Local businesses fight through summer grind
Fewer CSU students equal less commerce for businesses around campus
As owners, general managers and employees all expected, business is once again down at a few popular restaurants on and around campus at Cleveland State University, following a three-year trend.
Some of the most prominent places for students to hang out, grab a bite to eat or even enjoy a drink around the CSU downtown campus are all experiencing a familiar decrease in business because the majority of students are off for the summer semester.
The low revenue in the summer has come to be expected, co-owner of Café Ah-Roma Michael Hostutler said.
"We are not upset about having less business in the summer, that's just how it is," Hostutler explained. "However, due to having less business, we are forced to make the proper adjustments for the summer. When school is out we reduce staff as well as inventory to accommodate for the low number of people coming in to the restaurant."
The amount of sales at Café Ah-Roma has dropped 25 percent ever since the CSU spring semester ended, Hostutler added.
"It is the same thing every year with nearly identical numbers," Hostutler said. "We rely heavily on CSU, and we know when the students are finally back from vacation we will be fine."
"September is our best month," Hostutler said laughing. "It can't come any sooner."
Just down the street, Rascal House Pizza is also feeling the effects of having fewer customers in the area.
A couple of different things factor into why business is down at the Rascal House, General Manager Chuck Leggett explained.
"The Euclid Corridor project did not help, school being out in the summer hurts and the overall state of the economy right now all factor into it," Leggett said. "We expected slow business, and while things are not terrible, they could be better."
There is no more real flow of traffic, Leggett said.
"With the buses and the construction of the new student center, the flow of traffic that used to come through has really been eliminated," Leggett said.
While Rascal House Pizza is missing CSU students, some things have helped this summer, Leggett said.
"CSU has had basketball and volleyball camps this summer, so a lot of the kids attending those have stopped in for lunch, which is real nice," Leggett said. "And many of the construction workers who are working on the new student center come by a lot to grab some pizza so that has helped too."
A brief check at Becky's on East 18th Street appears it has slowed down with business as well this summer.
Nights are slower than usual, but the afternoons have virtually the same amount of business, one bartender who wished to remain anonymous, said.
"We are open most nights until 2:30 a.m. and most times that is when you see college kids from the university," the bartender said. "Some summer nights have definitely been slower."
With just one month before the fall semester begins, the co-owner and general manager are still excited about the summer and the next few months.
"We still have a lot of CSU faculty and staff coming in, which is great," Café Ah-Roma's Hostutler said with a smile. "And no matter what time of year, our lunch hour from noon to 1:00 p.m. is always packed with people who want a great lunch."
"For the students that are down here at CSU, they know they get great deals," Leggett said, referring to the 12 percent discount CSU students get with any purchase at the Rascal House. "We are excited for the fall and winter because this is a fun place to be. We are looking into having some pre-game parties for basketball games and other events, so we expect business to be back and booming when the students get back on campus at the end of August."

Hi all - is the seconds->date limitation bound to the underlying OS arcitecture? I noticed that date->seconds can return numbers outside of the range for seconds->date, and wonder whether seconds->date can be expanded to handle the greater range easily.

Exclusive Qantas Airways remains on target to return its embattled international business to break even, despite recent pressure on air fares, chief executive Alan Joyce said.
Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia X have added flights to Australia. "Certainly in the traffic statistics we are reporting at the moment, international yields are down," Mr Joyce said.

Style: 39897822 Colour:
Swingy and semi-sheer sleeveless tunic featuring pleat detailing at the bust with a brass ring hardware. Keyhole opening at front bust and a hidden zip closure in back. Made in Philadelphia.
Nice top, glamorous spin
Ordered a large, my normal FP size and it fits fine, - a little bit tight at the top of the zipper, but not I'm big busted, wide shouldered, so I'm happy it fits there at all. What I really like about this top is, it can top a pair of jeans, and be equally effective with a midi-skirt for a semi-dressy event, and all it needs jewelry-wise is a pair of dangly earrings. Love it.

Buddhist Warfare, argues Wharton, forms an accurate history of violence in the name of religion.
His place was southeast Texas in the 20th century, Wharton and other small towns like it.
So in the end, another crop of 35-year-old Wharton and Harvard MBAs gets to spend their multimillion-dollar windfalls.
Instead Wharton decided to reach for literary heights and provide not just voyeuristic pleasure but a great and tragic heroine.
A Wharton M.B.A., she was the former CEO of the digital advertising agency Digitas, and she quickly set about revamping the unit.
"We'll let it go at that," Mr. Wharton returned ambiguously.
Then he added by way of an evasion from any difficulty with Wharton.
Miss Wharton found her, and asked if she was having a good time.
"I wish her all happiness," said Mrs. Wharton, without emotion.
He did write to Mr. Wharton, but in doing so he altogether laid aside that flighty manner which for a while had annoyed her.

Hahaha I was just thinking that! You never worry so much about what you're eating when you've got endorphins buzzing around your system, and if ever there was a workout to make you feel happy and skinny....

Right it's Monday morning and I managed to get out for a 3 mile run at 6.30am. So I should be able to get this eating under control too. Work is going to be a bit manic I think but I'll cope, holiday is nearly upon us, AND I think I'm going to the countryside this weekend to stay at the boy's parents' cottage while they're away!!! Exciting times
My only concern is I've had stomach cramps for a few days, can't tell if it's from eating gluten or my body adjusting to life not on the pill....I wish my TOTM would just come and I'd know everything is okay hmm. Seeing the dr on weds morn anyway.
Ok everyone, have a great day!

Ladies who were talking about the Pill - I saw the Dr this morn re getting an IUD fitted. It seems like a good option that doesn't involve hormones and if I'm one of the lucky ones who has no problem with it I'll be sorted for years. She did the swabs so I'll hear next week (pretty sure I don't have an infection...!) and then will book it in. Exciting!Last edited by Livlytique; 06-27-2013, 12:19 AM.
Sorry, what was fun?

Oh I still manage to eat shit. It's just usually from WholeFoods with 'healthful' claims...
Hello Livlytique,
I just came across your journal, and thought I'd say HI!!
I'm in Canada but lived in England for 25 years, worked in London, lived near Guildford - loved it!! Was pretty healthy then (so I thought) as I had horses so did ALOT of the Heavy Lifting without really realising it!!!
I also noted you've come off the pill - as someone that did that 2 years ago, after being on it for 20 odd years, it took me a full 12 months for my cycle to regulate, but I felt tonnes better pretty quickly. Never taking hormones again if I can help it! It all takes time, and they say 'time takes time'.... So just a thought!
How's your sweet tooth? I found cutting all fruits and sweets was the key to crushing the addiction, and when I had an apple on Monday it was so lovely, but I've not had one since - I've - I hope - lost the cravings. Just a thought.
Anyway, hope all is well in Blighty

