Our Coaster Cats have quite an expansive work space.
Skylights, even.
During the winter months, our coaster maintenance technicians - Anthony and Heath are in the above photo - bundle up and head out to perform their off-season track work.
Right now, the crazy curves that race Voyage riders back into the station is getting the attention.
And what the heck is Jon up to? He's cut through the eight layers of wooden track (you heard right - eight layers, just like Frosted Mini Wheats) and is per- forming the age-old ritual of out-with-the-old and in-with-the-new. Yes, that's snow on the track.
The Voyage is 1.2 miles long. It has more "air time" than any other wooden roller coaster.
More tunnels, too.
Last summer, the Travel Channel named Voyage #1 in its "Most Insane Wooden Coasters" special.
Are you craving some night rides on Raven, Legend and Voyage? You might want to look into a special event we are planning for coaster enthusiasts called HoliWood Nights. It's for members of coaster clubs we partner with - so everyone in attendance is "coaster crazy."
Need a Voyage refresher course? Take this virtual ride:

Cultural Foundations
The Cultural Foundations program is a rigorous interdisciplinary graduate and doctoral program concerned with the study of educational policies and practices from social, philosophical, historical, and comparative perspectives. The program prepares students for careers in school systems, higher education, foundations, policy research, and government agencies.
Dr. Averil E. McClelland
Cultural Foundations of Education
Study in the foundations of education looks at education on a broader scale, arguing that deliberate and important teaching and learning occurs in a wide variety of settings, which interact in increasingly interdependent ways. Students may focus on a number of areas in the foundations, including equity, educational reform, democracy and education, moral education, multicultural education, international education, and education and the environment.
The program offers a master's degree (M.Ed. or M.A.) with a focus on areas of interest for educators and other professionals interested in educational issues affecting the nation and the world.
The doctoral program offers students the chance to gain well-developed skills in educational analysis, problem solving, and resource identification and use. The degree is beneficial to educators and professionals who want to hold high-level positions in K–12 and higher education, or educators and professionals who want more foundational knowledge to benefit their teaching.

Media Advisory
May 9, 2011
by Carol Adelman
Hudson Institute
WASHINGTON -- Data from the new 2011 Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances, published by Hudson Institute's Center for Global Prosperity (CGP), confirm that for the first full year of the global recession private giving to the developing world has remained remarkably stable.
The 2011 Index will be launched at a May 12th event focusing on the future of global philanthropy. Four distinguished panelists will share their insights on how philanthropy is transforming government aid, and how new forms of giving are transforming philanthropy.
In 2009 (the latest year for which data are available), private philanthropy and remittances from all developed to developing countries were nearly twice as much as government aid ($227 vs. $120 billion). All private financial flows comprise nearly 80 percent of the developed world's total economic engagement with developing countries. This reflects the growth in private endeavors, through philanthropy, remittances, and capital investment, which are now dominant in developing countries, a change from thirty years ago.
The 2011 Index shows that U.S. philanthropy to developing countries was up slightly to $37.5 billion in 2009, compared to $37.3 billion in 2008. Remittances from the United States to developing countries reached an estimated $90.7 billion in 2009, down from $96.8 billion in 2008. This money, sent from migrants living in developed countries to their families and hometown villages, however, was still the largest U.S. financial flow to the developing world in 2009, exceeding private capital investment of $69.2 billion.

Austin Roller Racing
Rapha Roller Racing: International Series Austin, TX
Saturday, July 12th 2008
Texans are a proud people for good reason. There's a single ranch in Texas, the King Ranch, that is bigger than the state of Rhode Island. "Houston" was the very first word spoken from the Moon. The Alamo. Big Tex. And Austin, the home of Lance's new shop, Mellow Johnny's, is widely considered the live music capital of the world. So it came as no surprise when the racers arrived with big style at Mellow Johnny's for the second U.S. stop of the Rapha Roller Race International Series.
Forty-eight racers, representing 12 teams, took their cue from those that had mustered in Portland in February. With names like The Mashers, Doe-Eyed Killers, The Lesley's (after the Austin icon), Half & Half, Cutters, and Fakingers, they brought every ounce as much attitude to the four, 48×15-geared bikes fixed to the stage. Mountain bikers, roadies, triathletes, messengers, fixies that would probably be messengers in any other town, collided, 500m at a time, in front of a capacity crowd.
Just as they had in Portland, the Friday night wild-card qualifiers looked as if they might steal the win when a well-inked kid named Justin raced the semi-final against his "Austin Jesus" team mate named Chris. It was a race Justin would win, and although he didn't know it yet, his reward would be a 1000m showdown against Greg, an endurance mountain bike man. Justin had thrown down 95kph during qualifying, the fastest by far, but rumor was that, to cool down after 24-hour races, Greg squatted longhorns.
The women didn't go down without a fight. After all-women's heats in the first rounds of the evening, the fastest ladies spun against the men in the next. In one of the closest races of the night, Shontell, a sprinter for Colavita/Sutter Home, was just meters from sending a couple guys packing. Only narrowly beaten, Shontell faced two Doe-Eyed Killers in the women's finale, using her professional CAT1 legs to take the Mellow Johnny's track frame grand prize.
When the final showdown of Greg vs. Justin arrived, the crowd fought their way onto the stage. The Mashers, Greg's team, brought actual cheerleaders, while Justin's section was filled with ink, Vans and women that would be too hot to talk to if they weren't so damn cool.
At 1000 meters power is great, but power that can't endure is going to leave somebody disappointed. At 700m, it looked like Justin was going to be the unsung hero until the endurance element of Greg's mountain biking came out to play.
Champagne soon sprayed from Greg's bike. The exhausted combatants shook hands and the crowd wildly cheered both of their fixed gladiators.
The only "losers" at night's end were the evening's MCs, Stack and Prison Boonen, who would be getting up in a few hours for the almost 70-mile Rapha Gentleman's Ride starting at 8am the next day.

