Motion sickness (or seasickness) is a general sense of not feeling
well (malaise), nausea, vomiting, headache, and sweating that occur with
movement. It develops when the inner ear, the eyes, and other areas of the body
that detect motion send conflicting messages to the brain.
Motion sickness occurs when one part of the balance-sensing system
(inner ear, joints and muscles, or vision) may indicate that the body is
moving, while the other parts do not sense motion. For example, when a person
is in the cabin of a moving ship, the inner ear may sense the motion of big
waves, but the eyes don't see any movement. This leads to a conflict between
the senses and results in motion sickness.
Motion sickness is usually just a minor sense of queasiness and
does not feel like a serious medical illness. But some travelers are quite
sick with it. And a few even suffer symptoms for a few days after their trip.
After motion sickness has started, treatment consists of stopping the motion.
If the motion cannot be stopped, sitting or lying down in an area that appears
to move the least may help. In an airplane, sitting over the wings may feel
more stable; on a boat or ship, staying on the deck, looking at the horizon, or
sitting or lying down in a cabin near the center of the ship may help.
Prescription and nonprescription medicines may prevent and treat
symptoms. Some people find that taking ginger or wearing acupressure wristbands
can help reduce symptoms of motion sickness.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is opposed to gambling, including lotteries sponsored by governments. Church leaders have encouraged Church members to join with others in opposing the legalization and government sponsorship of any form of gambling.
Additional Information
Gambling is motivated by a desire to get something for nothing. This desire is spiritually destructive. It leads participants away from the Savior's teachings of love and service and toward the selfishness of the adversary. It undermines the virtues of work and thrift and the desire to give honest effort in all we do.
Those who participate in gambling soon discover the deception in the idea that they can give little or nothing and receive something of value in return. They find that they give up large amounts of money, their own honor, and the respect of family members and friends. Deceived and addicted, they often gamble with funds they should use for other purposes, such as meeting the basic needs of their families. Gamblers sometimes become so enslaved and so desperate to pay gambling debts that they turn to stealing, giving up their own good name.

Prophetic Teachings
If you have never been involved in poker games or other forms of gambling, don't start. If you are involved, then quit now while you can do so.
Those who gamble risk more than just money. Their lives and families are at stake too.

On a Gloomy Day
Sharing a trio of images shot prior to a pending storm. I had a brief moment to get out today while running errands, and found three different subjects to compose. I chose the K20D for the tool to use, and set it up a black and white infrared filter/blue toning filter combination in camera. These images are direct from the camera. All were made with the 50-200mm f/4-f/5.6 WR telephoto lens with the same settings and display very different moods. Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction (Body Only)
Lone White Mallard, ISO 640, f/6.3. This mallard lies in stark contrast to the lake and dark sky creating a mood around it that is dark and bleak. I accentuated this mood by using just the right exposure to allow the mallard and reflection to stand out as the center of attraction. A simple suggestive mood piece here.
Funnel Spider Web with Raindrops, ISO 640, f/6.3. This is more of a macro piece but I wanted to incorporate more of the surroundings into the composition. The attraction is the detail which makes up an almost abstract pattern base.

Spring Season Highlighted by Showdown with Rowdies
SAINT LEO, Fla. – Head Coach Joel Harrison has recently announced his team's 2011 spring schedule. The Lions have six non-championship dates lined up, culminating with a showdown against Division I opponent, the University of South Florida.
All though it seems the 2010 fall season just finished, preparations are already underway into making sure that the 2011 championship season is a successful one.
The Lions concluded 2010 with an impressive 9-6 record. Unfortunately, a 3-5 Sunshine State Conference mark, a SSC Tournament loss to Florida Tech, as well as a 6-6 in-region record, kept the Lions short of their NCAA Tournament hopes.
Still, Coach Harrison continues to boast a positive attitude and believes taking on talented competition during the spring will correlate to a prepared and focused team in 2011.
The Lions will open the spring when they take on the Clearwater Chargers US Soccer Development Academy on Feb. 26.
Up next, the IMG US Soccer Academy Development Academy will try and test Saint Leo, Mar. 5. One week later, the Lions will travel to Lakeland, Fla. to challenge Florida Southern. The friendly is in support of the Brandon Soccer Club and is scheduled to take place March 11.
The end of March brings a significant test for the Green & Gold as they will take on the Tampa Bay FC Rowdies, Mar. 30. That event is being hosted by the Azalea Soccer Club.
The U17 Men's National Team will then visit Saint Leo, Apr. 2, before the squad welcomes back past Saint Leo men's soccer players to participate in the annual alumni game on the same day.
Finally, the Lions will battle the University of South Florida during the team's final spring date. The final date still has not been solidified, as it scheduled to take place on April 8 or 9.
Be sure to follow SaintLeoLions.com for highlights on all of the team's spring slate.

Did you know?
A tiny savannah bird
Just outside Polokwane, the capital of Limpopo province, the Bakone Malapa Museum is a showcase for the BaSotho culture. Two traditional homesteads house exhibits that explain much of the BaSotho's history.
The name Bakone is a Northern Sotho clan name taken from Bakone ba Matlala a' Thaba who lived here in the 17th century, while Malapa is the Sotho word for homestead. Archaeological digs show that the Ndebele and the Shangaan also lived in the area, and evidence has been found of a Stone Age influence dating back 20 000 years.
The on-site cultural village offers visitors further insight into the Bakone people, a sub-group of the BaSotho. The village has been reconstructed in a style that was typical about 250 years ago. Run by several BaSotho who live in the village, the centre offers a warm and authentic welcome from people happy to share their current, as well as historic, way of life with you.
The organised tour of the Bakone Malapa Museum begins with a visit to an area recreating the modern ways of a BaSotho family. Here, within the lapa, you will see the separate thatched brick and mortar bedroom, kitchen and living room. Floors are still made from a mix of mud and cow dung, as they have been for hundreds of years. You will then be given a view of life as it was 250 years ago.
You can expect to learn how fire is made, how beer is brewed and how maize is ground. Handcraft demonstrations such as woodcarving, pottery, basketry and beadwork are popular and a craft shop sells locally produced crafts at a reasonable price.
Tours are conducted at set times throughout the day. Most guides are skilled in the African tradition of story telling and will answer all your questions about the cultural aspects of the life of the BaSotho.

