical. "Well, maybe for just a minute. I need to go finish up some paperwork before I can sign out for the night." He grumbled excuses even as he climbed on top of the blankets.
"Captain's orders." Jim mumbled into his pillow, turning onto his stomach and throwing one arm over McCoy's chest to keep him there.
"You're such a little kid."
"Shut up." Bones harrumphed. "Go to sleep."
"Well, I was working on that. But you were being so noisy."
"Hey, I'm not the noisy one here. It's not my fault I've got to babysit you to get you to sleep. Now shush."
Jim didn't hear anything after that.
He woke up late the next morning in exactly the same position he'd fallen asleep in. Bones was exactly where he'd left him, too. His head was lolling back off the pillow, mouth open as he snored softly. He looked ridiculous.
Jim grinned at the sight, and lifted his sore arm off the doctor. He felt a little guilty that he'd kept Bones awake and miserable for most of the night, especially considering how little rest either of them got as it was.
He remembered countless nights they'd spent this way back at the academy. McCoy had taken it upon himself at some point to ensure that Jim learned to get a full night's rest, and often remained with him stubbornly through the night—after a full day of studying and classes and training, it wasn't unusual for them both to pass out on a couch or bed or even on the floor. He wondered now, as he'd wondered many times before, how Bones had ever managed to get this close to him.
Lifting one hand, Jim gently poked the snoring medical officer in the side of the head.
The effect was instantaneous, and McCoy started awake at the touch. "Wha—?"
"Morning." Jim grinned devilishly.
Bones scowled at him, rubbing his neck. "And to think, you didn't even buy me dinner first."
Jim blinked. "I thought that was my line."
"Maybe I picked it up." The doctor smiled. "How're you feeling?"
"Wasn't your fault." Shifting uncomfortably, the doctor sighed. "Though maybe it is your fault you have such an uncomfortable bed."
"Didn't expect to be sharing it with anyone." Jim smirked, trying and failing to dodge the backhanded slap the doctor sent his way.
"So are you going to tell me why you were awake last night?"
Jim sobered instantly. "Wasn't on my schedule, no."
"Jim." Leonard sighed, a touch of exasperation creeping into his voice. "I thought we weren't going to play this game anymore."
As usual, Kirk's first line of defense warned him to make a joke, change the subject—something. But after remembering what he'd put the doctor through last night, he knew he owed it to him to be honest.
"Been having a little trouble sleeping since what happened." He admitted quietly, hating how weak that sounded.
"It's not surprising. Heck, I've been having trouble sleeping."
Jim looked up in surprise.
Bones gave him a look. "Come on, it's not like I'm invincible either."
Jim smiled softly. "Yeah, that's true." He flexed his hand automatically; it was becoming a habit he needed to break. "Just keep remembering."
"You're safe." Leonard replied seriously. "You made it out, and you're not going to have any permanent damage. It might be easier if you can learn to focus on details like that."
The captain nodded. There was no need to go into all the gritty details; Bones knew what had happened. He'd treated his wounds and spent hours healing the gaping hole in Jim's hand where he'd been repeatedly stabbed. He knew about the events of both weeks ago and years ago. He had learned all too well what set Jim off and what it usually took to cool him down. He knew, or at least had an idea, of what Jim dreamed about at night.
"I'll get through it." He glanced at the medical officer. "I've done it before. Just a little harder to shake the memories than I thought it would be."
"I know." Leonard's eyes were soft. "But you're a fighter, kid. I know you'll be alright." He smiled a little. "And for the times that you're not... well, that's why I'm here."
Jim smiled back. "You're such a softy, Bones."
"You're the little sissy who needs a teddy bear to sleep at night."
"You just called yourself a teddy bear."
Jim managed to get the pillow over his head before Leonard attacked him.
All angst and fluff, I know. I couldn't help myself. :]

text: Today, on the 27th of February 2016, we see a thirteen year-old child in her room. She's smiling, which would mean that she is happy. Or that she is faking her smile and she is actually not happy. But let's not dwell on that too much. What is her name?


