The immunotoxic potential of domoic acid (DA), a well-characterized neurotoxin, has not been fully investigated. Phagocytosis and lymphocyte proliferation were evaluated following
Certain species of the marine diatom
In humans, DA is the causative agent of amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, seizures and permanent loss of short term memory [
DA is a rigid analog of the neurotransmitter glutamate and a potent agonist of kainate and alpha amino-5-methyl-3-hydroxyisoxazolone-4-propionate (AMPA) subtypes of the glutamate receptor [
Recent evidence emerged that glutamatergic pathways also exist in non-neuronal tissues [
The weight of evidence suggest that DA may be immunotoxic in mammals, as (1) DA was shown to be immunotoxic in bivalves [
Assays to measure immunotoxicity included peripheral blood leukocyte phagocytosis and mitogen-stimulated lymphocyte (splenocyte) proliferation upon DA exposure. Both functional immune assays were validated by and are part of the National Toxicology Program to predict the immunotoxicity of chemicals [
DA has not been reported to bind directly to immune cells, however, as DA is an analog of glutamate, it is possible that it binds to immune cell glutamate receptor(s) in order to mediate immune functions. Modulation of cytosolic calcium is a mechanism involved in DA-induced neurotoxicity and involves cell membrane ionotropic glutamate receptors, such as AMPA and kainate receptors [
A representative scatterplot of the flow cytometric profile of mouse peripheral blood leukocytes is shown in
Monocyte phagocytosis measured 12 hr after exposure was significantly increased in DA-exposed mice compared to control mice by 29, 38, and 77% for 1+, 2+, and 3+ beads, respectively (
Twenty-four hr after exposure, T cell proliferation (with optimal ConA) was significantly reduced (33%) compared to control mice (
Exposure to 1μM DA significantly decreased neutrophil and monocyte phagocytosis (1+ beads only) by 9 and 13%, respectively, and neutrophils phagocytosis (2+ beads only) by 13 % (
Exposure to 1 μM DA significantly increased spontaneous (12%), sub-optimal ConA-induced (18%) and optimal LPS-induced lymphocyte proliferation (12%) while exposure to 10 μM DA significantly increased only sub-optimal ConA-induced (18%) and optimal LPS-induced (8%) lymphocyte proliferation (
Mouse mean peripheral blood neutrophil, monocyte and lymphocyte fluorescence increased by 407%, 408%, and 408%, respectively, 1 min following exposure to ionomycin (data not shown), suggesting appropriate cell loading with the probe. The results for calcium mobilization upon exposure to increasing concentrations of DA are shown in
The results for calcium mobilization upon exposure to the different glutamate receptor agonists in comparison to DA are shown in
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate the immunotoxic effects of DA in any mammalian species. Previous reports demonstrated that DA was not immunotoxic either upon i
In a similar study following
Experiments were initiated to determine the mechanisms and pathways by which DA may exert its immunotoxic effects. Experiments were performed with limited numbers of mice (n=3) to assess qualitative trends in modulation of cytosolic calcium by DA, a well described effect documented in various neural and non-neural cells [
DA exposure resulted in qualitative reductions and increases in cytosolic calcium compared to unexposed control in all three leukocyte subtypes tested in the present study. Numerous reports have documented increases in cytosolic calcium in different cell types (see review by Pulido, 2008). Similarly, cytosolic calcium slightly increased in all cell types upon exposure to 100 μM DA, with the greatest increase in monocytes. However, upon exposure to 1 μM (for all cell types) and 10 μM (for neutrophils and lymphocytes), cytosolic calcium was decreased. In this case, DA may have induced calcium sequestration into the endoplasmic recticulum and/or mitochondria, a response documented by glutamate receptor agonist [
For all three immune cell subtypes, changes in cytosolic calcium were compared to changes in immune functions (upon
Limited data exists for glutamate receptors on differentiated monocytes. U937 cells (human histiocytic lymphoma derived) demonstrated differential growth and morphology upon exposure to glutamate receptor agonists depending on external glutamate concentrations [
For both T and B lymphocyte, 100 μM DA significantly reduced lymphocyte proliferation, which corresponded with a very modest increase in calcium mobilization. Although increases in cytosolic calcium have been show to reduce lymphocyte proliferation [
Though studies have identified glutamate receptor subtypes on human and rodent immune cells [
There are two possible explanations to account for differences in DA-induced immunotoxicity between
Second, modulation of immune functions
Different glutamate receptor types/expression/activity between neutrophils, monocytes, and T lymphocytes could help explain why monocytes were acutely sensitive to the effects of DA, while the response by neutrophils and T lymphocyte was delayed. Interestingly, no effects were observed for B lymphocytes, suggesting differences in surface receptors and/or signaling pathways among immune cells.
Any modulation of immune functions, whether in increase or decrease, is of concern. Although the magnitudes of the changes in immune functions were sometimes small, these changes could have significant biological consequences [
This is the first study to demonstrate the immunomodulatory effects of both
Domoic acid (DA; Sigma, St Louis, MO) was re-suspended in sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 0.5 μg/μL. Adult, 25–28 g ICR female mice (Harlan, Indianapolis, IN) were weighed and received an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of 2.5 μg/g DA (n=10 mice per exposure period) or vehicle control (PBS; n=10 mice per exposure period) with a U-100 Insulin syringe and a 28 gauge needle. This dose was chosen as it was previously shown in mice to be symptomatic but sub-lethal (Ryan, personal communication) [
From individual mouse whole blood samples, erythrocytes were lysed using NH4Cl and the leukocytes were re-suspended in Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS, Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY). Cells were washed twice with HBSS, and their viability was assessed using the exclusion dye trypan blue. Leukocytes were adjusted to 2 × 106/ml in HBSS and plated (100 μl per well) in a round bottom 96-well plate (Falcon, Becton Dickinson, Lincoln Park, NJ) in triplicate. One μm-diameter fluorescent latex beads (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) were added to the cell suspension to obtain a ratio of approximately 100 beads/cell, and cells were incubated for one hr at 37°C, under agitation at 300 rpm using a Thermomixer R (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). The cell suspension from each well was then layered on a cushion of ice cold 3% bovine serum albumin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and centrifuged at 150g for 8 min at 4°C. The supernatant containing the free beads was discarded and the cells were re-suspended in 200 μl of PBS containing 1% neutral buffered formalin (Decal Corp, Tallman, NY). Cells were stored at 4°C until analysis (within 24 hr). The fluorescence of approximately 10,000 cells was read with a FACScan (Becton Dickinson, Rutherford, NJ) flow cytometer using the CellQuest software (Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry System, San Jose, CA). Neutrophils and monocytes were gated electronically according to their relative size (forward scatter; FSC) and complexity (side scatter; SCC). The fluorescence of the cells was read at 530 nm (FL-1) on a logarithmic scale using the fluorescence of free beads as reference. Cells acquired a fluorescence equal to that of the number of beads they ingested. Phagocytosis was evaluated as the proportion of neutrophil and monocytes that had phagocytized one or more beads (1+, the proportion of all cells that participate in phagocytosis, includes 2+ and 3+), two or more beads (2+, includes 3+) and three or more beads (3+, the proportion of cells that are most efficient in phagocytosis), the endpoint of phagocytosis routinely reported [
From each individual spleen, a single cell suspension was prepared using two pairs of forceps in complete Dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM, Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with (all from Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY) 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 μM non-essential amino acids, 25 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin, along with 10 % fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, Logan, UT), hereafter referred to as complete DMEM. Mononuclear cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation on Ficoll-Paque plus (Amersham Biosciences, Uppsala Sweden) for 35 min at 990 g. The mononuclear cells were re-suspended in complete DMEM, washed once, and enumerated with their viability assessed using the exclusion dye trypan blue. Lymphocytes in complete DMEM were plated (1 × 106 cells/ml final concentration, 100 μl per well) in triplicate in 96 well flat bottom tissue culture plates (Falcon, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ). Cells were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for a total of 66 hr with the T cell mitogen concanavalin A (Con A Sigma, St. Louis, MO) or the B cell mitogen lipopolysaccharide (LPS, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Con A was used at a sub-optimal concentration (0.1 μg/ml), as well as at an optimal concentration (1 μg/ml). LPS was used at a sub-optimal concentration (0.05 μg/ml), as well as at an optimal concentration (5 μg/ml). Suboptimal concentrations were used as they proved more sensitive in detecting immunotoxicity [
In a separate experiment, individual blood samples (collected via cardiac puncture) and spleens from 10 adult ICR female mice were collected immediately after euthanasia, and processed as above, then incubated with domoic acid
In separate experiments, peripheral blood leukocytes were collected, adjusted to 2 × 106/ml, and incubated with the fluorescent Ca2+ probe, Fluo-3/acetoxymethyl (3 mM, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) in a 0.1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO)/HBSS solution at 37°C for 30 min. Cells were centrifuged for 10 min at 150 g, re-suspended in HBSS and further incubated at 37°C for an additional 30 min (to ensure cleavage of the acetoxymethyl from the probe by non-specific esterases). Cells were centrifuged for 10 min at 150 g and re-suspended in 1.6 mM CaCl2 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO)-HBSS at room temperature.
To ensure proper loading of cells with the probe, the fluorescence of a sub-sample of leukocytes was read with a FACScan (Becton Dickinson, Rutherford, NJ) flow cytometer using the CellQuest software (Becton Dickinson, Immunocytometry System, San Jose, CA) at 530 nm (FL-1) for 30 sec, followed by the addition of 1μM ionomycin (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR), an ionophore used to increase cytosolic calcium concentrations. The fluorescence was recorded for an additional 3 min.
The basal fluorescence of leukocytes was read with a FACScan flow cytometer at 530 nm (FL-1) for 10 sec. Cells were exposed to 0, 1, 10, and 100 μM DA. Cell fluorescence was recorded for 10 sec 1 min before (baseline fluorescence) and every 2 min (for 6 min) immediately following the addition of DA (time 0). Glutamate receptor agonists, kainate, AMPA, NMDA, and L-glutamate (all from Sigma, St. Louis, MO), were tested at 0 and 1μM, the same molar concentration shown to modulate phagocytosis upon