How times have changed.
More than 30 years ago, Irvin Kershner was announced as the director of "The Empire Strikes Back," the first sequel to "Star Wars." Kershner was a curious choice -- a director of documentaries, star vehicles and TV episodes -- but in the days before the Internet, the announcement raised hardly a fuss.
On the other hand, last week J.J. Abrams -- a seemingly unimpeachable choice, with his producing, directing and writing experiences on "Lost," "Fringe," "Super 8" and the rebooted "Star Trek" -- was announced as the director of the forthcoming "Star Wars VII."
And the world went nuts.
"Another franchise for him to ruin," a reader named "hey" wrote on CNN's Marquee blog.
"Lost sucked, cloverfield sucked and now the new star wars movies are going to suck worse than the last 3," added screen name "horrible pick."
Whew. Can you imagine what kind of reaction Kershner would have gotten? "There would have been blood in the water," says Shaun Rosado, a pop-culture blogger who puts out a weekly podcast called Shauncastic!
But that's the world we live in now, says Suzanne Scott, a self-described "fan-scholar" who teaches at Occidental College in Los Angeles.
"What I find so interesting is, when you talk about the online, 24-hour news cycle, you have these knee-jerk responses. It's panic," she says. "It shows the power and pervasiveness of fan culture."
Rosado understands the concern.
"In the annals of geek history, there's always been the argument: Which one is better, 'Star Wars' or 'Star Trek'? And until this point, we've never had a director sit down and do both of them," he says. "This is the first time, where we will literally have somebody who's played both sides of the field, and I think a lot of nerds and geeks are a little bit terrified of that."
Lucas 2.0
Since getting the job -- after initial reports he wasn't interested -- Abrams has at least said all the right things.
"To be a part of the next chapter of the 'Star Wars' saga ... is an absolute honor," Abrams said in a statement released by Disney, which owns Lucas' production company Lucasfilm. "I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid."
Moreover, Lucas has given his blessing.
"I've consistently been impressed with J.J. as a filmmaker and storyteller," Lucas said. "He's an ideal choice to direct the new 'Star Wars' film, and the legacy couldn't be in better hands."
Certainly Abrams would seem a logical selection. He's kind of a "Lucas 2.0," with his producing, directing and writing experience.
"Hate him or love him, here's a guy who's worked in multiple genres across multiple media and has his own production company -- which is way more established than George Lucas was when 'Star Wars' came out," says Dan Herbert, a film professor at the University of Michigan.
Abrams says the original 1977 film left a lasting impression on him.
"As a kid I was always a fan of special effects," he told Entertainment Weekly in November. "Watching movies I was constantly trying to figure out how they did it, whatever the effect was. 'Star Wars' was the first movie that blew my mind in that way."
He added, "It galvanized for me; not for what was exciting about how movies were made, but rather for what movies were capable of."
"Star Wars," of course, has been capable of quite a lot. The first film invented the modern sci-fi blockbuster, observes Herbert, and helped redefine America's movie-going habits. And over the years, the "Star Wars" universe has spawned books, television shows, video games, parodies and -- above all -- an array of merchandise that has given the fans themselves control over the story.
It's the reason there's such anger when Lucas, whose empire rests on "Star Wars'" foundation, decides to assert his authorship over the scriptures -- whether it's maintaining that Han Solo wasn't a cold-blooded murderer ("Han shot first!" goes a common refrain among fans, noting that the smuggler played by Harrison Ford actually shot the bounty hunter Greedo unchallenged) or creates a character such as Jar Jar Binks, the goofy, child-friendly Gungan who was called a "Rastafarian Stepin Fetchit" by film critic Joe Morgenstern.
In response to the annoyance with Binks, one fan created a Jar Jar-less version that's come to be known as "The Phantom Edit."
Scott says she believes the conflict arises from the "old-media" Lucas clashing with a savvy, post-Internet fan base.

by Royal Nectar
Perhaps it was all the media hype, the appeal of a British Royal, or the masochist in all of us, but when Sarah came across a face mask with bee venom, the Truth In Aging community was... " Read Full Article
I'm 62 with somewhat dry skin and I'm not one who usually sees results or a difference right away with facial products. I have to agree with all the other reviewers. This mask is awesome.
First time I used it - I left it on for 20 minutes and rinsed off - my skin felt SO different, so soft, smooth and hydrated. I was not expecting to experience this kind of change. Can't wait to see what long term usage will do for me. The smell is wonderful, also. Love it!
I love, love, love this product. I am in the process of ordering the second jar and I can tell you that I have seen good results. I use the mask as my night moisturizer and in the morning the face lift, and I love the feeling. The smell doesn't bother me at all, I actually find it appealing. I am about to turn 50 and believe it or not I look 15 years younger... or at least that is what everybody tells me. I started taking care of my face since I turned 15 and I have basically become a fanatic. I don't buy the most expensive products but I really try to buy natural, organic and cruelty free. My skin looks hydrated, smooth, clearer and feels great... Give it a try, you might find really enjoying the results. I surely do!
I am approaching 40...rapidly, and have noticed that keeping my skin hydrated is a challenge. This product works and works quickly. I apply it in the morning, put on my make up and leave it on all day. I feel a very slight heating or tingling sensation when I first put it on, but it is barely noticeable. I interpret this as ingredients that are going to task! Some reviewers have mentioned an unpleasant scent and I agree that it isn't the best smelling product available however, I would rather use a product that omits ingredients and fragrances that don't serve an active purpose. (I use many "beauty" products every day and I hope they all smell good when combined!)
I'd give this 6 stars if I could - I love this mask and it's got a permanent place in my cabinet. It's lifting, plumping, line erasing, hydrating and even calming, all in one jar! Sadly the effects only seem to last the day but with results like these, I'm not complaining.