Had a good grin about your being a dirty stop out good for you! Ahh the rush at the start of a relationship is so exciting! A weekend in a cottage sounds amazing. Don't stress about the eating... the extra exercise and cortisol flush will deal with that hehe!
So I've been off the pill a week and a half. I haven't stopped bleeding yet which is an annoyance but my head already feels clearer. Hope you have a better experience with the coil than I did. I bled for 3 months, cried every day and developed acne for the first time in my life. However I was quite severely overweight at the time and had pcos so I don't think my symptoms were normal. We're going old fashioned and resorting to condoms. We've even had the talk and should I fall pregnant unplanned we're fine with that it. In fact we want to save a deposit and buy a house so we can start a family. On cloud 9!
Still have no drive to exercise
Can't wait to hear about your blossoming romance!
4 mile run at 6.15 this morn!!
Although I'm now feeling super tired and like I'm getting run down from the work stress... going to start on the echinacea today!
B - two boiled eggs, some pineapple & watermelon with yoghurt, a couple of bites of bacon, coffee, a few almonds
L - salad box (veg, tuna, chickpeas)
S - satsuma, soya yoghurt thing (better than crisps/chocolate!), cup of tea, banana - been a mental afternoon at work and wasn't sure I'd get dinner so just stuffed some food in my face when I could!
D - honestly, just a bowl of lettuce when I got in lol wasn't hungry, running off adrenalin!
So the boy had a car crash. Which just topped off a crazy stressful day. He's fine, the car not so much, no idea if our weekend plans will go ahead... Don't know how to feel, he's not been very responsive and I'm sure he's in shock and just trying to chill at home, but there's this horribly selfish part of me that's like ahhh tell me everything's fine and we're still going on our little trip and reassuuuuure me!!! Such a princessLast edited by Livlytique; 06-27-2013, 02:22 PM.
Wow what a day!
Work has gone over to the client after lots of stress and adrenalin this morning. Followed by a boozy lunch with a friend who can expense it to celebrate ha. And the boy has a courtesy car and all's good for our weekend away
I will definitely reply to you, Cat and PinotGirl, I just think I need a minute to take a breath, process everything, and enjoy the weekend!
No exercise yet today...
B - two eggs, coffee
S - a few almonds
L - tapas-y bits and half a bottle of red wine - babaganoush, halloumi, greek salad, pork belly skewers, prawn/scallop/salmon skewers, beetroot & creme fraiche, olives, and a croquette and a bit of flatbread. Not totally gluten-free but not awful either!

Four cars were destroyed and a fifth badly damaged in a concentrated attack by a firebug in Melbourne's St Kilda that caused about $100,000 in damage early today.
Tony Prysten was in bed when he heard a commotion outside his Vale Street home in St Kilda about 1.45am.
Moments later he heard a series of pops then a large blast.
''It exploded, there were quite a few big bangs, it was full-on,'' he said.
Mr Prysten went out into the street where he discovered his Ford Escape on fire, one of five cars torched in a two-block radius.
Police said the two first cars were set alight in Vale Street. Fire crews extinguished the fires within 10 minutes, but both vehicles were destroyed.
Fire crews then extinguished a mattress burning in the front yard of a home in Vale Street, before they were called to another car fire in nearby Smith Street, just after 2am.
''The car was totally involved in fire,'' said senior station officer Lynch-Wild.
''Flames were jumping five metres in the air. We put the hose on that but then a passer-by came up to us and told us there's another car a hundred metres up the road that's on fire.
''We went up and put that one out but it only had minor damage,'' he said.
''They were all sorts of cars. One was a Pathfinder, one was a Mazda 121 ... There wasn't any particular kind of car that was a target.''
A fifth car in Blessington Street was also hit by the arsonist and destroyed.
The damage to the cars and other property was estimated to be about $100,000 by police.
Police said nobody was injured in the fires and are appealing for public assistance to help find the culprits.
Mr Prysten said his family had planned to take the car on the ferry to Tasmania for the Christmas holidays.

Best Of :: People & Places
Yes, it got flooded for quite some time this spring. Yes, it was muddy. But let's face it: You know it's the best dog park when people ignore the "closed" sign and hop fences in defiance of rain and muck to bond with their pups, mutts and AKC breeds. The small and large yards of the White Rock Dog Park are large enough to accommodate a healthy population of both under 30-pound and over 30-pound four-leggers, plus the swim section provides a different sort of canine fun (a ramped entrance helps fetchers return their sticks, balls and toys to dry land). Maintained by public donations and volunteer efforts, the WRDP is open daily from 5 a.m. to midnight (second and fourth Mondays are closed for maintenance) so even parents with bizarre schedules can snag some off-leash time for their fur-babies at the park.
We've sung the praises of the Lakewood Texaco several times in our Best of Dallas issues over the years, and yeah, it's still a great gas station day in and day out. But every year on some random Sunday it becomes something more when the joint hosts one of its famous block parties, inviting neighbors young and old and fostering a sense of community rarely to be found in a gas station parking lot, or anywhere in Dallas for that matter. It's an anything goes, multi-cultural kind of affair—with live bands, a dunking booth, belly dancers and promotional beer girls all on hand to help the citizens of East Dallas feel a little closer for an afternoon. Here's hoping the new owners—who took over for the beloved Boueri family several months ago—keep the tradition alive (hint, hint).
For years, AllGood Café owner Mike Snider has booked well-respected and much-revered Americana and folk artists to the venues of Deep Ellum. These days, at his restaurant, he continues to do just that. It's a homey place, seemingly fit more for Austin than Dallas with its flair for memorabilia and its general hippie-ish attitude. Does that make the place stand out among Deep Ellum's rock clubs? For sure—but not in a bad way. Rather, AllGood is unique because the music played there fits right in with the restaurant's vibe, rather than with what's popular right this minute. You'll see folk, Americana, country and, yes, from time to time, your standard coffeehouse fare. But under Snider's discerning eye, you can rest assured that it'll be good. Oh, and by the way: the food? It'll keep you coming back even if Snider's taste in music isn't up your alley.
From the tiled bar to the dark, mellow atmosphere to that ridiculous neon windmill on the roof, there's nothing contrived or even remotely close to pompous in this place. It's a neighborhood bar reminiscent of the little Manhattan dives where regulars know each other and call the bartender by name. And no wonder—the owner, Charlie, hails from the Empire State and makes the meanest New York deli sandwiches in the city. Seriously. We recommend the Reuben, but they're all perfection, especially after a long night of Jack and Cokes. Not only is there rarely a crowd of annoyingly drunk and entitled patrons, but the jukebox is one of the city's best, with hundreds of discs including Iggy Pop, Prince, Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and John Lee Hooker. What more could you want for last call?
Amazing drinks including a rotating schedule of featured drafts and bottles from the globe over. Incredible food from the favored steak sandwich to brunch. Monthly five-course beer dinners. Validated parking. Comfy high-backed booths. DJ nights. Friendly and fast servers capable of suggesting a drink to pair with food or food to pair with a drink. Reasonable prices often punctuated with drink specials or half-price food nights. Great location. Diverse crowd. TV choices perfect for a buzzed stare. The only thing that could possibly be better would be if The Libertine was located in a futuristic force field where all food and drink had no caloric effect on thighs or impending beer guts.
One Sunday afternoon not long ago, we sat at the MBar in Neiman's NorthPark Center location watching with great affection and no small amount of awe the care with which Jose Mejia mixed up his homemade Bloody Mary brew. On the counter sat a small vat of tomato juice; nearby, there was a large glass filled with Worcestershire sauce, into which he added generous dollops of Tabasco sauce, followed by the juice of freshly grated horseradish and several heaps of the white heat. He sniffed each container before blending them together for yet another smell test, then a taste test. "This way," he said, "you don't need salt, just vodka." He grinned, then poured us another refill, into which he dropped a stalk of celery the size of a baby's arm. We muster myriad excuses to belly up to the Mbar—most involving Sunday-afternoon football games on the three TV sets perched in front of the six stools, providing a welcome respite from the hubbub of overpriced commerce nearby—but, truth is, there's no better place to drink or eat or drink in the entirety of NorthPark; and Mejia, who's stood watch over the bar since its inception four years ago, is as generous and considerate a host as any afternoon mall drinker could ask for.