text:
When Jason asked me what I wanted to do for Mother's Day, I was vague. "I don't know." One moment I'd mention the zoo. The next moment I'd suggest Burgerville for lunch (and can I just say that now that we are in the hub of Burgerville-land, I know I will gain 20 pounds consuming their milkshakes. And fries. And Tillamook cheese burgers). But mostly I'd just shrug my shoulders.
In case you didn't know--but probably do if you have children--shrugging shoulders is rarely a good answer. It doesn't do anybody any good.
The one thing I did know: I wanted to sleep in; I wanted puffy oven pancakes; I wanted a card.
This allowed my morning to play out perfectly. I slept in and woke to the smell of baked deliciousness smothered in syrup. Sydney gave me the card, and since she had picked it out then it was, naturally, a singing card. She adores singing cards and would get them for everyone she knows for every occasion of the year, and I would generally comply if they were just a little bit less expensive. So the adorable card sang me a song, and we all danced around to it, and then as it ended, I pushed the little "PS" button and heard Syd's sweet recorded voice: "Happy Mother's Day, Mom! We love you!"
And my eyes teared up a little, and I was delirious with love. The sunlight streaming through the windows, the mug of hot tea, the dancing, the song, the voice from the card, the laughter of the girls--it was just what I wanted.
That's what I want to remember most about Mother's Day. That moment.
Unfortunately, for a lot of the other moments of the day I was in an inexplicably bad mood. It wasn't Jason's fault, although in poor form I took out most of my agitation on him. We picked at each other, and I was a beast. I very much did not deserve a holiday dedicated to me.
Even now, my chest is tight with angst over the day. I was--to put it bluntly--torn in two different directions. One the one hand, I wanted to do nothing. Absolutely nothing. I didn't want to see anybody. I didn't want to do anything or go anywhere. I just wanted to take a nap and drink tea.
But on the other hand, my youngest brother was in town from Seattle, and I wanted to see him. Jason's parents were coming over, and we wanted to have them over. We are so grateful for my mother-in-law's presence in our life. Sis-in-law Sarah was having a dinner shindig, and I wanted to see her family. None of these things conflicted with each other for time. The afternoon and evening played out perfectly.
That part of me still wanted to do nothing. And so I was grouchy. Bad Mama.
When the day was finally over and I crawled into bed, I was relieved. It was too hard to have a day where I was supposed to do whatever I wanted to do because I'm really not that good at deciding what I want to do. I smirk when I think of my bond with skunk cabbages: I was totally skunky. In a stinky way.
Fortunately, I have the singing card to remind me of that moment before I ruined everything.
And fortunately I also have these pictures that Sarah took of my brothers and me. Andrea was in Hawaii, so didn't make the photo-op, but the three of us hammed it up for the camera. The fedora is...inexplicable.
We don't know where that fedora came from, but it makes for a good prop.
What is most unusual about this picture is that Tyler, my younger but not youngest brother, is giving a regular, nice, pleasant smile for the camera. Of the three of us, he's the most likely to make a goofy face at the camera. And yet here? He left Jake and I to look like the goofy ones. (And, yes, I'm posting this picture as penance for my Mother's Day attitude.)
I love these guys. Which is good since Tyler and I get to be neighbors until we drive each other crazy. And even when that happens we'll still probably stay neighbors.
So, on the one hand, I didn't get what I wanted for Mother's Day. But on the other hand, I got exactly what I wanted and more.

Alpha -amylase is one of the most important and widely used enzymes, in food and beverage industries. The alpha-amylase presently used in starch saccharification requires calcium for activity and/or stability. The thermostable alpha– amylase produced by the actinomycetes strain Streptomyces erumpens is calcium independent.In this book, the process optimizations and production of alpha –amylase by this strain in solid state- and submerged- fermentation, and its applications in starch saccharification to sugar, for conversion in to lactic acid and ethanol have been discussed.

Last year, in May alone, there were 267 tornadoes across 25 states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In all, there were seven weather and climate disaster events in the U.S. in 2013 resulting in 109 deaths and losses of more than $1 billion per event. It's critical that businesses are prepared for severe weather emergencies.
OSHA and NOAA encourage employers to create an emergency plan, train workers on these plans, stay aware of weather forecasts and keep emergency supplies at the ready. Below is a list of some of the basics every business should have in their severe weather emergency kit.
- Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
- Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
- Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- First aid kit
- Whistle to signal for help
- Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
- Wipes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
- Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
- Manual can opener for food
- Local maps
- Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger

Triple bill of Swedish crime dramas based on the novels by Håkan Nesser following 60-something divorced detective Van Veeteren (Sven Wollter) and his team. In 'Borkmann's Point' (2005) Veeteren, alongside Police Chief Bausen (Lars-Erik Berenett), works to find the link between two brutal murders in order to identify and catch the killer before he strikes again. In 'Münsters Case' (2005) Veeteren's colleagues Münster (Thomas Hanzon) and Moreno (Eva Rexed) lead the investigation into the murder of a wealthy man. The man's ex-partner is arrested but Münster believes there is more to the case than meets the eye. In 'Moreno and Silence' (2006) Moreno looks into the ritualistic murder of a girl who had recently left a religious community. When another girl disappears Moreno must race against time to find the culprit before it is too late...

Research Group of Population Biology (IBED-PB)
We are witnessing a period of increased species extinctions and biodiversity loss, not in the least as a consequence of human activities. Yet, humans strongly depend on many ecosystems and the services provided by them. To mitigate the consequences of these losses, it is paramount to understand and predict the ecological and evolutionary processes that govern the persistence of populations and communities of interacting species that comprise ecosystems. To this end, the Section Population Biology studies the fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes that link individuals, populations and communities of plants and animals. We specifically focus on developing an empirical and theoretical basis for understanding how the phenotypic, genetic, physiological, social and spatial structures of populations affect their persistence and that of communities of species. This knowledge is tested and put to practice by focussing on experimental systems with a clear applied component, predominantly consisting of herbivorous and predacious terrestrial arthropods, plants, and their microbial pathogens.

The shrinking of device dimension leads to reduction of gate oxide thickness. Because of this the undesirable hot electron effect and the gate tunneling current is increased. For Double gate MOSFETs, two gates control the potential barrier between the source and the drain terminals effectively, and the short channel effects can be suppressed. In DG structure, the electron current density corresponding to the two applied gate bias voltages (Vgs-front, Vgs -back) influence each other, and both cannot be neglected. The greater current density is obtained underneath the higher biased gate. Also the channel underneath the higher biased gate ends abruptly. The silicon-oxide interface corresponding to the lower biased gate has a lower current density. This leads to the assumption of two different channels having two different pinch-off points. In Dual Material Gate MOSFETs, metals with different work functions M1 andM2 amalgamate together laterally in the gate.