The call which Alfred M. Cohen, international president of the B'nai B'rith, has issued to American Jewry to support the order as the best weapon against anti-Semitism, deserves the attention of every Jew in America.
The B'nai B'rith, through its Anti-Defamation League, was combatting anti – Jewish propaganda in the United States long before the Nazis began their anti-Semitic activities here. It has played a very important role in fighting the Ku Klux Klan and similar movements. It has always been on guard to protect the good name and prestige of American Jewry.
The call issued by the B'nai B'rith president should, therefore, be heeded by every American Jew. It is especially timely now, in connection with McFadden's announcement that he intends to run as candidate for president of the United States on an anti-Semitic platform.

I myself didn't have much time to learn any of OSes mentioned above. Thats
why I use m0n0wall instead of FreeBSD.
But it would be more comfortable for me to manage my m0n0s from a windows
app rather than using webGUI. Change this, thange that, upload, get response
OK and you're done. The same could be with webGUI, but as you said - there

people who prefer windows app's :)
About cross-platform. Didn't study much, but I know there is MONO (not M0N0

about it so I can't say much about it. Here it is:

The real question is "Why write a Windows app for a FreeBSD based firewall?"
I am not opposed to a gui, but it should be cross-platform. Also, the
underlying tools should be built as a library so that a console/text-based
version could be built for people who prefer command-line administration.

MAX was a blast, and it was great to meet some of the Director developers face-to-face. Fun bunch that likes to stay out late 😉 Now I'm back in San Francisco, mostly recovered, and getting back to work.
First, a few announcements:
Mozilla Firefox 1.0 released today! Mozilla licensed our standard installer for the plug-in finder service. Now, when users that don't yet have the player hit content, all they have to do is click the puzzle piece to start the player install. Makes it a little easier than surfing to our site for the download.
We also published two new case studies in the Director Showcase, Science Alberta Foundation – Wonderville 3D, and Cable in the Classroom – eLECTIONS: Your Adventure in Politics
More in the world of marketing:
Someone posted on Direct-L that it would be good to have a list of big name companies and projects that use Director. This is a great idea, so feel free to send me lists of projects, companies, and contact info if possible (I need to get permission from the companies) at firstname.lastname@example.com with a subject of "Made with Director."
And finally, in the news last week:
Shockwave.com is super-sizing its marketing efforts for its GameBlast subscription service with a partnership with McDonalds. The subscriptions are just one of many gaming-related prizes in the Monopoly Best Chance Game, from November 2 through 22. (10/1/2004 news link)
By the way, Shockwave.com/GameBlast is the home of Shroomz, a Director/Shockwave game, which won the Best Web/Downloadable Game of the Year in last Friday's Billboard Digital Entertainment Awards. Unfortunately, we didn't win the Advergame category (see 10/29 post), even though Shockwave dominated with 3 of the 4 finalists slots. At least it stayed in the family – the winner was a Flash-based chicken…

So when did the first lady find out about her husband's plans for Osama bin Laden?
Did she know for weeks or months that the CIA had a bead on him? Did she know something was up the night before the May 2nd raid, when she and the president were yukking it up at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner? Did she get the sense that when her husband headed out with his clubs the next morning that he had a whole lot more on his mind than nine holes of golf?
Or did she find out along with the rest of us, when the president went on TV late that Sunday, that a team of Navy SEALs had taken out the world's top terrorist?
She's not telling.
"I don't wish to go into the details of the conversation we've had," the first lady said in an interview with USA TODAY. "We as a nation should be proud of this accomplishment. As (President Obama) said, there's no need to spike the football or to continue to relive it."

Even as much of Britain mourned America's loss and its own on Sept. 11, Muslim leaders known here as supporters of holy war seized on the moment of grief to hail Osama bin Laden as a hero and to evoke the ''positive outcomes'' of the attacks in New York and Washington.
Elsewhere in London, 3,000 white rose petals fluttered from the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral in memory of the Sept. 11 dead, who included 67 Britons. At the Regent's Park mosque in London, seen as a focus of a more cautious and conciliatory Islam, speakers insisted that Britain's three million Muslims rejected any association of their religion with terrorism.
But at the Finsbury Park mosque late on Wednesday night, widely depicted as a recruiting ground for radical Islam and thought to have been visited by the Qaeda suspects Zacarias Moussaoui and Richard C. Reid, a different mood suffused a conference called ''September 11: a towering day in history,'' advertised by posters depicting hijacked planes smashing into the World Trade Center.
Reporters were barred from the conference itself, but one of the 150 or so participants, the Saudi dissident Muhammad al-Massari, said at a news conference that the Sept. 11 onslaught ''wasn't the wisest thing, but legitimate, yes.''
''An eye for an eye as an old book says,'' he said, referring to the attacks as retaliation by Mr. bin Laden for attacks on Muslims. ''But it was only one eye for 100 eyes,'' said Mr. Massari, who is in exile and commands a following in radical Muslim circles. ''There is still much more to do.''Continue reading the main story
Mr. bin Laden, he said, was ''fighting according to his beliefs.'' He added, ''Anyone who fights according to his beliefs is a hero.''
The turnout was well below the 1,000 or so forecast by organizers. But the remarks made -- indeed the fact that the conference went ahead at all -- seemed likely to strengthen critics' accusations that the British authorities are reluctant to move against radical elements who have been linked to the recruitment of young British Muslims to fight in conflicts abroad.
Before the conference got under way, the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Paris said the gathering would ''make a mockery of the war on terrorism and encourage its perpetrators.'' But British authorities insist there is no evidence that radical Muslims associated with the Finsbury Park mosque are breaking the law.
The convention was organized by a group called Al Muhajiroun, led by the Syrian-born Omar Bakri Mohamed, which has organized recruitment drives for followers, particularly among students. At the entrance to the Finsbury Park mosque, young members of Al Muhajiroun, their faces hidden by checkered kfiyeh headdresses, barred entrance to reporters. Before the meeting, the Al Muhajiroun Web site said the ''positive outcomes'' of Sept. 11 included ''the clear crystallization of the two camps of Islam and Kufr (non-Islam), of believers and hypocrites.''
Mainstream Islamic leaders dismiss the group as insignificant. ''The Muslim community does not like extremists,'' said Mohammed Naseem, a prominent Islamic leader.
However, over the last year, British Muslims were discovered fighting for the Taliban in Afghanistan and some were reportedly imprisoned by United States forces at Guantánamo Bay. The men accused of killing the American reporter Daniel Pearl included a British-born militant, Ahmed Omar Sheikh. Mr. Reid, a Briton, is the so-called shoe-bomber, accused of trying to set fire to an American Airlines flight from Paris last December.
Spanish investigators have described Abu Qatada, a British-based Palestinian-born cleric convicted on terrorism charges in Jordan, as Al the spiritual head of Al Qaeda in Europe. Indeed, French investigators coined the term ''Londonistan'' to depict Britain as a haven for Islamic terrorists.
Reporters invited into a basement for the news conference late Wednesday night were told the room was called ''Ground Zero.''
Before the conference, Mr. Bakri Mohamed, the Al Muhajiroun leader, told reporters that Al Qaeda ''has got rational justification for what they did on Sept. 11.''
''Maybe I disagree with them,'' he said, ''but they have the right to fight back'' after United States forces ''bombed Sudan, then they bombed Afghanistan.'' He did not refer to the terrorist attacks in east Africa and Yemen that inspired the United States attacks.
Abu Hamza al-Masri, the Egyptian-born imam of the Finsbury Park mosque, who is wanted in Yemen on terrorist charges, denied that the event was a celebration of Sept. 11 but he warned Britain and the United States that they would face terrorist campaigns at home if they attacked Iraq. ''If you were on the agenda you would see suicide bombings everywhere, just like in Israel,'' he said. ''So it's simple -- stay away and preserve your people.''Continue reading the main story