Tried it as a tester, along with the Royal Nectar's Moisturizing Face lift. This one is more potent without a question. I use a tiny amount and leave on like a moisturizer and it's great, the skin is plumper and the fine lines are evaporating - or so it seems. Skin is hydrated for a whole day. Will see what happens when I'll ran out of it. The smell is awkward, though. And I would prefer some other preservative. I agee with "I went to the source!" - a mask made entirely of honey & venom seems more healthy. I did that as well, but a honey mask every day - it's a fuss. Still - with phenoxyethanol inside it - I will probably end up doing just that.
Wow! Oscar Wilde said "never trust a woman who reveals her true age". So, I will admit to being a speed limit........I love, love , love this product. Leave on for 20 mins, wash off, and your foundation is ooooooooh. Dewy, glow . Where is the mirror? I can't stop looking in the mirror. 5 mins Later, double check that look is still there? Phew. So, last night I applied this magic mask and left it on overnight, and yes, I give this product six stars.
An absolutely wonderful mask.
This is one of only two products that I have ever found that can effectively take down the red, sensitive patches on my cheeks which are due to rosacea, dehydration and broken capillaries.
(Bizarrely, the other is La Mer Concentrate which is hideously expensive and full of questionable ingredients).
On top of the dealing with my cheeks, I find my skin has that post salon-facial plumped up feeling all day and is very smooth and hydrated. I notice a significant difference in the marionette lines that are beginning to form every time I use it - the effects of using this cream are comparable to a caci facial which I swear by.
I am 40 years old and will continue to use this product and will be buying the moisturiser as well to see if it is as effective. I wish they made an eye cream!
I like this product a lot. It's got a very nice hand feel, and slips onto the skin easily. A little goes a long way. I've noticed good results on my neck (along with Brad serum).
I just wanted to post a little bit of a warning. I put some on one morning and went out into the driveway to do something. (CA, spring, etc) The wisteria are in bloom and if you've never smelled them, it's a lovely fragrance and attracts lots of bees. But here's the unfortunate thing: with Bee Venom on, I managed to become more of an attraction than the wisteria. They made a bee line for me. I went inside and washed it off and the bees paid no more attention to me. So if I were planning a day outdoors, I probably wouldn't put this on and leave it. Just saying, that's all.
I love this one. I'm in my 30's and would apply it after cleansing in the evening. I don't even bother washing it off now. It tightens nicely the skin, won't leave any greasy residue and won't make me break out. It has a strange soapy smell, but if you can get past that, the results are really noticeable - fine lines are lessened and the face is well hydrated.
I use this as a moisturizer because it doesn't need to be washed off. It smells and feels heavenly.
I find it quite drying. Not very happy with the product at all. I also find the fragrance quite strong.
Instead of spending $65 on a small jar why not buy a larger jar of straight Manuka Honey with Bee Venom straight from the manufacturer in New Zealand? I bought a 8 oz jar of Manuka honey with bee venom for $23 and I put the honey straight on my face. You get all the active ingredients without all the fillers. It's cheaper. AND you can eat a teaspoon a day to benefit from its anti-inflammatory effects. Great for Muscle weakness, M.S., Parkinsons, Arthritis, Gout, Acid Reflux, Digestion, Gas, Rosacea, Eczema. It dries on then washes right off.
I LOVE this product. Why?
It's in my cabinet for 2 things: 1. Botox like 2. Acne
I'll put this mask on when my skin needs a bit of an overhaul and I feel like there are too many wrinkles developing. It helps to smooth out the skin.
If I notice I'm starting to have a bit of an acne breakout, I'll also use this mask and it helps to keep it/them at bay.
The mask performed well every time I used it, but I did not see the need to use it every day. While there does not seem to be a cumulative effect, a "refreshed" look is there each time I have used the mask. I have 55-year-old skin that has really begun to sag a lot over the last year. The mask has had no impact on my turkey neck, but it does seem to perk up the areas around my eyes and jowls.
My skin is not dry and it tends to be somewhat oily in the T-zone area; so, I was expecting the oils in the product to leave my face looking like an oil slick. Instead, my skin was perfectly hydrated and felt very comfortable!
I love this mask! It does what I expect it to do every time I use it.
This product is fantastic!...Like many others, I have spent copious amounts of money on skin care products with not much of a noticeable change. But, after only three days of applying a light application morning and night, my skin is soft and age lines are disappearing. I'm totally amazed! I'm 69.
I have 47-year-old sensitive skin thaI will keep this as a permanent part of my skincare routinet is prone to breakouts. After a treatment, my skin feels hydrated and pampered - very soft and without the redness that usually follows even a mild cleansing. This is a nourishing mask that also manages to smooth my fine lines and sagging "laugh lines."
This product is fabulous.
Mid-December was just the right time to get started with this, given cold weather and lifelong dry skin. I have used the mask once or twice a week for four weeks – not a long time but long enough to recognize that is both lovely to use and produces notable results, too. Each time I found my skin feeling really softer, smoother, and wonderfully hydrated.
If you are looking for an amazing bee venom moisturizer that leaves the skin velvety soft and ultra hydrated try BV-9 Platinum by a company called benir.
at what age can we start using this mask?
If one is allergic to bee stings, uses an EPI PEN to prevent Anaphylaxis, what would happen if she used a Bee Venom Face Mask?
I stumbled upon this review and purchased Royal Nectar. I'm not one for leaving reviews/comments, but I must this time.
I've been out of Retin A for over a year. I've searched everywhere for a cream that might produce similar results: refreshed, younger-looking, clear skin. Finally, finally, finally. I've only been using it for 5 days — sometimes as a mask in the morning; sometimes as a light cream. This is the most amazing anti-aging cream I've ever used — non-prescription or prescription! My skin is bright, light, and clear. I already knew bees were amazing: I've been a beekeeper for 8 years, but this is just one more reason.
Truly: Thank you SO much for introducing me to it through your review!