In my initial posting on state machines I necessarily skipped over a lot of detail that I'd like to start filling in. Let's start by going back to this comment:
// switch to stateNorthSouthGreen
In this state machine implementation, the current state is represented by a function, and that function is stored in the m_state member variable. Switching states is therefore almost as simple as just updating this variable. Let's wrap it in a function with a helpful name:
function transition( newState:Function ):void { // it's not quite this simple... m_state = newState; }
Recall that the dispatch() function simply forwards all events to the current state function. The new state function will receive all subsequently dispatched events. Continuing with our traffic light example, that means that CarEvents, for example, will continue to be dispatched, but now to our new state function.
It's often useful to be able to do some additional work when entering or exiting a state. For example, a traffic light might might want to start a timer when entering a state which turns on the walk signal. This behavior can be added directly to the state functions by dispatching a couple of new events. Let's define them first:
class StateMachineEvent extends Event { public static const ENTER:String = "enter"; public static const EXIT:String = "exit"; ... }
Then we refine our implementation of transition():
function transition( newState:Function ):void { m_state( new StateEvent( StateMachineEvent.EXIT )); m_state = newState; m_state( new StateEvent( StateMachineEvent.ENTER )); }
(In other state machine models, individual states are sometimes modeled as classes. If you think of states that way, the enter and exit events are like the constructor and destructor, respectively.)
Finally, we add some code to our state function to handle these new events. I like to use the following skeleton for state functions:
function stateFunction( event:Event ):void { switch( event.type ) { case StateMachineEvent.ENTER: // start Timers, etc. break; case ...: // handle various other events break; case StateMachineEvent.EXIT: // stop Timers, clean up , etc. break; default: // Unexpected event! Maybe throw? break; } } }

Tigers unable to keep Blue Jays grounded
After club builds five-run lead, Porcello, Villarreal help give it all back
DETROIT -- No, Wednesday was not a good day for relievers at Comerica Park.
Darin Downs, who nearly lost his life to a fractured skull off a line drive four years ago, barely dodged a liner up the middle. Octavio Dotel took a comebacker in the groin, made the out, then hunched over in pain. Darren Oliver took a liner off his arm.
By the time the Tigers' rain-delayed, walk-lengthened 8-6 loss to the Jays was finished, it was Brayan Villarreal who was hurting. He wasn't hit, literally or figuratively. That's the problem.
It wasn't a comebacker, but a comeback.
"We had a 6-1 lead," manager Jim Leyland said, "and we let it get away."
For Villarreal's part, it wasn't a big hit, but three consecutive seventh-inning walks. The only contact was a pair of foul balls from Edwin Encarnacion to go to a 1-2 count before Villarreal missed low on three consecutive fastballs to load the bases.
The only other swing out of Villarreal's 19 pitches was a miss from the next hitter, Mark DeRosa, to bring up another 1-2 count. Again, Villarreal missed on three consecutive fastballs, again low and out of the strike zone.
"I couldn't control my fastball or my slider," Villarreal explained as reporters huddled around his locker. "I think it's something with my mechanics that I have to work on."
The next pitch the Jays put in play was the 0-1 pitch from Dotel that J.P. Arencibia lined to the fence in left-center field to clear the bases and put Toronto up for good.
Perhaps it was karma after back-to-back bases-loaded walks to Victor Martinez and Andy Dirks, neither of whom swung the bat, pushed the Tigers to a 6-1 lead in the fifth inning. But Villarreal's struggles weren't cosmic.
"It looked to me like he just threw a couple great pitches to start hitters and then just was spiking the ball in the dirt, just totally missing," Leyland said. "And I don't really know how to explain that, whether he got just hyped up and tried to throw a little bit harder, make a little better pitch. I don't know, but obviously his rhythm and stuff was not good or you don't throw that many balls."
When Villarreal has his mechanics down, he has shown himself to be one of the nastier relievers in Detroit's bullpen. His 2012 numbers show it, even with a miserable start and perplexing finish. From May through August last season, he allowed 32 hits over 43 2/3 innings, with 17 walks, 58 strikeouts and opponents batting just .204 off him.
His struggles in September kept him off the postseason roster, but his success in the summer helped keep Detroit's bullpen intact. Team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski this offseason cited one talent evaluator telling him Villarreal has the best stuff of any young reliever in the league he had seen. An American League scout suggested recently that Villarreal should be a closing option.
If the Tigers are going to make a bullpen by committee work this year for any stretch, he's going to have to get big outs. Through two outings this year, he has struggled to find them. Villarreal has now allowed eight runs on four hits and five walks this season, retiring just four batters.
Villarreal believes it's a mechanical issue involving his shoulder.
"It's something that I have to look at with my pitching coach on the video and start working on," he said.
The problem is that with a bullpen by committee, the Tigers can't easily hide a reliever while he works through some issues. Even sidelining a pitcher for a couple days to throw a side session and work on mechanics has ramifications for the rest of the group and the matchups Leyland faces to get through the ninth. The way Villarreal has struggled, though, he might have little choice.
"If people are here, they have to pitch," Leyland said. "I mean, you don't just bring guys up here to sit them and say, 'He's on the big league team, but we're not going to pitch him.' I thought you have a guy that throws 95, 96, 97 mph with a good slider, and you've got four right-handed hitters coming up.
"I don't want to sound like I'm defending my decision, because I'm not. I would make the same decision again. He's got to pitch. We've got to see if he can do it. It's that simple."
That's what Leyland is doing with much of his relief corps. The questions have focused on Joaquin Benoit and Phil Coke in the ninth inning. But with those two, especially Benoit, preferred for the ninth, it means others have to cover the seventh and eighth innings. On Tuesday, the eighth inning fell to Drew Smyly and Al Alburquerque. On Saturday, Alburquerque and Downs carried Detroit's lead for three innings to Benoit.
Complicating matters Wednesday was the sudden demise of starter Rick Porcello, who carried the 6-1 lead into the sixth inning before giving up three straight hits and a run.
"That's the biggest thing. I have to be able to record an out there, at least, and make it easier on our bullpen coming in," Porcello said.
All of the Tigers' relievers have had at least one outing so far when they've given up damage. And all but Villarreal have had an outing when they've looked dominant. Downs' first hiccup came Wednesday, when pinch-hitter Mark DeRosa greeted him with a double to drive in the two runners Downs inherited from Porcello.
"We've got to find out what guys can do," Leyland said. "That's as simple as it is. We'll see how it plays out."