Judas Eukaryote
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Judas Eukaryote was the one of the original twelve Apusozoas ( before they divided into more nuclea ) who betrayed Jesus Chrysiogenes The Procaryote by turning him over to the empire of the Eucarya. The other Apusozoas did record the flagellumia of the Chrysiogenes into there DNA ( which should account for ludicrously large amount of genes in most modern single celled life forms ) and it was known that Judas himself did in fact sequence it down. The gospel was thought to be lost throughout the billions of years of evolution and since the Judas story was thought not to be suitable for natural selection and reproduction ( Since he clearly betrayed the Chrysiogenes ) it was not sought after.
At one point it was strictly forbidden to search for or even contemplate the existence and whereabouts of the gospels of Judas for they are surely evil and full of lies. Luckily this foolish dogmatic stance has been done away with and slowly but surely the pieces of it gradually turned up. Most of the DNA sequence has been found the the most unlikely place, or so everybody thought, imaginable. I appeared that parts of the Gospel was embedded in practically every multi celled living live form on the planet and some single celled ones to. Dog's, Fish, tree's, caribou's and even humans* carried fragmented tids and tads of the code.
(* All except for the Belgians )
edit Joining Chrysiogenity
After hearing Jesus at the sermon on the membrane Judas Eukaryote, inspired by Jesus, joined the disciples and wrote the entire sermon down in his own DNA coding for future organisms. Amongst other gospels these famous verses have survived the test of time, alpha radiation or any other type of random mutation.
- yeast not, lest ye be yeasted
- turn the other membrane
- resist all Antiseptics
- love they neighbour, for it may become an mitochondria or other useful organelle.
Although at the time it would have sounded something like ag gag gctagg cttg ct tgaaggc gg aggg..
edit 12 Apusozoas
Following this literal life changing event of hard-coding the teachings into it's own genetic coding Judas Eukaryote began to go forth and multiply. Although the going forth part was not really a matter of choice since Judas had not yet evolved flagella.
From the old genoment
| And Judas did devideth once and behold there was he and another.
And Jesus called it Petre dish. And peter said but my name is Simon. It's alright Petre, Jesus said.
And so Judas divided 4 times bringing forth 2 4 8 and eventually 16 Followers. Alas on the second divide one brother was hit by a stray alpha particle of big bang background radation and with it's DNA in shreds he was nothing more then a puddle of cytoplasmic pulp. Also on the second divide the forth entity rejected the teachings and went away to pursue the goal of photosynthesis. On the fourth divide there was a new random mutation that allowed future bearer of this code almost unlimited knowledge power and strength that would have ushered life itself to a whole new level of existence if it where not for the fact that this mutation was not sustainable for life. The last follower to fall just was an utter bastard and therefore had his ribosome's ripped out and hung from a long stringy polymer molecule.
All of these 12 followers of Jesus Chrysiogenes where to spread his teaching by means of meiosis and there for added it to there own DNA.
edit Betrayal
Although most ideas the Prokaryote Jesus preached where mostly harmless and probably had some real merit, there where some ideas that he spread that did not go over to well with the local authority. Mostly because apart form mutual respect between Prokaryotes and Eukaryote, for they may help each other in equally beneficial ways, and believing that chloroplasts are the Sheppard's through the Vacuole of darkness, he also believed and vibrated about the concept that osmotic pressure is not the only way of harvesting necessary supplements and sustenance. And on top of that he had the nerve to state that one day their kind would clump together to become one and multiply by fusing together there nuclei.
Of cource the notion did not sit well with other single celled communities, especially the Prokaryotes, of with Jesus himself was a member who could not ever participate in this whole ludicrous endeavour. But it was the Eukaryotes, like Judas, who where completely outraged by this notion.
|To imagine a cooperation between hundreds or thousands of us in order to act like one massive giant life form is madness ! We could never achieve that level or organisation.
The final straw was drawn when Jesus merged with Maria mitochondria and mutually reaped what they had sewn. There symbiosis was complete and it was good. Too good even.
It was felt this idea of multi-celled life was borderline blasphemy. Judas, although a fierce and loyal follower to this point could not understand why his master would say and do such evil things, poisoning the primordial soup that spawned them. It was this event that drove him to the act of turning Jesus over to the eukaryote empire.
edit Gospel of Judas
All the Apusozoas coded there own version of the happenings within there code, but fear of persecution let them to omit and obfuscate large pieces of this history. But not Judas. His guild tormented him utterly from his semi-permeable lipid bi-layer to the depths of his Endoplasmic reticulum his thoughts where haunted by his terrible deed. In repenting he told the entire tale in his nucleus from the sermon on the membrane to tale of the future multi-celled lifeforms that need not solely to rely on osmotic pressure. Ironically it is through him that the foundation was made for the first multi-celled being to begin and eventually lead to the more complex life that after a while took on a multitude of forms and even left the soup to wander the "so called" land.
edit Translations
Although the text of the scriptures has been available in plain sight for somewhere between 4.4 billion and 6010 years it's modern translation came relatively late. Some bibliogenesis experts have blamed science for obstructing and sabotaging the effort by deliberately obfuscating the content of the holy genetic material. One claim states that the letters used to define divine DNA have been carefully chosen not to allow translation into the ancient gospel of Jesus and Judas as believed to exist within every chromosome today.
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of 4 nucleotides and the letters that have been assigned to them by the treacherous scientists are A C T and G (Adenine, Cytosine thymine and Guanine). These name are useless meaningless obfuscation of the true language of truth. Look closely, closer. still a bit closer. Now back away a bit, you are freaking me out, but see only 4 letter. MMmm only four (tetra). Lets clear up this vile concoction of science by replacing the letters by there true symbols in order to read the holy texts as they where written down by the early enzymes.
- A becomes Y
- C becomes H
- T becomes W
- G becomes H
Making the polymer formerly known as DNA into Deusxyribotetragrammatonnic acid (TPFADNAIDTA or DTA).
Notice how fiendishly the biologists assigned four letters when in reality the heavenly language is trinary. In retrospect this all seems to logical for we have known about the 3-sidedness of the trinity for centuries. But to find out that this truth has so malevolently been kept hidden away from the culture is unbelievable.
Finally we had the correct set of attributed to decipher the magnificent work of divine inspiration that we find on our genetic material. We took the Letters Y,H and W and statistically analysed the "SEEMINGLY" random distribution throughout the genome. By cross-referencing patterns that match known place names, individual names and dates and so forth that have been more or less preserved for us. This way of investigation provided a assurance of nearly a 100% that if we found a matching pattern in 2 or more placed we would have cracked the key and could finally read the true text of the ancients. Alas none was ever found. It didn't even produce a single comprehensible sentence let alone the wisdom of the ages ( in a conveniently packaged readable format ). For all we knew it could seem that DNA was nothing more then a self-supporting self-replicating mechanism that changes over time by minute random changes and natural selection, which is of course a silly notion. The idea that mortal entities could ever add or change any form of holy scripture is unpalatable and insane to the highest degree.
Well, not to worry. We have managed to uphold silly believe systems for centuries without a hint of plausible evidence, I'm sure we could manage a few decades more until we fabricate, ehh Discover some tangible proof of our divine creator.
It is a good thing that faith does not waver easily and soon after this small setback new projects where started to interpret the code that soon started to yield results.
- in 1992 a group named science for Jesus started to randomly assign a Y H or W to any random set of codons and this revolutionary and visionary result shocked the scientific community when it came up with the words "Jeebs waz here!!!" that they found with a random base pair interval of 1 to 100.
- in 1998 the militant right-wing Christian white supremacists in a joint venture with the church of latter-day saints did a study where they randomly assigned any letter in the alphabet that has ever been used to write ( or not write ) the name of god or any other biblical figure to any codon with a unlimited randomly chosen interval. Amazingly they found no less then 4 clear distinct reverences to something called a "den fagelburg". After dismissing this to be a place of worship in former east Germany it was established that this was, in fact Aramaic for "Shitty fag music" which in turn translates to "Dan Fogelberg" in English. Since it was mentioned 4 times in the holy DNA code it was empirically logical to simply assume that 4 solo albums from Fogelberg should be placed backwards and that it would carry subliminal divine messages. After careful sonic analysis of 4 solo albums by Dan Fogelberg (1975 Captured Angel, 1993 River of Souls, 1981 The Innocent Age and the 1986 Turning people gay album) ,being played backwards at various speeds, the researchers found the following earth shattering proof of the holy nature of genetic material. Through the entirety of Fogelbergs albums, when played backwards at 27RPM he constantly speaks in tongues in the language of the angles. And if that is not enough proof for you he has also been heard saying " Abiogenesis is poopy ", "Jebus is lurd" and " get me out of here, these evil producers force me to record this godshyte music". Unfortunately these results can not be checked since any trace of any dan fogelberg album has since then vanished along with all other master recordings or copies.
edit Misinterpretation
Although it is known today that the whole story is told somewhere near the gene VMAT2 for long times us multi-celled organisms have misinterpreted this hard-wired wisdom that made us what we are today. Even forgetting our own single celled microscopic past and for long times not even recognizing our own brethren who reside everywhere, on our skin, in our bodies in the ground, looking after us and the flat disc that is our planet.
Death by the cross was in those early proto-organic times of yesteryear a very common occurrence. It is not that Jesus alone did bare this fate. The early symbiotic adventures that the simple lifeforms came with all kinds of great peril. DNA sequence error checking mechanisms went horribly wrong, mutation run amok and certain stands back then proofed to be unsustainable by live. So was the fate of the chrystiogenis for one of his Chromosomes developed a mutation that mangled the cross shaped molecule into a slightly lesser cross shaped molecule. Although these mutations made him have these wonderful new and illuminating Protein biosynthetic experiences to which his gospel was recorded this sequence was, alas in the long run, not a key benefit for survival and therefore not sustainable.
edit The X mas
This brings us to another point of much debate. Whether the unsustainable X chromosome that killed the chystiogenis was actually an early form of gender differentiating DNA. This hypothesis goes hand in hand with DNA literalism that claims the prediction of peaceful non parasitic symbiosis between two simple forms of proto-live also entailed the prediction of multi celled lifeforms. The notion that the full extent of the complexity of higher forms of life could be known by a single fatally mutated prokaryotic endoplasmatic piece of goo is absurd to the widest degree. Every piece of evidence points to single celled organelle forming by means of symbiosis. More specific, although frowned upon by the membranial purist ( one cell one genome ) this practice had been going of for a substantial number of reproductive cycles. Jesus merely vibrated about it openly and thus making it more acceptable.
Chromatin apologetics goes even further in there claim for the existence of a divine sequencer by pointing to another set of allegories that they of course take seriously and, while they are at it, out of context. The claim lies in the believe that the X chromosome and the Y chromosome where created at much the same time and that the Y chromosome was first. Modern knowledge does not share any part of this view. But it goes on. Seemingly , according to this account , the almighty gene splicer make the X chromosome by taking out a part of a ribosome.
edit Fermented curd
Finally the famous re-enactment of the sermon on the mount from Monty Pythons Live of Brian shows a humanoid Jesus figure stating that " Blessed are the cheese makers ". It is often , mistakenly , interpreted by prokaryotians to be taken as direct reference to a certain proteolytic enzyme. This is , of couse , utter non sense and shows us that both humanoid scripture and Monty Python should not be taken seriously.
edit Reverences in culture
Clear references are made to the microscopically small, and therefore impossible to proof origins of the religions, in several meditational chants and, for instance, Gregorian hymns like corpus christi endoplasmatic re-ti-cu-lum.