The shooting death of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum is looking less and less like a textbook use of deadly force and more and more like an execution. As PolitiStick has previously reported, Finicum and other protesters were stopped en route to a townhall meeting to discuss the federal occupation of lands in Western states. After articulating to law enforcement agents that he intended to proceed in order to speak with the sheriff, Finicum continued-on and eventually encountered a roadblock.
While attempting to go around it, Finicum hit a snowbank and frustrated, emerged from the vehicle with his hands up repeating his assertion that the militant force should shoot him or otherwise let him proceed to the sheriff.
The Oregon State Police officers shot him dead. Six shots were fired and three hit Finicum. While in his vehicle, the FBI fired two shots at Finicum, but failed to report their use of deadly force for over a month. The FBI's involvement is now under investigation.
Still, both the FBI and Oregon officials have maintained that the shooting was "justified and necessary" as Finicum was in possession of a 9mm firearm in his coat. Agents maintain that Finicum reached for the weapon, however, aerial footage of the encounter does not clearly suggest that he did.
On Tuesday, video taken from inside Finicum's truck by a passenger was released and it shows an agitated Finicum arguing with officials before the deadly encounter.
On Wednesday, authorities released the autopsy report for Finicum which affirms what the aerial footage appeared to show: Finicum was shot in the back multiple times.
The autopsy report can be seen here and it indicates that Finicum was shot in the shoulder with an entrance through the back, through the chest with an entrance through the back and through the abdomen with an entrance through the back.
Unbelievably, though the wounds were fatal and Lavoy Finicum died at the scene, authorities handcuffed his arms behind his back on the dead body before bringing Finicum's body to the morgue.
It is purely undeniable that Finicum, in his last moments, remained defiant regarding the authority of the militarized presence to accost the armed protesters who had demonstrated nothing but peaceful resistance of the federal occupation of Western lands.
However, does his distaste for federal tyranny, constitutional violations and extreme police militancy warrant a death sentence?
Under layers of clothing, Lavoy Finicum was in possession of a handgun. Alleging that he gestured to this handgun only discovered after he was dead, Oregon State police agents opened-fire and shot the man in the back multiple times and inexplicably handcuffed the dead man.
If the purpose of the deadly federal and state response to the Bundy protesters was to showcase that these protesters were unreasonable for maintaining that the government has become overbearing and tyrannous, there could be no better way than to prove the validity of the protesters' argument than by sieging-upon a convoy and shooting a man in the back multiple times.

When Sylvie Serfer met Richard Woodruff in law school, she had wild curls, wide hips, and lots of opinions. Decades later, Sylvie has remade herself as the ideal politician's wife--her hair dyed and straightened, her hippie-chick wardrobe replaced by tailored knit suits. At fifty-seven, she ruefully acknowledges that her job is staying twenty pounds thinner than she was in her twenties and tending to her husband, the senator.
Lizzie, the Woodruffs' younger daughter, is at twenty-four a recovering addict, whose mantra HALT (Hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired?) helps her keep her life under control. Still, trouble always seems to find her. Her older sister, Diana, an emergency room physician, has everything Lizzie failed to achieve--a husband, a young son, the perfect home--and yet she's trapped in a loveless marriage. With temptation waiting in one of the ER's exam rooms, she finds herself craving more.
After Richard's extramarital affair makes headlines, the three women are drawn into the painful glare of the national spotlight. Once the press conference is over, each is forced to reconsider her life, who she is and who she is meant to be.
Written with an irresistible blend of heartbreak and hilarity, Fly Away Home is an unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who after a lifetime of distance finally learn to find refuge in one another.

Weiner (Best Friends Forever) weaves a forgettable family drama with three weakly connected storylines: mother Sylvie Woodruff long ago sacrificed herself to become the perfect politician's wife, but the revelation of her husband's infidelity sends her off to reconnect with her old self. Her daughters aren't faring any better: recovering addict Lizzie is pursuing an interest in photography, but a childhood incident continues to trouble her; and dutiful older daughter Diana, an ER doctor, is escaping her blandly offensive husband via her own affair. The three women's crises function in parallel, and Weiner is unable to keep the narrative tension going when she hops from one character to another, largely because their issues are so tidily resolved and the women are never in real emotional danger--Sylvie's husband's affair is a "one-day story," Lizzie's narcotic slip is to take a couple of Advil PM (and an apology resolves the unresolved past), and the breakdown of Diana's marriage is dispatched as easily as Diana making a resolution to change her life. The lack of conflict and strong characters, and the heavy dose of brand names and ripped-from-the-headlines references, make this disappointingly disposable. (July)
Selections for the sultry season
Reading in the summertime has a different pace. Life slows down as the weather heats up, leaving readers with more time to savor a special book. Whether you're heading to the beach, cooling off in the mountains or simply relaxing at home, add one of these recommendations to your summer reading list
Author Sharyn McCrumb has forged a successful career by dipping her pen into the inkwell of Appalachian culture and conveying the region's stories to the rest of the world. A resident of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains herself, McCrumb has the unique ability to paint mythic portraits from the past and present of the people who call this region home.
Her latest offering, The Devil Amongst the Lawyers, skewers folks who distort the truth, notably big-city journalists who have arrived in 1930s rural Virginia to cover a murder trial. The case makes headlines only because it contains sensational elements sure to sell papers: A beautiful, educated young teacher is on trial for killing her coal-miner father.
McCrumb introduces two veteran journalists, Rose Hanelon and Henry Jernigan, as well as their accompanying photographer Shade Baker, as the vultures that promptly descend upon Wise County as soon as the accused, Erma Morton, is booked for the crime. Instead of communicating the facts, these three will relay whatever headlines are most likely to increase the paper's circulation. In Rose's own words: "What you emphasized and what you omitted told the viewers what they ought to think of the subject."
There is one honest, fledgling writer in the ranks of gawkers as the court case unfolds. Newbie reporter Carl Jenkins struggles with separating fact from opinion as he tries to make a name for himself.
Readers may recognize Jenkins' young cousin, mountain psychic Nora Bonesteel—introduced in McCrumb's beloved Appalachian Ballad books—who arrives at Carl's urging to help forecast the trial's outcome.
McCrumb demonstrates her usual mastery of historical detail and pointed description of place in The Devil Amongst the Lawyers, a finely spun tale where neither guilt nor innocence is evident until the final page is turned.