Rick And Merle Undergo Emotional Shifts On 'The Walking Dead'
Last Sunday's episode did spectacularly in the ratings. Even the Oscars couldn't keep TWD from being the highest rated non-awards ceremony program on television.
Note: Spoilers ahead.
A major awakening for Rick? If you've been keeping up with the show you know that Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is straddling the line between reality and fantasy. His hallucinations of Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) are effecting his leadership skills and the group is beginning to question his sanity. Well, Lincoln told the audience at Paleyfest that Rick gets a mirror held up to himself on the next episode.
This could mean that we will see Rick come to some serious realizations and possibly move on from his hallucinations. But does it mean that we will see him actually consider stepping down as the group's leader? Since season one it's pretty much been a Rick-tatorship and if he decides to step back someone else has to step up.
Merle gets emo? And the prison's newest resident, Merle (Michael Rooker), might experience a little change as well. Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl, said that Episode 12 will showcase a more sensitive side of Merle. We find it a little hard to believe that he has a sensitive bone in his body but we're excited to see a different side of the character.
With an war on the horizon, the group at the prison might want to get their act together if they hope to stand a chance against the Governor (David Morrissey) and the citizens of Woodbury.
Flip through some shots of TWD at PaleyFest 2013 above.
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9PM on AMC.
What do you want to see happen with Rick and Merle on this next episode?
Watch again below: Andrea gets a chance to kill the Governor.

The Case for Affirmative Action
Program #STRN002. Recorded in Boulder, CO on April 22, 1997.Few government programs are more maligned and misunderstood than affirmative action. What it does and doesn't do is shrouded in misconceptions. Few realize that women benefit most from the program. Women doing the same work still earn considerably less than their male counterparts. The percentage of women in senior management positions is minuscule. Racial discrimination remains persistent as recent incidents with Texaco and Wendy's attest.

Riyadh (AFP) May 3, 2010
Saudi officials ordered schools closed Tuesday after heavy rains and hail sparked flooding and paralysed traffic in Riyadh.
Violent thunderstorms shook the normally arid Saudi capital Monday afternoon, flooding underpasses, stalling cars and blocking traffic, according to accounts from residents, television reports, and video footage on the web.
There were no official reports of injuries. But with meteorological officials warning of more storms Tuesday, Riyadh region governor Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz ordered schools to remain closed.
"Due to heavy rains in Riyadh and warnings from the Department of Meteorology of the possibility of more heavy rains, Riyadh governor Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz ordered the suspension of schools Tuesday," a statement posted by the official SPA news agency said.

When an international owns Google, we're all in trouble.
Imagine if Rupert /phonehacker/ Murdoch bought it.
On the other hand, what could you possibly be saying that would be of any import? If you're a terrorist, the NSA is already sweeping it all through that box in the AT&T office in the City on Mission.
You'd never post bank account information of any type in any email.
If it's trade secrets, your company already has some security (should.)
That leaves your boyfriends.
Hate to burst your bubble, but no one cares.

You can very well try it,open an account,write an email,then delete it.If you want to retrieve it late,you can ask the company to do that,they store it somewhere in their web sites, but you can be certain they won't do it for you,because there will be consequences,i believe. Once started to do that, there will be no way to go back.

Will they sell the information? If I send an email to a friend commenting that I need a new stove, will I see ads for stoves?

They don't sell your info.
They will place content related ads on a small spot on the page.
Privacy freaks hate it.
Pragmatists nod and think it's better to see related content than a random ads - think a guy watching a football game and a feminine hygiene ad vs a beer commercial.
It being the net, it can be unnerving how fast you see the focus of the ads changing with a click. Or when I use a friend's pc and visit the same site I always do, but the ads are completely different because they reflect her patterns.
Just curious, what are your alternatives? Aren't they all ad based?

Alexander Skarsgard Covers August Man January 2012
Bringing his suave ways to their year-beginning offering, Alexander Skarsgard suited up for the cover of the January 2012 issue of August Man.
The studly Swede actor oozed charm as he posed for the Andrew Macpherson shot spread while talking with the magazine about topics including his relationship with his famous father and being typecast as an alpha-male like his "True Blood" character Eric Northman.
Highlights from Alexander's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to check out August Man!
On his apprehensiveness over press coverage:
"It freaked me out to be talked about in magazines or on television. It made me feel insecure and nervous."
On being true to himself:
"It's really hard to find the right balance, and the only way to do it is to be the guy you are, and never forget where you come from."
On his relationship with his father:
" we're more like brothers than father and son. We hang out. I'll take him out with my buddies in LA or in Stockholm and it's never awkward or anything. He's 60 but he likes to party."
On everyone wanting him to fill roles similar to that of his ""True Blood" character:
"Everyone wants me to play air Northmen from true blood in a movie with a different name, basically... Strong, tough, else the male parts. That's fun to do, but you want to balance that out."

Multiplicative linear secret sharing is a fundamental notion in the area of secure multi-party computation (MPC) and,
since recently, in the area of two-party cryptography as well. In a nutshell, this notion guarantees that
``the product of two secrets is obtained as a linear function of the vector consisting of the
coordinate-wise product of two respective share-vectors\'\'. This paper focuses on the following foundational question, which is novel to the best of our knowledge. Suppose we {\\em abandon the latter linearity condition} and instead require that this product is obtained by {\\em some},
not-necessarily-linear ``product reconstruction function\'\'. {\\em Is the resulting notion equivalent to
multiplicative linear secret sharing?} We show the (perhaps somewhat counter-intuitive) result that this relaxed notion is strictly {\\em more general}.
Concretely, fix a finite field $\\FF_q$ as the base field $\\FF_q$ over which linear secret sharing is considered.
Then we show there exists an (exotic) linear secret sharing scheme with an unbounded number of players $n$
such that it has $t$-privacy with $t\\approx \\sqrt{n}$
and such that it does admit a product reconstruction function, yet this function is {\\em necessarily} nonlinear. Our proof is based on
combinatorial arguments involving bilinear forms. It extends to similar separation results for important variations,
such as strongly multiplicative secret sharing.