Wallis to Beck: "Christians can have different views of ... government but still agree that social justice is crucial"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From Jim Wallis March 12 post on the bog God's Politics:
Since I challenged your saying that "social justice" was a code word for Communism and Nazism, and your calling on Christians to leave their churches if their pastors preach social justice, you have begun to modify what you are saying - and I appreciate that. You said social justice was a "perversion of the gospel" and I countered that to assert that instead, it is at the heart of the gospel and part of the core meaning of biblical faith. And the church authorities you wanted Christians to turn their pastors in to would all agree that social, economic, and racial justice are all integral to the message of Jesus.
But now you've moved from labeling social justice as Communist or Fascist to saying it only means "big government" and that it violates the separation of church and state. Then you said that some Christians mean Marxism by that term, but some do not. Then you said that if social justice means "empowering" people to act individually that might be okay. Well, that's progress, but there's still some needed conversation here. Christians can have different views of the role of government but still agree that social justice is crucial. Very few who believe that are "Marxists." And while we all preach empowerment to live out the gospel, we don't think the meaning of social justice should be reduced to just private charity. Biblical justice also involves changing structures, institutions, systems, and policies; as well as changing hearts to be more generous. So there is still a lot to talk about here.
Now that you're willing to admit that social justice is more than just a code word, we have a wonderful opportunity for the two of us to sit down together and have an open and public discussion on what social justice really means and how Christians are called to engage in the struggle for justice.

Book Review: The Shack
by terry mathews - news-telegram arts editor
The Shack
By William P. Young
$14.99. 248 pp.
Windblown Media
July 18, 2008 - Life must be pretty sweet for William P. (Paul) Young right now.
He no longer has to work as a janitor or handyman. He's on his way to being a millionaire.
Young's first book, originally written as a Christmas present for his six children in 2005, debuted in the top spot on the New York Times Trade Paperback Fiction best sellers list on June 8. His publisher says sales have passed the 1 million mark.
"The Shack," tells the story of Mackenzie Allen Phillips, Mack to his friends, a man who is overcome by The Great Sadness when his young daughter, Missy, vanishes during a camping trip. While her body is never discovered, the red sundress she was wearing when she disappeared is found, covered with blood, in an abandonded shack.
One winter day, Mack receives an unsigned note in his mailbox.
"Mackenzie: It's been a while. I've missed you. I'll be at the shack next weekend if you want to get together. ?- Papa"
"Papa" is the name Mack's wife, Nan, uses when she talks about God.
Mack is at once repulsed and curious about the invitation to return to the place that holds such painful memories.
He decides to make the trip - and his life is forever changed.
He anticipates meeting either Missy's killer or "Papa" himself.
After finding neither good nor evil, Mack tears up the note and shouts, "So where are you? I thought you wanted to meet me here. Well, here I am, God. And you? You're nowhere to be found! You've never been around when I've needed you - not when I was a little boy, not when I lost Missy. Not now! Some 'Papa' you are."
He storms down the path leading away from the shack, but is stopped by a dramatic change in his surroundings - think Dorothy waking up in the technicolor world of Oz.
The shack is transformed into a lovely home and Mack is met by three unusual characters.
Elouisa, "a large African-American woman," welcomes hiw with a warm hug.
Sarayu, a dimunitive Asian woman, floats in and asks to collect Mack's tears.
A Jewish man who says it's OK to call him by his common name - Jesus - invites him to his carpentry workshop to work on a very special project.
During the next 48 hours, Mack's wounds are healed and his spirit is renewed, thanks to the three gentle people who show him the meaning of God's undying love and infinite grace.
"The Shack" has won fans and attracted critics since its release in hardback at the end of last year.
Some ministers urge their congregations to read it. Others call it heresey. There are dozens of blogs on the Internet, both pro and con. Whatever your viewpoint, Paul Young has given us a story that goes a step beyond the traditional view of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
I found the book to be uplifting, full of hope and a welcome oasis in a world too occupied with separation and sadness.