Does anyone create more likeable characters than best-selling author Susan Isaacs?
I thought my favorite Isaacs heroine was a toss-up between feisty Amy Lincoln, the investigative reporter in Any Place I Hang My Hat, and suburban amateur detective Judith Singer of Compromising Positions and Long Time No See. But now, after reading Isaacs' latest, As Husbands Go, there's a new contender.
Susie B. Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten lives on Long Island with her four-year-old triplets and husband Jonah, a successful plastic surgeon, doting father and devoted husband—which makes it kind of strange when he turns up murdered in the apartment of Manhattan call girl Dorinda Dillon, stabbed in the chest with a pair of scissors.
Anxious to solve the high-profile case, detectives quickly determine that Dorinda is the culprit. She's arrested and charged, but Susie can't shake the feeling that everyone—police, prosecutors, her own family—is missing some piece of the puzzle. To make matters worse, her high-society mother-in-law has suddenly become Susie's biggest critic, accusing her of pressuring Jonah to work too hard to maintain their comfortable lifestyle. And neighbors are gleefully (but not subtly) whispering about this unexpected turn of events for what seemed like the perfect family.
With her usual keen eye for detail and humor, Isaacs takes a hard look at the sometimes impenetrable, often absurd social politics of upscale New York. Susie is a winning heroine: wry, smart and self-deprecating. Fast-paced and immensely satisfying, As Husbands Go is a novel about a woman trying to prove that her charmed life was no fairy tale, and in the process learning a lot about herself.

If nice guys always finish last, then David, the hero of Chris Binchy's American debut, Five Days Apart, is doomed from the start. Sweet and unassuming, he has navigated his college social life by hiding behind his gregarious friend, Alex, an immature heartbreaker who never seems to take anything seriously. Then, at a party just before graduation, David is struck by a woman in a way he never has been before, and he turns to Alex for romantic help. But Alex is as smooth as David is awkward, so he inevitably moves in on Camille himself, leaving David devastated.
David graduates from college and outwardly does everything he should—he gets a job in a bank, earns praise from his superiors and becomes a grown-up. But he can't forget Camille, and eschews any attempt to get over her or meet anyone else. Meanwhile, Alex and Camille have moved in together, though Alex is sputtering through his stalled college career and can't seem to make any real commitment either to her or to himself. David isolates himself, from the world and particularly from Alex, and the demise of their lifelong friendship and David's staggering loneliness is detailed with particular insight.
Binchy—a bestseller in Ireland and the nephew of beloved author Maeve Binchy—tackles the age-old issues of love, friendship, loneliness and ambition with a surprisingly nuanced hand. There are some flaws here—the story is so simple and timeless that it doesn't always feel completely fresh, and David's total social paralysis undermines his narrative sympathy at times. But where Binchy excels is his subtle commentary on this new generation, clearly stunted by an unparalleled amount of choice. The ways in which David and Alex treat their freedom—and friendship—is fascinating, far beyond their conflict with Camille, and their dilemma makes this perceptive debut stand out from America's lackluster lad lit scene.

Francesca, Louise Shaffer's heroine in Looking for a Love Story, won the publishing jackpot. Yesterday she was an unheard-of writer. Today she is a best-selling author. Now the publisher is panting for a sequel, but when Francesca fires up her laptop, she is met with radio silence. For months. And as that sound of silence becomes all-consuming, her very handsome husband moves out (or on). The only thing sticking by her side is her dutiful dog, Annie, and the few extra pounds inertia brings to someone frozen in fear of failure.
And it is Annie who jumpstarts this tale. After all, a dog that lives in a Manhattan condo must be walked. And fed. So income must come from somewhere, even if the dog's owner has writer's block.
After several ill-fated attempts, Francesca finally lands a freelance writing assignment with "Chicky," an old woman who wants to tell the story of her 1920s vaudevillian forebears. To Francesca, it sounds a bit lame, but a job is a job. Then for some inexplicable reason the characters start to get into Francesca's blood. Words flow effortlessly onto the page. But Chicky holds a mighty big secret that sets the stage for life lessons that will smack Francesca right between the eyes and, to her delight, squelch that radio silence.
A story all tied up in a pretty bow? No, but you'll find several real love stories from the past and present smoothly braided together in this light, dreamy read.