Historic Overlay Districts and Architectural Review Board (ARB) - FAQ's
|What are Historic Overlay Districts?
In 1969, the Virginia Legislature enabled Fairfax County to amend its Zoning Ordinance to better protect areas, sites, and buildings that meet recognized standards of architectural and historic significance. Subsequent Zoning Ordinance amendments established Historic Overlay Districts that provide regulations over and above the regular zoning protection for such areas. To administer the provisions, the County created a local Architectural Review Board (ARB). The ARB is responsible for the public interest(s) as embodied in the Historic Overlay District Ordinance. Its job is to protect and enhance the resources that give a district its historic, architectural, or archaeological significance. Quoting directly from Section 7-201 of the Fairfax County Zoning Ordinance:
Historic Overlay Districts are created for the purpose of promoting the general welfare, education, economic prosperity, and recreational pleasure of the public, through the identification, preservation, and enhancement of those buildings, structures, neighborhoods, landscapes, places, and areas that have special historical, cultural, architectural, or archaeological significance... and which have been officially designated by the Board of Supervisors.
Fairfax County has 13 Historic Overlay Districts that were created between 1970 and 1986. They include mills, churches, historic homes, Civil War fortifications, archaeological sites and a unique planned community.
|How are Historic Overlay Districts established?
Historic Overlay Districts are established when the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors adopts an amendment to the County's Zoning Ordinance. Any citizen, neighborhood organization, or County agency may propose establishing a district, which may consist of a single property or group of related properties. First, recommendations in the form of a research and planning report are prepared by professional staff of the Department of Planning and Zoning. The report is reviewed by the Fairfax County History Commission and Architectural Review Board, then forwarded to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for public hearings and final action.
Historic Overlay Districts usually include more than just the historic "core" and that is why the ARB reviews plans for new development as well as changes to existing properties within the district. This is because historic buildings or sites lose their cultural and aesthetic significance to the citizens of the County -- and economic value to owners -- if inappropriate changes are made to either the building or its environs. Even if the property is owned by a public agency, a private preservation organization, or a sympathetic and knowledgeable private individual, it may be vulnerable if, for example, nearby development blocks a view or poorly designed buildings are constructed next door.
|Who serves on the Architectural Review Board?
The ARB, is composed of ten County residents who have a demonstrated knowledge of and interest in the preservation of historic buildings, structures, and sites. Members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors and serve for terms of three years. By ordinance, two members must be registered architects, one a landscape architect, and one a lawyer. Other members must represent related professions such as archaeology, history, and real estate, while one non-voting member is a representative of the Fairfax County History Commission.
In addition to bringing their own professional expertise to the ARB, members are required to attend annual statewide and regional training sessions on historic architecture, design review procedures, and historic preservation issues. Staff of the County's Department of Planning and Zoning are responsible for supporting and administering the work of the ARB.
|What is the ARB Review Process?
As required by the Zoning Ordinance, all applications for rezoning, special exceptions, special permits, variances, sign permits, or other construction permits, as well as all site plans, subdivision plats, and grading plans for properties within Historic Overlay Districts, must be submitted to the ARB for review. The ARB's recommendations are then forwarded to the appropriate County agencies for their review and implementation.
While the ARB plays an advisory role in the broader development review processes listed above, specific ARB approval is required before a sign permit may be issued by the Zoning Administrator or a building permit issued by the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES).
Only certain exterior alterations, generally ones that require a building permit, are the alterations that need approval from the Architectural Review Board. Interior alterations do not require approval. To paraphrase the county Zoning Ordinance:
ARB approval shall be required prior to the issuance of Building Permits for the following:
A. erection, construction, reconstruction, or exterior
rehabilitation, remodeling, alteration or restoration of any
building or structure in a Historic Overlay District;
ARB approval shall not be required prior to issuance of Building Permits for the following:
A. interior alteration of any building or structure in a Historic
Overlay District;
The ARB usually meets on the second Thursday of each month to review formal applications and, if time permits, to hold informal "workshop" discussions with owners or their architects on any other proposals presented. Drawings, plans, photographs, and other documents required to help with this review can be simple or detailed depending on the scale and complexity of a proposal. Specific questions on what may be required can be answered by DPZ staff. For a proposal to be placed on the agenda, a property owner should contact staff at least two weeks in advance of the next ARB meeting.
|How long does this process take?
The time frame for ARB approval depends upon factors such as the complexity of the project, clarity of the project information presented to the ARB and the potential impact of the project on the historic properties in the HOD. Some projects can be reviewed and approved at one meeting with the ARB; other projects could take two or three meetings.
|Is there an application fee?
No, there is no ARB application fee.
|My subdivision already has an architectural design committee. Do I still need approval from the county's Architectural Review Board?
Yes, but only for exterior alterations that require a building permit.
|What are the responsibilities of a property owner in a Historic Overlay District?
To successfully undertake a rehabilitation project or to construct something new in an appropriate manner requires three actions. First, an owner should understand why a building or site was built or used, why it looks the way it does, and what features contribute to its special appearance and to the district's visual quality. Second, the owner should determine what needs to be done and how to do it in a way that protects and adds to the historic or visual quality of the property and district. And, third, the owner should realize that these first two steps require a lot of homework and, in most cases, reliance on experienced design professionals, particularly architects, landscape architects, and civil engineers who are sensitive to the impact of the proposed work on the character of the Historic Overlay District.
|My property was built after the Historic Overlay Districts were created, why do I have to present exterior alterations of my property to the Architectural Review Board?
The intent of the 1969 Zoning Ordinance was to protect the historic resources within the Historic Overlay Districts. The overlay zoning helps to protect against inappropriate uses, changes and additions that could damage the historic resources and your property values. In reviewing projects, the ARB takes into consideration factors such as whether the alterations are proposed to be made to a non-historic property, the distance the project is from the historic resource, the visibility from the historic resource, and the impact the project may have on the character and integrity of the HOD.
|When should the design and review process begin?
While formal review and approval is required by ordinance, the sooner that a property owner brings a proposal to the ARB's attention the better. This is true even if the initial review is on an informal basis. As a first step, the owner of any property located within a Historic Overlay District should request such an informal review of proposed work by the ARB. Usually, this is done in a "workshop session" at a regular ARB meeting. The purpose of this is to help property owners to better understand the ARB's guidelines and how the ARB will review the project. It is best to do this early in the planning process. This opportunity for a preliminary review serves two purposes. First, inappropriate changes that would detract from the historic or visual character of the property or the district can be avoided and alternative suggestions made. Second, property owners can avoid the disappointment, as well as additional cost and lost time, associated with changing detailed plans "in mid-stream."
|I'm concerned that the ARB will deny my proposal. How often does the ARB often deny a proposal?
The ARB routinely works with property owners to find design solutions that protect the historic resources and character of the HOD as mandated by the Zoning Ordinance and encourage property uses which will lead to the continuance, conservation and improvement of the HOD. Sometimes that could mean revising architectrual style or details to reduce the mass and scale, using a certain type or amount of landscaping or adjusting the site layout of the project. The ARB has gone years without denying a project. During project review, the ARB may suggest certain elements be re-examined. This may mean changes to the project since it was first proposed.
|What guidelines does the ARB follow?
The ARB review process does not rely on individual member's "taste." Rather, the underlying principle is to protect and enhance those properties and neighborhoods that have been designated as Historic Overlay Districts by the Board of Supervisors. To do this in an objective way, the ARB has adopted guidelines that they follow to determine the appropriateness of new construction or other changes that they are asked to consider. These are based on the following principles as summarized from the County's Zoning Ordinance:

"Lily's Theme" is a subtle choral piece, related to Lily, Harry, and Snape. It is the main theme of the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 soundtrack.
The full theme can be heard in the song of the same name. Besides that, it can be heard on the tracks Dragon Flight, Voldemort's End, Snape's Demise and The Resurrection Stone.
"Lily's Theme" begins with a dark sounding note, then a chilling and haunting choir begins, then there's a sudden crescendo and decrescendo of cello, viola and violin. The choir then continues and the theme ends. The theme is then repeated without a choir, just instruments. It slowly builds up in volume, reaches its pinnacle, then it goes down in volume, with the theme ending. It then goes down to pianissimo and stops.

The federal government is salivating over the Internet's regulation-free
environment and an estimated $30 billion a year in e-commerce.
Just as the "health care crisis" was used to justify Clinton Care's scheme to nationalize the health care system, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) hopes to incite public fears over "privacy" to justify a wave of regulation by them of the Internet.
This is a page right out of Bill Clinton's playbook: Conduct a poll, declare a "crisis," create a bureaucracy. In this instance the FTC is awaiting a Georgetown University poll, which the FTC will use to heighten public fears of doing business on the Web, and justify the creation of the first-ever Federal bureaucracy to regulate the Internet.
However, the leading Internet businesses, including IBM, are way ahead of the bureaucracts and even refuse to advertise on Web sites that doing not protect online privacy. Internet providers and merchants know it is in their best interest to safeguard the privacy of their customers. They do not need Big Brother meddling.
Conservatives must stop this big-government attempt to regulate the Internet.