Come visit! This LEGO sculpture of the Empire State Building is on display at the top of the real Empire State Building. Visitor information
Over 4 feet tall and detailed with over 13,000 tiny LEGO bricks, this sculpture of The Empire State Building was commissioned as the centerpiece of the Empire State Building's new gift shop.
Located at the Empire State Building observation deck, It's the ~highest~ LEGO sculpture in the world!
The top of the real Empire State Building is lit up every night in different colors. Most US holidays are commemorated with the familiar red, white, and blue lighting scheme that most New Yorkers know well. It serves as a beacon in the center of midtown Manhattan every night.
Atop the mast, Little Kong triumphs the climb.
The famous tapered look of the Empire State Building is due to "setback" laws, established in the 1920s, that require buildings to slowly recede as they get higher.
I really just like playing with the cars.
Buildings make interesting models, but adding the human element really makes the model come alive. This little street scene at the base of the model gets more attention than the building itself!
Along with lots of microscale taxis, the street scene includes a New York City red double-decker tour bus, a small yellow pedicab, a glass delivery truck, a Smart Car, an articulated bus, and a 3-wheeled traffic police vehicle (about to give a parking ticket!)
Above is a photo of the model installed at the Empire State Building's observation deck gift shop.
in 2003, I'd created a less detailed model for a celebrity event at a galleria in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood. Situated as the centerpiece of an International Design Gallery, it model was flanked by works from over 50 international designers and celebrities, including Kenneth Cole, Sophia Lauren, and Courtney Cox. This older model has been broadcast on TV around the world and has been featured in LEGO Company marketing.

Within walking distance of town centre. Friendly, helpful owners. Traffic on street over cobbles a little noisy
Friendly welcome to B&B Hortensia, great attention to detail while we were there, perfect place to stay in Ypres.
pleasant friendly owners good breakfast clean in nice area understand the owners are new and intend to re-decorate the bedrooms bedrooms basic tv did not work on remote also no tea /coffee making facilities no hairdryer very basic unable to take room until 5pm was not made aware of this very cold snowy day had to park some way away and wait to get in to bb
The hotel is in the middle of Ypres next to Lille gate and provides a great standard of comfort. A good bed, a good nights sleep and a wholesome breakfast are the hallmarks of Hortensia. No hesitation in recommending.
From the wonderful welcome on arrival to leaving we could not have been treated better if we had been family.
Incredibly friendly hosts. Rooms were great, very open and particularly clean. Surprisingly good breakfast. Nothing - it was all good
Genuinely very good accomodation and excellent hosts
Lovely welcome, Helpful friendly hosts, Perfect location, Local free parking, Excellent breakfast, Very comfortable, Tea & coffee available in room all day. None
We had a very good comfortable stay. English spoken and understood Breakfast super. Near enough to walk to the Menen Gate
Easy to find,comfortable and clean, knowledgable host.
Our host was very helpful in pointing out sights to see and how to get there. The bathroom was two separate rooms without doors.
Everything, wonderful place! Nothing
B&B was very good, the owner very helpful, 15mins walk to the centre of town. Good if you want go for the experience of seeing Menin Gate. nothing
Beautifully modern but warm and welcoming. Hosts were extremely friendly, helpful and spoke good English. Very close to the heart of Ypres and the railway station despite this it was on a very quiet side street.
Very friendly welcome and clean rooms with all facilities
the very welcoming reception from owner - as we turned up earlier than expected
Host really went out of his way to make the stay most enjoyable and was most helpful; well-furnished rooms close to town centre; excellent breakfast and complimentary coffee and tea anytime Our 13-year old (third person in room) was charged slightly more than an adult.
The b & b was of exceptional value. The host and hostess were very friendly and helpful with places of interest and food options in their city. None at all.
This small B and B outshines many 4 star hotels. The owner offers warm hospitality, meticulous attention to detail, comfort and a wonderful buffet breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble. It was like staying in a family home, but without being intrusive. A wonderful stay! The only 'difficulty', probably due to us inhibited British, was not having a door on the toilet space.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I only started the Leximar today, I have been on the others for very long time, except the Xanor which was started in hospital.
I already tried to say I am really sorry but he ignores me. So I have to start with new dr to review my meds. But yes, I do feel abandoned and before I was admitted to hospital, I tried to commit suicide - luckily my family found me. I never felt like this before and the therapist does not help. I still have a week sick leave but I don't feel good
I'm really depressed and confused. The psygiatrist said I also have Border Line Personality Disorder. And my work said that although my work is good this is my last chance. Since December all I had is bad luck. I don't know how to deal with this anymore.

Now is day 6 and I'm finally believing that I will be back soon in the world of the living. I can't say whether it was worth it yet, but I will post in a week or two to update.
I am 50 years old and wanted a one time treatment to help my eye creping, which I could no longer cover with makeup. Also, had some crows feet and a bit of everything else, but no real big issues. Just hoping to turn the clock back a few years.
Day 0: Husband drove me to the center and they gave me a vicodin and something for anxiety. The assistment put numbing cream all over my face for about 20 minutes and then came in and said they were just going to create some holes in my face so they could go deeper on the Total fx. Later found out this was a light pass of the active fx. After that, they put more numbing cream on and I think I waited another half hour. Dr did deep fx on 20% (around eyes and around mouth and chin) and then did active fx on whole face and half of neck. It was painful, but tolerable. I don't know the level, but will call later in the week to find out. I think it was all pretty deep, because the doc did the first light pass and put a second round of cream on. I haven't seen where anyone else does this. I was kind of loopy and needed help walking to the car. I looked very scary, especially where the deep fx was done. Kind of a hot burn for a couple of hours. Lots of goopy Aquifor keeps it moise.
Day 1: Didn't sleep well, but stayed in the recliner all night to keep from getting Aquifor all over bed. I woke up and looked in the mirror and was very swollen, but could see through tiny slits in my eyes. Hubby went to work and took a shower and washed face a couple of times with Cedaphil. Very red/brown and starting to get crusty face. Not really much pain, but stayed up on Extra Strength Tylenol and Zovorax (I am very prone to cold sores). The tightness of skin is uncomfortable, so I tried not to move my head or face much. I don't have little kids around, but if you do, they really shouldn't see you for a few days. Inside, I was a little panicky, because I couldn't imagine having a normal face again:)
Day 2: Still very swollen, brownish-red and am starting to peel, especially around mouth and nose. Chin looks so nasty. Wondering what I got myself into. Haven't had facial procedures before, so it was all kind of a shock. Uncomfortable, but not much actual pain.
Day 3: Swelling subsiding some and can see better. Taking 2-3 showers a day feels so good--pin my hair pack to it doesn't get on my face. Used Cedaphil and gently rubbed my face and got all the old Aquaphor off. Face is beat red. Started getting bee-like stinging in my chin, which is now blazing red. Applied Bactine, but not much help. Very painful and it about drove me crazy.
Day 4: Swelling is way down and I recognize myself again. Old wrinkles are mostly gone, skin looks beautiful, but face is very, very pink and neck is still hurting a lot and is still flaming red. Called dr and he said to try Cort-aid. It really burnt, so I didn't apply anymore. Face is rawer and redder where the deep fx was done, but I was already told that the deep fx would take a couple of extra days. Also, I know that necks are slower to heal, but the stinging is really ticking me off. I live an hour away from Dr and unless I have problems, they don't schedule follow-up. Doc also gave me me a sleeping prescription and I was looking forward to a good nights sleep. I tried putting a cooling fan on my face and slept in the recliner again, and together with the sleeping aid, I slept almost 10 hours. Yeah!!!
Day 6: (today) Swelling down more and noticed about 4 whiteheads in chin/mouth area. Chin still rough with grid marks from the deep fx and neck still very red, but alas, not stinging. The fan is my salvation. I think things are on track, but face is still mildly warm and very pink. I can't wait for normal color. Feel much better today, call dr and they said to give it a couple of more days holed up in the house. I am going to Vegas on Sunday (6 more days) and I sure hoping I have great progress until then. In a week or two, I'll follow-up with before and after photos. Warning - they will be scary!!!
Total FX - Now Day 6
Now is day 6 and I'm finally believing that I will...
Now is day 6 and I'm finally believing that I will be back soon in the world of the living. I can't say whether it was worth it yet, but I will post in a week or two to update.