No one would call Sloane Crosley's first essay collection, I Was Told There'd Be Cake, juvenile, but her second effort, How Did You Get This Number, is decidedly more grown-up. It matures, say, from a fabric scrunchie to a sleek hair clasp without losing any of the can-you-believe-this-is-actually-happening-to-me moments. Crosley, who lives in New York City and is developing her first book as an HBO series, writes like your enviably witty, completely chic friend who also swears like a sailor when relaying a story.
Crosley begins her essays with captivating leads, the first sentences telling stories of their own. In "Light Pollution," a small anecdote flourishes and crescendos, taking the reader from an Alaskan car-trip musing to a baby bear's shocking mercy killing. "An Abbreviated Catalog of Tongues" details her family's escapades with pets—from a stingray named Herb to a blind bichon frise to a series of birds that died mysterious deaths. And finally, the collection's title comes from "Off the Back of a Truck," in which Crosley has a perfect working relationship with a dishonest furniture store worker and a not-so-perfect relationship with a handsome writer named Ben.
Crosley writes like a student of literature, figuring out along the way which techniques work, which words are funny and how seemingly separate storylines parallel. She seems to unravel the morals to her own stories aloud, while the reader almost embarrassingly listens in. Her stories are joyful and nostalgic, but above all, they are really funny. Her new essay collection, like the last one, should be taken on trains and planes, read on the beach, shared and enjoyed. Crosley is going to be around for awhile; best to get on board now and say you knew her back when she bought furniture off the black market and played charades with Portuguese circus clowns in Lisbon.

Jennifer Weiner's Fly Away Home opens with a scandal: a philandering senator caught with a much-younger mistress. But after the familiar headlines fade, a broken family flounders in their wake.
Weiner creates realistic characters in the senator's wife, Sylvie, and daughters Lizzie and Diana, all central to this story of unraveling and rebuilding relationships. Sylvie, who has long abandoned her personal ambitions to buoy her husband's political aspirations, faces her newfound independence with a mix of joy and trepidation. She finally has the opportunity to pursue interests like cooking, dating and mothering the daughters she overlooked while trying to be the perfect politician's wife, but she finds that freedom isn't always what it's cracked up to be.
Meanwhile, Lizzie and Diana are dealing with their own set of problems: Lizzie, a recovering addict, tries to prove to her family that she's not a lifetime screw-up. However, she gets herself into a predicament that could grease the hinges for a relapse. Diana, a successful doctor, wife and mother, struggles to maintain a pristine exterior while her own loveless marriage deteriorates.
While the subject matter is heavy, Fly Away Home isn't a downer. Weiner's light touch, especially evident in Diana's sarcastic dialogue as well as with the amusing Selma, Sylvie's Jewish, feminist mother who never lacks an opinion, makes this a quick and engaging summer read.

In 1995, Nick Hornby gave a gift to music geeks everywhere with High Fidelity, a charming novel with a hero who somehow knew all the same obscure B-sides that they did. In 2007, music journalist Rob Sheffield picked up where Hornby left off with his heartbreaking memoir, Love is a Mix Tape, about, in equal parts, Nirvana and the crippling loss of his young wife, Renee. Now Sheffield is back with the same encyclopedic knowledge of pop music and touching, resonant prose in Talking to Girls About Duran Duran, this time tackling two profoundly painful topics—adolescence and the 1980s.
Growing up a nerdy Catholic boy in a Boston suburb, Sheffield turned to music for the same reasons as everyone else: to fit in, and to be able to talk to girls. He doesn't really achieve either goal, as a hilariously awkward conversation with one potential conquest attests—she assures him that while he is sadly destined to remain a geek for life, thus giving him no chance with her, one day he will meet "others like him." It's an oddly poignant moment, and pinpoints what's so special about Sheffield's writing—sheer recognition, for anyone who has ever felt a little bit different.
Amid Sheffield's adolescent angst, too, is incredible, almost stream-of-consciousness commentary on 1980s music, from total one-hit wonders to the phenomena of David Bowie, Boy George and, of course, Duran Duran. The minutiae of his musical mantras can feel overwrought at times, overwhelming the seemingly effortless charm of his childhood stories, from an idyllic summer job as an ice-cream man to his awe for and helplessness in the face of three younger sisters. But fans will appreciate his total nerddom and value his impressive knowledge of and, above all, raw emotional response to music.