Not a great place to stay its a motel I guess its a bed to put your head downGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not great but survivable"
The room was generally a bit grubby and some of the electrical fittings were falling out. The location was very convenient to get to. The beds were reasonably comfortable. All in all, it wasn't a great place to stay but as one of the cheapest and best located for where I needed to get to it surficed.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hey, there's a bed"
Walkable distance from the Palo Alto Caltrain station (~0.6 miles), but walking along narrow crosswalks/very wide streets (a block or two from the Stanford shopping centers). Rooms seem rather old but it was clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I had to shower, shave and brush my teeth with cold, brown water...I assume it was rust from the pipes. Either way, it was disgusting. Terrible experienceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
I was afraid.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not worth the money"
The only positive thing about this hotel was that it was clean. Nothing on the rooms worked-phone, radio, tv, coffeepot. The appearance outside was unpleasant-dirty, unkept, etc. The people were friendly but that's all I can say. I would not recommend this hotel for anyone.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not trying hard enough"
Basic lodging at a good price for the area, but the smoke detector in my room was disabled and when I called the desk at 9 am, no one answered, and when I went to the office, no one was there. WiFi is poor.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cheap and reasonably clean"
That's the best I can say. The beds were comfortable, but the rest of the furniture was awful--stained and broken down. All of the basics were there, but the heating and cooling were provided by portable units--doubt that they would have done the job. Happily, we did not need either.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Did not stay"
The place was run-down, the room old and there was no way that my wife and I would stay so we ended up eating the $149.00 that we had pre-paid through hotels.com. We ended up going next door to the Best Western.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Some Pictures do LIE! Others do not"
I had to take my mom to see a specialist at Stanford Medical Center. My parents are in their late seventies and on a fixed income, so when I found out about mom's appointment I decided to take them. I wanted them to have a nice experience so I started shopping around on the inter net and looked at a lot of pictures of motel room, when I came across […] Expedia's web page. I said to my self, "I've heard a lot about them, this should be a sure bet". Boy was I wrong, ( I have pictures to back up all that I am telling you) Not only is the Stanford Inn old, it is run down and falling apart. The room is a lot smaller then it looks and looks like it is out of the early sixties and look like that was when it had it's last paint job. Stains all over the walls in every room. The bathroom is so small you have to squeeze between the sink and the tub/shower to get in and speaking of the sink you better wash your hands real fast or the sink will over flow, because it is plugged up! Not only were there loose and missing tile around the kitchen sink, but there was still food left in the drain screen. There is a ceiling fan which would have been great had it worked and had it been cleaned(dust was so think in the blades you could see it) because the portable air conditioner was a joke. Had an extension cord run to use it, but if you turned it so it blew towards the beds it opened up a hole in the wall. Would not go below 79 degs.

"Old and tired."
We were very disappointed when we drove in. There is only a tiny drive in the back off the alley. We drove completely around the block and then into the alley before finding the entrance. It was very tight to get in to a very small courtyard. They did arrange for us to be downstairs since my husband does not do stairs and the staff was friendly. The […] room was larger than I expected. It had an updated kitchen, a dining area, a bed room area and a small very old bathroom. It was close to the activities we attended. We won't stay there again but it worked out for us this time. The room was reasonably priced. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A Picture is worth a 1,000 words!"
The outside resembled the pic on Expedia, but the inside was horrific! Ripped curtains, stained chairs and sofa, cigarette burns on chairs, gang bang writing on ironing board, broken furniture stored in the closet, no screens on the windows, room smelled from the gas stove, the kitchen was filthy, the building next door was covered with gang writing […] and the train is right across the street from the hotel. There is a "community bathroom" for rooms without their own private bath as some rooms are a converted garage! People using the community bath kept me up slamming the door. Water pressure is zero, especially the cold water. I will never stay there again. It was the dirtiest hotel I have ever been in. There were no pillow cases on the pillows. I did not even sleep under the covers, it was so gross. If you are a Stanford Hospital patient you will be very disappointed and grossed out by this hotel. If you are use to living in filth then you will be right at home. I would have rather slept in my car or in the lobby at the hospital. I do not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy!

"Quaint, old fashioned, very comfy, apt style"
I would definitely stay here again. Adorably quaint restructured architecture with a dining room and kitchenette including hot plate, microwave, toaster, coffee pot,etc.coffee, tea, condiments provided. Huge closets, friendly staff. Plenty of space. Short walk to Stanford Mall.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Budget appartments"
possibly a good choice for a group/family on a budget holiday. I was not pressed by my bufget so much (employer) and I did regret a bit I did not go for the standard choice (of the conference), about +2/3 of the price but many levels up. The official photos of the hotel make the impression better than the reality is: rusty windows, broken rim of the […] kitchen sink, the room just below the roof and got heated by the sun => when I came back in the evening the temperature was too high (they switched the AC off during the day) and the AC would not be strong enough to regulate the temp. quickly. Somehow I got used to everything and more or less enjoyed my stay, but I will read reviews more carefully next time. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Dreadful place beware"
We made our reservation based on the pictures on the website and we cancelled our stay there when we saw the condition of the hotel, the grounds and the room. It was terrible, looked like something out of a third world country. We found a very clean Best Western a block away.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Great deal on convenient clean location"
It was a large comfortable room, very clean, and even had a kitchenette. My only complaint was a lack of TV stations and very old TV. However, somebody had left a novel and I enjoyed that. Another issue was that the website offered a choice of a smoking room. I selected that but my room had a sign saying "NON-SMOKING". If smoking is not ever available […] I would prefer that be stated up front in the website. The location was ideal for my visit to the Stanford Clinic. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Disappointing -- take your own towels!"