Breakfast was free Rom was dirty asked to be move to another room. Guy at the desk acted like I was putting him out to do his job. Did feel like I was a valued customer. Rooms out dated and the price was not worth it.
Rate was good Access to room was fine Room was clean Newer in-wall AC unit Quiet (mostly) Parking was free (and had enough spaces) WiFi was working, but barely It's a little tricky to get in/out of (have to be traveling in the right direction on Campbell Ave, not the easiest freeway access despite being next to the freeway) It's quite loud when people walk outside your room (upstairs)
Friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. Excellent location for our purposes. Clean and comfortable rooms.
Room carpet very stained, couldn't tell if it had been cleaned. No matresss pad. Faucets loose, black mold in shower.....
location. I use to put all my clients at this hotel and conduct meetings there because of their proximity to us. The customer loved it because of what was around the hotel and the hotel was in very good condition. Run down, needs a total overhaul. Has lots of competition in the surrounding area, but they could be so attractive, plus they are known because they have been there for so long. Their price was lower than hotels right around them, but that is because they are so run down (by today's standards). They should go for it and update the whole hotel and then advertise the hell out of it. It could be considered a boutique hotel which would differentiate it from other brand name hotels.
The location is in a very nice area of Campbell. You can walk to Downtown Campbell with ease and there are good dining options around. The breakfast is very good; it proved beyond expectations. This place is shady and dirty. The jacuzzi wasn't officially closed during our stay....but the grey grime floating in it did not entice a dip. The walkways were covered in trash and bird feces. Cobwebs adorned the railings throughout the complex. Some of the doors DO NOT latch completely; in your carelessness it could be very easy to leave the door completely ajar. The shades and curtains do not cover the windows entirely, leaving late sleepers suffering through sunlite.
Very friendly, professional front desk staff, clean room, great location. Even complimentary breakfast. Definitely great value! Nothing!
Friendly front desk, clean room, extensive breakfast that ends 10am Monday thru Friday and 11am weekends and holidays.
Location. Great breakfast. Quiet. Broken door lock.
Very friendly staff, overall the rooms are nice, clean. Bed was comfortable. Close to where I needed to be for meetings. Breakfast room was large, clean, good selection, good coffee. Would return for work trips, especially for the price! Took >10 minutes for the hot water to get warm...so much so that the first day I showered I didn't even notice the water getting very warm at all even after letting the water run and run for several minutes. My room must have been the farthest from the water heater! Additionally, the room coffee maker had ~1cm of stagnant looking water sitting at the bottom of the reservoir (gross), though because of the free coffee with breakfast it did not matter.
Well kept facility, good breakfast for the price, best price in the area for a hotel with two beds in a room, close to Shoreline Amphitheater. Out of the way location.
Convenient location; always feel welcome - have stayed there 15-20 times over past 3-4 years. No
I was bitten by the bedbugs. It was terrible!
It was where I needed it to be. It was clean and easy to deal with through Kayak. Just a place to sleep. Nothing noteworthy.
Close to the airport. Outside: -Obvious drug deals visible from the check-in office. -Prostitutes and their escorts in the halls. -Various men with dogs wandering the parking lot. Inside: -Plastic covered mattresses. -Noisy AC unit. -Broken refrigerator. -Cigarette burns on furniture and shower. -Thin walls.
Location It was loud, dirty and had lot's of "suspicious" customers. Definitely not recommended.
Nothing It's vert old and dirty, so smelly. I couldn't tell what was in the sink!
Value-for-money, clean and quiet Very limited facilities Basic Wi-Fi could be included in the room package; daily charges for paid Wi-Fi access on the higher side
Staff Not secure quite a lot of police activity and window of my truck was smashed in and my stuff was stolen. Room was cheap till you figure cost of repairs to truck. Not safe
Dirty and noisy. I was there for five days and had to get new key cards twice because they stopped working.
Quiet No access to sodas after certain time
The worst experience ever. I'll never stay again.
There was nothing good about this motel The building is falling apart. The stairs are held up by boards...very unsafe!!! Very scared. Lots of yelling, slamming doors, kicking and beating on walls. People digging in the dumpster. Couldn't stay another night. Had our money refunded.
Easy access to 101 freeway and San Jose airport Very slow wifi and lack of open electrical plugs.
May not be the swankiest place around, but bed was warm and comfortable, and shower hot. Staff very helpful. Wi-Fi, cable, refrigerator, and airport shuttle. Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at location of table in room
It was clean. Very very old facility. Uncomfortable. Cheap as hell. Three little tiny pillows. Couldn't even get a big pillow. They claim to have breakfast but it's a few muffins and some cereal. No plastic plates or silverware. And you can't take anything back to your room. Overall it was just a terrible experience.
Location was convenient to my work. No shampoo provided
Place looked nasty, sure sheets seemed clean but old, run down, and flat pillows. Nasty green carpet from the 70's, and just reminded me and my wife of the rich motel. Everything really, especially the uncomfortable beds!
The whole thing felt dirty, nothing in the room feels inviting. Also, that was the worst bed to sleep in, my neck is still killing me.
There is no lock to the restroom in the room.
I liked how decent it looked for the price we payed it was a nice place. Clean enough for us as in no blood or insects crawling around like other hotels reviews I had read. Nice little studio type of rooms with nice wood floors and a big enough queen bed for two The shower was a one person shower so it wasn't very spacious. The beds were not very comfy but if staying over night it's not a big deal and lastly the locations of the staircases were a bit confusing.
None Pictures posted on their website did not come close to what the hotel looked like upon arrival. Hotel claimed they were under renovation; place had materials all around the Hotel. Room itself was questionable. Had to buy a sheet at Walmart to cover the bed since it's questionable how the condition of the bedding. Room door was flimsy and big gap on the door seem that lights comes through from the freeway lighting. Towels were very small and rough. Internet connection expires at the end of each day and you'll have to keep requesting a new connection for the duration of your stay. Plugging for electronics is hardly accessible.
Location Too loud, could hear traffic all night.
Close to airport, easy to find. Cochroaches, popcorn in my bed, broken electrical plate covers, constant pot oder, could see through to the out side via door gap when it was closed and hair in shower.... like 2ft long wad of hair on the shower wall and pubes in the tub. Also if any one used water i could hear it via the pipes shaking. Just yuck. I slept on top of the blankets. Dont stay here.
Friendly Staff, Continental Breakfast, Comfy Beds/Pillows and Several Hundred Cable Channels... Shower Head for People Under 5' & a Couple of Bugs in the Bathroom...
Convenience and location were not bad as I had to be somewhere early the morning after my stay and it allowed me to get there with time to spare. Check in was fairly simple and the room was easy to locate. The price of the room is the last good point of my stay, as it was Super Bowl weekend when I was at this hotel and they were one of the cheapest rooms for the one night I needed. Where should I start.... The room I received a key card for was on the side of the hotel closest to the freeway exit ramp. So, during the night when an officer went to pull over someone, and used his bullhorn, I was woken up. The room seemed out of place and too small for the amount of furniture in it, as there was a table pushed over a chair, near the door. The corridor light (1st floor) was right outside my door, so every time I turned over, I thought I had slept through my alarm and couldn't go back to sleep. The flooring seemed "warped" near the bathroom door (near the sink). It wasn't flat and it made a "crunch" noise when stepping on that area.
Nothing everything was horrible Bathroom was dirty like someone had just checked out. Room had a funny smell. We didn't stay we drove over an hr home after our game because i was not going to stay in that filth. Will never go back again
Location off of highway, very easy to find. Located in somewhat of a bad area of town. Random homeless/ drug users wandering around property at late hours of the night. Flet unsafe to leave room at night. Room had patches in the ceiling. Bathroom corners and corners of room were dirty with built up. Furniture was dirty and broken/ missing pieces. Overall a hotel worth half the price I paid to stay there, book with a well known chain hotel.
Would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy I disliked everything
Graffiti in my room! Horrible smell, no comforter, no fitted sheet. I had a flat sheet and a blanket, and I visited during January. I should've stayed at Motel 6
Heater didnt work.
Close enough to Great America theme park. Lousy free breakfast (it was literally just toast and cereal), had to kill a roach in bathroom suggesting it might have a bug problem. For the price we got though it wasn't to bad.
Nothing The roaches and management
The room is not cramped and was clean. The heater worked properly and it was not difficult to set a comfortable temperature. This appears to be a family-run place, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I did not use the kitchenette, and I am not sure the stove (and oven) was hooked up to the gas. The kitchen had a mini-refrigerator, microwave oven, coffee maker, and small table. The Wi-Fi worked very well and was fast enough for my needs. The price was very reasonable for the area. Parking is a little different, with no marked spaces. It appears that you can park on the other side of the street (3 hour parking from 8 am to 6 pm) if you cannot park on the property. The lobby is not constantly staffed, you need to ring a bell and wait to be buzzed in. I was unable to figure out how to change the channel on the TV. Only one TV channel (channel 3) had a signal, and that only had the History channel. Perhaps another remote was needed to change the channel fed to the TV.