The grounds of Amara are beautiful. Red rocks serve as a backdrop to the pool/hot tub and common area. I liked that it was a small hotel and not too crowded. They have a wine hour every evening which was fun (but the trade off is no breakfast in the morning). The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The young guy with glasses at the front desk made a big deal of announcing we booked our room through a "third party" on arrival (through Kayak's Getaroom). Not sure exactly why he made such a big deal of that fact, but let it go. When we got to our room we saw that it had two double beds instead of a king size bed like we had reserved. I went back to the young guy at the front desk to ask for the correct room and he said it wasn't the hotels fault and that I would need to take it up with Getaroom (once again making a bid deal of booking through a 3rd party). His customer service skills were very weak and he would benefit from additional training on making guests feel welcome and comforting. FYI: The hotel allows pets and we heard dogs barking in the morning. Didn't bother us too much since we were early risers due to jet lag, but if you're looking to sleep in you may want to find another location or specify you want to be far from rooms with pets.
Rooms were comfortable, location was perfect No complaints whatsoever
The Amara Resort was surrounded by the breathtaking views of the Red Rocks of Sedona and was surrounded by many local stores. I would especially recommend the restaurant at the hotel for a great and healthy breakfast. We were also pleased with the car service which was nice when we didn't feel like walking. The only thing I would've liked is to have a slightly larger pool, since the pool was extremely crowded and there wasn't much room to swim.
We loved the location. Walking distance from all of the unique shops and restaurants in Uptown Sedona, but also very quiet and relaxed in a beautiful setting beside the creek. The service was amazing! We also loved the fact that the valet service is included and there is a complimentary shuttle service to anyplace within 1 mile away. The price may be a bit high.
great staff, clean modern room can't find something to complain about
Parking service and the guy at check in were very good Shower did not work it was only hot water there was something wrong with it's faucet and the girl at check out just said she would let engineering know and that's all, you spent more than $400 on the hotel and not being able to shower?
La habitación era cómoda, la ducha y el baño limpio, la habitación muy limpia. Nada de lujos, pero necesitábamos un lugar para alojarnos. Excelente ubicación, fácil de ver desde la carretera. Volvería de nuevo.
Por el precio estaba muy bien. Muy limpio y está situado en el centro de la ciudad. Baño pequeño
Location is great. Within walking distance of the Hillside shops. The trail rooms are newer, larger and nicely layed out. The beds/bedding are nice and comfy. Bathroom needed some updating/care.
The location is great, especially being able to walk to Elote for dinner. Beds were very uncomfortable, and although I applaud the management for wanting to have eco-friendly rooms, it wasn't worth rough towels, crummy toiletries, and toilet paper that seemed as if it had been beamed in from Soviet-era Russia.
Great location and loved the heated pool and spa. It was near downtown and shops. It was very relaxing. Nothing really. They were doing renovations to the motel they bought next door but when its done it will be good to.
The four members of the staff that I met were very friendly and accommodating. Can't beat the location. U can walk to Tlaquepaque.
Location and price. Outdated room. Thin walls. Dirty balcony.
First of all, Andy from the front desk was super accommodating, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. She did a wonderful job making us feel welcome and helped us get the most out of our stay. The hotel provides awesome cruisers which I now know (after many years of visiting by car and foot) is the best way to get around the uptown/oak creek area of Sedona. The bed was super comfortable and the only thing that made me get up out of bed was the idea of the bike ride! The restaurant on the property had excellent margaritas, corn hole game, and the hotel property has a cozy fire pit and ample seating. They even offered late checkout which was wonderful! I will return! It's a little strange some of the balconies are shared but I will ask for a room without a shared balcony next time. Also the table had some dried coffee on it and there was a bunch of construction, the hot tub was not working but I didn't know there was another hot tub on the other side of the property :/
We went to Red's two times and once a friend in the group was told there was a 5 drink minimum and he was cut off. He wasn't even driving and he was still told this. We went to get coffee the morning we checked out which was about 10:50am. We got coffee and sat down and a lady named Rose came over and took away the coffee. We asked why she was taking it down (because it was 10 til 11 and we were told there was coffee until 11). She rudely said "Well, its been here since 7am". We got up and walked out. I'm sure they were upset because we weren't eating breakfast there we were just getting coffee that was part of the $22 per day resort fee. If the staff at Red's is going to get upset when customers get the coffee and nothing else, you should move the coffee into the lobby. Not impressed and we wont be going back.
The location, staff, room were top notch. Everyone had an attitude of caring that the guests had a great experience. We paid extra for a premium room, but had a view of the roof top air conditioning and heating units. Guests of the rooftop observation area next to these units, in turn, had a view of our room. No view of any red rocks from our room. Also, there are no icemakers and you have to go to the restaurant when it is open for ice. May be uncomfortable if you find yourself underdressed to go to the restaurant.
When we checked in the staff was courteous and friendly, they accommodated us to a better room just by asking! Also, getting free appetizers during our stay was a plus! I wish I would have known about the expansion project going on but it didn't really affect our stay. I'd like to go back and see the finished section.
The view from the third floor rooms were great for the Red Rock. It was a solid 3 star hotel, but fading. Dingy and hesitant to provide service. Rooms were not cleaned unless you forced a request, bar staff was unskilled, and the Spa services (massage good, meditation weak). Towels and robes looked over worn, and service was slow. Seems like it needs an update and new management.
Staff, amenities , and little things like bottles water
Location Spa Services Beautiful room
Foam pillows Pool and hot tub were way over clorinated.
Gorgeous view from our terrace. Great staff. No elevator, the pillows.
The views, hot tub, pool, exercise room, guestvroom with fire pits and outdoor space
Location Old property that needs a lot of work.
I was not happy with the pillows. They were small and not comfortable. The TV made a crackly noise and almost every channel.
Convenient to downtown Sedona, recently remodeled, comfortable beds, beautiful furnishings, easy to find, owner is obviously experienced and gracious excellent breakfast and good recommendations for local food. no tub in suite, only shower, but she said one of the rooms will be redone in the spring to include a tub.
Great location Over priced for quality of rooms
Great view of Oak Creek Canyon and red rock country. Close to shopping, restaurants, etc. Nothing
Rooms were clean, views exceptional, staff pleasant and accommodating.
view, view, view! bathroom is a bit outdated.
The Website pictures are very diferent from reality
Great location in town with beautiful view to wake up to. Right next to Pink Jeep Tours which are great. Very helpful front desk. The mattress wasn't great (not firm) but that could just be a personal thing.
Me sorprendió encontrar este ligar que parecía una perrera...perros ladrando y aullando, una molestia grande. Me atendieron después de tres llamadas a recepción... no me dijeron esto cuando nos registramos...
El personal, los servicios, el spa, y las vistas eran de cinco estrellas. El Hilton Bell Rock sin duda me tiene como cliente fiel. Me habría gustado haberme quedado más tiempo.