Casillo readies for Iditarod return
After a five-year break, Rick Casillo is back in the game
Veteran musher Rick Casillo is making his return to the Iditarod after a five-year hiatus. Despite discussion about moving the start to Fairbanks on Monday, the Iditarod Trail Committee decided the race would begin in Willow as planned.
Regardless, the veteran musher, along with his wife Jennifer, had been preparing to run his race — and one that suited his dogs' style.
"This is a darn good dog team, there's no doubt about it," Casillo said. "They like to run long. We've trained a slower dog team this year by design … we're going to do long runs with them, so kind of the tortoise and the hare type of a scenario. So that's the way we designed this dog team this year is run a little but slower in hopes they recover faster at the checkpoints."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The hotel rooms were roomy and clean. Very close walking distance from the Vatican. Not as centrally located from a majority of the historcial sites.
The staff was great.
We are very satisfied with our Superior Double Room and all its amenitites especially the Starbeds (soft feather beds) and the bedding.
We wanted a hotel within walking distance of the Vatican, and yours was great. We had just come off a month in Egypt and wanted 4 days of pampering and top level hotel experience to rest before flying home, and your hotel provided it. We will come back and recommend it to others. No complaints whatsoever.
Great location near Vatican. Quiet. Clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Balcony rooms were nice feature over most other hotels. Restaurant food and service was very good. Would definitely stay here again..
The staff were friendy and helpful, the rooms were spotlessly clean, towells changed daily. great location for getting around city and nice area with a few bars and restaurants if you didnt want to wonder too far. Nice and quiet. A safe was provided free of charge in each room. The only negative point raised by a member of our group was that there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms.
location and the staff, everything is very nice
The cleaning staff at the hotel was very nice and curteous, much moreso than the rest of the staff. The included breakfast and service was below average at best and the staff at the front desk was not helpful. The location was close to the Vatican, but not very close to the main part of the city, or to many notable restaurants.
Clean and comfortable. Location was great. Busloads of tourists staying at Hotel. Full breakfast choices/quality slim for the price.
facilities and excelent location in rome n/a
to be near every where
Proximity to the vatican
The bedroom was very modern and the appearance of the hotel. I thought that breakfast was very poor. After staying there for three nights, I was sick of the breakfast as there was not enough variety. As alot of people that stay at the hotel are from different countries, I think a better selection of foods on offer would be an advantage. i.e. fresh fruit, more hot food, fresh orange juice and other other juices etc. I have stayed at many hotels around the world and a fantastic breakfast is something that people look out for. The location is very good as it is only 5 minutes from the metro and there are alot of places to eat. Overall, I would recommend staying there but ensure that you don't pay too much. In regards to service, we found that the staff at the hotel were fine. If it is your first time to Italy then be prepared to meet alot of rude people!! However, you will meet some interesting characters and you just need to smile and carry on with your own business. Enjoy!!
Quiet location in a park, no traffic noise. Very good breakfast. Uncomfortable pillows, very hard. Would have liked some soft ones.
good size room, good breakfast
The room was very clean and well furnished. The staff answered all our questions about Rome in a very friendly and comprehensive way. I think the hotel is definiteley four star standard and could not understand some of the negative comments about this hotel. Book with Confidence. The bar was a bit pricey.. ..but most hotels are!
the place
The morning buffet was excellent. Also the staff were very helpful. Our room was not cleaned one morning while we where out, even though we had our tag on the door.
Very grand. Excellent breakfast. Good position and pleasant grounds Rather austere, and rooms were rather noisy. You could easily hear what was going on in the next room
The room was nice and spacious, we the junior suite. The restaurant and breakfast buffet was good. The location to the bus stop/metro train was good, and easy to find for traveling in the city. The inside of the hotel was nice, but it was a little worn down. We were supposed to have free breakfast room service in the morning, but the food and coffee was cold and it was not that good. And then when we went to check out, they were going to charge us for the room service.
Excellent location – 5 min walk to metro station. Good breakfast. Bathroom should be renovated. The room is not enough clean for 4 star hotel.
Close to a metro station. In a quiet location. Room quiet. Difficult to find hotel as it is now called Domus Mariae but was booked as the Grand hotel Palazzo Carpegna. Kept waiting at arrival as staff answered phones and messed about with the computer. Not allowed to use the dining room as it is reserved for groups only nor the other smaller one which was not opened. Had to take my meal in the bar where there was interuption from other guests. Food expensive for a bar but of good quality. Although described as being located in a park there did not seem to be any access to the park from the hotel. Room was in the attic and only view was via a skylight therefore you had not much idea of what was going on. Skylight did not have a blind so there was light early in the morning making sleep difficult.
Just the location First of all, airconditioning was very bad. the temperature was controlled and looks like it is in fan only. Had to open windows to have fresh air. Need to ask for toiletries as they don't put enough for two people. Front desk was not too helpful when my luggage was missing. I had it stored for the weekend as we went out of town and when I claimed it, one of the two luggages is gone, must have been lost or stolen. We were leaving the next day and it has been more than 5 days now and I have not heard from them. You know how it feels to lose a luggage with all my shopping, gifts I bought and all the efforts and time spent. The hotel has no sense of responsibility, did not care and no apology was extended to me, very bad customer service!
There were very friendly and professional staff. Also the pool is absolutely a must have, while the city have the "siesta" you can have a drink or two by the pool and will be fresh for the evening part of the Rome experience.
Knowledgeable staff Internet access only in foyer, internet expensive. Location a bit out of town.
Staff was very friendly, room ready when we arrived and there was a very hard to come by pool in Rome. there was an obvious smell of smoke, despite being a non-smoking hotel and you coudl see it in the carpets. After sooo much difficulty finding a hotel with a pool, we were shocked to see that it closed at 7:3pm. Generally hotel pools are open until at least 10pm. Very dissappointing considering we were there to spend the day visiting Rome and looking forward to an evening swim to cool down only to find they closed it up early every night.
Friendly and helpful staff. Clean refreshing hotel. a quiet part of town but not convenient for public transport Our room should have been non smoking but it did smell of smoke a little. Open windows soon got rid of it. We were misled by its website saying that it was close to public transport
Staff very helpful room clean great view of pool breakfast first class pool great on hot days A little bit out of rome prices for hotel restaurant and snacks expensive would have used if more fairly priced
swimming pool, hotel staff, safety, clean opening hours of the swimming pool (too short), the fact that one day there was a group of screaming kids at the pool - not possible to relax nor to swim. the fact that the hotel staff did not knew where the toailettes are, made me worry as to what other guests do about there needs where at the swimming pool - puuh!! The fact the alarm clock at the TV did not worked made me late for an important meeting at the first day of my stay!!!
we enjoyed the upgrade to a suite with a free mini bar for 15 euro per day. excellent breakfast evening menu pricey but ate in Rome
Excellent dinner (both food and service) but pricey. Front desk went out of their way to be helpful. We were not comfortable walking in the neighborhood in the evening. No place nearby to have dinner except for Mc Donalds
Excellent. Fabulous pool and gym. Fantastic breakfast. Short 7euro taxi ride to at peters square and vatican and all open top hop on n hop off bus to get to all main sights on Rome. We very much enjoyed our four night stay. Fantastic and thanks
closed to Vatican but not walking distance. Nice swimming pool and very delicious breakfast. kind staff. the water in swimming pool was too cold to swim.
Good room size and cleanliness No A/C in the hot summer, no fan. I remained awake the whole night and could not do my next day meeting properly. This was total disaster for me.
The hotel was restored, new furnitures. The room was tidy, clean. The staff was very, very friendly. The hotel is very good located, close to metro, bus station.
Cleanliness and hygiene were excellent.
Very well located and very good value for money. Staff are nice and rooms were clean
It's convenient with metro but it's hard to transport by taxi. Staff do not have reliable and state-of-the-art informaition about tour of Rome and Vantican.
This Hotel whilst not luxury was perfect for our needs, it provided a base for exploring Rome and a place to sleep, considering our 7-day metro tickets were only 16euros each it catered our needs perfectly and saved us a lot more then staying in the centre of the city. However people used to a higher standard may not like the basic facilities. Therefore take the other reviews with a pinch of salt ask yourself, what you need? If like us all you want is a 'base' then Aurelius is good. If you want lots of facilities and high quality look elsewhere. However the staff were friendly to us (it may be where we at least tried to speak some Italian?) and not sure what other reviewers mean by "rude" staff. The reviews ive read here could reflect the hotel but yet again everyone sees things differently! We did have an accident getting out of our bathroom where my partner caught (and cut) her foot on a exposed jagged edge of tiling on the floor where it had either been unrepaired/ left unattended or poorly constructed. So better care with the decor of the rooms is in order!
Silence, clean environment, correct service, situation and convenient city transport connections Obligatory presence of table (desk) suitable for PC-working; English chanels in the TV-set (CNN, BBC etc.) if it is possible.
Excellent location. The room was clean and comfortable, however this is not a 4 star hotel as announced. Internet is not free. They have a desktop machine in the lobby for "free " use, however if Internet is required it is necessary to buy a password!
Good value for money and location, also the rooms were very clean The view was nothing special, but I did not have any requirements
The hotel was in close proximity to a metro station which provided access to a number of key points in the city. The facility was clean and well maintained.
Very spaced out. Excellent breakfast. Pretty quiet setting. None
Room was very comfortable. room service also excellent. Location - transport is not near the hotel. Administration - when we checked out, early in the morning, breakfast boxes were not ready, though previous day we were promised thet boxes will be ready in the morning.
It was ultra-contemporary with all the technology present designed for comfort of the guests. The room--we had a suite--was spacious and soothing. The staff was super-attentive, too. My husband, son, and I spent three weeks in Italy. This was by far the best place we stayed. I feel I got real value through Booking.com, but then, you have never let me down. It was a bit far away from the action. (To say that it's close to Vatican City is a bit of a stretch.) However, it was also nice to be away from it all, and in a neighborhood with "real Romans." We went to a snack bar nearby, and it was amusing how we were treated since they didn't see many tourists. I would stay in this place again in a heartbeat.
Hotel staff were polite and knowledgeable. They provided excellent directions to many local attractions.
The staff were professional. The need for our children's during the stay was well taken care of. The relative distance to Vatican city was favorable. The room has a contemporary design and the bathroom is pleasant. The room was very small. There was no facility in the hotel of note. Breakfast was marginal. The area around the hotel is not interesting.
The breakfast - very very poor
the room was great and comfortable - good location very poor breakfast -bad coffee
continental breakfast and friendly staff hotel room cold and settings were hard to fix
The rooms were very comfortable and clean. There aren't any restaurants near the hotel.
staff friendly, the room was clean and warm and breakfast was fine for italian taste. The parking space is free e it's not far from city centre by car...I'm not sure with the bus or underground as I did not use it..
Breakfast was very poor quality and very poor choice of food E.G meats,cheese. the shower was very dispointing always cold.and there were no coffee making Facilities
Its location to the centre of Rome was the Hotel's strong point and the helpfulness of the staff on answering local enquiries. The hotel initially offered a completely incorrect room and it took a forceful discussion with the hotel recpetionist to get the hotel to change our room to the grade which we booked. This put an initial dampener on the start of the trip, but was quickly forgotten about and the receptionist turned out to be extremely knowledgeable about transport options into the city. We were travelling with 3 children ages 2, 8 and 13 and the room we had was a little small for 5 people, but that said, this would be an excellent room for a family of three and the hotel's location made getting into and out of Rome pretty easy. The breakfast was OK.
My family enjoyed the hotel a lot. Room was clean and nice. Air conditioning worked well (even when it was +35 C outside). Breakfast was good. The reception personnel (especially Giuseppe) was very friendly and helpful.
It was quiet and the air conditioning in my room was brilliant. If I got back to Rome, I'll go back to your hotel. No.
Everything super. I would recomende this hotel to every body!
breakfeast service
The location
Not a 4 star hotel. But the rooms were a decent size and were very clean. Most staff were friendly and helpful and it was close to transport.
Nice roon good condicion, cheaper and value for money. It is far way from the underground station, the breakfast is poor, there are no fruits, but for the price it's not too bad, there is just roon to improuve.