This hotel was very disappointing. From the pictures, the rooms looked attractive, clean, and new. This is not the case. The room I stayed in was an old, one-bedroom studio with a separate kitchen and bathroom. The side of the bed was damaged; plugs on the walls were cracked ; the tub was dirty; the towels had stains on them. The furniture and carpets […] were dirty, old, and faded. A few of the chairs had burned holes from cigarettes in them; the couches had stains on them. The bar holding the curtains in my room were broken. The room had a musky smell, and the internet connection wasn't great. The room itself is not well-insulated, and I was pretty cold at nights when I slept. (Granted, I did not use the heater in the room. So, I'm not sure if that was in working order or not.) Situated on El Camino Real right next to the Caltrans train line, the room was also very, very loud. I spent 4 nights there, and the only night I was able to sleep was the first after a very tiring and long day of travelling. Despite this, I will say that the staff was very nice. The fridge and microwave were also pretty clean, and I could use them with no problems. For the price, I thought the place was decent. As I am not too fussy, the place did the job for me. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who might be in Palo Alto to tour the city, or to anyone who might be fussy. If you don't want to spend too much money and decide to stay here, I would recommend that you bring your own towels. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Dont stay here."
The hotel was in dreadful repair. Mold growing on the baseboards. The window openers were all broken. You couldn't close the windows once they were open. We walked into an 90 degree room that would not cool down despite the rinky dink cooler they had. We could not sleep because the room was too hot.Genuine Expedia guest review
"pleasntly surprised"
im not going to lie I was scared at first when I seen the hotle! but the staff was great and when we went inside the room I was pleasantly surprised! it was like having your own lil apartment! it was great so u could make your own food, and u didnt feel like a hotel! we would definitely stay stay there again!Genuine Expedia guest review
"The REVOS experience"
When I first walked in the room smelled of urine and chlorine. We had to open out windows and also out the curling fan on full blast to expel all the odor. Opening the restroom window and shutting the door helped a bit.Genuine Expedia guest review
"needed a place close to medical center"
It was close we also needed a reasonable price. This proved completely uncomfortable for my daughter. We were guaranteed a wheelchair none was provided. We were told there would be 2 queen size beds. There was only one. The heater was unworkable My daughter was uncomfortable all night. I did phone and cancel that night for the next day.Genuine Expedia guest review
I stayed one night with my niece and two four year olds. At first they put us in a room with wrong size beds but promptly moved us to another room. I liked the old style feel of the rooms and the room was bright with plenty of space. Parking was horrible with only five spots for the whole hotel. I suspected that our bedding wasn't changed since our […] pillow cases were dirty. My niece left her hair straightner in the room and after calling to confirm it was there we went back to pick it up. It had somehow dissappeared. I would request new bedding right away if you choose to stay here. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Worst place I've ever stayed"
If you're looking for spacious and don't care about clean, then this place is for you. It was huge (way more than I needed). I pulled back the sheets on each bed to decide which one was the least of the evils...I picked the one that didn't have hair on the sheets. The room smelled musty...every sitting surface looked filthy, the room smelled musty, […] the parking lot was terrible (not sure how the Suburban next to me even got into the parking lot, let alone parked). The shower still had the soap and shampoo that had been USED by the prior guests in it. The pictures online make this place look way better than it is. I'd never stay here again and have learned my lesson on booking my room at the Stanford Guest House (much nicer) months in advance. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Worst hotel I've ever been to"
I had to leave without spending the night. The only window that opened was three feet away from a busy highway with exhaust fumes coming in. The sheets were dirty nad there was no mattress comver. There was garbage left in the kitchenGenuine Expedia guest review
Although it's conveniently close to Stanford it is not worth staying here. Parking is not abundant. There were black streaks on the pillows and cigarette burns on the comforters. There were screws holding the door mechanism together, we did not feel safe. So we left and stayed elsewhere.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Noisy, dirty but relatively cheap for its location"
Lots of hair on the bed. The AC was noisy. You can hear everything going on on the streets. No elevator. No staff working in the morning. No breakfast! Price is good for the location. Took me 5 mins to walk to Stanford shopping center, 20 mins to Stanford hospital. Stay here only if you're on a tight budget, have to stay near Stanford, and dont mind […] hair on the bed. Bring ear plugs! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Look Closer-There's a lot to like"
If you look past the initial impression of a small motel that hasn't been upgraded in several years, you'll find a quiet, convenient and comfortable place with very helpful and friendly staff. It is close to Stanford and the Menlo Park downtown, on El Camino. EC traffic noise is very noticeable for the units right on the street. I was booked for two […] nights, and extended my stay three more nights because of the price/convenience of the Stanford Inn. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Avoid this hotel"
I arrived late and alone at this hotel and was displeased with everything from the potholes in their parking lot to the footprint on my pillow case. Staff greeted me with a key and informed me that the lights did not work and acted put out when I said that was not acceptable. While I was out buying a sheet set and blanket they did restore the lighting […] for me. I avoided the dirty linen by laying a king size sheet over the bed and using purchased blankets. The result was an unmade bed...which interestingly enough is exactly how I found it (foot print on the pillow case and all) when I stayed at the same hotel two nights later (I had pre-paid, and there is a 3 day cancellation policy). There are also NO security locks and I spent two very insecure and uncomfortable nights here. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Within Walking Distance to A Lot"
The room was large and had a nice sized little kitchen with a mini fridge, coffee pot, full stove and microwave. There was a four chair dinning area. Both beds were queen sized. It was a five min walk from the mall and several very tasty cafes. My only complaint was the room was cleaned one time in the four days I was there. Also, there was never anyone […] at the front desk. The only time I saw someone there, was when I had to ring the bell to check in. Over all the stay was a pleasant. It's location to shopping, food, University Ave, and CalTrans was a HUGE plus. I would book this hotel again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel for a reasonable price"
The hotel's greatest strength is its location and the price. The room I stayed had nice furniture and was clean and spacious, complete with a small kitchen and dining area. The kitchen was fully-equipped with a microwave oven, fridge and utensils (drinking glasses, plates, etc). My room faced the street, but it was not noisy -- I was able to sleep very […] well at night. Housecleaning came everyday to make the bed, change the towels and clean the room. The only thing that bothered me was the leaking faucet in the bathroom. The bathroom was fine: the toilet, shower all worked well (and there was even complimentary shampoo bottles and soap), but it would benefit from an upgrade. Overall, I recommend it to travellers who want to stay close to Stanford (the Stanford Shopping Mall is a 5-minute walk away) and want a comfortable, clean room (with kitchen) at a reasonable price.