Muy ruidoso. La habitación de la foto no era la habitación que nos dieron. El personal no era nada amable.
Muy cómodo y con buena relación calidad-precio Me hubiera gustado tener una lámpara de escritorio en la habitación, el aire acondicionado es ruidoso cuando funciona.
Everything about Bell Rock Inn was great from the room, to the service, to the grounds, to the price and the scenery in Sedona, AZ.
The location was perfect for hikers because you could walk to the trailhead. The pool was awesome. If you stay in a first floor room, you can hear people walking and chairs moving above you (loudly).
Really nice facilities. The room was very nice, location was excellent, price was excellent.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. I liked that the Bell Rock had two separate pool areas- one which includes a jacuzzi. The pool areas were very nice, and my two children really enjoyed swimming and using the jacuzzi after a busy day around town. The hotel grounds appears to be kept up really well, with lots of greenery and fountains on the property. The room was very comfortable and well kept. Our room had a kitchenette-although we didn't cook during our stay, I did notice that the kitchenette was well stocked with pans and a decent selection of utensils should we have needed them. Although the hotel is right off of the highway, it was very quiet and we heard no traffic noise our entire stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept great! We had family members who stayed in another hotel closer to downtown Sedona. When they came to visit us in the evening at our room, they expressed wishing they had booked at the Bell Rock Inn instead. This hotel seemed all in all to be a great value, and we would definitely stay there again.
The view , pool area , staff wAs there for any needs Location of the ADA room
They wouldn't give me the room I paid for because my charge card for the deposit on the room didn't work. I had to go next door and pay for another room and guess what, my charge card worked there. I was robbed and want my money back
We were very pleased with the hotel. It was specially surprising to find a fully stocked kitchen in our studio rental, everything we needed to cook fabulous dinners after hiking around Sedona. The best night was grilling steaks poolside and eating it outside at the gazebo. Made for an epic vacation. The "concierge" tried to sell us a time share and tried to convince us to go to their two hour thing. Just don't make eye contact with the concierge in your way in or out.
Friendly front desk and maid service. The rooms were clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Well stocked kitchenette. Room service only once a week which I actually liked. Nice pools. Beautiful location. I would recommend it to anyone. Beware of the concierge desk in the lobby. They will try to rope you into a timeshare presentation. I really wish the Kayak description would have mentioned the hotel was actually a timeshare. Story time. My girlfriend and I had just driven across the country from PA and just wanted to get to our room. Check in was great and easy with the front desk. On the way out, however, we got trapped by some "friendly" guy named Doug or something behind the concierge desk. He started off by saying "you are going to be glad to see me". Let me tell you, after driving 36 hours, I wasn't. He proceeds to give us coffee and other goodies and showed us a map of the town. All this was fine. He then inquired on what we were planning on doing while in Sedona. I was exhausted and didn't feel like indulging my plans to a stranger and just said "Idk, hiking and stuff." He took this as we didn't have anything planned so he started telling us he was going to gift us a "free" jeep ride. All we needed to do was go to a "90 minute" presentation. It isn't a gift if I need to do something for it. He then started trying to book me a time to go to the timeshare presentation without asking me if I was even interested in going. I flatly told him I wasn't interested in going to a timeshare presentation and I would never be interested. Boy did his friendly persona change. He defensively said "Well you told me you didn't have anything planned" and tryed to make me out to be the d**k. Then when I apologized for not wanting to go to a timeshare presentation he smugly said "Well you do know this is a timeshare hotel, right?" I said no, Kayak did not tell me it was and he just smirked and said have a great day. My sour interaction with him put me in a huge funk for the first couple of days. If you can try to avoid the concierge desk do it.
amazing location with incredible view of rocks understaffed. unable to leave front desk to bring cot to room for child. who had to "camp out" on the floor with couch cushions
After a long day of class it felt like I was coming home. The telemarketing messages left on my room phone that was from a local spa.
Location Checkout time Incompetence oof checkin and out staff.
The location was lovely in that the rooms look right onto Bell Rock (although you do have to peer over another hotel, which disrupts the natural feel a bit). Our room (a Queen) was tastefully decorated in a Native American theme, and reasonably spacious The food was quite unhealthy, making it unsuitable for us so we had to skip it and eat in town. Never even met the owners - very hands off and zero service.
views WORST MATRESS we have ever slept on - in fact, couldn't sleep it was SO bad - what made matters worse was that the TV cable was not working so couldn't even watch TV while awake all night CANNOT RECOMMEND and will NEVER go back
View Spa cold... No instructions to use... No one available. This inn is converted home in residential neighborhood... Dated decor... Deferred maintenance...bath sink did not drain properly... Fixtures dated.
We were greeted by Ron, the owner, who welcomed us and showed us to our room. After a brief rest, we went down to the pool, which was small but refreshing. There was ample seating around the pool area. After a dip to cool off, we went back up to our room and dressed for dinner in town. Upon our return, we explored the very ample DVD library, and took a movie back to our room to enjoy on the HDTV. The room was comfortable and clean, and we slept well following the movie. Breakfast was prepared and served by Ron, his wife Cheryl, and another young lady whose name we did not catch. It was plentiful and very tasty, consisting that morning of juice, fresh strawberries, french toast and sausage. Delicious. Coffee, tea, iced tea and ice water were available in the lobby anytime. We will definitely return when we come back to Sedona. This place is a gem.
The rooms are wonderful but the owner, Ron, has the worst attitude problem. My friend and I were going to make this an annual vacation, but thanks to Ron's nasty attitude we've decided to take our business elsewhere. I believe a vacation should be filled with great memories and outstanding customer service. Ron was rude and he ruined what otherwise would have been a superb time.
Location, friendly, provided bathroom deordant Breakfast didn't meet expectation, very small TV, no individual control of heating/cooling, access to parking very poor.
The location of this inn was amazing. I was able to get in a 3.5 mile run and find local coffee within a 1 mile radius as well. The breakfast was perfect for someone who eats gluten and dairy free food and they made it too order.
la cercania con el cañon, lo vale y justifica todo Los baños son sucios, la ropa de cama y el restaurante es muy malo
Que está en Sedona Arizona Que no cumplñieron su palabra de respetar el tipo de cuarto que uno escoge.
Location was great. Right on the creek, with places to walk around. DQ right across the street. Allows pets. Nice to be out of Sedona and away from all the tourists. Quiet. Definitely want to come back with my family or friends and rent a bigger unit. Most rooms have jacuzzis and late at night, the pipes in our rooms were making some crazy and scary noises! We plugged up the tub and put a towel over the drain which stopped it but it was super weird. Room was a tad small, but fine for my boyfriend and I. No cell phone service here!
I loved the personal service that the staff provided from recommending restaurants to helping with directions. The traffic at certain times of the day was difficult, but that wasn't the hotel's fault.