Hotel was easy to find from the motorway and had free parking. Attractive, spacious reception/lounge area and clean and comfortable rooms. Very quiet at night, and comfortably cool thanks to air con in spite of very hot weather. City centre accessible via public transport. Helpful staff who allowed us to leave luggage in hotel and car in carpark next day while we explored the city. Bus from outside hotel goes direct to Vatican area. Good value hotel for price. Area around hotel was ok but a bit scruffy & unattractive. (Did not feel unsafe tho) a bit of a walk to bus stop into city centre - we couldn't find it at first, so took metro instead which was a horrible experience - overcrowded, hot and smelly. No problems getting bus back tho. No restaurant for evening meal so we had to eat out - advise doing this in city as not much in local area. Rooms a bit on small side with no view, but fine for a short stay.
The staff was very friendly and always attentive. The price was great and it was in a convenient place to stay close to the subway. Because we were there to see a few sights before heading out to a class in Siena it was great. Rome can be very intimidating but we felt safe in the area around our hotel. In terms of the hotel nothing really, It is small but I don't expect it to be America. When in Rome...
I liked having breakfast There was no problem at all.
Room not big but satisfactionary size and clean. Front desk people were very nice and helpfull and they spoke english. Breakfast very good and full. Hotel located 5 min walk from metro station cornellia. I can recommend this hotel for people who do not need to stay in city centre. with walk and emtro ride it took us 20 min max to get into the city. I was very satisfied with this hotel. Robert
Everything was perfect. Nope.
I realy appriciate hotel staff, nice area inside and outside, oportunities which I had.....bar, terasse, internet, close to underground station. It was quite difficult to find this hotel from close underground station, because I see any signs or advertisement about hotel and not everybody who live in this part of Roma know where is situated this hotel ..of course. So , maybe good idea should be to make it clear for people. Thank you.
The staff were very polite, and helpful. They also speak English and Spanish so communication wasn't a problem. The breakfast buffet was great. It has a nice variety of food items, all delicious! The location is great since it is a few meters from the Merto Station. The cleanliness is fair. Over all, it was a great value for the price. I visited with two kids and the room was large enough to accomodate us. The whole family had a good experience at the this hotel. It is a little dificult to find because it is not on a main street. You should add a land mark to the address on lineFor example, it is located behind the yellow gas station by the bus depot. This info would be very helpful.
The price lack of Internet in the room and very slow in the lobby
That the hotel was close to the train station The price I paid for this 3 star was unbelivable. Instead of one king bed as I requested I got two twins beds put together. I had a 19" TV, no tub, just a shower, the bathroom was so small two people could not be in there at one time. I was not able to get extra blankets, there was no clock in the room. I was not pleased with this hotel.
The staff extremely helpful and friendly! Breakfast was not the "American breakfast" that they promised on the brochure.
bathroom, breakfast, hotel staff, air conditioning all were wonderfull room was ridiculously small
Leaving. Terrible location far from the city center or even the Vatican as advertised. The neighborhood is completely littered with trash, just as the hotel had food laying around on the floors for our entire stay. You would be better off sleeping on the floor instead of the aweful mattress and you will be up to your ankles w/ water in the shower. Breakfast was almost ok...except for if you are not Italian you have to drink the "dirty water" vending machine caffe/coffee that tastes like you got it in an American hospital (Italian speakers were offered better caffes from the back by the staff upon arrival). The walls are paper thin and if you weren't completely distracted by the strange noises from within the room there were plenty of noises to here from outside of the room. Be advised also that the city tax is listed incorrectly and is now 6 euros per person per day.
The breakfast was superb, catering for everybody from all walks and every nationality. The staff were mostly friendly. When you arrive at the underground stop for the hotel try to have a map or sat nav to take you the extra 8 minutes walk to the hotel as the locals will either not tell you where it is or they do not know where it is. Have at least a street address.
It was clean and spacious The train station was like a 25 minute walk so not very close.
Nice at checkin. Good food in restaurant. Good fitness center. Almost no drawers in room for clothes. 20 minute walk to metro
Beautiful boutique hotel very close to the Vatican in a nice neighborhood with an excellent continental breakfast, lovely room, nice bathroom, and a very friendly and helpful staff. They did not have electrical adapter connections for US appliances such as my cell phone charging station.
Rooms were very clean and the hotel was small enough that it was easy to get around in wish they had a shuttle service to the airport or partner with another hotel to provide this service
I like the cleanliness and the soft price of the room.
i like that the hotel is not far away from the centro. the bus takes you fast to the metro and from there you get to the centro in 15 minutes. the breakfast is so good. i loved the croisants and the bread and the ham and the cheese and the peperoni and the risotto and the fruit. am i forgetting something? yes but no more room. i did not like that i had to leave Rome nice city! the hotel is great for the money. have in consideration i pay only 350 euros. with that money the hotel is great more money i will rate it maybe a good not excellent.
clossness to the metro line. i liked everything.
The hotel is located just right in Via Aurelia, so it is easy to find. Restaurants and bars are nearby. It's located near a bus station, but you have to walk up to 10-15 minutes to the nearest metro station. This hotel does not provide free internet access.
breakfast included, friendly personnel not located near subway system
very professional staff, very very clean!!! a real refuge at the end of the day. The distance from major sights. (too far away)
The room was very confortable and extremely clean. The double room was two single beds pushed together.
Everything was very good!!!!
Enjoyed thge stay. No
When I advised the desk clerk that the bathroom door stuck on the bottom and was not easily moved, he promptly had it fixed. He also very kindly lent me a socket adapter for my electric razor. Small bathroom - difficulty moving around because the door was always in the way. Advertisement said there was air conditioning, but my room did not have it. Desk clerk said my single room was one of the few not having that service.
My wife and I found the hotel staff to extremely helpful. They helped us navigate our way around Rome which was huge seeing as how it was our first there. The room key had to be in a slot inside the door for the lights/power to work which was really inconvenient. The room was oddly set up (felt cold) and the bed was pretty uncomfortable.
The procedure of accommodation was very simple, and the staff was pretty kind.Food was also pretty good. I didn't like the fact the the TV had very few channels, which just one or two working good.The fire alarm started in the middle of the night, and lasted about one hour without being any fire.This was very unpleasant.
Breakfast was good. Availability of Internet. Hotel was within close proximity to Cornelia bus and metro station. Hotel staff arrogant with non-Italian speaking guests. Staff also provide incorrect information about international calling rates and taxi fares. Room complaints (e.g. missing shower door, noisy neon light, etc) were not fixed by the hotel staff.
Good value for the money, nice staff, clean rooms. I recommend to everyone.
I asked for taxi to the airport since I had to leave very early in the morning. They offered me a "private service" for 60 Euros. They told me that the price was equivalent to that of a normal taxi since it was a night service to the airport. At the airport the driver told me that I was not able to give me an invoice since he was not the owner of the cab, they borrowed him the cab. He promised me to send the invoice via mail.
The hotel is situated in a very nice, green area of Roma. Although we had a room at 6th floor the view was very beautiful - we could even see, in a distance, the St. Pietro Dome. It is not very near the centre of the city (also not exhaustingly far as we feared before arriving) but the connections by bus and subway were very good. The bus station is exactly across the street and except week-end (when you have to wait longer) the bus comes every 5-10 minutes and it can take you to a subway station. The breakfast was ok: they served sliced cheese, ham and italian salami, cereals, yoghurt, milk, jam, different tipes of bread, a variety of croissants, canned stewed fruits, coffee, tea, juice. Nearby there are good, not expensive restaurants. The furniture in the room was a little damaged (a broken drawer), but this didn't affect us at all. They did some renovations in the next room one day and, in another, the elevator did not work but also because of renovations. The window frames are of wood and not very tight and if it is a cold weather it will blow a little current in the room but you can draw the big curtains.
The room is amazing and very comfortable. The breakfast is good. It should be information on the hotel's website about how to get the hotel from the airport by public transportation. I was lost and had many problems to find out the bus number, which is the 246. Thus I had to spend money to get the hotel by taxi,...
the main problem was - it was kind of hard to find hotel itself. I would suggest to put more clear directions with mentioning the bus number which you have to take in order to reach it.
The staff were friendly and helpful its location was not very convenient
noisy, not efficient air condition
price very good the food available - the restaurant food was very unappealing, only a set menu on offer. and the breakfast available was very limited. the hotel did not seem to match a 4 star rating.
The staff are very friendly. The price was very reasonable but I guess you get what you pay for. Shower worked just fine. Not very close to the Center of Rome, about a 15 minute ride using the metro or a taxi. A taxi will cost you $15 US Dollars one way to main tourist attractions. The room was very hot and the AC did not work very well. The bed was hard. They serve breakfast for about $10 but no other meals and nearest restaurant is not too close.
Pleasant and friendly staff. Quite close to the city centre (~500m from metrostation). Free parking and great offer on the room. Breakfast was ok. They should not refer themself as a "4 star" hotel. I've been to classier 2 star hotels. Rooms were fairly clean, but need a full renovation as does the whole hotel. People who expect this hotel to be a 4 star quality are going to be dissapointed. The restaurant is available only for groups.
Distance, quality of dotations, food ...
This hotel was pretty close to a metro stop which made it easy to get around Rome. They also had very convenient, free, parking for guests. The location is on the edge of Rome, so when driving, it was nice to not have to drive far into Rome to find this hotel. The room was clean, and fairly spacious. I would stay here again! The room wasn't bad, but there were a couple places that could have used some updating like a little peeling wall paper, minor stuff.
Extremely clean and mostly pleasant staff. Good parking. Reasonable prices. Good facilities. Breakfast was very poor - consisted mainly of sweets, and there was limited meats and no cheeses. Drinks were of poor quality. Overall, breakfasts in 1 star hotels have been much better.
There is no free wireless internet, pants press, hair dryer, and half of the electric outlets in the room did not work.
nothing content of the breakfasts was very poor, i have stayed many hotels in the world and i can exactly say that this hotel should be 2 stars not 4
There was very weak water pressure from the hot tap and quite alot of the time no hot water flowed at all. The plates in the breakfast room were chipped and covered in dryed on food. The breakfast was dry and stale.
the hotel was lovely and right opposite a bus stop which was great as the hotel is a little way out of town.also use the tube to get to the hotel as it was very expensive for a taxi and only 1 euro for the underground to the termanial station
the room is very nice, staff are very helpful and friendly, NO
Good comfortable bed. Good pool area outside. In the mid of our stay we got a letter from the hotel about that towels were missing in our room and we were asked to bring them back. The reason was that we were using the towels at the pool area while housekeeping was in our room.
The room smelled like mold, the staff was somewhat rude and arrogant, the neighborhood and area was very bad to the point where I didn't feel safe enough to walk outside with my family and the location was very inconvenient for any transportation into the city or the airport.
Excellent bed. Clean linen and towels changed daily. Ants in our room. Air conditiioning either too hot or too cold and not easy to adjust. Nowhere reasonable to eat locally, the only restaurant was attached to the hotel an this was very expensive. Told by one receptionist we only need to give 30 mins notice to use the shuttle bus when in fact it wa set times (and that was usually late)
Nothing spacial, it,s very simple hotel & very expensive. 1- The bed is not comfort. 2- The breakfast is so poor.
The room was bright and quite modern in design, very pleasant and roomie The internet did not work, no wifi was available for my Iphone. The blackness of the lobby was oppressive. The restaurant menu was quite limited.
the pool is quite beautiful amd the room is nice; the breakfast is good and the list of wine from the restaurant is indeed selective if you are keen on sweet wines you have to give atention when you pay the bill because it may be mistakes
The hotel is very good, excellent place to stay, food at breakfast ok Location is absolutely uncommunicative, no proper transportation apart from taxi, stuff not at the most cooperative, restaurant a little expensive
I liked the accomadations and the breakfast was good. I did not like the noise from the restaurant right outside my door. It was very loud until after midnight. If I would stay here again; I would not stay in a room near the restaurant.
one good recommendation for a restaurant in Rome; one helpful waiter Very disorganised, no record keeping re:minor changes to reservations; an extremely rude and un-informed reception staff. Poor location with nothing of interest within walking distance. Very dark internally including in stairwells. Negative atmosphere, unhelpful + not particularly warm or polite or welcoming
THe location the look ok the hotel and the atmospere
the breakfast was good the ceiling was too low in the room. my watch was stolen. (left watch in room and called within an hour to have them hold it for us and they said it wasn't in the room) we know it was left in the room. To us it was stolen by staff.
Design :-) very far from city center. Hotel should, at least, offer a shuttle to Metro Station. The local bus to next Metro Station is a mess especially on weekends. You have to wait for 30 minutes and then the bus is crowded, sticky, hot and stinks. Pool (which looks very nice) was not yet opened. very poor!!!
It was very modern, the food at the restaurant was good and the room was more than adequate to meet our needs for the night. It was difficult to find, a better map would be helpful.
Loved the pool and the decor Again, no tea/coffe making facilities in the rooms, very limited ironing service and minimal storage facilities