"Good, clean, basic accommodation"
For the price, this accommodation is fantastic. We will definitely stay again. The place is clean and tidy, with a good kitchen available for those staying on a longer trip and who don't want to eat out every night. It's close enough to public transport, and has enough parking on and near site for those who want to drive.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Eh, it was okay..."
It's a mix of the hotel in "My Cousin Vinny" and Bruce Willis' hotel in "Pulp Fiction".

It's REALLY cheap but amazing location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Not as expected."
The hotel room was clean and had updated imenitites, but that was about it for the plus side of things. The outside courtyard was not kept up to the standard as seen in photos from the site and was in need of a lot of general mantainance. Upon check in, I was greeted cheerfully and when I was stating I had a reservation and gave my name, I was given […] a plain wihte envelope with my name and room number on it with the key enclosed. I was not asked for ID or any form of confirmation to affirm I was who I said I was. Security is definatley lax, I was glad I remembered to pack my sidearm with me. The hotel claims to have a 14 unit complex which is true, but the parking is very inadequate with only 5 parking spaces on premesis and 3 of those being taken up by ownership. I was offered a parking pass to park on the adjacent street which gave no securtiy to my personal property. I don't expect to return to this establishment any time soon. In closing, I would not recommend this to any friends or family, especially any single females traveling. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Only stay here in warm weather."
The location and stye of this hotel is quite suitable for families. Because of the lack of consistant heating throughout the room, it is not ideal in winter, fall and early spring. Our criticisms stem from these issues we found in our room: No sheets on the master bed, no soap in the bathroom (not even bar soap) and dishes from the previous guest were […] left in the sink.

"Cozy and Quaint, a little lumpy and not too quiet."
I loved the location and the front desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. I loved the size of the room perfect for families and those visiting for long periods would enjoy the studio apartment type layout. I had requested a quiet room which was off the main street (El Camino) however the constant slamming of door next to mine and the loud noise from […] the upstairs room required me to wear ear plugs. The shower was a little funky and smelled mildewing and it dripped non stop. Fortunately the door closed and blocked it out. The negatives would be bed was well worn and bit lumpy, sheets had what appeared to be metal dryer streaks on them and most importantly, the front door was flimsy, had a simple bedroom door lock and the chain was broken. OTHERWISE, a decent hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Ahola, Iwaha One of my favorite things to do when dazing off (in my spare time) is to think about fake mon. Ever since I got into 4th gen competitive battling, I have been accumulating ideas for this region called "Iwaha." As most users know, all the regions in the pokemon games are based off of areas in Japan. "Iwaha" is not, but based on Hawaii (Iwaha is the Japanese spelling for Hawaii, Hawai, spelled backwards). Since Japanese and Hawaiian words actually have similar sounds, I thought of the cheesy idea to just name all the islands and cities in the region the names of Hawaiian places, backwards. "Ahola" is "Aloha" backwards (Aloha means "hello" in Hawaiian). A lot of these are still rough sketches/concept art so please forgive. :P I'll try to be more creative that that from here. Divergent Evolution One of my ideas for the region was to include a concept of Evolution more similar to how evolution actually works. Iwaha is an island region separated by thousands of miles of ocean. Needless to say, the only way pokemon could arrive there would be by flying or swimming, which limits the number and types of pokemon that could potentially arrive there. If your name is "Sandshrew," good luck. In the real Hawaiian islands, few species that did arrive, evolved into hundreds and thousands in order to fill open niches. I thought to simply bring this idea back by making what I call "Divergent Evolution Groups." Divergent Evolution Group: Pidgey Pidgey had the honor of being one of the few pokemon I had the wind blow from far away to reach Iwaha, and start its own Divergent Evolution Group. The concept is based off of the Honeycreeper group of birds. The idea being hundreds of species of birds evolving from 1 or 2 original finch-like species. Pidgey is my Finch-like species. I also put on the stipulation that pokemon from the same Divergent Evolution Pool would all have the same Base Stat Total, meaning all these pokemon would have the same BSTs as Pidgeot on final evolution. Say hi to Pidgey's new family: Iwipo, Fire/Flying Jijinpo, Ground/Flying Kuroppo, Dark/Flying Raippo, Electric/Flying Zoroppo, Steel/Flying Keep in mind Pidgey's Japanese name is "Poppo," where the names of the others were made from. Now, here comes the big question-- who cares? How are they any more related than any other pokemon from separate lines? What does being a "Divergent Evolution Group" mean besides flavor? From a battle perspective, I decided to include this little feature: Divergent Evolution Group Ability: Shared Heritage of Moves A father of a Divergent Evolution Group can pass on any of his level up moves to any offspring belonging to the same group, as well as moves it learned through Divergent Evolution Breeding. What this means in example, is that a Zoroppo could be born knowing Earthquake (from Jijinpo) and Flare Blitz (from Iwipo). Some relavent moves in the Divergent Evolution Group Pool: From Iwipo Line: Overheat Fire Blast Lave Plume Flamethrower Flare Blitz Morning Sun Sunny Day Solar Beam From Jijinpo Line: Earthquake Earth Power Stealth Rock Rapid Spin From Jijinpo Line: Night Slash Dark Pulse Pursuit Sucker Punch Payback Faint Attack