I liked the retro feel, but basically clean and not old.
The room was comfortable and clean on the inside. It was quiet and in a good area. Good water pressure in the shower. Good tv. No ice machine! Scary looking exterior. ...surprised to find a nice room on the inside. No pool. All the motels in this area are way overpriced.
An older motel in a mostly residential neighbourhood, well kept, clean, nice owner, great price, perfect for our one night stop over.
Overall it's ok for a quick stay! And the only thing I enjoy there is because the room have a coach and free bottle of water as compliment. The room has a smell like whore house! And the bed are not so comfortable to lay on. Extremely very firm bed and it make little noise when you moved a round it. It sounded like it's been used up so much and Very old bed that need to be replaced!
You can park in front of your room. Wittle motel is located near shopping centers and restaurants. I was able to check out later then the checkout time. The price paid for the room was good compared to similar motels/hotels in the area. The room comes with two free water bottles. They clean the room and do your bed everyday. Check in time was at 3pm, I arrived at 3:30pm to check in but i couldn't because my room wasnt ready yet so I didn't get my room until after 4pm. Many things inside the room are old and need to be replaced; the furniture is faded and had stains inside the drawers, the towels had rips in them & were worn out, the king size bed was squeaky. The housekeeping lady was using a shopping cart for her cleaning supplies, she deserves an actual charlie cart. Although they clean the room and do your bed everyday, there is no safe box for you to keep your money and/or valuables in, so you have to be cautious of what you leave inside your room while your not there. The lady that oversees this motel isn't fond of having kids and children stay here because she feels they will abuse the rooms.
comfortable bed sheets weren't clean neither were some of the towels tv was static no pool or hot tub kayak says there is supposed to be
Service was friendly, quick and simple. Happy to help with directions. The water temperature in the sink was didn't get cold.
The location was close to downtown and the airport. It was a $90 room vs $200 for a Hampton Inn or similar close by. It was definitely an Inn and not a hotel but the location was safe and rooms were clean and retail was close for dinner. For the price and expectations it was fine. Being a smaller inn and independent you get what you pay for. It was clean and everything worked but it was a bit noisy being next to a busy road and it was raining and the rain flowing through the gutters was quite loud.
Leaving early Feeling like I might be robbed or killed at any moment.
Usually stay at Hilton properties (every Hilton/Mariott was sold out the week I was in town) so that's what I have to base my review on. They were remodeling and trying to improve cleanliness. The staff was friendly. Close to airport, $10 uber ride to downtown. Property was older, somewhat dirty, motel like with parking lot in front of rooms...
Staff was friendly. Fairly close to shops and attractions if you have a car. This hotel was very old, doors open to parking lot with large windows that were not very secure, the bathrooms had rusty features, the tub was stained, spiderwebs in windows, thin towels, and minimal toiletries, the rooms were stuffy, the thermostat didn't work. I would not choose to stay here alone.
I liked the fact they don't use that bug spray in the room most hotels in that price class use. The furniture in the room is newish and the bedsheets didn't have any faint skidmarks that didn't get washed out. What do you expect?? This is a cheap place (even though you sold it to me for $80+ when it's worth $65 after taxes). Hotel staff does not place a hold on the credit card for incidentals but charges the credit card after the guest arrives for $100. This means I have to monitor that those $100 are returned and this is extra work I do not appreciate. I think $80+ whatever I paid is totally overpriced for this hotel, what the hell are you people thinking? The place is also loud and the blinds in the room afford little privacy.
The room was big and roomy Location and overall appearance of the hotel. It's a rundown place that had a half ass face lift. I also didn't like the fact that the front desk accusede of smoking and denied me from ever booking there again. I wouldn't stay here even if they paid me.
This has a motel feel.
The location was good, but other than that, I didn't like anything about this place. I found a live cockroach in the room. The room was dirty, the facilities were poorly maintained. The walls were paper thin. Do yourself a favor and spring for a nicer hotel.
I liked how quickly they responded when the shower head in my bathroom did not produce enough water flow when taking a shower. I brought the issue to their attention in the morning, and by the early evening when I returned to my room they installed a brand new shower head that works excellent. They really wanted to please! I wish they had a bigger breakfast.
I like how the beds are big and the rooms are comfy. Very clean
Close to historic downtown. Rooms need upgraded .. Ceilings stained .. Tub was old and peeling. Old style TV
Room was clean, staff was able to satisfy request for location on ground floor. Continental breakfast was a joke. But Denny's gives 10% off. Tub is worn, but shower worked fine.
It was very close to 49er stadium. There was no bar on site. The bar was about a half mile from the location of the room. We had to literally break the door down to get into the room. After getting our room key and not being able to get in we went to the front desk and the lady said to ram the door with our shoulder. we went to her a second time with the same problem. she finally came out and tried to get inside but could not. after about four tries we finally were able to get into the room but it broke the latch off the door making it easily accessible for anyone to get in if they wanted too...Overall not a bad place to stay but I would not recommend just because of the overall experience at that location...very poor customer service.
Cleanliness and facilities are ok Employees never address complaints. The breakfast was really bad and was mostly over half our before the time mentioned.
friendly front desk guy, clean restroom, clean carpet floor...you have a fridge,tv,desk,private restroom,shower, plenty of towels, shampoo and soap
Bed was comfortable, clean. Pretty much everything else. For #170/night I would hope for a whole lot more. 'Breakfast' was particularly disappointing. Building shook anytime anybody ran up/down stairs.
There was a fridge and a microwave, a couch, many pillows etc standard room nothing extraordinary Remote did not work had to go change it, carpet was so filthy that when I walked barefoot for a few minutes my feet were black it's disgusting
Dried poop on toilet bowl from who knows when. Dirt everywhere. Uncomfortable pillows. TV did not work properly. Water bottle dispenser outside out of order for 4 days. It goes on an on. Nothing
Everything was great for me and my boyfriend stay thanks! :-)
It was near the Great Mall, about 15-20 minutes walk. It has microwave, tv, ref, and bathtub.I like the beds. they were neat and big.
Booked online and had no issues. Nothing fancy. All good.
I like everything I saw.
The hotl gives a correct attention and is according you pay for it. I'lcome back. the location
The room.had a mini-fridge and a microwave The bed didn't have many blankets jest two sheets, the Jacuzzi tub's drain wouldn't close, the pillows were absolutely terrible, the bed was very run down, there was a constant ticking noise from the fridge, and the staff tried hitting on me but I tried to make the best of it since I paid.
You pay for budget price & get budget service.Didn't like the noise level. Didn't like the queen size bed. It feel like it's only a full size fit . Not comfortable for tall & American sized guests.
Only the price. Domestic violence in thee parking lot. Dirty room. Roaches.
Was upgrated to a king for same price. Friendly staff. Very clean. Smoke free room. Continental breakfast not good.
Close to airport and mall. heavy desinfectant odor in the room (although the room was clean)
Located in the center of South Bay, East Bay and Tri Valley area. Wide selection of TV channels. Avoid this hotel especially on weekend if you don't want to wake up at mid night like 3 a.m. by some party people noise next door. Couldn't use laundry room. Dirty towel on the rack. Family operating motel need more kind attitude to their guests.
Price, location all excellent. Quality of room compared to advertisement photo accurately. Some street noise, perhaps remodel which was good could have installed sound reducing windows. I was ok however I live with people who would have been annoyed. Outside of room, facility was a bit plain; however, much cheaper than other hotels in area. In my opinion you're getting a champagne light room in a beer facility on a beer budget.
The staff was very friendly and Made genuine efforts to recommend restaurants in the surrounding area.
Good location, reasonably well maintained, recentlich remodeled rooms. Horrible beds, very noisy A/C, very noisy fridge. Clientel is mostly construction workers travelling on behalf of their employers. Low education, low manners folks. I understand that the have to rise at 5:00 a.m., yet that does not mean that they have to holler and slam doors. Unfortunately the opposite also comes into play. Late-shift guys drinking in the parking lot and on the corridors late into the night with TV blaring.
One of the best Motel 6 motels I've experienced. Above average staff, very clean, excellent location for public transportation and very good local cafes and restaurants. I'll be back.
Location of hotel was near downtown San Jose.
We found the room to be very nice and uber clean. Given that there were some negative comments about cleanliness we found that to not be the case, We would stay there again with no concerns.
Walking distance to SAP Center Room was very small, no closet, no Kleenex , TV was bad and morning coffee had only powdered creamer. Color of the room was awful, bright orange.
The room was very clean, the whole property was well kept. The staff was very helpful and friendly. they went out of their way to make sure I was happy. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends. The price was steep, but it seems they all are in this area.
Friendly staff, clean room. Literally the most uncomfortable bed and pillows ever. I didn't expect memory foam obviously but it was like sleeping on a thin layer of springs. My back hurt all day after.
Modern rooms The man at the front desk when I checked in was rude .
Leisurely 1.2mi walk to SJCC, partly along trail.