Dive into the latest denim trends. Lisa Haynes gets the springtime blues.....and prints and pastels and brights.
Jeans. Everyone has them in their wardrobe but finding 'the' perfect pair is the Holy Grail of shopping.
The task is even trickier with the deluge of brand new denims on the block. The full spectrum of traditional blue isn't going away anytime soon but a rainbow of new hues has widened the search.
"Have fun with your denim. The traditional five pocket jeans now come in a myriad of colours, patterns and fabrics. Just wear them with a simple white tee," advises queen of denim Donna Ida Thornton (www.donnaida.com).
More than three quarters (76%) of women "love wearing denim" and the average woman owns 7.2 pairs of jeans, according to a recent survey by Yahoo Shine!
If you have space for one more pair in your denim drawer, spring is the time to be a little more experimental. So jump-start the new season in super-fresh jeans.
Shipwrecked chic Don't panic if you've worn your favourite jeans to death - you're already one step ahead of the trend for lived-in, distressed denim.
The worn-out look is just the thing for a nonchalant take on denim that doesn't look too try-hard.
"Cropped boyfriend styles have worn vintage abrasions, oversized rips and turn-ups for a relaxed and casual feel," Thornton says. "If you look like you've worn them forever, you've nailed the trend."
Go one step further with embroidered patches for a bespoke vintage, homespun feel.
Linear elegance Skinny jeans have received a welcome update with the added feature of flattering lines. Hallelujah!
The contrast side panelled look is all about drawing the eye down the leg to create the illusion of supermodel pins.
"Add edge to your outfit with strong and confident lines that frame skinny jeans," suggests Thornton.
"Pay tribute to Mondrian and work a monochrome look, or add bright shots for bold colour blocking."
Two-tone blue jeans that feature a lighter front and a darker back also benefit from the same eye-tricking effects.
Sugary sweet Inspired by the gastronomic feasts on The Great British Bake Off, pastels have taken pretty and pale to a whole new level.
"Candy-coloured cupcake shades of lemon, strawberry and peach are decorated with delicious sprinkles and marble patterns," explains Thornton.
Keep the look super-calorific by layering your pastel denim with similar pastel shades, or go the opposite direction and pare down the prettiness with a contrasting rebellious black top.
Avoid flared, bootcut or baggy jeans and keep things prim 'n' proper with skinny or straight-legged jeans.
Abstract expressionism Prints are no longer confined to dresses, tops and skirts. Colour-soaked creations have found their way onto denim too.
"Enter the studio, make like Jackson Pollock and get creative," Thornton enthuses. "Experiment with jeans featuring bright paint splatters, ink blots and vibrant multi-colour stripes."
If you're more of a trouser fan, intricate geometrics, spot prints and laser-etched denim designs will be right up your street.
Ensure your keep your top half plain to let your loud jeans do all the shouting.
True blue So you're a traditionalist when it comes to denim? That's nothing to be ashamed about - just lighten the tone for the spring/summer months and go easy on the grungy black and dark grey denim.
Thornton says: "There's a return to traditional blue denim, from distressed light washes to the perfect mid-way blue all the way to delicious deep sea shades.
"Waves of watercolour range from turquoise to ocean-surf blue, deepened by hints of marine navy and accentuated by fresh pastel hues."
The fit is down to you: high-waisted, skinny, straight or bootcut. As blue is the most versatile of denim hues, anything goes.
Fit tips "All jeans are essentially the same - two legs, five pockets, but the magic is in the individual fit," Thornton says.
She shares her top 10 steps to guaranteed figure flattery: :: If jeans go on easily, go down a size. Kicking your way into the legs isn't unusual.
:: When buying jeans with super stretch, look for good quality denim that has great memory. The 'memory' is how quickly the denim springs back after wear.
:: When buying super stretchy jeans, buy them firm but not overly tight. If you have 'seam strain' down the legs, they are possibly too tight and this could damage the stretch.
:: The waistband should be snug - if you can fit two fingers down the back that's good, a whole hand is not.
:: A curved, or pieced waistband, is ideal. This will be slightly higher at the back than the front and will curve into your waist rather than sit straight up.
:: Apple-shaped girls should look for plenty of stretch in a straight leg and dark wash as they are the most flattering.
:: Pear-shaped or curvy ladies who like skinny jeans should look at high-waisted styles - it elongates the leg and slims down the hips.
:: Boyish shapes can wear most styles. Add some shape and interest with zips and details on back pockets.
:: Long legs look best in a mid to low rise to keep the waist at the right height, whereas petite girls look great in a high rise that accentuates the waist and elongates the legs.
:: Alterations can give you the perfect jeans. Think about adjusting the waistband or slimming the legs - small adjustments are not unusual.

Game 21 — or the "sort of" one-quarter pole.
Ya boys on a two-game winning streak and a run of six consecutive wins on Garden ice.
Cover your eyes, or ignore the next few lines:
Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins are here! Whoopeeeee! Everybody celebrate. Bring frankincense and myrrh to the Garden tonight. Hockey is saved.
The Skidder is 2-7-9 in four games since his return. He wears the same number that Donald Brashear wore as a Ranger.
Sorry, I just wanted to get you used to all of this, because there will only one way to escape this tonight. Turn off the TV and the radio. In fact, by the time this is posted, I'm sure you will have seen and heard about Skid on TV at least once already. By the way, a lot of the papers in town will have extra reporters here covering, well, you know who. So be warned about going to the newsstand tomorrow, too.
On the positive side, I got to chat with Penguins assistant coach Tony Granato, one of my all-time favorite Rangers and a guy who would have fit in perfectly with this current team. Or any team.
Same lineup for Rangers, meaning Anton Stralman and Erik Christensen are prucha'd. Bel Biv Deveaux serves the final game of his suspension. Henrik Lundqvist in goal.
Oh, by the way, I'll be guesting with Kenny Albert or Dave Maloney on the radio between the first and second periods. So give us a listen. Maybe a RR or Boneheads shout-out coming.