Cemetery Brokers - A Word of
Caution about Cemetery Broker Commissions and Fees
Cemetery Brokers
- Buy and Sell Cemetery Lots Contracts and Co-Op Arrangements
Please be extremely cautious when listing your property with any company internet or otherwise, who takes a fee and/or a commission for selling your property. A person or company who requires a commission is known as a Cemetery Broker. The Final Arrangements Network is not a cemetery brokerage firm. Please read ABOUT US for more on this. Final Arrangements charges a single, one time, advertising processing fee. This fee also covers any and all changes to an owner's registered property listing, no matter how long that owner stays listed. Unlike classified advertising, which generally charge for additional days, weeks or months; once an owner is registered with The Cemetery Registry, there are never any more costs.
Final Arrangements is an information source for buyers and sellers of cemetery property. This does not require a license and allows us to advertise an owner's property worldwide. Cemetery Brokers, on the other hand, must possess a license to act as a Broker in many US States and particularly in the state where the property is located. In some States although not illegal to act as a Cemetery Broker without a license, there are very strict rules that must be met. Be sure to get a copy of the license or make sure they can tell you the rules of the State you plan to sell in from anyone who wishes to represent you in the sale of your property. If you are unsure or they don't know contact your State Government's Cemetery Regulations and Licensing to make sure you understand the rules.
Most Cemeteries do not market property they have already sold. In some States there are legal restrictions that prevent Cemeteries from engaging in this resale practice. In others the Cemeteries have corporate policies preventing it. If you are approached by a representative of a cemetery offering to sell your property for a fee and or commission, you should contact the Cemetery to insure the Cemetery is allowing its sales people to engage in this type of representation and that it is even legal in your State.
It is, generally, unlawful for Funeral Homes in many US States to market cemetery property. Any company purporting to sell your property through a funeral home should be viewed with extreme caution and a call to the local funeral homes in the area where your property is located should be done before contracting with any individual or company representing itself to operate through funeral homes to market your property.
You should be extremely wary if you are required to pay a fee plus a commission in order to have your property marketed by anyone. Like Real Estate Brokers, most legitimate Cemetery Brokers make their income from successfully selling your property.
A legitimate Cemetery Brokerage firm will be able to produce a license indicating they have the legal right to market cemetery property in the state in which your property is located and the state agency that issued and oversees Cemetery Brokers in that state. They should also be able to provide you with a list of references of buyers, funeral homes they work with and owners like yourself, who they have successfully performed their services for. If they can't, and cannot provide you with the Statute or Law of the State, which says they don't need a license, do not sign any contract without first consulting an attorney from that jurisdiction. The Laws regarding cemeteries, funeral homes and funeral insurance are very restrictive for a reason. They are there to protect us the public. Be cautious dealing with anyone that wants you to give them money for them to represent your property. Again the Cemetery Broker should derive his or her income from a commission (generally 5% to 15%) when they successfully sell your property. It is unusual for a Cemetery Broker to require the seller to pay the advertising costs for his or her property, just as it is with real estate brokers.
Please write us if you have any questions regarding this