Lady Gaga's Meat Dress Gets Turned Into Jerky
Lady Gaga's VMA meat dress is getting the beef jerky treatment.
Franc Fernandez, the designer of Gaga's $100 beef dress says that the infamous red carpet look will be getting preserved for posterity:
The dress will go through a process where it becomes a sort of 'jerky' and will be archived. The meat dries out, rather than rotting. It becomes jerky.
Unfortunately, the dress won't be able to hit the red carpet again after it is jerkified: "It shouldn't be worn again," says Franc.
Watch Gaga talking about her meaty fashion on Ellen below.
While Gaga's meat dress was the most headline-grabbing look from the VMAs, it wasn't the only outrageous outfit she wore to the award show. Check out all of Lady Gaga's insane outfits from the 2010 VMAs.
Do you think Gaga's meat dress deserves to get dehydrated? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

|I grew up in Santaquin and did most of these routes many times. #1 is a fun overhanging 11b. #2 wasn't there back in the day but wouldn't be much harder since that upper section is slab. #3 is probably a 10b or c and is a really good route. #4 is a newer route I onsighted shortly after someone added it. It seemed to be in the 11b/c range. #5 is a pretty good 11d that is slightly overhung and powerful in the middle and turns into a kind of scary slab up top. I've done #6 only once and don't remember it being that great.

The Mother would have to file a Petition to Modify the custody order. A 16 year old child does not have absolute authority to choose which parent to live with, but unless there is a problem with the child, his wishes will be very persuasive.
To make this happen, the Mother needs to fill out and follow the instructions on this form: http://courts.phila.gov/pdf/forms/domestic-relations/prose-pet-to-modify-custdy.pdf
Everything the mother needs is in that link. She is the Petitioner, Father is the Respondent. For number 4, she should just state that the child wishes to reside with her and that she is able to care for him.

Style Stealer: Hilary Duff's Flowy Black Summer Dress
Black isn't an obvious choice for a jersey summer dress, but if you've ever tried on a jersey dress, you know that black is by far the most forgiving color (I may never recover from the time I tried on a cream colored jersey dress while wearing a slightly-too-tight pair of underwear–the horror!). I love new mom Hilary Duff's simple black dress, paired here with bold accessories, and totally want to recreate it. Get all the shopping details, after the jump!

Antananarivo (AFP) Jan 31, 2013
Five people were killed as pounding rain and high winds from tropical cyclone Felleng battered Madagascar on Thursday, officials said.
"Four people died after a house collapsed in Antananarivo and one person drowned in Maroantsetra," in the north, Raymond Randriatahina, an official with the national disaster management agency, told AFP.
The category three tropical cyclone barrelled along the island's east coast, around 200 kilometres (125 miles) from land, bringing gusts that reached 250 kilometres (155 miles) an hour.
Around the capital Antananarivo homes and rice fields were flooded and 650 people were forced to move to tents provided by rescue teams.
UN agencies reported "no major damage in the north-east" of the country, which was hit first by the storm system, which is travelling south.
"But dozen of households living in low lying areas were evacuated last night in Nosy Varika and temporarily sheltered in a school."
With the storm churning the Indian Ocean, the authorities had earlier closed coastal schools and those in the capital.
Madagascar is one the world's islands most vulnerable to cyclones. In the past decade 45 tropical storms have hit.
Cyclone Giovanna and tropical storm Irina last year killed 112 people and affected 90,000.

"The pay was great and everything else about the job was a nightmare. I remember when a 90-year-old woman called to add phone to her account and my boss told me afterwards, 'She was probably senile… but you should have upgraded her cable. I don't think you are going to be sitting in this seat for very long.'" -- From an interview with a Comcast employee who worked in the sales department from 2011-2014.
The fallout from Ryan Block's recording of an argumentative, bullying Comcast employee keeps getting worse (or better, depending on how you look at it). The Verge asked former and current Comcast employees to share their stories of what it is like to work at the company. It sounds like a horrible place: "customer service has been replaced by an obsession with sales, technicians are understaffed and tech support is poorly trained, and the massive company is hobbled by internal fragmentation."
Even the customer support troubleshooters are pressured by their bosses to try to sell customers new services. One customer account exec says that the call center he worked in had a "whiteboard with employee names and their RGUs, or revenue generating units."
A former billing systems manager says employees are fed scripts to boost their RGU score.

Can we have fruit on our low-carb diet?
So many people are afraid of fruit on their low-carb diet. The truth of the matter is that in the ongoing weight loss phase and especially in maintenance, fruit needs to be a part of one's diet. Think of all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that keep us younger and healthier.
Here is a quote from Mary Shomon's site that made me realize just how many people on low-carb diets are probably shunning fruit even these days: "June 2004 -- In a national telephone survey , many low-carb dieters told ACNielsen pollsters they are shunning fruit in their attempt to lose weight, even though nutritionists say fruit plays an important role in a healthy diet. Fruit consumption is encouraged during the maintenance phase of popular low-carb diets, but that message may not be getting through. The pollsters spoke with a nationally representative sample of 1,000 adults, 12 percent of which said they were following a low-carb diet. Among those on low-carb diets, 30 percent said they had reduced their fruit consumption and 14 percent had stopped eating it altogether. That means that 44 percent of low-carb dieters -- roughly 11 million Americans -- may have dropped from their diets some essential nutrients commonly found in fruit."
By the way, most low-carbers will not eat bananas, but I eat them. What I do is slice them and freeze them and then eat a few slices a day. They go further that way and I don't feel deprived. I will also use bananas sparingly in baking. When I'm not in weight loss mode (most of the time), I will eat a banana a day and not gain weight, so it really depends on the person.

I have to admit I'm one of those people that rarely has fruit. Well sweet fruits anyway, tomatoes and avocados are a mainstay. I have a few berries here and there and I little apple or pear. And of course I will be having my pomegranite as soon as they hit the stores...giggle. But fruit isn't a part of my daily life. Maybe I should concider adding a little more in.
Great article, as always you have me thinking.

Vikki, the idea entered my head and then I discovered Jimmy had already covered the subject really well, so rather than reinvent the wheel, I pointed folks to his article.
If you are in OWL, then you can add different fruits daily, but if you're very strictly low-carbing (say, 20 to 30 grams a day), then berries make more sense, as they have the lowest number of carbs. I love frozen strawberries or we get these bags of mixed frozen fruit at Costco (strawberries, peaches, melons and a few grapes), and when I'm not strictly low-carbing as aforementioned, that makes a lovely low-cal dessert with Splenda sprinkled over the slightly "nuked" fruit and maybe topped with plain yogurt (also sweetened with Splenda Granular).