This is our second visit to Bubba and Bean. It's just as nice as it was before. Clement and Jonathan are only a phone call away and very helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and clean. The Lodges are close to many restaurants and the subway station. We did not require a car in the city. Close to Central Park, The Met and easy from here to visit the 911 Memorial and the Freedom Tower and Broadway. You will not be disappointed with staying at Bubba and Bean Lodges. The Pollocks

Dear Jonathan and Clement, We absolutely loved your apartment. It is perfect for 5 or 6 people. Very clean, close to subway and spacious (at least for NY). We will definitely recommend it to friends is they ever go to New York. Thank you for everything. We felt at home in your apartment.

We stayed at Bubba & Bean in May 2013 travelling as a family. We found the place to be exactly as described and enjoyed our 8 day stay alot.The area was quiet at night and was nice to feel like we were living in New York. The 96th and 103rd street subway stations were within easy walking from the apartment and we felt totally safe in this area.Would we stay here again......most definitely

Un lugar impecable para residir en Manhattan. A solo 6 para das de metro del centro Bubba & Bean Lodges fue un lugar ideal por calidad de atencion, limpieza, servicios y precio razonable. Un capitulo aparte son los perritos Boston Terriers que dan nombre al lugar. Pidan que se los muestren ! No sirven desayuno ni comida

I went to Mt. Sinai for surgery and stayed here the night before and my wife stayed for the week. We were looking for a reasonably priced place close to the hospital. This blew away any other place for price. When we went there we were pleasantly surprised at what a great place it was. Perfect for a get away, Central park just blocks away, the subway right there for access to everything NY. Jonathan and Clement were fantastic hosts, responsive and keep a great place. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Especially if you are at Mt. Sinai as it is a nice safe walk from here to the hospital.

We have been to NYC many times over the years but have never found a value as good as this one. Our room was in the back and extremely quiet. Room was clean and well furnished. Treat basket was yummy and appreciated and local restaurant recommendations were spot on. Location is away from the touristy chaos but yet convenient to subway and in a nice area. Bubba and Bean is a great value and we highly recommend it!

We stayed here for two weeks in January 2013. It was a lovely, well-equiped room. It was serviced regularly, had free wifi and great heating. The location is good, close to the subway and within walking distance of the Guggenheim, the Met and Central Park. We had a room at the back so we didn't have any of the Lexington Avenue traffic noise. We'd definitely stay here again.

Had a wonderful stay with Jonathan & Clement and Bubba & Bean over Christmas 2012 and into the early parts of 2013. Our room was very clean, quiet and welcoming and exceeded our expectations - we loved that closeness to the bus stop and subway and always felt safe in the neighbourhood. We loved the welcome basket and the coffee machine got a real workout - we used our kitchenette everyday, cooking our breakfast and dinners. We would stay here again and thank the boys for creating such a lovely place for people to stay.

We stayed from Jonathan &Clement in february-march 2012. We felt really at home.Our room was very nice,clean and loving. Although the neighborhood is not very active,the proximity of the subway has compensated perfectly. Our trip to NY was wonderful also thanks to this comfortable accommodation.We miss it much! We strongly recommend it. Thank you Jonathan & Clement for your kindness. Valeria & Giorgio

Jonathan and Clement were great hosts - they attended to the little details and provided us with a quiet and comfortable place to stay while we visited New York. Our suite was charming and nicely decorated. We enjoyed cooking dinner in the well equipped kitchen and also ate two fabulous dinners at nearby restaurants - Pitza Moustache and Yo In Yo Out.

We had a fantastic stay at Bubba & Bean Lodges while in NYC and would certainly stay again, as well as highly recommend! Staying here is a fab way of feeling like a 'real New Yorker', from getting a great coffee and bagel from the cafe next door, to getting the number 6 subway downtown. The Apartments are clean and have everything you could need - with extra touches such as sweets and goodies in a basket on your arrival & menus for local places to eat. I am from a very rural part of England and even I felt so safe around the location of the apartment and felt completely fine with getting the subway everywhere, no need to spend on cabs at all!! Thanks Jonathan & Clement for a great stay! :-)

Wir waren zu viert in einem Zimmer. Und es war sehr angenehm. Das Zimmer war gross. Das WC/Bad relativ sehr klein. Bis zur U-Bahn waren es knapp 5 min. Gleich dort gibt es ein tolles Restaurant, das Moustache, orientalische Spezialitäten. Die gegend fanden wir als sicher. Uns wurde auch am Abflugstag ein grosses Taxi organisiert, vor dem Hauseingang. Auch die gegend ist relativ sehr ruhig. Wir haben diese Woche sehr genossen. Die Zimmer wurden jeden Tag gereinigt und gebettet, ausser Sontags. Es war sehr sauber und gemütlich.

We stayed with Bubba and Bean for two weeks in February with our 9 month old son. Our room was beautiful, very spacious and very clean. Very close to the subway station, and a short subway ride into Times Square and all the touristy places. I would recommend for anyone except perhaps older travellers, as there are a few stairs to navigate. Brilliant value for money!!!

We stayed the last week of June in this guesthouse. It was just great! We also had a larger room then we asked and it was just faboulous. Very helpful owners, very clean rooms, outstanding beds,.. It really felt like homecoming after a busy day in New York! The house is just a few metres from the metro... Thank you very much for everything Jonathan and Clement! I will definetly come back and recommand your guesthouse to everyone! Evelyn from Belgium

We had a great stay in the 4 pers room (we were just two). Spacious, cosy, clean, good beds, bathroom and utitilities. Nice, homey feeling, away from the hustle and bustle of lower Manhattan. Great location, would definitely recommend it.

Stayed at Bubba & Bean for 3 weeks at the beginning of Spring and loved every minute. Jonathan & Clement are great hosts, so charming and full of local insight. I had a good size studio that was always kept immaculately clean by Marlena. The location is great, really handy to the Subway stations, and the pizza downstairs is the best. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back again.