Beijing (AFP) March 5, 2008
China will step up its monitoring of product safety, Premier Wen Jiabao said Wednesday, as it tries to counter a string of scandals over Chinese-made goods ranging from food to toys.
Authorities would "accelerate efforts to formulate or update national standards for product quality and safety," Wen told legislators at the annual session of parliament.
Wen also vowed to ensure the country's testing regime matched international standards.
"This year, we will complete the formulation or updating of more than 7,700 national standards for the safety of food products, drugs and other consumer goods to put in place a sound system of standards for product safety," he said.
Laws would be introduced or revised, oversight would be improved and exports would be more closely monitored, Wen added.
China launched a four-month safety campaign to license food producers last August in response to a spate of safety scandals worldwide involving Chinese-made products.
The drive resulted in 192,400 unlicensed food shops being closed and over 1,250 tonnes of substandard food withdrawn from domestic markets by the end of 2007, an earlier report by the state Xinhua news agency said.
The campaign was extended into the New Year, but the list of scandals has continued, with the latest being a scare over Chinese-made dumplings in Japan which left several people ill with pesticide poisoning.

poop in the womb
Dude asks:
Do babies poop while in the womb? And where does it go if they do?
Hi, and thanks for the question! Finally, one I can answer with authority!
Yes, they certainly can and do poop in there. The baby's first BM is called meconium, and it is a tarry, black, sticky substance.
If released in utero, it simply dissolves into the water, or amniotic fluid, giving it its characteristic greenish hue. About 30% or so of all babies will have pooped before birth, and special procedures are followed at delivery to be sure the baby doesn't have any in its airways.
Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.
-- Poonurse
Poonurse is an RN with 25 years experience in labor and delivery. Her qualifications include seeing a lot of poop, and owning a computer. Also, she works in Michigan, which she calls the asshole of the universe, so that's another bit of credibility.
Got a question for her?

My cousin inhaled her shit when she was born.
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
My daughter did a poo just before my giving her birth and she brilliantly turned herself around before making the trek out of me. Unfortunately, she turned herself into a breached position and that is how I gave birth to her.