Marine Audio is HERE!!
By Joe S. on 2016-05-23
As the season starts again in the Chicagoland area the question starts 'What kind of boaters are you?" As there are different kinds of boats, so sweeping generalizations are worth about as much as a fishnet windsock. That said, if you see a little bit of yourself in this profile, it might help you create the perfect marine audio system. Just Basic, Fisherman, Boat Party or Fast & Loud? We have all the best names in the Marine Audio Industry as WETSOUNDS, Fusion, Kenwood, Alpine & Pioneer. When your looking to just replace a few speakers & upgrade your headunit & you're seriously into audio, we carry a vast array of outstanding gear that will make your boat sound great. But for some people, a receiver and a decent set of speakers will do. For the avid fisherman we don't have scientific proof of this, but we're pretty sure that screaming speakers and thumping subwoofers do not attract fish. If you're more concerned with what's biting than what's playing, your boat doesn't need to be an audio powerhouse. For the Big Boat Party sometimes we just want more sound, more bass & want better control. Wetsounds has the best of these features & works incredibly well with tower speakers, led light speakers, & exceptional sound bar-none!

SS Dresden (1896)
|United Kingdom
|Port of registry:
|Harwich - Hook of Holland (1897-1915)
|Earle Company
|17 November 1896[1]
|Out of service:
|21 January 1918
|General characteristics
The SS Dresden was an English passenger ship which operated, as such, from 1897 to 1915. She is known as the place of the 1913 disappearance of German engineer Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the Diesel engine. The ship was built in 1897 by the Earle Company at Hull for the Great Eastern Railway. She operated on the North Sea route between Harwich and the Hook of Holland.[2] She was renamed HMS Louvain in 1915 and was used by the Royal Navy in World War I.[2] until her loss in 1918.
Diesel's Disappearance[edit]
On 29 September 1913 Rudolf Diesel, German engineer who invented the Diesel engine, boarded the Dresden at Antwerp, Belgium on his way to a meeting in London.[3] He retired to his cabin about 22:00 with a request to be called at 06:15 in the morning, but he was not seen alive again. Later a Dutch ship found a body floating in the sea and from the items and clothes recovered the remains were identified as Diesel's.[3]
In 1915 Dresden was taken over by the admiralty as an armed boarding steamer and renamed HMS Louvain.[2] On 21 January 1918, she was torpedoed by the Imperial German Navy submarine SM UC-22 in the Aegean Sea[4] with the loss of seven officers and 217 men.[2] There were only 16 survivors.[5]

If I'm feeling lazy on arrival, I take a taxi, though that costs far too much. When I'm in London I occasionally get taken out for lunch. My favourite place is The Gay Hussar in Greek Street, W1 (071-437 0973), where I used to go with my husband when he was alive. Today I eat in the Peers' Dining Room, House of Lords, but I don't like it much because it's a bit public school. You sit on these long tables and you're supposed to take the next empty seat. I prefer the members' cafeteria in the House of Commons, where I get a jolly good plate of roast lamb and veg for pounds 1.95. It's nice to be able to entertain friends in the Peers' Guest Room. They serve a good tea, specialising in toasted teacakes and blackcurrant jam.
Back home, I enjoy going to the woods in Hampden with the dogs. There are usually three dogs in the house, including my little golden cocker. They have a lovely time on the river bank - it's a doggy paradise.

Greek Food Fish and Seafood
If you take a look at a map of Greece you will see why fish is such an important part of the Greek diet.
The cheapest fish are sardeles (sardines), gavros (anchovies), kolios (mackerel), gopa (bogue) and marides (smelt). Also in this inexpensive category are kalamari (squid), though the frozen variety which is usually, if not always, imported from California, China and other far away places. When kalamari is in season they will tell you on the menu that it is fresh. When cut and fried it is usually frozen but fresh kalamari is grilled or fried whole. In the kalamari family is also thrapsala which to you and I looks like a squid and tastes like a squid but is not a squid.

The Car of the Future, Today
No matter how much automotive technology advances, it seems like the one constant was that they ran on gasoline. We switched to leaded gasoline to get rid of engine knock, switched back to unleaded gasoline when we realized how dangerous leaded was, and recently have started experimenting with electric cars, but the vast majority of cars are still powered by gas. Toyota aims to shake things up with the 2017 Toyota Mirai, the car powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