Thank you so much Clement and Johnatan. We spent a wonderful week at Bubba & Bean Lodge. Everything was perfect; the rooms are very clean, quiet and comfortable. The situation is ideal to join Midtown Manahattan. We keep your address preciously for ou next holidays in NYC. I will not hesitate to give it to my friends in Paris. Carole from Paris (France)

Bubba & Bean is the perfect place for your holiday. We stayed here for 1 week and it felt like home. Very close to Central Park and the Subway. Very clean rooms and all the facilities you need for your stay in NY. We hope to go back one day as we enjoyed NY so much. A great city !
4.4 on May 12, 2010
This place is a real find for visitors who want a more personal and independent stay in Manhattan, along with a more local and authentic experience of the city. Jonathan & Clement have put great thought, care and attention into the spotless apartments and the facilities which are exactly as the photos depict. It was easy to walk a few blocks across to Central Park, Park Av, Madison Av, Fifth Av, all the main museums and then access transport links by subway or bus to go exploring downtown, uptown, wherever you so choose. The neighbourhood was quiet, friendly and with some great local dining for reasonable cost compared to downtown - plus plenty of shops, deli's and take outs if you wanted to make use of your apartment facilities and escape the high voltage buzz of the city for a while! We think these guys deserve the previous and consistent accolades they receive from their guests. David & Jane Macdonald, U.K.

Just discovered that I could correspond with you. Your place made my stay in New York, even better. Everything was perfect to my taste and it can't be otherwise for anybody. Your accomodations make one's feel like at home, even better because of your displayed kind attentions. See you next July. (Excuse the poor English of Jade's mother) Greatfully, Anick (from France)

Thoroughly enjoyed an 8 night stay! As a person in the hotel business, it was my first experience in a "lodge". Cleanliness was outstanding with beds and towels changed daily and even our dishes done! Truly peaceful after a 12 hour New York day! Loved visiting on stoop with the neighbours. Jonathan and Clement introduced us to the 6 train which was our ticket to everywhere in Manhatten and just a one block walk. Basket of coffee and treats was exceptional. Would happily stay again and recommend to all. Thank you Jonathan and Clement, your professionalism and friendliness was appreciated. M&M Saskatchewan Canada

We stayed at Bubba&Bean Lodges last summer and we loved it. We were welcomed warmly and Jonathan and Clement made all the efforts to keep us informed and arranged whatever was needed. Great room, always very clean, and it felt like a home away from home... a place to relax after a fun filled and tiring day in the city. Recommend to everyone and we will most certainly be staying at the BBlodge again when we come back to NY. Manuella, Geert and Kaya (Belgium)

Stayed here for 4 nights December 2008, just before Christmas. We had a family holiday, myself, my husband and two children aged 10 & 11. The rooms were fantastic quality - clean, well stocked and had everything a family could wish for. Jonathan and Clement were very helpful and were a great help in getting directions for us novices!! Would definately recommend Bubba & Bean to anyone who wants a fantastic quality B & B in a great area with great links to all the major sites.

Well, we 7 ladies enjoyed the hospitality at Bubba Bean. It was a second visit for some of us and we weren't disappointed. This really is the best place to stay, it is good value with no compromise on comfort. Ideally placed for transport and lovely locals too. Can't wait to come again some day. Love to Jonathan and Clement; perfect hosts.

We had a wonderful visit to New York because of Bubba and Bean Lodges. The apartments were well maintained and comfortable. The location was very convenient to the local subway to get around to all the sights. Restaurants were right outside our door. We didn't meet a meal we didn't enjoy. All our needs were well taken care of and we would recommend Bubba and Bean to everyone.

We have a delightful stay and Bubba and Bean Lodges. Out room was large, immaculately clean and comfortable. It truly felt like home. The guys where very warm and welcoming; we did not see them much; but knew they where available if we needed them. It was so good to come HOME to a peaceful and quiet atmosphere after a long day of crowds. The subway is one block away and took us no time to get to all the places we wanted to get to. We did however walk a lot and enjoyed New York City so much. Like most tourist we thought that there was a central part of Manhattan. But after checking out Tripadvisor and the experts we realized that we where wrong. All the sights where all over the city and you have to walk or use the public transport to get from one location to another; the lodge was in a perfect location for this. There are also many great restaurants in the area; but what surprised me the most was not only Bubba and Bean, but how friendly New York is on whole. Everyone was willing to help with directions, and the neighbourhood was just perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the stoop and watching the neighbourhood and talking with the locals. I miss NYC!!! We will be back and Bubba and Bean will be our first choice!!

The rooms were so nice and the coffee next store was reasonable and fresh ground beans!The nieghbors were friendly and everything to see was a subway ride away and easy to get to.Will visit and recommend to our friends that this is the place to stay if going to NY. Thank you so much we had a great time. Love Carole and Michael Ames From Bloomingburg NY

I had a tremendously enjoyable stay in June 2009. My couple's studio suite was the perfect base of operations while I blitzed on Broadway and took my friend around to a few of the tourist attractions. I appreciated the cleanliness, the location and the quiet most of all. Jonathan and Clement are most excellent hosts and I shall refer all friends/family to their establishment. There is everything you could possibly need for a few days or a few weeks. Full size fridge was perfect for keeping some small market items, water and restaurant leftovers. The beds were very comfortable, the water in the bathroom always warm and plentiful, and the location close to everything via subway, bus or walking. Highly recommended, but book early - there is a reason Bubba & Bean Lodges is so popular! Laura Ardrossan, Alberta, Canada

We have just came back from here and is highly recommended. We had the room with 2 single beds and was just the right size. Had a large closet to hang our clothes up and store our luggage. The bathroom had a great shower and the kitchen had a small supply of tea bags and sugar and a very large fridge. The location is ideal, 103rd station was less then 5 minutes away and the 6 line takes you to all the main areas. The area is very safe and with some great restaurants and handy shops nearby. Very recommended and we will be back in a few years!