Confuse Ray Perish Song Nasty Plot Calm Mind Taunt From Raipo Line: Thunderbolt Thunder Wave Discharge Thunder Light Screen Baton Pass From Zoroppo Line: Iron Head Bullet Punch Stone Edge Brave Bird Spikes Swords Dance So yeah, quite a bit to work with when adding in Pidgeot's normal movepool, and being able to mix and match with different typings. Now, onto the fully evolved pokemon. Zorogeot Steel / Flying Abilities 1: Rock Head Ability 2: Technician Base Stats: HP: 75 ATK: 115 DEF: 115 sp.A: 20 Sp.D: 53 Speed: 91 Zorogeot was the first Iwipo Evolution concept I put together, must have been at least 3 years ago. For pidgey's family members, I tried to pick types that worked well with flying (and the flavor of being honey creepers, which is why I wrote out water). Steel is a proven winner. Still, I wanted it to be different from Skarmory, a more offensive pokemon. Something of a cross between Lucario and Skarmory if you will, and this is what I got. Some may have noticed that the name/design nods at Zoro from One Piece. :P Example sets: Jolly/Adamant Rock Head Life Orb / Leftovers / Shed Shell 252 ATK, 252 Speed, 4 HP -Brave Bird -Flare Blitz -Earthquake -Swords Dance Jolly/Adamant Rock Head @Choice Scarf 252 ATK, 252 Speed, 4 HP -Brave Bird -Flare Blitz -Earthquake -U-Turn Jolly Rock Head Focus sash 252 ATK 252 Speed, 4HP -Stealth Rock -Bullet Punch / Rapid Spin -Brave Bird -Earthquake / Rapid Spin Of course I left a lot of other potential fun. You could try roost of course, and there are the dark moves Sucker Punch and Pursuit from Kuroppo's family. Technician has potential with Aerial Ace, Pursuit and Bullet Punch in the mix but . . . well, Rock Head Brave Bird/Flare Blitz seems overall better. Iwijeot Fire / Flying Ability: Magma Heart: This pokemon is immune to rock and fire. In detail: This ability grants immunity to all Rock attacks and Stealth Rock as well as all Fire attacks. It also grants immunity to sand, since Sand Storm is a Rock Attack. In flavor: I'll try to write pokedex entries eventually, but Iwipo is a pokemon born and living on the volcanic terrains of Iwaha. It is said to be a messenger of the volcano goddess, and is thus granted protection by her from those elements she controls-- fire and rock. Base Stats: HP: 79 ATK: 20 DEF: 135 Sp.A: 105 sp.D: 65 Speed: 65 Concept: Going more into the concept design, the pokemon is based off of the real life bird Iʻiwi, which, along side it's main source of food the lelehua flower, thrive on forest grown over craggy volcanic areas. The goddess Pele, the volcano goddess, is one of the most powerful in Hawaiian mythology, and the rocks of Hawaii are considered her children (and you will incur her wrath and be cursed should you take lava from Hawaii). I combined the real life bird with the myth to give it its special ability. It should also be noted that the feathers of both the I'iwi in real life and Iwijeot in my made up Iwaha, were prized in ancient times by natives who used the feathers to make the cloaks of kings. Red was considered the color of royalty. I think this ties more flavor to Iwijeot's devine place and ability. Strategy: Sample set: Bold Leftovers (EVs would change with meta I'm sure) -Spikes / Stealth Rock -Roost -Lava Plume -Whirlwind / Rapid Spin Ironically, if you replace Fire/Flying's 4x Rock Weakness with a Rock immunity, it becomes an arguably better typing for a physical wall than Skarmory's Steel/Flying. In fact, there were a lot of parallels between Iwijeot and Skarmory, so I decided to give it similar base stats (though special instead of physical). Resistances: Immune: Rock, Fire, Ground 4x Resist: Bug, Grass 2x Resist: Fighting, Steel Weaknesses: Water, Electric With such awesome resistances, Iwijeot would be able to switch into a wide range of physical attackers with near impunity. Infernape? Lucario? Scizor? Metagross? Tyranitar? Machamp? Breloom? Heracross? lol All useless in the face of this little birdie. That's not the end of this brilliant typing. Like Skarmory, you only have 2 weaknesses, both predominantly special. Unlike Skarmory, you are not trapped by Magnezone (or anything outside Wobb) so feel free to switch to Blissey at will. Speaking of switching, Iwijeot here is immune to Stealth Rock, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sand and Burn, so it is resilient to passive damage to the point that it almost has Magic Guard (damn toxic and leech seed lol). Jijinjeot Ground / Flying Ability: Arena Trap Base Stats: HP: 130 ATK: 15 DEF: 102 sp.A: 15 sp.D: 102 Speed: 105 You getting the feeling that these pokemon are getting more and more broken? Yeah well . . . leave me alone! *runs* They have only 469 bst right?? They can't be uberz!!! Anyway, conceptually, I designed a bird who had lost flight, but instead use a huge wingspan to send tremors into the ground, shifting the ground to trap insects within its territory to capture. Hence the ability "Arena Trap." Also, he's brown to disguise himself from above as he moves across the ground, with the blue belly used to reveal itself to other Jijinjeot for mating. Males with better blue, winz. Arena trap with 469 bst wouldn't be so broken-- if not for the fact that I gave it monstrous defenses and speed, along with Spikes/SR/Rapid Spin in the Divergent Family movepool. Sample Set: Impish / Careful / Jolly Leftovers -Spikes -Rapid Spin -Stealth Rock / Whirlwind / Toxic / Taunt / Roost -Stealth Rock / Whirlwind / Toxic / Taunt / Roost I think you can see how nuts this would be Alternatively: Impish / Careful / Jolly Leftovers -Agility -Swords Dance -Baton Pass -Taunt / Roost This thing does this so much better than Gliscor. My intent was always to make the 8th Gym Leader of Iwaha a user exclusively of Pidgey's Divergent Evolution line (5 divergent line Evos + Pidgeot). In the story line, Satoshi (Ash) was supposed to visit Iwaha, and actually meet the 8th Gym Gym Leader shortly after arriving. Part of the Gym Leader's character design was that he is the mail man for the Pokemon League. This is important because it establishes both the small size of the island chain, and the closeness of the Iwaha community (the strongest Gym Leader delivers them all