I swallowed poop when I was in the womb. I got sick.
This is getting gross on so many levels.

gross once pussys streach they dont get tight after ever done a young women with a baby mannnn its sloshy n yuck!
Simply not true. Not only does the vaginal wall successfully shrink after childbirth, a woman can buy a Kegel exerciser if she feels not so tight afterwards.
Maybe the reason it felt loose reflects on you and yours. I suggest Enzyte.

I remember my mom telling me I had some of my poop in my mouth while I was halfway out of her vagina. I've never had sex nor seen a vagina in person so I can't really tell you about stretching. See Daphne's post, or ask another woman who has had a kid if you want confirmation, though I'm sure daphne wouldn't lie like that.
Practicing the ancient Chinese art of double flushing... because sometimes, a single flush just isn't enough.
[Insert witty banter here]
Maybe this is a dumb question, but where does the poop come from? I mean, a baby doesn't exactly eat anything while in the womb. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't all of it's 'food' come from the umbilical cord? I'm just a little bit confused.
That, Nate B, is quite an awesome question. I have a good reason to go and use Google. Will do right after I get back--I need go go poop now. The washing machine has been going a while, I hope it flushes. This house has horrible plumbing, damnit!

Hi, I am new to this site due to recently obscure poops. I have had diarrhea for 4 weeks straight and there is no sign of letting up. What should I be eating less of or more of? Should I see a doctor? Is profuse ass-bleeding normal with mild diarrhea? And I am still in the womb on a blackberry with the wireless connection from the hospital. Is this possible?
I love the things I learn on PR.

Is it normal for poop to be green? Because after a night of heavy drinking my poop seems to have a light green color to it...
after a long day its great to sit on a porclin god and take a dumb!!!
Dear AC.......You should sit there and take an ignorant some time !!
Eat chilies and feel the burn!!
If I had two faces do you think I'd be wearing this one?
Chief! Calm down. I know it is hard to ignore what bothers you about certain posters, but you don't want to stop ticking over sloppy writers. They are not worth the big one, Chief. Take deep breaths and skip over them. You can do it!

...And their flesh like dung. Zeph. 1:17
how many people have ever eatin shit before? cuz i came across a website where these two girls ate each others shit.... i'm serious, who would do something that disgusting?
Is it a scary moment when the child does that? It seems like it. This is my first child and i am scared for that to happen. I watched a show on 16 and pregnant and i was scared for the girl, i wanted to cry for her.
I suppose being shit in might be a little scarier than being shit on.
Eat chilies and feel the burn!!
If I had two faces do you think I'd be wearing this one?
Ok so I'm 19 and this is my husbands and my first baby. My husband asked if the baby poops while its in the mom and I told him I know it pees but I was not sure if it pooped. So if I have read and understood this site right the baby can poop while in the mom and it could make the baby sick if it gets in the baby's air way? Like I said I'm a mom to be for the first time so I don't mean anything if I have everything wrong. Oh btw I'm working on my 22nd week.
when is the poop produced normally? the last month of pregnancy or before that?

|Speaker's Biographies
|Energy Awards
The 9th Annual Kansas Wind and Renewable Energy Conference, held September 23-24, 2008, in Topeka, was a great success. Over 700 people from 25 states were in attendance.
"The world energy challenge is a great opportunity for Kansas," according to Kansas Lieutenant Governor Mark Parkinson, as he welcomed delegates to the annual event.
With tremendous renewable resources, especially from agriculture and wind, Parkinson said the State will have the capacity to generate over 1000 megawatts of electricity from wind by the end of 2008, exceeding a 10% goal announced in 2007 by Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
According to a 2008 report from the U.S. Department of Energy, the President's goal of 20 percent generation from renewables by 2030 could result in a $7.8 billion economic impact for the State. This could result in some 23,000 construction jobs and over 3,000 permanent jobs for Kansas.
Keynote speaker Dr. James Hansen of NASAs Goddard Institute of Space Studies, one of the nations foremost climate experts, told a capacity crowd stated that if carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase it will eventually mean the end of life.
Hansen said some scientists claim global warming is part of a natural climate cycle by pointing to past eras of higher temperatures.
But Hansen said the CO2 increases over the past few decades have been caused by humans burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. Along with the increase in CO2 have come dramatic temperature shifts and environmental distress signals, such as the melting of glaciers, rising sea levels and expansion of deserts, he said.
"Humans are now controlling the mechanisms for climate change," he said.
The president of the American Council of Renewable Energy (ACORE) told the attendees Kansas has a tremendous potential for many types of renewable energy including wind, solar and biomass. Michael T. Eckhart said attracting renewable energy companies to Kansas will increase the economic base by bring new component manufacturers, new systems engineers and installers, renewable energy equipment manufacturers and support professionals.
Conference attendees heard from two Kansas members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC is made up of experts from throughout the world. The Kansas representatives were Dr. Charles Rice of Kansas State University and Dr. Johannes Fedderma of the University of Kansas.
A record number of sponsors and exhibitors in 2008 helped create a very successful event.
Presentations and brief bios of nearly four dozen presenters can be found on this website, along with the sponsors and exhibitors.

Alhambra High School fired its entire football coaching staff late Tuesday over the issue of nutritional supplements.
"We are in the process of a coaching change," athletic director Jerry DeSantis said.
Chuck Leonardis, who was named the head coach in December, said on Wednesday that his staff had provided seven players, who had asked about products, with nutritional supplements, including extremely low dosages of the naturally produced chemical Creatine.
"We were very up front and did not recommend it," Leonardis said. "We had the kids talk to their parents. It's a legal over-the-counter supplement and we did not break any school rules."
Leonardis and one parent who has a player on the team confirmed that one of the players did not tell his parents and when those parents found out, they approached school officials. Leonardis said he had a meeting with principal Duane Russell, who took over the position this week, and DeSantis after Tuesday's practice. That's when the entire staff was fired.
Russell did not return phone calls.
"They were instantly blaming us and threatening us with a suspension," Leonardis said. "We were not breaking school rules. We wanted to stay. We brought it to their attention. We didn't hide anything."
According to a coach within the school district, coaches are not allowed to buy products by proxy for players, even if there is no profit involved.
One issue of nutritional supplements had already been broached, and approved, by school officials when they agreed that Gatorade would provide fluid and 400 nutritional supplement bottles during the start of full-pad practices, Leonardis said.
Leonardis said he wanted to meet with the team on Tuesday, but was forbidden. Administrators met with team members and some parents briefly late Tuesday and they will hold a meeting today at 7 p.m.
"This guy cares for the kids and now they're destroyed," said a parent whose son is on the team, but did not want to be identified. "My son started crying last night. He said, `Dad, they care about us and are teaching us the game.' These are coaches who are not trying to harm kids."
Creatine is a natural amino acid that provides energy to the body.
Leonardis stressed that what was being offered to the students was "the lowest protein dosage you can get on the market." Creatine, produced in many forms, can be found at many nutritional markets.
CIF State rule 22B12 says that coaches "agree to only give non-muscle building nutritional supplements."
Leonardis was the Moors' fourth coach in three years. Joe Kanach was fired last year in the middle of the season because of alleged on-campus misconduct. DeSantis coached the team's final games. The Moors finished the season 4-6.
"This was something we did not hide from anybody," Leonardis said. "When we had our meeting, we said that we will admit if we have done something wrong. I asked them to show us the school policy."
The team cannot practice until a coach is named. Alhambra is scheduled to begin the season Aug. 30 at Moor Field.
DeSantis said a new coach will be named "as soon as possible."
He did not offer any other details on the selection process, deferring questions to Russell.