I Stayed at the Bubba & bean lodge in Nov/Dec for 18days. The service was excellent and it was great having the owners on site for any queries. Both went out of there way to help with any questions and even organised transfers for returning to the airport. Room was spotless and cleaned every day. Yummy snacks in a basket on arrival. Bed's very comfy and plenty room in the apartment. Wendy Green

a lovely old house, well kept. apt had a nice kitchen, & was spacious. the area could be a bit depressing (due to the building of high rises), but the house was really nice to come back too. well lit & had small trees. it is also close to many museums & cultural activities, which i did enjoy. the innkeepers were attentive & were there for anything i needed. the winter rates were very reasonable. i would go back, & recommend this b&b for the budget traveler.

My family and I stayed here for 5 nights in October 2008. As it was our first trip to New York we did not know what to expect, but we were very pleasantly surprised on arrival at Bubba and Bean. Our room was immaculately clean, comfortable, quiet and just as good, if not better, than the photos on the website. We had the most amazing few days, made all the more enjoyable by being able to return to the sanctuary of a lovely room each evening. We found the location fine, with the subway very nearby and the bus just outside (we took the bus down to City Hall on our first day to get a feel of the city). There are plenty of places to eat, but our family particularly enjoyed the Joy Burger Bar - a very warm welcome and great food at very reasonable prices. All in all, we would recommend Bubba and Bean to anyone - we are staying there again later in the year when we revisit the city and can't wait to be back.
4.8 on January 13, 2009
My friend and I stayed in BB in Dec 08. We found it very comfortable almost like home! We appreciated the daily cleaning service and also the privacy that we enjoyed. Jonathan and Clement were very thoughtful - they left a Christmas card and a bag of chocolates in our room on Christmas eve - and they really went out of the way to meet all our needs. We really loved the place and I will highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a place to stay in NY. Jamie, Singapore

We came to stay at BBlodges on 22nd-26th November 2008. It was my first time to New York. And i have to say that staying at BBlodges made it extra special. It is located in a perfect distance. Everything is a lovely walk away. Every time we came back to the room after a day out, the light would be on making us feel welcome and warm, and room was really clean. When they say that they want you to feel like home, well they do a great job in doing that. We will defiantly recommend this place to our friends, and will be returning!!! thanks again Jonathan and Clement love Francesca and Ryan (England)

We've stayed in many places in NY and this place is a gem!! Wonderful apartment, great location, clean, nicely decorated and I love the towels --- so soft. The Magazines were informative and the food basket was delicious. I'll definetely come back. Wish we could stay longer. Thanks to Jonathan & Clement great hosts.

A comfortable, cozy, convenient home away from home hosted by two of the nicest innkeepers ever. The beds are very comfortable, the room is nicely decorated, and the subway is only a block away. This is truly a find.

My girlfriend and I stayed at B & B Lodges in Sept - Oct 07 for a week while doing the whole NYC tourist thing... and we were so impressed with the cleanliness, the location, the friendly service and the amazing value for money! We heartily recommend to anyone thinking of visiting New York that they stay here, it's a 2 minute stroll to the Subway that takes you to Grand Central Station in around 10 minutes. Stay here and save a fortune compared to Mid-Town hotels! The rooms are spotless, we loved the free selection of American sweets as well! The housekeepers are excellent and the room is always clean and fresh for us - they even washed up for us which is above and beyond the call of duty and we say a heartfelt thank you to you. You must try the Mexican restaurant down the block - it's so good! All in all, we loved our stay and we will definitely be staying here again on our future visits to The Big Apple. Many thanks to Jonathan and Clement for their excellent lodge! Dave and Beccy, 7-10-07

Don and I are fellow Innkeepers and know how hard it is to keep a guest home running smooth. VERY CLEAN, VERY WELL EQUIPED, comfortable, quiet, great service..a million restaurants within walkign distance, anything you could want to do. 1 Block from the subway, safe parking on the next block. We could not have asked for more for our NYC get away. Thank you both and we hope to see you at our place soon! Don & Allyson, Lake House Inn, ME

people told us that above 94th st is not a safe place to go....Rubbish If you want an excelent B&B go here, if it's available! and more rooms are on the way - good luck with next door guys. I could fill this report with a load of detail but it is not needed. go here - it is good, clean, reasonably priced, quiet, well equiped, 1 small block from subway, bus outside, fresh flowers in the room and hallways, even a bag of popcorn! just stay here, you deserve it and the team do a real good job - suport them in their venture you will not regret it. (there you go guys, trust you still have my address for the cheque!)

I had a wonderful visit everyone was super caring about my stay and when I needed something they would help out the room was clean every day service.. the halls smelled a bit but when you have different people cooking there meals it is bound to be a bit odd.I would of liked an on site worker since i did lock myself out of the room and had to wait in my the hall for a bit of time (there are no phones in the rooms) but local calls are free from a phone in the lobby. I loved the chacter of the area people were friendly and there is a terrific spanish resturant across the street very low keyed but one of the best. staying here you feel you are really living in NYC.

We spent 3 nights in NYC, Dec '06 and enjoyed our little room away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. The innkeepers were most gracious and very helpful. Would have loved to have been able to use the little balcony off of our room but we realize that could be risky for the innkeepers. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Jonathan & Clement for making our stay most enjoyable.