mail, lol). After visiting the professor in Iwaha, Satoshi would meet and challenge the 8th Gym leader to a friendly match-- where he promptly gets his ass handed to him. It is a wake up call to Satoshi to become at least a bit more competitive-minded. As such, I wanted 8th Gym Leader to be of a similar age as Ash to be a rival character of sorts. He's friendly out-going, always got a smile on his face and he's the kind of guy who always looks ready to hop on a bird and take off or jump in the ocean for a quick cool-off. Hence the board shorts and slippers. :P Making a Champion After I finished putting my ideas together about the Pidgey evolutions (and I still haven't done art for the last two), my next idea was to start designing a champion. Sad, but this is just how my mind works-- designing the best, first. I still haven't gotten my ideas together about the character of the champion himself, but I'm thinking older, guy (because there's no replacing Cynthia), and his element will be one of the strongest of all-- water. We had Lance, we had Steve, but Wallace fails when it comes to showing the power of the last of the great 3 types. So, I set out to make a team that would be insanely powerful, bordering completely broken. The motto-- the same Misty told you all those years ago: "All out offense with water pokemon." Kujiryuu Kujiryuu is actually a pokemon I had ideas for even before starting to work on the champion. It all began with the question: "What type combination and ability would produce the ultimate Choice Specs user?" When considering Choice pokemon, the most important facets are: -Terrific Neutral STAB -Near-Perfect Neutral Coverage -Power -Speed -Resilience to passive damage (to allow for more switches) -Resistances (to allow for more switches) -Resilience against status (good for any offensive pokemon) Kujiryuu is the answer to all these. Water / Ground Ability: Magic Guard HP: 120 ATK: 65 DEF: 90 Sp.A: 130 Sp.D: 85 Speed: 110 Champion using: Timid Choice Specs 252 sp.A 252 Speed 4 HP -Water Spout -Earth Power -Ice Beam -Hydro Pump Banned before you can say "Garchomp." lol As a pseudo-legendary meant to be abused by the champion, and also considering it was made with the express purpose of creating Specs perfection, I fully expected it to be wayy over-powered, so might well be thorough. With this typing and ability, you have immunity to SR, spikes, toxic spikes, sand, hail, leech seed, poison, burn and thunder wave. That's some resilience. You also get immunity to electric and resistance to fire, rock, steel and poison, with only 1 weakness. Well, you all know about Swampert's terrific typing. Being a whale, it got access to Water Spout, arguably the greatest choice move ever made. There is no other move in the game that has its combined base power and coverage-- along with power that does not fall unless the opponent damages you, a task that will be difficult against Kujiryuu's immunity to passive damage and 110 base speed. Specs Water Spout here does 39.6% - 46.8% to Bold Bliss, 59.4% - 69.9% in the rail (which one of Kujiryuu's team mates will be aiming to setup). Crocune actually takes more-- 40.1% - 47.3%, or 59.9% - 70.5% in rain. Earth Power is secondary STAB and consistent power all in one. As an example of power, it does 51% minimum to Vaporeon. While Ground coverage is questionable on a choice pokemon, immunity to Thunder Wave is certainly worth it. Plus, Ice Beam is always there as a go-to move with awesome coverage that supports both STABs. Hydro Pump fills out as consistent power for the stronger Water STAB should Water Spout get crippled. With the dependable Earth Power in the wings, I went with HP over Surf.
...I never thought of Divergent evolution... I really do like the idea. Kinda like shellos! What about Co-Evolution, where two pokemon evolve together to help each other? But I really love the idea of Divergent Evolution. oh and... HOLYSHIT your good! man...that misty and milotic! GOD its good!
Dude Holy Shit!! this is awesome love Zorogeot! Reminds me of a mix of skarmory with kabutops! Looks great, oh an I love the spiritomb and azelf! Keep up the good work! ^_^
Daaaamn these are cool man, I've had the divergent evo idea before but you really took it to new levels. A++ Stuff :D
Oh my lord. Those fakemon are awesome. I really like them, although the bad stats are too low for them to be really believable!
Wow. I'm tempted to try and get a badge so I can 5* this thread... Needless to say you are awesome. I epecially like the two lakeside fall scenes you made... I have never seen any art like that, and it's really unique and gives off a vibrant energy that I can't quite put my finger on... And the divergent evolution group thing seems really interesting, and you have a knack for designing creatures, and the artwork is, once again, fantastic. I especially love the painting of all the poppo together Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Seriously Neo-GameFreak could learn a lesson or two from you Anyway, I'm pretty much finished my raving here. Please please PLEASE keep it up. It's artists like you that brighten up my day.
Just dropping by to say that all the pictures here are extremely well-done, the way you combine modern concepts with the influences of classical Asian art is just so so amazing.
oh god more. please more. Great stuff, I especially like the divergent evo idea, and the pidgey evos look amazing! =D
you know someone is insanely creative when they are both a fantastic artist and can come up with the idea of divergent evolutions, whole other regions, and storylines to go with those regions. keep it up, 5 stars for sure! =)
Thanks guys, but for now I'm not so free on time-- I just started a new job, in a new place (I'm living in a village in Japan). Imma gonna be focusing what time I have for art on MAP (because Dragon's Den is epic) and stuff for The Smog so it'll likely be a while before I get back to Iwaha.
So how'd you make the tree in the first drawing of the thread? Was it texture usage, custom brushes, or mad concentration skills?
A combination of hand drawing and getting some texture from clone stamp tool and some photos of real momoji I have taken. :)
